"This ...... What is this?"

Zhou Nian muttered in a low voice, and just wanted to ask, but saw that the black cloud of crows had already rushed to the tail of the porcupine, and the mountains swept over like a tsunami, swooping down at the same time, knocking into the pigs!

"Roar ......"

The terrible screams filled the valley like a mountain and a sea, and it sounded creepy!

The huge herd of porcupines was quickly swallowed by the black cloud of crows, almost devastating the momentum of the withering and decaying, the flesh was encroached, the breath changed in seconds, the knife and axe were like a feast, the speed of the wind flashed, and the only thing left behind the body was a porcupine white bone with forest white fear!

"Hiss......"

The frightened scene, seeing Zhou Nian's face full of solemnity, his back was cold, and he hurriedly mobilized the spiritual energy in his body to gather in his legs, and suddenly shouted to the shrimp ghost on the side, "Let me go down!" Your injuries have not healed, and the speed is too slow, if we continue like this, we will both die!"

The shrimp ghost's body was stunned, his speed slowed down suddenly, and before he could reply, he saw that Zhou Nian on his waist suddenly broke free from its restraints, and the divine walking hundred steps completely broke out in an instant, the wind was born under his feet, the roles were reversed, and Zhou Nian actually carried the shrimp ghost and rushed quickly!

There was a strong smell of blood in the air, accompanied by a trace of disgusting fishy smell, the crow chased after him, Zhou Nian didn't even dare to look back, the speed of running became more and more intense, and his physical functions were exerted to the extreme in an instant!

Sou!

Galloping suddenly, risking his life to escape, Zhou Nian has never encountered such a thrilling and exciting chase!

The crows are flying all over the sky, wreaking havoc countless along the way, except for the monsters and creatures, even the flowers and trees have not been spared, as long as they have affected the place, there is no grass, full of devastation, withered and dilapidated, miserable!

"Benefactor, quick, jump into the lake in front of you!" the shrimp ghost suddenly shouted, stretched out his big tongs and pointed to a red lake not far ahead, as if he had found a life-saving straw.

"Lake?" Zhou Nian frowned, and looked up at the place where the shrimp ghost was pointing, and not far in front of him, surrounded by trees, there was indeed a small red lake.

The Red Lake is not big, the water is not deep, the only strange place is that there is a layer of hot white gas floating above the lake, the heat wave is rolling, floating head-on, and from time to time there will be thick and turbid bubbles in the lake, just like boiling water that has been burned by fire, which is daunting.

"That lake ......" Zhou Nian muttered, and when he was hesitating, the crows behind him suddenly accelerated and rushed, and the cold aura spread down his back to his whole body, and he was about to wreak havoc!

The situation is extremely critical, and now, Zhou Nian can't even think about the real situation of the lake, the soles of his feet slammed on the ground, his body jumped up suddenly, and he swooped down with the shrimp ghost and plunged into the lake.

"Poof!"

The lake splashed, causing countless ripples, as if two eggs had been thrown into the boiling water, and at the same time that Zhou Nian plunged into the red lake, a majestic aura barrier immediately wrapped his whole body, protecting the vital points of his body.

The shrimp ghost shell is hard, but no matter how hard it is, it can't withstand the blazing heat of the red lake, it doesn't want to become a braised prawn, so it hurriedly mobilizes the little qi it has just recovered in its body to protect its whole body, and follows Zhou Nian into the lake together.

"Quack ......"

The two figures just entered the lake, and the crows behind them immediately flashed, clinging to the surface of the lake and flying wildly.

Occasionally, a few crows rushed too violently, one did not stop and rushed directly into the lake, the heat suddenly spread all over the body, burning them in pain and screaming, the lake rolled, and they were trying to fight, but there was no protection of the aura, it only lasted for a very short time, and the whole body was scalded and shrunk into a dirty black ball, the hair fell off, the wings were torn, and they fluttered and struggled a few times, and they were quickly roasted, and they were killed.

