Chapter 112: Looking forward to self-pride
Chen Zhongnan, the third son of the Capricorn Sect Sect Leader Chen Jianqiu, has quite a cultivation talent, but compared with Chen Jianqiu's other children, his cultivation talent is only mediocre.
Chen Zhongnan has been smart and clever since he was a child, and just from his appearance, he is different from many other brothers, of course, half-brothers.
A rugged and majestic appearance is a common characteristic of northerners, and Chen Jianqiu's sons highlight these characteristics, and their personalities are particularly rough and brutal, fierce and aggressive, but lacking the wit and intelligence of southerners.
And Chen Zhongnan is like an outlier in the family, looking like his mother, handsome and elegant, with a neutral beauty.
Quick-wittedness, a trait he was proud of, and the main reason why his father doted on him. Chen Zhongnan despised his rough and violent brothers in his heart.
However, it is precisely the reason why he has been thinking of himself for a long time that has caused the current situation of being in a deep crisis.
Since Chen Zhongnan set out to conquer the south, he has conquered cities and conquered everywhere, which can be said to be smooth sailing and unfavorable.
This made him, who was looking forward to himself, rashly penetrated into the interior of Xunjiabao recklessly, and he could not suppress his excitement, and he commanded this riot very conceitedly.
At this time, in a huge cave, more than a dozen people sat around the fire, all with frowning brows and sad expressions full of black lines.
Chen Zhongnan, who was in a desperate situation, was physically and mentally haggard, "Do I really want to die here." The thought of this made his mind split, and he clenched his fists anxiously and squeezed his sideburns.
"Young master, don't be too anxious, even if we are desperate, we must protect your well. It was Tuhu who followed him who spoke.
"How to protect it, look outside, where is there still a way to live. Chen Zhongnan suppressed the nerves that were about to collapse and said.
"I don't know what happened to those tens of thousands of brothers. A young man with an emaciated face and a glazed gaze stared at the blazing fire said.
"I hope that the leader Lao Zhou is smart, otherwise the loss will be great. ”
"The people sent by Xunjiabao are stronger than us, not to mention ...... in the geographical environment they are familiar with. ”
There are more than a dozen people in the cave chatting with each other, and there is also a cave carved out of each of the caves, and more than 100 people live on both sides.
They were besieged here for several days, but they sent people to take turns to hold on to the cave, but they did not dare to stay far from this place.
Around this cave, there are groups of spirit beasts lurking, and their numbers seem to be increasing.
Xun Qianhu's plan made the day before was implemented very effectively the next day.
A few days later, they got rid of most of the spirit beasts that had been following behind them, and the rest were either killed by them or fled elsewhere.
And some of the spirit beasts were really as they expected, and they flew directly around Chen Zhongnan's station.
So the spirit beast that had been on the sidelines began to launch a tentative attack on the guards on duty outside.
The people in the cave heard the sound and walked out of the cave to look, and the more than ten spirit beasts who came here to provoke saw the sudden appearance of the human head, and they also retreated back dozens of meters in fear.
"Old Tu, what now? They don't seem to want to wait. One person asked Tuhu beside him.
Tuhu frowned and asked, "Is anyone hurt?"
"There were several, two of them, very badly injured. A voice came from a little farther away.
Tu Hu looked at the retreating spirit beasts, which were a group of purple flame wolves, even in the daytime, their eyes forced a faint red glow.
What frightened Tu Hu even more was that in the grass and trees around the more than a dozen purple flame wolves, there were still shadows of their kind.
"These brutes want to lure us in. Tuhu lowered his voice.
"Well, we can see that too, old Tu, what should we do?" asked one of the people next to him.
Tuhu looked back at the cave, and the languishing Chen Zhongnan did not come out of the cave.
He looked around at the dozen or so people around him and said softly, "We can't continue to drag on here, otherwise there will only be a dead end." ”
No one answered, and they all looked at him nervously.
"Only take a gamble and escort the young master out," Tu Hu's voice was lowered.
"When?" one couldn't help but ask.
"Now, when you look at this situation, the more you wait, the slimmer the chances. Tuhu gritted his teeth and continued: "There are more than ten of us here, and in the family of the Capricorn Sect, who doesn't have a hundred or ten mouths? If the young master has an accident, no one in our family will want to live, and all of them will have to be buried for him. ”
The people around him all showed sadness.
"I also understand that with more than 100 of us, there is little certainty that we will escort the young master out from here, and the chances of us people leaving alive are even smaller, but for the sake of the family, we can only gamble. Tuhu's eyes were wide open, and the beard on his cheeks seemed to be full of tragedy on his face.
Xun Qianhu and nearly two thousand people had already walked out of the dangerous place, and Tuhu didn't know about this situation, thinking that the cultivators of Xunjiabao were still surrounded behind them.
So Tuhu and a dozen other leaders, each of whom instigated his own men, protected their young master, made a big bend, and began to break through from the other side.
They had only one purpose, that is, to send their young master Chen Zhongnan out safely, and they had no other distractions.
Hundreds of purple flame wolves were teased by their actions, as if they were going crazy.
What's more, on the periphery of the wolves, there are more spirit beast groups ready to act depending on the opportunity.
More than 100 Tuhu rushed left and right, and soon more than 100 people lost most of them.
No one had compassion for the fellow sect who was torn and devoured by the spirit beasts, and everywhere they went, the heavens and the earth trembled, and the screams and screams even the stratus clouds in the sky were swept and rolled by the waves.
