Prince Merry

The City Lord's Mansion dealt with several people without causing any waves in Lianzhou.

Early the next morning, Xie Jiusi was ready to go and organized a survey team to go to the forest.

Before leaving, Qin Zizhen stared at him with resentment in his eyes: "Daughter-in-law—"

The corner of Xie Jiusi's lips twitched, and he turned his face away.

"Daughter-in-law." Qin Zizhen's expression was innocent, and his behavior was very rascal, holding on to his lover and not letting go.

Xie Jiusi glanced at him and said calmly, "Wait for me to come back."

Qin Zizhen pursed his lips, snorted twice to express his dissatisfaction with desire, and secretly scolded King Pingxi a hundred times in his heart, blaming that old bastard, which made Xiao Jiu not let him do this and that last night.

Not far away, the soldiers of the survey team were whispering. Although their voices were very small, how could they hide from Xie Jiusi's sharp eyes and ears.

"I bet ten taels of silver, the city owner must have been kicked out of bed by his wife last night."

"I bet 15 taels, the city lord will definitely kiss his wife later."

"Who will go up and who will go down, the city lord and his wife?"

"Nonsense, don't you need to talk about it? Madam is easy to overthrow when she sees that she is gentle and elegant."

"Shh—quiet."

Xie Jiusi's expression was cracked, and his beautiful eyes were blazing.

Qin Zizhen felt a little guilty, and said with an apologetic smile, "Actually, I don't mind you being on top."

Xie Jiusinu, the top is indeed the top, but unfortunately it is not that top.

Qin Zizhen hugged him with a smile, Xiao Jiu may not have noticed, but he could feel that Xiao Jiu is now more lively than before, and his expression is no longer the usual smile.

With a dark face, Xie Jiusi struggled a few times, but did not break free from his embrace, so he could only say helplessly: "Okay, I'll be back in a few days, someone is here, behave yourself."

Qin Zizhen accepted him as soon as he saw it, and kissed him with a smile in his eyes: "Follow my wife."

Xie Jiusi glared at him, and his expression softened. In fact, he was not very angry at first. He didn't let Ah Zhen touch him last night because he was afraid that he would be unrestrained. He wanted to continue to hang him out for a few more days, but who knows that this guy is such a rascal, what harmed him? The tricks are useless.

The wife stopped being angry, and Qin Zizhen became overbearing: "Come back earlier, and bring a few more people with you, up to five days, if you don't come back, I will arrest you."

Xie Jiusi was speechless, and his chest hurt with anger. He knew that he should not forgive Ah Zhen easily, and he had to wait for him to come back.

The guards of the survey team joked, "Don't worry, the city lord, we promise to send the lady back safe and sound."

"Not a single strand of hair will be missing."

Qin Zizhen spread a big smile, Xie Jiusi glanced over coldly, looked at the loudest person, it seemed that he was very happy to win 15 taels of silver.

Wang Hua shuddered, inexplicably having a bad premonition, and he didn't know until he went to the mountains that his wife would be merciless in revenge.

Xie Jiusi walked over: "Are you a fire-type supernatural power?"

Wang Hua was taken aback: "Yes!"

Xie Jiusi nodded: "Very good!"

What's the matter, Wang Hua's scalp is numb, and before he can react, Xie Jiusi has already led people to set off, Qin Zizhen secretly rejoices, Wang Hua is simply too powerful, his wife diverted the firepower, he is very happy.

As a result, the dignified fire-type supernatural being was exhausted along the way.

Due to time constraints, Xie Jiusi actually didn't bother him on purpose, but he took a bath more often and was picky when eating. As a good general, he would naturally not treat the members of the team badly. There are 25 people in the survey team. Wang Hua did all the work of cooking, eating, lighting a fire, and boiling water.

The mountain is the barrier of Lianzhou. Qin Zizhen had planted explosives before and made many traps. After the spies from various countries suffered, this place has become a forbidden area, and no one dared to go deep into it for a long time.

A group of people came to the foot of the mountain forest quickly, and walked slowly along the winding and rugged mountain road.

In the mountain forest, the towering ancient trees shade the sun, and the lush trees cover most of the sunlight. Only the mottled and sparse light shines in through the branches and leaves of the trees.

In the distance, the high mountains are towering and emerald, and the flowers and plants are vying for beauty nearby.

The scenery in the mountains and forests is very beautiful, and there is a sense of tranquility everywhere, which is so beautiful that it makes people yearn for it.

Xie Jiusi frowned, and looked around warily. There was something wrong everywhere in the mountains and forests. The flowers, plants and trees were so dense that it made one's heart shudder. The scenery was as beautiful as a painting, but without any sense of reality.

"Young Master, be careful." The guards raised their vigilance and were not shaken by the beautiful scenery in front of them.

The voice just fell!

"Whoosh-"

A thick vine seemed to be alive, and quickly entangled from the ground.

Liu Cheng had sharp eyesight and quick hands, raised his sword and waved it, and the vines snapped off.

"Swish!"

Numerous vines drilled out of the ground, and there was a faint fishy smell in the wind. The vines were shiny green, and the sawtooth on the leaves seemed to have opened up sharp minions.

"Retreat first." Xie Jiusi calmly ordered.

The squad is well-trained and quickly stands to safety, just standing firm.

