There was still more than half of the wild fruits that Lin Xu picked yesterday, so Lin Xu and Shangguan Tianfang took these wild fruits for breakfast and ate them with relish. After filling their stomachs, the two continued on their way, walking along the winding path in the Devil's Valley.

Along the way, Lin Xuan and Shangguan Tianfang saw the remains of dead people on the side of the path and in the grass from time to time, and some of them had even turned into a pile of white bones, which looked particularly eerie and terrifying. Several times, Shangguan Tianfang was so frightened that he hid behind Lin Xu. She had never seen so many dead people's bones, and she couldn't help but be stunned.

At the same time, Lin Xuan also found that all kinds of swords and other weapons were discarded everywhere in the Demon Valley, some of them were rusty and very old, and some were shiny and fresh. It seems that they are all left behind by those who have died.

The owners of the old and rusty weapons should have been long since a pile of bones, and the owners of the weapons that were still fresh should have just died.

As far as Lin Xuan knew, the people who entered the Demon Valley were all willing to accept the test of the Thousand Ice Sword Sect, and they wanted to join the Thousand Ice Sword Sect before they came to take the risk, otherwise no ordinary people would dare to enter this extremely dangerous valley.

Those who died had clearly met with the unexpected. It may have been killed by demonic beasts, or it may have been entangled by those life-killing vines and entangled to death. In short, these remains and white bones were already reminding Lin Xuan and Shangguan Tianfang that the Demon Valley was indeed very dangerous, and they must not be taken lightly.

Lin Xuan saw those corpses and bones, although his heart was not full of fear like Shangguan Tianfang, but he also felt boastful, feeling that people's pursuit of the path of cultivation sometimes did have to be at the cost of their lives, and the result was not necessarily successful.

Those who had already died in the Demon Valley before they had passed through the Thousand Ice Sword Sect were obviously losers, but as a fellow believer, Lin Xuan had deep sympathy for them, and at the same time secretly reminded himself to brace himself and bravely meet the unknown challenges ahead.

Seeing Shangguan Tianfang's pale face and trembling all over, he was obviously frightened by the terrifying scene he saw in front of him. Lin Xuan hurriedly comforted her and said, "Senior sister, don't be afraid, with me, you won't be hurt." I will do my best to protect you. ”

"Senior brother, we didn't see anyone's corpse anywhere we walked yesterday, and it seems that now we have walked to a place where demonic beasts are easy to infest. Shangguan Tianfang said to Lin Xu in a low voice.

"Senior sister, you have to believe me, no matter what kind of demonic beast, I can defeat it. Lin Xuan said to Shangguan Tianfang very firmly, and also reached out and hugged her shoulders hard, as a way to give her confidence and strength.

Encouraged by Lin Xu, Shangguan Tianfang seemed to have become much calmer. She looked at Lin Xu, nodded vigorously, and said, "Well, senior brother, in my eyes, you are the strongest swordsman in the world, of course I believe you!"

As he spoke, a smile immediately appeared on Shangguan Tianfang's little face, and his expression was no longer as frightened as just now, but seemed much more relaxed.

In order to give Shangguan Tianfang courage and make this beautiful girl feel more secure, Lin Xuan simply took her little hand and continued to move forward hand in hand. If someone sees the two of them so close now, they will definitely think that they are a pair of lovers.

But in fact, neither Lin Xuan nor Shangguan Tianfang had yet to reveal their hearts to the other party. Both of them wanted to think about the matter of their children's relationship after they had made a greater contribution to the cultivation path. Even if the two of them understand each other's intentions now, they will bury this feeling deep in their hearts, and it is a beautiful thing not to pick it out for the time being, and to enjoy this hazy love.

After walking for more than an hour, a small river appeared in front of Lin Xuan and Shangguan Tianfang. To the surprise of the two, the small river actually crossed the entire Demon Valley, completely blocking their way.

"The Thousand Ice Sword Sect didn't even send someone to build a bridge over this river, it was really deliberately embarrassing. Shangguan Tianfang couldn't help but complain.

"Senior sister, don't forget that we are now being tested. This may be the test that the Thousand Ice Sword Sect has put on us, if there is a bridge to walk over, then this test will be too easy. Lin Xuan only smiled and comforted Shangguan Tianfang.

The river is not wide, it is probably less than ten zhang wide by visual measurement, but Lin Xuan and Shangguan Tianfang do not have the ability to fly with the sword, and they cannot fly over.

"Alas, senior brother, it seems that we can only swim over. Shangguan Tianfang sighed softly and said to Lin Xuan a little helplessly.

Shangguan Tianfang said that, he actually wanted to jump into the river immediately and prepare to swim through. Innocent and kind, she obviously didn't anticipate the potential danger in the river.

"Wait, sister, don't worry. Lin Xuan shouted loudly, and hurriedly reached out to stop Shangguan Tianfang and didn't let her go down the river first.

"Senior brother, what's wrong?" Shangguan Tianfang asked Lin Xudao puzzled.

