A black car drove into an old urban village awaiting demolition and arrived at the door of a two-story small bungalow with some age.

Zhu Daqi turned off the car, opened the door and got out, pushed open the big iron door, and walked into the yard.

"Dong dong dong..."

Zhu Daqi raised his hand and knocked on the door. The moment the knock sounded, a mature female voice came from inside the house.

"Come in."

After pushing the door open and hearing the sound of the TV coming from the living room, Zhu Daqi walked towards the living room.

Chen Xiaoyan was sitting on the sofa in the living room. Looking at Zhu Daqi's arrival, she raised her finger and pointed to the sofa beside her and said, "Sit down!"

"Sister Yan, did you call me here to ask me to do something?" Zhu Daqi sat down on the sofa, looked at Liu Xiaoyan, who was wearing a suspender nightdress, and swallowed secretly, and then asked seriously

road.

"I want you to take me to where the target you followed yesterday is now." Liu Xiaoyan said.

"That's it! Okay, no problem..." Zhu Daqi thought it was such a big deal! It turned out to be just such a trivial matter, but then he suddenly thought of something.

"Sister Yan, why are you going to the place where the target is? Brother, he went to find that person to trouble him yesterday. There is a high probability that that guy is no longer there."

"Your eldest brother hasn't come back yet." Liu Xiaoyan was silent for a moment and then said.

"Ah?" Zhu Daqi, who originally looked relaxed, was stunned when he heard this, and then he said in disbelief.

"Sister Yan, don't you mean that you think that the eldest brother went to trouble that person and he hasn't come back yet? Do you think that the eldest brother fell into the hands of that person?"

Liu Xiaoyan nodded first, and then shook her head. Her reaction made Zhu Daqi, who was a little impatient, very confused.

Before Zhu Daqi could speak, Liu Xiaoyan explained, "I'm not sure now, is something really happened to Liu Menglong?

I asked you to take me to the location of the target and see what the target's condition is before I can draw the final conclusion."

"..." Zhu Daqi remained silent and did not speak. As a close subordinate, he knew that Liu Menglong was a practitioner with a mid-level second-level cultivation.

In his opinion, no matter how powerful the young man he was following, who had just become a hunter of exotic beasts, could not be his elder brother's opponent, how could he fall into the hands of his elder brother?

"I'm going to change clothes now, and then we'll set off." Liu Xiaoyan, who was wearing a cool suspender nightgown, said, then got up and walked to the bedroom.

After a while, Liu Xiaoyan, wearing a pink T-shirt and a blue skirt, walked out of the bedroom.

Originally, Zhu Daqi was still immersed in the state of shock that something might happen to Liu Menglong. When he saw Liu Xiaoyan in a gorgeous dress, he immediately came back to his senses, and he couldn't help but have some other thoughts in his heart.

"If something happens to Big Brother, won't Sister Yan be single again? Will I be able to..."

Liu Xiaoyan didn't notice Zhu Daqi's random thoughts. Now she was filled with anxiety about what she would do if something happened to Liu Menglong.

"Let's go!"

"Oh, okay." Zhu Daqi came to his senses from his wandering thoughts, and then quickly left the living room with Liu Xiaoyan.

It's almost nine o'clock, and the sun hanging high in the sky is emitting blazing light.

However, because it rained heavily, the ground was still wet, and the strong sunshine did not make people feel very hot.

"Boom..."

The black car started, Zhu Daqi turned the steering wheel, turned the car, and left the urban village that was to be demolished.

"Sister Yan, can you tell me, brother, he went to trouble that person yesterday, how exactly did he do it?" Zhu Daqi, who was driving a car to the outskirts of the Eastern District, asked curiously.

He still thought that Liu Menglong went to Lin Li to cause trouble, either with a simple verbal threat, or simply to beat him up.

As for the fact that Liu Menglong went to Lin Li to kill him, Zhu Daqi had never considered it.

The reason for this is that Zhu Daqi works in Liu Menglong's underground casino where he can't see the light of day.

His main job is to maintain the order of underground casinos, track down gamblers who make idle payments, and collect debts.

No matter how bad the work he did was, he wouldn't dare to kill anyone.

