Chapter 57: The Thundering Forest

In the early morning, the warm sunlight shines on the lush bamboo forest. Sima Xuan got up early, and at this moment he was standing in the courtyard, feeling the comfort and pleasure brought to him by the morning. The natural energy in the space entered his meridians through the pores on his body surface, merging with his own true qi, and this cycle made Sima Xuan feel extremely comfortable, as if he was bathing in a natural bath. Just when Sima Xuan was intoxicated, a voice came into his ears, "Situ Gongzi, Professor Xing asked you to go to Vice Dean Weber's bamboo building." Sima Xuan opened his eyes, and not far in front of him stood a young man in his twenties, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, very bookish. Sima Xuan replied, "Okay, thank you, I'll go." As he spoke, he followed the young man towards the bamboo building of Vice Dean Weber.

After a short time, the two came to Weber's bamboo building, and Sima Xuan walked through the bamboo forest, and saw three people standing in the courtyard, two men and one woman. The woman Sima Xuan recognized it when she saw it for the first time, it was Dongfang Yan'er, and the two men Sima Xuan also recognized it, it was Feng Shaofeng and Feng Chen.

Dongfang Yan'er saw Sima Xuan coming, smiled and nodded at him, and Sima Xuan also smiled back. Feng Shaofeng was a little unkind on his face, but because of the wind and dust, he had to pretend not to see Sima Xuan. Of course, Sima Xuan didn't bother to take care of him. It was the wind and dust, and the hearty laughter added a touch of difference to the quiet morning, and he could only hear him say: "Brother Situ, the world is really small, and we have met in less than a day." It seems that you and I are really destined!"

Sima Xuan also smiled and said: "Haha~ What Brother Fengchen said is true, maybe you and I really have some fate." ”

Just as the two were greeting, Professor Xing walked out of the room of Vice Dean Weber, came to the front of several people, and said with a smile: "It seems that you already know each other. Since there are so many of them, I won't talk about it, this expedition to Lei Chi can be regarded as a trial, although it is my personal decision, but Vice President Wei also agrees. So I chose the four of you to go with me. After that, he looked at Sima Xuan, who looked absent-minded, and didn't seem to be displeased with his arrangements. Afterwards, Professor Xing continued: "This trial was initiated by this Situ Gongzi, and I think you have all heard of his strength, so I hope you can get along well with Situ Gongzi and complete this trial." ”

After hearing what Professor Xing said, Sima Xuan secretly said in his heart: It seems that this trip to Lei Chi will not be lonely, sending these three things to follow me is clearly a warning, Lei Chi is something from your Chongwu Academy, you better be careful as an outsider. However, why did he let Dongfang Yan'er come with him, this is something that Sima Xuan couldn't figure out, could it be that Dongfang Yan'er would also be unfavorable to himself? Sima Xuan originally wanted to use his perception to investigate the cultivation of these three people, but he thought about it again in this Chongwu Academy, so he should not act rashly first. Thinking of this, Sima Xuan walked up to Professor Xing and said, "It's really Professor Lao." ”

Professor Xing said with a smile: "What Situ Gongzi said there, it is also appropriate to do something for the deceased, so how about we leave immediately?"

The expression on Sima Xuan's face became serious, and he said calmly: "Thank you Professor Xing and Weber, let's go." ”

Professor Xing patted Sima Xuan on the shoulder, and then said to Dongfang Yan'er and the others, "Let's go!"

A group of six people came to the front of a stone mountain in Chongwu Academy, and Professor Xing walked alone to a strangely shaped stone. Sima Xuan observed carefully, only to see Professor Xing stretch out his right hand, and the majestic true qi erupted, and the true qi pushed away the strangely shaped stone along a trajectory.

"Boom!" the crack in the original stone mountain in front of everyone, a narrow valley that could accommodate one person to pass through. Professor Xing said to everyone, "Passing through here is the Thundering Forest, come on!" As he spoke, he took the lead in walking towards the crack in the stone mountain, and Sima Xuan also quickly followed, followed by the other four people one after another.

Soon, everyone passed through the crack in the stone mountain, and what appeared in front of Sima Xuan was a forest with no end in sight. Professor Xing looked at a few people who were a little surprised, and explained: "This forest is the Thundering Forest, and it should be regarded as a natural barrier on the periphery of the Thunder Pond, because after entering the forest, you can hear the sound of thunder. After that, Professor Xing looked at Sima Xuan, and then said, "Okay, now is not the time to be surprised, you will follow me when you enter the forest." Everyone nodded, Sima Xuan's face was solemn, and his superhuman perception made him clearly perceive the danger in this forest.

