Qin Luzhu fell asleep, Zhang Chi did not sleep, firstly because he did not have any tiredness, and secondly, he had to seize the time to understand his current physical condition. Although his grandfather passed on his spiritual energy to Tianxing without reservation, he is now like a poor boy who has suddenly inherited the wealth of the Wanguan family, and he still doesn't know how to spend it, how to spend this money to achieve the greatest value and play the greatest role.

Zhang Chi uses the real fire to refine his body, and at the same time, he can also heat Qin Luzhu, this nine-square-meter underground space is warm, and Qin Luzhu sleeps very sweetly in such an environment. The comfort of the environment is secondary, the key is to have a sense of security by her side.

Zhang Chi's body now has a powerful spiritual energy, and he has also mastered the method of energy transformation, and the bottleneck that once plagued him in the past is no longer a problem, and he can easily cross it. In a short period of time, the third realm of quenching bones has been completed, both rigidity and softness, and the internal organs have also completed the tempering of the heart, and the skin and flesh are about to break through the third realm, and it is estimated that a few more cultivations will be able to break through the third realm of naughty meat.

Zhang Daxian finished refining his body, opened his eyes, his eyesight has obviously improved greatly, even in the dim ground**, he can see the details of the surroundings clearly, his eyes fell on Qin Luzhu's pretty face, seeing her fragrant dream, he couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Zhang Chi had no intention of disturbing Qin Luzhu's sleep, all the way, Qin Luzhu had not rested well, and her physique was not as good as her after all. Zhang Chi wanted to lie down next to Qin Luzhu's side, but suddenly heard a faint conversation in his ears.

I was stunned in my heart, convinced that I had heard correctly, the location they were now was about five meters underground, and it was reasonable to say that they could isolate the sound above, it should be that their hearing had also improved, Zhang Chi soon realized that it was not just because of hearing, the sound was transmitted along the roots of the tree.

Someone leaned against the trunk of a tree on the surface, so their conversation was conducted along the trunk all the way to the roots.

Zhang Chi quietly came to the root of the tree, listened attentively, and sure enough, he heard more clearly.

"Little Red Sakura, don't be sad, I believe that Mr. Sun has a spirit in the sky and hopes that you are safe and sound......"

Zhang Chi secretly exclaimed, no coincidence could not write a book, he didn't expect to be able to meet Chu Jianghe and Xiao Hongying here, the two of them escaped from the ruins of the holy city, and they happened to escape here. However, the Sword Thorn Forest is so large, the chances of meeting in front of the same tree are also very small.

Xiao Hongying was originally determined to stay and advance and retreat with her grandfather, but Chu Jianghe took advantage of her unpreparedness to knock her unconscious, and when she woke up, she had already entered the Sword Thorn Forest. Little Red Sakura couldn't accept the fact that she had left her grandfather to escape alone, so she washed her face with tears.

Chu Jianghe actually didn't see Lao Sun Tou killed with his own eyes, but he thought in his heart that Lao Sun Tou must be more than lucky.

Little Red Sakura sobbed and said, "Brother Chu, why don't you save ...... My grandfather ......"

Chu Jianghe sighed and said: "It's not that I don't save him, but in that situation, Mr. Sun sacrificed his life to stop He Donglai, so that we have a chance to leave, of course I want to save him, I hate to live and die with him, but if I stay, who else can save you? Do you want all of us to die together?" he said eloquently.

Zhang Chi secretly scolded Chu Jianghe for not being a good thing, greedy for life and afraid of death, greedy for life and afraid of death, and used such shameless lies to deceive ignorant girls.

At this time, Qin Luzhu also woke up, came to his side, and learned him to lie on the root of the tree and listen to the movement outside.

Little Red Sakura said with tears in her eyes: "Brother Chu, I want to go back and have a look, maybe...... Maybe my grandfather will be able to escape?"

Chu Jianghe shook his head and said, "Don't be stupid, your grandfather ...... him" He sighed and said: "Little Red Sakura, Mr. Sun entrusted me to take care of you, and I promised him that he would naturally be responsible for it to the end." ”

Little Red Sakura said: "I don't want you to take care of me, I can take care of myself." She twisted her shoulders, got rid of Chu Jianghe's hands, wiped away her tears and stood up and said, "No matter what you choose, I want to go back." ”

Chu Jiang Dao: "Your grandfather is dead!"

When Sakura heard him say this, she cried.

