Chapter 22: The First Stop

Xiao Liu held the spar in his mouth, squinted his eyes and looked ahead, and suddenly waved his hand excitedly.

Zhang Xiaofeng's pace also slowed down.

I saw that there was still a very tall stone monument in front of me, which was not much different from the one I saw when I came in.

I think it's time to get to the exit.

It's no wonder that Xiaoliu is so happy, I'm afraid that the high-intensity rush in the past few days has also made the little girl have a certain psychological shadow.

After the last stretch of the road, Zhang Xiaofeng used his mana and used the phantom technique to rush in the direction of the stone stele.

looked at the distance so closely, but still walked a few sticks of incense.

Stepping out of the boundary drawn by the stone stele, Zhang Xiaofeng looked back at Xiao Liu, and obviously saw the little girl breathing a sigh of relief.

Turning his head to look at the stele.

It is still a pen walking dragon and snake, vigorous and powerful four big characters.

Beast Valley.

After looking at the words on the stele for a long time, Zhang Xiaofeng took a deep breath, turned his head and continued to walk forward.

Out of the Lingxiao Beast Valley, you still have to walk a long way to reach a popular place, it stands to reason that those who can live in this kind of place should be some ordinary people, and some powerful tribes or ethnic groups will definitely not like to live so close to the place where the demon beasts are bred in captivity.

Xiaoliu was finally able to land.

Carrying her small back basket, the spar inside is like a treasure, and from time to time she takes it out to wipe the ashes and take a look.

The other hand tugged at Zhang Xiaofeng's sleeve.

Out of the Beast Valley, the flow of time in the outside world returned to normal again, Zhang Xiaofeng could clearly feel that time was getting longer, and the work of a stick of incense in the Beast Valley might only be a few breaths in the outside world.

After leaving the Beast Valley, the two of them can be regarded as their first journey, and they can start to march towards the Three Spirit Realm, where most of the demon clans live today.

Zhang Xiaofeng actually has some drumming in his heart.

He knew almost nothing about the demon clan, and besides, Xiao Jiu's body was only half of the bloodline of the beast spirit clan, and the other half was the bloodline of the spirit clan that they had destroyed with their own hands, Zhang Xiaofeng could hardly imagine what kind of attitude the other party would use to face himself and Xiao Jiu.

But no matter what, this trip, Zhang Xiaofeng must go.

A few pictures flashed in his mind that Xiao Jiu was blocking in front of him, Zhang Xiaofeng's brows frowned imperceptibly, and his mood instantly became a little depressed.

After so long, Zhang Xiaofeng still can't forget the child who has a poor background and likes to sit on his shoulder.

Sighing, Zhang Xiaofeng calmed down his mood as much as possible, and then took Xiaoliu and walked forward.

According to the speed of the two people, Zhang Xiaofeng estimated that he would be able to completely walk out of the realm of the Lingxiao Beast Valley at noon tomorrow and completely enter the real spirit realm.

The world is divided into three parts.

The Heavenly Court and all the earthly realms it rules are collectively called the Spirit Realm, plus the Mortal and Underworld realms, collectively known as the Three Realms.

But the Three Spirit Realms where the demon clan is located and the demon realm where the demon clan is located are naturally not counted in them, and the Three Realms are just a slightly more general statement, which is not accurate.

The outside world is indeed much more exciting than in the Beast Valley, and many strange flowers and plants make the little girl a little unable to move.

Zhang Xiaofeng only allowed the little girl to look at it, but he didn't let her touch it.

Just like the two fruits in the bag at the moment, looking bright, I am afraid that I will be poisoned on the spot if I touch them.

This world is indeed much more exciting than a small mortal world, but the thrill is naturally proportional to the wonderful, we must pay attention everywhere and be careful, after all, sometimes the most terrifying thing on the rivers and lakes is really not a person, but the flowers and plants on the side of the road are more poisonous.

Xiao Liu is very sensible, if Zhang Xiaofeng says it once with a straight face, Xiao Liu will never let Zhang Xiaofeng say it a second time.

Zhang Xiaofeng walked with Xiaoliu, but he didn't feel too tired, looking at the scenery on the roadside and listening to the birds, beasts and insects chirping, it can be regarded as a kind of practice.

Xiao Liu followed Zhang Xiaofeng's steps closely.

Zhang Xiaofeng still has to run the waterways at all times to cover the fluctuations of Xiaoliu's own waterways.

Although there are many fewer demon beasts in the outside world, people also have to guard against it, Zhang Xiaofeng has indeed heard of some extremely vicious sects or tribes, and will specially select those cultivators with special physiques to go back to alchemy or do some other things that do not enter the stream.

