Vol 2 Chapter 83: Mountain forest

Chapter 83 Mountain Forest
Shen Shi was taken aback, watching Zhong Qinglu stare at her eyes, but for a moment he didn't know what to say. Speaking in detail, of course, his three adventures were because of the spiritual embarrassment in his cultivation. As for the private transaction with Zhong Qinglu when he was a teenager, it was nothing more than adding to the burden and heavier pressure.
He asked himself, even if there was no Yuzhong Qinglu deal back then, and without the support of his family, he would eventually venture to hunt on the Demon Island in order to earn more spiritual crystals faster. So at this moment, Zhong Qinglu's words had a faint sense of self-blame, but Shen Shi was a little ashamed, hesitated for a moment, and smiled bitterly:
"You think too much. Actually, regardless of whether there was a deal with you, I was going to Demon Island. Have you forgotten that I have been to Demon Island several times when we concluded the deal?"
Zhong Qinglu seemed to think about it for a while, and then she looked a little better. Without waiting for her to say anything, Shen Shi said again: "And you see, even if I was in danger this time, I actually heard that maybe in the tomb Have……"
Only halfway through the words, Shen Shi suddenly shook his body, as if thinking of something, and looked at the surrounding stone chambers in a blink of an eye, only to see himself and Zhong Qinglu in this cave, and the other furnishings were as usual, all in familiar locations. It just seems to look at it, but after all, there seems to be a familiar figure missing.
Suddenly his face became a little pale, he turned his head to look at Zhong Qinglu with a bit of difficulty, and asked in a bitter voice: "You said that it has been seven days since the Gaoling Mountain had an accident. Then... Xiaohei, where is it? , Can it be well?"
Zhong Qinglu went silent, and after a while, she whispered: "I heard Senior Brother Du said that when I found you in the Gaoling Mountain that day, I saw you fainted and unconscious. There were either corpses or ghosts nearby. Seeing the little black pig you raised, I guess..."
She glanced at Shen Shi's shocked expression, sighed in her heart, and did not continue. But at that moment, Shen Shi only felt a sudden muffled sound in his mind, as if something closest and most important was broken on the ground. For a while, he never reacted anymore, just staring blankly. This empty cave house didn't say a word.
※※※
In the Gaoling Mountains, there are secluded woods.
Dense trees thrive and flourish, forming a vast forest from valleys to mountains. The forests deep in this mountain range have always been inaccessible places for human monks, as well as the residence of various beasts and monsters.
In the years and months, towering old trees can be seen everywhere in the forest, vines and thorns grow everywhere, and all kinds of creatures are fighting with each other to live together. Here is a natural principle for the weak to eat.
Then on this day, a little black pig came over.
It is said to be small, in fact, its body is a circle larger than before. Although it looks a bit smaller compared to adult pig monsters, it is accompanied by the pair of snow-white roosters that Xiao Hei has just grown recently. Ya, already has a somewhat fierce momentum.
It’s just that Xiao Hei came along this road. I don’t know if he has always been tired and lazy with Shen Shi before. He looks like a lazy, with half of the stalk of the grass that doesn’t know its name. Take a few steps and chew it. , I have a leisurely look, and occasionally I will stop and just find a tree trunk next to it, or simply sit down and scratch my neck twice with the hooves of my hind legs, and then continue to move forward when I feel comfortable. , It seems that he is not in a strange place at all, and the beasts and monsters here are always in danger.
Looking at its appearance, the fur on its body is still black and shiny, but some places have been stained with a little dust. I don’t know how it spent the past few days alone in this strange mountain forest, but it seems to be at least So far, this little black pig doesn't seem to have encountered much trouble.
This mountain forest is really big, stretching to several mountain valleys, Xiao Hei wandered in the forest, not knowing where he should go. In the first one or two days, it also tried various methods to find Shen Shi’s trace aura, but after that great earthquake, the two were completely disconnected, no matter how Xiao Hei looked, There is no news of Shen Shi.
By now, Xiao Hei has slowly begun to accept the reality that he may have to live alone in this mountain forest, although a bit at a loss, a bit lonely, a bit depressed, and even a bit longing for Shen Shi, But perhaps by nature, Xiao Hei didn't indulge in sadness too much.
In the middle, fortunately, because of the inaccessibility of the forest in the Gaoling Mountains, there are many kinds of spirit grasses. Although they are not so exaggerated as they can be seen everywhere, they rely on their extremely keen sense of smell for spirit grasses. Xiao Hei quickly solved his food problem in these few days.
Just walk around, you can find some spiritual grass hidden in the corner of the forest without too much effort, and then continue to spend the day leisurely, it seems that this day is actually quite easy.
Xiao Hei opened his mouth and yawned, feeling a bit tired. For the past few days, he either ate or slept, or just wandered aimlessly. The days were simple. But when it comes to sleeping, Xiao Hei raised his head and looked at the tall and tall trees above his head. The thick branches were in the air, and he sighed for no reason.
When I used to follow Shen Shi, every time I spent the night in the wilderness in the mountains and forests, Shen Shi would take it to sleep in a tree, but now he was left alone. After trying several times, he couldn’t climb. Go up.
Xiao Hei looked at those high branches, and suddenly felt a little melancholy in his heart. He grumbled twice, as if he had complained, but the sleepiness just disappeared unconsciously. Xiao Hei hesitated. , Or continue to move forward.
In the clearing under the trees in the forest, weeds and moss coexist with various thorns and vines, vying for the few growth spaces. Xiao Hei looks out of the sharp blades of grass beside him and walks, and suddenly it After a pause, he raised his head and sniffed in the air twice, with a bit of joy in his eyes, and ran forward.
