The showers first stopped at midnight, and the punctual people woke up in the early hours of the morning.

The moist air was mixed with the smell of rotten branches and leaves and the smell of earth, it was not fresh, but it felt very good, this good smell had already penetrated into Xiao Cong's poorly sealed sheepskin tent, although he had been sniffing in his sleep, but when he woke up, there was still a sense of freshness about it, as if he had just smelled it, yes, it had just "smelled".

Xiao Cong got out of the tent, took a deep breath hard, and stretched his waist at the same time, the mist rose in the forest, and the hazy beauty was like a fantasy, and the rest of the people also came out of the tent one after another, everyone looked at each other and smiled, although no one knew if they could see the sun this morning.

Everyone was silent, as if enjoying the tranquility, everything around them seemed to come to life, and they communicated silently and carefully in the mist, only the raindrops on the leaves seemed more high-profile, occasionally falling with a "snapping" sound.

At this point they were a group of eavesdroppers.

The dead branches and leaves on the ground became softer, because the rain had accumulated too much and seeped too deeply, so it felt a little muddy to step on, and the star cloud shook his body like a naughty child, his body swayed back and forth when his center of gravity shifted, but it never fell, and he seemed to enjoy the fun.

Xiao Cong took a deep breath again, then slowly exhaled it, and said softly:

"There's no place to sit cross-legged, so let's stand and practice this morning. ”

After speaking, his hands were sealed, and he slowly closed his eyes.

The rest of the people all looked at Xiao Cong suspiciously, maybe until now, their consciousness was still thinking that the purple eyes were cultivated through the sun, Ouyang Xun was the first to wake up, scratching his forehead and whispering to others:

"The cultivation of the purple eyes relies on the purple qi coming from the east at the moment when the yin and yang are entangled, and the time coincides with the moment when the sun rises, and the sunlight can also make the purple qi manifest, but whether the sun appears or not, the yin and yang entanglement must be separated after all, and it will not hinder our cultivation. ”

Younu and Hongxiang shook their heads, and they closed their eyes lightly with the more direct starstream cloud.

The scene in the forest is still the same, everyone suddenly opened their eyes, the method taught by Xiao Cong ultimately depends on a kind of induction of the state of yin and yang, even if it is a ghost girl, they have been cultivating purple eyes with Xiao Cong for a while, they are already very familiar with this feeling, and they open their eyes as soon as this feeling appears in their hearts, as if they were born with a conditioned reflex.

From this moment on, the sky became brighter and brighter, and although it was blocked by mist, it still looked gray, but the process of the sun eroding away the haze was not visible after all, and people always seemed to have to wait until things were completely clear to understand - oh, so it is, just like this gradually clear earth, people will not notice the presence of the sun until the fog has completely evaporated.

Xiao Cong briefly talked about the plan of the past few days to the four of them, and then everyone began to busy their own affairs, the masters of the Star Realm still had to eat, drink and Lazar, and Hongxiang was in charge of everyone's breakfast, because there was no firewood to pick up after the rain, Xiao Cong used spirit stones to make a fire for him, and Yin Nuo and the brothers of the Hades Wu clan took advantage of this short time to explore the situation around, in order to prepare for Xiao Cong to capture the experiment.

Xiao Cong looked at the forest in the distance, and his mind was unconsciously immersed in his future plans, but he had just started, but there was a fierce sound of fighting in his ears, and it sounded as if Yin Nuo and they were fighting with some masters who used weapons.

"There are other Terran monks around here, it shouldn't be, but if it's a beast spirit who can use weapons, it seems unlikely, what kind of moth has you encountered again!"

Xiao Cong was still wondering, Ouyang Xun and the others had already taken out their weapons and rushed forward to help, for the sake of insurance, Xiao Cong did not use the Zhuxian Sword, but continued to use the remnants of the "Donkey Kong Technique" to turn his two arms into purple gold, although he was a little slower in time, but because he had the cultivation of a higher realm, he was still able to ride the dust.

Just when Xiao Cong and they rushed to the battlefield, Yin Nuo had been forced to use the word "bitter" in the three knives of Atuodao, and from a long distance, Xiao Cong and they could still see the huge and snowy sword slashing and disappearing, which showed that the enemy on the opposite side was quite strong.

And when Xiao Cong entered the edge of the battlefield, Zainong and Huo Hao, who were in the middle of the cultivation of the Star Picking Realm, happened to be hit hard and flew upside down, Xiao Cong opened his arms to stabilize their upside-down bodies, looked up, and couldn't help but be surprised,

"Stop!"

There were more than 20 people on the opposite side, wearing all silver-gray battle armor, and the masks under the helmet looked the same, hearing Xiao Cong's fierce reprimand, they really stopped, they were stunned for a moment, and at the same time knelt on one knee, bowed to Xiao Cong, and respectfully worshipped:

"House slave to meet the patriarch!"

