"Spicy demon beast jerky, exclusive secret production, a specialty of my mortal village, the taste is okay, right?"

Chen Ping leaned back in his chair, his hands behind his head, squinting and lazily looking at the sunset, a rare relaxation and leisure.

What a wonderful time.

Great views, good wine, and good food.

The mouth slowly chewed on the spicy monster jerky.

... It's so fragrant.

People in this world really don't enjoy it.

In the next generation, they will not eat spicy food, and at least half of the right to enjoy food will be lost.

"Huh, huh..."

He Xianxiang ate with a mouth full of smoke, quickly took a sip of wine, and threw the spicy demon beast jerky on the table: "It's not delicious, it's far inferior to the braised demon beast meat." ”

After speaking, he picked up the braised demon beast meat and ate it.

But after a while, he glanced at the spicy demon beast jerky, and couldn't help but pick it up and eat it again: "Huh, huha..."

"Well, it's not as good as braised demon beast meat." He Xianxiang shook his head while eating.

A little later:

"Huh, huh..."

Chen Ping: "......"

"Have you heard anything about the Qingyun Sect?" After chatting for a while, He Xianxiang turned his head and asked Chen Ping, who was lazily leaning on the chair.

"Can't get in touch with the Qingyun Sect? I've heard of some. Chen Ping didn't know why He Xianxiang mentioned this again.

"It's not just that you can't get in touch." He Xianxiang shook his head and said:

"The second team formed by the five major families a month ago is very strong, with a total of thirteen people, all of whom are in the middle and late stages of Qi training. But when I came back from the summons some time ago, I suffered heavy losses, and most of the people died along the way. ”

"That's not the worst, after all, there are people who go down. But the problem is that someone arrived at the foot of the Qingyun Sect Sect, but even worse news came, and the Qingyun Sect was not allowed to enter. ”

Chen Ping was agitated and sat up straight:

"What do you mean?"

He Xianxiang's eyebrows were engraved with worry, but on the surface, the wind was calm:

"What else can it mean? Only a few words were passed back: Qingyun Sect is not allowed to enter. ”

Chen Ping frowned:

"Gone?"

"It's gone."

Seeing that Chen Ping was incomprehensible, He Xianxiang ate another spicy demon beast jerky:

"Hey..., it's good to be able to send a few words back, what else do you want? With only a few transmission talismans, the person using it is only the ninth level of Qi cultivation, and it is already a good harvest to send back a few words. ”

"I have to be glad that the ninth layer of Qi cultivation made it to Qingyun Sect alive, otherwise not a word would have been passed on. Hiss..."

There are not many characters that can be communicated, and it is limited by the cultivation of the messenger, which is also related to the distance of communication... Chen Ping has heard of all this.

It's just that...

What does 'Qingyun Sect is not allowed to enter'?

Are you not allowed to enter?

Still can't get in?

There is still a difference.

"Is the team back?" Chen Ping asked.

... There is too little information at the moment.

If this team can come back and tell the story in person, the situation will be much clearer.

No guessing here.

"I don't know." He Xianxiang also leaned back in his chair, looking at the gradually darkening sky.

"Not many people know about this. Once it comes, Lianyun City is afraid that it will be a big mess, you just listen to it, don't spread it casually. Half a ring, He Xianxiang added.

Chen Ping was speechless, and he didn't ask He Xianxiang how he found out.

Just sigh silently:

'This Lianyun City, I'm afraid it's about to usher in the real midwinter. ’

Although the news will be suppressed for a while and a half, how can there be an impermeable wall, and the news will spread sooner or later.

'The Qingyun Sect is not allowed to enter. ’

There are many possible causes.

But when all laws return to the sect, there is only one ending.

That is, Qingyun Sect and Lianyun City have completely lost contact, and Lianyun City's backers are gone.

Lianyun City has really become a lonely city.

By the time the news spreads, people's hopes will be completely disappointed.

The human heart will be further amplified.

The rats that are in the shadows will be even more excited.

Can the five major families still maintain stability?

Not necessarily.

"Old man, I'm leaving Lianyun City." Suddenly, He Xianxiang's leisurely voice came.

Chen Ping suddenly turned his head.

I saw He Xianxiang half-lying looking at the sky, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't know what he was looking for in the distance.

talked to Chen Ping, but never turned his head to look at Chen Ping.

Chen Ping suppressed the incomprehension in his heart:

"Leave, where to go?"

He Xianxiang pondered for a while and said:

"Go home."

Chen Ping's expression froze... Go home?

It means going back to the mortal world.

Let's just say that the spirit in He Xianxiang's heart has not recovered.

Perhaps, from the moment his hand was broken, his mentality changed.

Chen Ping didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing for He Xianxiang.

The question is.

"How?" Chen Ping frowned.

Even the two teams jointly formed by the five major families have suffered heavy losses, and one He Xianxiang can go out?

Now the endless forest outside Lianyun City is no longer what it used to be.

After experiencing the battle between Qingyun Sect and Demon Cultivator, especially after the beast tide in Lianyun City, the outer forests were full of evil spirits and demon beasts, and if you were not careful, you would die without a place to be buried.

This has never been the case before.

He Xianxiang smiled at this time:

"What do you think, old man, I still have self-knowledge, how can I take risks alone? Several of our previous beast hunter squads have joined together to form a team of more than thirty people, and there are also many middle and late stage Qi training. ”

"We'll be on in a few days."

"Before I came, I wanted to ask if you wanted to go along. But now that I think about it, you still don't want to go well. No matter how dangerous even Cloud City is, there is no danger in the outer forests. ”

"Those families are desperate for their lives, and they may seek change."

More than thirty people?

Get out of the dangerous forest outside Lianyun City?

It's too risky.

Chen Ping frowned slightly:

"How sure are you?"

He Xianxiang laughed:

"How can you be sure, if six or seven of these thirty people can go out, they will be considered to have achieved their goal."

'Shhhhhh

Chen Ping couldn't help but gasp.

What's the difference between this and blocking a life?

Are they betting that they will be one of those six or seven people?

This probability is too small.

I can't afford to gamble.

"But having said that, we did everything we planned. This time, I can't wait to go in the direction of Qingyun Sect. Instead, he went north, starting from the Sunset Forest, heading north along the river, about three hundred miles and then four hundred miles to the northeast, towards the mortal city. In this way, although the distance will be several times longer. But based on my experience with previous beast hunters, this is probably the safest route. He Xianxiang added.

More than 30 people, walking more than 700 miles in the dark forest...

It's hard.

The Qi cultivation period monks are different from the foundation building period monks, their physique is not strong, they have no divine sense, and even the ability to fly the sword is unsightly.

There is no Bigu.

How easy is it for such thirty people to pass through the 700 miles of primeval forest?

"Don't wait? You also said that those families are very life-saving, and maybe they can find a way. And there are so many people here, and the chances of surviving in a group are greater than if you risk it in vain. Chen Ping was not so much trying to persuade He Xianxiang as he was seeking answers.

"Don't wait, you can wait when you're young. I'm waiting for these old bones, alone, what's there to wait for. Besides, we're just reluctant people, and it's not a bad journey to take a risk before we die, isn't it... Hey, drink, drink. He Xianxiang didn't seem to want to say that he was too pessimistic, and he made a mistake.

Chen Ping didn't say anything more.

What he knew, it was impossible for He Xianxiang not to know.

This is especially true of those beast hunters.

Maybe you can't see what hope is in Lianyun City, so choose to take the initiative.

Everyone has a choice for everyone.

This is life.
