It wasn't until four or five hours had elapsed that Helian Liuli ordered everyone to stop and rest on the edge of a rushing river.

"This big river is where the Fang family found the silver white mushroom." Someone remembered something and said with a little excitement, and at the same time looked around, as if he also wanted to discover some natural treasures.

As soon as these words came out, they immediately aroused everyone's interest, and Lin Yifan exclaimed, "Is it? Where did I find the mushrooms, I will try my luck, maybe I don't have to worry about the pocket money for the rest of my life. Lin Yinuo slapped him angrily, but he was shocked that he had peaks and peaks: "Honestly roll back for me to cultivate, don't forget what you came for." ”

"Tiancai Dibao has its own family expedition team to try our luck, we are here to practice, not for those three melons and two dates." Someone agreed, and decided to take advantage of the magnificent mountains and rivers to start cultivating.

So the team was divided into two groups, one group set up camp and began to cultivate attentively, and the other group went along the upper reaches of the riverbank.

Helian Ruri didn't stop them, but just reminded them to bring signal flares and don't go far, and then returned to their tent to practice.

Jiang Ci was naturally the same, he found a secret place to sit cross-legged, the Qi Eating Method began to operate, a large amount of spiritual energy was ingested into his lungs by him, circulating in the meridians, and after a small Zhou Tian's tempering, he successfully gathered the Purple Mansion.

In the past, it took half a day to achieve the results of cultivation, but here, it actually took less than two hours to complete, and I have to say that the environment of the secret realm is really much better than that of the earth.

When most of the day passed, approaching the night, Jiang Ci slowly exhaled a turbid breath, he opened his eyes, and let a golden light flash away.

However, if you look closely, you will find that there is still a little golden light in the depths of his eyes, which makes his eyes wrinkled and shining, like a torch.

At this moment, Jiang Ci couldn't help but howl at the sky, because he had already vaguely sensed a layer of shackles that seemed to be nothing, as if blocking the Purple Mansion, and like a net shrouded in his body.

He knew that this was a barrier and a bottleneck between realms. Originally, he practiced day and night on the Hidden Dragon Mountain, and had already stayed in the realm of the first floor for several months, but now he came to the secret realm to practice, as if the hidden dragon came out of the abyss, and directly touched the shackles of the second floor.

However, even if there are all kinds of heavenly and earthly treasures and demon beast meat rich in spiritual power to eat, in the eyes of the outside world, this speed is too incredible.

However, for Jiang Ci, it has been precipitated and can no longer be stable, and Long Yuan's day and night baptism has already reborn him.

His actions attracted a lot of eyes, and he smiled at Qin Yu and Wu Lan, who happened to be nearby, and hurriedly walked out, ready to bake and eat a few prey.

Helian Liuli had also finished practicing at this time, and when he was exploring the situation by the river, he saw that his family was contemplative, and couldn't help asking, "Uncle Chen, what's wrong, what are you thinking?" The old man's originally solemn expression was relieved after seeing Helian Liuli, and he said slowly: "I always feel that the breath on that feather is somewhat familiar, but I can't be sure, I don't know where I've seen it." Helian Liuli was silent, this is indeed the biggest crisis facing the expedition today, and I still don't know where the enemy is, but now that it's so far away, it shouldn't be targeted again.

After a while, some of the people who had gone upstream to hunt for treasures also returned, bringing with them some mediocre elixirs and a dead deer demon.

So everyone began to make a fire and barbecue, waiting for the soldiers who swam across the river first to come back and report the situation.

After eating and drinking, the three soldiers also rushed back one after another, according to them, there was a valley five kilometers on the other side of the river, the aura was very strong and the scenery was excellent, and there were no big demons around, only some monsters that were not very aggressive.

So Helian Liuli convened the children of each family to discuss, and finally decided to cross the river, and took root in the valley, using it as a gathering point for cultivation and trials.

