"Alas, who says it's not the case? I don't know what General Qin thought. He actually allowed these foreign monks to participate. If nothing else, it was just to compete for the astonishingly valuable evil beads. This trial in the Southern Barbarian Nether Realm is definitely not the case. It’ll be peaceful.”
"That's true, but I heard people say that most people don't seem to come just for the evil beads. They seem to be looking for some kind of sword fairy cave in the southern barbarian underworld. I don't know if it's true or not."
"Sword Immortal's Cave? Come on, don't be ridiculous. The spiritual energy of the Southern Barbarian Underworld is exhausted and the evil spirit is soaring. Which Sword Immortal would build a cave there if he is bored?"
Along the way, all kinds of discussions filled the streets and alleys, and there was a strange atmosphere of an impending storm.
"The Nanman Underworld will appear tomorrow, and the entrance will only be open for three hours, so we have to rush there overnight."
Walking to the Nanman Mountains, Du Qingxi took a jade slip map, looked at it briefly, and said seriously, "Everyone, be careful. Monsters and beasts are rampant in the Nanman Mountains at night. It is extremely dangerous. Don't take it lightly."
"Don't worry, Qingxi. With the strength of the three of us, even if we meet the big demon of Zifu, we are enough to kill him." Duanmuze smiled slightly, his tone casual and normal, as if he was saying something simple.
Kill the big demon of Zi Mansion
Chen Xi felt a shiver in his heart. If this guy dared to say such big words, his strength must have advanced to the Purple Mansion realm, and Du Qingxi and that Song Lin must not be much different.
However, aren’t the Zifu monks unable to enter the Southern Barbarian Underworld? Maybe they have another way to enter... This question involves a certain degree of privacy, and Chen Xi is not familiar with the three of them, so he can't ask more questions, so he can only keep it secretly in his heart.
The night is shrouded, and there are a few stars.
Looking down from the sky, countless crowds of people are rushing towards the Nanman Mountains like lines of ants. A rough estimate is that there are no less than tens of thousands of people.
"Hey, am I not dazzled? Duanmuze, who is known as the genius of the younger generation in Longyuan City, is here too?"
"You can't go wrong. That person is definitely Duanmuze. It is said that he already has a four-star cultivation level in the Zifu and may become the next successor of the Duanmu clan."
"Wow, it turns out he is Duan Muze, whom I have always dreamed of. He is indeed as handsome as the rumors say. He is so handsome!"
Just as Chen Xi and the others were preparing to enter the mountain, someone next to them recognized Duanmuze, which instantly aroused a burst of exclamation and praise.
A reserved smile appeared on Duanmuze's handsome face. He had already seen these scenes in Longyuan City, so he didn't think anything of it. He smiled at Du Qingxi beside him and said, "I didn't expect to be recognized so quickly. These people are really It’s boring enough.”
"Since we're bored, let's leave quickly." Du Qingxi said, her expression always as cold as snow, as if nothing around her could interest her.
Duanmuze was startled, shook his head and smiled, but he was secretly angry in his heart. It was too difficult to win over this girl from the Du family. Did he have to force himself to do it
He has been pursuing Du Qingxi, but Du Qingxi's temperament is too cold. He has tried many methods and ultimately failed.
For a boy from a noble family like him, there are plenty of beautiful women to grab, but in Duanmuze's eyes, those women are all vulgar, and there are only a few people in the entire Longyuan City who can match him. That's all, Du Qingxi, who was born in the Du family, is undoubtedly one of them.
Du Qingxi is extremely beautiful and extremely intelligent. What is especially important is that she is the only daughter of the head of the Du family. If he marries her, he will not only get a beautiful woman but also gain the support of the Du family. For Duan Muze, This is the result he wants most.
Because being the son-in-law of the Du family means that he has the support of the entire Du family. With this kind of support, Duanmuze is 100% confident that he can ascend to the position of head of the Duanmu family.
Therefore, although Duanmuze was hit by Du Qingxi's cold attitude at this time, Duanmuze would never give up his pursuit of Du Qingxi.
However, he still felt a little unhappy, especially with Chen Xi standing next to him and watching.
This kid is just afraid of laughing at himself for being so sentimental, right
Duanmuze glanced at Chen Xi, only to see that this guy was looking at his nose and heart, looking like he was wandering around. He didn't give him a chance to find trouble at all. For a moment, his teeth itched with hatred, and he secretly thought in his heart that he was waiting for him to enter the forest. I'll take this opportunity to deal with you, this cheap servant!
The night was getting thicker and thicker, covering the entire Nanman Mountains like black ink. From a distance, there were waves of terrifying beast roars, adding a chilling and chilling atmosphere.
Facing this scene, even Song Lin, who had been drowsy all the way, couldn't help but open his eyes, his eyes bright and bright.
"Let me remind you, if you dare to hold us back, no matter what Qingxi thinks, I will definitely fix you first."
There was a sound transmission in his ears, and Chen Xi looked up, only to see Duan Muze looking at him with a smile on his face, as if the words just now did not come from his mouth at all.
