I didn't encounter any danger when I entered the valley, and I thought I wouldn't encounter those animals this time.
The preparations made before were probably useless, and Cheng Lin felt a little disappointed at the time.
Unexpectedly, I met an "acquaintance" again at the stall I was about to leave.
The world is really small.
This also answered a question that Cheng Lin had just asked. Zhao Ye and the other three were just ordinary people, and there was no reason why they had not been caught up for so long.
Now it seems that he must have left such a deep impression on this big tiger that it did not immediately attack humans like Zhao Ye who looked similar to him.
Under Cheng Lin's gaze, the Red Flame Tiger stopped completely, with fear in its eyes.
But others haven't seen it yet.
"I'll go take a look."
Cheng Lin's eyes lit up when he heard Zhao Ye's call, he said a word and ran forward quickly.
"Cheng Lin! You..." Sun Xiao stretched out his hand to stop him, but it was already too late.
This made him extremely anxious. He gritted his teeth, and Sun Xiao suddenly stamped his feet and chased after him.
"Be careful!"
Cheng Lin didn't seem to hear it, and the speed of his feet became faster and faster.
The moment he started to move, the red flame tiger trembled. When he started to accelerate, the blood on the tiger's skin suddenly disappeared and turned white.
When Cheng Lin shouted and started to run wildly, the cat immediately turned around and fled.
Gone in the blink of an eye!
Sun Xiao, who was behind him so quickly, didn't even react, and the words "Don't be impulsive" got stuck in his throat.
"Bang!"
Cheng Lin made an emergency stop and stopped right in front of Zhao Ye and the others.
Seeing the three people rolling around with bloodless expressions on their faces, Cheng Lin frowned slightly: "No need to run, it's gone."
"Leaving?"
Zhao Ye was stunned and turned around to see that the God of Death behind him had indeed disappeared.
There was no time to think about the reason for this. When they saw the strange beast leaving, the tense strings in the three people's hearts suddenly relaxed. The whole person staggered and collapsed to the ground, all they could do was breathe heavily.
Cheng Lin walked over and reached out to grab the Shennong grass.
Zhao Ye subconsciously clenched his hands and refused to let go: "You...what are you doing?"
"That's what you just said. As long as I save you, you will give me this." Cheng Lin calmly narrated, then frowned, "Do you want to regret it?"
Without waiting for Zhao Ye to respond, Cheng Lin directly opened his hand and took away the Shennong grass.
Zhao Ye, who was completely exhausted, could not resist at all.
At this time, Sun Xiao also stopped and saw Cheng Lin throwing the Shennong Grass to him and said, "Put it in the bag. Look, the thing is back again."
"This..." Sun Xiao's face was full of surprise, but he didn't say anything and quickly put away the Shennong grass.
Then he looked at Zhao Ye and asked, "Aren't there five of you together? Where are the other two?"
Who would have thought it would be a good thing if he didn't ask, but as soon as he asked, fear appeared on the young faces of the three people at the same time.
One of them even burst out crying, "One of them... was trampled to death by a wild boar.
There was another... a spiritual plant. I didn't pick it, but it was snatched away by a big bird.
Then, then it was torn to pieces in the sky!
Blood, it’s all blood!”
As he spoke, tears and snot ran down his face, and he was obviously frightened to the point of collapse.
After all, they are all young people under the age of twenty and have been born in a peaceful environment.
Usually the most you do is fight with others and shed some blood. When have you ever seen life and death?
Cheng Lin and Sun Xiao both fell silent after hearing this.
When they were separated, they had thought that something might happen to the other person, but now that they knew something had really happened, their hearts were still heavy.
Cheng Lin, in particular, felt even more complicated.
Although he had expected it, and these people did make him unhappy, when he heard the news of their death, he still felt his heart sinking.
After all, from a certain perspective, if he hadn't deduced this "wilderness", then they probably wouldn't have died.
Sun Xiao, who was standing next to him, saw Cheng Lin's expression and patted Cheng Lin on the shoulder.
He said: "When I made up my mind to go into the mountains, I was already prepared that I might die, but I still came.
If something happens to me, I won't blame anyone.
Because I am an adult, I must take responsibility for the choices I make.
No one is allowed to enter this place, even the government does not allow entry in the first place.
But now that I’m here, I have to bear my own responsibility for life and death, and no benefit in the world comes for free.”
After a pause, Sun Xiao looked down at Zhao Ye and the other three, and added: "Besides, they did this themselves."
Sun Xiao's words made Cheng Lin feel relieved.
Yes, projection will not force anyone to come.
Just provide equal opportunities and dangers.
Even from a certain perspective, people like Cheng Lin had invaded the territory where these animals lived.
They are intruders.
Every adult must take responsibility for his or her own choices.
After untying this knot, Cheng Lin nodded and prepared to leave with Sun Xiao.
But at this moment, he suddenly heard an angry roar from the Red Flame Tiger coming from ahead.
At the same time, there was a rumble of trees breaking.
The aura element over there also fluctuated violently.
Cheng Lin and Sun Xiao looked at each other, "Is there anyone fighting?"
Just as he was wondering, he saw two men in uniforms with small lapels walking out of the forest, with smoke and dust still lingering at their feet.
Yang Congxian's thin body was like an unsheathed weapon at this moment.
He held a dark short blade in his hand.
The black lightning on the short blade was slowly dissipating.
The whole person releases a powerful pressure.
People can't help but avoid their eyes and dare not look directly.
