Chapter 8: Taking Risks

Maybe Zhang Jingyi has no knowledge of the reputation of the three ghosts of Yan River, but Xu Mo, who has always been concerned about the state of the world, knows that he has faintly heard of the three of them from the mouths of the merchant travelers and hunting teams in the village, and they are the three leaders of a not weak force on the edge of Yan River.

The three ghosts of Yanhe are composed of two men and one woman, and no one knows their real names, and the rivers and lakes call them big ghosts, small ghosts and female ghosts. Yan Da, who is the leader, is said to have completed the quenching realm, and Yan Er and Yan Jiao are also both in the ninefold realm of the quenching realm, and their strength is extremely strong.

However, now there are only three main leaders, and the other members of the gang have not come, which shows that this treasure hunt is a secret operation, otherwise too many people will inevitably alarm the nearby forces, and it is difficult to say who this treasure will fall into when the time comes. And this Wu Ba seems to be the guide they invited, otherwise how could he touch here as the three ghosts of Yan He?

Judging from the prudence and ferocity of the three ghosts of Yan He before, this is by no means an ordinary thing, and this Wu Ba doesn't know whether it is really stupid or fake, and when they find the treasure, I am afraid that their lives will not be guaranteed.

It is precisely because of this extraordinary thing that Xu Mo was moved.

In this kind of world, where you have to rely on absorbing aura to improve your own strength, relying only on the so-called personal efforts, if you want to surpass others in the gradual and daily hard cultivation, even if you practice to the end of the world, you can't surpass those super masters.

Xu Mo, who has gone through many cycles of life and death, understands that the benefits of an opportunity far exceed the so-called long-term hard work, and a true master must grow up in daily penance and hard-to-find opportunities. He looked at Zhang Jingyi, who also wanted to become stronger, but did not have any chance, so he made up his mind and ran away in the direction where several figures dissipated.

"Lazy cat!lazy cat!What are you doing!?" Seeing such a situation, Zhang Jingyi felt extremely frightened, could it be that this dog still wants to grab treasures from those cultivation masters?

If it is an ordinary family, a dog is desperate to send it to death, I am afraid that the owner will go with it a long time ago.

However, Zhang's father and son are kind-hearted, even if it is a pet in the family, they are very cherished, not to mention that this dog has found a lot of elixir for the family since he was born, and they are not ungrateful. Seeing the yellow dog flying away, Zhang Jingyi hesitated, and finally gritted his teeth and chased forward.

Zhang Jingyi's idea was to catch up with the dog and forcibly take it back, although those treasures are not ordinary things, but they must also be enjoyed by life. This young man is easily satisfied, his greed is not heavy, and he quickly makes a choice between treasure and life.

The idea was good, but the boy found that he couldn't catch up with the dog at all.

With the accumulation of body refining martial arts, it is said that Zhang Jingyi's speed has long been far better than that of ordinary domestic dogs, but this "lazy cat" has a unique advantage in shuttling through the forest because of its size. What's more, this is not an ordinary domestic dog, but a strange earth dog that will cultivate with people, and it seems that in the recent period of joint cultivation, this dog's progress is also very obvious.

The Qiaoling Mountains are known to have 100,000 giant peaks, millions of cliffs, and 10,000 small peaks, but under the vast forest cover, the towering Qiaoling Mountains are also covered with a thick layer of green, like a dragon's sleep.

It's just that the loud roar of the demon beast from time to time makes people feel palpitations, and under the cover of the branches and leaves of the big tree in the sky, a dog suddenly rushes out and advances deeper into the forest. Not far behind, a 12-year-old boy pushed through the branches of a low bush and came out, his face and arms already covered with all kinds of blood, presumably scratched in the rush through the dense forest.

"Lazy cat, you can't go in anymore, this is already the sphere of influence of demon beasts, we'll die if we go in!" Zhang Jingyi shouted angrily from behind.

I don't know if this sentence played a role, the yellow dog in front stopped galloping, turned around and barked at the young man twice.

Zhang Jingyi, who was behind, suddenly felt happy in his heart, and rushed up to immediately hold this hateful dog. "You know that you can run around, can you come in the depths of this Qiaoling Mountain?" Zhang Jingyi scolded angrily.

But no matter how he pulled, the dog had no intention of going back, stubbornly pulled the boy's clothes and continued to pull in. Zhang Jingyi was a little angry, and he was about to go back with his "lazy cat" in his arms, but the moment he turned around, he suddenly found that he had already lost his way and didn't know how to go back!

When he remembered, he found that he had been running with the dog for almost half a day, and the violent roar of the demon beast could be heard in the distance.

At first, the sun was still scorching, but now when I look at the sky, the sunset has slowly set on the top of the mountains, and the last rays of sunlight have slowly dissipated in this dense deep mountain forest, and the sky soon darkened. The forest at night is always the most dangerous, and no one knows when any fierce birds and beasts will emerge, not to mention that this is still the territory of demon beasts.

