Niuqi Mountain is not particularly close to Guangliang County, and there is a mountain road of more than ten miles to walk. The road was bumpy, and the side of the road was covered with half-man-tall weeds, swaying in the wind. He Ding didn't leave very quickly, because Long Li said that the selection of Niu Qishan would last for three days, so he thought that he had no need to be in a hurry.

"At the beginning, Chen San carried me from Niuqi Mountain to Guangliang County, it was really not easy for him," He Ding said with emotion, it may not be a problem for him to carry a person to walk more than ten miles of mountain roads, but it is undoubtedly very difficult to do this with Chen San's thin body.

The mountain road winds its way to a wooded area.

At this time, there were no pedestrians on the road, and He Ding walked all the way, and the closer he got to Niuqi Mountain, the fewer pedestrians on the road became. When I approached the woods, there was no longer half a figure around.

"Mortals don't dare to get so close to Niuqi Mountain, and only those who collect medicine dare to enter Niuqi Mountain for medicinal materials. ”

At this time, the purple jade pendant on He Ding's waist began to glow faintly, and he couldn't help but be vigilant.

"There should be a lot of demon cultivators nearby, I have to be careful. ”

The sky was dark, and the woods were a little gloomy, and the wind was blowing through the trees, forming a wailing wind sound among the trees, which could not help but send chills down the spine.

He Ding was even more nervous, scanning the surroundings.

In a trance, He Ding seemed to see a black boulder not far ahead. This boulder is more than a head taller than He Ding, standing in the middle of the forest path, almost blending in with the night, and you can't find it without looking carefully.

"Wait, how did this stone ......" He Ding rubbed his eyes, thinking that he had seen it wrong.

"Why are you moving!" He Ding called out in a low voice, and he saw that the black boulder was moving forward slowly, as if a person was walking, and with each rhythmic step, the ground would make a dull sound.

"Huh?" the boulder seemed to be able to hear He Ding's voice, and his whole body slowly turned around.

He Ding saw a pair of miserable white eyes the size of a copper bell, and those eyes were also watching him.

"Ahh

"Ahhh

He Ding was stunned, this behemoth was actually afraid of himself?

The black giant struggled on the ground, its limbs waving wildly in the air, and from time to time it let out a few low howls.

He Ding swallowed his saliva, and said in his heart, could this guy have fallen and couldn't get up? So while holding the soft sword, he slowly approached the behemoth. The closer he got, the more nervous He Ding became, because the jade pendant on his waist became brighter and brighter, which showed that the guy in front of him was undoubtedly a demon cultivator.

With such a large body size, it is impossible to be an immortal cultivator.

Less than three feet away from the demon cultivator, He Ding finally saw his true face.

It's a cow.

A big, dark cow.

The hair of this bull demon is pitch black and shiny, as if ink has been splashed all over its body. However, his eyes were white and large, which was in stark contrast to his body color, so He Ding felt so frightened when he saw it.

He Ding breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew his sword into his pocket. He walked over to the black bull demon's arm waving in the air and said, "Don't move, I'll help you get up." ”

The black bull demon's eyes stared at He Ding for a while, blinked, and then slowly lowered his hand very obediently. He Ding put his two hands under the bull demon, trying to turn his whole body over.

However, the fact is that He Ding's hands slammed into force, but the body of the bull demon did not move at all, as if it was stuck to the ground.

"This guy is too heavy, isn't it? With my current strength, I can't lift it at all without real qi! I think he has to weigh six or seven hundred pounds to say the least. He Ding exclaimed.

But fortunately, He Ding still has the strength to be reckless, otherwise there is really nothing he can do. I saw that He Ding urged the reckless bull's strength, and his two arms suddenly thickened, and every green tendon on his arms was clearly visible. He kicked the ground with both feet, his waist instantly exerted force, the muscles on his arms bulged, and he only heard a low shout, and the side of the bull demon was lifted up by him.

He Ding continued to exert his strength, and pushed the side of the bull demon over. With a bang, the body of the bull demon hit the ground, and He Ding felt the ground tremble, and then a cloud of dust and mist rose.

Succeeded, He Ding smiled slightly, he left a footprint a few inches deep on the ground, which shows the weight of this bull demon.

The bull demon got up from the ground and walked in front of He Ding. Suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed He Ding, hugged him in his arms, and hugged He Ding tightly with both hands.

"What kind of strange power is this!" He Ding instantly felt that he was about to suffocate, and he faintly heard the sound of his ribs shattering. The power of this bull demon is really terrifying, several times greater than the strength of the reckless cow used by himself.

"Great Bull God bless, you helped me!" The bull demon's eyes flashed with excited tears, and the strength of holding He Ding strengthened a little more.

"Okay, okay, I know, you first, cough cough, put me down first!" He Ding shouted with his last breath, if he was hugged like this again, He Ding might die in the arms of the bull demon.