As a result, an anomaly occurred at this time, and the originally calm water suddenly boiled, and fist-sized bubbles continued to bubble up, and then countless red crabs gushed out of the water and spread towards the other side of the river.

These mutant blood crabs are not big, very small, but they are extremely numerous, dense, like the sunset spreading a layer of sunset on the surface of the river, which makes people's scalp tingle.

"These blood crabs usually only come out at night, how can they start a large-scale migration at this point in time?" Some veterans wondered.

The old worshippers also suggested: "The situation is not right, we had better slow down first, something abnormal may happen." Everyone frowned, and now when they heard the word abnormal, they couldn't help but worry, this time, there won't be any more moths, right?

First was chased by the octopus monster, then witnessed the seagulls hunting and the huge bird's nest, and finally couldn't live in the middle of the night, was targeted by the monster, and the three companions were taken away and tortured, and now they just want to cross the river, but they encounter an accident.

It's just that now it can't be forced to cross the river, the river is full of crabs, dense, even more outrageous than seagulls, there is no place to put your feet at all, seeing this, Helian Liuli can only nod and start looking for a suitable place for everyone to set up camp.

The people walked along the riverbank, and finally found a stone forest before night fell completely, and now they had a shadow of the existence of trees and forests.

I was terrified along the way, because the river was full of crabs, and God knows how many of them could exist in this river, no wonder I didn't see any other monsters.

A myriad of strange stones sat in a depression, and the practitioners worked together to move them and build a simple fence outside the camp.

On the periphery of the stone forest there is also a low purple shrub with purple berries on top, which is very small, but the smell is very strong, and it is a little pungent for the practitioner.

This is also one of the reasons why the camp was chosen here, because the juice of this purple fruit can effectively dispel the monsters in the secret realm.

Several old men took the lead in squeezing the berries, then smeared the purple juice on their bodies, and said: "Everyone, I know that this smell is terrible, but you must do it, because in the secret realm, this is one of the few things that can disgust monsters, although it is useless for monsters in the high realm, but it can just avoid the attacks of some group monsters, similar to the seagull last night and today's blood crab." At first, some people were reluctant, but when they heard the last sentence, they quickly did it.

The berries really smelled bad, and there was an indescribable smell, a bit like durian, Jiang Ci simply blocked his sense of smell and smeared it on his limbs and face.

Looking over there again, Qin Yu and Wu Lan were just like going to the execution ground, gritting their teeth and squeezing juice into each other's bodies, and their facial features were about to be distorted.

"Ah, Wu Lan, what are you doing with so much rubbing on me, you did it on purpose!" Suddenly, Qin Yu shouted, she felt that there was too much juice on her face, and she was about to become a flower-faced cat, so she suddenly became angry and smeared more on Wu Lan's body.

Lin Yinuo, who has a fiery body and a fiery temperament, also looked disgusted at this time, after her brother deliberately poured juice into the back of her neck, she is now screaming while slapping the back of Lin Yifan's head.

However, Helian Liuli was the most calm, although he was also a little uncomfortable, but he endured it, and finally not only wiped his body all over his body, but even slapped the last remaining bit on Jiang Ci's back.

Seeing his stunned look, the tranquil goddess couldn't help but smile at this moment, and then arranged an order for Jiang Ci to take berries to wipe the walls.

"If I don't find something to do for you, I'm afraid you'll be called a little white face." Helian Liuli clasped his hands on his chest and said lightly.

"Wouldn't that be nice, I don't have to worry about anything." Jiang Ci looked like a salted fish. Helian Liuli glanced at him and said with disgust: "It's better to forget about the married man." When it was time to eat, everyone showed their talents and took out the prey they had caught in the afternoon, and suddenly the camp smelled of meat, fruit, and wine.

Although everyone is an expedition team, this will also show a circle, the Lin family sisters and brothers are sitting with an old man, Qin Yu, Wu Lan and Helian Liuli are staying together, and Fang Yunfei and Chu Cheng are surrounded by some children of the family.

