The dark night gradually came to an end driven by the faint morning light, and a ray of light broke through the vast eastern sky, and a new day arrived.

Dugu Zhishui walked out of the room and climbed to the top of the holy mountain with the first rays of light in the morning. Standing silently in front of the altar in the temple, he lost his mind for a moment. After a long time, he bowed deeply in front of the altar, and said softly to himself: "Grandpa not only has a life-saving grace for me, but also a nurturing grace, I know that no matter what I do, I can't repay his kindness, but I still have to try my best to do something." Sleeping gods, the old people say that you can do anything, I ask you to bless me to find the legendary Yuan Ling Grass and continue the life that is about to come to an end for my grandfather. ”

After speaking, Dugu Zhishui saluted the altar again, then turned around and strode away, his eyes full of determination and determination.

It turned out that Dugu Zhishui had always put the old Dugu Bo's life in the bottom of his heart, and he had learned from the mouth of the old man in the village that there was a spiritual mountain in the west outside the funeral god village, and there was a kind of spiritual grass growing on the mountain, called Yuan Lingcao, which could extend the life of the people whose longevity was dying. Old Dugu Bo is the most knowledgeable old man in the village, and he naturally knows this kind of thing very well, but he has never mentioned it to Dugu Zhishui, because he is afraid that Zhishui will have some accidents for himself. However, people are not as good as heaven, once Dugu Zhishui accidentally learned the news while chatting with other old people, and since then he has been planning to go to Lingshan to collect Yuan Lingcao.

The target of Dugu Zhishui this time is naturally the spiritual mountain with Yuan Ling grass. He knew in his heart that this trip would be very dangerous, although he had never been out of the pure land where the Burial God Village was located, but he had seen the battle between those fierce-looking beasts with bloodthirsty eyes from afar, and every time he thought of the terrible scene of blood mixed with minced meat flying in the air, broken internal organs, and broken stumps scattered all over the ground, Dugu Zhishui couldn't help but tremble.

After all, he was only an eleven-year-old boy, and he had never experienced such a bloody and brutal scene when he had lived in the Burial God Village since he was a child. Sometimes Dugu Zhishui would think about what kind of scene the Burial God Village would be like without the protection of God? Every time he thought of this, he couldn't help but shudder. Because of this, Dugu Zhishui believed more and more that there were gods protecting this small mountain village, so he would go to the holy mountain to worship before going to Lingshan.

Although his heart was full of fear, but this time Dugu Zhishui was very resolute, old Dugu Bo's time was running out, he had to do something, otherwise he would regret it for the rest of his life, even if it was risking his life.

Walking to the edge of the Pure Land, Dugu Zhishui forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, looked around and found that there was no danger, and then gently stepped out of the Pure Land. He was dressed in a set of pale cyan tight-fitting linen clothes, with a sharpened woodcutter tied to his waist, his right hand gripping the handle of the woodcutter, and a pair of god-eyed eyes swept cautiously to and fro.

Dugu Zhishui vigilantly moved along the bushes, sneaking for about five miles without any incident, which made the tight string in his heart loosen a little. However, at this moment, a fishy wind suddenly hit from the bushes next to him, and Dugu Zhishui suddenly fell to the side in a panic, and he was able to avoid this fatal blow. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the attacking thing followed closely and hit him directly by the throat, and only then did Dugu Zhishui really see what kind of creature the attacker was.

This turned out to be a red python, the snake body is about the thickness of the mouth of the bowl, the body is about a foot long, a pair of green snake eyes on the flat head flashing with a cold luster, and a pair of hideous fangs half a foot long have a large mouth of blood.

This is a red-blooded python, an extremely bloodthirsty ferocious snake, born with low intelligence, basically dominated by innate ferocity, and its combat effectiveness is among the best among snakes. However, this kind of snake is not poisonous, compared to other highly venomous snakes, its danger is lower, the adult red blood python is about three zhang, the one in front of him should still be in the juvenile stage, but Rao is so, this snake also has the strength of a human warrior, for Dugu Zhishui, a rookie who has never cultivated, this snake is a top powerhouse, and it is definitely not something he can compete with.

Speaking of Dugu Zhishui is really not small, the villagers of the Burial God Village basically do not practice, the ancestors just passed down some health preservation methods to prolong life, although the villagers learned about the existence of monks from the elders, but they did not know how to cultivate, over time, the monks have gradually deified in their hearts. In their view, the monks were men of God who could go to heaven and earth, and they could not reach them.

Although Dugu Zhishui was born strong since he was a child, he can almost compete with an adult at a young age, but he is absolutely unable to break into this dangerous place. The adults in the village generally didn't dare to step out of the Pure Land for half a step, but Dugu Zhishui, a hairy boy, broke out, and it could only be said that he was a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers.

At this time, seeing the sneak attack in front of him, Dugu Zhishui's face changed greatly, first rolled a few times in a row to avoid the attack, and then slammed his hands on the ground, and he stood up with a bounce and ran away. The red-blooded python chased after Dugu Zhishui, and Dugu Zhishui used his strength to eat milk and ran wildly in front, but the red-blooded python was extremely fast, if it wasn't for the obstruction of the forest, I'm afraid he would have been caught up. Even so, he couldn't close the distance between him and the red blood python at all, but was jumped up and down in the red blood python's attacks from time to time.

