Chapter 14: Blood Flower (1)
Qin Ming was carefully searching in the forest, he tried to move about in the more hidden areas. His understanding was not on par with the Medicinal Mountain disciple Qiao Chen, and they would not be so careless like last time, they may have thought of some idea to harm him, if he was not careful, he might just fall into a trap.
But the forest was filled with danger, no matter how safe Qin Ming tried to be, he was still attacked a few times by Spirit Monsters. One of the time, while Qin Ming was running from a White Cloud Leopard, a black eagle appeared from the sky, smashing through the branches, and straight towards him, its black claw almost latched onto his neck.
On his journey, he couldn’t find any trace of Zhao Ming and her group after two days two night, but he did meet a few groups of disciples, gathering medicine herbs.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Qin Ming always avoid them.
The medicine herb gathering activity only last for half a month, with a limited time, so he needs to resolve it quickly. If Zhao Ming gathered all the medicine gathering team, and work together to surround him, the chance of him living would be lesser.
On the third day afternoon, Qin Ming dug out a wild ginseng by luck, it was as thick as a carrot, under the sunlight, you could see clear patterns. It should be a stalk of Spiritual Herb, it might not be at middle grade, but it would be the best in the lower grade.
“Shashasha….”
The wet forest in front emitted strange noise, Qin Ming kept the wild ginseng, and looked up, only to suck in a deep breath.
It was actually a group of Red-eyed Spiders.
Every spider was as big as a calf, looking very shocking, their whole body was black, with a cold glint, its two eyes were blood red, looking very eye catching in the forest. Their eight legs was like a straight spear, thick and powerful.
One or two Red-eyed Spiders aren’t scary, whats scary was a group of at thirty or fifty, trying to find food in the forest.
This place seems to be their territory.
Qin Ming tried to stop himself from making any noise, as he slowly walked back.
Luckily, the Red-eyed Spiders didn’t discover him, and was currently ‘ taking a walk’ lazily.
“Where did Zhao Ming go to? Could they have went to find other medicine gathering team?”
Qin Ming solemnly walked into the forest, stopping once a while, to take note of the surrounding.
Suddenly, he smelled a faint b.l.o.o.d.y scent, coming from somewhere in front.
“How could it be him?”
Qin Ming hid in the crown of a tree, staring in front.
Under a old tree, sat a guy covered in blood, his face filled with horror, his empty eyes stared in front.
It was the elite disciple in Qiao Chen’s team.
“What happened?” Qin MIng only carefully walked towards it after checking the surrounding for any danger.
Without adoubt, it was the male disciple, he was not dead for long, as his body is still bleeding.
The surroundings have obvious fighting marks, but it wasn’t big, it seems like the fight ended very quickly.
“Why did he die here, did Qiao Chen kill him, or….” Qin Ming suddenly noticed that there was blood trials in front, going into the forest, he held onto his Overflowing ancient sword tightly and walked forward slowly, following the fresh bloods on the ground, going forward, just as he pa.s.sed the stream, he discovered a set of messy footprints.
At this moment, Qin Ming heard screaming, and unbridled laughter.
Qin Ming creased his brows, as he followed the blood trail.
There was a quiet mountain valley in front, and there is a lot of flowers there, giving out a scent, there is also a few beautiful small trees, making the environment very beautiful, but what was happening inside was very evil.
A group of mercenaries managed to capture Zhao Ming and Qiao Chen.
Qiao Chen was in a pool of blood, under the leg of a muscular man, who was looking at the bronze sword with satisfaction: “good sword! Haha, good sword! Expected of a disciple from Azure Cloud Sect, bringing treasures around, this treasure sword is worth at least twenty thousand gold!”
“I can give you the bronze sword, but you must let me go! Let us go!” Qiao Chen was covered in wounds, as he lay on the ground groaning in pain.
“Eh, you changed your tone? Aren’t you very stubborn just now, you admitted defeat so fast?” the muscular man kicked Qiao Chen away.
Qiao Chen painfully curled up: “i am a high grade disciple of Azure Cloud Sect’s Medicine Mountain, and i will become a personal disciple in the future, if you killed me, Azure Cloud Sect will definitely investigate till the end. Let me go, and i will take it as nothing happened, i will even give you the bronze sword.”
“Let you go now, and you will bite back afterwards, i have seen tons of people like you. Don’t be silly, since we dare to move against you, we won’t let you go afterwards.” the muscular man tore his clothes, revealing his upper body that is covered in scar, as he walked towards the bushes laughing.
“Don’t…. Don’t come over….” Zhao Ming was gravely injured, and is currently lying down there weakly.
There was also seven mercenaries circling Zhao Ming drooling, their fiery gazes were all over Zhao Ming.
“This girl is so fair, white and supple skin, i can’t hold it in anymore.”
“Disciples of Azure Cloud Sect is indeed different, they are so tender, just seeing it makes me feel hot, haha.”
“If women with outstanding beauty like this, were put in a brothel, it would certainly be the the hotseller, a night would be worth hundreds of gold. We sure are lucky today, even if i die today, it would be worth.”
“Boss, please go faster, after you finish, we all want to try too.”
