In Ye Qingcheng's eyes, there was a hint of pity, and he said, "That's its owner." ”

Ben Lei was like a huge body, walking over slowly, hesitating and his heart was filled with grief, it didn't pay attention to Ye Qingcheng and the others. After getting closer, Ye Qingcheng stood by the bridge, staring at the old corpse that was curled by the elephant's trunk. This is an old man, estimated to be a third-order beast trainer, he is already in tatters, covered in blood, his abdomen is open, all his internal organs are gone, half of his head is missing, and his brain is devoured.

"Last night, they were ambushed by a pack of clouded leopards. After the grieving giant elephant left, Ye Qingcheng said: "His alliance beast should be to send his body home." ”

"Can you see this?" Liu Beishui said in disbelief: "I can see the time of death, but I can't see what killed him." ”

"I'm an animal tamer. Ye Qingcheng stepped forward and said, "I can't see this, and I dare to break into the forest without returning?"

This scene did not frighten them, and they resolutely walked forward.

"If we are surrounded by a group of clouded leopards, is there a way to escape?" asked Liu Beishui.

"Yes. Ye Qingcheng nodded and said, "Leave you as bait, and I will be able to escape." ”

"Haha, good way!" Liu Beishui said: "When the third child asks about me, you say that you have thrown it to feed the leopard, and he will definitely not kill you." ”

After a few words of conversation and laughter, their solemn mood was softened.

"Actually, the clouded leopard is not a threat to you. Ye Qingcheng said: "They are cunning by nature, and once they find out that you are skillful in the use of spiritual power, they will decisively give up attacking. ”

"In the face of wild beasts, the best way is to deterre?" Liu Beishui asked, "What if the strength is much stronger than ours?"

"Run. Ye Qingcheng said decisively: "You can't escape and look for their weaknesses, and it's the most stupid to fight brainlessly." ”

"What if you can't find a weak point?" Liu Beishui then asked.

"Then wait for death. Ye Qingcheng said with a smile.

"Then you still brought me here in a hurry?" Liu Beishui said.

"You're going to come with you. ”

"It's impossible to count on you to protect me......"

After entering the Forest of No Return, the atmosphere became visibly gloomy and oppressive, and compared to the sunshine outside, it was as if they were entering an eerie tomb.

There are some thousand-year-old trees all around, each of which has a few people hugging each other, like the shadow of the leaves, the canopy is huge, the sunlight that can shine down is very little, and the roots of many trees are covered with thick moss.

The cool wind blew quietly through the trees, and the feet were unusually slippery with rotting leaves and moss. In the dim light, Ye Qingcheng took out a map, looked at it carefully, stretched out his hand to the east, and said, "Go straight, if you follow the rules, you should be able to meet an abandoned Shipo Temple in the evening." ”

They didn't choose to fly with the spirits, which were fast, but too conspicuous and easy targets for the beasts hidden in the forest.

Walking is slow, but relatively safe. The fierce beasts that lived at the edge of the forest were generally not of high rank, and even if they found Ye Qingcheng and Liu Beishui, they would not dare to rush over.

Along the way, Ye Qingcheng deliberately released his dragon power, and the pair of greedy eyes around him appeared from time to time, but none of them dared to rush over, and they all retreated.

The first day of the journey to the edge of the forest was unusually smooth for them. In the evening, they walked 70 miles, but they never saw the abandoned temple.

At this time, the light in the forest has dimmed, and although it is sunset outside, the night in the forest has come early.

In the unsuccessful search for the temple, they settled in a relatively dry place.

Ye Qingcheng lit a bonfire and put a few pieces of dried meat on the bonfire. At that moment, there was a sudden sound of startled birds flying overhead. He was suddenly startled, and felt the left scale vine hidden in his soul, and became restless.

After a while, the left scale vine subsided.

"It seems to have a ghost. Ye Qingcheng said.

Liu Beishui looked around cautiously, then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The number of people who died here is innumerable, and it is not surprising that one or two yin spirits appear. ”

Ye Qingcheng nodded, the left scale vine was extremely sensitive to yin spirits, although it was called the holy vine, it regarded yin spirits as food.

"Go get some water. Ye Qingcheng raised his hand and pointed to the east, and said, "Five miles away, there should be a small stream." ”

"Did you hear that?" Liu Beishui said.

"Maintaining a sensitive six senses is the most basic thing for an animal tamer. Ye Qingcheng smiled: "Pay attention to safety." ”

"It's just to take the jar of water. Liu Beishui took the empty jar and carried the spear wrapped in black cloth and walked east.

After he left, Ye Qingcheng first stared at the bonfire for a while, and then took the fire out of the bamboo basket. It still hasn't woken up, and although the wound on its forehead has healed, it has left a visible scar, which is also the first scar on its way to growth.

Time passed silently, the dried meat exuded an alluring aroma on the bonfire, and the surroundings were solemn and cold.

Suddenly, he heard a noise in the bushes behind him, and he immediately put down the fire, took the Xuanxue Sword placed beside him, and shouted, "Who?!"

A wisp of enchanting fragrance wafted faintly, and a shadow that haunted him, wearing a snow-white light coat, like a snow-white lotus flower, stood behind him. The beautiful eyes, full of longing, the rosy lips moved slightly, revealing a charming smile, and the beautiful mark of the flame on her forehead, every little detail of her made him miss it.

Miyagawa looked at him affectionately.

The Xuanxue Sword fell, and Ye Qingcheng stood up in surprise and disbelief, and said, "Xue'er?"

............

On the other side, Liu Beishui carried a spear and an empty jar, walked to a clear, cold stream, and was just about to lean over to get water, when he heard the sound of suona and gongs and drums in the distance.

In such a reckless and gloomy ghost place, it is extremely strange to have such a wedding banquet gong and drum sound.

He couldn't help but straighten up, staring cautiously at the forest in front of him, a faint red light emitted behind the thick ancient trees.

After a moment's hesitation, he straightened up, unable to suppress his curiosity, and flew past the stream with great agility and swiftness.

Dozens of feet away, there is an open land, on which sits an ancient temple with cornices. There are several jubilant red lanterns hanging in front of the temple, and there are three figures in the hall, and when they see their faces clearly, Liu Beishui's pupils suddenly contracted.

Then, he quickly flew over and stood directly in the doorway. It was a festive scene, and a bride in a red robe and hijab was sitting in the hall, quietly waiting for the groom. The black blind man sat on one side, wearing a brocade robe, intoxicated with suona, while Yuxian sat on the other side, beating the small drum with excitement on his face, and Hua Lao was holding the small drum in his arms and beating it happily.

There was an intoxicating fragrance in the air, Liu Beishui shook his drowsy head, and said, "I've done this dream again." ”

This dream of welcoming relatives, after leaving the Ancient Cloud City, appeared in his dream many times, and every time he woke up, he was stunned.

"Not true. Liu Beishui shook his head, took a step back, and said, "But!"

However, just as he was about to flee, the bride, who was sitting upright, lifted her hijab and revealed a charming, beautiful, heartbreaking face. At this time, she was a bride, but her eyes were full of grievances.

"Laugh. He stopped abruptly and stared at the girl in front of him stupidly, his heart aching violently.

Xiaoxiao, one of the Eight Guards of the Shaoguo, died in the Ancient Cloud City, died in his arms, the first woman to leave a permanent scar in his heart.

"Smack!" "Bang!" The water altar slipped from Liu Beishui's arms and shattered on the ground, he dropped the cold star cloud spear wrapped in black cloth in his hand, walked over, and muttered to himself: "If it's a dream, let me finish marrying this ......"
