Chapter 11: The Naughty Girl and the Shy Boy
By evening, it was already dusk with a crescent moon.
Everyone finally arrived at the foot of the Demon Beast Mountain Range. Xuanchen looked at the behemoth in front of him, the bushes were deep, and the ancient giant trees covered the sky and the sun, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
"Rest in place for half an hour, and then go down the mountain at sunset. Lei Xing commanded the people.
"Come to Chen'er, drink some water and eat something first. Xiao Zhen took out the dry food and handed it to Xuan Chen first.
Xuan Chen gasped and asked, "Huh...... Father, why did you choose to go into the mountains at night?"
Along the way, in order not to drag down everyone's footsteps, he can be said to have spent a lot of effort.
Xiao Zhen took a bite of dry food and explained: "Most demon beasts have the habit of rising and lurking at night, so at night the activities of demon beasts will be relatively less frequent, so it is much safer and can save a lot of trouble." Because we are going to enter the middle layer of the mountain range, although those demon beasts in the outer layer are not to be worried, if they encounter them frequently, it will inevitably greatly affect the efficiency of travel. ”
"I see. Xuanchen suddenly realized, and was about to drink water to quench his thirst, but saw several figures in the distance approaching this side quickly.
The faces of those people gradually became clearer. The leader is an extraordinary young man, handsome and elegant, with a hint of grace.
There was a man and a woman behind him, the young man's eyes were cold and arrogant, and he looked indifferent to reject people thousands of miles away.
The girl's eyebrows and eyes are like daisies, bright eyes and bright teeth, three thousand green silk fluttering like spring catkins, and her posture is slender and exquisite. A dark green gauze skirt, the girl set off is like a blue bird flying lightly in the field. It's a beautiful and aura girl.。
"What a coincidence, all of you from the Thunder War Mercenary Regiment. The young man at the head slowly slowed down and hugged his fists.
"It turned out to be Young Master Mo Ling. Lei Xing put down the water bag in his hand, took the lead in getting up to greet him, and he asked, "You brought Mo Qinghe and Mo Qinghan to this place to ...... the two siblings."
"Haha, Captain Lei Xing, you have something to talk about when you ask about this. The young man who was the leader was the boy who was fighting with the Mu family in the small courtyard that day, the genius of the Mo family, Mo Ling.
Mo Ling smiled heartily and said: "Speaking of which, I would like to thank the brothers of the Lei Zhan Mercenary Group, since the last time Qinghe followed you to the Demon Beast Mountain Range to experience a lot, he has benefited a lot, and when he comes back, his strength has risen like a spring bamboo." Therefore, after discussion, the patriarch and elders decided to regularly send a group of clansmen into the Demon Beast Mountain Range to experience. It's really an afterthought, I haven't realized that the Demon Beast Mountain Range is such a feng shui treasure place for great benefit cultivation in the past so many years, I hope it won't be too late. ”
Lei Xing said with a smile: "It's not too late, it's not too late, it's not too late." ”
"With the good words of the head of Lei Xing, the younger generation is much more relieved. This time, it was me who took Qinghe and Qinghan first, which was regarded as a flaunt for the peers in the family, but I didn't expect to happen to meet you, that sentence is really wonderful, called...... There is a fate to meet thousands of miles away. Mo Ling said with a smile.
"You kid, you can speak so well, and you don't know who to learn from. After all, among the three of you, only Qinghe Xian's nephew has dealt with demon beasts, but he is still just a fledgling, and he doesn't know much about the demon beast mountain range and the habits of demon beasts, you know, these are the foundation and indispensable for survival in the demon beast mountain range. Lei Xing asked with concern.
The last time Mo Qinghe followed them into the mountain, everyone thought it was the little guy joking, so they didn't take it too seriously. Moreover, without the turmoil between Xiao Zhen and the Mu family, the friendship between the Lei Zhan mercenary group and the Mo family can be said to be nodding friends at best. In addition, Mo Qinghe has a withdrawn temperament, cherishes words like gold and doesn't like to talk to people, so he doesn't ask, Lei Li and they will naturally not offer affection, a group of five big and three rough men, few people have the eight-sided exquisiteness of Lei Xing.
So in all fairness, Mo Qinghe learned very little survival skills.
"Thank you Leader Lei Xing for your concern, the Great Elder will accompany us, it shouldn't be a big problem. Mo Ling said.
