Chapter 217: Jealousy
Chapter 217: Jealousy
Watching the two people leave quickly, only Shen Shi and Zhong Qinglu were left on the green meadow. Shen Shi shook his head and turned to look at Zhong Qingzhu, only to see that she had also put away the spirit sword at this moment, standing in the green grass, and also looked at him.
The two looked at each other, Zhong Qingzhu smiled lightly, and said, "Thank you for your help." ”
Shen Shi shook his head and said with a smile: "It's just a trivial matter, what kind of friendship do we have?" ”
Zhong Qingzhu's eyes flashed slightly, and her bright eyes stared at Shen Shi for a moment, Shen Shi walked past her, came to the big tree, glanced at the red Buddha Zhi, and then turned his head to Zhong Qingzhu and beckoned and smiled: "Qingzhu, you come over and get it, otherwise if someone comes here again, it will be troublesome." ”
Zhong Qingzhu was stunned for a moment, turned around and walked to his side, but did not immediately step forward to take off the red Buddha Zhi, but glanced at him slightly from the corner of his eye, as if he was not sure of Shen Shi's intentions. After hesitating for a moment, she said softly: "But you also contributed just now, according to the two people in front of you, it is better for us to divide this red Buddha Zhi equally." ”
Shen Shi smiled, waved his hand and said, "The two of us are not strangers who don't know each other, so we know what to do? Just now I was just afraid that you would be bullied by them alone. This trial focuses on harvesting, and the value of Red Buddha Zhi is extraordinary, which is enough to top more than 100 ordinary first- and second-grade spirit grasses, so you can put it away quickly. ”
Zhong Qingzhu's lips trembled slightly, and he looked at Shen Shi in a daze, his smile was hearty and gentle, how many years have passed, but there seems to be still not much change between the contours and eyebrows, and he is still vaguely the same boy who was on Qingyu Island back then.
The boy who once saved himself and was always with him in the dark!
She suddenly lowered her head and turned around, as if she had a momentary gaffe but didn't want people to see it, and at that moment of dazedness, her shoulders seemed to tremble slightly. After a while, Zhong Qingzhu seemed to control his emotions, exhaled lightly, and then didn't say anything more, squatted down, and took off the red Buddha Zhi.
Seeing Zhong Qingzhu put the red Buddha Zhi into the Ruyi bag, Shen Shi nodded and said, "It's useless to stay here longer, let's get out of here first." ”
Zhong Qingzhu had no objection, and the two took Xiao Hei and walked all the way forward, bypassing the big stone and returning to the mountains and forests.
The purple-black soil that can be seen everywhere is still covered with this mountain, and after leaving that rare piece of green grass behind him and walking forward for a while, Shen Shi opened his mouth and said to Zhong Qingzhu: "Qingzhu, I remember that when I entered the mountain yesterday, when I came down from the floating immortal boat, you should have been behind me, why did the two of us meet so quickly, didn't you walk straight to the deep mountain?"
Zhong Qingzhu was silent for a moment, but did not directly answer Shen Shi's words, but with a little curiosity, after glancing at him, he asked: "Shi, in the battle with those two people just now, I saw that your faction was like a lightweight appearance, and the ones you used were all Five Elements Techniques?"
Shen Shi hesitated slightly, of course, the five elements magic he used just now were basically the Five Elements Spells, but there were also one or two witchcraft mixed in it, but now these weird witchcrafts have long disappeared in the Hongmeng Cultivation Realm, and no one knows them, and they seem to be not much different from the Five Elements Spells. So after pondering for a while, Shen Shi still nodded with a smile and said, "It's basically all." ”
Zhong Qingzhu nodded slightly, and said: "The Shutang is indeed worthy of being one of the seven halls of our Lingxiao Sect, although it seems to have withered for many years, but if you really want to teach talents, it should not be underestimated." ”
Shen Shi laughed and said, "Are you praising me?"
Zhong Qingzhu also smiled, his eyes were like water, he glanced at him, and said: "Originally, those two people just now, I am confident that I will win one-on-one, but if it is a one-on-two situation, if I don't use the formation I have learned, I am afraid that it will be a little difficult to fight with my own Taoism." Her bright eyes flashed, stared at Shen Shi, and smiled, "But after you joined to help me, one person was involved on one side, and there was still enough strength to help me on the other side, this skill is really powerful." I don't think anyone else except you will win so easily. ”
Shen Shi smiled: "I didn't expect you to praise people, I was a little flustered by what you said." ”
Zhong Qingzhu pursed his lips and smiled, walking beside him, smiling, but it was very different from his usual light expression, and there was a rare joy and cheerfulness in his complexion.
※※※
Seeing that he was walking another mountain road, about to bypass the hill in front of him, Shen Shi was about to ask Zhong Qingzhu what he was going to do next, or what he was going to do, when suddenly the two of them heard a loud roar from a mountain forest in front of them at the same time, the sound shook the mountains, and the mountains echoed, sounding like a very fierce roar of a demon beast in a furious state.
Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu glanced at each other, both frowning slightly, but neither of them had any intention of flinching, but instead sped up some steps and walked towards the woods that looked very dense.
The strange aura unique to the purple-black bloodsucking soil quickly spread, obviously this forest was one of the places where the bloodsucking soil was distributed and covered, and the roar of the unknown fierce demon beast was still coming, but the voice was a little lower than just now.
Standing outside the forest, Shen Shi pondered for a moment and asked Zhong Qingzhu in a low voice, "Can you tell what kind of demon beast it is?"
