"You haven't gotten back to my question?"

"What do you mean by outside?"

Xie Shi smiled lightly.

"Outside is outside, I know all the people here, I have never seen you, you must be from outside. We haven't had an outsider here in years! ”

This woman said very seriously, which immediately shocked Xie Shi.

"You mean I'm not the only one who has been here!"

Xie Shi's words once again made the girl's eyebrows smile into crescent moons.

"Of course, not only you, but our ancestors all came here from outside, otherwise you would not have thought we were monkeys. But don't ask me about these things, when you go back tomorrow, you can ask my father, he knows more than I do! ”

Xiao Yao's words immediately made Xie Shi about to ask, but Shengsheng was held back, and after thinking about it, he spoke again.

"You're staying here to continue killing the spider you just had?"

Xiao Yao nodded vigorously, as if speaking of this time, it made him very proud.

"You didn't know when you first came, this spider is called a tarantula, it is the most common kind of soul beast here, but during the day it will be invisible and immobile, it will not be detected at all, and it will only appear at night, we must try to kill them at night, lest they gather too much and attack our stockade."

Then she stood up with great pride and said, "I am the most skillful in our stockade, so I was sent to sneak attack the tarantula, and then control its movements on its back, and shoot it with these machine crossbows, otherwise, they are too fast, and we can't do anything about them!" ”

"Soul beasts? And what did you just pull out of the tarantula! ”

Xie Shi asked again.

"Is this...... You come with me! ”

Xiao Yao smiled slyly, couldn't help but say, pulled Xie Shi to the side of a crossbow, reached out and uncovered a box on the crossbow, and shook his head slightly, signaling that he would look at it himself.

Xie Shi looked puzzled, took a step forward, and after his eyes poked into the box, he was immediately shocked.

The box itself does not have any special features, but in this box, there is a jade slab, on this slate, there are extremely cumbersome lines of engraving, and around this jade, there are several small grooves, these grooves prevent the placement of this small section of the truncated light strip!

This is an extremely complex formation, and such a huge machine crossbow is driven by this light bar as a raw material and this formation as a driving force!

In other words, this kind of light strip that is extracted from the tarantula's body is equivalent to a spirit stone! In other words, it is the existence of the beast core demon pill.

At this moment, Xiao Yao seemed to have thought of something, quietly leaned into Xie Shi's ear, and said in a voice that only he could hear: "By the way, it's best not to say the things you used to save me just now, lest the second elder see it and force you to hand it over!" ”

The following night, the two of them have been spending time by this fire, under Xie Shi's repeated inquiries, they know a lot about this place, but they are still at a loss for how to get out of here!

And it seems that Xie Shi's luck is excellent, this night, there is no second tarantula appear, the two of them and the more than ten men who are cautiously on duty around the fire, came to the next morning safely, in Xie Shi's expectation, Xiao Yao took him and began to return to the village in her mouth!

Xie Shi followed behind Xiao Yao, as well as the more than ten big men, and the group did not pack up the crossbows placed in the forest, and stepped through a trickling stream not far behind them, and went deep into the forest.

This forest didn't look the slightest abnormal outside, and it didn't look the slightest strange after just coming in, but after Xiao Yao took the two of them to walk for half a pillar of incense, it began to change.

I saw that the trees around me changed from the thickness of the bowl mouth at the beginning to the thickness of the hug, and finally became thicker and thicker, and the big trees that more than a dozen people could not hug abound, and the dirt road on the ground also became a paved road with bluestone slabs.

However, Xie Shi was even more puzzled, even if these trees were dense, if they were attacked by that kind of tarantula, they would not be able to stop them.

"Your stockade is in the middle of this forest? With these trees alone, I'm afraid I can't stop the tarantula from sneaking in! And as you said, there will be some soul beast tides here from time to time! ”

Xie Shi asked, after last night's conversation, Xie Shi already knew that this so-called tarantula was fundamentally condensed from this space, although it was in the form of a demon beast. But it's not the body of a demon beast, it's very different from the demon beasts in the outside world!

Xiao Yao smiled playfully: "Don't underestimate this tree, every tree has a mystery, this forest is a huge labyrinth, if no one leads the way, let alone a dozen of us, even if there are thousands of them, they can only be trapped in it, and you can rest assured, these trees have some peculiarities, and they can't be burned by fire." ”

seemed to know what Xie Shi was going to ask, so Xiao Yao said it directly.

"Then if it's ......" Xie Shi was about to ask something, but was interrupted by Xiao Yao.

"What if someone comes who will be smart, right? Rest assured, there is a rare mosquito on the top of this forest, which is also born from heaven and earth, dense and innumerable, if someone dares to use the technique of light body, come in from above, there will be no bones left. ”

Xiao Yao was about to say something, when she suddenly whispered, raised her head and said in one direction: "Hey, second senior brother, why are you here, are you here to pick me up?" ”

"Haha, you girl is sharp-eyed, Master knows that you brought someone back, and ordered me to wait for you here!"

Xiao Yao's words were said, and a man's voice came from a distance.

Xie Shi raised his head and looked in the direction where the voice came from, and after several searches, he saw a figure in a white shirt on the back of a big stone, the man looked like he was in his early thirties, dressed in snow-white clothes, and there was also a white scarf on his head, and on his waist was a water-blue brocade belt, and even more obviously, it was a big bow that the man was carrying behind him.

