Chapter II

The sun slowly set, and the brilliant brilliance slowly dyed a little vermilion, so that the forest gradually darkened, and the insects and birds spoke more clearly, and even the low roar of unknown animals could be heard.

What woke him up was the cool wind and the smell of dirt and grass close at hand, which made his body wake up quickly after a long sleep, and then opened his eyes with difficulty, reached out and patted his face and body, patted the leaves and mud and grass stuck to his body, and grabbed around to prop himself up from the tingling sensation from the ground.

Ah, my whole body hurts, and my whole body feels like it's falling apart.

Hong Du looked at the strange surroundings, how could he be in this place?

Although the light was dim, I could see all but the trees around me, and the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the leaves was also very obvious.

By the way, Hong Du remembered that he was hit by a silver wolf from a cliff and fell, and in the process encountered strange things, and finally landed in a forest.

"Ahh ”

He smiled happily, what could be happier than that.

By the way, what about my props.

After walking a few steps, he found a very abrupt branch emerging from the soil not far in front of him, no, it was better to say that it was a branch that had been inserted into the soil, and its appearance was very similar to the branch he saw in the group, except that there was no golden light, and there was an extra shoot.

Suspicious, Hong Du slowly approached it and crouched down to observe it.

Indeed, if you throw away the color and the shoot, it is exactly the same as the branch.

Then he touched it lightly with his fingers, and a touch like nephrite came from between his fingers, and a faint green light emerged from the branches, flowing into his body along Hong Du's fingers, and the familiar squeezing sensation came again.

That's right, it's the sapling!

It's a slight feeling, but it's not wrong.

The pain of one's own wounds is peeled away from the body little by little, and it is indeed a prop that can heal the player anytime and anywhere, or this healing power is one of its abilities.

The continuous comfort did not let go of the fingers against the branches, and the green light was constantly squeezed out.

"Whew~"

Hongdu let go of the branch and stood up and took a long breath, feeling the fatigue in his body being spit out, he twisted his shoulder, his body was no longer in pain, it seems that his health and health have almost recovered, if you keep touching it, you will soon be able to recover completely.

However, the color of the green shoots faded significantly, and Hong Du's heart thumped, don't damage the props because of your actions.

All in all, no matter where this is, no matter what state you are in now, just put the props in your backpack after identification, after all, you don't know how long you have been delayed, and I hope there will be no unnecessary trouble in the future.

In the game, only the props put into the backpack can be stored for a long time, and if you don't put it in the backpack for a long time, it will automatically disappear, which is also the obvious difference between the game and reality made by the game official according to the requirements of the game law. Although the item can be used without identification, it is impossible to see the function description, values and attributes, and it is easy to cause damage to the item due to improper use, which is also the reason why Hongdu's heart beats violently when he sees the green shoots of the branches suddenly dim.

Looking at the branches inserted in the soil, Hong Du thought that in the past, the identification props only needed to slowly crush the clump object, but the clump was gone, and now he could only use the identification talisman if he laid it, and he didn't know if he could still withstand the consumption of this prop now.

Hong Du thought of what little wealth he had left, and the pain that had been healed seemed to strike again.

It takes 30 seconds to 3 minutes for players to identify the item by hand, that is, to crush the clump, depending on the quality of the item. The official has a very strange setting for the identification of props, which is similar to the martial arts in martial arts novels, and if they are interrupted when they are about to succeed, they will be counterattacked, or even go crazy. Identifying items in the annual rings will greatly reduce the item's attributes if it is interrupted.

And in the case of being surrounded by players before, it is impossible not to be interrupted.

And the item that can omit this process and directly obtain props is the identification of immortal talismans.

Depending on the quality of the item, the amount required is also different, plus any high-quality equipment and consumables and props in the game cannot be obtained directly from the monster, and the only way is to use the materials dropped by the monster after death to build and craft. The materials used to make the Identification Talisman are the same as the Resurrection Talismans, and they require a large number of high-grade materials, so they are quite valuable items.

If you can't, you can only sell some of the items on your body, and then buy them back.

