Chapter 66

A few days later, Fan Bin came looking for him. Behind him were two high level Martial Master inner disciples.

Zhan Chen opened the door, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes as he asked, "Brother Fan, didn't you say that you wanted to find a few experts to accompany you?"

Fan Bin helplessly spread out his hands and said, "I have no choice, I can't find experts, I can only find two brothers of the same level."

At this time, the two people standing behind Fan Bin were unhappy as they shouted, "Zhan Chen, how can we be compared to those normal high level Martial Masters? Our strength is definitely not ordinary!"

Fan Bin advised, "Alright, everyone stop arguing. The place we are going to is extremely dangerous. When the time comes, we will need everyone's help and sincere cooperation."

The two people behind him finally stopped arguing.

Fan Bin then introduced to Zhan Chen, "Brother Zhan, let me introduce you. This is Brother Sun Erniu, who is skilled with the saber." He pointed to a bearded man with a large saber on his back.

"And this is Senior Li Hei." He pointed to a grave and stern man with a black face as he spoke.

"Senior Sun Erniu, Senior Li Hei, nice to meet you." Zhan Chen greeted the two of them.

The two of them responded coldly. Zhan Chen could see that the two of them did not have friendly gazes.

At this time, Fan Bin smiled and said, "Since everyone knows each other, we are all friends. Let's set off."

Thus, the four of them went to the Experience Hall to complete the procedures to leave the sect before heading towards Thousand Lake.

Along the way, Zhan Chen's heart could not calm down. He thought about the whole process of this mission and felt that he seemed to have overlooked some details. What was it?

He looked at Fan Bin, Sun Erniu and Li Hei who were walking together. They seemed to be a group while he was an outsider.

"Could it be …" Zhan Chen suddenly came to a realization. His heart sank as a bad guess was born. However, he still had to carefully verify it himself as it was just a guess.

After walking for nearly half a month, they finally arrived at Thousand Lake. At a glance, Thousand Lake seemed to be a boundless grassland. Lakes of various sizes were scattered all over the place, stretching for thousands of miles.

There were dangers and traps everywhere. Beneath the seemingly flat grassland, there could be a huge quagmire. If a passerby accidentally stepped on it, they would fall into it and be trapped.

Although a martial artist's physique was excellent and could escape such traps, it would still take some effort.

At the same time, there were also many water-attributed Monster Beasts lurking in the water plants and ponds, waiting for an opportunity to take the lives of passing martial artists.

Fan Bin and the rest each found a bamboo pole and used it to explore the way as they slowly advanced.

Not long after, Zhan Chen felt that the other three had fallen behind him without him noticing.

Therefore, he glanced back with the corner of his eye. Fan Bin and the others were holding their weapons at their waists and staring at him, as if they were looking for some kind of opening.

The suspicion in his heart became even more certain. Therefore, he pretended not to know as he turned around and smiled at Fan Bin and the rest: "Brother Fan, how did you fall behind me? Come up quickly!" The suspicions in his heart became even more certain, so he pretended not to know anything and turned around to smile at Fan Bin and the other two, "Brother Fan, how did you fall behind me? Come on up!"

At this moment, a ruthless light flashed in the eyes of Sun Erniu and Li Hei. They were about to attack Fan Bin, but Fan Bin stopped them with a glance. He then smiled, "Brother Zhan, it's not good. Earlier, I stepped on air and almost fell into the quagmire. Luckily, Brother Sun Erniu and Brother Li Hei pulled me up, so I slowed down."

At this moment, a ruthless glint flashed across Sun Erniu and Li Hei's eyes. They were about to attack Zhan Chen when they were stopped by Fan Bin's gaze. Fan Bin then smiled and said: "Brother Zhan, it's not good. I missed a step and nearly fell into the quagmire. Luckily, Brother Sun Erniu and Brother Li Hei pulled me up, so I fell behind." These quagmire traps are really hard to guard against. We should stay closer and guard against each other! "Zhan Chen said, following Fan Bin's intentions.

Fan Bin and the rest felt that there was a double meaning to these quagmire traps. "That's right.

"Yes, you have to be careful!" Fan Bin laughed to cover up his embarrassment.

After that, the four of them walked together again. Fan Bin and the others didn't seem to have any evil intentions anymore. However, Zhan Chen had more or less guessed that Fan Bin and the other two were probably sent by Lan Hong or Wang Yin to harm him. It was just that he hadn't caught them by the tail yet.

As night fell, the four of them spent their first night in the swamp. They set up a bonfire and removed the hair from a rank 2 Demonic Beast they had just killed. Then, they placed it on the fire and roasted it. Soon, the fragrance of meat filled the air, whetting one's appetite.

Just as the four of them were about to divide the meat, they heard Fan Bin laugh: "There's meat but no wine, how can it be satisfying? Come, everyone, have a taste of the good wine I brought! " As he spoke, he patted his Qiankun bag and retrieved a jar of good wine. As he opened the jar, a strong wine fragrance wafted out.

Sun Erniu and Li Hei praised: "Brother Fan, this is good wine! Fill it up! "

"Alright!" Fan Bin replied with a smile as he took out a big bowl and poured wine for them one by one.

