C13 Fighting enemy

He stayed at the peak of the Wolf Ivory Mountain for seven days. The first three days he healed the Golden Roc Lightning Bird, and the last four days he helped chase away some fine beasts that wanted to take advantage of the Golden Roc Lightning Bird's weakness.

Every time he was injured, he would use the herbs at the top of the mountain to heal his wounds. The more he fought, the braver he got, and he was about to reach the threshold of becoming a Level 8 Warrior.

There were only three immortal grasses stolen by Lan Xinghe, and several hundred similar herbs grown on the summit. The Golden Roc Lightning Bird didn't feel the slightest bit of heartache and even specially chose the ones for Li Ke and Little Leopard to eat.

For the past few days, Li Ke had basically eaten immortal herbs as food. With a spirit beast by his side protecting him, he was not afraid of the effects of the medicine going berserk or wasting it.

As a carnivorous animal, Little Panther liked to eat meat, but it was best if it was cooked. The refined beast that Li Ke and the Golden Roc had killed a few days ago had become the Little Leopard's standard food, while the inner bladder had become the Golden Roc's healing panacea.

After seven days, the Golden Roc had regained its former elegance. Having lost the crown on her head was equivalent to removing the last weakness on her body, and her bearing was even more noble than before.

"Your injuries have already healed. Can you send us down the mountain?"

As Li Ke was about to leave, the Golden Roc Thunder Bird said with a very disappointed expression, "Are you leaving? What's so good about the mountain? You guys stay on the mountain and cultivate with me. I promise that you'll be able to become a Saint-level expert within thirty years. "

Li Ke shook his head and said, "Thank you for your good intentions. If I don't go back, grandfather, father, mother, and the others will be worried."

"What is a grandfather?"

The Golden Roc didn't have any concept of ancestors, so it had some impression of its parents.

Li Ke gave a simple explanation and insisted on going down the mountain. The Golden Roc was like a little girl begging for a long time, but in the end it still agreed to send Li Ke down the mountain.

Li Ke agreed to come often to play.

The Golden Roc sent Li Ke down the mountain, giving him a golden feather as a keepsake. With this feather in hand, his spirit in Wolf Mansion would not actively attack Li Ke, and he could even seek the help of low level spirit beasts.

The Golden Roc Lightning Bird also wanted to give Li Ke a few more immortal herbs, but Li Ke only took one of the most common and rare herbs on the peak of the mountain.

There were many spiritual herbs on the peak of the mountain, and there was no lack of medicinal herbs that could give birth to bones. Every single one of them were extremely rare and precious, and because of this, Li Ke did not dare to take them.

Li Ke knew that having a treasure could bring about a crime.

In the past two years, although he had lived in martial arts, his grandfather, Li Chen, would still urge him to read and write more books.

For the past two years, what Li Ke loved to read the most were the biography of ancient novels and the analyses of the world's major events that had been carried out by various schools of thought.

Li Ke Lu left Little Leopard at the foot of Wolf Ivory Mountain under the care of the Golden Roc Lightning Bird and caught two pheasants. Li Ke was carrying the feathers of the Golden Roc in his arms. The pheasant was so scared that it didn't dare to move, and it only let Li Ke catch two live ones. Li Ke was not a greedy person. He caught two male pheasants, but did not catch the hens or mother beasts with their young.

Although he had been in the mountain for a long time this time, Li Ke often stayed away for ten to fifteen days, so his family wasn't worried.

The first one to see Li Ke return was Gong Lingruo, she shouted loudly, "Big brother Li family is back!" He hurriedly ran out to greet them. He was overjoyed. He insisted on helping Li Ke carry a pheasant and nagged, "Big Brother Li, why have you been gone so long this time? Sixteen days have passed since our last meeting. The longest time was only eleven days. "

"I went a bit more this time."

Li Ke did not explain any further. Gong Ling Ruo did not question further, and just followed beside Li Ke, Gong Ling Ruo felt happy.

Ever since Li Ke saved Gong Lingruo from the hands of the mahjong, Gong Lingruo had been following behind Li Ke like a small tail that couldn't be shaken off. If Gong Hou agreed and Gong Ling Ruo even dared to go hunting with Li Ke, Gong Ling Ruo believed that no matter when and under what circumstances Li Ke would protect her.