Hong Du looked at the branches on the ground, if you can make it into equipment or sell it directly, you should be able to get a lot of rewards, the only item dropped by the world's most powerful monster is definitely special, at least you can spend a lot of time comfortably.

Hong Du shook his head, shaking off his future fantasies and other thoughts, since there was no way to know its properties immediately, all he had to do now was to put it in his backpack and walk out of the forest, and return to his home through the post station to identify it.

Although I was worried that it would be damaged in the process of manipulating it without knowing its specific properties, there was no other way but to do so.

Transferring items to the backpack is very simple and familiar to every Year Ring player, not just grab the item and put it in the backpack, there are only two ways to transfer the item to the backpack in the Year Ring, one is to hold the item with your finger for three seconds, and then drag it to the backpack option. Another, simpler way to do this is to press your finger down on the item for three seconds and then say the word 'recycle' to recycle it back into the backpack.

When I used to hunt, I kept talking about recycling, but I was laughed at by people passing by, and since then I have never used my voice to operate in crowded places.

Touching the branch again, but this time there was no squeezing sensation that wrapped him, obviously he had just healed himself and had exhausted the energy in it, hoping not to affect the quality of the item.

Three seconds was very fast, and then Hongdu said, "Recovery." ”

Then a gust of wind blew, nothing happened, the branches were still stuck in the soil, and Hongdu could still feel the jade-like touch between his fingers.

He tilted his head and stared at the branch, which seemed to stare strangely at him.

Odd......

What about the other way?

Hongdu lets go of his hand and presses it again, while the other hand slides from the bottom up in the air, this is the gesture that calls the menu in the annual ring, the character is familiar, the backpack, skills and player-related columns can all be found here, and then just find the backpack, and then drag the hand holding the branch to the backpack option.

It's just that after Hongdu slided, another gust of wind blew, and nothing happened.

His expression was a little embarrassed, and he blew hard into the air before sliding again, and the air didn't seem to understand what he was going to do, so he could only respond to him with another gust of wind.

Hongdu stared blankly at the branches and the air that nothing had happened after he slided, and the branches and air seemed to look at him blankly—the scene fell silent.

"Well, is it because my operation is not standardized? ”

Hongdu repeated the previous two ways, but still nothing happened.

"Could it be an unknown glitch in the game?"

He stood up and prepared to slowly draw horizontal lines in the air with his hands.

Slowly drawing a horizontal line in the air is a game system-related operation, and you can also call the GM and report bugs.

If the game really fails, you can't afford to waste time here, so you have to apply to the GM for the privilege to forcibly transfer the branch to your backpack.

Without the slightest worry of sliding, it is impossible to even call up the most basic system operation, and it is illegal for players to be unable to log in and exit the game freely, and the game company will be greatly punished.

But it seems to be just joking with Hongdu, and nothing happened after Hongdu drew the horizontal line.

After waiting for a long time, I drew the horizontal line again, but there was still no response.

It was only when he noticed that not only could the menu be called, but also the character information, the minimap, and the information panels that could be found everywhere in the game had disappeared, and it looked as clean as if it were in the real world.

Hongdu felt quite uneasy, and all of them did not react, as if he had been deliberately excluded by the game.

"This, what the hell is going on!"

Hongdu's shouts echoed through the forest until they were gone.

I finally completed this last achievement, how could I encounter such a thing! Isn't this torturing myself?

Even if you're in a strange place, you can't take back the items, and you can't even check the map and your current status.

Is this teasing me!

Just because I killed the Celestial Tree that witnessed the history of the annual ring, you want to toss me like this?

But this question could not be answered, and it was really getting angrier and angrier to look at the branches that were close at hand but could not recover the backpack! He began to shout loudly and stomp his feet hard towards the ground, and suddenly the dust flew and the ground could not bear his anger and trembled.

"Ahh.......h Cough, cough, cough. ”

Surrounded by dust, Hong Du felt the difficulty of breathing, and couldn't stop coughing, he waved his palm to try to sweep away the dust in front of him.

