After entering the Cenji Mountains, Su Yuntian and He Rong's team had not yet encountered any living members of other families, so they couldn't help but be overjoyed to see Ning Yao appear.
He Rong was particularly happy.
He knew that his nephew He Ziren was obsessed with Ning Yao, and when he saw Ning Yao appear, he thought that He Ziren was not far away.
The heroic "Ning Yao", her satin dress was stained with grass blades and debris, came here covered in travel, looking around with bright eyes.
After searching, she didn't see the person she was looking for, so she asked again with a cold expression: "Where is Pang Jian?"
"Who is Pang Jian?"
Su Yuntian said curiously.
"That's the young man who came out of Crescent Lake carrying a bamboo basket and a spear."
"Ning Yao" frowned and looked for a long time, with impatience on her lips, not wanting to waste any time.
Secretly, she was instructing the gray eagle that brought her here to search around.
"Oh, you're talking about that boy!"
Su Yuntian came to his senses and pointed in one direction with a smile: "He went over there and has been away for a while."
"Whoosh!"
The dark gray eagle that was hovering in Crescent Lake suddenly flew high into the sky from nowhere and headed towards the position of Su Yuntian's finger.
"Sister Ning, why are you alone?"
Su Meng's round face was full of smile, and she took the initiative to come forward and ask.
"Ning Yao" looked at her in confusion, as if she didn't recognize who she was. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Well, Su Meng, long time no see."
Su Meng smiled and said: "It's been a long time since I last saw you. I think you have almost forgotten me."
She spun around in a circle and stepped on her toes to make herself taller, and said: "When we last met, I was a child, and now I'm this tall."
She put her fleshy little hand on her head and gestured to Ning Yao's height.
"Ning Yao" didn't care about her, she said politely and wanted to leave.
"Girl Ning, where is Ziren?"
He Rong frowned, looked left and right but didn't see He Ziren appearing, and said anxiously: "Ziren went to the Ning family because of you. From the news I got, he should have followed you from beginning to end. Now you
When we reach this mountain range, it’s impossible for Ziren not to come in!”
Su Yuntian and others were also surprised.
Not long after Ning Yao entered the Tongmai Realm, she was not the leader of the Ning family in this exploration of the Cenji Mountains.
It was her uncle Ning Yuanshan.
Ning Yao now appeared alone, pretending to be in a hurry to find Pang Jian, making them unable to understand.
"Ning Yao", who was stared at with suspicion by them, narrowed her eyes and lowered her head. After asking about the real owner of this body, she said sadly: "Ziren, Uncle Yuanshan, and the Ning family who came with me."
Others, including many members of the Zhou family, died at the hands of the dark ghost Hong Tai."
"Dark ghost?!"
The faces of the Su and He families suddenly changed.
"It's at the Black Water Pond on the other side of the mountain. Except for me, Zhou Qingchen, and Han Duping, everyone else should not have escaped the attack of the dark ghost."
"Ning Yao" sighed quietly, and while searching for Pang Jian's whereabouts with the help of the "spirit evil" in Gray Eagle's body, she pretended to be sad and said: "The young man named Pang Jian is the guide I invited from the outside, and he is also a survivor.
one."
She looked at Su Meng and asked: "By the way, have you seen a giant python emerging from Crescent Lake with him?"
Su Meng was in shock and was thinking about the atrocities of the dark ghost. After hearing this, she answered honestly: "He came up and grilled some fish, talked to us for a while, and then said goodbye to us."
When she heard that the "Dark Giant Anaconda" was not accompanying her, "Ning Yao" breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly: "It's fine if I don't have one. That black and white king python is the mount of Dark Ghost Hong Tai. It means he got rid of it if he didn't chase her."
"That guy hid a lot of things from us!"
Su Yuntian said angrily.
When Pang Jian chatted with them, he did not mention that he had been attacked by a dark ghost, nor did he mention that he knew Ning Yao and Zhou Qingchen. This made Su Yuntian very dissatisfied.
"On the other side of the mountain there are only piles of corpses, and maybe there are ghosts and people moving around. There is no need to go there and explore."
"Ning Yao" explained the danger over there, and before Gray Eagle could find Pang Jian's traces, he said, "I have something to ask Pang Jian, so I'll take the first step."
"Girl Ning, why don't we go together? It's too dangerous for you to be alone!"
Su Yuntian said hurriedly.
He Rong, whose nephew died, remained silent for a long time. Seeing her leaving in a hurry, he suddenly reacted: "We should go together!"