When Xiao Cong heard this, his eyes turned a little red, his breathing became heavy, and he couldn't believe the scene in front of him.

Ouyang Xun and Xingliuyun were dumbfounded, the ghost's eyes opened wide, and the slender jade hand covered the small mouth, and for a long time, he said incredulously:

"This ...... Is this the legendary ...... The twenty-seventh general of the Xiao family?"

Nebula was finally able to swallow his spit and fixedly:

"I saw them when I was in the Holy City, and it feels like it's true, but they should have accompanied the Xiao family......

Ouyang Xun exhaled a long breath, and then Xingliuyun's words said:

"Here, there should be something we don't know, at least, Uncle Xiao may have known that Xiao Cong would go to the Great Wilderness, so the twenty-seventh of the Xiao family will be arranged to wait for him here in advance. ”

Nebula frowned,

"Xiao Cong has already returned to the Xiao family, if these twenty-seven people hadn't died at that time, he should have known about it a long time ago, but you see he ...... now."

"What if the so-called twenty-seven members of the Xiao family will have more than twenty-seven people, and Xiao Cong just ignores this?"

Hearing Ouyang Xun's click, Xingliuyun suddenly realized, nodded thoughtfully, and said:

"Yes, it's a possibility. ”

Not far ahead, Xiao Cong took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, took a few steps forward, and said in a deep voice:

"Get up. ”

"Yes, Patriarch. ”

The twenty-seven armorers stood up in unison, but through the holes in their masks, they still couldn't see any emotion, let alone emotion, in those bare eyes.

After a short thought just now, Xiao Cong almost knew the truth of this matter, but he still wanted to hear the party tell him the real situation.

"Why are you here?"

The armorer standing in the middle replied:

"Patriarch Hui, it was your father who sent us here in advance four years ago with Ji Tianshu, and he said that you would definitely come here, and asked us to wait for you here. ”

Xiao Cong's eyes couldn't help but feel a little moist, because of his return, the Demon Venerable escaped from the suppression of the Xiao family, and the heavens punished the Xiao family, as the head of the clan, Xiao Tianyu was scolding the whole world to get a glimmer of life for him, but the disaster was caused by him, and the most damned thing was him, and Xiao Tianyu not only left him, but also left him the latest generation of Xiao Twenty-seven generals of the Xiao family, this is a great affection...... It's been a long time since he's felt so genuinely fatherly like he does today.

Faintly feeling that his nose was a little sour, Xiao Cong snorted his nose and asked casually:

"Have you heard about what happened in the Xiao family?"

The leader of the armor shook his head,

"The house slave has never heard of it, and I hope the patriarch will tell me. ”

Xiao Cong said calmly:

"The Xiao family is no longer there, and it was destroyed under the ninety-nine heavenly tribulations, which was caused by me. ”

Hearing this, not to mention how the twenty-seventh general of the Xiao family reacted, Ouyang Xun and the others, who were waiting not far away, were stunned one by one.

Xingliuyun pushed Ouyang Xun beside him,

"Satoshi said it was caused by him!"

Ouyang Xun: "How the hell do I know!"

Without thinking, the chief armor replied,

"The house slave is only responsible for protecting the safety of the patriarch, and other things have nothing to do with us. ”

Even when he heard this, Xiao Cong didn't say much, but asked coldly:

"If I ask you to take off this armor and show your true faces, would you be willing?"

The leader of the armor fell to one knee again and replied in a sonorous voice:

"House slaves obey their masters!"

The other armorers also knelt on the ground and repeated in the same tone:

"House slaves obey their masters!"

Looking at the starstream cloud next to it, he was puzzled:

"Why did Xiao Cong order them to take off their armor, I heard that this set of armor was exchanged by the ancestors of the Xiao family for a formation city, wearing it, the increase in combat effectiveness is not a little bit of a star!"

Ouyang Xun glanced at Xingliuyun and said in a low voice:

"If you don't understand it, don't say it directly, Xiao Cong naturally has a reason for doing this. ”

"But I just can't read it, can't I ask?" said Xingliuyun like a ruffian.

Ouyang Xun rolled his eyes and sighed with hatred,

"God wants to destroy the Xiao family, Uncle Xiao has left a parent-son Xiao Cong in the face of the world's disapproval, if others know that there are still the twenty-seven generals of the Xiao family who survived, then what has Uncle Xiao become in the eyes of the world!

Nebula nodded,

"Oh, that's true. ”

The twenty-seven generals of the Xiao family on the other side had already put down the weapons in their hands and began to unbuckle and take off their armor, Xiao Cong suddenly said:

"Let's put it on first, you don't need to take it off for the time being, and it's not too late to take it off when you come back from the wilderness. ”

"Yes, Patriarch. ”

Twenty-seven people stopped their movements almost at the same time, and their answers were in unison.

