Chapter 42: Ambush
Until Nan Huaijin left, the black tiger had been lying in the sun and pretending to sleep, without raising his head and taking another look.
Although just now, the black tiger clearly felt that there were eyes watching it. It also got up to look, but didn't realize where the target was.
Since he didn't feel the threat in his eyes, the black tiger looked at it casually and didn't take it to heart. As it grows up, it often feels that there are eyes on him, which are often its enemies.
To this day, it is the king of a territory. Some of the gazes it once felt were gone forever. The rest of it, it can't deal with, but it doesn't pose any threat to it anymore.
Have you ever seen the gaze of a twelve-year-old boy? that gaze is often innocent, innocent, innocent. Although he has more experience, Nan Huaijin is now only a teenager about twelve years old.
Therefore, even if his gaze is hostile, he will not let a demon beast in a territory feel dangerous.
In fact, it is precisely like this, now Nan Huaijin does not have the strength to deal with a first-level demon beast at all.
After leaving the Black Tiger's cave far away, Nan Huaijin did not stop all the way and rushed to his cave.
Since he had already walked this road when he came, Nan Huaijin was not as slow as when he came, so cautious and cautious.
Nan Huaijin added a light body to himself, holding the Qingling Sword in his hand, and galloped all the way.
At this time, spring is in full swing, and the branches of the trees are beginning to pull out new shoots, which look green. The spring breeze was blowing, and Nan Huaijin felt extremely comfortable in her heart.
Just being a teenager is the most beautiful time in life.
Since the speed of going back was much faster than the speed when he came, in less than two hours, Nan Huaijin vaguely saw his cave.
At this time, it is also the evening of the day.
Someone once said that the most beautiful thing is dusk. When the sun is about to set, the afterglow reflects the entire cloud. Explode into clouds of golden, yellow, pink, and purple glow.
It's incredibly beautiful, as if it's not something that should be in this world.
Some people like the morning sun and love a beautiful sunrise. The first rays of sunlight in the morning are like an arrow, blasting through thousands of darkness and bringing light to the world.
That kind of beauty shocked the hearts of all those who witnessed it and will never be forgotten.
Morning and dusk, morning and sunset. Both landscapes have their own merits.
Nan Huaijin and the nameless senior brother both like dusk.
When they were in Yuxi Peak, after a day of classes, the two would often watch the sun gradually set together and feel the bleak and lonely beauty.
What you see is your own world. Just like there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people, the different experiences and the eyes of things are naturally different.
Then because the experience is different, the things you like will also be different.
Every time they silently watched the sunset, Nan Huaijin and Nameless seemed to see themselves. So beautiful, yet so bleak.
It was an innate loneliness, a loneliness that no one could understand. Every time she sees the sunset, there is always a sad atmosphere in Nan Huaijin's heart.
Just like at this moment, outside the cave, Nan Huaijin stopped and quietly watched the most beautiful sunset at this dusk.
The sunset of Lin Xia Mountain Nan Huaijin is no stranger, because he had lived here for three years before and had seen the sunrise and sunset for three years.
But the sunset I see every day is different. Sometimes there are clouds, sometimes there are no clouds. When there are no clouds, the setting sun stains half the sky red. And when there are clouds, it will reflect thousands of colorful clouds.
But there is always one thing that will not change, that is, the desolation and loneliness that belong only to the twilight.
Nan Huaijin watched the sunset gradually set quietly, and it wasn't until he saw his senior brother come back namelessly that his eyes changed.
Nameless walked in front of his eyes, and behind him were thousands of colorful clouds. In Nan Huaijin's eyes, Nameless seemed to come from the light.
There is a person in the world who, when she leaves, will take away all the light from your world. That person you think about in your heart, and when you think of her, your heart aches faintly, but after all, it still dies without a problem.
But there will also be people in the world who will step on the light and illuminate your gloomy world. For Nan Huaijin, Senior Brother Nameless is the one who can illuminate his gloomy world.
This is the so-called confidant.
If you can meet a confidant in your life, you will have no regrets even if you die.
After Nameless saw Nan Huaijin, he didn't say hello, but came to his side silently and watched the sunset with him.
