The only package around the campfire was the carriage behind the king's tomb, which was blown off the cliff and scattered on the dead branches by the deep pool. It turned out to be just a set of clothes for the young "son".

"Ugh." Wang Ling let out a long sigh and looked at the clouds above his head from time to time, his heart was full of anxiety, "What if that sword cultivator chases after him?"

Although it was safe for a while in the past, it didn't mean that the sword cultivator wouldn't chase him down. To the east is a cliff, and the tomb of the king follows the valley topography and looks westward, the morning light is sprinkled on the ground, and there is no end to the desolate scenery at a glance.

In less than an hour, Wang Ling roasted more than a dozen fish, and picked many ripe wild fruits in the surrounding mountains and forests as food for his life.

Afterwards, Wang Ling carried the young "Gongzi" along the valley all the way to the west. He is not the kind of person who does not repay his kindness, the young "Childe" and his party saved him, and he will naturally not give up on the other party at this moment.

Along the low-lying meadows of the valley, Wang Ling walked for two days with the young "son" on his back. During this time, he had to use wild juice and fresh water to satisfy the young "son", and finally came to his senses in the early morning of the third day.

At this time, the clothes on the two of them had been scratched by the dead branches and thorns along the way.

"Where is this?" The young "childe" struggled to get up from the gray-yellow brocade cloak. Her pale yellow brocade cloak was already covered with dust, and there were several cuts that had been cut by dead branches.

"You're finally awake?" Wang Ling looked delighted, and hurriedly took down a roasted river fish from the bonfire stand.

Since he hadn't eaten for a long time, and had just relied on wild fruits to hang himself, the young "childe" swallowed his saliva at the moment smelling the smell of fish. "Thank you", the young "childe" took the grilled fish handed over by Wang Ling with both hands, and ate it without the slightest scruples.

"I don't know where this is." Wang Ling handed the water bladder to the young "Childe" and continued, "Since that day, we have been heading west since we fell off the cliff. I don't know exactly how long it has been, but there are barren mountains all around."

The young "Childe" took the water bladder and took several large sips, "In other words, we are lost?"

Wang Ling nodded helplessly, and asked with a worried expression, "Will that sword cultivator chase after you?"

"Sword cultivation?" The young "childe" opened his eyes with a hint of surprise, and looked at Wang Ling with an innocent face.

"You don't know?" Wang Ling's face was stunned, recalling the horror of the sword and the horror when he fell off the cliff, staring at the harmless young "son" in front of him, at this time "he" was still stuffed with fish meat in his mouth, and his face showed simple surprise.

It seems that I have not experienced that massacre.

"You can't remember?" Wang Ling looked incredulous and asked.

The young "childe" swallowed the last bite of the fish, took another long sip of water, and nodded seriously.

"Sure?" Wang Ling lay on the grass, put his hands on the back of his neck, and asked again with a stunned expression. "It can't be the same as me, right? What can I do?"

The young "childe" said "um", he turned his head and looked at the dark starry sky, a faint trace of melancholy flashed in the corner of his eye.

"Well, it looks like we're both degenerate." Wang Ling shook his head helplessly and slowly closed his eyes. "There's a river about three hundred paces south of here, and you can go there if you want to wash."

After a long time, Wang Ling's snoring sounded from the campfire, and the young "son" wrapped himself in a shabby brocade robe, picked up the package not far away, and slowly walked to the river.

Although Wang Ling has been traveling westward, after the hellish escape journey of mountains, rivers and forests, he has developed the ability to recognize shallow pools and streams.

The young "Childe" came to the river, and behind a boulder, he took off his brocade clothes and walked slowly into the shallow water.

The night was quiet and windy, and all that could be heard was the sound of the river flowing, with the occasional sound of dead branches burning in a campfire.

About a quarter of an hour later, the young "childe" came to the campfire, dressed in the only new clothes left in the package. He tilted his head sideways, his long wet hair casually tied not far from his chest.

The warm colors of the campfire reflected his countenance

Extraordinarily pink, the water droplets at the ends of the long hair slowly evaporate under the scorching heat of the campfire.

The night is getting darker and deeper, and the mountain wind whistling through the hills in the distance chases the dead branches in the mountainside.

The young "childe" looked at Wang Ling on the other side of the bonfire, and a trace of puzzlement surged in his heart, the sword demon's fatal sword, mixed with strong sword qi, made his body protection golden dragon phantom unable to resist, how did this kid survive.

