The Demon Mist Mountain Range is located seventy miles away from Luoyang City. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This is the paradise of demon beasts, and in the entire Demon Mist Mountain Range, there are hundreds of demon beasts large and small.

But at the same time, it is also an adventure playground for warriors.

In the Demon Mist Mountain Range, there are many natural and earthly treasures, such as some precious medicinal materials, such as the Golden Dome Silver Snake Grass, which is unique to the Demon Mist Mountain Range, and one plant costs tens of thousands of stones.

Or a weapon, this kind of thing, often after someone enters the Demon Mist Mountain Range, accidentally falls, and loses both people and money.

Therefore, there are often warriors who go on expeditions, and if they are lucky, they will get the full net worth of a certain warrior, and they will get rich overnight.

In addition, the most precious ones are actually all kinds of demon beasts.

In the body of the demon beast, there is a thing called the demon core.

The demon core is the life crystallization of the demon beast, which contains energy, although it cannot be absorbed by the martial artist, but it is a good thing to use for alchemy.

In addition to the most valuable demon core, many materials on the demon beast also have value.

The minions of some demon beasts can be made into weapons, and the outer skin can be made into treasure armor, and even some blood can also be used as something to refine medicine.

Beyond the Demon Mist Mountains.

Ning Jiang looked at it.

In front of you, the mountains and forests are undulating and endless, and there are towering trees everywhere.

A random tree is more than ten feet, and two or three people hug it so thick, and the whole place is filled with a primitive and dangerous atmosphere.

"Roar!"

"Cry!"

In the mountain range, the roar of the demon beast sounded from time to time, shaking the four directions, adding a bit of terror to this demon fog mountain range.

Above the sky, there are even huge flying monsters soaring, their house-sized bodies and sharp claws that can grab elephants from the ground and tear them to pieces.

Looking into the depths, the place was shrouded in mist.

The depths are the demon mist zone, even the strong people of the innate realm do not dare to step into it easily, it is said that there were once strong people with innate limits who relied on their cultivation to be strong, forced into the depths, and never returned.

Ninety out of ten cultivators only dare to operate in areas outside the demon mist, or slightly step into some demon fog realms, but they definitely don't dare to go too deep.

Those bloody examples of the past warn everyone all the time.

"Everyone, you're about to enter the Demon Mist Mountains, remember to be careful. ”

This is a team of more than 30 people, belonging to the Zhou family, a third-rate family in Luoyang City.

Ningjiang is also among them.

When he entered the Demon Mist Mountain Range this time, he originally wanted to go alone and be at ease.

But Ning Yu'an couldn't worry about him, so Zheng Zhiyuan took the initiative to propose that Ning Jiang enter the Zhou family's medicine collection team.

Zheng Zhiyuan himself has no background forces, he is a lone casual cultivator, but his cultivation at the peak of the day after tomorrow also has some connections, he has done things for the Zhou family at the beginning, so he has some friendship with the Zhou family.

The Zhou family is a family of medicinal materials, and every month they will send a medicine collection team into the Demon Mist Mountain Range to collect medicine, and this time Zheng Zhiyuan used his friendship to stuff Ning Jiang into the Zhou family's medicine collection team.

In order to reassure Ning Yu'an, Ning Jiang could only agree.

Among the more than 30 people in the medicine collection team, half of them are medicine collectors, and half of them are martial artists above the acquired realm, and these people are all Zhou family guards to protect the safety of the medicine collection team.

Ningjiang practiced qi ninefold, but it was the lowest one.

"Brother Ning, you have a sword on you, you should also be a sword cultivator, right?"

By Ning Jiang's side, there was a little girl who was jumping around, twelve or thirteen years old, with a slightly immature appearance, but with good facial features, delicate and small, and a beauty.

In a few years, most of them will be a beauty.

This girl's name is Zhou Chuchu, she has a cheerful and lively personality, she is the most noisy in the team, and she can't be quiet all the way.

Next to Zhou Chuchu, there is also a woman, about twenty years old, her appearance is somewhat similar to Zhou Chuchu, this is Zhou Chuchu's sister, Zhou Lingwei.

"Yes. "Ning Jiang behaved very casually.

"Sword cultivation, happy enmity, rampant thousands of miles, sword in the world, in the future, I will also become the kind of sword cultivation who is famous and righteous. ”

Zhou Chuchu's face flushed, and his eyebrows fluttered when he talked about sword cultivation: "By the way, Brother Ning, do you know Liu Xianyu of our Ten Masters of the Falling Sun? Everyone says that she is a genius in swordsmanship, and she is talented in sword control, I wonder if I can have her achievements when I reach her age?"

