In a blink of an eye, it was dinner time, and Nangong Muyang, who didn't know the inside story, saw that his apprentice looked like he was out of his mind, so he put down the dishes and chopsticks and asked, "Chen'er, what is going on today, you can actually beat Tang Da Niu so embarrassed?"

Xu Chenna dared to conceal it, and hurriedly told him what had happened.

"I see. Nangong Muyang hurriedly asked: "Can you hear whether this voice is male or female, old or young?"

"I guess it's a man, but I didn't know at the time. ”

"You, you're really stupid!" Nangong Muyang sighed and began to think in his heart.

Kong Biao is right, the person who can guide Xu Chen to defeat Tang Da Niu is at least his strength has reached the level of a god general. There are only more than thirty god generals in the entire Chongwu Mountain, and if you count the three war saints including Kong Biao, there are no others.

But who is secretly helping his apprentice? Nangong Muyang thought for a long time and didn't get an answer, his brows furrowed deeply.

Xu Chen is not as shrewd as his master, he is worried about the competition in ten days, Tang Daniu's ruthlessness and viciousness he has learned, who can guarantee that this guy will not take revenge in the ring and beat himself halfway?

Nangong Muyang knew what his apprentice was worried about, but he didn't have any good ideas at this point, so he could only comfort him and say: "Chen'er, don't think too much, maybe one day, this friend will secretly guide you to defeat Tang Daniu." ”

"Let's hope so. Xu Chen didn't have this confidence, he went back to his room to sleep sullenly after eating.

Because of something on his mind, he didn't sleep well all night, and went out early the next morning with a bamboo basket on his back.

"Chen'er, where are you going?" asked Nangong Muyang, who was exercising outside the room.

"Master, I'll go to the back mountain to pick hydrangeas. ”

"Well, that's fine, lest the talkers chew their tongues behind their backs. Nangong Muyang nodded approvingly, and advised: "Go early and return early, I will kill a chicken at noon to nourish your body." ”

"Thank you, Master!"

Xu Chen walked quickly through the mountain gate towards the back mountain, and after a while, he came to the suspension bridge, and after crossing the bridge and walking down the mountain road for a mile, he could reach the bottom of the valley where the hydrangeas were in full bloom.

But at this moment, Xu Chen saw a person suddenly appear by the bridge. As soon as he saw this person, Xu Chen's expression became nervous, because he was none other than his rival Tang Daniu, and his heart suddenly rose to his throat.

Tang Daniu didn't show the slightest abnormality, on the contrary, he greeted Xu Chen with a smirk on his face: "Senior Brother Xu, you got up early in the morning, are you going to pick hydrangeas?"

Xu Chen didn't dare to answer, he found that there was no one else nearby except the two of them. At this time, if Tang Da Niu wanted to take revenge, he wouldn't be able to eat and walk around! His hands had subconsciously clenched into fists.

But Tang Da Niu just came to him, patted Xu Chen's shoulder with his hand, and left after saying good luck to you.

Xu Chen didn't believe that Tang Da Niu just came to say hello and left, he stared at Tang Da Niu nervously, until his back disappeared from sight, and his heart was completely relieved.

Forget it, no matter what his intentions are, I'll get down to business first. Xu Chen had made up his mind, so he ran towards the suspension bridge, but after walking a few steps on the bridge, he felt that something was wrong under his feet.

Xu Chen hurriedly looked down, but before he could wake up, the planks under his feet broke, causing him to fall towards the bottom of the valley unexpectedly!

"Ahh

Just when he thought he was going to die, he found that the man had fallen to the soft ground, and just as he wanted to get up to see what was going on, he felt a tightness in his chest, and opened his mouth to spit out a mouthful of blood. It turned out that he was injured in the competition with the bronze man yesterday, and now he fell to the bottom and added new injuries, and his already thin body could not withstand the successive blows, and now it is a serious injury.

Looking around, Xu Chen found himself lying in a huge bird's nest on an old tree that grew obliquely halfway up the mountainside, no wonder he fell down and was not injured.

At this time, Xu Chen felt that his back was wet, and subconsciously reached out to touch it, and found that his palms were covered with blood. Shocked, he scrambled to his feet, only to find that there was a fledgling under him that had not grown all the feathers.

The fledgling's neck was broken, obviously crushed to death by himself falling from the sky, Xu Chen couldn't help but panic, and before he could move his body, his feet shook, it turned out that the branch supporting the bird's nest couldn't bear his weight, and it broke with a "snap". This time, he and the hapless chicks all fell to the bottom!

Fortunately, the big tree was less than ten zhang away from the bottom of the valley, and Xu Chen, who was in a hurry, turned over in the air, and his feet fell smoothly to the grass. But the corpse of the chick was not so lucky, it fell to the ground and smashed to pieces, and the flesh and blood lay in the grass less than two feet away from Xu Chen.

As soon as Xu Chen took a breath, he heard a birdsong in the air, and then noticed that a black shadow was coming from a high place, he instinctively flew out of his body, only to hear the sound of "boom", the dust was agitated, and the frightened Xu Chen looked back, and the place where he landed just now was hit out of a pit by the giant claws of this bird of prey!