Although the sword cultivator was also a great monk, there was also a great monk in the accompanying team, and it was too coincidental that the sword light was so coincidentally split on his frame.

The figures of the "third brother, the second brother, and the fifth brother" flashed through the young "son's" mind one after another, and he really couldn't think of anyone who would harm him.

Going out to find a "way out", not only her, but also the rest of the princes also got the corresponding tasks, but they had no reason to harm themselves, could it be this kid. The young "childe" glanced at the sleeping tomb by the campfire.

"No way, he's just one of the people I saved casually." The young "childe" gently rubbed his brain with his right hand, and he didn't have a clue at all.

Then he turned to his tattered brocade cloak and lay down by the campfire, his eyes slightly closed, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, revealing a strange smile.

I slept comfortably, and the campfire had just been extinguished.

Wang Ling patted his wrinkled robe, grabbed two delicious fatty fish from the river, re-lit the bonfire, and roasted slowly.

Smelling the scent of fish, the young "childe" rubbed his eyes, yawned, and said softly, "You're up?"

"Come down, where are we going? Continue to find the monks of the Chu State and the Yun Kingdom?" Wang Ling's right hand rolled over the thick branch inserted in the belly of the fish, and said casually, "You know the way."

"Chu State, Yun Kingdom?" The young "childe" subconsciously nodded, and hurriedly shook his head, "I'm not sure. Think again."

Wang Ling glanced up, and the young "Gongzi" who sat up looked down at the baking fire again, "Before, your team saved my life, and at that time, you said that you were going to find the monks of Chu and Yun. Since you saved my life, I will help you."

"Really?" The young "childe" got up a few steps forward and came to Wang Ling, staring at each other, as if he wanted to see through the whole person.

Wang Ling nodded, "Although I can't remember the previous events, I can still tell the good from the bad."

As he spoke, Wang Ling picked up another fish and placed it on the bonfire.

"Aren't you worried, I have an enemy to hunt down?" The young "son" did not see any complicated look in Wang Ling's eyes, but simply promised to reciprocate.

"You go wash up first, eat the fish, and we'll go." Wang Ling pointed in the direction of the river with his chin.

"Okay." The young boy nodded lightly, then walked briskly to the river.

Soon, the young "childe" shook off the water droplets on his slender jade onion fingers, came to the bonfire, and quietly watched the young man in front of him. "Do you remember where you came from?"

Wang Ling shook his head, concentrating on grilling his fish.

"Why is it in Qinghe?" The young "Childe" tries to pretend to be amnesia, looking for problems from the information that Wang Ling has revealed to him.

Wang Ling still shook his head, still intently rolling the thick branches on the stand.

"What's next for you?" The young "Childe" took the grilled fish handed over by Wang Ling with his right hand and asked softly.

Wang Ling still shook his head, he looked at the fish in the hand of the young "childe" in silence, and said in a low voice, "Be careful of burning." Then he turned and walked away, carrying the water bladder to the river.

After using the grilled fish, the two continued westward along the valley meadows, looking for a ravine to get out of.

During this period, the two of them walked through more than ten mountain passes, and even tried to climb over the mountains and snow, but still did not find a correct path.

The cool breeze on the high part of the mountain made the two of them shiver, so they had to turn back to the mountainside, and the valley bottom occasionally encountered strange beasts, but fortunately, Wang Ling had the talent to escape, and the two were able to escape when they were close to danger.

Even them

The edible river fish is actually a strange beast, but its strength is weak, and it can't resist Wang Ling, a great monk with amnesia, at all.

Deep in the barren mountains, in an unknown mountain col, Wang Ling and Xu "Gongzi" limped on the grass, the two of them had been walking through the mountains for an unknown amount of time, and they had completely lost their way.

After a period of small talk, the young "childe" only "remembered" that his surname seemed to be Xu.

Therefore, Wang Ling didn't think much about it, and just called the young "Gongzi" Xu "Gongzi".

Looking at the four fields, tonight is yellow.

The two people, one high and one low, walked slowly to the west with crutches made of tree branches.

"Are you sure you can walk through here?" Wang Ling glanced at Xu "Gongzi" beside him with some disappointment.