Qin Luzhu was filled with indignation when he heard this, and he couldn't wait to rush out and beat Chu Jianghe bitterly, this guy was really shameless, the old grandson was not dead at that time, wasn't he greedy for life and afraid of death and left the old grandson and fled? Now he said that the old grandson was dead, and he didn't see it with his own eyes, why did he say it so calmly, not to mention, if it wasn't for him, the old grandson and they wouldn't have come to the ruins of the holy city to adventure together.

Chu Jianghe stretched out his hand to hug the little red cherry blossom, and said softly: "Don't be sad, people will eventually die, Mr. Sun chose to stay desperately in order to protect you from escaping, and fight with He Donglai to the end, you must not let down the old man's hard work." ”

Xiao Hongying said in a trembling voice: "I don't have any relatives anymore. ”

"Silly girl, I'm your relative, didn't you say you want to go to my hometown with me, I'll take you back, okay?"

Xiao Hongying raised her head and looked at Chu Jianghe with tearful eyes: "Really?"

Chu Jiang Daodao: "Naturally, it's true, when did I lie to you, but before we go there, there is one more thing to do." ”

Little Red Sakura said, "What's the matter?"

Chu Jiang Dao: "Find the Demon Bead." ”

Little Red Sakura said, "But how to retrieve the Demon Suppression Bead?"

Chu Jiang Daodao: "Let's hurry up and go to Hunting Wind Valley, it should be too late." ”

Little Red Sakura said, "Hunting Wind Valley?"

Chu Jiang Daodao: "Only from the Hunting Wind Valley can I activate the teleportation array and return to my hometown." ”

Zhang Chi secretly laughed in his heart that Chu Jianghe was ignorant, and he didn't necessarily have to go to Hunting Wind Valley if he wanted to go back, but after thinking about it, if Chu Jianghe came with a purpose, then he should have a way to go back, last time He Donglai took them to leave from Hunting Wind Valley, and it was normal for Chu Jianghe to have such thoughts.

Xiao Hongying said: "Brother Chu, do you mean that it was your own people who stole the Demon Suppression Bead?"

Chu Jianghe nodded and said, "It's either Zhang Chi or Cao Chengguang." ”

Zhang Chi heard that he actually framed himself, and secretly scolded this thing for living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and the original purpose of going to the ruins of the holy city by himself was to prevent He Donglai and Qin Junshi from entering it, but now it is understood that this matter has been arranged from the beginning, Cao Chengguang and Chu Jianghe are both suspicious, Qin Junqing used to blackmail herself, and begged herself to help with alchemy, all of them were routines, just to cover up her true purpose.

Zhang Chi didn't tell Qin Luzhu these things, he didn't want Qin Luzhu to be sad, and he didn't want to destroy Qin Junqing's image in her heart, after all, Qin Junqing was her mother, when many doubts were focused on Qin Junqing, Zhang Chi thought of something that was extremely scary, and when he left here, he must confirm it.

Xiao Hongying said: "It is impossible for Brother Zhang to do such a thing, it should be Cao Chengguang, there are traces of earth escape in the ruins." ”

Zhang Chi was very pleased, Xiao Hongying still believed in her character.

Chu Jianghe and Xiao Hongying left two hours later, knowing where they were going, so they didn't have to follow and pursue.

Zhang Chi and Qin Luzhu returned to the ground, only to find that it was snowing outside, and there were two pairs of footprints that had been extending to the southeast, one large and one small, which were obviously left by Chu Jianghe and Xiaohong Sakura. Qin Luzhu sighed and said, "Chu Jianghe is really hateful, he actually deceived such a simple little girl. ”

Zhang Chi said: "At that time, they couldn't help in that situation, and I don't think Chu Jianghe may have bad intentions towards Xiao Hongying." He still remembers that Chu Jianghe did not hesitate to fight with slave traders in order to rescue Xiao Hongying, even if he was a big traitor, there was a good part in his heart, maybe Chu Jianghe had good thoughts about Xiao Hongying.

The two of them marched in the direction of Hunting Wind Valley, since Chu Jianghe could think of leaving from Hunting Wind Valley, Cao Chengguang should be able to do it too.

Because of the wind and snow, Chu Jianghe and Xiao Hongying's movements slowed down, and they left clear footprints on the snow, which made it easy for Zhang Chi and them to grasp their whereabouts.