"Ahem, why are you so choking! ”

Even the venting mood was stopped by the forest, Hong Du was angry, a feeling of dizziness from the heart down the trachea straight to the brain, he fell to the ground weakly, slowly crawled out of the dusty area, turned over and lay on the ground gasping for breath.

The smell of dust and trees churned in his lungs in the cold air, and the feeling of dizziness gradually subsided, and he remained motionless as if he had lost all his strength.

Calm, calm down. Anger will never solve the problem, you have to calm down quickly and think about it and deal with it.

Hong Du looked at the sky blankly to relax his mood, but suddenly thought of what if he couldn't even quit the game and died in the game warehouse!

As if responding to what I was afraid of, my brain recalls my life.

Ah, if you really die like this, it would be really pitiful.

Hong Du used deep breaths to adjust his state, constantly suggesting that this was just a temporary failure, and he had to accept the current situation.

Realistic games are not allowed to have such failures.,It's not worth the game company to ignore this kind of failure if you don't have money or power.,So you just have to wait quietly for a while.。

It's okay, it's okay, just wait a little bit - I just don't know if my body can withstand staying up for two days.

"Suck ~"

"Whew~"

Hong Du used the fragrance of plants and trees to constantly cleanse his lungs, so as to stabilize his cranky brain.

Although it was different from what I usually smelled, I was able to slowly suppress my anger.

It seems that I haven't breathed such clean air for a long time, and it must be very humid to have a strange smell, but the smell of grass and trees is very obvious.

After the transfer of thinking, the mood is obviously much more relaxed, and after the troubleshooting, I may come to this place often, just just lie on the ground and breathe fresh air and sleep, but I don't know that it is not far from the city where my house is located.

If the monster level here is very high and will actively attack the player, it will be troublesome, so it is good to investigate this place a little before leaving.

While looking forward to the end of the breakdown, I was unable to lie down and breathe, feeling the fragrance of the grass and trees.

Kindness.

The smell of grass and trees.

This faint fragrance.

Kindness?

Wait, the smell?

Hong Du did it violently, something was wrong, and then he quickly took a few breaths of air as if he had an answer.

That's right, a very obvious smell of grass and trees.

But in the annual ring, there is no such setting as a sense of smell, not to mention that the policy of realistic games does not allow games to make such a setting.

Pick up the grass on the ground and stuff it into your mouth and chew it...... Astringent, and earthy, even the sense of taste.

Hong Du looked at the sky stupidly, and his mind was even more confused now.

Can't call out the menu, the character information and minimap are gone, any game operation can't be carried out, clean and reality are no different, and then ...... You can feel the smell and taste. The feeling of the grass prickly on the body is even obvious to the touch.

An absurd answer popped up in Hong Du's heart,—— could it be that he had crossed by himself.

It can't be, it can't be.

Hongdu dismissed the idea, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was the real answer.

Walking back and forth in the forest, stepping barefoot on the grass, thorns and sticky feeling on the soil, this delicate and complex feeling is probably something that the game can't simulate.

Hong Du forcibly suppressed his anxiety and anxiety and seriously thought about the current problem.

Is this really a growth ring?

High technology brings richer life and entertainment to the people, but it will also cause real and virtual chaos, and even cause a series of social problems. For this reason, the state has deliberately formulated a policy in this regard, and it is necessary to distinguish between games and reality in a clear way. Therefore, it is impossible to feel the smell and taste in the game, and even the sense of touch has been minimized.

Thinking about it this way, the severe pain I felt when I fell to the ground before was not normal, and the delicate adhesion of grass and dirt to my body was something I had never felt in the game.

But these settings are something that no game would do, and it is already a blatant violation of the law, and absolutely no company will try to violate this bottom line.

So even if it's a malfunction, even if it's just me, it's impossible to feel the smell and taste.

But it's really very difficult for people to accept that they have crossed over, and it is impossible to think that it is a crossing because of some abnormal situations, then this kind of person is too fantasizing.

Hong Du suddenly thought of an idea, he could determine whether he had crossed over or not, although he could now confirm the answer by seventy percent, but he really couldn't accept it easily.

