387: A group of old six
Since he had decided to go, Su Yongchun brought along all the preparations he had made over this time.
He reached into the corner of the room.
A piece of inner armor weighing over ten jin appeared in the light shining from outside the window.
There was also a pair of refined iron gauntlets used in conjunction with the 'Golden Stone Fist'.
All of these were crafted by Su Yongchun relying on his Perfection level Artifact Refining technique.
Although the precision was slightly worse than that blade, without exception, they were all Low Grade Mortal Weapons!
This set of equipment would likely make even those in the Casting Platform Realm covet it.
...
The snow was falling harder and harder.
Su Yongchun put on his mask, wore the refined iron gauntlets, carried the steel blade wrapped in cloth on his back, and steadily followed more than a hundred meters behind the An Ding Village Guardian Squad.
Before long.
White Shark and the other four arrived at the foot of the snow-covered deep mountain.
More than thirty people had already gathered here.
Sensing the Qi and blood of these people from afar, Su Yongchun understood that this must be the main force to exterminate the snake den.
Among them, more than twenty were in the lower three stages of Body Tempering.
In the crowd, a man wearing a sable coat with one hand behind his back caught Su Yongchun's attention for a second glance.
This was a Martial Artist in the Ning Qu Realm.
And beside this Martial Artist, two Elders at the eighth stage of Body Tempering were also worth noting.
They should be the Family head of the Yun Family in Baiyun Town and two Elders.
In the context of this world, such strength was as insignificant as dust.
But in this place, the Yun Family had at least a hundred years of heritage; excluding the County, among the surrounding Towns, the Yun Family had the most profound foundation.
And among this group, White Shark, the pride of the entire village, seemed rather unremarkable.
Seeing that these people had not set off yet, it seemed they were still waiting for someone.
Large snowflakes were falling.
Su Yongchun had only been observing from a distance for a while before he was already covered by the heavy snow.
Cold air permeated the surroundings.
However, for him, being at the ninth stage of Body Tempering with Qi and blood like a rainbow, this cold air was not worth mentioning.
He didn't wait long.
From further away, a burly man in a black coat, followed by a group of Martial Artists, gathered over.
The distance was a bit far, so Su Yongchun could not hear their conversation.
But it was probably just some greetings.
That burly man in the black robe was a Martial Artist at the ninth stage of Body Tempering.
His Aura was much weaker than the Yun Family head, so he should be the head of the Heihu Family from Heiyun Town, who had been stuck at the Peak of Body Tempering for over ten years.
There were only four or five local Families, so they were not hard to recognize.
One in the Ning Qu Realm, one at the Peak of Body Tempering, five or six high-stage Body Tempering, and the remaining thirty or forty were all Martial Artists who had stepped into Body Tempering.
Such a lineup could be considered luxurious for this small place.
It seemed there would be no benefits to be reaped from this trip.
Unless there was some unexpected turn of events.
While he was pondering to himself, the group in the distance had already marched into the deep mountains with high Aura.
After thinking about it, Su Yongchun still intended to follow and take a look.
Being at the Peak of Body Tempering, added to a Cultivation Technique and equipment that even a Ning Qu Realm Martial Artist would covet, he could be considered to have some strength.
In this situation, there was no need to be overly timid.
However.
Just as Su Yongchun was about to get up.
He suddenly heard two sinister voices emerging from behind him.
"Hehehe, they have entered the mountain, let's catch up quickly."
"What's the rush? That snake demon is not simple. Let's wait for those two Family heads and the snake demon to fight until both sides are severely injured, then we can take it all in one bite. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
The two men sneered while dashing into the deep mountains.
Looking at the few footprints nearby, Su Yongchun slowly exhaled the breath he had been holding for a long time.
Besides those Martial Artists besieging the snake den, there were others who wanted to be the oriole behind the mantis stalking the cicada!
Fortunately, the heavy snow had covered his figure, and combined with the heavy snowfall, those two had not noticed him.
However, in the next moment, Su Yongchun saw another figure cautiously walking into the mountain forest from the foot of the mountain.
Another sneaky bastard!
No, not just one!
With Su Yongchun holding his breath and watching, within the time it takes to burn an incense stick, not including the first three, another five people successively poured into this mountain!
After discovering each other, these people did not make a sound, as if they had some kind of tacit understanding.
Good grief.
Without the suppression of a protagonist's low-intelligence halo, these people had all become cunning old foxes.
Letting those in front fight, while they watched from behind for a chance to pick up the scraps.
Su Yongchun cursed.
He also followed the group.
However, he did not expose his position.
Stepping into the mountain.
Su Yongchun looked at the conspicuous footprints in the snow in the forest, moved his body, and activated his Butterfly Trace Steps.
Like a nimble butterfly, he silently stepped on tree branches, traveling through the forest.
...
"Family Head Heihu, when we meet the snake demon later, do not hold anything back."
"Only after we join forces to kill the snake demon can we share the Treasure Trove, right?"
The Bai Family head walked steadily, looking at the Heihu Family head, his words carrying a hint of a warning.
"Hehehe, Family Head Bai is right. This time, I even brought the ancestral Mortal Weapon of the Heihu Family." As the Heihu Family head spoke, he patted the axe at his waist, but a strange meaning emerged in his eyes.
"A Mortal Weapon." Glancing at the one-handed axe at the Heihu Family head's waist, a moment of greed flashed in the eyes of the Baiyun Family head.
The Heihu Family, all this time, actually did not deserve to be called a Family.
Because the strongest in their Family was only at the Peak of Body Tempering; they didn't even have a single expert in the Ning Qu Realm.
The reason they were still recognized by everyone.
Was because of that indestructible Mortal Weapon!
This weapon boosted the Heihu Family head's strength, allowing him to directly contend with ordinary Ning Qu Realm Martial Artists!
After the Heihu Family head's response, the Baiyun Family head said nothing more.
The time it takes for an incense stick to burn passed in the hazy heavy snow.
"We are here."
Walking at the very front, the Baiyun Family head raised his hand to signal everyone to stop.
And at this moment.
In front of everyone's view was a small river; at the lower end of the river, the surface of the sea was faintly visible.
And by this river, there was a cave scattered with rotten white bones.
The two Family heads looked at each other at this moment.
The Baiyun Family head turned to look at the people behind: "Everyone, this snake den is a major scourge to our surrounding villages and Towns!"
"Now that the great scourge is right before our eyes, those of you willing to eliminate the harm for the people, please follow me to step into the snake den!"
The Baiyun Family head's words were full of heroic spirit.
The crowd behind them was filled with hot blood: "Flatten the snake den, eliminate the harm for the people! Flatten the snake den, eliminate the harm for the people!"
As they spoke, everyone swarmed into the snake den!
And the two Family heads, during the movement, intentionally controlled their pace to walk in the middle to the back of the crowd.
There was nothing unusual for the first ten meters in the cave.
It was just a smell of decay that made one feel uncomfortable, and the gradually thickening darkness blocked the light from outside.
Continuing forward for dozens of meters.
The temperature in the cave was no longer as cold as it was outside.
Feeling this change, the two Family heads and several Family Elders looked at each other with a hint of gravity.
There are snakes!
Several Martial Artists at the first or second stage of Body Tempering who were keeping alert in front suddenly stopped.
This was a coiled cobra.
It looked like it was hibernating.
"Continue moving." The Bai Family head looked around vigilantly, not forgetting to say to the people in front.
