Chapter 3 - The Mystery of the Dark Forest
"Today, the princes of the royal family will ride their horses to the hunting grounds for winter hunting, and they will soon come to choose their mounts. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info Then Steward Wei said: "So, everyone, behave well! If you are the princes, the princess has taken a fancy to the horses you take care of. There must be a big reward, you know? ”
"All of you are spiritual, although you are all cultivators, you still have to understand the basic etiquette, presumably I don't need to teach it." Steward Wei said again.
"Get ready, welcome the princes, princesses!" Steward Wei said: "It's here, it's here, why did you come, why didn't anyone report this."
The leader was a young man in his early twenties, but instead of wearing a royal robe, he was wearing a special white practice suit, a windbreaker over the white practice clothes, a scarf made of unknown fur, a green jade crown on his head, and a pair of yellow leather riding boots. The face is delicate, with a hint of arrogance between the eyebrows. She was followed by a young girl. He was only twenty years old, dressed in a plain white brocade robe, and at first glance he saw that the white satin was embroidered with strange flowers from another world, and a white belt tightened his thin waist, elegant and luxurious. The lips are simply smeared with light red lip blush, and the whole face looks particularly beautiful. The three thousand green silk are only curled up with a delicately carved flower hairpin. Stepping on a pair of snow boots, walking is a slight lotus step, with a fragrance coming, which is refreshing.
The next girl was even more eye-catching, her clothes were much the same as the woman in front of her, and the small difference was that she was dressed in blue. It's just that a young face is more pure, smiling slightly and full of playfulness. It seems that this dress is the standard for royal women to go out. There were about a dozen people in total, plus a middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman. That Wei Fengqi hurriedly walked over to pay a visit.
"The little one has seen all the princes and princesses, and I have seen two adults, I don't know what to call them?" Wei Fengqi hurriedly saluted and asked.
"We don't need to know what we call you, you all call these princes, princess. Get down to business, do it quickly. The middle-aged man replied. Yes, yes, the villain understands. Wei Fengqi returned, "Please choose a horse for the princes and princesses." ”
"Sister Yan'er, you see how cute this white horse is, we want this kind of horse, right?" The girl in blue asked.
"Two princesses, this kind of horse is called Flying Snow Horse, born in the Northern Regions, with a gentle temperament, mostly white." Sora saw that they were in the prime of the horses under their own management, and immediately moved forward to solve their doubts. If the other children of the Fang family saw each other, they would definitely grit their teeth. I'm afraid that only Kumi is so calm, after all, Kumi has crossed over.
"Well, Sister Rong'er, then we want this horse!" The woman in white replied.
"Thank you to the two princesses, the villain will lead the horse for the princess." Sorami busily said.
"Humph! We come on our own. The woman in yellow said. I'm rubbing, it's really hard to serve, I thought. With that, they took the two horses with them.
"Brother, isn't that Shen Rong'er?" Yi Jian asked.
"Well, it's her." Sorami replied.
"Did you choose well? Once you've chosen, let's go! The woman asked, "Remember, the chosen one is your horse." To be treated, I believe in riding a horse for a person who has practiced martial arts. It's not difficult, everything that should be taught has been taught. ”
"Well, Aunt Lan will be careful."
"Let's go, the third prince!" The middle-aged man said.
"Take them along, these horses still need to be taken care of." The woman replied, "Let them go in a carriage." ”
The palace basement, "Does Shen Lao have a move?" A man in a green robe asked an old man in front of him.
"Don't worry, Xiaoyou, everything is under control." The old man returned.
"I don't know how Shen Lao arranged, can you reveal a thing or two." The blue-robed man then asked.
"Hahahaha, what's the point of revealing one or two? I've already ordered the people below to send some of the juniors of the Fang family to the Western Regions? Keep an eye on them when the time comes. Once the tomb is born, my royal family will know about it as soon as possible. At that time, the contents of the tomb were not in our pockets. The old man replied.
"Shen Lao is really powerful, let the group of juniors of the Fang family lead out of the ancient tomb, and let the group of scattered cultivators in the Western Regions fight for it, and I will wait to reap the profits, wonderful seconds!" The man in the green robe laughed. "Elder Shen, don't worry, there will be a lot of things that belong to your Holy Dynasty at that time."