Kids are all suicidal. As long as they think of someone as good, then that person is really good.

Privately, hunter Gong discussed with Li Chen and decided to make a baby marriage and arrange for Gong Lingruo to be given to Li Ke in advance. The Gong family members didn't object. Li Chen also thought it was not bad, but the child was still young and didn't mention anything about being on stage.

After locking the two live pheasants in their cages, Li Ke first went to meet Li Chen and the hunter Gong.

The two old men had nothing better to do and were checking the chess in the house. The two old men's chess skills were not ordinary.

The sharpening could take two or three hours, and Li Ke suspected that the chessboard would be worn out.

Every time Li Ke could not bear to watch any longer, he would take a leak and run away.

"Li Ke is back."

When Hunter Gong saw Li Ke return, he pushed the chess pieces on the board away and stood up, saying, "No, this match will be considered as a draw. I'll get some wine. We guys should have a good drink tonight."

"Why is it a draw? I clearly won."

Li Chen was so angry that he couldn't stop them and let Hunter Gong run away. Only then did he angrily say, "This old thing, he's getting more and more shameless. Next time, I won't let him play the game." Then he looked at Li Ke and asked, "Ke'er, why did you take so long this time? Don't you know your family is worried? "Xiaoxiao hasn't eaten well for the past few days. She sits in the yard all day, waiting for you to come back."

"I went a bit more this time."

Li Ke looked around to see that there was no one around. Hunter Gong went to a village far away to drink. Gong Ling Ruo took some millet and fed it to the pheasants. He asked, "Where's Gong Hu?"

Li Chen said, "Why are you looking for him? Returning to the village, there seems to be another group of bandits coming to collect the money. It's the biggest wave of willow trees nearby, you can't not give it to them. "

Li Ke smiled and said, "It's good that it's not happening anymore."

It wasn't that Li Ke was stingy, it was because he wasn't close with Gong Hu and there was no need to give him free rewards.

Seeing Li Ke carefully take out a small cloth bag from his chest, Li Chen's eyes became brighter and brighter, almost exclaiming out loud. He suppressed his voice and asked, "Spirit Grass, it's really Spirit Grass. Ke'er, where did you find it?"

"In a valley."

Li Ke couldn't be said to be at the peak of Wolf Ivory Mountain. If Li Chen knew that he had been captured by the Golden Roc Lightning Bird and was almost torn to shreds to eat, wouldn't he be scared sick?

After being surprised for a moment, Li Chen wrapped up the Spirit Communication Grass and reprimanded with a serious expression, "Spirit Communication Grass is a rare spirit herb, and every stalk of the Spirit Communication Grass is guarded by a spirit beast. If you are found out by a spirit beast while trying to steal grass, don't worry about it anymore, you will never be able to do this again. "

"Next time, I'll definitely go with grandpa."

Li Ke lowered his head to admit his mistake, but his heart was warm. He knew that his grandfather was worried about his safety.

"This time, let's not talk about this again."

"En!"

After he came down, he seemed to not feel reassured as if he was saying, "Don't tell anyone about the matter of the Spirit Communication Grass, including Gong Lingruo and old man Gong, and even more so, don't tell Gong Hu."

"Grandfather, I know what to do."

"Be careful."

Li Chen sat down by the chessboard, took the teapot, and drank two cups of cold tea. Even if Li Chen was a martial artist at the peak of the ninth level, he was no exception.

Li Chen calmed himself down and personally killed a pheasant. Then, he took out the mushrooms that were left to dry by Hunter Gong and cooked a big pot of chicken mushrooms.

The fragrance drifted very far away, and Gong Ling smiled happily. One reason was because Li Ke had returned safely, and two reason was because she had meat to eat.

Hunter Gong went to the village to drink. Originally, it didn't take long, but after waiting for an entire morning, no one came back. Li Chen felt that something was wrong and was about to go to the village to have a look when Gong Hu rode his horse over from the direction of the village.

Gong Hu was already 14 years old and he became more sturdy. Although Li Chen did not agree to accept disciples, he would occasionally give a few pointers. Gong Hu, at present, also thought that within the ranks of the peak rank 6 martial artists, a pike was a number one person within dozens of miles. It was said that the military inspectors of Huai Nan Army thought highly of Gong Hu and wanted to recruit him to serve in the army.

