32. Yellow Thorn Desert

As soon as the sky was bright, Jiang Xingmian and his party set off to leave Qianlong Town, thinking that they could not waste the teleportation fee of the two spirit stones when they finally came to the Central Plains Continent, so Jiang Xingmian proposed to go to other "popular adventure spots" to take a look.

Wen Chuyan didn't say anything, only nodded coldly.

Old smoker Xue Hongyan was secretly poking and poking to light the first cigarette of the day, and when she heard Jiang Xingmian's proposal, she decisively snuffed out the cigarette butt.

With the dark orange eyeshadow on her eyes, she asked lazily, "Where do you want to go?"

Jiang Xingmian flipped out the map of the Central Plains Continent and said with great interest: "Six hundred kilometers to the left, there is a Gobi Desert, which is said to have mutated sea buckthorn fruits growing in it, this thing is not available in the Zhongzhou Continent, should we go and see it?"

Xue Hongyan thought for a moment and said, "Okay."

Riding the paper crane all the way, they arrived at the Yellow Thorn Gobi Desert in the afternoon.

From afar, patches of sea buckthorn fruit trees come into view, and it looks shocking.

Smelling the sweet and sour fruity aroma in the air, Jiang Xingmian involuntarily secreted a large amount of saliva in his mouth.

During the day, the mutant sea buckthorn fruit has a particularly strong desire to attack, and when it senses the approach of the enemy, it will quickly grow a large number of spikes to defend itself, and if it is accidentally pierced, there is a risk of poisoning.

Of course, it doesn't matter, it's the ...... The fruit of this thing will explode at every turn, and in order not to be lonely in collecting, they are going to wait for the sea buckthorn fruit to be dormant at night before picking it.

As for now?

Xue Hongyan, who was bathed in the scorching sun, stretched out comfortably, and the corner of his eye caught a glimpse of Wen Chuyan staring at his spirit beast in a daze, he was good-looking, and his motionless appearance was illuminated by the scorching sun, like a glowing god statue.

Xue Hongyan put her hand in front of his eyes and waved, and the moment Wen Chuyan raised his eyelids to look at it, he said, "The fire element is very abundant here, I'm going to review the Red Lotus Decision, do you want to consider arranging a defensive array or something?"

Wen Chuyan looked at Xue Hongyan with a flat gaze, and said unceremoniously, "No."

The refusal made Jiang Xingmian very embarrassed, afraid that Xue Hongyan would be embarrassed, she hurriedly said, "Defensive array, I will arrange it!" Sister Xue, come and help me get something." With that, she was transformed into a monkey.

But just as she was taking out her tools, Wen Chuyan, who had just said no categorically, suddenly took the cinnabar and spirit beast essence blood in her hand, and then said in Xue Hongyan's speechless expression, "I'll come."

Xue Hongyan looked at Wen Chuyan's back and whispered to Jiang Xingmian, "Although your master is quite a dog, he is really good to you, Mianmian, you tell me......

She leaned close to Jiang Xingmian's ear and said in an angry voice, "Your master, are you going to cultivate your Lori?"

Hearing Xue Hongyan mention this topic, Jiang Xingmian was a little excited, as if she was sharing her most precious thing, she did not shy away from whispering to Xue Hongyan, "No, no, no, no, I am going to cultivate him."

Xue Hongyan: "???"

"No, no, you actually want to cultivate your master?" Xue Hongyan was blind, and she couldn't help but put her hand on Jiang Xingmian's hairy head: "This is not heat stroke, is it?"

"Hey, I'm kidding!"

Xue Hongyan took out a lollipop and put it in her mouth, and said inarticulately, "However, your master's personality is indeed very cold and boring."

She rubbed Jiang Xingmian's head hard, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, he has contracted you as a small heater in the world, you can warm him up more, not to mention melting him into a gentle and considerate central air conditioner, you have to be like a normal person!"

She looked at Wen Chuyan's back with great disgust: "Look at his current appearance, that expressionless dead face stood in the crowd, and the children were scared away, tsk."

Jiang Xingmian shook his little head violently: "No, no, no, I'm not a little stove in the world, I'm just ......" She thought for a while: "An ordinary spirit beast with normal three views, I don't like my master to live as a good man in other people's mouths, as long as he is happy and happy."

She looked up, her gray-blue pupils clear and soft in the sunlight: "He doesn't

No matter what kind of personality it is, I will like it."

Xue Hongyan: "......"

She was sour, "Tsk, toothache."

Wen Chuyan, who was silently walking in front, involuntarily sketched a shallow smile at the corner of his lips.

·

While Wen Chuyan was arranging the formation, Jiang Xingmian changed into a chinchilla, standing on top of Xue Hongyan's head, and using the eye of heaven to check the nearby environment.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, it's shocking to see it.

She found that there were many Komodo dragons in the sea buckthorn forest, which were quietly lurking in the dark shade, and their yellow-brown skin was the same as that of gravel, and it was impossible to detect their existence without looking closely.

Around them, there are many animal bones scattered around, and because they have been eaten all over the place, it is impossible to see what kind of species they were born with.

