Chapter 18: The Ancient Mountains
Royal Gardens of the Academy
"What! Why is it so sudden. Lu Qi was surprised.
"Who knows what madness the dean is going on, and without any warning, they announced that the school competition would start tomorrow. ”
Gu Cheng spread his hands, peeled the oranges in his hands, and continued.
"But it's not us who are worried, don't forget, we're what they're trying to catch. ”
Indeed, the sudden receipt of such news would undoubtedly surprise every student, but it was not a test. Shen Yue said lightly.
"Bai Yi, what do you think?"
Su Yun asked. She had been secretly observing Bai Yi, but found that Bai Yi seemed to have known about it a long time ago, and she didn't take it to heart at all.
"It's quite sudden, but I don't think I'll be there for tomorrow's school competition. Bai Yi replied.
"Ahh Mu Nannan wondered.
"The college gave me a secret mission alone, and I was going to leave in the afternoon, so I couldn't participate in this school competition. ”
"Secret mission? Usually, if there is any special task, shouldn't it all be the seven of us together, why would Bai Yi be allowed to act alone this time. Gu Jia wondered.
"Gu Jia, Bai Yi is already much stronger than us, and the academy let Bai Yi perform the task alone, perhaps considering that it would be more convenient for him to be alone. Shen Yue said.
Thinking that the six of them teamed up but lost to Bai Yi before, this reason is reasonable.
However, this was not the case, Bai Yi originally planned to find a reason to leave the academy after the school competition ended. But the Blood Soul Destiny suddenly asked him to go to the extreme north of the continent as soon as possible, so Bai Yi could only ask Xi Tianwei to help him find a reason to leave first.
"When are you coming back? Su Yun said worriedly.
"Maybe soon, maybe it will be a long time, and at the latest it should be back before the Xuandao Competition. Rest assured, I'll be fine. Bai Yi replied softly.
"What! so long. The crowd was amazed.
They all thought that Bai Yi's "mission" this time should not last more than a month, but they didn't expect that it might take half a year.
Mu Nannan looked at Bai Yi with a little worry, and suddenly said seriously.
"Bai Yi, you have to promise me that you can't do anything dangerous, come back as soon as you complete the task, understand. ”
"I know, Miss Nan Nan said so, how dare I mess around. Bai Yi spread his hands helplessly and said.
"Hmph, who knows if you'll be obedient. ”
“.....”
Su Yun didn't speak again, but her expression was extremely worried. Thinking of the scene with Bai Yi in the Tongchuan Mountains before, I felt inexplicably uneasy.
........................
Leaving the garden, Bai Yi lay lazily under a banyan tree. Enjoy the afternoon clean.
Su Yun quietly approached, sat beside him, and quietly looked at Bai Yi with a slight smile.
Neither of them spoke, just enjoying the time they had alone with each other.
The scorching sun gradually set in the west, and Bai Yi slowly opened his eyes, ready to get up.
"Are you leaving?"
"Hmm. ”
Su Yun gently sorted out Bai Yi's slightly messy shirt, hugged Bai Yi very gently, and put her head on his chest. Said softly.
"Wait for you to come back. ”
There are no other words, just four simple words. But it is full of all the warmth and worries in a girl's heart.
"Hmm"
There was still only one word back, but it was his assurance to her.
Having experienced life and death, separation or reunion together, it doesn't take too many words to set it off.
Gradually letting go of Bai Yi, Su Yun looked at his face softly. closed his eyes slightly, gently put his pink lips between his lips, and the next moment, he ran away in a panic with his red face.
Bai Yi unconsciously touched the lips kissed by Su Yun, watching her run away in a panic, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Shaking his head, Bai Yi stepped onto the spaceship and flew towards North China.
........................
North China Gumeng
"Whew~ Let's start here. ”
Looking at the vast area of Gumeng below, Bai Yi said silently.
Bai Yi's ultimate target location is the extreme north of the continent, the Canglan Continent. However, the spaceship has flight restrictions, and if each continent wants to travel to other continents, it must take a dedicated passenger ship to get there.
And Bai Yi was not in a hurry to go to the Canglan Continent immediately, because this was his starting point.
Bai Yi parked the spaceship at the site and walked towards the center of Gumeng.
This trip began in Gumeng.
Although Gumeng is large, there are not many shops, and the flow of people is relatively sparse. However, the mountains here are rich in resources, attracting many mercenary groups and bounty hunters.
And Bai Yi plans to break through to the ground brake here.
Arriving at an inn to prepare enough supplies, Bai Yi learned that the most dangerous situation in Gumeng was a mountain range called Huanggu. Packing up, Bai Yi resolutely headed towards the Huanggu Mountain Range.
The Araku Mountains, the closest to where meteorite rains once fell. Therefore, the spirit beasts here are also the first to possess spiritual consciousness in the Yanhuang Continent, and their cultivation is the strongest.
This is the land of spirit beasts, and countless treasures are buried in it. At the same time, it attracted countless gold diggers to explore, but they only dared to wander the edge of the Ancient Mountains and did not dare to go deeper.
