Chapter 11: The Barren Mountain Road

The next day, Xiao Tian wrapped himself in leather, which contained three days' worth of dry food, and some changes of clothes, bid farewell to his family, and headed for the road to Desert.

After walking for about forty or fifty miles, Xiao Tian stopped, feeling that there was a strange aura locking on him, and his heart suddenly became vigilant, as if he was being followed by someone.

"Who? Get out of here. ”

The maple tree in the trail shook, a few maple leaves floated down, and a familiar figure jumped down from the tree.

"Second brother, you found out. Xiao Meng smiled, curled up, and walked out slowly, as if he had been caught as a thief.

"Ghost spirit, why are you?" Xiao Tian looked at Xiao Meng suspiciously.

Seeing Xiao Meng wearing a martial arts uniform and carrying a long sword on his back, an ominous feeling appeared in Xiao Tian's heart, "Ghost spirit, you don't want to go to the barren mountains and forests with me for trials, right?"

"Second brother, you are so smart, I think you know everything, you are the roundworm in my stomach!" Xiao Meng opened his eyes wide and rubbed his hands.

"Nonsense, go back quickly! Barren Mountains and Forests are not something you can enter now?" Xiao Tian reprimanded.

Seeing Xiao Tian angry, Xiao Meng curled up for a moment, but he was not afraid at all, from childhood to adulthood, in the family, the second brother who spoiled him the most.

"Second brother, I don't want to stay at home, compete at home, all let me, I can't experience the real battle, second brother, take me with you." Xiao Meng pulled Xiao Tian's sleeve, coquettish, begging bitterly, and told all the hardships in his family, wiping his tears while talking.

The girl's killer move, "one crying, two troubles, three hangings" Since ancient times, no normal man can resist.

Xiao Tian pondered for a while, and fell into a complex ideological struggle, damn, taking her with her will definitely delay her cultivation, if she doesn't take her, according to the temper of this ghost spirit, she will definitely follow her secretly, rather than letting her run into danger alone, it is better to take her with her at the beginning.

Looking at the appearance of the ghost spirit spirit eating himself, Xiao Tian had a headache, and finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

"Alright, I'll take you there, but, along the way, you have to listen to me all. ”

"Yes, great, second brother, I listen to you, I listen to you, you let me go south, I don't go north, you let me go east, I will never go west. Xiao Meng jumped up to celebrate, his face was full of excitement, he couldn't suppress his joy, and held Xiao Tian's arm.

The two teenagers continued westward, marching towards the barren mountains and forests. Along the way, there was talk and laughter, one more companion, and more fun.

"You remember, don't eat what others give, because it may be poisonous, don't expose your strength, don't show your wealth, and dispose of the smell of blood as soon as you get injured, otherwise it will attract a lot of demonic beasts..."Xiao Tian told over and over again.

"Got it, second brother, you're almost ready to catch up with my uncle? Xiao Meng glanced at him and muttered.

"Dead girl, dare to talk back. Xiao Tian pinched Xiao Meng's face.

"I hate it, pinch people's faces. Xiao Tian pouted and said coquettishly.

After walking for a long time, seeing Xiao Meng's forehead full of sweat and panting, Xiao Tian also found that his legs and feet were a little numb, and said: "Rest, eat something, and continue to hurry later, take out dry cakes from the backpack, eat by yourself, and watch Xiao Meng sit on the ground with his head down, silent, swallowing saliva from time to time, and have an ominous premonition in his heart."

"You're not going to come out, you're not bringing anything, are you? I'll look at your package, what are you carrying?"

Xiao Tian opened his backpack and found that there were fifty gold coins and some medicines in it, but there was no water or food.

"Miss, I'm really convinced of you? With so many gold coins, aren't you afraid of running into a robbery?" Xiao Tian sighed helplessly, tied the package and returned it to Xiao Meng, "You remember, don't bring too much money outside, it's easy to be remembered by thieves, just leave a little enough, and also, let's go to the barren mountains and forests for trials, do you think we go on an outing? Even if you go on an outing, you have to bring water and food." ”

"I see. Xiao Meng lowered his head, like a child who had done something wrong, smiled randomly, and said coquettishly, "Isn't it you!"

"Eat mine. Xiao Tian was not angry, knocked Xiao Meng's head, and handed a piece of dry cake, "Later, let's go to the front and see if we can buy some more food." ”

The road to the barren mountains is rough and potholes, making it really difficult for ordinary people to walk. And Xiao Tian is an eighth-level martial artist, Xiao Meng is a third-level martial artist, for them, it is easy to advance a hundred kilometers in an hour, and at this time, Xiao Tian found that there were five or six people in front of him, sitting on the ground and resting.

Yellow robe, with a gun on the cuffs, judging from the clothing, it should be a member of the Yue family.

"Huh?" Xiao Tian's gaze fell on a girl.

Because on the girl's shoulder stood a spirit pet, "Firebird!"

Fire Bird, martial artist level six, fire spirit bird, extremely high intelligence, supernatural occult is "Fire Burning Plain", a wide range of attacks.

Powerful warriors usually have spirit pets, the so-called spirit pets, is to defeat the magic beasts that are lower than their own strength, sign a contract with them, and take the magic beasts for their own use, and the number of spirit pets generally cannot exceed three.

What made Xiao Tian curious was the strength of the girl, who could defeat the sixth-level demonic beast Flaming Bird, who could there be in the Yue family if she was still so young?

"Second brother, look, isn't that Yue Lingling? Xiao Meng pointed at the girl and blinked.

The five people also spotted Xiao Tian and clenched the long sword in their hands vigilantly.

Xiao Tian realized that in addition to Yue Lingling, the strength of the other four people was also good. Among them, two people are lean, with a short knife pinned to their waists, like twins, and a big tall one, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, carrying a giant big knife on his shoulder, and the last fat man, with a big belly, is nothing special.

Visually inspecting the past, these four people seemed to be Yue Lingling's guards, and they had at least the strength of a martial artist level six.

Xiao Tian lazily talked to these people, pulling Xiao Meng, intending to speed over.

"Xiao Tian, is it really you?" a delicate voice sounded.

Xiao Tian turned his head suspiciously, looked at Yue Lingling looking himself up and down with his eyes, and figured it out, he didn't seem to be familiar with her?

"Last night, it was rumored throughout the town that you, the genius of the Xiao family, had regained your strength, and it seems that it was true!" Yue Lingling stood up, stroked his hair, and slowly approached Xiao Tian.

Carefully look at the girl in front of her, wearing a white dress, slender hands and skin like jade, translucent black hair, a princess bun, willow eyebrows, apricot eyes, cherry mouth a little bit, temperament like clear water out of hibiscus, but it is a beauty embryo, but unfortunately, the age is too young, the chest is still a hill, not a mountain.

"Is there something wrong?" Xiao Tian paused.

"It's nothing? It seems that you are also going to the barren mountains and forests, and we are also going to the outer part of the barren mountains and forests for trials, how about it? Come with us, be safer." Yue Lingling blinked his eyes.
