At the edge of the dense forest, a lone wolf slowly poked out of the shadows, his head lowered and sniffed around, his two front paws scraping restlessly on the ground, and his glittering eyes were full of fear, caution, hunger, and greed.

After struggling for a long time, hunger and greed prevailed, first glanced left and right, then stretched out his long tongue and licked his fangs, and walked forward cautiously with his tail between his legs.

The lone wolf was about six feet long and three feet tall, and his blue-gray fur was now scorched black, and he had a long scar on his left hind leg, which had formed a black blood scab, and he limped when he walked.

What was its home ahead is now devastated.

On that day, the tall and green pine trees fell like wheat grass, and the loud explosion was deafening, and the fire and ice fell from the sky, blasting one crater after another in the earth.

The wolves fled in all directions, but within a few steps they let out a wail, either a pile of minced meat or charred corpses.

Just as it was about to escape from the sky, a spark somehow floated to it, and instantly ignited a raging fire, wailing in pain, rolling all over the ground, and a long cut in the slag on its leg without knowing it.

Suddenly rolled on top of a cloud of frost, and the flames gradually extinguished, but it also gradually fell into a coma due to its injuries.

Before it lost consciousness completely, it saw a red shadow in the sky in a daze, and its body was blazing, like a god.

The lone wolf finally arrived at the destination of this trip, in front of the corpse of a demon wolf that had been split in two. The corpse had not yet decomposed, and its internal organs were scattered all over the ground.

It looked around for the last time, then opened its bloody mouth and swallowed large chunks of blood, starting from its organs.

Suddenly, he moved his ears, stopped swallowing, looked up at the sky, and saw two long rainbows, one red and one silver, piercing the sky, stopping in mid-air not far away, revealing two figures, one green and one white.

The two seemed to be looking for something, and the cyan figure glanced at him. It was at this glance that the fiery red figure in the impression surged out, and a blur merged with the cyan figure above, frightening it to stand on end with hairs all over its body, and desperately fled for its life.

The two are Yuan Qing and Han Hongrui, who came all the way.

At this time, Yuan Qing released his divine sense, frowned slightly, and was about to speak, but saw Han Hongrui suddenly fly down and land in front of a pine tree on the edge of the clearing.

When the sword passed, he saw a small cyan sword mark engraved on the pine wood, and the tip of the sword was facing the direction of Hanjiabao.

"It seems that my brother has returned to the clan, so let's go back as soon as possible. Han Hongrui said to Yuan Qing with a happy face. Yuan Qing had no objection, and the two immediately turned around and flew towards Hanjiabao.

In the hall of Hanjiabao, Han Xin was sitting on the main seat and was giving instructions to Han Yu, when suddenly two rainbow lights, one silver and one red, fell on the square outside the hall, and then a cyan figure rushed into the hall.

Han Xin immediately got up when he saw the comer, took three steps and made two steps before coming to his side and stopped, and said with a smile: "Xiaorui, you are back." ”

Han Hongrui smiled, but when she saw Han Yu here, she immediately changed into a cold appearance, and Ying Ying bowed and said, "Brother Lao is worried." ”

Yuan Qing then [entered], saw Han Xin smiled slightly and arched his hand and said, "Family master." ”

"Hahaha, Senior Brother Yuan!" Han Xin saw that Yuan Qing laughed first, then stepped forward quickly and bowed: "Thank you Senior Brother for your help, this kindness, the Han family will be rewarded in the future!"

Yuan Qing helped Han Xin up and said: "The head of the family is serious, Yuan is entrusted by others, and this move is just a matter of duty." After a cursory glance, he asked, "Why don't you see Senior Brother Feng?"

