Chapter 34 Heartache
Zhong Lin didn't know what the effect of the pill was, but one of its effects had already appeared.

Heartache.

Zhong Lin hadn't felt the pain of paying money for a long time.

The bone-strengthening pills were not needed at the moment, so Zhong Lin bought five blood-replenishing pills, which cost fifty taels of silver.

Even though Zhong Lin earned a lot from painting, his daily expenses were also high! Whether it was the meat for the two brothers' daily meals or the Eight Treasures Blood-Nourishing Soup they had bought for their training, these 50 taels of silver nearly bankrupted him completely.

If the doctor at the clinic hadn't pointed the way, and Zhong Lin hadn't trusted him, he wouldn't have bought it at all.

He carefully put the bottle of blood-replenishing pill into his arms, fearing that it would be bumped or scratched.

Zhong Lin's mind moved, and he asked in a low voice: "Will you sell the pill formula?"

The owner of the ghost mask looked at Zhong Lin silently, and finally uttered two words.

"hehe!"

"..."

Farewell.

All the money was spent, and there was no need to stay in this black market any longer, so after walking around, he turned around and left.

When leaving the black market, the bearded man suddenly said, "Once you leave the black market, we are not responsible for your safety."

Zhong Lin paused, whispered a thank you, and left quickly.

……

"Someone really followed us."

Zhong Lin glanced back and vaguely saw a dark shadow swaying in the jungle behind him.

Old Zhou had already stressed to him the dangers of the black market many times, and even strongly advised him not to go. When leaving the black market, the bearded man had reminded him intentionally or unintentionally. So how could Zhong Lin not care?
He still underestimated the danger of the black market. No matter how he tried to hide, he was still caught up.

"bring it on!"

A murderous look flashed across Zhong Lin's face, and he pretended to be in a panic and quickened his pace.

"Want to run? Stop him."

The jungle behind him shook, and then three figures suddenly rushed out.

The leader was a man with triangular eyes and a big nose, with a ghost-head knife slung around his waist.

Behind him were two strong men on each side. From the cruel expressions on their faces, it could be seen that they were not easy to deal with.

When they passed a corner, the three of them suddenly discovered that Zhong Lin in front of them had disappeared.

call out!
Just as he was wondering, a sharp sound of breaking through the air came from a distance.

The triangular-eyed man's face changed drastically, and he suddenly lunged forward, shouting, "Get down!"

Unfortunately, he was still a step too late. The strong man on his left side only felt a cold light coming towards him, as fast as lightning, and then he felt a heat in his chest.

I subconsciously looked down and saw a feather tail on his chest still trembling.

"What a fast arrow."

After saying this, he died and fell to the ground with a thud.

"The third child."

The man with triangular eyes roared with anger.

After acquiring the bow, Zhong Lin changed to a more powerful iron-framed bow. This is a bow with iron bars embedded in the back of the bow, which increases the range and power, and can easily shoot people through.

call out!
Another sound of breaking through the air was heard, and as soon as the sound sounded, the remaining two people were scared and rolled over. One hid behind a huge rock and the other hid behind a tree.

With a scream, the strong man hiding behind the tree was still hit in the thigh by his arrow. He screamed and fell to the ground. "Boss, this arrow can bend..."

Before he could finish his words, his head, which was exposed due to the fall, was pierced by an arrow that was shot out from nowhere.

Max level archery: Curved shot
In modern society, bullets from firearms are fired in a parabolic trajectory, not to mention bows and arrows which have even less power. As long as you master certain techniques, you can make the arrow turn.

The man with the triangular eyes was in a state of panic when he saw his two brothers die in front of him without even seeing them. He shouted angrily, "Come out, come out, you coward! If you have the guts, come out and fight me in single combat! Come out!"

Squeak!

When Zhong Lin heard the roar of the triangular-eyed man, he actually walked out from the darkness and threw the bow and arrow in his hand aside.

"I `m coming out."

Seeing that Zhong Lin really came out and threw away his bow, the man with triangular eyes was ecstatic. He picked up the ghost-head knife in his hand and ran towards Zhong Lin, slashing the air with the force of splitting Mount Hua.

Zhong Lin did not retreat but advanced, and dodged the ghost-head knife by turning his body to the side. At the same time, he kicked with such force and power that it pierced the man's heart with a sound of breaking power.

"not good."

The man with the triangular eyes was shocked and pressed his legs down, taking advantage of the situation to do a horse stance. The ghost-head knife in his hand turned and slashed horizontally, heading straight for Zhong Lin's waist.

boom!
Zhong Lin kicked the triangular-eyed man in the chest, but the force turned into clever force. With the help of the rebound force, he took several steps back and avoided the man's blade.

"As expected, he has practiced martial arts and has much more combat experience than me. As I expected, he is an ordinary person."

The reason why Zhong Lin didn't shoot this man was that he wanted to use him as a sparring partner to hone his martial arts skills.

When Zhong Lin shot the first arrow and the first person under the triangle fell down, he had already confirmed that this was an ordinary person, at least not a martial arts master.

A true warrior of the highest rank would have a body as armored as armor and skin as white as cowhide. He would not be afraid of arrows at all. Normally, when facing arrows, he would only cover his eyes, and would not just lie down like him.

This is also the reason why Zhong Lin did not shoot him to death. If he was a martial artist of the lower rank, he would not fight with him at all and would just kite him to death.

The triangular-eyed man opposite felt a tightness in his chest and was shocked: "What a great strength! It's a pity that he is such a fool that he actually threw away his bow and arrow."

It's not like he hasn't seen people who are stronger than him. He is confident that he can defeat the opponent with his ruthlessness and rich fighting experience.

"kill!"

The man with triangular eyes did not stop, but raised the ghost-head knife in his hand and rushed towards Zhong Lin again, with extreme ferocity, like a tiger out of a cage.

Zhong Lin was not to be outdone. He moved and the two of them approached each other in an instant.

The ghost-head knife chopped down diagonally with great force, blocking Zhong Lin's route of movement, leaving him nowhere to escape.

Zhong Lin paused, took a step forward, and dodged the blade in an instant like willow catkins, and even got directly close to the man with triangular eyes.

"how is this possible?"

Although his heart was full of disbelief, his left hand touched his waist, and then a dagger appeared and slashed across Zhong Lin's belly like a swallow floating on the water.

Stab it!

The dagger cut through Zhong Ming's clothes and slashed his skin, but the next moment the sound coming from his skin made the triangular-eyed man look terrified.

"Skin like cowhide, a mid-level warrior."

laugh!
Zhong Lin raised his arm, and a short blade suddenly appeared in his empty right hand, which lightly scratched the neck of the triangular-eyed man.

Blood sprayed like snowflakes, the man with triangular eyes covered his neck, his body softened, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

The battle is over.

Zhong Lin looked down at the clothes that had been cut open on his abdomen, leaving only a red mark on the exposed skin.

"An ordinary person who has not yet entered the realm of rank can force me to this point. It turned out that killing Chi Yan that day was just a fluke!" Zhong Lin sighed in his heart.
