"Is it a poisonous insect? A poison? Or a poisonous snake?"
Zhou Yan made a guess in his mind.
However, at this moment, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
In his Dantian, the true energy that was originally as calm as water actually became restless, as if he had encountered some terrifying existence.
"What's going on?"
Zhou Yan said in surprise, with a puzzled look on his face.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, Zhou Yan felt a huge force crushing towards his chest. That force left him no room to resist.
"Bang!"
Zhou Yan's chest was hit by this force, and his body flew out and landed hundreds of meters away.
"Pfft!"
Zhou Yan spat out a large mouthful of blood and his face became even more ugly.
"What the hell is this power?"
Zhou Yan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, feeling extremely shocked.
He swore that he had never felt this power so terrifying.
"Is it because of that female doll?" Zhou Yan thought to himself.
"No, we have to get out of here!"
Thinking of this, Zhou Yan quickly stood up and prepared to leave.
However, just as Zhou Yan stood up, the sharp pain in his body instantly spread throughout his body, causing him to almost fall to the ground.
"Damn it!"
Zhou Yan glanced around and found that this was already the other side of the valley.
His eyes lit up, he looked into the grass not far away, and quickly flew away.
He had just taken two steps when a young man in black robe suddenly appeared in front of him.
Zhou Yan's expression suddenly changed, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at this young man.
"You, who are you?"
The young man in black robe smiled slightly: "Zhou Yan, I'm glad to see you, but don't worry, I don't have any ill intentions towards you. As long as you are obedient, I will not hurt you. Otherwise, I will have to
I can't stand it any longer."
"Hmph, do you think I will believe you? Let me tell you, I am third on the Heavenly Ranking. If you want to control me, it is not that simple. If you are sensible, please leave as soon as possible. Don't delay my cultivation!"
Zhou Yan snorted coldly, his face full of pride.
"Third on the Heavenly Ranking?" The young man in black robe laughed disdainfully: "Do you think you are third on the Heavenly Ranking? In fact, you are only ranked at the bottom. If you were not my enemy, I would
Too lazy to pay attention to you.
Your strength is too weak and you can't compare with me at all. Now, you better follow me obediently and don't force me to do anything!"
"Huh, I won't be fooled!" Zhou Yan's attitude was still firm.
"Okay, very good." The young man in black robe sneered: "Since you don't know the truth, I have to take action!"
After the young man in black robe finished speaking, his figure suddenly disappeared.
The next moment, he appeared strangely behind Zhou Yan, his fingers turned into claws, and he grabbed Zhou Yan's neck.
The palms of this young man in black robes were as black as ink, exuding bursts of cold light.
"not good!"
Zhou Yan's heart suddenly trembled, and he quickly mobilized the power in his body to stop it.
However, the young man in black robe easily grabbed his shoulders, and then used force to force Zhou Yan to the ground.
"Boom!"
Zhou Yan's entire back sank into the ground, with mud flying and dust filling the air.
"You..." Zhou Yan's face turned red, and he was extremely angry.
"Boy, I advise you to cooperate, otherwise, you will die miserably!" The young man in black robe warned in a cold tone.
Zhou Yan took a deep breath and tried to calm down.
"Humph, I can promise you, but you have to help me kill these damn vines, otherwise, I would rather die than give in!" Zhou Yan's eyes rolled around, and he suddenly thought of something.
As soon as he lit up, he said quickly.
"You're right, I do need the essence of your vines, so I won't kill you, I just want to knock you out!"
The young man in black robe smiled slightly and said.
"You'd better not try any tricks!"
Zhou Yan shouted coldly and quickly activated the true energy in his body to resist the severe pain.
The young man in black robe didn't talk nonsense, his figure flashed rapidly, and he kept attacking Zhou Yan, trying to subdue Zhou Yan.
"Damn it, you can't even hope to succeed!"
Zhou Yan gritted his teeth and tried his best to resist the attack of those vines.
He felt the real energy flowing out of his body rapidly, and a pale look appeared on his face, obviously he was seriously injured.
"boom!"
The young man in black robe finally captured Zhou Yan.
"Zhou Yan, please be obedient now." The young man in black robe snorted coldly, and with a wave of his hand, he removed Zhou Yan's arms.
"ah--"
Zhou Yan was trembling with pain and couldn't help but scream.
"I won't kill you, but you have to pay the price. Just stay in this cave for a few days. When I collect enough of the essence of this vine, I will bring you back to the family!"
The young man in black robe looked at Zhou Yan and said coldly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the figure of the young man in black robe disappeared in front of Zhou Yan.
"Who is this guy?"
Zhou Yan looked at the empty area in front of him, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
He always felt that this young man in black robe didn't seem to want to kill him, or he didn't dare to kill him.
"Forget it, the soldiers will come to block it, and the water will come and the earth will cover it!"
Zhou Yan shook his head and sighed, then sat down cross-legged and began to practice.
Although Zhou Yan knew very well that this young man in black robes would not kill him, he still could not take it lightly and had to maintain sufficient vigilance.
...
Overnight, Zhou Yan was imprisoned in this valley and could not leave.
The next day, Zhou Yan finally couldn't stand it anymore and fell asleep. When he woke up, it was already late.
"How long have I been unconscious?"
Zhou Yan quickly opened his eyes and found that he was lying in the cave.
"Huh? There's nothing wrong with my body anymore?" Zhou Yan was surprised to find that the injuries on his body had healed, and he couldn't help but show doubts.
Who is this young man in black robe, and why doesn't he kill himself?
Could it be that he wants to use himself to improve his strength?
When Zhou Yan thought of this, he became more and more anxious.
"What should I do? Run away, or stay here and see who this young man in black robe is?" Zhou Yan frowned and thought.
His desire to escape was extremely strong. After all, this place was too evil. If he stayed here any longer, his life would definitely be in danger.
However, thinking that he had been sealed and unable to use martial arts, it became even more impossible to escape.
"It seems that all I can do is wait."
"Anyway, it was the young man in black robe who saved me this time. As long as I stay here honestly, nothing will happen to me, right?"
Thinking of this, Zhou Yan couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and closed his eyes.
