Chapter 3: The Little Old Man

The cold wind of the early morning mixed with water vapor made people feel the cold through the bones, and even Yun Na, who was born to control water, now felt the cold and curled up together in her sleep. Not far away, Xue Yueji, who closed his eyes and recuperated, suddenly opened his eyes, and a faint murderous aura slowly seeped out from his body, and it didn't take long for the murderous aura to envelop the entire camp. Xue Yueji snorted coldly, and gathered back the murderous aura that seeped out, and casually pulled up a piece of immature grass from his side, and the side dishes fluttered weakly in the wind, as if telling everyone "I am a harmless baby". As soon as Xue Yueji raised his hand, the grass that was still fluttering in the wind with a harmless appearance of humans and animals turned into a green light and shadow and came out, and the grass accurately hit the blade of a young man's two-handed giant sword after crossing more than ten meters. After a soft "ding" sound, the grass returned to its weak appearance and fell to the ground lightly, without any damage, but the two-handed giant sword made of fine iron shattered into iron filings like a piece of glass.

Xue Yueji stood up, straightened up the already tattered armor, carefully picked up Yun Na and stepped onto the back of the white tiger, who walked slowly towards the east with a steady pace. Several mercenary teenagers stood up violently, picked up their weapons, and prepared to catch up, but Morson, who had been lying down without moving, suddenly stood up and stopped them. Mowson said with a gloomy face:

"Sober me up! You are not the Sky Knight or Dragon Knight who saved the princess in the story! He is not the demon who kidnapped the princess! If it weren't for the fact that you were not worthy of his help, you would be dead by now! He didn't kill us, and he was already blessed by your father's spirit in the sky! Although he has no weapons now, but with that Light Pattern Saint White Tiger, ordinary Holy Rank masters can't do anything to him, what can you do with him? Don't forget! You are mercenaries now! As a mercenary, you have to do your job! Give up. He's not up to you. If you want to deal with a mercenary group that doesn't have B-level strength, don't even think about it. ”

After staying away from the camp of the Free Mercenary Group, Yun Na secretly opened her eyes, and Xue Yueji said without looking:

"Sleep in peace. I know better than you how tired it is to pretend to sleep all night. I've seen the maps of the mercenaries, and it will take at least two days to get to the next city at our current speed, so you'd better rest before then. ”

Yun Na sat up with a white snow moon mark, and said to herself angrily:

"Those mercenaries are really, they were kind enough to save them, they actually stared at them murderously all night, and the people who harmed them didn't even sleep well. If I had known, I wouldn't have saved them! Let the wolves eat them!"

Xue Yueji smiled indifferently and said:

"They're not looking at you, they're looking at me. Being in the red dust for 3,000 zhang, cultivating the Tao and cultivating the mind. If you feel uneasy even with this unfriendly gaze, it can only be said that your mental cultivation is far from enough. Before breaking through the innate realm, you'd better hone your mind. If the mind is unstable, it communicates with heaven and earth, but it is easy for external demons to enter the body and go mad. With your current mental nature, even if you improve synchronously with the improvement of your cultivation, it will be difficult to naturally comprehend and form a Great Dao Jindan. ”

Yun Na turned around, the short sword in her hand was on Xue Yueji's neck, and said with a gloomy face:

"Why do you say that about me? Aren't you yourself unable to break through the innate realm? If you say that, be careful that I will kill you with one sword!"

Xue Yueji glanced down at the short sword around his neck and said:

"Letter. As long as your hand moves now, my head will hit the ground. I still have a good understanding of the sharpness of this sword. ”

Seeing Xue Yueji's lazy look, Yun Na lost interest in playing, and after glancing at Xue Yueji, she twisted her face away with a dissatisfied face, and muttered in a low voice:

"Big liar of wood. Knowing that I would have no way to communicate with others here without you, let alone survive, I actually said that I believed that I would kill you. Bastards, liars, bastards, liars......"

Every time Yun Na scolded, she would pluck a tiger hair from the white tiger, and every time she plucked the white tiger, she would roar in dissatisfaction. Finally, when Yun Na plucked the fifteenth tiger hair, the white tiger could no longer bear it, turned around and yelled at Yun Na on his back, expressing its anger and dissatisfaction. Yun Na violently plucked a handful of tiger hairs like a white tiger, and it was still on the ground like a white tiger. The white tiger turned his head and glared at Yun Na, and Yun Na also glared at the white tiger without showing weakness, although the white tiger's footsteps did not stop, but Xue Yueji already knew that the direction of the white tiger's travel had changed, and they began to circle around the four-kilometer range.