Well, give it a try and find out.

Hong Du looked left and right, making sure that there were no figures or even animals around, and then slowly moved to a tree to take a deep breath, quickly took off his pants, and peed.

"Sure enough, even excretion is okay, and this feeling of relaxation is ...... Ah, comfortable. ”

Now the answer is close to 90 percent, just try again at the end.

He slowly crouched down and slowly reached out to the wet grass.

Really, do you want to do that?

Wouldn't it be a little perverted.

No!

It has to be done, it's not perverted, it's about determining what the situation is!

He gritted his teeth and gripped at the grass, the slimy touch with the heat and the strange smell made him miserable, and at the same time 100% confirmed.

The feedback is so accurate and delicate that even the game is willing to take the risk of trying it.

This is definitely not the feeling that the game can give feedback, this is already a sense of realism that the game can't express, that is, you can only get feedback in reality.

Well, I did cross over.

He shook his urine-stained palm and crouched down away from the place where he had made his strange move, trembling all over, not knowing whether he was excited or afraid.

Or - shyness.

Hongdu wiped his palm with leaves, and although he couldn't clean it completely, he had lost his smell.

He leaned against another tree, staring blankly at the branches in the distance that had been stuck in the dirt.

There is a saying that if you come, you will be safe.

Anyway, having arrived at this place, the main quest is to survive in this world, and then look for opportunities to return to your original world.

He let out a long breath and looked at the slowly darkening sky to recall memories from earlier times.

The original world.

If there are dearest relatives, family members who have to take care of them with their responsibilities, then they must go back, and as long as they think that they can't find their own pain, they can't bear it.

But I don't have a family.,I don't have any particularly important friends.,Because I'm not good at communicating.,So even the communication with colleagues at work revolves around work.,I've never received invitations to socialize and other outings.,I'm afraid I'm a strange person who is not easy to get close to in their eyes.。

That's why the annual rings that were launched back then will make me so fascinated and crazy.,It's like giving yourself a chance to experience a new life.,I put all my time and energy into the annual rings in addition to normal life.,At that time, I was also looking forward to finding friends from the game.,But with the loneliness of the game, a few companions who often cooperate are not online.,I've become a person again.,Maybe I've always been a person.。

Is there a need to go back to such a world?

Hey, I really had a decent life in the past.

However, if you decide not to go back, then it is not impossible to start a new life in this world, but I don't know what kind of world this belongs to.

The branch in the distance seemed to agree with Hongdu's idea, and shook the topmost branch in the wind, as if nodding.

Also, one more thing.

Hong Du looked down at the outfit on his body, a thin and slightly dirty vest and a red and white coat like waves, wearing cropped pants of the same color as the coat barefoot, and a long red cloth belt tied around his waist.

physiognomy words. Because I covet the reward of the real-name system, the image of the task is the appearance of the individual.

That's right, it's not the real self that comes from the time, but the self in the game.

Since it's a game-

Hong Du clenched his fists, and a faint light of fire lingered around his arm.

Be in one's element. It's as if these skills have always been known to me.

I don't know what my combat power is in this world.,My own physical art profession that attacks the enemy through fists and feet.,Because the game is too long.,The achievements have all been achieved.,So the profession is super holy.,Sublimated into a martial saint.。

Can use the five elements of qi and heavenly thunder to strengthen themselves, is a combination of offense and defense, one-on-one and one-to-many are very strong professions, but also because of the profession can deal with the heavenly tree, it may not be possible to change to other professions, but the relative offensive ability and defensive ability are not as strong as a single-minded mastery.

However, their level and equipment are the highest level that can be reached in the game so far, and there are really not many players who can surpass themselves in terms of attributes.

In the past, the best time for a single record was to rank third in a twenty-two winning streak, and it can usually be maintained at thirteen to fifteen consecutive victories, but because it is only a single battle, the strength assessment is not accurate, and the comprehensive ranking only fluctuates around fifty.