Everything was said and said because Gong Hu did not personally say it, no one knew if it was true or not.

"Junior apprentice-brother is back."

Although Gong Hu wasn't Li Chen's proper disciple, he still treated Li Chen as a disciple. If he didn't dare to be shameless, he called Li Chen master and called him junior brother Li Ke.

He would take a roundabout route to build a closer relationship with the Li family's ancestors.

Li Chen kept quiet about this matter. He did not print nor refuse. It could be considered as giving Hunter Gong some face.

"Where's your third grandpa?"

Hunter Gong and Gong Hu's grandfather were brothers, so they were the third oldest in the family.

After Gong Hu paid his respects, he replied, "Third grandpa is discussing in the village. My grandpa told me to invite grandpa Gong over and he said he wanted me and Xiaoxiao to go with him."

"Gong family's business. I'm afraid that it won't be good if I go."

Li Chen directly refused. After staying outside the Gong family's village for two years, Li Chen tried his best to get involved in the internal grudges of the Gong family. It is said that where there are people there are struggles, either between two classes or within the same class. The small Gong Family's village was no exception. For the sake of their clan's authority, even a few acres of land on the mountain or in the mountain could be destroyed.

The reason that Hunter Gong lived alone was because he didn't want to get involved with these matters.

"Third Grandpa said that I must invite you over. It's a big matter."

Gong Hu was not willing to give up and brought out the hunter. Li Chen had lived here for two years, so Gong Zhui wouldn't get involved with the family's affairs, and he wouldn't come to bother Li Chen. Gong Hu did not dare to lie to Li Chen. Something big might really have happened to Hunter Gong if he was able to change his attitude. Li Chen reluctantly agreed to go over and listen, but did not express any opinions.

After scooping up a chicken leg for Gong Lingruo to eat, Li Chen, Li Ke, and Gong Lingruo followed Gong Hu back to the village.

Gong Ling Ruo sat on Gong Hu's horse as she happily ate the chicken leg. She rubbed all the fat on the horse's neck. It was so oily that it reflected a satin silky luster under the sunlight.

Gong Hu could only helplessly smile bitterly. There was nothing he could do about his little cousin. Looking at Li Chen and Li Ke, he thought to himself, "You guys can spoil her! Go to someone's house when you see them. "

Although Li Ke and Gong Lingruo's baby marriage wasn't decided, it was a tacit agreement.

It would be hard to change it without some big surprises.

The atmosphere in the Gong family's village was very tense. The men all wore leather armors that they prepared and stood guard on the walls of the village with weapons in hand. Occasionally, he would hear people talking about them. However, the topic of 'fighting enemies' was not too much about the Ma Xiong. '

Li Ke didn't plan on guessing and directly asked Gong Hu, "Brother Hu, didn't you say that the Ma Xiong is here to collect the rules? How did we become enemies again? What's going on? "

Gong Hu replied, "I can't explain it clearly. After we arrive at the ancestral hall, let Grandfather and the others explain it to you."

"Oh!"

Li Ke did not continue asking and followed him all the way to the Gong family's village's ancestral hall.

Gong Hu's grandfather, the village elders, and the hunter were all present. The old village chief was at the door to welcome Li Chen, inviting Li Chen to sit in the guest seat as he ordered people to bring tea and food.

Li Ke was arranged to sit beside Li Chen's wall. If Gong Ling is brought to eat, the ancestral hall cannot easily let girls in and out.

Everyone sat down. When Li Ke saw Hunter Gong's smelly expression, he knew that today's matter wasn't simple. He rarely saw Hunter Gong so angry.

The Old Village Chief said, "Mister Li, it's all thanks to Mister's care these past two years. It's been a lot quieter inside and outside the village." The fact that Li Chen was a Level 9 Warrior had long been spread out.

With a Level 9 Warrior holding the fort, the small gangsters nearby did not dare to provoke the Gong Family's village. Only Big Willow's gangsters dared to come and collect the money. They did not dare to ask for too much.

As long as it wasn't too excessive, the Gong family's village would follow the rules and pay the money.

Everyone, take a step back.

"You're too polite." I wonder why the Village Chief has called me here? " Li Ke was also very polite, as he was giving face to the hunter.
