In the vast forest sea, there are towering ancient trees everywhere you look, with lush branches and leaves, almost no light. The soil on the ground is soft and slightly wet, and the branches and leaves of the trees fall to the ground over the years and slowly decay, so that the land of the whole forest is very nutritious. The woods are filled with a refreshing smell.

The tall trees shade the sky, and it is difficult for the sunlight to shine in, and the beams of sunlight that pass through the dense forest attract countless light-loving insects to fly around, adding a bit of tranquility to this place.

Ling Xiao carried all the weight they had carried into the mountain this time, and then tied two large sandbags to his legs, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his expression was tired, but he gritted his teeth and kept walking.

Ye Weini behind her was so tired that she didn't even have the heart to curse Ling Xiao's pervert, and there was only one thought in her heart at the moment: Why did she follow him up the mountain in a daze?

At this moment, Ye Weini had already given up the idea of stealing the ground-level sword skills from Ling Xiao's body, it was not that she hadn't moved this thought, it was really Ling Xiao's vigilance was too strong, and she had already woken up before she could get close to him, and then opened her eyes and looked at Ye Weini lightly, and looked at Ye Weini in the bottom of her heart before closing her eyes and ignoring her. The disdain and warning in the eyes can almost make people angry.

Many things in this world are very wonderful, many things are difficult to distinguish between right and wrong, and it is difficult to find the reason, and Ye Weini does not understand why she followed him up the mountain to suffer.

However, the benefit that has brought her in the past few days is that Ye Weini's recovery speed has doubled, and now the injuries on her body have almost no hindrance to her!

It can be seen that Ling Xiao is not doing useless work, he... Probably exercising her physique, Ye Weini thought to herself, but, even then, it was a bit too much, did he forget that there was still a woman like himself following him?

It wasn't until the sun set, the light in the forest was gone, and it was about to fall into darkness, that Ling Xiao put his huge backpack on the ground, and the two of them picked up some dry branches and lit them, and sat around the fire, the flickering flames jumped up and down happily, reflecting the two young faces.

"Ling Xiao, can you tell me, what exactly are you looking for?" Ye Weini was bored and added branches to the fire, and she was very curious about Ling Xiao in her heart, what prompted a teenager like him, who was supposed to study in school, to come to such a dangerous place to take risks.

Ye Weini knew very well that the other party was not the same kind of person as herself, looking at those hands, with fine skin and tender flesh, if she hadn't seen the other party kill with a cold expression, Ye Weini even thought that Ling Xiao couldn't use a sword, and she didn't even have a cocoon!

Ye Weini looked down at the calluses on her palms, this is so unfair!

"I said, are you going to turn around and run away right away. Ling Xiao made a rare joke, and then turned a long-eared rabbit roasted on the bonfire, exuding a rich aroma of meat, which caused both of them to swallow their saliva. If you have a lot of physical exertion, you will naturally get hungry quickly.

The two of them have been walking in this dense forest for three days, and they are only half a day's journey from the highest main peak tomorrow, so even if Ye Weini wants to go back, they have to consider whether a person can go out.

"I don't think so. Ye Weini, who was in the firelight, said with a chuckle. After a few days of exercise, her physical strength has also improved a lot, and she looks healthier.

"I'm looking for the Vatia Holy Fruit, have you heard of it?" Just like Ye Weini observing Ling Xiao, Ling Xiao has been observing Ye Weini. Ling Xiao didn't hate this little female thief who always had her own ideas, but thought she was a very interesting person, because people's real surnames are difficult to change, Ye Weini is obviously a kind girl.

"Vatia Holy Fruit?" Ye Weini shook her head: "Very famous?

Although the name sounded good, she really hadn't heard of it, and for so many years, she had been engaged in the profession of a thief, and she was just a thief, not to that level. If it was her adoptive father who heard what Ling Xiao said, he would definitely immediately let her steal the Vatia Holy Fruit desperately.

Ye Weini felt that Ling Xiao was a very amazing person, because the two of them had been in the mountain for several days, but they hadn't met a single demonic beast!

All the encounters were ordinary beasts, which were basically treated as food by the two of them, and fresh meat was the best thing to maintain physical strength.

Ye Weini had never participated in an adventure group before, and her background determined that her cultivation to become a third-order sword master was already a very remarkable achievement, which even her adoptive father had always thought so.

And her sword skills ...... It's just a human-level lower level, and it's the lowest level of sword skills.

This is also the reason why Ye Weini cares so much about the local-level mid-level sword technique, in addition to the value of the ground-level mid-level sword skill itself, it is also something that can make herself stronger!

If it weren't for this guy, I'm afraid I would already be cultivating that sword technique, right? Although she thought so, Ye Weini couldn't hate this young man. went up the mountain with Ling Xiao, in addition to having a little hope for his sword skills, he also had a trace of reluctance to go back to face his adoptive father.

Especially if the other party knows that he has stolen a local-level sword skill and lost it, the consequences will be even more serious.

Ye Weini should be regarded as an orphan, because she doesn't know whether she has parents or not, according to her adoptive father, she didn't, he kindly took her in, gave her food, taught her to read, taught her etiquette, taught her how to pretend to be pitiful and how to pretend to be a noble lady, and ...... Teach her, how to steal.

Yes, the last one is the real purpose of Ye Weini's adoptive father, a stunning beauty with all kinds of charms, a woman who can be fascinated by every gesture, who would have thought that such a woman would be a thief?

It wasn't until Ye Weini became sensible that she realized the deep disdain in her eyes when she said the word thief from others, that she realized that this career she had always regarded as a promising career was actually spurned by everyone.

The intentions of her adoptive father, Ye Weini also fully understood it at this time. It's a pity that at this time, Ye Weini is completely under the control of her adoptive father, because her adoptive father has adopted a lot of "orphans", and many smaller children are brought up by Ye Weini, and if she runs away, the children she brought will die - this is what her adoptive father said personally when Ye Weini had the intention of leaving.

At the same time, Ye Weini also understood how the middle-aged man who had always appeared in front of her as a loving father was a human-faced beast with a bad conscience, so Ye Weini had always thought that if one day she could obtain a high-level sword technique, she would definitely study and practice hard to rescue those children and let them get out of the sea of suffering and live a normal life.

I watched as some of those children were trained to be thieves like themselves, some were trained to be killers, some were trained to be intelligence collectors, and some girls were even trained to be girls...... Ye Weini felt her heart tingle like a pinprick in the needle.

But she never thought of killing that adoptive father, first, she couldn't do it, after all, she had raised her for many years, and second, it was the powerful aura of that man that made her tremble.

She didn't even dare to have such thoughts!

Whether her adoptive father is a great sword master or a mad sword master, Ye Weini doesn't know, but the pressure brought to her by the mad mercenary group she played that day, Rock Schenk, is not as much as one-tenth of her adoptive father's!

......

"I guess it's not as delicious as rabbit meat!" Ling Xiao shook his head with a smile, moved his sour body, and took the roasted long-eared rabbit off the bonfire and handed it to Ye Weini.

Ye Weini served Ling Dashao helplessly, using her black dagger that had seen a lot of blood, frowning, and cutting the meat of the long-eared rabbit one by one, and dividing it.

Then he watched Ling Xiao eat meat without the image of a nobleman.

The campfire was blazing and crackling, and the woods were quiet and you could hear your own heartbeat.

Ye Weini suddenly felt a warm and happy feeling.
