Jingyang, Yi Qingfeng, and Zhong Jialei walked towards the mountain, the mountains were lush and overgrown with weeds, and the mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk. ”

Zhong Jialei said: "I went to the mountains with Tie Jian to look for him once, and there is still an hour away, so we have to walk for a while." ”

Yi Qingfeng said: "The Rat King has the ability to reach the sky, he has been busy for a long time, but I am afraid that it is not a trivial matter, the day before yesterday he also said that he would give us a surprise, it seems that this matter is of some benefit to us." ”

The three of them walked and chatted all the way, and they were about to arrive at the location of the Rat King, when suddenly there seemed to be a sound of water flowing in their ears, Zhong Jia Lei Qi said: "Did you two hear the sound of water, I remember that this area is full of mountains and forests, there are no rivers and the like, what is the matter with such a loud sound of water?"

Yi Qingfeng said: "Where there are mountains, there is naturally water, which is not surprising. ”

Zhong Jialei said: "Nonsense, I have been here with Iron Arm, such a loud sound of water is estimated to be a small river, and when we came last time, all we saw were weeds and woods, where did the sound of water come from." ”

Seeing what Zhong Jialei said, Yi Qingfeng said: "Now the sound of water in my ears is clear, I am afraid that there is water nearby, but I am afraid that it will not run, and you have to say that you didn't see the water when you came back, then I don't know what is going on." ”

Zhong Jialei said to himself: "It seems that the rat king is a ghost, and strange things happened in this area when I came back, and the trees on the mountain that originally grew well all died for some reason."

Jing Yang raised his eyes and looked into the distance: "You are right, there is indeed a withered forest not far ahead, where you and Iron Arm found the Rat King last time?"

Zhong Jialei said: "Yes, that's it." ”

Jingyang said: "Then what is there to argue, let's go forward and see if we have our own knowledge." Saying that, he and Yi Qingfeng and Zhong Jialei walked forward quickly. The three of them rushed for a while, and soon reached the dead forest, and the sound of the water in their ears became louder and louder, and the three of them followed the sound, and sure enough, they found a small river in a low place at the edge of the woods, and saw that the river had enough water, and it kept flowing downstream.

Seeing that the river was in front of him, Yi Qingfeng said: "Isn't there a river, Jia Lei, look, who just said that there is no water in this place?"

Zhong Jialei said confusedly: "No, I remember that I didn't see this river when I came with Tie Jian last time, maybe I remembered it wrong." ”

Zhong Jialei was wondering to himself, but Jingyang's shout came from his ears: "Come here, there are some strange things growing in this river, I don't know if it's flowers or grass, but the color is red and bright, but it's very beautiful." ”

Yi Qingfeng and Zhong Jialei hurriedly ran to Jingyang's side, as he said, there are indeed some red and bright flowers and plants growing in the river, if these flowers and plants grow on the ground, it is not unusual, but it is somewhat surprising to grow in the water.

The three of them looked at the river for a while, and Yi Qingfeng said: "Aren't we here to look for the Rat King, why don't you just care about playing around here and put the business aside." ”

A sentence reminded Jing Yang and Zhong Jialei, Jing Yang said: "Yes, yes, this flower and grass is not unusual, let's hurry up and find the Rat King, have you two seen his old man's figure?"

Zhong Jialei said: "You didn't ask knowingly, if we saw it, how could we not tell you." ”

Yi Qingfeng said: "Okay, let's stop talking nonsense, it's important to find someone quickly." Saying that, the three of them shouted loudly in the dead woods, "Rat King, Rat King"

The three of them shouted for a while, but they never heard a response from the Rat King, and it was obvious that he was not nearby. Zhong Jialei said helplessly: "The Rat King doesn't seem to be nearby, what should I do, should we look for it separately?"

Yi Qingfeng said: "I don't think it's necessary, it's so easy to find a person in the vast mountains, and besides, we don't have anything important to see him right away, it's a big deal to see him when we go back to the cottage when we have lunch." ”

Jingyang said: "Qingfeng is reasonable, let's not look everywhere in vain, in my opinion, we will guard here, if you can see the rat king within half an hour, it is best to go back to the cottage if you can't see it." ”

The three of them made up their minds, so they walked around in the dead woods to pass the time, half an hour passed in a flash, and the figure of the Rat King still did not appear, Yi Qingfeng said: "Forget it, let's not wait, let's go back to the cottage first." Saying that, he went in the direction of the cottage with Jingyang and Zhong Jialei.

The three of them walked for a while, and the voice of the Rat King suddenly came from their ears: "You three don't practice well, why are you lazy here?"

Yi Qingfeng followed the sound, only to see the Rat King carrying a few wild animals in his hand and slowly walked over from the forest not far away, and the three of them were overjoyed: "Rat King, I can be regarded as looking for you, we have been waiting for you in the dry forest for a long time, it turns out that you came here to look for game." ”

The Rat King said: "What are you looking for me to do, I will naturally go back to the cottage when the meal is served, is there something urgent today?"

Yi Qingfeng said: "What's the urgency, it's just because we're tired of practicing, so I took the time to take a look at you, and wanted to see what you were busy with in the mountains." ”

The Rat King said, "Since you have gone to the dry forest, have you found any mysteries?"

Zhong Jialei said: "I came to Tie Jian once before, at that time we only thought that the withered forest was very strange, just now and Qingfeng and Jingyang went to the forest again, and found a river, I don't know where the river came from, there was obviously no one when I came before, the rat king, you are busy here every day, do you know the origin of the river?"

The Rat King said: "I was going to tell you about this in two days, but since you all saw it today, then I won't hide it." The reason why the forest will wither and the new river that will emerge is because of a thing, this thing is the spiritual seed called "Iron Linglong" sown in the forest a few days ago, this thing has a strong vitality, and the nutrients in the ground are naturally absorbed by them, and the plants and trees that originally grew lost their nutrients and withered. In addition, this thing is the most water-disgusting, because of its great ability, it drove all the water in the nearby fields to one place, so there is the small river. ”

Listening to the rat king's words, Jingyang, Yi Qingfeng, and Zhong Jialei were dumbfounded, the three of them had never heard of such a rare species, not to mention that they could drive all the water in the soil to one place, not to mention that they could also drive all the water in the soil to one place.

Yi Qingfeng said in disbelief: "Rat King, is what you said true, it can't be a nonsense, right?"

The Rat King snorted coldly: "I don't have that spare time to play with you, what I said is true, this thing is a species in the spiritual realm, naturally it has its own uniqueness, it is normal for you to be difficult to understand now, and when you have the opportunity to set foot in the spiritual realm, you will not be surprised." ”

Seeing what the Rat King said, Jing Yang said happily: "Rat King, you sowed this magical species in the forest, thinking that this thing will bloom and bear fruit or something, could it be that the fruit of this thing can be eaten?"

The Rat King said: "Of course, otherwise this king will plant them for no reason, the fruit of this thing is not only delicious, but also will be of great benefit to the improvement of your skills." ”

Yi Qingfeng, Jingyang, and Zhong Jialei couldn't help but say overjoyed: "That's great, I don't know when I'll be able to eat the fruit of this thing?"

The Rat King said: "It's coming, it's just the same for three or four days, when you all bring your hoes, let's come to this forest and dig up the delicious fruits." As he spoke, he walked briskly towards the cottage.
