Early the next morning.

Chen Changying arrived at the mountain forest on time where there was a hidden killing machine, and there might be a treasure of heaven and earth.

Under the rising red sun, the spiritual mist is misty, and the morning glow stretches out half of the sky.

And in this mountain stream, a figure dressed in white stood there quietly and ethereally.

A waist-length green silk hair naturally hangs down, a light veil covers the face, and the earlobes are crystal like pink.

Although, according to the current perspective, only a few outlines can be seen. In a trance, I still felt that this saintess who came one step earlier, in this artistic conception, was like a real fairy.

The corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and the saint could easily detect someone's reaction without looking back.

She was not in a hurry, and continued to maintain her current posture.

Chen Changying, on the other side, had slowly come back to his senses, his eyes were clear and there were no other distracting thoughts, he took the initiative to step forward, and then spoke:

"Holy Zuo girl, from now on, if there is danger hidden in the forest, I will inform you in advance."

"When the time comes, I hope you can keep the agreement and release the people."

If only the first half of the sentence is very satisfying.

But then he suddenly changed the topic and mentioned the release of people.

Under the light veil, the saint wrinkled her nose, but her tone was still as immortal as ever: "Today's five loose cultivators have been released, and I also ask Chen Daoyou to start leading the way." ”

Hearing this, Chen Changying no longer delayed his efforts.

He took a step forward, crossed the figure in white, and walked straight into the forest.

However, almost at the moment when he was in the forest, the spiritual power in his body seemed to be blocked, and it suddenly became extremely unsmooth.

Although the perception ability, as well as the muscles and bones of the skin, the increase in physical strength is not affected.

However, the overall level of cultivation still has dropped significantly, and it can only exert about sixty percent of its original strength.

It's a weird place.

At the same time as this thought popped up in his mind, two task options appeared in front of Chen Changying.

[Option 1: Assess the situation and retreat in the face of difficulties. Give up your current cooperation, get out of the forest, and make sure you stay safe until the end of the secret realm. Completion Reward: Soul Sealing Talisman - Xuan-level mid-grade talisman. 】

[Option 2: Continue to follow the agreement with the other party and walk deep into the forest.] Completion Reward: Random Attribute Points +1]

Look at the above system information.

It seems that this trip to the mountains and forests needs to be continued.

In addition, the first option deliberately mentions that it is safe to stay until the end of the secret realm, so that Chen Changying feels that in the mirror secret realm, I am afraid that there will be other troubles in the future.

Make a careful note of the situation.

Chen Changying continued to walk along the existing rugged mountain road while expanding the limits of his perception ability.

About 100 meters away, a new three-task option appeared in his mind.

[Option 1: Try to see the strength of the stealth killing array and show your hard power. Completion Reward: Book of Countercurrent - Ground-level Inferior Magic Weapon]

[Option 2: Use the contents of the ring left by Elder Yu to destroy the invisible killing array in front of you. Completion Reward: Baicao Pill - Xuan-level Mid-grade Elixir]

[Option 3: Shift thirty steps to the left to bypass the killing formation.] Fifteen steps forward, careful not to alarm the belly snake in the tree, and after another twenty steps, move fifty steps to the left to avoid the molten swamp. Take another hundred steps forward, cut off the poison ivy that was about to sneak attack at ten o'clock, and successfully escaped from the first danger. Completion Reward: Random Attribute Points +1]

The first two options are a bit too outrageous, and I definitely won't choose them.

As for the third option

It's a bit complicated, but it's quite detailed.

Chen Changying first told the saintess behind him that she must keep up with her pace and don't make a mistake.

Then start to follow the above system prompts and take action.

Looking at the back in front of her, the saint was very cooperative from beginning to end.

All kinds of troubles that could have existed were completely avoided in the end.

After that, according to the mission options that pop up from time to time, the two of them are not too slow.

After about an hour, the surrounding scene changed completely.

Unlike the woods that looked very ordinary before, the different types of trees in this woodland in front of me were intertwined with each other, which was extremely strange.

At the same time, three mission options appeared in Chen Changying's mind.

[Option 1: This is the end of today's itinerary, turn around and leave.] Completion Reward: Huoyun Xiao - Xuan-level Inferior Magic Weapon]

[Option 2: Try to bypass the woodland and follow its edge.] Completion Reward: Random Attribute Points +1]

[Option 3: Continue to lead people and walk straight towards the depths of the mountain forest.] Completion Reward: Random Attribute Points +1]

Option 2 and Option 3 are the easiest routes to reward only stat points.

According to his personal judgment, he actually wants to choose two more.

After all, the woodland in front of him looks like it is in danger.

But there have been cases of multiple easy routes before.

And often the last option is the most beneficial for yourself.

At least so far, this law has not been broken.

Therefore, even if the heart is still on the woodland in front of him, he is raised to the highest vigilance.

In the end, the third option was chosen.

After a pause, he walked towards the strange woodland ahead.

