Chapter 17: Huo Jing
Three miles away, there was a row of bare trees, which looked like they were dancing in the cold moonlight. This row of trees guards an unknown village.
At this time, except for the cold wind that whimpered, the village was dead silent.
Before Ye Qingcheng entered the village, he smelled a faint smell of corpses. However, when Ye Qingcheng rode into the village, he found that there was nothing here. The doors and windows of every house were open, but there was no trace of the villagers, and there were no domestic animals such as cattle and sheep. Under the moonlight and starlight, the whole village looks very weird, like a ghost village.
He saw that there were less than 100 courtyards in the village, and there should be four or five hundred people, but at this time there was no one and it was chilling.
"Forget it, no matter what, I'm still on the run. Ye Qingcheng muttered to himself.
Then, he rode his short-eared horse all the way to the south of the village. As a result, at the south end of the village, he watched a gruesome scene.
There is a large dry puddle in the south of the village, about 20 zhang in diameter, and in the pit is a white pile of bones, among which the bones of men, women and children are all there. He immediately stopped the short-eared horse and stood on the edge of the pit, looking at the skeletons in the pit and the black pupal shells nearly five feet long.
"Who!?" Suddenly, a loud angry shout came, and Ye Qingcheng suddenly took off the black sheath sword on his back, and turned his head to look at an old treetop diagonally to the west.
In the dim night, a white figure nearly seven feet tall stood faintly on the tree.
Before Ye Qingcheng could see the man's face clearly, the man jumped down from the tree.
Seeing this scene, Ye Qingcheng immediately pulled out his big sword, jumped up directly from the horse, and shouted: "Falling leaves!"
I saw that his seemingly weak figure, the moment he pulled out his sword, like a fierce tiger, with a terrifying and fierce momentum, he instantly spun three times in the air, and slashed out three mysterious sword shadows with the momentum of thunder, hitting the white mysterious figure one after another.
In the face of this ferocious attack, the mysterious figure did not panic, and he immediately pulled out a dark green flute from his waist and blocked it in front of him.
"Bang!Bang!"
In the flash of lightning, three sword shadows slashed fiercely at the man's flute, bursting out with strings of sparkling sparks. The mysterious figure didn't care about this sword technique at first, but when they were fighting, he was shocked by this sword style and took a few steps back, and was surprised.
"What a fierce swordsman!" exclaimed the mysterious man.
After slashing with three swords, Ye Qingcheng immediately fell to the ground and stepped into a circle of swirling dust and smoke.
As a result, due to the excessive force, the part of his shoulder that had been bitten by the black-tailed red spirit dog immediately cracked, and two streaks of blood gushed out of his shoulder like a spring.
"Who are you?!" Ye Qingcheng said angrily.
"Are you alright?" the man stared at Ye Qingcheng's shoulder in surprise.
Ye Qingcheng glanced at his shoulder quickly and said, "I'm very good!"
"This kind of bloody swordsmanship is really eye-opening. The mystery man laughed dumbly.
Seeing that the mysterious man had no intention of fighting, Ye Qingcheng breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the mysterious man carefully.
He was wearing a white fox robe, sixteen or seventeen years old, his appearance was not outstanding, but he had a rich and noble appearance, like a child of a family. The dark green flute he held in his hand was his weapon, and judging from the previous encounters, he had at least the strength of a martial artist.
"In Xia Huo Jing, the seventh son of the Huo family in Luofeng City, he passed by this place late at night, and when he saw a heresy, he checked it at will. The mysterious man said with a flute and a fist.
There are a total of seven large cities in the small country north of the town, and Luofeng City is one of them. However, Ye Qingcheng didn't know much about those families in Luofeng City, and he hadn't heard of them.
"In the lower leaf Qingcheng. Ye Qingcheng took the hilt of the sword and arched his hand.
Huo Jing took out a small jade bottle from his arms, raised his hand and threw it to Ye Qingcheng, and said, "This is my Huo family's unique trauma medicine, hurry up and stop the bleeding for yourself." ”
Ye Qingcheng raised his hand to take the small jade bottle, after Yu Feng and Xiao Jing before, he no longer had that kind of presumptuous trust in others. At this time, Lihuo drilled a small head out of his arms, stretched out his head and sniffed the jade bottle in his hand, and then nodded. Only then did he dare to pull out his robe, expose his shoulders, and pour the medicinal powder from the jade bottle on the wound.
As the powder and blood coagulated on the wound, a refreshing coolness emanated from his hot shoulder, and the pain quickly disappeared.
"Thank you. Ye Qingcheng returned the medicine bottle to Huo Jing and took back the big sword.
"Brother Ye is traveling late at night, where is this going?" Huo Jing asked with a smile. Ye Qingcheng was still a little wary of him, but he was very easy-going.
Ye Qingcheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Hundred Stone Country." ”
Hearing this, Huo Jing's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "Could it be that Brother Fei is going to participate in the beast tamer assessment?"
The animal trainer assessment, also known as the beast worship war, wants to obtain the beast trainer badge and become a beast trainer recognized by the world, this is the first level. Otherwise, just like Ye Qingcheng at the moment, even if he has a heavenly demon-level alliance beast like Lihuo, others will not take him seriously without a coat of arms, and exposing it rashly will only make people covet Lihuo. With a beast trainer, the beasts cannot be snatched. Because, in every country there is a palace of beasts, they must obey what Yuntian left behind, be constrained by it, and snatch other people's alliance beasts that are officially allied, no matter what their status and status will be, they will be executed. Yuntian is carried out and guarded by his ally beast, the Snow Emperor, Split Wind, and no one dares to violate it on this continent.
If Ye Qingcheng wants to completely get rid of the fate of being hunted down, if he wants to form an alliance with Lihuo and never worry about others coveting Lihuo, the first thing he has to do is to obtain a piece of the beast taming crest.
But how easy is it to get a coat of arms?
The assessment of beast worship is extremely strict, and without profound knowledge of beast taming, strong cultivation, and the guidance of a senior beast tamer, it is almost impossible to report the name.
"Brother Huo is talking about the beast worship war?" Hearing this, Ye Qingcheng's heart suddenly became excited.
"yes. Huo Jing nodded.
Thinking, Ye Qingcheng naturally wanted to participate very much, now that Lihuo was by his side, he was more eager to get the beast tamer emblem than anyone else. However, he had nothing but an ordinary book, which recorded some of the most common knowledge of taming animals. He cultivated the Ye Clan's swordsmanship to the ninth form, and he was considered a young martial artist, but his strength was still lacking.
The strength is not enough, the knowledge of animal taming is very little, and the beast taming technique is not a trick, he does have an unaligned Heavenly Demon Alliance Beast, but it is too rare to leave the fire, and it cannot be exposed without a coat of arms.
Seeing that Ye Qingcheng had a kind of eagerness and hesitation on his face, Huo Jing smiled and said, "Even if you can't do it, you can go and see it." ”
"Hmm. Ye Qingcheng nodded and thought secretly: "I can't participate, can't I watch it yet?"
Anyway, he had already decided to flee to the Hundred Stone Country, how could he miss this kind of grand event?
