Chen Xiao didn't notice her daughter's behavior, looked at the pool and smiled: "When I went into the water, I saw a lot of shadows swimming under the water, presumably there are a lot of fatty fish in this pool, and it is better to fight one tail a day than to eat dry food all day long." Since leaving Manniu Village, Chen Xiao hasn't fished for a long time, and he can't help but feel a slight itch when he thinks of this.

Zhong Li smiled and said, "The climate at the bottom of the valley is suitable, and the dense forests are all over the place, maybe you can pick some wild fruits, and in the future, you will be responsible for fishing, and I will be responsible for picking fruits, okay?"

"Good!"

Chen Xiao looked at the surrounding environment, and saw that not far to the east of the waterhole was a green grassland, the terrain was flat and wide, and he turned his head to Zhong Li and said, "It's not a long-term solution to sleep outside like this, so I'll build a wooden house there and make it a temporary place for the princess." ”

"Well, then there's Mr. Lao. ”

Chen Xiao was about to go to the woods to cut some wood, Zhongli Wanyang hesitated for a moment and said, "In the future, the prince doesn't have to call me a princess, just call Wanyang." ”

Chen Xiao was slightly stunned, and then nodded lightly and said, "Okay, then you can also call me Chen Xiao in the future." ”

"Hmm. Zhongli's gentle voice was inaudible.

With the Wind King Pestle and other elements, Chen Xiao is the easiest to cut wood, and with a swipe, he will turn a giant tree into a neat and sturdy wood, and the wooden house is built very quickly, and in less than two days, a wooden house that is not exquisite has stood on the cyan grass.

Chen Xiao looked at his masterpiece and nodded with satisfaction, and said to Zhong Li proudly, "What do you think of this house?"

Zhong Li raised his eyes with a shallow smile, and said lightly: "It's not bad, it's much better than I imagined." ”

She walked around the wooden house, looked up at the sky again, and said, "Fortunately, the weather here has not changed, if the wind and rain are strong, you need to go to the forest to take shelter." ”

Chen Xiao touched his nose in embarrassment, Zhongli Wanyang had already burst out laughing, Chen Xiao looked at the wooden house that was leaking light everywhere, and couldn't help laughing.

Chen Xiao made two simple wooden beds, two wooden chairs and a wooden table, and set up a baffle between the beds to separate himself from Zhongli's graceful wooden bed.

Zhongli Wanyang wiped and dried the cut grass, and sewed two futons from the bright red cloth in the storage ring, this simple wooden house gradually took on the appearance of "home", but none of them noticed that in the shadow of the trees in the distance, there was a pair of gray eyes that had been observing everything they were doing, and it had not stopped for several days.

Time flies, a month has passed in a blink of an eye, Chen Xiao and Zhong Li Wanyang fish and pick fruits every day, and they practice and learn in their spare time, and their strength is not slow.

Chen Xiao's Yuan Qi cultivation had reached the peak of the Five-Fold Transformation Yuan Realm, and it only took one opportunity to break through to the Sixfold Transformation Yuan Realm, and Zhong Li Wanyang even broke through the threshold of the Transformation Yuan Realm in one fell swoop and officially entered the First Essence Yuan Realm shortly after Chen Xiao gave her Huanglong Quenching Body Salivation.

At noon, the valley was still as calm and peaceful as usual, the cold pool water suddenly bubbled a few bubbles, and Chen Xiao had jumped up from the pool between the splashes, and he was still holding a big blue and white fish in his hand.

He steamed the water on his body and hurriedly walked towards the wooden house, laughing out loud before he entered the house: "Wanyang, you see if the Qingliu scale fat I hit today is not fat, it is enough for us to eat a few meals." ”

In the past, if he heard Chen Xiao's voice, Zhongli Wanyang would definitely smile and greet the wooden door, take the trophy in his hand and gently praise a few words, but today Chen Xiao walked straight to the door and did not hear any movement in the house.

Chen Xiao frowned slightly, but when he entered the house, he didn't see Zhongli's graceful figure, and muttered, "She should come back when she went to pick wild fruits, why did she go for so long today?"

Since Zhongli Wanyang was not there, Chen Xiao had to clean up the fish by herself, put it on the wood, and start the fire to grill the fish when she returned.

But another hour has passed, Zhongli Wanyang still hasn't come back, Chen Xiao's mood slowly became anxious with the passage of time, standing at the door and looking left and right, he didn't see the familiar beautiful shadow appearing, and said secretly in his heart: "Isn't there something wrong?"

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao couldn't hold back his anxiety anymore, and walked in the direction of the dense forest where Zhongli Wanyang frequented.

There was no abnormality along the way, and he didn't feel any fluctuations in vitality, but the uneasiness in Chen Xiao's heart became more and more intense, there must be a demon when things go wrong, he waved his hand to manipulate the Wind King pestle in his hand, and he was even more cautious and cautious in his actions, running forward hundreds of feet away, and suddenly stopped.