By the time they entered the open snow in the center of the Sword Thorn Forest, they were already close to each other.

This empty snow field is not covered by big trees, it is because there has been a fire in this area, which has burned a large number of trees, so it has caused the current situation, Qin Luzhu took out the telescope and looked ahead, and in the field of vision, he could see two figures walking hard against the wind and snow.

Qin Luzhu handed the telescope to Zhang Chi and said softly, "Are we going to follow all the time?"

Zhang Chi shook his head and said, "Go around, overtake them, and arrive at Hunting Wind Valley as soon as possible, the sooner the better." "His purpose is not Chu Jianghe but Cao Chengguang, according to Chu Jianghe's current movement speed, it is estimated that it will take ten days to reach Hunting Wind Valley, time is extremely precious to them, only by intercepting him before Cao Chengguang leaves the Netherworld Ruins, can there be any hope of retrieving the Demon Suppression Bead, if Cao Chengguang leaves smoothly and hands over the Demon Suppression Bead to Xie Zhongjun, I am afraid it will be difficult to reverse the situation again.

Zhang Chi returned the telescope to Qin Luzhu, Qin Luzhu picked it up again, looked at it, and whispered: "Let's go around from the right, if we want to continue to walk in the forest without being discovered by them, we may have to walk a little more." ”

Zhang Chi smiled: "No need to detour, you forgot to avoid the dust beads, we can surpass them from the ground." ”

Qin Luzhu said: "The energy of the dust bead is also limited, if we use it endlessly, in case we run out of energy, it will not be useful at the critical moment." ”

Zhang Chi couldn't help laughing: "How can the treasure of heaven and earth be as pustuary as you think, it just works, even if we die, the energy in it will not be exhausted." ”

Qin Luzhu was disgusted that he was unlucky in speaking, and was suddenly attracted by another matter, and exclaimed, "Oh no, they are being targeted." She found that hundreds of Nether warriors were outflanking the forest on either side, and because of their high position and telescopes in their hands, they could see clearly, while Chu Jianghe and Little Red Sakura, who had been surrounded, were still unaware.

Zhang Chi frowned.

Qin Luzhu said: "What should I do?"

Zhang Chi said: "I can only save people first." ”

Chu Jianghe and Xiao Hongying had already come to the center of the snow field, which was in the open air, lacking concealment, and it was very easy to expose their whereabouts, and the two of them were also very careful, Chu Jianghe suddenly stopped, and he heard the voices coming from the forest on both sides.

Chu Jianghe took off his longbow, bent his bow and set up an arrow, and shot an arrow into the forest, the feather arrow hit the chest of a netherworld, and the netherworld warrior was shot to the ground and then quickly got up, and hundreds of netherworlds swarmed out from the forests on both sides.

Chu Jianghe yelled: "Little Red Sakura, you hide first." ”

Sakura is a member of the Shigemu clan, and she also has the ability to escape, but their feet are full of snow and ice, and below the ice is frozen soil, and Sakura has no ability to penetrate the ice. She drew two scimitars and said, "Let's kill them together!"

Chu Jianghe nodded, and shot out like a cannon of feather arrows in his hand, his archery skills were good, the arrows were not missing, and he had already shot seven before the Netherworld Warriors approached, but the lethality of his feather arrows was obviously not enough, and after those Netherworld Warriors were shot, they immediately continued to rush forward.

Chu Jianghe snorted coldly, and pulled out the broadsword from his back, this sword has a strange shape, about four feet long and about half a foot wide, it gradually narrows from the sword blade to the blade, the blade is jagged, Chu Jianghe holds the sword in both hands, and a sword will cut off the head of the Netherworld warrior who rushed first.

The sword was dyed with blue blood, glowing with blue and white brilliance, Xiao Hongying slammed the handles of the two scimitars together, the two knives instantly merged, the wrists rotated, this strange weapon rotated like a propeller, in the knife light wrapping, Xiao Hongying killed into the array of the Netherworld, the blade rotated at high speed, setting off a large area of snow and bright brilliance, but whenever the Netherworld Warrior who was close to the blade was immediately split by the sharp blade, the little red Sakura looked weak, but the combat power was not inferior to Chu Jianghe.

Heavy footsteps sounded on the ground, and the ape with a white skull rushed out of the woods, and it rushed straight towards the little red cherry tree.

Little Red Sakura was not afraid, the double knives rotated with the rotation of her wrists, and the speed was extremely fast, and she wanted to cut off the behemoth in front of her.

