This grassland is too big, the space is empty, and everywhere it is exactly the same color. There was not a single tree, only the occasional bush or two, which stood out in the vast flat landscape, but not enough to be recognized as a sign, and several people could only make out the direction by the position of the sun.

Now, it's their first night here.

Because there were no horses, they didn't go very far today. There was no cover around, and they found only a small patch of shrub barely blocking the wind, but the effect was almost negligible. Because the terrain is wide, the wind is always strong, but fortunately, it is not very often. They lit a fire for warmth, and they were very close to each other, shielding themselves from the wind. They were all awake and couldn't sleep. At night, it's still very cold here, but the blankets and other luggage are all in Qinglize, so there's no way. Ah Luan is small, the coldest, and can't wait to stuff himself into the campfire in front of him.

"This area is Biliyuan," Shi Wuqi roasted the fire, "Listening to Gao Yuejun, Qinglize is expanding unconsciously, because the mud at the junction absorbs enough water, the soil is cold, and the flowers and plants grow slowly. You see, when we left, the area where we fought with those monsters was blue-gray. There are also many aura-rich cyan glasses in Qinglize, which were also conceived in the process of swamping. ”

"Is Satsuki-kun expanding his territory?" Shanhai asked.

"I also think she did it on purpose and found a way to speed up the process. The little animals and monsters of Biliyuan have to adapt to the climate of Qinglize, even if there are thousands of grievances, they can't help it. ”

"It's so cold," Dai Luan rubbed her hands together and moved her butt closer to the fire, "How long will we have to walk to get to the nearest city?" ”

Mu Wan pondered: "The nearest city may be Ye Gongzi's hometown...... I don't think it's too far. When the time comes, we will be able to write to the shop in Qinglize and ask them to give us something. ”

"Friendly reminder" Shi Wuqi interrupted, "We may not have enough money." ”

“……”

Which pot is not opened, which pot is mentioned. This empty and lonely night is even colder.

"We can figure out how to deal with money. The least important thing is money. Shanhai's tone was light.

"Your apprentice must have suffered a lot with you." Shi Wuqi couldn't help but laugh.

"Less accustomed to the disease of wealth."

Ah Luan rolled his eyes: "Although I really don't have one, you won't say that!" ”

"Okay, okay, let's go to sleep...... I have to go tomorrow. ”

Mu Wan played the round and sighed again, not knowing whether he felt helpless about this dispute, or because he lamented the past or the future. Miss Qi reached out and rubbed Ah Luan's head, and Shi Wuqi said to her:

"If you can't sleep, I'll tell you a few ghost stories about Biliyuan?"

"Don't listen to Wang Ba's recitation."

"Who do you say is the king? And you girl, didn't you say that you are very bold! ”

"No, I'm cowardly after the crazy bone incident, don't accept it?"

“…… Serve and obey. But I'll say anyway, we'll have to take turns on duty with awake people - I received the little demons near Bilihara in the Weeping Corpse House, and there are no animal bunkers in this place, but there are very strange monsters. ”

Occupational disease plus a little normal curiosity, Shanhai asked him what kind of monster he was. The answer he got was within his prediction - it was nothing more than the animals that were trying to survive here and cultivating into demons one after another. It is not an easy task to make a difference in this land itself. Here is the vast sea, the vast desert, the vast snowfield; It is to have nothing, start from scratch, and have no beginning and no end.

It was late at night. Every half hour, they kept a vigil with a different person. The next one in the mountains and seas is Shi Wuqi. After a while, it was time for a break. He lay down on his side, and Miss Qi woke Mu Wan up, she opened her eyes in a daze, sat up straight, and the two of them didn't speak.

In fact, she didn't have a good rest. Ah Luan and Shanhai have slept many times, but they are used to this, and Mu Wan is indeed the first time. Sometimes the Xue Yan Sect has any commissions or training, and when it comes to the vigil, everyone urges her to sleep and doesn't let her worry about it. In other words, at that time, she was Ah Luan from the top and bottom of the school.

Want to go back? If she had asked, she would have probably said, forget it.

Fortunately, her parents and brother are both upright people, and they also taught her to be upright people. She never takes advantage of her special status or the care of others to do whatever she wants, and she also knows that every kindness is not easy to come by. The past life was beautiful, but ah, no one can live in the past, and no one should live in the past.

People should grow.

Looking up at the starry sky, Mu Wan felt a little familiar. Biliyuan is inaccessible, the air is clean, and there are a few particularly bright stars that stand out. It was very similar to the sky in the Snow Yan Valley, and she knew that at night, the inky sky of the Snow Yan Valley was dotted with stars one by one, connected and stacked on top of each other. It should be the same here, except that the moon is too bright tonight to eclipse the stars.

