Chapter 8 Arriving in a Different Place for the First Time
Yang Chen had a long dream, in which he became a world-class mind cultivator.
But he still failed to protect Zi Ling'er after all. He saw Zi Wusheng's disappointed and sad expression, and saw Zi Ling'er's tearful expression when she was dying.
He hugged Zi Ling'er's corpse and roared there, his voice echoing in the sky without reading, as if mocking his incompetence.
"Ling'er!" Yang Chen sat up suddenly, and a fine light burst out of his eyes, which slowly dissipated, revealing a blank look.
"It turned out to be a dream" Yang Chen stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and not far in front of him, there was a purple shadow.
"Ling'er?" Yang Chen immediately turned over, walked over, gently helped Zi Ling'er up, and called softly.
"Huh" The lovely person in his arms sighed, and then his beautiful eyes slowly opened, looking sleepy-eyed.
"Ling'er. Seeing that Zi Ling'er was awake, Yang Chen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Zi Wusheng handed over Zi Ling'er to him yesterday, if something happened, he would be dead.
"Ah" Unexpectedly, Zi Ling'er just woke up, pushed Yang Chen away, and took several steps back.
Yang Chen was stunned, looked at Zi Ling'er, and wondered, "What's wrong?"
"What are you doing?" Zi Ling'er stared at Yang Chen with an unkind expression.
"What for?"
"What did you just do with me?"
"Ahem, I just saw you unconscious, and I wanted to wake you up" Yang Chen's face was slightly red, as if he was holding her just now.
"Hmph, that's pretty much it. When I was leaving, my dad told me that if you did me wrong, I would ......."
"Just what?"
"That's it...... There's definitely a way to clean you up. Zi Ling'er's clever eyes rolled and said mysteriously.
Yang Chen was speechless, but he didn't care, but then he felt his shoulders sink.
Almost instinctively, his right hand reached out like lightning, and as soon as he grabbed the figure on his shoulder, he was about to pull it down.
"Twitter"
The familiar cry in his ears made Yang Chen's movements pause, and he immediately brought it to his eyes.
A body of golden hair, twice as big as the original, looking like a miniature version of an ape, glaring angrily at Yang Chen, obviously dissatisfied with what Yang Chen had just done, it was Sun Tian.
"You kid, why did you grow so big? If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't speak, I only knew twitter, I really wouldn't have recognized it. Yang Chen looked at Sun Tian with a look of surprise.
'Twitter'
Sun Tian got rid of Yang Chen's hand, stood on the ground and gestured with his hand a few times.
Now Sun Tian doesn't seem to have as much difficulty standing up as before.
"Oh...... I seem to have heard the master say that he would break the seal in your body, is that the one?" Yang Chen suddenly remembered.
"Twitter"
The little monkey nodded proudly, looking high-spirited.
"This is that little monkey, why did it suddenly grow so big?" As soon as Zi Ling'er saw Sun Tian's appearance, she immediately walked over, squatted on the ground, and gently stroked Sun Tian's head.
"It's so much cuter and fluffier than it used to be. Zi Ling'er turned around and smiled at Yang Chen.
"Twitter"
Sun Tian snorted twice dissatisfied, but he didn't get angry with Zi Ling'er. She knew that this girl occupied a very important position in Yang Chen's eyes, and it was not the first time she had known Zi Ling'er.
Taking advantage of Zi Ling'er teasing Sun Tian, Yang Chen began to look at the surrounding environment.
It's a forest, but it's completely different from the woods beneath the Fallen Heart Peak. The trees here are round and straight, and there are large gaps between trees, often far apart.
The ground between the trees does not look like the thick thatch under the Falling Heart Peak, but is a soft, dwarf grass.
The most important thing is the terrain, the ground under the peak is high and uneven, and it is extremely difficult to walk. It's very flat here.
Obviously, there are no mountains in the vicinity and it is close to the edge of the forest.
Another point is the air here, compared to Luoxin Peak, the air here contains a refreshing smell. It's a smell that only anyone who has breathed oppressive air can keenly notice the difference.
"This should be what the master said about aura. Yang Chen said secretly. He felt that the muscles and veins of his whole body were relaxing, as if the long-arid land had finally waited for a spring rain.
Even Yang Chen couldn't wait to sit down cross-legged and start cultivating now, after seeing the strength of Nan Ion, Yang Chen was full of yearning for the strength of flying in the sky and changing the color of heaven and earth with a wave of his hand.
And when the master left, he also gave him the task.
Unique!
There was a fire burning in Yang Chen's heart.
"Ling'er, let's get out of here" Yang Chen circled around before he said to Zi Ling'er.
He weighed it and still didn't choose to cultivate here. The cultivation of a mind cultivator is a process of incorporating the aura of heaven and earth. During this period, it is most taboo to be disturbed, once there is a mistake, the spiritual power will be disordered, if it is at the moment of breakthrough, even the muscles and veins of the whole body are in danger of being broken by the violent spiritual power.
"Then where are we going now?Do you know where to go?" Zi Ling'er put away the hand that was stroking Sun Tian's head, looked up and said suspiciously.
Sun Tian seemed to be used to this meeting, and simply lay on the ground enjoying himself, his small eyes narrowed into a thin slit.
"Of course, this place is close to the edge of the forest, and the further north you go, the sparse trees become, so we just need to follow this direction, and we can go out," Yang Chen stretched out his hand and pointed to the north, and smiled.
