Chapter 23 Crossing the River

A great river surging for thousands of kilometers broke through all barriers like a sharp sword and rolled away.

In the dense forest by the river, two ragged figures sprang out in turn, and as soon as the two came out of the dense forest, they rushed into the river and began to wash their bodies.

"It's been a month, I haven't taken a good shower for a month, but fortunately Yu Ni is not here. "This river, which looks quite close from a distance, took three days to get here. "Ah, it's so comfortable, I'm going to sleep in the water today, don't persuade me. "Grab a ring and fill it with water, I don't want to live a bathing day anymore." ”“......”

The chatter was naturally Huang Ling, and Yan Xiao, who had already put on dry clothes, also relaxed, lying on the big river stone and holding the gray light and the sun, while talking to Huang Ling.

The two of them had been walking through the Black Wood Forest for more than a month, Yan Xiao had killed hundreds of demonic beasts all the way, and even Huang Ling had shot more than a dozen second-order small beasts with an improved blue crystal crossbow. If it weren't for the fact that he was used to a cold life in the Shen Cauldron space, it is estimated that Yan Xiao would have to vent like Huang Ling.

"Young Master, where are we going next?"

After this period of sharing weal and woe, the relationship between the two has become closer, and Yan Xiao, who saved Huang Ling's life several times, has been called a 'young master', for which Huang Ling also said complacently, not only can he hide his identity but also be close to the voice of 'Xiao Yan', which is perfect.

Looking at the big river in front of him, Yan Xiao was also worried for a while, because not only did they not have a map, but they were also chased and lost by an unknown high-priced magical beast, and the two of them, who had no experience in surviving in the wild, were strung around like headless flies in the dense forest, but fortunately, they found this big river three days ago, and they relieved some of the resentment in their hearts a little.

"Big head, you just stay in the water, let's go down the river, and have a chance to cross the river again. ”

"Ah~ something bites me. Huang Ling in the water suddenly jumped high, and there was a two-foot-long big-headed fish connected to the buttocks, no matter how Huang Ling shook, the two rows of bright and dangling giant teeth on the head of the fish were like animal clips, clamping Huang Ling tightly, unwilling to let go of the meat that reached his mouth. After Huang Ling jumped ashore, several big fish also followed the chase all the way, bouncing high on the land and biting Huang Ling. Looking at Huang Ling's embarrassed appearance of screaming all the way, Yan Xiao also shook his head as a scoundrel, lifted the straight knife and brushed it with a few knives, and then separated the heads of these big-headed fish.

In the past month or so, Yan Xiao has become more and more fond of using gray light, and the pleasure of slashing with a straight knife has become a little unstoppable. A set of 'Haogui' knife duels, which was originally a big opening and closing, a frank and unrestrained knife technique, was murderous by Yan Xiao.

Huang Ling broke off the fish head on his buttocks, and looked at Yan Xiao, who was immersed in pleasure, and faintly felt that something was not right, but he couldn't say it. Along the way, they have encountered two waves of people, a wave of demon hunters, and a wave of soul eaters, but even when the soul eaters were fighting with a group of demonic beasts, Yan Xiao never raised a knife to kill, and they all chose to sneak through coldly.

"Young Master, don't you hate Soul Eaters anymore?"

"Hate. ”

"Then why didn't you stab those Soul Eaters in the ass?"

"Aren't you also a Soul Eater?"

"I'm different, I learned the Soul Devouring Dafa for research, and I cultivate on my own on weekdays. ”

"Alright, let's go, I'm fine. ”

Huang Linghu looked at Yan Xiao suspiciously, it really didn't look like he was a murderer, so he followed with his ass and his ass. The two of them had not gone far when they saw a small wooden house in front of them, and a fishing boat was tethered to it.

When he got closer, he found an old man wearing a hat squatting motionless in front of the wooden house, Yan Xiao raised his eyes to look around, and found that there was no village here, and there was no one else, only a lonely wooden house and a strange old man. The old man who lived alone in this wilderness was not a good person to meet, so he tightened the knife in his hand, and Yan Xiao asked stubbornly: "Uncle, may I ask which direction should Guanhai City go?"