However, Zhan Chen noticed that when Fan Bin was pouring wine for himself, one of his fingers seemed to have accidentally dipped into the wine. It was as if a small ball of powder had fallen into the bowl and spread out in the wine.

He did it very secretly. If it was not for Zhan Chen's special attention, he would not have noticed this small detail.

"There's something wrong with this wine!" Zhan Chen came to a realization at once.

At this time, Fan Bin brought the wine in front of him and said with a friendly smile: "Brother Zhan Chen, come, let's drink this bowl together!"

Zhan Chen was about to explode, but he gave up on it after a second thought. He even took the bowl of wine and pretended that he did not notice anything.

"Alright! Let's drink together! "Fan Bin said straightforwardly and took the lead to drink the wine in the bowl.

After that, Sun Erniu and Li Hei also drank. However, Zhan Chen pretended to be careless and dropped the bowl on the ground, spilling all the wine. He then cried out with "regret": "Aiya, Brother Fan, I'm so sorry. I spilled your good wine."

"Hehe, it's okay. I'll fill up your bowl again."

"Hey! Why bother? " Zhan Chen pretended to be impulsive and snatched the wine jar from Fan Bin's hand. He raised it and poured it into his mouth. Then he smiled and said to Fan Bin: "It's really good wine. Refreshing! Hahaha! "

Fan Bin's face suddenly froze, and he could only accompany him with a fake smile and laughed a few times.

Zhan Chen secretly glanced at the ground. He saw that where the wine had spilled, there were a few stalks of grass that had been completely poisoned. His pupils suddenly shrank as he thought to himself: "What a poisonous wine. If I didn't take precautions, I really would have died in your hands!"

After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Zhan Chen found an opening and returned to his tent to train.

At this time, Fan Bin pulled Sun Erniu and Li Hei to a nearby bush to discuss something.

Sun Erniu rushed to Fan Bin and asked: "Brother Fan, why did you stop us from killing that bastard Zhan Chen in the morning? This way, we can report to Young Master Wang earlier."

Fan Bin's expression became serious as he solemnly said: "Erniu, your thinking is too simple. Have you ever thought about why Young Master Wang wanted to lure Zhan Chen and set up such a big trap and spent so much money? Even Lin Dong didn't succeed in killing that brat. I reckon that even if the three of us worked together, it would still be very difficult to succeed. "

"Then what should we do?" Sun Erniu asked.

"Lure Zhan Chen to a dangerous place and then meet up with Young Master Wang. We will capture that bastard together!"

At this time, the relatively calm Li Hei said: "But that Zhan Chen seems to have discovered our secret. Will he obediently give in?"

Fan Bin smiled slightly and said: "So what? Since he didn't make a move on us, it means that he is too arrogant! We can make use of his arrogance and send him to his grave! "

"Alright, Brother Fan, we will do that!" The other two said in unison.

"While Zhan Chen isn't paying attention, I will leave first tonight and meet up with Young Master. We will discuss the matter of capturing that bastard together." Fan Bin said.

"Oh, Young Master is already here?" The two of them were surprised.

"Of course he is here. Young Master Wang already knows the terrain of Thousand Lake like the back of his hand. He has already told me the place to meet up. It is not far from here. I will go there first."

"Alright!"

Thus, Fan Bin's figure flashed and disappeared into the night sky. It was only when the sky turned white that he quietly returned to his tent in the camp.

And all of this was seen by Zhan Chen who didn't sleep for the whole night.

He was secretly observing everything through the gaps in his tent. Although he didn't hear the conversation between the three of them, he caught a glimpse of Fan Bin's figure as he left and returned. He thought to himself: This Fan Bin left mysteriously and returned mysteriously. If he isn't going to set up another trap, then he is going to meet someone!

Spending an entire night to set up a trap, this isn't right. It is more likely that he is going to meet someone, and this person is most likely the mastermind of this conspiracy!

Zhan Chen suddenly realized: This person should be my arch-enemy — Wang Yin! Only a despicable person like him would hide behind the scenes and manipulate all of this.

Thinking up to this point, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in Zhan Chen's eyes!

At this moment, a shout came from outside: "Brother Zhan Chen, are you done? We are going to set off! "

It was Fan Bin calling him. Zhan Chen was about to explode, but he changed his mind: "Since Fan Bin wants to lure me, why don't I beat him at his own game? I will pretend to fall into his trap and meet the mastermind?"

"Wang Yin! Perhaps you think that I am still the little Martial Master that you can bully at will, but I want to use my strength to tell you that I am different today! "Zhan Chen felt a hundred times more confident at this moment.

After possessing the Tiger Roar Sword and the Metal Vital Qi, as well as learning the Golden Light Sword, he already possessed the strength to challenge a Martial Master Great Perfection expert.

Wang Yin was also an outstanding expert among the Martial Masters Great Perfection experts, but for some reason, Zhan Chen felt that he wasn't afraid of him at this moment.

"Brother Zhan, we are leaving!" At this moment, Fan Bin's voice came from outside the tent.

"Oh! I will be right there! "Zhan Chen, who had already made up his mind, replied as he opened the tent.
