In the autumn wind, Aoki Castle is only a few fallen leaves, and even if it is this fallen leaf, it is still green, and it will not present a depressed and solemn atmosphere. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Now that the morning sun is shining all over the land, the ancient and magnificent castle of Aoki Castle looks even more solemn and magnificent under the sunshine. The surrounding banyan branches are more verdant and green, showing a very unique vitality.

And in the sky above the entire Aoki City, there are still some clouds, making the entire Aoki City seem to be placed in the clouds.

Perhaps in the ancient legend, the castle in the sky that existed was like this. In this lofty sky, there are some cranes flying by from time to time, which seems so elegant.

"Since ancient times, autumn has been sad and lonely, and I say that autumn is better than spring. As soon as the cranes line the clouds in the clear sky, it will lead poetry to the blue sky. Kou Hao suddenly remembered the verses he had seen in the afterlife that he had not crossed.

The crane in Aoki City is so at ease, and it seems to be used to seeing too many joys and sorrows, and it will not be bothered by the trivial matters in this martial arts.

In late autumn, it's refreshing to be in such a vibrant place. What's more, Kou Hao's side, as well as a picturesque and quite slender woman like Lan Xinyue, walking together, will not be so boring.

After a night's sleep, many people woke up with alcohol, and even if there was some alcohol, they used their internal force to disperse it, so everyone seemed to be in good spirits. It's just that these newcomers present really remember the fierce battle between Kou Hao and the official members of the Yunxiao Alliance last night.

Thinking about it now, I can't help but be terrified, even if I don't fight Kou Hao, let them face the strange and swift sword technique of the injured martial artist, it is not something they can bear.

Therefore, the eyes of the people around him who looked at Kou Hao were full of surprise and admiration. After all, Kou Hao experienced such a dangerous and unpredictable decisive battle, not for his personal face, but to preserve everyone's dignity.

If Kou Hao hadn't stood up and defeated the official members of the Cloud Alliance last night, then all the newcomers present would have lost their dignity, which was quite embarrassing. Even if they are all from various places, have their own abilities and tricks, and were once in their own circles, they can be regarded as good players with a certain reputation, and the bearded man who seems to be very majestic here was directly cut into several sections by the official members of the Blood Alliance, who else dares to come forward?

Everyone has only one life, and they must be well grasped, if they accidentally lose their small lives, then there can be no second life. In such a tragic situation, no amount of wishes can be fulfilled, and life is an irreversible journey.

As the saying goes, leaving the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, these warriors feel that they should save their lives first, and as for what will happen after that, it is like crossing the river by feeling the stones, taking one step at a time. It is expected that as long as you are careful enough, it is not a particularly difficult problem to save your life and survive.

For the compliments of all the martial artists present, Kou Hao thanked him, but he only said humbly: "It's nothing, it's not that I'm hypocritical, but we should put our eyes and thoughts on this side of the Spirit Snake Cave." Last night was just a small conflict with the official members of the Blood Alliance, and the road after that is what we should do wholeheartedly. ”

After that, Kou Hao was silent, he never said too many meaningless words. Now that Kou Hao has fully expressed his meaning, he is too lazy to say a word. Even though the martial artists around him were still talking about last night's events, Kou Hao continued to walk silently holding Lan Xinyue's hand like no one else.

Deacon Ouyang was not far in front of him, and when he heard Kou Hao's words, he nodded in admiration, feeling that Kou Hao was really not an ordinary martial artist. Before, he thought that Kou Hao was only slightly good at that fingering stunt, but now Deacon Ouyang only felt that Kou Hao's martial arts background was quite profound and difficult to guess.

Only people who are really capable and strong will disdain some meaningless trivial battles, and they have a long-term vision.

Obviously, Kou Hao belongs to this kind of person, not to mention that Kou Hao also has a very wise mind and a city in his heart, but he is not one of those reckless people.

"I really hope that a genius like you will not die prematurely, otherwise it will be a loss for the Cloud Alliance. Hey, maybe I'm thinking too highly of you, there are a lot of geniuses who died in Aoki City over the years. Deacon Ouyang sighed deeply in his heart.

Once a genius dies, it has no meaning and does not deserve people's pity, Deacon Ouyang has been in Aoki City for so many years, and he has seen with his own eyes how many arrogant and awe-inspiring geniuses die step by step.

Compassion lingered in Deacon Ouyang's heart, and he didn't want to look back at Kou Hao more. Even though he admired a rising star like Kou Hao, he didn't want to cultivate him too early. Otherwise, once Kou Hao was killed, it would be a big blow to Deacon Ouyang.

Since Deacon Ouyang considered that the speed of most martial artists was not too fast, he kept a speed that everyone could keep up with. After stepping out of the gates of Aoki Castle, they quickly headed for the jungle to the west.

There is a forest trail that you can see a small hillside when you go around it.

"Could it be that the Spirit Snake Cave is in this small hill?" Lan Xinyue asked curiously.

