Chapter 371: A Place to Stay
The wind and snow were too big, and he couldn't stay here for a long time, Xu Ning borrowed a sharp blade from the black wolf Xiaotian, cut off the human skin, and then beckoned the other Nine Domains Gui Hao and the others to leave with the two demon beasts that had died.
When they arrived at the original camp, Gui Hao and the others of the Nine Domains first buried the bodies of the two companions, and then surrounded them again.
All the people lost their appetite and their hearts were very heavy, they didn't expect such a thing to happen in the Five Prisons Mountain just now.
Although these demon beasts are not afraid of life and death, they are very in awe of life, and they can endure for decades in a place like Wuhell Mountain where birds don't, just don't want to cause innocent casualties. It's a pity that the world doesn't know about this painstaking effort
How could it be good to have two brothers die just one day after they came out?
Xu Ning took out the piece of human skin that had been cut off from the man in black, approached the bonfire and looked at it carefully, only to find that there was some deviation from what he had just seen.
The tattoo had a total of seven stars, like the seven stars of the Big Dipper on the horizon, and the hexagonal crystal I had seen was like a crescent moon after changing the angle.
"Seven stars holding the moon?" Xu Ning frowned, but he still couldn't guess what it meant, just ask the soul continent today, is there still such a mysterious organization as zĂ i? What exactly does this tattoo mean?
What is certain is that in the family that Xu Ning knows, there is definitely no family crest with this mark, if it is not a brand new organization, then it must be too deeply hidden, and no one has found it for so many years.
"Pounce!" After a toss, the human skin burst into flames in the campfire. It was gone, and there was a smell of burnt hair all around.
"Brothers, don't be too sad, life and death are fateful, everyone can rest assured when they reach the Qilin Mountain Range." Xu Ning stood up and said loudly, not only to comfort the demon beasts, but also to comfort himself.
No matter when, the Xu family is his last harbor and the strongest camp.
Xu Ning let out a long sigh, and white smoke flew out of his mouth. The wind tightened all around.
"If you can put the Xu family in order. Maybe we can restore the glory of the past! â
This is the first snow of winter, I don't know when it will stop, in order to cover up the footprints, Xu Ning didn't dare to let the demon beast brothers delay too long. After a little rest. Before dawn, he braved the wind and snow and walked towards the Qilin Mountains in the distance. They must bypass the northeast of Breeze City. It is the dawn and the coldest time to be able to enter, and this time is the dawn. There's no need to worry about anyone finding out.
Leaving the bonfire, Xu Ning felt a hint of coldness, and the demon beasts had already shown some of the attributes of the beast race, and most of their bodies were covered with cold-resistant hair. After an hour of advancement, when the dawn broke in the east and the wind and snow weakened, we finally entered the Qilin Mountain Range!
The majestic unicorn, thousands of miles of ice, what a solemn scene!
In addition to the thick snow in the mountains, there are evergreen plants in all seasons, and the hot springs that do not freeze at a glance exude the warmth of spring, and the smell of fresh snow in the air makes you feel refreshed!
"Door master, this is the mountain of your family?" The black wolf demon beast Xiaotian asked in surprise.
"That's right, it is the Xu family's Qilin Mountain Range, and it is also the place where Dongzhou produces the most spar beast pills, you boys will hide here in the future, it is best not to be discovered by the people of the Xu family, otherwise you will be hunted even if you have a human form!" Ha ha! Xu Ning said with a smile.
"The environment here is good, and the products are abundant, even if you hide for a year or two, it's no problem!" Nine Domains Gui Hao laughed.
"I remember that there is a big cave in the hinterland of the mountain range, and there are some large demon beasts entrenched in it all the year round, and it seems that they are going to be troubled to move!" Xu Ning sighed and said.
"Don't, stay as a ration!" Xiao Tian said excitedly.
Although they both belong to demon beasts, Gui Hao and the others in the Nine Domains have already separated from the "beasts", and they are not the same species as the demon beasts in the Qilin Mountain Range at all. Hunting and killing the kind of demon beast in Qilin Mountain does not belong to the same kind of slaughter.
To put it simply, an ape-man can also be called a man, but it is not a man, and for a human, it can only be regarded as a beast.
Xu Ning simply called these two different demon beasts the beast demon beast and the human demon beast.
Although they can all evolve, they are not the same in nature.
No matter how the beast clan demon beast evolves, it will eventually be in the form of a beast, and even if it reaches my king realm or emperor realm, its IQ will not improve much, let alone form a divine consciousness. At best, they are very powerful.
The biggest difference between the human race and the demon beasts is that they themselves have human characteristics, and at the same time, some of the things that are more than normal humans are the attributes of demon beasts, such as the black wolf roaring sky, when he is a little demon beast, he may be the same as a "wolf child", and in the end, even if his cultivation is not very strong, he can still evolve into a human form.
And demon beasts above the eighth rank can completely speak human language, and their appearance is no different from that of humans.
In fact, in the entire Soul Continent, there are very few people who distinguish between this.
The sky was slightly bright, and more than 3,000 demon beasts came to the entrance of a huge cave in the hinterland of the Qilin Mountain Range under the leadership of Xu Ning.