Xu "Gongzi" smiled bitterly, this was the fourth time Wang Ling had asked her, after all, they had already found three mountain passes, all of which were dead ends, and this one in front of them was the fourth mountain pass.

After walking for a long time due to the cool breeze, the two had to find a place to rest on the side of the col near the forest.

The bonfire was lit, and in addition to the fish in the pond, Wang Ling also deliberately went to the periphery of the mountains and forests to find some ripe wild fruits, which became a dinner for the two.

I don't know when, a finger of strong wind flicked on the back of his neck, and Wang Ling fell asleep directly.

Xu "Gongzi" slowly got up from the campfire, glanced at the Wang Ling beside him, and said in a low voice, "You are also here to kill me?"

There were footsteps in the distance, and a rickety figure walked out of the night, dressed in a black robe and holding a wooden staff in his hand. "Your Highness the Ninth can rest assured, the old slave has been serving His Majesty the Emperor, how can he act like this."

Xu "Childe" let out a long breath and let go of his tense nerves, but he still gathered together the only trace of dragon qi left in his physical strength. Ever since two days ago, she had noticed that someone was following the two of them, but she had been hiding it deeply.

"Uncle Liu, is there a harvest?"

The black-robed old man walked slowly to the bonfire, and looked at the royal tomb lying on the ground with empty eyes, as if he wanted to see through his whole person.

After a moment of silence, the black-robed old man shook his head and sighed lightly, "The wilderness west is a cliff, and it is impossible to read it at all. But—" The black-robed old man looked down the valley toward the west, a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

He could sense that there was a terrifying aura in the west, and he didn't know if it was a Terran monk or a terrifying beast.

"But what?" Xu "Childe" heard a hint of uneasiness, and his right hand clenched into a fist.

The black-robed old man shook his head and explained, "I hope my conjecture isn't true, I always feel that the farther you go, the more dangerous it becomes."

Xu "Gongzi" glanced at Wang Ling, who was lying by the bonfire, and continued to ask, "Uncle Liu, what do you think?"

"The old slave thought that His Highness should return immediately, but now it is too dangerous to be outside." The black-robed old man said quietly.

Xu "Gongzi" originally came to find a "way out" as an embroidered guard, after all, this was the order of the old sacrificial wine to all the monks in the Yue Kingdom. All the families in the Yue Kingdom will not refuse, and they have sent their sons and daughters, and their royal clan is no exception.

Now he was suddenly attacked, and I don't know who he was called. Even the embroidered guards are unreliable.

"Uncle Liu, do you think so too?" Xu "Childe" frowned slightly.

Xu "Gongzi" didn't say anything, she got up directly and walked to the stream not far away, and the old man in black robe followed behind her. The sound of the water crashing in the pool came from the waterfall of the mountain stream in the distance, and the stream gurgled at the feet.

"Uncle Liu, what would you do if my brothers were the real murderers?" After being silent for a long time, Xu "Childe" plucked up the courage to speak.

"Your Highnesses?" The black-robed old man was dumbfounded.

There was a moment of silence before the black-robed old man spoke again, "Your Highness the Nine, your safety is the most important thing."

Xu "Gongzi" looked at the mountains hidden in the night in the distance, and said lightly, "The other party's target is me, since I have infiltrated the embroidered clothes guard and used the peak great cultivator, I believe they should still have a backhand."

The black-robed old man suddenly realized that he had been hiding beside His Majesty the Emperor of Yue, and he was only loyal to the emperor. At this moment, His Royal Highness Jingjiu woke up, and his heart was already clear

A little whiter.

His Royal Highness the Nine is to hang out the people behind the scenes through himself, although the sword demon missed, if the princes are the people behind the scenes, they will definitely not give up the excellent opportunity for His Royal Highness Nine to be alone this time.

Regarding the existence of the black-robed old man, only His Majesty the Emperor of Yue Kingdom knew.

Because the black-robed old man did not attack him, then this assassination operation was not the instruction of His Majesty the Emperor of Yue. At this moment, she has begun to brew a plan in her heart, to have a heart or not.

"Uncle Liu, you hide in the shadows first, and I want to play with them." Xu "Childe" smiled, and his heart was even happier at the moment, as if the whole thing was completely alive, although he had lost a lot of dragon qi, his body was still very weak.

The black-robed old man frowned, "Then what should he do?"

