Chapter Eighty-Five: Traces of Blood

It was already approaching evening, and although it was no longer in the center of the Black Devil Mountain Range, the surrounding trees were still tall, and the light was getting dimer and darker.

Shi Lei and Gu Yue, who were sitting on the black-haired pig, were a little groggy.

Shi Lei was now in a realm even stronger than the Ninth Layer Great Perfection of the Primordial Xuan Realm, and the speed at which he continued to absorb spiritual energy and cultivation had not improved much, so he infused most of the transformed spiritual power into Ah Mao's body.

"Little sister. Can we still get to Umeng City before dark?"

Gu Yue looked at the surrounding sky, felt the speed under her, calculated in her heart, and shook her head, "It shouldn't be there, I got it in the middle of the night." “

Shi Lei sighed softly, he miscalculated, he knew that he would stay by the lake and rest for the night, or be in the cave.

"Ah Mao, do you know if there are any caves on the road ahead?"

Mao slowed down his running speed, and after a moment changed direction and headed southwest.

After a while, we also came to a relatively flat place, although there was no lake or anything like that, but there was a small stream, and on both sides of the stream were low plants and small patches of grass.

Following the stream, following the direction of the current, after a while, a raised boulder appeared, and a swarthy cave appeared under the boulder.

This cave was obviously artificially opened, and Gu Yue could obviously see it at a glance, "Brother Shi Lei, this should be a resting place and a place to store the elixir carved out by the ancient medicine pickers." “

Shi Lei nodded slightly, and as he got closer, his face became slightly solemn, and he closed his eyes as if he was feeling something. At the same time, he clapped his hands and signaled Ah Mao to stop. After a moment, he frowned and said, "Little sister, the situation is a little wrong, there is a smell of blood in it. “

Hearing Shi Lei say this, Gu Yue concentrated his mind, and also felt the faint bloody breath coming from the cave.

The two glanced at each other, and heavy doubts flashed in their eyes.

"Little sister, Ah Mao, you are waiting here now, I'll go in and have a look. “

As he spoke, Shi Lei jumped down and walked slowly towards the cave full of vigilance.

Perhaps for disguise or concealment, the entrance to the cave is very small, just enough for one person to pass through, but after a few steps inside, the space suddenly opens up.

Shi Lei stared at the scene in front of him with wide eyes and took a deep breath.

Three corpses appeared in the cave, apparently dead for days. Dead people don't matter, he has seen them many times, and he has killed them himself. But the way the three people in front of him died still made him angry.

The three of them looked at the costumes, and it was indeed obvious that they were the medicine pickers of the ancient clan, and they only had the strength of the fifth or sixth layer of the Chu Xuan Realm, and they no longer had a piece of good meat in their bodies.

There are no eyeballs in the position of the eyes, only two deep blood holes, and the entire face, nose, and mouth have completely lost their appearance, which is obviously tortured and killed.

Shi Lei took another deep breath, slowly withdrew from the cave, and looked at Gu Yue.

"Little sister, there are three people from the ancient clan who have been dead for many days, but they are dead. “

He didn't know what to say, how to describe it. But Gu Yue obviously understood, jumped down from Ah Mao, dodged, and the person had disappeared in place.

Shi Lei didn't know how she would react, so he raised his hand lightly and touched Ah Mao's forehead, "Actually, it's good for you to be a pig here, free and carefree, if you go out, I'm really afraid that one day I won't be able to protect you, and you will be slaughtered." “

After a while, Gu Yue walked out with red eyes, still holding three small metal cards in his hands.

"These three people are the herb pickers of the Ancient Clan's Wumeng City, and one of them had appeared before when he was competing with the Blood Refining Sect, and he also celebrated at the Ancient Clan's Manor the night the competition ended. “

Shi Lei didn't know what to say, first sighed deeply, and then after a while, he asked, "Then who killed them, can you see it?"

"Blood Refining Sect", Gu Yue slowly spit out a few words from his mouth, gritting his teeth.

"This kind of thing has happened in other places in the Black Demon Mountain Range, and it is so cruel, but they have already penetrated so deep into the territory of the ancient clan, and they dare to act so recklessly. “

"Blood Refining Sect", a heavy hatred flashed in Shi Lei's eyes, "Sooner or later, one day, let's settle all the accounts together." “

"Little sister, you and Ah Mao go and wait first, and I'll deal with these people. The surrounding mountains and rivers are beautiful, and they are buried here, so as not to be bitten by wild beasts. “

Watching Gu Yue and Ah Mao move away to the side, he began to deal with everything inside the cave.

Half an hour later, it was completely dark, and Ah Mao lay quietly on the ground, revealing most of his black belly, and of course, indescribable parts.

Shi Lei leaned comfortably on his belly, the comfort was not much worse than the sofa, and he felt more and more that taking the black pig was an extremely correct decision, with many benefits.

Gu Yue was on the other side, clasping her hands and knees, sitting quietly, losing her former playful vitality.