"Zhizhi——" A gluttonous squirrel was caught by a vine, and its flesh was bloody instantly. The branches and leaves of the vine opened and closed, and within a short while, only a pile of bones remained on the ground.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Xie Jiusi vaguely felt that the vine that swallowed the squirrel seemed to grow stronger.

"This is……"

The guards gasped. Since vines can eat living things, can they also eat people?

Xie Jiusi glanced at Wang Hua: "Go."

Wang Hua was overjoyed, he was so moved that he was about to fly, and finally he could do his business. He cooked and boiled water all day long, and he felt that he was about to become a hot worker.

Trees are afraid of fire, Wang Hua stepped forward and was swept by a fire dragon, and the vines touched the fire, as if they had encountered something terrible, "swish, swish, swish", and disappeared without a trace in just a blink of an eye.

The crowd was speechless, and Xie Jiusi was in a heavy heart. If he was right, the mutation of the vines should be related to the seeds Ah Zhen planted in the forest.

"What, it's really evil." Zhang Guoyu searched around, but he couldn't find the source of the vines.

Liu Cheng thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "No problem, this is a mountain forest, vines are good at hiding, since you can't find it, just set it on fire."

Zhang Liangbai glanced at him, and set fire to the forest. He was afraid that this forest would burn down and the mutated plants would still exist.

Xie Jiusi sighed, looking into the mountains and forests: "Forget it, the wild fire is endless, the spring breeze blows and regenerates, and the vines are not irresistible, let it go."

Liu Cheng thought about it for a while, and then laughed: "That's good, there is no need to garrison the mountains, and we will see who dares to commit crimes in the future."

"These plants alone are enough for the enemy to eat a pot."

"We have a mountain as a barrier, isn't Lianzhou impenetrable?"

The guards were overjoyed and chattered.

Xie Jiusi said: "When we go back, we will issue an order that ordinary people are not allowed to enter the mountains and forests."

Zhang Liang nodded and smiled: "It's just that there are some strange things in the mountains and forests, we still have to find out first."

Xie Jiusi nodded: "That's natural." The so-called danger can only be used if it is completely in your own hands, and the same is true for mutated plants.

The group rested for a while, and then continued to go deep into the forest.

The deeper they went, the more mutated plants they encountered, and they became more cautious along the way.

On the third day, they finally saw the mutated animals, the fight between the rabbit and the tiger, which refreshed everyone's three views again, and made them speechless.

At noon that day, everyone was preparing to take a rest, when the sound of fighting suddenly came from a distance, a group of people ran over to have a look.

A half-human-tall rabbit, spitting out raging fire, was fighting a tiger on equal terms.

The rabbit's teeth were sharp, and the two front teeth were shining with a cold light. After the rabbit spewed out a mouthful of fire, it kicked its hind legs and rushed towards the tiger. The sharp teeth pierced the tiger's flesh.

The tiger was in pain, as if extremely angry, it was actually injured by a tiny creature, the tiger let out a long roar, swung its tail back, rolled up the rabbit, and opened its bloody mouth to bite it.

The rabbit squeaked anxiously, and a ball of fire rushed over. The tiger was not in a hurry to dodge, its huge body paused slightly, and the rabbit took advantage of the gap to flee quickly.

A group of people waited for a long time to see each other.

After all, the tiger is the king of the forest, and he is also an excellent hunter. After a while, the rabbit was finally defeated. The fire that spewed out was obviously weakened, and he was about to die. At this moment...

The rabbit suddenly ran into the jungle at an incredible speed. How could the tiger allow the prey to escape, and with a cry of "ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" and fiercely chasing after it.

The rabbit went straight to the destination, bit a piece of orchid grass, and swallowed it quickly.At this time the tiger had already caught up, and the rabbit seemed to be resurrected with full blood. When it turned around, it was another raging fire, and it quickly bit the tiger.

The rabbit died anyway, although it breathed fire, but for a herbivore, fighting is not its forte.

Of course, it wasn't easy for the tiger to win. If the rabbit hadn't run out of power and there were no orchid grass around, maybe the rabbit and the tiger would still have a chance to fight.

The tiger bit off the rabbit's neck, and it was already panting from exhaustion.

Next is to enjoy the gluttonous feast.

A group of people carefully observed the tiger eating without disturbing it. They came to the forest this time to investigate the situation and observe the abnormalities in the forest. Although the tiger is a good prey, there is no need to hunt it.

Everyone held their breath and quietly hid in the jungle.

The tiger ate quickly, chewing big mouthfuls, even the rabbit's bones were not spared.

"Crack!" With a sound, the tiger seemed to have bitten something hard.

A fiery red crystal popped out of the rabbit's head.

Xie Jiusi shrank his pupils and his expression became serious. He remembered that Ah Zhen had shown him something like this.

Thinking about it, the tiger had already eaten, and the crystal nucleus was swallowed by it as a bone. After a full meal, the tiger was full of energy, and even the wound seemed to heal a little.

Soon, the tiger swaggered away.

A group of people came out, Zhang Guoyu quickly checked around, then shook his head in disappointment: "There are no orchid grasses around."

Xie Jiusi's eyes dimmed: "Don't worry, we will always meet in front, pick some more later and go back to study."

"Yes!" Liu Cheng's eyes lit up. If Orchid Grass really has the effect of restoring supernatural powers, it would be a great joy for them.
