Chapter 344

Xu Qi 'an slowly swept the faces of his colleagues and said in a deep voice: "This is saltpeter."

The name saltpeter was very strange to the few Warrior who didn't read much and lacked relevant knowledge.

Song Tingfeng exchanged glances with his colleagues, frowned and asked: "Saltpeter?"

Xu Qi 'an said: "I will change the name. You will know more about flame saltpeter. It is the main material for making gunpowder. "

Everyone's face changed uncontrollably.

Gunpowder is a secret technique of Daibun. It is one of the means to deter the countries of the four seas. Daibun has a very strict control over the formula and materials related to gunpowder (mainly saltpeter).

Even the night watchman only knows a little about the composition of gunpowder.

A saltpeter mine was found in the Yellow Mountain … And there are traces of mining … Song Tingfeng's face no longer had a smile, he was very serious: "Immediately go back to the capital and report this matter."

Compared to the monsters, the discovery of saltpeter mine is more important.

Lü Qing stared at the gray-haired village chief and ordered: "Tie him up and take him away."

There is a saltpeter mine in the Yellow Mountain, but as a village chief, he said he didn't know about it? No matter what, he must be taken back for interrogation.

The two officers took off the rope around their waist, tied the village chief's hands behind his back, and escorted him out.

Village chief should not know about it, otherwise, he wouldn't have brought us here. This doesn't make sense … Moreover, from the analysis of body language and other details, he doesn't seem to know about it. An uneducated old man, he can't be an actor … The reason why the monsters drove away the grey households was because of the saltpeter mine?

Uh … The possibility is not big. They have to ask a professional to judge the mining time of the saltpeter mine here.

Xu Qi 'an combed all kinds of thoughts in his mind, he held the torch and just stepped out of the cave. Suddenly, he heard Lü Qing's scream: "Be careful!"

At the same time, he heard a whistling sound. A shadow came from the side, it was too fast for him to respond.

Bang!

The gong on his chest cracked, Xu Qi 'an felt like he was hit by a high-speed train. The powerful impact sent him flying, and his consciousness instantly fell into darkness.

The sudden attack caught everyone off guard, and they all responded in different ways.

The three officers of the government pulled out their swords and took off their crossbows.

Zhu Guangxiao kicked the village chief into the cave. Song Tingfeng pulled out his sword and shouted: "Get in, don't come out."

On a boulder at the side of the cave, there was a monster that was two meters long. It looked like a salamander, and its body was covered in thick scales.

There was a sharp horn on its forehead, and its amber pupils flickered with a cold, cruel, and vicious light.

Its forelimbs had four toes.

Its cheeks were bulging as if it was hiding a hidden weapon, ready to launch an attack at any time.

"Puff!"

A black shadow that was almost invisible to the naked eye shot out and attacked Song Tingfeng.

He narrowed his eyes, and his body reacted faster than his mind. He instinctively leaned back and avoided the strike that pierced his heart.

Lu Qing took a step forward and continuously stepped on the rocks, causing dust to splatter everywhere. He held his sword with both hands and slashed.

"Ding" Ding "



Amidst a series of teeth-aching sounds, the blade cut the tip of his tongue, creating dazzling sparks.

Everyone saw that the monster's long tongue was covered with a layer of fine scales.

The monster seemed to feel pain. It retracted its long tongue and supported its huge body with its four limbs. It stood on the boulder and looked down at everyone.

It puffed up its cheeks, opened its bloody mouth, and let out a deep roar.

The roar startled the wild birds in the forest. They flapped their wings and flew into the sky.

Song Tingfeng and others were in a trance. They felt like they were hit in the back of their heads.

Spirit Refinement Stage … He was stunned. He endured the dizziness and hit his chest with the handle of the sword.

Clang …

The loud sound of the gong was like the evening drum and the morning bell. It offset the sound wave and brought clarity.

After both sides got rid of the trance, they immediately responded.

Lü Qing stepped back and ordered his two colleagues at the peak of Spirit Refinement Stage: "You use your crossbows to help. Attack its eyes, jaw, and mouth."