Zhang Xiaofeng's current strength can only be called average, so he must be careful and careful, after all, if something really goes wrong, Zhang Xiaofeng will not be able to explain to Hu Cheng and his family at all.

For a rainy day.

It was getting late, Zhang Xiaofeng glanced at Xiao Liu, and Xiao Liu also looked at Zhang Xiaofeng helplessly.

"Still, do you want to rest?"

Xiao Liu lowered his head and sighed deeply.

Zhang Xiaofeng smiled, picked up Xiao Liu's collar and put it on his back as usual.

"Catch it. ”

Xiao Liu grabbed Zhang Xiaofeng's collar with one hand and protected the back basket behind him with the other.

"Alright. Xiao Liu said nervously in Zhang Xiaofeng's ear, as if he was about to be sent to a wild land to fight.

Zhang Xiaofeng used his mana and used the illusion technique to continue to rush forward.

Xiaoliu fell asleep on Zhang Xiaofeng's back not long after leaving.

Before going to sleep, he didn't forget to stretch out a hand to cover the back basket on his back.

The essence of foodies is exposed.

The sky gradually brightened, but Zhang Xiaofeng still didn't see any traces of people's lives.

Remove the paperweight from the rucksack in front of you.

A golden halo of light shot into the air, forming an extremely simple map.

Zhang Xiaofeng took Lingxiao Beast Valley as a landmark and roughly estimated his location.

According to the distance on the paperweight, it is probably a few more sticks of incense to reach the first place where people live.

From there, if you continue to walk eastward, you can be regarded as truly entering the spiritual realm, and the more you go, the more prosperous you become, and many secret realms are also entered from here, but the premise is that you must have the documents of the heavenly court or enough merits.

Since he didn't go the wrong way, Zhang Xiaofeng also breathed a sigh of relief.

Putting away the paperweight, Zhang Xiaofeng continued to walk forward.

I didn't use the illusion technique anymore, and the work of a few sticks of incense was not very far.

And Zhang Xiaofeng didn't want to reveal his identity in front of outsiders, no matter whether the villages in front of him were ordinary people or cultivators, Zhang Xiaofeng wanted them to treat him as an ordinary person.

The weak are always unnoticed.

Not being noticed is precisely the safest thing.

Carrying Xiaoliu on her back, Zhang Xiaofeng still didn't walk slowly, the little girl seemed to have a nightmare, sat up from Zhang Xiaofeng's back suddenly, and touched the back basket behind her with both hands.

It's still there.

The little girl breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Xiaofeng naturally felt the movements of Xiao Liu behind him, and smiled helplessly.

I'm really to blame myself.

At that time, the craftsmanship was not perfect, so I didn't make a lid for Xiaoliu's back basket, so that the little girl suffered from gains and losses all day long, for fear that she would lose a piece of her spade.

When he got to the realm where there were people living in front of him, Zhang Xiaofeng would better buy one or simply ask someone to help make another one for the little girl.

It's very boring to be in a hurry, so Zhang Xiaofeng often asks Xiaoliu to hum a little tune.

This girl is not very old, and her voice is indeed excellent, but she can only hum a few words, most of them are some popular folk songs of the fox clan or a few sentences of meat in the army that General Hu sang in his spare time.

Zhang Xiaofeng laughed, and the little girl didn't know why, continue to be old, grandpa cut your dog's head with a knife and hummed like this.

It seems that the road is not that long.

On the third pole of the day, Zhang Xiaofeng caught a glimpse of an old man and a small figure plus a big scalper from a distance.

Relieved, he muttered in his heart that it had finally arrived.

The child in front of him looked around, obviously also swept the figures of Zhang Xiaofeng and Xiaoliu, Zhang Xiaofeng was automatically ignored by the boy, and his eyes fell directly on the white-skinned glowing little girl beside Zhang Xiaofeng.

The boy stood in place, staring at Xiao Liu, dragging the ox rope in his hand, and couldn't move for a long time, and finally was dragged out by the ox for a long time.

The old man in front seemed to sense what was happening behind him, and looked back in confusion.

Squinted at Zhang Xiaofeng and the others, and listened to their footsteps.

Xiao Liu pulled Zhang Xiaofeng, cautiously stared at the little boy who was staring at him intently, and reached out to cover his back basket.

Zhang Xiaofeng sighed helplessly.

This temperament is indeed no different from a tendon fox Cheng.

Walking forward, Zhang Xiaofeng greeted the old man.

Generally speaking, in the village, this kind of old man is the treasure of the village, and even its own power can reach the point of being incomprehensible.

Therefore, if you want to walk safely in the village, you can't easily offend the old people in the village.

"You're not a local, are you?" the old man frowned, his face was full of wrinkles, and there was a little less obvious wariness in his eyes.