"Oh, Elder Moxiao is here too, ha, that's a lot of worrying about me. Lei Xingdao, "But there are some things that need to be paid attention to, I think it is still necessary to explain a thing or two to you, and then Elder Mo Xiao's side, you can also tell on your behalf, they are all experience that can avoid a lot of trouble." ”
Mo smiled and said respectfully: "The juniors are here, and the Mo family has thanked the head of Lei Xing first." ”
While Lei Xing and Mo Ling were talking, Xiao Zhen told Xuan Chen about Mo Ling's help that day. At that time, Xuanchen was in a coma, and he didn't know anything about the twists and turns that happened afterward, so he was naturally unfamiliar with Mo Ling's face.
"You, you, you!"
The girl in the dark green gauze skirt suddenly ran quickly to Xuan Chen, pointed to Xuan Chen's silver-white hair, and she asked in amazement, "How did you do this hair color?"
Xuanchen was taken aback.
"I ...... I was born with it. Xuanchen said with a slight red cheek, his eyes kept dodging, and he didn't dare to meet the girl's bright black eyes head-on, because they were very good-looking, and their eyes were like blue water.
The boy only felt that his mind was getting more and more faint and blank.
"Qinghan, don't mess around!" Mo Ling, who had listened to Lei Xing's advice, quickly walked over when he saw this and scolded.
Immediately, Mo Ling hurriedly hugged his fists at Xiao Zhen and Xuanchen and said apologetically: "Little sister is rude, please don't blame Brother Xiao and Brother Xuanchen." ”
Xiao Zhen hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Young Master Mo Ling is serious, the children are playing with each other, just let them go." ”
"I have long heard that Brother Xiao is broad-minded, and when I see it today, it should be true. Mo Ling said.
"Young Master Mo Ling praised it falsely, he can't bear it, he can't bear it. Xiao Zhen admires the young man in front of him from the bottom of his heart, young and young, but he has the old age that is diametrically opposed to his age, and he is very decent in contact with people. Green out of blue and blue out of blue, such a mind, how can future achievements be ordinary.
"Brother Xiao is humble. Mo Ling said, and immediately looked at the girl who still didn't listen to persuasion, still studying the silver hair with a question mark on her face.
The girl actually stretched out her white jade fingers, grabbed a few strands of hair and looked closer, the key is that the young man on the opposite side was motionless, and let his own wayward girl toss, Mo Ling looked very helpless, should this be timid, or can he be tame and honest?
Mo Ling reprimanded again: "Qinghan, don't come back yet!"
"Oh. The girl in the dark green gauze skirt muttered, and finally reluctantly withdrew her hand.
The girl who failed to find out a result, and didn't believe in the "innate" statement of the teenager, was very unwilling.
The cute and playful girl grimaced at Mo Ling, and then obediently stood behind him.
"Brother Xuanchen, little sister is naughty, didn't scare you, did she?" asked Mo Ling.
"I didn't ...... No. Xuanchen snorted, and secretly glanced behind Mo Ling, unexpectedly, the girl was also looking at him from poking her head, and the two looked at each other and bumped into each other.
Xuanchen only felt as if there were sparks bursting out at the place where the two eyes met, dazzling and dazzling, so he didn't dare to stay for half a moment longer, and was quickly retracted by Xuanchen.
"I have heard a little about the Xuanchen brothers fighting Muhai at the temple fair, and that punch is very beautiful. Mo Ling gave a thumbs up and congratulated with a smile, "Congratulations to Brother Xuanchen for stepping into the martial arts." ”
"Thank you. Xuanchen's throat suddenly dried up for some reason, causing these two words to sound extremely low and hoarse, and it was very embarrassing.
Mo Ling turned his head and glared at the ghostly girl. The girl pouted, looked aggrieved, and retracted her little head.
"Everyone, the elders still have to wait over there, it's a pity that they can't stay longer, I'm sorry, I will leave you today, and you will be victorious in the future, and we will talk about it in the far north city. The road to the Demon Beast Mountain Range is thrilling, take care. Mo Ling said goodbye.
Lei Xing said: "If there is a need, I hope that Young Master Mo Ling will not hesitate to speak." ”
"Haha, it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate. ”
After Mo Ling finished speaking, Mo Qinghe behind him turned around and swept away first, while Mo Ling dragged the reluctant girl and left after him.
Xuanchen finally dared to raise his head, looking at the back of the three of them leaving from afar, and the breeze was blowing, only to feel slightly cool.
In the distance, in a place where the boy could not hear the sound, the girl asked the eldest brother beside her with great interest.
"Big brother, how did you say his hair grew?"
"I don't know. ”
"Could it be a fake?"
