Chapter 54: The Shadow of the Night
Four horses galloped all the way through the Black Wilderness Valley.
By the time everyone arrived at the exit of the Black Barren Mountain, a black curtain had fallen on the horizon, and the curtain was full of stars.
It was late at night, and the entire mountain forest behind was quiet, surprisingly quiet.
"In that case, let's leave it at that. ”
The chubby middle-aged man chuckled and said, "Be careful all the way, we'll see you in the future, and we'll see you later!"
"I've been tired of you all the way. Ning Yu smiled and solemnly returned the salute: "There will be a period later." ”
At this time, the other people in the carriage also poked their heads out and waved goodbye.
"Watch out all the way, two!" a young man shouted.
Ning Yu smiled and waved his hand, watching the group drive the carriage away.
He turned his head to look at the thin old monk, with confusion and doubt in his eyes.
"Master, the time used to hurry is tight, you ...... What is the intention?" He still can't figure it out.
It's not to say that it's to let him experience all kinds of life, right?
He is still very self-aware, he shouldn't have that qualification yet, so he can let Master Huihai guide him so carefully, right?
"They're being targeted. The thin old monk said lightly.
Only then did Ning Yu realize that the body of the thin old monk had been exuding a weak golden aura all the time, and he had been focusing on talking to others before, but he had never noticed this.
"Targeted, by whom?" he was a little puzzled in his eyes, and guessed casually: "Are those bandits before?"
Master Huihai shook his head, didn't say much, but turned around and looked towards a peak behind him.
I hadn't paid much attention before, but after being woken up by his words, Ning Yu also discovered a lot of abnormalities in this place at this time!
Even in the middle of the night, the place was a little too quiet......
Moreover, after calming down, he also vaguely felt a faint trace of cold aura looming behind him!
Turning his head, he followed Master Huihai's gaze, and saw a dark shadow standing silently on the mountain peak on the side of the canyon.
Ning Yu's blue eyes, even in the inky night, could clearly glimpse every line on the leaves, and naturally discovered its existence at a glance!
It has a pair of vertical eyes as red as blood, and it looks quite creepy in the dark, like a demon. The most striking thing is its extremely strong two forefeet, as thick as a water tank, which anyone can see, and there must be an explosive force hidden in them, I am afraid that with a simple step, it can crush people into pulp!
Looking at each other, Ning Yu was instantly shocked by the cold gaze of this blue fierce beast, and for a while he felt stiff and unable to move!
His heart was shocked beyond measure, the demonic beast in front of him was definitely the most terrifying one he had ever seen, far from being comparable to those first-order demonic beasts in the West Stone Forest.
Second-order, or ...... Third order?
Its eyes, as if they had been soaked in blood, just a casual glance made Ning Yu feel cold as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
January, a peak, and a beast, the three outline a perfect picture, but it makes everyone who has seen it feel terrified.
Fortunately, the gaze of the dark blue figure only stayed on Ning Yu for a moment, and then it shifted to Master Huihai's body, facing this ancient monk-level existence, even if it was as strong as it, there was a solemn expression on its face, it relied on its innate wild intuition, it could feel that the person in front of it was absolutely extraordinary, and it was precisely out of fear of it that it had not moved.
After the carriage was gone, the mountains and forests fell into a dead silence, as if all the other living creatures had avoided the place, and only the three of them were left in the field.
Ning Yu looked at the blue figure on the top of the mountain dumbfounded, held his breath, and didn't even dare to make a sound, so he had to secretly look at the thin old monk on the side.
And Master Huihai looked at him with a calm face, his eyes were like a pool of deep water, and there were no waves, as if nothing could alarm him at all.
This also made Ning Yu breathe a sigh of relief, as if he had taken a reassuring pill and was much more relieved.
The dark blue figure stared at the two figures below, as if thinking about something, and looked like he was about to move.
It's just that Master Huihai is not an ordinary person after all, and the aura emanating from his body really shocked it, making it a little difficult to make a decision for a while.