"Cooperate with Qiannan Sect, my Shen Feng can rest assured!" The old man laughed.
"I wish us a happy cooperation, but I don't want the other two to know about it." The man said. "That's nature." The old man replied. The man then disappeared into the basement.
"Uncle Huang, this Qiannan Sect Duan is not credible." A man in a royal robe said. This man is the current Emperor of the Holy Dynasty - Shen Linyuan.
"That's nature, and cooperating with the Qiannan Sect was originally instructed by the ancestors. This is also the meaning of the Zhenbei Sect Elders' Church. The contest with the Qiannan Sect will be handed over to me, but you have to worry a lot about the affairs of the Western Regions in Linyuan. The old man said.
"Well, then I won't disturb Uncle Huang's retreat, and Lin Yuan will retire." After speaking, Shen Linyuan exited the basement.
"Here we are, this is my royal hunting ground, with grasslands, deep forests, lakes...... This is a foothill of Xuanling Mountain, and the level of demonic beasts is not high, usually some second-grade and below the level of demonic beasts, but with your strength, you still need to be careful. The middle-aged man who led the team said.
"Whew! This is clearly our family's ......," Yi Jian muttered.
"Forget it, the ninth brother will become the king and lose the king. That's it, according to last night's plan. Gotta find the right time, understand? Sorami said.
"Hmm," Yi Jian replied.
"Those two are just the powerhouses of the Soul Condensation Realm, I hope I didn't make a mistake in judgment, and there is only one chance." Sorami thought to himself.
"At noon, they went into the mountains to search for demonic beasts and we took action, this hunting ground is just west of the imperial capital, we will go straight in the direction we came, don't look back." Sorami returns.
"What are the plans of the two brothers, you might as well tell me below." Suddenly, a hand was placed on Sorami's shoulder. For a while, Kong Jian was shocked into a cold sweat, and Yi Jian on the side also took a big jump. Kong Jian turned around and turned out to be Zhao Yu who he met in the horse shed.
Without waiting for the two of them to react, Zhao Yu said again: "Others only know that the royal family of the previous dynasty has been killed, but my Zhao family naturally knows some of the situation."
"It's easy to see it in the lower family Fang, but it's easy to see it in the lower ninth brother." Seeing that the matter had come to this, he didn't hide it, and Zhao Yu answered truthfully.
"Sure enough, the speculation is correct, it seems that I still have to call the two princes." Zhao Yuzhen said solemnly.
"Brother Zhao is serious, I am not the descendants of the Fang family. Since he is not a prince, he is now the world of the Shen family, and he has nothing to do with me. Sorami replied.
"Since Brother Zhao Yu intends to join, then my two brothers will be honest with each other. Brother Zhao listened well......"
"Rest assured, no one wants to be a slave," Zhao Yu said.
"Yes, I often say that I would rather be a beggar than a slave." Yi Jian said.
"A good one'd rather be a beggar than a slave. Brother Kongjian is really arrogant, I think this matter can be done. Zhao Yu replied.
"Alright, you should rest too, it's time to go. Today's mission is that you must hunt down at least twenty first-order demonic beasts before dark. The middle-aged man who took the lead said.
"What, twenty, that's not equivalent to twenty Qi Cultivation Realm powerhouses, but also equivalent to Qi Cultivation Realm powerhouses regardless of rank. Our most powerful third brother is only in the three-grade Qi realm. Shen Rong'er complained.
"I'm sorry, the nineteenth princess, we also do what the emperor wants." The woman replied.
"Rong'er, don't worry about your third brother and me." The young man in white said.
"Okay, third brother, I'll believe you once." Shen Rong'er said.
"Okay, okay, isn't there still your sister Yan, let's go!" That Shen Yan'er was comforted. It is still a bit difficult for them to hunt twenty demonic beasts, otherwise how can it be called experience?
"Alas, the children of the empire will face slaughter, and this little winter hunt is just the beginning!" The middle-aged man muttered.
"See brother, see brother, they're all gone." Yi Jian said to the empty view.
"I'm going, and I'm going to see you make it clear and leave with everything." Sorami asked.
"Of course."
"Shhhhh Zhao Yu hurriedly covered Yi Jian's mouth and said.
