It's getting dark and there are more mosquitoes on the road.

  "This place is terrible, the mosquitoes in Xuyang County are much more vicious than those in Jiangning County!" Teng Qinghu slapped his face hard, killing a mosquito. The most painful thing about traveling at night in summer was that there were too many mosquitoes.

  "Hey, it's still okay over here. I heard that in the southern wilderness, the mosquitoes at night are even more ruthless. There's a kind of poisonous mosquito, if a warrior gets bitten on the hand, their entire arm will go numb! If they get bitten multiple times, they can be poisoned to death!" Du Hong exclaimed.

  Hong Qinghu was shocked: "Such a fierce poisonous mosquito?"

  "Do you think the wilderness is easy to explore? The wilderness is rarely visited by humans, so it can give birth to thousand-year-old lingzhi, Gan Wang, and many other heavenly treasures. Some strange and mysterious beasts, even many powerful warriors' secret manuals and weapons left behind after their death. With so many treasures, if the wilderness were easy to explore, it would have been crowded with people long ago." Du Hong sighed and said.

  Teng Qinghu nodded in agreement.

  For example, the golden silkworm shell armor that Teng Qing Shan just obtained, the golden silkworm is unique to the Desolate Land.

  "In the depths of the mountains and forests, where human footprints are rare, it is easier to give birth to monsters and treasures." Teng Qing Shan nodded secretly, even in his hometown's 'Dai Yan Mountain', a dragon could be hiding, so how could the vast and endless wilderness, where human footprints are rare, not have any powerful monsters?

  "Hurry up, everyone! We still have twenty miles to go before we reach the Sanshi Inn. If you want to eat roasted meat and drink wine, just hold on for a little while longer, until we get to the Sanshi Inn, then we can rest!" Old Wu Tan shouted loudly.

  "Everyone cheered up and persevered for a while longer."

  A burst of responses, the guards enthusiastically discussed what they would eat and drink tonight.

  ……

  After almost an hour, the convoy finally arrived at Sanshi Inn.

  "Welcome, gentlemen! Please come in!" Seeing a large merchant caravan appear outside, three shop assistants rushed out to help enthusiastically.

  Butler Wu Tuan ordered: "Xiao Er, lead these guards to the backyard of your inn, set up a few more tables in the backyard, and let them order whatever good wine and dishes they want!" Wu Tuan turned his head to look at the group of guards and shouted: "You brothers must be careful not to drink too much!"

  "Old Wu, don't worry, this isn't the first or second time we've stayed here, we won't delay important matters." One of the leading guards said with a smile.

  In an instant, seventy or eighty guards led a large number of war horses, carriages and goods to the backyard of the inn. After all, the goods and war horses were valuable things, especially the black armor army's war horses, which had to be kept tight.

  "Come on, Qing Shan brothers, let's go in and have a meal first." Zhu Chongshi said with a smile to Lu Qing Shan.

  Zhu Chongshi and his wife, children, and several servants, along with Tian Qing's Black Armor Army, entered the inn at the same time.

  Step into the inn!

  Hong Qing Shan's eyes swept over, noticing that on one side of the inn, there were five tables of guests. Those people were either shirtless or had their chests exposed, drinking loudly and speaking recklessly. On their tables or beside their chairs, they placed knives and swords and other weapons. In total, there were more than twenty people.

  As soon as Zuo Qing and his group of heavily armored black-clad soldiers entered the inn—

  The entire inn seemed to have dropped in temperature, the men who were laughing and chatting earlier lowered their voices, glanced over here a few times, each of them touched their weapons or put them in a convenient position.

  Walking outside, a disagreement in words, drawing swords and facing each other, blood splashing within five steps, this is very common.

  ……

  Teng Qing Shan furrowed his brow, the inn was not small, but there were only ten tables downstairs. The other side had occupied five of them, leaving only five tables left. Each of the Black Armor Army wore heavy armor, usually four people would occupy one table, even if they squeezed together, it seemed that the tables were still insufficient.

