Chapter 18: Clouded Leopard
The mountain wind blew coldly, causing the weak branches to touch and rustle. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ The dust on the ground was also swept up by the wind and floated in mid-air. On the surface of the water, there are circles of ripples, waving in all directions.
The occasional croaking of beasts made the quiet environment even more secluded. Two small tents were gradually erected in the quiet jungle under the moonlight.
"Uncle Tie, drink water!"
A little girl with a ponytail jumped up and down in front of a middle-aged man who was nearly two meters long, holding a kettle immaturely, and shouting loudly with her head up.
"Ling'er, Uncle Tie hears me!" the middle-aged man turned around and picked up the little girl with a ponytail, lifted her high, and said with a smile on his face. It's just that if you are a keen observer, you will definitely be able to see a trace of uneasiness in the hearts of middle-aged people from this smile.
"Ling'er, don't make trouble! Let Uncle Tie rest early. A cold voice came, and the little girl with a ponytail pursed her mouth when she heard it, looking very dissatisfied.
Seeing the little girl in his hand like this, the middle-aged man also smiled and said, "Like a dream, Ling'er is still young." Just let her have fun. β
"Uncle Iron. I saw a tall woman walking up to the middle-aged man, and her fair face looked even more beautiful in the moonlight. "You know, the day before yesterday...... So, the sooner you get out of here, the better. β
Hearing this tall woman say this, the smile on the middle-aged man's face slowly solidified, and a lament came out of his mouth: "It's all my fault." If it weren't for ......"
"Uncle Tie, don't say it. The tall woman interrupted the middle-aged man's words and said in a very decisive tone: "It's better to raise your spirits and face tomorrow." β
"Hmm. The middle-aged man replied and said to the little girl with a ponytail: "Ling'er, will Uncle Tie play with you again when you go back?"
Although the little girl with a ponytail was pouting, she also knew that now was not the time for her to be emotional. He was very reluctant to glance at the man, and said, "Uncle Tie, you have to talk about it." β
"When did your Uncle Tie deceive Ling'er. The middle-aged man put her little girl in a ponytail on the ground, patted her chest with one hand, and said.
The little girl known as Ling'er smiled only now and said, "Hehe, Uncle Tie, let's pull the hook." β
"Good. β
In the moonlight, two fingers, one large and one small, were pulled together, slowly rippling in the breeze.
Seeing this, the tall woman on the side slowly smiled on her iceberg-like face. At this moment, she suddenly heard the sound of footsteps on the grass.
The middle-aged man, who was squatting and smiling very well, stood up suddenly, and looked at the distance that was tightly covered by the dense grass. Apparently, he heard footsteps as well.
And Ling'er looked there curiously with the gaze of her sister and Uncle Tie.
In the nervous gaze, a pale young man slowly walked out of the grass with a girl in black in his arms.
"Ahh Seeing that there was someone in front of him, the pale young man smiled very shyly and said, "I'm sorry, I'm lost." β
After that, the boy held the girl in his arms and walked forward slowly. The boy walked slowly, and his clear eyes kept looking at the three people in front of him. As if he was afraid that the three of them would misunderstand.
"Little brother isn't an adventurer, is he?" In the young man's gaze, the middle-aged man who had been staring at him for a long time like an iron tower finally spoke slowly. Although he spoke, it was evident from his tone that he still did not dispel the doubts in his heart.
"It's not. The boy replied very dryly.
"What's the matter with the woman in your arms?!"
Before the young man could explain anything, the tall woman on the side said in an almost indifferent tone.
This young man is naturally Luo Ning. He didn't expect that when he walked out of the bone space, the area he was in was no longer the original place.
Although it is said that there is no need to be chased and killed by the third-order demon bear, it also leads to a very serious problem. That's ...... Lost.
The map in Luo Ning's arms had already been shattered under the paws of the demon bear. Now Luo Ning wants to go back, and he can only rely on others to lead him or have a map.
Seeing this young man who came out of nowhere, he was stunned, the tall woman's brows furrowed, and a more indifferent tone sounded from her mouth: "What's the matter with the woman in your arms!"
Luo Ning finally came back to his senses under this tone, glanced at the tall woman, and said with a shy smile on his face: "I said, it's my fiancΓ©e." Do you believe it?"
Seeing that the tall woman's face became extremely cold, the middle-aged man hurriedly walked up and whispered to the woman: "Rumeng, listen to me." β
After that, the middle-aged man turned his gaze to Luo Ning, although there was a smile on his face, Luo Ning still saw a trace of uneasiness in it. I only heard the middle-aged man say: "Little brother, I have provoked something here, if you follow us, I am afraid that you will put yourself in danger......"
When Luo Ning heard this, he thought for a while and said, "How far is it from the eighteen mountains here?" β
"Eighteen mountains?" Although the middle-aged man was surprised, he still replied, "It's more than two days away." β
"It's been more than two days...... Luo Ning muttered, but in his heart he kept thinking about it. The journey of more than two days is equivalent to the here and now, and it is already in the interior of the outer periphery of the Hundred Demon Ridge.