In the red lake, Zhou Nian closed his breath and stared, the blazing temperature was wantonly destroying the aura barrier around him, crunching and cracking, becoming more and more ferocious, the closer to the bottom of the lake, the higher the temperature seemed to be, under the turbid lake, a purple flare was constantly flickering, flickering bright, flickering, with an extremely terrifying energy aura on it, making people shudder and dare not approach.

"Huh, what is that?" Zhou Nian was suspicious in his heart, driven by curiosity, he wanted to sink down and take a closer look, but he had just dived less than half a meter, but the blazing temperature suddenly intensified in an instant, and the aura barrier around him was about to shatter!

"Whirring ......"

Zhou Nian's strange behavior frightened the shrimp grimace next to him red, and he didn't know whether he was in a hurry or was scalded by the lake water, so he slammed the surrounding lake water with pliers, signaling Zhou Nian not to risk himself.

"Hiss......"

Strange things are close at hand, but things at your fingertips are always so far away, after a strong psychological struggle, Zhou Nian still gave up for the time being, and paddled up with both hands, and the shattering of the aura barrier was finally alleviated.

Gaze and wait!

The huge flock of crows flew by, although it only took half a minute, but for the two people underwater, half a minute was extremely long!

The black feathers flew all over the sky, and when they fell into the lake, they quickly twisted into smoke and dust, and they were not evaporated, and the two waves of qi suddenly rose to the sky, and the bodies of Zhou Nian and the shrimp ghost suddenly surfaced, and they washed to the shore like their buttocks being burned by fire.

"Whoa, burn me!"

The shrimp ghost squeaked in pain, and the two large tongs kept rubbing the burned parts of him, but he couldn't get rid of the heat, so he simply lay on the ground and rolled on the ground to lower the temperature.

Compared with the funny shrimp ghost in front of him, Zhou Nian himself was no better, his face was flushed, his whole body was as hot as fire, and the clothes on his body were burned to tatters, as if he had just crawled out of the fire, especially his arms, which were seriously injured.

Mobilizing the aura to drive away the blazing heat, Zhou Nian sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and breathed for a while before finally recovering his original complexion.

The air was filled with the smell of roasted meat, which was the smell of the roasted crows before, floating on the surface of the water to tempt people and make people salivate.

"Goo......

With a low stomach call, Zhou Nian suddenly became a little hungry, glanced at the shrimp ghost next to him who had also recovered his breath, and then ordered, "Hey, you go and get those crows up." ”

"Hmm, what are you fishing for?" said the shrimp ghost, puzzled.

"Eat, I'm hungry. Zhou Nian said very bluntly.

"Huh?" The shrimp ghost was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and had a headache when he glanced at the hot lake water, and waved his hand just about to refuse, but he let out a "grunt", and it also let out a stomach cry "shamelessly".

Seeing this, Zhou Nian couldn't help but chuckle, "Hehe...... Don't put up with it, you've just experienced a big war, and you must be hungry too, so go and catch it. ”

"Why should I fish?" the shrimp ghost was a little difficult, and the temperature of the lake water before was a little scared now, and he obviously didn't want to touch it again.

"Because I'm your benefactor, don't you plan to repay the favor?" Zhou Nian said word by word.

"Didn't I repay the favor when I answered your question before?" retorted the shrimp ghost, and continued, "besides, I just reminded you of the danger of those crows, and you just picked up a small life, and now that I am your benefactor, you should go and catch it." ”

Zhou Nian suddenly became a little annoyed after hearing this, "You still have the face to say, at your speed just now, we would have stopped eating a long time ago, if I hadn't brought you with me, you would only have shrimp shells left at this moment." ”

"No, no, it's me who reminded you first, and I immediately ran away with you after I reminded you, how kind my heart is, I should have saved you. ”

"Okay, okay, let's not care who saved whom, in a word, are you hungry?"

"Of course I'm hungry, but no matter how hungry I am, I'll never touch that lake again. ”

The shrimp ghost is very confident, even if he is hungry, he has to fight Zhou Nian to the end.

