Jiang Chen squatted on the ground, inhaling heavily, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

The exertional breathing made his chest pain worse.

Eight feet lying on the ground softly, his eyes closed tightly, not moving, without his usual lively appearance.

Jiang Chen picked it up and put it in his clothes as usual.

The little one's life was more tenacious than he had imagined, his body was warm, and his heart was beating fast through his clothes.

I couldn't help but exhale.

It was his first fight.

To be precise, this is not a battle at all, it is completely unilaterally crushed, if it weren't for the ghost-like situation just now, he must have died at this moment.

Quite different from what he once envisioned. It turns out that people are always too naïve before they encounter setbacks: not only is he not a combat power at all, but he can't even protect a demon beast that follows him.

Jiang Chen fell into a deep negative emotion.

There seems to be a bottomless vortex of darkness in my heart, swallowing up all the light.

There is a voice in my head that keeps shouting, weak, you are weak.

He listened numbly, yes, I'm weak.

His eyes are getting darker and darker, just like the road ahead, and he can't see clearly when he is clear and extinguished.

At this moment, a hand gently put on his shoulder, pulling him back to reality.

Feeling the continuous but firm warm current from the shoulders seems to dispel the slightest coldness in the heart.

Jiang Chen was a little sluggish and looked back slowly.

It was Jingyu who was staring into his eyes.

In fact, the other party's physical condition may not be stronger than his own, but he still spares no effort to instill the 'spirit' into himself.

This fellow, who never cried, laughed or spoke much, seemed to want to comfort him very much at this time, and tried to bend the corners of his mouth out of the arc.

He believed that Jing Yu must have many doubts, but the other party didn't ask anything at this time, and just stared at him with a firm gaze:

"Go back first. ”

Didn't say comforting words, didn't pursue superfluous questions.

There was no reproach in the tone, and there was no room for negotiation.

He was indeed very grateful to this partner, and he didn't want to let himself become a burden to others, so he stood up, held the little eight in his arms, and staggered in the direction he came from with Jingyu.

As when they came, neither of them spoke.

But they knew very well that when they went back this time, many things would be different.

Along the way, walking, he gradually calmed down.

Although the unprepared first battle brought him a lot of psychological stimulation, he was not a person who could get by, and he was even more unwilling to be confused, gritting his teeth to prevent his nerves from collapsing.

Begin to make an effort to analyze everything you encounter today.

First of all, the first question, who is the person who ambushed him.

This question can be said to have an answer, but there is no answer.

There are two clues: First, Eight Feet chooses to protect the opponent when he fights himself. Second: The other party claims to have taken his things.

There are only two things on his body of unknown origin: a dagger and a Qiankun ring.

Combining the two clues, the other party should be here to get his own Qiankun ring. And he has a lot of relationship with Eight Feet, at least more intimate than himself and Eight Feet.

The answer is about to come out: this mysterious man in black should be the owner of the eight-foot.

But who exactly is the owner of Eight Feet?

He had thought that this man should have died long ago. He thought of the skeleton in the Qiankun Ring, and his thoughts wandered even more.

When he first met Eight Feet, he tried to explain to Eight Feet that his owner had died, but the little guy was very unimpressed......

With a pain like a split head, Jiang Chen rubbed his temples.

Let's put aside the issue of the identity of the eight-foot master, the second question:

Why did this man in black take back his Qiankun ring?

From the contact and conversation with the man in black just now, you can feel that the other party is at least a monk who is much stronger than himself, and he will never arrange such a complicated situation simply for the sake of a spatial magic weapon.

Unless...... There was something in this space artifact that he couldn't forget.

It's just that, after my own inspection, it can be called empty except for Xiaoba.

Could it be ...... Want to get the skeleton back, but it doesn't make sense......

This problem also came to a dead end, and he decided to wait until he returned to a safe place, and he must explore the Qiankun ring again.

In fact, it is not very difficult to solve these problems, as long as Bachi wakes up, there will always be clues when asked.

It's just that...... Feeling the faint breath of the animal in his arms, I hope that this little guy will be okay in the end.

After all, after getting along for a while, I still have feelings for Bachi. In today's affairs, it did not hurt itself either, it just stood in the way of its master. I don't know the story between the other party and the man in black, so I don't have anything to say about its choice.