"Beware of monsters or monsters in the river, let me test them first. Lin Xuan replied to Shangguan Tianfang seriously and seriously.

"Oh, okay!" Shangguan Tianfang was in a trance, and finally reacted, and also felt that what Lin Xu said was reasonable, so he nodded in agreement without hesitation.

Although the water of this small river is very clear, it is still impossible to see the bottom with the naked eye, and it is obviously very deep. If there is a monster lurking at the bottom of the river, it will not be visible from the surface of the river, and it may be attacked after going down the river. When the time comes, it will be too late to find out.

Lin Xu went to the side of the road and found a big stone, picked it up with both hands and smashed it into the river. In the blink of an eye, the boulder sank to the bottom of the river and disappeared completely.

"Whoa!"

A huge sound of water suddenly sounded, and a demon dragon suddenly flew from under the river, causing a huge wave to rise high on the surface of the river.

After the demon dragon broke away from the river, it rushed straight into the air, hovering and flying above the heads of Lin Xuan and Shangguan Tianfang, and also made a look of teeth and claws, as if it was blaming Lin Xu for throwing down the big stone that alarmed its sweet dreams, and would attack Lin Xuan and Shangguan Tianfang at any time.

"Ah, Demon Dragon!" Shangguan Tianfang exclaimed, startled. She was secretly glad that Lin Xuan had grabbed her in time just now. Otherwise, after she goes down to the river now, she will also alarm the demon dragon, and it may have already become the devil's mouth.

"Senior sister, you just hide behind my back, let me deal with it. Lin Xuan pulled out the Blue Ice Sword and stood in front of Shangguan Tianfang very bravely, ready to fight the demon dragon at any time to protect his beloved girl.

At this time, Lin Xuan and Shangguan Tianfang had already seen clearly that this was a cyan demon dragon with water attributes and attack power of at least three stars, but it was not as strong as a five-star one. Therefore, Lin Xuan was still very sure of defeating this demon dragon, because he was in the Demon Beast, and even the five-star Demon Beast had been defeated. Then this demon dragon below five stars is even more of a problem.

However, a scene that neither Lin Xu nor Shangguan Tianfang expected appeared. I saw that the cyan demon dragon circled and flew in the air for a while, and then it fell down heavily without warning, and just landed in front of Lin Xu.

"Bang!"

The sound was dull and loud, and the dust on the ground suddenly flew in all directions under the impact of the demon dragon.

The demon dragon is huge, and it weighs at least a thousand catties. When it fell, it shook the ground.

Even though Shangguan Tianfang was hiding behind Lin Xu, he was still frightened and screamed, and hurriedly retreated a few steps back, a little farther away from the demon dragon. And Lin Xu still looked extremely calm, without the slightest fright. He just wondered, how could this demon dragon fall from the sky?

Lin Xuan stared at the demon dragon lying on the ground, and at the same time maintained his original vigilance, not relaxing at all, lest the demon dragon launch a surprise attack on him. But Lin Xuan soon saw clearly, the demon dragon was lying on the ground with its mouth open, panting rapidly, and letting out painful moans from time to time. The dragon's tail was also swaying constantly, as if it was asking Lin Xuan for help.

At this moment, Lin Xuan finally understood. The dragon was obviously injured, and it was not lightly injured, just now it suddenly flew up from the river, stayed in the air for a while, and completely exhausted the strength of its body, so that it did not have time to land on the ground, and fell down heavily.

While Lin Xuan was staring at the demon dragon, the demon dragon was actually looking at Lin Xu. I saw that both of its eyes were cloudy and gray, without any fierce light, very different from other demonic beasts that would attack people.

Lin Xuan thought about it for a while, and felt that he might be able to become friends with this demon dragon. Because the Demon Dragon is a unique spiritual beast, as long as it can feel the kindness of humans, then it can live in peace with humans. This is clearly different from those demonic beasts such as demon wolves or demon tigers that are extremely ferocious by nature.

And Lin Xu has seen it now. This demon dragon only showed a fierce face to him when he was frightened and flew out of the river just now, but now the demon dragon may feel that he is not a threat to himself, and he does not have the appearance of the menacing attack just now.

On the contrary, Lin Xuan had already felt the kindness that the demon dragon had unleashed on him.

He immediately put the blue ice sword in his hand back into its sheath, turned back to Shangguan Tianfang who was standing behind him and said, "Senior sister, it seems that this demon dragon will not attack us. It's hurt, I'm going to see if I can help it heal. ”

"No, brother, that's too dangerous. What if as soon as you walk over, it suddenly flies up and bites you?" Shangguan Tianfang dissuaded Lin Xudao worriedly.

"No, don't worry. Lin Xuan shook his head and said to Shangguan Tianfang seriously: "I can see clearly, this demon dragon seems to be not lightly injured, and it is asking me for help." ”

"Then you have to be careful. Shangguan Tianfang told Lin Xudao.

"I will. After Lin Xuan nodded and agreed to Shangguan Tianfang, he walked towards the demon dragon.