The black-robed old man naturally referred to the sleeping Wang Ling, this person was unknown, and he kept saying that he was from the Chu State, but he couldn't tell where the monks of the Chu State were in the underground palace of the Snow Fog Mountain Range now.

"I'm following him for the time being, hoping to find a camp to go to the monks of the Chu Kingdom." Xu "Childe" replied.

The black-robed man frowned even deeper, but he didn't raise any objections, after all, he was the attendant of His Majesty the Emperor of the Yue Kingdom, and this trip was ordered to protect His Royal Highness the Nine.

Naturally, this time it will not be taken lightly. He disappeared in the mountains and forests in the distance.

The old man's voice in the black robe came from the empty mountain forest again, "Your Highness still has to be careful about this person." Chinese Net

At this moment, Xu "Gongzi" has been hanging for a while and finally let go, the real culprit behind this assassination is not his father, and Uncle Liu is also back by his side, at least he doesn't have to worry about fatal danger.

Xu "Gongzi" slowly walked back to the campfire, looked at the tomb of the king who was sleeping peacefully, and muttered to himself, "What are you?"

Without digging too deep, Xu "Gongzi" threw dead branches into the bonfire again, and because the black-robed man was hiding in the nearby mountains and forests, she fell asleep very comfortably and slept very sweetly.

Waking up again, Wang Ling got up from the grass, patted the hay blades on his body, looked up at the surroundings, and rubbed his head again, "I actually fell asleep in a daze, fortunately nothing unexpected happened, otherwise I would have suffered."

He walked briskly to the side of the stream, washed up, caught a few more fatty river fish, set up a stand, and roasted them.

Half an hour later, Xu "Childe" was awakened by the smell of fish, opened his eyes and whispered, "Grilled fish again?"

Wang Ling nodded, and looked at the mountains in the distance again, with a worried expression, "I don't know, when will we be able to get out of this barren mountain."

"Don't worry, you can get out." Xu "Childe" replied as he walked to the edge of the stream.

"Really?" When Wang Ling heard this, although he had heard such an answer several times before, he was still very happy at this time.

After Xu "Gongzi" washed up, he went to the campfire, picked up a grilled fish, took a few bites of it, and explained, "Don't worry, it must be true this time."

Previously, she had already learned from the black-robed old man that through the mountain col in front of her, over this mountain range, there was a vast wasteland, and maybe she could find the monk camps of Chu and Yun.

After eating the grilled fish, the two hit the road again along the mountain meadows and continued westward.

The cool breeze in the valley whipped the robes and hunted.

At this moment, the green silk on Xu "Gongzi's" head was already messy, and he was holding a wooden cane in both hands, struggling to follow behind Wang Ling.

Since the fall from the cliff, Xu "Gongzi" has been walking on foot, although the movement is very slow, but he has slowly recovered his body and his physical strength has begun to increase.

Seeing that he was about to reach the end of the col, Wang Ling put his right hand on his eyes and asked, "In more than half an hour, we will be able to cross this col, if there is a road ahead."

"Don't worry, you can pass." Xu "Childe" swallowed his saliva, took out the water bladder from his waist, took another sip of water, and moved his steps with difficulty.

"Are you alright?" Wang Ling looked back at Xu "Gongzi", felt that her walking posture was a little awkward, and asked curiously.

The feet have begun to bubble, but Xu "Childe" is a must

Strong person, she endured the pain, shook her head, and said that it was okay.

Seeing this, Wang Ling didn't say much, but slowed down.

After another hour, Wang Ling wiped the hot sweat off his forehead, looked up at the white sky, and sighed helplessly, "Let's rest in place."

As he spoke, without waiting for Xu "Gongzi" to agree, he ran quickly to the south of the river.

They walked along the banks of streams and rivers all the way, and tried not to stay far from low-lying areas, so as not to encounter strange beasts in the mountains again.

Since it was a shallow stream, Wang Ling just washed up, filled the water bladder, and returned to Xu Gongzi, where the two sat on the ground in the shade of a tree.

Although he had slept very comfortably before, Wang Ling still unconsciously lay on the grass, squinting his glasses, staring at the sky in a daze.

Before he knew it, Wang Ling fell into a deep sleep again.

"Uncle Liu, give me a bottle of Pure Heart Pill." Seeing that Wang Ling had fallen asleep, Xu "Gongzi" said softly.

