Qi Song, who woke up, felt refreshed, but the rumbling of his stomach at this time made Qi Song have to face reality. When I came to the stove, I saw nothing but pots and pans. So Qi Song decided to go to the back mountain to find something to eat, and then fill his stomach first.

Coming to the back mountain, Qi Song breathed pure air and a trace of aura. At this time, birds and cicadas chirp, and the big trees took advantage of the fact that the sun had not yet risen in the east to occupy the few lights. Let the earth be clouded. The weeds droop down the tips of the grass and suck up the earth's nutrients with open arms. The vitality of the weeds, washed away by the rainstorm and frost, reaches its highest point here.

Flakes of mist obscured the outlines of the trees, swimming in the wind. Each tree is marked like a scarf.

After walking halfway up the mountain and picking a few wild fruits to eat, Qi Song instantly felt full of strength. I also realized that it was time to say goodbye.

Looking at the stream flowing down from the top of the mountain, the bitter smell of the grass mixed with the fishy smell of running water makes the air seem to be full of life.

Coming to a dense layer of bushes, Qi Song pushed aside the bushes and stepped into a small cave. Tapping with his hand on the side of the tree hole, knock, knock. After a while, a fiery red fruit spirit suddenly emerged from the soil.

"Xiao Yan, how are you doing?"

"It's good, it's just that the wild grape essence next door has always coveted my spiritual power in this cave, and always wants to sneak in," Chi Yan complained.

"Hahaha, is that little grape, you just let the family in, and it won't have any effect on you" Qi Song said angrily when he saw Chi Yan.

"By the way, are you here for something?"

"Actually, I came today to say goodbye to you, I know you won't agree to let me take you away, so I still have to come and talk to you, I will always remember you"

"Don't be so sensitive, by the way, how do you know I won't go with you"

"Because you've been here for more than ten years and have never walked there, and besides, you and your friends who are reluctant to be here" Qi Song looked at Chi Yan and said.

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you this time, I decided to go with you" Chi Yan looked at Qi Song and smiled.

"Really," Qi Song said with a look of surprise.

"Where's the necklace your grandfather gave you?"

"Here" Qi Song took out a black necklace from his clothes.

"In the days to come, I will stay in this necklace, if you have anything to call me" After Chi Yan finished speaking, he turned into a trace of red light and got into Qi Song's necklace.

Qi Song looked at the necklace on his chest, and a faint red appeared in the pure black pendant, like a trace of molten lava in the extinguished volcanic rock.

Suddenly thought that a month before the competition, grandpa disappeared after saying goodbye to Qi Song. He said to Qingsong, I have more important things to do, and I believe that you will definitely get the opportunity to go out and practice. After that, I will wait for you in the Imperial City.

Although Qi Song didn't understand what made his grandfather pay so much attention, he would definitely go to the imperial city. Whether it is looking for his biological parents, it is also to fulfill his grandfather's expectations.

Thinking that in the past ten years, my grandfather has been teaching Qi Song martial arts for decades, teaching Qi Song how to cultivate spiritual power, and planting herbs to let Qi Song soak in medicinal baths. Qi Song's heart is full of expectations for the future, no matter what, he must have absolute strength to go to the imperial city.

The sun in the sky set in the west, looking at the growth of everything in this world, it seemed to feel relieved, and smiled red clouds. Qi Song wandered in the forest, feeling the familiar air from childhood to adulthood. said goodbye to the flowers and insects that accompanied him, and I don't know how long it will be.

Qi Song slowly walked to the cabin built by his grandfather, trying to remember everything that was familiar and about to be far away, and his heart was full of reluctance.

It's like lying on the roof after practicing every night, enjoying the relaxation of body and mind. Under the reflection of the deep blue sky, the crescent moon appears white and thin. When everything is silent, the sound of cicadas and insects climbing is particularly eye-catching. The ant passed by Qi Song's body and crawled to the other end. Qi Song's eyelids slowly closed.

Qi Song, who woke up early, cleaned up the house, took a few luggage and left the home where he had survived for more than ten years.

......

It was five of the town's seven elders who led the teenagers to the Forest of Death this time. They will get everyone to their destination safely while maintaining order. Of course, once you enter the Forest of Death, life and death are up to you.

After the assembly was completed, the elders divided the only thirty or so people into three pairs. In order to reduce the goal, in ensuring that neither lag behind, nor ahead. Then, the three people walked out of the city gate one after another.

This time, Qi Song suddenly found a familiar face in the team he was in, wasn't that the first time he met Xiao Bu when he was queuing. Because there was a rule in the team that you couldn't talk loudly, Qi Song smiled kindly as he looked back. When he saw Qi Song, his eyes suddenly flashed, and he was very surprised.

Due to the coexistence of fog and obstacles in the forest around this town, there is no shortage of poisonous insects and beasts in this forest, so you have to be very careful, if you inhale it, you may temporarily lose the ability to move. Therefore, all the teenagers were very cautious as they walked through this forest. Of course, this is also a test of the way these teenagers leave their familiar environment and cope with setbacks and difficulties.

......

Three days later, everyone arrived at the city on the other side, which was only a day's walk from the Forest of Death.

The entourage saw that the teenagers were all tortured by the three-day journey at this moment, and decided to repair here for half a day. The exhausted teenagers immediately collapsed in their seats when they heard the news.

The city on the other side is as its name suggests. Most of the people here are fugitives from other continents or cities, or people who are praying for a new life. Unlike the small towns under the management of the Imperial City, there are no royal restrictions here, and there are no absolute rules and regulations.

In the orderly city, there is actually an undercurrent. Along the way, people dressed in different costumes, and stalls selling all kinds of strange items, seem incredible but reasonable.

In order to ensure the safety of each individual, the elders decided after deliberation that all personnel must meet at the inn within three hours, and that nothing was allowed to be bought or sold without permission.

One by one, they cleaned their backs in their rooms and waited for their long-lost lunch in the lobby. After filling their stomachs one by one, they didn't even take a break, and they were invited to this magical city to experience different customs and customs. Come and see the magical existence of this city that is different from what you have seen before.
