After school the next day, according to the previous agreement, Beiyue took Pan Xiaole and Shen Youqing out of the city.

"We need to hurry, if we close the gates too late, we won't be able to go back. "Beiyue took the lead and ran fast.

Pan Xiaole rode a horse with two knives, and after learning it, he rarely had the opportunity to ride out on horseback, so he rode slower.

As a knight, Shen Youqing had a basic lesson in riding a horse, but he was afraid that Pan Xiaole would fall off the horse, so he had to follow her.

The journey that was originally planned for a quarter of an hour was dragged by Pan Xiaole for two quarters of an hour.

When she arrived at the planned location, Qi Beiyue turned over and dismounted, and glanced coldly at Pan Xiaole, who was following behind, "From tomorrow onwards, you will run for two quarters of an hour after school every day, and I will supervise you." ”

Pan Xiaole got off the horse tremblingly, and when he heard Beiyue say this, he glanced at Shen Youqing bitterly, but he didn't dare to refuse.

She didn't know why, Beiyue was just a fluttering word, but she had a majesty that she had to obey.

"Oh. Pan Xiaole had no choice but to agree.

The three men tied their horses to the woods and went out into the woods.

This is the nearest forest on the outskirts of Beijing, which is quite vast, and usually the nobles in the capital will come here occasionally for hunting.

Beiyue has been here many times before, and is quite familiar with the paths inside, and knows where the herbs grow best.

"Keep up, there are strange beasts here, but they are quite gentle, and as long as you don't actively hurt them, they will rarely attack people. ”

Beiyue opened the road in front, the path was deep, and many places were covered by half-human-high shrubs, and if you were not familiar with it, you would not be able to find the road at all.

Shen Youqing said: "Xiaoyi, you are so familiar with this place, but you often come here?"

Before he got out of school, he had seen the "Qi Family's Map" drawn by Beiyue, and the roads were clearly identifiable, many of which were hidden roads, and he felt strange at the time. Zhang Xiaoling, a timid and cowardly girl, how could she know so clearly.

Beiyue had already made up the answer to this question, "I have seen all the road maps in the suburbs of Beijing in my father's study. ”

If it is Master Taifu's private collection, then it is not surprising.

Shen Youqing nodded, "I see." It's a big sin to just peek at the map, just tell me about it later, and don't draw it again. ”

"Got it. Beiyue nodded, still a good young man with a careful mind.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Beiyue pointed to a thin stream not far away and said to Pan Xiaole, "That's it." This stream comes and goes, but it comes out in the rainy season, and it dries up after ten days and half a month without rain. It is surrounded by all kinds of herbs that love yin, and you go to find what you need. ”

Pan Xiaole immediately took out a herbal medicine bag from his backpack, this kind of bag is different from ordinary bags, it is divided into many small compartments, and various herbs can be stored in different categories.

Carrying the herbal medicine bag on his back, Pan Xiaole ran to the stream to carefully look for and identify it.

It was not early, Beiyue looked up at the sunset in the west, and said, "Hurry up, you have to rush back when it's dark, you have half an hour at most." ”

"Enough is enough, half an hour is enough for me to fill this bag. Pan Xiaole had already found several primary herbs, pinched them in his hand, and said excitedly.

"Izumi, your bag just has a little more stuff, and it won't be full in a while. ”

Beiyue has to find a way to get a few space rings to increase their storage capacity and prepare for the future.

Shen Youqing also recognized several herbs to some extent, and when he saw that time was tight, he followed Pan Xiaole to look for them.

In the evening of midsummer, accompanied by the sound of insects and water, a few friends met to pick herbs in the suburbs, which was quite ...... Dangerous.

Beiyue stood by the stream with his hands in his hands, looked up and looked around, and suddenly heard the sound of sharp arrows cutting through the air.

Just in an instant, there was a messy running sound from the bushes behind him, and there was a "bang" sound.

Beiyue turned around, subconsciously opened her arms, and protected Pan Xiaole and Shen Youqing by the stream behind her.

Shen Youqing reacted extremely quickly, and he had already thrown out the holy light in his hand, and the golden light covered the space of the three of them.

Beiyue turned her head, "Don't come out inside, I'll take a look." ”

Shen Youqing patted Pan Xiaole's shoulder, "Don't come out, I'll take a look." ”

left Pan Xiaole with a stunned face.

Beiyue found that Shen Youqing was following her, raised her eyes and looked at Pan Xiaole, who was obediently in the holy light, didn't say anything, and bowed down and quietly brushed aside the bushes in front of her.

Not far away, an injured spirit deer was struggling to crawl forward.

This kind of spirit deer is not much different from ordinary deer, but the horns on the head will shine at night, which is not very precious, and there are many of them on the Falling Dust Continent.

But many years ago, this spirit deer was hunted and slaughtered on a large scale, just because its blood was an excellent blood tonic for warlocks who increased their mana.

Now, the warlocks in the Falling Dust Continent are all extinct, and others will no longer hunt and bleed them, so the number has begun to flourish again.

Kitatsuki saw that the deer's wound was on the side of the neck, and an arrow was stuck there, but the arrow did not enter.

It was already a little tired, and must have bled a lot during the escape.

It is surrounded by towering trees, which shade the sky and the sun, and the light is not very bright at dusk. The light of the antlers of the spirit deer was faint, and it was still struggling.

Beiyue and Shen Youqing glanced at each other.

"What should I do?"

Beiyue looked into the distance, presumably the person who shot it had not yet arrived.

"Save its life. Beiyue brushed aside the bushes and walked over to the spirit deer.

This deer is not an adult deer, it is only the length of a human being. Seeing Beiyue approaching, he climbed faster, but soon became exhausted, and looked at Beiyue with mournful eyes.

"I won't hurt you, don't worry. Beiyue spread out his hands to show that he had no weapons.

Shen Youqing didn't move forward, and quietly took out his sword five steps away from them.

Linglu seemed to feel Beiyue's kindness and blinked.

"Bang"!

With a loud bang, a smoking green flame hit the trunk of a tree beside Beiyue. The trees "rustle", and the branches and leaves tremble violently.

Linglu's eyes showed horror, and he immediately struggled.

Beiyue put his hands together, and a small ice barrier was protected in front of him. Shen Youqing drew his sword and came out to protect the front.

"Bang" "Bang", one after another, green fireballs hit one after another, two of them hit the barrier, and the barrier punched a crack, and then the barrier shattered.

Beiyue's heart jumped, the green fire was the warlock's hellfire.

In the woods on the outskirts of Beijing, how can there be hellfires, how can there be warlocks.

The ice slag in his hand had condensed, and Beiyue stared into the distance when he saw a figure flashing.

Beiyue grabbed it with both hands with lightning speed, and the ice hockey balls flew into the distance instantly.

"Pap" "Pap", dense ice hockey balls smashed on the trunks of trees, in the bushes, making a crisp sound.

This kind of long-range attack couldn't help Shen Youqing, he had to get close to Beiyue to prevent someone from rushing out suddenly.

After a wave of attacks, the other party stopped for a moment, and then, several smoking red talismans flew out.

Sure enough, it's a warlock's curse!

"Beware of these red talismans, it's a curse!" Beiyue turned around and dodged, reminding Shen Youqing, "Don't let them touch!"