"It should be at the back of this small hill, otherwise there can't be too many cultivation resources in such a place, and it's not worth fighting for all the blood alliances. Kou Hao groaned.

The other martial artists were almost silent, they knew that Deacon Ouyang should be extremely powerful, and he was so serious. If Deacon Ouyang was willing to let them know, he would naturally say it, and if Deacon Ouyang didn't want them to know, even if he asked, it would only cause Deacon Ouyang's disgust.

After all, in these blood alliances, ordinary official members are very powerful, let alone those who can become deacons. Maybe in some small blood alliances that have just been established, people with qualifications but not high strength can still become deacons or elders, but it is absolutely impossible in the middle blood alliance.

Let's ask, a person with low martial arts skills who is commanding many official members of the Blood Alliance all day long will not cause the anger of others?

If most of the people in the Blood Alliance are not convinced, how can the entire Blood Alliance continue to develop well?

Then, Kou Hao and the others followed Deacon Ouyang into the cave on the hillside in front of them.

The surrounding rocks are peculiar, with most parts of the rock being a dull red, with some sparkling brilliance in between.

After walking into the cave on this small hillside, everyone felt a little aggrieved, the surrounding space was quite narrow, if so many warriors passed by here, it is estimated that everyone would not take a second look here.

However, such a place was the entrance to the Spirit Snake Cave, which surprised Kou Hao and the others. Unlike Kou Hao's expectation, the cave on the small hillside did not lead directly to the other side, let alone the situation behind the hillside.

This cave has been winding underground, led by Deacon Ouyang, Kou Hao and the others followed, all the way along the cave, it turned out that there was such a long passage underground.

The surrounding scenery has changed a lot, but you can see that there is a wide abyss around the passage.

Kou Hao had never seen such a strange landform before, to be more precise, that is, there was a rather empty area underground. It is filled with a very thick poisonous mist miasma, and the surroundings are like an abyss, presenting a very open scene.

And in this underground, the passage is a protruding ridge, maybe this is not appropriate, but in Kou Hao's opinion now, this is really the case.

In such a place filled with poisonous mist and miasma, there are many strange flowers and plants, and there are many spars inlaid on the roadside, flashing with strange brilliance.

"Why are so many extraordinary-looking crystals that have not been taken away by people for a long time, and are only scattered at the entrance of the Spirit Snake Cave?" Lan Xinyue asked curiously.

Most of the valuable spars were found and taken away by others, while most of the rest were spars that looked good but didn't have much effect. It may be possible to unearth a valuable spar from one of them, but that would be too time-consuming, and there is no clear hope. A mustache next to him said.

Kou Hao said: "That's right, of course, the real treasure is in a dangerous and far-reaching place, and it has to go through many tests, and quite a lot of setbacks can be obtained, how can it be directly picked up on the side of the road." ”

The mustache felt that Kou Hao could pay attention to what he said, and he felt quite honored, after all, a master like Kou Hao, in general, should be a very indifferent existence.

In the abyss filled with poisonous mist and miasma, it is impossible to see what is hidden in it, maybe it is not very vast, or maybe this empty abyss extends far away.

After walking a little further, I saw a lot of colorful beetles in front of me, the size of watermelons, crawling among the strange flowers and plants on the ground.

The colorful beetles were looking for food on their own, and only when Kou Hao and the others approached, these colorful beetles would open their teeth and claws because of vigilance, and they were almost about to stand up.

"It's stupid for such a colorful beetle the size of a watermelon to try to get in our way. A warrior with a hammer said disdainfully: "Why don't I go over directly, pick up the hammer, and smash this colorful beetle directly." ”

"Shut up, with your strength and hammer, it's hard to smash the colorful beetle. What's more, once you get your hands on it, it will cause a large swarm of colorful beetles around you to besiege you. If you want to die and jump directly into this abyss, why bother everyone?" Deacon Ouyang scolded angrily.

The warrior with the hammer spread his hands to express his helplessness, but he was just a whim and did not consider the consequences.

Kou Hao glanced at the colorful beetles, and felt that people did not dare to rush to take their carapaces, one was afraid of being besieged by the colorful beetles, and the other was that their caraverts were too tough to rebuild into a new form.

The colorful beetle that intended to provoke Kou Hao and the others opened its teeth and claws for a while, and found that no one paid attention to it, so it had to turn its head and continue to look for food on the ground, making a "snort" sound. Since people don't care about it, then it won't be so boring to leap up and fight with people.

Colorful beetles are strange, and if you attack a few of them, you will be besieged by them. If people ignore him and leave quickly, even if only two or three people pass by, the colorful beetles will not take the initiative to attack.

Essentially, the food that the colorful beetles seek is something scattered on the ground, and as long as people don't pose a big threat to them, then it is all right.

After passing through this area, a fork in the road ahead, such that the ridge-like passage extends quite a distance. If he hadn't seen such a scene with his own eyes, Kou Hao really wouldn't have believed that such a strange place existed in the world.

