On the morning of the fifth day of coming to Xinjiang, after Zuo Yin and his master had breakfast, he tied the two horses to the inside of the stronghold, and then placed a sufficient amount of weeds, although Zuo Yin doubted the edibility of these black weeds collected from the vicinity, but saw that his car snorted and expressed satisfaction, Zuo Yin still chose to believe in the master's experience, and the two of them began to walk along the river on foot.

Along the way, the dark leaves fall with the autumn wind, but the whole environment has a kind of gloom, the whole environment is only the rustle of feet on the fallen leaves, if it is an ordinary teenager estimated that he would have scared himself in such an atmosphere, but Zuo Yin has followed his grandfather up the mountain to collect medicine since he was a child, and he has long been accustomed to such a deserted environment, so he is calm.

The two of them walked south along the dense forest by the river, and occasionally heard the chirping of birds and birds along the way, or the howling of unknown beasts.

The two walked for an hour or so, Zuo Yin looked at the master who was leisurely all the way, thinking about the question in his heart, and couldn't help but ask: "Master, the alien race in my image has not invaded on a large scale for many years, and the old pawn of the fire department seems to keep silent about this matter to me. After all, he was going to confront or even fight with the alien race, but Zuo Yin almost didn't know anything about the alien race, so he asked.

Bai Changzhi glanced at Zuo Yin, and secretly laughed that this elm apprentice who likes to be silent finally opened his mouth to ask someone, so he replied: "It's only three years, there was an encounter three years ago, the fire tiger broke those alien races, but he was also seriously injured, my previous deputy general was too injured in that battle and had to withdraw from the front line, Yang Zizhan's kid also made up for it, but this battle was finally sealed for some reasons, so it's normal that you don't know." Only then did Zuo Yin know the history of Brother Yang Zizhan.

Bai Changzhi paused, and then said: "The alien race is ostensibly dominated by the high priest, and the four elders cooperate with the high priest to govern their territory, the high priest has never appeared, and every time there is a big war, the four elders will appear at most, grandma's, if the high priest appears, I will kill him with one sword, maybe there will not be so many wars." Zuo Yin was speechless about this kind of complaint from his master, he could confront the Cangnan Army for many years, the high priest of the alien race must not be an idle person, his master said to cut it, it seems that the world is not afraid, however, Zuo Yin looked at the gloomy sky, such a sharp edge, he Zuo Yin likes it from the bottom of his heart.

"That's right," Bai Changzhi seemed to think of something again, and added: "It's said that it's an alien race, and the top ones have more animal ears and tails than us, and the alien races at the bottom still look more peculiar, and you'll know when the time comes." ”

Along the way, Bai Changzhi introduced Zuo Yin to the situation of the alien race a little bit, and at the same time signaled Zuo Yin to follow his movements and steps in the forest, Zuo Yin walked step by step according to his words, and found that the master's steps had a special rhythm. Zuo Yin was quietly studying, suddenly, Bai Changzhi, who was walking in front, stopped silently, and at the same time raised his hand to signal Zuo Yin to be quiet, Zuo Yin was alert, quietly stepped forward, and gently brushed away a bunch of dense bushes to learn from the master's practice, but the scene in front of him instantly shocked him.

In front of the bushes, around a fire, there were three behemoths, more than a foot and two feet tall. The whole body has blue-gray rough skin, but it looks like a body made of rocks, one of them is facing Zuo Yin, and is talking incomprehensibly to the two companions who are facing away from Bai Changzhi and Zuo Yin, and the giant thing facing them looks like a wild boar, with long fangs sticking out of its mouth, revealing sharp fangs between words, which looks hideous and abnormal. The giant has a strange black totem on its body, crawling all over its body between its teeth and claws.

The fire among the three gray giants was roasting an unknown beast, and saliva flowed out of the giant's mouth, and just when Zuo Yin was about to take a closer look, the giant's eyes suddenly turned to the grass where they were hidden, and his cold vertical eyes stared at him like a snake.

Only a sharp roar was heard, and the giant thing picked up the exaggerated big axe in his hand and rushed towards the grass where Bai Changzhi and Zuo Yin were hiding, and its two companions also reacted very quickly, and immediately turned around and rushed over together. After all, it was the first time for Zuo Yin to see such a huge monster rushing straight towards him, even if he was mature in his heart, he was also stuck on the spot, and Bai Changzhi was not in a hurry, and drew out the gray long knife lightly, and then in an instant, the green tendons on his right arm bulged, and he was as violent as a tiger!