"I don't know. ”
"Hmph, boring. ”
The girl named Mo Qinghan, playing with her long hair, she turned her head slightly, and the afterglow was in the middle of it.
"Giggles, goodbye. ”
As if struck by lightning, the young man's eyes suddenly turned to the side, trying to cover his ears and steal the bell.
"Alright, everyone is packing up and getting ready to go into the mountain. Lei Xing looked at the last rays of afterglow outside the opposite plain and said to everyone.
"Chen'er, I'll follow my father later. Xiao Zhen did not forget to remind Xuanchen.
Xuanchen had no master, nodded subconsciously, jumped in the footsteps of Xiao Zhen, and plunged into the dense forest.
After entering the mountain range, Xuan Chen found that the vegetation inside the mountain range was much denser than it seemed from the outside, and there was no way to pass under the ground at all, so he could only choose to jump between the branches of the trees.
Along the way, Xuanchen also sensed the existence of several low-level demon beasts, but they were all so frightened by the aura emitted by the group that they didn't dare to move.
In addition to the forest environment in the mountains, there are many strange things that cannot be seen by the outside world, which is refreshing. For example, flying insects the size of a palm, waist-thick vines, exotic flowers with a diameter of half a zhang exude colorful fluorescence, and only one fruit grows on a tree, and one fruit is larger than the body of an adult strong man......
And, of course, broken weapons and armor, bones that have been eaten by monsters, and blood-stained leaves and branches. Only a few thousand meters away, Xuan Chen found no less than ten corpses.
About an hour later.
"Let's settle down here, Yue Feng, you take a few people to place the Beast Exorcism Pill. ”
The camping site chosen by Lei Xing was an open lawn with a wide view.
Yue Feng followed Lei Xing's instructions and sprinkled some black projectile-like things on the edge of the lawn.
Xiao Zhen explained: "This is a beast repellent pill made from the feces of high-level demon beasts, which can drive away some low-level demon beasts, similar to the deterrent effect of the collar. ”
Some people are responsible for collecting firewood and making fires, and some people are responsible for setting up camp tents, and each performs its own duties. Xuanchen, who was the youngest and inexperienced, had nothing to do, so he ended up idle. However, Xuanchen didn't really sit down, and "admired" others being busy.
While taking the initiative to help, Xuan Chen silently learned everyone's practices, how to place wind chimes to prevent some demon beasts that ignore the beast exorcism pill from breaking into here, which can be a wake-up call; how to dig a pit and make a fire, so as to ensure the light of the camp area, and prevent the fire from leaking too far to attract the attention of the demon beasts; And so on and so forth, there are a lot of details.
This silent class made Xuanchen gain a lot, and he also sincerely felt that the Lei Zhan mercenary group was able to grow to this day, and these experiences must be the "lessons" that countless people have exchanged for blood and even their lives.
This proves that nothing can be done overnight, and those things that seem simple to you are just that you have not been involved in them and take them for granted.
After arranging everything, Lei Xing took out a few jars of wine from the Na Ring, and when everyone saw this, their eyes were shining brightly, and they couldn't wait to lick their lips.
Lei Xing said with a smile: "Everyone can drink a little, but they can't be greedy, and their spirits can't get drunk." Yue Feng, you come and divide it and look at them. ”
"Okay!" Yue Feng smiled and was about to take over the jars of wine.
But at this moment!
"Roaring ......"
A heaven-shattering beast roar tore open the night, resounding through the sky, and in an instant, the earth shook and the mountains and forests trembled.
Xuanchen only felt that his eardrum was about to crack, and his body was shaken by the earthquake and almost fell. Fortunately, Xiao Zhen supported him in time, and at the same time emitted a spiritual power to seal his eardrums for him, resisting the sonic impact of the terrifying beast roar.
The rest of the people were all using their spiritual power, and after stabilizing their bodies, they took out their weapons one after another, and waited for the battle. Although there was no hope on their faces, only fear and panic.
Someone asked in a trembling voice in the direction of the depths of the mountain range: "Could it be ...... Could it be the king of this mountain range, the eight-hoofed blood-eyed ox......?" Who is it...... Who provoked him?"
At this time, in the deepest part of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, a hundred-zhang deep valley, a huge beast was entrenched in it, the giant beast had eight hooves in its belly, its eyes were blood-red, and its body was like a green ox.
"Human, why are you here to disturb me again, I have fulfilled the promise I made back then, haven't I?"
The giant beast actually spoke out of his mouth, which was at least a fifth-order demon beast, equivalent to a human martial monarch-level powerhouse.