The old man didn't raise his head, only stretched out a finger, and pointed at the small mound in front of him, Yan Xiao looked at it fixedly, and Huang Ling on the side also looked at it curiously, at this glance, the two seemed to have fallen into another time and space, and there was nothing else in their eyes except the small mound of dirt, and their bodies were like marionettes obediently came to the old man and squatted down, looking at the mound in front of him fixedly.

The mound is an ordinary mound, and the ant nest on the mound is also an ordinary ant nest, but there is a small piece of crystal clear fresh meat next to the ant nest, which seems to store a lot of energy, and there is a circle of ant corpses around the meat block, but the meat block seems to have some kind of magic power for these ants, and the ants still keep coming to eat the carnivorous pieces.

Soon after, there was a slightly larger ant, which did not die immediately after eating the carnivorous block, it resisted the toxicity of the meat block, and then its body became crystal clear, and the size was also extremely large, and grew a pair of long wings, with the appearance of this mutant ant, an energy shield suddenly appeared to encircle the entire ant nest, and the big ant with wings collided with the energy cover, and then climbed on it and stopped.

I don't know how much time has passed, the pieces of meat are getting smaller and smaller, and the number of large ants is getting bigger and bigger, some of them are flying around in the energy shield, and some are returning to the nest to lie dormant quietly. At this time, the scene in Yan Xiao's eyes changed again, the mound in front of him suddenly disappeared, leaving only a suspended ant nest in the energy cover, and the piece of fresh meat actually emitted a hot beam of light and shot straight into the ant nest, burning all the ants along the way to ashes.

Ants poured out from all directions, covering the perimeter of the nest, but as the beam scorched, the small nest became less and less inhabitable, and under the leadership of some flying ants, the ants began to contend with the intruder, and they lined up to attack the beam, and even a particularly large one really blocked the beam for a moment.

As more and more ants dedicated, the nest became empty, and the surviving ants seemed to have a living space again, hiding away from the beam, ready for a new life, but the beam was still heating the entire energy shield.

In the end, the light flame exploded instantly, everything in the entire energy shield was annihilated into nothingness, Yan Xiao's eyes also became pitch black, and an old voice sounded in his head, "Death from selfish desires, death from resistance, death at the end of the day, which of these three ways to die, which one do you choose?"

Isn't it, this strange old man with great powers, after a long time, just wants to let himself choose a way to die? Did this old man discover his identity as a demon, if those big ants represent demons...... Yan Xiao felt that if his answer made the old man unsatisfied, it was likely that he would really be like those ants, and there would be no tomorrow.

In fact, the outside world has not changed much, the three of them squatted around a mound, there was an ant nest on the mound, and the busy ants were crawling in and out, but there was no piece of fresh meat, and there was a floating Yiyi on top of the heads of the three people.

Yiyi frowned and tilted her little head, and looked at the old man seriously: "Yiyi has seen you?"

The old man didn't answer, but just reached out and pinched Yiyi's little face dotingly, Yiyi didn't hide, and the old man did pinch Yiyi in the form of energy. After pinching Yiyi's little face, the old man immediately laughed happily like a child, and took out a necklace and put it on Yiyi's neck, and said with a smile: "Hahahaha, it's okay, I'm just taking a look." ”

After the old man finished speaking, he disappeared, and the three of them had already come to the other side of the river, only Yan Xiao was still squatting and did not wake up.

"It's been a long time, is his question so difficult?" "Lord Yiyi, I don't see you for a month, you seem to be more beautiful. "Pretty Lord Yiyi, can you let Yu Ni come out for a while, I'll chat with her." "Yiyi-sama......."

Yiyi had no choice but to open the door of the space and send out Yu Ni, send Huang Ling aside, and continue to study the necklace around his neck, "This necklace tastes so comfortable, but why doesn't it have an energy reaction?"
