According to Brother Chengxin's judgment, we are still in the old forest, but because the time when the incident happened is too long ago to be determined, we can only roughly judge that this old forest was hidden.

But I never imagined that the masked man in the mural would actually appear in this old forest, and there was not just one, but a group of about twenty or thirty, and they had already surrounded us.

I had no idea how they appeared or how they hid their whereabouts. Even with my excellent spiritual sense, I could only feel that someone was peeping at me. I didn’t expect that twenty or thirty of them had already arrived and surrounded us.

Brother Chengxin was as shocked as I was, but after the shock, both of us could only choose to smile bitterly at the same time. Is this trip to the tomb destined to be so unsafe?

Although we are fine now, after the big battle outside, we asked ourselves that if we fight again, we probably won't be able to exert much of our fighting power.

The man in the mask was holding an unusually primitive-looking wooden stick, but one end of the stick was sharpened. Without a hot weapon, I have no doubt that these sticks could stab me and Cheng to death.

Brother Xin.

These masked people wear weird masks, and their whole bodies are wrapped in strange and rough-looking cloth. We can't see their expressions clearly, and we can't judge from their muscle movements whether they are full of attack consciousness towards us.

.

But even so, Brother Chengxin and I still vaguely felt their hostility. Where this hostility came from is unknown.

The atmosphere is a bit stalemate. Brother Chengxin and I may not be able to win. Who knows if these masked people have special abilities and can't escape. I think they are surrounding us from all directions except the sky. The only thing

The only direction we could run was toward the Dragon Tomb, but Brother Chengxin and I couldn't guarantee that we wouldn't be caught by them before we pushed open the thick-looking stone door.

In this case, Xiao Xi and Xiao Mao rushed in front of us and even bowed to the masked man repeatedly. I looked helpless and said: "Xiao Xi, Xiao Mao, don't beg them, or we will fight to the death."

Just kidding, I, Lao Li, can die standing up, but I will never live on my knees!

But Xiao Xi turned around and said to me: "Chengyi, I think they are very friendly, maybe we can talk."

Xiaoxi's words made Brother Chengxin and I relax a little bit from our tense muscles. Perhaps it was Xiaoxi and Xiaomao's kissing that really worked, or maybe it was for some other reason.

An unusually tall man among those masked monsters came out, and his dull voice came from under the mask: "Are you coveting the Dragon Tomb?"

This is really what the ancients said, and the voice is indescribably weird. It's not unpleasant. In fact, his voice is quite rich, but it is weird, just like a cat imitating a dog's bark, even if it barks "woof"

I cried out, but don’t you think it’s weird?

Brother Chengxin and I both had this weird feeling, but where did we start from saying that we coveted the Dragon Tomb? Brother Chengxin stood up and once again put on a smile like a spring breeze and said: "You have misunderstood

Well, we are definitely not coveting the Dragon Tomb. After all, we are human beings. What is there in the Dragon Tomb that we should covet? But I am very interested in the medicinal materials here."

Facing Brother Chengxin's words, the masked man laughed noncommittally, as if there really was something worth coveting in Dragon Tomb, but he just didn't bother to tell us.

He slammed the wooden stick in his hand on the ground, and then finally stopped talking about the clichéd ancient words, but said to us in more modern words: "You can't go near the dragon tomb, this is a forbidden area! You can pick medicinal materials, but you can't.

Move to the roots, need to move

You can only touch a small part of the roots of the medicinal materials, and you cannot touch the living things. Once you come, you cannot leave, you go and live there." After saying that, the weird mask waved his hand, meaning there was no more talk.

His words will never be changed and cannot be changed.

Can't leave? Does it mean that once you enter the Dragon Tomb and abandon the mortal world, you will be put under house arrest by these masked men? I frowned, obviously unable to accept what he said, so I stood up and said: "We definitely don't mean any harm, but we

Now we have to wait in this Dragon Tomb, because we have to wait for one of our friends. And we can’t move the medicinal materials, but we must leave, but we don’t know how to leave now.”

