Chapter 6: Natural Selection (4)
The sun is setting in the west, and the lake breeze is getting cooler.
On the shore of the blue lake, several anxious shouts echoed in the sky above the lake.
"Hmm......" Leng Yue woke up slowly. She was awakened by the sound of screams.
"How come I'm still alive?" Zhang Fan!" Leng Yue exclaimed and stood up from the beach suddenly, not feeling anything unusual.
"Senior sister...... Masters...... Help us......" Several cries came from afar. When she turned around, she saw a long lizard chasing the two bloodied wolf boys running desperately towards this side.
Seeing this, Leng Yue was secretly angry, and said coldly: "Don't come here, otherwise I will kill you with a sword." A young man said: "Senior sister, I'm Murong Qianji, you can save us." ”
"Ah...... Brother Qianji, save me......" A young man behind him wailed bitterly. Leng Yue finally saw the person clearly, but saw that a young man's hind foot was bitten by a lizard, and the person fell on the beach all of a sudden.
She was furious in her heart, and shouted: "Look for death!" As she spoke, she shot like a female leopard lightning at the lizard dozens of feet away, and the ribbon turned into a sharp sword that cut gold and jade in an instant, and suddenly pierced the lizard's head, and a touch of red and white brains burst out, and the lizard died.
Seeing this, Murong Qianji hurriedly ran over and thanked: "Thank you, senior sister, thank you, senior sister, senior sister has saved her life, and Qianji will definitely be rewarded." ”
Leng Yue said coldly: "It's just a gesture, have you ever seen Zhang Fan?" Murong Qianji shook his head and said in surprise: "Brother Zhang is also here in this Bibo Pond?" Leng Yue shook her head expressionlessly.
"Division...... Sister...... Help me......" A frailly weak moan came out intermittently. Leng Yue was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then pointed to the person on the ground: "Murong Qianji." You carry him on your back, let's get out of here quickly, or no one will survive in a while. ”
"Lizard ......," Murong Qianji said as he looked at the lizard on the ground with a slight hesitation.
"For you. Carry him on your back, and we'll go out of the island to find the Elder of the Trial and see if we can save him." Leng Yue said quickly.
After Murong Qianji was slightly stunned, he quickly took out the lizard inner pill, and then immediately carried the young man on his shoulder. The young man looked at Leng Yue in a daze, and said weakly, "Thank you...... Xie ......" Before he finished speaking, a long whistle sounded.
"Let's go!" Leng Yue shouted. As she spoke, she hurried out. When Murong Qianji looked back, he saw a gray shadow chirping and moving towards this side. Suddenly frightened, I was so frightened that I wished I had grown three legs, and in an instant I rushed out like a rabbit.
The two left less than a moment. A dragon shark that was two feet long swam to the shore and watched its prey disappear without a trace, roaring angrily. It is also helpless, after all, it is too far away from its prey. There's no way to catch them instantly.
Dozens of feet away from the dragon shark. A white shadow surfaced and shouted, "Thank God, I, Zhang Fan, are back again." ”
"Groan!" the dragon shark roared with joy when it saw a new prey appear.
Zhang Fan looked back, and saw the ferocious spirit beast that almost killed him, and he exclaimed that it shot out of the water like lightning, and in a blink of an eye, it was on the beach a few feet away.
"Yin!" the dragon shark opened its white teeth and rushed towards Zhang Fanlai with a roar.
"Damn, are you just a little master who is muddy?" Zhang Fan shouted angrily and took out the blue sword. I don't even want to slash at the dragon shark with a sword. Suddenly, a blue-purple air blade shot into the dragon shark's abdomen like lightning, and the dragon shark split into two in the blink of an eye. Then the cold-blooded stench spilled onto the beach.
"This is the power of magic weapons!" Zhang Fan exclaimed. He couldn't believe his eyes, the dragon shark that had almost killed him before had died.
"Groan, groan, chant......" Several louder long chirps came from afar.
Zhang Fan secretly said that it was not good, and quickly came to the dragon shark's side, and a few swords tightened the dragon shark's useful skin, teeth, bones, and inner pills, and then ran away quickly without a trace, leaving the seeping dragon shark roar far behind.
In fact, the dragon shark that Zhang Fan killed just now was just a juvenile shark, and it couldn't be compared to the dragon shark king who almost digested him as food.
Zhang Fan ran all the way out, ran a short distance before stopping, and said secretly: "Damn, what about Leng Yue?" I only thought about killing fish, but I forgot to check if Leng Yue was on the beach. Before he got out of the water, he carefully searched for a long time in the water, but he didn't see Leng Yue, and his heart was sad, and then he realized that he had forgotten about it.
With a twist in his heart, he turned around and walked back, vowing to see if Leng Yue was unconscious on the beach.
"Quick...... Let's go...... "Several shouts rang out. Zhang Fan was just about to return to the beach when he saw five or six teenagers running desperately towards this side. Behind them was a long trail of bright red blood, several fragments of human limbs scattered with clothing, and a blue crocodile opened its bloody mouth and quickly approached them. Farther away, the lake is full of red waves, and several dragon sharks are fighting for something in the lake.
"Zhang Fan, save us!" As soon as the fleeing crowd saw Zhang Fan, they shouted loudly.
As soon as Zhang Fan saw the visitor, it was Murong Qianxun's dumb disciple, and said secretly: "Master doesn't care if you live or die, you can do whatever you like." "I wanted to turn around and leave. He had already looked at the place where he had killed the dragon shark before, how could there be any trace of Leng Yue, and knew in his heart that she was probably buried in the belly of the fish, and he was in a low mood at this time, even if he had the ability to kill the crocodile, he didn't want to help them.