And it was such a terrifying beast, but at this moment it was crawling at the bottom of the valley, allowing the white figure to step on the top of its head, trampling on the majesty of being the king of the mountains.
But it couldn't move at all, let alone resist, and there was still a faint trace of timidity in those scarlet bloody eyes?
"I want to use your demon core. The white figure teased.
"You're deceiving people too much......!"
The eight-hoofed blood-eyed cow raised its head angrily, and two pillars of red energy suddenly burst out from those blood-colored eyes, and the pillars of light were so hot that even the air could burn and evaporate.
The red pillar of light swept under the night sky and fell on top of a thousand thousand peaks thousands of feet away.
The next moment, the giant peak was cut in half as if it had been cut by a horizontal knife, crisp as paper tofu.
There was a rumbling sound, and the severed half of the ridge slowly fell downward, and with a bang, countless towering giant trees were crushed into debris in an instant, and the frightened birds and beasts near the mountain forest were lucky enough to escape for their lives, and the silent mountain forest was wailing all over the field for a while.
When the red pillar of light receded, the white figure on top of the head of the eight-hoofed blood-eyed bull had disappeared, leaving only an emerald green, the silhouette of which was half-human and half-beast, the upper half was a human body, and the lower half was the imprint of the beast's limbs.
"Whether you can get out of this mountain or not depends on your creation. In the air, the voice of the white figure drifted away.
The agitation ceased, and the people on the lawn were pardoned. Looking at the giant peak that had been cut in half, one by one, their legs went limp, and they sat down on the ground, breathing in the fresh air that seemed to be full of life for the rest of their lives.
It is rumored that the deepest part of this mountain range dwells a fierce demon beast king, who is the ruler of this mountain range. As soon as I "heard" today, the rumors are really just rumors, and the damn ferocity is monstrous, and it is clearly monstrous!
And what kind of heavenly powerhouse should it be if he dares to provoke the existence of this king? Everyone prays that he is a human powerhouse, because at least in terms of race, they are from the same lineage.
As the commander of the team, Rao is heart palpitations, his mind was constantly turbulent, and Lei Xing had to forcibly calm his mind and calm his face to stabilize the army's heart. He said to the people, "Now that this mountain king has settled down, there will be no more chaos. Just affected by the coercion of the eight-hoofed blood-eyed cow, the other demon beasts should stay in their own nests honestly tonight and dare not come out, everyone can have a good night's rest. ”
"Leader, you said that if the one who angered the Eight Hoofed Blood-Eyed Ox was really a human powerhouse, then should this powerhouse be from the royal family, or the Three Sects of Dusk Clouds?"
"It's possible for all four. Lei Xing said, but he didn't answer.
It's not that Lei Xing is unwilling to infer it, but he doesn't know where to start at all. Although he broke through the Martial Master Realm, he really wanted to be placed in front of the royal family and the Three Sects of Dusk Clouds, and it was not worth mentioning at all.
The ants at the feet of the elephant will never be able to see the scenery on the back of the elephant.
The man didn't seem to get a satisfactory answer, so he had to analyze it himself and said, "I think it's a little more likely to be someone from the Three Sects of Dusk Clouds, after all, if you cultivate in the Holy Land, maybe there are people who like to travel far and wide, and practice while looking at the mountains and rivers." And the royal family is different, governing such a vast territory of the Sunset Country, I am afraid that it is already lacking in skills, how can it still have the leisure to come to our distant place. ”
Several people nodded silently in agreement, feeling that this person's analysis was reasonable.
Xuanchen felt at a loss, he only knew that the royal family should be the royal family of the Sunset Country, the ruler of the Sunset Country, ruling the territory of a country, and his strength was beyond doubt. The city of the far north, where they are located, is said to be just a "dime" projectile in the territory of the "Nine Cows" of the Sunset Country.
But the three sects of the twilight clouds, Xuanchen heard of it for the first time.
So Xuanchen asked, "Father, what are the Three Sects of Dusk Clouds?"
Xiao Zhen shifted his position and sat down on a softer lawn, and said, "The Three Sects of Twilight Cloud are the three major hidden sects of the empire, namely the Sword Sect, the Wind Miao Sect, and the Cloud Deep Sect. The sects of the three sects are set up on the top of the three cloud mountains of the empire, and every time the sun sets, the three sects are like above the clouds at dusk, so they are called the three sects of the twilight clouds by the world. The three sects of Dusk Cloud have a strong background, even compared to the royal family, they are full of geniuses, and the strong are like clouds, which is a holy place for countless people to practice. ”
