Jun Xiaomo's intuition rarely goes wrong, so she decided to follow her intuition this time and secretly increased her vigilance.
Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the unexpected. If Qin Lingyu and Ke Xinwen really want to take advantage of this short day and a half to kill her and Senior Brother Ye, she must take some precautions in advance to ensure that they will not succeed so easily.
Jun Xiaomo thought that her bad intuition came from Qin Lingyu and Ke Xinwen. However, at noon the next day, when the group of them hurried forward, Jun Xiaomo's bad premonition suddenly surged. pole.
"Brother Ye, wait a minute, this place seems unusual!" Jun Xiaomo grabbed Ye Xiuwen's hand and stopped him from moving forward.
Ye Xiuwen was stunned, followed Jun Xiaomo's opinion, stopped, and slowly released his consciousness.
In fact, he also used his spiritual consciousness to detect the movements around him along the way, and found nothing strange. Now after Jun Xiaomo said this, he decided to expand the scope of his spiritual consciousness.
After a while, Ye Xiuwen withdrew his consciousness, shook his head at Jun Xiaomo and said, "I don't seem to notice anything strange."
Jun Xiaomo bit his lower lip, with a somewhat tangled look between his brows.
"But I always have a bad premonition... and I can't tell where this premonition comes from."
Ye Xiuwen frowned slightly and decided to check the surroundings more carefully, not missing anything suspicious.
Immediately, he finally noticed something unusual - it was so quiet here, as quiet as death.
In fact, in the deep areas of the grove, spiritual beasts appear from time to time, so it is not surprising to pass through these excessively quiet areas. Whenever this happens, they will release their spiritual consciousness and try to avoid encountering powerful spiritual beasts. superior.
After all, the combat effectiveness of their group is limited. It is not a good thing to face those spiritual beasts frequently. It is likely to result in excessive overdraft of spiritual power.
However, that's in the deeper areas of the grove. Now they were less than a day's journey from the edge of this small forest. Logically speaking, it was unlikely that they would encounter such a situation of silence.
"There are no sounds of insects or birds here. It doesn't seem to be consistent with common sense. Didn't Qin Lingyu say that we are about to leave this small forest?" Jun Xiaomo touched his chin and muttered to himself, "According to common sense. It seems that because there are fewer natural enemies at the edge of the grove, there should be more small animals, and now not even a small flying insect can be seen."
Ye Xiuwen stretched out his hand, took Jun Xiaomo's right hand, and ordered: "Follow me closely, be careful."
Feeling the warmth coming from the palm and back of his right hand, Jun Xiaomo couldn't help but curl his lips, and then moved close to Ye Xiuwen's arm.
Ye Xiuwen just paused and left behind Jun Xiaomo.
Fragments of sunlight shone on them through the gaps in the leaves, spreading a layer of warm tones and blurring the backs of the two people walking together, as if they could go on like this forever...
Qin Lingyu and the others walked in front as a group, and also released their spiritual consciousness to detect the movements around them.
However, they had not encountered any dangerous situation for several days, and as they were getting closer and closer to the next town, this group of people were a little slack. Even if they released their spiritual consciousness, they did not pay much attention to it. above.
"Hey, after leaving this damn grove and arriving at the next town, I must find a place to eat and drink, and then have a good sleep." One of the Xuyang Sect disciples He waved his fist and said.
After eating dry food for more than ten days, coupled with the fact that Mr. Jun Xiaomo was leisurely making all kinds of delicious things, their taste buds and appetites were challenged, and their mouths almost became pale.
This disciple of the Xuyang Sect felt that he hadn't had a full meal for a long time since "Yao Mo" made that Lao Shizi barbecue.
There was no way, compared with the mouth-watering aroma on the tip of my nose, the dry food in his hand simply didn't look like it was for human consumption! Therefore, he ate less and less. Even though his stomach was growling with hunger, he still found the dry food difficult to chew.
Another disciple nodded with deep sympathy, turned around, glanced at Jun Xiaomo and Ye Xiuwen, who were leisurely hanging behind them, then turned back and said with a slight complaint: "I still feel that it's not a good idea." Going up to that Yao Mo was simply a wrong choice. Although the original purpose was to wait until our training was over and let him follow us back to the sect to confront him, but now it is obvious that we are the ones being tortured."
"No! What else, I don't think that Yao Mo has much ability. He may only know one or two formations to calculate others. You see, these days, whenever he encounters danger, he will go to Senior Brother Ye Hiding behind him, he has no intention of helping at all, and he is just dragging his feet. If he is really that powerful, why not help him? He also said that he saved Senior Brother Ye twice. He is really lying for free!"
