It is said that a strict master produces a good disciple. Yu Chen's strict requirements on him are for his own good. Fortunately, Qin Tian also understands his good intentions. The master leads him to practice by himself. If a person does not work hard, even the master with the highest level of cultivation will help him.
Can't help you.
Situ Jing'er pinched her waist and cursed angrily, "How could this guy make such a big noise? Let's see how he will deal with it if it attracts a beast!"
The matchmaker's sweet voice shouted to Qin Tian, "Senior, come back for dinner!"
The young man put on his clothes and ran back quickly, sat by the fire to warm himself and said, "I'm not much different in age from you, you don't have to call me senior all the time."
A trace of shyness flashed across the young man's face. Naturally, he couldn't bear the word "senior". Not only was his cultivation level lower than that of the matchmaker, but there was also a slight age gap. The most important thing was that the word "senior" made him look older.
"You still don't know your senior's surname?" the matchmaker filled a bowl of hot soup and handed it to him and asked.
Qin Tian took the bowl and paused for a moment, thinking that using his original name would definitely not work. Situ Jing'er knew it after checking it, thought about it and said, "My name is Qingtian!"
In desperation, Qin Tian could only temporarily replace himself with the homophonic pronunciation of "Qingtian". As a result, Situ Jing'er laughed unbridledly and squirted out all the soup in his mouth. He laughed at his name because it was too much.
Too rustic.
Naturally, Qin Tian didn't share her knowledge, so he rolled his eyes at her and happily drank the soup prepared by the matchmaker herself.
Seeing Situ Jing'er laughing so hard, the matchmaker couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Then I will call you Senior Qingtian!"
"Hey, you can call me whatever you like!" Qin Tian looked helpless, turned his head and drank by himself.
Naturally, the matchmaker would not believe that this was his real name. She could tell from the hesitation in his eyes for a moment that the matchmaker did not dare to say that he had countless readers, but she could still tell the truth from lies in the man's mouth.
In the forest at night, there are constant chirping of insects and birds, and from time to time, mournful sounds can be heard. Most of the beasts have become active, searching for food in the forest, hoping to survive better.
This world is like this forest. The weak eat the strong, and the strong is supreme. This is the law of nature. No one can change it. The only thing that can be changed is to become strong enough and become the 'strong eater', the top of the food chain.
man of.
Situ Jing'er felt sleepy early, so she went into the thatched shed and fell asleep.
Qin Tian and Matchmaker sat beside the fire. They sat facing each other without talking. The atmosphere seemed a bit awkward. The young man wanted to find something to talk about, but he didn't know where to start.
The matchmaker first broke the tranquility, hugged her knees, looked at the fire with blurred eyes and asked, "Senior, do you believe in fate?"
The bright firelight reflected the blush on her melancholy face, which made people look at her in a mesmerizing way, and they couldn't help but feel pity for her.
Qin Tian didn't understand what she meant, so he immediately said, "I believe it, but I believe in myself more!"
Qin Tian continued, "This world is inherently unfair. Some people are born rich or noble, and some people are born hungry and cold. But I always firmly believe that fate can be changed and luck can be created."
Qin Tian, who has been under the care of others since he was a child, has suffered from strange looks and supercilious looks from around him. In that world, only money is the last word, and having money is synonymous with 'success'. In this world, only who has the biggest fist is the last word.
, if you have the strength, you can formulate the laws of this world.
He does not believe in fate. No one is destined to be born. The curse of fate cannot defeat human desires. Only death can define fate.
Cats like fish, but they can’t swim. Fish like earthworms, but they can’t get to the shore. If they forcefully change their fate, the cat will eventually drown and the fish will be dried out in the sun.
"Fate can be changed, luck can be created...it's easier said than done!" The matchmaker's eyes swayed with mist, and she turned her face sideways to look at the endlessly flowing river, and said sadly, "Just like it, it is destined to only flow down, but will never flow up!"
"
The matchmaker's life was dark. When she was very young, everyone in the village was massacred by a group of people. Her mother used her blood-soaked body to protect her and she survived. When she opened her eyes again,
At that time, the entire village was burned to the ground. After being transferred several times, she finally entered the mysterious "Martial Arts Department". In this organization, she endured everything that a child should not endure. The hard training destroyed her body and the bullying of her peers.
It trampled on her self-esteem, but she could not escape the prison of this fate no matter what.