At this time, I saw Wei Feng get up and said: "Now you have to be careful, the two adults go to supervise and protect the prince, the princess goes, maybe there will be low-level demonic beasts here, don't walk around." Otherwise, you may be worried about your life. ”
"I'll hear you." Zhao Yu said busily
"Let's go." Sorami said. The three of them led the horses and left. "Hey, what are you three imps doing?" Seeing that the three of them turned around and led the horses away, Wei Fengqi hurriedly turned around and said.
The three of them had already responded and replied, "The horses are running far away and are thirsty, so I will wait to drink the horses."
"Well, go ahead! Remember to go early and come back early, be careful. Wei Fengqi said. Looking at that look, I was quite concerned about the three of them.
"Go," Sorumi said decisively.
As soon as the three of them reached the edge of the mountain stream, they immediately mounted their horses and whipped away, all the way to the west. Wei Fengqi never reacted.
"Horses, run, hurry!" Yi Jian muttered. The horses of this Xuanwu Continent have the blood of demonic beasts, and they are not comparable to the horses on the earth, so it is really not a problem to travel thousands of miles a day. Before the three of them knew it, they didn't know how far they had run. Suddenly, there was a sound of fighting in front of me.
"Phew, hoo" The three of them hurriedly tightened the reins of their horses.
"Get off your horse, damn it, there's no one fighting here. It doesn't seem to be as smooth as expected. Zhao Yu said softly.
"Looks like we're keeping things simple. Let's hide and see the situation first, presumably there won't be any strong people in this kind of place. Sorami replied.
"No, it seems that there is still a voice of a demonic beast, you listen." Yi Jian said. So saying, the three of them hid their horses. Through a dense shrub forest, an open forest appeared, and there was no vegetation in this forest except for the green moss on the ground, and there was only a huge tree that had grown for an unknown number of years. When Kongjian was distracted, the sound of fighting was gradual, accompanied by the roar of the demonic beast, like a tiger and not a tiger, like a wolf and not a wolf, low and mighty.
"Be careful, the man appeared, a man and a woman. Isn't that the two minions of the Shen family who led the team? Yi Jian said.
"Really." Sorami replied.
"Look at that monster appearing, what a hideous head." Zhao Yu exclaimed.
"I don't know what kind of monster this is, it looks like a tiger but not a tiger, like a wolf and not a wolf. Don't find out I'm waiting. Sorami whispered. I saw the monster roar, and with the cold wind, it was even more powerful,
"I don't know." Zhao Yu replied.
"Brother, the two of them can't support it, it seems that they are being chased and killed by this demonic beast. I thought they were so good! Yi Jian said with a smile.
"Don't bb, listen to what they have to say." Sorumi scolded.
"Husband, I'm afraid we're going to plant here today." The woman replied.
"Qian'er, don't panic, there will be variables, follow the wind." The middle-aged man let out a loud shout. As soon as the finger was stretched, a mysterious qi appeared on the index finger, and in an instant, the mysterious qi broke out of the finger and went with the wind, approaching the strange demonic beast, and for a while, the giant tree that made several people and hug tremble. It's a pity that the demonic beast jumped and the mysterious qi that went away with the wind tightly brushed the fur of the demonic beast's abdomen, and then the white hair on the demonic beast's abdomen was dyed with a little red blood. The pain became even more hideous, and it roared angrily, slapping the man's strange paws with Gangfeng's bewitching feet.
"I'm afraid that **** is going to be shot to death." Sorami sneered. It was too late, and then I saw a layer of ethereal aura appear in front of the man, blocking the palm of the demonic beast. But it was slapped on the huge tree trunk, and a mouthful of red blood spurted out.
"Husband!" The woman shouted.
"Evil obstacles. Don't worry, I can't die yet. The man scolded, spitting out the blood in his mouth.
"Brother, it's soul armor, they are really strong in the Soul Condensation Realm." Yi Jian said.
"It seems that Brother Kong's guess is good." Zhao Yudao. "Well, we'll see what happens." Sorami whispered. Before the husband and wife could react, another wind was blowing, and the demonic beast attacked again. "Qian'er, I'm afraid that the demonic beast has already reached the peak of the third-order demonic beast, and it can't be defeated by us! I'll stop it, you go first. After speaking, the man took out a pill from his pocket and took it without hesitation.