A moment later, a rickety figure appeared in the mountains and forests in the distance, it was the old man in black robe, he quickly came to Xu "Gongzi's" side, bowed his body, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, and gently placed it on the grass in front of Xu "Gongzi".

"Your Highness the Nine, you're like this—" The black-robed old man wanted to continue.

Xu "Childe" waved his hand and interrupted, "It's okay, it's okay to suffer some hardships, I will definitely find out the people behind the scenes."

"Your Highness, there are three waves of people who appeared near the entrance to the valley two hours ago." The black-robed old man nodded.

"Can you find something?" Xu "Childe" sneered. The corners of her mouth were slightly flushed with a hint of imperceptible coldness, she didn't expect the traitor of the embroidered guard to appear so soon, it seemed that the other party's speed was very fast.

The black-robed old man's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked back in the direction of the entrance to the valley. He regretted, "No suspicious anything has been found so far, and the traitor of the three waves of embroidered guards is extremely strange."

"Well, it seems that the power of the people behind the scenes is not simple. This is to take advantage of the old sacrificial wine's command, and the driver will eradicate me." Xu "Gongzi" swallowed the Qingxin Pill and drank a large sip of water.

In an instant, the whole person felt a lot more relaxed, and the pain in the soles of his feet began to slowly ease. Immediately, she got up and moved, and the soles of her feet were not as painful as before.

Xu "Childe" gently pressed his feet on the grass and continued, "Those brutes should have come looking for traces of our bonfire, Uncle Liu, you just need to interfere a little, just delay."

"The old slave retired first." The black-robed old man bowed and disappeared into the distance, heading straight for the few falcons that appeared at the entrance of the valley.

Outside the valley, dozens of miles away, on the bank of the dense forest stream, three monks dressed in embroidered clothes and guards are surrounding a bonfire, where only ashes remain, which is where Wang Ling and Xu "Gongzi" rested before.

The three of them looked around, looking for other traces. In a mountain forest a hundred miles away, there are also two monks dressed in embroidered clothes and guards who are carpet searching this mountain forest.

One of the tall embroidered guards said in a deep voice, "It should still be heading west, not too far. We should send the news back to the Third Highness right now."

"If the news is delivered to the Third Highness, we will have to stay where we are. I missed the great achievement of finding the Ninth Highness." A sturdy embroidered guard shook his head.

Another embroidered guard, touching the hilt of the knife at his waist, looked away from the ashes of the campfire on the ground, looked at the mountain road and grass to the west, and said lightly, "Let's continue west. The purpose of the search team is to find His Highness the Nine, and if the follow-up team sees the ashes of this bonfire, someone will also pass the news back to the Third Highness."

"Exactly, Mr. Wang is right." The sturdy embroidered guard smiled and nodded.

"What do you think, boss?" Wang Zongqi turned his head and glanced at the tall and thin embroidered guard who was already standing on the bank of the stream not far away.

These three people are Wang Changyun, the general banner, Gao Hongbao, and Ding Yangping, the captain of the embroidered guard.

As a team searching for His Highness Nine, the three monks were currently the farthest team in the distance.

Although Wang Chang is the general flag, he still listens to Gao Hongbao's opinion, because the other party is in a three-person group

Cultivated as the highest monk. In addition, there is a hundred households more than 100 miles away behind him.

If the three of them want to get the first credit, they still need to work together, and no one can have different intentions.

Gao Hongbao glanced up at the sky above his head, and leaned towards the west, followed by Wang Changyun and Ding Yangping.

After resting for about half an hour, Wang Ling woke up slowly, he got up, and just in time to see Xu "Gongzi" in front of him closing his eyes and recuperating.

"Have you slept well?" Xu "Gongzi" slowly got up, leaned on the wooden cane, and continued to walk forward on the grass, without the discomfort of pain in the soles of his feet at all.

"Hey, are you alright?" Wang Ling found that the other party did not have the discomfort of twisting his body when he walked in the morning.

Xu "Childe" nodded, "If you don't speed up your pace, we probably won't be able to reach the end of the valley before dark."

"Got it, as long as you're okay. I'm not going to hold back." Wang Ling quickened his pace and followed Xu Gongzi's side, and the two of them disappeared at the end of the meadow one after the other.

