Chapter 42: Danger lurks

Yu Qian patted the backpack on the man's back, and his movements seemed to be refreshing and relieved, but the worry between his eyebrows never dissipated.

Xie Qixuan turned around and gave the other party a big bear hug unexpectedly. He raised his hands upwards and directly lifted Yu Yuan's small body dozens of centimeters above the ground. He always reserved his heartiest smile for his most beloved little sister, and the man looked at the other party's red cheeks that were ashamed to be lifted like a child in front of everyone, and suddenly made a strange sound and slammed against the other party's soft cheeks in the past few days.

"Hmm~ My baby is getting cuter and cuter!" Xie Qixuan put Yu Qian down as if he couldn't get enough, stretched out his hand and patted her black hair, and said with a smile.

Yu Qian blushed and pulled his claws off, bowed his head and muttered: "Old rule, if you don't come back within three days, I will come to you." ”

Xie Qixuan showed a light smile, he gently shook his cousin's hand, his eyes were full of tenderness.

"Hmm."

With Lin Xu's college "mount", a few people can quickly shuttle between the forests while lying comfortably. Lin Xu yawned and looked at the small piece of paper in his hand, and said to the other two with a smile: "Hey, Bi Fang, this guy is quite good at drawing, I thought we would definitely get lost." ”

Xie Qixuan also smiled: "Did you use some kind of mental spell?" ”

"Don't say it, it's really possible!" Lin Xu replied.

Even at such a high speed, the destination drawn on the map of Bifang would take half a day to reach the least. By the time they got there, it was ten minutes of sunset. The environment inside the altar is very good, you can see the stars in the sky every day, and the heavenly realm is divided in two by an orange curtain at this time, the sun has not completely set here, but the moon has already hung high there. With the towering black shadows of the trees, several people were so immersed in the beautiful scenery that they forgot their true purpose.

Sunset didn't last long, and after a while the twilight darkened completely. The three of them unanimously decided to wait until dawn before acting, and after eating a little food, they found a place to sleep in the open air. There is a forest for miles, and only a stream two or three meters wide divides the whole forest in two.

"You say, how big is this altar, and why have we walked for so long without being found around the walls?" Zhou Ming measured his body with his arm on his pillow, and chatted before going to bed with a pair.

"yes, it's been so long since we entered here, and we can walk the road the size of some countries, right?" Lin Xu agreed in a daze while half asleep.

"Who is the sacredness of this sacrifice? It's said to be an altar, but I've never seen a real believer or a god. ”

"I think I'm a disciple of this god who doesn't know which god, and it doesn't matter who can make us live the rest of our lives, right? And there is a mess of light and bizarre here, and it is certain that the other party is a great immortal. ”

Xie Qixuan lay quietly in his sleeping bag without saying a word, he looked at the dark night rendered by the stars, and silently closed his eyes.

"Boom!" But there was an untimely thunder in the sky, and the small raindrops gradually turned into large raindrops that hurt on the face. This is not an uncommon thing, it is the rainy season, and it rains day and night in the cave, at most it will be drenched in rain. But just as Lin Xu was complaining and preparing to transfer his position, his voice suddenly stagnated. The boy's pupils twitched slightly, something was wrong... This rain is different!

Thunder rolled in, but the lightning that should have appeared earlier was not seen. Layers of mist have risen on the ground, and there is even a tendency to pile up and get thicker. Zhou Ming and Lin Xu quickly got up from their sleeping bags, and they didn't care about tidying up, so they quickly got into a fighting posture. Xie Qixuan also opened his eyes and got up, he carefully observed the mist close to the ground and sniffed. He frowned slightly and said, "It's not fog, it's smoke." ”

The two of them also wrinkled their noses and sniffed after hearing this, and sure enough, what filled the air was not the smell of water vapor in the rainy season, but a strong smell of incense.

This is also too strange, Lin Xu frowned, and stepped onto the tallest tree nearby in three steps and two steps. The high ground was not covered by fog for the time being, but in the dark night, only the streams could be seen shimmering in the light of the stars and the moonlight.

"Huh?" Lin Xu frowned, he seemed to find that there was a particularly bright little star spot looming in the stream, swimming with the ripples of the wind. It wasn't obviously a reflection, but something shiny that had been washed away by a stream.

Lin Xu jumped off the branch, and the visibility of the ground at this time was no more than two or three meters, and he could only barely see the ground under his feet and the general outline of the other two. "I suggest we evacuate first, although the fog can't see the route clearly, but these guys are born here after all, and they can discern the direction." He patted the trunk of the tree next to him and reported.

