Chapter 20: Into the Mountain

Early the next morning, before dawn, Qingxuan was shouted by Liu Xiaoxiao, although he was unwilling, he still got up.

When I got out of the room, I saw Liu Xiaoxiao dragging the sleepy Qinghuan waiting outside the door, and when she saw him get up, Liu Xiaoxiao chuckled and said, "Did you sleep well last night?"

Hearing this, Qing Xuan smiled bitterly, he didn't sleep much at all, he was cultivating all night, and only slept for a while in the second half of the night, and he was called up before dawn.

Out of the restaurant, the street was pitch black, as long as there were a few bustling people, the shops on both sides of the road had not yet opened, and the three of them walked towards the city gate together.

The restaurant where Qingxuan and the three of them lived was not very far from the city gate, and soon the three of them left Hengduan City.

After leaving the city, Qing Xuan found that it was not only a few of them who went out at night, although it was very dark, it was still easy for him to see things clearly in the dark with his eyesight, and he could vaguely see that there were many figures on the road to Hengduan Mountain, some were in a team, and some were bold and alone.

"Sister Xiaoxiao, why do you want to enter the mountain so early" Qing Xuan still couldn't hold back his question.

Liu Xiaoxiao turned her head and glanced at Qing Xuan, although it was night, her beautiful eyes were still so bright, and she said in a low voice, "It's safe in Hengduan City, but it's not necessarily after leaving the city, Hengduan Mountain is already dangerous, if it is being remembered by someone with a heart, then it will be really troublesome."

Qingxuan's face tightened, and he said with some uncertainty: "Sister Xiaoxiao is saying that if you enter the mountain when there are many people, you will be targeted?"

"Demon beasts can be said to be full of treasures, hunting demon beasts is not so easy, it is normal for some people to kill people and seize treasures for profit, even if my sister is not afraid of others, if someone really finds the three-leaf golden lotus, there will still be a lot of trouble, don't forget that there is a burden here" Liu Xiaoxiao glanced at Qinghuan, who was still confused.

Hearing this, Qinghuan immediately stopped doing it, woke up from sleepiness, and said dissatisfiedly, "Sister Xiaoxiao, do you say that, isn't it just that the strength is a little weaker, and when Miss Ben grows up, she will definitely be stronger than you."

Qingxuan and Liu Xiaoxiao both looked at Qinghuan's body, with a hint of a smile in their eyes, as if to say, when you grow up, you will be a burden now.

Being stared at by the two of them like this, Qinghuan suddenly looked like a deflated ball, drooped his head, and said, "Okay! I admit that I am a burden at the moment." ”

Qing Xuan chuckled, with a hint of warmth and pampering in his smile, touched Qinghuan's little head, and said softly, "As long as you are willing to work hard to cultivate, you will definitely be stronger than your brother in the future." ”

Qinghuan looked up at Qinghuan, clenched his hand, his eyes were firm, and he said seriously, "I will definitely be more powerful than Brother Qingxuan."

Liu Xiaoxiao also chuckled and gave Qinghuan an encouraging look.

Hengduan Mountain is very large, stretching for thousands of miles, the grass and trees in the mountains are luxuriant, in the dark night like an ancient fierce beast, different from the earthly breath in the mountains and forests, the cold makes people a little chilled, the roar of insects and beasts will sound from the mountains and forests from time to time.

"Sister Xiaoxiao, it's so scary here. Listening to the roar of the beast, Qinghuan's little face turned pale, and his voice trembled a little.

She has lived in Jianghai City since she was a child, where has she ever seen such a dangerous place, and now being there does make her a little flustered.

Qing Xuan is relatively better, after all, he is a man, and his heart is still very strong, from the roar of the beast, he can feel the fierce, brutal feeling, that kind of wild and unrestrained feeling, which makes him feel a little numb, from the voice, he can judge that the strength of those demon beasts is definitely above him, otherwise it will not make him a little unbearable.

On the other hand, Liu Xiaoxiao had a calm face, ignoring the sound of the beast's roar, but her beautiful eyes were patrolling everything around her with a hint of vigilance.

"It's okay, don't be afraid, although those demon beasts are powerful, they won't come to this outer layer, the demon beasts have their own territory, and they won't leave their territory at all unless it's a special situation. Liu Xiaoxiao saw that both of them were a little scared, and comforted them, she knew this situation very well, and it was the same when she first came to Hengduan Mountain, it was normal for her to have an instinctive fear of powerful creatures.

"How far is it, it's been almost three hours" Qing Xuan looked at the sky, which had begun to turn a little white.

The mountain road they walked was extremely hidden, there was only a narrow mountain road that only allowed one person to pass in this mountain forest, he had hardly seen any human figure in these three hours, and now in this mountain, he could be said to have a black eye and didn't understand anything, everything could only listen to Liu Xiaoxiao.

"Why, you can't stand it just after walking so much?" Liu Xiaoxiao's eyes swept over the two of them, frowning slightly, and seeing that both of them were staring at her nervously, she couldn't help but shake her head.

Qing Xuan was also red-faced, and smiled awkwardly, "It's not that I can't stand it, it's just that I don't know how far it is."

"At the current speed, it will take more than ten days to travel," Liu Xiaoxiao pondered for a while.

