Chapter 23 Hostility

Hearing this sound, the breath of the visitor who had sneaked into the side suddenly suffocated, as if it had been frozen.

It was just a breathing time, and a generous voice came from the forest next to Qin Zhan: "Haha, sir, I misunderstood. We were just walking in this forest for several days. We met a stranger for the first time and felt curious, and there was no other intention."

The next moment, an old man who looked fifty or sixty years old had already appeared in the forest and walked towards the fire.

Although the old man seemed to be slow, he was very particular about each step, and he took into account the blind spots between each action to prevent some sudden changes.

However, when he saw Qin Zhan clearly, who would never be more than twenty years old, he was obviously stunned. He did not expect that this "master" who lived in the hopeless forest and could find that he was so young.

When he looked at Qin Zhan, Qin Zhan also glanced at him, but this glance made him secretly shocked.

The old man, who looked fifty or sixty, had already given him a faint pressure as he walked step by step. Although this pressure was not strong, it was even worse than the Dean Chi Xiao I had seen before. But from this point, it was no longer difficult for him to judge that this old man was already a super expert at the ninth level of Qi Refining!

The Ninth Level of Qi Refining is an unignorable existence no matter where it is placed. Even if you join the royal family, you will definitely be able to obtain an extremely noble identity.

But thinking about it, if there were no strong people of this level, it would be completely impossible for this group of people to enter the hopeless forest safely. They would have been torn apart by the omnipresent monsters.

The old man was relieved when he saw Qin Zhan's age, but when he noticed the true energy in his body that was only peaking at the sixth level of Qi refining, his expression immediately became serious again.

A cultivator who only has the sixth level of Qi Refining appeared in the hopeless forest sea near the central area? If there is nothing strange about it, no one believes anything. Even if a strong man at the innate level wants to penetrate the hopeless forest sea safely, he can only rely on his luck against the will. Otherwise, encountering any monster of age may force him to flee back in a hurry.

"My friend is so elegant. He actually cooks fire and cooks food in such a dangerous place in the hopeless forest. I wonder if I am lucky enough to taste my friend's skills?"

Although Qin Zhan could not do anything to the powerful person in the ninth level of Qi Refining, in the forest, with the lightning technique, it was impossible for the powerful person in the ninth level of Qi Refining to catch up with him.

However, he did not want to offend a powerful man at the ninth level of Qi Refining, so he nodded and responded: "If the old man is interested, just taste it. Even the five friends who called the old man will not care."

A hidden light flashed in the old man's eyes, but it was soon covered up by the smile. If Qin Zhan's spiritual power had not been greatly improved, he would probably not have discovered it.

"Haha, my friend is so hospitable, so I'll thank you for your help." After saying that, he immediately shouted to the jungle behind him: "Miss, Master, please come here. This friend is not an enemy, don't worry."

After hearing the old man's words, the paused footsteps in the forest rang again.

However, from the sound of their footsteps, Qin Zhan could have heard that the cultivation level of these people was obviously not as good as that of this old man. If they were all old monsters who reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, then whether they were enemies or friends, he would have to escape as quickly as possible to avoid being surrounded by this group of people.

When the remaining footsteps approached, Qin Zhan found that there were not only five people, but six people. However, one of the six people was a nine- or ten-year-old boy, who was being held by a middle-aged man, and he didn't hear his footsteps before he noticed it.

In addition to this little boy, the remaining five were three men and two women. Two of the three men were obviously guards, and the other man was a little younger, but he was wearing armor. One of the two women dressed as a maid and firmly protected a young woman wearing a veil.

Not only her, but even the three men vaguely occupied the other three directions and protected the woman in the center. Obviously, she was the head of the group.

Qin Zhan had already seen the details of several people at this moment. The two men and one women and three guards, including the young man, were all innate realms who reached the seventh level of Qi Refining, especially the young man who was only twenty-four or five years old. His cultivation was even at the peak of the seventh level of Qi Refining. He was only one step away from breaking through the bottleneck and being promoted to the eighth level of Qi Refining.

The innate level strong men can serve as guards, and there is definitely an extraordinary force behind them. Even if they have one of the three major sects of Chongshan Kingdom, Shangjianmen, who have a powerful man in the realm of the God Transformation Realm, they may not have such a big deal.

