The next day, the dragon hunting team was a little faster, but it had only traveled about two hundred miles at the end of the day. Two days have passed, and we are not halfway there.

At night, the group found a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Learning from the lesson of last night, this time I deliberately found a cave to camp in, and sent people to take turns to watch the night. Perhaps because they felt that Hong Yuan's cultivation was too low, the group directly exempted Hong Yuan from the qualification to be on duty at night and let him sleep in the innermost part of the cave.

Hong Yuan was naturally happy and relaxed, and after eating and drinking, he lay down to rest.

The night was getting darker, and the people who had been tired all day were falling asleep, leaving only two young people who were in charge of the night duty sitting at the entrance of the cave and whispering something, and the sound came faintly.

"Brother Ma, what happened last night? Why are there so many demon beast corpses around the camp overnight? Is it really a plague as the swallow said, or is there some powerful demon beast?" asked a young man.

"I don't know, who can say clearly?"

Another young man replied, "Fortunately, we are far away from that place now, so there should be no danger." Since Yanzi said that it was a plague, then I believe that it was a plague, the Zou family has dominated our Donghai City for hundreds of years, and there are many masters in the family and have left a lot of exercises and travel notes, maybe Yanzi secretly saw any signs. Of course, we still have to be careful, pay more attention to the movement around us, and don't fall asleep. ”

"Well, I hope tonight has a safe night. ”

The voices of the two young men became lower and lower, and they were cautiously guarded outside the entrance of the cave, and after holding out for more than two hours, they were replaced by two other young men on duty. At the beginning, the two young people on the top shift were still very vigilant, but after a long time, in the second half of the night, they slowly became confused.

In the darkness, Hong Yuan, who was the first to lie down, suddenly got up and stood up, walked past the people like a light breeze, and left the camp silently.

When everyone was eating, drinking, and merrymaking, Hong Yuan seized the time to rest;

When others were asleep, he began to cultivate. Somewhat different from others, for Hong Yuan, comprehending various exercises is cultivation, and collecting war pets and promoting the advanced transformation of war pets is also a kind of cultivation.

Just like last night, Hong Yuan sacrificed the purple smoke stove and incense Baili. Of course, in order to avoid scaring Zou Haiyan and other young people, he deliberately chose a cave far away from the camp.

The rich fragrance drifted out far away with the wind, Zou Haiyan and the others were all asleep and did not react, but there was a movement in the mountains and forests shrouded by the night dragon, and many demon beasts and reptiles followed the fragrance towards the cave. Soon, a new round of slaughter was staged, and the Scorpion King frantically hunted the prey that was hooked, from birds and beasts to ordinary voles.

Although the bait was all small characters, and there were no powerful demon beasts, after devouring the blood essence of a large number of prey one after another, the Scorpion King gradually changed. Instead of expanding, the body began to shrink, as if to compress the power in the body, and a faint golden light flashed on the surface of the body. In the end, he even lay on the ground and did not move, no longer paying attention to the prey fleeing for his life, and began a new round of transformation.

"The body emitted a golden light and turned into a golden scorpion?"

Hong Yuan held the Scorpion King in his palm and looked at it carefully, looking forward to it more and more, not knowing what the Scorpion King would become. His requirements are not high, after the transformation of the Scorpion King, he can have one-thousandth of the combat power of the Scorpion God of War in his heyday, that is enough, and he can definitely sweep away the demons entrenched in the Night Demon Stone Forest!

Hong Yuan observed for a while, and was about to receive the Scorpion King into the deadwood ring, but the little guy suddenly jumped up from his palm and lay on Hong Yuan's left shoulder, obviously unwilling to stay in the deadwood ring.

The deadwood ring has not been repaired, although it can be easy to carry a few war pets, but it lacks vitality, and it cannot absorb the aura of heaven and earth in it, which is not conducive to the cultivation of many war pets. Hong Yuan was not reluctant, and let the Scorpion King lie on his shoulder.

Compared with last night, there were not many demon beast reptiles hunted by the Scorpion King, but they were basically concentrated in the cave, and a thick layer of demon beast corpses was laid on the ground. Hong Yuan found some dry firewood, directly burned the corpses of these demon beasts, and after walking out of the cave, he slashed out with a knife, and a large amount of sand and stones collapsed to block the cave. After looking around and making sure that all traces were cleared, Hong Yuan floated away.

The night was dark, and there was still some time before dawn, and it was quiet around the camp.

Hong Yuan's steps were brisk, he walked silently, and was about to quietly walk into the cave, when he suddenly stopped with a sense in his heart.

In a small forest behind him, there was a sudden sound of stepping on a dead branch, Zou Haiyan walked out of the darkness, and then the fat man Liang Laosan. In the bushes on the left, three young people walked out, and several others also came out of the cave, looking at Hong Yuan, who had returned late at night, all of them with guarded expressions and unkind faces.

Careless!

When did these gentlemen, who only know how to eat, drink and have fun, be so shrewd?

Hong Yuan smiled bitterly in his heart, he deliberately went to a place far away from the camp to cultivate tonight, but he didn't expect that there would still be trouble.

"Uncle, where have you gone?"