In this way, before nightfall, the two of them came to a boulder at the end of the valley, which was a man high on the water side of the pool, and the waterfall in the mountains fell below the boulder, forming a quiet deep pool.

Wang Ling placed the campfire near the meadow, and the two sat on the ground on a boulder, with hay and dead branches collected from the outskirts of the mountains and forests not far away.

There was a bonfire on one side, and the other three sides were facing the pool, and the bonfire surrounded the place where the two of them were, which was very safe compared to other places.

At this moment, a fat hare was roasting on the campfire. However, this hare is several times the size of an ordinary hare, and it is clearly a strange hare.

On the side, Wang Ling was medicating his calf, and in the afternoon, Wang Ling found a hare hidden in the dead branches, and tried his best to chase it, and finally got what he wanted, but his legs were also cut by mountain stones.

The fatty smell was accompanied by the night breeze, making both of them gurgle in their stomachs. After many days of grilled fish and wild fruits, both of them were tired of eating, and they could finally change their tastes.

"Okay, okay?" Xu Gongzi stuck out his tongue and stared at the hare dripping with oil on the bonfire, a trace of saliva appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Wang Ling walked quickly to the stream to clean up, came to the campfire, picked up the roast rabbit on the stand, looked at it carefully, and then shook his head.

I couldn't help it, Xu Gongzi stretched out his slender index finger and gently poked the hot roast rabbit, and hurriedly retracted his finger again, and the dripping oily skin of the roast rabbit burned Xu Gongzi's index finger with a hint of redness.

In desperation, Wang Ling reached out and tore off a piece of rabbit meat from the stand and put it on the cleaned leaves, and then handed it to Xu Gongzi. "Wait a minute, be careful."

After a while, when the cold stone dissipated the temperature of the rabbit meat a little, Xu Gongzi picked up the piece of rabbit meat and stuffed it directly into his mouth, looking intoxicated, revealing two shallow dimples, looking very satisfied.

Wang Ling sat by the campfire, his right hand rolling the roast meat on the stand. He asked in a low voice, "Childe, how long will it be before we can get out of this mountain range?"

Wang Ling tore off a piece of rabbit meat from the stand and put it in front of Xu Gongzi according to the previous method.

"Don't worry, we'll get out after this valley." Xu Gongzi lowered his head and rolled the rabbit meat on the leaves with his right hand, and said in a very soft voice.

Hearing Xu Gongzi's affirmative reply, Wang Ling was no longer suspicious. He tore off the cooked parts of the rabbit meat and placed them on a few washed leaves.

After Xu Gongzi was full, Wang Ling began to grab the remaining rabbit meat and start eating.

"What are you going to do in the future?" Xu Gongzi walked slowly to the bank of the pond, picked up his already somewhat worn robe, squatted on the water's edge, picked up the clear river water, and quietly stared at the river in his hand with a pair of beautiful eyes.

"Me?" Wang Ling had just swallowed a mouthful of rabbit meat and replied with a squeak, "I haven't thought about it yet. I should find a place where I can live, what about you?"

"Me?" Xu Gongzi turned his head and quietly looked at the young boy who was eating very comfortably by the bonfire, and there was a hint of cunning in his clear eyes.

"When I get out, I'm going home. After all

The team needs someone to take care of it."

"That's right, you know at a glance that you are the son of a family." Wang Ling finally cleaned up the remaining rabbit meat, stood up and stretched, looked at the silent night around, and his face was full of smiles, it was good to live.

"Are you going to keep following me?" Xu Gongzi looked at Wang Ling softly, looking extremely serious.

From Wang Ling, he could easily catch those strange beasts and use them as food, and Xu Gongzi knew that Wang Ling's cultivation was definitely not weak.

Wang Ling straightened his body and did not dare to be disrespectful. "Childe will take care of food and housing, right?"

"Hahaha... Just have food and shelter?" A glimmer of light flashed in Xu Gongzi's eyes, a little surprised, and he asked with interest, "Don't you worry, someone will continue to hunt us down?"

"Hunt?" Quite what happened to him on the way to waking up, Wang Ling was very worried in his heart, he looked at Xu Gongzi with some palpitations, but he still held back the uneasiness in his heart, and laughed, "If you don't die, there will be a blessing in the future, I believe that we will definitely turn evil into good fortune."

