Chapter 24: Danger in the Deep Forest (1)
People tend to see birds with wings as freedom and hope, which is incomplete. Just like this strange black dove, full of intrigue is nothing but conspiracy.
This strange black dove fluttered its wings and soon flew over the Hatchling Dragon's Courtyard. But instead of resting on the eaves or courtyard walls, like other birds, it plunged headlong into the most remote and dirty corners. It's like a drop of ink, blending into the shadows. And the shadows were like the surface of the water, and there was a ripple. A small, undetectable ripple spread out along the darkness and in all directions.
In the mezzanine on the top floor of the small building, an old man with a withered face emerged from the darkness that had not seen the light of day all year round. The old man felt the slightest fluctuation, and a dark smile appeared on his already withered and emaciated face.
"Hey...... The last actor is already in place. Then, the show is about to begin. It's going to be a lot of excitement in the deep forest......"
At the same time, in the forest not far from the Hatchling Dragon Courtyard, two groups of people groped their way through the two ends of the forest, as if each was looking for something.
Jun Yan followed the villagers into the forest to find Zhang Orion, who had not returned so far. With the concerted efforts of everyone, they soon searched the outer edge of the forest, but there was still no sign of Zhang Orion. The sun was already setting in the west, and it was extremely dangerous to rush into the deep forest at this time.
"What should I do?" said Blacksmith Peng, who gathered the villagers together in the deep forest stone plate, and asked everyone. Seeing that the sun is about to set, it is a great danger to go into the deep forest to search, and if you don't go into the deep forest to search, I am afraid that the chances of Zhang Orion's survival will be even more slim. To go in or not to go in, that's the question.
The people in front of them did not answer, but the intention of hesitation and retreat was obvious. Blacksmith Peng shook his head, he also knew that it was already benevolent and righteous for this group of people to put down their subsistence labor to help search for them, and it was not appropriate for everyone to risk their lives to go into the deep forest at night. What's more, Zhang Orion is afraid that he has already been more than lucky, and every young man here is also the pillar of the family, if he really takes one, he will ruin another family.
Just as Blacksmith Peng was about to open his mouth to announce that he would give up the search, a slightly immature voice suddenly came from beside him.
"Go back, villagers, the deep forest is still very dangerous at night. Then leave it to me, I'll enter the deep forest to search for Zhang Orion!" Jun Yan turned over and jumped onto the deep forest stone, announcing to everyone.
When everyone heard Jun Yan's words, they instantly became confused - this kid is too ignorant of the sky, right?
Blacksmith Peng was frightened into a cold sweat when he heard this, in case something really happened to this young master, any old man in the Young Dragon Courtyard would be able to make their group of people die as many times as he wanted. Hurriedly persuaded: "Little master, this must not be! Zhang Orion ...... He's been missing for so long, I'm afraid he's long gone, you don't need to risk your life!"
In order to prevent Jun Yan from taking risks, Blacksmith Peng didn't even care about avoiding it.
Looking at the people under the deep forest stone, some laughed at him, some pitied him, some worried about him, some worried about Zhang Orion but did not dare to enter the deep forest, and some people had long wanted to quit. At this moment, Jun Yan seemed to begin to understand what it meant to be in the world.
The memory valve in the Ultimate Fantasy Realm seemed to have suddenly loosened, and the dusty book of memories turned another page, no longer obscure.
"Is it because I have experienced too little that it is difficult for me to read the memories of the Supreme Illusion Realm?" Jun Yan had a hint of enlightenment.
Taking a deep breath, Jun Yan closed his eyes and ignored the noise of the crowd. When he opened his eyes again, Jun Yan's eyes were full of light, and the coercion of the cultivators of the twelfth level of general knowledge was all on display.
Mystery - Shenwei!
With the blessing of the skill, Jun Yan's not even majestic coercion has gained a bit of momentum, not to mention that Jun Yan is only facing a group of mortals who have not yet opened their spiritual apertures.
