Juling Peak, back mountain.

After last night's pranayama, his body and mind have obviously recovered a lot of energy, and the meridians that were originally shaken are already intact.

Yesterday, she took four medicinal baths of ambergris, and she really benefited a lot, the meridians of her whole body were expanded a lot, and no matter how much vitality passed, there was no sense of blockage, and now he only needed to vigorously improve the vitality in the dantian in his body, and the martial vein cultivation could rise to a higher realm.

It was a long process to improve the cultivation of the martial vein, and although he was eager in his heart, he was also well aware of this truth.

His urgency was only because he had stayed in the Marshal Realm for too long and too long, and the unfathomable martial arts that erupted from Xu Ning's body from time to time also invisibly added a lot of pressure to him.

In the main hall, there was a lot of silence except for the occasional birdsong from outside.

After being disturbed by Xu Ning's arrival, he decided to take a break and continue to work hard, and suddenly remembered something, and his face changed slightly.

The demon made a mistake, so he went outside and walked along the path on the other side.

The road winds and turns, sometimes between the long grass, sometimes through the dimly lit caves, until it reaches a large dilapidated house, and Chen Jin stops.

Most of the house had already collapsed, and at the four corners of the house stood four black stone pillars.

Chen Jin hesitated for a moment, seemingly undecided, but finally stepped in. The inside of the house was dim, dusty, and the walls were mottled and crumbling.

Through the light pouring in through the broken hole in the roof, a coffin could be seen in the corner of the wall where the light could not be seen.

Chen Jin walked towards the coffin, wiping away the thick dust covering it with his hands, revealing a dull red metal, unknown from what material it was made of, and even more strange was that there were some runes engraved on it.

Obviously, he wanted to open the coffin, but he didn't know if he couldn't make up his mind or didn't have enough courage, so he stood by the coffin for a long time and didn't dare to do it.

The mountain breeze is constantly blowing in, and the already cold house is even more gloomy.

Sweat continued to drip down his forehead, Chen Jin plucked up his courage again, his eyes closed and his palm was imprinted on the runes, and a strange sound of "click" echoed inside, adding a bit of horror to the house.

The coffin was opened.

It took a long time for him to dare to open his eyes.

In the coffin, a charred corpse was scattered inside, but at first glance this corpse looked like a human, but if you looked closely, it was actually very different, except for the skull, the bones of the torso were obviously thicker than humans. From the mutilated and charred bones, it is also clear that he must have been burned by fire during his lifetime.

Lying along with this strange skeleton was a black scepter, no more than half a meter long, with a round ball at the top, like a human head and the head of some kind of monster, which must have been burned with the dead master.

At this time, Chen Jin's expression returned to normal, and he went down and held the strange scepter tightly in his hand, and raised it in front of him.

He chanted some strange incantations towards the scepter in his hand, and in a few moments, the ball of the black scepter began to slowly glow faintly.

Chen Jin continued to chant the mantra, his face was solemn, and the sweat on his forehead was also dripping.

The white light emitted by the sphere became more and more intense, illuminating the surrounding radius of several meters, but this white light was not dazzling, Chen Jin's pupils turned into white strangely, and his entire eyes turned into a bleak white light, which formed a strong contrast with his gradually darkening face.

Slowly, his hands began to tremble, and his whole body trembled when he reached the back.

The originally delicate and handsome face was terrifyingly distorted, and the cyan veins protruded from his forehead like earthworms, and his expression was as hideous as a devouring demon......

With a "bang", the black scepter fell from his hand and fell to the ground, and the light gradually dimmed and extinguished.

He let out a low howl, and the whole person fell to his knees, his hair scattered disheveled, and he clutched his heart and kept gasping**.

He squatted for a long time, and finally stretched out his still trembling arm, picked up the scepter and carefully put it back into the coffin, and the lid of the coffin made another noise and quietly closed.

With his feet dragging his tired and thin body, he slowly walked out of the dark and dilapidated room, and Chen Jin returned to the outside, with an expression on his face as if he had just had a nightmare, and he didn't seem to have fully woken up from the dream.

The harsh sunlight outside kept his eyes open for a long time.

He sighed inexplicably: "Sooner or later, my soul will be consumed by this scepter. ”

These words are like the whispers of the mountain wind.

……

When the sunset burns out, the wild land will fall into a night's dream again.

When Xu Ning and Yan Bing set off from Juling Peak, the scorching sun was still in the sky, and they had traveled more than 500 miles to say the least. The scenery along the way has not changed, except for the mountain stream is the forest, fortunately, this road Yan Bing is already very familiar, and he has not encountered any powerful demon beasts along the way, which can be regarded as extremely smooth.

Yan Bing changed back into her shorts and shorts made of beast fur, and changed back to the original long-haired savage girl, with a horned bow and quiver on her back, revealing her ability and agility everywhere.

Xu Ning found that although Yan Bing had not received the martial arts cultivation in the Central Plains Continent, the martial arts revealed from her were not weak, and she also had her own uniqueness, and there was a powerful energy in her body that was like that of a black tiger.

Whether it is climbing mountains and wading in the water, she is as light and agile as a civet cat, and he is also secretly surprised, sure enough, on this soul continent, all kinds of martial arts skills are as wonderful as the stars.

