Next to a fire at night in the Mountain of No Return, it seemed that because of Sun Meng's eccentricity, the originally depressed atmosphere couldn't help but become a little more active, Ji Hao and Sun Wu continued to talk about some dispensable topics, and Liuchen and several other men from the demon hunting team also put aside their worries and took a few sips of wine.

"Brother Sun, do you know why the beast tide suddenly broke out in the mountains of no return? Today, Ji Hao happened to see the advance of the beast tide, and he was a little shocked. ”

Tightening the package behind his back, Ji Hao suddenly remembered the torrent of demon beasts he had encountered not long ago, and he became curious for a while.

"The little brother is so bold that he dares to approach the path of the beast tide alone. In fact, in places like the Mountain of No Return where a large number of demon clans gather, the beast tide is not uncommon.

According to the city lords of several nearby big cities, the outbreak of the demon beast tide is generally due to the abnormal movement of the demon beast overlord in the area, and the coercion belonging to the beast emperor drives the low-grade demon beasts to flee outward.

But some people also say that the beast tide is the demon beast overlord who took the initiative to ask these low-grade demon beasts to form a group and cause a riot on the periphery of the Mountain of No Return, so as to confuse the eyes of human warriors. ”

Beside Ji Hao, Sun Wu, who was fiddling with the fire with a wooden stick, was shocked at first when he heard this, and then replied after pondering for a moment.

Hearing this, Ji Hao thought for a moment and nodded slightly, being able to drive so many low-grade demon beasts to act together, then the driver of this beast tide must also be the strength of the Nirvana Realm, and such strength is also known as the Beast Emperor among the demon beasts of the Five Domains.

Recalling the orderly order of the demon beast torrent when he met the beast tide, Ji Hao frowned slightly, and still felt that the second guess was more appropriate, the sudden beast tide of the Mountain of No Return, I am afraid that there is really a demon beast beast emperor with no low strength in the back.

"Little brother, don't worry, no matter what happens to the beast tide, at least so far, the beast tide riots within the five domains are all caused by the demon beasts of the four realms of the flesh, and the great demon of the Nirvana realm has never made a move, and even if the beast emperor really intervenes, the peak power of my human race will not sit idly by.

If I expected it to be true, at this time, the periphery of the Mountain of No Return has also been inspected by the elders of the Qingyang Hall and the Sword Cliff, let's be careful tomorrow, as long as we don't encounter the demon beasts of the Divine Mansion Realm, this trip out of the mountain should be very easy. ”

Seeing Ji Hao's sad face, Sun Wu thought for a moment, but then opened his mouth to persuade him.

Hearing this, a little light flashed in Ji Hao's eyes, according to what the patriarch's grandfather said, the Qingyang Palace is the one vein of the Ji family in Ming to attract the attention of the enemy, if you really encounter a problem that cannot be solved, you can ask for help or two.

Next to the fire, Sun Wu, who had already put down the wooden stick in his hand, secretly observed Ji Hao's reaction with the rest of his eyes, and saw that Ji Hao heard the three words of Qingyang Palace, and the sudden light in his eyes was bright, Sun Wu sighed softly, but he was more and more sure of his guess.

Ji Hao must be a disciple of the Ji family who traveled out of Qingyang Hall this generation.

The night was getting deeper and deeper, and as the conversation under the cover of the night came to an abrupt end, the red glow of the fire reflected the tiredness on the faces of everyone in the demon hunting team, except for the two members of the demon hunting team who were still keeping vigil at the edge of the fire, Liuchen and the others slowly fell asleep back to back.

Ji Hao casually inserted the long sword behind his back into the ground, and began to close his eyes and fall asleep in a meditative posture.

However, a moment later, in the dense forest of the Mountain of No Return at this time, in addition to the snoring of several men in Liuchen, only the sound of firewood cracking in the fire from time to time signaled the passage of time.

......

The next day, with a crisp birdsong sounding in the canopy of the tree, Ji Hao opened his eyes, looked up at the misty sky, pulled out the dark iron sword on the ground, and gently moved his muscles and bones.

Because he only has a superficial understanding of Sun Wu and others, Ji Hao did not fall asleep like Liuchen and others last night, but has been pretending to sleep to recuperate, fortunately, the people who cultivate martial arts are full of blood and blood, even if Ji Hao just rested for one night, he felt refreshed at the moment.

"Brother Ji Hao, you wake up, clean up, we're leaving. ”

Seeing Ji Hao wake up, Liuchen, who was stretching his waist, turned his head and smiled, and said to Ji Hao.

"The old rule, before I go, the Liuchen brothers will go last, and the rest of the Reclamation Realm martial artists should be careful, don't be taken away by demon beasts on the way back to make snacks.

In addition, Brother Ji Hao and Meng'er walked in the middle, so it was better to deal with me and Liuchen. ”

Sun Wu, who had packed the package, glanced around, saw that everyone had woken up, smiled heartily at a few people from the demon hunting team, and then looked at Ji Hao and said.

"Good. ”

When Ji Hao heard this, he also nodded slightly, this time he really needs Sun Wu and others to lead the way, and it is not difficult to help him take care of several martial artists of the demon hunting team.

Seeing Ji Hao nodding, Sun Wu waved his hand to signal everyone to gather. On the side, Sun Meng, who was taking small steps, carried a thin sword at his waist and walked slowly to Ji Hao's side.

