Xu Changan couldn't care about the others, so he ran out of the door directly and ran directly outside the city gate. Chai Xintong glanced at the dumbfounded Zhao Ergongzi, then looked at the direction in which the old monk ran, gritted his teeth, and finally followed Xu Changan out of the city gate.

Although it was almost winter, there was no silence outside the city. Whenever a cold wave hits, people always have to prepare food and coal for the winter, otherwise they will wait until the snow falls, and they will scatter it all over the ground, although it is beautiful but difficult.

People need to prepare things for the winter, and animals are no exception.

Winter is coming, the birds are flying south, the nesters are nesting, and the squirrels are more industrious, and every time they go out, they will fill their cheeks to the brim, and then put the hard-earned food into their nests.

Even the snakes moved, and they had to find a safe place to hibernate, otherwise they would be in danger of being picked up and boiled in the snake soup.

So at the end of autumn, the animals are also very lively.

Xu Changan stood outside the city gate, closed his eyes and listened carefully.

The city of Ling'an Mansion is very large, if you really look for five kilometers along all directions outside the city, I am afraid that when you find it, you can only be in time to offer a bouquet of flowers to the four of them.

The reason why cultivators are more powerful than ordinary people is that cultivation can stimulate the potential of the human body to the greatest extent, and it can also accommodate and use external energy to the greatest extent.

Xu Changan closed his eyes, silently inducted, his ears moved slightly.

100 meters, 100 kilometers, 2 kilometers. The sound within two kilometers was unusual, he heard the rats coming out to feed, and he also heard the green snakes lying next to the grass ready to attack.

Xu Changan was discouraged, he tried all his efforts, whether it was perceiving or listening, he used all methods, but he could only detect the situation within two miles.

Rats store food, snakes prey, and there is nothing wrong with it.

He frowned, if he really wanted to explore one by one like this, it might really be too late, and it was not easy to explore the northern important city that occupied a radius of five kilometers outside the city.

He looked behind him, the three big characters of the south city gate were vigorous and vigorous, but at this time he didn't have time to look at the other city gates, he looked back, feeling a little lost, Chai Xintong didn't seem to follow.

The gates slowly opened, and the sound of "creaking" was uncomfortable to hear.

The gates were closed as soon as the time came, especially for the towns close to the Northern Barbarians, the management was even stricter, and at night, even if the lord in charge of the palace came, he would not necessarily open the door.

Xu Chang'an and them are much more convenient to go out of the city, although they can't resist the sword for thousands of miles, but it is not uncommon for them to jump more than ten zhang in the Tongqi realm.

It's so late, and someone is still out of the house?

Xu Changan turned his head with doubts.

Those who can open the city gate at night, except for the spies who send emergency military intelligence, only the Confucius Temple is left there.

A gap was exposed in the door, Xiao Tong's head came out of the crack, he hugged Xiao Bai tightly with both hands, and ran over breathlessly: "Mr. Xu, Mr. Xiao asked me to send Xiao Bai here, and he went to investigate the North Gate and the West Gate." ”

Xiaobai looked a little sleepy, but when he saw Xu Changan, he jumped into Xu Changan's arms and hugged his chest tightly. Xu Changan didn't know what was a little painful, and when he opened his clothes, he saw that the jade pendant that Uncle Shi had kept close to him was glowing pale green at this time, and at first glance, he thought that his chest was glowing.

Xu Changan lifted Xiaobai lying in his arms, ignored Xiaobai's dissatisfaction, and patted his little head.

"Get up, help me sense if Fang Xiaoyu is here. ”

Xiaobai jumped to the ground, sending out an invisible coercion, expanding outward, and those small animals felt this coercion, like a mouse meeting a snake, a snake meeting an eagle, and they trembled with fright, and did not dare to move.

The pressure went like a tidal wave to a distance of seven or eight miles, and then it receded like a tidal wave, and the animals fled for their lives as if they had been forgiven.

Xiaobai couldn't tell if he was weak or really sleepy, he looked soft, shook his head, and jumped into Xu Changan's arms.

Xu Changan hugged Xiaobai and rushed towards the east gate, Xiaotong was not a cultivator, so he knew that he couldn't help, so he went back.

When Xu Changan arrived at the east gate, Chai Xintong, dressed in white and holding a folding fan, was already standing there.

His brow furrowed.