Hey, at least you can communicate and change it, what if you can't even beat the beasts in the forest, this is something that is closely related to you at the moment.

He looked around and hoped that there would be a person, if only he could communicate with others and understand the world.

Moved his body and slowly lay on the ground, his ears on the ground to feel the natural breath of the forest, but his stomach suddenly growled, he patted his stomach, and the hunger continued to stimulate himself.

"The first time I felt that it was real, it wasn't so good. Let's go find something to eat, there should be fruit trees in the forest, and you have to find water, since it's the real world, survival is not as simple as in the game. ”

I stood up on my own, looking at the scene all around me and didn't know where I needed anything, but it was better than staying here all the time and exerting my mental and physical strength. It would be even better if you could meet a hunter hunting in the forest, and you must communicate with him when the time comes, although I don't know if the voice can be the same. And what if you encounter bandits and robbers instead of hunters, the terrible thing is that you can't beat them.

Ah, the more I think about it, the more problems I have, and there are already a lot of things that need to be solved at the moment, and I'm still worried about this, worrying about that.

It was his hungry belly that interrupted Hongdu's complaining.

"Forget it, don't worry about it for now, at least you have a full meal first. If you travel to another world and starve to death without doing anything, it will be a funny death. ”

According to the priority, the first thing to find is water, people who do not consume water for two days will be in danger of life, if you do not use the kettle for more than a period of time in the annual ring game, or liquid props will cause physical loss, and if you do not ingest water for a longer time, you will die. So you have to find water first, and then food.

There must be animals in such a large forest.,Although I haven't seen them so far.,I don't know how to make hunting tools myself.,But since you can use the skills in the game.,You can hunt with range-type killing skills.。

Ah, if the power is similar to that in the game, then all that's left is grilled meat.

Hong Du saw that the branch planted in the soil in the distance retracted the steps he had just taken, he walked to the branch and looked at it, he couldn't just throw the props he had obtained by killing the Heavenly Tree here, what if such a large forest got lost.

If only I could have a map, or a wayfinding skill.

Thinking of the silver wolf who knocked himself down the mountain and caused him to cross, it seemed that if he could be summoned, this problem would be solved.

However, the silver wolf is different from ordinary wolf animals, it relies on aura to find prey, ordinary animals do not have aura, the most common aura in nature is water, fire these elements, there are some special soil or ore, fruits also have aura.

You may not be able to hunt animals, but finding fruits to solve temporary food and clothing is not a problem, and it is just a good time to test your skills to use them.

Summoning spirit beasts in the game is by swiping to call the menu column, and then find the spirit beast, and then select the spirit beast you want to summon, but now there is no way to open the menu column.

Plagued by this fatal question, Hong Du kept scratching his head.

Do you call out his name?

I didn't change the name of the spirit beast.,Because the name change props are paid.,I don't want to put krypton gold on the props that can't improve the strength of the character.,The name of his silver wolf when he captured it was called Silver Wolf.,That... Is it okay to call the name?

Hongdu is going to give it a try, do you want to add a pose? When summoning a spirit beast in the game, the character will automatically assume a pose, should I imitate it?

Oh, no matter! Anyway, just give it a try and see.

Adjusted his posture, closed his eyes and stretched out a hand to imagine the silver wolf accompanying him, and the surroundings suddenly fell silent, and even the sound of the wind did not exist.

Then he said softly: "Silver wolf." ”

The word silver wolf is like a heavy stone falling into the calm lake from a high altitude, causing ripples in the quiet environment.

This sudden weirdness made Hong Du happy, and it seemed that he should have succeeded.

He opened his eyes and looked where his hand was reaching - nothing.

"Could it be that the time of punishment for death has not passed? ”

Just as he finished speaking, a familiar howl came from behind him.

"Whew~"

Hong Du turned to look, it was nearly three meters long, the silver-white dense hair on his body danced slightly in the wind, his thick limbs firmly buckled to the ground, there were golden rings on his ankles, which were engraved with patterns similar to auspicious clouds, his huge tail slowly swayed from side to side, his mouth was open and he kept sighing for hot air, his fangs flashed sharply and then drooled.

