Xue Ju was very tired, he had never felt so tired, even if he absorbed enough spiritual energy from the spirit stone, he couldn't stop the fatigue of his body.

He needed to find a place to rest, but he didn't dare stay in the dark jungle, the noses of the night beasts were too sensitive for him to stop for more than a certain amount of time, and they would be spotted, so he had to keep walking forward so that the smell didn't gather in one place for too long.

But even so, along the way, he always encountered those night beasts who came out to hunt alone, they were isolated from the old and sick, and their thirst for food was especially strong, and a fierce battle was always inevitable if they encountered, and he killed at least three of these night beasts along the way, and now even the hand holding the rapier was a little trembling.

"Help!"

A woman's cry for help could be heard in the dense forest not far away.

Xue Ju stopped, but looked at his sword-holding hand, shook his head, and continued to move forward.

"Ahh

The screams came, and then from the forest diagonally opposite, a tall female disciple in Tsing Yi staggered out, her clothes were disheveled, her hair was scattered, and she couldn't see her face clearly, and she ran towards this side desperately.

Immediately behind her was a sky-tall Night Beast, its body passing through the trees without any obstruction.

The Night Beast is a wood-based magical beast, born with a fear of light, likes to be active in the dark night, in addition to having a strong physique and sharp claws, it is also good at the art of wood escape, of course, only the Night Beast that has reached the third level will stimulate this natural supernatural power.

Xue Ju couldn't avoid it at this time, so he had no choice but to clench the thin sword with his hand, staring at the night beast coming this way with all his attention.

The female disciple seemed to be exhausted, and when she was still a foot away from Xue Ju, she fell to the ground, she struggled to get up from the ground, but she seemed weak.

Xue Ju shook his head, jumped up, raised his thin sword and stabbed directly at the night beast that followed closely.

With his current strength, he couldn't do any damage to a third-level night beast with his sword qi alone, he had to cultivate to the point where the sword qi condensed silk!

This Level 3 Night Beast was defeated and wounded while competing with another of the same rank for the leader of the clan. It had an unusually irritable temperament, and it did not avoid Xue Ju's thin sword, and swung its right arm over, and its fingernails flashed with cold light and landed on the thin sword.

Xue Ju only felt that his arm was numb, and the whole person flew to the side under a strong force, and the third-level night beast's nails were just white marks!

Xue Ju, who flew out sideways, spun around, kicked his feet on a big tree, and then held the thin sword with both hands again, and the man and the sword seemed to become a whole, pointing directly at the waist and ribs of the third-level night beast.

This is one of the most vulnerable parts of the Night Beast, and Xue Ju is going to attack the first few Night Beasts here!

Sure enough, the third-level night beast turned around, roared angrily with a big mouth, stretched out its arm, and grabbed the thin sword that stabbed at the opposite side.

But a strange scene happened, the thin sword suddenly emitted a dazzling silver light, passed through the claws that grabbed at it, and pierced directly into the body.

"Woo-" The third-level night beast let out a terrible cry, and the hand that grasped the thin sword pulled the sword out of its body with force, and its body fell backwards and retreated a few feet away before escaping into the darkness.

Xue Ju fell to the ground, kneeling down on one knee with a thin sword in his right hand, the beads of sweat on his forehead fell to the ground and made a snapping sound, his eyes rolled, and his divine sense shrouded the nearby area of more than ten zhang inside, but he did not find any trace of the injured night beast.

He deliberately hid his strength in the first blow just now, so that the third-level night beast thought that he could grab the thin sword with his claws, and only when he attacked the second time, did he completely urge the spiritual power to completely urge the prohibition on the thin sword, and unexpectedly gave it a heavy blow!

It's a pity that Xue Ju is too tired, his attack power is not as good as before, and this third-level night beast reacts quickly, and under the pain, he broke free from the thin sword and fled into the jungle.

The tall female disciple had already stood up at this time, she seemed to be nervous, and leaned towards Xue Ju.

"Don't move there, it's still nearby!" Xue Ju shouted.

The female disciple did not stop as he said, but walked a little faster.

Xue Ju looked at her tall figure and suddenly remembered something, and his face became ugly: "Stop and don't move, I'm not welcome to come over again!"

Only then did the female disciple stop.

"Who are you, the female disciple we came out this time is not as tall as you!"

"Senior Brother, don't you remember me, I'm Senior Sister Ning Hua!" The tall female disciple suddenly pulled the hair that covered her cheeks back, revealing a slightly pale and delicate face.

Xue Ju couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the woman's face!

He is a disciple of the Empty Sword Hall, one of the three major sword halls, Shui Ninghua is his senior sister, although there is rarely any intersection between the two, they are still familiar with each other, and last year's Blackwater Valley Trial Shui Ninghua is one assigned by the Empty Sword Hall.

Luojia Mountain and Cangyue Sect are different in the personnel arrangement of the trial, most of the Cangyue Sect is forcibly arranged, while Luojia Mountain is mostly volunteers, and Shui Ninghua is one of them.

Sword cultivation values the sword weapon in his hand the most, but it is difficult to get a spiritual sword weapon, although the sword tripod can be put into three hundred and thirty-three sword weapons at the same time to temper, but it is not a matter of one or two years to give birth to spirituality. There are more than 10,000 disciples in Luojia Mountain, and the most direct way to get a spiritual sword weapon is to participate in the annual Blackwater Valley trial.

