Chapter 2: The Shadow of the Old Dragon Ridge
Halfway through the unitary hour, the last trace of the slanting sun gradually disappeared into the mountains, and the entire old dragon mountain was hidden in darkness.
"Senior Brother Liu, this way", Luo Jian shouted loudly with his long sword, not caring if he would be heard by the monsters around him.
"Ho," a short cry sounded in the dark mountain forest, and Luo Jian couldn't remember that this was the first time that his fellow disciples had suffered misfortune.
"Roar", the low roar made people's hearts tense when heard in the mountains and forests at night.
Looking at the pair of eyes full of fear and anxiety beside him, Luo Jian's heart was also up and down. He didn't expect that there were still more than ten miles away from asking Liushanzhuang, and he and Senior Brother Liu had already lost their news. Senior Brother Wen and Senior Sister Qu brought the senior brothers from the inner gate to open the way ahead, and now that they have found traces of the enemy here, I don't know what happened to these senior brothers and sisters?
Now there are only seven or eight people beside him, all of whom only entered the sect last year, Luo Jian originally wanted to come out with Senior Brother Wen and Senior Sister Qu to experience and experience, but now it's good, Senior Brother Wen and Senior Sister Qu have disappeared, and his little follower has become the boss, the only orchid butterfly on his body, until he has to do it, Luo Jian didn't dare to use it, gritted his teeth and straightened his chest, thinking that Shui Yue was still in this forest, Luo Jian had the courage to rise up in his heart.
Shui Yue looked at the figure blocking in front of her, and clenched the long sword in her hand, although she didn't know what kind of monsters were in this forest, but with Senior Brother Sun there, Shui Yue felt inexplicably at ease, and she didn't know what happened to Brother Luo Jian?
"Little Seven" Luo Jian waved his hand and signaled everyone behind him to bow down, and a call came from the forest, the voice was fluttering, it sounded like a mother was calling the child home for dinner, but who would come to this barren mountain in the dark night to find a child? This earnest call sounded weird in this barren mountain.
"What should I do?" Luo Jian was anxious in his heart, before coming out this time, Luo Jian deliberately looked at the map in detail, and asked Liushanzhuang is an important place for the sect to cultivate herbs, there are no people around, and the nearest village to the mountain villa also has a mountain road of more than 20 miles, how can there be villagers here?
After calming down and listening, the shouts in the mountains and forests seemed to be closer, and the voices seemed more anxious. The sound of falling leaves rubbing against each other sounded from time to time in the surrounding darkness, as if the mother who was looking for her child was anxiously wandering in the dark, looking hesitant and helpless.
"Senior Brother Luo, what should I do?" a young man approached Luo Jian and asked in a low voice, the long sword in his hand trembling slightly in the dark.
Luo Jian didn't answer, he was also a little hesitant in his heart, although it has been two years since he entered the sect, most of them were in Mingyue Mountain to do some chores with a group of new disciples, and it was only two or three months after entering the Blood Sword Hall, and the only time he went out to practice was when he went to Wild Wolf Valley to perform a mission a few days ago.
After experiencing the vicious battle of the Wild Wolf Valley, he has seen his fellow door being torn to pieces by monsters in front of him, Luo Jian has hated those monsters in his heart but is also a little afraid, these days Luo Jian has been practicing hard, and he is bent on avenging the long sword in his hand for those dead fellow disciples when he sees the monster again, only by cutting the monster with his own hands, Luo Jian can cross the hurdle in his heart.
Along the way, he followed Senior Brother Wen and Senior Sister Qu to fight monsters several times, and a few died under Luo Jianjian's sword, and Luo Jian felt that those monsters didn't seem to be so terrifying. But at this moment, there were no senior brothers and sisters beside him, Luo Jian listened to the faint wheezing and roaring sounds in the darkness, but his palms were oozing sweat.
The young man looked at Luo Jian and waited for a while but did not move, in the forest
The call became more and more urgent, and the boy became a little impatient.
A cry pierced the silence in the mountains and forests, like a child who has lost his path when he is panicked and helpless, and he can't help but want to return to his mother's arms.
"Roar", the roar sounded in the depths of the dense forest, and it didn't sound far from the cry, and several teenagers couldn't help but wonder if the monster had already found the child.
This roar hit Luo Jian's heart hard, and the hand holding the long sword finally stabilized, and he was about to get up, but the young man next to him had already rushed out.
Whoosh, swish, one figure after another, Luo Jian's eyes were meeting a young man, and vaguely, Luo Jian saw a trace of disdain flashing in the young man's eyes.
Shui Yue followed behind Sun Yuchen, walking one foot deep and one foot shallow in the dense forest, listening to Sun Yuchen say that this place is only seven or eight miles away from the villa, although it is night, but with the strength of the young people's feet, it will not take two quarters of an hour to arrive.
Along the way, he clashed with monsters several times, without exception, the monsters all fell under Senior Brother Sun's sword, looking at the eyes of several other girls looking at Sun Yuchen, Shui Yue's heart was a little uncomfortable.
"Xiao Qi", there was a faint shout in the night wind, Shui Yue's heart tightened, there was no one near here, how could anyone stay in the mountains and forests so late? I had the heart to remind the senior brother, but I didn't expect that Sun Yuchen had already run in the direction where the shouts came, and the other girls crossed the water moon one by one, holding their heads high, it seemed that as long as Senior Brother Sun was there, nothing in this mountain forest could hurt them.