Finally, when they passed by the place where Yun Na and the White Tiger had first confronted each other for the sixth time, a somewhat shrill old voice broke the deadlock between them:

"I said this is the sixth time you've passed through here, can't you just go around in circles in another place?"

Yun Na and White Tiger turned their heads in the direction of the voice at the same time, glaring at the owner of the voice. The owner of the voice was a little thin old man, in his sixties, no more than one meter six tall, dressed in gorgeous costumes covered with mud and oil stains, and some unknown colorful liquids that I don't know where I got them. His gray hair was as fluffy as a chicken's nest, mixed with a lot of grass and dirt. The most amazing thing is that this little old man is actually carrying a two-handed giant sword made of stainless steel that is one meter and nine meters long.

The little old man saw that Yun Na and the White Tiger had focused their attention on his body, his expression froze suddenly, his eyes secretly looked at Yun Na for a while, and then secretly looked at the White Tiger. After a few minutes, the old man grimaced and turned and ran southeast. The short sword in Yun Na's hand pointed at the little old man who was running away and said loudly:

"White Tiger! Don't let him run away!"

The white tiger roared and was about to chase after it, but the cold voice of Snow Moon Scar came into the ears of it and Yun Na:

"White Tiger, stop. ”

White Tiger and Yun Na both turned their heads and looked at Xue Yueji suspiciously, and Xueyueji said coldly:

"White Tiger, did you sense his presence before he came out on his own?"

White Tiger shook his head after thinking for a long time, and Yun Na asked puzzledly:

"What's wrong with the White Tiger not finding out about him?"

Xue Yueji slowly closed her eyes and said slowly:

"If Bai Hu didn't change the situation around him because he was fighting with you, it would be reasonable to say that he didn't notice him. If the White Tiger can still take care of the changes in the surrounding environment while focusing on your confrontation, then we won't be able to go around in circles here. But after passing through the same place six times and still not finding him, it is not normal. To be able to accurately say that we have passed through this for the sixth time means that he has been with us for a long time, but during this time, not only the White Tiger, but I also did not feel his presence at all. From his behavior, I can be sure that he has not yet broken through the Jindan realm, but his realm is much higher than that of the White Tiger, so much so that he can avoid the detection of me and the White Tiger, which means that he should be a master in the Innate Great Perfection realm. If he had taken our lives, you would all be dead by now except me. And I was just able to barely escape by relying on the zombie's strong vitality and wind. ”

Yun Na saw smoke and dust rolling in the distance behind her, and asked Xue Yueji curiously:

"Wood, what is that? It seems to be looking in this direction!"

Snow Moon Scar said lightly:

"It's just a bunch of small trash fish that don't go into the stream. Even if it did, it wouldn't be a big problem. ”

Not long after, a group of knights in bright armor caught up from behind, and after seeing the Snow Moon Marks, a knight in his twenties urged his mount to chase after them, pointed the light horse gun in his hand at the Snow Moon Marks, and asked arrogantly:

"Hey, the white-haired kid! you just saw one."

Hearing the knight's question, Yun Na, who had been playing with the white tiger's fur with her head down, raised her head and glanced at the knight, then lowered her head and continued to weave Chinese knots with the white tiger's fur. The knight instantly petrified when he saw Yun Na, it was a very humiliating thing to lose in front of a woman as a knight, and she was also a very beautiful young woman. The knight calmed down for a moment, like Yun Na, bowed slightly and said:

"Hello beautiful young lady. I'm Jason Varner, a knight of the Lord's Guard of Sisnath City, may I ask you what you just saw?"

Yun Na's little face sank and said to the white tiger:

"Big cat, get rid of this annoying guy! I can't even make up a knot here!"

The white tiger glanced back at Yun Na dissatisfied, turned his head and roared at the knight, the knight's horse was frightened by the white tiger's roar and fell to the ground, and the knight suddenly fell off the horse because of the incident. Immediately after that, a large group of knights also caught up, and the middle-aged knight who led the team saw the light cavalry armor on Xue Yueji's body and the white tiger under the seat, and his face changed, and he immediately bowed to Xueyueji and asked respectfully:

"Did you just see an old man with a giant sword passing by here?"

