"Well, it looks like I'm going to have to practice a little bit more." Wu Jinxing looked at his hand with some dissatisfaction, and then looked at Chen Rong's corpse.

The neck on Chen Rong's corpse was crooked, but only a little crooked, obviously not to the point of immediate death.

Wu Jinxing always thought that it was a very easy thing to break someone's neck with a click, but when he practiced it today, he found that it was not so simple. The first is that he twisted in the wrong position, just crushed her spine, and the strength was too small, only a little crushed, not even a complete fracture.

But it can also be seen that the real cause of Chen Rong's death was not broken by Wu Jinxing.

Zhou Jinyan silently pulled out the Yuxiao Sword from Chen Rong's heart, and there was still a crackling current on the Yuxiao Sword, and the sword gradually dissipated. Just now, she used her furious thunder to kill and finally ended her life with her own hands.

"Ding," the electronic voice sounded in Wu Jinxing's ears, "Congratulations to the host for completing the auxiliary task Anti-Killing Cauldron, and the task rewards will be distributed together when the main task is settled." ”

Hearing the words of the electronic sound, a big stone in Wu Jinxing's heart finally landed. What he values most is the reward of this side quest, but the main quest doesn't value it, and it was originally for it. Now that it's finally done, what about the main task...... To hell with it, he didn't want to stay in this place any longer.

The ghost knows what means the demon king will use to hunt down and kill Zhou Jinyan in a while, and he is likely to be hacked to death, anyway, Zhou Jinyan is fine now, it is better to leave quickly at this time, so as not to burn herself.

"However, if the host fails to complete the main task, the reward will not be issued." Electronic Tone added.

Wu Jinxing: "......"

[Alas, forget it, I'm going out anyway, so let's take her along the way, it's a good deed...... Otherwise, if you can't get anything from this task that you have managed to complete, wouldn't it be a big loss? Although the trouble is endless, but the wealth is in danger, presumably the return will not be small, well, just ask from her when this return is made, the royal family should not lack this money......] Wu Jinxing thought secretly.

"Let's go." Zhou Jinyan said in a low and hoarse voice.

"Hmm." Seeing that Zhou Jinyan had already scavenged all the loot, Wu Jinxing also picked up the almost unshapeable iron pot and followed behind.

The two walked in the direction of Taiyuan Prefecture, but neither of them spoke along the way.

Zhou Jinyan fell into the grief of being betrayed. Bringing himself up from childhood, a person who is not a relative but is better than a relative, suddenly betrays himself, and also has a strong malice towards himself, this kind of mental blow is very painful.

Although she didn't say it, holding the pain in her heart, the unconscious reaction of her body exposed all this.

Sadness is much harder than hurting, but it is unimaginably powerful.

It's like a person whose faith he has always believed in is suddenly shattered, and when he discovers that everything is false, he will fall directly into the abyss of despair.

At the moment when the Wind Spirit Umbrella tried to pierce her heart, a mist enveloped Zhou Jinyan's heart. She felt that her life was gloomy, her heart was like ashes, as if she had lost faith in everything and sank into darkness.

But when she fought, she kept these things deep in her heart and didn't let them affect her. But when the dust settled, they all came up again and drowned her.

Especially when she knew the reason, she realized that Chen Rong, who had always regarded herself as her own, was full of hatred and resentment towards herself in her heart, and the trauma on her soul was torn even more.

This mental pain either heals itself over time or is enlightened by others.

And Wu Jinxing is very self-aware, he will never enlighten others, if he really wants to speak, it may make things worse. I just kept my mouth shut, so as not to accidentally irritate her.

……

It's evening again, the sun is setting, and the afterglow is sprinkled on a river, the surface of which is sparkling like pieces of gold.

By the river, a man and a woman set up a bonfire, on which in addition to some bear meat, there were also a few more grilled fish.

Of course, all this was done by Wu Jinxing.

First, because Zhou Jinyan is now emotionally at a low point, let her calm down and calm down. The second is because if something is burnt, how will he eat it? She is the little princess of the Zhou Dynasty, presumably she must have never done this kind of rough work, didn't she see that she had to bring a personal maid when she escaped from the palace? And Wu Jinxing felt that what he might be doing now was the work of a personal maid.

And the Zhou Demon Mountain Range was very long, and they had been very deep before, so they had only walked half the way after walking for a few hours.

"I'll give this back to you." Wu Jinxing suddenly remembered something and threw a black mist pill to Zhou Jinyan.

He asked Zhou Jinyan for two before, and later used one to win surprisingly when fighting Chen Rong, and there was one left.

Zhou Jinyan didn't speak, put it away, and then threw a bracelet to Wu Jinxing.

"It's all mine?" Wu Jinxing asked. Seeing that she nodded slightly, Wu Jinxing directly put away the bracelet.

It's not that he wasn't curious about what was inside, but because he didn't have the Yuan Shen Realm, he couldn't open it at all. And after Zhou Jinyan took it out, there was no place to put it, so she had to take it back. In this way, it is useless to satisfy your curiosity, so it is better not to calculate.