"Ah...... Ah......h Zhang Fan saw at a glance that the two injured teenagers behind Murong Qianxun and the others were bitten off by the blue crocodile at once, and they died. Even though his heart is as cold as iron, he can't tolerate a living person being killed by a beast.
Seeing the blue crocodile bite a young man again, Zhang Fan shouted angrily: "The beast is looking for death!" As he spoke, he turned into a white electric leopard, rushed towards the blue crocodile, and cut off its entire head with a sword. A stream of blood shot "poof" onto Zhang Fan's already reddish tattered white robe, and suddenly the white robe was dyed red, and the fishy smell dispersed in all directions.
In the astonishment of the teenagers, the young man who was rescued by Zhang Fan hurriedly knelt down and thanked: "Thank you Brother Zhang for saving your life, Zhu Tan is grateful." Then Murong Qianxun and the three of them also said: "Thank you, Brother Zhang, if you hadn't killed the crocodile, the four of us wouldn't have survived." ”
Zhang Fan said lightly: "There is no need to be polite, it's just a gesture." As he spoke, he took out the blue crocodile Neidan and put it away. A few more swords cut the crocodile into four pieces, and said to everyone: "You are one by one, the flesh and blood of the spirit beast are rare treasures." Don't miss out. Everyone gratefully: "Thank you, big brother, thank you, big brother." With that, they quickly took out the pouch and put the crocodile into it.
Seeing this, Zhang Fan said, "Let's go, it's too dangerous here." The group nodded, and then walked away quickly.
The sun was almost setting, and the five of them walked all the way out.
A few people walked. Zhang Fan asked: "You don't need to kill spirit beasts, how did you run to Bibo Pond, haven't you heard that it is dangerous here?" Li Shao hurriedly said: "Big brother." We don't want to come here either, we have already found enough elixir to enter the sect, but who knows at the last moment. Murong Qianji, that kid came to fight with us for a hundred years of ginseng. We have a few brothers who can't get started. ”
Murong Qianxun also said: "Yes, he is a complete villain. I didn't embarrass him for the sake of him being my brother, as long as he shared a ginseng plant with us, who knew that he didn't care whether his brother was dead or alive, and ran directly to Bibotan. Fearing for his safety, we followed, but he lured spirit beasts to attack us. Now we have seventeen or eighteen brothers, and only four of us remain. Murong Qianji is really damned. ”
Zhang Fan secretly said in his heart: "These shameless guys. Obviously, robbing other people's elixir is not calculated, but he said that he has suffered some great grievance. Shameless enough!"
Li Shao said curiously: "Big brother, do you want to hunt spirit beasts here?" Zhang Fan said lightly: "My teammates said that they were going to come to Bibotan for the trial, and I was resting in Bibotan at the time, and I didn't come with me. ”
Murong Qianxun didn't believe it, and said, "Is this really the case?" Zhang Fan said: "You think everyone is as bold as you." The crowd nodded in agreement.
Zhang Fan looked at the red glow in the sky and said, "Let's go faster, otherwise we will have to wait here to die if we miss the elders." As he spoke, his pace doubled. The crowd didn't say much more, and quickly followed.
After a while, the five of them came to the beach outside the island, where nearly twenty teenagers and girls were resting, they were ragged and exhausted.
The old man who first sent Zhang Fan and the others saw the five people coming, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, since you are all here, let's go back to the mountain." As he spoke, a jade disk flew out, enlarged, and fell to the ground.
The young people got on the plate one by one, and then the old man flew into the air with the jade plate and shot out.
On the jade plate, Zhang Fan and Murong Qianxun stayed together, and nearly nineteen other teenagers and girls stayed together, Leng Yue was impressively listed, and seemed to be the head of everyone. It's just that the nineteen young men and women seemed to be full of hatred for Zhang Fan and the five people, and they didn't show a smiling face or a word from beginning to end.
Leng Yue also looked at Zhang Fan lightly, and also did not speak.
Zhang Fan was helpless and asked, "Leng Yue, what's wrong with you?" Leng Yue said lightly: "You are willing to be with the devil, even if I am Leng Yue's blindness." ”
"But ......," Zhang Fan wondered. Leng Yue said lightly: "You are not dead, I don't owe you anything at all." Since then, we have been cut in two. ”
Zhang Fan was speechless when he saw the teenagers and girls looking at him coldly. At this time, Murong Qianxun said coldly: "This world is a world where the strong are respected, don't think that we have done too much, when you become monks, you will naturally understand this truth." "He seemed to be a weather-beaten monk in an instant, cold and cruel in his heart.
"Yes, little baby. The old man on the side smiled, "Don't think that so many people died today is a big deal. In fact, in your future cultivation, some of you will also die like them. ”
"Impossible, since we have become monks, we have an endless lifespan, as long as we hide and cultivate, who will find us?" said a young man suddenly.
The old man smiled: "This is the key to this. If you just want to live a life in peace and ease, and don't want to live the immortal path, then why bother cultivating immortals? Isn't the mortal world prosperous enough? Cultivating immortals is a process of fighting with the sky, fighting with people, and fighting with yourself. ”
The young people had mixed feelings in their hearts and were silent.
After a while, the jade plate flew to the top of a mountain, which was Beiming Island, where the sect was located. The old man said: "It's here, you guys are standing firm, I don't want you disciples who were screened by spirit beasts to fall to death again." As he spoke, his mind moved, and he fell to a square below. (To be continued......)
