According to the original plan, Dong Tianying planned to rest near the outermost mountain wall before it was completely dark. The wall of the mountain stretched along the undulations of the mountains, and a deep ravine was cut off at a very close point from the edge.

Walking along the mountain wall, it was a convenient path deep into the mountains. Whether it is an experienced disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, or a cultivator from a side sect who has come here to hunt demon beasts, they will generally choose to walk into the range of the mountain wall first, and then go all the way along the mountain wall, which is better than splitting trees in the dense jungle to open the way.

Nuomi followed the team all the way forward, and when she saw Dong Tianying occasionally opening her mouth next to her to correct the direction of the team, she couldn't help but be a little dazed, pulled Dong Tianying's sleeve, and asked in a low voice, "Is there a road here?" Why don't you build the road? ”

"It's not easy to build roads in this mountain range. What's more, even if it can be repaired, no one will repair it. Dong Tianying glanced down at Nuomi, and saw that Nuomi's eyes were still blank, so he sighed in his heart, feeling that this little junior brother was too simple, "Every route is explored by cultivators with their lives." Where there is good fairy grass and where there are demon beasts, it is not a single road that can be connected to the end. Demon beasts will walk around, and fairy grass will grow in different places. ”

"Ah, what about this......" After listening to Dong Tianying's explanation, Nuomi showed a suddenly realized expression, and lowered her head a little shyly.

It's the first time she's been here to experience this outside, and she's been wandering before, and where has she ever been in such a vast mountain forest, so she naturally doesn't understand this place very much.

According to Dong Tianying's estimate, they should be able to reach the mountain wall before the sky completely darkens. I don't know if it was because he was too optimistic in his calculations, or if the team had gone in the wrong direction during the march, until the light in the mountain forest was so dark that they couldn't see the road, and they were still stuck in a dense forest, and they couldn't see the imaginary mountain wall at all.

"I said I should camp in that place and rest until daylight. It's good now, I'm completely trapped in this forest, and I don't know if it's safe here. Zhao Ming was at the front of the team, muttering all the way.

When Fang Cai passed by an open meadow, Zhao Ming had already mentioned that he wanted to rest first. Dong Tianying insisted that he could enter the range of the mountain wall before the light completely disappeared. After entering the mountain wall, the surrounding trees will no longer be as lush as in the forest, and even at night, a place to rest can be placed against the stars and moon.

It's a pity that they didn't get out of the house. Now they landed in the dense forest, looking up at the overlapping canopy, and the moonlight and starlight could not be sprinkled in front of them, and the team was instantly plunged into darkness.

Wei Shilei once wanted to take out a illuminated spiritual weapon, but was stopped by Dong Tianying. In this dense mountain forest, there are not only a few of them who have been cultivated. What's more, it's the landlords here, those hungry monsters. When they discover a cultivator, they don't do anything more than greet them properly. The light burned in the mountains and forests, and more of it attracted to him like a demon beast.

"What can we do, now that we can't see anything, and we can't light lamps, torches and spiritual weapons, then we should rest here in the dark? Who knows if there will be a snake demon hiding in this bush? Looking around to the south, I couldn't help but mutter, except for the occasional glimmer of starlight in the distance through the gaps in the canopy, and I couldn't help but see anything hopeful.

This is not so much a reproach as a fear.

The team they formed didn't have the strength to be strong in the end, and they could barely deal with it when they encountered a demon beast on the first or second floor of the opening period during the day. Now that they're in the dark, if there are any more monsters, they're afraid they won't be able to leave.

"This place is not bad either." Dong Tianying, as the captain, could only stand up and speak at this time, "I have seen it before, the terrain here is quite flat, and there are big trees around, which is just right." The open terrain is too strange, very much like a place for monster hunting. It's a place that looks safer. ”

“…… Are you saying I just chose the wrong place? I don't see you picking a good one. I'm just talking about this now, huh. Zhao Ming complained quietly, but he didn't expect his voice to be louder than he thought in this darkness. The voice suddenly sounded, startling everyone around.

"It's no use complaining now. Let's tidy up this place first and clean up a place. Wei Shilei calmly helped Dong Tianying speak.

Wei Shilei is a disciple from Huangshi Peak, before he came out to experience this time, Dong Tianying had already told him to collect more formation runes and formation flags, he probably knew that Dong Tianying had already planned for such a thing from the beginning, so he was also the calmest one in the team. It took him a lot of effort to borrow a simple set of array flags from his senior brother.

But even if there is a formation flag now, it is not a simple matter to set up a large array. After all, it's almost impossible to see the surroundings now.