In addition, under the hot sand dunes, there are also many sand worms with hideous mouthparts, and those sand worms are curled up motionless, probably sleeping.

Looking up again, there were many flying birds and beasts circling in the sky.

Due to the serious pollution of the Central Plains Continent, ordinary animals cannot survive at all, so most of them are mutant species.

And mutant creatures!

While they don't die at the smell of humans like demonic creatures, they are happy to eat if humans trespass into their territory.

As a result, the monitor lizard mutant lizard began to move, and the birds above their heads also quacked and screamed and let out ugly screams, seeing them frantically fanning their wings, scratching and tearing at them, Jiang Xingmian was ready to use the Blood Rose to deal with it.

Unexpectedly, Xue Hongyan was one step faster than her.

She spit out the lollipop in her mouth, and with a wave of her staff, she released a wall of fire, seeing this, Jiang Xingmian hurriedly said, "Sister Xue, be careful not to burn the sea buckthorn tree."

Xue Hongyan said confidently, "Don't worry, my fire control ability is strong!"

Jiang Xingmian stared at her operation, and after discovering that she was indeed very careful, he changed into a monkey again, and pulled out the Longyuan Sword hanging from Wen Chuyan's waist, and turned to deal with the giant lizard.

Wen Chuyan quickly set up the formation, and instructed without raising his head, "Don't hurt your hands."

"Okay!"

The monkey wielded his sword...... Of course, there is.

Although Jiang Xingmian didn't like melee weapons, as a world-class player, she was an all-rounder, and she didn't have to bother at all, and those lizards that fiercely pounced on her turned into countless neat pieces of meat.

The superb knife work made Xue Hongyan, who was dealing with the birds, couldn't help but turn her head and give a thumbs up: "Sleep, cow batch!" I finally know why Dean Bai took you as an apprentice."

Before she and Jiang Xingmian went to the mountain behind Lingqi Temple to catch specimens, she had seen her use a slingshot to catch birds and small animals, and her amazing hand speed and prediction had deeply impressed her, but she didn't expect her to be so good at playing with a sword.

Jiang Xingmian didn't like to be distracted by talking during the battle, so he reminded Xue Hongyan: "Sister Xue, there are insects under the dunes, you pay attention, if they come out, you will set them on fire."

"OK, leave it to me."

This is the benefit of having a mage in the team, although Jiang Xingmian can also use the Blood Rose to release flames to burn the enemy, but the spiritual fire! It's expensive to cultivate, that thing...... Eat spirit stones.

A stingy ghost like her is quite distressed every time she uses Blood Rose.

·

After a vigorous operation, the mutated creatures near the sea buckthorn forest that tried to attack them were cleaned up.

Looking at the blood-stained Long Yuan Sword, Jiang Xingmian took out a wet towel from the space ring and carefully began to wipe it.

I didn't expect to wake up suddenly at this time of day and night.

So, the wet wipes in her hand were in his mouth, and the scene looked very embarrassing.

The air freezes for a few seconds.

Day and night's face turned from blue to white and then to black, he spit out wet wipes, gritted his teeth and shouted angrily, "Stinky fox! What do you feed me? I'm going to kill you!"

Jiang Xingmian

But she was not afraid of him at all, she used her two paws together, pinched the little tender face of the day and night Q bomb, and calmly commented: "Tsk, the voice is so loud, it seems that she has slept enough."

Day and night, Xiao Zhengtai shouted inarticulately: "You are looking for!"

Jiang Xingmian smiled and said, "No, I don't look for, how dirty is, I'm looking for you!" She pointed to the corpses all over the ground and said, "Look how incompetent you are."

"Just now we were surrounded by strange beasts, fighting here for life and death, but you hid in the scabbard and slept lazy, if it weren't for me and Sister Xue to turn the tide, maybe Wen Chuyan would have been dragged away by the mutant beasts." He also spoke skillfully: "Tell me, what's the use of asking you to be such a lazy sword spirit?"

Day & Night: "......"

I don't know what's going on, I seem to be a little weak-hearted. He pouted aggrievedly, but he didn't want to sleep, he just felt very sleepy.

Looking at Jiang Xingmian, who was talking nonsense in a serious way, Xue Hongyan wanted to laugh a little, and she couldn't help but say to Wen Chuyan, who had already finished arranging the formation, "What kind of contract sleep did you go to? She's so smart, so clever and funny, and I really like her!"

Wen Chuyan silently looked at Jiang Xingmian, who was brainwashing day and night. The appearance of the monkey, compared to other furry animals, should be obscene and shrewd.

However, the monkey that changed the form of the little fox had a pair of big round and clear gray-blue eyes.

Those eyes, as if all the good things in the world, are enveloped in them, clear and smart,

Wen Chuyan's inky pupils swelled with imperceptible softness, and in Xue Hongyan's stunned gaze, he whispered, "Inherited."

Xue Hongyan: "What???"

Wen Chuyan looked at her indifferently, his eyes changed so quickly that Xue Hongyan couldn't help but suspect that she had just ...... Is there an auditory hallucination?

Ha!

Sure enough, it is a contractual relationship, and the two of them love to say incomprehensible and strange things.

