Chapter 235: Camp

When the night passed, the morning light appeared, and the first rays of morning light in the sky fell again and illuminated this black mountain range, Zhong Qingzhu, Shen Shi and Xiao Hei had already left the peak where the cave was located and quickly leaned towards the direction of Lingxiao City.

Originally, in such a dark night, it was the most dangerous time in the remote mountains and wilderness of Black Crow Ridge, especially outside the invisible boundary five hundred miles away from Lingxiao City, all kinds of high-level demon beasts emerged one after another, and they became more and more dangerous under the cover of darkness at night, which could be said to be unguardable, far more dangerous than during the day.

However, perhaps it was because most of the high-level demon beasts around that mountain peak were attracted to that cave by Tianqi Zhu Guo and the Iron Winged Black Scorpion, and then they ended up in a broken body by mistake. So in this night's escape, Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu unexpectedly did not encounter any obstacles and dangerous beasts, and when it was dawn, they were already close to the invisible line.

However, running for his life overnight like this was of course not good for Shen Shi's injury, his complexion looked a little more degraded, and he staggered on the road, and many times Zhong Qingzhu had to help him cross the rugged mountain road.

On the contrary, after dawn, the number of demon beasts in the mountain range of Black Crow Ridge began to slowly increase, but there were no too high demon beasts on the same level, most of them were second-order and third-order, and fourth-order demon beasts had been around for a whole day, and they hadn't seen one.

Although some second-order and third-order demon beasts are also difficult, compared to the fourth-order Ning Dan high-level demon beasts that can fight with the masters of the divine artistic conception, of course, they are still much easier to deal with. So there was no danger along the way, Zhong Qingzhu and Xiao Hei teamed up from time to time, and finally returned to the side of the boundary safely.

When I arrived at the area within five hundred miles, it was obvious that the intensity of the surrounding demon beasts had suddenly dropped a lot, and there was no such particularly difficult guy, and sometimes even just letting Xiao Hei come out was enough to send away the demon beasts that came over to harass. This made Zhong Qingzhu and Shen Shi both breathe a sigh of relief, and soon the two of them found a secluded and safe place, planning to rest for a while.

Shen Shi examined himself and found that his situation at the moment was not very good, but it was not as bad as he thought before. At present, the spiritual power in his dantian is almost exhausted, almost nothing, naturally caused by the angry blow of the iron-winged black scorpion before he died in that pit yesterday, and he was forced to use the gold-patterned dragon armor when he was in danger.

The golden-veined dragon armor is his hole card at the bottom of the box to save his life and kill the enemy, and the power is extremely strong, and the consumption of spiritual power is also extraordinary, and last night, the demon pill of the iron winged black scorpion struck a blow, but it directly emptied all the spiritual power in Shen Shi's body, including the power of continuing the battle, and the power can be described as terrifying. Moreover, you must know that the Iron Winged Black Scorpion was even in a state of serious injury and dying at that time, if it was in its heyday, Shen Shi didn't even dare to imagine that he would have a chance to escape under the claws of such a powerful demon beast. But maybe it's because the iron-winged black scorpion is in that kind of situation where the oil runs out of lights, otherwise I'm afraid that he is already a dead person at this moment.

A sharp pain came from his chest, making Shen Shi's face pale and he snorted lowly. There was the place where he was most seriously injured, at least five or six bones were broken at the sternum, although the immortal family's magic method was endless, and this injury would naturally be healed, but just looking at the dragon pattern golden armor to protect him, Shen Shi still fell into this fate, and it can also be deduced that the strength of the iron-winged black scorpion is strong.

After making sure that the surroundings were temporarily safe, Zhong Qingzhu returned to Shen Shi's side, and after helping him carefully treat the injuries and take the extraordinary elixir that Shen Shi was carrying, she didn't delay any longer, and took out the harvest spirit materials that came over this time again and put them in front of Shen Shi.

The two of them gave in a few words, and finally after Zhong Qingzhu's insistence and discussion together, this pile of spiritual materials was divided into almost two parts, which were divided equally between the two of them; as for the three demon beast demon pills with the highest value, plus the one that Shen Shi picked up before, a total of four demon pills were also divided equally by the two of them.

Calculating the time, half of the trial time after entering the Black Crow Ridge has passed, and there are obviously not many disciples of the Ling Xiao Sect who have come to the vicinity of the five-hundred-mile boundary, perhaps because it is too dangerous here. And after getting the harvest of this batch of spiritual materials, neither Shen Shi nor Zhong Qingzhu had any idea of continuing, so under the protection of Zhong Qingzhu and Xiao Hei, the group began to walk back slowly.

About a day later, they began to see the figures of other Ling Xiao Sect disciples who had entered the Black Crow Ridge, but the two sides roughly only saw each other from a distance and then passed by, and the atmosphere between them was indescribably strange.

Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu would somewhat understand the reason in their hearts, now that the trial time is more than halfway through, it has basically reached the point where the competition is the most fierce and even white-hot, and in order to let many elite disciples adapt to the environment in the secret realm of Wentian half a year in advance, the Ling Xiao Sect has adopted a sitting back and even somewhat conniving attitude towards the competition between the disciples of the Ling Xiao Sect.

In this case, for the hope of cultivating in the future, and even for the great opportunity that may be able to change one's fate, even if it is a fellow disciple, there is a high probability that there will be conflicts.

Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu were almost satisfied with their harvest this time, so they had no intention of snatching the spiritual materials of other disciples, but the two of them were also very careful along the way, especially as they walked back, the more disciples of the Lingxiao Sect appeared in this mountain range.

