II. XXXIV. Mandrill

Above the clearing, several people were still entangled with monsters, but the frequency of harassment by those monsters gradually decreased, and the battle circle slowly spread towards the bank of the creek.

Yu An took the initiative to approach the darkness with the Fenglin Immortal Sword in his hand and the clear space, after some time of fighting, they have also figured out the attack rules of these monsters, it can be said that these monsters are not lethal to them, but they have been harassing in a roundabout way, and it is also very headache to take advantage of the night.

The light of the Fenglin Immortal Sword pierced the night sky from time to time, and then there was a black shadow flashing to avoid, and the reincarnation bead in the clear space was also extraordinary, and where the Buddha's light shone, the monster was even more frightened.

Facing the two disciples with a high level of cultivation, the monsters in the darkness gradually seemed to understand that they were not to be provoked, and they rushed towards the stream, and it seemed that there were signs of retreating.

Yu An suddenly flew forward, the Fenglin Immortal Sword was like a blazing flame, and the stream below seemed to be boiling, and with a "boom", it suddenly exploded a column of water several feet high. Countless water droplets, water splashes scattered and flew in all directions, as if forming a layer of water curtain.

Several fleeing black shadows in front of the stream suddenly suffocated, and a few strange screams came. However, soon they jumped one after another, and their bodies were also covered by dense water droplets.

"Whoop.......

The next moment, countless droplets of water fell into the stream again, bit by bit, as if it had rained.

All was quiet again.

At night, only the sound of the murmuring of the stream echoes in the mountains and forests.

Yu An glanced at the creek, which was several feet wide, couldn't help frowning, and looked vigilantly into the darkness on the other side of the stream, for a long time, there was no sound.

At this time, Jingkong also rushed over, glanced at Yu An's gaze, and said in a deep voice: "These monsters have rough skin and thick flesh, and their bodies are agile, I'm afraid they jumped across the stream and ran away." ”

Yu An was silent for a moment, it should be the second half of the night now, and he didn't know what danger would be next, so he said in a low voice: "Since the monster has retreated, let's go back quickly!"

Qingkong nodded and said, "Okay." ”

The two chased the monster for some distance, but they didn't lose their way as they went up the stream. After a while, he found a familiar yellow mangs circulating in the distance, which was the light emitted by the death disk.

At this time, the rest of the disciples were in the aperture, Yu An looked at the number of people, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "None of you are injured, right?"

Before everyone could speak, it was Lin Yi who drooped his face, covered his forehead with one hand, and said bitterly: "Senior brother, they are all fine, I am injured alone!"

Yu An suddenly frowned, stepped forward to look, and saw that on Lin Yi's forehead, a bulge the size of an egg was swollen, red and blue, but it was fine, so his expression eased and said, "What's the matter?"

"Those monsters are too despicable and obscene, and they don't dare to fight, I scolded them twice, and they threw stones at me, oops!" Lin Yi said, as if he had touched a wound, and immediately grinned and cried out in pain.

Hearing this, Yu An's face stiffened slightly, as if he was embarrassed, the outstanding disciple of Lingyun Sword Pavilion could be injured by a stone thrown out, not only did he say it in front of so many people, but he also looked very aggrieved, it can be said that he had lost his teacher's face, and he couldn't help but stare at himself secretly.

The clear space on the side looked at it, folded his hands, and said slowly: "These monsters have great strength and a little wisdom, I'm afraid that my senior brother's reincarnation disk was also shot down by stones." If Senior Brother Lin was careless for a while, it is normal to be injured by this thing. ”

Yu An nodded, then suddenly frowned, was silent for a moment, and said suspiciously: "What is this thing that can use stones like this, and its body is close to people, but it is not like ordinary mountain monkeys, and it is not close to us in the dark?"

Headroom is also shaking its head.

In fact, their cultivation is quite high, and those black shadows dare not get close and it is difficult to get close, plus the night is dark, so they can't see their faces clearly.

"It's mandrills. ”

Yu Xinshuang suddenly opened her mouth and glanced at Jiang Ming, Jiang Ming seemed to sense her gaze and looked at her, but she turned her head and didn't look at it again, and said lightly: "Senior Brother Jiang once got close to that monster, according to his description, those monsters are the "mandrills" described in ancient books, also known as "mountain ghosts". ”

Yu An and Jingkong were both stunned for a moment, and only said after a while: "It turned out to be this monster, and it was really very difficult." ”

"These monsters don't seem to have the intention of harming people's lives......." Speaking of this, Yu Chenshuang's face turned cold, and he said: "In the chaos just now, our dry food and luggage were stolen. ”

The rest of the people already knew, so they were quite calm, Yu An and Jingkong were slightly changed, and after some searching, sure enough, there was only one bag of dry food left, and it was because Tie Zhen's body was accidentally pressed when he was asleep, so he was not robbed.

Everyone couldn't help sighing, in the chaos just now, Tie Zhen didn't wake up, so he kept the only dry food, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, even if this bag of dry food has been crushed by him to deform and crumble, but now everyone doesn't care, and it is still properly kept.

Jingkong clasped his hands together, chanted a Buddha horn in a low voice, and said: "Fortunately, I just lost something outside my body, and no one was injured, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune." ”

The crowd was silent.

