One by one, he took things out of the mustard and placed them beside him, babbling in his mouth,

"The juniors of the Xiao family can't make it, and the elders don't use it, alas, ancestors, what did you say you did with this thing, but it was cheaper for me today, so I still have to thank you, hehe......"

After straightening the things one by one, he straightened up, pouted and continued to mutter:

"Alas, the difficulty of this magic circle is almost catching up with the dream of the Blue Bridge, and I don't know if I can succeed in this little way, time waits for no one......"

He took another deep breath, then exhaled quickly, muttering to himself:

"Alas, it's a mule or a horse, it's time to pull it out and practice. ”

He took out the illusion at random, put on the ring, and the four-foot-square stone room appeared in front of him again, and the chessboard was close to him, he grabbed a chess piece, lowered his head, and began to concentrate on playing with himself.

However, after a moment of effort, there were no less than a dozen staggered black and white pieces on the chessboard, Xiao Cong wrote down the chess score with his heart, took off the ring, put the illusion into the mustard, took out the pen and paper, and spent nearly a quarter of an hour to draw a strange pattern.

After doing all this, he put away the pen and paper, his eyes swept over the things in front of him one by one, and finally stopped on the white-eared rabbit skin he had peeled off not long ago, looking at the rabbit skin, and the corners of his mouth slowly hooked a little naughty smile.

However, he did not rush to arrange the painting skin of the magic circle, but first poked his head out of the hidden shadow hiding array like a thief, and after making sure that there were no other creatures around, he withdrew the hidden shadow hiding array, and instead used Zhu Xian's ghostwriting to copy the strange pattern on the ground around the tree hole, and carefully placed the object and the rabbit skin that had just been taken out of the mustard around the tree hole according to the instructions of the pattern, and the whole process took nearly three hours!

At the next day, the painting of the magic circle was completed, and Xiao Cong did not stop, and he climbed directly to the top of the old tree without even returning to the tree hole.

After finishing the morning class at the top of the tree, he returned to the circle to transfer the breath of the white-eared rabbit from last night to himself, and after finishing it, he returned to the tree hole, devoured the rabbit meat left from last night, and carved a mask with wood that was ugly out of the sky, and then got up again and went deeper into the forest.

The Hidden Shadow Hidden Array and the painted skin were not destroyed, because he planned to come back here tonight, first, this is already the depths of the forest on the periphery of the Sunset Mountains, there are quite a lot of ancient beasts of the same level, you can stay here for a few days to practice your skills, and secondly, the layout of this magic circle is really time-consuming and laborious, he can't change a place every day, and spend three more hours a day to arrange the magic circle, it will inevitably seem a little too cautious and a little too much to lose, after all, time is the best to cherish.

After going around in the forest for nearly an hour, he didn't see the shadow of an ancient beast, this forest was full of moss, and the air was filled with a strange smell that could not be described in words, making people smell and feel dizzy, he felt that he couldn't stay any longer, his throat was slightly itchy, and his mouth was always full of spittle, which felt that he couldn't find it and couldn't bear it, he had to quickly find a clean water source, so that the whole body could be removed

Rinse carefully inside and out.

Having had the first two experiences, he was already quite confident in finding a water source, and the forest was so humid that he concluded that the water source was nearby, and that it was not a thousand steps away.

He wiped his neck, spat on his spit, frowned and walked on, the air getting more and more humid, the ground under his feet getting more and more muddy, the indescribable smell getting weaker and weaker, he knew that he was getting closer and closer to the water source.

He stepped up a few steps and continued to walk forward, and finally heard the clear sound of running water, he tiptoed forward, but could not see a little shining, so far away, judging by the sound of the ring, the flow of the river not far away must be not small.

After walking a hundred or so steps forward, the eyes suddenly opened up, a big river rushed away, and there were small waves between the rapid turbulence, and the river water in the middle was slamming with fine white foam at this time, and only the near shore was quite gentle.

Xiao Cong couldn't wait to run to the shore, knelt down and picked up a handful of clear water and slapped it on his face, the sudden coolness made him tremble, and he couldn't help moaning,

"Ah~"

Then he threw his head back as hard as a demon, his mouth wide open, his hands rising and falling, and he kept sprinkling the fluttering water on his body.

