Chapter Twenty-Four: The Wolf's Lair

Feeling Qinghuan's uneasiness, Liu Xiaoxiao held her slender little hand, signaled her not to worry, looked at the blood-eyed demon wolf again, and thought slightly, "It's not impossible if you want to follow us, but there are two conditions, if you agree, you will be allowed to follow, how"

With a hint of doubt in his eyes, the blood-eyed demon wolf gestured for a while, as if he was asking Liu Xiaoxiao's conditions.

"The place we went to on this trip is the middle area, it is more dangerous, it is inevitable to encounter demon beasts along the way, if you encounter any demon beasts, you can't escape, you have to help fight, and at the same time help protect her" Liu Xiaoxiao pointed to Qinghuan, and said, "The second condition, you have lived in Hengduan Mountain for so long, you are familiar with the mountains and forests, how about being a mount for us." ”

The blood-eyed demon wolf first heard that it was going to the place where it was going to the middle level, and its huge body trembled, obviously it was a little afraid of there, the closer it was to the middle level, the stronger the strength of the demon beast in the middle level, it had approached the middle layer before, but it felt countless breaths stronger than it, and retreated back, and now when it heard that it was going to pick up the middle level, there was a little drum in his heart, but when he thought of his injury, he still responded.

As for being a mount for a while, it is nothing, nothing is more important than survival, it also has a lot of opponents in this area, once it gets the news of its injury, it will definitely come to the door, and it may not be able to escape when the time comes, thinking of this, the blood-eyed demon wolf nodded and agreed.

Liu Xiaoxiao saw that the blood-eyed demon wolf agreed, a smile appeared on her pretty face, she looked at the surrounding mountains and forests, and then glanced at the pale Qingxuan, and said, "I'm afraid it's not okay for you to continue to travel now that you're injured, find a place to rest for the night, and you're on the road tomorrow!"

Qing Xuan nodded, after he fought with the blood-eyed demon wolf, not only was he injured, but even his spiritual power was exhausted, the demon beasts in this mountain were rampant, it was inevitable that he would encounter them, if Liu Xiaoxiao was entangled, and he and the blood-eyed demon wolf had no power to fight, and the remaining four-layer Qinghuan could not protect himself, and he might encounter some danger.

"Okay! I'm already tired after walking for so long" Qinghuan was also happy when he heard that he could rest.

"It's just that where to rest in this barren mountain range!" Qing Xuan looked around, a little helpless, he was very unfamiliar with Hengduan Mountain for the first time, if there was no Liu Xiaoxiao to lead the way, he estimated that he would have to get lost.

"Woohoo"

The blood-eyed wolf whined twice, and its big paw pointed in the direction it had come from.

"You mean you know where you can rest?" Qing Xuan asked, following the direction the blood-eyed demon wolf was pointing.

The blood-eyed demon wolf nodded, motioned for Qing Xuan to follow it, and then walked towards the mountains and forests.

Qing Xuan hesitated for a moment and looked at Liu Xiaoxiao, wanting to ask her opinion, after all, her cultivation was the highest here.

Liu Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment, and then said, "Just follow it, this place still belongs to the periphery of Hengduan Mountain, there are no powerful demon beasts, go and see the place it knows first, if it is suitable, spend the night there, if it is not suitable, find another place." ”

Seeing that Liu Xiaoxiao agreed, Qing Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and followed the footsteps of the blood-eyed demon wolf and walked towards the mountains and forests.

I don't know how long it took to be born, the trees in the mountain are luxuriant, and only a few rays of sunlight shine into the mountain forest along the gaps in the leaves, making a glimmer of light in the dim dense forest, and the ground is a thick layer of dead leaves, and the feet on it make a crisp sound.

The blood-eyed demon wolf led the way in front, because of the injury to the forelimbs, it was not fast, and the three of them also walked slowly, and they also encountered some weaker demon beasts in the middle, but they all ran away as soon as they saw the blood-eyed demon wolf, and it was obvious that the blood-eyed demon wolf had an absolute status in this area, even if it was injured, no demon beast dared to offend it.

After walking for about an hour, the blood-eyed demon wolf took the three of them to a place where the mountains and rocks were scattered, because there were more mountains and rocks, there was not much grass and trees to grow, and the sunlight could shine in directly, and there was a cave in a relatively hidden place, and there was an indescribable fishy smell coming from the cave.

Led the three of them to the cave, the blood-eyed demon wolf whined and pointed to the cave, indicating that this was it.

Qing Xuan glanced at the pitch-black cave and covered his mouth and nose with his hands, the smell coming from the cave was a bit heavy, the same as the smell on the blood-eyed demon wolf, and he forcibly endured some unpleasant smell, "This shouldn't be your lair!"

Liu Xiaoxiao and Qinghuan also covered their mouths and noses, looking at the blood-eyed demon wolf, waiting for its answer.

The blood-eyed demon wolf saw that the three of them couldn't stand the smell of the cave, and there was a trace of embarrassment in their eyes, but they still nodded and admitted that this was its lair.

Qinghuan tugged at the corner of Liu Xiaoxiao's clothes, glanced at the cave, and said, "Sister Xiaoxiao, why don't we change places, the smell here is too bad." ”

"Forget it, let's live here, it's good to have a place to stay in the mountains, the terrain here is higher, and you can see the situation in the mountains and forests very well," although Liu Xiaoxiao also felt that the taste was a bit heavy, but after all, she had wandered in the mountains and forests, and she had also lived in a harsher environment, and she also had the heart to let Qingxuan Qinghuan, the two young masters and young ladies who were born in the Qing family, feel how to survive in the mountains and forests, this kind of environment is only the lowest.

