In the dark woods, a gray-green miasma began to spread.

Knock knock knock ~ There was a loud sound in the distance. The tremors on the ground gradually increased.

From time to time, there can be the sound of "click~boom" giant trees breaking and being crushed.

A behemoth appeared in Rong Qingbai's sight, like a hill, covering the sky and the sun.

Orion gestured, leaned his back against the ancient tree, slowly squatted down, held his breath, and the figure slowly wandered away from them, only a hundred meters away from them.

As the sound faded away, Rong Qingbai and Orion also quietly walked out from behind the towering ancient trees on the side.

With a long sigh of relief, Rong Qingbai asked curiously, "What was that just now?" Is there such a terrifying existence on the periphery of the cholera swamp?"

Now that he is facing him, the other party's sense of oppression is too strong, and he feels far more than the skeletons in South China City, and he has a feeling of palpitations, the most important thing is that he didn't seem to have it a few years ago, and he hasn't seen it.

"I don't know~ Anyway, just don't mess with it. It's also too lucky, this thing has appeared twice in the past few years, and we actually ran into it. ”

Looking at the trees gradually regaining their light, everything was like a dream, and if it weren't for the messy scene not far away, both of them would have wondered if they had just entered the illusion.

Orion took out a piece of sandalwood, which had not been used for many years, dug a pit in the earth, lit the sandalwood and placed it in it, and the mist rose and dissipated in the wind.

Rong Qingbai looked at each other with some curiosity. Orion knelt down for a while, got up and explained to himself: "This is what Orion will do when he encounters something important here, worship." ”

"Powerful, unknown, mysterious. All creatures with these words will deprive many lives, and we have escaped a catastrophe, but there are always people who cannot escape, and the appearance of such creatures must be accompanied by death. It is a sacrifice for the dead life. ”

Orion's eyes darkened as if he remembered something.

"Whether it is an immortal cultivator or a mortal, they are always eager to obtain those things that they cannot control, and this kind of thing is really like a devil, devouring sentient beings. ”

The young man who heard these words shrank his pupils, his eyes flashed, his face looked at each other solemnly, and he unconsciously muttered, "What do you know?"

"What are you talking about, why is this expression?" Orion, who retracted his thoughts, was stunned when he saw the young man's expression.

"Ah~ It's okay, I was just scared by the scene just now. Rong Qingbai came back to his senses, scratched his head, and smiled a little embarrassedly, "By the way, there is probably a lot of distance to Xinghui Lake." ”

Orion took out a delicate map, surveyed the nearby terrain, and after a long time, calculated: "Oh, it will take about an hour to walk, and we will be there." The mark here needs to be changed, forget it, and change it next time. ”

Fortunately, there are still some terrain that can be judged to have not been destroyed. This is obviously something to be thankful for. It's really lucky.

At the same time, it seemed that a button had been flipped from Laifeng Town, and a large number of monks left, heading towards the cholera swamp.

Green Smoke House

In the delicate woman's boudoir, a beautiful woman appeared behind the woman sitting in front of the dresser and playing with the best spirit stones, and handed the letter in her hand to the other party.

The woman put the magic spirit stone in her hand on the brocade cloth on the side, picked up the letter, and a drop of blood flowed out of her fingertips, which was absorbed by the envelope, and a line of words appeared in her sight.

With the disappearance of the handwriting, the letter spontaneously combusted.

Throwing away the letter casually, the woman's white hand supported her cheeks, and the other hand was a little bored and fiddled with the spirit stone: "What does my aunt think?"

"Is that thing appearing?" the beautiful woman's eyes lit up, and she was a little excited.

"yes~ But I don't seem to have much motivation to earn. The woman sighed.

"Isn't that why we're here?Yan'er, don't you forget the mission arranged by the Elders this time!"

"Oh, I know, but there are dozens of forces competing for this thing, and those old things don't give any help, how can they earn it~" The woman closed her eyes and complained.

"You~ Then you won't go this time? You will be punished if you go back. The beautiful woman still wanted to persuade the other party to try.

The woman in front of the dresser, her pretty brows furrowed, looked at Lingshi, and suddenly smiled, she thought of a good idea: "Go! Of course you go! ”

feudal official

The young man played with the token he had lost in his left hand, listening to the soldier's report, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

A dilapidated blacksmith's shop

Murong Yun stared at the polished giant sword in his hand, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his azure pupils emitted a dangerous light.

......

In the evening, a number of mysterious troops were stationed near Laifeng Town, and in the early morning of the next day, it was discovered that these troops had disappeared.

......

"Whew, it's finally here, it's not easy. In the evening, two figures sprang out of the woods, looking embarrassed, and Orion patted the dust off his body and stretched his shoulders.

The young man on the side looked at him with disdain, if this person hadn't been negligent later, they wouldn't have provoked the bloodthirsty bees, and fled all the way in embarrassment.

It's not that the strength of the bloodthirsty bee is, but the number of the other party covers the sky, and the black pressure is overwhelming, can't this run?

Throwing off the depressed mood, Rong Qingbai looked at the safe zone that Orion said - Xinghui Lake. The sunset slanted on the vast lake, sparkling, from time to time there are unknown creatures rushing out of the lake, under the curtain of the afterglow, showing their posture, splashing sparkling water, the evening breeze mixed with a trace of water vapor rushing towards the face, very comfortable.

"Not bad~" Orion also appreciates this scene very much.

Above the Xinghui Lake, there is no ancient tree to obstruct it, just like a basin, with a wide field of vision, and at night, the starlight here is dense, and the fluorescence overflows the surface of the lake.

