Volume 7 Chapter 70, The Flying Fireflies
As soon as the next day dawned, Chen Chen and the others set off, and in the early morning, a milky white mist rose over Fengxin Forest, adding a lot of mysterious colors to Fengxin Forest, and it became more and more dangerous.
Chen Chen could see that everyone was in a heavy mood, the wood ape still let him and his junior sister sit on his shoulders, he usually liked to make jokes about him and his junior sister, but today he was silent all the way, and the crystal beast burrowed into the woods in front of him from time to time to explore the situation, and every time he left for ten minutes, he would come back, and every time he came back, his junior sister would ask: "How is it, Xiaojing, did you find anything in front?" Fortunately, Xiaojing shook her head every time, and no situation is the best situation.
Chen Chen also had no intention of cultivating today. He had been carefully observing the ape's shoulders since he set off, and any disturbance would cause him to be particularly alert, sometimes he noticed that the branches of the trees two hundred meters in front of them were shaking, and he hurriedly pointed out to the ape, but when he arrived in the woods, he found nothing, sometimes he felt that something was approaching, and it turned out that it was just the return of the crystal beast from probing.
He found that there were few birds in this forest, and he had never sent anything that could fly, and he felt that this was also a big suspicion, so he asked the wooden ape, but was ridiculed by the wooden ape: "I said, you kid is too timid, there are no birds in the Fengxin Forest since ancient times, this is not a strange thing, the sky above the Fengxin Forest is also full of enchantments, and it is inconvenient for birds to fly on it." ”
Too timid?" Chen Chen smiled self-deprecatingly. Maybe he was really timid, he was shocked, he wanted to save his life too much, he didn't just live for himself, his life was still useful, he couldn't let his life be thrown in this damn forest.
Some of the records of the Dark Ages flashed through his mind: "The guardian died, the body of the god and thunder could not grow, it was killed by the evil forces, the whole world fell into darkness, the world became purgatory, and the living would rather die, but they did not even have the right to choose death." ”
He couldn't imagine that kind of life, Saruo's cultivation was much higher than him, maybe he could have grown up without him, but it was easy to dodge with open guns, and it was difficult to defend against hidden arrows, so Saruo would never have thought that it was Safang, his savior, who would kill him, so he had to bring this news to Saruo.
At that time, he really didn't know how Saro should face the news, he knew Safong's feelings for Safang, when Safang jumped off the cliff in order to save him, Saro went to the bottom of the cliff to find her, the bottom of the cliff was a big lake, Saro went to the bottom of the lake for three days to look for Safang's traces, and when he finally learned that he couldn't find her, he lay by the lake all day, he didn't shed tears, but everyone could see how sad his heart was.
It is destined to be a tragedy between them, Chen Chen sighed secretly, the news he wants to bring to Saro will definitely make Saro painful, but this is what Saro must face.
The body of the wood ape is taller than most of the trees in this forest, but sometimes they will encounter some trees that are taller than the wood ape, at this time, Chen Chen's body and face will often be swept by the branches, and it will be more painful to sit on the shoulder of the wood ape, so whenever they encounter such a place, they will jump down and walk on the ground.
The Wind New Forest was endless, the position of the central tower was always in front of them, and as they slowly approached, the tower kept getting bigger in front of them, it must be a behemoth, even from such a distance, you could feel its oppressive momentum.
They wanted to get closer quickly, but there were many big trees in the Fengxin Forest, even if it was a wood ape, the speed could not be very fast, and because of the mood, Chen Chen felt that the speed was slow.
At noon, they came across a crystal clear stream, and the younger sister was so happy that she washed it well.
Since coming to Fengxin Forest, they rarely encountered water sources, which was unbearable for the junior sister, so she resolutely asked everyone to turn their backs to the side, and she wanted to take a bath in it, but Chen Chen was worried about the safety of the junior sister and didn't dare to go too far, so he could hear the voice of the junior sister in the water, he knew when she took off her clothes and when she went into the water, which made Chen Chen think about it, he really wanted to turn his head and take a sneak look, but finally suppressed this impulse.
The crystal beast was unscrupulous, it first stayed with Chen Chen and them, and when the junior sister finished undressing, it swooped into the water, scaring the junior sister and screaming, and after a while, it and the junior sister frolicked in the water, making Chen Chen envious and jealous.
After the junior sister finished washing, he also washed it slightly, then sat back on the shoulder of the wooden ape with the junior sister, and set off again, maybe it was the stream that made the junior sister a little easier, her face was full of smiles, which often made Chen Chen look in a daze.
"Senior brother," Zhao Chen finally spoke to him again after a short time, "Do you remember that there is also such a stream at the gate of the Qinglong Sect?"
"Remember, that creek is called Liren Creek. "It was here that they parted from Saruo after participating in the Elixir Mountain competition that day, when the sunset was shining obliquely, the stream was sparkling, and everything that happened after that separation had changed.