Although Qinghuan was unwilling, he no longer refuted when he saw Liu Xiaoxiao speak.

Seeing that the three of them agreed to stay, the blood-eyed demon wolf was also a little excited, whined twice, pointed to the cave with his big paws, and then pointed to the bottom of the mountain, and then walked down the mountain.

Qing Xuan understood what the blood-eyed demon wolf meant, it was to let them go into the cave first, and it was going to go down by itself, although it didn't know what it was going to do, but it didn't ask.

After the blood-eyed demon wolf disappeared, Liu Xiaoxiao performed a fire control technique, and a flame entered the cave, and for a while, there was a crackling sound in the cave, and then a thick smoke mixed with a fishy smell floated out, and after a while, she took the fire control technique, and the smell in the cave became a lot lighter.

The three of them waited for a long time until the smell in the cave was almost dispersed before they walked in, the cave was very dry, two or three meters high, extending diagonally downward, Liu Xiaoxiao took out a night pearl as big as a bull's eye, and the dark cave became a lot brighter.

The cave is very deep, the fishy smell inside is obviously much lighter, but there is a trace of burnt smell, it is much better than before, after walking a distance of twenty meters below, the three of them came to an empty cave, dozens of square meters as big, in the corner of the cave is spread a thick layer of dead grass, it should be the place where the blood-eyed demon wolf rests, there is a hole on the top of the cave that leads directly to the outside world, the diameter is two meters, and the faint light shines through the hole, so that the cave is not so dark.

Qing Xuan looked around, and chuckled, "I didn't expect this blood-eyed demon wolf to enjoy it, this cave is very spacious and ventilated, except for the smell is a little heavier, everything else is very good."

Liu Xiaoxiao also smiled with satisfaction and said, "It's really good to have such a cave in this Hengduan Mountain, at least it's much stronger than staying overnight in the mountains and forests."

"Huh, I can't see that this blood-eyed demon wolf is quite rich, and there are even a lot of first-order elixirs" Qing Xuan walked to another place, saw more than a dozen elixirs that had been air-dried, and sighed lightly.

He knows more than ten elixirs, there are Qi Lan leaves, Yunling grass, green and yellow knots, all of which are first-order elixirs, and they are all worth a lot of money, and a rough estimate shows that more than ten elixirs are worth about 20,000 taels of silver.

Liu Xiaoxiao and Qinghuan also walked over, looking at more than a dozen elixirs, Liu Xiaoxiao's beautiful eyes flashed a trace of discoloration, although there are many elixirs in Hengduan Mountain, but she is also slightly surprised that more than a dozen strains appear at one time, although these elixirs are only first-order, and they are not available casually, it is obvious that these dozen elixirs have been collected by the blood-eyed demon wolf for so many years, and there is one elixir that has been half gnawed.

Liu Xiaoxiao picked up a green and yellow knot and looked at it carefully, and said, "This green and yellow knot is at least fifty years old, and it is about to advance to a second-order elixir, which has a miraculous effect on the treatment of external injuries, just right for you, put it away." ”

"This is the treasure of the blood-eyed demon wolf's life, let's wait for it to come back and ask what it is saying. "Although Qing Xuan is very interested in these elixirs, since he has made friends with the blood-eyed demon wolf, it is not easy to take them directly.

"I didn't expect you to be so righteous to a wolf, that's okay, wait for it to come back and ask, by the way, ask what good elixir is nearby, and collect it together, you go get some hay first, and by the way, you are looking for some dry firewood, it is already late autumn, the temperature in the mountains at night is very low, make a fire here at night, there is a cave to cover, and I don't worry about being discovered by demon beasts" Liu Xiaoxiao put down the green and yellow knot, and said lightly.

Qing Xuan smiled bitterly and replied, "Sister Xiaoxiao, I'm an injured person now, can't you take care of it?"

"What's wrong with the wounded, and you didn't hurt your muscles and bones, do you still want your sister to go?" Liu Xiaoxiao glared at her angrily.

Qingxuan shook his head helplessly, it seemed that it was hopeless to expect Liu Xiaoxiao to do this kind of rough work, as for Qinghuan, he had no hope, and he didn't worry about her going, so he could only sigh and say, "Okay! Then you clean up a place to sleep in the cave, and I'll go out to find hay and dry firewood." He threw down a sentence and walked out of the cave.

Perhaps worried about Qing Xuan's injury, Qing Huan was entangled for a moment and said, "Wait, Brother Qing Xuan, I'll go with you."

Qing Xuan glanced at Qinghuan in some surprise, he didn't expect Qinghuan to be willing to go out with him.

Seeing Qingxuan looking at himself, Qinghuan said a little embarrassed, "I just feel that my strength is low, and I can't help much in this Hengduan Mountain, so I want to do something."

"That's okay, you just follow me" Qing Xuan beckoned and walked out of the cave.

Qinghuan also followed quickly, Liu Xiaoxiao looked at the backs of the two, her eyes fell on Qinghuan's body, nodded with satisfaction, and then began to clean up in the cave.
