Volume 5 Chapter 48, The Night Remnant (1)
When the feeling of weakness was completely drained from Chen Chen's body, Chen Chen felt like he was in a dream. Before, this feeling was like a maggot in his body, and the spiritual power in the inner layer of Fengxin Forest was scarce, no matter how much he cultivated, he couldn't drive this feeling out of his body, but he didn't expect that now because he took a leaf of three-leaf black grass, and then moved for an afternoon, this feeling flowed out of his body, it can be imagined, how precious the leaves of the three-leaf black grass are, and in the future, there is no need to worry about no source of spiritual power when cultivating in this inner layer, Chen Chen thought happily, and at the same time, he thought that if Sa Ruo was here, he handed over these leaves to him to refine into pills, and the effect would be more than doubled。 Because Saruo has that strange six crystals that can refine pills. Under his urging, the crystal could be turned into an octagonal copper tripod more than one person high, which was really incredible.
"Brother Chen Chen, your complexion looks much better" The afternoon journey had already made the junior sister forget the initial unhappiness, and now she was following the senior brother again, no longer rushing ahead of him, the crystal beast with snow-white fluff was sitting on her shoulder. From time to time, he pointed forward, or a pair of eyes looked vigilantly to the left and right. It seems to be on the alert for some danger.
"It's the reason for that clover black grass," Chen Chen told her, glancing at the Crystal Beast suspiciously. "Now my injuries have basically recovered."
"Really?" Senior Sister's voice was full of surprise, "The spiritual power here is thin, and relying on the recovery ability of the spiritual power itself, I am still worried that it will take a long time for the injuries on your body to heal." Your kind of martial arts hurt your body too much, senior brother, you should not use it in the future, the last time you first came here, the meridians and bones on your body were damaged in several places, and the injuries were still not visible on the surface, if I didn't check it carefully, I wouldn't have found it at all. ”
Chen Chen could imagine how anxious and worried his junior sister was at that time, but this strengthened his decision to send his junior sister back to the sect in the future. "It's okay now, I can rely on the clover black grass cultivation to recover my cultivation tonight. ”
"That clover black grass is really amazing, it can make your body recover so quickly, if Xiaojing hadn't burned them, then we can collect more, and it will be of great use to us then." The crystal beast waved its claws on the shoulders of the junior sister, hissing, and tickled the junior sister, and the junior sister giggled. "Okay, Xiaojing, I understand what you mean, you burned those vines to save us, you are our savior, don't make any more trouble. ”
By this time the sun had sunk below the horizon directly in front of them, leaving three fiery red sunsets across the sky, like three burning flames, and the long gap between the long boulders where they were was was turned into a thin black line that stretched to the west because of the shadows. After they had walked for so long, the long boulder still looked endless, it passed through the forest dyed pink by the setting sun, and then passed through the faint mountains in front of it, and disappeared into the depths of the mountains, it seemed that someone had built a stone path here, the scenery here looked strange in the sunset, but no matter how beautiful it was, it was not as beautiful as the beauty of the junior sister. The junior sister laughed with two dimples on her face, her hair was scattered on her head, and the silk clothes on her left shoulder were torn, revealing the pink skin inside, at this time, this skin was painted with a faint red by the sunset, just like the smile on her face, which made Chen Chen stunned, if it wasn't for the cold attitude he showed to her before, if he hadn't decided to break off the relationship with his junior sister, he must have kissed him.
He didn't kiss him, but the little beast Jingjing Beast took advantage of the junior sister's inattention, and kissed her on the face, Zhao Chen patted the Jingjing Beast lightly, and said coquettishly: "It's bad again, Xiaojing, why has this stone road been walked for so long and not finished, where is your friend, you asked us to save him, but we haven't seen him yet, will he be in danger?" Senior Sister's question seemed to make the Crystal Beast worried.
It scratched its head with its claws, then jumped off the ground, pointed forward, and then ran forward before Chen Chen could react, the speed of the crystal beast was very fast, like a snow-white ball rolling straight forward, Chen Chen and his junior sister had no choice but to run up behind it, Chen Chen's injuries had just recovered, at this time he was only a heavy cultivator, it was almost impossible to catch up with the crystal beast with this little cultivation, but he still ran crazy with his junior sister, if Saruo was here, he would definitely be able to catch up with the crystal beast with his speed, but it was almost impossible with his and his junior sister's body, the junior sister was slightly faster than her, but, she is always on par with herself now, and she does not surpass herself, thinking that it is to take care of his face, she shouts while running: "Xiaojing, Xiaojing, you slow down."
Maybe it was because they heard the shouts of their junior sister, although the speed of the crystal beast was fast, but it had always remained within their line of sight, they kept this distance and ran for almost an hour, the afterglow of the sun had completely disappeared into the sky, and the light began to dim, but the crystal beast had no sign of stopping, until the first star appeared in the sky, and the crystal beast stopped in front of it.