Xu Gongzi slowly walked to the campfire and sat on the ground, the dry grass and bitter leaves under him covering the cold air on the boulder. At this time, she bowed her head with satisfaction, "Don't worry, as long as you go out, I will definitely have something to eat, and you will definitely be indispensable." But..."

"But what?" Wang Ling's heart was cold, and he asked tentatively, "Childe, you can command anything, and I can do any coolie."

Xu Gongzi's beautiful eyes rolled and sneered, "I don't need you to live with the strength. I have a good point, we can go back to my home alive. Are you scared?"

"Don't be afraid." Wang Ling shook his head, and he got up and threw the dry grass on the side into the bonfire.

Xu Gongzi's right index finger stretched out and pointed at Wang Ling, and suddenly laughed out loud. "It's good not to be afraid, it's good not to be afraid."

At this moment, there are only the two of them in heaven and earth, and everything around them is so quiet, except for the waterfalls falling from the mountains.

According to the experience of the past period of time, Wang Ling successively added enough dry branches and hay to the bonfire, and then lay down on the side of the campfire, and said lazily, "I should be able to sleep peacefully again."

Xu Gongzi glanced sideways at the bonfire beside him, gave a thumbs up, and praised, "I'm getting more and more careful, and I'm doing better than the previous resting places."

Wang Ling happily replied, "Thank you Gongzi for the compliment." Then slowly fall into the dream.

About a quarter of an hour later, a strong wind struck Wang Ling's neck again, causing him to fall into a slumber again.

Immediately, the black-robed old man appeared outside the bonfire and said in a low voice, "Your Highness the Nine, the old slave has dispersed all the people who are chasing after you. But there are quite a few of them, so we have to speed up and get out of this valley as soon as possible."

Xu Gongzi frowned slightly, slightly displeased, and then disappeared in a flash, hiding it very well. He said softly, "It's okay, I hope that we can find the monks of the Chu State and the Yun Kingdom as soon as possible, so that we can complete the instructions of the Great Sacrifice Wine."

The black-robed old man bowed down and said, "The six waves of monks on the outskirts of the valley have been misled by the old slave to search for the route. However, the old slave vaguely felt that several powerful breaths appeared in the mountains and forests outside the valley."

Xu Gongzi was stunned for a moment, then the corners of his mouth lifted a strange arc, and chuckled, "It seems that they have taken the bait. Uncle Liu, you are doing a very good job, I believe that the old sacrificial wine also wants to know who is behind these people. After he gave the order, there were still people who dared to fight among themselves."

"Your Highness the Ninth Rest assured, the old slave will definitely protect you." The black-robed old man said in a deep voice, looking very confident.

Xu Gongzi said "oh" and did not respond, but just waved his hand and motioned for the black-robed old man to step back.

After waking up, the two began to bypass the deep pool of the waterfall and came to a maple forest.

The ground is full of light red maple leaves, and you can't see the edge at a glance.

Wang Ling and Xu Gongzi finally took a breath, and on the other side of the maple forest, they could vaguely hear the roar of the strange beast, as well as the sound of the monk fighting.

In a place where the two of them couldn't see, in the endless wilderness, they could actually see scattered strange beasts coming towards the maple leaf forest. If Xu Gongzi saw that scene, he would definitely tremble in his heart.

Those strange beasts were so numerous and huge in size that they were far beyond what she had before

Any strange beast encountered.

Moreover, they were constantly fighting before, and the scene was extremely bloody.

"What's going on?" Wang Ling's face was gloomy and he listened to the sound of fighting on the other side of the maple forest, they finally didn't have to flee anymore, it was estimated that after passing through this maple forest, they were sheep in the mouth of a tiger.

"I don't know." Xu Gongzi scratched his head, a little nervous. She could have bypassed the valley behind her to find a safe place.

The two of them could only bite the bullet at this time, Wang Ling led the way, Xu Gongzi followed behind, did not stop, stepped on the maple leaves on the ground, trying to see what the situation was on the other side of the maple leaf forest.

Not long after the two of them entered the maple leaf forest, at the entrance of the valley, three embroidered guards suddenly appeared, which were Wang Changyun, Gao Hongbao and Ding Yangping.

"I didn't expect them to appear in this valley." Wang Changyun lightly stepped on a boulder in the valley and rushed into the valley.

"We need to hurry up and find His Highness the Ninth as soon as possible." Gao Hongbao spat out a bone in his mouth, and still held half a piece of roast meat in his hand.

