Chapter 239: Return

After resting for a day in the camp on the outskirts of Black Crow Ridge, Shen Shi felt that his body had recovered a lot, although there was still a faint pain in his chest, but the most important qi veins around his body and the dantian that had been violently shaken had basically healed, and it could also be seen that the spiritual effect of the Three Rank Spirit Pill Golden Tiger Pill could also be seen.

Counting the time, there are only two days left before the end of this Black Crow Ridge trial in the Hundred Mountains Realm, the atmosphere in the camp is gradually starting to look a little tense, and the number of trial disciples who have turned back from the depths of the mountain range is also gradually increasing, and from time to time, one or two figures will be seen walking back from the mountain road in the distance.

When Shen Shi got up this morning, he first walked around the camp, and saw that the place where he had been to yesterday was crowded with people, and it was obvious that the returning disciples were the first to arrive there. And among the counted disciples of the Divine Realm, the number of people seemed to be a few more than yesterday, Wang Jian and Gan Wenqing were there, but they didn't see Sun Hong.

For the current head of the Sun family, Shen Shi's impression is relatively average, and he doesn't have any disgust, but because of his friend Sun You, he feels that he is always on two fronts, so he has always stayed away.

However, he didn't see anyone this time, but Shen Shi quickly thought of the scene he saw yesterday, thought of Sun Heng, who seemed to be injured, and then naturally thought of He Xiaomei, who came back with Sun Heng.

He stood there and muttered for a moment, then turned around and walked towards the resting place of the female disciples in the camp. Although the Ling Xiao Sect has separated the resting places on both sides of the camp because of the difference between men and women, the people in the cultivators are not completely incomprehensible, and they will not directly prohibit men and women from interacting like some stupid places in the mortal world. It was Shen Shi who walked all the way to the row of houses where the female disciples in the sect were resting without hindrance, and then inquired about the same disciples in the past, and found the room where He Xiaomei was resting.

When he was on Jinhong Mountain, although he and He Xiaomei were not particularly deep friendships, they were always friends who had known each other for many years, and when he was seriously injured in the Gaoling Mountains and returned to the mountain, He Xiaomei also came to visit him several times, which was a relatively compatible friend, so this time he thought about it or came over to have a look.

Walking outside the door of the house, he saw that the doors and windows were closed, and there was no one around, which seemed very deserted, and Shen Shi didn't know if He Xiaomei was in the house, so he stepped forward and prepared to knock on the door. Who knew that when his arm was just raised and had not yet fallen to the door, he suddenly heard a sudden sobbing sound from the room, and listening to the sound, it was He Xiaomei crying for some reason.

Shen Shi was stunned, and before he could react, another voice suddenly came from behind the door, sounding like a man with a deep and low voice, he lowered his voice and said something, the words were a little vague Shen Shi didn't hear clearly, but it seemed to be comforting He Xiaomei in a low voice, but after a while, He Xiaomei's sobbing didn't seem to stop.

Shen Shi frowned, a little worried in his heart, and after hesitating for a moment, he raised his arm again and knocked twice on the door.

"Knock Knock ......"

Behind the door of the house, it was quiet all of a sudden, neither He Xiaomei nor the unknown man were silent, and after a while, only He Xiaomei's voice came from behind the door, and said, "Who is it?"

Shen Shi said: "Senior Sister Xiaomei, I am Shen Shi. I saw you come back yesterday, and it seems that you are a little injured, so come and take a look, are you okay?"

He Xiaomei in the room paused for a moment and said, "I'm fine, thank you." ”

Shen Shi let out an "oh", put his mind at ease, thinking that there should be nothing to see He Xiaomei like this, and he didn't open the door immediately, maybe there was something inconvenient in the house, and he naturally had no intention of snooping on anything, so he smiled and said: "That's good, then you can rest, I'll go back first." ”

Saying that, he turned to leave, but only walked a few steps, but suddenly heard a noise in the room behind him, as if He Xiaomei had an argument with someone, and someone in the middle let out a few rapid and low coughs, it sounded as if he was not very well. Shen Shi shook his head, thinking that he didn't know what was going on inside, but since He Xiaomei didn't seem to have any intention of letting herself know, it was better not to explore.

After leaving here and returning to the front of the camp, I saw that there were a lot more people at the gate of the camp, and at the same time, there were disciples of the Lingxiao Sect walking back from the Black Crow Ridge one after another, and it seemed that in the last two days, many people chose to turn back in advance. At this time, he was still staying in the mountain, unless the number of spiritual materials he found was too small, otherwise, he was still stranded in the mountain, in addition to facing the threat of demon beasts, and the brothers of the same sect were very likely to be unable to prevent it, and the danger was too great.

This truth is not difficult to figure out, and that risk may sometimes even endanger lives, where in this world can there be real stupid people, at least under the Ling Xiao Sect, most people are smart.

The number of disciples of the Divine Realm who were sent to count and harvest spiritual materials increased again, including Sun Hong, who Shen Shi didn't see when he came over in the morning, and he also appeared over there at this moment, but looking at his demeanor and complexion, he had always been silent and solemn, and it seemed that he was not in a very good mood.