"They should be here, but I feel something strange, so I'm waiting for you to come along. ”

He didn't wait for Xu Changan to speak, then continued: "About four kilometers out here, there is a cave, I listened intently and found some problems. ”

Xu Changan has never seen such a dignified Chai Xintong, usually he has a hippie smiling face.

"Outside the east gate, within three to six kilometers, there were no animals except around the cave, and they seemed to have been driven away by something powerful. ”

As he spoke, his nose sniffed, "Do you smell anything strange?"

Xu Changan also closed his eyes and sensed carefully. "It smells of blood. The two of them glanced at each other, and swept directly towards the cave.

The sound of "woo-woo" and the sound of the wind blowing kept coming, but to their surprise, the wind at night was not as strong as they imagined.

The overwhelming black shadows, they kept fluttering their flesh wings in the air, their eyes were red, and it seemed that countless rounds of blood moons were hanging in the air, which made people shudder at the sight.

The heavy smell of blood came from the cave, Xu Changan was a little anxious, the scorching Fan was already in his hand, and there was a fiery red light surging on it, which seemed to be redder than the eyes of these bats.

Chai Xintong glanced at Xiaobai, who was a little weak in Xu Changan's arms, and wanted to say something, but finally held back.

Xu Changan didn't notice Chai Xintong's micro-expression, holding a giant sword, staring at these bats with both eyes and asking, "What are these things?"

Chai Xintong took his eyes off Xiaobai.

"This is called a blood bat, the strongest is no trick, but he has a characteristic. ”

Chai Xintong paused and glanced at Xu Changan.

"Ordinary people are bitten by it, if they can run out, go to the hospital to prescribe some medicine and recuperate, and they will be fine. However, if a practitioner is bitten and the toxin seeps into the body, then there will be a certain period of time when the mana cannot be used. ”

Xu Changan was stunned when he heard this, and Chai Xintong stared at Xu Changan.

In the face of bats in the sky, none of them dared to say that they were not injured at all, but if both of them were bitten, what would happen to the opening of the mound?

After all, Wang Xiaoming is not a stupid person, and that unknown old monk is not a stupid person. One less to enter, one more point to grasp the opportunity.

Moreover, they didn't need to investigate to be sure that Fang Cheng and the four of them were here. Otherwise, how could there suddenly be so many blood bats outside the dignified Ling'an Mansion.

"Are there no exceptions?" asked Xu Changan.

"Yes, after all, the grade is not high, and when you reach the late stage of Huixi or enter the Broken Sea Realm and reach the Little Grandmaster, these blood bats are no different from flies. ”

Xu Changan shook his head, this method is tantamount to whimsical for him now.

On the way of cultivation, when you enter the door and reach the realm of enlightenment, you can become the leader of a small sect and become an immortal who is worshiped by everyone. How many people have been trapped in this step, if they want to take a step forward, it depends on the sky, let alone become a little grandmaster and the like.

The major grandmasters on Shu Mountain all said that Xu Changan was a spirit sealing sword body, and if it was completely unsealed, his talent would be extremely high, but no one dared to say that Xu Chang'an would inevitably become a grandmaster after being unsealed, and even the little grandmaster did not dare to guarantee it.

The cultivation journey was full of accidents.

Chai Xintong could see Xu Changan's entanglement, and finally opened his mouth: "It's just a few mortals, or we pretend not to know." ”

Chai Xintong's heart was pounding, and his eyes were staring straight at Xu Changan, he was afraid that Xu Changan would say the answer he didn't want to hear.

Xu Changan raised his head, his face resolute.

"Why are you helping me?"

"Master's order, Master listens to Master. ”

"Can I believe you?" Xu Changan and Chai Xintong's eyes met.

"Yes!"

When Xu Changan heard this, he pulled his sleeves, revealing his strong forearms, and held the long sword tightly.

"Then I'll go in, and I'll throw the people inside, and you have to pick them up. Xu Changan said.

Chai Xintong nodded. "And you have to make sure that you don't get hurt in the slightest, can you? Xu Changan continued.

Chai Xintong smiled, smiling very freely, and a little heroic: "The ancients often said: 'The king will show me in the future, how can I bear the king?'" As he spoke, with a wave of the folding fan, a cyan light flew out.

"I'll make a way for you, fast forward. As he spoke, the corpse of the blood bat fell to the ground as if it were raining.
