After a long time of incense, Yue Ling'er put away her sobbing and looked at Yan Ning with a blank face embarrassed.

Then, she told a series of tragic encounters such as how she was framed in Danfang, how she entered Minshan under the abduction of the three people, and what a difficult situation it was, and how she escaped the pursuit and killing of the three people.

Through her description, it is like an ignorant girl growing up in a sinister environment, with endless grievances and stubbornness, and swearing to fight against unfair fate.

In the end, I also intentionally or unintentionally mentioned that I am now in a difficult situation where I have just come out of the wolf's den and entered the tiger's mouth.

After Yan Ning listened, he nodded expressionlessly: "It's not easy for you." ”

"Brother Yan, you can finally understand Ling'er's hardships!" the girl said with great surprise as if she had found a confidant, and immediately changed her expression to another one.

"Heh, just like you, it's really not easy to survive until now. Yan Ning sneered, this is not the first time she has encountered such a situation along the way.

"Huh?"

Yue Ling'er's mouth was wide open, obviously she didn't expect Yan Ning to be so hard-hearted, this was not what she imagined...

Shouldn't it be a smile and a grudge, forgetting each other in the rivers and lakes?

"If you lose the elixir, you don't want to fool the past. For the sake of your somewhat useful journey, I can spare your life, but you have to come up with the corresponding spirit stones as compensation. Yan Ning said after thinking about it.

Hearing that Yan Ning asked her to take out the spirit stones, Yue Ling'er suddenly felt as if the sky had fallen, that was thousands of spirit stones!

So he gritted his teeth and snorted: "Who said that the 'bitter root' was lost!"

"Oh, do you have a way to find it?" Yan Ning was a little surprised.

"Of course there is a way, I'm afraid you won't dare to go!" Yue Ling'er raised her chin proudly.

Yan Ning restrained his hands and said lightly: "The extremely clumsy radical, say it, where is it." ”

"Let's talk about it first, if I find it, we'll be clear, and you can't embarrass me anymore!" Yue Ling'er stared at Yan Ning cautiously and reacted.

Yan Ning nodded.

Yue Ling'er packed up her things, took out the map and looked at it for a while, and said angrily: "Follow me!"

Half a day later.

Yue Ling'er took Yan Ning and sneakily hid under the rocks in a bamboo forest.

"Brother Yan, can you see if there are any places around here that are not so lush?" Yue Ling'er whispered.

Yan Ning released his divine thoughts to investigate carefully, and sure enough, he found a yellow and sparse woodland.

"Three miles to the east, there is a withered bamboo forest. Yan Ning said.

"Really, fake?" Yue Ling'er obviously didn't believe that Yan Ning's divine thoughts could extend so widely, almost more than her.

"You said that your opinion is, as for the truth or falsehood, we will find out later!" Yan Ning inadvertently exposed the power of his divine thoughts, and did not want to explain too much, so he urged.

Yue Ling'er sorted out her thoughts and explained carefully: "The biggest feature of 'Bitter Xuangen' is that it likes to absorb the rhizomes of other plants as nutrients to strengthen itself, except for the associated 'Yin Star Grass', the plants around it cannot escape its ingestion. And the most lush vegetation with rhizomes in the vicinity is only this bamboo forest. ”

"According to what you say, isn't the spirit of the demon beast that transplanted it surprisingly high? No matter what, there will always be a fifth or sixth order of cultivation, right? Also, how can you conclude that this spirit grass is still there and has not been devoured?" Yan Ning didn't know what to do, and asked a few questions in a row.

Yue Ling'er looked at Yan Ning in surprise, and there was a hint of disgust in her eyes.

Yan Ning can see it clearly, and he must be disgusted.

Sighing, he patiently explained, "Demon beasts are different from humans, they are innate and able to distinguish which elixirs are useful for them and what kind of environment they are suitable for finding. This is an innate instinct, which is dictated by nature, and does not need to be learned and mastered over time like a monk. Perhaps this is the way of balance in the dark, in the heavens. ”

Xu felt that the topic was too far away, and turned back and said: "The greatest effect of 'bitter root' is that it can stimulate the bloodline and stimulate potential, and it is mostly used by monks to temper the body. Its medicinal properties are long, and it needs to be refined and absorbed for a long time. Even if it was the fifth- or sixth-order demon beast you mentioned, it would be impossible to swallow it directly. Moreover, its medicinal effect is only useful for demon beasts below the fourth order, so the most likely thing is that the peak demon beasts of the fourth order are transplanted and used for advanced purposes. ”

"Are these all what you saw in the classics, or did you speculate?" Yan Ning asked as she looked at Yue Ling'er with some surprise.

In the past few days, he has tried to look at this girl a few times, but he didn't expect her to have such knowledge. seems to be a simple truth, but it goes straight to the essence of the problem, and Yan Ning feels that there seem to be a lot of things that he needs to strengthen in the future.

Yue Ling'er saw this kind of expression for the first time on Yan Ning, and felt that she had finally been fully recognized, and said very proudly: "How is it! Miss Ben is amazing!"

"It's okay, I didn't know until I saw it. Yan Ning turned his head and said lightly.

"Just take a look, let you know how powerful Miss Ben is!"

