Chapter 106, Falling out

In November, because those people with connections went to the north of the city to step on the landmine last month... the medicinal fields outside the city occupied by Zhuang Jin and Miao Lun were vacant, and their applications were indeed considered and they were not transferred, so they were able to continue to stay in the medicinal fields outside the city.

This month, in the north of the city, it was heard that the Shen family also mobilized some of the six branches in the south of the city to retaliate, but this had nothing to do with the affairs of the medicinal fields outside the city, so they could just sit back and watch the situation.

Seven or eight days passed quickly, and it was the eighth day of November.

That morning, Zhuang Jin was practicing martial arts when he suddenly heard a commotion coming from the medicine field and immediately stopped to look.

A strange black goat, with a faint black light on its body, was extremely fast. Wherever it passed, people and horses fell to the ground. It kept lowering its head to nibble on the lotus grass. When the team of warriors under it chased it, it jumped away and went to the other side to eat.

"Another exotic beast at the perfect level of skin smoothing? What good luck!" Zhuang Jin was not surprised but happy when he saw this scene.

In the medicinal fields here, a certain amount of exotic beast meat is handed over every month, and a certain amount of loss is allowed. As long as this black goat leaves its body behind, what does the little lotus grass it eats matter?
"Brother Zhuang, let's block it!" Miao Lun shouted excitedly.

Although he did not receive any distress signal, Zhuang Jin often asked him to look after this place during these days. When he heard the noise, he came over subconsciously and rushed over at this time.

Zhuang Jin sighed inwardly when he saw this scene. Today was different from last month when he met the Iron Pig. He had already broken through the Seven Classics. With Miao Lun here, it would be difficult for him to give full play to his abilities.

People like Lin Hong, Bi Kai and others might not be able to notice if they acted a little bit out of line in front of these people, but if he dared to use all his strength in front of Miao Lun, the master of the Six Classics, he would definitely be discovered.

"Bah!"

When the black goat saw Miao Lun coming, it called out calmly, swallowed a lotus grass in its mouth, then picked up two more, turned around and jumped lightly, broke through the rope net, jumped over the fence and went out.

Even with the speed of Miao Lun, a Six Classics warrior, it was still a long way behind. Compared with the iron pig with thick skin and flesh last month, this black goat was obviously better at speed.

"Brother Zhuang, I will drive it to the nearby valley, and you go around to intercept it!" Miao Lun said as he hurriedly chased after the black goat when he saw it acting so rampantly.

Zhuang Jin naturally knew the place Miao Lun was talking about. The terrain was indeed suitable and the distance was not far. He would be able to get back soon. He gave instructions to Lin Hong and others and left quickly.

……

About a mile away from the medicinal field.

The black goat and Miao Lun flew past quickly. The speed of the goat and the man was so fast that the grass suddenly turned low wherever they passed, and the sound of whistling wind could be heard.

"Evil beast, where are you running to?!"

Miao Lun was dragged along by the black goat all the way, and was struggling left and right. Finally, he approached the so-called valley, but the goat refused to go in. Instead, he drove him away and took him around in circles at the entrance of the valley.

Just when he was exhausted and almost gave up, the black goat seemed to be curious, and walked in slowly and leisurely.

"You beast, let's see how you die this time!" Miao Lun's face showed joy. The terrain in the valley greatly limited the speed advantage of the black goat. Now the situation has changed and it is his turn!
However, as he chased in, thinking this, he was stunned to see...

"Mee! Mee!"

The black goat was in no hurry. He swallowed the two lotus grasses that he had packed and took away. He turned his head and called out twice, as if mocking someone. Then he jumped up with all four hooves and rose from the ground. The whole goat walked on the almost ninety-degree cliff as if it were flat ground.

Miao Lun was so angry that his teeth were itching as he watched helplessly as the creature was about to break away from the valley and escape.

"Here!" Zhuang Jin's figure suddenly appeared above and slapped down with a palm.

boom!
The black goat was knocked down immediately, rolled over and fell back into the valley.

"Brother Zhuang, well done!" Miao Lun didn't wait for the black goat to flip over, he went up and used a series of moves to take care of it.

When Zhuang Jin came down, he saw Miao Lun using a dagger to cut open the black goat's abdomen, and knew that he was looking for animal treasure.

Originally, he had no hope for this kind of low-probability event, but he didn't expect...

"Hmm?!" Miao Lun fumbled around in the black goat's stomach. Suddenly, he paused and pulled out a hard object. "Is this... a treasure from a perfect-level skin-polishing beast?! Really?"

As mentioned before, if the animal treasures of exotic beasts at the perfect level of skin polishing are refined into Shuluo Pills, the efficacy of the medicine can be increased by 30% to 40%, and it will be effective for bottlenecks from the sixth to the seventh meridian. If you hand it in, you will definitely be able to get one.

What is this? It is simply the hope of breaking through the Seven Classics!
As for Qi Jing, he was at the guard level. At this point, he had stepped into the upper echelons of the Shen family, which could be said to be a reversal of fate.