Xiao Cong turned his head and saw the stunned people who were looking at him, their eyes dodged a little for some reason, and he said softly,

"It's nothing, let's go back. ”

So he took the lead and walked to the camp.

Only then did the twenty-seven armor soldiers get up one after another and follow behind Xiao Cong, the rest of Ouyang Xun and the others glanced at each other, and Xingliuyun asked Yin Nuodao:

"How about their twenty-seven cultivations?"

Yin Nuo pursed his lips and replied fixedly:

"Very strong!"

"I asked you how your cultivation was, and you replied to me that it was very strong?" Xingliuyun asked with an eyebrow.

Yin Nuo's face did not change,

"That Xuan Armor can isolate the aura, so it can't detect the true cultivation, but I feel from the hand, at least above the River Crossing Realm. ”

Ouyang Xun let out a sneer,

As far as I know, the cultivation of the twenty-seven generals of the Xiao family is at least in the Tongtian Realm!"

Xingliuyun teased with a big grin:

"Then it must be your news that is wrong, those twenty-seven people have a cold temperament and kill people without blinking, if there is really a cultivation of the Heavenly Realm, Yin Nuo and the three of them would have been lying there a long time ago. ”

Ouyang Xun was not convinced,

"This doesn't mean anything, it may be that they have already sensed Xiao Cong's breath, so they are merciful. ”

Finally, the phantom who couldn't bear it anymore suddenly opened her mouth at this time, and said angrily:

"What does this have to do with the two of you, I'm really full, Xiao Cong has gone away, and you can't go back!"

Hongxiang added fuel to the fire, grinning,

"That's it, the dog is nosy with the mouse, sister, let's go. ”

The girl shook her face, turned around and left with Hongxiang.

Yin Nuo smiled, nodded at Xingliuyun and Ouyang Xun, turned around and walked a few steps to pick up the injured Zainong and Huo Hao, and then said to the remaining two in a somewhat ridiculous tone:

"Two young masters, who is willing to help me?"

Starstream Cloud didn't even think about it, and shouted,

"I'm coming!"

Two steps to Yin Nuo's side and picked up Huo Hao.

Ouyang Xun was just startled by Xingliuyun's voice, and then pouted:

"This time I really have a good eye. ”

After speaking, he walked back side by side with the four of them.

The four of them walked back to the tent, and saw that Hongxiang had prepared dry food and porridge for them on the square table, Xiao Cong was sitting not far away, and when he saw Zainong and Yin Nuo who were walking back with them, their faces changed slightly, and then they said with concern:

"How's it going, is the injury serious?"

Zainong shook his head,

"Fourth Young Master Xiao rest assured, don't worry, it's just a temporary inconvenience, and you can recover after a while. ”

Xiao Cong pursed his lips, a little apologetic in his eyes, turned his left hand and took out two pills from Jiang Caijun's mustard, and reached out to hand them to Zainong and Huo Hao,

"Take it, this will help you recover completely, leaving no dark wounds. ”

Zainong laughed a few times,

"Fourth Young Master Xiao, there's no need for this, what's wrong with our brothers, they also came from the fight of life and death, it's not so pretentious. ”

"If you take it, take it. ”

Xiao Cong's hand pushed forward again, and Zainong and Huo Hao picked up the pill from Xiao Cong's palm and took it, and then, Xiao Cong turned his head and asked Yin Nuo again:

"Yin Nuo, you're not hurt, don't hold on like before. ”

Yin Nuo laughed a few times,

"Fourth Young Master Xiao's gang of slaves is really powerful, but this time we are really not injured, Fourth Young Master Xie Xiao remembers. ”

Hongxiang laughed a few times,

"Look at what scared him, as if he had given him a big face. ”

Everyone finished breakfast unhurriedly and began to prepare for their own things, and somehow, the atmosphere seemed to have become strange because of the addition of the twenty-seven generals of the Xiao family, Xiao Cong seemed to be a little absent-minded in everything, and he was the leader, so everyone was a little out of rhythm when they started to do things.

Xingliuyun is always a self-cooked person who can't be blown up, and through the silver-gray cold mask, he dares to be close to the leader of the twenty-seven generals of the Xiao family, as if he is blind to the pair of eyes that are colder than the mask, he flicked the latter's shoulder pad, and said like a philistine peddler:

"Hey, buddy, what do you call it?"

The armor priest turned his head and glanced at Xingliuyun, and said coldly:

"No name. ”

Xingliuyun's enthusiasm is still the same,

"It doesn't matter if you don't have a name, the name is originally a title, I'll call you Xiao Da in the future, what do you think?"

