On a wide forest path, two figures walked side by side.

Yun Yuan was a little impatient, and said to Li Mengchun on the side: "Brother Meng Chun, we've been walking for half a month, why haven't we even seen a figure, will we go in the wrong direction?"

Li Mengchun raised his eyebrows, not knowing how to explain, and said with a dry smile: "This..."

"Do you want to look at the map again?" Yun Yuan said, and a quaint map appeared in his hand.

Li Mengchun nodded, took the map, stared at the markings on the map, raised his head again, looked around, rubbed his chin and said, "If the markings on the map are correct, there should be a lake near here." ”

"Then as long as we find that lake, it can mean that this is the direction leading to Ning City, right?" Yun Yuan showed an excited expression when he heard the lake.

You must know that these two people have been on the road for half a month, and there is almost no time to stop and rest halfway. It would be great if there was a lake where they could wash themselves and relax.

Li Mengchun nodded heavily, and a smile finally appeared on his face after half a month, "If you find that lake, it will not be far from this Ning City, just let us take a break and adjust our state." ”

But Yun Yuan suddenly thought of something, his face froze, and he said with a smile: "But, what if we don't find that lake." ”

As soon as Yun Yuan's words came out, the smile on Li Mengchun's face gradually disappeared.

Both men bowed their heads at the same time and fell silent, not knowing what to say.

The surroundings were very quiet, and the faint sound of the breeze blowing through the leaves could be faintly heard.

"Ah——!h

"What sound?" Yun Yuan looked puzzled as he looked in the direction where the scream was coming from.

"It looks like someone has been killed. Li Mengchun scratched his head, narrowed his eyes, and said softly.

"Then what should we do, do you want to run first?" Yun Yuan also said softly.

Li Mengchun shook his head and said, "When the road is uneven, draw a knife to help, let's go, let's go over and take a look." With that, he cautiously walked into the woods.

Seeing this, Yun Yuan pulled out the black long sword behind his back and slashed at the grass next to him, cutting off four branches with leaves.

He reinserted the long sword into the scabbard on his back, picked up the branch on the ground, and said to Li Mengchun in front of him: "Brother Meng Chun, disguise!

Li Mengchun patted his head and said, "It's still thoughtful!" Then he hung one branch on his head, and put the other in front of his face, bent over, and walked lightly in that direction.

Yun Yuan looked at his funny appearance, lowered his head and smiled, put the two branches on top of his head, and after hiding the silver bun, he also followed lightly.

······

The two of them walked one after the other, and after walking for a while, the terrain in front of them became steep, and they slowed down and walked slowly.

At this time, Li Mengchun in front of Yun Yuan suddenly let out an exclamation.

"Wow!" Li Mengchun's eyes lit up, staring at the surface of the lake in front of him that was blocked by trees and only a small piece was exposed, and sighed in a low voice, "There is really a lake here, we are not far from Ningcheng!"

Yun Yuan behind him was very excited when he heard it, and he couldn't wait, but when he walked forward, his steps were a little bigger, and he didn't step steadily, and he slid directly down the slope.

"Ah——! Brother Meng Chun, save me!" Yun Yuan shouted loudly.

And Li Mengchun didn't react at all, as soon as he turned his head, with a puzzled expression, Yun Yuan slid into the grass below with a "whoosh" from his side, and disappeared without a trace.

"Yun Yuan!" Li Mengchun was so excited that he almost didn't stand firm, and then he used the Xuan Qi in his body, gathered at his feet, and ran down quickly.

Yun Yuan slid down the slope and rolled a few times in the clearing by the lake.

"Oh, it hurts, my ass—" He grumbled, patted the dust off his body, and just as he was about to stand up and take a look at the scenery around him, his eyes glanced at him, his movements stopped, and he froze in place.

In the shade of a big tree not far in front of Yun Yuan, there were two beautiful figures, and the two of them looked almost the same, as if they were twins.

Their faces were facing Yun Yuan, and two pairs of big eyes were staring at Yun Yuan motionlessly, looking at the leafy branches above his head, looking confused.

One of the women, wrapped in a white cloth, sneezed. Next to them was a set of wet clothes, which were roasted on the fire.

"Boom, boom, boom" The grass where Yun Yuan slipped down shook again, Li Mengchun hurriedly ran out, and when he saw Yun Yuan sitting on the ground, his heart was overjoyed.

"Are you okay?" Li Mengchun saw that Yun Yuan was not moving, thinking that he was injured, so he hurriedly ran over, squatted down, and just took his hand and wanted to put his hand on his neck, when he noticed that someone was looking at him.

As soon as he turned his head, he was also stunned.

The two women looked at the green branches above their heads suspiciously, as if they had misunderstood something.

"Ah——!" The scream sounded again just now, and a touch of red appeared on the face of the woman wrapped in a white cloth, and she shouted at Yun Yuan and the two: "Hooligans!"

