Not long after Nathan Ackerman returned to Eagle Mountain, the herb collection teams came back one after another. It seemed that the harvest was pretty good, and everyone had a smile on their face. The disciples responsible for guarding also got some advantages and were given a few low-grade spiritual grasses.
No one paid attention to Nathan Ackerman, and Nathan Ackerman was too lazy to pay attention to them. He sat by the iron bucket, gnawed dry food, and admired the beautiful scenery of Yunluo Forest.
That night, 11 of the 15 herb collection teams came back, and four others had not returned, including Julian and Cynthia Levy who would never come back.
Collecting herbs is always accompanied by danger, and every disciple must be mentally prepared. There were also casualties among the eleven returning teams. Nine disciples were killed in the forest, and their bodies could not be recovered.
"Cynthia Levy hasn't come back yet? Who is she with?"
"I remember it was with Julian."
"Our senior brother Julian is still happy. He collects herbs and is accompanied by a beautiful woman. I think he didn't come back on purpose. One more day together is a day, haha."
"Just wait a little longer, I should be back soon."
At night, a bonfire was lit on the top of the mountain, and the Yaoshan disciples gathered alone to count the harvest of each group. They came out with a mission, and they had to take back at least ten baht for the middle-grade spiritual grass, preferably up to the roots, and at least one hundred baht for the low-grade spiritual grass and spiritual fruit. If you fail to meet the requirements, you will be punished when you return. If you exceed the task, you will receive a special reward.
The guardian disciples gathered together to talk, laugh, and enjoy a delicious dinner. A female disciple greeted Nathan Ackerman with a smile: "Hey, Nathan Ackerman, come and sit down?"
Nathan Ackerman opened his eyes half asleep, shook his head and continued to be confused.
"We are very curious about how you broke through to the Lingwu realm. Come and tell us. I'll reward you with a piece of meat." A male disciple also shouted to Nathan Ackerman.
"Are you really at the third level of spiritual martial arts? Are you interested in sparring with me? I promise you won't do anything heavy-handed."
"Come on, let me give you a seat."
"I'm very interested in this kid. A young city lord has been a servant for eight years. He is really tolerant. Do you think he is really free and easy, or is he mentally dark and holding back his energy to seek revenge in the future?"
"It's hard to say. Hey, Nathan Ackerman, come here and ask you something. Do you hate Qingyun Sect?"
A group of disciples became interested and greeted Nathan Ackerman one after another.
Nathan Ackerman tugged at the corner of his mouth, smiled silently, stood up and straightened his clothes. People thought he was going to do it, but he walked directly down to the top of the mountain and went to rest somewhere else.
The next day, a herb collection team came back, but Julian team and the other two teams were still not there.
Some disciples began to feel uneasy, some stayed and continued to wait, and some went to the nearby mountains to search.
After searching for two days and two nights, they actually found several corpses. They were the guardian disciples of one of the groups. Only small parts of the body were left, and their original appearance could not be seen. But the other herb collection team and Julian team still found it, not even the body.
"Did they get killed?" They had to think about the worst. Could it be that they encountered a mercenary team and were robbed and killed? Or was he being hunted by spirit monsters?
Under normal circumstances, the mercenary team would not dare to provoke the disciples of the Qingyun Sect, but exceptions cannot be ruled out.
If you are unfortunate enough to encounter a powerful spirit demon, you may also be killed.
In the past, this kind of situation often happened when collecting medicine, but in recent years, through the frequent intimidation of the elders, it rarely happened.
This time, three groups were killed at once, which made all the disciples very uneasy, especially since Cynthia Levy, a special direct disciple, was among them.
They didn't dare to give up easily, so they spread out and continued searching for two days. We really found the corpses of another group of herb collectors. We couldn't tell whether they were hunted by spirit monsters or mercenaries. In the end, we found the corpses of the 'double-knife disciples' in Julian group.
………………
Three days later, the medicine collection team returned to Qingyun Sect and brought back many elixirs and news of the deaths of Cynthia Levy and others.
No one doubted Nathan Ackerman, because outsiders didn't know the grudge between Zhao Min and Nathan Ackerman, let alone Nathan Ackerman's strength.
The first thing Nathan Ackerman did when he returned to Qingyun Sect was to go to the cliff next to the medicine mountain to see if the snake heart fruit was still there.
The cliffs are covered with green vines, and the thick vine leaves are full of green. There are many poisonous snakes and pythons hidden inside.
The snake nut is still there, hiding in a hidden corner.
The Shura sword in the air sea vibrated again, and a misty black mist filled the air, covering the air sea and spreading silently, seeming to remind Nathan Ackerman.
Nathan Ackerman suddenly felt a little strange. Why did Shura Sword make him wary of golden snakes? This didn't happen when I encountered other powerful spirit monsters in the forest.
