Chapter 58: Suddenly
After being nurtured by the beautiful scenery in the morning, and being startled by this fire brocade chicken, Ding Zhengyi obviously felt that his spiritual shackles were peeling off layer by layer, making him refreshed.
It didn't take long for the three Wu clans, who were in high spirits, to calm down, and their interest in the fire brocade seemed to fade slightly.
Seeing this scene, Ding Zhengyi made a timely proposal to continue to hurry.
Ding Zhongyuan and the three of them also knew the severity, they had no objection to this, and they all got up and prepared to leave.
But at this juncture, the way to deal with this fire brocade rooster caused Ding Zhongyuan and his wife to have a dispute.
Ding Zhongyuan thought that he should be killed first, and then put it in a storage bag to carry, otherwise the unique smell of the fire brocade rooster was likely to attract the peeps of other demon beasts.
Wu repeatedly emphasized that the value of the dead fire brocade chicken would be greatly reduced, in fact, her purpose Ding Zhengyi could be seen at a glance, that is, she wanted to take it with her and enjoy it at any time.
After all, the turquoise rooster with bright feathers looks really pleasing to the eye, which makes Wu and Xiaoqiu a little loved.
Seeing that the two of them did not give in to each other, Ding Zhengyi also had a headache, intellectually, of course, he supported Ding Zhongyuan's opinion, but in terms of the purpose of this trip, Wu's idea was not vexatious.
After all, a few people came out to play and relax, not to prepare for an adventure and treasure hunt, and to take the fire brocade chicken with them to enjoy it, which was originally a way to cultivate the mood.
"Then take the fire brocade**, I will explore the way in front, and you will follow behind. ”
Ding Zhengyi saw that Ding Zhongyuan had the intention of giving up and insisting, but he was embarrassed to change his words immediately, and he didn't want to waste any more time, so he immediately spoke.
"But as soon as there is any trouble, you will immediately be on guard to protect yourself, and I will deal with everything. ”
Ding Zhengyi thought about it, and he thought that with his existing means, it should be enough to deal with the crisis that might occur on this road, so after adding another sentence, he didn't delay anymore and turned around and left.
In this way, the four of them formed a strange combination, Ding Zhengyi led the way in front of him, he concentrated, sensed the surroundings, and was ready to deal with all kinds of unknown dangers at any time.
Wu and Xiaoqiu walked in the middle, and while enjoying the beautiful scenery, the two of them also lifted the fire brocade from time to time and pointed and whispered.
Ding Zhongyuan walked behind them, although he was also alert, he was obviously still attracted by the surrounding scenery, and he kept looking left and right.
In less than an hour, the four of them had climbed the hill and reached the foot of the hill on the other side.
After the episode of the fire golden rooster, they walked very smoothly, Ding Zhengyi's tense nerves gradually relaxed, and he also divided part of his mind to enjoy this scenery that was completely different from the plain where the family was located.
The scenery along the way is beautiful, so that Ding Zhengyi, who has never seen the scenery of mountains and forests since he was born, is a little lingering, not to mention the other three.
At this time, the four people who walked to the foot of the mountain kept looking back, and when Ding Zhengyi saw this, he simply asked everyone to stop and rest for a while, and then continue to hurry after eating something by the way.
Xiaoqiu immediately cheered, Ding Zhongyuan and Wu also kept nodding in agreement, and the four of them immediately found a big stone, took out the various foods they had prepared yesterday, took them out of the storage bag, and placed them on it.
The meal is very simple, and the exquisite lunch at home on weekdays is not the same, but everyone eats with relish, in the face of the beautiful and delicious scenery, everyone is full of taste, the conversation is quite high, and everyone seems to be in a comfortable mood.
It's just that Xiaoqiu's movements are a little funny, she clasps the neck of the fire brocade chicken with her left hand, and grabs the spiritual rice ball with her right hand.
When he was happy, the head of the fire brocade rooster, as Xiaoqiu's hand kept shaking, the two bean-sized eyes couldn't find the focus at all, and that appearance made Ding Zhengyi a little flustered.
With a stick of incense, the four of them ended the humble lunch with laughter.
Although they were still a little reluctant, the three of them still got up slowly under the urging of Ding Zhengyi and walked forward step by step.
