Chapter Twenty-Three: The Dark Night Forest

Yue Qingya's face also changed, looking at the different kinds of demonic beasts around her, her heart instantly fell to the bottom.

"How can this be, shouldn't different demonic beasts be active in their respective territories?How can they appear here at the same time!" Duguyu's scalp was numb in an instant, he could still deal with one or two demonic beasts, but with such a large number, he was completely uncertain about leaving, not to mention that there was still a month of Qingya by his side at this time.

"Yue Qingya, you better smash the number plate and teleport out, there are so many demonic beasts, I am not sure to protect you. Dugu Yu said solemnly.

"This, okay!" Yue Qingya also knew that this was not the time to be reckless, so she took out her number plate and glanced at Dugu Yu and said, "Take care! After speaking, without waiting for Duguyu to answer, he smashed the number plate.

"Huh!" Yue Qingya closed her eyes and waited for a while, and when she opened it again, she was still in the secret realm of the dark night.

"Oh no! there's really a problem with the number plate transmission!" Yue Qingya looked at Duguyu's back and exclaimed urgently.

Hearing Yue Qingya's voice, Dugu Yu had a bad premonition in his heart.

"It seems that we have all been calculated, and the other party obviously has no intention of letting us out alive!" Dugu Yu's eyes were cold, and he was afraid that he would only fight to the death for the sake of today.

"You follow me in a while, and I'll take you out. Duguyu said sideways to Yue Qingya.

"Hmm!"

"Kill!" With a loud shout, Dugu Yu instantly drew his sword and slashed at the rat-shaped demonic beast in front of him.

"Squeak!"

The rat-type demonic beast didn't dodge either, and bit Duguyu's iron sword.

With a "bell", there were two more indentations the size of rice grains on the sword.

"What a powerful tooth!" Dugu Yu was shocked.

Looking at Yue Qingya again, she was beaten back again and again by two big snakes with the thickness of the bowl.

Just when Dugu Yu was distracted, another black shadow flashed.

I only heard a "click", and the short sword in Yue Qingya's hand was bitten into two sections.

"Ahh

Yue Qingya was startled and hurriedly retreated to Duguyu's side.

Glancing at the short sword in Yue Qingya's hand, Dugu Yu gasped.

"The short sword at the peak of the Xuan Rank was actually bitten off, what kind of magical beasts are these mice?"

Yue Qingya held the broken sword in her hand and looked at Dugu Yu with palpitations

Dugu Yu didn't dare to keep it at this time, the sword intent was directly poured into the sword body, and with a sword slash, a rat demon beast was chopped to the ground, churning and unable to get up.

"With the blessing of sword intent, it can't even split its body!" Dugu Yu didn't have time to be surprised, and hurriedly cast a swinging sword style, forcing several demonic beasts around him to retreat.

"These demonic beasts are too strong!" Dugu Yu didn't dare to be careless, a trace of sword yuan flowed into the sword body, and with the sword intent, he slashed forward with a sword, and at the same time pulled Yue Qingya to break forward.

A rat demonic beast that besieged it was split in half, and the surrounding demonic beasts took a step back in fear. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Dugu Yu and the others rushed out in an instant, constantly fleeing forward.

"Roar!" came a burst of beast roars, and the enraged beast quickly chased after the two.

Dugu Yu ran the Wind Shadow Step to the extreme, and his speed increased by five times in an instant, and he disappeared in place in a blink of an eye.

"Let's go, leave me alone!" Yue Qingya wanted to break free of Duguyu's hand, but her wrist seemed to be pinched by iron tongs and she couldn't break free.

"Don't talk nonsense! Follow me!" Dugu Yu continued to run forward without looking back.

A quarter of an hour later, Dugu Yu stopped with a solemn expression.

"What, what's wrong?" Yue Qingya was a little puzzled.

"It's too late, a large number of demonic beasts have appeared in front of you, and they may have been attracted by the sound of our fighting. ”

After Dugu Yu finished speaking, his body was really angry, obviously ready to fight hard.

"Do you have any other weapons on you, this broken sword can't protect your life? ”

"No, my grandfather said that relying too much on external forces would cause his foundation to be unstable, so he only let me take this one. Yue Qingya said with a wry smile.

"You should still have some life-saving hole cards, let's use them quickly, or we'll both die." Dugu Yu looked at Yue Qingya, obviously a little unbelieving that this kind of person from a big family only has one blade.

"I still have a few treasures, but the main role is defense, and in terms of attack, it is not as good as your full attack. Yue Qingya said helplessly.

"Okay, you can protect yourself later. After Dugu Yu finished speaking, he directly killed the beast group that had just arrived.

Yue Qingya wanted to throw away the broken sword in her hand, but it was better than nothing, so she followed with the broken sword.

At this time, her strength was completely useless, but she was unwilling to stay under Duguyu's protection.

Looking at Dugu Yu again, after entering the beast group, the sword drawing technique unfolded, and he killed two demonic beasts in an instant.

"Sword swinging pose. ”

The sword light flashed rapidly, and in a single breath, more than a dozen demonic beasts were slashed through their throats and collapsed to the ground. Yue Qingya took the sword in her hand and slashed these fallen demonic beasts one by one.

As time passed, the cooperation between the two became more and more tacit.

It wasn't until about a hundred of them were killed that the gathered demonic beasts were finally frightened and scattered one after another.

"Finally gone!" Yue Qingya sat down on the ground, she was exhausted at this time, although those demonic beasts were seriously injured, it was not easy to break through their defenses.

