Chapter 157 Sleepless night
In the dense forest.
The three figures rushed forward in a hurry, not choosing their own path, and the mud and water they trampled were splashing everywhere.
Suddenly, a tall figure blocked their way.
Without seeing who it was, Liu Yu drew out his lancet knife and slashed forward, a cold light burst out from the tip of the knife.
Before the sword light got close to the black shadow, it disappeared without a trace as if it was swallowed up by the night.
Liu Yu's face turned pale, he turned around and shouted towards Rong Tiantian behind him: "Tian Tian, run quickly!"
"It's me!" Lin Chenben lit the Heavenly Wolf staff, and the fire burned brightly. The surrounding temperature suddenly increased, and the rain in the air turned into mist and evaporated.
The man in front of him had a face as jade and a figure as tall as a tree. His brows were full of energy. He was dressed in a green shirt. He was simple and clear. The corners of his mouth were curved in a charming angle, and he was smiling faintly at himself.
Even though he was running for his life, Liu Yu couldn't help but be distracted for a moment. This man was so handsome.
Then he reacted, holding knives in both hands, still on guard, and asked doubtfully: "Who are you?"
"He is your senior brother Lin!" A figure rushed up from behind, it was Ding Liqiang.
"Deacon Ding, are you okay?" Liu Yu leaned over. Only a short time had passed. When he saw Ding Liqiang's serious injury healed, he felt incredible and looked at Ding Liqiang up and down.
"Not only is Deacon Ding okay, we... are also safe!" Mumba jumped out of the dense forest, holding his knees with both hands, and said out of breath.
"Really? We are safe? Deacon Ding, which Senior Brother Lin are you talking about? In my impression..."
"I know, it's brother Chen, it must be!" Rong Tiantian put He Hu aside and couldn't wait to jump towards Lin Chenben.
"Brother Chen, Brother Chen!" Rong Tiantian was as happy as a deer and jumped into Lin Chenben's arms.
"Brother Chen, since you and the leader disappeared, there have been rumors in the sect that you stole the Seven Treasures Pagoda and then flew away. We don't believe it. Where have you been during this time? Everyone misses you so much!
"Rong Tiantian has grown a lot in the past year. She has just reached Lin Chenben's waist. At this time, she still has two pigtails and she raised her head and asked curiously.
Lin Chenben stroked Rong Tiantian's braid with one hand, bent down, and gently scratched her nose, "I miss you, brother. I miss you too. Let's go, let's find a place to stay first."
"Okay, listen to Brother Chen in everything!"
.....
I don’t know how long it took, but it rained all night and finally stopped.
At this time, three people gathered around Lu Xinghuo's body, looking for something.
"Brother, those reckless people from the Iron Sand Sect simply don't take our Demon Slayer Sect seriously. Dozens of Xinghuo's people were all killed. I don't know what treacherous methods they used, but one thing is certain.
This must have been done by them." The one next to him
The man in his early twenties said through gritted teeth.
"Last night, Xinghuo lost contact after he played the communication talisman. He said in his message that the five people from the Iron Sand Sect are only at the middle level of the Kaiyuan Realm. Xinghuo is at the high level of the Kaiyuan Realm. They definitely can't kill Xinghuo.
I think the information from the previous investigation was wrong." The man called Big Brother has an extremely thin body, as if he is just like a layer of skin covering the bones, and his face is sunken and ferocious.
"But, it doesn't matter. Let's go back and report to Brother Qingyan first. They can't escape." After saying that, the man spilled a handful of venom, and Lu Xinghuo's headless body rotted quickly. Not even the bones were left, blending into the filthy
In the muddy water, it completely disappeared.
The sky is twilight.
In a large tree hole, the firelight illuminated the hole clearly.
There were countless empty wine jars around the cave, just like they were lying on the ground at this moment. It was Lin Chenben, Ding Liqiang and their group.
Last night everyone had a great time chatting and drinking. Lin Chenben slowly recounted what he had experienced over the past year over a glass of snow wine. It was both thrilling and thrilling, which made Rong Tiantian yearn for it.
When he heard that he was chased for more than a thousand miles by Fu Zhonghong's huge fireball for Hanchan, and almost lost his soul, Rong Tiantian had a worried expression on his face and couldn't help but hold Lin Chenben's arm and look around.
When he heard that Lin Chen had handed over the wind and thunder beast that he had spent 80 spirit stones gambling on, Rong Tiantian laughed loudly, making everyone laugh. She usually drank a lot, but she didn't know how to drink.