The coercion made the scene quiet for an instant, and then the villagers remembered that this amiable person who was talked about by them was not an ordinary person, but the "little young master" in the Young Dragon Courtyard, a genuine cultivator. Everyone looked at each other and no longer dared to speak.
"It's kind of a stoppage. Jun Yan thought to himself. Jumping down from the deep forest stone again, Jun Yan walked up to Blacksmith Peng, smiled kindly, and said, "Uncle Peng, you should go back first! What's more, Shen Hao has already returned to the Young Dragon Courtyard to find the ancient, with the ancient strength, he will soon be able to sweep through this forest, you can rest assured!"
"This ......," Blacksmith Peng grimaced.
"Rest assured. How could Jun Yan not know what Blacksmith Peng was worried about, and promised: "Whether I live or die, it has nothing to do with you. ”
Sometimes people lament that the world is hot and cold, which makes people feel cold. You think he's worried about you, but he's just worried about himself.
But what does it matter? They're just little people, and the little people take care of themselves, and they have their own heroes to support this world.
What's more, after returning home, which of them is not a hero who supports a home?
"Let's go!" Jun Yan stopped looking at everyone, turned around and walked into the depths of the forest.
The sky had gradually darkened, and it was even darker in the leafy forest. There is no moon tonight, and it is difficult for his eyes to capture the scene, so Jun Yan can only rely on his spiritual sense and grope in the deep forest with difficulty.
"Where will Zhang Orion be?" Jun Yan thought seriously as he leaned over to search. All kinds of weeds and shrubs became more and more dense, and Jun Yan's body also unconsciously had a few more scratches.
By the way, the water source!" Jun Yan suddenly thought. If Zhang Orion had stayed in the deep forest for six days, he would have already drunk the water he was carrying, and if he was alive, he would definitely look for a water source! Jun Yan immediately straightened up, selected the tallest tree around, and skillfully climbed to the top of the tree.
"Where is the water source?" Jun Yan was looking around at the top of the tree, hoping to find traces of the river. However, at this time, it was already getting night, and it was getting late, and it was difficult for Jun Yan to see the direction of the river.
Suddenly, Jun Yan faintly saw a figure in the darkness, jumping back and forth on the top of the tree, approaching him quickly. Is it the ancient head? At this time, he will come to the deep forest and can move quickly on the tips of the trees, except for the ancient head Jun Yan, there is no one else.
"Old head, I'm here!" Jun Yan shouted with his arms waving his arms. The visitor did not respond, and continued to beat continuously on the top of the tree, gradually approaching Jun Yan.
No, Jun Yan noticed something unusual: the figure of the ancient head should not be so burly. Just as Jun Yan raised his guard, the comer also broke into Jun Yan's spiritual sense.
Jun Yan was surprised and puzzled in his heart: When did Zhang Orion become a cultivator? He was actually able to move quickly on the tip of a tree. After careful inspection with his spiritual sense, he found that this Orion tilted his head, his expression was demented, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be drooling, revealing a strange feeling everywhere......
On the other side of the deep forest, two teams of about ten people each were also exploring in the deep forest. One of the teams was the team that stopped Jun Yan and Lei Ze that day, while the other was led by a woman with a hot body. Both teams wore white cloaks and covered their faces with white cloths, and their clothing was very uniform.
"Blanching Feather, didn't Lord Longyi tell us to gather our team and not act rashly? If we let the adults know about our rash actions like this, I'm afraid we will be punished!" asked the tall and hot woman with a group of people to the man in white beside her.
The man known as Blanched Feather smiled and explained, "Orders are dead, but those who can carry them out are alive. We haven't found the exact whereabouts of His Highness until now, Lord Longyi returned to China to invite Lord Longya to come to help, isn't this kind of small work of finding people still you and I lead the team to do it, what does it matter if it is earlier?"
Moving his eyes to the woman's hot figure, the desire in Zhuo Yu's eyes was undisguised, and he leaned into the woman's ear and whispered: "And you think about it, if you wait until Lord Dragon's Tooth arrives, what credit will we have for these little shrimps?" Only by finding His Highness now or even bringing it back to His Highness, will we have a share of credit!"
