Yang Ming went to find Shen Shuiyue. Shan Liwen wanted to design and forge Yang Ming's magic weapon. It was estimated that the time would not be short, so Yang Ming set himself the second half of the year to complete Shan Liwen's task.
Before I knew it, I had entered the interior of the forest from the path south of Shuiyue City.
Here, Yang Ming is completely integrated into this vast nature. The scenery in the forest is beautiful, with tangled vines and thick moss on the ground. The towering ancient trees here are all more than 40 meters high, with animals singing, birds singing, and pine waves. The waves make it look even more profound and ancient.
At this time, Yang Ming discovered that the magic in his body moved faster in the forest than in the city.
"Yes, I have earth and wood magic elements in my body. Practicing in an environment rich in wood and earth magic elements like a forest will have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort."
Yang Ming told Shen Shuiyue this discovery, and Shen Shuiyue smiled and said: "Yang Ming, although you are at a high level, your training time is too short. This situation is what we demon warriors call an 'attribute-assisted environment'. When it suits you, Practicing in an environment with certain attributes can have a bonus effect."
"Attribute-assisted environment." Yang Ming repeated the name in his mind. Shen Shuiyue said that it was true that his training time was short. Although Yang Ming is a purple soul demon warrior, it has only been a year since he started training, and he knows too much. Less, so he planned to use this mission to ask Shen Shuiyue for advice on some "well-known" issues to avoid being ridiculed by others in the future.
Time passed day by day, and Yang Ming and his wife encountered many magical beasts in this forest, such as flying lizards, giant vampire bats, and griffons. They encountered a new species almost every day they walked, which really opened Yang Ming's eyes. . Gradually, he also figured out something. The monsters here seemed to have strictly divided their territory. Wherever he walked every day, once he entered the territory of a certain kind of monster, he would immediately be attacked by that type of monster. There was a waterfall. The places with streams and rivers are public areas and are relatively safer.
After walking for a few days, Yang Ming's space ring had already contained dozens of high-level magic cores. Those monsters that dared to challenge him all fell under Yang Ming's steel-like fists. . Shen Shuiyue was speechless. She was here to practice or Yang Ming was here to practice.
When it was time to set up camp at night, Yang Ming counted the distance on his fingers, took out the map and flipped through it. He estimated that he was not far from the forest exit. He was in a good mood. In front of the campfire, Yang Ming spent the past half month. The harvest was proudly laid out in front of him. Under the illumination of the night sky and the bonfire, several huge six-level magic cores bloomed with a blur of beauty, making Yang Ming feel elated.
These six-level magic cores were donated to Yang Ming by the overlord-level monsters in the forest. Even under Yang Ming's level, the level-6 monsters could not last more than ten minutes and were defeated.
"Yang Ming, should you let me take action too? Every time you see a monster coming towards you, you rush forward excitedly and kill the monster three times, five times and two times. Do you know that my hands are itchy too? Next time you do this, I will beat you instead of fighting the monsters." Shen Shuiyue pouted and said dissatisfiedly.
"I'm sorry, I don't know why I became aggressive. It may be because of the Chaos Dragon Body. I will definitely let you take action next time." Yang Ming clasped his hands together to express his apology.
"Let's make an agreement first. Next time you take action, I will go back to Shuiyue City. You can go to Shuiyue Block by yourself. Anyway, I am no different in Shuiyue City than when I am by your side." Shen Shuiyue said with a straight face, The atmosphere became awkward for a moment. A fragrant smell came from the food buried under the bonfire, breaking the awkward situation.
"It smells so good!" Shen Shuiyue swallowed, and Yang Ming moved the bonfire, used branches to dig out the thin layer of soil covering the bonfire, and took out a steaming clod of soil. When the clod of soil was broken open, a layer of leaves of a certain plant that had been roasted to brown was revealed. When the leaves were opened, what was revealed inside turned out to be a whole iron-clawed chicken.
"Shuiyue, please try it. This is a dish I often made when I was in the mountain village. It's very delicious." Yang Ming pulled out a chicken leg and handed it to Shen Shuiyue. He accidentally discovered iron in the forest. Claw chicken, this kind of chicken is not a monster, but it can run very fast. It was a rare delicacy when hunting in the past.
Shen Shuiyue took the chicken leg and took a bite. The elastic muscle fibers were full of rich meat juice, which made Shen Shuiyue's dissatisfaction disappear.
"Hehe, it smells so good!" A muffled thunderous voice shook the entire silent forest.
Yang Ming raised his head, and by the light of the bonfire, a tall figure slowly walked out of the darkness, and he immediately became alert.
The figure gradually became clearer. It was a giant man two or three meters tall, covered in clothes made of emerald green leaves. The giant man's face was a waxy yellow color, mixed with a little vague ruddy color. His hair Just like the vines of a thousand-year-old tree, they are lush green and echo gently when the night wind blows.
"Who are you?" Yang Ming shouted. If this person can approach here quietly, he must be not weak in cultivation. He may be stronger than Yang Ming. He should be a black soul demon warrior like Shan Liwen.
