Chapter 12 Return

Stepping into the family hall, Chen Zong keenly felt that the atmosphere seemed to be a little different.

It seems a little more heavy.

It seems that there is more urgency.

Walking to the underground courtyard, I also met some clan disciples. They looked at their own eyes, first surprised, then startled.

"Brother Chen clan..." When he walked to the front of the house, a voice sounded behind him, his voice trembling, and he seemed to be excited by surprises.

"Brother Chen Clan." Chen Zong looked back and smiled.

"Clan brother, it's really you, you're still alive...it's great...you're still alive..." Chen Zhong was so excited that he was incoherent: "The elders went into the mountains to look for you, but they didn't find you, and they thought you were dead. Longshan is..."

"I'm still alive." Chen Zong said in a positive tone with a smile, and Chen Zhong slowly calmed down.

"Go, go to the main hall to meet the elders." Chen Zhong grabbed Chen Zong's sleeve and said hurriedly.

"Brother, don't be in a hurry, I'll put the things away first." Chen Zong said, lifting the heavy burden on his body. Fortunately, the key to the house was not lost.

...

Walking with Chen Zhong towards the main hall of the clan hall, following Chen Zhong's words, Chen Zong's face was cold and his heart was heavy.

I didn't expect that the loss would be so serious after the separation that day, but perhaps, it was already expected.

The Chen Family Tiewei is indeed very strong, and the elder who sits in the mine camp is indeed very strong, but there are too many monsters, and finally a third-level monster appeared, and the strength is even more terrifying.

However, the elder and the thirty Chen family iron guards all died because of this, Deacon Chen Shaojie broke his arm, and four of the clan disciples were missing. At present, he is the only one who has returned. The other three are in places like Fulong Mountain.

"What about the current mine?" Chen Zong asked.

"It is said that there is another Iron Guard guarding again and continuing to mine iron ore." Chen Zhong said.

That ore vein is very important to the Chen family, and there is no room for it to be lost. There is still a considerable part that has not been mined, so it is impossible to give up.

Walking into the main hall, one after another, eyes immediately fell on Chen Zong's face. First, he was stunned, and then, the ecstasy that could not be concealed spread like sparks from the bottom of his eyes.

"Chen Zong..."

"Chen Zong, you are still alive."

"I knew that you little guy has a lot of luck."

The three elders were stunned for a while, and then spoke out one after another.

"Elder Wei, Elder Xing, Elder Li..." Chen Zong saluted: "I made you worry."

"It's the best to be able to come back." Elder Xing smiled with a smile on his face.

"For more than a month, you have been in Fulong Mountain?" Elder Wei asked after staring at Chen Zong.

"Yes, I got lost in the mountains. I was lucky." Chen Zong responded with a smile. Only he knew the difficulties and dangers involved. However, he also grew up, got opportunities, and became stronger because of this. There is no need to go into detail.

"You are the first one who can survive in Fulong Mountain for more than a month and come out intact with the fifth-layer Qi and Blood Realm." Elder Li also laughed.

"Just come back." Elder Xing sighed and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Just now outside of the city, the young gang leader of the Drizzle Gang and a few gang members wanted to kill me, but I killed me instead. I don't know if it will cause trouble for the family," Chen Zong said.

"The Drizzle Gang... it's just a small gang, and it dares to take action against you. If you kill it, you will kill it. If my Chen family doesn't go to trouble it, it dares to come and provoke it." Elder Xing smiled coldly.

"You don't have to pay attention to this matter, just practice well, and the Drizzle Gang is not too troublesome." Elder Wei also said.

Chen Zong nodded, immediately thought of something, and said again: "By the way, three elders, I met a very strange person in Fulong Mountain."

"What kind of strange method?" Elder Li asked with a smile.

Chen Zong explained the black shadow he encountered in the cave in detail, and saw that the faces of the three elders were full of solemnity and horror.

"Could it be that the legend is true..." Elder Li seemed to be muttering to himself.

"Chen Zong, you know that our era is called the Zhenwu era, and the previous era is called the kingdom era.

"Elder Wei said, and Chen Zong nodded.

"The kingdom era was destroyed by monsters, but there is a rumor that the reason why monsters gathered from the mountains to invade the kingdom was led by someone, and the leader was the Black Demon Gate."

"Black Demon Gate?" Chen Zong, the first to hear these three words, suddenly felt a palpitating feeling, as if it was a very terrifying existence.

"The Black Demon Gate, the most powerful force in the entire Eastern Continent, cannot be compared to any of the three kingdoms in the Kingdom Age. The Black Demon Gate is determined to destroy the three kingdoms and then control the Eastern Continent."

Chen Zong was terrified in his heart.

The most powerful force on the Eastern Continent, this statement is terrifying, so, does the Black Demon Gate have anything to do with the half-human, half-snake monster you encountered?

Could it be that the monster is the doorman of the Black Demon Sect?

One question after another popped out of his mind.