"What? more than ten days!" Qinghuan exclaimed, it had only been three hours, and her feet were sore, and if she walked for more than ten days, it was estimated that her feet would be wasted, and she regretted coming with her a little when she thought of this.

"Does the little girl regret coming along? If she regrets it, how about my sister send you back now" Liu Xiaoxiao looked at Qinghuan with a smile on her face.

"No, how could Miss Ben regret it, isn't it just more than ten days, what's the big deal" Qinghuan thought that if she went back now, it would be embarrassing to spread to Jianghai City, so she didn't want to be ridiculed by Luo Jingjing.

Enduring the soreness of her slender feet, Qinghuan followed Liu Xiaoxiao closely, looking at the mountains and forests that seemed to have no end in sight, and cried in her heart.

Qing Xuan walked behind, seeing that Qinghuan's footsteps were a little vain, and knew that she might not be able to stand this mountain road, but there was no other way, since she came, she couldn't go back now, and it should be good when she got used to it.

In this way, the three of them walked for about two hours, and the sky was already bright, and the sun shone through the dense branches and foliage into the mountain forest, and the mountain road became more and more difficult to walk, and there were thorny jungles everywhere, and if you were not careful, your clothes would be scratched.

A few days later, when the three of Qing Xuan were a little tired, they came to a relatively flat dense forest, and what caught their eyes were thick trees, the thickest trees were almost as thick as two people hugging each other, and the cold aura became stronger here, and there was a thick layer of fallen leaves on the ground

Liu Xiaoxiao tidied up the messy hair on her forehead, and her smooth forehead also had a layer of fine beads of sweat, and after walking the mountain road for several days in a row, she was also a little tired, and she also chuckled when she saw Qingxuan Qinghuan and the two of them looking listless: "Okay, let's rest here for a while, eat some dry food to recover your strength, so as not to exhaust the two of you." ”

Hearing that he could rest, Qinghuan suddenly sat on the ground with a butt, no matter what the identity of the eldest lady was, he gasped, took off his boots, and the soles of his slender feet were already blistered, many of them were worn out, oozing a trace of blood, looking at his feet, with a look of grievance, and his big eyes were faintly filled with tears, unspeakably pitiful.

Liu Xiaoxiao walked to Qinghuan and sat down, looking at the somewhat miserable little feet, she was also distressed, took Qinghuan in her arms, and comforted softly, "Some things must be experienced, as a young lady of the Qing family, you can't live under the protection of the family forever, you know?"

Qinghuan leaned on Liu Xiaoxiao's arms, hugged her slender waist, and said in a low voice: "Sister Xiaoxiao, I know, I'm just a little unused to it." ”

Qingxuan also saw the soles of Qinghuan's feet, and he was a little distressed in his heart, but he didn't say anything, he knew that Liu Xiaoxiao was right, some things must be experienced, the flowers in the greenhouse are beautiful, but they are also very fragile, sighed lightly, sat cross-legged on the dead leaves and began to repair and recover his strength.

A slight sound sounded in the dense forest, and Qing Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, with a glimmer of light in his eyes, looking in the direction where the sound came from.

Liu Xiaoxiao also looked up, a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes, she didn't speak, she just glanced at Qing Xuan, and at the same time threw Lu Ming's silver spear to Qing Xuan from the storage ring, signaling to hand it over to him to solve.

Although Qinghuan's strength was a little weaker, he could still hear the faint sound in the silent mountain forest, and he looked up and asked, "Sister Xiaoxiao, what's wrong?"

Liu Xiaoxiao chuckled, "It's okay, it's just a demon beast looking for death, just leave it to Qingxuan to solve it." ”

As soon as she heard that it was a demon beast, Qinghuan's body trembled unconsciously, and then she felt the warmth in Liu Xiaoxiao's arms, and her heart gradually settled, although she didn't know what kind of demon beast it was, but she still had great confidence in Liu Xiaoxiao.

Qing Xuan took the silver spear and stood proudly, staring ahead with a pair of dark eyes, from the breath that came, he could judge that the strength of the demon beast that came was not strong, at most it was equivalent to the strength of the fifth layer of the Spirit Attraction Realm, not to mention that he had broken through the seventh layer of the Spirit Attraction Realm a few days ago, even if he didn't break through, it was still very easy to deal with a demon beast equivalent to the fifth layer of the Spirit Attraction Realm.

The demon beasts of Hengduan Mountain are divided into four levels, which are the first order to the fourth order, and the first order is divided into ten levels, and now it is a demon beast of the first order and five levels.

A moment later, a demon beast appeared in the field of vision of the three of them, with a body size of two meters, thick and powerful limbs, a thick fur all over its body, two fangs exposed on both sides of a huge mouth, looking extremely vicious, and two eyes the size of a bull's eye revealed a fierce light.

Although Qing Xuan has never seen a demon beast with his own eyes, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know the demon beast, there are many descriptions of the demon beast in some of the Qing family's collections, and the demon beast in front of him he recognizes that it is a beaver, the beaver is a kind of fox, much larger than the average fox, the adult beaver can reach three meters in size, and the strength is comparable to that of a cultivator in the Imperial Spirit Realm, and the one in front of him is only about two meters, and the strength has only reached the fifth layer of the Spirit Attraction Realm.