This also made Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu more and more vigilant and cautious, but fortunately, they were lucky on this way back, and they did not encounter any special twists and turns, and Shen Shi's injuries began to gradually improve, which was due to his own solid foundation, but more because he took an elixir "Golden Tiger Pill" given to him by Zhong Qinglu before entering the Black Crow Ridge.

The Golden Tiger Pill is a three-grade elixir, which has a spiritual effect on the monk's internal and external injuries, and the Golden Tiger Pill refined by Zhong Qinglu is even more extraordinary, Shen Shi has one a day, and after three days, he feels that his injury has improved a lot, much faster than he originally expected, looking at this situation, he will probably recuperate for another three or five days after the trial, and he will be able to recover.

Zhong Qingzhu was also a little surprised by Shen Shi's recovery speed after being seriously injured, but after asking Shen Shi, knowing that many of them were the effects of the elixir refined by Zhong Qinglu, she came to her senses after looking at it, nodded in agreement, and didn't ask anything more.

In fact, Shen Shi was meticulous, and he could see the hint of doubt in the depths of Zhong Qingzhu's eyes, the three-grade elixir was very valuable, if it was obtained by casual cultivation, it would definitely be a treasure as important as life, even for a sect disciple like Ling Xiao Sect, an elixir like the Golden Tiger Pill was also a rare thing, and it was difficult to get it easily. As for giving it away directly and giving it away with more than one elixir, this favor is really extraordinary.

It's just that Shen Shi didn't know how to explain his friendship with Zhong Qinglu to Zhong Qingzhu for a while, or the "transaction" that only the two of them knew, so in the end, he remained silent after all.

The two of them didn't bother with anything about this matter anymore, but Shen Shi thought of it because he had never met those acquaintances since he entered Black Crow Ridge this time, Qinglu, Sun You, He Xiaomei, etc., and he didn't know what their situation was now. Speaking of which, on the night when he had just entered the Black Crow Ridge, he saw Gan Ze and joined forces with him to destroy the very difficult group of blood jackals. That Gan Ze, who had an incomparably noble family background, seemed to be the most outstanding man of his generation who had seen him in his life, and in terms of personality and ability, he was worthy of being known as the most outstanding genius of the younger generation of Ling Xiao Sect.

It's just that I don't know what kind of ranking my friends including that Gan Ze will get in the end in this trial?

Three days later, Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu, as well as Xiao Hei, finally walked out of Black Crow Ridge all the way without danger and came to the camp that the sect had agreed to build on the periphery of Black Crow Ridge in advance.

At this time, it was close to the deadline for the end of this trial, in addition to Elder Sun Mingyang and several other Yuan Dan Realm great people who presided over the trial affairs in the camp, Sun Hong, Wang Gen and other disciples of the Divine Realm were also quite numerous, and Shen Shi even happened to see Gan Wenqing's figure in the crowd, thinking that this time Gan Ze, the only seedling of the Gan family, also entered the mountain to practice, and she was concerned in her heart, so she also came here.

After entering the camp, Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu quickly found that although the two of them returned ahead of schedule, they were not the first trial disciples to return, and the number of Ning Yuan Realm disciples in the camp at this time actually had dozens of people, and they all seemed to be relatively leisurely, mostly wandering around the camp.

When I arrived at the camp, the atmosphere was naturally different from when I was still in the Black Crow Ridge Mountain, the atmosphere of fierce competition was also gone, and the communication between them was much more harmonious. After talking with a few of these disciples in the first place, Shen Shi also roughly figured out the situation here.

The disciples who returned to the camp after the trial early were close to thirty people, and a small number of them were seriously injured when fighting with the powerful demon beasts on the Black Crow Ridge, and they were unable to continue the trial and were sent back here to recuperate, but more of them felt that they had gained a lot of money and felt that they were almost there, so they returned to the camp and waited for the results of the trial. Among them, of course, there is also the reason for the competition of the same door, there are so many people, naturally some people are lucky and some people are unlucky, the harvest is uneven, if you stay in the Black Crow Ridge for too long, it is difficult to ensure that the spiritual materials you have worked so hard to obtain will not be directly snatched away by the same door with bad luck but high strength wall.

Therefore, returning to the camp early can be regarded as a way to settle down. As for whether these gains will be enough for them to achieve the final victory of this trial, it is a matter of opinion.

Anyway, in the end, it will be handed over to the sect for counting, and then it will be announced in front of all the trial disciples at the Guanhai Platform.

In addition to these things, Shen Shi deliberately paid attention to it, and found that several of his friends did not come back early, Zhong Qinglu, Sun You, and He Xiaomei were all like this, and Gan Ze was still on the Black Crow Ridge. In addition, from the mouths of these disciples who came back, Shen Shi also confirmed that the battle scenes he saw on the way back were indeed not accidental.

At the last moment of this trial, the move of taking the spiritual materials of the same sect to strive for a better ranking has begun to happen, which makes Shen Shi start to worry a little about a few of his friends, but the most important thing in front of him is that after returning to the camp, the sect will directly count his harvest this time.

All the spiritual materials harvested on the Black Crow Ridge will be counted and stored by the sect to determine the results of this trial, so Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu soon came to the place in the camp to specifically count these spiritual materials.

And standing there in charge of this matter was a man with extraordinary bearing, Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu both recognized this person, but it was the eldest son of the second generation of the Sun family, Sun Hong.

When he saw Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu coming over, Sun Hong's gaze swept over the two of them, first glanced at Zhong Qingzhu, and then stayed on Shen Shi's face for a moment, and said expressionlessly: "You two, bring the Ruyi bag." ”