"It's not time to rest yet, we must get out of the Night Forest as soon as possible. ”

Dugu Yu remembered the demon beasts that besieged him just now, although they were thrown away by the two of them, but at this time, there was such a big movement here, and they were afraid that they would soon chase after him.

"Bang Bang Bang"

There was a burst of applause, and the two of them hurriedly went on guard.

"Who?" Dugu Yu said as he looked at the direction where the applause came from.

"Hehe, what a good opponent!" As soon as the words fell, I saw a man in a black robe walk out.

Dugu Yu looked at this person and couldn't feel any breath on him.

"You're a demon?"

"Demons, like that's what you Tianyuan call us. ”

The demon raised his head slightly, revealing a handsome, pale face.

Dugu Yu looked him up and down and found that this demon was no different from a human except that his pupils were vertical.

The demon took a deep breath and said with some intoxication, "I seem to smell the blood of sin, but there are some other smells mixed in with it. ”

The demon looked at Dugu Yu and suddenly smiled, "Introduce yourself, my name is Demon Pupil, and the gold-devouring rat you just killed is my pet." ”

Dugu Yu remembered the rat-type demonic beast that he had killed when he was besieged earlier, "Is it called the Golden Devouring Rat? No wonder it can bite off the sword at the peak of the Xuan Rank." ”

"There are no monsters in the Night Forest that can kill it, but it is dead. After the demon pupil finished speaking, there was a rustling around him, and after a while, Dugu Yu and the others were surrounded again.

"I'm not going to bully you with more, but to prevent you from escaping, I'll let my pet stop you. The magic pupil spread his hands and said lightly to Duguyu.

"What do you want?" Duguyu responded not to be outdone.

"A game of cat and mouse has to be fun with mice. That's it, I won't kill you, as long as you take me and don't die, I'll let you go, how about it?" Demon Pupil said confidently, obviously he regarded Dugu Yu and Yue Qingya as mice, and he was the cat who controlled the overall situation.

After the demon pupil finished speaking, without waiting for Dugu Yu to answer, his figure appeared in front of Dugu Yu in a flash, and slapped his palm on Dugu Yu's chest.

"Poof"

Dugu Yu spurted out a mouthful of blood and flew out directly, until he broke two big trees surrounded by four people.

"You, you're a sneak attack!" Yue Qingya looked at the demon pupil dissatisfiedly and said, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Dugu Yu up.

Duguyu's shock at this time was indescribable. You must know that his physical strength is close to the peak blade of the Xuan Rank, but he was broken by this demon pupil with one palm, and the speed of the demon pupil is extremely fast, and before he could react, the other party's palm was imprinted on his body.

"Alright, I'll be the talker, and I'm sure we'll meet again soon. The Demon Pupil turned around and slowly disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.

Dugu Yu stood up and glanced at the direction where the demon pupil disappeared with a solemn expression, and he didn't quite understand what he said at the end.

Dugu Yu took out a hemostatic pill, swallowed it, and began to heal his wounds.

Two weeks later, the medicinal effect of the Hemostatic Pill matched the seventy-seven eighty-eight of the colored true qi Duguyu's injuries that had recovered.

"Let's go. Dugu Yu inserted the sword into the scabbard, and continued to walk towards Dark Night City with Yue Qingya.

"This Dark Night Forest is really rich, and in just this day, dozens of Xuan-rank medicinal herbs have been collected. Seven of them can improve the sword body, and now if the sword body wants to be small, it also needs gentian grass, yin mist flower, and purple blood vine, although these are precious, but they are also common. I just don't know if there are ground-level herbs or heaven-level herbs here. Dugu Yu thought while looking around.

"Look there. Yue Qingya reminded by pointing in one direction.

"Huh?" Dugu Yu looked in the direction and saw two red fruits growing on a vigorous small tree.

"It's actually Zhu Guo!"

Really thinking about something, Dugu Yu was just thinking about whether he could find the ground-level herbs, and at this time he had already appeared in front of him.

"Wait a minute, this kind of heavenly treasure generally has a guardian beast, let's see. After Duguyu finished speaking, he kept observing the surroundings.

"Strange, did you go out foraging? After speaking, Dugu Yu's figure flashed, and after picking off the two Zhu Guo, he quickly spread his body and ran away.

Returning to his previous hideout, Dugu Yu still did not see the alien beast guarding him.

"Well, it seems that it is really not there. After speaking, he handed a vermilion fruit to Yue Qingya.

"Here's to you. ”

"Give it to me?" Yue Qingya said in surprise, and then shook her hand again and again, "This is not good, this thing is too precious, I deserve it, and it has always been you who have contributed to it, I can't ask for it." ”

"If you give it to you, you will take it, after eating one of these Zhu Guo, the effect of the second one is not obvious, and it is really a waste for me to eat two alone. After Dugu Yu finished speaking, he directly stuffed Zhu Guo into Yue Qingya's hands.

"You take it directly, I will protect the Fa for you, the stronger your strength, the greater the help to me in this dark night forest. After speaking, Duguyu stayed aside.

"Hmm. Yue Qingya was not hypocritical, and swallowed Zhu Guo in one gulp.

This zhu fruit melted in his mouth, and a trace of sweetness flowed through the tip of his tongue, and then an astonishing aura erupted from Yue Qingya's body.

After a while, Yue Qingya stood up.

"Breakthrough?" Duguyu asked.

"Well, Zhu Guo's energy is too strong, I only absorbed a tenth of it and broke through, and the rest of the energy was temporarily sealed by me, and I can digest it slowly when I have time. Yue Qingya said with a smile.

Dugu Yu felt it carefully, and Yue Qingya's momentum at this time was more than ten percent stronger than before.