As soon as the bull demon let go, He Ding inhaled the fresh air violently, as if he hadn't breathed for a long time.

"My friend, you seem to be dying. Seeing He Ding panting frantically, the bull demon said.

"I'm fine, it's just that your strength is too strong. He Ding gradually recovered and punched the bull demon's sturdy chest.

"Oh, thank you, but I'm the least strong in our tribe!" said the bull demon.

"What kind of monsters are you in your tribe!" He Ding was a little speechless.

"There are my brother in the tribe, my mother, my father, my grandfather, my uncle, and I ......" The bull demon stupidly began to count his fingers one by one, and seemed to want to list everyone in the tribe.

"Stop, stop, okay, I got it. He Ding hurriedly grabbed the bull demon, afraid that he wouldn't be able to stop as soon as he spoke.

He Ding looked at this bull demon with a simple and honest appearance, and after looking at it for a long time, he felt a little cute, and he couldn't help asking, "What's your name?"

"Mantu, everyone calls me Mantu. The bull demon replied.

"Brute picture?" He Ding said lightly, "Strange name......

"What are you doing in Niuqishan? Do you want to join Niuqishan?" He Ding asked.

"yes. The elder said, "My strength is too small to stay in the tribe." My dad asked me to come to Niuqi Mountain, and he said that there were people from our tribe here, and let me follow him to cultivate. Mantu replied truthfully.

He Ding frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Then aren't you just driven out by them? This is too unreasonable, isn't it? Your parents didn't intercede with your elders and let you stay in the tribe?" He Ding saw that the brute plan was rejected by the tribe because of his small strength and some stupidity.

"No, no, no, Elder, the elder said, I, if I could, one day, I could cultivate into human form, they would let me go back. Mantu heard He Ding say that the people in his tribe were not good, so he hurriedly waved his hand, and stammered a little when he spoke in a hurry.

"Human form? You have to cultivate to the Yuan Infant Stage to do it, do you know how difficult it is to cultivate to the Yuan Infant Period?" Regarding the demon cultivator being able to transform into a human form in the Yuan Infant Period, this point He Ding is still clear, but for ordinary cultivators, it is not easy to cultivate to the Yuan Infant Period, Zhou Lu has cultivated for more than fifty years before it is only the Jindan Period, and after another fifty years, he may not be able to break through to the Yuan Infant Period.

Isn't this a clear refusal to let Mantu return to the tribe?

"I, I believe I can cultivate into a human form!" Mantu was full of confidence in this.

"Forget it, whatever you want. He Ding sighed, this brute tried to protect his tribesmen so much, or because he was too kind and honest, and he hadn't realized this yet.

"What's your name, my friend?" asked Mantu.

"My name is He Ding. ”

"When I was in the tribe before, I always heard the elders say that human beings are the most terrible things, that you not only slaughter our people, but also your own kind. But He Ding, my friend, you are not as terrible as they say, you helped me, you are different from them. Mantu said.

"I see. He Ding nodded, and said in his heart No wonder Mantu was so afraid when he saw him, it turned out that he had been taught that human beings were terrible and could not approach since he was a child. He thought about it for a while, and felt that he was quite lucky to be a human being, and he had not been instilled with any thoughts since he was a child.

However, from this point of view, the resentment of ordinary demon cultivators towards human beings is not ordinarily large.

Is it really right to go to Niuqi Mountain? He Ding couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his mind.

"My friend, are you also going to Niuqi Mountain?" Mantu interrupted He Ding's musings.

He Ding hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"Great, my friend, let's go together!" Mantu shouted happily, and he reached out and patted He Ding on the back. He Ding didn't stand firm, and was almost shot out by the brute picture.

"Although this guy is kind, his strength is too terrifying. He Ding pinched his sweat.

The two ended their conversation and began to march together in the forest towards Niuqi Mountain. He Ding looked up at Mantu from time to time, feeling that he was always a little weird walking with him, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. He scratched his head and decided not to think about it anymore.

The night is dark, and it is even more difficult to identify the direction when walking in the woods, but fortunately, Mantu seems to know the direction, as a demon cultivator, his perception of the location is much stronger than He Ding, and he is basically leading the way along the way.

After walking for about half an hour, the two chatted and finally walked out of the woods.

Niuqi Mountain, right in front of you.

A towering mountain sits in front of you, with no end in sight on both sides, and the mountain is full of trees, birds and beasts, and the whole mountain is full of aura. He Ding looked up at the mountain peaks inserted into the clouds, and at this moment the whole mountain was pitch black, only a few places were lit up, as if they were a few stars in the dark night.

And in the vast clearing in front of them, that is, at the foot of Niuqi Mountain, a stone staircase up the mountain was reflected by the dim light, and many figures gathered around the entrance of the stone staircase.
