Chapter 1: Tailgating

Lin Hua Xie Chunhong, the weather is cold and autumn is late.

On the forest path leading to the west of Longqi Town, an emaciated figure was walking slowly alone......

……

Qian Fei has been walking like this for a long time.

Longqi Town is located at the intersection of mountains, rivers and valleys, with a superior geographical location, and it is a small forest to the west of the city.

It is said to be a small forest, but it is not small at all, but compared to the larger Demon Beast Mountain Range entrenched in the north, it seems a little "thin......

According to older generations, this forest has not been around since ancient times, and its history is much shorter than most people think.

Rumor has it that in recent decades this forest has popped up seemingly overnight, without warning or bringing any anomalies, and gradually everyone has become accustomed to it.

This forest has no name, but that doesn't prevent it from having all the characteristics of a forest, whether it's resources or the energy of heaven and earth, it's much richer than the wilderness.

The abundant energy of heaven and earth has also attracted many large and small demon beasts to entrench, making this forest full of vitality and spirituality.

The presence of monsters will attract mercenaries and hunters from nearby towns to hunt here, and over time, this place will also be known to the surrounding towns.

Unlike the dangerous Monster Forest, this forest seems to be more suitable for living creatures, so it has also produced many strange monsters and spirit plants.

The "Earth Yuan Root" that Qian Fei needs to collect is one of them!

Diyuan root is a very peculiar plant, the maturity period is generally about 5 years, its peculiarity lies in the fact that this plant will go through three completely different growth stages in its life:

When it was born, it was not a plant, but an animal with hands and legs, called an earth-yuan beast.

It looks a bit like a lizard, it has no attack power, it is not poisonous, it is at the bottom of the food chain, and the main reason why it is not extinct may be because it is so unpalatable......

It then voluntarily sends itself into the mouth of a carnivorous plant called the Demon Eater, which is then swallowed by it, at which point it secretes a special viscous protective membrane to prevent it from being digested.

Then the Earth Element Beast will turn into something similar to the "Stone" and will always lurk in the "Demon Devouring Flower", constantly absorbing its energy to replenish itself.

In the end, the Earth Element Beast replaced the "Demon Devouring Flower" and burst out from its internal body, stretching out its hands and feet, and at this time they were also the most terrifying......

At this time, the Earth Element Beast has the powerful poison of the "Demon Devouring Flower" and the powerful attack power of its own fully grown.

A melee mage-like existence!

At this stage, the Earth Element Beast almost does not have any natural predators, it belongs to the middle and upper layers of the food chain, and perfectly realizes the huge transformation from an ugly duckling to a swan!

And the Diyuan Root that Qian Fei is looking for is the second stage of the Diyuan Beast, and it is also the most vulnerable stage in the process of its irritable growth.

……

Finally, the outline of the forest appeared in front of Qian Fei!

Approaching the forest, Qian Fei could clearly feel that the land under his feet was no longer barren, but gradually bringing a touch of green.

A breath of fresh air greets you, and if you smell it carefully, you can feel the fragrance of pine resin, which vaguely reveals the unique smell of the forest.

In the distance, a blue water belt looks particularly abrupt in the wilderness full of barrenness, the stream gurgles, the leaves rustle, the stream flows quietly in the sun, clear to the bottom, diluting the depression of the wilderness, the clear water and sunny day become extremely transparent at this moment, without a trace of dust.

After walking for a while, Qian Fei suddenly stopped, did not look back, but sighed helplessly, and said, "Come out, don't follow." ”

After Qian Fei's words were finished, he saw three figures come out of a tuft of grass behind him, two men and one woman, with embarrassed faces.

It is Bai Ding, Leping and Er.

"Look, I'll just say I can't hide it from the boss, you still don't believe it." Bai Ding shrugged helplessly.

"Sure enough, there are people outside the world, it's ridiculous that I think I can hide my whereabouts by shielding my whereabouts with my mental power!" Le Ping said solemnly, looking self-reproachful.

"Cut, what's the big deal."

This is ear-stalking.

Qian Fei was surprised, why did he have a?

What did she come with her?

Qian Fei turned around and said with a smile: "I knew when you followed you out of the house, didn't I tell you to stay there where you are......"

"I'll be where the boss is!" Bai Ding said first.

"I need to hunt the Earth Jiao, and besides, I'm not familiar with those mercenaries." This is Leping.

Qian Fei turned his head: "What about you?" ”

He stuck out his little tongue and glanced at Qian Fei: "You care about me!" ’

"Okay......" Qian Fei spread his hands, indicating that he didn't care.

"She's my student, come with me, the main mission of the Tiger Regiment's dispatch this time is to hunt a very dangerous wolf monster, escorting her is just by the way." Leping explained.

Qian Fei nodded.

A big guy like the blood wolf personally leads the team, and it must not be just to protect the ear, it must have an extremely dangerous combat mission, and it is indeed a burden to carry the ear.

But contrary to Qian Fei's expectations, Leping actually knew Shu'er?!

Student?

emmmmmm

Qian Fei thought for a while: "She came along, does the blood wolf know?" ”

"I don't know." Bai Ding said.

"Yes." Leping Road.

Qian Fei: "??? ”

"Yes." Bai Ding said.

"I don't know." Leping Road.

Qian Fei: "......"

Ear: "......"

……

Well, so be it.

……

Qian Fei didn't bother to deal with them anymore, but fortunately, his mission was not dangerous.

That's it, the four masters and apprentices, oh no, the four of them are on the road.

And behind them, in an invisible corner, a dark shadow quietly disappeared.

Fleeting!

……

The smell of straw filled the air, and trees that were not very tall suddenly appeared in front of me.

The surrounding barren ground has been completely replaced by green, and it looks fresh.

After walking for a long time, Qian Fei and the others had completely entered the forest.

Qian Fei's eyes kept looking around, as if he was looking for something.

In addition to collecting the roots of the earth, he has a more important purpose: to find that meadow!

It is the meadow in Qian Fei's memory, and it is also the place where the so-called Old Man Yu picked up himself and Yu Ji!

Perhaps some mysteries can be found there.

Of course, Qian Fei doesn't have much hope for this, although this forest is not big, but it is definitely not small, finding an identical meadow is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, not to mention that the scene in the dream has long been mottled, and Qian Fei cannot guarantee that there will be no place to remember.

At this moment, a faint stench suddenly spread.

Qian Fei stopped and covered his nose with his hand, the smell was very faint, but it was extremely unpleasant.

"What's wrong?" Leping asked.

Bai Ding and the others also cast puzzled looks.

"Let's go, what are you waiting for?" Ear Piercing urged.

"Shhhh......h

At this time, the three of them noticed that the grass under their feet seemed to show an abnormal color.

Dark green with a hint of grey?!!

What is it?

Everyone was a little puzzled.

Qian Fei didn't answer, but looked around, not knowing what he was looking at, and his expression became more solemn.

Leping also sensed that something was wrong!

Like ...... Something had been watching them in the dark......