Zhong Qingzhu thought about it carefully, shook his head, and said, "I can't hear it, but looking at this momentum, I'm afraid it won't be a low-level demon beast." ”
If the grade of the demon beast is high, then most of its own demon bodies are worth a lot of money, and many places can be directly used as spiritual materials, and if you are lucky, when you encounter a high-level demon beast that has produced a demon pill, that demon pill is even more valuable. At the beginning, Shen Shi and Xiao Hei killed an Iron Wolf King Spider in the Gaoling Mountains and obtained a demon pill, and when they got it to the Immortal Society, they were directly valued at thousands of spirit crystals, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they became rich overnight.
But then again, the combat power of high-level demon beasts is of course far superior to that of low-level demon beasts, and the combat power of demon beasts that condense demon pills has risen to a big level, extremely fierce, and it is extremely difficult for ordinary monks to deal with, and everyone is at risk of falling if they are not careful. That time in the Gaoling Mountains that day, Shen Shi was also because of a coincidence, the Iron Wolf King Spider happened to devour a very strange bloody man, that is, Hou Sheng, and swallowed without dying, and made a lot of trouble in its abdomen, Shen Shi then attacked from the outside and inside, and then killed the demon beast of the four-rank knot.
So standing outside the woods at this moment, Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu both looked a little hesitant, Shen Shi was cautious, if he was alone, he might still have the heart to go in and take a peek, but Zhong Qingzhu was by his side, he felt a little risky, so he said to her: "If it is a high-level demon beast inside, I am afraid that it is very dangerous, or you stay here first, I will go in to see what kind of demon beast it is, and then come out to discuss with you." ”
Zhong Qingzhu's bright eyes turned, glanced at him, the gentle color in his eyes flashed, he shook his head slightly and just wanted to speak, but suddenly heard a rush of footsteps coming from the mountain forest, and then there was a slightly embarrassed figure, from the depths of the forest, he staggered out and swept out, and suddenly landed on the edge of the mountain forest not far from where they were.
Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu were both taken aback, turned their heads to look, and the man obviously didn't expect two people to suddenly appear outside the forest, and he was also startled, turned around and looked, and after a while, he saw Zhong Qingzhu was happy at first, but before his smile could rise, he saw Shen Shi standing beside Zhong Qingzhu again, and suddenly his face sank again, and then he shouted, saying:
"Senior Sister Qingzhu, why did you come here too?"
This man who came out of the forest, Shen Shi happened to know, and it was actually Ji Anfu, whom he had met a few times, but he didn't expect him to come to participate in this Hundred Mountains Realm trial.
Zhong Qingzhu nodded at Ji Anfu, his expression was calm, and he agreed, but Shen Shi was thoughtful, and saw the changes in Ji Anfu's face after coming out of the forest just now, and saw that he seemed to ignore himself, his eyes only fell on the beautiful and moving Zhong Qingzhu, and he sneered a few times in his heart.
Over there, Zhong Qingzhu looked Ji Anfu up and down, and said, "Senior Brother Ji, are there any high-level demon beasts in this forest, how can you see that your breath seems to be a little unstable when you come out?"
The words of unstable breath are, of course, polite words to give some face, and when Ji Anfu came out, he staggered with panic, obviously suffering a lot of losses. However, at this time, he looked calm, as if what was in the forest just now was fine, nodded to Zhong Qingzhu, and said: "Exactly, when I was searching this mountain forest, I accidentally found a third-order demon beast 'Remnant Golden Bear' in the depths of the forest, which is infinitely powerful and invincible." ”
"Remnant Golden Bear. Shen Shi's eyes lit up, and his spirit was lifted. This kind of monster beast with a strange name is one of the bear monsters, and it has a strange nature, in addition to hunting some low-level monster beasts on weekdays, its favorite thing is to devour gold and iron artifacts. On weekdays, the remnant golden bears live in the wilderness, and if there are no human monks passing by, there will naturally be no ready-made blades, gold and iron for them to eat, so this kind of demon beast will often look for some spiritual ores and spirit stones containing various gold, silver, copper, iron, etc. in the mountains and wilderness to swallow.
For so long, there will be a unique and strange metal mass in the body of the remnant gold bear, because the remnant gold bear naturally loves to eat some rare spirit ores, and can not completely digest them, so a lot of rare and precious spirit ores are contained in it, if you are lucky, you can even find extremely rare more than five precious spirit ores in the body of this demon beast, which can almost be said to be a kind of mineral deposits that can move. In contrast, some of the demon beast parts of the remnant golden bear itself that can be used as spiritual materials are not as valuable as these metal clumps in its body.
Shen Shi's mind turned, and then he glanced at Zhong Qingzhu beside him, just in time to see Zhong Qingzhu also looking at him, the two stared at each other for a moment, Shen Shi smiled slightly, and said softly: "Go in and have a look?"
"Hmm. Zhong Qingzhu nodded.
Shen Shi didn't say anything more, and walked towards the mountains and forests, Ji Anfu was stunned when he saw this situation, and he opened his mouth just about to speak, but he saw Zhong Qingzhu turn around, smiled at him, and said, "Thank you Senior Brother Ji for telling us about this, although the remnant golden bear is very powerful and fierce, but we still want to go over and try it." ”
Ji Anfu looked at the figures of the two people under the mountain forest, and suddenly felt an inexplicable jealousy in his heart, and secretly gritted his teeth, just when he wanted to say something, he saw Zhong Qingzhu actually turn around directly, speed up his steps and walk to Shen Shi's side, and walked side by side with him to the depths of the forest.
She didn't even have the slightest intention of inviting herself to go and kill the demon together, as if this matter had nothing to do with her!
The backs of the man and the woman looked like a strange match in the shade of the tree, as if they were a natural pair, but in Ji Anfu's eyes, they were so dazzling.
His face was blue, he couldn't hide his jealousy and hatred anymore, and watched coldly from behind as Shen Shi and Zhong Qingzhu walked into the mountain forest.
