The brook flowed through the valley, and the moonlight engraved a jewel on the water. It let out a shy moan, and the sound of gurgling water drifted between the grass and the woods.

There was mist in Xu Ning's eyes, watching Yan Bing slowly step into the water, her smooth shoulders and back were spotless, and the night covered her with a thin white light veil.

He walked over and into the water. When I sat down, I could feel the softness of the sand underneath.

When Yan Bing wrapped around him like a water snake, Xu Ning was already completely intoxicated.

The night fog surrounds them......

When the first rays of sunlight shone into the valley in the morning, Xu Ning woke up leisurely, this night, he slept too deeply, and it was the first time that he did not enter another space.

He wanted to get up and found that his waist was tightly hugged by two slender and white arms like tender lotus roots, Yan Bing raised his head and looked at it with affection.

It turned out that she had already woken up.

"Why didn't you wake me up sooner?" Xu Ning said softly, stroking her long hair as smooth as a waterfall with his hand.

"I'd like to stay in your arms a little longer." Yan Bing's eyes inadvertently flashed with a hint of melancholy.

Xu Ning sat up and said, "Let's leave now, we can reach the Ancestral Peak before sunset." He pulled Yan Bing up, and the two of them hastily ate something and left the valley.

The next journey was much easier and more comfortable, the two talked and laughed all the way, but they didn't have to rush too much, and there was plenty of time.

At noon, they took a short rest in a forest, and Juling Peak was not far away, that is, within a hundred miles.

Xu Ning sat on the fallen leaves, thinking about whether to go back to Fengyun Hall first to see if Senior Brother Chen Jin was out of the customs, and later dispelled this idea, and decided that it would be better to accompany Yan Bing home first. There are still a few days left before the next trip to inspect the Demon Wind Mountain Range, and there is not much point in going back, but it will delay Yan Bing's big event, after all, the colorful fairy orchid seeds in her bag can be sent back as soon as possible.

Yan Bing didn't know when he had come back from the forest, holding a huge fruit in his arms, and walked over with a smile.

"What kind of fruit is this?" Xu Ning had never seen such a big fruit, and holding this big guy in his hand, he felt that it was a little weighty, at least a dozen catties.

Yan Bing took out the short blade tied to his leg and cut through the thick yellow skin, revealing the milky white flesh inside, which looked very delicious. She dug out a small piece of curd-like flesh and stuffed it into Xu Ning's mouth, asking, "Is it delicious?" ”

Xu Ning only felt that the aroma was sweet and smooth in the mouth, and it seemed that the whole person was cool, and praised: "The taste is really good, but I don't know what kind of fruit this is, it melts in your mouth." ”

Yan Bing cut off another piece and put it in his mouth, and told him: "This is the fruit of the Ice Spirit Tree, this kind of fruit tree is relatively rare, and the fruit is on the top of the tree, so those who don't know much about this forest can't eat it." ”

The Ice Spirit Fruit looks very large, but after removing the epidermis, there is not much meat, and it will be eaten in a while. The two of them sat down under the tree and rested quietly for a while.

The sun shines through the treetops, and the grass is colorful.

"Bing'er." Xu Ning suddenly said, "Someone is coming!" ”

Yan Bing opened his eyes, looked around blankly, and didn't see any figures appearing, he was curious, and sure enough, a chaotic sound of footsteps gradually walked in the direction where he was, it should not be far away.

She felt strange in her heart, and said: "The hinterland of this forest is vast, and there are few people, so it is difficult to see other people in normal times, and I have heard a lot of footsteps. ”

Xu Ning stood up, and it didn't take long for several figures to walk in one after another, and there were more and more people coming behind, no less than forty or fifty.

Those people were also stunned when they saw the two people under the tree, and they all stopped.

Xu Ning saw that there was not much difference between these people's dresses and Yan Bing's, they were all wrapped in animal skins, but they were not as delicate as Yan Bing's clothes, and there were men and women of all ages.

They all looked weak, and their eyes were very panicked, looking at the ragged appearance of the dusty servants, it was clear that they were a group of fleeing people.

Xu Ning didn't know how to deal with it, seeing that these people had no malice at all, and they were extremely wary of themselves, he couldn't help but be surprised.

It wasn't until Yan Bing walked out from behind him that these people breathed a sigh of relief, and an old man in front of him spoke: "We were originally a tribe of the Red Mountain, and we were chased and killed by the wicked and fled here, if there is any disturbance to the two of you, please forgive me." ”

Yan Bing hurriedly stepped forward and waved his hand: "Don't be afraid, old man, I see that you are also extremely tired from running all the way, you can rest here for a while, I still have some dry food here." ”

Xu Ning hurriedly opened the package and handed the remaining pieces of crepes to the old man.

The old man thanked him, led the people to sit down on the grass, and distributed all the food to the young children.

Xu Ning saw that some of them still had wounds, and he thought that these people must have experienced a fight, and some of the wounds were still very strict, but he didn't know how to heal and save people at all, and he didn't have any healing soul talismans on his body.

Yan Bing took out the cloth bag from his arms, grabbed a handful of colorful fairy orchid flower seeds, and asked these wounded people to bite it and spit it out and apply it to the wound, and sure enough, the inflamed and festering wound began to heal after a while.

It's just that there is too little food, and he doesn't know where these people are going, Xu Ning can't help but feel a little sympathy for them.

Yan Bing asked the old man just now: "Old man, who is chasing you?" ”

The old man looked at Xu Ning and was silent for a while. Xu Ning was puzzled, why did these people always stare at him like this, everyone had never met.

