Ji Ning looked at the young man in front of him with wide eyes, with a slightly shocked look in his eyes.

He never expected to meet Qi Lan here.

The stunned look in Qi Lan's eyes calmed down, he took a step back, and asked with some surprise:

"Why are you here?"

But as soon as the words came out, Qi Lan knew that his question was a little stupid.

During the day, he just glanced at it, and felt that this place was not simple, and he had the idea of coming alone to investigate at night, and Ji Ning was naturally the same.

Seeing that the young man didn't reply, Qi Lan turned his head to investigate, and found the broken coffin and the paper figure standing in the center, and he was a little alert for a moment, staring at his eyes and asking:

"What is this?"

"It's dead."

Ji Ning sighed, looked at the paper man who had completely lost his life, and couldn't help but think of the map left by Shen Yuzhen.

There are many puppets that are more powerful than this paper man, and in order to replenish the yin qi of the saint's corpse, he must find a place as soon as possible, so as not to be preempted.

A hint of surprise appeared on the young man's knife-like face, this time he did not restrain himself, stepped forward to take a closer look at the paper figure, and after confirming that this second-stage monster had completely died, he immediately gasped:

"You killed it?"

"Sort of."

Ji Ning scratched his head, naturally he wouldn't tell the matter of the saint's corpse.

The Sui Yin Bead in the back heart of the paper man was indeed taken off by it, and that thing was equivalent to the beast pill of the demon beast, and if it was gone, it would be dead.

"Looks like I'm underestimating you."

Qi Lan looked at Ji Ning with a complicated expression.

His bone age is exactly nineteen this year, and his cultivation is in the Silver Bone Realm, and he is still quite a long way away from the second stage, and the boy looks younger than him and seems to be more than two years old, but he can already have the means to kill the monsters of the second stage.

And, he wasn't injured yet.

Ji Ning was stunned, shook his head slightly and smiled:

"Brother Qi Lan misunderstood, although the paper monster is in the second stage, when it fought with me, it did not exert its full strength, but was restricted by the seal, so I was lucky enough to capture it."

"But isn't that coffin his seal?"

Qi Lan frowned and asked, a monk from the Willow Bone Realm who killed a second-order demon alone, he couldn't believe it.

But if according to what Ji Ning said, this paper figure is restricted by the seal, then this coffin should be intact.

And if you don't open the coffin, how can you see a paper man?

The atmosphere in the air, somewhat dreary.

Ji Ning also felt that the reason was untenable, and felt a little embarrassed, but he didn't continue to explain.

After all, lying is such a thing, as long as you open your mouth, it is endless, a lie has to be fulfilled with thousands of lies, less to say less wrong, not to say good, as for the truth, that is what Qi Lan should think about.

"Anyway, there's nothing here."

"This coffin was broken when it broke free from the seal, and the bones inside were destroyed, and there were no treasures to accompany the burial."

The grim face of the young man holding the knife remained silent.

He crouched down, carefully examined the marks on the ground, and even stretched out his index finger to twitch the dust on the bones, took out the compass, whispered something, and waited a little before letting out an inexplicable sigh.

"It turns out that there is really nothing here, and Jiang Liuhai's inference is correct."

Qi Lan put away the compass, got up and looked at Ji Ning, and said lightly:

"We haven't seen each other tonight."

Ji Ning was stunned for a moment, understood what the other party meant, and smiled slightly:

"That's nature."

The two arched their hands to each other without saying much.

Going out at midnight and exploring the ruins without permission is tantamount to wanting to eat alone with the team on your back, regardless of whether there is a harvest or not, this kind of behavior is definitely not allowed, and it will be discovered by the regiment commander, and some punishments will be avoided.

Without further ado, the two left one after the other and returned to the ground.

At this moment, the time has reached the fourth watch.

Under the moon, Ji Ning and Qi Lan were always no more than a hundred steps apart, shuttling between the jungles, their bodies were hidden, and even the bright moonlight could not be found.

If nothing else, they could have rushed back to the camp before dawn.

But the unexpected happened.

In the mountains and forests not far away, several wolf howls sounded, and the howl was very miserable.

Ji Ning and Qi Lan were both very familiar with the habits of beasts, and when they learned that there was something strange, they frowned at the same time and stopped their figures, and looked at each other with solemn expressions.

There are monsters.

Wolves are social animals, and those who can appear here will certainly not be ordinary wolves, at least they must be monsters infected with evil spirits.

Whether it is a wolf or a wolf demon, there are often similar responses to the cry of the moon, and the sound is long and long, and it can be heard for more than ten miles around.

But at this moment they only heard a wolf roar, and it was very miserable.

This proves that the wolf demons in the nearby mountains are dead.

"Xiushan is too big, and humans can't kill all the wolves, but demons can."

Qi Lan's expression was solemn, in the final analysis, no matter how powerful the cultivators of the human race are, this is still the territory of monsters, in the huge jungle, there are dozens or hundreds of wolf demons, if they want to run, where can the monks intercept them, let alone think about killing them all, but monsters can, they belong to the forest.

Natural selection, survival of the fittest, hunting natural enemies is not a difficult task.

"It's a tricky monster, and it's a bunch."

Ji Ning squatted down, put his ears on the ground, his expression was solemn, and he heard the dense and heavy sound of hooves coming from a forest somewhere in the distance, like a drum beating on a war drum.

