The next day, Xiao Cong woke up on time, finished his morning class at the top of the old tree, beat a hare and ate it, and used the magic circle to repeat the old technique of "painting skin", transferring the breath remaining on the rabbit's skin to himself, and then put away the hidden shadow and "painted skin" in front of the tree hole, and went to the depths of the forest.

Because it's very comfortable here, I'm really a little reluctant to leave, but this forest is missing a thief immortal, and it must be unpeaceful for a while now, maybe an accidental "coincidence" can lead the spearhead to himself, and it just so happens that there is a "life-saving benefactor" who is stronger than the thief on the root of the rotten tree can't hide, and he doesn't want to challenge it again this time, so he left it to save himself again, and made the scapegoat for this headless unjust case.

He continued to walk in with great trepidation, although it was in the direction of being far away from the nest of thieves, but every time he walked to a more humid place, when he smelled a strange smell, he still felt scared, and felt that a few thieves would jump out of the dense forest at any time, and they would tear him to pieces. He walked on and on with anxiety, until he was a little tired from walking, and then he stopped, and sat down under an old tree that was about to die, and he thought,

"Anyway, this tree is dead, and all I need is a temporary shelter, so it's for tonight, hey, dead old tree, the hole dug out of the tree should be much drier than before. ”

After sitting like this for a while, Xiao Cong got up and began to prepare for all kinds of matters for his new residence, digging the tree hole, and laying a hidden shadow hiding array outside the tree hole, and a magic circle "painting skin" in the tree hole.

The bark of the dead tree is hard, the wood is like iron, and it is pierced up with Zhu Xian, and all that comes down is broken wood chips, a four-foot square tree hole, but it took him a lot of effort, but the result is also worthy of expectations, this dead tree hole is really much drier than those tree holes before.

After finishing the work, it is noon, the sun hangs high above the sky, but it does not feel the heat, even the bright and obscure changes of the light are not much obvious, the forest here is obviously denser than before, the thinnest tree is estimated to be seven people hugging the thick, thick leaves cover the sun, the ancient trees are towering, if it is not for the fierce competition for nutrients, it is estimated that the old tree will not die here, but when I think about it, I feel wrong,

"This old tree grows so thick, it must be that it forced other trees to die, is it sacrificing itself? No, probably because it has lived too long to grab it. ”

Reproduction and regeneration, that is something that God should worry about, in the end, the eight poles can't reach him, so he doesn't think about it anymore, and calmly burrows into the tree hole, ready to rest for a while.

But sitting and sitting, he felt more and more that something was wrong, a strange feeling appeared in his heart from time to time, indescribable, but he didn't feel dangerous in the feeling, just a little strange, he frowned, and thought about it for a long time without any clue.

"I guess I'm thinking too much. He muttered to himself.

According to the general rule, the deeper you go into the Sunset Mountains, the more possible

The higher the path of the ancient beasts encountered, the thief immortal in the forest before was considered a local prince, so the path of the ancient beast encountered in this forest may be higher than that of the thief immortal, or it may not be as good as the thief immortal, because he still does not understand the situation of this forest, so now Xiao Cong does not dare to act rashly here, knowing that he knows that the other side will not be defeated, he plans to explore the surroundings in the afternoon, and then decide to challenge the matter of the ancient beast tomorrow.

So, after eating a little, he poked his head out of the hollow of the tree, looked around to make sure there was no danger, and walked cautiously to the north of the cat.

There was silence along the way, this forest was obviously much quieter than before, although the ancient beasts with relatively high Dao lines were also relatively low-key, but there should always be insects and the like, but there was not even a little insect feces here, which made him quite puzzled, and he couldn't even find a trace of the breath of the ancient beast along the way, with the powerful spiritual sense of his array master, if it weren't for the ancient beasts crossing the river realm deliberately hiding their breath and trying to escape his search, it would be basically impossible, anyway, there could be no ancient beasts crossing the river realm near here, so the only explanation is that there are no ancient beasts near this at all, and there is no one！

But how could there not be an ancient beast here? This is too strange, such a good territory, so many resources, even if you just want to find a place to live, it is better than fighting with those powerful ancient beasts, could it be that their heads are hit by trees?

There's something weird about this place!

Curiosity and fear fly together, apprehension and excitement go hand in hand, he just continues to walk forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow, his breathing is tight and sometimes loose, he doesn't know why he is moving forward, he doesn't know why he is going back, he suddenly remembered a certain sage said, "Life is like a box of candy, you never know what the next one will taste like." Then he made up his mind and strode forward.