Hong Du, who was originally very excited, looked at it like this, and his face twisted.

Yinha, sure enough, it is Yinha.

Although it is obviously more powerful and majestic than in the game, the fatal joke is not missing, and the funny expression and the 'wise eyes' always make me feel that it is better to throw it away.

The silver wolf saw his master looking at him with a strange expression, and he didn't know what he wanted to express, so he tilted his head and looked at him imitating his master's expression.

Hong Du was also happy when he saw the appearance of the silver wolf, and he really didn't lose it, not to mention that you helped me by mistake - now I don't know if you helped me or cheated me, but at least it's not boring to have your living treasure by your side.

Seeing that he finally summoned the silver wolf, a stone in his heart was put down, he raised his head and looked at the silver wolf who kept his tongue and kept his saliva, but he had some worries in his heart, will this guy obey orders as in the game?

I feel like I've been worrying more and more about things since I crossed into this world.,Sure enough, it's still a game-

Then Hong Du tentatively said to him:

"Silver wolf. ”

"Huh?"

"Take it in circles. ”

The silver wolf took a step back when he heard this, lowered his body to make a hunting posture, and then kicked the ground hard with his limbs, and his whole body rose into the air, spun around in the sky and fell calmly, and a gust of wind rose to blow out all the surrounding leaves and broken branches.

Before Hong Du could admire, it tilted its head and swallowed its tongue and shouted, "Huh?"

As if to say: like this?

"Yes, yes, Silver Wolf, can you take a spin in a vertical circle?"

"Whew~"

The silver wolf took another step back, lowered his front body as if to jump, and then kicked the ground, flipping backwards in the air. The splashed dirt was sprinkled on Hong Du's body, but despite this, he didn't dislike it in his heart, and even wanted to spin and jump happily.

Not only does it understand me, it does what I ask, and what could be better?

Hongdu patted the dirt on his body, although it was not clean, it was not bad, and then came to the silver wolf and stroked it.

"Yes, yes, you really deserve to be a spirit beast~"

"Boil, woo~"

Then he lowered his voice and sighed in a low voice: "It's too Erhahua." So, I'm going to be glad for you for the rest of the day, you come with me. ”

Hongdu walked towards the branches of the trees stuck in the earth, and the silver wolf slowly followed, but the huge body crushed many of the trees and made a clicking sound.

Hong Du turned his head slightly to look at the silver wolf following behind him, and sure enough, he could fully understand my words, and his expression and voice seemed to be able to understand a rough idea, is this the relationship between the master and the spirit beast.

When he reached the branch, Hong Du pointed to the branch and said to the silver wolf, "Do you remember this?"

The silver wolf poked his head out and sniffed, walking back and forth to look at the branches from different angles, and then nodded to Hongdu in response, but then tilted his head again, as if telling himself that it wasn't like this before.

"Remember, that's great. Although the appearance has changed slightly, this is indeed the item we get after killing the Sky Tree. ”

Just talking about the son of Tianshu, the silver wolf suddenly trembled, and almost didn't stand firm.

"It's dead, what are you afraid of. ”

The silver wolf looked left and right, nodding quickly and slightly.

"You're — forget it, that's what you are.

I'd like to create a living area in this area, but I don't have the skills of wayfinding and scouting, so I'll have to rely on you to find the way, and every time we have to go from here to find food and water, and then come back here, so I'll leave it to you. ”

The silver wolf shook its tail quickly, sat on the ground seriously and dignifiedly, and roared quickly and briefly, as if answering himself: Deling!.

"That's good. ”

"Huh?"

"Ah, do you think I don't want to go back to the city, but we're not in the previous world now, so I don't know where this is, there's no map, there's not even anyone to talk to, and we have to survive here on our own. Oh, yes, I put your food in my backpack, and now I can't open it, so you and I don't have anything to eat for the time being. ”

"Whew... Boil. ”

"What's there to be sad about, I'm okay too, so we're going to go somewhere else now to see if we can find water and food. ”

"Woo!