"Should we pursue him or not?" Shi Jin asked, looking at a path paved with dripping blood in the jungle.
Yang Congxian shook the blood on the knife and said calmly: "It ran very fast. Don't worry, this strange beast has been seriously injured and can't hurt anyone in the short term. Don't worry about it."
"yes."
Shi Jin nodded.
After Yang Congxian finished speaking, he turned his attention to Cheng Lin and the other five.
"Well? Who let you in?"
Yang Congxian glanced at the several half-year-old boys with cold eyes, his tone was unkind, and when he saw Cheng Lin and Sun Xiao, he let out a light sigh.
"There are actually two awakened ones?"
He was greatly surprised, and the one who was even more surprised than him was Shi Jin.
I saw him striding forward, his eyes falling on Cheng Lin's face: "Is it you again?"
Cheng Lin looked embarrassed and was about to explain when Shi Jin sneered: "Don't tell me, you are passing by again this time."
"...we were wrong."
Cheng Lin pulled Sun Xiao and immediately gave in.
The government explicitly prohibited ordinary people from entering the "wilderness" without permission. He was caught and exposed again, and he was so depressed that he couldn't think of any resistance.
"Team Leader Shi, do you know them?" Yang Congxian asked in surprise.
"It just happened once."
"Well, okay, we'll talk about this later." Yang Congxian put away his curiosity and raised his eyes to look at the valley. In his perception, there was an extremely powerful aura hidden in the valley.
The amount of this aura is not large, and it is dissipating rapidly. It may completely dissipate without a trace in a few dozen minutes.
Although the quantity was small, the quality was so high that he had never seen it before in his life.
As one of the deputy directors of the Ninth Division, Yang Congxian has a peak cultivation level of the third level. Looking at the entire Xia Kingdom, he can also be ranked among the masters.
I have met many powerful people, such as my immediate boss, the Director of the Ninth Division, who is a strong man in the fifth level.
However, even if the Director of the Ninth Division tried his best, the pressure brought to him was far less than the aura in the valley.
In Yang Congxian's eyes, the aura was as deep as the abyss and the sea, so unfathomable that he couldn't help but feel a sense of humility and powerlessness.
This made Yang Congxian feel troubled.
"With such a powerful aura, how powerful must the life that left it behind be?"
He took a deep breath, glanced at Zhao Ye and the others who were paralyzed on the ground, and shook his head slightly.
Then he looked at Cheng Lin and Sun Xiao, who were pretending to be children, and asked: "What did you see here before? In other words, what happened in this valley? Also, you have just awakened.
?”
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Ye, who was lying on the ground panting, all froze.
What?
Awakening?
The two of them...are they awakened?
What happened?
Several people survived the disaster, but before they had time to rejoice, they were hit hard.
Two of the five people on my side died, and the remaining three barely managed to save a life, but the other two people had already awakened.
He also took away his own Shennong grass.
How can this be reasonable?
Several people suddenly felt their eyes turning dark.
The other side.
Sun Xiao blinked and said nothing, but looked at Cheng Lin.
Cheng Lin pursed his lips and replied honestly: "We were tired from walking and resting in the valley, and then we accidentally found a spiritual plant with fruits on it. After eating it, we woke up in a daze.
As for this valley... we don't know, but suddenly there was a strong wind, and then we got scared and ran out."
Cheng Lin didn't dare to bet on his acting skills. He had no confidence that he could make up a temporary lie to deceive these two officials.
So he chose to tell the truth.
It's just that I used some techniques when describing it.
To omit the fact that the strong wind was caused by oneself is not a lie, it can only be regarded as a simplification.
Yang Congxian frowned and looked at Sun Xiao again. Sun Xiao was so frightened that he trembled and nodded quickly.
"Yes, that's true! We don't know what's wrong."
Yang Congxian hummed noncommittally, and seeing that their expressions did not seem to be fake, he said to Shi Jin: "Team Leader Shi, there are monsters here. You take them away first, and I'll go investigate."
"Okay! Please pay attention to your safety."
After saying that, Shi Jin pulled Zhao Ye and the others up, who were in despair, and left with Cheng Lin and the others.
Only Yang Congxian was left standing here.
He held the black blade tightly with a solemn expression and carefully walked into the valley.
However, nothing was found in the valley, only a scene destroyed by strong winds.
The breath gradually disappeared.
Yang Congxian could only walk out of the valley with worries.
When we came out, we happened to catch the last ray of sunset.
An orange-red light as bright as blood shines somewhere on the mountain wall at the mouth of the valley.
Yang Congxian really just glanced at it subconsciously, but his body suddenly froze!
"kindness?"
His eyes widened and he blinked hard to confirm that he was not mistaken.
Perhaps it was because the wind was so strong that it knocked down a tree on the cliff at the entrance of the valley and tore through a thick dark green vine.
Revealing a rock wall covered with vines.
On the rock wall, there were vaguely thick carvings.
Yang Congxian turned around, walked over, and suddenly swung a knife out of thin air.
Arousing the spiritual energy, a strong wind blew up, revealing more of the covered mountain walls.
At this time, Yang Congxian finally saw clearly through the afterglow of the setting sun.
There are two huge words carved on the mountain wall.
The words were deeply engraved, simple and heavy, but they seemed to have been very blurred after countless years of wind and rain.
But it's still vaguely identifiable.
Yang Congxian took a deep breath, with a look of shock on his face.
Those were actually two huge simplified Chinese characters:
