Volume 2 The Lost Forest Chapter 23 Vignette
The time for departure has arrived, and the lineup of hundreds of people collecting medicine was soon clearly divided into three teams. The two hall masters each led a team, and Liu Chengfeng personally led a team.
The most powerful lineup is the team led by Liu Chengfeng, in addition to the inner disciples, there are also several Jin Ling disciples in the team, as for the outer disciples, only Zhou Nian is alone in this team, which is a little abrupt.
After getting off the martial arts arena, the team of hundreds of people left the Heavenly Star Pavilion with a smile and began to march towards the Despicable Forest.
Ancient trees are towering, old trees are stout, branches of all kinds grow wildly, poisonous snakes are dormant, wild beasts are infested, and they are full of danger.
The ancient forest has an ancient atmosphere, and this is only the beginning of the despicable forest.
The procession trekked through the dense old forest, covered with thick dead leaves, drooping branches, scattered corners, and occasionally a few bones of wild beasts.
A black bear snorted and walked through the old forest next to it, glanced coldly at their team, grinned, and an invisible wave of air filled the air, and the gravel on the ground actually rose densely and surrounded it.
Monsters!
The breath is very strong!
The spirit of the mountain forest, conceived and born, the spirit absorbs the flower, nourishes the wisdom, each old forest has its own mountain god, most of them are quite intelligent demon beasts, they have lived in the old forest for hundreds of years, or even thousands of years, the grass and trees of the old forest are particularly cherished, if others pick and trample, it will inevitably attract their resentment.
However, although the black bear in front of him is strong and strong, and his spiritual power is abundant, his spiritual wisdom has not been developed, and it is still in the stage of ignorance, which is not enough to be worthy of the heavy responsibility of guarding the mountain god, and it is just a fierce beast.
The medicine collection team didn't pay attention to the black bear, we have hundreds of people, will we be afraid of you?
Zhou Nian's eyes glanced at the black bear not far away, and as soon as his aura moved, his perception immediately emanated.
Take a closer look, three-grade demon beast!
"Shhh...... I didn't expect to meet the three-grade demon beast just after entering the despicable forest, it seems that the depths of this forest are not simple. ”
Zhou Nian muttered in his heart, the corners of his eyes trembled slightly, and he withdrew his aura.
The black bear didn't attack very well, maybe because it had lived too long and had more experience, so it knew the difference in strength between itself and its opponent without fighting, but just watched them leave from a distance, moving its majestic body into the old forest.
The mountain road is up and down, all kinds of tree roots are wrong, and the branches and leaves are dense, but this does not affect the medicine collection team to hurry, some disciples walk very easily, and from time to time they also run to the canopy and toss a few times, like a clown jumping beam, showing themselves to the female disciples, occasionally chasing the little demon beast, showing their strong strength.
Zhou Nian looked at this scene helplessly, shook his head, and let them be presumptuous.
He was admiring the strange scenery in the old forest, and beside him, a figure suddenly caught up with him quickly.
"Zhou Nian!"
Liang Mengxue came to his side at some point, stood side by side with him, shouted, and suddenly lowered his head.
"Hmm, what's wrong?" Zhou Nian turned his head to look at her and asked.
"That...... Thank you so much for the last time. Liang Mengxue blinked her smart eyes and whispered.
"Last time, what happened last time?" Zhou Nian slowed down and asked with some curiosity.
As always, it was bland, so that Liang Mengxue couldn't help frowning, and there was a little anger in her heart, "This person, why is he still so heartless, he actually forgot the last time, on purpose." ”
Unhappy in her heart, Liang Mengxue's face became not very good-looking, and she said in a low voice, "Last time, it was you who helped me with alchemy, your memory is really bad!"
"Oh, that's it. Zhou Nian nodded his chin, as if recalling, and continued, "There is nothing to thank or thank, the exchange of Danfang for Lingzhu Grass is a transaction, and it is reasonable, so you don't have to take it to heart." ”
A transaction......
This sentence more or less made Liang Mengxue's heart flash a trace of inexplicable loss, her eyebrows were slightly frowned, and she wanted to say something more, but the moment she turned her head, she suddenly found that Zhou Nian had stopped, her eyes fell on one place, and her eyes were straight!
"Zhou Nian, what's wrong with you?" asked Liang Mengxue with a curious face.
"Shhhh ”
Zhou Nian suddenly put his right index finger against Liang Mengxue's pink lips, his expression was solemn and nervous.
However, this action immediately attracted a huge reaction from Liang Mengxue!
"Ahh
Liang Mengxue screamed in fright, and hurriedly retreated a few steps back with the back of her hand against her pink lips, her face flushed like a ripe apple.
No one has ever done such an affectionate gesture to her, never!
But it didn't matter if she didn't scream, when she did, she was so frightened that a shadow on a tall tree branch not far away slipped away.
The moment the shadow disappeared, Zhou Nian's brows couldn't help frowning.
At the same time, this shout also attracted the attention of many disciples around him, and when he saw that the person standing next to Liang Mengxue was Zhou Nian, his eyes were even more resentful.
Liang Mengxue is a star-studded figure in the Tianxing Pavilion, and there are many suitors, only in the Tianxing Pavilion Gate, there are countless people who regard it as the lover of their dreams, the queen of the iceberg, and they cannot be desecrated by others.
She is not only beautiful, but also has excellent virtues, and in terms of cultivation, she is also the best among her peers, and she is extremely talented. Not to mention the Quenching Nine Heavens, his master is Zhang Xian, the Great Elder of the Inner Gate in the dignified Heavenly Star Pavilion, with a prominent identity.
Zhou Nian, such a popular figure, dared to provoke her to scream, he must have done something!
For a while, when the surrounding disciples looked at Zhou Nian, they all had bad intentions.
