On this day, Ivan was teaching Ari to practice swordsmanship. Tillan leaned against the tree and looked at Ivan with tenderness in his eyes.

Hearing the rustling of leaves, Pai ran anxiously to Ivan's side and said hurriedly: "It's been a few days, Sister Niwu has been gone for so long, and she hasn't come back yet." ”

"Have you asked Lady Katie?" Ivan was stunned, he didn't think that Niwu had been gone for so long.

"Sister Katie said don't worry." Pai put worry on his face, "Harry's place is full of members of the Cultivators, how can people not be worried. ”

Pai's small mouth gasped, beads of sweat dripping down her face. She wiped her sweat with her hands and asked, "Adventurer, do you know anything about the Cultivators?" ”

"Well......" Ivan hesitated for a long time, but seeing Pai's anxious appearance, he still told the truth, "I don't understand." ”

"As far as I know, those people are very cruel and do bad things, but no one can stop them." Pai asked, "What exactly are the Cultivators doing in Harlem?" Why would everyone be desperate to escape from there? Can we just wait and see? ”

Ivan smiled in his heart, and instantly knew the purpose of this lovely girl coming to him today. But he didn't interrupt, waiting for Pai to continue, "I, I'm going to Harlem!" It's because I'm worried about Sister Niwu, but more importantly, I'm going to see for myself what's going on in Harlem. ”

"Hmm." Ivan nodded, "Go ahead!" ”

Pai froze in place, the abominable Ivan interrupting her train of thought, and all the words she had prepared were nullified. She had to vent her anger on the grass.

Pai stomped her foot and puffed out, "We, it's better for us to just go and see than to stay like this......" Her face turned red with anxiety, like a porcelain doll.

Ivan touched his forehead and sighed, "Then you go!" ”

"Hmph, hmph, hmph......" Pye stomped her foot in anger, her dark brown cloak flapping with her, "I, I'm going to find Sister Katie......"

The fresh scent of flowers suddenly came, and Ivan felt a fluctuation of magic power before Katie appeared in front of him. He hurriedly saluted: "Lord Katie! Ari and Tillan didn't expect Katie to suddenly appear, and they hurriedly saluted.

"Pai......" Katie's expression was serious and her tone was stern, "you said you were going to Harlem?" I can't let you go to such a dangerous place! After she finished speaking, she smiled apologetically at Ivan and the others, "I'm sorry, adventurer, for causing you trouble." ”

Ivan hurriedly shook his hands and made a nonchalant appearance. But I heard Pai shout, "But, it's ......."

Believing in the power of the Neum, and not wanting Pai to be in danger, Katie tells Pai, "She's gone, waiting." ”

Pai had no scruples at this time, and exclaimed, "You mean, Niwu can go to dangerous places alone?" ”

Katie was speechless, pursed her lips and whispered: "I didn't mean that......"

Katie's image in the hearts of Ivan is holy and noble, and it is really eye-opening to see her show such a look today.

Pai seemed to be much more angry, only to hear her say softly, "I also know that Sister Niwu is much stronger than me. But didn't the Cultivators particularly hate Sister Nunwu? What if, what if she makes a mistake? ”

Katie frowned and thought for a long time, sighed softly, and whispered to Ivan, "Adventurer, can you go to Harlem with Pai?" This kid hadn't experienced much of a battle, and it would be very dangerous to go head-to-head with the Cultivators. ”

Ivan shrugged his shoulders and said easily: "No problem! "He saw Katie's different look today, and when he returned to the 'Adventurers' Alliance, he had bragging rights.

Katie reassured Pai, "Pai, don't go into the depths of Harlem. You're just going to check it out, okay? ”

"Good!" Pai nodded obediently, "This time I'm just going to pick up Sister Nunwu, if the adventurers are here, don't worry." ”

"Uh-huh, uh-huh." Ivan looked at Pye, nodded helplessly, and shouted at Tilland, "Go and call those two henchmen." ”

Tilland listened, and slapped her dress. Pai was very happy and said excitedly, "Thank you, adventurer, I knew you were a good person!" Before seeing that you can tolerate the chatter, you know that you are a good person! ”

Ivan listened, touched his head and twitched the corners of his mouth.