These were relatively soft places.

Song Tingfeng took off the gong and threw it to Zhu Guangxiao: "You are responsible for the front. Be careful."

He clearly saw that Xu Qi 'an's gong was damaged. He knew that a gong could not withstand the monster's tongue.

Song Tingfeng felt sad when he thought of Xu Qi 'an. Although the gong could withstand a full blow from a Spirit Refinement Stage, the monster's sneak attack had succeeded.

Xu Qi 'an was caught off guard. It was possible that his heart would be crushed by the aftershock. If the length of service was only one day, it would be too tragic.

Song Tingfeng calmed himself down. He dragged his sword and ran, attacking the monster from the side.

The salamander's amber eyes moved. It looked like it was going to turn around and stick out its tongue. Zhu Guangxiao beat it to the gong and shook the monster's mind.

At the same time, he infused his sword with Qi and slashed out with a deep roar. The curved sword energy swept out and the air became distorted due to the high temperature.

The monster was so huge that it could not dodge. It lowered its head and used its hard forehead to resist the sword energy. It then swung its tail. As if it had eyes on its back, it accurately whipped Song Tingfeng.

Song Tingfeng blocked it with his sword and was sent flying.

On the other side, Lü Qing seized the opportunity and stabbed the monster's abdomen. It still avoided it as if it had predicted it.

Warriors and demons in the Spirit Refinement Stage had strong mental power. They could radiate their surroundings and make the surrounding scenery appear in their minds.

Any tracking, ambush, targeting, or killing intent could not escape the eyes of a warrior in the Spirit Refinement Stage.

This was the unique magic of the Spirit Refinement Stage.

…

My mother almost died before she could succeed. She finally broke through to the Qi Refinement Stage and died in the line of duty before she lost her virginity … Xu Qi 'an woke up after a short period of unconsciousness.

He listened to the fierce fighting in the distance. He did not get up but crawled forward. When no one was paying attention, he climbed to a high point.

He took out a small jade mirror and pulled the back. He poured out the military crossbow and Bone-corroding Poison that Song Qing had given him. After calmly applying the poison, he silently raised the crossbow and aimed at the monster, waiting for an opportunity.

Clang …

Zhu Guangxiao hit the gong, shaking the monster's Primordial Spirit and blinding its senses.

Xu Qi 'an was about to shoot when the monster suddenly turned over. This surprised Song Tingfeng and the others. They did not know what it was doing.

… Damn it, sneak attacks are useless against a master in the Spirit Refinement Stage!

Xu Qi 'an, who knew the real reason, cursed in his heart.

The safest way was to continue waiting and let Song Tingfeng and the others consume the monster, injure it, and lower its spiritual sense. Then he would have the chance to use this magic crossbow that could kill a Spirit Refinement Stage cultivator and complete the decapitation!

Soon, Xu Qi 'an gave up on this idea …

Lü Qing was like a vigorous female leopard. She ran with her two powerful long legs. With a shout, she finally stabbed the high-frequency vibrating blade into the monster's abdomen.

Blood soaked the blade, as if it had touched a red-hot soldering iron. It sizzled and steamed up.

The monster roared in pain. Its head tilted to one side and its lower jaw swelled. A black shadow broke through the air and shot out.

Lü Qing's face darkened. Fear appeared on her beautiful face. She could not avoid this attack.

At that moment, a figure pounced on her from the side. He hugged the female arrester's plump and vigorous body and rolled her sideways.

Song Tingfeng came to her rescue. He stabbed the monster's soft abdomen. It was forced to stop chasing after its companion.

Lü Qing felt a pair of strong arms around her waist. A man's heavy body was pressing on her. Her breathing quickened. She stared at the man on top of her and blurted out in surprise.

"You're not dead."

Xu Qi 'an grinned. "Almost."

If it wasn't for the Heart Protection Mirror that Song Qing gave me …

Lü Qing was about to speak when she saw the monster's tail coming down from above. She quickly hugged Xu Qi 'an and rolled with him.

Bang!

The place where the two of them were lying was left with deep marks.