Zhang Jingyi felt frightened, but the dog in his arms seemed to be fearless, broke free from his embrace, fell to the ground and bit his clothes and continued to pull him deep into the forest.

Growing up in the mountains, Zhang Jingyi's courage is much greater than that of ordinary children. By this time, he could no longer find his way back, and if he wanted to go back, he could only rely on the greedy earth dog under his feet, after all, animals were far superior to humans in terms of smell and wayfinding.

Since he had reached this point and there was no way back, Zhang Jingyi strengthened his courage and decided to follow the dog to the depths of the forest.

I thought that the "lazy cat" stopped because he was about to reach his destination, but Zhang Jingyi didn't expect that the next road was still so long, and he walked in the dangerous forest for a long time in the dark, every time he wanted to stop and rest for a while, the "lazy cat" continued to bite his pants and drag him forward.

Zhang Jingyi didn't know what kind of illness this dog was doing today, and he didn't even let him rest, not to mention that they were mortal bodies, even if they were monks, they probably couldn't stand it. However, when he saw the appearance of the "lazy cat" walking all the way, he knew that it was chasing those masters of cultivation, and the footsteps of those people must be much faster than them, if they didn't rush in the middle of the night, they might not be able to catch up at all.

Fortunately, he has learned a good amount of physical martial arts on weekdays, and Zhang Jingyi can barely support it, but because he has already crossed the range of demon beasts and goes to a deeper and more dangerous place, this person and a dog are also very cautious in their aura, and they slowly advance at night.

Before I knew it, most of the night had passed, and I could already see the whiteness of the east slightly, when the "lazy cat" finally stopped, and pricked up his ears to show a very cautious appearance.

It seemed that it was about to arrive, Zhang Jingyi's heart was also nervous, they didn't encounter danger all the way, but thanks to the keen perception of the "lazy cat", several times they heard the demon beast roaring less than a mile away from them, and this person and dog went around unharmed.

Of course, as a child of the Orion family, Zhang Jingyi still knows some ways to survive in the dense forest, if he encounters the feces of high-level demon beasts along the road, he will collect some, this smell even low-level demon beasts dare not approach, let alone those ordinary beasts.

Driven by the extremely cautious look of the "lazy cat", Zhang Jingyi was also a little nervous, and his originally heavy pace slowed down, and the cat cautiously followed the dog forward.

I have to say that the "lazy cat" is very different from ordinary domestic dogs, and this kind of keen perception ability is far from even many masters of cultivation. When he climbed to the top of a small slope with great care, there was a tiny fire in the distance, Zhang Jing looked over, there were exactly four figures, three of them were resting under the big tree, judging from the reflected firelight, the person standing was Wu Ba.

It seems that they rested for the night, and it was Wu Ba's turn to keep vigil.

With Zhang Jingyi's ability, don't say that the three ghosts of Yan He, even Wu Ba can beat him half to death in a few moves, so he doesn't dare to approach.

The "lazy cat", who had been restless before, finally settled down at this time and no longer moved forward rashly, which made Zhang Jingyi a little relieved, and now this position is about forty zhang away from the four people, which is not too close. Now that the person has been found, the man and the dog, who had been walking for most of the day and almost the whole night, also began to rest.

Originally, Zhang Jingyi wanted to keep the night when the dawn was about to break, but he was dragged by the "lazy cat" into a semi-concave shallow hole with his back against the rock, thinking that this dog could smell a few people so far away, and he was not afraid of losing it, Zhang Jingyi swaggered and fell asleep directly next to the cave wall.

......

The long journey also made Xu Mo a little tired, but after all, he was the body of a dog, and the task of crossing mountains and mountains was much easier than that of humans.

He lay on the ground for a while, and the sky was beginning to lighten, and before it was fully light, there were still plenty of places to hide in the forest. Looking at the sleeping Zhang Jingyi, Xu Mo planned to slowly move to the position of the four people to explore the truth and see.

Even if he is a dog now, with the extreme caution and ferocity of the previous people, Xu Mo still does not dare to act rashly, and he is cautious along the way.

When they climbed to the side of a few people about ten zhang away, Xu Mo heard human voices, it seemed that they had woken up, and they would not continue to approach.

"Boss, when are we going to do it?" Yan Er, who was dressed in green clothes, had a cold aura on his body.

"Don't worry, that third-order fierce beast just experienced a life-and-death battle a few days ago, although it was seriously injured, but it must still be on guard in the past few days, and it will not easily relax its vigilance. We'll see later, and we'll do it when it's completely relaxed. Yan Da, who had a bearded face, said.

"Hehe, if we can successfully get the Imperial Spirit Grass this time, our brothers and sisters will definitely increase their strength, and we will no longer have to shrink by the Yan River. The youngest Yan Jiao said.

"Imperial Spirit Grass!" Even Xu Mo's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and he suddenly cheered up.
