The white-bearded mulberry tree does not grow high, and two people can reach the leaves with their hands. It's just that the only part of this tree that can be used for medicine is new shoots, so the time to pick new leaves grows.

Pick and pick...... Jiang Chen felt that something was not right.

Jing Yu next to him also stopped his movements at about the same time.

Something is really wrong.

It's so quiet in the valley.

Although I didn't encounter any demon beasts along the way, the sound of the wind blowing, the sound of leaves rubbing against each other, and the cries of demon beasts in the distance still abounded.

But at this moment, it was as if he had a sound-isolating earmuff on his head, and the whole world was silent.

There was no wind, and even the air seemed to be stagnant.

It's quiet enough to hear your own breathing and heartbeat.

Jing Yu didn't say a word, put away the white-whiskered mulberry leaves in his hand, and suddenly retreated backwards, only saying one sentence:

"Run!"

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, Jiang Chen did not hesitate, and followed him to the protection formation of Boyang Academy.

But when the two of them were about to step into the formation next, things took a turn for the worse.

In front of the two of them, there seemed to be an invisible wall, blocking their steps.

"It's a formation. "People set up formations here and wait for people to arrive in advance. Jiang Chen chuckled in his heart and secretly said that it was not good, and at this time he knew how forward-looking Jingyu's caution was just now.

"Maybe it's a mistake. Jing Yu said in a low voice.

In fact, they all know very well that the possibility of breaking in by mistake is very small. Whoever would arrange the formation outside the protective array of Boyang Academy, and it happened to be around the white-bearded mulberry tree they were going to pick.

Jiang Chen's first reaction was that his identity was exposed.

Jing Yu had already held the black hammer in his hand and looked around vigilantly.

Overhead, the ghost car was circling, anxiously trying to fall to help his master. However, the top of them was also like all around, and they were blocked by invisible walls, and they could not get out or enter.

At this time, Jiang Chen realized that he didn't even have a decent weapon.

He suddenly felt that his vigilance was too weak, and he knew that he was in danger all the time, so he didn't even look for a suitable weapon.

He could only hold the dagger he had picked out from Boyang's arsenal in his right hand, and pinched a primary spell trick in his left hand.

It's just that this dagger still has no blade, only a bare hilt, and the beginning of school is still short, and he has not yet been exposed to many combat skills, so it is inevitable that his heart will be weak at this time.

Eight feet had been sleeping in his clothes, but from just now, this guy seemed to be very uneasy, leaning close to the edge of the formation under their feet, leaning down, his eyes widened, and he didn't say a word.

Jiang Chen had no intention of it, turned his back to Jingyu, waited with bated breath, and was about to face the enemy.

Whoever placed the formation here must have a purpose.

I hope to ask for things but not for life.

For a moment, I didn't wait for someone to show up...... The tense bodies of the two seemed to be a little numb.

"——!"

Suddenly! The sharp sound of breaking the air burrowed into his ears, and before he could react, the voice had already reached the back of his head, mixed with an indescribable breath that made Jiang Chen feel cold.

After a long period of physical fitness and Buku training, his reflexes have improved a lot, and at this time, his brain has not yet thought, and his body reflexively squats down, supports the ground with his palms, and flips to the side.

Jing Yu beside him had already picked up the hammer the moment the voice sounded, crossed over Jiang Chen's head, and slammed it in one direction.

Immediately afterwards, a strong wind blew and a huge metal collision sound sounded, which shook people's ears and did not go away for a long time!

As Jing Yu moved, he saw a cold object flying away along the force of the blow, and it was about to sink into the forest.

If there is no one, the hand that suddenly appeared in the bushes.

It was a white and slender hand, if it wasn't for the fight, if it wasn't for the fact that he was catching a weapon, Jiang Chen would have mistakenly thought that it was a girl's soft hand.

However, the hand was firmly on the spot that was still moving at high speed due to inertia.

This one is very casual, like pinching a beautiful flower.

What he was holding, however, was a handful of blues.

It was a weapon, shaped like a boomerang, with a sharp blade along the outer ring, thin but chilly.

Thinking that it was this thing that shaved past the back of his head just now, Jiang Chen was covered in cold sweat.