This is a red dense fruit forest, the trees in the forest are not tall, the faint red body is only a foot in diameter, the fruit on the tree is bright red, Chen Xiao remembered that these days, Zhongli Wanyang did bring back several times the exact same fruit for himself to eat.

Chen Xiao walked forward slowly for a moment, a red mark on the ground not far away attracted his attention, and when he got closer, he could see clearly, it turned out to be a bamboo basket thrown on the ground, and there were more than a dozen bright red wild fruits scattered around, the footprints on the ground were slightly messy, and a few shallow ditches caused by unknown things crisscrossed the footprints.

"Sure enough, something happened!"

Chen Xiao's head buzzed, the wind king pestle in his hand couldn't hold it anymore, and when he fell to the ground with a bang, the cold sweat on his body instantly soaked through his cyan clothes like rain, his heart was stuffy, and he couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood.

Chen Xiao held on to the mangrove tree and gasped for a moment, a pair of clear eyes were already bloodshot, and he looked at the wild fruit on the ground in a daze, unable to move, and suddenly, his sloppy eyes had slowly gathered, and he staggered around the scattered footprints a few times, and raised his hand to give himself a slap.

Chen Xiao scolded himself in his heart: The teacher once said to me, the more critical things are, the more you have to calm down, why did I forget it at a critical moment? Although Wanyang must have had an accident, but looking at the surrounding environment, there are no traces of struggle and a little blood spilled, she is likely to be in danger of her life for the time being, if I feel sorry for myself here and delay the time, maybe I will really lack the skills to return to heaven.

Chen Xiao thought of this and beat his spirit, picked up the Fengwang pestle and began to observe it carefully, and sure enough, not far from here, there was a shallow ditch that appeared, Chen Xiao followed the trajectory of the shallow ditch all the way, and found the same trace every dozen zhang.

It wasn't until near the cliff at the bottom of the valley that this trace disappeared completely, Chen Xiao didn't dare to be careless, suppressed his breath to the minimum, and hid among the branches and leaves of a giant tree to look at the steep cliff on the opposite side.

There are no less than hundreds of caves densely packed on this cliff wall, some of the cave entrances are covered by dozens of zhang long huge green vines, and they do not see the light of day all year round, and some of the cave entrances slowly flow out of the gurgling clear springs, and the spring water flows down along the mountain stone trend zigzagically, as if a thin snake crawls and frolicks in the upper reaches of the cliff wall.

Chen Xiao held his breath and observed these caves intently, the time of a pillar of incense passed, but nothing unusual happened, just when Chen Xiao wanted to go forward to find out, suddenly a white shadow floated out from a hole on the left, Chen Xiao looked carefully, and couldn't help but be stunned by this strange white shadow.

This shadow is neither human nor beast, three feet long, the head is oval, as the body becomes thinner and thinner, when it reaches the tail, it has become a cone, it looks like a white water droplet that has been magnified countless times, but its body is by no means formed by water, it is like a white cloud and mist, and there are no facial features on the head, only two small gray holes like eyes.

"What is this?" Chen Xiao had never heard of such a strange thing, so he could only watch quietly.

The white shadow came out of the cave, the conical tail swiped in the air, and a white gas separated from the body, attached to the cave to form a faint white film, after doing this, the white shadow looked around vigilantly for a moment, and saw that there was nothing unusual, the tail flicked to the cliff, and the body popped out more than ten feet to the ground, just like that, he jumped and ran towards the forest, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Chen Xiao waited for its back to go away, gently descended the tree, tiptoed towards the cliff, and came to the bottom of the cave with a few ups and downs, holding the stone wall with both hands, and raising his eyes to look at the cave.

Through the faint white air, the situation in the cave can barely be seen clearly, this stone cave is very small, only two or three zhang deep, the cave wall is round and smooth, not as rough as other caves, the cave is empty, only a beautiful shadow lying on the ground, it is Zhongli Wanyang, who has disappeared not long ago.

Seeing that she was safe and sound, Chen Xiao calmed down a little, and called a few times softly, but he didn't see any reaction from Zhongli Wanyang, Chen Xiao had no choice but to focus on the membrane at the entrance of the cave.

This white film is not made of vitality, let alone formed by the power of the soul, it seems to be countless small winds swirling in the rising and changing, Chen Xiao stretched out his palm and pushed it towards it, as soon as he touched his brows, he frowned, and immediately retracted his palm and looked at it, only to see that the white palm had been cut out of several small wounds, but there was no blood flowing out of the wound, as if it had been sucked dry by something.

This seemingly ordinary white film has such a terrifying destructive power, which makes Chen Xiao's heart sink, thanks to his calmness, if he is a daredevil, I am afraid that his entire hand will be cut off.
