Chapter 48 Medicine Valley
"stop?"

"Why should I stop?"

As he spoke, the bowstring of the Kaiyuan bow in Chen Sanshi's hand was already equipped with a wolf-tooth arrow.

"You are such a murderous person!"

The martial arts school disciples looked at each other in bewilderment and took several steps back involuntarily: "We didn't hurt you, why did you come up and shoot me?!"

"Yes."

Someone accused: "We asked you to stop because the front is private property!"

"Private territory?"

Chen Sanshi was skeptical.

The martial arts school disciple continued, "The valley ahead is the medicinal garden of our Tianyuan martial arts school. Isn't it a private territory?"

The medicine garden of Tianyuan Martial Arts School?

Chen Sanshi had heard from Doctor Jiang before that a lot of nearby land suitable for growing medicinal herbs had been sold to martial arts schools. It seemed that he had stumbled upon it by accident.

Tianyuan Martial Arts School, which is the territory of the Liang family.

Tianyuan Martial Arts School doesn’t do much business in medicinal materials, but that doesn’t mean his family doesn’t have its own medicine garden.

What a huge valley.

Mr. Liang is twenty-five or twenty-six years old and is able to strengthen his bones. He must have taken a lot of medicinal herbs.

"What's the commotion?"

"Master!"

A young man in brocade clothes holding a folding fan came over, and the disciples made way for him.

It was the eldest master of Tianyuan Martial Arts School, Liang Zhan.

"Master!"

The disciple complained: "A guard came and we didn't do anything to him, but he came up and shot us with arrows. He was so arrogant!"

"Hey, Brother Chen?"

When Liang Zhan saw the man coming, he shouted at his men, "How dare you, my brothers, stop me? You deserve to be shot to death!"

"Master, it's him..."

"Snapped!"

Liang Zhan hit his disciple on the head with his fan: "Back off!"

"Yes!"

The martial arts school disciples retreated one after another.

"Brother Chen, you are fine."

Liang Zhan clasped his fists and said, "I was the one who offended you last time. I would like to apologize."

"No need."

Chen Sanshi was too lazy to argue with this man, so he put away his bow and arrow and left.

Kill, you can't kill this guy for now.

The other party didn't dare to touch him easily, so there was no need to waste time here.

"..."

Liang Zhan did not stop him and just watched him walk away quietly.

"Master!"

The disciple stepped forward and asked, "Just let him go like this?"

"nonsense!"

Liang Zhan cursed, "If you provoke him, aren't you afraid that he will attract the officers and soldiers from the garrison? Be more thoughtful in the future. You still need me to smooth things over for you. Anyway, why did he come to the Medicine Valley?"

The disciple guessed, "Recently, people all over the mountains are looking for the white deer."

"Looking for the white deer?"

Liang Zhan waved his fan and said, "I remember that we need Baozhi to find Bai Lu. Is there any hundred-year-old Baozhi in our medicine valley? If there is, pick one and send it to him later."

"Master?!"

The disciple was surprised and said, "A hundred-year-old Baozhi is worth dozens of taels of silver."

“I’ll give it to you if I ask you to!”

Liang Zhan turned and walked into the valley.

The news that Chen Sanshi had made some progress in blood training after practicing martial arts for more than a month had already spread throughout the military camp.

He would think twice before doing anything in his life. The only thing he regretted was offending this person in order to help Qin Feng.

But the question is, who the hell would have thought that a poor hunter from the countryside would be a martial arts genius?
The most terrifying thing is that this guy holds a grudge!

In addition, he came to my house and questioned me in a coercive manner, which made the grudge between them very strong.

Liang Zhan felt a chill down his spine when he thought that Qin Feng’s body had not been found yet.

Kill him directly?

I'm not tired of living yet.

Not to mention that Fatty Wang is protecting him.

Xiang Tingchun also needed people.

If he dares to touch Chen Sanshi, Xiang Tingchun will force him to the grassland to die as a vanguard next year!

Now I am afraid that as time goes by, that kid’s cultivation level will soar and reach a completely unshakable level.

