......

"Little boy, aren't you going into the city?" Rat Xiaoqi drooped on Wei Jiu's shoulder, and let out a trace of soul thought.

They had been galloping for more than an hour, and it stands to reason that they should have reached the county seat even if they took a little detour, but Wei Jiu still had no intention of stopping.

"No, since someone is chasing them, how can we not think that our next stop is to defend the city? Wei Jiu stopped running and slowly leaned the little girl in his arms next to a big tree that is evergreen all year round.

"Then what should we do? We can't fight and we can't get into the city, so we can't starve to death in this broken forest?" Rat Xiaoqi also jumped off his shoulder, standing on a dead tree that had fallen to the ground and grumbled.

What kind of days have you been living this day? First I wanted to vomit uncomfortably on the horse, and then I was inexplicably involved in the pursuit, and now I can't even enter the city.

But it seems to have forgotten one thing - staying in the woods won't starve them, at most they won't be as comfortable as the inns.

"Why don't you wait a while to go in, they can't stay in the city all the time, just wait until they let their guard down!" Rat Xiaoqi stood on the dead wood and walked back and forth, carrying his hands behind his back, unwillingly suggesting, and his two big ears unconsciously stood up as he spoke.

"No, I can't. We don't know how determined they are, so it's impossible to know for sure when they'll be able to enter the city. Wei Jiu did not hesitate to dispel its good thoughts.

He can't bet, the other party must have a Broken Realm powerhouse, and there may even be more than one, once he encounters it, he will be dead!

Maybe they will take care of the strict law in the city and not kill innocents indiscriminately, and just snatch the little girl away, but who wants to gamble, or gamble with their own lives?

Besides, even if they don't kill them, once they are discovered, they will not be able to escape.

This kind of risk of letting others control their own lives, Wei Jiu is not willing to take it.

"Then what should we do now?" Rat Xiaoqi's ears drooped down and hung down on one side, and the big fluffy tail that had been erected high was also weakly dragged on the surface of the trees, which were almost dry and dry.

"This dense forest can be connected all the way to the 'East and West Canyons', first bypass this guarded city, and then pass through the canyon, you can go directly to the last county town of our trip!" Wei Jiu blurted out without the slightest hesitation, as if he had already thought of how to survive this crisis.

"Ah~? I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to be killed by you!How far is this? How long does it take to go? I'm going to starve to death, and I don't have the strength to go—let's go, I'll stay here!" Rat Xiaoqi shouted "yelling" in protest, but the sound it made was "squeak chirp-", and he had no choice but to reorganize the language in Wei Jiu's mind to express his dissatisfaction.

Although he has evolved by one level, and he knows what his background is, and he has also obtained some inheritance of his Warcraft clan, his attributes have not changed a little, and he has even deepened it.

Wei Jiu looked helplessly at Rat Xiaoqi lying on the trunk of the tree, thinking about what method to use to coax this "Laipi Mouse", but unexpectedly, Rat Xiaoqi didn't lie down for a while and then turned over and stood up.

"Forget it, Master Rat doesn't care about you, but don't forget, when you arrive at the destination, you must share my share of the bonus!"

"Okay, yes, yes, yes, definitely!" Wei Jiu smiled, and said with a dogleg.

"There must be a share of the rat master, who wants not to give the rat master a bonus, it's simply intolerable!"

......

In the evening, the group sat on the hay-covered ground, surrounded by a campfire that made the occasional "crackling" sound, waiting to treat their stomachs that had been tired for many days.

Before sunset, Wei Jiu hit a second-level "little red porpoise", which happened to be their dinner tonight.

Ye Ning's little hand supported her smooth and delicate chin, staring at the big black mouse sitting opposite for a moment, her crystal eyes flowing, as if she was seriously considering something.

Wei Jiu told her that her Uncle Yang had gone to the Dark Sanctuary first in order to divert the enemy, and had entrusted her to his distant nephew, Wei Jiu. Now, all they had to do was go to the Dark Sanctuary to join Uncle Yang Hongda in peace.

"Brother Yang, can this mouse play with me for a while~ just for a while?" After thinking about it for a long time, she decided to "make it clear" with Wei Jiu, thinking about it, her cheap brother should not refuse.

"Yes, of course, but you'll have to catch it yourself. Wei Jiu looked at Rat Xiaoqi, who was staring at the roast dolphin drooling, and said "boldly".

"Thank you, Brother Yang!"

With that, Ye Ning stood up, tidied up her knee-length black lace skirt, casually wrapped a few strands of green silk around her head, bowed over from the side of the bonfire, and cautiously approached the big black demon rat who was unaware.

"Squeak, squeak!" Rat Xiaoqi seemed to be frightened by this sudden attack, struggling "violently" in a pair of small hands, and then as if giving up, blowing his beard and glaring at someone who couldn't stand up with a smile on the side - how could it not avoid a little girl's "sneak attack", it was Wei Jiu who transmitted the sound, let it "cooperate" well, and invite it to eat the fattest part when the meat was roasted.

......

This is a huge canyon with a very wide bottom, and the midday sun never shines brightly, and it accurately floats through a giant snake-like fissure, so that the coolness here is also a little warm, not cold.

The dew on the tip of the grass was supposed to hang from early morning to dusk, but it was caressed into the air by the waves of the sky and turned into dots.

Morning fog is a very rare occurrence because the sun never shines in the morning, and most of the time, it is like this - foggy at the hottest time of the day, just like today, when the slightly cold air is a little warmer after three poles of sunrise.