After Yue Ling'er finished speaking, she carefully drilled out of the rock and walked in front to lead the way, as if she couldn't wait to confirm her inference just now.

Come to the yellow bamboo forest.

I saw that on the stone wall in front of me, there was a dark hole with a width of a few feet. At the entrance of the cave, a withered grass with an exposed rhizome swaying in the wind, it was the 'bitter root' that the two had been looking for before!

After covering his figure, Yan Ning instructed Yue Ling'er, "You go to the entrance of the cave and have a look." ”

"Why am I! You promised me before that you would write off the spirit grass when you found it! You are going back on your word!" Yue Ling'er whispered through gritted teeth.

"When did I say yes?"

"You're overnodding!"

"I nodded in consideration, and now I'm telling you the result of my deliberations. Yan Ning casually took the 'Wind Thunderfall' in his hand and played with it, and glanced at Yue Ling'er.

"You're taking revenge! You're jealous that I know more than you!" Yue Ling'er's words were straight to the point, and she could see it very clearly.

"You think too much, I'm recycling. Yan Ning moved the 'Wind Thunderfall' forward by another half an inch.

Yue Ling'er's face was full of unwillingness and grievance, her fists were clenched, and her little face was red.

She felt that she was so naïve, when did she start to reason with this demon.

"Brother Yan, I'm afraid of the dark, and I'm afraid of death!" This was her last struggle.

"I can't hear what you're saying. ”

“.......”

"What about you!"

"I'm keeping an eye on you from behind you to prevent you from being attacked. Yan Ning's tone was a little encouraging.

Yue Ling'er put the brocade on his head with a resigned face, and leaned towards the entrance of the cave slowly.

"This is for you, don't make too much noise this time. ”

Yan Ning thought about it, handed out his black shield, and didn't forget to tell him when he was ready.

After Yue Ling'er took the shield and tried it, she knew that it was a top-grade defensive magic weapon, and her face relaxed a little, but she still muttered all the way and turned back from time to time, glaring at Yan Ning fiercely.

Finally came to the entrance of the cave, pointed to the dark hole with his finger, and pointed to the 'bitter root' at his feet, which seemed to mean that he didn't need to go into the cave to check, just pull the spiritual grass and run.

Yan Ning shook her head cautiously and motioned for her to move on.

From the moment he first approached this bamboo forest, there was a faint sense of crisis in his heart, which he had never encountered before. I believe that Yue Ling'er, who has a clear mind, can also feel it. Otherwise, I wouldn't even be able to say any nonsense that is afraid of the dark.

It's not that Yan Ning deliberately wants to treat her as an outcast, otherwise he wouldn't have lent out his only best defensive weapon.

It's just that in such an environment full of unknown dangers, it is always necessary to figure out where this threat comes from before making corresponding deployments. Even if he was attacked by a sneak attack, Yue Ling'er, who had a slightly lower cultivation, was the first to bear the brunt.

Rather than this, it is better to take the initiative to lure the enemy to show up and deal with it head-on.

The sense of danger that the cave entrance gave him was not as big as that of the spirit grass, so it should be the safest plan to lure the enemy.

After a while, he saw Yue Ling'er quickly rush out of the cave and go straight to Yan Ning.

There was no expected screaming and roaring, only Yue Ling'er, who was full of panic, dragged Yan Ning's arm and whispered in a panic:

"Brother Yan, go, go!"

"What's going on inside!!" asked with a frown.

"It's such a big snakeskin, it's just shed......"

Before Yue Ling'er finished speaking, Yan Ning's expression twisted, and she grabbed her arm and quickly retreated.

A loud "boom!" rang out.

A cyan shadow fell from the sky, striking hard at the place where the two had landed before.

The cyan shadow was not a physical object, but was transformed by mana, and it looked like a snake's tail.

After Yan Ning dragged Yue Ling'er to dodge, the second attack followed.

In just a few moments, seven or eight attacks fell one after another.

Fortunately, he relied on his powerful divine thoughts to detect the trajectory of Qingying in advance, and then relied on his strange body method to avoid the past dangerously.

It's just that the two of them were a little disgraced by the dust and smoke and mana fluctuations raised by this, and they looked very embarrassed.

After the dust and smoke cleared, several ravines more than half a foot deep appeared on the ground, intertwined together and terrifying, and there was a faint smoke coming out of it, which was enough to see how terrifying and rapid the attack was just now.

At this point, above the heads of the two.

A small emerald green snake with a length of about a foot is entrenched on the top of the bamboo, and its tail hangs down to aim at the two of them.

The snake's eyes are dark and dark, the letter is scarlet, but the small body exudes an incomparably terrifying demonic aura, which makes people's hearts palpitate!

"Fifth-order demon beast, bind Zhuqing!" Yue Ling'er's face turned pale, and he called out the name of the demon beast with some trembling.

Yan Ning also looked gloomy, and his heart was nervous.

It was a smooth ride before, but I didn't expect it to be like running out of luck.

Yue Ling'er had just molted from the said hole, thinking that it was the masterpiece of this demon beast, if she could come a month earlier, maybe she would be able to take advantage of this fang to advance, and pick up a big bargain.

Now it's a fifth-order demon beast, even if it's just advanced, it's also the existence of the Jindan stage!

It doesn't seem to be so easy to escape.
