Every three years, the Southern Barbarian Underworld will appear in the Southern Barbarian Forbidden Land.
If you want to find the entrance to the Southern Barbarian Underworld, you have to pass through vast forests where monsters are rampant. When you enter the forbidden area, you have a great chance of encountering a big monster entrenched in one area. It can be said that it is full of murderous intent and full of dangers.
Now, as the Nanman Underworld is about to appear, the number of pedestrians on the bustling streets of Songyan City is obviously several times more than before. The crowds are like the tide, making it seem extremely noisy.
"Layer City, Yuying City, Luosha City... It seems that monks from all the cities in southern Xinjiang have appeared. This Southern Barbarian trial is an unprecedented event!"
"Oh, who says it's not the case? I don't know what General Qin was thinking. He actually allowed these foreign monks to participate. If nothing else, it was just to compete for the astonishingly valuable evil beads. This trial in the Southern Barbarian Nether Realm is absolutely unacceptable.
It will be peaceful."
"That's true, but I heard people say that most people don't just come here just for the Evil Beads. They seem to be looking for some kind of Sword Immortal Cave in the Southern Barbarian Underworld. I don't know if it's true or not."
"Sword Immortal's Cave? Come on, don't be kidding me. The spiritual energy of the Nanman Underworld is exhausted and the evil spirit is soaring. Which Sword Immortal would build a cave there if he is bored?"
…
Along the way, all kinds of discussions filled the streets and alleys, and there was a strange atmosphere of an impending storm.
"The Nanman Underworld will appear tomorrow, and the entrance will only be open for three hours, so we have to rush there overnight."
Walking to the Nanman Mountains, Du Qingxi took a jade slip map, looked at it briefly, and said seriously, "Everyone, be careful. Monsters and beasts are rampant in the Nanman Mountains at night. It is extremely dangerous. Don't take it lightly."
"Don't worry, Qingxi. With the strength of the three of us, even if we meet the big demon of Zifu, we are enough to kill him." Duanmuze smiled slightly, his tone casual and normal, as if he was talking about a simple matter.
Kill the big demon of Zifu?
Chen Xi felt a chill in his heart. If this guy dared to say such big words, his strength must have advanced to the Purple Mansion realm, and Du Qingxi and that Song Lin must not be much different.
However, aren’t the monks from the Zi Mansion unable to enter the Southern Barbarian Underworld? Maybe they have other ways to enter...
This question involves a certain amount of privacy, and Chen Xi was not familiar with the three of them, so he couldn't ask more questions, so he had to keep it secretly in his heart.
The night is shrouded with stars.
Looking down from the sky, countless streams of people are rushing towards the Nanman Mountains like lines of ants. A rough estimate is that there are no less than tens of thousands of people.
"Hey, am I not dazzled? Duanmuze, who is known as the genius of the younger generation in Longyuan City, is here too?"
"You can't go wrong. That person is definitely Duanmuze. It is said that he already has a four-star cultivation level in the Zifu and may become the next successor of the Duanmu clan."
"Wow, it turns out he is Duan Muze, whom I have always dreamed of. He is indeed as handsome as the rumors say. He is so handsome!"
…
Just as Chen Xi and the others were preparing to enter the mountain, someone next to them recognized Duanmuze, which instantly aroused a burst of exclamation and praise.
A reserved smile appeared on Duanmuze's handsome face. He had already seen these scenes in Longyuan City, so he didn't think anything of it. He smiled at Du Qingxi beside him and said, "I didn't expect to be recognized so quickly. These people are really
It’s boring enough.”
"Since we're bored, let's leave quickly." Du Qingxi said, her expression always as cold as snow, as if nothing around her could interest her.
Duanmuze was startled, shook his head and smiled, but he was secretly angry. It was too difficult to win over this girl from the Du family. Did he have to force himself to do it?
He has been pursuing Du Qingxi, but Du Qingxi's temperament is too cold. He has tried many methods and ultimately failed.
For a boy from a noble family like him, he can easily find a lot of beautiful women, but in Duanmuze's eyes, those women are vulgar and there are only a few people in Longyuan City who can match him.
That's all, Du Qingxi, who was born in the Du family, is undoubtedly one of them.
Du Qingxi is extremely beautiful and extremely intelligent. What is especially important is that she is the only daughter of the head of the Du family. If he marries her, he will not only get a beautiful woman but also gain the support of the Du family. For Duan Muze,
This is the result he wants most.
Because being the son-in-law of the Du family means that he has the support of the entire Du family. With this kind of support, Duanmuze is 100% confident that he can ascend to the position of head of the Duanmu family.
Therefore, although Duanmuze was hit by Du Qingxi's cold attitude at this time, Duanmuze would never give up his pursuit of Du Qingxi.
However, he still felt a little unhappy, especially with Chen Xi standing next to him and watching.
This kid is just afraid of laughing at himself for being so sentimental, right?
Duanmuze glanced at Chen Xi, only to see that this guy was looking at his nose and heart, looking like he was wandering around. He didn't give him a chance to find trouble at all. His teeth itched with hatred for a moment, and he secretly thought in his heart that he was waiting for him to enter the forest.
I'll take this opportunity to deal with you, this cheap servant!
The night was getting thicker and thicker, covering the entire Nanman Mountains like black ink. From a distance, there were waves of terrifying beast roars, adding a chilling and chilling atmosphere.
Facing this scene, even Song Lin, who had been drowsy all the way, couldn't help but open his eyes, his eyes bright and bright.