It is rumored that there are terrifying demon beasts living at the bottom of Xinghui Lake, and they can only have a stable place if they don't like blood and qi when they swallow Xinghui and cultivate.

A makeshift shelter was simply set up between the lake and the woods, and a gust of wind blew, making the woods rattle, and the dark clouds in the distance slowly approached them.

"It's going to rain~" Around the campfire, Orion was speeding up the speed of nibbling on the barbecue, "Hurry up and eat, I'll go and strengthen the residence." ”

The young man gave the other party a strange look: "Don't you need a formation? This rain doesn't look small." ”

"Ahem, I won't~" Orion touched the smooth skull mask with some embarrassment, and the starlight refracted by the smooth skull almost blinded the boy's eyes.

"Oh, I'll set it up later. Rong Qingbai rubbed his eyes, a little strange, is this starlight a lot brighter than before?

Hearing what the boy said, Orion snatched the boy's barbecue and dragged the other party towards his residence.

"Alas, the formation is set up very quickly. You let me finish the meat!" Feeling the huge force coming from his arm, Rong Qingbai was grabbed by the other party a little weakly.

I probed it again, and looked at the shining, thick veins. He sighed, fake!

"Boom~Boom~" Dark clouds obscured the starry sky, and the rainstorm finally came.

Outside the formation, the trees were scraped and staggered, and some even broke their waists. Everything has become so small under the power of heaven.

Orion knocked on the almost condensed shield, and sighed, "Your array is a bit interesting, quite reliable." ”

The compliment stopped here, and the other party's snoring sound was heard in his ears, Rong Qingbai shook his head, the other party can sleep so soundly, probably because it is really safe here.

Listening to the sound of the rain outside, the young man's eyelids were also a little heavy, he had experienced a lot of things today, and he was also a little sleepy, and sure enough, under the sound of rain, it was easy to fall asleep.

"Woo~" The distant cry permeated the entire Xinghui Lake, the blue fluorescence on the lake surface was sheng, rushing towards the sky, opening a hole in the sky, the starlight turned into a galaxy from this hole, a mini cute little beast appeared on the surface of the lake, exuding a soft light all around, it happily shuttled under the starlight, bathed in it, and made a nice chirp with satisfaction.

"This is?" At this time, Rong Qingbai seemed to have been subjected to a sleepy technique, and his drowsy consciousness finally fell silent.

"Huh?" As the boy fell asleep, the little beast on the lake looked at the two of them, and with a swing of his little feet, two rays of starlight flew towards them.

The little beast seemed to be very satisfied, and cried out twice happily, cutting off the galaxy, and its body disappeared, and the hole in the sky was once again covered with dark clouds, as if the heavens had closed its eyes, and the calm lake was tumbling and surging again.

Everything was like a dream, the wind roared outside, the torrential rain invaded, and inside the array, the soft light shrouded, peaceful and warm.

......

A ray of sunlight shone on the young man's delicate and immature face, he wrinkled his nose, his slender eyelashes moved, and slowly opened his eyes.

"Yo, wake up, get up and eat!" Outside the formation, Orion led two fish in his hands, blocking the young man's view.

Rong Qingbai, who was still a little confused, dragged his feet, and when he walked out of the formation, the morning breeze blew, and it was a little cool, and this trace of coolness woke up the boy.

His cloudy eyes cleared, and he inhaled the scent of the earth at the tip of his nose.

"Ah~" Rong Qingbai opened his arms and stretched his waist hard, comfortable! Seeing the Orion who was lighting a fire on the side, he hurriedly ran over to help.

"Uncle Mo, why do you want to make a fire with your own hands?" The young man looked at the hunter who was drilling wood to make a fire there with some curiosity, the other party had been fighting for a quarter of an hour, and still couldn't make a fire.

"You know what! It's called not forgetting traditional craftsmanship!"

"But your dead grass and wood are wet. ”

......

"Bang" The flint struck, and the fire finally rose. The two each grilled their own fish and did not speak. Orion's face was hidden under the mask, and he couldn't see his expression, while Rong Qingbai stared at his grilled fish seriously, his expression focused.

The breakfast ended hastily in an eerie atmosphere.

After packing up, the two bowed respectfully towards Xinghui Lake. I looked at the map, determined the direction, and left.

Soon after they left, a little beast poked its little head out of the lake, looked far away in the direction where the two had left, whined, and disappeared into the lake.

......

As the two encounter a barren vacuum again

Orion said solemnly: "The next road will probably not be as easy as yesterday, you have to follow me well." I don't go there very often, and there are relatively few places on the map. ”

The moment I stepped on the vacuum belt, an indescribable viscous feeling hit me, and my movements slowed down a little.

Orion did not move on, but waited for the teenager to adapt, and if he did not fully adapt, he would not continue to move on. In many cases, it is just a little bit worse, and it may be the difference between life and death.

"Okay?" Seeing the smile on the corner of the young man's mouth, Orion asked with some uncertainty, after all, the adaptation speed was a little fast, and he was afraid that the other party would worry that he would slow down the speed and lie.

"Well, it feels good!" Rong Qingbai turned his arm, he was completely adapted, his own blood qi was circulating in his body on his own, and he also absorbed some spiritual energy, nourishing his physical body.

After a long time, the next time I forcibly absorb and use the aura, there should be no tendons and veins breaking down. Well, probably.

Suddenly it occurred to me that vague dream, the little beast in the moonlight, was it your gift?

"Let's go. ”

"Good. ”