"Damn, why am I so unlucky. It seems that I was too reckless to run out like this. Dugu Zhishui scolded in his heart as he ran away.

At this time, he didn't care about any caution, and walked directly through the forest, and he ignored anything he encountered along the way, but fortunately this area was not too far from the Pure Land, and generally there would not be any particularly powerful beasts approaching, otherwise his life would have been gone.

After running for about five miles, Dugu Zhishui gradually became tired, and the speed under his feet was much slower, and on the other hand, the speed of the red blood python was still unabated, and there was no fatigue at all, and the red blood python was about to catch up. At this moment, there was a sudden sound of Xixi's rope in the bushes in front of him, and this sound was rapidly approaching Dugu Zhishui, and the moment he heard this sound, Dugu Zhishui's face turned pale.

"God, I won't be so unlucky today, right" Dugu Zhishui wailed in his heart, and quickly changed direction. However, he had only just taken a few steps when he felt something abnormal, and the fishy smell that had always existed was actually moving away, which made him stunned for a while, and when he looked back, he found that the red blood python had actually left, and it looked like a ...... Seeing this scene, Dugu Zhishui's expression froze. At that moment, the sound coming from the bushes was approaching, and a girl in a purple dress rushed out of it.

However, the girl in purple was a little embarrassed, and her purple dress had been broken in many places, revealing a large area of snow-white skin. The girl's expression was a little flustered, and when she passed by Dugu Zhishui's side, she just glanced at him indifferently, and passed him directly. Seeing the scene in front of him, Dugu Zhishui was a little stunned, but before he could react, an extremely shocking roar came from not far away. Dugu Zhishui was so frightened that the souls of the dead were rising, and he chased in the direction where the girl left.

"Damn, I said how did the red blood python escape. Damn, I don't know what kind of fierce beast this is, why am I so lucky today, and I met so many ruthless characters just out of the Pure Land. Dugu Zhishui shouted a little angrily.

Although Dugu Zhishui was exhausted, its speed was still not slow under the threat of death, but the purple-clothed girl in front of her was like a gust of wind, its speed was extremely fast, and Dugu Zhishui couldn't see her in the blink of an eye. But no matter how you look at it, the girl's body is a little staggering, and it seems that she has been injured. The roar behind him got closer and closer, and soon caught up with Dugu Zhishui.

This is a two-headed fire wolf, a fire-attribute wolf beast, its body is about one zhang high, two feet long, red hair is curled upside down, it has extremely strong strength, I am afraid that the ability of the enemy martial artist, it is extremely fast, just in the blink of an eye, it ran in front of Dugu Zhishui.

Seeing the two-headed fire wolf catching up with him, Dugu Zhishui felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart, this two-headed fire wolf looked much stronger than the previous red blood python, and he didn't have any chance to escape at all. "Am I really going to die here today?Grandpa, it seems that I am still too naïve, I'm sorry......" Dugu Zhishui's expression darkened, but he had already accepted his fate.

However, the two-headed fire wolf seemed to be very anxious and angry, it kept roaring, and did not pay attention to Dugu Zhishui, but chased straight towards the purple-clothed girl. Dugu Zhishui was swept away by the wind brought up by the two-headed fire wolf when he ran, and fell on the ground, but he did not suffer any substantial damage. Although the two-headed fire wolf spewed a breath of fire at him at random, he easily dodged it.

Looking at the two-headed fire wolf that was gradually moving away, Dugu Zhishui let out a sigh of relief, and then lay on his back on the ground for a long time before getting up again.

"What the hell was going on before, why was that two-headed fire wolf chasing that purple-clothed girl, and where was that girl sacred?", Dugu Zhishui was very puzzled in his heart. After this incident, he had already dispelled the idea of going to Lingshan to collect medicine, and with his strength, he was afraid that he could only become the ration of the fierce beast in this vast forest sea.

Along the direction leading to the Funeral God Village, Dugu Zhishui embarked on the return journey, his heart full of loss and unwillingness. "If I'm strong enough, why am I afraid of these monsters?, but I'm too weak to even protect my dearest......" At this moment, the fire of Dugu Zhishui's desire for power burned brightly, he had never been so eager to become strong as he was now. However, what's the use of trying to get stronger? Dugu Zhishui smiled bitterly, no longer thinking nonsense.

The road back to the Pure Land was relatively peaceful, and there were no more dangerous situations. When there were still about two miles away from the Pure Land, a pungent smell of blood rushed to his face, and Dugu Zhishui felt sick to his stomach. I saw a huge wolf corpse lying quietly on an open meadow, and streams of blood were gurgling out of the wolf corpse's chest.

Not far from the wolf corpse, a girl dressed in purple was lying on her side with her eyes closed, her clothes soaked with blood flowing from the wolf corpse.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Dugu Zhishui's heart could no longer be described as shocking. "Could it be...... Is she a cultivator?" He hesitated, but finally walked towards the girl who had fallen to the ground......