"Husband, that's."
"That's right, Raging Dan."
"You go quickly, take Hao'er with you when you return to the imperial capital." The man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said.
"Husband, you hold on, I'll find someone to save you. You have to persevere. The woman said with a weeping voice. Idiot, you! At this moment, those princes and princesses are afraid that they have all fallen into the belly of the beast, and we will definitely be wiped out by the royal family, who else do you call to save me. The man said as he fended off the beast.
"It's all my fault, husband, I want to come to this imperial capital." The woman lost her voice for a moment, and became bitter.
"How can I blame you, you are also for Hao'er's future, Hao'er will never be productive with us in that poor country, don't say it, go." The man seemed to be angry, and between his words, it could be seen that he still had a problem with the woman coming to the imperial capital. The woman cried and swept into the distance, the Soul Condensation Realm could not fly in the sky, but the speed was extremely fast and disappeared from the sight of the three of them in the blink of an eye.
"Fuck blame the royal family for those boys who don't know how to live and die, and they actually went to provoke the fourth-order demonic beast Flying Tiger. Alas, hateful! My life is at rest. Before he could finish his sentence, the tiger's paw tore his chest and slapped it on the head, and he couldn't die anymore. I saw the demonic beast roar at the man, and turned around and swept towards the depths of the forest. For a time, in the depths of the deep forest, Zhou Gangfeng was everywhere. Ten thousand beasts roared.
"Brother, that monster seems to be some kind of flying tiger beast." Yi Jian said.
"That monster is really gone, come with me!" Sorami said.
"Brother, where are you going, you two are waiting for me!" Yi Jian said.
"Go and make a fortune on the dead, hurry. If the woman comes back nervous, it's no fun. It's usually like this on TV. Sorami said. So he came to the corpse. "Brother Zhao, look for what we need?" Sorami said. The two of them groped around the corpse. "It's so powerful, this is the body of a Soul Condensing Realm powerhouse that was torn apart by that demonic beast with a palm. Fortunately, the monster didn't find a few of us. Zhao Yu sighed.
"I've found something good, brother, a book of exercises, it seems to be a mystical technique! "Breaking Wind Finger", garbage is only intermediate in the yellow order. No wonder the fool died in the jaws of the tiger. That's what this garbage can do. ”
"I found a few pills, I don't know what grade they are, and I don't know what they do." Zhao Yu said.
"I only found a few thousand golden tickets. And a dagger. Sorami returned.
"Alas, the Xuanqi Gong method is useless without this Xuanji." Then Zhao Yu said.
"Don't worry, look for it again."
"Brother, I touched something. A bag around his waist," said Yi Jian, with a face full of surprise.
"Open it and take a look." Zhao Yu said urgently.
"It's a book of exercises, "Resisting the Wind". Haha "Easy to see the surprise back.
"Look, there's another elixir." Zhao Yu laughed.
"It seems to be a wind attribute exercise. Now there is hope. ”
"Well, just now this man also used the Wind Occult Technique. It's a pity that the mystical skill is not on him. Xuanwu Continent's Xuanshu and exercises are divided into heaven and earth. According to the power of the wind finger, it is afraid that it is a kind of mystical skill. How could the two of them wear it on their bodies? Judging by the conversation between the two of them when they were separated, they were originally afraid that it was just a first-order casual cultivation. In order to find a good force for his son, he joined the Shen family. That mysterious technique should be the Shen family, pity the hearts of parents in the world! Sorami replied.
"Put away your things and leave quickly, so as not to cause accidents." I'm leaving.
"Oh no, let's go!" Kong Jian shouted, and for a while, a demonic beast burst out from the depths of the deep forest, and it turned out to be a white leopard, which was extremely fast, and it seemed like the wind was moving towards the three of them.
"Don't get on the horse, the horse is afraid of the fang." Sorumi shouted.
"No, this beast I know is the spotted leopard, and it is extremely fast." Zhao Yu said urgently.
"Damn, that demon tiger has just retreated, and this little first-order demonic beast dares to come out, it's strange." Yi Jian said helplessly.
"It's not good, it's the beast tide, see brother, some non-grade demonic beasts have also appeared."