When he had had enough fun and had enough, he slowly moved his head down and returned to his normal posture, he stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, exhaled a long breath of turbidity, and finally took out a few water bladders from Mi Kei, filled them with water and put them back in.

Just as he got up and turned his head to leave, a chill rose sharply behind him, and he jumped forward, rolled a few times on the ground, and then fell into a low bush, faintly hearing a huge thing behind him fall heavily on the ground, and the turf burst into the bushes a lot.

Xiao Cong, who fell into the bushes, did not hesitate, and after his body stabilized, he jumped in the air again, and after landing, he hurriedly sacrificed the spirit retreat, and fled as if flying into the distance.

The behemoth in the rear knocked the bushes apart at the next moment when Xiao Cong jumped out of the bushes, and chased Xiao Cong in front of him at a speed that did not match its huge body, Xiao Cong glanced back as he ran, it didn't matter, he was going to be scared when he saw it, only to see a big lizard with a flat head and fat head behind him was rushing quickly not far behind him, and a crimson rune was faintly visible in front of his forehead, he turned his head, his little face was pale and frightened, and he lost his voice:

"Thief of the Immortals! Oh my God......"

Then he used all his strength to cast the spirit retreat, and threw the big guy who was chasing after him a long way at once.

Now thinking about the strange appearance of this forest, and then looking at the four-legged loach behind him, he instantly understood what was going on, the humid environment, the indescribable strange smell, and the fact that he had accidentally entered the nest of the thief! Fortunately, with his powerful spiritual sense and spiritual retreat, he would have definitely become a filth in the stomach of the four-legged loach by now.

Extremely glad, Xiao Cong continued to urge the spirit to retreat, and the speed increased sharply again, and now he no longer had any reservations

In his opinion, if he let the four-legged loach catch up, it would really be a fatal situation with no way to go to heaven and no way to go down to the ground, he ran for his life while secretly complaining in his heart, today he can meet this legendary thief Xianyi, but it is really a blood mold that has poured eight lifetimes, with the strength of the four-legged loach, even if he cultivates to two more big steps, he will not dare to easily Yingfeng, let alone now? I just hope that this guy won't be too interested in him, and he will be forgiving and forgiving, and the meaning will be observed.

But the ideal has always been plump, but the reality has always been skinny, and it has been half a pillar of incense for a long time, turning his head to look back, he saw that the four-legged loach was still vigorous, and he had no intention of stopping, Xiao Cong scolded it thousands of times in his heart, and his mind was turning,

"I have to think of a way to get rid of it, otherwise I will inevitably die if I am exhausted for a while, I think I Xiao Cong is half a lifetime wise, and it is too aggrieved to die in the hands of this four-legged loach, immortal!"

But after thinking about it, I found that there really was no better way than to run away, and I thought that as long as I didn't fall into the hands of the four-legged loach, there was still a glimmer of hope, but now I realized that no matter what, I would die for life.

"If there are any ancient beasts of similar strength in the vicinity, I can escape to them, and maybe I can get a chance of survival. ”

Since ancient times, fighting with the sky and the earth, the Xiao family is the master who does not accept his fate, just like Xiao Tianyu told Xiao Cong, there must be a crisis behind the vitality, and there must be vitality hidden in the crisis, the grasshopper can shake the will of heaven, and the fluorescence can compete with the bright moon, there has never been an absolute thing in this world, the key is how people do it, so, as a genuine Xiao family, until the last moment, Xiao Cong will never give up on himself.

Although his heart was a little chaotic, he was not in a panic when he was fleeing, Xiao Cong turned around the damp realm, and was running towards the tree hole where he lived last night, because there is also his hidden shadow and painting skin here, which is a coordinate, so that he will not get lost if he runs away from other places, besides, if he does not die, he will have to come back for the night!

Feeling the breath of the magic circle from afar, Xiao Cong knew that the place had arrived, he turned a corner in front of the old tree, and ran straight to the west, which was the direction of the deeper the forest, the more you could meet the ancient beasts the more powerful, Xiao Cong was tantamount to playing with fire at this time, but in this situation, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger, stretching your neck is a knife, shrinking your neck is also a knife, anyway, it is death horizontally and vertically, so why doesn't he shrink his neck a little back, maybe he will dodge it.