Qin Tian didn't know how to refute. It's up to people to make things happen. Maybe this is the so-called providence and the so-called destiny. The most important thing is persistence. Even if you pay the price of your life, you should at least try hard in the first place.
After listening to the former's words, the young man felt as if a stone was pressing on his heart, with a touch of sadness in his eyes.
In an instant, a slight and difficult-to-detect abnormal sound brought Qin Tian back to his senses, and he took out the knife from the storage ring.
Seeing how nervous he looked, the matchmaker stood up and asked warily, "Senior..."
"Shh!" Qin Tian quickly made a silent gesture and said, "There are ferocious beasts nearby, and there are a lot of them. You take the princess and go first!"
Nothing was found in her consciousness, but Qin Tian was different. Although his consciousness was far inferior to that of the matchmaker, he could easily understand potential dangers with Yu Chen's reminder.
The matchmaker didn't have the slightest suspicion and slowly moved towards Situ Jing'er on tiptoe.
The awakened Situ Jing'er was about to scream when the matchmaker covered her mouth. Situ Jing'er was not stupid and knew what had happened, otherwise the two of them would not have been so nervous and quickly got up reluctantly from the warm nest.
The matchmaker pulled her and slowly walked away, while Qin Tian was also responsible for guarding the surroundings.
In the jungle, the chaotic sounds became louder and louder. In the end, only dense red dots were seen swarming out of the jungle, layer upon layer, rolling in like the wave. The matchmaker took a look, and her scalp was instantly numb and frightened.
shouted "Senior, run quickly, this is the red-armored beast..."
Qin Tian didn't know how powerful the red-armored beasts were, but Matchmaker knew it well. They encountered these creatures on the third day after they entered the dark forest after receiving the order. They originally thought that such low-level beasts were not scary, but who would have thought
There was a dramatic scene as soon as the two sides came into contact. Dozens of strong martial artists sacrificed one-fifth of their lives in less than a cup of tea.
Because no one has come into contact with this kind of beast before, they didn't know that the red-armored beast actually feeds on spiritual energy. The strong air shield in front of it is like the fragile glass, breaking at the touch of it.
There are so many of them that they can devour a person instantly after breaking through the air shield, turning a living person into a skeleton in less than two breaths.
The scene at that time is still vivid in my mind, and it still makes my hair stand on end when I think about it. After the matchmaker said a few words, she pulled Situ Jing'er and ran away.
There were so many red-armored beasts that in an instant, the river was covered by them, turning into a 'torrent' at a glance. It turned out that their target was not these three humans, but to cross the river to reach the other side.
But the matchmaker's shout seemed to disturb them, and some of the red-armored beasts noticed them, changed their route in an instant, and came towards the place where Qin Tian was standing with great force.
Qin Tian also had a numb scalp and a chill in his back. At this time, the matchmaker and the others had not run very far, so in order to buy them more time, he had to hold off for a while alone.
The air shield suddenly appeared, and he struck out at the 'torrent' with a palm. The air wave instantly fell in the middle of the red-armored beast, with a 'boom' sound, like a stone being dropped in the 'sea', with only a few drops of water splashing.
The young man tried to strike a few more times, but it was ineffective as before. For this densely packed red-armored beast, this loss was simply insignificant.
Seeing that they were about to rush forward, the young man took several steps back and pointed the gleaming sword at the fire. The fire was lifted one after another, and finally scattered on the ground like fairy flowers.
The red-armored beasts fled one after another, and for a moment they were in chaos, trampling on each other.
Qin Tian was overjoyed and thought that these guys were afraid of fire. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the young man hurriedly chased after the matchmaker and the others where they had retreated.
The red-armored beast did not catch up, leaving corpses on the ground as the 'army' continued to cross the river. Such a spectacular sight had never been seen before.
Such low-level beasts are naturally not scary, but I am afraid of their "mudslide"-like attacks. If there are too many ants, they can kill an elephant.
Just look at the matchmaker's reaction and you will understand that a dignified Rank 6 martial artist actually escaped, not to mention other people, so the horror of the dark forest will definitely make people talk about it, and it also blocks the vast majority of people.
The cultivators are curious to find out what's going on, and the cultivators who lack strength can only stop and watch outside the dark forest.
Of course, it cannot stop some bolder explorers and hunters.
Qin Tian chased for a long time, and finally caught up, and saw the two people stopping there from a distance.