"I really wish I could go back there for a walk," the senior sister's face was full of yearning, and her eyes seemed to look into the distance, "Our good friends can be happy." ”
Yes, when all this is over, Chen Chen thought to himself, when he completes his mission, and when Saruo completes his mission, I hope everyone will still be able to live well.
After going out for the third time in the afternoon to investigate the situation, the Crystal Beast brought back bad news. It circled on the ground, pointing in the direction it had been, although Chen Chen knew that what was waiting for them in front of him was not necessarily a good thing, he still went to the place that the crystal beast said with everyone, they drilled through a few particularly dense forests, and came to an open place, the scene in front of him made Chen Chen shudder.
This time it was not a wolf beast that died, but an animal that resembled a rhinoceros, but they were bigger and more peculiar than rhinoceros, the sharp horns on their noses and the skin on the sides of their noses flowed with a layer of colorful brilliance, their sharp horns were sharper than ordinary rhinoceros, Chen Chen realized that he had never seen this animal. The animals died in the same shape as the wolfbeasts they had seen before, and the trees that fell beside them were much thicker.
"It's a Promoted Rhinoceros Beast!" the wood ape said in surprise, "Even they're dead, what the hell is going on here?"
"What is a Promoted Rhino Beast?" Chen Chen couldn't help but ask, "How come I've never heard of this animal, and it's not even recorded in so many books I've read." ”
"That means you haven't read enough," the wood ape quipped. Even this advanced rhinoceros beast doesn't know, they are very ancient, it is estimated that only the Fengxin Forest has it, this fierce beast outside is estimated to have long been extinct, they are actually the ancestors of ordinary rhinoceros beasts, they are different from ordinary rhinoceros beasts, they can continue to advance and make themselves more and more powerful, like these advanced rhinoceros beasts in front of us, their horns have been cultivated with streamers, indicating that they already belong to the eighth-level fierce beasts, and they are already very powerful existences in this world, it is estimated that even human cultivators who have cultivated to the eighth level of Xuanwu are not its opponents!”
Although Chen Chen was shocked in his heart, he still didn't believe it. "You say they're so powerful, why are they extinct in the world outside of the Wind New Forest?"
"What's so strange about this, human beings are insatiable, the horns of the promoted rhinoceros beast are extremely precious, and the words used to forge weapons are much stronger than those forged by ordinary spirit stones, and the cultivation talent of human beings is much more powerful than these fierce beasts, they are targeted by humans, how can there be any possibility of survival, in other words, there are still few animals in this world that are targeted by humans and extinct, although there are promoted rhinoceros beasts in the Fengxin Forest that survive, but there are also very few, like here so many deaths at one time, it is estimated that there will never be a promoted rhinoceros beast in this world in the future!" Perhaps it is the same race that is about to become extinct in this world, and there is a lot of emotion in the words of the wood ape. "But then again, who am I to laugh at humans, we Timberapes are not extinct because of our greed......"
At this time, the crystal beast began to jump up and down on the junior sister's shoulder, pointing at these advanced rhinoceros beasts and squeaking. "You mean to tell us to take off some of the horns of the Promoted Rhino Beast?" Senior Sister understood what the Crystal Beast meant, and looked at Chen Chen, "This is not very good!"
After listening to the wooden ape's words just now, Chen Chen also felt that it was inappropriate, but the wooden ape said: "The crystal beast is right, these advanced rhinoceros beasts are dead, and if their horns are not removed, it will be a waste of things, two little dolls, you should quickly get them all down, and then we will leave quickly, this is not a place to stay for a long time, I always feel that there is some danger." ”
When he started to get them, Chen Chen knew how hard they were, and he used all his strength to avoid forcing one down, while the junior sister couldn't break it at all, and when it was almost dark, Chen Chen only got half of the rhinoceros horns, looking at the nearly a dozen rhinoceros horns on the ground, Chen Chen felt that it was enough, so he decided to leave here with everyone. It's already dark, hurry out of this place of right and wrong.
Chen Chen sat on the shoulders of the wood apes and played with these rhinoceros horns, and found that they were indeed very valuable, emitting a faint layer of fluorescence from the inside out, their bones were crystal clear, and the surface layer seemed to be transparent, and he could feel that they exuded a very strong spiritual power in his hand.
Chen Chen was thinking in his heart what he could do with these horns, he must help his junior sister build a powerful weapon, he thought to himself. They had no intention of resting that night. They all felt that the farther away from the dead beasts was better. When they walked at night, most of them didn't speak, and the crystal beast no longer went out to investigate, but rested on the shoulders of the junior sister, there was no sound in the forest, and there were no other animals, only the two of them, a fierce beast, the only surviving wood ape who did not belong to humans, sometimes Chen Chen felt very lonely in such a night.
"Senior brother, look!" In the middle of the night, the junior sister suddenly screamed, at this time Chen Chen was drowsy, but suddenly woke up, he thought that the junior sister had encountered some danger, first panicked, and then became surprised, because he found that in the sky above the forest a hundred steps ahead, more than twenty fist-sized points of light rose in the air, illuminating the sky. "What are those?" shouted the younger sister, "It looks so pretty!"