He wasn't one to be ridiculed by others, but at this time there was a strong instinct that kept telling him:

The owner of this hand is strong, so strong that trying to kill him is like pinching an ant to death.

The sensation was so sharp that it only pierced his mind, causing him to feel pain in his head.

After he enrolled in Boyang Academy, he learned that although there are different cultivation realms in the cultivation world, it is not like in literary works, where people in the high realm can see the cultivation of people in the lower realm at a glance.

In fact, without special equipment to detect 'spiritual' abilities, it is very difficult for an individual to judge the cultivation of others through observation—unless, as is the case now, the other party is not only much stronger than himself, but also deliberately uses it for himself.

What Jiang Chen and the others are receiving now is this so-called "coercion" feeling, like shouldering a heavy burden of a thousand catties, although they are still standing, their legs unconsciously tremble slightly.

Jingyu also had cold sweat on his forehead, and they all knew very well that the current enemy was not something that two fledgling students could defeat on their own.

You can only ask for peace, and ask the other party about their demands first.

"This senior. Jiang Chen tried to keep his voice as steady as possible: "Is there anything we need to do?"

It's false to say that you're not afraid, the previous life was born in New Kyushu, grew up under the red flag, and thrived in civilized society, at most, it was to the extent of fighting with the gangsters in society.

It was the first time he felt his life threatened.

It turns out that people in extreme states will be unusually calm. It's a pity that if the final result is not as expected, it will drag down Jingyu.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look at my companion with apologies: if I could go back, I would have to confess some of the facts to him anyway.

If you can go back.

The hand in the bush took Blue and walked out with a man.

The man was dressed in a black military uniform, with a huge hat on his head, and his entire face was included in a black mask, making it difficult to see his face. It can be inferred from the body shape only that it should be a man.

The other party looked very relaxed, leaning against a large thick tree, bowing his head and playing with the weapon in his hand:

"It's a shame. He said, his voice muffled.

What do you mean?

Jiang Chen and Jingyu were silent, waiting for him to continue.

No one noticed that Hachi, who was in the corner, was staring at the man leaning against the tree, trembling all over.

The man seemed to chuckle and raised his hand to point his weapon at the two of them: "If it weren't for him, you would have died just now." ”

Jiang Chen understood this sentence, this person was referring to that if it wasn't Jingyu just now, then he would have died.

Is it really for yourself?

Jing Yu didn't react when he heard this, he didn't even give Jiang Chen a look, he just stared at the mysterious man without blinking, and from Jiang Chen's point of view, Jing Yu's back was already completely drenched with sweat.

"I didn't expect that either. The man sighed again: "One day, I will touch two juniors who are just starting out." ”

The man spoke unhurriedly, and his tone didn't seem to worry about them attacking or fleeing, sounding like a cat playing with two dying mice.

Jiang Chen's heart had completely cooled down.

Xia Mai was right, he was indeed in danger, and Boyang Academy did give him shelter. Otherwise, why would he just take a step out of the scope of the school, and immediately usher in such a catastrophe.

"Why?" Jiang Chen still wanted to ask. He had the last hope in his heart, and if he knew the other party's appeal, maybe he would have a chance to persuade.

"Why?" the mysterious man asked, "Are you pretending, or do you really not know?"

Jiang Chen put the fingers of his left hand behind his back and said calmly, "I don't know what you're talking about." ”

As soon as his words fell, the mysterious man suddenly flicked his fingers, and the thin blue of his arm flew out like lightning!

Jing Yu has been paying attention to the man's every move, and at this time he flew up and smashed it with a hammer!

But the bent weapon seemed to have life, and it turned in a different direction halfway, heading straight for Jiang Chen!

The other party has no intention of continuing, which is the worst-case scenario.

When it was too late, Jiang Chen's left hand suddenly threw out, exerted force under his feet, and his body rushed to his side again!

A burst of thunder crackled and struck Blue as he moved.

Elementary spell, Thunderbolt.

The spell was so weak that it only shook the weapon slightly when it hit Blue.

But it was this very faint burst that made the cold light that flew in by an inch and flew out grazing Jiang Chen's neck.

Ignoring the small wound on his neck cut by Blue's wind blade, he crouched on the ground and gasped for air.