My words are very direct. I feel that when facing these masked people, it is best not to do anything hypocritical or submissive. Being direct may offend them, but the result is definitely much better than "coaxing" them with hypocrisy!

Facing my directness, the tall masked man was stunned for a moment, and then said "Huh", and then snorted heavily! He was a little angry!

Under his anger, the other masked men roared in unison, and then took a few steps towards us, with the intention of taking action if they disagreed!

I don’t know why, but when faced with hundreds of people, even elite cultivators, I never panicked, let alone felt psychological pressure. But when surrounded by these masked people, I felt a lot of pressure in my heart, and I unconsciously clenched my fists.

Tightly, my other hand involuntarily touched the yellow cloth bag I was carrying.

Xiao Xi and Xiao Mao were very anxious. Xiao Mao was bowing repeatedly, while Xiao Xi was anxious to persuade me and Brother Chengxin: "You should obey them first and don't conflict with them."

"If I obey them first, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave in the future. Besides, how can we rest assured that we haven't found Ruxue?" At this time, I am usually the one who is too lazy to explain, so it was Brother Chengxin who spoke.

'Hmph', the tall masked man snorted heavily again, and at this moment, a thin and old voice came in, it was another masked man, but compared with the tall masked man,

He looks much smaller and has a slightly gentler temper.

"We have already accepted the agreement, and we are not willing to commit more crimes and hurt others. Those who can come here are probably not ordinary people, so you should also know how rare this place is. It is rich in medicinal materials, has a quiet environment, and is not immune to the world.

Excuse me, and the mountain range over there is also a place with extremely rich spiritual energy. It is difficult to find a place with sufficient spiritual energy in this world."

"What do you mean?" It was Brother Chengxin who asked the question.

"It means that you are cultivators. In this world, there are fewer and fewer really good places for people to escape from the world and practice. If you realize the benefits of this place, even if we drive you away, you will not be willing to leave.

Of course, you can't get close except here. We mean this well, can't you realize it?" It was still the old man with a shrill voice who answered our questions.

I have to admit that his words are really convincing, and they are all for our benefit. It seems that if we want to leave at this time, we are stupid and ignorant, but we are not allowed to speak. The big man from before has a bad voice.

Said: "You humans are hypocritical. You came here just for the so-called treasure. Later, instead of saying that we don't want you to leave, you said that even if we chase you away, we can't chase you away! Do you think we

Are you willing to stay in our holy land? You"

The big man seemed to be careless and revealed so much information that the short masked man coughed repeatedly and interrupted his words. But Brother Chengxin and I had already figured it out. What do we mean by human beings? Do you wear masks?

Wearing a mask makes you no longer human?

"How about it? Have you thought about it? Come with us. There are rich medicinal materials in this forest. You can come to collect medicine occasionally. You just can't go near the dragon tomb." The short masked man didn't seem to want to stay any longer.

Said.

I would definitely not agree. Before I met Ruxue, I said I would never leave this area. There was no way I could just rest assured Ruxue.

Just as I was about to speak, I was stopped by Brother Chengxin. He narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly asked: "According to your opinion, you are the aboriginal people here? And - you are not human, right?"

If you face a group of people wearing masks and say they are not human, this should be a very powerful curse word. Most people will be furious, but when faced with Brother Chengxin's question, these masked people are unusually silent, and even more

No intention of getting angry.

But the masked man with a shrill voice said: "If you must ask, I can tell you! But after knowing this secret, you can't leave anymore. Have you thought clearly?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the tall masked man said coldly: "Human beings? We can't reach that high! We don't even want to be recognized as human beings. You'd better say less and ask less if we are human beings in the future."

Those words are an insult to us, and I will tear you apart next time."

He finished speaking happily, but I was filled with rage. A man of Lao Li's lineage can tolerate it and not care about others, but being threatened like this? So, I laughed "haha" and my expression changed.

It sank all of a sudden.