Because Zhu Daqi and the other younger brothers working under Liu Menglong are not fools and know what can and cannot be done.

After all, if they are caught by the security guards doing the things they are doing now, they will be thrown into jail for a few years at most, and if someone is killed, they will have to eat peanuts.

Liu Menglong naturally knew that the young men he had accepted were actually very timid, so he would not tell his subordinates anything involving human lives, not even Zhu Daqi, whom he valued very much.

As Liu Xiaoyan comes from the same organization as Liu Menglong, she naturally knows the situation of Zhu Daqi and other younger brothers very well.

Now Zhu Daqi curiously asked how Liu Menglong went to trouble Lin Li last night and how he did it. Liu Xiaoyan must not be able to tell him the real situation.

"Your elder brother is going to break one of that man's hands." Liu Xiaoyan explained expressionlessly.

"So that's it!" Zhu Daqi nodded when he heard this, because when he was collecting debts, he would break the hands of gamblers who owed money if they didn't pay back, so after hearing Liu Xiaoyan's explanation, he was surprised

Not surprising.

Then, he asked with some confusion, "I observed that man yesterday, and he didn't look like a gambler who owed money!"

"That man is indeed not a gambler who owes money. He has offended someone, and the sponsor has paid to punish him.

It just so happens that our current casino business is very bleak, we are short of funds, and we can't pay everyone's wages, so your eldest brother took over this job..." Liu Xiaoyan added.

"..." When Zhu Daqi heard this, he was immediately moved. "Brother, he has disappeared for us, and now there is no news. If it is confirmed that something happened to him, we will definitely avenge him."

Liu Xiaoyan glanced at the moved Zhu Daqi and said nothing, thinking that this guy was too easy to deceive!

Just when Liu Xiaoyan was complaining that Zhu Daqi was easy to deceive, Zhu Daqi, whose face was full of emotion, was also secretly regretting what he said.

"What the hell am I talking about? Brother, he is a practitioner with a mid-level second-level cultivation. Even if he went to trouble that person, his whereabouts are now unknown.

If it is finally confirmed that Brother's accident is really related to that person, just me and other people looking for trouble for that person will be like an egg against a rock in the end."

The black car drove toward the outskirts of the East District with a clear goal. A man and a woman sitting in the driver's seat and passenger seat had their own thoughts.

If someone could hear their thoughts at this moment, they would definitely show a playful smile.

…………

There was no road in this forest that had only been opened for a few months. Because there were so many people walking, an uneven but passable dirt road was formed in the forest.

Lin Li and Su Yue carried backpacks filled with food and set out from the camping site to climb the mountain. They walked and chatted along the way, occasionally stopping to take pictures of the surrounding scenery.

Su Yue took her mobile phone and turned on the camera, preparing to take some beautiful scenery photos.

Suddenly, she saw something yellow appearing on the screen, and immediately zoomed in on the camera.

When he saw the appearance of the yellow-orange things clearly, he immediately turned his head and called to Lin Li, who was drinking water under a big tree behind him.

"Lin Li, come here and take a look. I found a lot of wild oranges."

Lin Li, who was drinking mineral water, heard this and immediately walked to Su Yue's side, "Where are you?"

"There." Su Yue raised her slender arm, pointed to a location in the distance, and said.

The golden sunshine was a bit dazzling. Lin Li raised his hand to block his eyes, looked at the position pointed by Su Yue's finger, and said, "There are really so many wild oranges!"

"You help me carry my bag, I'll go over and pick some up." Su Yue said, then reached out to take off the backpack she was carrying, and handed it to Lin Li.

"I'd better go! The slope from here is so steep. If you fall, you'll probably roll down the mountain directly," Lin Li said.

Then, he put the unfinished mineral water back into his backpack, walked out from the dirt road, and went straight to the patch of wild oranges that Su Yue discovered.

"Slow down!" Su Yue saw Lin Li moving very fast on the rugged hillside and was very worried that he would fall, so she reminded him.

"I know." Lin Li responded casually, without slowing down his pace.

Are you kidding me? If a cultivator at the peak of the second level can't even cope with such a terrain, it would be really ridiculous.

After a while, Lin Li arrived at the patch of wild oranges that Su Yue had discovered.