"Of course, I'll reward you when I get out of the forest, but now it's a special situation, this branch seems to have changed after being inserted into the soil, so I don't want to touch it until it comes out of the soil on its own, to avoid causing damage, and you have to worry when you walk, don't step on it." ”

"Whew. ”

After Hong Du explained everything to the silver wolf, he suddenly squatted on the ground in frustration.

I was really talking to a wolf, but luckily no one saw it, otherwise it would have been really ugly.

However, it seems that I can only say a lot when I am faced with it, and if I were to be in front of a different person, I am afraid that I would not know how to communicate.

"Then let's go, do you want to smell this smell?"

The silver wolf thought for a while, and then slowly walked past Hong Du, constantly sniffing the ground, but suddenly smelled something and walked in one direction. When Hong Du saw the place where it went, he realized that it was the place where he had peed before. The silver wolf sniffed back and forth under the tree, then turned around and lifted one of his feet, and actually urinated out.

Is it because the place where I pee is used as a sign to deepen the smell? I'm a little shy, but I'm really smart.

The silver wolf came over with small broken steps, looked at Hong Du with high morale and said that he was ready, Hong Du touched his soft and smooth silver hair and said:

"Then let's go over here first. ”

A man and a wolf moved in a direction of random choice, although he also thought about riding on the back of the silver wolf, but looking at the surrounding trees still forget it, in case it lowered its head and smelled something, what was waiting for it was the result of being constantly whipped by branches of different lengths,

However, the sky is slowly getting darker, and it is quite dangerous to grope in the forest in the dark, so you must ensure your safety before understanding the situation of this world.

"We've got to hurry, and if we can't find it before dark, we can't stay, so we've got to get back here as soon as possible. ”

"Whew. ”

2

Yesterday's heavy rain made the dirt roads outside the city, which were not easy to walk, even more dirty, although it has cleared up these days, unless you go to the far city to talk about things or merchants, the potholed mud road really makes people think of going out of the city.

It's just that on such a road, there are two people dressed in white galloping on horseback, and behind their clothes is a long strip of leaf-like cyan swords, indicating the sect to which he belongs, Jade Sword Village.

Willow Leaf rode a horse at a gallop, the horse's hooves stepped out of the muddy road one by one, he didn't care at all about the mud spots that flew over stuck to his snow-white clothes, even splashed on his face, and the dirty water in his hair was not in the mood to care.

There was also a person of the same age as Liu Ye beside him, who was his junior brother Liu An, dodging the dirty mud that splashed in, but it was inevitable that he would be stained. It is indeed not easy to keep clean and keep up with the senior brother, but fortunately it is not a day when it rains heavily to go out of the city, otherwise I am afraid that I would have become a mud man long ago.

Forget it, no matter.

Liu An accelerated closer to his senior brother, seeing that his expression was solemn, his eyes were also full of worry, his body was curled a little because of fatigue, and he didn't care about the rain and cement spots stained by his sideburns, and his originally clean and handsome face seemed to be much higher than his own cultivation at the moment, but he didn't rest for a whole day.

Liu An said to him with some worry:

"Senior brother... Senior brother!"

Liu Ye turned his head and said, "What's wrong?"

"Senior brother, we have been on the road for a day and night, and we are not far from the Black Courtyard, do you want to get off the horse and rest. ”

"No, I'm not tired. ”

If a cultivator does not reach the realm of 'Five Qi Dynasty Yuan', his body is no different from that of ordinary people, let alone the Five Qi Dynasty Yuan, the two of them have not even reached the Three Flowers Gathering Peak, how can they not be tired after a whole day of hurrying.

"But..."Liu An looked at his expression and didn't know what to say for a while, now I'm afraid that it is impossible to make him stop no matter what, all he can do is to say some comforting words, so that the senior brother will not be so flustered and anxious.

"Senior brother, don't worry, the eldest lady is talented and intelligent, and she will not encounter danger. ”

"How can there be no danger, it's a dark courtyard!"