There are still dozens of miles left, the four of them are still communicating, after a piece of Pingchuan, it is a stream, behind the stream is still a hill, the scenery along the way is similar to the front, but it can no longer be eye-catching.
Against the backdrop of the scenery in front, these originally decent environments are inevitably overshadowed at this time.
As the four of them came to the foot of the second mountain, they found that it was no less high or steep than the previous mountain, and the mood of the people, who had already calmed down, rose again.
However, Ding Zhengyi did not have the slightest carelessness, he continued the previous strategy of crossing the mountain, exploring the way in front alone, and at the same time keeping the three behind him cautious.
After that, the four of them walked along the rugged mountain road, turning east and west, winding through the mountains.
More than half an hour passed, and there were still no accidents.
Just when several people were a little relaxed and said something about various wonders, the fire golden rooster in Xiaoqiu's hand suddenly let out a wail.
This wail made Ding Zhengyi quickly wake up, and he quickly focused, and he immediately noticed a wave of demonic energy, which was rapidly approaching from their side and front.
This demonic qi fluctuates significantly, depending on the situation, it is at least a second-level demon beast, Ding Zhengyi shouted, reminding the three of them to activate the talisman seal At the same time, the unique light of the Yuan Qi shield instantly appeared on his own body.
Ding Zhongyuan and the three of them had just had a similar experience a few hours ago, and they were not flustered at this time, as soon as Ding Zhengyi's words fell, they simultaneously activated the intermediate talisman that had been holding in their hands.
Ding Zhengyi also turned around at this time, preparing to arrange a hidden formation for them, and he couldn't help but cry and laugh when he saw that Xiaoqiu still had the heart to hold the trembling fire brocade chicken in his arms.
Just as he was about to remind Xiao Qiu to pay attention to his safety and let him drop the fire golden rooster so that he could deal with the crisis, a shadow flashed from his side, and an inky blade of light immediately appeared in front of Xiao Qiu, and he did not allow any reaction at all.
Ding Zhengyi's eyes were about to split, and he flew forward, his powerful body was forged, and at this time, he sent out the ultimate power, and followed the shadow like thunder and lightning.
Seeing that ink-colored light blade quickly blended with the light of the vitality shield on Xiao Qiu's body with an instantaneous thunderbolt, it dissipated.
And the bloodless Xiaoqiu was panicked and dazed, her thin but powerful body was like a weed in the wind at this time.
Then the shadow came to the top of Xiaoqiu's head, and a pair of sharp claws the size of a foot grabbed into her arms.
Xiaoqiu didn't have time to dodge at all, and the moment she touched the claws, she flew backwards.
And the continuous wailing of the fire rooster also fell silent in an instant.
Just when the shadow grabbed the fire golden rooster, after a slight pause, Ding Zhengyi also arrived in time, he didn't hesitate, he was like a rabbit, and he bumped into it regardless of it.
At the moment of contact with it, Ding Zhengyi seemed to hit the mountain wall, and with his current defensive strength, he couldn't withstand the impact, and his whole body was in severe pain.
However, Ding Zhengyi didn't have time to check his injuries, he grabbed something with his left hand, and his right hand directly activated more than ten intermediate fireball talismans that had been pinching in his hand.
I saw a flash of red light, and more than a dozen fireballs emitting blazing light hit the shadow in a series of blows.
There was a fiery red in front of him, followed by a hiss that pierced into Ding Zhengyi's eardrum like a needle, making him dizzy, and his hand touching the storage bag again paused.
At the same time, the shadow in front of him rose in a gust of wind and staggered into the distance.
Ding Zhengyi shook his head vigorously, and immediately regained his senses, and then he looked at the shadow flying into the distance.
Seeing that its speed was far less than that of the gallop just now, and the outline of its body was also extremely clear, Ding Zhengyi realized that it was a giant eagle covered with inky feathers and wings spread wide.
At this moment, the giant eagle was still clutching the dying turquoise on a pair of claws as sharp as a sickle.
It wasn't until the giant eagle swayed and flew farther and farther that Ding Zhengyi lowered his head with palpitations, ready to check the injury, that he was shocked to find that he was holding several dark feathers in his left hand.