  "You people." Du Hong, clad in heavy armor, coldly gazed at some others, "Squeeze over to the side and make room for a table!"

  "What did you say!" A tall and burly man with a bare upper body suddenly slammed his hand on the table and stood up.

  "Wow!"

  Twenty black-armored soldiers turned their heads in unison and gazed at him with indifference.

  That tall and powerful man was startled and his heart skipped a beat.

  Clang! Clang!......

  Those twenty or so men immediately grasped their weapons, but each and every one of them was filled with apprehension. They could see that the newcomer was wearing heavy armor, and if a fight were to break out, they would be at a disadvantage.

  "Don't cause trouble." A tall, stern-looking man with disheveled hair pulled the big man down to sit, and cupped his hands in greeting, "Gentlemen, those five tables are indeed not enough. We'll give up one table for you." This disheveled-haired man was clearly very authoritative.

  The other Han people, although unwilling, still gave up a table.

  Even with six tables, Teng Qing Shan's side was barely squeezing in.

  "Shopkeeper, hurry up with the dishes and wine." Wu Tan, the steward, ordered the dishes and immediately instructed.

  "Alright, coming right away." The shopkeeper personally took the menu and immediately ran towards the backyard.

  Teng Qing Shan and his six tables of guests sat there, while the dozens of Han men beside them spoke in much softer tones.

  Very soon——

  Dish after dish of delicacies, pot after pot of fine wine, were constantly being served. Teng Qing Shan and his companions ate much better than those wandering men who roamed the world!

  "Brother Qing Shan, let's eat quickly, and then we can rest well. It's already late now. We still have to rush on the road tomorrow morning," said Zhu Chong Shi.

  Hong Qingshan nodded.

  At this moment, outside was already pitch black, Wu Tan, the steward, took out the silver needle and Lan Yun Pearl to test if the food was poisoned. The Black Armor Army soldiers also tested it briefly before starting to eat. When traveling outdoors, especially in desolate wilderness inns, one must be cautious.

  ……

  In a large room in the backyard of the inn, dozens of people gathered, led by that old man Meng.

  "Light the lanterns!" Meng Lao said calmly.

  "Yes." The short-shirted young man who was dressed as a shop assistant nodded, immediately picked up an oil lamp and walked out of the house, passed through the backyard, came to the hall, exchanged a glance with the shopkeeper, and then replaced the oil lamp that had just been extinguished.

  The oil lamp was burning quietly.

  The short-shirted man glanced at the crowd in the hall, a hint of coldness flashing through his eyes, and sneered in his heart: "Coming to the inn, Meng Lao doesn't even need to make a move, you're all dead for sure!"

  ……

  A group of people in the hostel's hall, eating with relish.

  "Green Mountain, come, let's drink." Zhu Chongshi smiled and raised his cup.

  Teng Qing Shan downed the wine in one gulp, and a wave of warmth surged into his belly, feeling very comfortable. Suddenly, Teng Qing Shan sniffed with his nose, and his eyebrows furrowed involuntarily.

  Note...

  Teng Qing Shan can control the flow of blood and Qi, and he can detect even the slightest problem with his internal organs. He has reached an extreme level in Nei Jia Quan. Now, Teng Qing Shan can smell a colorless and odorless gas in the air that can numb people's nerves.

  "Hold your breath and cover your mouth and nose with a towel!" Teng Qing Shan suddenly shouted, "Someone has poisoned us!"

  "Poison!" The hall was suddenly in an uproar.

  Teng Qing Shan stood up, holding a revolver in his hand, and gazed at the three shop assistants beside him.

  "It's really toxic." The first to faint was Zhu Chongshi's little daughter, and the others also felt dizzy. Fortunately, Teng Qingshan reminded them quickly, they only inhaled a small amount, otherwise, they would have fainted long ago.

  The better one's physical condition is, the harder it is for them to be poisoned.

  For example, to knock out an elephant, much more anaesthetic is needed than for a human.

  Teng Qing Shan's physique was much stronger than an elephant, let alone just inhaling a little bit, even if he inhaled more, it would be very difficult to make him unconscious. If Teng Qing Shan controlled his blood circulation, it was impossible for him to be poisoned.