Indeed, Jun Xiaomo rarely takes the initiative recently, usually letting Ye Xiuwen protect him directly—
Firstly, because she has not yet reached a higher level, taking action rashly may be of no help. Moreover, Ye Xiuwen, who is at the twelfth level of Qi cultivation at the peak of sword cultivation, can handle those small spiritual beasts. The second reason is that there are really not many talismans in her storage ring. If she uses one less talisman, she naturally has to use it sparingly, lest she can't even take out half of the talismans when she encounters a real emergency.
What's more, she didn't delay her training. She would find time to practice sword practice and fight with Ye Xiuwen every day, and then use the remaining energy to make more talismans.
During this regular training, Jun Xiaomo noticed that he had faint signs of breaking through to the first level of Qi training.
Of course, there is absolutely no need for her to explain this kind of thing to this group of people from the Xuyang Sect. Therefore, in the eyes of others, "Yao Mo" is a coward who only hides behind others when in danger!
"What is most difficult for me to understand is that Senior Brother Ye would actually allow this guy to hide behind him. He obviously doesn't care about the protection of Yi Hong and Di Le, ha!" the disciple said, patting him sympathetically. He patted Yi Hong on the shoulder.
Yi Hong and Di Le were both members of the team led by Ye Xiuwen, but they were obviously more willing to follow Qin Lingyu and Ke Xinwen. They followed Qin Lingyu and Ke Xinwen in every action and obeyed Qin Lingyu's orders. On the contrary, as their team leader, Ye Xiuwen, who had the responsibility to protect them, was alienated by them without leaving a trace.
Yi Hong smiled at his companions, shook his head helplessly and said: "What can I do? When I decided to travel, I also wanted to choose Senior Brother Ke and Senior Brother Qin as my captain, but it's a pity that my The strength is not as good as yours, and since Senior Brother Ke and Senior Brother Qin are already full, I have no choice but to choose Senior Brother Ye. I didn’t expect that Senior Brother Ye would treat an outsider better than he treats us from the same sect, alas."
Di Le walked in front of them. When he heard Yi Hong's words, he turned around and said coldly: "I don't care if he doesn't want to protect us. Let him have a blind date with that boy named Yao Mo...ah!" Before Di Le finished speaking, a thick rattan suddenly appeared in everyone's field of vision, and instantly rolled Di Le up high.
Not only that, more and more vines were wrapped around his body.
Di Le screamed in fear. He wanted to break free from the restraints of these rattan canes and return to the ground, but he did not expect that the more he struggled, the tighter the restraints of these rattan rattan bars would become. In the end, it became difficult to even breathe, and the air in his lungs was continuously compressed.
What frightened him even more was that there seemed to be something hidden in these rattans, which pricked his skin several times, and his strength began to drain away crazily.
His eyeballs were tied so that they protruded, and with his mouth half-opened, he looked at his companion not far away, and with a trembling voice, he said intermittently: "Save... me... hurry... save... me..."
The others were confused by this sudden change. For a moment, no one rushed forward to save Di Le, including the two senior brothers who Di Le admired so much, Qin Lingyu and Ke Xinwen.
Qin Lingyu was not frightened, but he would not rush to rescue Di Le - he would never lend a helping hand before he figured out what these rattans were.
In Qin Lingyu's eyes, his life is more important than anyone else's.
"Pfft-" Di Le suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. After the blood touched the surface of the rattan, it quickly disappeared, and the rattan became even more crazy.
"Quickly retreat!" Qin Lingyu's eyes flashed, and he retreated first. It took the others a moment to react, and they all followed Qin Lingyu and ran away, throwing various spells behind them as they ran. No way, those rattan sticks followed him, and their crazy dancing made everyone laugh. They all started to feel cold from the bottom of their hearts.
What the hell is this!
In Di Le's eyes, the quick departure of his trusted companions was obviously tantamount to abandoning him, which made him furious for a moment and spurted out another mouthful of blood.
The rattan became more and more crazy, and there was a faint red light.
When the cane attacked Di Le, Ye Xiuwen quickly grabbed Jun Xiaomo and backed away. Because they were walking at the back, the cane couldn't touch them for a while. .
In fact, the moment he saw the rattan, Jun Xiaomo recognized the plant and understood where his uneasiness came from.
Devil's vine feeds on all living creatures around it. The higher the level of devil's vine, the greater the range it can reach.
It's no wonder that this area is so dead. I'm afraid those spiritual beasts and animals were stirred into the stomach by the devil's vine and became nutrients for the devil's vine!
Jun Xiaomo curled his lips and smiled. Although this kind of thing is ferocious, it is not difficult to deal with it, as long as you find the trick.
The canes were getting closer and closer. Seeing that Qin Lingyu and the others could not get rid of the entanglement of those canes, they actually ran straight towards Jun Xiaomo and Ye Xiuwen, and the canes behind them naturally followed them, towards Jun Xiao Mo and Ye Xiuwen rushed over!
Jun Xiaomo's eyes turned cold, and then he curled his lips and sneered.
She suddenly took out two talismans from the storage ring and patted them on her and Ye Xiuwen's bodies respectively.
