Chapter 65 An unexpected surprise
"I'm sorry." Half a minute later, Qin Feng knelt on the ground and confessed earnestly, "I was the one who spoke outrageously just now. I hope that the senior will not bear grudges and let us go."
Qin Feng was defeated very quickly. Surrounded by a dozen powerful warriors, he was quickly overwhelmed and beaten into a pig's head.
His sword skills did not hurt King Kong at all. King Kong punched him a few times and the opponent could not bear it anymore.
Before he could even exchange a few moves, he was knocked down.
Originally, Qin Feng hoped that the other three good brothers would help him, but he looked up secretly.
My goodness, three brothers are hanging on the tree!
Qin Feng had never seen such a strong straw man before. He immediately gave in and lay on the ground begging for mercy.
He knelt without any psychological burden, for he would forget everything once he got down the mountain!
"Weren't you very arrogant just now? Did you look down on our Si Nong?" Zhao Xing asked indifferently.
"Senior, I am blind and speak without thinking. I am the one who is ridiculous. Senior, please be magnanimous and don't hold it against me." Qin Feng begged for mercy again and again.
"Yes, the position of Si Nong benefits all the people and fights against the gods for the people. We all respect him very much."
"Senior, he just lost his mind, please don't bother with him."
"Then the Lingzhi should be occupied by a virtuous person like you!"
The other three people who were hung were also beaten into submission.
They didn't even see Zhao Xingren, but were beaten up by a few straw men. How could they not accept it?
As for the title of "senior", they called him without any psychological burden.
Si Nong didn't have much fighting power to begin with, so how strong could he be to use the straw man method to knock them down? He must have encountered an old official who had practiced for a long time.
"You can release it, but do you have the money?"
"Take out all the valuables and put them on the ground, then you can leave."
Zhao Xing was too lazy to bother with these people. After all, they would not remember anything after going down the mountain, so there was no need to worry about their revenge.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Qin Feng immediately stood up and took out all the things on his body. There was no silver, but there were several second-level talismans and a box of second-level pills.
The other three are similar.
Zhao Xing ordered the straw man to carry the things away, and then saw Qin Feng start to take off his soft armor, and immediately said: "You poor guys... I don't want the sword and soft armor, get out of here."
The standard weapons and armor of the Hucheng Military Division all have marks on them. They can't be sold. If you take them back and melt them down to get the materials, not only will the price be greatly reduced, but it will also be troublesome.
"Thank you, senior. Thank you, senior!" Qin Feng and the others thanked him profusely and left quickly.
When Fang Jie, Zhou Gang and others saw this sudden change, they suddenly felt that there was a sudden turn of events.
Just when they were about to be assassinated by these villains, unexpectedly a master suddenly appeared and rescued them.
"I am Zhou Gang, the guard of Hucheng Wusi. Thank you for your help, senior." Zhou Gang bowed to the people around him.
"I am Fang Jie, a guard of Hucheng Military Department. Thank you for your help, senior." Fang Jie also bowed.
Several powerful Vajra surrounded him, and a voice came: "Don't just say thank you, take out anything valuable."
Since Zhao Xing has made the move, there is no reason for him to let it go.
No matter whether you are a good person or a bad person, good or evil, if you pass by Zhao Sinong, you will have to pluck out two hairs.
"This..." Fang Jie and Zhou Gang were stunned.
"Why, your lives are not as valuable as those worldly possessions?"
"No, no, senior, you misunderstood." Zhou Gang smiled bitterly and took out a box of pills and talisman paper from his arms and said, "It's just that we guards are all very poor and don't have much money. I'm afraid these things are not enough to repay the senior for saving my life."
"Heh." When Zhao Xing saw them, the two of them immediately gave him a poor smile.
In total, there were only four pills for restoring vitality and two magic talismans for saving effort on the road, all of which were first-level and worthless. The valuables were weapons and armor, but Zhao Xing was reluctant to take them.
He no longer had the heart to exploit a few poor people and was about to leave.
Unexpectedly, Fang Jie heard this sneer and thought that the senior was dissatisfied, so he immediately said: "We two may have another way to repay the senior."
"Oh?"
Zhao Xing stopped immediately and wanted to listen to what the two were saying.
Fang Jie and Zhou Gang looked at each other and immediately said, "We passed by a cave before. There was a spirit in that cave. I remember the location and can take you there."
"I'm afraid this Lingxiu is not easy to get?"
Zhou Gang said, "To be honest, Senior, the cave is the lair of a ferocious beast. We knew we couldn't defeat it, so we left. We plan to try again when we are stronger."
Zhao Xing asked, "Do you know what kind of beast it is?"
Fang Jie said somewhat embarrassedly: "We are weak and the beast's roar is terrifying, so we did not go in to check."
Zhao Xing was silent. Zhou Gang and Fang Jie were at the fifth and sixth levels of Ju Yuan, respectively. How could they scare them to death? How powerful could they be?
"At least it has surpassed the eighth level of Ju Yuan, and it is even possible that it has surpassed the ninth level of Ju Yuan."
"But if I'm afraid of this and that, I won't climb this mountain."
"Anyway, there's a straw man blazing the trail, so there's nothing wrong with going and taking a look." After some speculation in his mind, he made a decision.
"It seems that being a good person has its benefits." Zhao Xing smiled softly, "Saving your lives was just a matter of convenience. If I really get the spirit in the cave, I will naturally not treat you unfairly."
"But let me be frank with you two. If you two don't want to take me with you, then that's fine. But if you have other intentions or are hiding something, don't blame me for turning a good thing into a bad one."
Zhou Gang and Fang Jie were shocked: "We would never dare to lie."
"Lead the way."
Zhao Xingwen sat on a rattan chair. Two miles away, Zhou Gang and Fang Jie were leading the way with a straw man.
He only believed three-quarters of everything. Even though Zhou Gang and Fang Jie swore to him, he never believed them completely, let alone show up and get close to them.
After walking for about three quarters of an hour, the mountain road became steeper and steeper, and the surrounding woods were so dense that a path had to be cut out with a knife.
Just as Zhao Xing was losing his patience, Zhou Gang in front of him whispered to the straw man, "Senior, it's just ahead."
Fang Jie pushed aside a leaf, and Zhao Xing looked through the reconnaissance straw man and found that there was indeed a cave in front of him.
"Senior, my heartbeats are accelerating and I can already feel the spiritual power. I wonder if you can sense it?" Zhou Gang asked cautiously.
"Well, you didn't lie to me." Zhao Xing naturally felt it too. Even though he was farther away than Zhou Gang and the others, he was stronger and his perception was sharper.
"Senior, we don't expect any reward. We will be very lucky if we can repay you for saving our lives." Zhou Gang said.
What he meant was that he didn't want to stay here anymore.
Zhao Xing understood: "You two don't have to think too much. I will keep my word. Now that we are here, I have some healing ointments. You can find a secluded place to heal your wounds first."
When Zhou Gang and Fang Jie heard that the mysterious man was unwilling to let them go, they were afraid that they would leak the information, so they had to agree. Fortunately, the mysterious man did not make things difficult for them and even ordered the straw man to deliver the ointment, which made them feel relieved.
For the time being, it seems that this senior's temper is not the kind of person who would turn his back on others.
He sent two straw men to keep an eye on Zhou Gang and Fang Jie, while Zhao Xing himself went to the opposite side of the cave entrance to observe.
"Boom~Boom~Boom~" The closer he got, the faster his heartbeat became. Zhao Xing understood that there must be at least a mid-grade spiritual fruit inside, which was even stronger than the pure Yuan Zhu fruit!
"Send a scout to check it out first."
