Domineering

Chapter 22 Shock
Chu Xisheng was no longer the first brother who would shake his hands when he killed a chicken when he first came to this world.

He has been in the Sitong Escort Agency for three months, and has experienced several bloody fights, and three people have died under his knife.

But when he saw a row of more than 70 miserable corpses in front of him, he still couldn't help but feel nauseated.

Chu Xisheng frowned, but still stepped into the street.

This is the way this world is, where martial arts are rampant, the strong are respected, and there are many people who use force to recklessly act.

If he can't take the initiative to adapt to this man-eating world and grasp the power to survive, he will be eaten by this world sooner or later.

Enduring the pungent smell and stench on the street, Chu Xisheng looked around for him.

Not long after, Chu Xi saw a signboard of 'Li Ji Herbal Medicine Shop', her eyes lit up immediately, and she walked over with Lu Luanli.

It was Chu Xisheng's first visit to Firebone Cave.

He has no acquaintances here, but Ye Zhiqiu knew that he wanted to prepare secret medicines, so he recommended Liji Herbal Medicine Shop to him.

This is a 50-year-old brand with a fair reputation.

Ye Zhiqiu is also a regular customer of this herbal medicine shop, as long as Ye Zhiqiu's name is mentioned, the herbal medicine shop will not dare to deceive customers.

However, when Chu Xisheng proposed to buy 'Yangyang Grass', the shopkeeper of the herbal medicine shop showed embarrassment.

"Guest officer, if I had come four days earlier, I would have sold yang yang grass here, but now—"

The shopkeeper smiled wryly: "Nowadays, in the entire market, only the Long family's firm sells yangyangcao, and the price is ridiculously high. It costs 220 taels of magic silver per plant."

After Chu Xisheng heard this, she couldn't help being surprised: "Why is it so expensive?"

He had inquired about the price of Yangyang grass, and it was usually around a hundred taels.

This time, Chu Xisheng took 80 taels of magic silver from Cao Qianhu during the disturbance in the library, and extorted some silver from Lu Luanli, which was just enough to buy a Yangyang grass.

Yangyang grass can only be produced in the deepest part of Firebone Cave, and even the most experienced herb pickers have to rely on luck to get it.

This was far beyond Chu Xisheng's ability.

So his plan is to buy Yangyangcao with silver, and collect the supplementary materials of the secret medicine by himself.

"It's the handwriting of the eldest son of the Long family."

The shopkeeper of the herbal medicine shop pointed to the wooden stakes and corpses outside with a wry smile: "Did you see that? More than 60 heroes from the Iron Banner Gang, plus more than a dozen herb pickers, all died at the hands of the Long family.

The reason why the eldest son killed so many people was to monopolize several medicinal materials in the Fire Bone Cave.Now whoever dares to sell Yangyangcao to other medicine shops will be put on a wooden stake by the Long family. "

He sighed softly, with a sad expression on his face: "It's fine with their high prices. The key point is that the price of the goods is only 20% of the previous price. The old man has been in the medicinal material business for [-] years in the Fire Bone Cave, and I have met several people from Xiushui County. None of the heroes of the Jianghu is as overbearing and ruthless as the eldest son of the Long family, leaving no room for trouble."

Inner City Long Family?

Chu Xisheng frowned, thinking that this is really a coincidence, why did he bump into the Long family again?
At this moment, he was vigilant, and he glanced at a customer wearing a gray short shirt not far away.

Judging by his appearance, he looks like a herb picker.

Chu Xisheng saw a tattoo in the shape of a wild wolf under his rolled-up sleeves, and there was a word 'Long' on the wolf's head.

This person seemed to be browsing various medicinal materials, but he was always looking at him stealthily.

Chu Xisheng pondered for a while, then grabbed Lu Luanli's arm and walked out.

"You don't have enough money?" Lu Luanli walked outside the store, crossed his arms and looked at him with a smile: "How much is there? I can lend it to you, but the interest is five hundred yuan a day."

Chu Xisheng thought to himself that he would only buy the 220 taels of yangyangcao if he was stupid.

If he had the money, he might as well buy the finished product of the secret medicine from the martial arts gym, it would be easier and less troublesome.

He turned his head and gave Lu Luanli a look: "Pay attention to your surroundings, we are being watched."

Lu Luanli's face froze, he glanced around, and found that there were indeed a few people sneaking around and peeking in this direction.

Chu Xisheng turned around and walked into an empty alley. He put a rainproof cloak on his body with lightning speed.

When Chu Xisheng came out of the alley, his image had changed.

He was inconspicuous in the crowd, fish and dragons were mixed in the Firebone Cave, and there were many people hiding their heads and showing their tails on the streets, so it was not surprising to wear a cloak on a hot day.

Lu Luanli came here without a change of clothes, but she took out a talisman and pasted it on her clothes, and the purple gauze skirt on her body turned into a yellow gauze skirt.

The two walked all the way to the exit of the market town, but when Chu Xi saw the situation at the intersection, she couldn't help frowning.

At the intersection of the street, there were already more than a dozen burly men guarding the roadside, all armed with swords, watching the passers-by with sharp eyes.

Chu Xisheng pondered for a while, then turned to Lu Luanli and asked, "Master Bodyguard, you are a majestic seventh-rank master, it should be easy to deal with these people?"

Lu Luanli was stunned for a moment before realizing that the 'bodyguard' Chu Xisheng was referring to was himself.

