Chapter 264: No Return to Death - Concern (I)
"Why do you like Jade Ice?"
Hearing Yan Zheng's inquiry, Qiu Jiu'er really wanted to seal his mouth, but it was not easy for him not to think about Yu Bing.
At this time, the two of them were sitting in a simple underground stronghold to fill their stomachs.
This stronghold was located ten meters underground, and due to the intense consumption of spiritual power penetrating the entity, it was almost impossible for fifth-order undead to discover this stronghold. Yan Zheng's own work is quite good, the stronghold is similar to a 'cave', the four walls are flattened by yellow mud and then burned dry, silky and unimaginably smooth.
But Fan Yubing's craftsmanship is half as good as Yan Zheng, and the Zhuju Xiaoyuan where she was recuperating at the beginning will not be repaired repeatedly due to leakage and rain.
What's good about Yubing? Bad temper, bad character, impulsive, domineering, pestering, and not pleasing people.
"Hey, why don't you answer?"
Qiu Jiu'er said calmly, "You mentioned him several times, you pay a lot of attention to Yubing?" ”
"Hmph, I just want to know how you got tricked by him!" Yan Zheng's face was full of indignation, "Yu Bingfeng, this person is arrogant and irritable, and he always thinks that no one in the world can be better. Forget about his own stinky fart, you can't imagine how badly he played me in the past... Ran outside Bichuan to learn business with the elder, and after returning, he put on a sanctimonious gentleman's posture, phew, others were fascinated by him, Lao Tzu knows best what kind of virtue he is. ”
…… This is not the Yu Bing she knows at all.
Qiu Jiu'er was stunned for a moment, and then grabbed the details and asked, "You call him Yu Bingfeng?" So you've known Yubing for a long time? ”
It's not just a long time. When he was a child, he was brought into the Bichuan Mountains for training, and then he became the second son's companion and sparring partner, and he was pressed and beaten for several years. Is this also the reason why the bad fate continues to this day?
"Uh, uh-huh......" Yan Zheng scratched his head, "It's kind of small." ”
"Yin and Yin are small, but the relationship is so bad?"
"You haven't answered my question yet, why do you like Yubing?"
Qiu Jiu'er replied as she spread the thick rice on the haystack, "No woman hates Yu Bing." Rest, you've talked enough along the way. ”
"Hey, you?!"
"Don't wake me up for three hours, unless you can't do it yourself." ”
"You've slept too long, haven't you?!"
Yan Zheng was helpless, so he had to control the fire and dim the fire, and meditated himself.
*****
Although there is no daylight in the Ghost Locust Forest, the night is undoubtedly more terrifying. Ghosts wandered slowly in the darkness without five fingers, and there always seemed to be something hidden in the shadow of the ghost locust tree under the firelight. Once people lose their time, they will unconsciously feel fear, and cultivators still have 'spiritual power vision', but without light, they can be stunned.
Three and a half hours passed, and Qiu Jiu'er slowly opened his eyes. For a moment she thought she had lost her shadows, and there was nothing but darkness in front of her.
She sat up in a panic, the bump of straw coming from under her palm. After hurriedly transmitting the magic power into the magic guide lamp, it re-illuminated the small stronghold.
Yan Zheng fell asleep, and the fire was extinguished, no wonder it was dark.
But it seems that the fire has been extinguished for a long time, why didn't Yan Zheng refill the firewood before going to bed? Oh, by the way, he has mental power, and it's not cold here, so it doesn't matter to him whether he continues the fire or not.
In retrospect, in the past, at night, Yu Bing also liked to extinguish the firelight of the Warm Ice Hall and the Bamboo Garden, or let the orb take off the Night Yin Orb early; Whenever the dwelling was dark, he had to shout his name and grope for him, while he stared at him silently in the dark.
Many small details can reflect his 'badness', maybe Yan Zheng's evaluation of him is right......
Qiu Jiu'er shook her head, this is not good, why did she start thinking about Yubing again?
"Hmm......"
Yan Zheng also woke up with sleepy eyes, lying on his side to ask Qiu Jiu'er's next plan.
Qiu Jiu'er unfolded the map of the realm of no return.