There are still many questions tangled in Jiang Chen's mind, but he can't always calm down and think, and his mind is often blank after concentrating.

I don't know how long I walked like this, and finally returned to the place where the fat man was.

found that only Xia Mai and Zhu Yuanning were left to take care of the fat man, and Guan Yang and Tang Mengyao didn't know where they went.

Zhu Yuanning saw the two of them from a distance, so he waved them over.

Although they had experienced a battle, both of them only had small wounds, but their clothes were relatively disheveled.

It wasn't until they got closer that Zhu Xia and the two realized that something was wrong with their condition.

The two men looked so tired that they even walked as if their legs were filled with lead, and they didn't speak when they saw them, just nodded silently with solemn expressions.

"What's going on?" Xia Mai asked as she hurriedly pulled out a clean stone and sat them down to rest.

Jiang Chen and Jing Yu glanced at each other, but neither spoke.

Zhu Yuanning also followed: "Did you encounter any dangerous demon beasts?" It should be unlikely, the academy expelled all the middle and high-level demon beasts......

Jingyu bowed his head and was silent, silently took out a small handful of white-bearded mulberry leaves from the Qiankun ring and handed it to Zhu Yuanning: "Wake him up first." ”

Seeing that the two of them didn't say anything, Zhu Yuanning didn't want to ask, so he soaked some leaves in the kettle, and recited a mantra that he didn't know, and the originally transparent water turned green in an instant, and it seemed that even the liquid solidified.

Xia Mai supported the fat man, fed him little by little, and then sat quietly on the side and waited for him to wake up.

"What about the others?" Jiang Chen, who had been silent, spoke.

They said they wanted to pick some herbs from outside the task to give the group extra points, so they went to find them together. Xia Mai explained.

Jiang Chen seemed to have thought of something, and asked again: "Who proposed to pick herbs?"

This was a strange question, Xia Mai and Zhu Yuanning both looked up at him, and the two of them thought carefully for a while, but Zhu Yuanning said, "This...... I didn't pay much attention to it, it seemed like I was chatting and talking. ”

Xia Mai also shook his head, indicating that he was not clear.

After sitting here and resting for a while, the fat man finally reacted, and woke up with a dazed face and a sore face.

After a while, he asked what had happened before, so Xia Mai told him one by one.

Although the fat man was still a little weak, he couldn't forget the gag: "What???Sister Wheat, don't scare me, according to what you say, then I won't be looked down on by you! Who is responsible for me!"

Xia Mai laughed and said, "That's not really you! Besides, the old man still cares about this?"

It's just that although the girl's mouth is joking with the fat man, her eyes are glancing at Jiang Chen from time to time.

Somehow, Jiang Chen suddenly felt a wave of boredom in his heart, and felt that he was almost rested, so he got up and waved his hand: "I have something, I have to go back and report to Teacher Zhang." ”

Xia Mai's eyes became more and more worried.

Jingyu got up and wanted to join him, but he also refused. Zhu Yuanning didn't speak this time, but just looked at him deeply.

Now, no one can believe him.

What Jiang Chen needs most now is to be quiet and analyze things as they are.

He found that almost everyone around him had their own secrets, which he didn't care too much about, but after such a time, he only shuddered when he thought about it, and he must distinguish whether these people around him are people or ghosts.

Compared with the classmates around him, he trusts the teachers of Boyang College more.

Today's mysterious man in black obviously did not dare to start within the scope of Boyang Academy's protection, which also confirmed the credibility of the faculty and staff in Boyang Academy from the side.

At least, it is much more trustworthy than these seemingly united and friendly classmates around me.

Holding Xiaoba in his arms, this time he had a rest, and Jiang Chen was in a hurry.

When I returned to the school's teleportation formation, I saw Zhang Baihui.

He was lying on a small raft, his hat covering his eyes, and a straw in his mouth, floating in the stream. And his hands hung down into the cold water, and his wide sleeves floated on the water of the stream.

"There it is!" I don't know what happened, but I happened to see him suddenly cry out in surprise, sit up like a child, and then raise his sleeves that would swing in the water, and grasp a fat fish in his hand.

The raft shook a few times in the water with his movements, and almost capsized.

Somehow, the moment Jiang Chen saw this person, his heart finally calmed down.
