Xia Yuan cautiously moved forward, found a cave and observed for a while, and waited until Tianshuimen and the True Mountain Sect exchanged three shifts of people before getting up and hiding in the distance.

At this time, the sky was even darker, and it was already the second watch in the middle of the night.

Tianshuimen and the True Mountain Sect were very careful, changing shifts every other hour, so that no fish could sneak into the mountains and forests. It seems that Tianshuimen and the True Mountain Sect have reached a critical moment, otherwise, such a manpower-consuming guard would not last long.

The thoughts in Xia Yuan's mind were running rapidly, hoping to burst out with a spark of wisdom.

Xia Yuan thought about it for a long time, but he didn't come up with any good way. When he was irritable, Xia Yuan's eyes seemed to have found something, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and it turned out to be an iron horn beast that appeared in front of Xia Yuan's eyes.

The Iron Horn Beast is a kind of beast unique to the Yuantu Continent, it is the size of a sheep on the earth, and it is called the Iron Horn Beast because its head is particularly hard, comparable to iron stone. It is not surprising that the Iron Horn appears in the mountains and forests, but it generally haunts the depths of the mountains and forests, and it will not easily move except when encountering a great enemy. Xia Yuan saw that although this ironhorn beast appeared on the periphery of the mountains and forests, its demeanor was leisurely, and there were no external injuries, not like it had encountered a great enemy.

The meat of the iron horn is tender and is a rare delicacy. If the Iron Horn Beast passed through the place guarded by the disciples of the Tianshui Gate and the True Mountain Sect, those disciples should not let go of such a delicacy.

Could it be that there is another road that leads to the depths of the mountain forest?" Xia Yuan thought in surprise in his heart.

The so-called heart is better than action, Xia Yuan tried his best to keep his voice low, carefully drove the iron horn beast, stopped it from running to the periphery, and prompted the iron horn to run to the depths of the mountain forest.

The Iron Horn is not very bold, and the reason why it can live in the depths of the mountains and forests is entirely due to its hard head. Once the Iron Horn realizes that it is defeated, it will run like a frightened child to the house in search of security.

After the iron horn suffered a loss at Xia Yuan's hands, it screamed in surprise and ran towards a certain place. Fortunately, the Iron Horn still had animal instincts, and instead of running towards the mountain pass where the disciples of the Tianshui Gate and the True Mountain Sect were stationed, they ran towards a dense forest.

Xia Yuan was startled when he heard the cry of the Iron Horn Beast, for fear that the call of the Iron Horn Beast would attract the disciples of the Tianshui Gate and the True Mountain Sect. Fortunately, the disciples of Tianshuimen and the True Mountain Sect have strict discipline, although they heard the sound, but after discovering that it was the cry of the iron horn, none of them dared to leave their posts without permission, and they all honestly stationed in the same place.

Seeing this, Xia Yuan felt comforted in his heart. However, the performance of the disciples of Tianshuimen and the True Mountain Sect made Xia Yuan's heart sink even more. The Tianshuimen and Zhenshan factions are only second-rate forces, not to mention the subtlety of their martial arts and the number of masters, they can be seen from their strict discipline alone. They are only emerging forces developed by the first-class Dongfang family and the second-rate top force Dong family, and they do not have much background, and they are much worse than normal second-rate forces, so they can only be called quasi-second-rate forces. However, it was the tip of the iceberg of the strength displayed by this quasi-second-rate force that made Xia Yuan feel terrifying.

Xia Yuan couldn't help but secretly wonder in his heart whether he wanted to join a certain big force. Or, in the future, make a difference yourself.

Xia Yuan has always been an out-and-out lone thinker, and what he is not good at is making strangers. If you want to start from scratch, you have to make friends with heroes and heroes everywhere, and Xia Yuan won't be able to pass it. Not to mention, other bigger difficulties.

Xia Yuan was thinking about this while driving away the Iron Horn. I was a little distracted, and I almost tripped over a half-exposed stone.

Xia Yuan hurriedly stabilized the next plate, so he didn't make a joke. He shook his head violently, and couldn't help but laugh to himself, what is this! I didn't even learn to climb, so I wanted to run. I'm really daydreaming again! Why have I been thinking about it lately, is it puberty? But it is impossible for my heart to grow into adolescence twice!

Xia Yuan faintly felt that this was the temptation of society. On earth, it is the temptation of glamour. In this world, it is the temptation of martial arts. Different things, same temptations.

Among them, there are successes, failures, and the pride of being at the top of the mountain. There are also corpses that are unburied, exposed to the desolation of the wilderness.

Xia Yuan still remembers seeing a poem on Earth called "Jianghu Xing". He didn't know who wrote it, but he felt that this poem was very in line with the environment of the Yuantu Continent.

The world is out of my generation,

As soon as the years of the rivers and lakes are urged,

The emperor is talking and laughing,

It's better than getting drunk in life.

Lifting the sword and waving the tail rain,

The white bones are like mountain birds flying,

The world is like a tide, and people are like water,

I only sighed that a few people in the rivers and lakes returned.

The Iron Horn didn't give Xia Yuan much time to grieve the spring and autumn, and he almost disappeared all of a sudden. The reason why the Iron Horn can live freely in the depths of the mountains and forests is because of its speed beyond most beasts, in addition to its iron head. If Xia Yuan doesn't catch up in a hurry, with his light skills in cultivating Qi Realm, I'm afraid that Xia Yuan will really have to jump by then.

Xia Yuan chased after the figure of the Iron Horn, and he tried his best to perform a light effort, but finally did not chase the Iron Horn away. To Xia Yuan's great joy, the Iron Horn Beast really ran towards another hidden mountain road. As the Iron Horn ran in front of him, Xia Yuan also followed from a hidden narrow path to the location leading to the depths of the mountain forest.

After reaching the depths of the mountain forest, Xia Yuan naturally wouldn't be chasing the Iron Horn, and the Iron Horn would run away for a while. Xia Yuan looked around, trying to match the map he had made in his mind to determine where he was now.

Xia Yuan thought carefully for a while, only to realize that the location he was in now was on the nameless barren mountain where Tie Linglong had once haunted. It's just that it's dark, and Xia Yuan doesn't dare to be completely sure where he is now.

Xia Yuan shook his head in annoyance, and decided to go directly to the place where Tie Linglong had appeared first, maybe Tie Linglong really had a fate with him, and was waiting for him there!

Xia Yuan was joking with himself alone. He doesn't have much hope of getting Tie Linglong now, it's just that he finally came in and didn't go to see the place where Tie Linglong once appeared, which is really unreasonable, and it can be regarded as a long insight. By the way, remind yourself that natural treasures are not so easy to obtain, especially for people like Xia Yuan who are not very prepared. They can only trust God to throw the heavenly treasures directly in front of them.

Xia Yuan reminded himself to keep this lesson firmly in mind, and on the other hand, his feet were walking towards the hole where Tie Linglong had once haunted.