Qiu Yan faintly glanced at the strange trees in front of her, and the holy woman did not hesitate and followed closely.

Click-Click

The sound of stepping on the leafy mud is also different from the previous woodland.

Just when Chen Changying felt more and more wrong, he repeatedly pondered whether it would be more appropriate to choose the second.

A gentle breeze blew, and the green leaves on the branches instantly turned yellow and fell.

After keenly perceiving this, Chen Changying hurriedly dodged to avoid these strange fallen leaves.

However, what he didn't expect was that these dead leaves did not fall directly to the ground, but chased after him and the holy woman.

His eyes condensed slightly, and he immediately held the Sealing Ring Sword in his hand.

A sword lock, homeopathic stimulation.

The chains made of pale silver sword qi firmly sealed them in the middle when they encountered those dead leaves.

But after another half a minute, the sword qi chain was gradually broken, scattering into a little fluorescent.

The strange leaves that were originally divided into two clumps were completely gathered together, completely targeting themselves alone.

Holding the hilt of the sword tightly, Chen Changying did not panic at this moment.

When he used that sword lock just now, he actually felt that when he swung the sword, his power was at least fifty percent weaker than usual.

And this should also be affected by the suppression from this mountain forest.

However, since the sword lock can trap it for a moment, another sword style with a stronger effect should be able to fully cope with the trouble in front of you.

With this in mind, he began to gather the relevant sword intent.

On the other side, there was a fierceness hidden in the autumn eyes of the saint.

The corners of the silk satin white clothes fluttered, and the whole person rose into the air, overlooking the woodland in front of him, and slapped a palm in a certain direction.

Bang -

This palm, which carried the powerful wind, finally exploded in midair.

A figure walked out from the direction where the holy woman's gaze was locked.

"Anyone else here?"

Although it is difficult to deal with these weird dead leaves immediately, it is not difficult to avoid pursuit.

Therefore, Chen Changying still has the strength to pay attention to the battle situation next to him.

A pale gray robe and a pair of flowing cloud boots.

Such a dress.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he instantly realized who the other party was.

He is also a disciple of the Impermanence Sect.

I saw that the other party's footsteps easily walked to the middle of the woodland, and with a slight wave of his sleeve robe, the surrounding aura seemed to be instantly emptied.

Immediately afterwards, this disciple of the Impermanence Sect, who did not speak, also returned the palm.

Ripples rippled in the air, and trees along the way snapped.

Seeing this scene, the holy woman who rode the wind into the air, the light veil covering her face fluttered slightly, and a wisp of energy popped out from her fingertips.

In the next second, the spells cast by the two people collided again.

Bang bang bang –

Compared to just now, the explosion wave generated at this time was even more violent.

The disciples of the Impermanence Sect standing on the ground didn't seem to be affected in the slightest.

On the contrary, it was on the side of the Holy Maiden, and Chen Changying clearly heard a slight muffled sound.

Obviously, in the previous battle, the saint fell behind.

Taking a step forward, the disciple of the Impermanence Sect had a flat face, and he quickly realized the one-handed pinching seal.

When the seal was completed, Chen Changying only felt as if he was suddenly in a swamp with strong suction, and it became very difficult to move half a step.

The saint who rose against the wind, the current situation is not much better.

It seems that it can no longer be in a vacant state, and has fallen back to the ground.

Without a half-minute pause, the disciples of the Impermanence Sect once again pinched the seal with one hand.

The loose white robe on his body began to tightly restrain Chen Changying, as if he could directly strangle him to death.

The ringing in his ears and the weightlessness of spinning and turning the world upside down completely neutralized the perception he had relied on.

The sword intent that had gathered to more than half of it also collapsed from this.

The clump of dead leaves, which were obviously deadly, continued to surround him.

But even so, the situation that someone is currently facing is not the worst.

Not far away, the Holy Maiden seemed to be under even greater threat.

It was as if it was suppressed by some invisible and terrifying will.

Her brows furrowed slightly, and her breath was chaotic.

The neck is as white as snow, covered with striking bright red bloodshots.

The ground where it was, the rubble was cracking little by little.

Dead leaves that were nearly two inches thick were piled up, and they instantly turned to ashes, revealing yellowed mud.

At this point, the disciples of the Impermanence Sect are still pinching the seal.

The tangled branches broke away from the trunk and turned into sharp spears.

It was like an iron bucket in the middle, and then stabbed straight towards its target with the sound of a drum-like windbreaker.

Slowly raised his head, and there was a hint of determination in his autumn eyes.

When the situation was critical, the momentum of the saint's body, which had been rapidly declining, suddenly began to soar.

It was like a turbulent current in the frozen air.

The invisible terrifying will couldn't help but stagnate.

The pressure on his body suddenly decreased.

Seizing the gap, she tapped her toes on the ground, leaving a spider-silk crack and a splash of rubble.

