This guy must have encountered a group of bubble rats.
Hearing Duanmuze's screams, Chen Xi was not surprised at all, because there was a soft swamp a hundred feet in front, and there were a group of rat monsters the size of fists living under the ground.
The bubble rat walks underground, coming and going like the wind, its body is like a blown bubble, and its body is full of foul-smelling green venom. Although it is not very toxic, when it is sprayed on people, the smell will definitely make people feel... Crazy.
What's especially important is that Bubble Mouse has a very bad temper. When encountering strange enemies, these disgusting and ugly little things will collectively choose to self-destruct. The miserable green liquid that explodes from their belly is like a heavy rain. The sky is overwhelming and there is no way to hide.
"this… "
When she saw Duanmuze, Du Qingxi couldn't believe her eyes. He looked like he had been thrown into a dye vat and soaked. His hair, skin, and clothes as white as snow... were all covered with a pale green liquid. It looks like an ugly toad demon.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would have been impossible to imagine that the person in front of you was the handsome Duan Muze in flowing white clothes.
A gust of wind blew, and a disgusting stench instantly filled every corner of the space.
"It's so disgusting." Song Lin was so drowsy by the stench in the air that he covered his nose and backed away.
"Is he not in danger?" Du Qingxi asked with a frown.
Chen Xi shook his head: "It's okay, it just smells a little bit."
Ugh... Du Qingxi was so smoked that he almost vomited. He immediately left here without hesitation and said, "Duanmu, please change your clothes quickly and leave here."
"You... how could you do this!"
Duanmuze opened his eyes wide and looked at Du Qingxi and Song Lin who were far away in despair. There was a deep sadness in his voice, like a resentful woman who had been abandoned.
"Mr. Duanmu, I warned you just now, but you didn't listen... Sigh, you'd better change your clothes quickly, it really stinks." Chen Xi shook his head and turned to leave.
Duanmuze was stunned for a moment, as if struck by lightning, and let out a low roar of extreme grief and anger.
Chen Xi, you definitely did it on purpose, on purpose!
I must kill you!
Duanmuze was so angry that he gasped for air, but as soon as he smelled the stench on his body, he almost fainted, and there was another burst of rage in his heart, completely hating Chen Xi to his bones.
When Duan Muze appeared again, he had returned to his flowing white clothes, but his face was as gloomy as water, and he stared at Chen Xi as if he wanted to kill someone.
"It seems that I have offended this guy badly, but as long as Du Qingxi is here, he will not dare to attack me secretly."
Chen Xi shook his head, ignored Duanmuze's gaze, turned around and walked forward.
Along the way, Duanmuze was taciturn, and under Chen Xi's leadership, there were no more accidents.
Du Qingxi followed, and the surprise in his heart became more and more intense. He would encounter some powerful monsters more than once along the way, but Chen Xi seemed to have foresight and led the team to avoid them carefully. Every time No near misses.
She had to admit that she had indeed underestimated Chen Xi, because even she occasionally found it difficult to detect those monster beasts that were very good at hiding.
In Duanmuze's heart, Chen Xi's thorough understanding of the surrounding environment made him increasingly believe that everything before was caused by Chen Xi deliberately making him look embarrassed. For a while, his hatred for Chen Xi reached a point where it was difficult to level the chasm. , if it were not for Du Qingxi, he would definitely kill Chen Xi immediately.
Around dawn, Chen Xi and others finally passed through the forest that looked like a natural barrier, entered the Nanman Forbidden Land, and appeared in front of a huge lake.
This vast and boundless lake is called Lingkong Lake. Chen Xi naturally recognized it. The first Xiantian Realm monster he killed with his own hands was the two-headed purple rhinoceros that entrenched itself in the center of the lake and had practiced cultivation for more than two thousand years. .
At this moment, tens of thousands of monks have gathered beside Lingkong Lake. As far as the eye can see, there are dense crowds of people, and noisy conversations can be heard one after another, making it extremely lively.
"The entrance to the Southern Barbarian Underworld is not above Lingkong Lake, right?" Chen Xi looked at the crowd in the distance and felt a little surprised.
"You don't know?" Du Qingxi seemed more surprised than Chen Xi.
Chen Xi shook his head: "I have never participated in the Southern Barbarian Underworld Trial, and I have never paid attention to this news."
"Ha, as a child of Songyan City, you haven't even participated in the Southern Barbarian Underworld Trial. You are really bad at it." Duan Muze interjected from the side, with strong disdain in his tone.
Chen Xi glanced at this guy and said calmly: "Although I have never entered the Southern Barbarian Underworld, I know how to get around the Southern Barbarian Mountain Forest."
Knowing how to get through the Nanman Mountain Forest... Duanmuze was startled, thinking of the ice-tailed poisonous wasps and bubble rats he encountered before, as if someone had opened the scars in his heart, his face instantly became extremely gloomy, and he said word by word: " I hope your words are as good as your cultivation, and you never die in the Southern Barbarian Underworld."
This sentence was tantamount to completely breaking up with Chen Xi.
Du Qingxi frowned and glanced at the two of them, and said coldly: "That's enough! If you still do this after entering the Southern Barbarian Underworld, please leave now!"
Duanmuze curled his lips and said nothing, obviously because he was afraid that Du Qingxi would really drive him away.