"It's coming to us!"

As the sound of those heavy hooves got closer and closer, Qi Lan also heard it, his face immediately changed, and he hurriedly hid behind a tree.

Ji Ning also held his breath and quietly hid in the gap under a broken tree, not daring to make any sound.

So in a short time, in the forest ahead, a group of wild horses with strong limbs and smooth manes rushed out, their hooves as heavy as a thousand pounds, and every time they ran they could smash a shallow indentation on the ground, and the horse's nose could spew fire, and the flat teeth in the mouth also grew out and became sharp.

This is actually a group of demonized wild horses, extremely numerous, extremely strong, the tallest and noblest gray-black wild horse in the middle of the herd, the top of the head has a faint protrusion, and there are two craggy patches on both sides of the back, as if to grow horns and wings.

"That's a sign of imminent evolution, it's only one step away from becoming a third-stage demon!"

Qi Lan was horrified in his heart.

This group of wild horse demons has fifty or sixty horses, and each of them has a strong aura, and the worst is also the strength of the first stage of the human race.

The most powerful leader is already about to grow horns and evolve into a higher-level Pegasus.

There is no doubt that once discovered by this group of demon horses, the fate of him and Ji Ning will definitely be the same as that group of wolf demons, and they will die extremely miserable.

Even the adventurous group camp more than ten miles away, if it is discovered by this group of monsters and wild horses, it will also be wiped out.

"Why don't they leave, do they still want to sleep here?"

Ji Ning secretly transmitted the sound and looked at the wild horse demons around him questioningly.

This large group of monsters, with heavy iron hooves, smashed many large trees and rocks along the way, razed the surrounding areas to the ground, and finally came to this vicinity, they all stopped in an orderly manner, and were not too presumptuous, but they all dispersed, and found a place to lie down, as if they wanted to rest.

Qi Lan was stunned, looked at a wild horse demon lying in front of him, and also replied with a wry smile:

"Looks like we're out of luck, and it seems like it's all their territory."

Ji Ning was a little nervous and asked:

"What then, are we going to wait here until tomorrow morning and wait for them to wake up and leave?"

Qi Lan shook his head:

"Leave in the daytime, this group of monsters see the sun, maybe they will do something, and when the time comes, they will kick around like crazy, you and I will definitely be discovered, so we can only escape at night."

Saying that, Qi Lan took a deep breath, plucked up the courage to lean out of the tree, stared at the wild horse demon group that was lying down and grazing not far away, and after observing it, he said to Ji Ning:

"Restrain your breath and leave from the southeast, there are the fewest monsters there, as long as you and I are careful, it shouldn't be exposed."

"What if it's exposed?"

Ji Ning asked Chuanyin.

He looked at the leader of the wild horse demon group who closed his eyes and rested, and a bold idea rose in his heart.

Capture the thief and capture the king first.

If he could take the wild horse monster leader by surprise and kill it with one punch, would he be able to directly resolve this crisis?

"Forget it."

After a moment, Ji Ning slowly shook his head and withdrew his gaze.

He still remembered that under Ye Yu's nose, he took advantage of the time and place, and the means were all together, and in the end, he was able to barely kill the buffalo demon at the beginning of the second stage with the ground-level swordsmanship that Ye Yu taught him.

But now, he doesn't have a sword.

This horse, I don't know how many times more powerful than the cow.

Qi Lan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said:

"If it's exposed, then we can only run, and we have to find a way to lure them to other places, and we can't match the speed."

"I know that there is a low-lying valley in the southeast, which is full of thorn sunflower trees that are more than 100 years old, and the horses are unable to move, as long as we can enter the valley, even if we are discovered, we should be able to escape!"

Ji Ning nodded and did not question.

Now, he doesn't know what to do, so he can only listen to Qi Lan's plan.

So, the two of them found a suitable time, avoided the sight of some wild horse monsters who had not rested, and cautiously walked out of the hiding place, and at the same time walked towards the valley in the southeast.

Every step was extremely slow, and even the leaves on the soles of my feet were attentive and did not dare to make the slightest sound.

In this way, the two walked out more than ten steps in fear, and before they could feel lucky, they were confronted with a wild horse with a burning fire in its nose again, and a wolf corpse in its sharp mouth.

Ji Ning's eyes widened, hiding behind a small rock, watching the horse step over him, and he didn't make any defensive moves.

"Whew!"

After the horse jumped over and returned to its perch, Ji Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

Almost.

If he was really stepped on, he could only resist, and the hooves were as heavy as a thousand pounds, and he couldn't resist hard.

And once he chooses to do it, he will inevitably alarm all the horses in this room, and by that time, it is really impossible to say whether he will be dead or alive.

Qi Lan's eyes also widened, and the two glanced at each other, continuing to stay away from the habitat of this group of wild horses in fear.

Ten steps, twenty steps, one hundred steps......

When the two of them successfully passed through a messy bush, there was no more wild horse monsters around them, and they thought they had escaped and were happy.

In the forest ahead, there was another wild horse running back with a wolf corpse in its mouth!

Its body is strong, its mane is smooth, and it shows a different style under the moon.

However, Ji Ning didn't have time to appreciate it.

Because this time, the horse's hoof, right on his chest, was about to crush his sternum!!
