Chapter Twenty-Four: Encounters

"Chirp!chirp!"

The chirping of unknown birds spread throughout the dense forest, and the intermittent and sudden rapid chirping did not know what kind of mood the owner felt, but frightened a disturbed tree mouse hurriedly rushed down, stepped on the air when it landed, and fell into the trap carefully constructed by the hunter with a sorrowful cry, and the spider, whose body was almost indistinguishable from the surrounding soil, unceremoniously pounced forward and enjoyed this rare meal.

The small flying insect that looked like a mosquito was swept into its mouth by the sudden bright red tongue, and the green snake swallowed one bird egg after another to swell its body, and the long-dormant wild cat launched a surprise attack and bit the pheasant's neck...... The seemingly silent jungle is in fact full of danger and strife, and the animals born in the wilderness can only do their best to keep their lives alive.

The young man in the green shirt kept an eye on his steps to avoid the disgusting strange slime, and at the same time used a branch to pull away the cobwebs in front of him, and looked down to see the insects in the grass jump away alertly, leaving only a pitiful white flower swaying gently.

The bright moon flower, which is as pure and flawless as the bright moon, is not difficult to distinguish, and after making sure that there is no danger around, the young man picks the flower with light car and puts it into a special utensil. A bright moon flower represents an ordinary Thousand Forging Realm monk breaking through a realm, and for a young Tianjiao with a stronger foundation, it is advisable to accumulate a small amount, maybe only one flower can't help break through, but after saving three or five flowers, he will be able to get his wish!

"Sir is right, this bright moon flower is really the deeper it goes, the more dangerous it is. Ling Qingyun took out the crescent-shaped jade pendant, the yellow and orange color means that his position is almost the "outer middle" of this Mingyue Island, this jade pendant that can sense the force field of Mingyue Island will continue to change to red as the position deepens, once it turns from orange to red, it means that the carrier has entered the inner area of Mingyue Island, which is full of dangers.

There is no doubt that the bright moon flowers in the inner perimeter of Bright Moon Island will grow more vigorously, but even the area infested by spirit beasts is too dangerous...... Looking around for a while, Ling Qingyun was a little surprised why there were no abnormal beasts inhabiting here, when he picked the previous two bright moon flowers, he encountered a reticulated python and a pair of red-eyed leopards respectively, although these opponents did not reach the level of demon beasts, they were by no means inferior to adult tigers.

It is a surprise that there is no enemy, anyway, there may be danger at any time in this dense forest, and there is no need to worry about the lack of opportunities to sharpen, Ling Qingyun followed the guidance of the jade pendant and walked deeper, it was already the third day, and it was a gratifying result to be able to harvest the bright moon flower every day on average, but if there were many competitors, if you were still wandering around the outer area, the resources would be snatched up sooner or later.

"Okay, let's go, it's only the fourth flower, it's just enough for each of us, really, ten days is too short......" The black-shirted young man complained contentedly, complaining on the one hand, and on the other hand, he hoped that this bright moon flower would have twin sisters, but this hope was obviously disappointed.

"The deeper we go, the denser the flowers become, but according to the ten-day limit, we have to start returning on the sixth day. The brocade-clothed boy also answered: "In this case, even if the bright moon flowers in front are much denser, and there is the same harvest on the way back, each of us can only get three bright moon flowers, and it is more than enough to break through the first realm, but it is difficult to go further." ”

"Hmm......" Ling Qingyun muttered, crossing the sea for thousands of miles, but only getting enough to break through the first realm is really unsatisfactory, although the results of the experience in the sea and the dense forest are already very precious...... But what else? They were already rushing to the depths of Bright Moon Island as far as they could, and the harvest was not as great as they wanted, but it was not something that could be changed by depression.

"In my opinion, as long as you do your best, this experience is not a pity, it was quite happy when we shot that ice owl yesterday, not to mention that even if we only improve one realm, we still don't earn it?" The only girl in the team was much more optimistic than the three boys, these words made Ling Qingyun and Xu Lingfeng both nodded, indeed, just the experience of landing on Mingyue Island on the Kunpeng battleship is already an experience that many people can't ask for, everyone really shouldn't be greedy.

Only Zhou Chi was still a little depressed, and when he pushed aside the grass and trees along the way, he deliberately used more strength, and when he made a sound that he didn't know if he could drive away snakes and insects, he looked down at his forearm wrapped in bandages: "We have gained benefits, and we have suffered enough, and in the end we didn't take advantage of anyone!"

"So you have to have a hundred bright moon flowers to be worthy of you, not afraid of suffering?" Xue Xuele was happy, and wanted to laugh at this complaining little brother again, but was stopped by Ling Qingyun: "There is a situation!"

The roar of some beast echoed not far away, and the boys were immediately alerted, but after a while the boys noticed that this roar was weakening, and another roar had prevailed.

"It's supposed to be the other team, it sounds familiar. Ling Qingyun spoke, suppressing the roar of the beast was a human roar, and it also carried some immature taste of a teenager of the same age.

"Do you want to say hello?" Zhou Chi was eager to try.

"Let's see each other, it's also a rare fate to meet in this jungle. Xu Lingfeng smiled, and everyone nodded happily.

At this time, the beast's roar could no longer be heard, and the human voice turned into full joy, thinking that the beast was either fleeing or ambushing, and coincidentally, the human voice over there was also gradually approaching in this direction.

"Looks like we've been discovered. The four teenagers looked at each other and smiled, but they were very calm about this, the classmates of the academy were not enemies, even if they heard it wrong, the other party was not a classmate or even had bad intentions, and they had nothing to fear in the past three days of fighting against all kinds of dense forests.