Nan Huaijin didn't speak, and his gaze returned to the setting sun. On days like this, the two are already extremely familiar.
"Senior brother, let's go back. It wasn't until the sun had completely set that Nan Huaijin spoke up.
"Well, got it, let's go. Nameless responded.
After returning to the cave, Nan Huaijin picked up some firewood and lit a fire. The two brothers sat down around the fire.
"Senior brother, have you gained anything today?" After sitting down, Nameless asked aloud first.
"Yes, senior brother. Nan Huaijin continued: "Today I discovered the territory of a demon beast, and that demon beast is a black tiger. But I didn't know exactly how many there were. However, at the entrance of the cave where the black tiger lives, there is a Lingqing grass growing. ”
"Oh, are you sure you're right, it's really Lingqingcao?" Nameless touched his chin and asked his question.
"The blue leaves and white spots shine on them, like stars. At that time, what Mr. said was very impressive, but how could he be mistaken, it was indeed Lingqingcao. Hearing the nameless question, Nan Huaijin replied affirmatively.
"Then it seems that we must get this Lingqing grass. This kind of spirit grass is very rare now. Hearing Nan Huaijin's affirmative words, Nameless said with a smile.
"Today I also found the territory of a group of gibbons, and I counted twelve of them. However, the cultivation is not particularly high, and it is about the level of the third level of qi refining, and only the leader is about the fifth level of qi refining. ”
Nameless also spoke out about his gains. After a pause, Nameless continued: "They are guarding a peach forest, and I guess it should be a spirit tree. Although it is spring, it has not borne fruit. But monkeys have a habit of making wine, and they should have made some spirit wine. ”
"Oh, is it true? Senior brother understands so well that after we get the Lingqing Grass, let's deal with this group of gibbons. Hearing the nameless words, Nan Huaijin said.
Nameless smiled and said, "Those who know me, junior brother also." That's what I intended. ”
"Okay, senior brother. In that case, we will go there tomorrow morning and set up an ambush. It's not too early, let's start cultivating. Hearing the nameless words, Nan Huaijin said.
"Hmm. Nameless nodded in reply and stood up.
Nan Huaijin then stood up, and the two brothers walked to the two opposite corners of the cave. Without disturbing each other, they each sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate.
Nothing was said all night.
"Rustle. ”
The shoe made a small cracking sound when it stepped on the grass.
After finishing their cultivation, Nan Huaijin and Nameless woke up and washed up briefly, and then began to set foot on the road.
Since Nan Huaijin had already walked back and forth on this road yesterday, the two brothers and sisters both performed a light body and hurried quickly without stopping.
It took about an hour and a half for the two of them to arrive at the place where Nan Huaijin arrived yesterday.
When they arrived at the place, the two stopped and did not walk straight forward. Because further on, there is the cave of the black tiger.
If discovered, their lives would be in danger. So after taking a look at the cave, the two did not go forward, but bypassed it far away.
After Nan Huaijin and the Nameless Senior Brother searched around the Black Tiger's cave for a while, they finally found a faintly visible path. Obviously, this is the way the Black Tiger must go.
"Senior brother, it seems that this is it. Nameless stopped, turned to Nan Huaijin and said.
"Well, senior brother, without further ado, let's bury the spirit rune quickly. Hearing the nameless words, Nan Huaijin responded as he took out a stack of spirit runes from his storage ring.
Seeing this, Nameless also took out a stack of spirit talismans from his storage ring. The two of them began to bury talismans around the path.
Since the two of them didn't know how many there were, in order to ensure that they could seriously injure the black tiger, of course, a spirit rune was buried at a distance of a few feet, and it was buried at a distance of ten zhang.
In order to ensure the power of the spirit runes, Nan Huaijin and the nameless duo also deliberately buried more than a dozen middle and high-level spirit runes that Sun Tie specially handed over to the two before leaving.
"In this way, it should be foolproof. After burying the spirit rune, Nan Huaijin said to Nameless with a smile.
"Yes, junior brother, we are now waiting for the arrival of the black tiger. Hearing Nan Huaijin's words, Nameless also responded with a smile.
The so-called everything is ready, only the east wind is owed. What the two lack now is the trap laid by the two of them in the black tiger.