The golden snake appeared again, wrapped around the snake heart fruit, and swallowed the red snake letter towards Nathan Ackerman.
Nathan Ackerman stared at it for a while, then suddenly summoned two flying knives and struck the golden snake with his hand.
The flying knife was powerful and turned rapidly, creating a roaring wind.
The golden snake opened its mouth and spat out two rays of golden light. It intercepted it accurately and made two crisp sounds. The golden light shattered the flying knife, and large pieces of small pieces scattered all over the sky.
"hiss!!"
The golden snake's whole body flashed with golden light, and it spat out the snake letter towards Nathan Ackerman, seeming very angry.
Nathan Ackerman squinted his eyes and watched without saying a word, then drew out the flying knife again, this time with all his strength, shooting in a straight line, as fast as thunder.
The golden snake hissed, sprayed out dazzling golden light, intercepted it in the air, and shattered the flying knife again.
However, this time the flying knife obviously pushed forward a short distance against the golden light before being shattered.
Nathan Ackerman had a plan in mind. He was no match for the Golden Snake now and would come back another day. He retreated into the jungle and followed the rough path back to the warehouse.
He first cleared the weeds and fallen leaves from the solitary grave in the courtyard, watered the magnolia flowers there, and then hid in the back mountain and began to study the Purple Lightning Crazy Snake in earnest.
Nathan Ackerman has a strong understanding, otherwise he would not be able to figure out the first three stages of King Kong Jin by himself.
Although the Purple Lightning Crazy Snake is complicated, it cannot defeat him.
At night, Nathan Ackerman was engrossed in his research, when suddenly there was chaos in the warehouse.
Alexander Levy broke into the warehouse angrily and shouted Nathan Ackerman's name loudly: "Get out! Nathan Ackerman, get out of here!"
While shouting, he smashed things in the warehouse, like a crazy wild dog, making random crackling noises.
"Nathan Ackerman! Get out of here, or I'll burn your warehouse down!"
"Get out! Get out of here!"
Alexander Levy hands were burning with flames and he shouted hoarsely. His eyes were bloodshot and his expression was ferocious.
"What do you want from me?"Nathan Ackerman pushed open the iron door and frowned at the messy yard.
"Nathan Ackerman! Where is my sister!"Alexander Levy pointed at Nathan Ackerman and shouted.
"died."
"Why did he die? Was it you!"Alexander Levy lost control of his emotions and shouted regardless.
"Be careful what you say."
"It's you! It must be you! My sister went to kill you. You should be the one who died in the forest. Why are you back? Ah, answer me. Why are you back? Where is my sister!"
Nathan Ackerman laughed angrily: "Killing me is just right? Should I die?"
"You deserve to die, you deserve to die! Tell me, what happened in the forest?"Alexander Levy eyes were red. When he heard the news of his sister's death, he almost collapsed. His talent was average, and his current status was all due to his sister, who was also his support. Suddenly, he died?
Alexander Levy couldn't accept it at all. The reason why his sister went to participate in the medicinal collection operation was actually to vent her bad temper and find opportunities in the forest to kill Nathan Ackerman. If she couldn't kill him, she would be destroyed. However, it was Nathan Ackerman who came back, and his sister died inexplicably.
No one doubted that Nathan Ackerman did it, but he was very sure that it was related to Nathan Ackerman.
"You should be glad that you didn't join the herb collection team."Nathan Ackerman snorted coldly, the two siblings have the same virtue!
"It's you! It's you indeed! Tell me what happened! Tell me! Is my sister dead or not, you bastard."Alexander Levy rushed towards Nathan Ackerman like crazy.
Nathan Ackerman grabbed his neck and held it high in the air: "You should thank me. If it weren't for me, your sister would have died miserably."
Alexander Levy struggled violently: "What did you do to my sister!"
"Dead!"Nathan Ackerman pinched him and threw him away, sneering: "If your sister came back alive and I died in the forest, would you drink and celebrate?"Nathan Ackerman eyes were cold.
Alexander Levy struggled to get up: "Nathan Ackerman! You must die a good death! My sister is Master Fraucia most beloved disciple. If you kill her, Master Fraucia will not spare you."
"Don't be slanderous. I didn't admit to killing anyone. Besides, why should I kill your sister?"Nathan Ackerman asked him.
"You understand!"
"Haha, I don't quite understand."
"My sister, Yaoshan Julian, and the other three disciples will definitely die in your hands. Nathan Ackerman, you will die miserably. We will see."Alexander Levy left angrily.
Nathan Ackerman stretched out his hand to stop him: "I'll give you a word, murderers will always be killed. You should take care of yourself."
"Get out of the way! I will definitely avenge my sister!"Alexander Levy pushed Nathan Ackerman shoulder away and turned back again and again before leaving, looking at Nathan Ackerman with resentment in his eyes.