"We're even." Xu Qi 'an smiled at her. The two of them separated and cooperated with Song Tingfeng to attack the monster.

The reason why he gave up on sneak attacks and chose to fight was because three Qi Refinement Realm martial artists could not defeat a Spirit Refinement Realm monster.

In the end, Xu Qi 'an would be the only one left without an army, even if the monster was not killed.

Seeing that their companion did not die, Zhu Guangxiao and Song Tingfeng's eyes brightened with joy.

Xu Qi 'an took out the Bone Erosion Poison and applied it on the blade. He threw it to Lü Qing and said, "Apply it on the blade."

Lü Qing looked at him, took a few steps back and applied the poison. Then she threw it to Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao.

Song Tingfeng was unlucky. When he applied the poison, he was attacked by the monster. Its long tongue brushed past his arm and his scales were scratched.

Lü Qing made a cut on the monster's body. Seeing that the wound quickly turned black and gave off a rotten smell, she looked at Xu Qi 'an in surprise and said, "It works!"

With Xu Qi 'an's help, four Qi Refinement Realm martial artists worked together to kill the monster, and two Spirit Refinement Realm martial artists attacked from the side. The advantage was obvious.

The monster was extremely strong and its tongue was unparalleled.

However, its huge size and body structure meant that it was unable to move around like a human martial artist and be as nimble and flexible.

The wounds on its body were getting more and more numerous.

…

"Be careful!" Xu Qi 'an waved his saber and infused his Qi into it. He slashed the monster's tail and saved Lü Qing, who had traded injuries for injuries.

The web between his thumb and forefinger split open and blood flowed.

He stared at Lü Qing angrily. "Do you want to die? How can a woman fight so hard? "

Lü Qing stared at him for a while. For the first time, there was a hint of femininity in her voice. "Yes."

"Roar …"

The monster shook the air and once again exploded with a terrifying spiritual storm.

Xu Qi 'an and the others were prepared. They quickly retreated and put some distance between them to avoid being attacked by the long tongue.

Unexpectedly, after the monster forced everyone to retreat, it turned around and ran away with its four claws …

It went into the forest and violently knocked down one tree after another, clearing a clear and rough path.

Lü Qing's beautiful face turned pale. "Chase it. We can't let it get away."

Once the monster entered the water, it would be difficult to destroy it.

Song Tingfeng leaped into the air, stepping on the branches as he walked. He looked very much like a martial arts expert with superb qinggong.

He stepped on a tree trunk and flew into the air. He looked down at the whole forest. The muscles on his right hand that held the saber expanded and burst open his loose sleeve.

"Ha!"

The saber shot out and drew a bright silver light in the air.

A second later, the monster's painful roar came from the forest.

Song Tingfeng's wind was exhausted and he fell into the forest.

Zhu Guangxiao took over. His Qinggong was not as good as Song Tingfeng's, but his explosive power was not weak. He ran close to the ground and caught up with the monster. He roared and rushed into the sky, slashing at the monster.

Bam!

The monster with a saber on its back swept him away with its tail and continued to run for its life.

Only Lü Qing and Xu Qi 'an were left in pursuit. The female constable, who was as agile as a female leopard, followed closely behind the monster. She did not fall behind, but she did not catch up either.

Soon, they were out of the forest. After chasing for a while, the surging river was in sight.

"Splash!"

The monster plunged into the river and splashed.

The valiant female constable was disappointed. She saw Xu Qi 'an jump high from the corner of her eyes. He took out a military crossbow from his waist and pulled the trigger without aiming.

The moment the arrow was shot, a strong wave of Qi Ji exploded.

The female constable did not even catch the afterimage of the arrow. She heard the "swish" sound of the arrow entering the water.

A few seconds later, a miraculous scene happened.

Blood-colored water appeared on the surface of the river. A monster that was two feet long slowly floated up.

The cause of its death was an arrow that pierced through its head.

Lü Qing turned her head in a daze and looked at the young and tall night watchman.

Xu Qi 'an shrugged. "I've always been lucky."