In comparison, if the grudge can be resolved in advance, what does spending some money matter?
Even if it cannot be solved, now is not the time to turn against him. We need the right opportunity to take action against him.

……

"What is that Liang doing hiding in the deep mountains and forests?" "Whether it's picking herbs or planting, there's no need for the young master to come in person. He has so many people with him, and they won't let anyone get close to him even if they're two miles away."

"etc……

"Could the disappearance of the hunters in the mountains be related to them?"

A terrible guess suddenly arose in Chen Sanshi's mind.

But the logic doesn't make sense.

Why would a martial arts school kill people when they have nothing to do?
"I'm overthinking it."

Chen Sanshi refocused on searching for the white deer.

Unfortunately, until the afternoon, there was still no gain.

“It seems that we still have to use Baozhi as bait.

"Let's get something else to exchange for some silver first!"

Exotic animals are hard to find, but there are many ferocious beasts.

In a dense forest, Chen Sanshi found the paw prints of a large cat on the ground.

"Rust—"

As soon as he stepped into the territory, he heard light jumping sounds coming from above his head, approaching rapidly from the east, south, west and north.

In the dim jungle, spots of faint green light appeared.

Those are the cheetah's pupils!
Five cheetahs stood on the treetops, looking down at the invaders on the ground from a distance.

"Ow—"

They attacked at the same time, forming a double team and rushing towards the hunter in the middle at an incredibly fast speed.

Cheetahs are born fast.

For them, a distance of forty or fifty feet only takes four or five seconds.

For ordinary hunters, such a short period of time is only enough to shoot one or two arrows.

The target is still a high-speed moving target, so it is not necessarily possible to hit it. Once it is bitten at close range, you can either win in hand-to-hand combat or become a meal for the beast.

on the ground.

Chen Sanshi took a deep breath.

Then, the bow and string were shocked like thunder!
"咻咻咻咻——"

He turned into a hunting machine, shooting arrows continuously in different directions, and each arrow pierced the target's heart with incredible precision.

In just over three seconds, the four cheetahs fell to the ground.

Only a cheetah from the back was able to approach because of the trees. It jumped up from the tree, showing its sword-like claws, but was pierced by a cold light and was suspended in the air forever.

Chen Sanshi's reed spear had been waiting for a long time.

Simple, just hunt a leopard.

【Searching for the missing trace (minor achievement)】

【Progress: 105/1000】

……

[Skill: Archery (Minor Achievement)]

[Progress: (190/1000)]

Of the five leopards, the most valuable parts were kept for personal use, and the rest could be sold for thirty or forty taels of silver.

Together with the money saved at home, they managed to scrape together enough money to buy Baozhi.

Chen Sanshi put all the leopards into the rope net he brought with him, then carried it on his back and returned the same way.

By the creek.

Zhao Qiao and his companions had been waiting there since early morning.

Their income was dismal, with only a few pheasants and rabbits.

They are no longer surprised by teenagers killing cheetahs.

"Are you in any danger?"

Chen Sanshi asked.

"No."

Zhao Qiao shook his head: "The three of us walked together as a group, so we didn't encounter any danger."

"Uncle Zhao, the villagers are missing, it's not just the hunters who went up the mountain, right?" Chen Sanshi asked.

"That's not it."

Wu Da interjected, “Many people were still at home the night before, and disappeared the next morning.

"Not only in the countryside, but also in the county town, people have gone missing, but the number is not as large as in the countryside."

'Am I really overthinking it?'

After looking in the direction of the Medicine Valley, Chen Sanshi did not stay any longer and went down the mountain with a few others, thinking secretly in his mind.

'There must be something secretive about this matter.'

"It's definitely not just the bloodlust of the Wushen Cult that can explain it."

He thought of lamp oil that could ignite a red flame.

Could it have something to do with lamp oil?
After all, everything started when the fairy treasure appeared in Poyang.

Before this, Poyang County was a deserted place, so how could there be so much trouble?

Even if the possibility of the two being related is slim, Chen Sanshi will try to check it out.

It is also a distressing thing to have a magic treasure in hand but not know how to use it.