"In the end, the three kingdoms were destroyed, but their desperate counterattack also caused heavy losses to the Black Demon Sect and the monster army. Finally, it is said that the remaining warriors after the disintegration of the three kingdoms gathered to repel the Black Demon Sect. Without escaping into the mountain of beasts, the remaining monsters were gradually cleaned up. In order to resist the invasion of monsters, martial cities were built in the hands of the surviving people, and martial arts exercises were also passed down, so that more people could Cultivating to become a martial artist also symbolizes the arrival of the era of true martial arts."

Chen Zong suddenly realized that these contents were not comprehensively recorded in the books he had read before, especially about the Black Demon Gate.

"The people in the Black Demon Gate are all monsters?" Chen Zong asked.

"We don't know much about the Black Demon Sect. After all, it has disappeared for hundreds of years. We just know that the warriors of the Black Demon Sect, known as demon warriors, are often stronger than warriors with the same cultivation, and they can still use An ability called demonization, which makes oneself half-human and half-monster beast even more terrifying." Elder Wei finally said.

"So, the half-human, half-snake monster I encountered was indeed a demon warrior from the Black Demon Sect." Chen Zong felt inexplicably heavy.

"I remember, Shao Jie said that the night when the monsters attacked the camp, a mysterious shadow sneaked into the camp, was found when he left, and was slapped. Could it be the one that Chen Zong encountered? Demon warrior?" Elder Xing raised his brows and exclaimed.

"Anyway, this news is very important. It must be uploaded to the family immediately, and then the family will pass it on to other families. Be alert." Elder Wei said: "Chen Zong, you can know about this matter yourself. Don't spread it out first. to avoid unnecessary panic.”

"Yes." Chen Zong nodded.

The three elders had important matters to deal with. Chen Zong said goodbye and left, put them back in the house, took out some herbs and monster materials and three foundation-building martial arts from the baggage, came to the main department again, and walked into the Tibetan martial arts building. .

The three foundation building martial arts, the clan hall did not have any, if you donate it, Chen Zong will get 500 contribution points, and then go to the task room, the task of guarding the mines is interrupted halfway, you can't get the contribution points, but you will not be punished. On the other hand, for the quests of herbs and monster materials, after Chen Zong handed over the quest items, the contribution points increased sharply.

In the end, Chen Zong got more than 1,500 contribution points, adding up to more than 2,000.

You don't need to practice the exercises.

Human-level middle-grade or even higher-grade swordsmanship is not needed for the time being.

I still have some pills in my hands, and I don't need them for the time being.

These contribution points are saved first.

"I wonder if I can find the three prescriptions needed for physical exercise?" With doubts, Chen Zong went to the pill pill room.

But unfortunately, there are not many medicinal materials in the pill pill room, even if it is the medicinal materials needed for the first prescription, only half of them can be collected.

"Physical training requires a corresponding prescription, otherwise the effect will be minimal."

"I need to gather many medicinal materials on the prescription, and I also need a relatively good environment to make the ointment."

"it's time."

Chen Zong raised his sword and walked towards the main hall again.

There will be at least one person in the main hall, either an elder or a deacon.

Chen Zong applied to challenge Chen He, the second in the elite area, and Chen Xia, the first. Because Chen Xia's courtyard used to be Chen Chuyun's residence, and it was also the place where he trained the four key points of swordsmanship. After Chen Chuyun left, Chen Zong had the idea of ​​living in again, and today, it will finally come true.

These challenges are not child's play, they must be applied for, and then arranged by the clan hall, held under the witness of the deacon or elders of the clan hall, and there is no cheating.

As for challenging Chen He, it was purely a counterattack by Chen Zong.

Chen He couldn't be allowed to trouble himself again and again, but he was indifferent.

"The challenged needs to be notified first, and then you will be notified of the challenge time." The deacon has a friendly attitude: "If you are named the challenger to go out, you can choose to challenge other people or live in the challenged's courtyard first. But they will not enjoy the treatment of elite children, and when the challenged comes back to fight, if they can defeat the opponent, the resources they should have will be made up."

"I see, please deacon." Chen Zong bowed and said goodbye.

Looking at the sky, there is still some time before the evening, why don't you go to Dingtian Pavilion.

"Before going to Dingtian Pavilion, take all the jade coins and herbs with you." Chen Zong returned to the house, put away the black iron piece, took the treasure-tie-level short knife, and left the clan hall with a burden on his back.

According to what Elder Wei said, Dingtian Pavilion is open all over the martial cities, so the power should be very large. However, Dingtian Pavilion does not compete for hegemony, but only deals in business. Then, I may be able to find a training exercise in Dingtian Pavilion. Various medicinal herbs.

"I can also see if there are treasures in Dingtian Pavilion that can restore daddy's qi and blood." Chen Zong secretly said, his eyes lit up, and his heart was hot.

Hearing Elder Wei's words that day, Chen Zong realized that it is more difficult than he imagined to restore his father's cultivation. With his own ability, he may be able to do it in the future, but his blood-depleted father's health is getting worse and worse. , the longer the delay, the worse it will be.

The Dingtian Pavilion is now a place of hope.
