The incident happened suddenly, Ziteng was unguarded, and was slapped directly by Lin Ruoxue.

When Lin Ruoxue just woke up, her memory was still in the state before she fell into a coma, and under the horror, she had already used most of her soul power to shoot.

Although Lin Ruoxue's soul power was nothing to Zi Teng, he did not use his soul power to resist when he was caught off guard.

This is also because Zi Teng's body is relatively strong, and if he is someone else, he will not be seriously injured and will have to be beaten and vomit blood.

Even so, Zi Teng was also beaten so badly that five fingerprints soon appeared on his face.

Zi Teng rubbed his face lightly, looked at Lin Ruoxue, and frowned.

The two Lin family guards were already stunned on the spot after seeing Lin Ruoxue beat Ziteng.

After Lin Ruoxue woke up, she seemed to have reacted, and when she saw Ziteng in front of her, she was also stunned, and the little hand that hit Ziteng was withdrawn to her chest, and she didn't know where to put it for a while.

"Humph!"

Although he knew that Lin Ruoxue's move might be unintentional, but he was slapped for no reason, Zi Teng was inevitably angry, and stood up with a low snort, with an angry expression: "The young lady of the big family is really the same." ”

Then, he squinted at the two Lin family guards who were still stunned on the side, and said in a low voice: "Your young lady is no longer in trouble, the rest is your business, I don't have to stay here longer." ”

After speaking, before the two people could react, the person had already jumped out and disappeared into the forest in a blink of an eye.

When Ziteng left, the two Lin family guards just reacted, and it was too late to think about it again, and then looked at their young lady's already somewhat helpless appearance, and couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.

Looking at Zi Teng's departing back in a daze, Lin Ruoxue's beautiful eyes were filled with dampness.

In fact, after Lin Ruoxue beat Ziteng, she secretly regretted it, thinking back to what happened to her, she already knew that Ziteng must have saved her, and she wanted to apologize, but she couldn't let go of her status as a top family lady for a while, and finally figured it out and wanted to speak out, but when she saw that Ziteng had left without saying a word, a trace of grievance suddenly arose in her heart.

"Ziteng ......"

Looking at the direction in which Ziteng was going, Lin Ruoxue had a grudge on her face.

............

Ziteng rushed all the way, and in less than two hours, he had already left the jungle, and saw that there was a relatively open mountain road ahead, so he lowered his speed and changed from running to slow.

At this time, Zi Teng couldn't help but think of the scene where he was beaten, and after repeated speculation, he suddenly felt that Lin Ruoxue seemed to be excusable just now, and she couldn't be completely blamed for this matter, so it seemed that it was too late for any woman to think about it when she encountered this kind of thing.

It's just that Lin Ruoxue didn't even say a word, which always made him feel a little unhappy, and he also saved a slap to save people.

He didn't think about it deeply, and Lin Ruoxue was also stunned by his own slap.

In fact, Zi Teng is not a stingy person, but why he is so angry about this matter, even he himself can't figure it out.

Shaking his head vigorously and putting the matter aside for the time being, Zi Teng inadvertently quickened his steps again, rushing all the way in the direction of Purple Maple Valley.

According to the map, Purple Maple Valley is about four days away from here, and when Zi Teng went to rescue Lin Ruoxue, he had already asked the four of Da Zhuang to rush to Purple Maple Valley first, and when he was done with his errands, he would go to meet them.

Since Da Zhuang and the others already had a messenger, they would definitely contact him if there was anything, so Zi Teng was not worried about it for the time being.

Even so, Zi Teng also wanted to travel as much as possible, even if he saw that the sky was about to get dark, he had no intention of stopping, and he decided to find a place to spend the night until night completely fell.

In the past few days, Zi Teng has compressed his soul power to no less than ten or eight times, but he can already feel the soul power in his body begin to surge, so he wants to find a quieter place to cultivate.

Thinking of this, Zi Teng jumped directly out of the mountain road, along a gentle hillside, and walked towards the stone sea not far away.

Because the light was too dim, Zi Teng didn't notice that on the uneven stone wall he passed, there was a strange pattern carved on it.

If Zi Teng could see it, he would definitely remember some information he had learned in the Ten Thousand Scrolls Building of the Soul Martial Academy, which was a pattern that represented extreme danger.

Unconsciously, Ziteng had walked out of three or four miles.

When he turned back again, the scene behind him had been obscured by a miasma.

"Huh, why didn't you notice just now?"

Zi Teng frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and decided to move on.

With the faint light in the sky, Zi Teng soon walked to a rocky hill, and with every step, there would be a "crackling" sound under his feet, just like wading in muddy water.

The light was too dim, and Zi Teng wasn't sure if it was muddy water, but it always felt like a viscous substance.

Feeling the strangeness under his feet, Zi Teng stopped.

It was mentioned in the books of the Ten Thousand Scrolls Building of the Soul Martial Academy that there were some strange places in the underground tombs, where they often encountered some strange monsters that people could not guard against, and reminded those who could enter the tombs not to enter easily.

Zi Teng has been in the earth for nearly twenty days, except for encountering some magical beasts, but he has not found anything strange, so he has not been in his heart, but at this time he has thought about it.

Seeing that the strange rocks on the stone mound were scattered, the surroundings were lifeless, and there was an eerie aura exuding from the place, Zi Teng was ready to leave as soon as possible.