"It's easy." She shook her head, showing resistance in her eyes: "But if I do it in public, I will expose my identity, which is not worth it."

Chu Xisheng couldn't help but "tsk", thinking that it was the same as whether there was a bodyguard or not.

He had to go back the same way and tried to go another way, but the other street was also blocked.

Chu Xisheng didn't try again, instead he walked towards the deepest part of the market town.

On the way, he found three more people following him. Obviously, the strategy of changing clothes had failed, and they were being targeted again.

Chu Xisheng's mood was slightly cold, and at the same time, anger grew.

It is not enough to come to the library once, and a second time is needed. Does the Long family in the inner city have to kill him before they give up?
At this moment, Chu Xisheng's expression suddenly changed slightly, and he found that the phantom screen in his vision was abnormal.

In the column of his status, behind the 'Six Yin Resurrection Curse', there is the word 'Jiazi'.

When Chu Xisheng stared at these two words, there was an extra piece of information in his mind.

A good deed must be repaid, and a grievance must be repaid——You sense the enemy's malice, and you must want to retaliate, arousing the intention of the knife, and you can have a mental shock when you use the knife.

A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye!The power of mental shock depends on the number of enemies and the intensity of their maliciousness.The more enemies there are, the greater the malice, and the stronger your sword intent will be.

Chu Xisheng couldn't help raising his eyebrows, his eyes showing surprise.

At this moment, Lu Luanli asked in a puzzled way: "Where do you want to go? This place is almost at the entrance of the cave."

The center of this market town is the entrance of Fire Bone Cave.

What gave her a headache was that there were more than [-] people following behind them.

Lu Luanli's face turned bitter. At this point, she had to do it if she didn't want to.

You can't watch Chu Xisheng being beaten to death by the Long family.

"It is to enter the Fire Bone Cave."

Chu Xi said expressionlessly: "This is called doing the opposite. They won't let us go out, so we'll go in. After entering the Fire Bones Cave, you should have no scruples?"

Lu Luanli's eyes lit up, thinking that this is indeed a good way.

The environment inside the cave is dark and dark, making it hard to see.As long as she is careful when she strikes, no one can tell what happened.

And there are more than one entrances and exits to the Fire Bone Cave.

Humans and giant gods are related by blood and belong to the same race.Humans have nine orifices, and giant gods also have nine orifices.

There are a total of nine entrances and exits. How many people will the Long family need to block them?

"You're quite clever."

Just when she was praising, the two had already walked into the center of the market town, the huge cave entrance.

Chu Xisheng paid extra attention to the terrain here, and found that the shape of the cave entrance really resembles a human mouth. There are two rows of sharp stone pillars above and below the cave entrance, which look like human teeth.

However, if this Fire Bone Cave was really formed from the bones of a giant god, then its huge body would be shocking. It might be more than 30 miles long, which is equivalent to the area of ​​a modern fourth-tier city.

——This is the ancient giant, the ancestor of mankind in this world.

Just as the two of them were walking deeper, Chu Xi saw five men in leather armor coming to meet him.

He saw that these people also had tattoos of wild wolves under their rolled up cuffs.

"stop!"

The leader was short and stocky, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his eyes were fierce: "I don't know if you are allowed to leave or not to enter the Fire Bone Cave these days? Where did you come from? Take off the cloak!"

Instead of taking off his cloak, Chu Xisheng quickened his pace.

It only took him two steps to close the distance between the two sides to within six feet, and the Bailian light steel knife on his waist was unsheathed with a 'choke' sound at the same time.

"you wanna die!"

The thick eyebrows of the short and stout man frowned, his expression ferocious.

He drew his sword out of its sheath almost at the same time as Chu Xisheng, but surprise appeared in this person's eyes immediately.

Chu Xisheng's knife speed is much faster than he imagined, at least faster than him!
What surprised the man even more was that as the sword light from the opposite side rushed towards him, his mind seemed to be hit hard by a hammer, making his consciousness dizzy for a while.

The Yanling knife in the short and strong man's hand also slowed down a beat.

The next moment, he felt a pain in his throat, and as a large amount of blood gushed out, all the strength in his body left him.

After Chu Xisheng's Bailian light steel knife wiped this person's throat, he sprinted forward in a simple and neat way. Taking advantage of the length of the blade, the knife pierced the other person's throat.

The headed short and strong man was probably at the ninth rank, and the people behind him were much weaker, only equivalent to the hands of the Sitong Escort.

When Chu Xisheng used the knife, he was not sloppy, decisive, and ruthless.

The twenty or so soldiers of the Long family behind have rushed over.

At this moment, as long as he hesitated for a moment, he would be blocked by these people at the entrance of the cave.

After killing two people in a row, his speed increased instead of slowing down.

Chu Xisheng clearly saw the fear in the eyes of the three people in front of him, but he used his steps expressionlessly to avoid the long sword stabbing straight ahead, and at the same time swung the knife diagonally.

Just as he passed by another person, the person suddenly let out a muffled groan, and blood sprayed from his chest.

Chu Xisheng's knife pierced through his abdomen and directly into his heart.

After solving this person, Chu Xisheng's pace did not stop at all, and he continued to charge forward with an invincible momentum.

The two people in front of him showed fear in their eyes, and subconsciously took two steps back.

This retreat gave way to the two of them, and Chu Xisheng and Lu Luanli rushed into the depths of the cave one after the other.
