Deng Ting woke up from her deep sleep. When she wiped her face, she found that half of her face was covered with cold water. She looked up and found that it had fallen from the gap in the cave ceiling.
Deng Ting looked away, suddenly startled, and quickly walked to the entrance of the cave.
The crashing sound reached my ears, and it felt like a deafening majesty.
A heavy rainstorm.
She leaned on the rock and looked down, and saw that the river not far away was already running, and the turbid water flooded the river banks on both sides. The knee-long weeds she saw last night were no longer there, but instead, there were scattered spores hanging on some trees.
Some unknown beast.
What surprised her was that in such a heavy rain, no wild animals came in to take shelter.
But soon, Deng Ting realized that she had thought wrong. It was not that no wild animals came in to take shelter from the rain, but that all those who came in were skinned by cramps and put on the grill.
Chen Qingyan lit the fire, picked up the wooden fork used to grill the fish last night and slowly turned it. At this time, a large piece of meat from an unrecognizable animal was stuck on the wooden fork.
Deng Ting sat next to the bonfire and stopped talking.
Chen Qingyan seemed to only wonder what she was worried about, and asked lightly: "Worrying is poisonous?"
Deng Ting nodded.
"Don't worry, this is edible. I ate it last night."
Deng Ting was stunned, why didn't she notice it last night?
After breakfast, Chen Qingyan continued to practice his internal strength, working very hard.
Deng Ting somewhat understood why this guy was so powerful at such a young age. It must be the result of talent and hard work.
It rained heavily all day and night.
Then it turns to moderate rain.
It rained another day.
During this period, there were dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and strong winds, but the rain became lighter and lighter.
Finally, on the fourth day after Chen Qingyan and Deng Ting hid in the cave, the sky cleared after the rain.
The scorching sun baked the earth, quickly drying away the moisture accumulated in the past few days.
The air in the forest was so oppressively hot that it felt like being in a steam oven.
In this kind of weather, groups of monsters—night demons—suddenly flew out of the green and black mountains deep in the forest.
It's so vast, there are hundreds of them.
Chen Qingyan felt inexplicably irritable, so he interrupted his practice, walked out of the cave, and climbed to the tallest tree. He happened to see this scene and was shocked by the overwhelming number of night demons.
Then he simply returned to the cave and told Deng Ting what had happened.
Deng Ting originally thought that he would take some action, or discuss a plan with her to deal with the night demon that might attack at any time, but she saw that after the guy finished speaking, he went back to his original position to sit cross-legged and meditate again, as if he had just informed him
What he saw was... a simple report, as simple as when two acquaintances passed each other and one of them casually said who won the game last night.
Deng Ting felt a sense of depression in her heart on the spot, and it took a long time to calm down.
She had no choice but to stand guard outside the cave and keep an eye on the Night Demon's movements.
Fortunately, the forest is large enough. Although the group of night demons is large in number, it is still difficult to search every corner of the forest.
Flying is indeed a great ability.
But the shortcomings are equally obvious.
That is, it is easy to be blocked by obstacles and unable to see the ground clearly.
Deng Ting was a little lucky. Fortunately, there had been a heavy rainstorm in the past few days, which washed away their smell. Otherwise, maybe these monsters could use the smell to find them who were hiding.
However, Deng Ting was more worried about the other nine pioneers.
She and Chen Qingyan were able to find a cave in time to take shelter from the rain, but others may not be so lucky. It has been pouring heavily these days, and maybe someone has died in advance. Now that the weather has improved, those monsters have begun to act. If they are not carefully hidden, , appearing in some open places, it is easy to be discovered.
Her fears soon came true.
Near dusk, when a group of night devils returned to their nest, they brought with them their prey, a pioneer who was unfortunately found.
When the night demon who captured the pioneers flew over the cave, Deng Ting couldn't help but take action. But before she was about to take action, she inadvertently glanced at the young man who was practicing quietly in the cave, and her reluctance subsided again.
Impulse comes with a price.
Blind action is the most stupid behavior.
To be able to become an official investigator of the Foreign Affairs Bureau, Deng Ting's professional quality cannot be said to be excellent, but she must be qualified, because when faced with abnormal events, acting rashly will only kill everyone. She is not the only one here. She must remain calm. Do not act privately and harm others.
After calming down, Deng Ting suddenly became silent.
The next day, the night demons came out again.
This time they came back empty-handed.
The third day, the fourth day...
The Night Stalker goes out again and again and comes back again and again.
The cave where Chen Qingyan and Deng Ting hid has never been visited by night demons.
They don't seem to have any intention of coming down, and they always search in the sky.
Therefore, as long as you hide it, you will most likely not be discovered by the Night Stalker.
Time passes day by day.
Chen Qingyan is still working hard to practice.
The Chixia true energy in the body gradually increased and became more solid.
If the first layer of Chixia Zhenqi is a cloud-like gas that disperses as soon as you grab it and separates as soon as you touch it, then the second layer is already an outline of Chixia, which requires a little force to disperse. .And the third layer is a ball of red slurry that dripped on the lotus leaves after the rain. It looks like a liquid wrapped in smoke.
Although they are both infuriating, their quality is completely different.
Now, Chen Qingyan is only one step away from the third floor.
The Chixia zhenqi in his body was already somewhere between Chixia and red ooze, just a little bit different.
The more critical the moment, the calmer Chen Qingyan is.
This is not his own personality, but the composure he has unconsciously developed after the memories of previous lives were merged.
However, the cultivation of internal strength will not be accelerated by changes in personality.
Talent, qualifications, and basic foundation are the key to whether you can get started with Chixia Gong.
Most of the disciples of the Scarlet Lian Sect who were able to get started in one month were those who had similar internal strength foundation. Chen Qingyan had no foundation, perhaps no talent, and he was still a person from another world. How could he be able to do this now after his return? , it is not easy to practice Chixia Gong to the point where you are about to get started.
Several days passed, and the frequency of night demons' attacks became more and more frequent.
After finding nothing one after another, they finally gave up their advantage in the sky and began to land, searching like a carpet.
They seemed to know that the humans had not left the Mono Mountain range.
At this time, it turns out that seventeen days have passed since the newcomer's mission lasted for a month. He only needs to hide for another thirteen days to return safely.
"ah!!!"
A shrill scream sounded in the woods not far from the cave.
Deng Ting suddenly stood up and ran outside the cave to check.
But as soon as she came out of the cave, strong winds rushed over her head, left and right sides. She felt that her whole body was shrouded in shadows, and a wave of fire rolled around her body. As soon as the silver thin sword appeared, it was held by a sharp claw covered with scales, and then Give it a hard shake.
A 'wow' sound.
Deng Ting spurted blood from her mouth, as if she had been hit by a high-speed truck, and lost the power to resist. If you like it, please save it: (www.sodu777.net) Fortunately, I have a practice room. Search and read novel network update speed The fastest on the entire network.
