With a slight ****, Zhang Shishi slowly opened his eyes, and met Qi Xiu's caring and loving eyes. Although he was very weak and could not move his fingers, he still felt a warm feeling welling up in his heart.

"Senior Brother Head..." He tried his best to spit out clear words, "The giant lizard... cough, cough... is everyone okay?"

Before he finished speaking, he fell into a violent coughing fit before he could catch a breath.

Qi Xiu's eyes were red, he helped him tuck himself in, and said with a smile: "The giant lizard has been killed by us. Everyone is fine. Fellow Daoist Yu asked a follower from [Army Station] to come and kill the giant lizard."

We made a small profit by decomposing the materials! You have been comatose for seven days, and everything is fine now. Don’t worry about it. You just need to have a good rest..." She coaxed him like a child, fed him medicine, and stayed with him.

Stay with him until he loses energy and falls asleep.

Looking at Zhang Shishi who fell into a peaceful sleep, Qi Xiu's gentle expression gradually faded away, his eyebrows slightly twisted, and he quietly exited the temporary tent. As soon as he came out, he saw Zhan Yuan standing outside waiting for him, rubbing his hands.

, pacing back and forth anxiously.

"You're here, what's wrong?" Qi Xiu saw that he was in a hurry and asked.

Zhan Yuan came forward, saw the ceremony, and said in a low voice and hastily: "It's the same thing. The monks of the Chu Youmin family are getting more and more excessive. Taking advantage of the black fog to recede, they frequently break into my Heihe territory and invite friends.

Hunting spiritual beasts. I came forward to argue, and they kept saying that this was the territory of his Chu family, and it was natural for them to come and go freely. Still\u

8bf4, it would be good to give us a place to stay. Just ask us to stay at Black River Peak and express gratitude to them for their kindness. Don’t think about anything else."

"Hey!" Qi Xiu sighed dejectedly and remained silent. After paying a huge price to kill the [Black River Lizard] seven days ago, Yu Denuo found a monk from the [Army Station] who could decompose the materials of spiritual beasts.

They helped sort out the carapace, poison sacs and other items from the corpse, and after selling it, it was a little bit of a supplement. But for some reason, the news reached the ears of the monks from the Chu Youmin family in the west, and they actually took the initiative to enter the Heihe River to hunt for spiritual beasts.

The pursuit of profit and calling for friends has become more and more intense. In the past two days, some casual cultivators have also joined in. Even next to the breeding site, monks from other families who fish in troubled waters have begun to appear.

When Zhan Yuan saw Qi Xiu looking like he had no idea, he felt even more anxious: "If we let them come and go so freely now, I'm afraid that all the things in this breeding site will be robbed by them in the future, so we have to think of a way as soon as possible!

"

Qi Xiu's expression became even more sad, and he said helplessly: "If I had a way, I would have told you a long time ago. Now that we are weak and dependent on others, I... ugh! How difficult it is!"

Reality was placed directly in front of the two of them, and they could only remain speechless. The two of them stood quietly outside the tent, staring at the unchanging scenery of the vast black swamp in the distance in a daze. The cloudy sky, dark clouds, and filthy

On the black muddy ground, there seemed to be no boundaries between heaven and earth. They were all gray and dark. Just like their current gloomy mood, the scene was even more depressing.

"How about we join Wang Chuan or Zhao Liangde?" After a long silence, Zhan Yuan suddenly uttered a sentence without any clue.

"Confused!" Qi Xiu sternly rebuked: "As long as we betray Nanchumen, we won't even have a place to stay in Heihe! Moreover, it is an act of ungratefulness. Don't mention this matter again!"

He knew what the other party was thinking. Now that Zhan Yuan was in charge of general affairs, he would inevitably interact with the monks of the Chu Youmin family of [Jiusanfang]. It was conceivable that he would inevitably suffer from their idleness. It was natural to have this thought. He also felt that what he just said was true.

It was serious, so he slowed down his tone and comforted softly: "Zhao Liangde has no intention of protecting us, Wang Zhuo has no ability to protect us, and one of them is over 150 years old, and the other is over 180 years old, they can protect us."

How long do we have? This Heihe is under the control of Nanchu Clan. The head of Nanchu Clan, Chu Hongshang, is the first generation head of Yuanying. He is only over 800 years old this year. What does this mean? This means that if nothing happens, in the

Under the stipulation that the three generations of the patriarchal system are not allowed to attack, based on the average lifespan of Nascent Soul monks of two thousand years, even a super sect like Qi Yun with god-transforming monks will not be able to touch the Nanchumen for at least 1,200 years.

It is said that it is as stable as Mount Tai. We are now like a caged bird, and we can only live this way under their arrangements. The monks of the Chu Youmin family treat us like this just because their family tradition is corrupt. It must not be the intention of Nan Chumen, otherwise they would be afraid

Why did you move us all the way here?"

