Holding a white frost sword in his hand, with his black hair fluttering, Chen Xinzhu stood upright on a boulder.
Looking back from the distant sky, Chen Xinzhu looked at the slowly dissipating spiritual energy vortex dozens of meters away.
"It's almost time."
Now, it has been two days since he killed the rat demon.
On the ground, Senior Brother Xu slowly opened his eyes, and a sharp flash of light flashed away.
At the first glance, Senior Brother Xu immediately looked at the rat demon.
Seeing the huge corpse of the rat demon lying on the ground, he was stunned for a moment.
His eyes were distracted and he glanced around, and he happened to catch a glimpse of Chen Xinzhu standing on the boulder.
The next moment, Senior Brother Xu's eyes suddenly focused and he looked at Chen Xinzhu blankly without saying a word.
He looked at Chen Xinzhu, and Chen Xinzhu was also looking at him.
At this moment, Chen Xinzhu could clearly sense Senior Brother Xu's aura, and he had successfully broken through to the innate realm.
Chen Xinzhu didn't say anything, just looked at Senior Brother Xu.
He was a little curious, what would Senior Brother Xu say?
Time passed slowly, and a quarter of an hour passed without anyone speaking.
"Tweet! Tweet!"
On the treetops, birds played happily, and another quarter of an hour passed.
Seeing that Senior Brother Xu seemed to be completely unprepared to speak, Chen Xinzhu sighed softly.
"Condolences."
After finishing his words, Chen Xinzhu jumped off the boulder and walked towards the small valley.
Although he has been guarding Senior Brother Xu here for the past two days, Chen Xinzhu still sensed something unusual in the small valley.
There seems to be some subtle differences in the aura of heaven and earth.
After walking a few steps, Chen Xinzhu frowned slightly.
Because Senior Brother Xu followed him silently.
But soon, Chen Xinzhu's brows relaxed.
There are also fellow disciples of Senior Brother Xu in the small valley, so it is natural for him to go to the small valley.
Without saying anything, the two walked into the small valley one after the other.
…
Looking at the collapsed cliff in front of him, and at the seven young men and women who died tragically in different places, Chen Xinzhu remained silent.
Plop!
Chen Xinzhu glanced over and saw Senior Brother Xu kneeling on the ground, staring blankly at the corpse of his fellow disciple with tears streaming down his face.
"Why."
Chen Xinzhu sighed inwardly, turned around and walked towards a corner of the small valley.
After experiencing something like this, it's better to leave him alone.
However, the next moment, Chen Xinzhu frowned again.
Without turning around, Chen Xinzhu asked in a calm tone: "If you don't do what you should do, why are you following me?"
There was a gentle breeze, but Senior Brother Xu did not reply.
His brows were raised slightly, and Chen Xinzhu's tone was slightly cold.
"Do you resent me? Blame me for not coming earlier? Blame me for not saving your fellow disciples?"
It wasn't Chen Xinzhu's random imagination, it was actually Senior Brother Xu's behavior that was very unusual.
The corpse of his sect member was still cold, so instead of taking care of his sect's funeral, he followed him behind him.
This abnormal behavior, combined with the real experience of his previous life, made Chen Xinzhu subconsciously make this bloody guess.
Although this conjecture is ridiculous and unreasonable.
But reality makes no sense at all.
He has seen too many bloody incidents that are unreasonable and illogical.
The leaves were rustling and the wind was getting stronger.
Senior Brother Xu still didn't speak.
The black hair was slowly blowing in the breeze, and the chill in Chen Xinzhu's eyes became more and more intense. Just when he was about to say it one last time...
Plop!
"Um??"
Chen Xinzhu was stunned and turned around instantly, only to see that Senior Brother Xu had fallen to the ground.
It seems like he fainted?
"Why."
After sweeping his mental power several times, Chen Xinzhu sighed softly again.
With his powerful perception, he can naturally detect whether a person is unconscious.
Senior Brother Xu really fainted.
Without thinking much, Chen Xinzhu walked towards Senior Brother Xu who was lying on the ground.
Picking up Senior Brother Xu's sword, Chen Xinzhu held the two swords in his left hand. Sword energy emerged from his right hand. With only one hand, Chen Xinzhu held Senior Brother Xu flat in front of his chest.
According to common sense, one hand cannot lift a person flatly.
But because of the extra sword energy and true energy, this kind of thing can be done easily.
After walking a few steps, Chen Xinzhu placed Senior Brother Xu on a clean grassland and put the sword in his hand.
"I hope you have calmed down when you wake up again."
After muttering softly to Senior Brother Xu, Chen Xinzhu turned and walked towards the bodies of the others.
Not long after, Chen Xinzhu laid the seven corpses flatly on the grass not far from Senior Brother Xu.
An hour later, Senior Brother Xu's brows twitched, as if he was about to wake up.
Seeing this, Chen Xinzhu turned and left.
…
After a while, in a corner of the small valley, Chen Xinzhu walked through a dense bush and came to a five-meter-high cave.
"It seems like this is it."
The powerful soul power allowed Chen Xinzhu to discover the subtle differences in the concentration of spiritual energy. Following this difference, he successfully found the cave.
Mentally scanning the entrance of the cave and finding no danger, Chen Xinzhu quickly made a simple torch and walked in.
Bah, bah, bah.
The torch burned gently, and Chen Xinzhu remained silent.
A few minutes later.
"Squeak! Squeak!"
Chen Xinzhu's ears moved slightly, and he vaguely heard the sound of mice coming from more than ten miles away in the cave.
"I didn't expect it to be so far away."
If the rat demon's lair is more than ten miles away, then the cave he entered should be just one of the entrances to the rat's nest.
If this is really the case, Senior Brother Xu and the others are really very unlucky.
Without thinking much, Chen Xinzhu quickened his pace and walked quickly towards the depths of the cave.
On the way, although he encountered many forks in the road, Chen Xinzhu still successfully approached the rat nest with the help of the occasional rat noise.
"Sure enough, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has become richer."
At this moment, Chen Xinzhu also became excited.
Although no danger was sensed, since there was a rat's cry, there must be a rat demon ahead.
There is nothing wrong with being more vigilant.
After walking for a few more minutes, Chen Xinzhu extinguished the torch in an instant.
The white light can already be seen in the distance.
The Bing Xin Jue was running all the time, and Chen Xinzhu's aura was completely hidden. Not long after, he walked to the edge of the white light.
Leaning against the wall, Chen Xinzhu glanced sideways.
"This is……"
What caught Chen Xinzhu's eyes was a small basin with a radius of several hundred meters.
The basin is full of green, with green grass several inches high covering the entire basin. It looks like the earth is wearing a green dress.
In the center of the basin, where the sunlight is most concentrated, a fruit tree nearly ten meters high has lush leaves and abundant fruits.
Chen Xinzhu stared at the fruit tree with unblinking eyes, his mind shaken.
"...Third-level spiritual tree!"
There is a light mist surrounding the fruit trees, which is a sign that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has become so thick that it is almost liquefied.
"One, two, three...seven, seven in total, seven third-level spiritual fruits!"
At this moment, even though Chen Xinzhu had practiced Bing Xin Jue, it was difficult to suppress the excitement in his heart.
