Chapter 137 The Boy in Chains

There are green trees, chirping insects and singing birds.

In the woods, a burly young man tied with iron chains was walking at a brisk pace.

Suddenly, he seemed to realize something, jumped onto the top of a tree, looked into the distance, and vaguely saw several figures disappearing into the valley in the distance. An inexplicable excitement appeared on his face, and he fled into the distance.

There are two mountains between them with steep cliffs. If you want to get to the other side of the mountain, the valley is the only shortcut.

At this moment, there were two people guarding the entrance of the valley, doing their robbery business in a show of force.

"Stop! What are you doing?" Among the two, the young man with a rat-like face waved his knife to stop the young man in gray who was about to enter the valley.

The young man in gray took a look at the two people's cultivation and found that they were only in the late stage of Condensation Realm. He retorted: "What do you care!"

He stretched out his hand to push away the sword in the man's hand and took a step forward.

"Stop right there! I'm setting up a checkpoint here on the orders of the young prince. If you take another step forward, be careful or I'll chop you to pieces," the rat-faced young man was very arrogant. He swung the golden token on his waist, and his look of asking for a beating was really annoying.

The young man in gray took a look at the token and sure enough, the word "Yuyang" was written on it. It was definitely the token of Yuyang Palace.

He thought carefully, "Once I join the Sea God Sect, the Yuyang Palace will mean nothing to me!" He pretended not to know him and sneered, "Oh! That sounds nice. The young prince is such a great man, would he care about a lowly person like you, fooling around with a fake token!"

"You... are looking for death!" The rat-looking young man swung his knife and chopped. His companions around him hurried forward to help and fought with the gray-clothed young man.

The young man in gray relied on his slightly higher cultivation level to barely gain the upper hand, but the next moment, the two men's moves suddenly changed, with a clear division of labor, one attacking from above and the other from below, using all kinds of despicable moves.

The young man in gray was caught off guard and was hit, with blood spurting out of his thigh.

The other man took advantage of his illness and stabbed him through the heart. The young man died with his eyes wide open, full of hatred.

The young man with a rat-like face searched his body and found nothing but useless things, not even a jade crystal. He cursed, "Poor bastard!"

Looking up, he saw a burly young man in chains approaching. He regained his arrogant attitude and shouted, "Stop! Do you think you can come here? Hand over the jade crystal on you and I will spare your life."

Just the words were enough to make the chained boy feel disgusted. He didn't even look at him. The moment he shook his hands, the chains wrapped around his body flew out and wrapped around the neck of the rat-eyed boy.

With a strong pull, the chain was quickly retracted, dragging the rat-faced boy with it. The chained boy's big hand replaced the chain to grab his neck and squeezed it hard. With a click, he died!

"You..." The other man was shocked and realized he was no match for his opponent, so he turned around and tried to escape.

But just as he took a step forward, the boy in chains appeared behind him.

The next second, he was knocked flying by a punch and hit the cliff wall, then fell heavily to the ground.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me, I have jade crystals, I'll give them all to you, all to you..." The desire to live supported him to kneel down and kowtow continuously.

The two jade crystals he wanted to hand over slipped from his trembling hands and fell to the ground.

This punch broke almost one-third of his spine and shattered all his ribs.

The act of kowtowing caused the broken bones in his body to pierce his heart, and now he could only let out the breath.

The boy in chains had a blank expression on his face from beginning to end, because to him, killing someone was as insignificant as crushing an ant.

He walked straight into the valley without even picking up the jade crystals on the ground.

About an incense stick of time later, Le Jinxi and Ji Zinian appeared at the entrance of the valley. Looking at the scene in front of them, the two looked at each other with a confused expression.

"Hey! Yu Jing!" Ji Zinian pointed sharply at the dead boy.

Le Jinxi also looked over and indeed saw two jade crystals lying there quietly. He wondered in his heart, "Could this be bait?"

Seeing Ji Zinian was about to go over to pick it up, he quickly stopped him and warned him, "Be careful, there might be a scam!"

Ji Zinian was stunned and looked around quickly. After a while, he asked in a low voice: "Brother, how could I not see it?"

“Uh…” Le Jinxi smiled awkwardly and said, “I just told you to be careful, but I didn’t say it was a scam. Go get it, I’ll help you watch it.”

"Oh!" Ji Zinian smiled innocently, picked up the jade crystal and quickly returned to Le Jinxi.

Everything went as usual, nothing unexpected happened.

"Brother, here you go!" Ji Zinian handed the jade crystal to Le Jinxi.

"You keep it! It's still early, you only need to find three more!" Le Jinxi motioned for him to put it away.

Looking at the corpse again, he was still wondering why the murderer didn't pick up the jade crystal.

"It's not advisable to stay here for long. Let's go into the valley. Remember, be smart. The people who killed them may have also entered the valley. Don't stay too far away from me." Le Jinxi gave a few instructions.

"Hehe! Don't worry, big brother. I'm not as strong as you in terms of fighting strength, but when it comes to my ability to protect myself, I'm still very confident," Ji Zinian grinned and raised his arms to show off his muscles.

The further you go into the valley, the more likely you are to come across a path extending into the mountain. The path is completely dark and no one knows where it leads to.

"Brother, where do these paths lead to?" Ji Zinian asked curiously.

Almost every time he passed the entrance of a path, he would go up and take a look inside. If Le Jinxi hadn't stopped him, he would have gone in.

"Who knows? This is my first time here too," Le Jinxi was depressed. She really couldn't understand why he had so many questions.

If you think about it carefully, these dark paths are quite similar to the paths you took when you were looking for earth dragons.

As they continued to go deeper into the valley, they could vaguely see bloodstains on the ground, which made the two men become alert.

"This is... a snake!" Ji Zinian followed the blood trail and found several dead snakes that had been cut into pieces. Looking further ahead, there were large piles of dead snakes that made people's scalps numb.

His spiritual consciousness suddenly retracted, Le Jinxi's face changed drastically, and he said urgently: "Don't dawdle, hurry up!"

The next second, strange noises were heard everywhere. The hissing sound brought up melodic sound waves, hitting both sides of the mountain walls and echoing repeatedly. The sound entered the ears, making people feel tinnitus, dizzy and upset.

"Use the power of the lines to protect your ears and pay attention to the paths on both sides," Le Jinxi quickly approached Ji Zinian, standing back to back with him, and looked alertly at his surroundings.

Danger was everywhere. There was a whooshing sound like an arrow leaving a bow, and green snakes as thick as arms shot out from the paths on both sides and rushed towards the two of them.

"Here it comes!" Le Jinxi picked up the gun and moved, the sad wind and moon danced in the spring and autumn, the gun shadows were continuous, and every move was a critical hit.

Looking at Ji Zinian again, he was holding a Qingguang sword. When he swung it, the sword made a clanging sound and the sword tip flashed with cold light. All the attacking snakes were cut off one by one.

The two men cooperated well with each other and were not at all panicked when facing the attack of the snakes. In just a few minutes, they killed the snakes and forced them to retreat.

Le Jinxi stood with a gun in his hand, still feeling uneasy, and said to Ji Zinian: "Let's go now!"

Just as he finished speaking, several pieces of rubble fell from the sky, landed on the ground in front of him and bounced far away.

He quickly raised his head and looked upwards, and when he saw this, he almost bit his tongue in shock.