In the Black Barren Mountain, it can be said to be invincible and invincible, any creature in front of it, must honestly prostrate on the ground, do not dare to be disrespectful, and even as long as it smells its breath from a distance, it will be far away, for fear that it will suffer.
Although this dark blue figure has dominated here for a long time, it is still the first time it has encountered such a terrifying existence as a thin old monk.
Although its previous hunting experience had given it absolute confidence, it was still shaken in the face of the emaciated figure surrounded by a faint golden light.
The moonlight is cold, scattered among the mountains and forests, as if it has put on a silver-white plain coat here.
The silver moonlight reflected on the mountain peaks, completely exposing the figure hidden in the darkness to the light.
At this time, Ning Yu really saw its true face.
It is a giant four-legged beast that looks like a lion and a tiger and is a little similar to a deer cow, covered with dark blue hair, as if it is infected with the deepest undercurrent under the sea, just looking at it from a distance, it makes people feel the coldness that originates from the depths of darkness.
Under the illumination of the moonlight, its fur became more and more cold and intimidating, and even gave Ning Yu an illusion.
It was as if as long as he reached out and touched it, he would be frozen in place in an instant!
This is the most intuitive feeling he can experience when he is here now.
Compared with its two extremely strong forefeet, its hind feet seem a little small, only about two-thirds the thickness of the forefeet, but even so, this hind foot can not be surrounded by a single person, so it can be seen that the size of this four-legged beast is indeed much larger than some ordinary beasts.
Ning Yu thought that in the Qi Refining Realm, his divine sense was definitely quite sharp, but he still couldn't discover the existence of this four-legged giant beast.
If you really want to say it, it's because the hair of this strange beast is too special, and it fits perfectly with the night, so people ignore it unconsciously, and with its cultivation, if you really want to hide, as long as you restrain your breath, few people can find out.
This is also the reason why it followed all the way, and Ning Yu couldn't find out.
I'm afraid that only an existence like Master Huihai can get a glimpse of some clues from some clues.
The stars and the moon are cold, and the night breeze is clear.
The battle that was expected to take place did not break out in the end.
The dark blue four-legged beast retracted its gaze, turned around lightly, and slowly left in the night.
I saw that its figure disappeared into the mountain little by little, and with the passage of time, it finally disappeared into the shadows completely.
After he really left, the pressure in Ning Yu's heart was suddenly relieved, and he was completely relieved.
However, after calming down, there was a trace of doubt in his heart.
"Master, what is this strange beast chasing after us?" Ning Yu looked puzzled, turned around, and asked the thin old monk.
The two of them traveled lightly, poor and white, there should be nothing worth coveting each other, right?
"Who knows. ”
Hui Hai shook his head and said calmly: "Most of these strange beasts have an impermanent temperament, and it is not strange that they will do anything, and they cannot be treated with common sense. ”
He thought for a moment, and then said, "Perhaps, it found something that interested it." ”
"Something you're interested in?"
Ning Yu groaned, and suddenly remembered the strange fragrance wafting from the carriage before, although he was not very accomplished in pharmacology, but he had been exposed to these things for many years, and he was also very sensitive to this.
He could almost conclude that the goods loaded on the carriage before should have a unique herb from a remote place, this kind of thing is not of high grade, not even a kind of elixir, and the value is definitely not expensive, but it is extremely rare, at least he has never seen it in the area of Lingjiang City, plus the fragrance is very special, so maybe this thing attracted the big guy......
These strange beasts are really impermanent, unpredictable, Ning Yu sighed secretly in his heart.
"Let's go. Master Huihai withdrew his gaze from the top of the mountain and said.
He was a true top master in the Southern Regions, and even when he faced the four-legged beast before, his face did not show any abnormality.
This made Ning Yu sigh, and then thinking of the chatter when he was in the carriage before, he suddenly felt that the seemingly ordinary old monk in front of him seemed to be much more terrifying than he imagined!
At this time, it was almost ugly, the temperature plummeted, and the night road in the distance was also dark.