"Yesterday's life-saving grace, Meng'er thanks to Ji Gongzi. ”

Sun Meng raised his head, his eyes gently swept Ji Hao, who was about the same height as himself, and then lowered his head and said in a low voice.

"Miss Sun Meng doesn't have to be polite, you and I are close in age, and our martial arts cultivation is similar, so the girl should call me Ji Hao." ”

Carrying the Xuantie long sword behind his back, Ji Hao heard Sun Meng's voice and responded with a smile.

"Well, Ji Hao, Miss Sun Meng is not good, you still call me Meng'er. ”

Hearing Ji Hao's words, Sun Meng's big eyes flashed a little shy, and he still said with a red face.

"Alright, Miss Meng'er, let's go. ”

When Ji Hao heard this, he didn't seem to notice Sun Meng's shyness at all, smiled at Sun Meng, and then took a step and began to follow Sun Wu and the others.

"Good. ”

When Ji Hao's words fell, Sun Meng responded imperceptibly, and then followed Ji Hao's pace closely.

It seems that because Sun Wu really knows the outlying area of the Mountain of No Return very well, the group of spirit beast hunting team had few twists and turns on the next way out of the mountain, and only a few demon beasts that moved the mountain realm were quickly beheaded under the action of Sun Wu and Liuchen, turning into piles of spiritual materials.

"Whew, everyone, we're out of the mountains. ”

About two or three hours passed, Ji Hao followed Sun Wu and the others to finally walk out of the endless dense forest, and caught a glimpse of the Taoist figure being repaired in the open space in front of the dense forest.

Ji Hao looked up, and what he saw was an extremely wide flat land, on which there were many temporary wooden houses and tents, and it was obvious that this was a place to repair before the mountain of no return.

"Brother Ji Hao, when we get here, we will be out of the Mountain of No Return, we will go to the nearest city to sell the Demon Pill in Qingcheng, if Brother Ji Hao has other arrangements, then we will probably have to separate here." ”

After leaving the Mountain of No Return, as everyone loosened their tense heartstrings, Sun Wu smiled and turned back to Ji Hao and asked.

"Qingcheng? It just so happens that I am also going, if Brother Sun Wu does not dislike it, how about taking the younger brother for another ride. ”

Ji Hao thought for a moment when he heard this, and decided to follow Sun Wu and the others to Qingcheng. Although Ji Tianlan had told Ji Hao that the final destination of this trip was the Southern Regions before leaving the mountain, Ji Hao knew nothing about the road from the Eastern Regions to the Southern Regions, and it was undoubtedly the safest to go to the nearest Qingcheng outside the Mountain of No Return to inquire about the news.

Moreover, judging from Sun Wu's tone, the Lingwu Demon Hunting Team was obviously extremely familiar with Qingcheng, and following them could avoid a lot of trouble.

"Okay, in that case, little brother Ji Hao, let's go on another trip. ”

When Sun Wu heard this, he glanced at Sun Meng beside Ji Hao with a faint look in his eyes, and saw that Sun Meng's big eyes were full of joy because of Ji Hao's decision to go to Qingcheng with him and others, Su Wu smiled helplessly, and still responded to Ji Hao.

"In this case, we will not stay in this repaired place, Qingcheng is still some distance away from this place, we continue to move forward, and strive to reach Qingzhou City before sunset. ”

Now that Ji Hao had made a decision, Sun Wu didn't say more, turned around and nodded lightly towards Liuchen and the others, and then took the lead towards the southwest.

Seeing this, Ji Hao was also about to set off with Sun Wu, but as soon as the young man took a step, he suddenly noticed a sense of oppression behind him, Ji Hao raised his eyebrows coldly, and subconsciously looked back.

As Ji Hao turned around, he found that there was no figure behind him, and although he was full of doubts in his heart, Ji Hao still turned his head to keep up with Sun Wu and the others.

And just when Ji Hao and the Spirit Beast Demon Hunter Team had just left, the place that Ji Hao had just looked at was actually in the place where there was nothing in his life. A moment later, a middle-aged man pouring a wine jug appeared out of thin air, the middle-aged man was draped in loose clothes, and a long sword was hanging casually from his waist, first looking at the depths of the Mountain of No Return with a complicated expression, and then looking at the direction Ji Hao left with a sympathetic expression.

"After years of past, thousands of years of dormancy are all empty talk, what will happen in the future?"

The middle-aged man raised his head, took a sip of wine from the wine jug in his hand, and then sighed lightly in his misty eyes, and muttered to himself.

At the same time, just when Ji Hao was hesitating towards Qingcheng, in front of the boundary gate of the Ji clan of the Mountain of No Return, about thirty or so figures were all standing in the air, and the first one of them looked indifferent, silently looking at the empty space in front of him.

Beside him, an old man in a black robe held a spear in both hands, the spear was overflowing, and from time to time it exuded a magnificent energy, and the energy was scattered, and the figure of the thirty figures hanging in the air in the dense forest was actually a little unstable by the impact.

And in front of the indifferent man at the head, under the impact of the spear's energy, there were faint waves out of thin air, and between these waves, a dark portal gradually loomed.

......

The scorching sun hanging on the horizon has come to an end at some point, the red sunset appears in the sky, and above the twilight of the remnant sun, Ji Hao, who has been hurrying repeatedly, has already stopped.

In front of Ji Hao at this time, a city wall is about 100 meters high, and the majestic city with a width of no less than 10,000 meters stands impressively.

On the horizontal plaque, there are only two blood-red characters side by side.

Qingcheng.