Anyway, I'm not far from the Yuan Shen Realm.

"Ding," immediately, the electronic voice sounded abruptly for the second time today, "It has been detected that the host has some magic weapons that meet the transformation requirements, is it necessary to carry out transformation?" Details can be found on the dashboard. ”

"Huh?" This is not a small surprise for Wu Jinxing, who is now in urgent need of a magic weapon. His dilapidated iron pot was no longer in shape, and it was difficult to support this fight again. But he didn't want to spend pot coins to repair it, and the mall three-piece set he looked at today and found that there was no magic weapon.

At this time, there are magic weapons that can be transformed, and then letting yourself use them is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow.

Without hesitation, he opened the information board, transferred to the transformation, and saw that there was only one magic weapon that met the requirements of the transformation:

The ordinary magic weapon fire snake gourd can consume 80 pot coins, and it takes half an hour to transform it into a dilapidated hot pot with ordinary magic weapons.

[uh...... A shabby hot pot? I remember that I seemed to have seen it, but how could it be the product of a series of shabby iron pots? ]

[Well, there are still 90 pots of coins left in the balance, and there are only 10 pots left after spending it this time, so it's really a night back to before liberation!] ]

[And I remember that it only costs 100 pot coins to buy a dilapidated hot pot, and now it costs 80 pot coins to renovate it?] This fire snake is only worth 20 pot coins, which is too cheap, right?! ]

But in order to better face the unknown dangers in the future and increase his survival rate, even if he was unwilling, Wu Jinxing had to reluctantly cut off his pot coins and transform this fire snake into a hot pot. The transformation time will take half an hour, and he can only wait slowly. Although he couldn't figure out what the relationship between the gourd and the hot pot was, even if the appearance was very different, he remembered that the last time the system could transform a nine-story tower into a pot, it would definitely be easy to transform the gourd.

The two remained silent on their own, except for the sound of eating. After a while, Zhou Jinyan quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, raised her head that had been lowered, and said to Wu Jinxing with a somewhat hoarse throat:

"All the loot of those demons was given to you, and there was nothing in it that I wanted. But Sister Chen...... Chen Rong's things must be taken back by the royal family, and they cannot be distributed to you. ”

Zhou Jinyan habitually called out what she had always called Chen Rong, and only halfway through the call did she realize that it was wrong, and quickly changed her words. As if remembering something, he lowered his head, and tears quietly surfaced again.

"Okay." Although Wu Jinxing coveted her wind spirit umbrella, he didn't say much. It is normal for the things on Chen Rong's body to be recycled, because after all, these things were originally given by the royal family, and if the conditions allow, they must be taken back. Besides, Zhou Jinyan also gave all the things of those demon people to herself, which can be regarded as compensation in disguise.

Moments later, the sun had completely set, leaving nothing but moonlight and stars in the sky. There was silence and darkness all around them, save for the light of fires and the sound of campfires burning dead wood and decaying grass.

But the seemingly ordinary night, but I don't know why it brought him a creepy feeling, it seems that there is danger everywhere in the darkness, hidden murder, and the feeling of yesterday in the dense forest is completely different.

It was a kind of wariness from his gut instinct - as if something was staring at him in the shadows.

"Do you feel as if something is nearby?" Wu Jinxing got up and looked around, but he didn't find anything.

"Huh?" Zhou Jinyan also immediately suppressed the pain and vigilantly probed around. After finding nothing, she closed her eyes, pressed her temples with both hands, and rubbed them slightly, and when she opened her eyes again, Wu Jinxing seemed to see a flash of lightning in her eyes.

This was the first time Wu Jinxing had seen the pupil technique, and he observed Zhou Jinyan curiously. Thunder light flowed in her eye sockets, and her eyes were unusually clear and transparent, as if she could see through the darkness, and any ghostly spirit could not hide in her eyes.

She looked around, and suddenly stopped in one place, Wu Jinxing followed her gaze, and found that she was looking in the shadows behind a stone not too far away from her.

"Disgusting ......"

A wheezing sound was heard, and a figure squirmed in the shadows. Probably it also knew that it had been discovered, little by little out of the shadows, exposed to the moonlight.

It was a hideous-looking corpse wrapped in strips of cloth!

The reason why he said it was a corpse was because the strips of cloth on his head were scattered, revealing rotting and corpse-stained skin, no eyeballs in his eye sockets, and an unpleasant stench from his open mouth.

"Ahhh Mummy! Oh no, it's the Shroud! Wu Jinxing panicked and half-remembered that Pan Shunkun had told him that this creature was called a shrouded corpse.

But he only knows the name, and he doesn't know anything else!

"Disgusting ......"

The shroud roared, and a puddle of viscous liquid trickled down its mouth. It bared its teeth and claws, limping forward, but rushed at them with great speed.

It was as if I had seen prey.