"Liu Xianyu is not bad, but her swordsmanship is less murderous, she lacks actual combat experience, and she has no experience in fighting people to the death. ”

Ning Jiang's understanding of Liu Xianyu is clearer than Liu Xianyu herself: "Don't look at her controlling the sword with her body, she is called a genius, but if she encounters the kind of outlaw who often fights with people, under the same realm, even if Liu Xianyu has the realm of controlling the sword with her body, she is not necessarily the opponent of the other party." ”

"After all, sword training is just a style, no matter how beautiful the practice is, if there is a lack of actual combat, it is just a fist embroidered legs. ”

Ning Jiang's speech was full of words.

People who don't have actual combat are highly talented, and they are also blunt knives that lack polishing, but people who are rich in actual combat are fast knives and have a sharp edge.

In fact, he asked Liu Xianyu to practice swords on the edge of the cliff, although it was not as good as the real life and death fight, but the kind of life and death excitement was almost close.

After Liu Xianyu gets used to it on the cliff, she will be asked to fight with people and enhance her actual combat.

"Hahaha, it's ridiculous, you are a person who has cultivated only nine levels of qi, and you are the weakest one among us, but you have a big breath and no bounds, as if you have seen Liu Xianyu. ”

At this time, a ridicule came.

This person is about twenty-five years old, with thick arms, bronzed skin, and a tall figure, and his cultivation has reached the late stage of the day after tomorrow, and he serves as the captain of this escort team, called Li Jie.

In Sunset City, the first grade of the younger generation is naturally the top ten masters.

The second grade is the peak of the day after tomorrow, and some of the ten outstanding candidates.

Like Li Jie, he can be ranked in the third grade, and he can also be called a young talent, if he goes further, maybe he can show his style and make some names at the annual party.

"Li Jie, I'm talking to Brother Ning, and I want you to talk more. Zhou Chuchu was dissatisfied.

"Chu Chu, although Li Jie's words are a little ugly, but what he said is reasonable, he is only a cultivator of the Nine Levels of Qi, but he dares to comment on one of the ten most outstanding people in Luoyang City behind his back, I don't know what humility is, don't listen to his nonsense. ”

Zhou Lingwei also spoke at this time, dissatisfied with what Ning Jiang said just now.

Who is Liu Xianyu? One of the ten most outstanding people in Luoyang City, even she is far inferior, but in the mouth of the Ningjiang River, she seems to be just an ordinary person.

What qualifications does Ning Jiang have to say such things?

"Sister, I know that the family wants you to marry Zhao Feng, you are in a bad mood, but you don't have to say that, right? Brother Ning may have bragged a little, but he has no malicious intent. Zhou Chuchu muttered.

"Zhao Feng?" Ning Jiang was stunned.

"What's the matter, don't you know each other?" Zhou Lingwei glanced at Ning Jiang.

"On the fifteenth day of January, I will sacrifice my sword with the head of others. Ning Jiang's eyes drooped.

Hearing this, Zhou Lingwei became more and more disappointed in Ning Jiang, only feeling that Ning Jiang was full of nonsense and arrogant.

In comparison, even Zhao Feng is much stronger than Ning Jiang, how can Zhao Feng also be a descendant of the second-rate family Zhao family, maybe a little windy, but after all, there is a mid-acquired cultivation.

Thinking of this, Zhou Lingwei's beautiful eyes darkened again.

The Zhou family is now gradually declining, and there are only two congenital realm powerhouses left in the family, so she needs to marry the Zhao family, and she has become a victim of the family marriage.

But for Zhao Feng, she really doesn't have a good impression of her.

She is also a high-minded and arrogant person, and her cultivation has reached the middle of the day after tomorrow, and she is the ideal person, even if she is not a genius like the Ten Masters, but at least she needs to be a candidate for the Ten Masters.

It was precisely because of Zhao Feng's incident that she was in a bad mood, so she joined the medicine collection team and came here to relax.

But I didn't expect that when I met such an arrogant Ning Jiang, he dared to despise Liu Xianyu, a genius noblewoman.

Comparing Ning Jiang and Shijie in her heart, Zhou Lingwei shook her head again and again, thinking that the gap between the two sides was so big that it was the difference between heaven and earth.