Suddenly, I heard a scream: "I obviously didn't do anything this time, but why is it still me?" As soon as the voice fell, a woman in a white dress and a short red skirt rushed out of the forest. The woman stepped on knee-high boots, had long chestnut-colored hair, and tied a fiery red bow on her head, which was beautiful and cute.

When Pai saw the visitor, he pointed at her and said embarrassedly, "Bibi, you actually overheard us." ”

Bibi stroked his long hair and hummed: "Hmph, who rarely overhears your words......"

Katie ignored the two arguing and said to Ivan, "Adventurer, Harlem is a very dangerous place. I'm staying in Central Park and can't go with you, I'm sorry. ”

Ivan and the others packed up and took Pai and headed in the direction of Harlem.

To get from Central Park to Harlem, you have to pass through the 'Badlands'. There is sand and gravel in the Gobi, and the yellow sand is all over the ground, but I don't know what kind of perseverance Arui relied on to cross it.

A few people came out of the forest, but they saw that the grass was withered and yellow, and the trunks of the dwarf trees were pickled; Broken branches and rotten leaves, sand and gravel flying. There are no shoots on the dead wood, and snakes and insects hide in the yellow sand. There is no scenery at one glance, and it is desolate on the left and right.

Seeing this scene, Ari secretly said that he was lucky; If you were bitten by that insect and snake, you might have died.

Ivan shook his head and said, "How is this going?" ”

Pai pointed to the desert and said, "There's Bagul!" ”

Ivan chuckled: "That's easy to do!" ”

I saw Ivan take out a small copper bell and jump forward. Jingle bells, copper bells shake. Then he saw Bagul in the yellow sand like a well-behaved dog, running to Ivan and shaking his head and tail.

Ah Rui was surprised: "Master, this? ”

"This brass bell is called the 'Bell of Obedience', and when it shakes, it has the 'magic of obedience', and it is specially used to deal with these Bagul." Ivan explained, slinging the brass bell around his waist and beckoning everyone to take the Bagul.

The yellow sand retreated sharply in front of him, and the speeding Bagul shook a gust of wind. Pai hugged Bagul's head and turned his head sideways to Ivan and said, "Adventurer, Sister Niwu entered Harlem from the direction of the 'Fallen Forest', and we are going that way. The yellow sand in the wind may not be able to get along with her, so he said a few words, and his mouth was full of sand.

Ivan turned his head and replied, "You lead the way." ”

A few of the Bagul reversed course, leaving fleeting traces on the sand.

At the end of the view, a gloomy forest can be seen. The forest seemed lifeless, with a strange stench of rotting dead branches and broken leaves in the dirt. All kinds of tall trees seemed to have lost their life, and countless dead vines were dancing their teeth and claws in the forest.

Ivan and the others jumped down in front of the forest, smelling the disgusting smell, and really didn't want to go in.

Suddenly there was an exclamation from the dark forest, and it was supposed to be the cry of a woman. A few people were anxious, so they pulled their legs and rushed to the forest.

Ivan ran to the front, and suddenly he seemed to have a sense, and hurriedly retreated. A hideous wolf head the size of a millstone appeared where he had just stood, and the wolf head bit into the air and slowly dissipated.

Ivan shouted behind him: "Cloud Leaf, there are traps of black magic here, clear them!" ”

As soon as the few people behind him heard this, Mock flew up the tree, and Pai grew up her rag doll and Tilland sat on their shoulders, and Ari had to take out his lightsaber and follow last. saw Yun Ye's body soaring into the air and jumped forward; Countless milky white thoughts gushed out from her body, forming a brilliant glow in front of her.