The young disciples of their group suffered this change on the first night they entered this Liuyun Mountain, and they lost eight or nine out of ten of their belongings, and their hair was also slightly messy at the moment, looking a little sluggish.

Jingkong sighed slightly, looked up at the sky, the moon was sinking in the west, and the night was no longer deep, so he said to everyone: "It's almost dawn, you should quickly rest for a while, I'll be on duty for the night." ”

Although there is a clear night in the back, most people have no sleepiness after the toss just now, except for Tie Zhen who smiled honestly, and then fell asleep again.

Jiang Ming sat next to Li Mengru, recalling the dangerous scene just now, he still had palpitations, and couldn't help but put his eyes on Yu Xinshuang's face, under the faint moonlight, I saw her frowning lightly, looking into the distance, and I didn't know what she was thinking.

And so the night went away.

The dew on the leaves of the trees slowly fell drop by drop, and the first birdsong of the morning was ushered in in the mountains and forests.

After the attack of the mandrills, the second half of the night was relatively peaceful, and at this moment everyone woke up one after another, went to the creek to wash, and the refreshing coolness suddenly came to their hearts.

After all, the group of people belong to the cultivation of the truth, they have sufficient qi and blood, and their physique is higher than that of ordinary people, after a simple grooming, the sluggish appearance of last night has disappeared, and they are quite radiant in the face of the rising sun, but a bulge on Lin Yi's forehead is a bit of a big scene.

At this moment, Yu An and Yu Xinshuang stood in the distance discussing where to go to find the lair of the Demon Sect, while he was still squatting on the edge of the stream and gently rubbing and washing, saying something like "It's too wrong".

Li Mengru rarely saw him look pitiful, and couldn't help laughing, "What do you have to be wronged about?"

Lin Yi glanced back at her, looking a little puzzled, and said, "Senior Brother Tie Zhen is okay to stay there and sleep, but I was beaten up and down, do you say wronged?"

Tie Zhen on the side smiled and scratched his head, not knowing what to say.

Li Mengru laughed even happier when she heard him say this, but she stopped laughing for a moment, and said, "Who made you talk nonsense every day, I think you deserve it!"

Lin Yi suffocated for a moment, then smiled evilly, and directly picked up the stream water with his hand and sprinkled it towards Li Mengru.

Li Mengru couldn't dodge, and suddenly there were a few more droplets of water on her face and body, and she gritted her teeth and said, "You, what are you doing!"

Lin Yi smiled proudly, and when he lowered his eyebrows and was about to hold the water again, his movements suddenly stopped, and his face froze inexplicably.

Li Mengru was angry and also noticed his strange appearance, only to see that his face was gradually covered with suddenness and fear, and it didn't look like he was deliberately doing something, so he didn't care about the trouble just now, and said in a soft voice: "What's wrong with you?"

After a while, Lin Yi still didn't look back, still squatting by the stream in a daze, hanging his head. From a distance, he vaguely seemed to swallow saliva.

Li Mengru, Tie Zhen and Jiang Ming, who were standing behind Lin Yi, all became solemn, according to Lin Yi's temperament, he really didn't know what would make him show such a demeanor.

The three of them stepped forward slowly, and when they got closer, Lin Yi didn't know whether he felt the footsteps, or came back to his senses, and suddenly turned around and looked at the three of them, but his face was very abnormal, he opened his mouth, and said with some astringency: "Senior Brother Xu, he ......"

Jiang Mingden frowned, Li Mengru was also puzzled, and continued to ask, "What's wrong?"

Lin Yi didn't reply again, just looked at the place he was staring at just now.

Jiang Ming sighed and followed his gaze, but saw that the stream was clear, and there were all kinds of strange-shaped stones all over the bottom, and one of the diamond-shaped gravel was sharp with a trace of cyan string.

At the end of the string were two white and flawless delicate jade pendants, each with a pattern of a sycamore leaf, and at this moment, lying quietly at the bottom of the water.

The three of them were shocked, they had all received this kind of jade pendant, and they naturally knew that this was not only a token of Wutong City, but also a token to enter Wuxin Courtyard to observe the stone stele.

And these two jade pendants are lost here, the reason behind this, I'm afraid you don't need to think about it.

At this time, Yu An and the four seemed to have discussed things, and walked to this side together, and found that the other four were still standing by the stream for some reason, Yu An asked first, "What's wrong?"

When Lin Yi heard Senior Brother's voice, he immediately reacted, stood up suddenly, pointed to the stream, and shouted, "Senior Brother, come and see!"

Yu An was slightly puzzled, glanced at the other three people around him, and then walked over together and looked at the stream.

When they saw the jade pendant in the water, they were all shocked, and then their faces were complicated, and Yu Xinshuang's body shook imperceptibly, and her beautiful face suddenly became bloodless.

Yu An stared at the bottom of the water, frowned, and after a while, said in a deep voice: "This jade pendant is here now, I'm afraid Senior Brother Xu ......"

Before he finished speaking, at this time, Yu Xinshuang suddenly stepped forward, scooped up two jade pendants, and regardless of the water stains on them, he just held them in his hand and said coldly: "Let's go." With that, he was the first to leave the stream.

Jiang Ming looked at her back, his hands under his sleeves were clenched tightly, and his knuckles were white and terrifying.

Everyone was silent, and after a long time, they hurriedly followed.