"We're probably here now. It is expected that three more bases will be needed, here, here...... As well as here. But I'm going to go and get a sample of the soil branches and trees in the northeast first, and give you two choices, go deeper with me, or take the Heming Jade Talisman to the periphery and wait for me. ”
As a man, it would be immoral to leave a woman alone. Yan Zheng just wanted to speak, but Qiu Jiu'er said first, "It is recommended that you choose the latter, because I can't guarantee your safety when I encounter a revenant soul above the seventh order." ”
"Seventh Order...... Lord-level revenants? Damn, is there such a perverted thing in this forest......"
Qiu Jiu'er continued, "Besides, your fire magic is not suitable for playing in a forest environment, and it is easy to attract more 'unclean' things. ”
"I understand, I'll go, bring it with Mingyufu, and Lao Tzu will go to the periphery to cut down monsters."
Qiu Jiu'er secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The two climbed the wooden ladder one after another, and set up the shrubs for camouflage. Yan Zheng was supported by Qiu Jiu'er to the southern meeting point, while Qiu Jiu'er continued to march westward.
The farther west you go, the closer you are to the middle of the world, the lower the survival rate.
Seeing Yan Zheng disappear, Qiu Jiu'er took out the robe of the night and put it on. She put away the magic lantern and pulled out the blue phosphorus torch for disguise; Similar ghost fires are especially common in the Ghost Locust Forest, and do not alert the undead.
Qiu Jiu'er was very nervous, and the hideous ghost face staggered past her, and its expression was as painful as if it was dying of constipation. As the bodies of the various revenants became more and more condensed and their expressions became richer, Qiu Jiu'er realized that she had gone deep into it to a considerable extent.
"Shhh
Qiu Jiu'er was startled, and looked down to see that he had stepped on a poisonous snake. The fifth-order Death Flower Snake is more afraid than her, Qiu Jiu'er is silent and soulless, and it is an unknown species outside the scope of the Flower Snake's cognition. I saw that the black and yellow long drive quickly twisted and soon disappeared.
There is no need to be vigilant against demonic beasts, they live in this kind of ghost place, they will only be more vigilant, and they will not attack as a last resort. 'Beware of the trees' - this was the advice Cell's advice to her.
The phosphorus fire flickered and dimmed, and Qiu Jiu'er squatted on the ground to collect some soil, and then went deeper......
*****
It is not the second day of the first month, in the morning
"I'm glad I found this cave, otherwise I'd have been annoyed to death by the damn Cloud Swallowing Eagle...... Ay? Yubing Gongzi, are you awake? It's too early. ”
Passers-by A and B who were keeping vigil greeted Yu Bing respectively, but Yu Bing only responded lightly and was not enthusiastic.
Passerby Yi pretended to be bold and said, "Senior Brother Yubing, you just stare at it as soon as you rest, whose soul lamp is this, is it necessary to be so nervous?" ”
Passerby A stabbed B's arm and said, "Less talk, when will the person that Childe cares about get us to interject and ask." ”
At this time, the calmly burning soul fire suddenly shook, and Yu Bing's expression immediately changed, so frightened that passers-by A and B immediately smeared oil on the soles of their feet.
Although the Soul Lamp is very similar to a candle, it will not be moved by the external environment, even if it is a level 10 hurricane. The lamp is connected to the human soul, and only when the soul is shaken, the soul fire will move; If you fall asleep or faint, the Soul Fire will be weakened by a circle.
What's wrong with the wine? Hurt?
Yu Bing's heart was pounding, and even though the soul fire quickly returned to normal, his brows were still frowning.
"Senior Brother Twilight, whose soul lamp is that?"
The elites of the Chamber of Commerce in Yubing's team were all very curious, and surrounded the twilight clouds, their eyes full of gossip.
Twilight Cloud let out a long sigh, "There is only one lover of Senior Brother Yubing. ”
"Is it really the one who hates wine?"
"But the former son of Wuji Hall didn't speak for him that day......"
A female cultivator looked at the life soul lamp in Yu Bing's hand jealously and said, "If you can be so concerned by Yu Bing's son, I am willing to die." ”
