"It's the name I made up casually when I signed up for the Lingque Terrace," Ji Chongguang pointed to the face that had become very hideous under Gui Mei's hands, "It is also the owner of this face." β
β¦β¦ That's too casual, right? Also burly...... Why is it so bad taste?
"Let's go, if you don't go again, it's going to be dawn." Ji Chongguang took out a short sword and walked in front, where he passed, he first swept away those strange plants with his sword before he could step over. For example, the bright red flower, as soon as the tip of the sword touched the edge of the petals, the whole flower suddenly closed, and if a person stepped on it directly, it would be wrapped in the whole inside, and slowly become the flower's supper.
Chu Ning followed him and walked along the bumpy path under his feet. Someone in front of her cleared the way for her, so she naturally closed her eyes and activated the soul separation once again.
The whispers that Xue Niannian and her female companions thought were secret entered Chu Ning's ears word for word.
"There are still ten days to go, don't be in a hurry, follow them first, if they hunt something, we will grab it directly, if they don't hunt, just wait until dawn and when they run out of energy, and then go up and teach her a lesson......" seemed to be Gu Caiwei's voice.
"Just let it go, don't be afraid, no one was injured in the spring hunt that year?" This time it seemed to be Xue Niannian's voice.
A sneer appeared on Chu Ning's lips, Xue Niannian was planning to get together a group of people to surround her in this forest and repair it. If you send it to the door yourself, you can't blame her.
By her side, with Ming Xian, an expert in animal beasts, she is very familiar with all kinds of exotic animals, and she can transform into different species at will, and it is actually very easy to find any kind of target. Chu Ning pulled the "Tian Kuiwu" who was bent on opening the way, and motioned him to go around in circles as much as possible.
Xue Niannian's group followed not far away, and they were very energetic at first, knowing that they had to hide their whereabouts carefully. But the farther and farther you go, the more tired you get, these young ladies can't stand it. However, they also met Ji Chongguang, a bad-hearted person, who cleared the road for Chu Ning on the one hand, and stumbled them on the other, and the poisonous plants and thorny branches that were cut down became obstacles left on the soles of their feet.
Gu Caiwei couldn't help but quietly asked: "It seems that they can't find where those prey are, should we find a suitable place to do it?" β
Xue Niannian had already walked with a sore back and weak legs, and lowered his voice and said, "Just ahead, find a flat place." β
The few people who followed behind Xue Niannian all quietly figured out their spells and weapons. Xue Niannian took out his dragon tooth and held it in his hand. Seeing that the two people in front of him had just walked to the open space between the two tall trees, Xue Niannian raised his dragon teeth and stabbed Chu Ning in the neck.
The dragon's teeth shimmered in the moonlight, a little mysterious cold green light. Before he could stab his target, a long roar suddenly sounded in all directions, and a dozen strange beasts with two heads suddenly emerged from the deep darkness.
Xue Niannian recognized that it was the two-headed sealing beast, and he panicked. This kind of sealing beast has a little habit, especially like to eat skewer powder, the more complicated the production, the higher the spiritual power, the more delicious it will be in their eyes. Xue Niannian's dragon teeth are usually placed in the same place with the mantra and the powder, and when he carries it with him, he naturally has the smell of the powder.
Not only that, but all of them carry a large amount of skews on them, ready to use at any time. At this moment, in the eyes of these two-headed beasts, they are simply big steamed buns wrapped in delicious frosting.
A sealing beast had already bared its teeth and pounced straight over, and Xue Nian had no choice but to change the direction of the dragon's teeth in mid-air to resist the sealing beast's already open mouth. Behind this sealing beast, the dozen or so sealing beasts all followed and gathered around, surrounding Xue Niannian and the people she brought in the middle. On the two heads of each sealed beast, one in front of the other, drooling in their mouths, as if they couldn't help but think about where to eat first.
Not far away, Chu Ning shook a branch in his hand and looked at the circle formed by the sealing beast with a smile.
The branch in her hand was broken off when she passed by a shadow tree that was some years old just now. At this time, there was a shadow tree branch to cover her, and the sealed beasts did not notice her.
The Shadow Wood Branch, which can disturb the sense of smell and vision, is the most convenient thing to avoid the ferocious beast, if Xue Niannian is deliberately coming to hunt the sealing beast, he originally wanted to use this thing to protect himself. It's a pity that she only cared about finding an opportunity to teach Chu Ning a lesson, but she forgot about it, and it was too late to think about it at this time.
Xue Niannian was in that smaller and smaller circle, sweating with a dragon's tooth. A few steps away, Chu Ning and the scarred "Tian Kuiwu" were watching with relish, and they also commented a few words from time to time.
"I think she stabbed her back this time, and her movements were still very beautiful."
"Actually, she could have stabbed the one in the lower abdomen, huh...... But there's another one over there. β
Xue Niannian was so angry that she smoked, but she didn't say a word, because she really couldn't spare time, and a dozen sealed beasts were not so easy to deal with.