Han Xin's face turned pale when he heard this, and he didn't answer, but turned around and said, "Han Yu, you go get busy first." ”

Han Yu bowed down and retreated with interest when he heard this, and Han Xin stretched out his hand and motioned for Yuan Qing to sit down and speak. After the three of them sat down, they slowly spoke: "Senior Brother Feng was attacked by a demon beast and unfortunately died. ”

Yuan Qing's brows furrowed when he heard this, and he said in a deep voice: "Please also ask the head of the family to tell me the details." ”

Han Xin knew that Yuan Qing had this question, and after a moment of silence, he slowly told how he met Feng Xifeng halfway, how he joined forces against the enemy, and how Feng Xifeng was attacked and killed later, and how he escaped death under the gaze of a group of demon beasts.

The more Yuan Qing listened, the more his face became gloomy, Han Hongrui was fine, it seemed that he had expected it.

After Han Xin finished speaking, Han Hongrui then said softly: "What I met before was that blue-backed giant wolf, its strength is by no means as simple as an ordinary fourth-level demon beast, and that white beast is even worse, if I hadn't exploded a few high-grade magic weapons, I'm afraid I would have been buried in the claws of the beast long ago." ”

Yuan Qing's face was gloomy after hearing this, and he thought for a while and said, "Dare to ask the family master, can this task be considered completed?"

Han Xin and Han Hongrui were both stunned when they heard this, and the latter immediately asked, "Is my junior brother specially coming to pick me up on this trip?"

"Let's talk about it," Han Xin glanced at Yuan Qing, then sighed and said, "Han didn't know that the situation was so serious before, and because of his lack of merit, he simply sent a reconnaissance mission. I originally wanted to go there in person and go back quickly, but now the situation is no longer something that a declining family like the Han family can deal with alone. I have reported to the sect and I believe that someone will come to help soon. As for the task, it is naturally completed, and the rest of the things can be decided by the junior and disciples, and it is up to them to decide whether to stay or go. ”

After hearing this, Yuan Qing fell into deep thought: the young man holding the sword has his own enthusiasm, and he has killed three black-clothed monks in a row before, which is the time when the fighting spirit is high;

Han Hongrui saw that Yuan Qing didn't speak for a while, her heart moved, and she said: "Speaking of which, I haven't officially thanked my junior brother for his help, so it's better to stay here for a few more days, so that I can fulfill the friendship of the landlord." ”

Han Xin was quite surprised to hear his little sister persuade him like this, but he didn't say anything after all; Yuan Qing hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.

The three of them chatted for a while, and Han Xin asked someone to take Yuanqing to the quiet room to rest on the grounds that he was "running around for days and working hard".

Yuan Qing knew that it was inconvenient for the brother and sister to say it in front of an outsider like him, so he didn't say much, and left with interest.

At this time, there was no one around, and Han Xin asked half-curiously and half-jokingly. "Xiaorui, why do you insist on keeping Senior Brother Yuan?

Han Hongrui listened to it with a slightly shy anger and said, "Brother, what are you talking nonsense!" and then said with a straight face: "You don't know yet, this Senior Brother Yuan is not simple." ”

"Oh, why isn't it simple?" Han Xin listened to what his little sister said seriously, and couldn't help but pay attention to it.

Han Hongrui recalled a little and said: "This person's cultivation is not high, but in the early stage of foundation building, but his swordsmanship is really extremely sharp, and his killing power is great, which is not much better than that of a monk in the late stage of foundation building." With just one sword, a second-level demon snake form is dissipated, and in less than a stick of incense, all the three evil cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building are slashed under the sword, and during this period, they can even be distracted to explore the surrounding environment, even if the elder brother is against him, the victory or defeat is still five or five, or when the inheritance weapon is used. ”

The more Han Xin listened, the more surprised he became, and finally involuntarily sighed: "Doesn't that mean that this person has the strength of the late stage of foundation building in the early stage of foundation building?"

Han Hongrui smiled slightly at this time, shook his head and said: "Nothing else is clear, but this person's current mana is far less sufficient than that of the late-stage cultivators, and the scope of divine thoughts is also much inferior.

"By the way, how are your injuries?"

"I have taken the Hui Qi Pill, and the injury is fine, but the sequelae left by this Burning Yuan Secret Method still need to be recuperated......