"You're coming from the direction of the Valley of the Beasts?" the old man asked.

Zhang Xiaofeng smiled and nodded.

"We came from the Hundred Flames Secret Realm, and we came out with our sister to practice. ”

The old man glanced at Xiao Liu beside Zhang Xiaofeng, and his gaze softened a little.

"If you come out to practice at such a young age, the elders in the family can rest assured?" The old man seemed to ask again, but he turned his head directly, without waiting for Zhang Xiaofeng and them to reply.

"Are you going to our village?" the little boy stared at Xiao Liu, and asked with the courage to ask, and when the words landed, his face instantly turned red.

"Yes, we happened to be passing by your village. ”

The little boy nodded, looked back at the old man walking in front of him, and pointed ahead.

"Let's go, I'll take you there. The boy's voice was very loud, as if he had deliberately spoken it to the old man.

The old man did not look back, but walked ahead with the ox rope on his own.

Zhang Xiaofeng smiled at him, while Xiao Liu covered his back basket, gritted his teeth and smiled at the boy, and then took the smile back.

The boy turned his head sharply and quickened his steps forward, his tense legs straight.

With a smile in his eyes, Zhang Xiaofeng walked forward with Xiaoliu.

A few people walked for a while, and on the way they passed a stream, and they waited for the old man to drink the ox, and then continued to walk forward.

"The master of the Hundred Flames Secret Realm, is he okay now?" the old man suddenly asked.

When Zhang Xiaofeng heard this, his expression was slightly regretful.

"Now the secret realm has changed the master of the secret realm, a long time ago. Zhang Xiaofeng said.

"Well, that boy once came to our village, and I said that he was too temperamental, and he really couldn't keep his place. ”

Zhang Xiaofeng smiled and didn't talk again, the old man led the cow and stopped talking.

Not long after walking, Zhang Xiaofeng saw the village in front of him, and the scale seemed to be really not small.

Compared to the village they encountered after coming out of the Valley of the Ten Thousand Universes, it was indeed not of the same level.

In addition, the houses and buildings here are more dense, and the houses are not very far away, and the dirt road in front of the door is piled with bricks and stones to prevent the road from being muddy on rainy days, which looks quite modern.

"Go to my house for a bite to eat and then hurry, the little girl is so young, she will follow you out to suffer. The old man muttered in front of him.

"Okay, then I'll bother you. Zhang Xiaofeng also wanted to take this opportunity to inquire about the situation ahead, but there was no way, the paperweight map was too general, and Zhang Xiaofeng could only find someone to inquire and make some preparations in advance.

"The little chess piece will go back with the guests first, and I'll go to your grandfather Ma's house. ”

The little boy nodded, took the cow rope, looked back at Zhang Xiaofeng and the others, didn't say a word, walked directly towards the front, and the old man walked in the other direction.

Zhang Xiaofeng took Xiaoliu to follow.

When he arrived at the door of a house, the little boy walked straight in, skillfully led the cow into the cowshed, and brought some hay from the haystack on the side and threw it around the old cow.

Only then did he come out, and when he saw Xiao Liu looking at him, the boy blushed and shook the grass roots on his clothes.

"Where's your grandfather?" A woman came out of the house, looked at the little boy, her eyes swept to Zhang Xiaofeng and Xiao Liu, and frowned slightly.

The people in this village seem to be extremely wary of outsiders, Zhang Xiaofeng thought to himself.

"Grandpa went to Grandpa Ma's house, this is a guest brought back by grandpa, eating at home. When the little boy had finished speaking, he ran to the door, picked up a scoop and filled the jar with some water, and drank it with a bang.

Hearing that it was brought back by her grandfather, the woman immediately had a smile on her face.

"Please come in, the food will be ready immediately, and we will start the meal when his grandfather comes back." ”

Zhang Xiaofeng thanked him, and Xiaoliu also arched his hand towards the woman.

The two followed into the house.

It's not too big in the room, but it's quite warmly furnished.

There was a sword hanging on the cabinet next to it, but it could be seen that it was only made of mortal iron, and it was not even the lowest-level magic weapon.

It seemed that there was only one woman in the house, and Zhang Xiaofeng was brought into the house, and immediately went to the kitchen to get busy.

The little boy sat opposite Zhang Xiaofeng and Xiaoliu, a little cramped, and he didn't speak sullenly.

After sitting for a while, the boy jumped up and ran out of the house.

After a while, the boy walked in again, with a few more fruits in his hand, carrying them in his clothes, and putting them on the wooden bed where Zhang Xiaofeng and Xiaoliu were sitting.

Zhang Xiaofeng smiled at him.

Xiao Liu looked at the fruit, and the defense in his eyes disappeared a little......
