In the dark ancient forest, the cold wind howled and snowflakes fell from the leaves.

Suddenly, three young figures flashed through the woods. They are Ye Qingcheng, Huo Jing, and Bao Jun. Ye Qingcheng carried the black-sheathed sword on his back, galloping in front, sitting on his shoulder from the fire, and cautiously watching the movements around him with his amber eyes. Bao Jun and Huo Jing followed.

With a cup of tea, they crossed the woods and came to the edge of an open wood. The snow was blowing heavily, the hidden snow on the sky was constantly flickering, and in front of it was a winding, winding stream, flowing alone like a black belt in the snow.

"Whew!" Ye Qingcheng stopped, exhaled a string of white heat, looked at the solemn black forest in front of the creek that shimmered with a little golden light, and said, "We can't run around, there are many dangers here, and if you are not careful, you may break out of the tiger's mouth and fall into the wolf's den." ”

"What now?" the little fat man Bao Jun was completely unassertive. When it comes to cultivation, he is stronger than Ye Qingcheng (without using the third stage of the ascending dragon vein) and Huo Jing, he is a martial arts cultivator, but he has hardly experienced any major events, and now he is like a little brother, with only one thought in his mind: follow Ye Qingcheng, and then find something to eat.

Ye Qingcheng searched around, and finally locked his eyes on a snow-covered two-zhang high rock by the stream, then stretched out his hand and said to Lihuo: "Xiaohuo, refine a shelter." ”

He jumped off Ye Qingcheng's shoulder in an instant, leaving a series of small footprints on the snow, and leaped in front of the huge rock. Then, its body violently burned with red flames, and then, like a red-hot iron cone, it gently melted a small hole in the rock and drilled into it.

Then, under the gaze of Ye Qingcheng and the others, the heat on the rock soared rapidly, and the snow covering it quickly melted, and it gradually turned dark red. Although they didn't know what they had done in the rock, the rock was like a huge rice ball, and red lava kept flowing out of the small hole.

"Leave the fire control flames and burn the inside of the rock?" Huo Jing asked Ye Qingcheng.

"Hmm. Ye Qingcheng nodded.

After half a burnt incense, a pool of black, flowing white smoke of lava solidified on the edge of the huge rock. The rock had been hollowed out from the fire, and Ye Qingcheng and the three of them used it as a closed stone house and hid in it.

Inside the rock, there was still a pleasant temperature, curled up in the middle of the fire, and a small flame rose from the little head, providing light for Ye Qingcheng and them.

Ye Qingcheng, Huo Jing, and Bao Jun sat around it, and they could finally breathe a sigh of relief, and fatigue came with it.

"We knew almost nothing about the Deep Sea Lotus, but we were sent over directly. Ye Qingcheng said: "If we don't know about this place, we will hardly be able to move an inch." ”

"Those old bastards!" Huo Jing scolded angrily, "You actually asked us for the demonic cultivation of Zen Ziqing?"

Judging from the strength of Zen Ziqing, which is comparable to that of the Martial King, he has a certain degree of certainty of surviving here, but other apprentices here are like falling into a fire pit, if they don't know about this place, they may face danger at any time.

"It's no use complaining now. Ye Qingcheng said: "There is only one piece of the beast taming crest, and it is impossible for them to set the wilderness trial too simply. ”

"But, it's too difficult!" the little fat man still had palpitations, and his heart was beating when he remembered the previous Green Goblin massacre.

Ye Qingcheng smiled bitterly and said, "I'll sleep for a while, and you guys should rest too." ”

As he spoke, Ye Qingcheng relied on the warm rock, took out the one in his arms, and bit his finger through. A drop of blood immediately fell onto the blank page, and then, as if the blood was alive, magically sketched a bloody handprint on the blank page. Under the gaze of Huo Jing and Bao Jun, he pressed his palm against the bloody handprint. His eyelids drooped and he fell asleep.

"Who is Brother Cheng?" Bao Jun said in surprise: "Also, how can it be from the fire?"

"He's an enigma. Huo Jing looked at Ye Qingcheng, who was already asleep, smiled faintly, and said: "Lihuo is a very powerful spirit beast (generally speaking, only those who exceed the second order can use spiritual power, but only those who use spiritual power skillfully can be called spirit beasts), Brother Ye's book hides a dream channel, he can use it to enter the dreamland and receive his master's teachings in his dreams." ”

"It's amazing!" exclaimed the little fat man.

"Huh. Huo Jing smiled: "As for the details, I don't know." However, one thing is for sure, he is a trustworthy brother. ”

"Hmm. The little fat man nodded, looked at the sleeping Ye Qingcheng, then took out a piece of dried meat wrapped in cloth from his arms, and stretched out his hand to hand it to Lihuo, Lihuo shook his head, it had no appetite. He handed the jerky to Huo Jing again.

"Didn't want to eat. Huo Jing said, "Did you bring wine?"

"Nope. Bao Jun said, took out a cloth bag from his arms, and said, "But I have fairy grass." ”

"Hey, you're so young, you have this thing?" Huo Jing handed over the cloth bag from the little fat man's hand in surprise, then took out a small note, pinched a little fairy grass crumbs, wrapped it in the note, and finally licked it with his tongue to roll a piece of paper.

"Away from the fire, I'll borrow a fire. As he spoke, Huo Jing stretched out the paper roll to Lihuo's head, and the small flame flame like a candle flame immediately lit the paper roll.

After a while, Huo Jing took a deep breath of cigarette, exhaled a string of smoke, and relaxed all over......

In the dream: On a vast desert, the Gumu clan is sitting on the top of a sand dune, overlooking the vast desert comfortably. Ye Qingcheng sat on a white cloud that he had imagined and flew over lightly.

"Old man, something happened. Ye Qingcheng flew down from the white clouds and stood beside the Gu Mu clan.

"What's the matter?" the Gumu clan still looked at the vast desert with a misty gaze.

"The old guys (the heads) of the Luofeng Imperial Beast Hall sent us all to the Deep Sea Lotus in the Dead Sea. Ye Qingcheng sat down beside the Gu Mu clan.

"Oh?" the old man couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, revealing a thin smile, and said, "The last assessment will start so soon?"

"I don't know what kind of madness they smoked, so they canceled the first four assessments and went directly to the last wilderness trial. Ye Qingcheng asked anxiously, "Are you familiar with there?"

"Familiar, every piece of land on this continent, I am very familiar with it. "More than 100 years ago, I was looking for sake brewing materials there. However, even if you have a fire, it is a very dangerous testing ground for you. Especially when there are a lot of thunder and lightning there, and you are especially favored by thunder and lightning. ”

"It's not the thunderstorm season yet, so tell me about the situation there. Ye Qingcheng said.
