On a sunny ridge, the golden sun on the top has crossed the middle line, but it is still violent, and the leaves of the grass and trees that have been wilted by the scorching light are hanging and wilting.

At this time, the two men in armor stood on the slope, facing a small low bush, as if they were busy with something. One of the young men flipped around in the dark green vines clinging to the bushes with his nimbly hands, and after a while, he found a bunch of earthy yellow fruits the size of two or three fingers, and saw five pieces of fruit in a string, and his palm gently touched it, as if there was a slight soul fluctuation.

The young man was overjoyed, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, he took out a delicate wooden box from the Void Ring and put it on the side, took out a sharp dagger, held the earthy yellow fruit in one hand, waved the dagger and gently picked it up, it was cut off, and then quickly opened the wooden box on the side, put it in, closed the wooden box, and retracted the Void Ring again.

However, compared with the former's joy and calmness, the other young man was not very calm, his black hair was hot, and the metal armor on his body was even hotter, and he looked up at the extremely dazzling sun in the sky with his hands covering his half-squinted eyes, and couldn't help complaining: ", this ghost weather is too hot!

The person who complained was Zhang Souljun who went into the mountains to collect medicine with Le Qi, and he was really hot at the moment, and even the money hanging in front of him couldn't be picked.

"The heart is calm and naturally cool, this kind of weather is nothing, you look at me, there is no problem at all. Hearing this, Le Qi sighed hotly, glanced at the melon boy who was about to be scalded, and smiled unkindly.

"Ghost Seven, I see that you don't have a backache when you stand and talk! Of course it's not hot for you to wear a piece of wooden armor, and I'm wearing this iron bump, and I'm almost not cooking me!

Angry, Zhang Soul Jun directly took off a metal armor weighing nearly 100 catties, and slammed it on the ground very unhappily, the armor hit the ground, making a long concussive sound, and after rolling a few times, he lay quietly on the ground. Immediately, he found a slightly shaded area, sat down, took out a pot of water from the Void Ring, and took a big sip, the throat that was about to burst into flames suddenly felt a blissful coolness, and soon after, a breeze blew by, although it was not very cool, but for him who was covered in sweat, it was extremely comfortable.

I couldn't help but roar in my mouth: "Cool!"

Seeing this, Le Qi also found a good place to sit down in the shade, and then simply lay down, and said with a smile in the direction of eating melon boys: "Didn't you say that the armor is heroic! Why, I don't wear it now!"

"Don't wear it, don't go when the demon beast doesn't touch it, but it will be half killed by the heat first!" Zhang Xunjun waved his hand and said in a resolute tone.

At this time, nearly four hours had passed since the start of the competition, and within the first hour or so, the two of them rushed directly to the vicinity of the Lion's Pass, forty or fifty miles away, according to the plan, and as Le Qi expected, more than one-third of the contestants chose to disperse into the mountains within the first thirty miles, preparing to search for elixir on the periphery of the Ronan Mountain Range. And there are many who continue to go deep like Le Qi, and some people even go deep into the area of nearly 100 miles in one go.

However, with the longitudinal deepening of the distance, the horizontal breadth of the mountain area also gradually increases, so even if tens of thousands of people are scattered in this area, it does not appear dense at all, and even so far, except for the occasional figure of a few people on another mountain, and with the horizontal deepening, in this hour, the rest of the contestants have not been seen.

In this process, with the experience of the two of them, it is also a little gain, on the edge of the stone wall not far ahead, a few strings of relatively low-level money hangers were found, and then, it was fortunate to find this piece of shrubs crawling with money hanger vines, preliminary estimates, this area may have as many as a hundred strings, many of which have reached the fourth or even fifth order, but the trace of the sixth order does not seem to be seen. Of course, as two people who know a lot about all kinds of elixirs, the elixir they picked is naturally not only Qian Jiaozi, and they are in their pockets.

As for the demon beasts encountered on the way, most of them will propose a detour after being reminded by Xiao Songguo, but occasionally, he will also pretend to be unaware and walk until the two sides meet, under normal circumstances, they can hide, if they encounter some short-tempered and unaware of the height of the sky, the two of them don't mind cleaning up.

Just as the two of them were resting, they suddenly felt a shock to their eardrums, and a loud noise mixed with the roar of a demon beast suddenly came from the left side of the ridge. The sudden movement made Le Qi, who had to lie on his back, sit up vigilantly, tilt his head slightly, turn his ears in the direction where the loud noise came, and concentrate on trying to continue to capture the movement, but because the distance was a little far away, the sound was too small, and it seemed that someone was fighting with the demon beast.