"However, there is no way to continue like this! The resources in our sect's territory are being taken and requested by others. This is not an end!" Zhan Yuan said with a bitter face: "When the [Black Heart Lotus] here matures, others will come to pick it.

Should we stop them? When the [cattail, pig and fish] grow fat and big, and people come to catch them and eat them, will we stop them?"

"That's not the case... we cooperate with the Beast Control Sect for the industry here." Qi Xiu retorted hesitantly.

Zhan Yuan then asked: "Disciple, I dare to ask you, considering the character of the monk of the Chu Youmin family, you are not sure, right?"

"Hmm..." Qi Xiu thought about it carefully and realized that this was really the case. He, a monk from the Chu Youmin family, had the lower personality limit and could not guarantee anything after living next to each other for several months. "In that case... just

We need to find a way to at least prevent them from going too far, but what other way is there?" Qi Xiu held his chin and entered the long examination.

Suddenly, a petite figure in yellow palace clothes broke into Qi Xiu's mind. "Looking for her?" Qi Xiu murmured to himself, "Will it be useful?"

This thought came together, but I couldn't suppress it anymore. "She said at that time that she would go to her if anything happened. In the context at that time, it was just a polite word, right? But... it just couldn't help. Taking advantage of the end of the year

I went to see her as an excuse to maintain a foundation\u

4fee's good relationship with privates is also a good thing. I'm afraid that people won't remember me at all, which would be embarrassing. However, I already have no face and can't lose it anymore, just like the time I just boarded the giant shuttle coming from the south.

It's just being laughed at, but you won't lose a piece of your flesh." Qi Xiu was fighting fiercely in his heart, and his face became uncertain.

After thinking about it for a while, he finally made up his mind and ordered to Zhan Yuan: "I have a preliminary idea about this matter, so you don't need to worry about it yet. The wild beasts nearby have been wiped out, and Shi Shi has also woken up and is still here.

Staying here is not conducive to his recuperation, so go get ready now and we will go back to the mountain tomorrow."

"Yes." Zhan Yuan had natural confidence in Qi Xiu, and without further words, he took the order and went down to make arrangements. The next day, the entire Chu Qin Sect mobilized and carried Zhang Shishi back to the mountain gate in a relay.

The area around the breeding site has been cleared, and there is nothing more to do for the time being. No matter how busy you are, you have to wait until next year when the pig fish larvae are released. For now, you can just send people over to inspect it every once in a while. A peaceful life has returned to the Black River Peak.

However, monks from the Chu Youmin family and some bold stragglers were still running around in the Heihe River. Qi Xiu strictly ordered the Chu and Qin sect not to participate and just pretended not to see them.

When Zhang Shishi gradually improved and could stand and walk around, Qi Xiu immediately called him and Zhan Yuan into the head's inner room to explain important matters.

"I have decided to go to [Nan Chu City] in the near future." Qi Xiu said straight to the point with a straight face: "[Nan Chu City] is extremely far away from here. This time I plan to take Zhao Liangde's route to travel, and none of you will.

Don’t reveal it, not even to the disciples! Do you understand?”

Seeing that both Zhang Shishi and Zhan Yuan agreed, Qi Xiu continued: "It's almost the end of the year, and the immigration team is probably not far away from us. Zhan Yuan, you are also prepared to go over and greet them to see if they have any difficulties. Please provide more."

It must be very hard for them to move around continuously for seven months. I have already told Wang Chu that he will temporarily take in most of the people and let Qin Ji choose a dozen loyal and capable families to live on Heihe Peak.

That’s it.”

Zhan Yuan agreed, and Qi Xiu said to Zhang Shishi: "By the end of the year, if I haven't come back yet, you can make your own decision\uff

0c Ask Zhan Yuan and Yu Denuo to help you refer to it, and prepare the New Year gifts for the Wang family of [Army Station], the Chu family of [Jiu Sanfang], and the Zhao family of [Yu Beast Sect]. Don't neglect the three families.

"

Zhang Shishi's face was still very pale, but his expression was very disapproving and he replied: "The customs in southern Xinjiang are really rotten. Let's forget about the Zhao family. Wang Zhuo is a monk from Qiyun, and the Chu family is also from Qiyun. They all follow the same tricks as others, not even a little bit."

The Taoist sect has no integrity."

Qi Xiu was dumbfounded by his simple thoughts, and he advised earnestly: "Shi Shi, some things cannot be thought of so simply. In this regard, you should learn more from Zhan Yuan. In this welcoming moment, say

It’s simple to watch, and there are many things inside it. If you don’t pay attention, you may be the root of trouble.”

Zhang Shishi had no choice but to respond, but in his heart he was resentful that he had been taught a lesson for no reason. Especially when he caught a glimpse of Zhan Yuan's vaguely proud look when he looked at him, he even had bad associations. Their eyes flashed in the air.

After fighting like stone fire, they were separated at the first touch, and they all turned their faces away slightly, not showing the slightest expression.