Even if the chance of obtaining the recognition of the sword weapon that has bred spirituality in the sword tripod is less than one percent, there are still many disciples who enthusiastically sign up for it regardless of life and death, and this is what makes sword cultivation different from other monks!

At the moment when Xue Ju was in a daze, the wind behind him protruded, he frowned, did not look back, and the thin sword in his hand barbed out with dazzling silver light.

Without stabbing, the third-level night beast already knew that it was powerful, and its body quickly retreated into the darkness behind it and disappeared.

Xue Ju turned around slowly, his gaze swept around, with his cultivation, although it was pitch black all around, the naked eye could also observe the scenery within a zhang.

After a while, his pupils shrank, and he walked forward to a big tree on the left, Shui Ninghua behind looked at his back, his eyes flickered, his hands were clenched tightly, his cheeks twitched a little, and his right foot stepped forward and his body trembled a few times and then retracted, as if he was trying to restrain something.

At this time, Xue Ju's forward body paused, and then continued forward, and suddenly his entire body flew up diagonally like a spring, and the thin sword stabbed into a big tree on the right like a bolt of lightning.

"Uhhh

The screams resounded throughout the jungle, the big tree broke, and the thin sword stabbed into the body of the third-level dark night beast hidden in it, Xue raised his wrist, and the silver light wrenched a bloody flower in its chest, and the dark night beast hidden in the big tree didn't understand how Xue Ju saw through its hidden position until death, and why she didn't make a move? These monks really couldn't believe it, it was a little dead and fell backwards with a pair of big eyes open.

"I don't know if the blood stains are exposed on the trees outside, what do you have to look at!" Xue Ju muttered to himself, splitting his head with a sword, and taking out a black crystal with three lines and putting it in the storage bag.

Of course, he wouldn't let go of the corpse of this third-level night beast, and after a little processing, he also put it in a storage bag.

He turned around and saw that Shui Ninghua was still standing in place, and sighed and said, "Senior sister, let's go!"

Tears flowed from Shui Ninghua's eyes, and then she turned around and slowly walked into the dense forest.

Xue Ju looked at her departing back, and a nameless sadness welled up in his heart, and he paid close attention to Shui Ninghua's every move just now.

Shui Ninghua wanted to make a move from behind several times but held back, he could feel it, but what could this be? She had been demonized, and her current actions might be to win her sympathy and take her out of Blackwater Valley.

But how could she, who had already been demonized, get out of the inside, I was afraid that the moment the passage opened, that is, when she died, the two Jindan Stage elders outside would never release a demonized disciple from inside!

He sighed and resumed his walk towards the edge of the jungle.

―――――――――――――

On the rocky beach, Qin Pei, Long Xiang and Shang Yang looked at Yuan Jiading in the middle in surprise, not knowing what Xie Ling was going to do!

"Xie Ling, you don't plan to refine weapons here, do you?" Long Xiang couldn't help but ask.

"Long Xiang, you really deserve to be my good brother, you can actually guess it!" Xie Ling smiled.

The other two were dumbfounded, he really planned to set up a Ding refining weapon here! Even Qin Pei, who had always known Xie Ling's personality, couldn't help but say, "You really plan to refine the weapon here?"

"Yes, didn't you say it's better to play with them?" Xie Ling used a spell to activate the fire ban inside, and the furnace immediately produced a raging fire.

Shang Yang thought a little, Xie Ling wouldn't do this for no reason, he seemed to think of something, but he wasn't sure.

"Don't forget, these guys are very afraid of fire!" Xie Ling said as he urged Yuan Jia Ding.

"Oh no, they're starting to move!" Shang Yang's face suddenly changed.

Then force them all to the ground first, Xie Ling finished saying a little furnace ding, and the ding lid flew to the side, and the raging flames in the furnace immediately gushed out from inside.

This Yuanjia Ding sacrificed three fire bans, a Xunfeng ban, a Cheng ban and a Kanshui ban.

Xie Ling had already activated all the prohibitions except for the Kanshui Ban, and the fire took advantage of the wind to spread to the rocky beach on the opposite side at an incredible speed under Xie Ling's control.

This rocky beach was originally close to the cliff wall, only a hundred zhang wide, with Xie Ling's cultivation, it was enough to spread the flames to a distance of fifty zhang.

Together with the other three, the entire rocky beach was immediately in flames except for a small place in the middle.

More than a dozen night beasts on the edge of the dark night jungle on the opposite side fled into the woods in horror, they themselves were wood-attribute magical beasts, and they were born with some fear of fire, such a large sea of fire made them immediately lose interest in a few people on the rocky beach.

Xie Ling saw that the ground armor beasts had all burrowed into the ground, and smiled, and Yuan Jia Ding's three fire prohibitions prevented him from removing two, and only one remained to maintain the fire on the rocky beach.

"Long Xiang, you are responsible for maintaining the fire on the rocky beach, just don't let it go out. ”

"Well, no problem!" Long Xiang said.

The current Yuan Jia Ding only stimulated three prohibitions, and Long Xiang's cultivation and fire control techniques were enough to deal with it.

"Then what are we going to do?" Qin Pei said.

"Let's go hunting beasts!" Xie Ling said with a cold light in his eyes.