·

As the magnificent sunset slowly fades into the sky, the temperature of the sea buckthorn forest plummets.

The visible frost covered the endless yellow sand, and under the invasion of cold air, the sea buckthorn tree put away its sharp stingers, closed the sharp blades, and the strings of crystal clear sea buckthorn fruits were quickly frozen into strips of ice.

There was a sound of rustling around, and a lot of green eyes lit up, as if there were countless reptiles coming to eat in groups.

The frantic wind blew Xue Hongyan to the ground, she supported her body with her staff, and couldn't help but say, "It's too dark, I don't want to waste my aura, why don't you turn on a light?"

Jiang Xingmian stared at the strange-shaped species in the night, and shook his head: "Don't, the xenomorphs in the desert are all haunted at night, and it will be very troublesome for us to deal with them, just clear out a safe area."

As she spoke, she took out a packet of insect repellent powder from the spatial ring and sprinkled it near the sea buckthorn tree.

This insect repellent powder is a treasure in Qin Shishu's space ring, and the effect is very remarkable, and after a pack, the poisons that are about to move quickly disperse.

In Xue Hongyan's stunned gaze, Jiang Xingmian took out a few baskets from the space ring and handed them out: "The sea buckthorn fruit will freeze hard at night, let's just wear protective gloves and stroke it with our hands, be careful not to be bitten by poisonous snakes!"

Xue Hongyan rolled her eyes: "Am I that stupid?"

Jiang Xingmian smiled and said, "I'll just remind you!"

"Hey, who's going to care about you?" Xue Hongyan muttered.

·

After the happy picking, it was already three or four o'clock in the evening.

Jiang Xingmian, who had harvested several baskets, was very satisfied when he ate the sweet and sour sea buckthorn fruit: "Well, this sea buckthorn fruit not only has a faint aura, but also contains a small amount of fire element, which is super delicious!"

"You taste it." In Xue Hongyan's stunned expression, she naturally stuffed a large handful into Wen Chuyan's mouth.

Xue Hongyan thought that Wen Chuyan would have a black face, but who knows, he actually opened his mouth honestly and swallowed it in one bite, and then nodded and commented when Jiang Xingmian asked expectantly if it was delicious: "It's delicious."

Xue Hongyan couldn't help but take a deep breath.

She finally understood what the little fox meant by raising Wen Chuyan.

She is indeed "cultivating" Wen Chuyan!

It is common for a summoner to raise a contract beast, and a contract beast to raise a summoner...... To be honest, it's really only seen in my life!

Tut!

It's amazing!

·

Finally, before the start of school, I rushed to the Central Continent.

Different from the cold and bleak when leaving, Jiangli City has entered early spring at this time, and the vegetation on both sides of the road has drawn green buds, exuding vitality in the spring breeze.

Stretching his gaze further, the streets were filled with groups of awakened people hurriedly carrying weapons and tools, heading to the city gate to register for the city.

After a winter of cats at home, and now that everyone is too poor to open the pot, it's time to go out of the city to find prey to earn supplies. z.br>

In addition, you can also see many ordinary people wearing heavy protective clothing, holding tools, diligently cleaning up mud and dirt on the streets.

Xue Hongyan took a deep breath of moist air and sighed, "It's still comfortable in Jiangli City, and the gunpowder-smelling air in Wushuang City feels spicy when you breathe it into your mouth."

"Of course, the polluted area of Zhongzhou is much better than that of the Central Plains!"

"It's all to blame on that nighttaki!" Xue Hongyan scolded for the first time.

Jiang Xingmian reflexively glanced at the day and night who was unaware and was still curiously looking around. Tsk, fortunately, Xue Hongyan didn't know his true identity, otherwise...... It is estimated that the heart that strangled him was there.

I casually found a small shop to have some breakfast, and when passing by the base government, Jiang Xingmian exchanged the three million hot cash in the space ring into spirit stones by the way.

She didn't feel distressed and handed over all the three hundred low-level spirit stones to Wen Chuyan.

was afraid that he wouldn't accept it, and he also explained: "I'm not afraid of the demonization virus, I don't need the spirit stone, I'll use it for you."

Wen Chuyan looked at the shiny pile of spirit stones in front of him with a daze. Under the long eyelashes like a crow's feather, there is a pair of bottomless deep pools, which used to be calm and unwavering, without desire, but now it is surging with complex and fiery undercurrents.

Jiang Xingmian likes money very much.

However, she exchanged all the money she liked for spirit stones and gave it to him.

"Hey, Wen Chuyan, what are you doing in a daze?" Xue Hongya, who was waiting to return to school, waved her hand in front of Wen Chuyan's eyes very beautifully. She didn't think there was anything wrong with Jiang Xingmian giving all the spirit stones to Wen Chuyan, after all, ...... Contract beasts have never had private property. Their stuff is the summoner's stuff.

Wen Chuyan raised his eyes, and the emotions in his eyes had been hidden.

He silently put the spirit stone on the counter into the space ring, and then in Jiang Xingmian's puzzled gaze, he said, "Let's go back to school."