According to Luo Ning's own strength, although it can be said that he has already improved his combat consciousness in the bone space, improved his proficiency in the use of spiritual skills, and even had a baptism of spiritual power. However, the realm has always been in the early stage of the Spirit Condensation Realm, so all that can be dealt with is an ordinary first-order demon beast.
According to his own strength, even if he has a map, he may not be able to get out of the Hundred Demon Ridge. And if you follow this middle-aged man's team, although it is said that you are about to encounter danger, you should have more chances than if you walk out of the Hundred Demon Ridge alone.
Thinking of this, Luo Ning replied with a smile: "Then thank you brother." After that, Luo Ning slowly walked under a tree, slowly put down the black-clothed girl in his arms, and leaned against the tree. And he also sat silently.
After a while, the middle-aged man glanced at the tall woman and sneered: "Like a dream, Uncle Tie can't be wrong to look at people." This boy is not bad. β
"Then you give him a map and let him walk on his own. The initial strength of the Spirit Condensation Realm can't help us. And will die for this. β
"Hey......" The middle-aged man sighed and said, "You kid can't see it." I felt a murderous aura from him, although it was very faint. But it is also enough to show that this young man is by no means as simple as the initial strength of the Spirit Condensation Realm that you see. Maybe ......"
Hearing the middle-aged man say this, the tall woman finally didn't speak, but just stared at Luo Ning before turning around and leaving.
......
A day and a half was spent quietly under depression. Although Luo Ning didn't say much to this adventure team in the past day and a half. But I also know that the middle-aged man in this iron tower is a spirit in the middle of the spiritual realm, named Tito.
And the tall woman who spoke indifferently to herself from the beginning was named Yun Rumeng. The little girl with a ponytail like a doll is his sister, named Yun Ling'er.
"Big brother. Hearing this immature voice, Luo Ning knew that it was Ling'er with a ponytail calling him. He turned around, looked at Ling'er, and said, "Ling'er, what's wrong?"
To be honest, Luo Ning has this kind of affection for the three people. This Uncle Tito himself is a warm-hearted person, and the indifferent tall woman Yun Rumeng is actually a woman who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside.
"Big brother, the big sister in your arms is so beautiful. Luo Ning smiled and lowered his head to look at the girl in his arms. But the eyes widened in an instant, and it happened to be a breeze blowing at this time, and it happened to lift the face of the girl in black.
And before Luo Ning could see the face of the girl in black, the girl in black who had been in a coma for several days slowly opened her eyes under this breeze.
Suddenly, the four eyes were facing each other.
"Uh......" Luo Ning was shocked and quickly looked away. At this time, the girl in black who had just opened her eyes woke up from the confusion of an instant. Suddenly, the familiar pale side face appeared in her eyes.
And now I'm in ...... The girl in black, who had just woken up, understood her situation in a moment.
I was ...... The young man who called himself Luo Ning before entering the cave was hugged ?!!
"Let go of ......" The face of the girl in black turned red in an instant, and a trace of anger also appeared in her eyes. But now she doesn't have any spiritual power in her body, and even her strength is because of being held by the young man, and the fever dissipates a lot.
So she could only grit her teeth and whisper.
Luo Ning, who was prepared, of course heard this voice, and hurriedly turned his head to look down, and a touch of surprise flashed from his eyes. Immediately, a sneer appeared on his calm face, and he put down the black-clothed girl in his arms.
Only then did the girl in black touch the ground. But due to a few days of coma, the moment it just touched the ground. The girl in black felt that the sky was spinning for a while, and with a coquettish groan, she actually fell in the direction of Luo Ning again.
After Luo Ning helped the girl in black well, the girl in black's face turned even redder. Under the staining of the flush, the originally fair face looked even more delicate.
But this blush was suppressed by the girl in black. His face turned cold, and he just glanced at Luo Ning with complicated eyes, and sat down cross-legged.
Luo Ning scratched his head and walked to an ancient tree with a sneer. Unexpectedly, he had just passed in front of the tall Yun Rumeng, and a cold voice also sounded: "Hypocrisy." β
Obviously, this woman named Yun Rumeng had already seen the scene just now.
Luo Ning didn't bother to explain anything. Just take care of yourself and move forward. And Yun Rumeng looked at this young man so indifferently, which was a little unexpected.
At this moment, Luo Ning's footsteps suddenly stopped. A cyan compass mark faintly flashed on his forehead! At the same time, a sense of danger suddenly enveloped Luo Ning's heart.
At this time, the weather that was originally scorching in the sky, and the moment Luo Ning stopped, a gust of wind suddenly rolled up. A roar of indignation burst forth from the wind.
If a seasoned demon hunter who is familiar with all kinds of demon beasts hears this roar here at this time, he will definitely be able to say the name of this demon beast.
Second-order demon beast, dark cloud leopard!