  "Governor-General!" Everyone looked at Tan Qing Shan.

  "Protect Master Zhu well and hurry to the backyard!" Teng Qing Shan ordered.

  "Kill!" A loud shout came from the backyard.

  Suddenly a burst of killing sounds came from the backyard.

  "Haha, the Black Armor Army's General 'Tsun Qing Shan' is indeed a top-notch expert! He can discover this colorless and tasteless 'Feng Yi Meng' so quickly!" A burst of loud laughter, suddenly more than a dozen people rushed out from the upper floor of the inn, each holding bows and arrows, crazily shooting and killing those below.

  Hong Qing Shan raised his head and looked at the group of archers: "In a group battle, archers pose a great threat, they must be eliminated first!"

  "Hmm!"

  Hong Qingshan suddenly jumped up and directly leaped onto the second floor.

  "Kill him!" On the second floor corridor, those archers all drew their waist knives and swung them towards Tong Qing Shan.

  "Pffft!" "Pffft!" "Pffft!"...

  Like a whirlwind, Teng Qing Shan killed over ten archers in a flash, and by then the other Black Armor Army soldiers had already protected Zhu Chongshi's family and were rushing towards the backyard.

  After killing more than a dozen archers, Hong Qingshan kicked the door next to him and rushed into a room on the second floor. Then, with a loud "peng" sound, he smashed through the large window and leaped into the vast backyard where a fierce battle was underway.

  Blood everywhere!

  Those guards have already fallen to the ground in their dozens, with many of them having arrows stuck in their bodies.

  The guards were already at a disadvantage, fortunately the black armor soldiers rushed over from the front hall and started fighting with the opponent's killers. The opponent had many people, nearly a hundred.

  "It's terrible, there are quite a few internal force masters! This is not good, at this rate, I'm afraid more than half of the Black Armor Army will be killed!" Just in that short moment, two Black Armor Army soldiers fell down, and of course, even more of the opposing side fell.

  One fell into the backyard, Teng Qing Shan looked around at the crazy slaughter and instantly locked onto a few people.

  "Pffft!" "Pffft!" "Pffft!"...

  Teng Qing Shan's long spear was extremely strange, no matter who he killed, it only took one shot! Teng Qing Shan killed eight people in one breath, and these eight people were all internal masters of the opponent. However, in front of Teng Qing Shan's 'Shadow Following Form' gun technique, they had no power to resist.

  "Good job!" A loud shout.

  "Boom!"

  A figure emerged from a room, like a flash of lightning, with a terrifying speed that even caused a gust of wind, followed by a dazzling blood-red knife light.

  Heng Qing Shan only felt that his entire being was suppressed by the knife's glow, as if he had fallen into an icy cave.

  "Master, you're ten times stronger than Yue Song and Zhuge Yun!" Just this one terrifying slash made Cheng Qing Shan's blood boil with excitement, "Finally met a true master!"

  "Ah!"

  The long spear swooped down, as if a giant python swallowed towards that beam of light!

  Shadow Following Form Gun Technique - Fifty Thousand Jin of Power!

  One move is 50,000 kilograms of tremendous power!

  "Clang!"

  The sword light and gun shadow collided in mid-air, only to see the figure of the expert spinning like a whirlwind, easily dispelling Tan Qing Shan's spiral energy, while flying onto the roof beside. Meng Tian was also shocked: "What a terrifying shooting technique! That shooting technique seems to contain an invisible vortex, even my sword intent is affected!"

  "Come down!" Teng Qing Shan let out a loud roar, his long spear fiercely slamming into the wall beside him.

  "Boom!"

  The wall collapsed like a paper-thin crash, with shattered stones and flying mud. Meng Tian immediately took off.

  Teng Qing Shan's eyes gleamed like a sharp knife, and with a flick of his spear, the originally blunt-tipped spear suddenly transformed into a pointed one. "Whoosh!" Like a flash of lightning, it shot towards Meng Tian, who was suspended in mid-air.
