Chapter 1: Qingyun
Nanming Mountain sits in the south of the Li River, and is the most prestigious among the countless mountains in Lizhou that are watered by the river. The so-called mountain is not high, there are immortals and spirits, the Nanming Mountain moistened by the water of the Li River is a fertile soil, you can see the thousand-year-old trees that are more than ten zhang high and stand towering to the sky, you can also see the deer that has just learned to run and jump dexterously jumping over the stream, from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, there is no lack of gloomy color everywhere, and there is never a lack of birds and beasts, the peak is more cloudy and misty that does not disperse all year round, and the rainbow glow is hung out under the morning light, the scene is like a dream, but it is really like a fairyland.
I don't know how many literati have visited this mountain, and they have left rare ink treasures with great emotion, and there are also martial artists who have devoted themselves to cultivation to enter this retreat, and suddenly enlightened and explored the Tianyun Pass, and the clouds and mist of Nanming Mountain have become more and more mysterious, but people can't help but wonder if there are really immortals living in this picturesque landscape.
But today, this painting suddenly ripples, but it comes from a roar like thunder through the mountains and forests, and suddenly the clouds are surging and the wind is flying, the plants and trees are all gone, and the birds and beasts are frightened and scattered, so the sound is better than the roar of the tiger and the roar of the lion, but I don't know what kind of beast king it comes from!
A behemoth with a foot long roared through the mountains and forests, and did not stop when it saw the trees blocking the way, but it actually relied on its thick arms that were not inferior to the big trees to break its waist, and moved forward with the momentum of flying sand and stones, at this time, the brown giant bear that seemed to be the overlord of the mountains and forests was staring at a small figure in front of him that was less than his shoulder height, and the black eyes were full of flames that belonged to the man-devouring beast.
Galloping through the forest under the pursuit of the giant bear, and from time to time using ancient trees and boulders as cover to flexibly avoid the pursuit of this fierce beast, it was a young man in a black shirt, compared to the giant bear that could cross the ancient tree with one palm, the young man inevitably looked too weak, but at this time his face was not afraid, but was filled with astonishing excitement.
"This big bear is really fierce enough, it screams louder than my dragon's teeth!" Not caring about the loud sound of another tree being broken by a brown bear, the young man turned sideways to avoid the whistling broken wood, but playfully glanced at the brown bear chasing behind him: "It's a pity that your brain is too stupid to eat me?"
"Roar!" seemed to understand the provocative meaning of the young man's words, and he couldn't help but charge even more angrily, like a chariot running over, and even the ground trembled.
Although the brown bear is huge, the speed of the explosion at this time is extremely amazing, and the distance between the two sides is constantly narrowed, and a trace of panic flashed in the eyes of the young man when he saw this, but it was quickly replaced by confidence.
One by one, the trees broke off at the waist, and the breathtaking roar kept approaching, ten zhang, eight zhang, five zhang, three zhang...... The heavy gasping of the giant bear was already beating on the back, as if the sharp fangs would pierce the flesh and tear the boy's relatively petite body to pieces in the next moment, but at this moment of crisis, a buzzing sound made the boy suddenly draw his knife and turn around, and shoot against the giant beast with a ruthless face!
But before the giant bear's giant palm was about to hit the boy, a carving arrow roared through the air, almost grazed the giant bear's eye socket and shot into the giant bear's neck, easily penetrating the fur thicker than ordinary armor and blooming a red blood flower. At the same moment when the giant bear roared in pain, the young man, who was originally in the position of the prey, suddenly turned around, but like a fish, he passed through a pair of bear arms, waved his dagger and struck the bear on the face, and then passed under its ribs dangerously, but his immature face was full of crazy excitement.
"Roar!" The next moment, a bear paw as big as a millstone swept over, and if it hit it this time, the young man's head, which was not as solid as the trunk of the tree, would definitely be blown up like a watermelon!
"Tsk, it's a pity, if this dagger is quenched with five-step snake venom, this knife is enough to kill a bear. But at the critical moment, the young man quickly lowered his head and rolled on the spot to avoid the giant bear's frenzied pursuit, provoking the blades of grass on his head to look embarrassed and funny, but he had no fear, but sighed with a little regret.
"If I had used a Burst Arrow, this guy would have been headless. A helpless sigh sounded accompanied by the sound of a new carved arrow breaking through the air, but it came from a girl who was also only twelve or thirteen years old, holding a carved purple wood bow, the girl was wearing a dark robe, and her hair was tied into a ponytail and looked quite sassy, but when she spoke, she had already pulled her bow and arrows again, squinting slightly and aiming at the giant beast that roared angrily, and she already had a heroic demeanor at a young age.
"Sister Xuexue, you can't make a burst arrow yourself, and in this mountain, I may not be able to catch a snake that is poisonous enough!" The young man was embarrassed to avoid the attack of the giant bear, but he retorted stiffly to the girl who reached out to help, so angry that the girl couldn't help but stomp her feet.
"Stinky boy, sister, my name is Xue Xue! And be careful, this guy should be an earth-based demon beast, with rough skin and thick flesh, this injury is not fatal at all!"
As Xue Xue said, although the giant bear was injured by arrows and daggers, the blood flow in its neck had stopped, and the healing speed was really impressive.
"Don't worry, I can't kill it, it can't hurt me, master, I'm the shadow wolf Zhou Chi, the first in this session...... Alas!" Zhou Chi's boast was interrupted by a fierce palm blow, although he was not weak in his body and narrowly avoided the bad luck of being smashed in the head, but just the strong palm wind that swept away made him feel as if he had been slapped in the face, and his face hurt.