Qin Tian walked forward. As soon as he got closer, a putrid smell hit his nostrils. He almost vomited out what he had eaten tonight. Resisting the urge to vomit, the young man pinched his nose and glanced around the ground.
.
More than a dozen human corpses lay staggered on the ground, exposing the white bones. The corpses were very badly decomposed. It seemed that they had been dead for a long time. If you look closely at their clothes, you can clearly see that they are two different groups of people. If you look closely,
Taking a quick look, I was shocked to find that they were dressed as ANBU members and the group that snatched seven-leaf clovers on the streets of Kyoto.
Why did they appear here? Qin Tian was full of questions. It had only been a few days since the day he snatched the seven-leaf clover, and the body could not have decomposed so badly.
What he didn't know was that these two groups were people who entered the dark forest to search for the flaming beasts, and had been killed for a long time.
Situ Jing'er couldn't stand the stench, so she ran behind and vomited in disgust.
Qin Tian frowned and said, "It seems that your people and ANBU people fought here!"
"They are ANBU people, so naturally they are incompatible with us!" A complex emotion flashed across the matchmaker's eyes, and she said, "Everyone is their own master."
"I didn't expect that a seven-leaf clover would stir up a bloody storm and kill so many people!" Qin Tian said angrily.
Then he seemed to remember something and asked, "Matchmaker, your mission has not been completed, will you be punished if you return to Xinye Congress?"
The seven-leaf clover was taken away by Yu Chen a long time ago. Qin Tian doesn't even know what it looks like. He can't help her now. After all, there is only one plant, and it was used by Yu Chen. I'm afraid not even the dregs are left.
Got off...
The matchmaker smiled inadvertently, and a warmth suddenly rose in her heart. From the time she joined the armed forces to now, which of those men came not for her body, and there were naturally many words of concern for her, but how many of them were sincere?
"The punishment will naturally not be small. It will only be scolded a few times at most. Senior, don't worry about me!"
Qin Tian uttered a thoughtful thought, but the lives of so many martial artists could not be exchanged for a seven-leaf clover. The young man did not believe that just a few scoldings could solve the problem.
The matchmaker changed the subject and said, "They are not here for the seven-leaf clover."
"Um?"
"Our military department has two missions in sneaking into Daning this time. One is to capture the seven-leaf clover." After a pause, the matchmaker continued, "The second is to search for traces of the flaming spirit beast in the dark forest. According to intelligence
It is said that the seven-leaf clover was accidentally found by an explorer in the dark forest, and the seven-leaf clover thrives with the blood of the burning spirit beast. From this, it can be inferred that there must be the existence of the burning spirit beast in the dark forest.
!”
The matchmaker had no defense against Qin Tian, her savior. If it hadn't been for this man, she would have already faded away, and how could she be as carefree as she is now.
Besides, the existence of the Burning Flame Spirit Beast is no longer a secret. Although the temptation is great, few people dare to venture into the depths of the dark forest.
There is another one. The Burning Flame Spirit Beast's hiding place is very hidden and its nature is very fierce. Even if it is found, ordinary martial arts experts are no match for it. Based on these two points, there is no harm in telling him.
The matchmaker's words made Qin Tian suddenly enlightened. He had long heard Yu Chen talk about the power of the Flame Spirit Beast. Daning and Xin Ye would do anything to get it. I wonder what they would think if they knew the secret.
"Have you seen enough?" Situ Jing'er almost spit out the overnight meal and shouted at the top of her voice, "If you don't leave, I will leave."
Qin Tian and Hong Niang found some dry wood fire nearby, spread it on the corpses and lit them. No matter who they were loyal to during their lifetime, they are just corpses after death. The deceased is gone, so let them get the last
The final destination of the corpse will not be exposed to the world and allowed to be ravaged by ferocious beasts!
After completing these things, the three of them were no longer sleepy and had to rush on the road all night. In fact, visibility in the dark forest is very low no matter day or night, so the journey is the same no matter what time of day.
After walking for three consecutive hours, more and more beast skeletons can be seen everywhere on the road. It seems that they have at least reached the depths of the central part, which means that they will encounter more and more difficult beasts and they will become more and more frequent.
.
Situ Jing'er shouted as she walked. She probably had never walked such a long road in her life. The arrogance she had in the past had become much less arrogant since her spiritual veins were sealed by Yu Chen.
Tired and out of breath, Situ Jing'er stood there with her hands on her hips and muttered, "I really can't walk anymore..."
