As soon as he finished speaking, Fade Chen raised his head, his eyes sank, and his figure turned into a phantom, charging towards the twenty or so masked men.

Then, there was a crackling and moaning sound.

After a while, the forest returned to calm.

More than twenty masked people, almost all fell to the ground, breathless.

Only the last masked leader was left. Fade Chen stepped on his feet and asked coldly, "Who are you?"

The masked leader pursed his lips, as if he would rather die than speak.

Fade Chen was too lazy to talk nonsense, and directly turned the energy of his fingertips into dozens of air needles, and penetrated into the body of the facade leader.

Immediately, the masked leader's body twisted, and a kind of extreme pain made his cheeks swell rapidly.

But the throat seemed to be blocked by something, and no sound could come out at all.

It lasted like this for about ten seconds, the masked leader finally couldn't bear the pain, nodded his head quickly, and let out a whining sound from his mouth.

Seeing this, Fade Chen lightly tapped his fingertips to relieve the pain of the masked leader, and said, "Say it!"

The masked leader panted heavily, and said: "We are from Qingshan Village, and we have received a mission to destroy a small mine nearby."

"Green Mountain Village! Mineral lode!"

Fade Chen has some impressions of these things. There are still some large and small forces near Shuanglin City.

Some occupy a hilltop and set up cottages.

Some surrounded a field and built a manor.

This Qingshanzhai is such a force, outside Shuanglin City, it still has a certain reputation.

As for the mineral veins, Fade Chen has also heard about them. There are ten or twenty mineral veins, large and small, near Shuanglin City.

Among them, the two largest fire crystal veins are controlled by the two city lords Mo Nanning and Yinya, and they are mined by humans and monsters respectively.

Various other small mine veins were divided up by various forces in Shuanglin City according to their own abilities.

Near this forest, there is a small vein of fire crystal. I heard that the owner is a rich shop owner in Shuanglin City.

"Why destroy the veins, who gave you the order?"

Fade Chen asked.

The masked leader shook his head and said, "I don't know, I just received the task and came to execute it."

"have no idea?"

Fade Chen didn't believe it.

The masked leader hastily explained: "What I said is true, our Qingshan Village has always accepted tasks like this.

There is a special intermediary to quote and pass on the news, so that we don't ask too much, and we start to act when we get the deposit. "

"About this mission, we only know that the mission was sent by a certain important person in Shuanglin City.

The rewards given are not low, and we are required to move cleanly and without leaving traces. "

When this guy was talking, Fade Chen let go of Yuanhun a little bit, and checked it out. He was basically sure that the masked leader did not tell lies.

Regarding the task, Fade Chen didn't continue to ask.

After all, he wasn't interested in that either.

Then, he thought of something and asked aloud, "How did you find me just now?"

"I'm holding my breath, it should be hard to notice."

The masked leader said: "Our Qingshan Village has been active outside the city, so we are familiar with the environment outside the city."

"When we passed through this forest just now, I found that the 'Luo Xingpan' herb on the ground showed signs of being collected, and the traces were very fresh, so I judged that someone was nearby and did not go far."

"Afterwards, I let go of my breath and checked, and I did not find anything unusual.

But in our team, there is a half-demon with wolf blood, his sense of smell is far sharper than ordinary warriors. "

"So, I asked him to investigate, and found a little different breath."

"But the breath is still well hidden, and it is impossible to distinguish the specific direction.

So I decided that everyone should act together, use Qi Jin and medicine powder, and carry out a range attack, which will definitely force the opponent out. "

"Finally, we--" Speaking of this, the masked leader did not continue.

Fade Chen was a little surprised. Originally, he thought that his own strength and means were enough for Shuanglin City and even the entire Great Flame Realm.

Unexpectedly, they still underestimated them.

People living in the local area seem to have their own characteristics and unique skills.

Especially the half-demons and monsters here, Fade Chen knew very little about them.

It seems that in the future, we must be more cautious, and the means must be richer.

Thinking of this, Fade Chen sighed.

Seeing this, the masked leader looked at Fade Chen pleadingly, and said, "My lord, I've said everything you want me to say.

Please, spare my life.

I must be grateful—" "Crack! "

Fade Chen didn't talk nonsense with him, and pierced through the forehead of the masked leader with a force, killing him.

For this kind of guy who has been licking blood all year round and has done countless evil things.

Fade Chen wouldn't be so stupid as to believe their guarantee, it's the most reassuring to solve it completely.

After destroying the masked team, Fade Chen took a little more effort to completely destroy their bodies and traces, and at the same time eliminate his own traces.

It's no wonder that Fade Chen was careful, after all, the masked leader also said that the task this time was assigned by the big shots in Shuanglin City.

If the other party finds that the mission has failed, they will definitely send someone to investigate.

At that time, it would be bad if Chen Fei himself was found out.

After dealing with all these, Fade Chen deliberately detoured in one direction and set foot on his way home.

On the way back this time, he saw the small mine vein mentioned by the masked leader.

So, Fade Chen observed carefully.

There is nothing special about the small vein. Under the supervision of the supervisor, a group of workers laboriously excavated pieces of fire crystal rough stones from the mine pit, and finally gathered them together and transported them to the direction of Shuanglin City.

Because of the excavation all year round, the nearby mountain range has been excavated to be pitted and devastated.

On the mountain wall, various large and small, long and short mines are intertwined and connected together to form a maze in the mountain.

After observing for a while, Fade Chen found nothing unusual and didn't want to be troublesome, so he left quietly and returned to Shuanglin City.

Back at the Qiuhu Martial Arts Hall, Fade Chen processed the "Luo Xingpan" herbal medicine collected and used it for practice.

The effect was good. Fade Chen did feel that his cultivation had stabilized a bit, and he was moving towards the peak of the ninth level of the Starfire Realm faster.

After practicing like this for a few days, when I came home in the evening, An Qingyu pulled Fade Chen and said, "Mr. Chen, are you free tomorrow afternoon?"

"Uh, what's the matter?"

Fade Chen asked.

An Qingyu said: "Sister Yu from the pharmacy wants to treat us to dinner, thank you for helping her earlier."

"Thank you for eating, it's not necessary.

It's not a big deal either. "

Fade Chen said.

An Qingyu said: "Chen Huo has already agreed, so—" "Chen Huo, why—" Fade Chen felt a little confused.

An Qingyu said: "Sister Yu came to my house to thank me that day, and Chen Huo happened to be there.

He said that he was the one who struck down those people that day, so Sister Yu-" Hearing this, Fade Chen understood that it must be Huo Jiao who couldn't control his mouth and boasted in front of people.

"Where did that kid go?

The city guard is still investigating the murderer that day?

He still dares to brag everywhere, let's see how I teach him a lesson! "

Fade Chen said angrily.

An Qingyu said: "He went out, saying that he will come back for a banquet tomorrow afternoon."

"This guy!"

Chen Fei was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do. The boy agreed, and he could only go to the banquet.