The moon is only a little bit away, and a trace of it can be made up.

It's the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days, and no one mentions it on the road, so I don't know if they remember. The last time she noticed such a beautiful moon was during the Qixi Festival in Jiangyuan Town, when she wrote a letter to the sect. I don't know if I received the letter. How much she wanted to receive a reply—watching the people of the sect sign different names in different words, crowded with concerned greetings. Senior sister's words are the most delicate, and between the lines are also the most gentle. She was a strict person, but when she wrote things, it was like a different person.

In previous years, she was like this when she went far away. Not this time, because no one knew where she was, and no one knew how to get the reply to her.

She took a deep breath of the fresh cold air of the prairie and was about to spit it out when she suddenly heard a rustling sound nearby. Instinctively, she grabbed her umbrella and listened. But there's nothing demonic here—yes, it's just very light, presumably the wind is coming from afar. Yes...... So, it turned out to be the wind.

Mu Wan felt that she had become too sensitive, and she didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing. Master once said to her in a casual conversation that when you really grow up, you live and understand, but people become dull, and it is rare to be confused. She didn't know what blunt was and how to become blunt, she only knew that Master might ...... It's really not coming back.

Do you want to go back? The poisonous oath she made became a joke, not to mention that she was not willing to end it like this. It's not bad if you wander the world, but life without a goal is really boring, and she also has a stone in her heart. It's all with us, and you can't get rid of it. Mu Wan thought that she always had to see Yingyuejun first, even if some words were unpleasant, even if they were ruthless, if she didn't hear them with her own ears, she wouldn't believe it. If it's true, she also wants Yingyuejun's dog life.

If Master is dead...... And why? Is it because Yingyuejun didn't ask about the whereabouts of Frost Yuejun and the Demon Sealing Blade, and he was angry and killed people? Not necessarily, the sect master is so strong, it should be more than enough to deal with a child. But if so, why was he kidnapped? There were too many questions to tell, and she wanted to know the answers.

The next day, the sun rose high, the air became warm, and the fragrance of the grass was steamed, much better than the scorching sensation of the scorching sun. I don't know when it was not so hot. A few people were walking on the road, a little sleepy from the sun. After all, last night, except for Ah Luan, no one had a full night's sleep.

Suddenly, Shi Wuqi stepped forward and took two steps.

He sensed that the scent of grass was mixed with a strong bloody approach. Shi Wuqi reflexively stopped them, and Shanhai also noticed something unusual and stopped. The breath was getting closer and closer, and with a powerful demonic aura, Shi Wuqi turned his head and cautiously observed the direction from which the smell came from.

Suddenly, a huge blue-gray creature broke through the grass and struck at it. Shi Wuqi was startled for a moment, instinctively wanting to fight, but the figure quickly bypassed them. Even so, the strong fishy smell on its body was still very pungent, but the blood was not necessarily its own. Everyone was stunned, it came and ran so fast, so fast that almost no one could see it. Dai Luan was not nervous, but a little confused.

"W-What is that?"

"A wolf demon" Shi Wuqi frowned, looking at the direction it ran away, "There is more than its blood on its body...... It was also wounded, just not deeply. ”

"It's too big......"

Mu Wan sighed. It's not that she's never seen such a big monster, but it's the first time she's seen such a big wolf demon. She had seen and cleaned up monsters much larger than it, but although this wolf was not that large, it far exceeded the size of ordinary steppe wolves, and the fangs she saw in an instant were also very terrifying. This body type makes people feel more real and dangerous.

Shan Hai craned his chin and thought in place. After a moment, he crouched down and took a closer look at the grass where the wolf demon passed. Some of the grass has been corroded, and I don't know if it's saliva or blood.

"Wounded and fleeing......" Shanhai straightened up, "someone is chasing it." ”

Shi Wuqi rolled his eyes: "Seventeen people, all on horses." There's more to come, and I can't hear clearly. ”

As soon as the words fell, the sound of the horse's hooves gradually became clear, from far to near.

A young man on a white steed appeared in front of them, with his head on his head. The horse's coat is bright and glows golden in the sun, and it looks very well maintained. Its muscles were well defined, just like his master, who wore a peculiar hat and little clothing, but the fabric looked sturdy. He had a dark complexion, a hard face, a well-trained body, and a bloody spear in his hand. After he dismounted, he looked them up and down, and his gaze lingered on the two men for a while. His companions on the horses behind him also looked at them with straight faces, pinching the reins, and looking at them like prisoners.

"Where did it come from? Have you seen a big wolf running past? ”

His voice is loud and can be heard far even in the wide grasslands. Without waiting for any of them to answer first, the rider then added:

"That beast bites our county lord!"

"County Lord?" Dai Luan pricked up her ears.