"Brother Xu Ning." A voice like a yellow warbler coming out of the valley sounded in the forest.

Xu Ning knew that Yan Bing was shouting about herself, at first, her mouth was closed and she was Xu Ning's brother's affectionate name, he was still a little unaccustomed to it, and gradually he accepted it completely, and after listening to it for a long time, it was still very useful, right?

Xu Ning stopped her figure and looked back, but saw that she was already panting, drenched in sweat, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and her fair and flawless skin revealed a faint red powder.

Some couldn't bear to be concerned: "I forgot to wait for you with the method of getting up, seeing that you are already very tired, it is better to find a place to rest near here." ”

Yan Bing stuck out his tongue and grimaced at Xu Ning, and said with a smile: "I can't see that Brother Xu Ning, you are also a person who pities fragrant and cherishes jade." ”

She turned around with her bright eyes, pointed to a boulder not far from the valley, and said, "We spent the night on that big rock tonight." ”

She didn't care whether Xu Ning agreed or not, she jumped and jumped and ran forward. Xu Ning had to follow, and when he arrived, he saw that this place was really comfortable, and the top of the big stone was flat and spacious, like a rooftop.

He put down the package full of dry food and the two hares he had caught in front of him, and lay down, and the slate did not feel hot at all, but very cold.

Yan Bing also took off the bow and arrow on his body and put it aside, and sat down to rest for a while. He stood up again and said with a smile: "While it is not completely dark now, I will go to the neighborhood to find some wild fruits to eat." ”

Xu Ning just opened her eyes and looked at the sky without saying anything, and she still went.

He calculated in his mind that if he continued to travel in the dark tonight, he would be able to arrive at noon tomorrow. It's just that in this way, Yan Bing naturally has a lot less rest time, and I'm afraid that she will be tired when she arrives in the underground ancient city, not to mention that this road is rugged and difficult, and many times there are unfathomable deep ravines under her feet, although she also has the ability to see things at night, but if she doesn't support her feet, it will be very dangerous.

simply let her rest well, and wait for the morning tomorrow to get up and hurry, and there will be no delay.

Xu Ning made up his mind, and the person relaxed, stood up again, and began to practice the Mixed Yuan Vajra Talisman Technique.

His current martial arts cultivation has reached the second layer of the Marshal Realm, and the Mixed Yuan King Kong Talisman has also been greatly improved, although it is still in the realm of silver all over his body, but the effect of the body protection is very different.

The cool breeze is blowing, and the birds are chirping. Unconsciously, the Vajra Talisman Technique and the Thousand-Faced Heavenly Demon Technique had already been cultivated, and the moon had secretly climbed out of the mountain peak in front of him, and the valley illuminated was empty.

Xu Ning waited for a while, and gradually began to lose his seat.

"This dead girl, just picking a few wild fruits, why haven't you come back after going for a long time?" He scolded secretly, and he was clearly a little anxious.

Waiting always makes time pass very slowly, and I hear the constant roars of demon beasts and fierce beasts in the forest, and my heart is very uneasy. I thought that although her martial arts cultivation was not weak, if she really encountered any ferocious high-grade demon beasts, it would be quite dangerous.

Xu Ning sat patiently on the stone and waited for a while, and accidentally saw that Yan Bing's bow and arrow weapons were still on the stone slab, so he became even more anxious, turned over and jumped down, and began to look for her.

He walked slowly in the moonlit silhouette of the woods, listening intently to the sounds around him, but there was silence except for the chirping of insects and frogs. And the roars of the beasts that rang out from time to time were still far away.

"She couldn't have traveled far alone just to pick a few wild fruits." Xu Ning muttered, "Where will you go?" ”

Looking left and right, he found that outside the forest not far away, there was a silver-white light shaking, he walked through this grove, and when he got closer, it turned out to be a small stream, and the moonlight shone on the water, and it really swayed like mercury.

So I searched along the stream, and after rounding the grove, there was a large patch of grass that was taller than a man's head. He was about to return along the road when he heard the sound of rushing water in his ears, and he jumped over the long grass and saw a figure in the stream.

A delicate figure leaned over and stood in the water, the soft and clear moonlight shone on the water droplets on her delicate shoulders, and a layer of crystal white luster was smeared, and the shallow stream water did not reach her knees, caressing her Shengxue skin......

Isn't this Yan Bing......

Xu Ning only felt suffocated in his chest, his heart began to beat wildly, and he hurriedly turned his back, forgetting to hide in the grass, and just stood with his back like a statue.

Yan Bing was still at a loss, so he just buried his head in cleaning his long hair like a waterfall, until he raised his head and saw a familiar figure standing on the shore in the distance.

"Brother Xu Ning......"

This delicate brother was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, no, like lightning hitting Xu Ning's body at night.

He instinctively blushed and said incoherently, "You, you...... Hurry up and put your clothes on, and come back with me. ”

Yan Bing came to his senses at this time, and his face was pale, and he hurriedly ran to the shore and quickly got dressed.

After putting on her clothes, she was dazed again, and stopped on the shore for a long time before gritting her silver teeth and walking towards Xu Ning