"Ning Yao" who was about to leave looked back at these people, hesitated for a moment, and reluctantly said, "Okay."
…
A forest covered with branches and leaves.
Saying goodbye to the Su and He families, Pang Jian felt as if he was flying high in the sky and letting birds fly. He galloped through the forest, shuttling through the gaps between the lush ancient trees.
He would stomp the ground from time to time, rush into the air like a sharp sword, and then land with a crash.
Sometimes it flexibly hangs branches and uses its strength to swing to the branches of another ancient tree, swinging like an ape in the jungle.
With a spear in his hand, he wielded it with great power.
With just one stab, you can pierce a large tree that requires many people to hug it.
There was a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, and his slightly squinted eyes were as thin as a knife blade, shining with a captivating light.
After the second round of tempering by Phoenix Essence, all the bones in his body have been tempered. Now, not only his arms and sternum, but also the legs and toes below the waist and abdomen are full of arrogance and strength.
With one powerful leap, he could fly nearly ten meters in the forest, and his soles of his feet were not painful or numb when he landed heavily.
The feeling of overwhelming power in his body made him have the urge to find someone to have a hearty battle with.
"It was the phoenix marrow harvested twice and the transformation of my body that allowed me to undergo such a transformation. If I am not mistaken, there is a drop of the most miraculous phoenix marrow that has not yet shown its miraculous powers in the bronze medal."
Looking at the bronze door pendant hanging on his chest again, Pang Jian felt more and more mysterious about this thing.
Half an hour later.
Pang Jian, who was a little tired, shot a roe deer, prepared it briefly and lit a fire to roast it. After a while, the meat of the roe deer was fragrant.
Eating the firm meat, Pang Jian found that after waking up on the dark stone path, his appetite increased greatly and he was extremely greedy for meat.
It didn't take long for him to finish the roe deer weighing several dozen kilograms. Looking at the bones lying on the ground, he suddenly heard the familiar cry of an eagle.
Looking up, I saw a dark gray eagle reappearing in mid-air.
"Why is it staring at me?"
Pang Jian frowned in confusion.
When we were at Crescent Lake, this eagle was circling, observing him from multiple angles. After looking at him for a long time, he reluctantly left.
After he said goodbye to Su Yuntian, He Rong and others, the eagle came again, not knowing what it wanted to do.
Pang Jian suddenly felt that the target of this eagle was him, not the Su and He families.
Pang Jian felt uncomfortable being targeted by such an eagle. He looked at the dragon-patterned spear and thought of the majestic strength that had surged in his arm before, and a cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes.
Lifting the dragon pattern spear suddenly, he continued to carry the bamboo basket on his back, and once again wandered through the mountains and forests.
At this moment, he suddenly had a strange feeling that he was the king of the forest in the Silent Mountains.
Every grass and tree in the mountains, birds, beasts and insects, are all private property within the territory under his jurisdiction.
“Nice feeling.”
He muttered secretly and disappeared among the dense branches and leaves of the ancient tree.
This time, he no longer rushed away from the branches and leaves, but carefully lurked.
He looked at the dim sky through the gaps in the leaves and waited patiently.
After a while, the dark gray eagle flying in the air couldn't help but lower its altitude because it had not been seen for a long time, wanting to investigate it at close range.
When Pang Jian felt that the eagle was within his range, the dragon-marked spear was suddenly thrown out like ghost lightning.
"Poof!"
The dragon-patterned spear accurately locked onto the eagle, without any error, and pierced the annoying eagle directly from bottom to top!
The dragon-patterned spear was hung on the eagle and fell into the forest dozens of meters away. Pang Jian, who succeeded, rushed over like an agile cheetah.
Before he arrived in front of the eagle, a "Spirit Evil" with Tongmai realm floated out of the eagle's body in time and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Pang Jian rushed over, first pulled out the dragon pattern spear, then looked at the fallen eagle, and sneered: "When I was hunting in the mountains before, why didn't I see you staring at me everywhere?"
There were many goshawks in the Silent Mountains, and he couldn't tell which one this one was, but when he was hunting before, he had never noticed that he would be specially "taken care of" by these goshawks.
After killing the eagle, Pang Jian felt a lot more relaxed. He was not hungry for the time being and had no intention of eating the eagle.
The Silent Mountain Range is huge, and there are all kinds of wild beasts everywhere. With his current fighting power, he can eat any wild beast he wants, so he naturally won't care about this eagle.
