According to legend, the ancestors of the Xi tribe boasted that their intelligence was higher than that of ordinary demon beasts, and they were unwilling to expose the corpses of the deceased clansmen to the wilderness, so they found a dark and hidden cave to put the deceased clansmen in. After a long time, the rats would enter the forbidden place alone before they died, find a clearing place, and lie quietly waiting for death.

The fur of the rat is tough and does not rot for 10,000 years. The flesh and blood of the dead rats will turn into liquid and flow into the soil within ten days, and the skin and bones will slowly dry over a long period of time. The entire forbidden land, except for being extremely eerie and terrifying, has no other shortcomings.

Shu Li's ancestors and grandsons needed to cross the entire forbidden land to reach the northwest corner.

They passed by the bodies of their ancestors one after another, and even with their grandmother on the side to encourage them, Shu Li inevitably shivered a little.

Walking more than half the way in fear, Shu Li was attracted by a familiar breath, and the breath lingered beside Shu Li for a long time.

"Grandmother, I sense my mother is nearby." There are the remains of rats with the shape of a cow everywhere, and they are dusty, and they can't see the difference, but Shu Li is very sure that her mother is here.

"No, don't go!" Xi Ning walked a few steps forward ruthlessly: "Child, go quickly!" ”

Shu Li didn't understand why Xi Ning was running away, she only felt that her mother was calling her, and she really wanted to meet her, even if she was dead.

Why can't Xi Ning feel that his daughter is here? But he had no choice but to turn back and drag her away with Shu Li's back hair.

Then along the way, Xi Ning dragged Shu Li, who struggled twice from time to time, without saying a word.

Although Shu Li was very uncomfortable being carried by her, she didn't dare to resist, she believed that her grandmother Xi Ning would not harm herself.

When he arrived at the northwest corner, Xi Ning silently let go. She found the corner she knew, pinched a spell in her hand, and a one-foot-wide crack in the stone appeared in front of them.

Shu Li visually measured the width of the stone crack below, and then measured his body shape, which was a little difficult.

"Let's go inside."

"......" Shu Li is physically and mentally resistant, and she doesn't need to try to know that with her current figure, she will definitely not be able to squeeze in!

Xi Ning hugged Shu Li and pushed her to the crack in the stone.

With a "poof", Shu Li's body shrank the moment it touched the stone wall, and passed through it without hindrance.

"This formation can shrink your body and help you pass through the stone crack smoothly, don't worry, the inside of the stone crack has been expanded by me, enough for you to pass through."

After speaking, Xi Ning also got in.

While guiding Shu Li to sneak through the darkness, she pinched the law to seal the retreat, and once again hid the stone crack at the entrance.

The stone crack was originally the most ordinary narrow gap, but after Xi Ning's expansion, a passage was formed, and the stone wall was covered with claw marks, which can be seen that Xi Ning used his claws to expand and repair little by little. Although digging a hole in the mountain is a trivial matter for a rat, such a large project is really rare. It seems that Xi Ning has not wasted the ten years that Xi Liangyun has been locked up in the forbidden land.

The rat was born with the ability to see clearly in the dark, and Shu Li walked slowly along the passage in front.

And Xi Ning just followed, and said calmly: "Xi Rat will not decay after death, and the flesh and blood will turn into a blood-red liquid within ten days." Powerful demon beasts like to catch rats, drink flesh and blood after killing, and plot the meager blood of beast gods in rats. Therefore, the ancestors of the Xi clan made a rule, ordering all the transformed clansmen to enter the forbidden land when they died, and not to die outside, to prevent the blood of the beast god in the flesh and blood from flowing out. However, there are also rats who believe that this flesh and blood should not be wasted in this forbidden cave, and should be put to good use. ”

Xi Ning accentuated the tone of the last sentence.

Shu Li thought of something instantly, and a chill rose in her heart.

"Xi Chi and his son can ruthlessly take away your mother's cultivation, what is the flesh and blood after death? Xi Liangyun doesn't pay attention to female rats, so I'm lucky that I can take you away, but your mother's flesh and blood still have some effect, and they won't waste it......"

Xi Ning's voice was full of sadness, as if every word was scraping his heart like a sharp blade: "I didn't go to worship your mother because I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to control the hatred in my heart when I saw that scene." Child, grandmother has a more important mission on her shoulders, and now is not the time to be pushy! ”

"Does the Great Elder care?" Shu Li asked.

"The Xi clan is no longer as glorious as it used to be, and Xi Chi is currently the most potential Xi rat ...... in the clan."

The Great Elder probably acquiesced to this time. After all, this is not a human world, and the survival of the fittest is the rule of the game here.

Thinking of this, Shu Li silently walked forward along the passage.

The passage was up and down, and she didn't know where it would lead, but Shu Li believed that the end of the passage must be a safe, warm place to go, because she had a great grandmother. She also believes that under the guidance of her grandmother, her path in this world will be smooth and bright!

After walking for a long time, Shu Li didn't feel tired, she felt that she should say something, so she said lightly: "Grandmother, I will avenge my mother." ”

Xi Ning also replied lightly: "Okay." ”

The only sound of their footsteps remained in the cracks in the stone, and nothing else.

At this time, it was probably dawn outside the mountain. The passage flattened a little, and it wasn't long before they came to an open field.

It was a stone chamber of more than ten square meters.

"This is your temporary residence."

Although the walls of the stone chamber are very flat, there are familiar claw marks on them, which were also excavated by Xi Ning.

"The passage on the other side of the stone chamber leads to the cliff on the north side of the Fog Spirit Mountain, and you are too young to climb up from the cliff, so you can only stay here for the time being. The Great Elder has arranged for our ancestors and grandchildren very well, and I only need to show up at the beginning of each month to go to the Hinatamur to get some supplies to dispel the doubts of others. ”

Xi Ning took out a soft and warm futon from the Sumeru ring and spread it on the ground: "The north side of Wuling Mountain often does not see sunlight, it is very cold, although there are not many demon beasts, but the strength is strong, and the perception is also very keen, you must not run out indiscriminately." ”

Shu Li looked at this stone chamber hidden deep in the mountain, full of security, and nodded obediently: "Grandmother, don't worry, I will stay here obediently and won't run around." ”

In fact, Xi Ning was too worried. Shu Li is most afraid of the cold, when she was a man, she couldn't wait to go to work with the heating every winter, and now she is a demon beast, although her skin is rough and her flesh is thick, but this half a year's pampering makes her hate the cold even more.

After laying out the futon, Xi Ning took out a fiery red demon crystal.

The demon crystal was the size of a bowl, two meters away from Shu Li, and Shu Li could feel the heat that was constantly emanating from it.