Chen Xi was eager to leave, but after seeing Du Qingxi's extremely cold expression and remembering the three-year contract he signed with her, he still couldn't say so.
The group of people quickened their pace, and dozens of minutes later, they appeared in the open space beside Lingkong Lake.
After getting closer, Chen Xi discovered that most of these monks were gathered together in small groups, holding weapons in their arms and looking alert. Obviously, in this dangerous southern barbarian forbidden land, although they are all competitors, in order to prevent those powerful monsters from rushing out, everyone gathered together in unison.
After all, the southern barbarian underworld has not appeared yet, so it is not the time to fight for the evil beads.
The appearance of Chen Xi and his group attracted the attention of most people around them. The reason is very simple. Duanmu Ze, who is fluttering in white clothes, looks like a flag to where he stands. As long as the monks who have been in Longyuan City, how can they not recognize that this young man with excellent demeanor is the younger generation from the Duanmu family? The leading figure Duan Muze
"It turns out to be Mr. Duanmu!"
"Ah, Mr. Duanmu is here too!"
"Master Duanmu, I never expected to see you here!"
Along the way, there were endless greetings to Duanmu Ze, and the eyes that were slightly hostile to Chen Xi and his party shrank back. The Duanmu family is so famous that it can be considered a behemoth in the entire southern Xinjiang. Ordinary monks are not like this. The one who has the guts to provoke it.
At this time, Duanmuze had his usual smile on his face, his reserve showed enough pride, and with the dazzling halo above his head, the four of them successfully selected an excellent location.
Seeing this, Chen Xi couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Reputation alone could play such a big role. Those families with ancient heritage were indeed able to survive to this day, and they were indeed well-deserved.
After being admired by everyone around him, Duan Muze seemed to be in a much better mood. He glanced at Chen Xi who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, frowned and said: "Hey, you are so unqualified as a cook. You didn't notice that everyone was walking all night. Yet?"
Chen Xi ignored this guy and looked at Du Qingxi: "Do you need something to eat?"
Du Qingxi thought for a while and nodded. When she walked out of the forest, she wore a layer of black veil on her head that could isolate the power of the soul from prying eyes, covering her face so that no one could see her expression.
Chen Xi then stood up, took out some ingredients from the storage ring, lit up the spiritual fire, and started cooking.
This storage ring was given to him by Du Qingxi when he left Qingxi Restaurant. There is a hundred feet of space inside, and the food ingredients piled up are like piles of hills. If you save some food, it can be enough for several people to eat for two or three years. .
Being ignored by Chen Xi, Duan Muze didn't care at all. Being able to let Chen Xi cook in full view of everyone had achieved his goal.
He wanted everyone to know that Chen Xi was just a lowly cook who followed him, and was not a friend who could be considered as equals as he seemed on the surface.
Seeing Chen Xi cooking the food at this time, Duanmuze couldn't help but start to expect, this guy must be in a very uncomfortable mood right now, right
However, what disappointed Duanmuze was that although the people around him looked at him with surprise, confusion, confusion, and contempt from time to time, as the person involved, Chen Xi's expression had not changed from the beginning to the end.
Soon, a pot of Baizhen porridge made from hundreds of kinds of spiritual fruits mixed with grains and spiritual grains was ready. The alluring aroma of the porridge, with the smell of fresh fruit and wood, floated around.
Gulu... Gulu... There was a sound of stomach growling all around. Most of the monks here are around the innate realm, and they are not able to survive like the Zifu monks. They also brought dry food when they came here, but when they smelled this freshly cooked food The aroma of delicious porridge makes you salivate? My stomach won’t agree!
"Master Duanmu is indeed very comparable to others. He even brings a spiritual chef with him when he travels. This quality of life is really enviable."
"That's not true. Just by smelling the aroma of the porridge, I definitely know that that young man must be at least as good as Er Ye Ling's chef!"
Hearing this, Duanmuze felt more and more comfortable. He picked up a white tablecloth and covered his legs with a reserved expression, and then ordered: "Give me a bowl of porridge."
Chen Xi was drinking a bowl of porridge when he heard the words and replied vaguely: "No more."
It was indeed gone. He served a bowl to Du Qingxi, a bowl to himself, and a large bowl was served to Song Lin, who was like a starving ghost reincarnated. The bottom of the pot had been scraped clean.
Duanmuze lowered his head and looked at the tablecloth prepared on his lap, and then at the empty rice pot, his expression changing and wonderful.
"Well, this porridge is delicious. What's rare is that it has a unique taste, no less than that of my chief spiritual chef." Song Lin drank the porridge with a big mouthful, his face was intoxicated and satisfied, and he made a harsh squeaking sound from time to time.
"This kind of porridge must have been discovered by myself. The taste is sweet and soft, which is very different from ordinary ones. The spiritual energy is also condensed and not dispersed. It is pure and continuous. It is indeed good." Du Qingxi nodded and commented.
Seeing that the two of them had no intention of helping him at all, but instead commented on the taste of Baizhen porridge with gusto, Duanmuze's face became increasingly ugly.
"Hey! That's..."
At this moment, there was a commotion among the crowd, and all eyes were looking far away.
Du Qingxi looked up, then looked away, and said calmly: "It turns out to be that girl from the Su family. I knew she wouldn't miss this opportunity."
Su family
Chen Xi's heart was suddenly shocked, and he raised his head suddenly.