Although this group of people had extraordinary cultivation, they were quite tired at this moment. Two of them were even slightly injured, and blood was faintly overflowing from the bandage bandaged on the young man's arm. These wounds included sword injuries caused by humans and claw injuries caused by monsters. Obviously, this was a team that gathered a lot of trouble.

After getting into trouble with these people, Qin Zhan immediately bowed and said, "Enjoy slowly, I'm already full, so I'll say goodbye first."

"Hehe, please stay." The old man looked at Qin Zhan a few times and said, "Looking at my dress, I seem to have lived in the forest for a long time. I should be very familiar with the surrounding environment. I wonder if I can help me wait for a favor?"

"I'm just training in the forest, and I'm just going wherever I go. I'm just a newcomer to this neighborhood and don't know much about it."

“Training in the forest…”

The young man and the woman wearing a veil all turned their eyes to Qin Zhan. The puzzled gaze was obviously doubting that he had reached the peak of Qi Refining cultivation but was approaching the central area in the hopeless forest.

"Ha, my friend is young and can easily survive in the hopeless forest. I admire him. However, this hopeless forest is close to the central area, so I wonder what methods can my friend survive safely in the forest?"

As soon as the old man finished speaking, the others immediately understood the key to the whole thing. Thinking of the enemy who had been chasing them, the two male guards immediately held the hilt of the sword. As long as Qin Zhan's next answer made them unable to satisfy, they were afraid that it would be a situation of war.

Qin Zhan glanced at the old man and several guards, and slightly shook the Luofeng sword in his hand. The expression on his face gradually became cold: "Since I can survive in the hopeless forest, I naturally have my own way of saving my life. Why, may you guys want to see it?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere between both sides immediately became tense.

The man at the peak of Qi Refining Seventh Level immediately stepped forward and snorted: "Just try!"

The old man smiled kindly and said to Qin Zhan: "I have this idea too. I believe my friend will not reject the suggestion of me, a bad man." After saying that, without waiting for Qin Zhan to reply, he immediately said: "Tang Ying, go up and learn about this friend's tricks."

"Yes!" One of the two guards immediately stepped forward, but before he could take a step, an extremely ethereal and pleasant voice came from the masked woman: "Wait a minute."

When the old man heard the woman's speech, he immediately turned around and said with a little respectful tone: "Miss, what's the matter?"

"How can we be rude and fight with the gentleman when this gentleman invites us to eat so generously? This is really impolite, so don't mention the competition." As she said that, she immediately said to the maid beside her: "Xiaoyu, take out the Qionghua wine I brought from... my house and treat this gentleman well."

Qionghua wine!

The guards were all slightly surprised when they heard the name. This kind of treasure is very precious. Even at home, the lady rarely takes it out to entertain guests. She didn't expect to take it out today to such a young man who was never known.

Although I was puzzled, the woman obviously had a high prestige among the group. The maid named Xiaoyu still took off the burden on her body and found the so-called Qionghua wine. However, the slow movements clearly showed that she was reluctant to leave this thing.

This woman had only the cultivation level of entering the sixth level of Qi Refining. Qin Zhan, who was used to seeing the innate powerhouse, had never paid much attention to her. However, when he saw the scene where even the powerful people in the ninth level of Qi Refining would listen to her, he finally put his attention back on the woman.

The woman looked only about twenty years old, and her tall figure looked so graceful. The black style like a waterfall fell down, with soft shoulders lightly, full of dignified and classical beauty. Although she was covered with a veil, the eyes of the scent of autumn water exuded a charm that reached the hearts of the people, just like the bright moon in the sky, which made people fascinated. Even Qin Zhan, who had a successful spiritual sense and a firm will, could not help but lose his mind when he touched her eyes on the first day of the day.

"Hmph!" The young man hummed softly and was about to speak, but was immediately stopped by the woman. The old man at the Ninth Level of Qi Refining Next to him was also a little surprised. He didn't understand why his lady looked at the boy at the Sixth Level of Qi Refining in front of him with admiration. However, when he saw the ferret fur that was peeled off by Qin Zhan and randomly discarded beside him, and the ferret meat that he had eaten a lot of ferret meat, he immediately understood something, and his face changed immediately.

Ferret, that's a monster!