Ding Yangping was silent, following closely behind the two, his eyes sweeping over every part of the valley, so as not to miss any corners where people could be hidden.

The three of them were shaped like ghosts, and quickly disappeared into the valley, rushing directly into the depths of the valley.

Soon, the three of them appeared on a boulder, next to a waterfall that fell from the mountain. This is where Wang Ling and Xu Gongzi rested before.

Ding Yangping was carefully inspecting every place where people could be hidden, and Gao Hongbao was standing next to the pond, munching on a wild pear that had been picked from the mountains and forests at some point, and his eyes swept over every place in the pond where people could be hidden.

Wang Changyun jumped down from a tall tree in the mountains, and came to the other side of the pond, where the maple forest was already faintly visible.

"Be careful!" As soon as Wang Changyun landed, there was a voice from Ding Yangping reminding him. He hurriedly put his hands in front of him, forming a qi barrier as a shield to resist the impact of a black claw shadow.

A silent black claw shadow suddenly appeared, prompting the three of them to stand in line and watch the surroundings vigilantly.

"Who?" Gao Hongbao's eyes looked at the place where the black claw shadow appeared, and he didn't dare to relax at all.

At this moment, Wang Changyun's face was pale, and a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth. Ding Yangping held Wang Changyun with his left hand, and took out a pill from his arms with his right hand and handed it to Wang Changyun, but his eyes were still vigilant to guard against a sudden sneak attack.

After swallowing the pill, Wang Changyun sat on the ground and breathed for a while, his face slightly ruddy. He slowly stood up, his eyes staring at the maple leaf forest in the distance, and he was shocked, "The three of them have already thrown off the embroidered guard, I didn't expect to encounter hard stubble here."

There was no response in the middle of the ring, and Ding Yangping asked again in the direction of the maple leaf forest, "Dare to ask who your Excellency is?"

After a long time, an old voice came from the forest, "You are not embroidered guards."

Hearing this, the three of them were shocked at the same time. Two days ago, the three of them killed Wang Changyun and the other three, pretending to be embroidered guards, and became a team looking for targets.

"If you don't gamble once, the three of us rushed into the forest from different directions, and the target must have entered the maple leaf forest." Ding Yangping was behind the two of them and whispered.

Wang Changyun and Gao Hongbao agreed.

The three of them were originally the top sword cultivators in the rivers and lakes, and this operation was that the leader behind them received a rich reward, and they thought that it would be easy to assassinate a down-and-out prince of Yue Kingdom who had fallen into the mountains and forests.

Unexpectedly, during this period of time, all the traces of man-made people in the mountains disappeared.

At that time, the three of them were looking for a suitable identity in the dense forest, and finally decided to use the identity of the embroidered guard, they were originally looking for a target.

After an instant, the three of them rushed forward at the same time, heading in three different directions towards the Maple Leaf Forest.

Gao Hongbao and Ding Yangping entered the maple leaf forest one after another, and Wang Changyun was very unlucky, as soon as he entered the forest, he should have bumped into an old man in black robes head-on.

Wang Changyun's right hand turned into a knife, and a strong wind rushed directly towards the black-robed old man more than ten steps away

。

The black-robed old man inserted the wooden staff in his hand into the maple leaf under his feet, and directly sank into the mountain rocks and soil clods, a foot long. Then, the two-sleeved robe was windless and automatic, and the hands directly turned into sharp claws, and two black claw shadows rushed out of the robe, directly crashing into the oncoming palm wind.

"Squeak... Creak... Squeak..."

With the place where the black claw shadow and the palm wind collided as the core, there were ripples in a radius of several feet, and the maple trees around the two of them were crooked.

Wang Changyun stood in place like a mountain, motionless, blood in the palm of his right hand slowly flowed down his fingers, dripping onto the light red maple leaves.

At this moment, Wang Changyun's body has already turned over the river and the sea, and his qi is chaotic. He didn't expect that he, as a top sword cultivator, would die here, and he was about to retreat.

At the same moment, the black-robed old man pulled out the wooden staff in front of him and turned around to resist the two people who suddenly appeared behind him.

The left and right palms and a wooden staff collided together, and the black-robed old man was still standing in place, his robe was blown by the strong wind, but the wooden staff that his right hand was holding tightly did not move at all.