There are more than a dozen orange trees growing on the steep slope. These orange trees are very lush. Judging from their appearance, they must be quite old.

However, because these orange trees are wild, the size of the oranges they grow is not large, far less than those grown from carefully cultivated orange trees on the market.

"Lin Li, please pay attention to the grass under your feet and don't step on a snake!"

Just when Lin Li was about to take off his backpack and reach out to pick some wild oranges to take away, Su Yue's reminder came from behind.

He waved his hand nonchalantly, reached out and picked an orange from the wild orange tree in front of him, and put it in his backpack.

When he was about to pick the second orange, the grass three meters away suddenly shook, and then a terrifying black and white creature, one meter and five meters long, emerged from the grass. It made a scalp-numbing cry at Lin Li.

Damn it, Su Yue is such a crow's mouth... In this quiet orange forest, the hissing sound of the black and white venomous snakes is faint, but you can hear it clearly.

"Let's just taste it. You don't need to pick too much..." Because of the angle, Su Yue didn't know that Lin Li was currently staring at a black and white venomous snake with big eyes and small eyes.

"I got it." Lin Li responded to Su Yue's call as if nothing had happened while mobilizing the spiritual energy in his dantian.

A pale golden light flashed across his right hand, and a palm-sized, sharp cyan wind blade condensed and took shape in an instant.

The venomous snake with its triangular head and black and white body is just an ordinary wild animal, unaware that it is about to be in disaster.

At this moment, it was very dissatisfied with this human who had intruded into its territory, and was ready to give him a bite.

"Hiss and tear..."

If it were not Lin Li who came here to pick wild oranges this time, but other ordinary people, and they encountered such a large venomous snake, making a scalp-numbing hissing sound at him, I am afraid he would be frightened.

Legs feel weak.

"Why are you so fierce? Do you think you can defeat me?" Lin Li saw the black and white venomous snake hissing viciously at him. He was not frightened by the snake, but gave him a tit-for-tat glare.

Then, just before the venomous snake was about to launch an attack, Lin Li's thoughts moved, and a palm-sized cyan wind blade with a sharp edge shot out in an instant.

"call out."

The wind blade is very fast and cannot be avoided by this ordinary black and white venomous snake.

"Pfft."

In the blink of an eye, Lin Li was about to take a bite. The black and white venomous snake was split into two by the sharp green wind blade. Blood spurted out from the incision, and soon the grass on the ground was wet.

A small piece.

Although the body was cut off and destined to die, due to the characteristics of snakes, the body that was divided into two was still twisting on the ground, which made people feel a little bit creepy.

Moreover, a dead snake will still bite people for a period of time due to conditioned reflexes, so the best way is to bury the snake's head.

Lin Li considered that the black and white snake was a venomous snake, just in case, so as not to harm others.

So he took a few steps forward, where Su Yue couldn't see him, took out a shovel from the mysterious island, dug a small hole in the ground, and buried the dead poisonous tongue in the hole.

"Tap tap tap..."

After filling the hole with soil, Lin Li stepped hard on it a few times, and then he took the shovel back to the mysterious island.

"Lin Li, are you okay?" Su Yue called when she saw Lin Li going to pick oranges and not coming back for so long.

"It'll be ready soon." Lin Li responded, and then he quickly picked the wild oranges in front of him, picked more than twenty, and then started to return the same way.

Su Yue looked at Lin Li who ran up from the slope and returned to the dirt road, and walked forward quickly.

She stretched out her jade-white palms, took off the cocklebur sticks on his clothes, and threw them into the grass aside. She complained, "It's true that you stayed there for so long and weren't afraid of meeting someone."

To the snake.”

"Isn't it just a snake? What's there to be afraid of? If you encounter one, just kill it." Lin Li said with a very relaxed smile.

"Tch, you can brag! If you really encounter a snake, you will probably be scared and scream." Su Yue muttered, picking off the last cocklebur stuck to Lin Li's clothes.

Lin Li smiled and said nothing, then he opened the backpack on his back, took out a few wild oranges and handed them to Su Yue.

"The wild oranges have been picked, please try them quickly! Their appearance is quite different from the ones we buy in the market, and the taste may disappoint you."