Yan Bing was smart and she was smart, and she understood it when she arrived, and comforted: "Don't be afraid, old man, this eldest brother is mine...... My man. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, her cheeks flew suddenly.

Xu Ning was also startled by these words, but he couldn't help but feel a little more relieved in his heart.

Only then did the old man make up his mind and said, "The people of the Barbarian King City sneaked into our stockade a few days ago and forced us to hand over the map of the underground ancient city, but we have never been to that place, so how do we know what the map is. ”

Xu Ning's heart froze, and when she met Yan Bing's eyes, she was also frightened.

A figure immediately appeared in his mind, and he vaguely felt that this matter must have something to do with him.

Yan Bing asked quietly, "Do you recognize those people?" ”

The old man nodded for a while and shook his head for a while: "I often go in and out of the city to trade with people in the Central Plains, exchanging animal skins and herbs for their goods, so I recognize those people as the attire of the palace." It's just that I don't know if they were instructed by the lord of the city. ”

Yan Bing pointed at Xu Ning again and asked, "I see that you are quite jealous and alert to my husband, are you a little similar to the person in the lead, generally tall and handsome." ”

The old man nodded: "Well, it's a bit like." It's just that the young man was wearing a fancy costume and was a little fatter. We are now frightened birds, plants and trees, and we are very scared when we see this kind of dress, and I ask for your understanding. ”

Xu Ning said: "The old man is frightened, and the younger generation can be completely considerate. But I wonder if the one who took the lead is called Wu Tu? ”

The old man shook his head, but he didn't know.

Yan Bing said to Xu Ning, "Fool." It must be him, yesterday in the restaurant, I was afraid that you would say that you missed your mouth and deliberately diverted the topic, that is, I knew that this person had been coveting the treasures of the underground ancient city. ”

Xu Ning's eyebrows were tightly locked, how could this witch map become interested in the underground ancient city, and how could he make the killer anxious to get the map, could it be that there were other treasures hidden in this underground ancient city?

Yan Bing seemed to know the Wu family very well, Xu Ning thought to himself, when he arrived at Xianmin Peak, he must ask clearly.

When he was thinking about things in a daze, Yan Bing walked up to him and said, "I think these people have nowhere to go, it's really pitiful." Why don't you let them go to the Ancestral Peak with us? ”

Xu Ning felt funny when she heard it, why should she ask for my opinion on this kind of thing, and she couldn't help but feel proud again: "This girl really regards me as her pillar." ”

So he nodded in agreement, and pretended to say loudly: "This is a good idea of yours, let them go with us." ”

These fleeing Hongshan people were overjoyed when they heard this, and hurriedly thanked them. So a group of people followed Xu Ning and Yan Bing to continue walking, and the time for this nursery to take the mouth naturally took even more.

When the moon rose, he had only walked dozens of miles, and Xu Ning found that it was not necessary to go to the Ancestral Peak to go through Juling Peak, and the road directly to Guò could reach the blood pool.

Although the moonlight was bright, the old and weak women and children were really not suitable for traveling at night, so dozens of people had to find a clearing in the forest to spend the night. Yan Bing was busy, checking on the wounded and helping to take care of the baby.

Xu Ning watched stupidly from the side, he had no experience in this kind of thing at all, and he didn't know what to do. I secretly admired Yan Bing, who usually looks innocent and laughing, but at critical moments, she is always as mature and stable as a big woman, and she is kind-hearted.

Looking at Yan Bing, who was busy under the firelight, he was fascinated again, and just sat on the ground stupidly and smiled secretly.

Yan Bing suddenly walked over, squatted in front of him, and spread his hands.

Xu Ning was puzzled, not knowing what she meant by this gesture.

"Such a large group of people have been hungry for a long time." Yan Bing frowned, squeezed Xu Ning's ears lightly with his fingers, "You can find a way for me!" ”

Xu Ning reacted at this time, quickly got up, and walked towards the outside of the forest, and several strong middle-aged men from the Hongshan clan also followed with bows and arrows.

They hadn't gone far before they found that Xu Ning's figure had disappeared into the dense forest under the moonlight, and they didn't know which direction it was going.

Just as they were about to find a place to hunt, they heard a thunderous roar from the side, and these people were taken aback, hearing the scream of this demon beast fierce and violent, it must be extremely ferocious. Worried that if something serious happened to the young man, it would be difficult to explain to the girl when he went back, so several people hurried over.

They were sturdy men who had grown up in the jungle, and they ran as fast as the wind, and in a short time they were through the woods and came to the river.

The riverbank outside the forest was illuminated by the moonlight as daylight, and sure enough, I saw Xu Ning find a demon beast that was sucking water by the river, and a man and a beast were facing each other in the distance.

"It's a red-haired tiger!" Someone spoke in the darkness.

This is a big tiger with red hair all over its body, at least 1,800 catties, the muscles that bulge high all over the body are extremely strong, and the low roar that comes out of the throat is very terrifying. The strange thing was that it was just bluffing and didn't dare to take the initiative to attack, it turned out that it had been shocked by the powerful aura emanating from Xu Ning's body.

Several people approached silently, and when they reached the range of the attack, they raised their longbows and suddenly fired cold arrows at the red-haired tiger.

The arrow was directly inserted into the red-haired tiger's body, and the big tiger was in pain, let out a roar, and smashed towards Xu Ning in front of him like a red mountain of meat.

Several people were shocked, raised their spears one after another, jumped out, and ran towards the red-haired tiger.

Before they arrived, they saw that Xu Ning was still standing still, only striking his right fist in the air, which hit the tiger on the head, and with a "bang", the big red guy flew out.

Several people rushed over to see that the tiger had died of anger, and the entire tiger head burst open.