They can barely hold on any longer, and want to pounce onto her, they have never met such a beautiful women before, with unparalleled beauty, slender legs and thin white waist, every part of her was perfect.
They were like a hungry pack of wolves looking at a piece of fat meat, drooling non stop .
Zhao Ming was in despair, she hated the her beauty for the first time in her life. The reason why she joined the medicine gathering activity was to kill Qin Ming and dispel her hatred, but she never expected this situation. If she had known before, she would never leave Azure Cloud Sect.
“Haha, no need to rush, everyone will have a chance, this girl is still a virgin, we are lucky today.” the muscular man pushed them away, stood in front of Zhao Ming, looking at her snow white skin and fiery curves, made a flame rise up in his heart.
They would not dare to rob Azure Cloud Sect normally, but they cant hold it in after meeting such a beauty.
“Big brother, quick quick quick.” the other mercenaries urged anxiously.
“Stand in line, let me have a taste first.” the muscular man licked his lips and crawled towards Zhao Ming.
“No…. No….” Zhao Ming struggled, but was easily suppressed by the muscular man.
Qin Ming hid in the crown of the tree, and managed to see everything that is happening in the valley clearly.
According to logic, he should feel happy, but his heart feels disgusted instead.
Should he watch Zhao Ming get abused to death?
Qin Ming gritted his teeth, and struggled in his heart. Afterwards, he lifted his head up, a cold glint appeared in his eyes as he turn around and disappeared in the forest.
“Please let me off! I can give you a lot of treasured! I swear.” Zhao Ming begged bitterly, she don’t even dare to think of being humiliated.
“Treasure? You are the treasure that i want.” the muscular man tore Zhao Ming’s clothes, revealing her bright red undergarment and snow white tender skin.
Zhao Ming screamed in despair, as she struggled helplessly.
The other mercenaries all sucked in a deep breath, how marvelous!
“Wait! Wait!” Qiao Chen suddenly struggled to crawl up.
“What now?”
“You guys don’t have to risk it by hurting disciples from Azure Cloud Sect, i can give you gold, a lot of gold, you can play any kind of women with the gold in the city.”
“Save it, don’t treat us as fools.”
Qiao Chen shouted in panic: “i can give you guys Spiritual Herbs!”
“You still have Spiritual Herbs with you now?” the other mercenaries turned their heads and looked at Qiao Chen.
“I don’t have it now, but i can find. I am a disciple from Medicine Mountain, we have a lot of unique methods to find Spiritual Herbs, sometimes we can find Middle grade Spiritual Herbs, i guarantee it’s true.”
The other mercenaries exchanged glances, their interest was aroused, this was a good idea.
Okay! I won’t kill you for now!” the muscular man waved his hand, and announced his fate.
Qiao Chen sighed in relief, but he felt grief and indignation in his heart, a disciple from Medicine Mountain begging a lowly mercenary for his life. “what about my junior sister?”
“Her? Haha, I won’t exchange even if you gave me High grade Spiritual Herbs.” the Muscular man laughed.
The other mercenaries were all snickering, these kind of taste could only be tasted once in a lifetime.
“You guys keep an eye out for this brat, don’t let him play any tricks.” the muscular man couldn’t hold on anymore, as he pounced towards Zhao Ming.
Zhao Ming closed her eyes in despair, leaving behind tears. At this moment, she suddenly thought of Qin Ming, why did i come here? It was because of Qin Ming!
Hate, hate, hate.
She hated Qin Ming, if it wasn’t because of him, why would i, Zhao Ming end up here?
Qiao Chen turned his head the other way round, it can’t be helped, he needed to protect his own life
Suddenly, hurried footsteps sounded from outside the mountain valley.
Qiao Chen looked back, Zhao Ming also opened her teary eyes.
Not long later, a human shadow dashed out of the forest, panting as he looked at the mountain valley.
“Qin Ming?” Qiao Chen seemed to not believe his eyes.
Qin Ming? Zhao Ming was still in a daze as she thought that she was dreaming.
The person was Qin Ming, who resolutely dashed into the mountain valley.
“he is your teammate.” the muscular man’s face was unsightly, his plans were delayed again and again.
“Another one who wants to die, no need to bother big bro, we will take care of him.” two mercenaries wielding swords came forward.
“Still wants to save a damsel in distress? How childish.” the other mercenaries laughed coldly, treating it as nothing. Wants to act as a hero with just one person.
But their expression quickly froze, not long after Qin Ming dash out of the forest, weird sound followed, it was a Red-eyed Spider chasing, it’s eight leg moving very quickly, it’s speed shocking. Following that, one, two…. Ten…. Twenty….
The densely packed forty Red-eyed Spiders dashed out the forest, each of them was as big as a calf, its shiny black sh.e.l.l giving out a cold glint under the sun, the thick sharp steel like claws, they were opening and closing their fangs, as they chased.
Qin Ming made an effort to charge into the mountain valley, he even had a Red-eyed Spider’s leg in his hand. He killed a Red-eyed Spider, thus provoking the group to chase him all the way here. He couldn’t bear to see Zhao Ming getting humiliated, this wasn’t an issue with hate, it was human nature!