Something different finally appeared in front of him, and in this woods full of green and black-brown it seemed so abrupt and dazzling, he smiled slightly, stepped up a few steps to get closer, and looked at it, his face suddenly changed, and he was dumbfounded,

"It's ...... Summoning Red!"

After a while, he was able to come back to his senses in shock, and after looking left and right a few times, he turned his face, refocused his gaze on the cluster of red and purple two steps in front of him, and swallowed his saliva.

"How can this thing grow here, this is a great evil thing......! So that's ......"

He couldn't help but look at it twice, he didn't dare to stay here, and hurriedly left.

bypassed the summoning red and continued to walk forward, and after about half an hour, the vision ahead suddenly brightened, and Xiao Cong's heart became more and more strange,

"Why is the forest still so dense and coming to an end? This is definitely not the edge, there must be demons when things happen, I still don't want to go forward." ”

As soon as he turned his head, before his other foot could turn, he turned back again.

"Hey, no, it's not safe over there, although it's so far away from Summoning Hong, but the environment is about the same, I'm going in one direction, the ghost knows if there's that evil thing in other places nearby, I still don't want it."

Good to go back. ”

After some hesitation, he made up his mind and continued to walk forward.

Walking out of the dense forest, looking up, I saw that there was a hill about a hundred feet high in front of me, the layers of rock were exposed, the strange rocks were craggy, and there was no grass, and a burst of life gas came to his face, Xiao Cong sucked hard, and what spread into his nasal cavity was not only the long-lost life breath, but also his musty smell that became stronger and stronger under the scorching sun.

Wrinkled his nose and smiled slightly, and turned to climb upward, not forgetting to talk to himself while climbing,

"Broken place, so evil, the master won't go back anyway, isn't it just a hidden shadow hiding array and a painted skin, it's a big deal that the master will build another one, digging a hole here to live in is better than going back there!"

Unconsciously, I have climbed to the halfway up the mountain, there is a small and small open space, it seems that there is something in the original, and then it was removed with the earth and stones, just forming such a place similar to a mountain nest, Xiao Cong looked at it stupidly, and was overjoyed,

"Dig a hole here, just right!"

Just when he was smug, he suddenly saw something flash in front of him, Xiao Cong just hurriedly took out Zhu Xian, and then, a long figure slipped out from behind the mountain rock, he looked at it, his face changed greatly, without saying a word, he turned his head and ran away with the Zhu Xian sword in his hand.

The ancient beast that slipped out from behind the mountain rock was a worm, this guy was a distant relative of the five poisons and one tyrant lock python back then! Fighting with it, it is estimated that it will not take half an hour to be easily put to death, no matter in any way, this guy is much more terrifying than the thief immortal!

Xiao Cong complained bitterly in his heart,

"Immortal, master, why am I so unlucky today, not to mention the summoning red, but also the Tongyin of the Winged Realm, bad luck, really bad luck!"

He ran to the edge of the cliff and jumped down, thinking that he could escape smoothly with the help of the Star Picking Wing, but what Cheng thought that the speed of this Soul Worm was so fast, he opened his mouth in the air and shot a string of venom onto Xiao Cong's robe, he thought that his auspicious Tianxiang had successfully escaped, so he urged his true qi to fly forward desperately, but what he didn't know was that the hot venom burned his robe and quickly seeped into the skin, he suddenly felt a burning pain in his back, and his brain was blank for a moment, thinking,

"It's over!"

He is the pride of heaven who came out of Tiandaoxuan, and he is naturally very clear about the venom characteristics of the Tongyin Worm, and it is precisely because he is the pride of heaven who came out of Tiandaoxuan that he feels extremely sad.

"I should still have some time, I can't give up!"

This is the Xiao family who does not accept their fate, and until the last moment, they categorically cannot admit defeat!

He continued to do his best to urge the true qi, and at the same time desperately ran the "Heavenly Dao Treasure Book", in order to hope that the meridian barrier formed by the operation of the exercises could temporarily block the spread of the toxin of the Tongyin Worm, but the effect was very little and backfired, he gradually felt exhausted, and drowsy, he felt a slight warmth under his nose and cheeks, he knew that it was blood, but slowly he couldn't even feel this slightly hot feeling, vaguely felt that his whole body began to be numb, his consciousness became more and more unclear, he opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood,

and plummeted downward.

The falling body smashed the blocking of the branches and leaves, and then fell heavily to the ground, this fall brought a brief lucidity, and he took out a few bottles of unknown elixir from Mi Kei with this short lucidity, and with difficulty uncorked and swallowed it, the spreading numbness subsided a little, and his consciousness also cleared up a little, he stood up, opened his blood-soaked eyes, identified the direction in a curtain of blood, and staggered all the way back to the tree hole.