The big bow was also snow-white, but there was no light, but between the two corners of the bow, there was a thin golden line flowing slowly, other than that, there was no other strangeness, but Xie Shi knew that this bow was by no means simple.

Just when Xie Shi looked at it carefully, the man laughed, jumped down from the big stone, and the seemingly random two steps spanned a distance of more than ten zhang, and he came to the three of them in a flash, which made Xie Shi's heart shocked, and he immediately paid attention to this man.

If you can't show cultivation here, then this person's body method should be all based on the strength of the body, and Xie Shi also felt a powerful power from this person, this power is very subtle, like the spiritual power in his body, as if it was suppressed!

And after the distance was close, when Xie Shi looked at the bow again, there was a slight change, it turned out to be made of jade tires, faintly glowing with a few faint traces of green oil, just on both sides of the bow wings inlaid with metal feet, the snow blade was cold, and at a glance, he knew that it was extremely sharp.

Xie Shi looked up and down again, his eyes stopped at the man's waist, and he saw that the belt was tightly attached to the flesh, but it had a bit of an unusual arc.

Although he has no spiritual sense now, with the exquisite power in Xie Shi's body, it is still easy to find that there is a soft sword on this person's waist.

"Brother Xie, I am Xiao Yao's second senior brother, my father's surname is Fang, and my single name is Shao."

Then he said to Xiao Yao: "I know the news of your return, the master and they are already waiting for you in the hall, and the news came back last night, saying that you were injured, but the master and the mother are worried, go, let's go see them, Brother Xie, please." ”

Only then did Xie Shi know that Xiao Yao had used some method that he didn't know about last night to send his information back.

So more than ten people walked forward for a while, only to see that the trees on both sides were all the thickness of more than a dozen people to hug, and the further they went, the deeper they were.

And what made Xie Shi even more strange was that he had already seen the mountain peaks outside, and the forest here was only ten miles deep, but more than ten people had already walked for a while, and the speed was not slow, and it had not yet come to the end.

However, he didn't know much about the formation, and the assassin's spirit beast bag couldn't be opened, and white and black couldn't communicate.

After another time of incense, the woods in front of it suddenly thinned, and the road surface began to sink downward, revealing a canyon that was not too deep, and the road surface became a bluestone slab, and there were clumps of flowers and plants on both sides of the road, and bees and butterflies swarmed, but it was quite a bit of scenery.

A few steps further, the vision suddenly opened up, only to see that in front of it was a flat land with the size of hundreds of acres, one of which opened up a pond full of lotus leaves, and next to the pond, is a very magnificent and simple house.

The corner of the eaves corridor, carved dragon and phoenix, what is even more amazing is that this house is seven stories high, the door posts outside, all of them are straight logs hugged by several people, on each corner, there is a huge lantern of seven or eight feet in size, and under the corner of the house, there is a stone lion squatting more than a foot high, and what is even more amazing is that there are many branches and trunks, which clearly stretch out from this house.

Facing Xie Shi is a riveted gate more than two feet high.

The copper rings on the door are as thick as an arm, and above them, there is a very quaint ranking, which reads: Tianbao Villa.

The group of big men behind him had long since disappeared, and as soon as Xie Shi stood still, the door creaked open from the inside, and then a young man dressed as a servant came out, bowed down and hugged his fists and said, "Welcome the eldest lady back to the house." ”

It seemed that Xie Shi's performance had been expected for a long time, Xiao Yao smiled slyly, pulled him and walked into the courtyard of the king's mansion, Fang Shao also smiled lightly behind him, and followed.

When I entered the door, I was greeted by a tall screen, and the wall was empty, except for two vigorous characters engraved on it: Tianshu.

Didn't stay long, the three of them went directly around the screen, came to the courtyard behind, as soon as they came out, Xie Shi exclaimed again, only to see that in the courtyard, according to the houses on both sides, there were two rows of big tripods with two people to be high, at a glance, there were hundreds, the patterns on the tripods were all kind, almost the same, Xie Shi was about to ask Xiao Yao what the use of these copper tripods was, and he saw that at the end of the compound, an ancient tree appeared in everyone's field of vision.

Xie Shi couldn't help but exclaim.

This tree is huge, it makes people feel disgusted, I am afraid that it is the whole house of the smaller people's family, and it can't catch up with its thick and huge, the trunk is even more obscure, and there are many roots that extend to the surroundings, and most of them extend directly into the houses on both sides, there are more than 100 houses on both sides, but at this time, it seems that there are traces of tree roots climbing on the eaves, Xie Shi thought in his heart, this whole villa, I am afraid that it is built because of this ancient tree.

With a look of surprise on his face, he tilted his head and took a deep breath, and his gaze was even more shocking!

"Golden Autumn Ancient Banyan! There is such a mature golden autumn ancient banyan here! ”

After speaking, he took two breaths of air with great nostalgia, looking extremely enjoyable.

Xiao Yao on the side only glanced at it with some surprise, but Fang Shao did look at Xie Shi with some suspicion.

"Oh? Brother Xie actually recognized this ancient banyan? ”
