Chapter 424: The Journey

Dawn.

The sky was still a little dark, and a white line faintly appeared in the sky in the distance, and countless green plants swayed slightly in the wind, shaking off the dew on the leaves.

All sorts of strange noises in the wilderness began to slowly diminish as well.

Jiang Yan still remained vigilant, and did not relax because the sky was about to brighten, he scanned the surroundings over and over again, imprinting everything nearby in his mind, so that if there was anything abnormal, he could compare and find it.

Turning around slowly, Jiang Yan changed direction and looked at the east side of the Fu Dao, and his eyes also slightly observed Ouyang Xiuya.

She seems... Really fell asleep.

The tool man had already been tilted away, and she lay quietly on it, her back undulating evenly and regularly, and her green hair spread out, covering her face.

Woowoo...... The wind around them grew slightly, ruffling their clothes and bringing with them an even thicker morning dampness.

Jiang Yan pursed his lips, gently pulled out the "Rainbow" sword, and inserted it in the gap between the two rune bricks, above the dark red sword body, a stream of heat slowly spread around, dispelling the cold qi.

Feeling the warmth of his body, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and a small smile appeared.

He took out a white bottle from his waist pocket, poured out a pill the size of his finger belly, and swallowed it gently.

This is Bigu Dan, the taste is average, but one grain can be used for half a day.

Time passed smoothly, and when Jiang Yan was on the same tree and saw the fourth lark rise and fall, the sun finally appeared.

The boundless golden light pierced the space and illuminated the earth.

"Hmm......"

Ouyang Xiuya, who was lying on the tool man, shook her shoulders slightly, and then, she slowly straightened her back, and her black hair fluttered lightly, showing her somewhat ruddy face and slightly confused eyes.

Ouyang Xiuya raised her head slightly, meeting Jiang Yan's diverted gaze, the corners of her mouth curved, and she smiled at him.

She laughed, like a water lotus flower quietly blooming.

Jiang Yan bowed his head slightly, and then jumped away.

A quarter of an hour later, the two of them packed up the temporary camp, all kinds of talisman arrays were put away, and Ouyang Xiuya's "black-clothed tool man" also turned into a tiny leather bag that she summoned into her hand and put into the small pocket on her chest.

Jiang Yan finally couldn't help but ask, "Do you have all the things you prepared in these small bags on your body?"

Shaking her head, Ouyang Xiuya denied it.

Jiang Yan said again: "Ouyang... Can I customize a black-clothed tool man for you in the future?"

He thought about it, met Ouyang Xiuya's beautiful eyes, and added uncomfortably, "Just... Just the kind you just had. ”

He still didn't say what he wanted to ask for a woman's toolman.

"Yes. ”

In the daytime, Ouyang Xiuya returned to her previous state of silence, seriousness, and few words.

......

Star Valley, wilderness trails.

The Phantom Couple's activity area in Star Valley is not particularly far from the rune road, only one hundred and fifty miles, but in this journey, there are nearly a hundred miles of journeys without roads, and there are no wild roads.

Coupled with the fact that the two of them had to be on guard against many dangers in the wilderness, Jiang Yan estimated that it might take them two days to complete this journey, plus the time to find the phantom couple, the whole journey ...... Ten days?

Thinking like this, a wry smile appeared at the corner of Jiang Yan's mouth, a rest period takes ten days, which will delay Li Conghan and them to do the task.

"When I return to the Jingye Division of Yehuai City, I will still apply for a solo team, so as not to delay others, and for me, it will be more flexible and free. ”

After all, he and Li Conghan are different.

His purpose is to hunt weird and earn weird points, as long as he can achieve this goal, he can go the same wherever he goes, just like hunting phantom puppets in the wilderness of Star Valley with Ouyang Xiuya.

......

A fork in the road appeared, the wild road was split in two, into smaller, narrower roads, and the two forks extended in different directions, blocked by layers of greenery, with no end in sight.

"Let's choose due west. ”

Ouyang Xiuya looked up at the sun behind her and judged the direction.

At this time, several footsteps came from near the fork in the road, and a five-person team appeared in Jiang Yan's sight.

The two groups met abruptly, and they were all stunned.

The leader of this five-person squad was a middle-aged man, he crossed the crowd, raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Yan, a kind smile appeared on his black face, and at the same time, they didn't continue to move forward, and stopped there.

Jiang Yan nodded slightly, without meaning to talk to the other party, he motioned for Ouyang Xiuya to go first.

Soon, the two of them disappeared from sight of the five-man team.

......

"Chief, they're not far yet. ”

In the team of five, a short and thin man reminded in a low voice.

"I know. The middle-aged man replied calmly, he understood what the short and thin man meant, but he only said that.

"Chief......" The short, thin man's tone quickened, he didn't understand what the leader was doing.

"Adin, have you been with me for a few years?" the middle-aged man suddenly opened his mouth to another topic.

"It's been a year and a half. The short, thin man replied.

"Has it been so long?" the middle-aged man muttered to himself, and then his voice became cold:

"After returning to Night Huai City this time, you don't have to follow me anymore. ”

After saying this, the middle-aged man strode away, following him for so long, he still has no eyesight, what a waste.

When they met Jiang Yan and the others, Jiang Yan's calm and indifferent attitude, and when he turned to leave, he was able to show his back in front of them......

How could he, how dare he.

Even if Jiang Yan was pretending, he couldn't take any risks.

......

Skip the interlude.

On the winding and winding road, Jiang Yan and Ouyang Xiuya kept a certain distance from each other and moved forward steadily.

The two of them did not speak, and they were both engrossed in their surroundings.

No one knows whether the danger will come, and when the danger comes, what kind of way and what kind of intensity it will be, so it is the best choice to maintain the best condition.

"So big, so tall banyan ......"

A huge old banyan tree stood in front of the two of them, it was several feet thick, and the canopy was towering, obscuring the light from the sky, casting a gloomy and dim shadow.

Dense aerial roots hung down from the branches, and the ends were curved, like tentacles of some kind of movement.

The closer you get to it, the more you can feel its tallness, and the air around it becomes cool without light.

After bypassing the big banyan tree, the road gradually narrows, and the surrounding greenery stretches out the branches, gradually submerging the path.

Ahead, there is no way.

"Let's take turns to get out of the way......" Jiang Yan pushed his palm, and a white fiery snake snaked and crawled forward, burning everything that stood in front of him to ashes.

Crackling... Smoke rose and sparks began to emerge from all around.

"In such a forest, it doesn't seem appropriate to open the way with fire. ”

......