At the same time, Xu Chen also saw that what attacked him was a big bird with a chicken head and fish tail and colorful feathers all over its body.

"Luan Bird!" Xu Chen cried out loudly, this is the sacred bird of Chongwu Mountain, and anyone who wantonly kills it is a felony! Looking up, looking at its angry appearance, it completely recognized itself as the culprit of killing the fledgling, and at this moment, it had opened its claws the size of a dustpan and grabbed it directly towards Xu Chen.

Xu Chen dared to fight it, so he had to fly away again to avoid the attack of the Luanniao. After striking into the air, the bird spread its wings and chased after it in the air.

Running all the way, Xu Chen was almost caught by this bird of prey several times, but fortunately, he was agile and relied on the favorable terrain to avoid several of its attacks in the process of escaping.

In the desperate escape, his vision became wider, and Xu Chen saw a dense peach forest in front of him, which was in the middle of spring, and the forest was full of gorgeous peach blossoms, which made his eyes crimson.

Xu Chen was secretly happy, if he could run into this peach forest, he would be able to hide his body and make it difficult for Luan Niao to find himself.

Xu Chen hurriedly ran into the peach forest with all his strength, but what he never expected was that the luan bird flying in the air opened its mouth, and suddenly a red flame erupted from its mouth, passing through the gap between the branches and leaves, and striking at Xu Chen!

Damn, you won't let me go like this! Xu Chen hurriedly flew up and landed two feet away, Rao is trouser legs were also stained with sparks, and smoke came out, so frightened that he quickly extinguished the flames on his feet, and his heart also cried bitter.

This luan bird can breathe fire, which means that it has cultivated to the essence, although it has not transformed into a human form, at least it has five or six hundred years of cultivation. Thinking of this, Xu Chen began to regret that he had caused a big problem.

At this time, a melodious wind chimes were heard in the distance. If there is a bell, it means that there is a house nearby, so hurry up and hide from the evil birds, and if you are lucky, I can find someone to help me get rid of it!

With his mind already decided, Xu Chen took a step and ran straight towards the place where the bell rang, but before he could run a few steps, he heard a thunderous sound coming from the ground, and in an instant a big hole cracked in the ground, his feet slipped, and the whole person fell into the depths of the crack!

I don't know how long it took, Xu Chen woke up from a coma, it was pitch black in front of him, he forced his scarred body to hold up, took out the fire fold from his arms and lit it, only to find that he was in a cave. The cracks overhead had long since closed, and from time to time dust and fine gravel fell.

I'm so lucky that I didn't fall to my death this way!

Xu Chen took a long breath, worried that this place would collapse at any time and bury himself, so he hurriedly raised the fire and walked towards the depths of the cave, but he didn't expect that this was an inverted gourd-shaped hole, and it was no problem to walk three or four people side by side at first, but later it became narrower and narrower, and he could only barely pass through alone.

Xu Chen observed as he walked, and found that although the cave was narrow, it was very high, at least seven or eight zhang high. The two walls of the cave are quite flat, it is obvious that someone has repaired it, and there is a lot of moss on the ground, and the feet step on the moss, and the sound of "poof, poof" sounds.

About the time of touching a pillar of incense, Xu Chen still couldn't get out of the cave, but the person slipped and fell in the process of moving forward, and the fire fold also fell to the ground and was extinguished, Xu Chen groped in the dark for a long time and couldn't find it.

He couldn't help but be a little discouraged, and just when he was scolding his mother in his heart, he suddenly noticed a faint blue light coming out in front of him. Xu Chen looked fixedly, the glimmer went out again, and then lit up again in the blink of an eye, like stars flickering in the night sky.

Xu Chen couldn't help but be secretly happy, and hurriedly walked over along the light and shallow foot.

Walking through the long passage, Xu Chen saw something blocking the way in front of him, and reached out to touch it, it turned out that the blue bricks built into a high wall blocked the road, and the light was shining out from the cracks in the bricks.

Xu Chen tentatively picked up one of the bricks on the wall with his hand, and easily removed it.

It was like knocking down the erected dominoes, and with a "boom", all the bricks collapsed, and if Xu Chen hadn't flashed to the side in time, the person would have been buried in the pile of bricks.

When the dust settled, Xu Chen found that it was a closed stone cave, and there was a platform made of bluestone in the cave, and there was an egg half a person high on the platform. The eggshell is white, but it has a metallic texture, and the faint blue light bursts out through the eggshell, which is exuding an indescribable bevelous beauty at the moment.

It took Xu Chen a long time to come back to his senses, thinking that the egg was so big, it must be a monster when it came out, maybe it was several times larger than the Luan bird he encountered before, if this guy attacked himself......

Xu Chen didn't dare to think about it anymore, he subconsciously ran towards the original road, but the moment he turned around, the entrance of the cave closed strangely, and Xu Chen was trapped in this hole and couldn't get out.

"Smash this egg and you'll have an unexpected reward!"

A voice suddenly sounded, this was not the voice of a normal person, but more like the wailing of the lonely ghost hovering on the bank of the Lethe River.