"Chu Chu, if he has the cultivation of Shijie, I will immediately apologize to him for what I just said, and even make him a concubine, it is better than marrying Zhao Feng. It's a pity that he is just a fanatic who loves to talk big, and I will not allow you to contact him, so as not to be taught badly by him. ”

Zhou Lingwei couldn't help but say, took Zhou Chuchu's hand and walked to the front of the team.

Zhou Chuchu was young after all, and he didn't dare to disobey his sister, so Chong Ningjiang helplessly stuck out his tongue and was pulled over.

"For Zheng Zhiyuan's sake, I let you enter the medicine collection team, but this doesn't mean that you can talk nonsense, remember your cultivation identity, and dare to despise Liu Xianyu again, I don't mind teaching you a lesson, let you know that the sky is high and the earth is thick. ”

After the two girls walked away, Li Jie's face turned cold.

"I see, you have a crush on Liu Xianyu, so you can't tolerate other people's evaluation. Ning Jiang saw through Li Jie's mind at a glance.

He was not surprised, Liu Xianyu was one of the four beauties of Luoyang, and she was a kendo genius, and she didn't know how many people liked her.

Seeing through his thoughts, Li Jie snorted coldly, didn't say much to Ning Jiang, and walked to the front.

Some of the guards around unconsciously kept some distance from Ningjiang.

"Summer insects can't speak ice, how do you know my ability?"

Ning Jiang is still as calm as water, with his strength, how can he be angry because of a few words?

If Zhou Lingwei and Li Jie knew that Liu Xianyu learned swordsmanship from him and was respectful to him, Liu Yuanlong even wanted to match him and the two pearls of the Liu family, I am afraid that everyone would be shocked.

Of course, Ning Jiang knew that no one would believe him if he said it, but would treat him as crazy.

The terrain of the Demon Mist Mountain Range is complex, and the speed of the team is not very fast, mainly to guard against demon beasts, and many times they have to walk around the road.

Slowly, it was night.

The team found a quieter valley and camped here.

"Rest well, everyone, we have to hurry tomorrow, and the patrol is careful around. Zhou Lingwei gave orders, showing the majesty of some of the eldest ladies of the family.

In the Demon Mist Mountains, no one dared to burn firewood and make a fire, and all they ate was dry food.

Zhou Chuchu's girl coquettishly talked to Zhou Lingwei a few times, and then came to Ning Jiang, maybe because Ning Jiang was not a few years older than her, she liked to talk to Ning Jiang.

The night was getting deeper.

There was silence.

"What is there to worship Liu Xianyu? She herself is not good at learning and needs others to teach her. ”

"Wen Hancheng, that's an old man, he only used his heart to control the sword at the age of seventy, and his qualifications are too poor. ”

"Sword King Chu Bai, barely. ”

Zhou Chuchu, a girl, is obsessed with swords, and dreams of being a chivalrous and righteous sword cultivator, and the words she chatted with Ning Jiang were all related to sword cultivation.

Ning Jiang is not a person who rejects people thousands of miles away, and when he heard Zhou Chuchu talk about some famous sword cultivators, he casually commented a few words.

When the people around heard Ning Jiang's words, they immediately cast mocking glances, not to mention them, this time even Zhou Chuchu felt that Ning Jiang was bragging.

Sword King Chu Bai, known as a once-in-a-century kendo wizard, above the four major sword sects, Ning Jiang actually said reluctantly?

"Enough, I should have warned you to stop talking nonsense, it seems that you can't change your arrogant nature. ”

Li Jie walked over and heard that Ning Jiang despised Liu Xianyu again, and couldn't bear it anymore.

"I'll give you two choices now, either leave the herb collection team, or apologize for what you just said, and swear to shut up!" Li Jie was aggressive.

"Sister. Zhou Chuchu hurriedly looked at Zhou Lingwei, in this medicine collection team, only Zhou Lingwei could suppress Li Jie, the captain.

"It's late at night now, the Demon Mist Mountain Range is more dangerous than during the day, let him leave is tantamount to letting him go to death, forget it, let him apologize, and then leave tomorrow." Zhou Lingwei also felt displeased with Ning Jiang.

She didn't want Zhou Chuchu to contact Ningjiang at all now, so she wouldn't be spoiled by Ningjiang.

"Not good!"

"A group of gibbon apes approaching!"

Suddenly, an anxious roar rang out from not far away.

It's a patrol!