"Roar!" The giant bear, which had repeatedly attacked and failed to hit its prey, roared again, as a tyrant of the mountains and forests, he could kill wild boars with one palm, and retreat from the wolves with one roar, even the nimble cunning rabbit could not escape from the palm of his hand, but today it was frequently deflated by this human being? Under the anger, its offensive became more and more fierce, forcing Zhou Chi to be embarrassed, and more and more beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.
Even if he looks down on this brute force beast, the young man has to admit that he is not the opponent of the giant bear at present, at this time, he is just barely dodging with the help of flexible advantages, and the occasional dagger is difficult to cut through the opponent's fur, and once he is hit, he will be seriously injured! This monster can even withstand Xue Xue's shots again and again and remain unmoved, just waiting to force himself into a desperate situation with extremely exhausting physical strength......
However, the excitement on Zhou Chi's face overshadowed fear, he liked this feeling of wandering between life and death, and more importantly, he understood that this was not a desperate situation. He calmly observed and dodged the onslaught of the giant bear, and suddenly his eyes lit up, but he caught a glimpse of the blue light in a strong brown wind!
"Boom!" There was a loud bang, and then, the giant bear, which had resisted the dagger and arrows, let out a loud roar that was even more deafening than before, and the roar was not only angry, but also contained pain and horror that had never been seen before.
Directly giving up the prey that he was aiming to get, the giant bear turned around and pounced on the opponent who brought him a real sense of threat with the agility that this size could have, and Zhou Chi, who was forced to be weak, almost sat down on the ground, but his eyes were shining, and he looked at the back of the giant bear in surprise - a foot-long scar gushed out more blood than the previous sum and stained the hair, which made him smell the sweetness and cruelty of victory, this rough-skinned monster finally met the nemesis!
Zhou Chi, whose face was full of excitement, gently retreated to avoid the coming storm, but cast a slightly envious gaze on the opposite side of the giant bear, which made him like the object of a great enemy.
This is a black-haired young man of the same age as Zhou Chi, wearing a green shirt and carrying a pitch-black scabbard, silently raising his hand, and the sword spits cold.
His face is the same as that of a young man, and his body is also insignificant in front of the giant bear, but the shining sword of the young man in the green shirt has a sharp edge far greater than that of a dagger, and his eyes are more like the stars of the mortal world, which makes the beast that dominates the mountains and forests also have fear.
As the overlord of the party, the giant bear has also gradually grown from countless fights, and its keen intuition makes it realize how sharp the sword in the hand of the young man in front of him is, it is a sharp weapon that can completely threaten its own life!
In the face of the giant bear that was ready to attack, the posture of the young man in the green shirt was the same, his face was calm and stood with his sword, and the light and breezy appearance seemed to have completely failed to take the giant bear in his eyes - only by being very good at observing could he find the solemnity of the young man's eyes, as well as the surging energy brewing in his body to the extreme!
The young man Zhou Chi and the girl Xue Xue also watched this confrontation with solemn faces, and the palms of the daggers and bows were sweating, they understood that if the two sides did not move, they would be shocked!
This battle of patience finally came to an end, and with a loud roar in the forest, the giant bear moved, and crashed into its prey like moving mountains and seas, and the boy also moved, and the sword forged by cold iron shone brightly, drawing a chilling sword light!
The two figures staggered, the roar of the giant bear showed a bit of timidity, and the young people and girls who watched the battle saw the large canopy of blood brought out by the sword blade, this scar passed through half of the giant bear's body, and it was shocking how sharp this sword was, and the fur of the earth-based demon bear comparable to iron armor was easily broken by cutting tofu.
It's just that in this confrontation, the young man didn't please him, but he saw that the sleeve of his right arm was all broken, and half of the giant bear's blood was spilled on his body, but I don't know how much of it flowed out of himself?
"Go!" At the next moment when the two figures separated, the eagle arrow, which was faster than any previous arrow, dragged a little emerald mang into the eye socket of the giant bear, making the giant beast that had not recovered from the previous pain suffer again, and roared sadly and crashed into the ancient tree that could make the two of them hug together, shaking down the fallen leaves of the forest, but it was not enough to vent its pain, so the injured beast turned around, raised its blood-drenched body, and stared at every teenager who had caused damage to itself with blood-soaked one-eyed, and the hatred of peeling and cramping was not enough to relieve the hatred made the teenagers also feel cold from the bottom of their hearts。
"Is this still going to kill it?" Xue Xue's face turned pale, the previous arrow could consume nearly half of her true qi and a lot of mind, but the tenacity of the vitality of the earth-based demon beast was really beyond expectations!
Qing Feng slashed out, breaking through many obstacles with an unstoppable momentum, the young man knew that it was the resistance of fur and flesh, this slash would cut the throat of the giant bear, and no matter how strong its self-healing power was, it would have to swallow obediently, but it was ...... The giant palm that was slapped on the head had a thousand momentum, and it may have been the last blow of the other party, but it was completely enough to crush himself!
The blade of the sword was still breaking forward, but the young man felt his body cold and stiff, as if he was a legendary dying body.
At the critical moment, a soft drink sounded in the young man's ears.
"Spirit Vine Spell!"
With this light drink, several emerald green vines burst out of the ground, entangled the body of the giant bear, although it was quickly broken by the brute force of the giant bear, but successfully delayed the bear's paw to shoot down, in this moment of gap, the young man in the green shirt was already dragging his almost immobile body, which was able to avoid the blow of the cracking rock.
With a small tremor of the ground, the giant bear lying on the ground widened its eyes, tried to roar but only let out a dull grunt, a large amount of blood sprayed out from the wound in its neck, draining the last of its strength, and then there was a tremor and a thud, and the fierce and tenacious beast finally fell to the ground.
The young man who had slain the beast watched in silence as the beast breathed completely, and suddenly turned around and saluted solemnly with his sword.
"Ling Qingyun, thank you Brother Xu for coming to the rescue!"
