Chapter 45: Departure Again
Ji Chen listened quietly like this, without interjecting, because he knew that no matter what he said here, it would be useless.
"Do you know? My father picked up Xia Zi when I was four years old, when she was still a child who couldn't even speak, so we lived together for fourteen years, her growth, everything about her in my eyes......" Xia Xinlan said with tears in her eyes.
"She'll come back, won't she?" Ji Chen said.
"......" Xia Xinlan suddenly raised her head and looked at Ji Chen.
"You have to know that this world belongs to the strong after all, you can protect her now, but maybe there will be some danger in the future that you can't protect her, but if she becomes stronger now, she can better protect herself in the future, don't you?
"Xiao Zi...... Will be back...... Yes, she'll be back!"
"I really don't know what you women think about in a day, I really don't understand, some simple things, you always have to think about very complicated. Ji Chen stood up, walked to Xia Xinlan's side and said.
Ji Chen stretched out a hand, Xia Xinlan hesitated to grab it, but Ji Chen was impatient, and directly pulled Xia Xinlan out and joined the carnival.
......
It was almost early in the morning, and the revelry began to come to an end, and the village gradually returned to peace, and the people went back to their new homes and began to sleep.
"Are you leaving now?" Xia Xinlan and Ji Chen sat on the roof, looking at the beautiful galaxy in the sky. Xia Xinlan looked at Ji Chen and asked.
"Hmm. Ji Chen nodded.
"Where are you going?" Xia Xinlan continued to ask.
"I'll always go north!" Ji Chen said, looking at the far north.
"Where is there anything in the north?" Xia Xinlan asked suspiciously.
"There's my most important thing there!I can't afford to lose it!" Ji Chen said with his head down, his tone full of determination, as if no one could stop him from moving forward.
The most important ...... Stuff...... Xia Xinlan was slightly stunned, she really couldn't imagine that there could be anything important at this young age.
"What about your parents?" Xia Xinlan asked, how could his parents let him come out at such a young age.
"I don't know ......" just four words once again made Xia Xinlan stunned, he didn't even know where his parents were, so isn't he the same as himself, a person?
"I'm sorry......" Xia Xinlan whispered.
"It's okay, I just don't know where they are, I came out this time to find them!" Ji Chen said.
"You have to be hard. Xia Xinlan looked at this still very immature face, and couldn't help but feel sour.
"What's there to suffer, fighting for your goal, even if it's hard, it's worth it!" Ji Chen said with his fists clenched.
Xia Xinlan knew that she was older than this teenager, but at this moment, she seemed to feel that she was more naïve than this teenager, but this teenager was so vicissitudes...... Is it a delusion?
"It's time for me to leave!" Ji Chen said, standing up and looking at the already silent village.
"Then, will you come back?" Xia Xinlan asked cautiously.
"Maybe, maybe not, I don't know if I'm going to live or die along the way, and no one knows what will happen tomorrow. Ji Chen jumped off the roof and shook the dust off his body.
"Take care all the way......" Xia Xinlan knew that her retention had no effect, all she could do was to bless him and have a smooth journey......
Far away, Xia Xinlan was still looking at this lonely back, under the moonlight, she was on the roof, he was on the road, one was hunting in black robes, the other was fluttering in white, two people were destined to be strangers......
......
It was a mountain range, with the roar of wild beasts coming from time to time, and the trees were enveloped in darkness, adding to the terrifying atmosphere here. At night, a teenager can be seen walking, seemingly unfazed by the horrors of the place.
This person is Ji Chen, who set off from Xiajiazhuang, and has been walking for more than an hour, and it has been nearly four watches, and this is the best time for all kinds of beasts to wreak havoc, and in the dark, there are many places where there is fighting.
"Boy, that little girl is still a little reluctant to you!" Yan teased Ji Chen, who was hurrying.
"No......" Ji Chen said in amazement, didn't she let herself have a smooth journey, why was she reluctant......
"It's okay for you kid to fight, but it's stupider than elm when you encounter this, I can see it, that little girl is not ordinary to you......" Yan continued.
"Gotta get it, I'm a ten-year-old little doll, it's still far from being clear, so you won't add to the chaos!" Ji Chen stopped Yan's teasing.
"Speaking of which...... Do you remember what I told you about something important to tell you?" Yan suddenly asked, "I was supposed to tell you earlier, but things came a little suddenly, so I didn't have time to talk about it." ”
"Well, I remember, I thought you were joking......" Ji Chen pouted and said.
"I'm not interested in joking with you, I'm serious!" Yan said solemnly.
"Okay, okay, you go on. Ji Chen stopped, found a relatively thick tree, then sat on the tree, squinted his eyes and said.
"You kid, don't be afraid to summon wild beasts!" Yan said.
"Are you still afraid of beasts?" Ji Chen also teased.