"You kid, it's not bad, you can also analyze the terrain" Zi Ling'er stood up and patted Yang Chen's shoulder: "What are you doing in a daze, let's go"
After speaking, without waiting for Yang Chen's reaction, he walked happily in the direction he pointed.
Yang Chen shook his head with a wry smile, but still followed, and Sun Tian also jumped on his shoulder.
Zi Ling'er took a deep breath of air from time to time as she walked, and turned around and smiled, "Yang Chen, I feel that the air here is much better than my mountain peak."
She laughed, one pair of eyes bent into a crescent, and two rows of snow-white shell teeth were bright and dazzling. Occasionally, he also brushed the hair in front of his forehead with his hand, and the purple bell bracelet on his wrist had a crisp and pleasant sound, which came into Yang Chen's heart.
"That's because there is aura here, and we don't have it there" Yang Chen also smiled.
"Reiki, what is that?" Zi Ling'er asked with another big sip.
Yang Chen was stunned and said in surprise:
"Didn't Uncle Shi tell you that Reiki is necessary for mind cultivators?
"Who told you that I am a mind cultivator?" Zi Ling'er glanced at Yang Chen, and said in a coquettish voice, "My father said that we are neither cultivators nor mind cultivators?"
"Hehe, do you want to know what I'm cultivating?" Zi Ling'er suddenly ran up to Yang Chen and laughed slyly.
A faint fragrance mixed with the smell of grass and trees in the air penetrated into Yang Chen's nostrils along the tip of his nose, making him nod his head and take a deep breath.
"I just won't tell you. Zi Ling'er turned her head away and ran away again, facing the sunlight falling from the gap in the woods, Zi Ling'er was even happier.
Nothing made her happier than teasing Yang Chen.
She is like a butterfly that will land on your shoulder, but it will never stop in the palm of your hand.
Suddenly, Yang Chen felt this feeling.
"Ling'er, you go slowly, the situation here is unknown, I'm afraid there is danger" Yang Chen was so stunned, Zi Ling'er had already run out of the boss, and he had to go up to chase after him.
Yang Chen and Sun Tian walked like this under the leadership of Zi Ling'er.
There are fewer and fewer trees, basically one every ten meters. Without the shelter of the trees, some wildflowers began to appear on the ground, and occasionally a few swirled around the wildflowers.
Zi Linger also caught butterflies all the way, but along the way, she picked a large handful of wildflowers in her hands, but none of the butterflies were caught.
She couldn't always make sure that the butterflies were still in good condition and still able to catch them.
However, these did not affect her mood, still interspersed between flowers and butterflies, and she was as cheerful as a dancing butterfly.
Yang Chen constantly looked at the surrounding environment, sometimes looking from afar, sometimes stopping to listen carefully.
In this unfamiliar environment, no one can guarantee that there is no danger, and Yang Chen can only try to ensure that there is no danger in his sight and hearing range.
Occasionally, he would also set his eyes on Zi Ling'er, the girl whose whole body was full of sunshine and happiness.
Every time he saw Zi Ling'er, his heart would be calmer than ever, whether he was humiliated or frustrated, her smile seemed to have a magical power to make people forget all their troubles and unhappiness.
He wanted to protect her and protect this ray of sunshine. I don't know when it started.
Maybe it was after killing Luo Hao, she threw herself into her arms and cried silently. Maybe it was after Zi Wusheng handed her over to himself.
The reason is no longer important, what matters is that now, he wants to protect her.
This was already the edge of the forest, and Yang Chen had a feeling that they could walk out of the forest without a cup of tea.
And according to his inspection, the bark of some trees here has been destroyed by sharp weapons, and there are obvious signs of fighting. So, in addition to the forest, it is not far from the place where there are people.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Yang Chen's body froze, and his eyes looked at the woods to the west.
"Twitter"
At the same time, the little monkey also woke up from his nap, as if sensing some danger, and screamed vigilantly.
Whether it was Yang Chen or Sun Tian, who had been killing tigers for so many years, he had an almost instinctive perception of the wind and grass around him, and he also smelled a smell of blood in the air.
"Ling'er, stay here, I'll go over there and take a look. Yang Chen hurriedly walked to Zi Ling'er's side and whispered.
Zi Ling'er felt the seriousness of Yang Chen's tone, and wondered, "What's wrong?"
"There is a smell of blood in the forest to the west, there may be people or monsters, I'll check it out. Yang Chen said.
"I'm going too. Zi Ling'er said immediately.
"No, there may be danger there, and I'm just going to find out about the situation, it's easy to be exposed when there are too many people, and it will be even more dangerous when the time comes. Yang Chen directly refused.
"Hmph!" Zi Ling'er snorted angrily, she found that Yang Chen at this time was no longer the stupid boy she bullied on weekdays, and there was an unquestionable taste between her gestures, and she couldn't tolerate the slightest objection at all.
"Sun Tian, stay and take care of Ling'er, never leave. Yang Chen glanced at Zi Ling'er and didn't have time to explain, so he ordered.
"Twitter"
Sun Tian stretched out his hand and made a move, and the pitch-black mixed yuan stick was held in his hand.
Seeing this, Yang Chen nodded reassuringly and ran cautiously towards the west.
He knew that this stick alone weighed 100,000 catties, and even a cultivator from the Spirit Burial Realm would be enough to eat a pot, not to mention a mind cultivator who didn't pay enough attention to his body.