At this time, after Zhang Xunjun heard the sound, his heart also became cautious, he quickly stood up and did not forget to pat his buttocks, which was full of grass blades and dirt, and hurriedly walked to the side of Le Qi, and asked, "Did you hear that?"

"Well, the sound is coming from the lower left side of the mountain range, and the movement is not small, it should be someone who is involved with the demon beast. Le Qi stood up and nodded to indicate that he had also heard Fang Cai's movement.

"Let's see what's going on?" Zhang Xunjun proposed.

"Yes. Le Qi agreed.

Then he took the lead and walked briskly towards the left side of the mountain. And Zhang Soul Jun behind him thought about it, walked to the armor that was thrown out before, tried to touch the metal armor lying on the ground with his fingers, found that it was very hot, frowned, took out a kettle with some disgust, opened the lid of the kettle, poured a large pot of water on the armor, and after it cooled down significantly, he lifted it and quickly put it on his body. Then he followed.

Hearing the sound of metal clashing behind him, Le Qi glanced back, just in time to bump into Ding Ling trotting after eating melon boy and putting on his armor, Le Qi said with a special smile: "Lao Zhang, aren't you too hot to panic, and said that you will never wear this thing again! Why, did you pick it up again so quickly?"

Hearing this, Zhang Soul Jun laughed embarrassedly twice and said: "Alas, the so-called time and time, I still wear it to save my life! Anyway, it will be hot for a while and a half." ”

Immediately, he changed the subject and asked, "What's next?"

Shaking his head, Le Qi pointed down and replied: "It's probably in that direction, but the specific situation is not clear, there are trees below to block it, and it is not easy to see." ”

Glancing in the direction that Le Qi was pointing, it was true that he couldn't see the people fighting, and Zhang Xunjun continued to ask, "Then what should I do? Do you want to go down and have a look?"

"It's okay to go down and have a look, it's pretty close anyway. Le Qi pondered for a moment, and felt that he really should take a look, don't when they run away from this side, and they have become innocent pond fish who have been affected, but they are a little passive.

"Let's go and see the excitement!" Zhang Xunjun urged with interest.

The two of them quietly and slowly moved down the relatively gentle slope, and in a short time, they touched the foot of the mountain. As the distance gradually decreased, the sound of the fight gradually increased. Occasionally, a few muffled beast roars and eager conversations with humans could be heard. And through the discerning of the tone of the voice, it seems that there are also female adventurers involved in the battle.

Standing not far from the battle area, Le Qi's eyes poked out, carefully observing the area, and with some surprise, he saw that there were three warriors fighting with two demon beasts. The three martial artists are two women and one man, guessing from their clothes and appearances, they should not be very old, about ten or twenty years old, judging from the momentum that erupted on their bodies and the attacks launched, their strength may be able to reach the initial level of the Star Xuan Realm, which should be much stronger than the two of them.

Coincidentally, two of them knew each other, or it would be more appropriate to say that they could recognize each other. The slender figure dressed in a cyan loose military uniform with a long ponytail on his head is not the eldest lady of the Jin family, Jin Mengxin, and the only man who fights side by side with him, covered with red light, is Situ Lin who used the formation to attack in the final, as for the other woman whose appearance and figure are not much worse than Jin Mengxin, he doesn't know him, but he thinks it should be a friend of the two, maybe it is a young lady of which family.

The two demon beasts that fought with the three of them were somewhat surprised that they were of the same species, one of them had a sturdy body and a slender tail that was nearly three meters long, and the hair on its body had red and black interval markings, especially on the top of the hideous head, the striped markings faintly became a king character, and a pair of sharp fangs three or four inches long were exposed outside the closed giant mouth, and the body was covered with a thick and condensed layer of fire attribute Xuan Qi, showing its type, a fire attribute tiger demon beast, a violent tiger.

The most prominent feature of the Violent Tiger, also known as the Violent Saber-toothed Tiger, is the huge saber teeth that protrude from the upper jaw. It is said that those serrated teeth are extremely hard and sharp, and after being injected with Xuan Qi, they are even comparable to a dagger of three or four stars, and with the powerful bite force of its mouth, it can pierce into the armor with amazing defensive power in one bite.

The other violent tiger, compared to the first head, is a little smaller, with a tail length of just over three meters, judging from the momentum it exudes, it may have just entered the fifth order, but the first head has a faint charm of reaching the fifth order.

The two fierce tigers moved slowly around the three people in the central triangle, two pairs of blazing tiger eyes were staring at their prey with sharp eyes, and their powerful claws were caught in the grass, under their deliberate control, they did not make much sound, as if they were ready to pounce on each other and tear them apart cruelly.