As for Jiang Ci, he naturally followed behind Helian Liuli.

"Handsome guy, come here and reward you with a bird's leg." Seeing that Jiang Ci came back after completing the task, Wu Lan handed over a piece of barbecue quite attentively.

It's just that it looks very miserable from the appearance, and the black ones are about to turn into carbon, and then look at Qin Yu and Helian Liuli, who turned their heads separately, looking like they didn't care about themselves, Jiang Ci instantly understood.

He smiled and took the rest of the ingredients and sat down next to the fire: "I'll do it, three young ladies." ”

"Are you okay?" Qin Yuhu looked at him suspiciously. Before Jiang Ci could speak, Wu Lan spoke: "Yu'er, if he can do it, you have to try to find out." ”

"You're going to die, Wu Lan." Qin Yu didn't react at first, but the next moment he immediately blushed and kicked Wu Lan's ass.

As for Helian Liuli, she couldn't help but smile slightly, it seems that the goddess doesn't understand anything.

seemed to notice Jiang Ci's subtle expression, and her very heroic and delicate face couldn't help but blush a little, and she quickly recovered her down-to-earth and generous expression, and quietly glared at the peeking man.

Jiang Ci: "......" He turned a deaf ear and buried his head in the barbecue. Soon, a pair of wings, large enough for four or five people, became golden and crispy, exuding an enticing aroma.

"It's okay Jiang Ci, I didn't expect you to have this skill." Wu Lan sighed.

"The more I do it myself, the more familiar I will be." Saying that, Jiang Ci was about to divide the meat, but Helian Liuli on the side slapped the back of his hand and handed him a knife.

"Are your hands made of iron?" Helian Liuli said lightly, her eyes as bright as autumn water had a hint of resentment, and her neutral face under her short hair had a unique style under the light of the fire, like a carefully carved statue.

The aura-rich ingredients made everyone eat deliciously, and soon, after arranging a vigil, everyone set up their tents and prepared to rest.

However, after experiencing yesterday's incident, in order to prevent accidents, no one is going to sleep tonight, just taking advantage of the overflowing spiritual power in the body to practice well.

"Ruri, come here." After Helian Liuli finished inspecting the camp, Fang Yunfei beckoned and said, tonight it is the old man of Helian Liuli who is keeping vigil, and there are old men from the half-step Purple Mansion who are protecting him, so he wants Helian Liuli to move the tent to his side, so that he can practice with peace of mind.

"No need, you can cultivate hard." Helian Liuli rejected him, and once again asked Jiang Ci to follow him, worried that he would have an accident.

This made Fang Yunfei a little dissatisfied, seeing that the woman he liked took care of a person of the opposite sex like this, it was really difficult not to be restless.

He didn't feel the need to take care of Jiang Ci so much. Helian Liuli didn't look at him, but said calmly: "Whether it is Xiaoyu Wu Lan or you, there are people sent by the family to protect you, but Jiang Ci is only one person, he was called by me, and I have the responsibility to protect his safety." ”

"How can anyone take the initiative to call over a burden and make trouble for themselves." Fang Yunfei muttered in a low voice, seeing Helian Liuli's cold face, he didn't dare to say anything if he knew her temper, so he could only turn around and leave.

Jiang Ci didn't bother to take care of him, sat next to Helian Liuli as usual, and began to close his eyes. Since the night fell, there was a faint sense of crisis in his heart, as if he was being pushed by a pair of eyes behind his back, Jiang Ci's first thought was the fierce beast that attacked the team last night, so this time he quietly ran the Feather Dragon and Snake Sutra to ensure that he would not fall into a deep sleep again.

The Feather Dragon and Snake Sutra is not only effective in recovering injuries in the body, but also in the soul, so it can also play a role in strengthening the spirit.

Three hours passed, and there was silence in the camp, and Jiang Ci, who had closed his eyes and concentrated, suddenly felt dizzy and wanted to fall asleep.