Because it is rumored that in the depths of the mountain range, there are spirit beasts that are no less powerful than those in the Earth Scar Realm. Some of the daring gold diggers did not believe these rumors and insisted on going deep into the mountains, but they never came out again. Therefore, no one dares to go deep into it, after all, no matter how important money is, you must have a life to enjoy.
Walking alone on the edge of the mountain range, passing the surrounding groups of mercenaries who are forming a group and planning to enter the mountain range. Bai Yi was about to enter the Ancient Mountain Range, but was stopped by a sudden voice.
"Little brother, are you planning to enter the Ancient Mountains? ”
Bai Yi looked at the middle-aged man who suddenly stopped him, the middle-aged man was dressed in a simple beast robe, with an eye bag on his left eye, full of mercenary group boss style.
"Hmm? Bai Yi replied.
"Ha, it's your first time in the Aragu Mountains. That's the case, the spirit beasts of the Ancient Mountains are rampant, and there are many dangers, if one person moves forward, he will inevitably encounter some difficulties. I am the leader of the Barbarian Mountain Mercenary Regiment, Manzheng, and I am planning to take the team into the mountain range to explore treasures. I see that the little brother is very strong, and I want to invite the little brother to go with me, but I don't know what the little brother wants. Manzheng said with a sincere expression.
After coming to the Ancient Mountain Range, Bai Yi controlled his Yuan Force at the third level of the True Xuan Realm and deliberately released it. Therefore, when this barbarian found out that Bai Yi was only one person and planned to enter the mountain range, he planned to invite Bai Yi to go with their mercenary group. After all, the strongest in this mercenary group is only the seventh level of the True Xuan, and if he can pull another True Xuan third-level to go with him, the receipt will naturally be a lot bigger.
Seeing that Bai Yi was thinking, he said politely.
"Little brother, don't worry, our mercenary group plans to enter the mountain range this time to pick lark fruit. If you find any other treasures, they will naturally be distributed reasonably, and they will definitely not treat the little brother badly. And if the little brother gets it himself, we won't ask you for it. Just take care of each other on the road, so that there will be more gains. ”
Seeing Manzheng, he said very politely. Bai Yi did not shirk.
"Okay, I just went into the mountain range to experience the experience, I don't know much about this place, and it's good to have a care. ”
"That's great, little brother, come with me, our mercenary group has twenty people, and we will enter the mountain range immediately. With a master like Little Brother here, our mercenary group will definitely gain a lot more this time. ”
"Big brother is polite. ”
Entering the mountain range, groups of people and horses walked quietly in the silent forest, and a pair of eyes vigilantly observed the dynamics around them. Each held the weapon in his hand and guarded against the surprise attack of the spirit beast that might appear at any time.
"Little brother, this is the first time you have come to the Wild Ancient Mountains, you had better be very vigilant. Not only the dangers that may arise at any time in the mountains, but also beware of anyone around you, because it is not necessarily the only beasts that will attack you. Manzheng reminded.
"Including you?" Bai Yi laughed back.
Looking at Bai Yi and asked naturally, he was a little surprised. Then he praised.
"Well said, here, it's better not to believe anyone. But I have my purpose, and until then, little brother, although rest assured that we and little brother are companions. ”
Bai Yi didn't speak, but secretly observed everyone around him. Because of what happened when he was a child, Bai Yi has always been vigilant about everyone around him since he was a child, and he knows who is good and who is bad. The brutality in front of him, at least for the time being, did not make him feel that there was any intention against him.
"Yo, isn't this the Barbarian Mountain Mercenary Group, Qiao. ”
A slightly sarcastic voice sounded around him at an inopportune time. The person who came was a handsome-looking young man who didn't look much older than Bai Yi.
"The head of the regiment is a member of the White Wolf Mercenary Group. A middle-aged man beside Manshan said with a gloomy face. It is not difficult to see that he is very disgusted with this mercenary group called the White Wolf.
"Leave them alone, let's just go find what we want. Manzheng said lightly.
Bai Yi could see from Manzheng's gradually frowning brows and the unnatural performance of their mercenary group. This mercenary group called the White Wolf should have some grievances with their Barbarian Mountain Mercenary Group.
Seeing that the Manshan mercenary group did not pay attention, the young man slowly walked over and said.
"Captain Manzheng, I haven't seen you for a long time, today~ are you planning to work in vain again?"
"Hahahaha. A few sneers rang out behind the young man.
"Youth Leader, how is the harvest of our mercenary group, you don't need to worry about it, the Ancient Mountains are full of dangers, be careful not to fall down. Manzheng squinted and replied sarcastically.
"Oh, I don't understand this, our White Wolf Mercenary Group only does some small business, and there will be no big risks. is a very upright leader, his strength is insufficient, but he does his best to affect his partners, but in the end, it is in vain. ”
The young man sarcastically again. There was schadenfreude in his eyes.
"Hmph, don't ..... you"
A middle-aged man behind Manzheng was about to reply with an angry face, but was stopped by Manzheng.
Ignoring the young man's taunts, Man Zheng led the team inside.
The young man did not stop, and squinted at them.
"Hmph, let's see, don't capsize in the gutter again. ”
Bai Yi looked at this scene coldly and quietly followed.
When he turned his face sideways, a slight sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Interesting. ”