"You!" the armor soldier's eyes showed a fierce light, and from those eyes alone, he could see an urge to draw a sword, "How can you tarnish the name of the lord at will, although you are a friend of the patriarch, I must give you three points, but I still hope that you can respect yourself, at the very least, you can't offend the Xiao family casually!"

Xingliuyun was not scared at all, he was just very puzzled,

"You are the slave of the Xiao family, you have no name, and you are their leader, what is wrong with me calling you Xiao Da, this is not an offense. ”

"Xingliuyun!" Ouyang Xun whispered to the side.

Xingliuyun waved his hand impatiently, and showed his ruffian nature recklessly,

"What is it called, in front of their patriarch, what else can he do to me, Xiao Cong is my brother, he will try to move me!"

At this time, Xiao Cong's deep voice came clearly,

"Boss Xing's proposal is good, in the future, you will choose names according to the ranking, and call Xiao Da to Xiao Twenty-seven. ”

"Patriarch, this ......"

"You don't have to think that using Xiao Zuo as your family slave is insulting the sacredness of the Xiao family, the Xiao family in the past is no longer there, and the current Xiao family, I have the final say, you are one of the very few people who are willing to follow me sincerely, let you take Xiao Zuo because I treat you as my own. ”

Xiao Cong's words made Xiao Twenty-Seven unable to push it again, but this was a great honor for them, they couldn't accept it for a while, and the armor soldier led by him was as emotional and trembling as everyone else, and finally knelt down and bowed to Xiao Cong and said:

"Patriarch Xie gave the surname, I waited for ......"

"Get up, you're already surnamed Xiao, don't kneel around casually in the future, trouble. Xiao Cong's voice was not only a little cold, but also a little lazy.

Xiao Twenty-Seven got up one after another, and now Xingliuyun was even more embarrassed, he knocked the armor on Xiao's chest hard, and said with a smile:

"Hey, Brother Xiao, I call you that now, it shouldn't be taboo. ”

Xiao Da didn't show any action, but replied blankly:

"Don't commit it. ”

"Then let me ask you something," Xingliuyun's face returned to normal, "You've been here for so long, you must already know a lot about the situation around here." ”

"I don't know very well, ask what you want to ask directly, don't beat around the bush. ”

Xingliuyun coughed a few times to hide his embarrassment, and then asked:

"Are there any more powerful races around here, where are the weaker creatures generally gathered?"

"If you want to go to a place where there are living beings, go straight east for a thousand miles, there are many weak creatures, and there are no strong tribes. ”

Xingliuyun glanced at Ouyang Xun and muttered in a low voice:

"It seems that Yin Nuo and they are going to return in vain this time. ”

Then he glanced at Xiao Cong,

"That's not right, Xiao Cong, your spiritual sense is so high, it's impossible not to sense the situation here, and let them waste their efforts, this is a bit unauthentic, what, do you have other plans?"

Xiao Cong rolled his eyes,

"I know the situation within a thousand miles around here, yes, I have a strong sense of spiritual sense, and I can explore this attachment, but that is the effect that can be achieved at the limit, and I am sick when I exert my spiritual sense to the limit all the time!"

Xingliuyun smiled,

"You're so smart, I thought you had something else in mind. ”

"Go and get them back, there's nothing to be gained anyway. ”

Xiao Cong waved his hand, and Xingliuyun and Ouyang searched for someone.

Xiao Da asked:

"When does the patriarch plan to enter the Great Wilderness?"

Xiao Cong laughed at himself,

"The matter of the forbidden forest has not been solved yet, what kind of wilderness to enter. ”

"Before coming here, your father asked me to tell you that among the magic circles treasured by the Xiao family, there is a magic circle called 'Fangjie Armor', which you will definitely be able to use here, and in addition, before entering the forbidden forest, you must first bury the stone carvings of the teleportation array inherited by the ancestors of the Xiao family outside, otherwise, you can only stay in the Great Wilderness and will not be able to come back. ”

Xiao Cong was naturally convinced of what Xiao Tianyu said, but he still didn't understand the Tao here, but he didn't ask Xiao Da in detail, and he probably couldn't get a satisfactory answer when he asked.

The mind was immersed in the mustard, and after some searching, a golden and neat scroll appeared on Xiao Cong's right hand, which was made of extraordinary material, but the silk spit out by the golden silkworm was the main material, and several kinds of heavenly and earthly treasures were woven with it, and it was used to record things and preserve them carefully, which could ensure that they would not change within 10,000 years.

Xiao Cong slowly untied the red rope, flipped the scroll between his hands little by little, looked at the four big characters written in the upper left corner, and whispered:

"The armor of the Fang Realm, the Fang Realm, which realm do you refer to?"
