Chapter Twenty-Five: The Quiet Forest
The corona falls east of the barren desert on the eastern shore of the Reiki Sea into the mountains.
A round of crescent moon hung alternately in the sky, and the moonlight was bright and clean, falling on every corner of the Reiki Continent.
A group of four took advantage of the night to walk towards the secluded forest.
Luo Han walked in the front, wearing a white robe, which looked even more white and flawless in the moonlight.
Xiaobai was lazily lying on his shoulder, a pair of big smart eyes hidden under the fluff, looking around.
Luo Bing walked beside him, his dark green suit was even deeper and more dignified in the night, and the black cloak was casually tied around his shoulders.
Ruan Da and Yue Feishuang followed closely behind, their aura restrained, and their breaths were already in luck to meet the unknown challenges after entering the forest.
Among the four, Luo Han is the main one, after all, this trip to the secluded forest is for him to fulfill the agreement between Luo Zhantian and Long Lao.
Luo Han didn't walk fast, just because he knew that night was the time when the spirit beasts in the forest were the most restless.
With the cultivation of the four people, the low-level spirit beasts on the periphery would not cause any trouble, but the middle-level spirit beasts in the depths of the forest were not so easy to deal with, and even the more powerful high-level spirit beasts were not an existence they could deal with at all.
Therefore, it is enough to reach the junction between the outer and deep forests before late at night, and then set off early the next morning to continue the journey into the depths.
Only by acting in this way can there be a chance to avoid mid-level spirit beasts, as for whether he can safely reach the extreme west, Luo Han is not completely sure in his heart, just because this time is not like three years ago, there are terrifying vines to drive tens of thousands of spirit beasts to the extreme west.
And the other three knew that they could only adapt to the situation at that time. But in the hearts of the three of them, there is a common voice, and Luo Han must not be allowed to miss the slightest. If he can't reach the extreme west and see Long Lao, there will be no point in this trip.
The four of them walked slowly into the forest like this, and when they crossed the entrance, Luo Han stopped and looked at the place where Xiaobai was found, and Xiaobai was also looking at this place in a daze, as if he was thinking.
"The eldest son, the second son, the spirit beasts are extremely restless at night, and they have gone out to forage, find mates, and compete for territory. Although the low-level spirit beasts on the periphery have a low spiritual intelligence, and they alone will not pose any threat to us, we should still act carefully, if we accidentally stab the hornet's nest and cause a group of spirit beasts to attack, once the number of low-level spirit beasts is huge, it will also cause us a lot of trouble. ”
Yue Feishuang reminded him, after all, he was the captain of the hunting team, and if he knew about this secluded forest and the spirit beasts in it, he would have to be.
"Brother Yue, in this forest, let's act according to your opinion! after all, if you want to understand the secluded forest and deal with these spirit beasts, you still have the most experience. ”
Luo Bing had already intended this, so he said it at this time.
"This ......"
Yue Feishuang hesitated slightly.
After all, he is only a subordinate of King Luo, and his status cannot be compared with the two princes of Luo, and this time he was sent by King Luo to help protect Luo Han, how dare he rashly do this order.
"My eldest brother is right, Brother Yue, you don't have to be too humble, it's up to you to give orders! ”
Seeing his hesitation, Luo Han hurriedly spoke out to persuade him to dispel the idea of refusal.
If Yue Feishuang meandered and refused and Luo Bing pressed him with his identity, it would inevitably make him feel a little guilty. Although it will not affect the overall situation, it will also plant a seed of disharmony.
After all, Yue Feishuang is the peak powerhouse of the Yuan Infant Realm, his cultivation is much stronger than his two brothers, and the strength of the Aura Continent is respected, and Yue Feishuang's respect is really due to the two fathers.
It was only because Luo Zhantian was the only late-stage powerhouse in the Refining God Realm on the Spiritual Qi Continent, the target of all the cultivators of the Ice God Clan, and an existence worthy of his Yue Feishuang's reverence.
Luo Han knows this very well.
He immediately continued, "Brother Yue, Brother Ruan, you don't have to be polite, you are a few years older than me and my eldest brother, just call us by our names, Luo Bing, Luo Han, how good this is, it sounds much more pleasant to the ear than the second son of the eldest son." ”
As he spoke, he winked at Luo Bing.
Luo Bing immediately understood.
"Yes, don't be too polite, although we are of the same generation, but the cultivation of the two is much higher than me and Luo Han, this trip, we need to thank the two eldest brothers for more attention. ”
"Rest assured, two sons, we will protect you well. ”
Ruan Da, who has always been taciturn, suddenly responded.
"Alright then, just do what I tell for the time being, and with my experience, it shouldn't be a problem to go thousands of miles. ”
Yue Feishuang pondered for a moment and then no longer hesitated, and accepted his words.
"Then it's such a happy decision, and besides, you have to call it by name!"
Luo Han's face, which always had an indifferent smile, was even more smiling at this time, and he actually joked with Ruan Da and Yue Feishuang.
"Haha! Okay! Luo Bing, Luo Han!" the two also laughed loudly.