A set of array flags borrowed by Wei Shilei is divided into three flags, and after the three flags are respectively erected in the three directions of Zi, Si, and Hai, a low-level barrier array can be formed. People are in the middle of the formation, and light yì will not be discovered.

Now that there is not even a little light in the sky, it is really not easy to distinguish the position.

"Or ...... Let's light a fire first, right? Hurry up and plant the array flag, and there should be no problem. "Mention yì to the south.

There's no way around it. Although it is possible to attract demon beasts, it is also particularly dangerous to spend the night in the mountains and forests without planting a formation flag. Dong Tianying thought about it for a while, and was about to nod, but he heard someone next to him "Huh".

"What's over there?"

Li Shan had not participated in the discussion, but now he suddenly spoke, and several people looked up, looked around blankly, and were instantly stunned.

I saw the position in front of them, and I don't know when a thin ball of light rose. The light was not very dazzling, white, with a hint of red, gathered in mid-air, and from a distance, it seemed like the light emitted by some insect, fluttering forward.

If you want to say that there are so many spirit insects that can shine at night. But what appeared in front of them now seemed to be different from the spirit worm. It looked more like the light of the soul element, a very cold light.

"What's the matter, is there someone around here who has been disarmed?"

"If it's the soul element of the military liberation, this is too weak. I can't feel any aura fluctuations at all. ”

"Could it be that there is a monk who has been ...... by demon beasts around here?"

"If you really encounter a demon beast, can you still have a soul element to escape?"

"Soul Yuan?" Glutinous rice stared blankly at the flickering light, and couldn't help but take a step towards that side, but was quickly pulled by Sun Min's eyes.

"Don't go over, I don't know what's over there." Sun Min pulled the glutinous rice back.

Glutinous rice was still staring blankly in the direction over there.

She always felt as if something was calling to her.

The introduction of Soul Yuan, she had also seen it on the jade slip. As long as a monk has stepped into the path of cultivation, there will be a soul element stored in the body, and after the physical body dies, the soul element will remain for a short period of time. If, in this short period of time, the soul element finds something to cling to, it can continue to exist. Otherwise, with the passage of time, the soul element will gradually die.

The soul element is different from the inner babies cultivated by those old monsters in the infancy stage, there is no ability to protect themselves, and after floating into the air, unless it is attached to the spirit jade by chance, slowly absorbing the essence of heaven and earth and cultivating again, it is almost impossible to survive anymore. If you want to give up, it's even more ridiculous. Before the soul element regained its cultivation and became stronger, it hardly had any thoughts, but instinctively wanted to survive.

This soul element, like the one they saw now, was so weak that it completely lost consciousness and thought, and was just drifting unintentionally. Nuomi felt that the soul element seemed to be calling her. Not with sound, not with consciousness...... It was a very indescribable feeling.

"But...... Soul Yuan ......" Nuomi struggled to leave under Sun Min's hands.

Sun Min showed a surprised expression, "Do you want to take that soul element?" But you don't refine the weapon, and if you take the soul element, it's useless to go back. Your current cultivation can't digest that kind of soul element. ”

"I—I'm not trying to refine it, it's so pitiful......" Glutinous rice anxiously defended.

The soul element floats between heaven and earth on its own, and in addition to being very easy to dissipate, there is another danger - the soul element can be refined into a machine spirit. A magic weapon with a machine spirit is three points more powerful than ordinary magic weapons of the same level. This is one of the best ways to use the soul element. If you don't refine the soul element into a machine spirit, you can also devour the soul element and absorb the aura during the period. It's just that ordinary decent monks don't know much about absorbing the method, and it's far less beneficial than the evil cultivators and demon beasts can get.

Nuomi didn't think about devouring the soul element, let alone refining the spirit of the weapon, but felt that the soul element had an inexplicable intimacy with herself. As soon as Sun Min said it, there were tears in his eyes.

"I can't go there, I don't know what's over there. What if it's a monster. Sun Min pressed Nuomi's shoulder, and there was no intention of relaxing at all.

Dong Tianying listened to Sun Min's words, and only then came back to his senses, nodded as well, and said, "That's right, there won't be a soul element here for no reason, there must be some danger." Let's stop worrying about that soul element. To the south, you light a fire, I, Wei Shilei and Li Shan take the array flag, and do our best to set up the big array. ”

"But...... But ......" Glutinous rice bit her lip and wanted to speak.

Unfortunately, there was no one in the team to listen to her. With Dong Tianying's arrangement, everyone moved along. (To be continued.)
