I'm seventy years old this year, and you want me to have many children and much happiness?

The weapon in Chu Yuanxiu's hand was a long sword.

He unleashed a sharp blade of light from a distance, launching the first attack.

"boom!"

A sharp blade of light flashed and burst forth.

The giant antlered deer suddenly used its antlers to shatter the blade's edge.

The true energy of a second-rank martial artist, combined with the blade light unleashed by his weapon, was easily shattered.

The others gasped in shock at the sight.

Another second-rank martial artist from the Chu family also made his move at this moment, transforming his true energy into a ball of raging fire and blasting it toward the head of the giant antler deer.

With a loud bang, a ball of flame exploded.

The giant elk's body spun rapidly at this moment, blowing up the surrounding vegetation and creating a vacuum zone.

"boom!"

A powerful shockwave rushed toward the group.

Lu Xuan cried out first, as he was blown away.

Then he fell to the ground.

Everyone is working so hard, he should be fine if he lies down a little.

Most importantly, it seems that everyone is now focused on surrounding the giant antlered deer, rather than paying attention to him.

Although Wang Liang was arrogant, he was quite skilled in combat. The fluctuations in the light from his fists caused several injuries to the giant antlered deer.

Several figures were fighting around the giant antlered deer.

At this moment, Chu Xiao also seized the opportunity and quietly slipped away from the side, bypassing the strange beast that everyone was fighting.

Lu Xuan watched the battle from the sidelines, while also keeping an eye on his surroundings for any other dangers.

Although Chu Yuanxiu and his group were not weak.

However, their goal was not to capture the giant elk, so they simply surrounded it and trapped it.

This giant elk is indeed very powerful in combat.

They withstood the attacks of these people head-on.

Suddenly.

The giant elk seemed to sense something, and its movements suddenly became agitated, while it also let out a series of roars.

The giant horn suddenly thrust forward.

The giant antler deer charged towards Wang Liang, who cried out in surprise and dodged to the side. Coincidentally, Lin Qiao was in the direction Wang Liang was dodging, which attracted the giant antler deer's attack.

The giant antlered deer was about to knock Lin Qiao away.

Suddenly, the giant elk's paws seemed to slip into thin air, and after losing its strength, it crashed into the ground.

Seizing the opportunity, Lin Haichao immediately stepped forward, grabbed Lin Qiao, and kicked her on the head of the giant antlered deer, lifting her into the air and preventing her from suffering the horrific fate of having her lower body broken.

Lin Qiao was also so frightened that she was covered in sweat.

She was clearly in a hopeless situation just now, but then the strange beast slipped and fell unexpectedly?

This strange beast can slip on its feet?

This is simply unheard of.

However, the enraged giant antlered deer was now attacking in all directions, and everyone had to dodge it.

Just then, Chu Xiao's figure flew out from a distance.

"We succeeded!"

Upon seeing this, Chu Yuanxiu immediately called for everyone to evacuate.

"Everyone, evacuate!"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately withdrew.

Lu Xuan also fled into the distance immediately.

Everyone quickly evacuated.

When everyone arrived at a safe area.

Lin Haichao angrily pointed his sword at Wang Liang.

"You beast! You actually used a child as a shield!"

The anger in his eyes almost consumed Wang Liang.

However, Wang Liang just sneered.

"How can you blame me? If you're not skilled enough, go back and practice for a couple more years before coming out again."

He did not pay any attention to Lin Haichao's accusations.

How can you say that he's the one who got this kind of thing?

Even if he did it on purpose, it's because you, Lin Qiao, are not capable enough.

"Oh? Then I'll see just how capable you are!"

Lin Haichao's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

The other people from Black Tiger County also quickly stepped forward and stood beside Wang Liang, seemingly to confront Lin Haichao.

After all, we all come from the same place, so it's natural to help each other out in times like these.

With the support of several people,

Wang Liang's expression clearly showed even more smugness.

Black Tiger County's strength was no less than that of Wuling County.

If a fight really breaks out, we're not afraid at all.

Lu Xuan stood to the side.

I didn't step in and interfere in this situation.

He's too old for him to get involved in this kind of thing; it's completely unnecessary for him.

Fortunately, just as Lin Haichao was about to make a move against him...

Chu Yuanxiu stepped forward and said.

"That's enough!"

"Now is not the time for you to compete."

At the same time, he looked sharply at the two of them.

Everyone is now scrambling to compete for those places that have been marked as having a high probability of containing rare and precious treasures. If they get bogged down in internal strife at this point, it will inevitably affect their progress.

The Chu family would absolutely not allow such a thing to happen.

"Dad, never mind, I'll be careful."

Lin Qiao stepped forward to persuade Lin Haichao.

Even though Lin Haichao was filled with rage, he had to put it aside for the time being.

This debt has been recorded.

Wang Liang, however, seemed completely unconcerned.

If a fight really breaks out, he might not be afraid of you.

As for Lu Xuan...

Nobody cared about him at all.

An old, useless man like him was already an eyesore in the group.

Of course, keeping quiet at this time is also a very good choice.

At least they won't have to lift a finger, and they'll still have to deal with you while they're at it.

Chu Yuanxiu and Chu Xiao exchanged a glance.

It seems they exchanged some information.

The group then continued forward.

Lu Xuan looked at Lin Haichao.

Although Lin Haichao was trying his best, it was clear that his foot seemed to be injured.

Hey.

This blessed land was indeed fraught with danger.

A top martial arts master in a county town.