The next moment, the dragon and snake in the meridians rose together, and there was a slight shock in the sea of consciousness, Jiang Ci instantly regained consciousness, and he realized that it was the fierce beast from last night that came again.

Jiang Ci didn't rush to open his eyes, but pretended to be a trick, and quietly opened a gap, and then saw drowsy people lying everywhere in the camp, and even Helian Liuli beside him fell into a state of seeming to be awake.

And the soldiers on the border next to the wall, they were unaware. Once again, the monster has used strange tricks, is this really going to torture them?

Jiang Ci increased his perception ability to the maximum, went all out to start searching, and finally, found a clue in the air dozens of meters above his head.

The first thing he saw was a pair of chaotic yellow-brown eyes, looking at everyone with a cold face, mixed with countless hatreds.

Jiang Ci found that this was a demon bird, but it was very miserable, the feathers on his body were scattered, there was dirty blood everywhere, a claw taller than a human was broken at the root, and a wing was broken, so he could barely stay in the air.

Jiang Ci was surprised, this monster was so badly injured, how could he waste his time so much and not heal?

Behind the tail of the ferocious bird was releasing a yellowish poisonous mist, and it was clear that it was this method that almost made him sink into it.

This is a fierce beast of the Purple Mansion realm! Just when he quietly wanted to make a move, trying to kill the injured demon bird with one blow, immediately afterward, more than a dozen strange birds flew in all directions again, all of them were in the spirit attraction realm, and their strength was different, but they were all respected by demon birds.

They slowly descend around the demon birds, as if picking their prey. Jiang Ci hurriedly moved his hand, quietly took out a grenade from his combat uniform and threw it into the distance, and the huge explosion instantly woke up everyone who had fallen asleep.

The team members who regained their consciousness immediately noticed the situation in front of them, and they were shocked and angry, but they didn't expect that they were actually hit again, and this monster actually chased all the way over, how much hatred and resentment there was?

Helian Liuli looked at the strange bird in mid-air, first frowned, and then turned pale, as if he had discovered something.

"Ruri, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Ci also pretended to be awake and asked in a low voice. Helian Liuli smiled bitterly: "I finally know the reason why Uncle Chen said that he seems to be familiar with the demonic spirit, do you remember my grandfather's photo of tearing the demon bird?" Hearing her say this, Jiang Ci instantly understood, and the seriously injured demon bird in front of him was clearly the same as in the photo.

It turned out that Helian Tianxiong met two demon birds, one male and one female, and the female was killed, but the male escaped in time.

Unfortunately, the demon bird that was recuperating from its wounds happened to be near the landing of the expedition, and it smelled the breath of the enemy, so it chased after it, found Helian Liuli, and wanted to torture and kill them all to vent its anger.

Knowing that he was the one who caused everyone, Helian Liuli's expression was very unsightly, so Jiang Ci comforted: "Don't think about it, the monster wanted to eat your grandfather but was killed, it's not your fault in the first place." ”

"Up!" At this moment, more than a dozen strange birds in the air moved, they swooped down, and directly wanted to drag some people to the sky, seeing this, everyone immediately moved, and the old man surnamed Chen of the Helian family took the lead, and the monster who hit directly with one palm coughed up blood.

The others either shot or waved alloy long knives, and also rushed forward, and now they know that they are not ghosts, but just a group of strange birds that only have the spirit attraction realm, they are not afraid of anything, they just want to kill these beasts to avenge Hu Shun and the others.

Half of these monsters don't have the strength of the peak realm, in front of these people, it is really not enough to see, especially when there are still a few half-step purple mansions, after a while, five or six huge corpses were put down in the center of the camp, and the various wounds on them were miserable.

Helian Liuli also held a green jade sword and fought with a strange bird with peak realm strength, she had a quiet temperament, but her attack was extremely powerful.

Compared with it, her sword path is also more mellow and natural, and her sword aura is three feet in front of her, and her opponents are losing and retreating.