The two of them didn't have long to go, and then they found a place in the wilderness and stopped, intending to spend the night there.
Ning Yu gathered a pile of firewood from the surroundings, and after a while, the bonfire rose up, and the place became much warmer.
After what had happened before, his mind was now full of the figure of the four-legged beast, and he had no intention of sleeping.
The vast world, if it is really no wonder, compared to the entire Three Realms, Lingjiang City can only be regarded as a drop in the ocean, not long after going out, he actually saw such a terrifying existence, in addition to being frightened, Ning Yu actually had a trace of unbearable excitement in his heart.
He suddenly found that this trip to Tianhe City turned out to be so attractive and beautiful, and he couldn't help but start looking forward to the next trip.
Raising his head and looking at the other side, he saw Master Huihai sitting quietly and silently, obviously having settled down early.
In such a wilderness, you can put aside distracting thoughts and meditate without distractions, which is really amazing, but fortunately it is far away from the Black Barren Mountain, which belongs to the ordinary suburbs, although there are also some wild beasts infested, but it is not that dangerous.
Ning Yu was bored, but he couldn't sleep, so he could only pick up a dry wood and poke the fire silently.
The flames rose and crackled the dry wood, making a crackling sound from time to time.
These days over the mountains and mountains, running around day and night, even if his body is as strong as Ning Yu, he is still a little tired at the moment, after all, he is still just a spirit, and he can barely keep up with Master Huihai's hurry, which is already very good, the gap in cultivation is there, even if Master Huihai has slowed down the pace of hurrying, it is still very difficult to keep up with him.
"It's so late, aren't you resting?"
After about half an hour, Master Huihai slowly opened his eyes and asked.
"I've got to go tomorrow. ”
The discussion of Tianhe City is not a child's play, but a major event related to the dispute between the two domains, so even a figure like Master Huihai does not dare to ignore it.
In three months, it is not easy to travel from Lingjiang City to Tianhe City, a journey of 80,000 miles.
He knew very well how difficult this was for a spirit master, and it was precisely because he was afraid that Ning Yu would be exhausted halfway through, so he would take time out like this and let the two of them stop and rest for a while.
"Can't sleep......"
Seeing the old monk wake up, Ning Yu touched his head and laughed embarrassedly.
His face was completely sleepy, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly asked, "Master, why don't you come and tell me a story?"
It seemed that he had completely forgotten that in front of him, it was the top existence in the entire Southern Regions!
The thin old monk chuckled, the corners of his mouth helplessly outlined a faint smile, and asked, "What do you want to hear?"
"Hmmm......"
Ning Yu rubbed his chin with his hand, and after pondering for a while, he asked tentatively, "What about the Southern Regions?"
Hearing this, Hui Hai couldn't help but laugh dumbly, shook his head, and said a little speechlessly: "The things in the Southern Regions are like stars in the sky, countless and countless, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it for hundreds of years." ”
"That's right. In this regard, Ning Yu laughed a few times, knowing that his question was indeed a bit embarrassing, so he hurriedly changed his words, and said, "Why don't you introduce some of the top existences in the Southern Regions, right?"
Hearing this, Huihai thought about it carefully and said, "Well, since you are traveling for the first time in your life, then telling about it will also help you in the future." ”
Ning Yu's heart was already excited, he grinned, there seemed to be stars beating in his eyes, and his eyes looked at the thin old monk with a sparkling gaze.
Master Huihai shook his head with a smile, only to see that his eyes were deep, and he recalled it in his mind, and then he slowly spoke: "The entire Southern Regions occupy a radius of more than 100,000 miles, outstanding people, and strong people emerge in endlessly, and there are more than 100 strong people in the Spirit Realm that I know alone, and there are countless foundation building periods......
Although his face was indifferent, the words that he slowly spit out made Ning Yu couldn't help but be taken aback.
The Spirit Realm, that is definitely the existence that has entered the forest of the strong in the world, and it is a strong person who can be proud of one side.
But such a character, looking at the entire Southern Regions, there are more than 100 of them?!