"Alas......" The shrimp ghost's insistence made Zhou Nian speechless, his eyes rolled slightly, and an idea came to his mind, "Okay, you say you are reasonable, I say I am reasonable, this is not the way, why don't we each take a step back?"

"Take a step back, how do you retreat?" the shrimp ghost said curiously.

There was a slight curvature on the corner of his mouth, and Zhou Nian said lightly, "We will use guessing to decide, and those who lose will have to go down to fish willingly." ”

"Guess the box?" As soon as these words came out, the shrimp ghost's brain suddenly couldn't turn, and he was hesitating, but Zhou Nian's voice sounded in his ears.

"What? Don't you dare?" Zhou Nian deliberately used the agitation method, and he already had the victory in his heart.

"Whoever doesn't dare, come. The shrimp ghost was enraged all of a sudden, and sure enough, he hit the plan.

"Alright, let's get started now!"

"Okay!"

"Rock-paper-scissors!"

Two sounds, the result is obvious!

Zhou read out the stone, and the shrimp ghost's expression immediately froze on his face.

"I ...... How could I lose?" The shrimp ghost stared at his two large pincers with a suspicious face, as if he had not recovered from the defeat.

"Okay, don't think about it, I'm willing to lose the bet, hurry up and go down to get the crow meat, and if you delay any longer, it will be scorched." Zhou Nian was really afraid that the shrimp ghost would react, so he hurriedly urged.

The shrimp ghost's eyes were stunned, and he was still muttering innocently, "I...... How did I lose?"

Even if there are 10,000 reluctances, if you lose, you lose, and the shrimp ghost can only fulfill his promise.

"Poof" plunged into the water again, the shrimp ghost endured the blazing heat and began to catch crows, scooped up one and threw it to the shore, the speed was quite agile.

Zhou Nian unhurriedly followed the crow meat thrown by the shrimp ghost, his face was happy, and he snickered in his heart, "These two stunned, I don't know how I lost now, do you have any other options besides scissors when you guess boxing?"

More than a dozen crows were fished ashore, and the shrimp ghost couldn't stand the scalding, so he arched himself and jumped up, returning to the shore again.

"Shhh...... Scald me!"

The same picture, Zhou Nian, who was watching the side, just wanted to laugh.

Gathering all the crow meat together, Zhou Nian took the initiative to let the shrimp ghost eat it first, not because of how kind he was, but because he was cautious, afraid that these crow meat would be highly poisonous.

The shrimp ghost raised the big tongs and ate two of them in one bite, and praised the deliciousness of the meat while eating, thinking that he was really hungry, and he didn't even vomit the bones, what a foodie.

Zhou Nian looked at it with a serious face next to him, hesitated for a moment, and saw that nothing unusual happened, so he had the courage to pick one up and began to eat crow meat.

A thigh meat swallowed into the mouth, fat but not greasy, roasted is excellent, I didn't expect that this almost killed their own life of the Red Lake, is actually a natural big oven, it can really be said that Seong lost his horse, I don't know if it's a blessing

Eating the crow meat in his hand, Zhou Nian suddenly remembered a question, looked at the shrimp ghost next to him and asked, "Hey, let me ask you, what is the origin of the crow chasing us just now, why are you so afraid of it?"

The shrimp ghost was eating hotly, and when he heard this question, the movements in his hands were suddenly stunned, and he hesitated for a moment, and then said slowly, "These crows, whose natal name is Dark Crow, are one of the most terrifying monsters in the Despicable Forest. ”

"Demon beasts, are they also demon beasts?" Zhou Nian was a little surprised, he thought that these were just ordinary crows, but he didn't expect them to be demon beasts.

"Yes, the dark crow attack has always been the most feared thing for the monsters in the despicable forest, and it will be raided once in a while, but the raids have been more frequent recently, and I don't know what happened. ”

"You just said that they are one of the most terrifying monsters, and according to you, there are other monsters that are even more terrifying than the crows?"