It can be seen that she is indeed very close to the Purple Mansion Realm, and she may only be one chance away. Jiang Ci stood in place and didn't move, he kept staring at the Purple Mansion level demon bird in the air, although he was seriously injured, he still had to focus on prevention.

At this moment, a scream suddenly came from Qin Yu's side, it turned out that there was a strange bird there that was about to succeed in transforming into a pill, and its strength was very strong, not only seriously injured a team member, but also almost kidnapped Wu Lan, Qin Yu saw this and hurriedly went to rescue, but it turned out that she herself was also in the late stage of the Spirit Attraction Realm, and she was not an opponent at all, and the two were directly caught by the claws.

There was an old man in the half-step Purple Mansion who wanted to help, but the distance was a little far, and I was afraid that by the time he arrived at the strange bird, it would have already been vacated, Jiang Ci directly pulled out his alloy long knife and threw it over, cutting off one of his legs.

Wu Lan, who fell to the ground, saw Jiang Ci running over, and hurriedly shouted: "Jiang Ci, save Yu'er." Qin Yu was caught in her claws at the moment, her expression panicked, obviously thinking of the tragic situation of the three of them yesterday, especially after the strange bird broke a leg, the pain made it fierce, and it almost pinched her to death.

Jiang Ci jumped out in one step, bounced into the air seven or eight meters with his strength, caught the long knife thrown by Wu Lan with his hand, and then swung it down, directly breaking another leg.

He took advantage of the situation to hug the fallen Qin Yu and stabbed the long knife into the heart of the almost crazy strange bird.

"Alright, it's okay." After landing on the ground, Jiang Ci broke the claws that were still clamping on Qin Yu's back and said with a smile.

Qin Yu, whose face was pale, seemed to have just reacted, and he hugged Jiang Ci directly regardless of it, in order to ease his blank brain.

She didn't even wonder how Jiang Ci could easily slash and end up with a monster equivalent to his realm.

Jiang Ci also knew that she was in a very chaotic mood at the moment, so he gently patted her back a few times, and only pushed it away when she felt her heartbeat calm down.

"Thank you, thank you." Qin Yu also realized that he had been rescued by Jiang Ci again, and blushed a little.

"There is a big demon in the Purple Mansion Realm!" At that moment, someone let out an exclamation, and then it was torn apart by a demon bird that looked like a demon.

It turned out that the monster finally couldn't help but make a move, and its demonic aura was soaring, and it instantly shocked everyone.

They didn't expect that the seriously injured and dying guy was actually a Purple Mansion Realm monster! Jiang Ci didn't stare at it for just a moment, and it directly tore the two of them apart.

"This beast is seriously injured, and if you go up together, you can grind it to death." Just when everyone was panicking, the old people played a reassuring role, and the experienced ones knew that it was not possible to run, and they would die faster, so it was better to go together.

Several half-step old men from the Purple Mansion shot together, and the spiritual power on their bodies fluctuated a lot, even if they were monsters in their heyday, they probably didn't dare to take it hard.

However, this monster is not here to kill people at all, it is clearly aimed at Helian Liuli, it is to retaliate, it directly avoided the attack of the crowd, and with a flap of its wings, it suddenly set off a fishy wind, and the people who were directly blown turned on their backs, and at the same time, poisonous smoke rose, making it drowsy.

Helian Liuli, who was the target, was even more directly hit, and his whole body was so weak that he couldn't even hold the green jade sword in his hand.

The next moment, with a few exclamations, she was directly caught by the demon bird, and the sharp claws like a scimitar grabbed her to death.

Fang Yunfei's face beside her turned pale, the demonic aura of the Purple Mansion level was really a great suppression for the monks of the Spirit Channeling Realm, and seeing it with his own eyes, he couldn't suppress the fear in his heart, he wanted to save it, but he knew in his heart that this was something that could not be done, so he avoided Helian Liuli's eyes in a hurry and quickly retreated.