"Boy, your food smells so good. Can you share some with me?" The giant man didn't seem to hear Yang Ming's question. He walked around the fire and walked to Yang Ming's side. Yang Ming was nearly two meters tall. He actually wanted to look up at him.
"Okay, but you have to tell me who you are?" Yang Ming said in exchange. He was very afraid of the giant man in front of him.
"You give me food first, and then I'll tell you who I am." The giant man said in a bargaining manner.
Yang Ming tore off half of the iron-clawed chicken and handed it to the giant man. After taking it, the giant man took a big bite and kept mumbling: "It's delicious, it's really delicious. I haven't eaten meat in a long time."
Soon, half of the chicken was in the giant man's belly. The giant man licked his fingers with unfinished content, and looked at the half chicken in Yang Ming's hand with bright eyes. Yang Ming hurriedly hid behind him and said, "Okay. It’s time for you to fulfill your promise.”
"Hehe, boy, I want the remaining half of the chicken. Give it to me and I will tell you who I am." The giant man was bargaining again.
"Why are you like this? Didn't you tell us when we agreed to share your food?" Shen Shuiyue put her hands on her hips and angrily scolded the giant man. She has been pampered since she was a child. She has always made demands on others in Chenghua Palace, and there is no one to whom she can ask. She made demands.
"If you don't give it to me, grab it. I don't know if you have the ability to resist the black soul demon warrior." The giant man seemed to really want to take action.
"No, just take it." Yang Ming quickly called the giant man to stop, and then handed the remaining chicken to the giant man.
"Hee hee, you are sensible, then let me tell you who I am." The giant man took the chicken with one hand and said while eating: "My name is Xue Hai, and I am the former elder of the Green Wood Sect."
"Green Wood Sect? Are you from the Green Wood Sect?" Yang Ming and Shen Shuiyue were shocked.
Xue Hai waved his hand and corrected them: "It's the former elder. I have nothing to do with the Green Wood Sect now."
Shen Shuiyue said to Yang Ming again: "The main family of the Green Wood Sect seems to be the Xue family, so in this way, this Xue Hai is a direct member of the Xue family."
When Xue Hai heard Shen Shuiyue talking about being directly connected to the Xue family, he immediately became angry: "I told you that I have no relationship with the Xue family at all."
Yang Ming and Yang Ming were also startled by Xue Hai's sudden anger. Yang Ming hurriedly said: "Since the senior is directly related to the Xue family, why do you want to sever ties with the Xue family?"
Xue Hai looked at Yang Ming and thought about the chicken he had just eaten, so he had to say: "Because I was framed, the Xue family kicked me out."
"What on earth is going on? The Xue family will expel the direct clan members from the sect?" Shen Shuiyue said in surprise.
"It all started when the head of the Xue family married his third wife twenty years ago." Xue Hai recalled.
Twenty years ago, Xue Tiancheng, the head of the Xue family, accidentally met Mu Rou, a commoner woman when he was out. He fell in love with her at first sight and married her as his third wife. In the following years, Xue Tiancheng was obedient to Mu Rou, and Mu Rou said nothing. Xue Tiancheng did not dare to go west, and Mu Rou indirectly controlled the Green Wood Sect. Many elders of the Green Wood Sect and direct members of the Xue family wrote to Xue Tiancheng to stop listening to Mu Rou's advice. However, Xue Tiancheng seemed to be possessed by a demon. Not only did he not Heeding the advice and warning those who wrote the letter not to meddle in their own business, Mu Rou used this to kick out the objections and kicked them out of the Green Wood Sect on unfounded charges. Xue Hai was one of them.
Shen Shuiyue also remembered that the relationship between the Green Wood Sect and various dragon clan sects began to deteriorate more than ten or twenty years ago. It seemed that this Mu Rou was not just an ordinary woman.
Yang Ming said: "Senior, are you willing to let the Green Wood Sect be controlled by a woman?"
Xue Hai said loudly: "Of course I don't want to, but the sect leader is confused by that woman, what can I do? I have been expelled from the Green Wood Sect for fifteen years, and I want to go back to the Green Wood Sect every moment. I came to this forest to live in seclusion and eat wild vegetables and fruits every day. I just don’t want to forget this woman Mu Rou’s conspiracy against our Green Wood Sect. One day I will go back to the Green Wood Sect when I think of a way to deal with her."
"Let's do this. We are going to look for Jiao Dan in the water and wood block. Senior, you will go with us. If there is a chance, we will help you get rid of that Mu Rou." Yang Ming said.
"Do you have a way to deal with Mu Rou?" Xue Hai said in shock.
"I have no way to deal with her, but I have a way to make Sect Master Xue Tiancheng wake up from Mu Rou's confusion." Yang Ming said confidently.
"You have a way to make the sect master wake up?" Xue Hai said in disbelief.
Yang Ming said: "We have been chatting for so long, but I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Yang Ming, and I am from Zilong Palace. Her name is Shen Shuiyue, and she is the eldest lady of Chenghua Palace."
Xue Hai looked at the two people intently. He didn't expect that he just wanted to beg for some food from a passerby, and he met someone with the same level of power as the Green Wood Sect, and they were two people from different powers. He couldn't help but think in his heart: Are there already so many people from the Nine Dragon Clans? How come they met two at once?