At this time, many people couldn't help but ask themselves: "Could it be that this underground has been hollowed out?" But such a large-scale hollowing out of the underground is not something that can be done by man, could it be that it was formed naturally before that long ago. ”

Deacon Ouyang led the way to the left, and some shrubs could be seen at certain distances along the way, in short, there were no tall trees in the range of the Spirit Snake Cave. It looks quite desolate, all the exotic flowers and plants are so colorful, but they still can't hide the gloom that the Spirit Snake Cave exudes from its essence.

After a long time, it was already considered to be a relatively deep place in the Spirit Snake Cave, and some warriors could be seen gathered in a corner of the ridge road. They used a very peculiar not big ding, with some herbs burning in it, to attract the surrounding demon beasts one after another.

Of course, not all the demon beasts around will come over in one go, it will be too difficult to deal with, and it is likely to be devastated.

Those specific demon beasts were attracted and gathered one after another, and these warriors worked quite hard to kill them. I have to say that doing such a thing is quite scary, and it is also a hard physical work.

"Don't be muttering there, when you get to the station of our Spirit Snake Cave of our Blood Alliance, you still have to continue to use the Treasure Refining Ding to recruit some valuable demon beasts and kill them. Deacon Ouyang said in a deep voice.

There was no need to ask, it could be heard from Deacon Ouyang's words that they were actually doing this to collect many valuable materials from the demon beasts. These are the cultivation resources that each Blood Alliance needs, and they don't seem to be anything, but they are an important foundation for the existence and development of these Blood Alliances.

If a blood alliance doesn't care about these foundations and lacks cultivation resources, then it won't be long before the entire blood alliance collapses and collapses. If the Blood Alliance could not provide a steady stream of cultivation resources to the members of the Blood Alliance, then it would make them feel uneasy.

There were quite a lot of monsters seen along the way, and they all looked strange, but Kou Hao had never seen these types of monsters in other places before, and he couldn't name them.

Many demon beasts were constantly killed, which was quite miserable, blood stained the ground red, and the corpses of demon beasts continued to pile up on the ground. As for the martial artists, they didn't suffer any sacrifices, after all, when they choose what kind of demon beast to deal with, they will think clearly about whether they can deal with it.

If it is a demon beast that cannot be dealt with, then they will avoid it, and only choose the demon beast that can be completely dealt with, and they will each choose a fixed place, where they will place the refining treasure tripod, and then burn the grass medicine and start to attract and gather specific demon beasts.

"Actually, although this is an underground environment, because the space above the head is very open, and there is a lot of poisonous mist and miasma, so that when you look up, it looks like the sky, but you can't see the sun and the stars. Kou Hao said in his heart.

In some of the more open mountain paths, there are rivers running across, and there are more monsters in and around the rivers. Because there is a lot of food here, all kinds of monsters can inhabit here.

No blood alliance would be so stupid to hunt demon beasts by this river, otherwise once it arouses the anger of these various demon beasts, then they will attack it in groups, and who can resist it? Maybe a big blood alliance like the Ancient Sword can deal with it, but it will also pay a lot of sacrifices, and the benefits obtained are completely insufficient, so it will be meaningless.

"Kou Daxia, you see how beautiful those three-tailed white foxes are, if you can take one of them as a pet, how nice it would be!" Lan Xinyue said suddenly.

Kou Hao turned his head and glanced at it, and said, "When you have time to pass by, find a quiet time, when most of these demon beasts are sleeping, I will quickly catch a three-tailed white fox and give it to you." ”

Lan Xinyue is very smart and considerate, and when she heard Kou Hao say this, she smiled and said no more. She and Kou Hao don't have to say thank you, because since they met in the desert, Kou Hao took care of her too much, and this kind of friendship is no longer comparable to a few words of thanks.

As the saying goes, great grace is not grateful, but only in the future with actual benefits to repay.

On the other hand, Kou Hao never thought of letting Lan Xinyue repay his kindness, he has always been very optimistic about Lan Xinyue, so he takes care of it so much. When a person has a very important person in his heart who needs him to protect, then no matter what his strength is, he will burst out from the bottom of his heart with very real strength, which will be very amazing.

Lan Xinyue glanced at Kou Hao deeply, but Kou Hao was looking at the sky obscured by the dark green miasma. Maybe it shouldn't be called the sky, after all, they stay underground.

Along the way, even if they encountered some vicious demon beasts, they were frightened away by so many people. What's more, many demon beasts live in groups and have their own territory, so they won't wander around on this ridge road.

What surprised Kou Hao the most was that on this ridge road, he occasionally saw some tall armored warriors without heads, who carried a war drum on their stomachs and kept beating forward. And such a warrior also carries a longbow or battle axe behind his back.

"Is this also a demon beast?" Kou Hao asked with a frown.

"That's right, of course a person can't survive without a head, and this demon beast is not without a head, but a very ancient demon beast descended from Xingtian. Deacon Ouyang said. (To be continued.) )