"This, maybe, maybe the eldest lady just thinks that it is too boring to practice in the gate village and go out to relax, maybe she has returned to the village in the past few days. ”

Liu Ye shook his head, he didn't want to pay attention to this innocent and romantic junior brother at all, but when he looked back, he was right, he pulled him to find the eldest lady together, and he didn't say anything to him along the way, and it was hard for him to rush in a row.

Thinking that the strength and frequency of this willow leaf whip had become lower, he slowly said to him after being in the same row as Liu An:

"Do you know what spirit beast the eldest lady likes the most?"

"Needless to say, the whole village knows that it is a spirit fox. Two years ago, the owner of the village stole back the black wolf cub dangerously and rewarded it to the eldest lady in front of everyone in the village, but the eldest lady disliked it and didn't want it. She told the owner that her favorite spirit animal was the spirit fox, and she didn't want anything else, no matter how high the level was, no matter how powerful it was. ”

Liu Ye nodded, because all the disciples of Zhuang were there at that time, so it was naturally not a secret. Later, the black wolf cub was set by the owner of the village as the champion of the sword in the village. Because the two junior brothers were unwell and absent, in order to not be compared with the team score, they played three games in a row, although every junior brother who participated in the game was rewarded, but in the final battle due to physical exhaustion collapsed.

If he can't achieve victory for others and himself, he is an unqualified sword, and this incident has also become a reason for him to work harder to cultivate.

"Three days ago, Doctor Xue went to the village to renew the medicine for the second son, and when I chatted with the owner and the owner's wife, the eldest lady and I were also by the side. said that when I was looking for medicine for my son, I heard that at the beginning of autumn, a kind of black tree would grow in the black courtyard, and the tree was full of poison, and people who cultivated for less than fifteen would be dying if they touched it, but the leaves and roots were boiled together but it was an incomparably effective interpretation of the medicine, which should be able to completely cure the second son. So the divine doctor was looking for medicine for the second son in the dark courtyard at the beginning of autumn, but he didn't see the medicine, but he found the spirit fox. The Black Courtyard is such a dangerous place, the divine doctor does not dare to stay for long. But how could the owner of the eldest lady's character not know, he strictly forbade the disciples to go without permission, and even specially instructed the doorman to ask the eldest lady before going out, and if she felt that something was wrong, don't let her go out. ”

"It doesn't matter if the disciples of the sect go out hunting, but remember the three taboos and two musts. Liu An secretly read this sentence, "Didn't the eldest lady say that she went out to look for the spirit fox, but the spirit fox didn't tell the doorman about the black courtyard?"

"Yes, of course the doorman doesn't know. The eldest lady said that Doctor Xue told her where the spirit fox haunted, and she was going to look for it, and the doorman saw that she was ready and indeed looking for something, so he let her pass. ”

Liu An frowned, and he also knew why his senior brother was always anxious along the way.

Liu Ye continued: "The eldest lady is kind-hearted, and she really won't let go of the opportunity to save the second son, but after the Demon Emperor destroyed the Heavenly Tree two hundred years ago, the turbidity was pervasive, and the black courtyard was quite seriously polluted. Although the eldest lady is talented and intelligent, after all, her young cultivation is not high, and how can she be reassuring to be alone. It's okay to meet the people of the four major sects, at most we will be exempted from the opportunity to hunt in autumn next year because of breaking the rules, but what if we encounter fierce beasts and wicked people!"

"Could it be that the eldest lady didn't follow anyone on this trip?" Liu An also panicked, and the answer was a heavy nod from the senior brother.

"It's... This is nonsense. ”

"It's not that you don't know the character of the eldest lady, and you don't care about the consequences at all. ”

Liu Ye looked at the slowly falling sun and was even more anxious, it only took three days to go from Yujian Village to the Black Courtyard, and the eldest lady was one day ahead of herself, and she should know that Zhuang Nei would send someone out to look for her, so the speed of progress must not be slow.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up today, so let's find a place to rest. After a day of travel, the horses in the village couldn't stand it. Tomorrow we have to catch up, or ...... It can only be found in the dark courtyard. ”