Experience is experience, but it also has to be fate, Zi Teng didn't want to stay in this weird place, so he quickly retreated.

However, Zi Teng only felt that he had been walking for a long time, but he still hadn't walked out of here.

"Lost ......"

Zi Teng sighed in his heart.

When he was in a hurry, suddenly, Zi Teng heard a faint sound of liquid flowing, and as far as he could see, a few points of red light flickered on and off, but he didn't know when it appeared.

Following those few points of light, Zi Teng slowly approached, and the closer he got, the brighter it became.

As the sound of water increased, Zi Teng felt that the temperature around him was getting higher and higher, and in the blink of an eye, he was less than ten meters away from those few points of light.

Zi Teng took a closer look, and those few bits of light actually came from a few stones, and the place where the sound came from, what kind of water flow, was actually a magma flow.

"How can there be lava here?"

Looking around, Zi Teng felt that this was not a volcano, so where did this magma come from?

Zi Teng couldn't help but sigh for a while, but as soon as he came to his senses, he suddenly sensed that a crisis was approaching, and hurriedly dodged, and saw a small red light and shadow flashing past him.

When the light and shadow fell to the ground, Zi Teng's heart was shocked, and he couldn't help but think of a monster he had seen in his previous life.

The monster is called the Earth Flame Rat, which mostly grows near the ground where there is magma, and lives by absorbing the essence of earth fire.

Since this kind of monster is often tempered by the essence of earth and fire, the demon soul energy is extremely powerful, although it cannot be used by humans for cultivation, but it is of great benefit to the demon pets that humans have captive.

But although this monster is not strong in attack, it is very responsive and extremely difficult to catch.

After seeing the ground flame rat, Zi Teng was originally overjoyed, but his heart sank again.

All species have natural predators.

Where there are gophermas living in them, there is another kind of monster called the Stone Heart Demon.

The Stone Heart Demon is just a wisp of demon soul, good at hiding in underground rocks, specializing in eating the demon soul of the ground flame rat.

However, this stone-hearted demon can't be fused by humans, because it can also absorb the demon soul and blood of the human race, so as to strengthen itself.

Unless the level of the Demon Soul is too high.

There are so many rocks here, maybe there is a stone demon in any of them.

Zi Teng's heart couldn't help but raise his throat, not to mention his demon soul level, but it was just a wisp of remnant soul, whether he could deal with that stone-hearted demon, he really didn't know the bottom in his heart.

Therefore, ignoring the ground flame rat in front of him, Zi Teng slowly retreated.

What is terrifying, he just came to something, Zi Teng didn't retreat a few steps, and the ground flame rat didn't know what he was suddenly frightened by, and when he rubbed it, it was like a lightning bolt shooting towards him.

The speed of the ground flame rat was too fast, and Zi Teng couldn't dodge in a panic, but he was bitten on the neck by the ground flame rat.

The stinging pain came, and Zi Teng stretched out his hands and squeezed the ground flame rat tightly, but no matter how hard he tried, the ground flame rat just didn't let go.

Although the attack power of the ground flame rat is not strong, it also has the strength of the Demon Transformation Realm, not to mention that it is still known for its speed, and it is not so easy for Zi Teng, who was bitten by a bite, to deal with it, and one person and one rat rolled on the ground.

"If you want to absorb me, I will absorb you. ”

Thinking that the ground flame rat wanted to absorb his soul power, Zi Teng also launched a ruthless attack, grabbed the tail of the ground flame rat, opened his mouth and bit the body of the ground flame rat, and with a burst of hissing, he saw the blood of the ground flame rat, and kept flowing into Zi Teng's mouth.

After a stalemate like this, Zi Teng was rolling under a rock, and the ground rat also loosened its mouth softly.

It turned out that this ground rat was actually sucked dry of blood by Zi Teng and died.

Zi Teng wiped the blood from his mouth and was about to get up, but the rock beside him suddenly lit up, and he saw a phantom and instantly pounced.

"Ah, Stoneheart......"

Zi Teng's heart was beating wildly, and he stretched out his hand to block it.

However, the Earth Flame Rats in the Demon Transformation Realm were all food for the Stone Heart Demon, how could Zi Teng's cultivation stop it, and the Stone Heart Demon instantly drilled through Zi Teng's fingers, and directly entered Zi Teng's eyebrows.

Zi Teng only felt a "boom" in his brain, and he had a feeling that his soul was about to be pulled out of his body, so he hurriedly hugged his head with both hands, wanting to relieve the pain of being evacuated.

However, the stone heart demon that entered his brain, after a period of chaos, soon entered the dantian along the meridians.

Because the stone heart demon was running too fast in Zi Teng's body, Zi Teng's meridians were about to burst, and the sudden sharp pain made Zi Teng not fall up in one breath, but turned his eyes over, and he fell to the ground and fainted.

It was quiet again.

The lava flow was still flowing slowly, lining the top of the mound with a little purple, but adding a bit of warmth.

A few glowing rocks have long since faded.

Just as Zi Teng fell to the ground, several strange phantoms burst out of the rocks and flashed towards Zi Teng's eyebrows.

I don't know how long it took, at the center of Zi Teng's eyebrows, the fire-shaped mark that had not appeared for a long time suddenly flashed, and then it burned like a fire, which looked particularly demonic......