The valley was quiet, with the occasional creeping sound of creatures turning over the straw.

At the entrance to the east of the canyon, a slightly emaciated figure gradually approached.

Short black hair and an ordinary and delicate young face caught the eye, followed by a refined martial arts uniform. When I got closer, I saw the grass next to me undulating, revealing two small heads.

Rat Xiaoqi was lying comfortably in Ye Ning's arms at the moment, holding a grass stem in his mouth, rubbing it with his shiny front teeth.

"Arrived?" opened his slightly narrowed eyes, looked at the endless grass in front of him, and turned to Wei Jiu on the side, puzzled by the latter's pause.

"Brother Yang, is this the 'East and West Canyon'?" Ye Ning also stopped, held the demon rat in his arms with both hands, tilted his head and looked around, but to no avail, he asked instead.

Without waiting for Wei Jiu to answer, she put the pointed-toe flat again, as if she had an idea.

On the grass that reached the height of the person's chest, a pair of tender little hands suddenly stretched out, and a black-haired demon rat was lifted high on it.

Rat Xiaoqi writhed "hard", the two grabbed and waved four times, and then gradually weakened and then curled up, and the exposed round ass was also swaying from side to side, with a fluffy tail whipped in the air.

Spit out the stalks of grass that were chewed sparsely in his mouth, as if he was unwilling and "spurned" by "fate", and Rat Xiaoqi finally gave up the struggle.

"East and West Canyons...... It's finally here!" Wei Jiu seemed to sigh, and as if he was answering Ye Ning.

After more than half a month of travel, they set foot on this first target place.

The black figure disappeared into the grass with the pair of jade hands, and the mouse Xiaoqi puffed out his cheeks, letting the little girl rub her hair in her arms without any response.

"Let's go, this canyon is a hundred miles long, let's get out as soon as possible. Wei Jiu spoke, he was afraid that there were powerful demon beasts hiding in the valley.

If you deal with some powerful demon beasts here, such as level 5 or 6, they will really hate them.

More than 100 meters away, the cliffs on both sides are equivalent to two impassable fences, each blocking one side, leaving them with only the remaining two roads.

Wei Jiu's worries were not superfluous, don't look at this canyon is not too big compared to the vast forest, it is impossible to hide a large group of demon beasts, but you must know that most of the demon beasts are not big in size.

If there were really a few mid-level or even high-level demon beasts hiding in them, then they could be called "winged and inescapable".

Wei Jiu continued to move forward, brushing aside the unknown long grass in front of him, which was sometimes tall and sometimes short, and stepped step by step into this realm that belonged to this land known as the first canyon of Canglan, Ye Ning was behind him, but he was nowhere to be seen.

It should be forced to "shuttle" in the grass.

The two of them just walked one after the other, and from time to time they heard the sound of "shuddering" around them, and walked forward.

"Goo~" Before he had walked a few miles, a strange sound suddenly broke the silence around him - a very abrupt break.

Wei Jiu followed the voice and looked back, his expression relaxed.

"So familiar?" Although he didn't remember where he had heard it for a while, it didn't prevent him from making judgments, and it didn't give him a sense of danger.

Ye Ning lowered her head and looked at Rat Xiaoqi curiously, she clearly heard that the source of the voice was in her arms, thinking that Rat Xiaoqi suddenly "spoke".

"That's right, it's what the rat master said-ventriloquism, I haven't heard of it, this bit of knowledge, sample~" seems to know what Ye Ning is thinking, and Rat Xiaoqi slanders in his heart.

Looking at the eyes and "little expression" of Rat Xiaoqi, Wei Jiu couldn't think of it, and just as he was feeling funny, he suddenly noticed that something hard was poking at his instep, like a branch, but it was moving.

Jumping half a foot, he retreated to the side with his back on his back, his five fingers were bent, and a touch of blue condensed rapidly in his palm, and the arc spread out of his fingers, jumping in between.

In an instant, Wei Jiu instinctively responded.

Just as he was about to bombard the thunderball to the place where he was standing, he was in mid-air, but he saw a milky white figure disappear into the grass, and disappeared in a flash.

Landing smoothly, the furious ability gradually became tame and abnormal, and gradually disappeared into the hole, returning to the silent dantian.

Wei Jiu walked forward, looking at the grass that had returned to normal, without a trace of abnormality, his brows furrowed slightly.

"White, with a large basin and many legs, resembling a spider - a white-bladed jade spider!"

"Brother Yang, what's wrong?" Ye Ning poked her head out with difficulty, although it was difficult for her to see the surrounding scene, but she could see Wei Jiu's figure jumping high.

The white-bladed jade spider, a second-level demon beast, and the natural enemy of the magic spade beetle, there are many existences in its group that have reached the fourth level, and it is a second-level demon beast with a decent talent.

"Nothing. Keep walking, you follow me, follow closely. Wei Jiu said casually.

Second-level demon beasts, he doesn't care about them yet.

There's no intention of arresting it, this thing looks like it's not going to eat. Moreover, the demon beasts below the fourth level do not have demon crystals, so they rely on some special body structures in exchange for some small money, and this "white-bladed jade spider" itself has nothing of value, even if there is, I am afraid that Wei Jiu will not be able to look at it, so why waste time on it.

As expected, Wei Jiu just continued to go deeper into the canyon.

After the previous incident, although the group was not shocked, they also raised their vigilance, and Wei Jiu instructed Rat Xiaoqi to be optimistic about the little girl in Yening.

This is the most valuable "thing" in the group, and I hope she can exchange it for some gold coins.