But after all, she was born in a family of military generals, and these girls were all selected by the Lingque Terrace, and their strength was not bad, and they didn't know how long they were fighting, and those sealed beasts couldn't take advantage of it, so they had to disperse unwillingly and reluctantly, and disappeared into the thick night. This dense forest is their natural best protective color.
Chu Ning glanced at Xue Niannian, who had lost half of his life, and then at the ground, in the melee, there was really a sealed beast killed by them. She shook the shadow wood branch like a fan, walked to the corpse of the sealed beast, and smiled at Ji Chongguang: "What a coincidence, I picked up a sealed beast, and it is already dead, and I don't know who lost it." β
Ji Chongguang nodded and did not speak.
Xue Niannian half sat and half knelt on the ground, his chest fell together, but he really didn't have the strength to stand up. In this vicious battle, it is not easy to get away with it.
Chu Ning took out a knife he carried, cut open the belly of the sealed beast, took out the beast's heart and sealed it with a spell stick, and kept moving in his hand, saying on his lips: "If no one claims it, then I will pick it up." β
She walked up to Xue Niannian again, as if she had really just seen her, and greeted happily: "Yo, such a coincidence." She turned to the other girls: "I have a few words to say to Miss Xue Er, do you want to stay here and listen together, or go back to rest first?" β
Gu Caiwei's eyes rolled a few times, and she barely stood up, not knowing whether she was speaking to Chu Ning or Xue Niannian: "You guys ...... first I, I'm going to find someone......" Then he turned and left.
With Gu Caiwei taking the lead, the others immediately followed suit, and soon walked away.
Chu Ning snapped his fingers at Ming Nian, and Ming Instant obediently took a few rattans, wrapped them around Xue Niannian's hands and feet, and tied her to a big tree. She swept her fingers back and forth a few times on the object hanging from Xue Niannian's waist, and then opened one at random, and inside was a fine spell stick, tied with a ribbon.
She flicked it up, and the sticks were scattered all around. Then, Chu Ning's fingers reached for the next small bag.
"What are you going to do?" Xue Niannian saw that she fell into her hands, but she was not afraid to make trouble, but only asked with a cold face.
"Don't do anything," Chu Ning continued rummaging around her waist, "looking for something that could be used." β
After opening several bags one after another, nothing special, Chu Ning's fingers reached out to a small bag embroidered with peach blossoms.
Seeing which one she was going to take, Xue Niannian's face showed a little panic: "What are you looking for?" My spell has been raised by you, and the powder has been spilled, if you want, my dragon tooth will also be given to you, okay? β
"Who scarces these things from you?" Chu Ning didn't pause at all, and directly took out the peach blossom pattern pouch and opened it, which contained a small pink beetle.
Chu Ning picked up the little worm, put it in his palm and looked at it carefully, a smile appeared on his face, and he whispered to himself: "It turns out that you used this spirit rhinoceros to pass the news between you. β
Xue Niannian's face was as gray as a dead person, she knew that begging or insulting would not be useful to Chu Ning, so she simply shut up and said nothing.
Chu Ning put the spirit rhinoceros on Xue Niannian's index finger, sucked her blood, then put it to his lips and whispered a word. As soon as the hand was raised, the insect spread its wings and flew away.
This kind of spirit rhinoceros is very precious and rare, and there are not many people who can have it in Dongqi. Because it can transmit messages between specific two people, it is often used in the military during wartime. When each spirit rhinoceros grows to maturity, it is a bright red like blood, and the more times it is used, the lighter the eye color will become, and when the color is completely white, it can no longer be used.
The one that flew away just now was already half white, and it seemed that it had not been a day or two since they exchanged news.
Chu Ning hooked the ends of his hair with his fingers and looked at Xue Niannian's face: "It seems that you really like him, and he treats you well, right?" β
Without waiting for Xue Niannian to answer, Chu Ning snapped his fingers at Ming Nian again, and Ming Nian stepped forward and pulled the rattan with his mouth, hanging Xue Niannian high like a puppet.
Seeing that the sky is almost dawn, as soon as the sun rises, this dense forest will be covered with a thick fog, and people will not see anything here, but will only become the target of wild beast attacks in vain, and there is no way to fight back.
Chu Ning beckoned to Ji Chongguang, and Ming instantly obediently followed, returning along the same path.
When he stepped out of the dense wooded realm, the eastern sky was already pink, similar to the color of the spirit rhinoceros from Fang Cai. Chu Ning suddenly stopped, turned to Ji Chongguang and said, "I have a few words, and I also want to talk to you." β
Her voice was extremely soft, and Ji Chongguang didn't hear it clearly for a while, so he bent down slightly and leaned in front of her to listen. Chu Ning coldly pulled out a spell stick and threw it at his chest.