"Little sister, don't worry, I'll avenge them in the future. “

"Brother Shi Lei, that's not what I'm thinking. Do you know, the Blood Refining Sect has become more and more arrogant in the past few years, and now it dares to go so deep into the realm of the ancient clan. They must have some confidence to dare to do this, I am afraid that in a few years, the ancient clan will not have a peaceful day. “

Only then did Shi Lei understand her worries and comforted, "Isn't there still a Black Demon Island Master, I think he is on the side of your ancient clan." “

Gu Yue raised her head and said softly, "This is the case now, but in a few years, the Black Devil Island will mainly be replaced." This time the owner of the island could have tried to break through a long time ago, but I don't know why he has been holding back until now. In a few years, there will definitely be a change, the next island master don't say help our ancient clan, it's good to be neutral, you must know that the current Blood Refining Sect is not afraid of the black devil lineage. “

Only then did Shi Lei discover the seriousness of the matter, and from the information he got from Gu Yue's mouth, he also guessed why the Black Demon Island Lord had been delayed in trying to break through.

He is waiting for the heaven-sent land, waiting for the Soul Melting Demon Flower, and he wants to fight for that trace of heaven.

But if he helped him get the Soul Melting Demon Flower, even if he was not the master of the Black Demon Island, he would definitely have a very heavy words in the Black Demon lineage, and it should be no problem for him to ask him to stand on the side of the Gu Clan again.

But at the same time, Shi Lei also thought of another question, that is, Yun Ling'er had said before that once the Black Demon Island Lord got the Soul Melting Demon Flower, he would definitely retreat and break through the Mortal Realm, and he would definitely go to the mainland after leaving the customs.

In that case, what right do he have in the dark devil lineage, after all, far water can't quench the thirst of the near.

After thinking about it for a long time, Shi Lei also fell into a deep headache and didn't know how to comfort him.

"Then tell the Gu Patriarch and others about the matter here in advance, since some things are unavoidable, then prepare early. We just have to work hard to improve ourselves, and there will definitely be a place for us when the time comes. “

Gu Yue put away some of her emotions and nodded, "Brother Shi Lei, what you said is right, don't cultivate under protection in the future, be like you." “

Shi Lei sighed, he really wanted to tell Gu Yue, in fact, you have always been like this, it's good, you don't need to cultivate so hard like me, but after thinking about the sinister nature of this world and the situation of the Gu clan, he still didn't say it.

After all, here, only when you are strong is the most real and reliable.

There was no word all night, and the two of them didn't have the usual good mood, and they have been resting and recovering quietly.

The first rays of sunlight in the morning shone into the cave, and Shi Lei opened his eyes.

Gu Yue beside her was also leaning on Ah Mao, still sleeping quietly, the eyebrows on her forehead were slightly wrinkled, worried about something.

Ah Mao also felt that Shi Lei had woken up, and his body moved slightly.

Shi Lei hurriedly patted it and motioned for it to be quiet. Then he quietly got up and walked out of the cave.

When I came here yesterday, it was getting dark. At this time, the sun is shining, and I found a gurgling stream, continuous bushes on both sides, and all kinds of small animals, a peaceful scene.

There must be a lot of elixirs around here, but unfortunately I don't know them and haven't touched them.

Shi Lei is also full of interest in elixir pills, and he doesn't have to think about it to know that it will bring great help to his cultivation in the future.

But at this time, it is not suitable for him to contact this aspect, the key is that he does not have time, and Yun Ling'er will not either, so this thought can only be said after returning from the heaven-given land, and even after arriving on the mainland, he can only try.

After all, the alchemy line on the continent is very powerful, and there will be many powerful elixir masters, and the Black Demon Domain is too barren, and an elixir master that the ancient clan has cultivated with great difficulty is gray-haired, and he is barely second-order.

Just as his thoughts were flying, there was a slight sound of footsteps behind him. You don't have to guess to know that it's Gu Yue.

"Little sister, you're awake"

"Hmm", Gu Yue lifted the hair in front of her forehead and walked to Shi Lei's side,

"Brother Shi Lei, when did you wake up, why didn't you call me. “

"I think you're the most comfortable sleep in the past few days, so I didn't bother you, and I'm in a better mood. “

"It's much better, it's good that Brother Shi Lei has you, it would be great if you could always be by my side. “

Gu Yue's eyes showed a hint of longing and yearning.

Shi Lei didn't respond, his face was a little unnatural, and only he knew what he was thinking about.

Ah Mao also came out of the cave with a hum, but walked to the side, looking down and smelling something from time to time.

Shi Lei obviously understood what it was going to do, and said, "Little sister, it may be hungry to find something to eat, let's go over too." “

Then the two of them followed Ah Mao all the way to a fruit grove, and the stream passed through the middle of the fruit grove.

Shi Lei and Gu Yue were picking and eating at the same time, and they had to say that this unknown fruit was very crisp and delicious.

And Ah Mao under the tree didn't eat much, snorted at Shi Lei twice, and then turned around and went to another place.

"Brother Shi Lei, what is it going to do?"

"It might have to find some other food, it's for us. “

Shi Lei guessed.

Gu Yue suddenly smiled, "It seems to be true, can you understand the language of pigs?" “

I don't know why, Shi Lei could indeed guess what it was trying to express through Ah Mao's tone and emotions, but listening to the obvious ridicule in the words, he shut up boringly and didn't answer.

But it didn't take long for Ah Mao to come back with a mouth full of blood, and at first glance, he was finished predating.

Gu Yue was stunned for a moment, her eyes wandered back and forth from Shi Lei and the black-haired pig, and she couldn't help but say, "Brother Shi Lei, you won't be a pig in your last life, you can really understand." “

Shi Lei rolled his eyes back at her, and said angrily, "You were a pig in your last life, and you are also a sow." “

"You!"