From the entrance of the cave, a warm air flow was constantly blowing, mixed with the breath of demon beasts, and there were not a thousand or eight hundred demon beasts gathered here, but they were not some large demon beasts.
Large monsters will find a place, dig a deep cave by themselves, and then enter a state of hibernation before the winter snow comes, and those hidden in this cave do not need to hibernat, and their bodies are generally smaller, and they will go out to forage for food when the weather is clear.
They don't need to go out again this time, though, because they're going to be someone else's food soon.
"Lion King, what do you think of here? Three thousand brothers live here, and I'm afraid it's a little crowded, but only for the time being. Xu Ning said a little apologetically.
"Haha, that's already pretty good! The place is spacious enough to sleep outside! â
"yes, I'll just have a place to stay." Xiaotian was very excited.
"That being the case. Let's settle down here, after dawn, I will go back to Xu's house first, pay attention to the surrounding guards, and don't let anyone know about your savings until things are clear. â
"Don't worry!"
The secluded life was accustomed to these demon beasts, and after a while, they settled down, and Xu Ning felt that there was no major matter to deal with by himself, so he rushed over the mountain to Xu's house.
Although he didn't leave for a long time, Xu Ning was full of emotion, and he didn't know when he fell in love with his family.
"Xu family, I'm back!"
Shake your arms. The figure crossed the back mountain. Fell into the ancestral hall of the Xu family!
The news of Xu Ning's return immediately reached Xu Aotian's ears, and in the past few days, the family was preparing all the things for the winter, as well as the payment of the imperial taxes, and they were very busy inside and out. Even Tianyang has never been around. The old man felt lonely.
"Grandpa. Ning'er is back! Xu Ning went back and immediately went to greet his grandfather.
"Haha, okay, Ning'er, you're finally back! How's the Rashomon affair going? â
Xu Ning sighed lightly. Shake your head.
"What's the matter, it's not going well?"
"Grandpa, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and Rashomon is no exception! And it looks like I'm in trouble. â
"Hmph, what are you afraid of, I don't believe that someone rushed to Qingfeng City to embarrass my grandson!" Xu Aotian shook his beard and said.
"I'm scared, I just hate trouble. By the way, grandpa, have a couple of uncles returned? Xu Ning sat down and asked.
"These days will be coming one after another, probably with the income vehicle, walking slowly along the way!"
"It's about the same every year, and in addition to the Xu family, I'm afraid it's the same for several other families. In this stall, you still have to be careful. Xu Ning reminded.
"It's okay, if they can't even do this little thing, they are not worthy of being my Xu Aotian's son!"
Xu Ning smiled slightly, his grandfather's temper was really tough and strong, but it was superfluous to think about it, all the way was official, I am afraid that no one would dare to have a bad idea about the Xu family's vehicle.
A year's income will be converted into spars and shipped back, and if it is gold coins, it will be too much to calculate at all. The spar is a common currency in the entire Soul Continent, and when the year-end settlement is made, my grandfather will also reward him for his merits according to the results of several uncles' operations.
After chatting for a while, Xu Ning was always thinking about being ambushed by the demon beast last night, and he was a little absent-minded. And Xu Aotian thought he was too tired, so he urged him to take a rest first.
After Xu Ning said goodbye, he returned to his room, lying on the desk in boredom, and used a pen to draw the pattern in his impression. This pattern was really a bit strange, and the unfamiliar power appeared around Qingfeng City, which had to arouse his vigilance.
Seven stars hold the moon, seven stars hold the moon?
Xu Ning looked at it repeatedly, and unconsciously began to enter meditation, opened a passage in the sea of consciousness, and entered the otherworldly space in an instant.
"Master, how come you have time to come here!"
Biochemical appeared in front of Xu Ning with a smile on his face, and his expression looked a little obscene.
"You're pretty comfortable, stay here and do nothing, be careful I throw you out!" Xu Ning was taken aback by him and said angrily.
"Don't! Master, when I leave the otherworldly space, I will immediately disappear! Besides, you don't want to lose your strength, master. â
"Don't blackmail me with this, it's the same with you or not, hum!" Xu Ning sat cross-legged on the stone bench, distraught.
"Master, if you have any troubles, why don't you tell me, maybe I can help you?" Biochemical came over, and the white beard shook and shook.
"What do you know if you're here all day?"
"Hehe, then you're wrong! The condensation technique you are cultivating is not simply a fragment of a scroll, every word has a deep meaning, and it is a treasure trove of martial arts cultivation when expanded, and the bookshelves around this are certainly not decorations. â
With a finger of his hand, the bookshelves surrounded by a circle were boundless, Xu Ning had seen it the last time he fought with the Black Shadow Man in the otherworldly space, and he thought it was just for decoration. Unexpectedly, the above books really have content.
"You mean, there's something in there that I don't know?"
"There is nothing in this world that cannot be known, the key is to move at every turn. Those books are all martial arts knowledge stored in the subconscious, you can't understand it, but I can understand it! â
"Alright, no nonsense, help me look at this thing!"
Xu Ning said, handing over the "Seven Stars Holding the Moon" mark drawn in his hand. (To be continued......)