When Chen Chen and his junior sister caught up, they found that the gap in front of the crystal beast was three or four meters long and wider than other places, and below the gap was a dark cave, and the bottom of the cave could be faintly seen.
"Xiaojing, is your friend down here?" Senior Sister gasped slightly, her face became red, not the kind of red reflected in the red glow just now, but the kind of ruddy that is unique to the face of ordinary girls, since Senior Sister arrived here, it is rare to see such blood on her face, presumably the clover black grass also helped her a lot, "Then what are we waiting for, hurry up and go down to save it!" But it found that the crystal beast had no intention of going down, its small eyes scanned the junior sister's face for a while, and then turned its face to stare into the distance, and there was no movement for a long time, and the junior sister called it a few times in a row before it reacted. Shaking his hand at his junior sister, that means that he is not here, Chen Chen saw it very clearly.
"Not here, then let's continue to hurry!" "The senior sister said, "Why are you stopping here?" The senior sister naturally came to pull Chen Chen's hand, to continue to hurry, this time Chen Chen did not dodge, maybe he didn't expect to dodge, in the past, it was natural for the senior sister to come to his hand, or he to pull the hand of the junior sister, but when he came to his senses, he still withdrew his hand, and he had no intention of hurrying forward. "Senior sister, don't worry," he said, "the little brute seems to have something to say."
The crystal beast jumped straight in place, one paw pointing forward, then making a frightened expression, and then pointing to the cave at its feet, making a sleeping motion.
"You're saying it's dangerous up ahead?" said the younger sister, looking at the soles of her feet. "Shall we spend the night here tonight and leave tomorrow during the day?"
The Crystal Beast jumped straight in place. That means she's right. The junior sister looked at the senior brother inquiringly.
"The little beast lives here, it's more familiar with this place than we are, so let's listen to it."
Although he was in a hurry to get away and tell him the bad news about Saro, he had to save his own life, and after his injuries gradually healed, he gradually regained his senses. He noticed that after the sky darkened, the atmosphere of the forest on the left and right became more and more weird, its color seemed to be darker than normal, there seemed to be shadows between each tree, sometimes only a few trees in a large forest moved, the leaves trembled violently, it seemed to be windy, but the leaves of other trees did not move at all, and soon after, this tremor shifted to other places, and in the process of transferring, there was a strange rustling sound, and several times, the shaking was transferred to the trees below the long stone where they were, and when Chen Chen stared at it, he didn't find anything, he just felt a chill down his back, as if he was stared at by something。 And he had found something else, that is, there were no animals in the forest. Legend has it that there are countless high-level dangerous beasts in the inner layer of the Wind New Forest, but so far, they have not encountered anything other than the Crystal Beast.
After the crystal beast waited for the junior sister to understand, it slipped down the cave in a puff of smoke. "Let's go down quickly" Chen Chen urged his junior sister, the discovery just now made Chen Chen more and more uneasy, although he was not sure if this cave could block the danger, but it should be able to block some, after all, the crystal beast is a very intelligent animal. And even if they can't be stopped, it can provide them with a place to hide.
The junior sister showed her body technique and fell down lightly, while Chen Chen still needed to climb the cave and climb down, although he still had cultivation and his body had recovered, but his spiritual power was still a little inflexible.
When he arrived at the bottom of the cave, the crystal beast climbed onto the shoulder of the junior sister again, and the junior sister was waiting for him. The cave here is even bigger than the previous one, the four walls are uneven stone walls, there is a seeping crack on the west and east walls, the gap is very narrow, even the crystal beast can not get into it, the stone wall and the ground are covered with gray moss, the light is very dim, Chen Chen carefully searched around, there is no clover black grass on the wall. Chen Chen shook his head self-deprecatingly, how could such a precious thing be everywhere.
"Senior brother, why do I think the woods outside are weird" Zhao Chen said, it turned out that the junior sister had also noticed. When the Crystal Beast heard the junior sister say this, it let out a small hiss that dragged out its voice. Chen Chen glanced at it and said to his junior sister, "It's nothing dangerous, it's just the shaking of the trees!"
"But there is no wind, why do their leaves move? ”
"Don't think nonsense, take a piece of clover black grass and take a little bit, take advantage of the evening time to practice well, with the clover black grass, you don't have to worry about the spiritual power here."
Senior sister still seemed to have something to say, but was interrupted by Chen Chen. "Look, your Xiaojing thinks the same thing, it's nodding!"
"Okay then" Senior Sister cleaned up a clean place in the cave, took a few leaves, and after a while, the entire cave was illuminated by her pink spiritual light.
The Crystal Beast ran to Chen Chen's shoulder when his junior sister was cultivating, and the Crystal Beast at this time seemed very quiet, looking at him silently, not like a small animal, but like an unfathomable elder.