Shui Yue followed behind the group of girls, she was not as optimistic as the other girls, this time dozens of disciples of the Blood Sword Hall and Yunshuijian came to the aid of the sect to ask Liu Villa, and only after entering this forest did they find traces of monsters. With the experience of the Wild Wolf Valley, Senior Brother Wen and Senior Sister Qu no longer dared to gather everyone together, and the two senior brothers and sisters took those inner disciples who could be called elites first, leaving Sun Yuchen and Liu Jin with Luo Jian and Shui Yue to take the newly entered outer disciples to break the queen. First, it is to clear the obstacles for everyone, and secondly, if there is something unexpected happening to you, there are people behind you who answer and summon the message, so that it will not be like Wild Wolf Valley, and the sect will not know anything about it.
It stands to reason that with all the senior brothers and sisters rushing forward, even if there are a few monsters that have slipped through the net, they will not be the opponents of the big guys, not to mention a master like Senior Brother Sun, but for some reason, Shui Yue's heart is always a little unsteady.
"Ho", I heard a sound in my ears, like someone's throat was choked by life, and I was desperate to call for help, and the rapid air flow rushed to the narrow gap together, and the voice was sharp and short.
The voice was very soft, and the girls in front didn't pay attention to it, but Shui Yue heard it clearly, and there was a whistle in her mouth, and the whole person had already swept out of the stab.
Sun Yuchen and Shui Yue looked at the young man on the ground, their eyes were angry, sad, and a little puzzled. There are no scars on the young man's body, the only thing that is a scar is the bruise on his neck, but it is not left by the enemy, Sun Yuchen just broke the hands of the young man on his neck, neither he nor Shui Yue understood what the young man had encountered, and his eyes were so frightened and desperate.
The young man on the ground, Shui Yue, knew that he had not been a newcomer for a few months, and this time he followed Liu Jin and Luo Jiange in the same group. Now that the boy has been found here, Shui Yue is even more worried about Luo Jian.
Hearing that Shui Yue was going to look for Luo Jian and his party, Sun Yuchen's face was a little gloomy, this place was not far from asking Liu Villa, maybe the young man in front of him was just lost in the mountains,
I accidentally ate some poisonous plants and trees, and then I lost my life. What's more, in this barren mountains and mountains, to find a few people is like looking for a needle in a haystack, although they have an orchid butterfly on their bodies, but this butterfly is extremely difficult to cultivate, every time one is lost, everyone will have less vitality in this mountain forest, if you wait until you get to the villa, everyone gets together and then makes plans. In case Luo Jian and the others also rushed to the villa, wouldn't it be a false alarm?
Shui Yue looked at the heroic young man in front of her, and was slightly disappointed in her heart, what Senior Brother Sun said in front of her sounded very reasonable at first glance, but Shui Yue knew that with Brother Luo Jian's character, she would never let her classmates lie in this mountain and forest and let it go, or Luo Jian also had an accident? Or was she anxiously looking for a young man somewhere in this forest? Shui Yue made up her mind that she would find Brother Luo Jian today no matter what.
By the moonlight, Shui Yue followed the orchid butterfly in the forest, one foot deep and one foot shallow. Thinking that Senior Brother Sun, who took good care of him on weekdays, really left himself alone at this time, Shui Yue's heart was a little sour.
Whew, Shui Yue heard the sound of the wind, and subconsciously stabbed out with a sword, but it was just a snake corpse. Shui Yue secretly blamed herself in her heart, what's wrong? She was not originally a young lady from a wealthy family, but she and Luo Jiange have supported each other and stumbled over for many years, why have you suddenly become a lot weaker now? Could it be that you are used to living a comfortable life in the sect, so that you have lost your sharpness? Besides, Senior Brother Sun is not his own senior brother, and there are several junior sisters beside him, why do you have to protect him? Shui Yue, Shui Yue, could it be that you have forgotten what Brother Luo Jian did to you? When he drove more than a thousand miles of mountain roads to the sect, if there was no Luo Jiange, he would have already become the food in the tiger's mouth. Thinking of this, Shui Yue tightened the clothes on her body and continued to move forward.
If it weren't for his quick reaction, this orchid butterfly would have fed the poisonous snake, and at this moment, Shui Yue clenched the long sword tightly, and no longer dared to think nonsense.
Suddenly, her feet softened, Shui Yue subconsciously looked down, and hurriedly covered her lips with her hands, and then pressed the exclamation back into her abdomen.
A young man lay on the ground, his eyes glaring, full of horror and despair, his hands clutching his neck, his nails sinking deep into the flesh.
If it is said that the young man I saw earlier was accidentally lost, then what about the young man in front of him? These young men are not ordinary children in the mountains and wilderness, how can they say that they have also practiced in the sect for some time, where is it so easy to get lost? Shui Yue knew that something must have happened, and her heart was pounding.
This time, the sect was worried about the safety of the disciples, and deliberately dialed the orchid butterfly from Yunlu, with the orchid butterfly, the teams would not lose contact, Shui Yue knew that Liu Jin and Luo Jian both had gossamer incense on their bodies, as long as they protected this orchid butterfly, they would definitely be able to find the two.
Staring closely at the small figure dancing in the wind in front of him, Shui Yue's figure wandered in the forest, like a spirit in the dark night.
"Ho", he heard a familiar sound again, Shui Yue didn't think about it, and even shot out with a sword.
A stream of water swept through the forest, turning into a graceful woman standing in front of the young man. The black mist just now dissipated without a trace after receiving his sword, and even the young man in front of him had no time to take care of it, and he was not a great character.
Feeding the boy a pill, Shui Yue was not sure whether the boy would wake up, but he didn't know if it was luck or God's favor, the boy really woke up, and said two words, then he looked at the dark night sky, and there was no more sound.