"I'm not afraid!" said a flash of red light, and then a bewitching and beautiful woman-like figure floated out of Ji Chen's chest, "I'm afraid that you will encounter some powerful spirit beast or something, and force yourself to death!"
"Yan, ah......" Ji Chen looked at the beautiful Yan and said.
"What's wrong?" the thing stretched out a palm that was whiter than a woman's hand, dragging its long white hair.
"Can you change your appearance?" you ...... like this," Ji Chen paused and said, "It's disgusting!"
"How do you kid talk! This is called feminine beauty! What do you know, you will get used to it when you look at it more in the future......" Yan was choked by Ji Chen all of a sudden.
Similarly, when Ji Chen heard this, his face was also black...... What do you mean to get used to it just by looking at it......
"Okay, let's get down to business!" Ji Chen coughed twice and hurriedly said.
"Hmm," and then Yan floated over, facing Ji Chen, the two faces of the two were so close that even Ji Chen's breathing inflammation could be felt.
Ji Chen's face darkened, and then he broke out......
"Stay away from me!" Ji Chen roared.
"You're making trouble for yourself...... Yan left Ji Chen and said faintly, "The monsters around here have definitely been called over by you......"
"If you want to make a whole Lao Tzu, just say, what are you doing with so much effort!" Then a golden-veined leopard burst out from the side, an ordinary beast.
"You're wrong to blame me, I just want to tell you something, you brought these things over yourself...... "Yan continued to be a business......
"It's in your hands!" Ji Chen said indignantly.
The leopard is very agile and very fast, if you are not careful, even an ordinary monk in the Pulse Crossing Period will catch its path, but this speed is obviously a little insufficient in front of Ji Chen, Ji Chen leaned back slightly, and dodged the leopard's attack.
Suddenly, Ji Chen's hair suddenly rose, a sense of crisis suddenly appeared, and he hurriedly jumped away from here, vaguely, he seemed to see a dark green three-character snake head erected in the bushes, a pair of small ruby eyes were looking in his direction, and the sudden attack, this huge snake with a green body opened its mouth and bit towards Ji Chen, Ji Chen was retreating, this snake chased Ji Chen, Ji Chen had nowhere to hide, seeing that the giant snake was about to contact Ji Chen, Ji Chen was not in a hurry at all.
I thought it would be a powerful monster, but I didn't expect it to be just a snake, no big deal!
Ji Chen turned his hand into a palm and slashed directly at the giant python, Ji Chen's body is powerful, this palm can definitely open the monument and rubble! But when Ji Chen's palm touched the giant python, Ji Chen's face changed slightly, the skin of this snake is too hard!
Although it didn't succeed in killing the giant python this time, under Ji Chen's perverted strength, the snake still flew out, and the severe pain made it let out a croaking scream.
Ji Chen was suddenly blinded by the snake's call......
"Don't be stupid, this is not an ordinary beast like you used to chop melons and vegetables," Yan leaned against the place where Ji Chen was leaning on just now, "This is a spirit...... It's still a second-order ......."
"How did you recognize that...... Obviously, there is no Lingyuan fluctuation...... "Ji Chen once again knocked the giant python away as he spoke.
The leopard, seeing that there were animals coming to grab food, naturally wanted to eliminate the competitors first, so the poor leopard was directly swallowed by the giant python and digested in an instant.
"Let's just say that you can only fight!" Yan said disdainfully, "Only people can rely on spiritual energy to cultivate, and these spirits have no cultivation method, they have lived in the deep mountains or some rarely visited places for generations, but even if they don't have a cultivation method, they have gradually figured out a set of cultivation methods suitable for themselves - absorbing essence!"
"What essence?" For a while, Ji Chen couldn't help this spirit python, during which several beasts with no long eyes came here, either Ji Chen turned his palm and hacked to death, or was swallowed alive by the giant python.
"All essences, all powerful things! This is somewhat similar to your Sky Devourer, except that they have to absorb very pure energy, otherwise they will explode and die due to the energy mixture, so those monks become one of the main targets of the spirits. ”
"I've also heard that they also absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, isn't it true......" Ji Chen remembered some legends from his previous life.
"It seems that there is, but the efficiency is not too high, so there are almost no spirits who try to cultivate with the essence of the sun and the moon!" Yan thought about it.
It's really ...... Ji Chen was speechless.
"I've had enough, I've had enough to tell you!" Yan glanced at Ji Chen and said lightly.
"I finally came across one, so naturally I want to have a good time......" Ji Chen smiled.
"In the future, if you fight, let's get down to business first!" Yan shouted at Ji Chen.
"Okay, it's a pity that it's too weak, otherwise I might have played a little longer......" Ji Chen sighed.
Saying that, a fist was imprinted on the body of the spirit python, and the giant python didn't realize it, and the bloody mouth still tore at Ji Chen, but before it reached Ji Chen, the python's internal organs were all shattered by Ji Chen's punch and died.
"You can really use your explosive punch there......" Yan sighed.