"Hey, stinky boy, what did you just do?"
"Zhou Nian, you are too presumptuous, even Senior Sister Liang dares to bully?"
"This person, why is he everywhere?"
"I think it's the elders who are used to you, and you have no fear, and you have to make inches!"
"Elder, disciple, please Ying, vow to fight with Zhou Nian!"
......
There are thousands of inner disciples, and Zhou Nian provokes at least half of them!
A lot of criticism reached Liu Chengfeng's ears, even if he protected Zhou Nian again, he was more or less unable to hang up on his face.
It's hard to be angry, this kid is really a trouble-seeking ancestor!
Liu Chengfeng complained bitterly in his heart, but he still maintained a calm expression on his face, slowly stepped forward, and said lightly, "Xiaoxue, what happened just now?"
Liu Chengfeng is also an old oilman, knowing that Zhou Nian's temper has always been cold, if you ask him, maybe he has any attitude, and letting the surrounding disciples see it is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.
Both sides can't be offended, so it's better for Liu Chengfeng to ask Liang Mengxue directly.
Liang Mengxue's pretty face calmed down a little at the moment, glanced at Zhou Nian on the other side, and then looked at the complicated eyes of the disciples around her, exhaled, and then said, "It's okay, Uncle Shi, just now a monkey suddenly rushed past me, I didn't pay attention, so I was startled, it's not about Zhou Nian, I'm sorry for the trouble." ”
The gentle voice made the bones of some of the inner disciples around him crispy, squinting his eyes and enjoying the sound echoing in his ears, completely forgetting the bitter and mean ugly face when he misunderstood Zhou Nian just now.
"Oh, I see. Liu Chengfeng also breathed a sigh of relief, turning big things into small things and small things into small things, which was exactly what he wanted.
Waving his sleeves at the disciples, Liu Chengfeng said, "It's okay, everyone continues to hurry." ”
A small episode quickly turned into calm, and everyone got back on the road, completely ignoring how nervous Zhou Nian's expression was behind him.
Slander, controversy, courtesy, favoritism, all the emotions and thoughts were not taken care of, and he didn't hear it in his ears at all, even the scream before Liang Mengxue, he turned a deaf ear.
He only cared about one thing now, "What is the thing that escaped from the dense leaves just now?"
Zhou Nian was suspicious in his heart, his pace gradually slowed down, and he deliberately walked at the back of the team.
The distance is getting bigger and bigger, and Zhou Nian's pace is even suspected of regression.
Looking at the team in front of him who was gradually moving away from him, Zhou Nian's body moved, and he was about to turn into a fork in the road.
"Hey, where are you going?"
The familiar voice sounded in Zhou Nian's ears, making him stunned and suddenly feeling very big!
It's this troublesome girl Liang Mengxue again, this Nizi, isn't it like a dog skin plaster, sticking to herself?
Zhou Nian's face was full of helplessness, and he naturally didn't have any anger when he spoke, "Where am I going to care about your?"
"You ......"
The indifferent voice, hearing Liang Mengxue's pretty face, couldn't help but clench her pink fists, her heart was full of grievances, "Why is he like this? I just relieved him, even if he is not grateful, why is he still such an attitude now?"
Liang Mengxue complained in her heart, but she still knew the general situation, her beautiful eyes blinked, and said, "This despicable forest has always been mysterious, and there are dangers everywhere, it is very unwise for you to break away from the team so far, and the elder has also instructed that you can't act alone in everything." ”
"Then I'm going to pee, you don't care?" Zhou Nian spread his hands and deliberately said a foul word.
"Tube!huh?" Liang Mengxue instinctively strengthened her attitude, and because she said it too quickly, she nodded heavily.
But as soon as she was firm, she realized the teasing in the other party's words, and suddenly her pretty face turned red with anger, and she was almost speechless, "You ......"
"Hehe......" Zhou Nian smiled thief, angering Liang Mengxue seemed to make him feel a sense of accomplishment.
"You are shameless!obscene!despicable!lowly!degraded embryo!Dengzizi!" Liang Mengxue suddenly broke out, almost saying all the swearing words she knew in her life, and after finishing speaking, she seemed to be too violent, and she actually stood aside and gasped for breath.
This is the first time Liang Mengxue has scolded people, and the first time she has scolded so much!
Don't look at her usual coldness, but when she scolds people, she reveals a hint of cuteness.
If it weren't for the strange thing in the forest slipping farther and farther away, Zhou Nian really wanted to tease her again, but time didn't allow him to hesitate too much.
The expression on his face returned to his former blandness, and Zhou Nian said, "Okay, I won't talk to you, I still have something to do, I will leave first, and the team will follow as soon as possible!"
After Zhou Nian finished speaking, he wanted to leave.
"You wait first!" Behind him, Liang Mengxue suddenly stopped him, her beautiful eyes blinked, she took a deep breath, as if she had made a major decision, and then said, "It's okay to go, but you have to take me with you!"
"Take you, I don't have the spare time to take care of you!" Zhou Nian finished speaking, and his toes suddenly stepped on the ground and jumped on the branches!
"I don't need you to take care of it! if you don't take me with you, I'll send a signal right now to inform the elders!" Liang Mengxue finished speaking, and suddenly took out a Ming Zhu from her arms and held it in her hand, and said with a threatening expression.
Trouble as always!
The stakes were high, and Zhou Nian didn't want to waste any more time, shook his head, and finally compromised, "Okay, you can bring it, but we can say it in advance, if there is any danger, I don't care." ”
"Cut, no need!" Liang Mengxue glanced at Zhou Nian with contempt, stepped slightly, and jumped on the branch.
The figures swam like shadows, and after a few seconds, the two disappeared into the dense jungle.