"Let me remind you, if you dare to hold us back, no matter what Qingxi thinks, I will definitely fix you first."
There was a sound transmission in his ears. Chen Xi raised his eyes and saw Duanmuze looking at him with a smile on his face, as if the words just now did not come from his mouth at all.
Faced with this aggressive disdain and threat, Chen Xi chose to ignore it.
Holding back?
At that time, I don’t know who is holding whom back.
Thinking of the scenes of fighting those insidious and ferocious monsters every night in the past three months, Chen Xi felt pity for Duan Muze. What about the monks of the Zi Mansion? Those monsters are not vegetarians, they are all sinister and vicious, and they are full of tricks.
…
After entering the mountain, in order to show his gentlemanly demeanor, he was led by Duan Muze, who was dressed in white clothes and holding a sword. Coupled with his handsome and elegant smile, he could indeed make most women fall in love with him.
Du Qingxi did not object, and Song Lin followed sleepily at the back of the team. It was impossible for Chen Xi to steal the limelight from this coquettish young man.
So along the way, Duanmuze regarded himself as the leader of the team. Chen Xi suggested that he change the route several times, but he flatly refused. According to him, "I, a sword cultivator, have to take this route even if there is no other way."
The sword in your hand cuts a path, taking detours is not the style of a swordsman..."
Chen Xi didn't say any more. If someone wants to be unlucky, no one can stop him.
Then, in a place with lush flowers and trees in the woods, a swarm of ice-tailed poisonous bees swarmed in as Chen Xi expected.
As a fourth-star swordsman in the Purple Mansion, Duanmuze was not afraid of these gadgets. He immediately drew his sword and splashed with sword light. The sharp sword energy was like a crossbow arrow. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of ice tail poisons were fired.
The bee died instantly.
"It turned out to be a swarm of little bees. What a disappointing opponent."
Duanmuze sighed with a reserved expression. Just as he was about to put away his sword, his face suddenly stiffened and a look of astonishment appeared in his eyes.
Red and swollen pimples suddenly appeared on the skin of his face and hands, and his handsome face became as miserable as a roasted pig's head.
"ah!"
Mr. Duanmu let out a shrill scream, and the unbearable itching on his face and back of his hands made him no longer care about his manners, and started scratching his face fiercely with both hands.
"What's going on?" Du Qingxi's heart froze. Seeing Duanmuze's ugly tickling posture, he was filled with doubts.
"Um, brother Duanmu, are you doing monkey boxing?" Song Lin opened his sleepy eyes and muttered vaguely: "I remember you hated monkey boxing the most, saying that the posture is too ugly and affects the aesthetics and demeanor."
"Although he killed the Ice-tailed Venomous Bee, his cheeks and hands were stung by the Ice-tailed Venomous Bee's tail sting, so he was itching unbearably." Chen Xi said with a frown, feeling secretly happy in his heart.
These ice-tailed venomous wasps are about the size of a thumb and are completely black. Their tail stingers are as thin as cow hairs and crystal clear. The bee stings pierce into human skin, just like ice melting into water. They are hard to prevent. The venom will soak into the blood in an instant and cause the skin to swell.
Big red, swollen bumps with unbearable itching.
"Since you know, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Du Qingxi looked over coldly, with a hint of blame in his tone.
"I tried to persuade him, but he said that as a sword cultivator, he must use the sword in his hand..."
Before Chen Xi could finish speaking, Duanmuze, who was scratching his head and ears in the distance, suddenly roared: "Shut up, you kid!"
"Let's go, I'm fine." Duanmuze gasped for a while, resisted the itching on his body, stood up, and walked forward with a trembling body.
"Well, Brother Duanmu is the most elegant person. In terms of good manners in Longyuan City, Brother Duanmu is definitely the number one. Now that things are happening like this, he must feel uncomfortable, right?"
Song Lin sighed lazily, glanced at Chen Xi intentionally or unintentionally, then closed his eyes and fell into a sleepy state again.
"Oh, if I had known that he was so ticklish, I should have tried to persuade him more, and so many things wouldn't have happened." Chen Xi said with an innocent face.
When these words fell into Duanmuze's ears, the evil fire in his heart surged even more. Especially when he thought of the ugly appearance just now falling into Du Qingxi's eyes, he was so angry that he almost spit out a mouthful of blood, and roared in his heart: "
Damn it, this guy must have done it on purpose. He didn't remind me properly and just made sarcastic remarks at the right time. Just wait, I want you to look good!
"Mr. Duanmu, there are some monsters ahead that are far from powerful. Do you want to change the path?" Chen Xi asked with concern as if he had a conscience.
Duanmuze stiffened, and then replied fiercely: "Thank you, no need!"
As he spoke, as if to vent his anger, Duanmuze quickened his pace, waving the long sword in his hand, and the vines and weeds in front of him instantly turned into fly ash.
"You seem to be familiar with this place?" Du Qingxi asked with a frown.
Chen Xi nodded and said, "I have been here for a while before."
"Then why don't you lead the way?" Du Qingxi pressed hard.
Chen Xi looked at Duanmuze in the distance and didn't say much, but his meaning was clearly revealed.
"Next, you lead the way." Du Qingxi said in an unquestionable tone.
"Okay!" Chen Xi nodded.
Ah~~
At this moment, Duanmuze's shrill scream sounded again in the distance, with endless anger and fear in his voice, as if he had encountered something terrible.