The cloud leaf is fixed in the air, and his hands are twisted and pulled back. I saw that the thoughts were condensed on her hands, and there was a trace of blue in the white halo. Yun Ye pushed forward with both hands, and the thoughts in his hands roared away.

The thought wave was taller than the trees, and it seemed like there was a blue-blue thunderbolt hidden in it. The circle cracked, the vines flew to ashes, and when the aura dissipated, all that was left was devastation and flickering arcs.

Ivan sighed lightly: "Why are you ......"

Yun Ye ignored it and got up and left first. Ivan shook his head and beckoned to chase after him.

The resounding sound of this thought wave was too loud, and groups of hunters and combatants of the Cultivator Sect rushed in this direction one after another. Seeing that there were more and more people around him, Ivan yelled at Mok, "Mok! ”

Mock stopped, turned back and tapped. The azure magic power gathered in his hands, and it was bitterly cold.

"Frozen ......" Mok sprinkled his right hand in all directions, and magic burst out from his hand, "Thousand miles ......"

The blue-white ice appeared out of thin air, and the turbulent appearance was like a huge wave in the sea. The ice waves rolled in all directions, and in an instant, nearly half of the fallen forest was covered in ice. And the groups of hunters and combatants of the Cultivator Sect around them had already been frozen into ice sculptures.

Then I heard the scream, and several people had arrived. I saw a ragged girl running in a panic, and the leader of the hunters behind her was clearing the ice from her feet.

The girl saw a few people and shouted for help. Pai Yi was also kind-hearted, and hurriedly helped her up and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

"Thank you, thank you, thank you......" The girl was incoherent, sweat dripping from her panicked face.

Pai used magic to heal the girl's wounds and asked, "Are you the only one?" ”

When the girl saw that the wound was healed, she wanted to run away immediately, but at this time she also said honestly: "My younger brothers and sisters are still behind......

"You didn't wait for them and ran away alone?" Pai was amazed, his heart clogged.

"So many people from the Cultivators, so many. Who cares about their lives and deaths, it's good that I can escape, do you want me to go back and die? Somehow, the girl screamed hysterically.

Pai felt his heart clogged up, and he opened his mouth and didn't know how to express it. Ivan and the others seemed to be familiar with this situation, and they were not surprised, but they just watched indifferently.

The girl took a few steps back and said, "Thank you, but I'm leaving, and maybe there are many hunters to come." Thank you, thank you, I'm leaving. After the girl finished speaking, she ran away barefoot as fast as she could, and in the blink of an eye she was gone.

Pai looked in the direction the girl had fled, sighing and speechless.

In the middle of a few people's words, the leader of the hunters had already broken free from the ice block. He looked at a few people, took a light crossbow and said arrogantly: "I also said what is going on." It turns out that a few of you have made a ghost and ruined our good things, what do you say should be ......?"

Ivan looked at the leader of the hunters and shook his head, but still asked, "Have you ever seen a woman wearing a blue robe?" ”

"Lao Tzu goes to and eats more women every day, and I don't know which one you are talking about?" The man stood still, as if waiting for his men.

Ivan's eyes changed and his murderous aura overflowed, and he glanced at the leader of the hunters in disgust, and led the group away.

A few people came out of the frozen area, and Ivan said indifferently to Mok: "All of them, kill!" ”

Mork nodded, his palm mana converging, and flicked it lightly.

"Ice Break!"

When the leader of the hunters saw Ivan and the others running away, he wondered if he was afraid of their cultivators. Suddenly, he felt a pain in his chest, and saw an ice spike emerge from his body, strange and beautiful with blood. Ice spikes continued to emerge from his body, like new sprouts breaking through the bound ground. For a moment, the man was no longer what he was. And those ice sculptures in the forest have also become the soil where shoots break through the soil at this moment. The ice spikes reflect the sunlight, a different kind of scarlet.

The group ran around in the forest for a long time, and suddenly found a corpse not far ahead. The bodies were children, both male and female; But the corpse was incomplete, as if it had been gnawed by something, and it was bloody and abnormal.