Faced with this aggressive disdain and threat, Chen Xi chose to ignore it.
Holding back
At that time, I don’t know who is holding back whom.
Thinking of the scenes of fighting those insidious and ferocious monsters every night in the past three months, Chen Xi felt pity for Duan Muze. What about the monks of the Zi Mansion? Those monsters are not vegetarians, they are all insidious and full of tricks... After entering the mountain, in order to show his gentlemanly demeanor, the leader was Duanmuze, wearing white clothes and walking forward with a sword. Matched by his handsome and elegant His smile can indeed make most women fall in love with him.
Du Qingxi did not object, Song Lin followed sleepily at the end of the team, and Chen Xi could not steal the limelight from this slutty young man.
So along the way, Duanmuze regarded himself as the leader of the team. Chen Xi suggested that he change the route several times, but he flatly refused. According to his words, "I, a sword cultivator, have to take the path even if there is no way." The sword in your hand cuts a path, and taking detours is not the style of a swordsman..."
Chen Xi said no more. If a person wants to be unlucky, no one can stop him.
Then, in a place with lush flowers and trees in the forest, a swarm of ice-tailed poisonous bees swarmed in as Chen Xi expected.
As a fourth-star swordsman in the Purple Mansion, Duanmuze was not afraid of these gadgets. He immediately drew his sword and splashed with sword light. The sharp sword energy was shot out like a crossbow arrow. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of ice tail poisons were fired. The bee died instantly.
"It turned out to be a swarm of little bees. What a disappointing opponent."
Duanmuze sighed with a reserved expression. Just as he was about to put away his sword, his face suddenly stiffened and a look of astonishment appeared in his eyes.
Red and swollen pimples suddenly appeared on the skin of his face and hands, and his handsome face became as miserable as a roasted pig's head.
"ah!"
Mr. Duanmu let out a shrill scream, and the unbearable itching on his face and back of his hands made him no longer care about his manners, and he scratched his face fiercely with both hands.
"What's going on?" Du Qingxi's heart trembled, and she was filled with doubts when she saw Duanmuze's ugly tickling posture.
"Um, brother Duanmu, are you doing monkey boxing?" Song Lin opened his sleepy eyes and muttered vaguely: "I remember that you hated monkey boxing the most, saying that the posture is too ugly and affects the aesthetics and demeanor."
"Although he killed the Ice-tailed Venomous Bee, his cheeks and hands were stung by the Ice-tailed Venomous Bee's tail sting, so he was itching unbearably." Chen Xi said with a frown, feeling secretly happy in his heart.
These ice-tailed poisonous wasps are about the size of a thumb, and are completely black. Their tail stingers are as thin as cow hairs and crystal clear. The bee stings pierce into human skin, just like ice melting into water. They are hard to prevent. The venom will soak into the blood in an instant and cause the skin to swell. Big red and swollen bumps with unbearable itching.
"Since you know, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Du Qingxi looked over coldly, with a hint of blame in his tone.
"I tried to persuade him, but he said that as a sword cultivator, he must use the sword in his hand..."
Before Chen Xi could finish speaking, Duanmuze, who was scratching his head and ears in the distance, suddenly roared: "Shut up, you kid!"
"Let's go, I'm fine." Duanmuze gasped for a while, resisted the itching on his body, stood up, and walked forward tremblingly.
"Well, Brother Duanmu is the most elegant person. In terms of good manners in Longyuan City, Brother Duanmu is definitely the number one. Now that things are happening like this, he must feel uncomfortable, right?"
Song Lin sighed lazily, glanced at Chen Xi intentionally or unintentionally, then shrugged and fell into a sleepy state again.
"Oh, if I had known that he was so ticklish, I should have tried to persuade him more, and so many things wouldn't have happened." Chen Xi said with an innocent face.
When these words fell into Duanmuze's ears, the evil fire in his heart skyrocketed. Especially when he thought of the ugliness he had just shown in Du Qingxi's eyes, he was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He roared in his heart: "Damn it, this guy must have done it on purpose. If he didn't remind him properly, he just made sarcastic remarks at the right time. You wait." Come on, I must make you look good!
"Mr. Duanmu, there are some monsters ahead that are far from powerful. Do you want to change the path?" Chen Xi asked with concern as if his conscience had discovered it.
Duanmuze stiffened, and then replied fiercely: "Thank you, no need!"
As he spoke, as if to vent his anger, Duanmuze quickened his pace, waving the long sword in his hand, and the vines and weeds in front of him instantly turned into fly ash.
"You seem to be familiar with this place?" Du Qingxi asked with a frown.
Chen Xi nodded and said, "I have been here for a while before."
"Then why don't you lead the way?" Du Qingxi pressed hard.
Chen Xi looked at Duanmuze in the distance. He didn't say much, but his meaning was clearly revealed.
"Next, you lead the way." Du Qingxi said in an unquestionable tone.
"Okay!" Chen Xi nodded.
Ah... At this moment, Duanmuze's shrill scream sounded again in the distance, with endless anger and fear in his voice, as if he had encountered something terrible.