Yuan Qing didn't know that the two brothers and sisters would talk about his current strength after a conversation, and at this time he was sitting in the quiet room, his heart was in turmoil.

At first, I thought it was just a simple question of going to stay, but gradually I realized that it was not a simple matter of going to stay, but about making a choice.

Not long ago, "Lu Zhou Zhi" left a very deep impression on the young man's heart, so he was as strong as a sword in the face of the green snake, killing the enemy with one sword;

Leaving behind to kill the demon is of course to obey the heart, the idea is accessible, but if you are not careful, you will lose your life, between life and death, there is no child's play;

The teenager was in a dilemma and didn't know how to choose.

Xuanyuan, Consular Pavilion.

Since Senior Sister Bai Zhi personally released a demon slaying task a few days ago, there have been disciples in the middle and late stages of foundation building who have come to check it out, and many monks in the early stage of foundation building have also come to join in the fun, but they all left after reading the specific information, including Su Tianqi and Zhao Feiyan.

The mission clearly wrote: Hanjiabao's spiritual veins were invaded by demon beasts, and it has been found that there is a fourth-level demon wolf, a fourth-level demon snake, a raccoon cat beast suspected of carrying a bloodline inheritance, and several second-level demon wolves. A total of five people are needed, each with a thousand merits, and the demon beast materials do not need to be handed over to the sect, they belong to individuals, and those who have the first merit can enter the Ning Yuan Spirit Pool to practice for one month.

On this day, a tall and thin man wearing a moon-white thorn gold robe came to the consular pavilion, walked straight to the red list in the back hall, and after a little confirmation, he immediately took out his identity token, and took the task of killing demons without hesitation, and then walked away.

A moment later, a man in a navy blue robe, swaying left and right in a figure-eight step, this person had long and thin limbs, a big belly and a big head like a bucket, and after a little confirmation, he took the task and left.

After this person left, a burly man strode to the front of the list, this person was wearing a sleeveless short shirt, his dark arms were full of tendons, and his face was full of beard, and he left without looking at the task.

Not long after, a thin man dressed as a scholar held a folding fan in his hand, walked to the front of the list without hurrying, first looked up and down, and then stopped at the "Hanjiabao" task, read it carefully, took out the identity token, took the task, and then shook the folding fan lightly, and chanted poems all the way.

At the same time, there is a majestic Taoist temple on the top of a towering snowy peak.

There is a deep pool in the Taoist temple, the water of the pond is still clear in the wind and snow, there is no trace of freezing, there are several snow-white lotus plants growing on it, the flower branches are lightly spread in the ice and snow, swaying with the cold wind.

In a quiet room in the Taoist temple, a girl sat on a futon, and a girl of about the same age knelt in front of her, whispering something.

Dao Gu looks like she is twenty years old, wearing an embroidered lotus robe, no buns, green silk is scattered at will like tassels, her facial features are delicate like carvings, and her expression is like a goddess of the Nine Heavens, which is sacred and unapproachable.

The girl is wearing a water-blue embroidered Luo skirt, with a piece of red jade hanging around her waist, engraved with a fire phoenix, lifelike, a jade carved purple orchid hairpin will tie up her long hair, her face is as gentle as water, and her eyes are as clear as a mountain spring.

"Yes, Master. The girl said softly, and then in addition to the Taoist temple, she turned her hand and took out a crystal clear jasper lotus, pinched it with her hands, and the lotus rose to the size of one zhang in the air, holding up the girl and flying down the snow peak leisurely, the speed was extremely fast, and she disappeared into the mountains in a blink of an eye.

After a stick of incense, the girl fell in the consular pavilion, gently moved the lotus step to the back hall in front of the red list, took out the identity token, and swept lightly towards the task of "killing the demon", and then went out of the palace gate, released the jade lotus, and the clothes were fluttering, like a fairy leaving the dust, and disappeared into the sky.

Three days later, Yan Laifeng.

The five figures of four men and one woman each released magic weapons, turned into rainbow lights, and went all the way north out of the Xuanyuan Mountain Gate, heading straight to Hanjiabao.