"Okay." Everyone no longer hesitated, and after packing up their luggage and preparing to return, Lin Xu stroked the trunk of the tree, and after a while, the net woven from the branches came to greet the three of them. They sat on the rattan beds, and the trees carried them forward so quickly, although they could not see anything at all, and the gray smoke hit their faces, and their sense of smell felt like they were about to fail.

I thought I would escape like this, but I didn't want to stop on the last stretch of the way out of the forest, holding their rattan bed.

"What's wrong?" Lin Xu patted the plant under his buttocks, and nodded as if he didn't understand, "Hey, I really still don't understand!" Sister Hongyin, translate it! ”

"Sister Hongyin? Sister Hongyin! He continued to call the name of the hollyhock demon in his head, but he still couldn't hear back. Lin Xu gritted his teeth and snorted lightly, gradually realizing the seriousness of the situation. Fortunately, although the plants could no longer move forward, they were still under his control, and he changed the rattan bed into a rattan ball that enveloped them, arching a protective shield just like when he rescued Zhou Ming.

Xie Qixuan spoke: "This forest is wrapped in formations, so they can't break through. ”

"Damn! Did that bastard lie to us?! ”

"No, she didn't lie to you, it's safe...... It wasn't that long ago still. ”

It was the voice of a man who didn't belong to any of them.

"Who?!" The vine balls showed no signs of being invaded, but the man's voice seemed close at hand, whispering to their ears.

Hongyin's voice suddenly sounded in her head, but her tone seemed to be exhausted: "Don't fight...... Run! Lin Xu didn't dare to call out for Hong Yin, but he knew that it was probably that person who forcibly blocked the small wisp of Hong Yin's soul.

"Crackle!" The thick cane ball was violently split, but fortunately it didn't hurt anyone. In the torrential rain and thick fog, the three of them could barely see the people outside. It's not that the fog has cleared a little, but that the other party's body is really huge, and both eyes are showing a cold glow, which makes it impossible not to see. The man was more than two meters tall, his hair was like seaweed dancing in the water, and his face was very fierce.

If Yin Su was here at this time, he would definitely scream out in fright, because the person who came was one of the legendary four divine beasts, the palace master of the North Palace, Xuanwu, Xuantian God.

It's just that these three people don't know this great immortal, and they all think that this is a big monster of the giant clan who came from nowhere and wants to catch people to eat. Lin Xu tied the other two people with vines, relying on the trees' understanding of the terrain here and the shadows of the trees in the dark night.

"I don't like rats running around." The long sword in Xuantian God's hand was like a fishbone, and as soon as he twisted his arm like this, the long sword became several times longer and fell heavily to the ground. Although Zhou Ming's waist was tied by Fujiman and he was moving at high speed, he still reacted almost instantly, turned his shoulders back, and blocked a little impact from the two big knives in the shape of forks. His mortal body and ordinary two knives were naturally invincible, but the complete superior person was crushed by many times the weight alone, but his purpose was not to stop this blow. He tilted the hilt of his sword and flung the greatsword out with his own high speed.

“… I was going to unscrew the spit thorns from his sword, but they were too hard to shake. Zhou Ming said with some remorse.

Xie Qixuan didn't make any extra moves, he tried to observe the Xuantian God who was standing steadily in the air, but the thick smoke shrouded his figure tightly. If it weren't for the immeasurable terrifying mana pouring out of his body, he wouldn't have been able to find his place at all. Even though Lin Xu twisted and turned around for a long time, the distance between the two sides seemed to have neither shortened nor increased, but remained in such a position. With the battle between Bi Fang and the Snake King, Xie Qixuan clearly felt that the strength of the other party was above those two, and it must be possible to teleport if he wanted to, and if he wanted to completely lose his posture, he must be able to. But what the other party said seemed to be impatient, but he didn't take any action, why?

Xie Qixuan thought so, and after thinking about it, he threw out the dagger in his hand that was glowing with yellow light. The dagger pierced through the fog in an instant, piercing straight between the man's eyebrows. Hearing only the sound of "dang chang", the dagger made a sound like an iron weapon and fell. Xie Qixuan was not too surprised, he waved his hand to his chest, and the dagger immediately flew back and held it firmly in the palm of his hand.

The Xuantian God in the air spoke again, accompanied by a few chuckles that could not be heard emotionally:

- "Hehe, it turned out to be 'Liberation'. ”