Unknowingly, a smile appeared on his face, and finally, whether it was because he couldn't resist sleepiness or drunkenness, he fell asleep in his clothes with an innocent smile.
The time for joyful gatherings is always short.
By the time everyone woke up, noon had arrived.
Everyone is busy cleaning up.
"Brother Chen, I don't want you to leave." Rong Tiantian dragged Lin Chenben's arm and said coquettishly.
"Tian Tian, please don't mess around. I guess Brother Lin has something important to attend to, so we can't delay." Ding Liqiang said seriously, and then walked forward.
"Little brother Lin, I, Ding Liqiang, really saw the right person. It has only been more than a year, and your level has already been beyond the reach of Brother Ding." "...Ahem, um, don't you really want to stay for two more days?"
"Yes, yes, brother, please stay a few more days. If we hadn't met you this time, we would have died. Brother is the lucky star, shining above our heads." Mumba came up and said with a playful smile.
"Yes, Senior Brother Lin, please stay for two more days." Everyone agreed.
"Yes, Senior Brother Lin, if you don't have anything important to do, please stay for a few more days. The little girl hasn't come yet, so I can thank you very much." Liu Yu's face turned reddish, and after speaking, he lowered his head, not daring to look directly.
.
"Brother Ding, to tell you the truth, my purpose this time is to take a look at the mysterious Tianyuan, and then go to the most prosperous Sun and Moon Castle in Liuyun Continent.
There is nothing else to do when you come out, why not go to the Sun and Moon Castle together?"
Everyone looked at Ding Liqiang, while Rong Tiantian jumped up excitedly, fully expecting Ding Liqiang's decision.
"Bringing them out for the trial this time is actually not a mission sent by the sect, but just to increase their knowledge. If they want to survive in the world of cultivation, they must become stronger. At the same time, I believe that after this incident, they will also
Really grow up." Ding Liqiang looked at the four of them seriously.
"Uncle Ding, don't worry. After what happened last night, we have deeply realized that in this world, the strong are respected, and we will definitely not disappoint you. Haven't you also been to Sun Moon Castle? You just happened to take us with you.
Come and see." Rong Tiantian was full of endless daydreams about the Sun Moon Castle, and his thoughts had already drifted into the distance.
"Humph, you are so clever. Our mission has not been completed this time. We will wait until you complete it successfully." Ding Liqiang did not refuse.
"Oh, by the way, Brother Ding, what happened last night, what was the reason that made them desperately hunt you down." Lin Chenben suddenly asked.
Ding Liqiang told what happened from beginning to end, and in the end he could only sigh helplessly.
"Oh, Brother Ding, is it possible that they will come back to seek revenge?" Lin Chenben heard the worry hidden in Ding Liqiang's words, and his face instantly turned cold.
"The Demon Slayer Sect has always been cruel and ruthless. They have suffered a big loss in this matter. How could they let it go so easily? The man you killed last night was named Lu Xinghuo. He was at the middle level of the Kaiyuan Realm at a young age and was a rising star of the Demon Slayer Sect.
, they have a certain reputation in their sect, but the people they came to this time are not just Lu Xinghuo. It is said that their leader has reached the peak of Kaiyuan Realm. Alas, you have also seen that they act unscrupulously, Persimmon
You're being picky, but Brother Ding is only at the middle level of Kaiyuan Realm, and he can't protect their safety even at the risk of his life."
"In that case, let them never come back. We will be careful these two days. I will go with you to capture the other second-level monsters." After saying that, Lin Chenben took out a large number of low-grade spirits from his storage bag.
Stone, elixir.
"Tiantian, come here. Brother Chen has prepared spiritual stones for you. You must step up your practice and break through the Qi Condensation Realm in one fell swoop."
"Brother Chen, last time it was because of the spirit stones you left us that our cultivation speed was much faster than that of our fellow seniors. This time, we will not let Brother Chen down." Rong Tiantian saw it at a glance.
In addition to being shocked by such a large number of spiritual stones, the only thing left was excitement. He took Lin Chenben's hand and shook it left and right.
"As the saying goes, those who see it have a share. I have worked hard to get these spiritual stones. Now these are the only things I can help you with, but these are nothing. The most important thing is that I have refined them myself.
Magic weapon, I used to rely on it to avoid being chased by the powerful people at the top of the Five Illusions Realm."