After Bai Changzhi drew the long knife in his right hand, he drew an arc with the back of the knife towards himself, tucked the knife on his left shoulder, and then split it out in an instant, a wave of fluctuations moved forward along the air, and the charge of the three giants was stagnant, and the ripples pierced through the waist in an instant, and the cyan blood gushed out instantly, and the original cold eyes of the three giants tended to be gray, and the upper body fell from the waist and fell heavily to the ground, the colorful internal organs flowed to the ground, and the lower body of the giant was still standing in place, where the break was, As smooth as a mirror when Zuo Yin saw his master swinging a knife to chop a tree for the first time, the fishy smell slowly drifted over.

Zuo Yin smelled this breath, and saw this bloody scene, and suddenly felt a nausea in his heart, even though he had been hunting and killing those small animals in the mountains since he was a child, he was still shocked by this scene, but he had been practicing knife skills in the military camp for half a year, Zuo Yin's heart was no longer as before, and he immediately took a few deep breaths, completely ignoring the smell in the air, and suppressed the discomfort in his heart.

Looking at the apprentice next to him who looked stable, Bai Changzhi proudly pointed to the three corpses, and said to Zuo Yin: "Good performance, I didn't pee in my pants, these three are the low-level soldiers of the python clan among the four major clans of the different races, go and clean up these corpses, we should spend it here tonight." ”

Although he was puzzled by the fact that it was noon and decided to rest here, Zuo Yin still walked over and hastily buried the blood stains near the three corpses to prevent the beasts with a keen sense of smell from coming over, and during this time, Bai Changzhi kept looking up and staring at a few red birds flying high in the sky, silent.

Outside the southern Xinjiang pass, in the depths

Between a gray bare mountain range, a simple and rough palace lies on the mountainside, the surface is covered with a layer of black sand and stone unique to the outside of the territory, the width of the hall is more than 20 zhang, if someone comes closer to look, you will find that this palace style is carved with a huge bone, but I don't know what it is, it has such a big bone, and the original owner of the bone, and I don't know how tall the body is.

Inside the palace, the cyan flames illuminated the hall, but it also made the hall full of a strange atmosphere, there were four people in the hall facing the woman shrouded in red veil on the temple platform, the woman turned her back to the four people, and was looking at the three statues of gods on the temple platform, the gods were all veiled and masked, one red, one white, one gray, which looked extremely strange.

The red-and-white long-clothed woman among the four people under the hall had just opened her eyes, her cherry lips opened slightly, and she said to the red-gauze woman: "Back to the high priest, the cardinal found Bai Changzhi's figure more than one hundred and twenty miles south of the Dead Dragon Pass, and only one young man followed him. After speaking, before the woman on the hall could speak, another emaciated young man among the four people in the Great Hall suddenly knelt on the ground: "Bai Changzhi dared to go deep into my holy domain with only one person, and deceived me too much, Yu Lian asked to personally lead the clansmen to crusade against Bai Changzhi, and took this opportunity to cut off the arm of the Cangnan army." ”

The oldest white-haired old man among the three was dressed in an earthy yellow brocade robe, holding a cane carved with a python head, and slowly spoke: "His Royal Highness Yulian's courage is commendable, but Bai Changzhi is already in the middle stage of the state of mind, coupled with the way of killing in practice, the actual combat ability is so strong, rare in the world, if we want to besiege and kill him, I am afraid it will not be a momentary achievement, and besides, the war is imminent, so it is unwise." The old man's persuasion was eloquent, how could the other two nod slightly, expressing approval, Yu Lian turned his head to look at the woman in red on the palace platform for help, the woman's eyes looked at this side through the red veil, and the beautiful voice sounded in everyone's ears: "What Elder Chen Ye said is reasonable, but let Bai Changzhi enter and exit unhindered, it will inevitably fall into the hope of my holy domain, and Zhun Yulian will lead the troops to the crusade, but the troops should not be too much, and the battle should not be excessive." ”

When Yu Lian heard the permission, Daxi quickly retreated, obviously immediately preparing for the attack, and as soon as Yu Lian left, the old man Chen Ye spoke: "High priest, Yu Lian is impulsive, this time he just wants to avenge his father, why——? Before the old man finished speaking, the voice of the woman in red rang out: "Our secret actions, I'm afraid Wu Jing has already noticed it, but it hasn't been confirmed yet, this time Bai Changzhi took one person to go deep into the holy realm, and the possibility of temptation is greater, so contact him to dispel their suspicions." The rest of the three were all in obedience.