In places like this, they'd just be cannon fodder, albeit stronger ones.

Next, Chu Yuanxiu led his group to seize three more marked locations of rare and precious materials, using the same method.

After going through battle after battle, everyone was quite exhausted. For example, Lin Haichao's injuries had worsened after several attacks, and his leg was now limping.

Chu Yuanxiu and the others also suffered considerable losses.

But everyone also gained a lot.

"There is a safe place ahead."

"We'll rest for an hour in the woods ahead."

Chu Xiao looked at the map in his hand and addressed the crowd.

The safety mentioned here refers to areas where the strange beasts have not been marked. As for true safety control, that depends on your own abilities. You must never let your guard down.

"Finally, I can rest."

Although he knew this trip wouldn't be easy, Lin Haichao hadn't expected it to be so intense and dangerous. He regretted not sending his daughter; he could have come alone.

I originally intended to bring my daughter here for some training, but I never expected it to be so dangerous.

"Master Lin, these are some herbs I picked earlier. They should be good for your foot injury after you take them."

When everyone arrived at their resting place.

Lu Xuan also casually tossed a medicinal herb to Lin Haichao.

This can be considered as repaying the favor of that wooden staff.

The reason why the giant antlered deer fell down in the first place was naturally because Lu Xuan intervened; otherwise, Lin Qiao would have already turned into a pile of minced meat.

Lu Xuan was quite fond of Lin Qiao.

Young people, it's normal for them to get into trouble sometimes.

Most importantly, have a positive and benevolent heart.

Moreover, rescuing people was just a casual matter for Lu Xuan.

Lin Haichao accepted the herb that Lu Xuan threw to him. He didn't recognize the herb, but he had noticed it on the way earlier, so Lu Xuan seemed to be someone extraordinary.

By now, almost everyone has been injured.

Even Chu Yuanxiu's shoulder was scratched by the strange beast.

But Lu Xuan was completely unharmed.

Although it looked tiring, I didn't miss a single step.

One or two times could be a coincidence, but getting to this point is definitely not just luck.

Lin Haichao gradually began to take Lu Xuan more seriously.

"Thank you, sir."

Lin Haichao accepted the herbs.

He had just seen Lu Xuan pick these herbs himself.

I never expected that I would use it to heal my wounds.

Not only that, Lu Xuan also picked a lot of medicinal herbs along the way. However, to ordinary people, these herbs were completely unrecognizable and would only be regarded as weeds.

"Is the old gentleman an alchemist?"

"I just enjoy doing some research on medicinal herbs in my spare time."

A glint of light shone in Lin Qiao's dark eyes, clearly showing her great admiration for Lu Xuan's identity as an alchemist.

"That's really impressive."

Lin Qiao sincerely praised.

Lin Haichao chewed the medicinal herbs thoroughly and swallowed them whole.

This medicinal herb is quite bitter when ingested.

Lin Haichao's entire face was contorted into a rather ugly shape, a sight that made Lin Qiao extremely gloating.

Lu Xuan secretly chuckled to himself.

Several medicinal herbs can slightly improve Lin Haichao's foot injury.

But Lu Xuan chose the most bitter one for him.

Lu Xuan just realized that this place is truly a treasure trove.

Although some medicinal herbs do not reach the level of spiritual medicine, their medicinal properties are still very good, making them extremely precious.

It is only in places like this, where no one goes all year round, that such herbs can grow. If they were in some medicinal mountains outside, they would probably have been picked clean long ago, and there would be no such good ecological environment.

While everyone was resting.

Chu Xiao also came to Lu Xuan's side.

He inquired about Lu Xuan's condition and then pulled Lu Xuan aside.

"Old Lu, you must have already realized that Wang Liang is likely a spy sent in by someone."

"I'd like to ask Mr. Lu to keep an eye on things. If anyone is following us, please let me know."

Chu Xiao said in a low voice.

"Oh? Okay, I'll be careful."

Lu Xuan glanced at Chu Xiao in surprise; it turned out these people weren't stupid after all.

And judging from Chu Xiao's expression, it seems he wants to lure people in.

Then they'll catch them all in one fell swoop.

So confident?

Since Chu Xiao had already said so, Lu Xuan couldn't refuse. He would keep an eye on things for her later.

In reality, it wasn't really necessary for Lu Xuan to keep an eye on them.

Chu Xiao's actions implied that she had already considered Lu Xuan as one of her own.

Even such a secret arrangement was told to Lu Xuan.

"Thank you, Mr. Lu."

Chu Xiao bowed slightly to Lu Xuan.

The little girl was exhausted after a long day.

After all, the task of venturing into those dangerous places to retrieve rare and precious materials was also entrusted to Chu Xiao.

Only Chu Xiao himself knows what kind of situation he encountered inside.

After resting for an hour.

The group then prepared to continue their journey.

Before long, the group arrived at the next gathering point.

This time, there are two strange beasts ahead.

Chu Yuanxiu was arranging tactics and was just about to give the order to attack.

But suddenly, Lu Xuan's ears twitched, and he heard what sounded like someone chasing him from hundreds of feet away.

So people are already chasing us?

"Ouch."

Lu Xuan clutched his stomach and cried out.

All eyes turned to Lu Xuan.

"What's wrong, old man? What's wrong with you at a time like this?"

"You're the culprit who affected the fighter jets!"

Upon seeing this, Wang Liang frowned and kept glancing into the distance, clearly worried about missing the opportunity.