But the speed of their flight has not slowed down, and the price they have paid for this has been the lives of the same family.
More than two hours later, there were less than twenty people left, but the madness of the Purple Flame Wolf had not diminished in the slightest.
But they also ushered in the last glimmer of opportunity, in front of them, there was a canyon of two mountains facing each other, the mouth of the valley was narrow, and the left and right mountain walls were extremely steep.
"Young master, get into the canyon, quick!" someone shouted.
"We're going to stop this herd at the mouth of the valley. "This is the roar of Tuhu.
Chen Zhongnan flashed in when he heard this, he was covered in blood, but the blood was not from his body, but from those subordinates of the protector who sprayed on him.
Xiao Nan and Wei Shuangling walked in the jungle for another five days, and the two of them also spent these five days fighting and killing.
Xiao Nan, the spirit beast he encountered at the beginning, dealt with it very easily, and directly hit it comfortably, and he could deal with the spirit beast in a few minutes.
But on the fourth day of going deep into the jungle, he felt a little laborious to fight against a single spirit beast, and the consumption of spiritual power was also very large.
By the afternoon of this day, the two of them met a phoenix-patterned leopard in a relatively open place, and Wei Shuangling was still the same as in the first few days, leaning under a big tree.
It was only in the first few rounds that Xiao Nan was injured by the extremely fast and sharp claw shadow of this spirit beast.
In the next ten minutes, he cast countless eyes on Wei Shuangling for help.
Wei Shuangling was as if he didn't know, learning Xiao Nan's usual expression, and raised his eyebrows at him in reply.
"Help, I can't beat it. Xiao Nan knew that the strength of himself and this phoenix-patterned leopard was too far away, so he was so anxious that he shouted at Wei Shuangling.
"You didn't fight, you just ran, how do you know you can't beat?" Wei Shuangling said to him lazily.
Xiao Nan secretly hated in his heart when he heard this, "It's dangerous to dodge, I want to make a move, and I will die faster." ”
Regardless of whether Wei Shuangling was giving him a chance to practice, in a hurry, he simply ran in the direction of Wei Shuangling.
Wei Shuangling chuckled when he saw this, and his figure flashed and jumped onto the treetops.
Due to the straight escape route, Xiao Nan's back was hit by a claw shadow that was rapidly rowing.
Xiao Nan, who had already fled under the tree, was shocked, jumped with his legs hard, and flew to the trunk of the tree where Wei Shuangling was standing.
Then he turned around in a panic, and seeing that the phoenix-patterned leopard had also made a leap, Xiao Nan hurriedly pinched his hand, and in an instant, the slender figure of the phoenix-patterned leopard was already in the air.
Xiao Nan's mind turned sharply, and two vines suddenly burst out from the ground, and the spirit beast that jumped up in the air seemed to be aware of it, and instinctively wanted to dodge.
With a "bang", the spirit beast chose to dodge in a slightly wrong direction, and its body was obstructed by the tree trunk.
When the spirit beast turned to dodge to the side of the tree, its waist hit the thick trunk hard, and the thud came from this.
At the same time, the two vines released by Xiao Nan stabbed upwards from the bottom of the tree like arrows from the string, impartially, and the two magic vines penetrated from under the chest and abdomen of the spirit beast.
A piercing roar resounded through the jungle, but in front of the two of them, two vines were spilled from the entrails pulled out of the phoenix leopard's body.
Xiao Nan felt that his arm was tight, and in a trance, he was pulled away by Wei Shuangling and flew away a few feet away.
"It hurts, let it go. Xiao Nan screamed, Wei Shuangling was pulling his left arm, and he happened to be hurting his left shoulder and back.
Wei Shuangling smiled gently at him, "Look, I didn't help, and you won it." ”
Xiao Nan grinned in pain, and said angrily: "You didn't help." If I helped, I would definitely lose without a skeleton. ”
"Hmph, isn't it wrong to let you practice a few more times?" Wei Shuangling's eyes were filled with tears when he was angry.
Seeing this, Xiao Nan was also a little ashamed in his heart, so he had to raise his eyebrows and smile apologetically at her.
Wei Shuangling's mouth pursed, his face turned gloomy, and he didn't pay attention to him, took out the medicine, and turned behind him.
Tearing open a few torn clothes on his back, cleaning the wound with medicinal liquid, and applying medicine, Wei Shuangling's movements were unusually delicate and gentle.
"I've finally met someone I can lose my temper with her, and you must not ignore me. Xiao Nan turned his head and whispered to her.
Wei Shuangling was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then gently pressed his cheek to his uninjured shoulder.
In the cave, the two of them barbecued the fine meat cut from the hind legs of the phoenix leopard.
"I'd love to learn a set of magic using weapons. Xiao Nan said stupidly.
"What's wrong again?" Wei Shuangling was busy in front of the grill, his fair cheeks glowing with flames.
"I hit it with a wind and thunder punch first, and it was like hitting an iron plate, and it didn't even bother to dodge. ”
"Well, I also saw it, that phoenix leopard is not low-level. ”
Wei Shuangling's words, both of them seemed to be in deep thought.
After eating and drinking, Wei Shuangling got up and said: "Outside the cave, I have arranged a secret formation, but I am afraid that a high-level spirit beast will break in, you will help guard this cave tonight, and I will go to the cave to do some work." ”
Xiao Nan didn't think much about it when she heard this, since she said so, she would meditate and practice outside for one night.
