The Xiyou Mountains stretch for hundreds of miles, with green mountains and green waters, and the scenery is pleasant.

However, this mountain range is also the most dangerous place in the vicinity, and the number of demon beasts is huge, faintly opposing Aquila City. If they are allowed to grow, they will obviously be a big threat to Aquila City.

The outskirts of the mountain range are okay, and there are not many powerful demon beasts, which may also be related to the autumn hunting of the Aquila Academy over the years.

But in the depths of the mountain range, there are still a lot of high-level demon beasts of all kinds, not to mention these mere students, even if the high-level members of the academy form a team to enter the mountain, they don't dare to go too far.

The purpose of their autumn hunting was only to inhibit the development of low-level demon beasts, so that they could not form a large army of demon beasts, thus triggering a beast tide.

As soon as Xiao Ning entered the mountain, he smelled the fresh breath of nature, which lifted his spirits.

At this moment, without the constraints of the academy, Xiao Ning was like a dragon entering the sea, swimming at will, from his rebirth to the present, he had not been so relaxed.

Of course, in order to be more comfortable in the future, he couldn't start to relax at this moment, and after adjusting his mood a little, Xiao Ning began to walk deep into the mountains and forests.

"On the periphery of the mountains and forests, there are basically demon beasts with the strength of two or three stars of black iron, if the breath of the flying electric cat is released, I'm afraid they will be scared to the core. ”

In the distance, Xiao Ning saw a pig-like demon beast, looking at him vigilantly from a distance, and couldn't help but smile secretly.

But he didn't do that, with his perception ability, it was still easy to avoid the attack range of the demon beast, his figure flashed, and he had already swayed in front of the pig demon beast, and left quickly, until he couldn't sense Xiao Ning's breath, the pig demon relaxed his vigilance.

The intuition of demon beasts is much more powerful than that of humans, although Xiao Ning did not exude any momentum, but this pig demon subconsciously sensed danger, otherwise he would have pounced on Xiao Ning as food.

This was just a small episode, Xiao Ning didn't care about it at all, sneaking all the way, easily avoiding all kinds of low-level demon beasts.

"Huh?"

At this moment, Xiao Ning's brows furrowed slightly, his footsteps did not stop, but his heart was already secretly alert.

Someone is following!

At first, he thought it was a demon beast, but after careful identification, he realized that it was the breath of a human being.

The person who followed him seemed to have the strength of five or six stars, which made Xiao Ning very strange. Not long after he said goodbye to the junior students, how could someone with intermediate strength suddenly appear? Could it be Yang Feng?

But it's not right, Yang Feng's breath Xiao Ning remembered that this person was definitely not Yang Feng, and although Yang Feng's injury was almost better, it was not suitable to do drastic movements, so he did not participate in this autumn hunting meeting.

"Could it be that there are still people in the beginner class who are hiding their strengths, what is the purpose, and what does it have to do with me?"

Xiao Ning had a big question mark on his head, but relying on speculation alone, he would definitely not come to any conclusions. After a little muttering, Xiao Ning quickened his pace, dodged to the tops of a large tree, and blocked his figure with the dense branches and leaves.

Through the gaps in the leaves, Xiao Ning could see the way he came, and in his perception, the person who had been tracking was also approaching.

Soon, a figure appeared where he was just now, looked left and right, and seemed to frown because he didn't see Xiao Ning.

"It turned out to be him. ”

Xiao Ning saw the person who came clearly, but the doubts in his heart were even worse.

In fact, he had long noticed that there were two people in the academy who had been paying special attention to him, and there had been several conflicts with people, and it seemed that they were all contributing to the trouble.

Xiao Ning thought he was someone's little brother, or he regarded him as a thorn in his side because of jealousy, and he didn't pay much attention to it.

But now, it is obviously not what he thought, because this person is full of murderous face, there must be something wrong.

The person who came was actually Wu Shijun's nephew Wu Jiancheng, Xiao Ning didn't know his identity yet, so it was naturally impossible to guess it.

Wu Jiancheng and Wu Wenhua had already discussed that they wanted to make a move on Xiao Ning in the autumn hunt, and the master had already arranged it, and he could summon people over in a short time just by waiting for him to send a signal.

Therefore, he must follow Xiao Ning closely and know Xiao Ning's movements at any time, in this vast mountain, once he loses Xiao Ning's position, it will be difficult to find someone.

Originally, it was most appropriate for Wu Wenhua to do this, after all, Wu Wenhua was also a member of the junior class, but because Wu Wenhua only had four stars of black iron and was easy to be discovered by Xiao Ning, Wu Jiancheng did not go to the intermediate class to meet, but quietly blended into the junior class.

When he was at the bottom of the mountain, he saw Xiao Ning acting alone, and immediately knew that the opportunity had come, so he asked Wu Wenhua to come later, and he himself hung directly behind Xiao Ning, leaving marks along the way.

He didn't dare to get too close to Xiao Ning, for fear of being discovered in advance, which would arouse Xiao Ning's vigilance. It's just that Xiao Ning's speed is too fast, and he almost lost it several times, so he had no choice but to get closer quietly, but he lost people as soon as he got closer.

"X, this kid acts alone and acts alone, running so fast to be reincarnated?"

There was no one left and right, and Wu Jiancheng couldn't help but curse in a low voice.