"It seems that this time I really have to put some thought into it, and the ancient beasts with advanced Taoism should also live in a relatively different environment like the Thief Immortal, but what kind of special environment? ”

He opened his spiritual sense to the maximum, and paid attention to all the movements around him while running, the forest became denser and denser, the ancient trees became thicker and thicker, and the gap between the trees became larger and larger, at this time it was noon, but there were only dots of light cast from the gaps between the branches and leaves in the clearing of the forest, Xiao Cong found that an unknown alien grass began to appear on the ground, the further north, this difference

The more grass there was, he wanted to take a gamble, saying that life was in the place where the grass flourished, and then he turned and ran north.

There are more and more different grasses, and the forest is getting darker and darker, Xiao Cong opened the martial arts spirit pupil, and faintly saw a slightly bulging dirt bag in front of him, and some distance further on, he found that it was the rotten roots of an old tree, and he didn't know what was dug out and thrown there.

Keen spiritual sense told him that there must be strange in the rotten roots of the old tree that looks messy in this canopy, there are suspicious enemies in front, and there are chasing soldiers in the back, anyway, it is impossible to retreat, he can only fight for luck now, so he gritted his teeth, and brought the spirit to the extreme, and closed his eyes with full firepower, and jumped over from the tent rotten roots, after landing Xiao Cong continued to run for his life, and gradually felt that his strength was not enough, he secretly turned his head to look back, only to see that the thief immortal was also dragging his fat and bulky body from the rotten root and jumped up from the side, and when the body just rushed to the top of the rotten root, it seemed to be attacked by something that rushed up from the rotten rootAfter all, it landed smoothly, and he didn't know what was in the rotten roots, anyway, the four-legged loach was no longer chasing him.

Frightened, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and ran out of the woods like a desperate ride, only to turn around, around this area groping towards the careful cat on the other side of the tree hole, after this catastrophe, he was really a little afraid, at this time, for the sake of safety, no longer dare to swagger in the woods blindly, this in case of another uninvited guest, he can not raise half the strength to escape, so, it doesn't matter if you spend more time and energy, the most important thing is to save your life.

When he touched back to the tree hole, although the sky was dark, but the forest was already dark, he used the only remaining strength to beat a white-eared rabbit and bring it back to the tree hole, peeled and washed it and baked it on the firewood, and then lay down lazily, turning over from time to time, pounding here, kneading there, this fearful absconding turned out to be more tiring than running wildly, accumulating strength, touching the imminent, and kept repeating the process of galloping, resulting in the lingering back pain, but it was not only the body that was affected, but also his tired heart.

He put his arm on his forehead, quietly thinking about what had happened today, his eyes were blank, but his mouth was muttering,

"It turns out that this sunset mountain range is so dangerous, this is only the outer part of the mountain range, and if I enter the hinterland one day, won't it ...... Looks like I'll have to be more careful in the future. ”

"What is that thing that rushed out of the roots of the old tree? I don't know what happened to the two of them in the battle that followed, but the outcome can be seen, alas, I really regret that I didn't stay to watch......"

"Bah, what are you thinking, it's not messy enough, curiosity kills cats, if you stay at that time, I'm afraid it will become a meal in their belly now!"

"But why didn't that thing attack me? Isn't it because I'm too fast? No, his target was originally the thief in the back, it seems that I didn't have the magic eye at all, but on the other hand, if you dare to take the initiative to attack that guy, the odds of victory in your heart should be quite big, alas, forget it, I don't want to, I'm tired of the day, hurry up and finish eating and resting." ”

He groaned slightly, to

Stretching out his arms and slowly sitting up, the white-eared rabbit on the firewood had been roasted with golden oil, he tore off one of his forelimbs, took a bite and chewed hard, and he didn't seem to have any appetite.

Since then, Xiao Cong has become more and more careful in his actions in the forests on the outskirts of the Sunset Mountains, and he has slowly realized a rule - the denser the forest, the better, especially near the water source, the stronger the ancient beasts that live there, on the contrary, the weaker the strength, but in such a situation, even the weakest ancient beasts are, they are almost on par with him.
