"Whoosh!"

Just when Jia Le and Geng Lu were bent on finding the treasure of heaven and earth, a black shadow suddenly appeared in the grass on the side, accompanied by a sharp sword roar, and a long sword with a flickering cold light stabbed straight at Jia Le, who was walking in the front.

At this moment, Jia Le was holding the map in his hand, and a pair of eyes were looking around for medicinal herbs, and he didn't have time to react at all, seeing that the cold long sword was about to slash through his neck.

"Smack!"

At the critical moment, only a sound of breaking the air was heard, and a branch hit the long sword accurately, and the long sword was immediately bounced away, and Jia Le was lucky to avoid the blow.

"Damn, who are you?"

Seeing that his attack failed, the black shadow's face couldn't help but change, and then he asked in a cold voice.

"Little thief, we belong to Qingfeng Academy!"

The next moment, only a cold female voice was heard from far and near.

"Thank you, Senior Sister Xia, for your help!"

After seeing the person who came clearly, Jia Le, who had picked up a life, hurriedly bowed down and said.

I saw Xia Ningxue floating in front of everyone, looking at the stranger opposite coldly with a pair of eyes, as long as the other party made a slight move, he would strangle him as soon as possible.

"It turned out to be from Qingfeng Academy, fortunately, I will be lucky! I am a student of Whirlwind Academy, this time I went out to practice unfortunately and got lost with my brothers and sisters, just now I originally thought I had encountered a demon beast, so I took the first shot!"

After hearing Xia Ningxue's words, the strange man said with a haha to introduce himself.

"Whirlwind Academy, are you also training in Death Valley?"

When Xia Ningxue heard this, she immediately put away the long sword in her hand and asked out loud at the same time.

"Nice!

The strange man nodded in agreement.

"In this way, it is a false alarm!"

Xia Ningxue did not doubt him, and already believed the words of the strange man in her heart.

However, Luo Jiuxiao, who was standing on the side, snorted coldly in his heart, and casually took a Red Flame Pill in his hand, and the spiritual power in his body quietly operated on the palm of his hand.

"This guy is lying!"

Luo Jiuxiao, who has rich combat experience, was almost certain that the strange man in front of him was lying, so he secretly prepared to prevent an accident from happening.

"The horns are tight, and the sky net is crossed. Great power, yin and yang should be the opportunity!"

Just when Xia Ningxue believed the strange man in front of her, she saw the light in the strange man's hand, and then the surrounding space fluctuated, and then a huge net was cast towards Xia Ningxue and the others, actually wanting to catch everyone.

Luo Jiuxiao, who had been prepared for a long time, sneered, looked at the huge net that was quickly cast, his body flashed, and he escaped from the range of the giant net in the blink of an eye.

"Cold Jade Sword!"

At the same time, Xia Ningxue's reaction was even faster than Luo Jiuxiao's, and with a slap on her waist, she directly sacrificed her spirit sword, and the long sword was like an ice dragon, slashing straight at the strange man.

"Click!"

The strange man didn't have a chance to react, and his whole body was immediately stabbed by the cold jade sword, and the thousand-year-old cold instantly wrapped the strange man, and in the blink of an eye, the strange man was completely frozen.

"Qingfeng Academy...... Looks like I'm underestimating you......"

The strange man spoke, and his entire body immediately turned into an ice sculpture.

"You villain, you still want to sneak up on us!

Jia Le, who had escaped the catastrophe again, was already angry, walked straight forward, and slammed his fist into the strange man who was frozen into an ice sculpture.

"Whoa!"

With a shattering sound, the strange man who had frozen into ice instantly turned into countless fragments under Jia Le's fist, killing him on the spot.

"Senior Sister Xia, this guy has been deceiving people one after another, if you hadn't made a timely move, I'm afraid we would all have fallen for him!"

Looking at the countless fragments on the ground, Jia Le and Geng Lu said fearfully.

"Hehe, I don't think so!"

Xia Ningxue put away her cold jade sword, glanced at Luo Jiuxiao, who had already fled a few zhang away, and said meaningfully.

"Senior Sister Xia, I am a naturally timid person, and I will be frightened at the slightest disturbance, so I will smear oil on the soles of my feet and flee as soon as possible!"

When Luo Jiuxiao heard this, he knew that his actions just now had attracted Xia Ningxue's attention, so he hurriedly prevaricated with a lie.

"You're still timid by nature?"

Xia Ningxue smiled coldly, her eyes full of disbelief.

"Forget it, I don't have the time to chat with you now, this guy who claims to be from Whirlwind Academy is very suspicious, and it is better to deal with the matter in front of him!"

The next moment, Xia Ningxue shifted her gaze to the stranger who had turned into pieces again.

"Senior Sister Xia, I think this guy is a thief who kills people and robs treasures, relying on hiding in the shadows to sneak attack others! It's a pity that I met Senior Sister Xia today, so I was planted here!"

Jia Le, who almost lost his life, couldn't help but scold.

"Murder and treasure hunting, I don't think it's that simple!"

Xia Ningxue frowned, not agreeing with Jia Le's speculation.

"Senior Sister Xia, this place is already very close to the deepest part of Death Valley, if what that person said just now is true. So...... Could this guy's companion be nearby, after all, it's unlikely that he's here alone!"

At this time, Luo Jiuxiao put forward his own opinion.

"And a companion?"

Xia Ningxue glanced ahead with a pair of beautiful eyes, the terrain here is already very complicated, and if you go further, there will be more and more powerful poisonous insects and beasts.

"The stakes are high! I'm going to keep inquiring a little further, and any of you would like to accompany me on a trip?"

The next moment, Xia Ningxue said in a deep voice.

"Ahh......h

After hearing Xia Ningxue's words, Jia Le and Geng Lu, who had already been frightened and wanted to retreat, all said with a sad face.

"Well, since you're scared, let's go back to the entrance of Death Valley and assemble first!"

When Xia Ningxue heard this, she didn't have the slightest reluctance, and said expressionlessly.

"Senior Sister Xia, I'll go with you!"

At this time, Luo Jiuxiao, who had been saying that he was naturally timid, suddenly took the initiative to stand up and say.

"Hmph, the fox's tail is finally revealed! I'd like to see what your real purpose is in Death Valley!"

Luo Jiuxiao's actions seemed to have been expected by Xia Ningxue for a long time, and after glancing at Luo Jiuxiao coldly, he nodded directly in agreement.

"Senior Sister Xia, since Brother Luo is willing to accompany you, then we will leave!"

When Jia Le and Geng Lu saw that Luo Jiuxiao was willing to be a substitute for the dead ghost, they suddenly smiled in their hearts, and couldn't wait to say to Xia Ningxue.

"It's okay, you can go!"

Xia Ningxue waved her hand and said indifferently.

"Thank you, Senior Sister Xia!"

As if they had heard the pardon, Jia Le and Geng Lu turned around and ran away without looking back.

"Luo Jiuxiao, since you're not afraid of death, let's go on the road!"

The next moment, Xia Ningxue smiled slightly and said loudly at Luo Jiuxiao.