"Seven Classics! Break through the Seven Classics! This will give me a chance to catch up with and surpass my brother..."

Miao Lun's eyes were burning with passion, he stared at the beast treasure in fascination, unable to turn his eyes away, his wrists trembling: "Brother Zhuang, look, it's real, it's a beast treasure, it's real!"

"Oh?" Zhuang Jin looked surprised and came over to take a look. The beast treasure was brown all over and gave off a faint fishy fragrance, which made people want to swallow it as soon as they smelled it.

Miao Lun looked at Zhuang Jin approaching and was attracted by the beast treasure. At this moment, his extremely strong desire for the Seven Classics made him suddenly have an idea in his mind. He secretly mobilized his internal energy to gather strength, clenched and opened the hand behind his back, and finally, a ferocious look flashed on his face, and he slapped Zhuang Jin's chest with a swift palm.

Swish!
This palm strike was so fast and fierce, it caught people off guard, and it happened at such a close distance that any martial artist who practiced the Six Classics would not be able to dodge it.

Zhuang Jin's attention was focused on the beast treasure, and he didn't expect Miao Lun to suddenly attack. However, he was a Seventh Sutra master after all, so his reaction was faster and he was quicker, so he instinctively raised his palm.

Miao Lun saw that this was a palm strike that the Six Classics could not avoid at all. Zhuang Jin's hair left an afterimage and the two palms met.

boom!
Miao Lun only felt an overwhelming force transmitted from his palms into his body, and suddenly, he flew backwards like a kite with a broken string.

At this moment, Zhuang Jin finally reacted and looked at Miao Lun in surprise, subconsciously asking, "Why?"

The moment he asked this question, he actually had the answer in his heart. It was simply because of this beast treasure of the perfect skin polishing level, the huge benefits of changing one's fate, and Miao Lun's comparison with his brother. Perhaps deep in his subconscious, there was a feeling that the favor was too great and he couldn't repay it...

All these things can only be attributed to one thing: human nature cannot stand the test.

Zhuang Jin felt a little sad. He didn't expect that Miao Lun, a kind and good man, who had saved his life, and who had recently been drinking and covering for him, and had become closer to him and was already close to his good friend, would turn against him for his own interests at this time.

"Impossible! Y-you!"

Miao Lun felt a sharp pain in his body as if it was falling apart, and his expression was even more shocked. He seemed to have thought of something, but then he forced himself to be calm, as if nothing had happened just now: "Brother Zhuang, I was possessed by a ghost just now, I, I..."

At this moment, Zhuang Jin had calmed down a bit, his expression calm and indifferent. He interrupted and asked, "What if I hadn't dodged it just now? Or, if I was seriously injured but not dead, would you let me go?"

The results speak for themselves.

If he were still at the Six Classics level, he would inevitably be killed or seriously injured, and there would be no chance of survival. If things didn't turn out as expected, it would be: after his death, Miao Lun would get the beast treasure. Ping Yongfeng, Lin Hong, Bi Kai and other close friends might become suspicious, but they would be powerless to do anything. Miao Lun's Seven Classics brother would suppress the matter out of respect, and Miao Lun would take advantage of his bloody fate and perhaps break through to the Seven Classics...

——Not to mention Zhuang Jin's extremely high potential, being the first among the externally recruited martial artists to break through the Six Classics might attract the attention and favor of some people above. A dead genius is nothing, and I'm afraid Chen Yun will be implicated...

Zhuang Jin thought about this and moved closer step by step.

"Brother Zhuang... No, Brother Zhuang, I was really possessed just now. I don't know why... I was wrong. Let's just pretend nothing happened and get along like before... We have a good relationship. Have you forgotten? We drank together and you saved me..."

Miao Pu sat on the ground, backing away bit by bit with her hands and feet, explaining, begging, and playing the emotional card. Seeing that it was all useless, she finally turned to threats under the fear of death: "Zhuang Jin, if you kill me, you will also be in big trouble. My brother is Qijing..."

Zhuang Jin looked at Miao Lun at that moment and took a deep breath. The scenes of their acquaintance flashed before his eyes: their first meeting in August, when this good-natured old man with a mustache on his upper lip and a small goatee on his chin nodded at him kindly; on August 17th, that night in a dangerous situation, he saved him, and afterward, Miao Lun came over with a generous gift, tears of gratitude; on October 1st, when Miao Lun invited him for a drink, and when he got drunk, he confided his secrets, and under the bright starlight, he sent him back; at the beginning of last month, when the Medicine King Gang mobilized the Six Classics, Miao Lun came to tell him, and they clinked glasses and discussed the current situation; on October 18th, when they joined forces to kill the iron pig, they sat and smiled at each other...

Scenes flashed through his mind, and finally stopped at the scene of Miao Lun's sneak attack just now. He looked indifferent, neither sad nor happy, and pressed down with one palm.

"Qijing, me too!" Zhuang Jin said softly, as if replying, but also as if sighing.

He knew that his plan had to change and he could no longer delay his promotion until the middle of the month. After thinking for a moment, he picked up the black goat and Miao Lun's body and rushed back.