The whole person turned into an afterimage, took Chen Changying, who had just recovered his mobility, and the two of them fled quickly.

Looking at the target that was gradually moving away, the disciples of the Impermanence Sect got up and chased after them.

Being carried away from the place, Chen Changying could clearly feel that the holy woman's skin was as hot as boiling water. The momentum that had just soared has now fallen again.

Obviously, the other side is in very poor shape right now.

The guy behind him is getting closer to each other little by little.

120 meters, 80 meters, 50 meters......

Just when she and the others were about to be caught up, the holy maiden's autumn eyes were firm, and she burst out again with another momentum.

The whole person was like an arrow feather off the string again, taking Chen Changying and quickly rushing out of this strange forest.

And after moving away from this place, the disciples of the Impermanence Sect behind him seemed to have given up the chase.

In this way, the saint held someone tightly and did not let go, and when she was about to reach the entrance of a cave, the momentum on her body dissipated without a trace in an instant, and the whole person fell directly into the arms of the man next to her, fainting.

Caught the person steadily, but Chen Changying felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

The other party is completely trusting himself, so he stepped into that strange wood.

So much so that he was ambushed, resulting in the current situation.

Then again, it should be the easiest route.

Could it be that I got something wrong.

Or maybe the system isn't so flawless?

Clenching his fists tightly, the situation just now made him feel powerless for the first time.

I can't help at all.

If it weren't for the other party's desperate rescue, I was afraid.

Thinking of this, Chen Changying's expression was slightly stunned.

He suddenly realized that he didn't seem to be physically hurt from start to finish.

The only person who really fell into serious injuries and even fell into a coma was the saint.

So, is that what the easiest route means?

But re-compare the previous two, which represent the options for the easiest route.

[Option 2: Try to bypass the woodland and follow its edge.] Completion Reward: Random Attribute Points +1]

[Option 3: Continue to lead people and walk towards the depths of the mountains and forests.] Completion Reward: Random Attribute Points +1]

As a rule of thumb, the latter should have been more beneficial to itself.

But what's the advantage?

In the process of escaping just now, he did not forget to observe.

The guy from the Impermanence Sect, after leaving the strange woods, slowed down significantly, so he gave up the pursuit.

In other words, the opponent can get a very large buff effect in that strange forest.

If she had chosen to take a detour, the saint might not have been injured.

It's like here now

There was no more time to continue complaining, Chen Changying touched the other party's hot forehead and began to check the other party's current injuries.

It wasn't until this moment that he found that the white clothes on the other party's body had been torn in some places, and gradually oozed patches of red.

It is clear that in addition to internal injuries, the other party also suffered very serious external injuries.

After thinking for a moment, he hurriedly took out the most precious healing elixir from his vows.

I took off the veil of the other party and saw the extremely familiar but pale face.

Sure enough, the other party is really a demon girl.

Without thinking too much about it, he was going to mash the elixir and put it into the other party's mouth with water so that he could take it.

At this moment, four mission options popped into his mind.

[Option 1: Take out the Nine Turns Spirit Pill in the opponent's cuff that you don't have time to take, grind it into powder and send it into the opponent's mouth with water, so that it can be swallowed.] But because of the other party's weakness, the effect of the medicine is extremely poor. Follow-up will seek other ways to solve the problem. Completion Reward: Sword Exquisite - Ground-level Inferior Magic Weapon]

[Option 2: Within half a day, break through to the Jindan period.] Then help him take the Nine Turns Spirit Pill, and then use his own spiritual power to help dissolve the medicinal power. Completion Reward: Cloud Shadow Step - Ground-level Lower Body Method]

[Option 3: Apply the Nine Turns Elixir to the wound first to help it stop the decline, and then wait and see how it changes. Completion Reward: Random Attribute Points +1]

[Option 4: With the Nine Turns Elixir in your mouth, you can use your spiritual power to dissolve the medicine, and save people from the brink of death through your mouth. Completion Reward: Random Attribute Points +1]

After reading the four options above.

Chen Changying realized that the situation did not seem to be as simple as he thought.

What kind of life-saving Nine Turns Elixir is used, I don't have it at all.

Then again, both options three and four seem to be behaviors that go beyond ordinary friendship.

Just as he was thinking about measuring, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Chen Changying's mind.

The order of these two options corresponds to different levels of intimacy.

The easiest route that was beneficial to oneself at the beginning should not refer to the current situation, right?

After entering the strange woods, the demon girl fought to be seriously injured and fell unconscious, but she was unscathed.

Then come and save people yourself.

The elixirs used were all brought by the demon girl.

From beginning to end, there is no loss at all.

Moreover, whether it is applying external drugs or helping to cross, if you have to look at the problem from a certain angle, you really take advantage of it.

But you call this a system prompt.

It's clearly what it is.

And so on, if the above two ways are the easiest route.

So according to the nature of the demon girl, even if she knows about it afterwards, it doesn't seem to be too irritable.