The two teams quickly saw each other with a deliberate sound, and the smiles on their faces grew stronger.

"It turned out to be Brother Ling!"

"I didn't expect it to be Brother Meng!"

The two teams of teenagers from Nanming Academy hugged their fists and smiled, and what appeared in front of Ling Qingyun was Meng Shanzhi, who was wearing leather armor and had a stronger physique than his peers, and the young man Tianjiao, who represented Class E at the beginning, was second only to Ling Qingyun and Lin Qiancheng in strength in the same class, but when he saw it today, Ling Qingyun felt that the other party's aura was becoming deeper and stronger, and it was stronger than at the beginning.

"It's worthy of the Stone Spirit Realm, it's really completely different from the Thousand Forging Realm!" Ling Qingyun whispered: "But I don't know if I fight him now, what the outcome will be?"

"A good Ling Qingyun, his cultivation may not be good, but his temperament is becoming more and more powerful!" Meng Shanzhi also looked at Ling Qingyun's confident eyes and whispered, as a thousand forging ten heavy, but being picked off by Ling Qingyun's sword in the ring was a big setback for him, although Lin Qiancheng was also frustrated afterwards and comforted him a little, he still felt incredible about Ling Qingyun's sharp sword.

The two teenagers are both of the same age, and their partners are not weak, but now Ling Qingyun and Meng Shan are so stiff that the two teams are like friends greeting each other, and like strong enemies facing each other, the atmosphere is very delicate, Ling Qingyun quickly noticed this, and changed the topic with a smile: "I don't know how Brother Meng has gained?"

"I just had a harvest, and now it's four. Meng Shan smiled, without the slightest intention of concealing it, could it be that the first person in the same class would turn into a bandit and rob the four bright moon flowers? Moreover, even if he really started, he was not afraid at all when he had already broken through to the Stone Spirit Realm.

"Coincidentally, we are also four!" Zhou Chi pretended to be surprised and shouted, "It's just that there are four of us here, exactly one flower per person, and the five of you are not very easy to separate." ”

These words made the young man beside Meng Shanzhi frown, there is no more obvious way to sow discord than this, Ling Qingyun's demeanor is admirable, his companion is really flattering.

However, Meng Shanzhi still smiled: "It's okay, the Bright Moon Flower has the best effect on the Thousand Forging Realm monks, but it is a tyrannical thing when used in the Stone Spirit Realm, not counting me, we happen to be one person and one flower." ”

"But I've wronged Brother Meng!" a young man beside Meng Shanzhi looked ashamed.

"How can there be any grievances that are not wronged, is it possible that the Stone Spirit Realm will be more aggrieved than the Thousand Forging Realm? I can come overseas for a trip, I have a lot of knowledge, as for the bright moon flower, it is only secondary, and cultivation is the right way to rely on oneself after all. Meng Shanzhi smiled slightly, this bearing made Ling Qingyun secretly admire, after all, now he needs to pursue the benefits brought by the Bright Moon Flower after all, although Meng Shanzhi has reached the Stone Spirit Realm and the effect of the Bright Moon Flower has decreased, his own character is also self-reliant.

"Meeting is fate, since we have met here, why don't we walk together for a while? According to Yu Pei's instructions, maybe we will meet other people next. Meng Shanzhi was very free and easy, and directly invited Ling Qingyun and his party.

Ling Qingyun nodded and smiled after asking for the opinions of his companions with his eyes: "It's okay, there's more chatter here!"

"How dare you say that you are nagging, we also want to ask you, the first person of this year, how to practice the sword so sharply!" Meng Shanzhi and his companions all smiled, and the nine teenagers quickly came together without any barriers, talking about the fierce Nanming Dabi at the beginning, and also talking about what they had seen and heard in the past few days on Mingyue Island.

"You've seen the Cracked Python Crane too?" exclaimed the young man in Monsan's team, "We have seen it too, it was chasing a silverhorned antelope at that moment, and it also killed a jackal along the way, and it was very short-tempered, maybe it was the same one!"

"If it's the same one, killing a golden leopard will be enough to eat for a long time. Xue Xue looked puzzled: "Could it be that the big bird is just idle and bored and just looking for a fight?"

"Maybe it's because you're out of love, so you lose your temper with other innocent animals!" Zhou Chi speculated maliciously.

"A golden mushroom that can instantly poison a deer, and a silver pattern?" Xu Lingfeng showed a shocked expression: "Maybe it's the legendary Baoguan mushroom, although it is highly poisonous, it is an alchemy material worth a thousand gold." It's a pity!"

"It's a pity, it's just that we don't know the goods, and we can't find the place where we are. Meng Shan looked a little regretful, after all, whether it is the bright moon flower, the red candle coral or the various harvests experienced before, the value of a single is less than a thousand gold, if you can pick the crown mushroom, you can definitely be proud of it: "But we don't have special utensils, we really know its value, rash picking may cause trouble, or it is better to be safe." As he spoke, he returned to his indifferent smile.

How to say, he is also the oldest person in his peers and even in the same class.

Suddenly, a burst of fresh air lifted everyone's spirits, as if the whole world suddenly opened up, the teenagers couldn't help but speed up their pace, the sun, the blue sky, and the jewel-like magnificent lake seemed to be in front of them, so that the eyes of the teenagers who had been trekking in the dark jungle for several days were bright, but Ling Qingyun and Meng Shanzhi subconsciously looked at each other after being amazed and nodded.

"Looks like that place is coming!" they thought at the same time, but their chests were getting hot.