Zou Haiyan's eyes were sharp, and she secretly glanced at Liang Laosan, and motioned the latter to follow Hong Yuan's footprints to search, looking Hong Yuan up and down to find out what was suspicious, "Your shoes are stained with a lot of mud and dew, you must have been out for a while, don't say, you came out conveniently." ”

"Of course not, Miss Swallow has good eyesight, and I will come out in the second half of the night. Hong Yuan was a little surprised in his heart, knowing that he really underestimated Zou Haiyan, and what he said was true or false.

"What are you doing here?"

Zou Haiyan's eyes became fierce and aggressive, "Did you do what happened last night?"

Many young people became nervous, and they drew their sharp swords one after another, remembering the corpses of demon beasts all over the ground inside and outside the camp last night, and some people were so nervous that their palms and backs were full of sweat.

"Miss Swallow said with a smile, if I had that ability, I could kill so many demon beasts in one night, and I still need to wander around and earn a few taels of silver by driving?" Hong Yuan smiled bitterly, sighed faintly, and looked helpless, "That's it, I was worried about your jokes, I don't want to say more." Now it seems that I can't do it without saying anything, tonight, I went to practice knives. ”

"In the middle of the night, I went to the woods to practice knives?" Zou Haiyan obviously didn't believe it.

Hong Yuan didn't answer, took out the tiger head knife on his back, and practiced the wind chasing knife in public, of course, deliberately slowed down. The moves look decent, and in the eyes of everyone, they really have the demeanor of a wandering swordsman. It's a pity that the last knife was slashed on the trunk of the tree, the trunk was not broken, but the blade was loosened, and only a piece of the handle was left in Hong Yuan's hand. Everyone was quite nervous just now, and they couldn't help but laugh when they saw this scene.

Zou Haiyan also smiled, and at this time, Liang Laosan hurriedly turned back.

"How's that?" asked Zou Haiyan.

"It's nothing, except for some messy footprints, I can't see anything unusual, there are no demon beast corpses. Liang Laosan replied, just now, on Zou Haiyan's order, he went to search the surrounding woods to see if there were any demon beast corpses.

Zou Haiyan inserted the sword back into the scabbard, and at this time finally eliminated her suspicions about Hong Yuan, and instead smiled, "Uncle, what kind of sword technique are you?"

"Chasing the Wind Knife Technique. Hong Yuan told the truth, but he didn't hide this.

"Haha, you also call it the Wind Chasing Knife Technique? The rabbit can't catch up, and if you catch up, you can't kill it. If you want to practice swordsmanship, you should buy a good knife first. Zou Haiyan looked happy, and wanted to laugh when she remembered Hong Yuan's last move just now.

"Hehe, I'm a late bloomer. ”

Hong Yuan was not embarrassed, with a free and easy look, he glanced at the fat man Liang Laosan, who was sweating profusely, and smiled secretly in his heart. After walking out of the cave, he deliberately made a cover-up, and it would be strange if this fat man could really find any suspicion or evidence.

"Uncle, isn't it too late for you to be a late bloomer?

Zou Haiyan suddenly reached out and took off Liang Laosan's treasure knife, threw it to Hong Yuan along with the scabbard, pursed her lips and turned around with a smile.

"Eh, Yanzi, that's my family's autumn water knife, why did you suddenly give it to him?"

Liang Laosan was in a hurry, and followed behind Zou Haiyan to ask for an explanation, and the two walked towards the camp in the cave in a fight.

Hong Yuan didn't pay attention to what they said, took the Qiushui knife and looked at it carefully, and his eyes lit up when he only pulled out half of the knife. This knife is moderately weight, and the blade is shining with a breathtaking cold light, although it is far less than the blood-sucking scythe known as the first of the three famous knives in Shattered Leaf City, it is definitely a rare treasure knife, which is just right for self-defense and disguise identity on the road.

"Good knives!"

Hong Yuan flicked his fingers, listened to the sound of the knife body vibrating, and exclaimed, and was about to pull out all this autumn water knife to practice a few moves, when he suddenly frowned slightly.

In the darkness, heavy footsteps could be heard in the distance. Soon, the ground shook, and a murderous group of black-armored cavalry rushed out of the darkness. Dressed in heavy armor, they were tall and wielding heavy swords nearly two meters long, and the armor was carved with a fiery red flame. When they arrived in front of the people, the cavalry did not slow down, and quickly dispersed to surround the people. There were hundreds of people in large numbers, and only a cold eye appeared on the whole body.

"Formation!"

Zou Haiyan turned around and rushed back, commanding everyone to stand back to back, swords coming out as if facing a great enemy.

Suddenly surrounded by such a group of cavalry at night, even Zou Haiyan, who was the leader, panicked, and a line of fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and the fat man Liang Laosan and the others were even more unbearable, trembling one by one. The name of the group was loud, called the Dragon Hunting Clan, but before they arrived at the Night Demon Stone Forest, they were surrounded by this group of cavalry and became terrified.

Hong Yuan pressed the big hat on his head, and stood quietly in the crowd, with some surprises and doubts in his heart, not knowing the origin and meaning of this group of cavalry.