Xue Yueji casually pointed to the direction where the little old man disappeared and patted the white tiger, who shook his head and continued to walk towards the east. The surrounding knights were very angry at the rudeness of Snow Moon Scar, and a few of them had even picked up their light horse guns and were ready to attack Snow Moon Scar. The middle-aged knight who led the team pulled the reins and turned the horse's head in the direction of Xue Yueji's finger, and ordered solemnly:

"Attention all personnel, continue the search to the southeast. ”

After the team of knights left, Xue Yueji said coldly:

"It's time to come out. They've come a long way and shouldn't be able to see you. ”

As soon as Xue Yueji's words fell, the little old man just now crawled out of a tall grass not far away, stood on tiptoe and looked at the team of distant knights, made a triumphant gesture, turned his head and asked Xue Yueji:

"How did you get to me? Did you find out I was there?"

Xue Yueji didn't answer him, but Yun Na and White Tiger were already staring at the little old man who had interrupted them just now. But this time, instead of looking at that threatening eye, they looked at the little old man who was defined as dangerous by the Snow Moon Scar with a suspicious eye. The little old man asked a little timidly:

"Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something wrong with me?"

Snow Moon Scar said casually:

"It's useless for you to tell them that one of them doesn't understand, the other can't speak, and can't answer you. I just told them that you're very strong, and they have some doubts. ”

The little old man nodded half-incomprehensibly, turned his head and asked Xue Yueji:

"You don't seem to have reached the Holy Throne yet, how did you find me?"

Snow Moon Scar casually shot out a wind blade and said:

"I can control the wind, even if your realm is much higher than mine, as long as I see you once, I can easily find you next time. You've been following us for a long time. Can you tell me what your purpose is?"

The little old man looked at Xue Yueji as if he had discovered a new continent and said excitedly:

"You even guessed this! When I came out to play the forest that day I passed by the forest you came from, I suddenly felt the space around me shake unnaturally violently, I thought that someone was there to test some new spatial magic, so I wanted to go in and take a look. As a result, I got lost after going in, and after walking for most of the day, I found that you and the big cat had a fight, and by the time I arrived, you had already finished fighting. I've been with you ever since. Where are you from? I've never been exposed to your language, are you having fun there, can you show me there?"

Xue Yueji's face was blue, this little old man had a bonus with him for a month, and the customer didn't even notice it. Fortunately, the other party has no hostility towards him, otherwise it is estimated that they would have died more than half a month ago. Xue Yueji turned over and jumped off the back of the white tiger and said:

"I don't know how to go back, and if I had, I would have gone back by now. The strength of the predecessors should be able to be named here. Have you ever heard of anyone whose strength can pass through the spatial barrier?"

The little old man recalled seriously for a long time, and suddenly said to Xue Yueji:

"Your barbecue is very good. If you could give me a barbecue to eat, I might be able to think of someone who could cross the spatial barrier. ”

Xue Yueji snorted coldly, jumped lightly, rode on the back of the white tiger, and said coldly:

"White Tiger, keep going, leave him alone. ”

The white tiger continued to move towards the east with brisk steps, and had just made contact with this little old man, and found that this seemingly lazy little old man was indeed much stronger than it, and it was not easy for it to join forces with Xue Yueji to win him. In the face of such a highly dangerous character, even the naturally arrogant White Tiger was unwilling to take a minute more by his side. After all, although it can be preliminarily judged that this little old man is not hostile to them, God knows if this kind of master will suddenly turn his face and deny people because of something.

The little old man chased after him in a few steps, and shouted to Xue Yueji as he ran:

"I really know! And I know where the man lives! I'll pay for all the expenses until I find him!

Xue Yueji said coldly:

"I'll find people myself, since you know, there must be others who know, anyway, I have a lot of time, there is no need to make any deals with you in order to find someone. As for what expenses and other things you mentioned, although I don't have any money now, it doesn't mean that I won't earn it myself. You'd better go on your own, the knights are already turning around three miles from here, and you'd better go if you don't want to be discovered by them. ”

The old man didn't notice that he was hit by a stone under his feet and almost fell. When he regained his balance, the little old man grabbed the big fluffy tail of the white tiger, and shouted as he ran:

"It's okay, it's okay, they can't tell me what they want to do when they find me......, you should be going to the city of Wales in front!

Yun Na poked her head out and looked at the little old man who was running behind her with the tail of the white tiger, and looked up and asked Xue Yueji:

"Wood, what is he doing? It's easy to get hurt like this!"

Xue Yueji said without looking at it:

"It's nothing, the branch country is just exercising. When you get older, you can easily die if you don't move. ”

Yun Na didn't say anything with a white snow moon mark, and continued to weave her Chinese knot.