Originally, he followed Xiao Ning, and if he encountered a demon beast, Xiao Ning would deal with it, but if he went to find it himself, once he encountered a demon beast and made a noise, I am afraid that he would directly expose his body.

Anyway, there are still twenty days to go, and it is not a wise choice to expose it now, so I have no choice but to go back.

Wu Jiancheng had just walked out not far away, and before he left Xiao Ning's sight, Wu Wenhua also followed, and the two of them got together and muttered for a while, not knowing what they were discussing.

However, from the cruel look in their eyes, Xiao Ning knew that there must be some conspiracy between these two people.

"A black iron four-star, a black iron six-star, I can't make any big waves if I think about it, so I still don't care about them. ”

Xiao Ning was not a bloodthirsty person, although he was sure that he was an enemy, but after all, they could not pose a threat to him, so he ignored them.

After Wu Jiancheng and Wu Wenhua walked away, Xiao Ning quietly left without arousing their alarm.

"Well, if you go a little further, you should be able to enter the area divided by the first courtyard. ”

Xiao Ning identified the direction a little, and then contacted the map of the mountains and forests that Ye Qingdie had shown him when he came, and determined the area where the first courtyard was located.

When he came out this time, he wanted to find Ye Qingdie first, and then act together.

According to the mark left by Ye Qingdie, Xiao Ning chased all the way, and it didn't take long to see the people from the First Courtyard.

Xiao Ning's ability to hide his body was much better than Wu Jiancheng's, and even those bronze strength students in the First Academy couldn't discover him.

continued to sneak, and in a relatively secluded place, I finally saw Ye Qingdie's figure.

It's just that what makes him frown is that there are two girls beside Ye Qingdie, both of whom are in their twenties, Xiao Ning vaguely remembers that they seem to be Yu Feihong's disciples.

If he showed up directly, if he wanted to take Ye Qingdie away, he would definitely be blocked, and in desperation, Xiao Ning could only retreat quietly.

Looks like these two guys were sent by Fei Fei Hong to protect Fluttershy, and I'm afraid they won't leave easily. ”

It was impossible to take Ye Qingdie away when they weren't paying attention, Xiao Ning decided to go around to the front first, leave a code for Ye Qingdie, and let Ye Qingdie find a way to get rid of those two people.

......

"Little junior sister, if you encounter a demon beast for a while, you can make a move when we ask you to make a move, otherwise something will happen, and we will not be able to explain it to Master Yu. ”

A girl next to Ye Qingdie said to Ye Qingdie, but her expression was not so kind.

This girl's name is Wang Ruoyan, and the one accompanying her is called Chen Xiaoyan, Xiao Ning guessed correctly, they are all Yu Feihong's disciples, and their cultivation is very high, and the main task of coming here this time is to protect Ye Qingdie.

It's just that the dignified bronze-level swordsman was actually sent to protect a milky little girl, which made them very unhappy, but they couldn't help but listen to Yu Feihong's words.

How do you know, Ye Qingdie is even more helpless in her heart, Brother Xiao Ning said that growing up under the protection of others is like a flower in a greenhouse, it is difficult to achieve much, she prefers to act alone, or with Brother Xiao Ning.

However, she couldn't refuse Yu Feihong's arrangement, and nodded a little depressedly to show that she understood.

Wang Ruoyan saw that Ye Qingdie didn't care, and her heart was even more unhappy, she snorted slightly coldly and didn't speak.

Chen Xiaoyan and Wang Ruoyan have the same idea, before Ye Qingdie came, they were Yu Feihong's most proud disciples, and almost any good thing would fall on them. But since Ye Qingdie came to the Sky Eagle Academy, everything has changed.

Yu Feihong's center of gravity is completely inclined to Ye Qingdie, which makes them very jealous, and they will always find trouble with Ye Qingdie from time to time, although it can't be too obvious, so that it is still okay to make a small stumbling block.

At this moment, I suddenly heard Ye Qingdie say: "Senior sister, I have something to do, can you leave for a while?"

Ye Qingdie saw the mark that Xiao Ning left on her, which was the mark they had agreed on before they came.

From the meaning expressed in the above mark, Ye Qingdie knew that Xiao Ning had something important, but she didn't know what Xiao Ning was looking for her to do. But since it is very important, it is necessary to meet Xiao Ning as soon as possible.

How could Wang Ruoyan and the others agree? The two of them almost said in unison: "No!"

Wang Ruoyan said: "Master Yu has instructed that you are not allowed to leave our line of sight, in case of an accident, it is not your business alone, it will affect us." ”

Ye Qingdie's willow eyebrows frowned slightly, she also knew that the two senior sisters had opinions about her, and she couldn't care about it before, but now that Xiao Ning is here, she must be separated from the two senior sisters.

Xiao Ning must have his reason for not showing up, Ye Qingdie said in a firm tone: "Two senior sisters, I am not a child, I can take responsibility for something happening, I really have something." ”

She didn't know what to do, Xiao Ning couldn't say anything about coming to her, so she had to say that there was something.

Ye Qingdie is still very gentle on weekdays, and she will always be submissive, when will she talk to them in this tone? Wang Ruoyan was so angry that she was about to speak, but when she saw Chen Xiaoyan winking at her, she suddenly thought in her heart.