He got back on the road and headed towards the northernmost part of the Serenity Mountains, another location defined as a restricted area by his father.
After the experience in Black Water Pond, he vaguely felt that several restricted areas in the Serenity Mountains might be chosen by Phoenix Bones as the target for his assassination.
After realizing the magic of Phoenix Essence, he planned to go to another restricted area and try his luck again.
In the far north, the "strange fog" and boundary wall that Zhou Qingchen and others mentioned several times also aroused his infinite curiosity.
The location of the "Fog" was listed by his father as the first restricted area in the Silent Mountains, and he was not allowed to set foot there at any time.
But now that his strength has greatly increased, he has seen the wonders of the world of cultivation, and has the desire to climb to the top of the mountain in the upper world step by step, he no longer wants to obey his father's instructions.
…
It's late at night again.
Pang Jian, who had been tired for a long time, stopped practicing the "Hu Tian Qi Nourishing Technique" for the first time after eating and drinking.
Feeling deeply sleepy, he found another secret base.
This was a big withered tree with a hollow inside. He also made a "door" out of the cracked bark.
He didn't know that in this dark night of the fourth realm, there was a gray "spirit evil" that was always watching his movements.
Pang Jian finally felt at ease and fell into a deep sleep in the tree hole. He had a sound and satisfying sleep.
When he woke up, it was getting dark.
Pushing open the cracked bark door and walking out, Pang Jian suddenly saw a familiar figure sitting under the shade of a big tree not far from him.
The girl took off her simple and smart clothes and put on a satin dress. Her black hair and long eyelashes were covered with crystal dew.
She looked like a forest spirit in the early morning mist.
Her thicker eyebrows and straight nose bridge originally made her very heroic, but in the misty mist, she seemed to suddenly have a feminine and hazy beauty.
Two completely different temperaments converged on her at this moment, making her beauty suddenly sublime.
Pang Jian rubbed his eyes, stared at her again, and asked in surprise: "Ning Yao?"
"Didn't you expect that I'm still alive?"
The woman in the thin white mist opened her eyes with a cold expression, and immediately stood up and walked over.
A few dozen meters away.
When people from the Su family and He family saw her standing up, they also saw Pang Jian suddenly appearing, and both families were shocked.
"I have something to discuss with him, please don't disturb me."
When approaching Pang Jian, "Ning Yao" stopped and turned back, looking coldly at He Rong and others with warning eyes.
Those people frowned and couldn't understand why Ning Yao looked at them coldly and acted so alienated from them.
Pang Jian was startled, and then he realized that not only Ning Yao was there, but also the He and Su families he had met not long ago.
"Let's talk inside the tree hole."
"Ning Yao", who had been waiting for him to come out, put her white jade hands on his chest, pushed him in first, and then followed him into the tree hole.
Seeing this scene, He Rong's face suddenly showed anger.
Su Yuntian scratched his head, unsure of the relationship between Ning Yao and Pang Jian, because Ning Yao's behavior seemed a bit... frivolous.
"them……"
Su Meng was so surprised that she could fit an egg into her mouth.
In the tree hole, Pang Jian felt a little awkward.
This tree hole was prepared for himself, and he never thought it would accommodate a second person.
When he was alone, the space in the tree hole was just right, but it seemed cramped when Ning Yao came in.
In the small tree hole, a person suddenly appeared, and they inevitably had physical contact.
When he breathed, Pang Jian could smell the faint fragrance of Ning Yao. He couldn't guess Ning Yao's intention, so he had to remain silent.
After entering the tree hole, "Ning Yao" behaved gracefully, with a strange and aggressive look in her bright eyes.
She looked at the small space in front of the two people's chests, and the strange color in her eyes gradually became stronger.
"I'm sorry. I solemnly apologize to you. It was all my fault before!"
She suddenly apologized sincerely, her eyes falling on Pang Jian's face from the gap between their chests.
"I shouldn't have threatened you when I went to get the first phoenix bone. There is no distinction between you and me in terms of status. You were hired by me with money. You are not a slave of my Ning family."
"Because I am used to ordering those slaves and being aloof, so there is something wrong with my behavior."
After saying that, she bent down to apologize, and the gap between her and Pang Jian ceased to exist.
She "accidentally" touched Pang Jian's chest, and suddenly straightened her posture as if she had reacted.
Pang Jian, who was a little confused by her, took a deep breath, and the gap between their chests healed again.