The vague identity of master and servant became invisible between these few jokes.
Under Yue Feishuang's guidance, the four of them avoided a large number of spirit beast groups, avoided the battle of spirit beasts, and successfully arrived at the junction between the outer and deep forests of the forest.
Along the way, although they occasionally encountered a few lone spirit beasts, they were easily solved by Ruan Dayue and Feishuang, and the brothers didn't even have a chance to make a move.
This junction is a rather wonderful place in the secluded forest, low-level spirit beasts dare not break through this place into the depths of the forest, and middle-level spirit beasts cannot rashly cross this place to reach the periphery of the forest.
But here, a half-collapsed wooden house leaned on a huge tree, trembling and towering, surrounded by several stone piers, and truncated wood lying between the stone piers, as if it were a wooden table.
This place is the only place in the forest where sunlight can penetrate in, and at this time, the ground is scattered with a faint light and shadow, which is the bright moonlight.
"We'll rest here tonight and then we'll leave for the depths of the forest tomorrow morning. ”
As he spoke, Yue Feishuang had already taken the lead in finding a peripheral stone pier and sat cross-legged.
"I'll keep vigil tonight, although spirit beasts don't dare to break into this place, it's better to be careful. ”
"One hour for one person, I'll take over in an hour!"
After that, Ruan Da also found a stone pier, sat down at will, and said nothing.
Luo Han and Luo Bing glanced at each other, looked at each other, and no longer gave in to the two, but also looked for a stone pier by themselves, sat cross-legged, and adjusted their luck.
......
It's late at night.
In this secluded forest, where not even a ray of moonlight could penetrate it, it was so dark that even the crescent moon felt lonely.
From time to time, the roars of spirit beasts echoed in the depths of the forest, and from time to time, the sound of galloping shook the earth and rumbled.
It should have been a silent night, a quiet forest, and a quiet forest, but everything was so unpeaceful.
For a long time, Luo Han and Luo Bing sounded even breathing, showing that they had entered a deep cultivation state.
Yue Feishuang was napping lightly on the side, and he was going to be replaced by him to keep vigil next hour.
Ruan Da leaned on the trunk of the tree, his eyes shining, staring at the depths of the dark forest, an unpretentious wine jug in his hand, looking up to the sky from time to time, taking a long sip.
At this time, Xiao Bai, who had been sleeping on Luo Han's shoulder all day, secretly raised his head, swept away the blank look in his eyes on weekdays, looked around, and then lifted his short limbs, turned into a white light, and disappeared into the depths of the forest.
Xiao Bai's move, with Luo Han's powerful consciousness, he didn't even feel it at all, let alone Luo Bing, who had entered a state of deep cultivation, and Yue Feishuang, who was napping, and even this scene happened at the moment when Ruan Da raised his head to drink, just avoiding his sight.
The night passed quietly among the restlessness of the beasts, and the crescent moon slowly retreated in the firmament, and the corona had not yet risen from the western end of the sea of spiritual energy.
The forest is still dark.
At this time, a white light swept by, Xiao Bai quietly returned to Luo Han's shoulder, shook his body slightly, the slightly messy fluff became smooth again, but the cute little face was full of tiredness, the two furry front paws rubbed his eyes, and then lay on his shoulders and fell asleep.
The sea of spiritual energy, at the end of the west, a piece of fish belly white is reflected on the surface of the sea, and there are already a few rays of light belonging to the day, seeping into this junction place.
The four of them woke up leisurely, and after a night of rest and pranayama, they felt very refreshed.
"Let's go!Keep going deep!" Yue Feishuang said.
He continued to explain, "During the day, most of the spirit beasts rest in the nest, while the mid-level spirit beasts usually have their own territory, unless there are humans or other spirit beasts breaking in, otherwise they will not wander outside. Therefore, we only need to avoid their territory and walk between the crevices of the border, and there will be many fewer troubles and dangers. As you go, you must follow me closely, and you must not make the slightest mistake in your steps. ”
"If you are unfortunate enough to encounter a mid-level spirit beast, what should you do?"
But it was Luo Bing who asked.
"Fight if you can fight, kill on the spot, don't expand the battle circle!"
Yue Feishuang paused slightly, and was about to continue, but was interrupted by Luo Han, "If you can't beat it, just run, right! Brother Yue, am I right?"
I saw a pair of lazy eyes looking at him with a smile, so I couldn't help nodding to him.
"Yes, if you can't beat it, you can run, but you have to pay attention to the method of running. Middle-level spirit beasts are usually quite intelligent, and they are even more sensitive to the breath of humans, and once they find out, they will definitely chase after us and never die. Therefore, we have to lure it to the territory of another spirit beast of similar strength, and then hide the breath, so that we can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. ”
"What a good idea!" Rohan praised.
Yue Feishuang smiled indifferently, "Then let's go!"
With that, he wanted to step out.
"Wait a minute!"
Luo Han suddenly spoke to stop him, just because he found that Xiaobai, who was sleeping on his shoulder, seemed to have a trace of abnormality.