"These must be the younger siblings of that girl." Pai wept, his blinking eyes pitiful, "Huh...... May they go to a world without suffering......"

Loud footsteps came from all around. But I saw the hunters of the Cultivator sect, some holding light crossbows, some holding curved bows, some with long knives on their sides, and some with short swords on their bodies; The face with the beak mask radiated excitement.

The group surrounded Ivan and the others, raised their hands high, and shouted something from their mouths. The shouts were excited and crazy.

I saw a bald man behind this group of hunters. This big man has a bear on his back, two meters high; Dressed in heavy black armor, he carries a large blunt weapon in his hand. The big man was shirtless, with a purple-black eye tattooed on his right arm, hideous and terrifying.

Dahan walked up to Ivan and asked arrogantly, "Are you an adventurer from the Silent City?" ”

"Not bad." When Ivan saw the appearance of this big man, he must have been very powerful; He drew his lightsaber and stared.

The big man pointed at Ivan with a blunt object and asked with a smile: "You killed the 'Black Tiger - Gragul'?" ”

"If you're talking about the big tiger who likes to throw his cloak, then I'm the one who killed it." Ivan squinted at the hunters of the Cultivator Sect around him, secretly calculating.

"Hey, I have to thank you." The big man smiled, "If you can survive from my hands, then Lord Ben will let you live." ”

The hunters around him laughed uncontrollably, all encouraged by the big man.

"Good!" Ivan said excitedly.

Bursts of incomprehensible and inaudible shouts came from the mouths of the hunters, rendering the scene strange and bloody.

Ivan leaned forward, raised his sword and swung it, and a moon-white sword qi swayed out from the lightsaber. The sword qi spread like a wave of water, fierce and abnormal, urgent and fast. In the blink of an eye, all the hunters here were cut off.

The internal organs were sprinkled all over the ground, and the large and small intestines were flowing with yellow-green liquid, and the smell of blood was mixed with bursts of foul smell, and the nausea was abnormal. Swarms of insects and ants from nowhere were attracted by the smell of blood and scramble for the delicious fruit.

Tillan pinched his nose and scolded coquettishly: "I've told you, don't use 'breaking the air and pulling out the knife', don't use it." It's okay now, every time I use it, it's like this, and I'm sick to death. ”

Ivan smiled apologetically, and looked at Pai and Ari, who were vomiting on the ground, and was even more embarrassed. He looked back at the big man who was only slightly injured, and said with a smile: "You still have some skills!" ”

The Great Han watched his men being slaughtered, but there was nothing he could do. He couldn't help but be annoyed: "You butcher ......"

"Butcher?" Ivan scoffed, "You cultivators still have the face to say this word? If it were us who died, would you still say that? Righteousness and evil are only in the hands of the last alive. ”

The big man was in a hurry, dragged a blunt object, and rushed forward. Ivan smiled lightly and said to Ari, "Boy, I'll teach you another trick today." ”

I saw the big man's blunt weapon coming in the air. Ivan held the lightsaber in his right hand, and the magic power in his left hand gathered, and the palm of his left hand condensed into a silvery-white, slender blade of light.

Ivan opened the blunt weapon, and the two swords flew in his hands. In a moment, the big man was covered in bruises.

Ivan put away his sword and looked back and explained to Ari: "The method of condensing the sword in the left hand is the same as using magic links, only one is to link the lightsaber, and the other is to link one's own arm, and imagine one's own arm as a lightsaber. ”

Seeing that Ari was about to try, Ivan hurriedly interrupted: "Don't worry, don't worry, there is time for you to play." By the way, this move is called 'Spotlight', and it is a kind of lightsaber mastery of 'Li Ghost Swordsmanship'. ”

The big man got up with blood, threw away the blunt object, and said with a wicked smile: "Let you taste the fear of 'darkness'......"

On the big man's right arm, the purple-black eyes suddenly glowed with a dark purple light. The eyes were like dense rattans, and in an instant, they crawled all over the big man's body.