After saying that, Zhuo Yu waved his hands, pretended to look helpless, and continued: "Xuanxuan, you don't want us to work hard for ten years without any credit, maybe we have to bear the charge of 'incompetence', right?"
His eyes wavered, and there was obviously some hesitation. But looking back at the brothers who had worked hard with her for ten years, and then thinking about the nobles in the empire, maybe they would really blame them for disliking the time it took to find His Royal Highness, and finally compromised.
"Alright then, Blanched Feather. My team is with you!, but are you sure that the kid you found is His Royal Highness?"
"Of course I'm sure, that's what Lord Longyi said. Otherwise, how could he go back to China directly to invite Lord Dragon's Tooth?" Zhuo Yu pulled a tiger skin and said something unnecessary.
With a wicked smile on his face, Zhuo Yu approached Xuan Xuan again, put his hand on the woman's shoulder and said, "Don't forget, how did you promise me......"
Being suddenly approached, his body trembled for a while, but in the end he sighed, did not take away Zhuo Yu's hand, but said helplessly: "Wait until the matter is done......
Just as Zhuo Yu wanted to make further movements, an explosion suddenly sounded in the deep forest, and there seemed to be a slight fluctuation of spiritual power in the air.
Is there a fight going on?, Zhuo Yu wondered.
Of course, Xuan Xuan also noticed the movement in the deep forest, and took the opportunity to take a step sideways, got rid of the salty pig hand that had blanched the feathers, and asked him, "There seems to be someone fighting over there, can you go and take a look?"
"No need!" Zhuo Yu snorted coldly and said tirelessly: "The dog-eat-dog of the Huangnan Empire, we don't need to participate. What's more, we are already operating in secret, so we don't want to cause more trouble. ”
"Let's go!" Blanched Feather gathered up the group, ready to get around a little. Xuan also followed closely with his teammates.
But the reality is that sometimes it is like this, when you don't want to find trouble, trouble just finds you.
The sound of the battle not far away had disappeared, and Zhuo Yu and Xiao Xuan and the others thought that they had avoided the battlefield of others, but they did not want to collide with them head-on while walking.
Zhuo Yu and Xiao Xuan and the others saw a small person suddenly appear in the darkness, both sides were stunned for a moment, and before they could use their spiritual sense to probe this person, they changed directions and hurriedly escaped. After a while, a person in a shadow came out, ignoring Zhuo Yu and Xiao Xuan and the others, and chased directly in the direction of the previous person.
This...... The crowd was puzzled, but the team continued to march. Suddenly, one of the servants broke away from the line and rushed to the front row.
"Captain Zhuo, shall we ignore them and explore the other side of the forest?" the servant asked in a flattering voice, bending over.
"Of course, what nonsense!" Zhuo Yu was already feeling upset by being bumped into one after another, and at this time, the members of the team came to ask some nonsense, which made him even more annoyed.
"But......" The servant still had something to say.
"No, but, let me go back to the team!" Blanched Feather was angry and had nowhere to go, and kicked his teammates to the ground with a kick.
The servant fell to the ground with a groan, but still didn't want to return to the team, but instead pointed to Zhuo Yu's chest and shouted: "But Captain Zhuo, the starlight crystal on your chest seems to be bright!"
Looking down, there was indeed a faint glimmer of light that was not easy to detect from the clothes on his chest, and Zhuo Yu thought that this unlucky guy who was kicked to the ground by him had sharper eyesight than ordinary people. Hurriedly took out the thing hidden in his chest, and Zhuo Yu was stunned - the starlight crystal was actually lit up!
"Damn!" Zhuo Yu reacted at this time, slapped his thigh and shouted: "I said why is that person so short, it turns out that it is a child! That is His Royal Highness the Prince!"
"Hurry up and chase me!" didn't care about helping his teammates who fell to the ground, Zhuo Yu hurriedly beckoned his teammates to chase back. Only the servant who fell to the ground was stunned, and only after half a beat was slow down before he hurriedly chased after his teammates.