Sure enough, as the name suggests, as soon as everyone stepped into the forest, they heard a faint sound of thunder. Professor Xing explained, "This thundering forest is divided into a peripheral area and a central area. The outer areas are no different from ordinary forests, while the central areas are foggy all year round, and the sound of thunder is even louder than the outer ones, so be careful. Dongfang Yan'er and the four of them all nodded in agreement, Sima Xuan's expression was still solemn, although the periphery was safer than the center, but Sima Xuan still felt some powerful aura. However, because of the team led by Professor Xing, everyone quickly passed through the periphery of the Thundering Forest, and Sima Xuan also clearly knew how Professor Xing led them to avoid those powerful existences.

As they approached the center of the Thundering Forest, the fog grew thicker and thicker, but before they were about to step into the center of the forest, everyone tied each other together with a rope, which reduced the possibility of getting lost. The rumbling thunder warned Sima Xuan at all times that the thunder pool was getting closer and closer.

Just as everyone was rejoicing that they had been safe and sound along the way, the roar of a wild beast echoed through the forest. Professor Xing said in a low voice, "It's not good, it's a thunder beast, we were discovered." ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and Sima Xuan spread his perception even more, and a small beast with an almost beast-like appearance appeared within his perception range. I heard Professor Xing whisper again: "Retract their senses, they have an innate ability to sense foreign invaders in this forest. "But it was already too late, and a dozen thunder beasts had already spotted them and quickly approached them.

Professor Xing had no choice but to say again: "Be prepared for battle, and remember to kill with one blow, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

When Dongfang Yan'er heard this, the four of them all showed their weapons. Dongfang Yan'er was holding a long sword that was as crystal clear, Feng Shaofeng's paper fan was replaced with a silver folding fan, which looked like an extraordinary product, Feng Chen was also holding a sword, and the man with clear eyebrows who came with Sima Xuan was a broad knife that did not match his appearance, the blade was streamlined, and the whole body was as black as ink, and it must be a good thing. Sima Xuan looked at the four of them, but he didn't take out any weapons. Professor Xing also did not show his weapon.

"Roar......" More than a dozen beast-like roars came together, and Professor Xing took the lead, and the sword blade formed by the majestic out-of-body true qi was not weaker than the divine weapon, and several thunder beasts that rushed up were quickly killed. Seeing that the partner who rushed forward first was easily killed, the remaining thunderbeasts began to wait for an opportunity. Suddenly, several thunder beasts seemed to have discovered that Dongfang Yan'er was the only breakthrough among these people, and several thunderbolts slashed down in an instant, and at the same time, several thunder beasts quickly pounced towards Dongfang Yan'er.

Dongfang Yan'er couldn't resist the attacks from both sides for a while, so she had no choice but to raise the crystal sword in her hand and slash towards the thunder beast that pounced. Feng Shaofeng and Feng Chen, who were beside him, quickly dodged away. Sima Xuan's figure was faster than lightning, and while rushing to Dongfang Yan'er's side, he used his out-of-body true qi to swing a sword, and everywhere he went, the thunder beast that rushed up did not escape at all, and the thunder summoned by the thunder beast first also slashed on the ground, Sima Xuan held Dongfang Yan'er's willow waist with one hand, and took her to dodge the thunder that was split.

After bringing Dongfang Yan'er to safety, Sima Xuan once again used his body and rushed into the remaining thunder beasts, the sword was vertical and horizontal, and the remaining thunder beasts were also killed by Sima Xuan in an instant. After killing the Thunder Beast, Sima Xuan shouted, "Professor Xing, quickly lead the way, there is a very powerful aura and then approach here." When Professor Xing heard this, he didn't hesitate, came to Feng Shaofeng and Feng Chen's side, grabbed the two of them and ran quickly in one direction. Sima Xuan also came to Dongfang Yan'er and the man with clear eyebrows, grabbed Dongfang Yan'er's thin waist with one hand, grabbed the man's arm with the other, and showed his skills, followed closely after Professor Xing, and chased after him quickly.

Not long before Sima Xuan left, a thunder beast shaped like a colossus jumped down from the sky, and then jumped in the direction where Sima Xuan and the others disappeared