Shen Shi walked near the gate of the camp, sometimes looking at the disciples approaching the camp, sometimes looking at the mountain road coming over the Black Crow Ridge in the distance, and carefully looking at the figures coming down there, hoping to see a few of his friends in the crowd, Sun You, Zhong Qinglu, or Gan Ze.

But until the end of the day, he didn't see a single one of them.

At the same time, among the many disciples of the Ling Xiao Sect in the camp, a news began to gradually spread, this time the Black Crow Ridge trial was harsh, and many division commanders really kept their promises and did not help at all, and because of this, it is said that in that extremely dangerous mountain range, people have begun to die.

※※※

Who exactly the deceased person was, the rumors did not say, or so far no one knew, but a few disciples chatted in private, and said with great certainty that they had heard that there was even more than one person who died.

Although this news has not yet been confirmed by the sect, there is no doubt that the atmosphere in the camp has become a little more solemn, and Shen Shi is faintly a little worried, but when this night passes, tomorrow will be the last day, and at that time, maybe all the people should come back, and everything will be clear by then.

When it was dark, Shen Shi suddenly thought that he didn't seem to see Zhong Qingzhu all day, and he didn't know where she went today, maybe she was very tired from this trial, so she rested in the house.

After nightfall, torches were lit in the camp, and the burning flames formed a bright point of light at the foot of the Black Crow Ridge Mountain, leading the eyes in the darkness. Even in the dead of night, there were people on duty in the camp to watch the mountain road, and sure enough, on this dark night, there were also disciples of the Ling Xiao Sect coming down the mountain one after another.

After dawn the next day, when the sky was shining, Black Crow Ridge seemed to wake up from its slumber, and with the mountain wind blowing, the wave of the return of many disciples of the Lingxiao Sect who participated in this trial suddenly reached a peak.

One by one, groups and even groups of Lingxiao Sect disciples walked back from the mountain one after another, all of them were all kinds of them, some of them were depressed and injured in many places, some were full of energy and lifted their weights lightly, some were alone and only cowered, and some were members of the group with great momentum. Just like that, people kept coming back, and this once quiet camp suddenly turned into a lively place.

Several Yuan Dan Realm Great Truths led by Elder Sun Mingyang also came out to show up today, but they were very tolerant and did not interfere with these disciples who had survived the difficult trials on the Black Crow Ridge, and they were free to let out their emotions as they wanted, laughing and crying, anyway, as long as they did not make mistakes in the most critical place on the registration and storage of spiritual materials.

The place where the spiritual materials were counted was quickly surrounded by water, and many disciples took out a large number of spiritual materials, among which there were quite a few precious things, which were eye-opening. Everyone in this world has their own opportunities, who can say that they will be better than others?

However, Shen Shi's attention was not on the side of counting the spiritual materials, he always stood near the camp gate and waited, but he never saw his friends, which made his mood start to be a little anxious.

The demon beasts on the Black Crow Ridge are not soft-hearted, he is also a person who has come back from the depths of the Black Crow Ridge, and it can even be said that he has taken a trip from the ghost gate, thinking that his relatives are not around, and there are only three or four friends, Shen Shi really doesn't want to see any of them have an accident.

He stood at the gate of the camp for a long time, and then around noon, he saw a person walking down the mountain road, the dust and dust were dirty, and even his face looked a little black, but his expression was elated, and he saw Shen Shi standing outside the gate from a distance, and the man laughed, walked over quickly, waved at Shen Shi and smiled:

"Stone!"

Shen Shi laughed, looked at Sun You, who had almost changed as if he had changed a person, and shook his head and laughed. Sun You also looked happy, ran over and hugged him hard, and said with a smile: "Good guy, you actually came back so early, the harvest must be good!

The stacks of questions made Shen Shi too late to answer, laughed, and said, "I'm very good, I'm a little ...... Minor injuries, but almost healed. How are you?"

Sun You raised his arms and made a strong gesture, then patted his chest and said with a smile: "This Black Crow Ridge, of course, is a piece of cake for Young Master Ben." ”

Shen Shi laughed, pushed him, and then pointed to Wang Geng Sun Hong, who was extremely busy, and said, "Okay, you go over and count the spiritual materials first, and let's talk later." ”

Sun You nodded and went with a smile. Seeing that Sun You had returned safely, his complexion was also good, Shen Shi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, shook his head with a smile, turned around and looked at the mountain road in the distance, thinking that he didn't know how Qinglu was doing now.

I don't know if I have something in mind, inexplicably there is an echo, his eyes turned around, and he saw that at the foot of the mountain road, not far away, a woman smiled Yingying walked over, the spring breeze blew through the tips of her face and hair, like a fresh bud blooming for the first time, and the eyes in her eyes were like water, and it didn't take long to come to him.

She smiled, like the most gentle and beautiful flower in the mountains and fields this season, with a bit of relief and joy in her eyes, and she looked like a Shen Shi, revealing a little peace of mind.

Shen Shi also laughed, nodded, and said to her:

"You're back?"