Around the big stone in front, in a crack in the stone to the north under the shade of the tree, Xiao Hei quickly found a blue strange spiritual grass, a ruler that was tall, and a beautiful sapphire blue flower bloomed at the top.
Xiao Hei suddenly laughed happily, threw the half of the grass stalk in his mouth to the ground, ran over the two front hooves and slapped it, and then bit the spirit grass with his mouth and pulled it hard, and immediately took the blue spirit grass. The whole root was pulled out, and the fragrance around for a while, I was drunk with the smell, obviously this blue spirit grass was extraordinary.
Xiao Hei grinned and smiled, looking very happy. He even couldn't help but stick out his tongue and lick the spirit grass. He looked satisfied, but his gaze fell on the half of the spirit grass stem. Go up, after hesitating for a while, suddenly turned his head and looked around, only to see the silence in the woods, except for it, there was no trace of humans and beasts.
Xiao Hei waited for a moment. After confirming that no one was there, he suddenly lowered his head and brought his forehead close to the blue spiritual grass on the ground. At that moment, he saw the black shiny fur on the pig's head, and the forehead was in the middle. Suddenly, a strange red light flashed past the place, and immediately afterwards, the spiritual grass on the ground disappeared out of thin air.
Xiao Hei raised his head, shook his head, grinned and grinned again. He looked very satisfied, and then bit the half of the spiritual grass stem on the ground again, regaining his laziness and even took a bit of it. With an inexplicable cynical look, he walked forward.
Well, a little black pig with an unruly demeanor...
But this time after it walked forward for a while, its footsteps suddenly stopped, and for the first time in its leisurely and exhausted manner, it showed a little vigilance for the first time. It stopped and looked forward, only to see the forest in front of it. Suddenly, there were a few low and low roars. After a while, a little bright light flashed. It was the refraction and reflection of the forest light falling on a sharp fang.
Behind the dense bushes of thorns and weeds, suddenly separated to the two sides, and then under the watchful eyes of the little black pig, an extremely strong gray wild boar monster walked out, the color of the whole body is gray, and the sharp fangs are like long swords. He was more than twice the size of Xiao Hei, and the strong Kong Wu was far better than him. At this moment, he was looking at the weak little black pig with a grinning and fierce look.
But the movement in the wild grass has not stopped. With the sound of footsteps, four similar pig monsters have walked out from behind this wild boar monster. They seem to be slightly shorter than the previous one. But he was still much taller than Xiao Hei.
If Shen Shi is here, he will quickly recognize it. This is a pig-like monster named "Gray Pig". It is a distant relative of the stone-skin pig in the monster world. There are many in the Gaoling Mountains. A low-level but powerful and fierce monster.
Five dusty pigs gathered around maliciously, surrounded the small black masses that seemed to be very weak, and surrounded them. The huge dusty pig in the front roared fiercely at Xiao Hei, and then viciously directed towards Xiao Hei. Hei rushed over.
With a scream, the birds near the forest suddenly startled.
※※※
"This is your wishful bag, put it away first." In the Jinhong Mountain Shenshi Cave Mansion, Zhong Qinglu looked at the bewildered Shenshi, sighed softly in her heart, and then changed the topic.
Shen Shi sat blankly for a moment, raised his head with a bitter smile, looked at Zhong Qinglu's Ruyi Bag, and took it, but his fingers touched the soft body of the Ruyi Bag, but his heart was bitter.
Zhong Qinglu said from the side: "This wishful bag was left by Senior Brother Du. When he sent you back that day, Senior Brother Du was upright, and took out your Yunfu from this wishful bag to open the cave in front of several of us. Other things I didn't look at it, and I also told us that we shouldn't mess around, so you can rest assured that the things inside are always intact."
Shen Shi nodded his head, his mind was still a little uncertain, and he always passed by the figure of Xiao Hei on weekdays, but after all he knew that it would be useless to think so much, so he might as well heal his injuries as soon as possible, and then try his best to find something Hope, just this little hope, even he himself knows that it is too vague. After all, how big the Gaoling Mountains are, and where are they going to find a little black pig, not to mention the collapse that day was so violent, Xiao Hei Under that Zhenhunyuan, whether it can escape is also a question.
It's just that no matter what he thinks, he still can't accept the possibility that Xiao Hei might die. Maybe... After returning from the demon world, only Xiao Hei is the only one to follow him, but the old white monkey and the stone pig have already Yin and Yang are always separated.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the inexplicable pain in his heart, and randomly poked the spiritual sense into the wishful bag. After the spiritual sense was swept away, he was suddenly startled. The bag was indeed as Zhong Qinglu said just now. , A lot of all the objects before him.
But the problem is that there are indeed a lot of original things, but at the moment, there are two more things in the Wishful Bag.
The blade of a remnant sword, a small piece of black stone crystal, looked very ordinary and ordinary, without any spiritual power fluctuations, just like useless debris on the side of the road, not at all noticeable.
But Shen Shi made a huge wave in his heart in an instant. Of course he knew the origins of these two things, but the question was, how did they get into his wishful bag?
He reminisced blankly, vaguely remembering that the fragment of the Ancient Slaughter Immortal Sword with the black crystal dropped directly into his belly under the Soul Suppressing Abyss that day, which is why, that drop of the dragon’s true blood Then he entered his Dantian Qi Sea, and then he couldn't remember clearly.
Perhaps, when I opened my eyes again and saw the ghosts all around me rushing in, did I put it into my wishful bag in a panic?
Is this the instinctive reaction of a poor person who is greedy for money... Shen Shi smiled bitterly and shook his head.