After speaking, her left hand stretched forward, and the mysterious qi in her hand continued to gather, and a green longbow instantly took shape and appeared in her hand.

The green longbow seemed to be of no lower grade, and it exuded a green glow.

The woman held the bow tightly in her left hand, and the green light on the bow slowly dissipated.

She held the bow in front of her, raised her right hand parallel to her shoulder, and gently tapped her thumb, index finger, and middle finger together, and the Xuan Qi gathered in the middle of the three fingers, and thin green light appeared at both ends of the bow through the three fingers, and a green arrow gradually took shape from between the fingers and stood in the middle of the bow.

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!" Yun Yuan hurriedly shouted.

"Stinky rascal, give me death!" the woman shouted, and with a tap of her finger, the green arrow burst out, bringing a gust of wind and flying towards the two of them.

Li Mengchun saw that the situation was not good, and the mysterious qi in his hand gathered, and a long stick with sharp spikes at both ends took shape in an instant.

The long stick was bright white all over, and a faint light emanated, but compared to the green bow, it was obviously a notch lower.

Although the origin device is only divided into nine grades, each product of the origin device is still differentiated, and it is divided into three orders: upper, middle and lower according to the energy contained in the origin device.

Li Mengchun stood up, holding the stick with both hands, looking at the menacing green arrow, the Xuan Qi in his body surged, and frantically injected into the long stick in his hand.

The long stick flashed with white light, and then Li Mengchun's body moved, and he swung it violently, hitting the green arrow hard.

With a "boom", the green arrow was hit and turned into a little green light and dissipated into the air.

"You!" the woman saw that her attack had been defused, a look of anger appeared on her delicate face, and the longbow in her hand moved, and just as she was about to shoot another arrow, another woman stretched out her hand and stopped her in front of her.

"Sister, don't make a fuss!" the woman's tone was slightly serious.

After hearing this, the longbow in her hand slowly dissipated, turned into a faint green Xuan Qi, and flew back into her body.

"Humph!" she crossed her hands over her chest, snorted coldly, and turned away.

"My name is Gu Zilin, and this is my sister Gu Qingying. You two, I don't know where they came from?" Gu Zirin asked with a smile on his face and in a gentle tone.

Yun Yuan looked at the smile on her face, couldn't help but feel a little cool, and said cautiously: "We just heard a scream not far from here, thinking that someone was killed, so we followed the sound. ”

"It was my sister who accidentally fell into the water and let out that exclamation, I'm sorry to disturb you. But I don't know, what are the green branches and willows on your heads do..."Gu Zilin pursed her lips and smiled, pointed to the green branches on the heads of Yun Yuan and the others, and asked.

Li Mengchun didn't wait for her to finish, laughed dryly, and quickly explained: "This is for fear of encountering danger, so let's disguise it." ”

"Oh, is it?" Gu Zirin's head tilted slightly, still skeptical of them.

Yun Yuan scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my bad idea." ”

"Hmph, it's obviously a stinky hooligan, full of lies!" Gu Qingying turned her head to look at them and snorted coldly.

"Miss Gu doesn't have to be so aggressive, let's just go!" Li Mengchun frowned, obviously uncomfortable with Gu Qingying's words.

Before the words fell, he pulled up Yun Yuan on the ground, turned around and was about to leave.

Gu Zirin looked at them and suddenly said, "Are you also here to participate in the Ningcheng City Competition?"

Yun Yuan turned his head and shouted excitedly, "Yes..."

Before he could say the word "ah", he was interrupted by Li Mengchun.

Li Mengchun said coldly: "What do you have to do with it?"

Gu Zilin shook her head helplessly, and said gently: "What happened just now is our fault first, why don't you rest here with us first, and go to Ningcheng together tomorrow, so you can take care of it, what do you two think?"

Yun Yuan hurriedly turned around and said, "Okay!"

Then he secretly said to Li Mengchun: "Anyway, we won't lose a piece of meat if we stay here, and we can enjoy it in this lake at night, how about it?"

Li Mengchun looked at the sun that was about to set on the mountain, his heart moved, and he secretly thought: "Yes, this lake is not their home." ”

"Then I thanked the girl for her kindness. Then he sat down in the shade of a large tree beside him.

"Hey, hey!" Yun Yuan smiled and waved at a clearing, the black ring on his finger glowed, and then a small room appeared on the ground, and it kept getting bigger.

In the blink of an eye, an extravagant house took shape.

"Brother Meng Chun, let's stay here tonight!" Yun Yuan walked into the room with a smile on his face.

Li Mengchun looked embarrassed, stood up, shouted, "It's so nice to be rich!" and walked towards the house.

When Gu Zilin and Gu Qingying, who were not far away, saw it, their hearts moved, and their faces were shocked.

Gu Zirin looked at the extravagant room, lowered her head and muttered, "Who is this young man in black?"