Poop!

The blade slashed at the waist of the ape, and the ice chips flew wildly, although the blade was sharp, but the special structure formed by the ice coating body hair outside the ape's body was dense and dense, forming a layer of strong ice armor covering a layer outside its body. Sakura's knife used all her strength, but it only cut off some of the ape's hair, and it didn't even touch its skin.

The ape was tall and strong, and after the slash slashed at it, it roared and smashed it down from above.

Xiao Hongying could only use her double knives to block the grid in a hurry, and she didn't have any advantage at all in a head-to-head confrontation, and the ape's punch smashed the two knives that were combined into a split, and Xiao Hongsakura shook violently and sat on the snow.

Chu Jianghe killed in time, jumped in the air, jumped in mid-air, and slashed at the skeleton of the ape with both hands with a broadsword.

Boom!

Chu Jianghe's inevitable sword not only failed to cut off the ape's head, but instead shocked his arms numb, the tiger's mouth cracked, and the ape smashed Chu Jianghe's abdomen with a backhand, knocking Chu Jianghe upside down.

Little Red Sakura struggled to get up from the ground, but failed to do so, the ape had come closer, she reached out to grab the scimitar on the snow, just grabbed the handle, the blade was trampled by the ape's big feet, purple light flames appeared in the black hole eye socket of the ape, stretched out her right hand to catch the prey that had lost the ability to resist.

Zhang Chi and Qin Luzhu had not yet arrived at the battlefield, and the two of them were still a little late after all.

Qin Luzhu bent his bow and arrows, Zhang Chi stretched out his hand and flicked it on the tip of the arrow, the tip of the arrow burned, the full moon-like bow suddenly relaxed, and the burning feather arrow broke through the air and shot towards the ape.

The ape sensed the danger coming, it reached out and grabbed a Netherworld warrior beside it, and used the Netherworld's body to block Qin Luzhu's arrow, and the burning arrow tip was nailed into the Netherworld's body, and the Netherworld Warrior burst into flames.

Sakura also got a chance to breathe, and she struggled to get up from the ground and take a step to escape the ape.

Chu Jianghe fell on the snow, and immediately several Netherworld warriors surrounded him, brandishing ice blades and ice spears to attack him, Chu Jianghe's heart was gloomy, I am dead, he closed his eyes, ready to accept the fate of being hacked to death by a knife, but for a while he didn't feel the pain of the knife and spear piercing into his body, he opened his eyes and looked, but saw that the Netherworld who was attacking around his body had lost their heads one by one, and the headless Netherworld Qi Brush fell to the ground.

A middle-aged man wearing a leather hat and a leather jacket stood proudly on the snow with a long knife in his hand, Chu Jianghe's eyes were hot, and the person who rescued him from the Netherworld Katana at the moment of life and death was He Donglai.

He Donglai stabbed a netherworld warrior who intended to sneak attack him with a backhand, and glanced at Chu Jianghe on the ground: "Can you move?"

Chu Jianghe nodded, grabbed his broadsword and got up again from the ground, roared angrily, and split the Netherworld Diagonal Line that rushed from the opposite side into two sections with a single sword.

An arrow shot by Qin Luzhu at a critical moment won the opportunity for Xiao Hongying to escape.

Azoru tossed the flaming Nether Samurai aside, and was about to go after Sakura again, when he noticed a cube of ice the size of a millstone thrown at him in front of him. The ape raised his fist and smashed it into the ice, which it didn't think would do any harm to it.

Disheveled!

The ice cube was smashed apart by the ape's punch, but something unexpected happened to everyone, a fireball exploded inside the ice cube, and the ice contained fire, and two completely different substances were combined together in such a way.

The ape's right fist inevitably hit the fireball, and the fire spread along the ape's fist to its right arm.

After throwing the ice cubes that hid the fireballs, Zhang Daxian rushed towards the ape with lightning speed, and the dragon scale knife in his hand stabbed the ape in the abdomen.

Although the ape is huge, it is very agile, and a flip widens the distance between it and Zhang Chi, and with his left hand, he grabs a scimitar that Xiao Hongzakura has just dropped to the ground, and slashes it down on his burning right arm.

The right arm was broken at the elbow, and the flaming right fist fell on the snow with the entire forearm, and the ape actually knew the power of the Samadhi True Fire, and made the decision to survive with a broken arm at the critical moment.
