The moment he fell in the air, Liu Zheji knew that he was doomed this time. He didn't expect that he would die just after leaving Gu Meng'er. He was really unlucky!
Just when Liu Zheji was resigned to his fate, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from the grass nearby. He flew over and patted Liu Zheji. Liu Zheji borrowed the force from the air and turned over, landing on the ground unharmed.
"Who is it?"
After Liu Zheji landed, a black shadow fell in front of him. Only then did he see clearly that it was a person wearing black clothes. Judging from his figure, he should be a man. The shadow he just saw just enveloped him.
The black zhenqi around his body glowed faintly under the moonlight, but it was like a black hole that could swallow up all light. Liu Zheji clearly saw him standing there, but felt that there was no one there. This contrast made him
He was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.
The wolf king also fell down at this time. It was angry at the fact that it had been robbed of its prey for no reason, but when it looked at the man in front of it, it did not dare to take a step forward.
"I think it's not easy for you to practice, so retreat quickly." The man in black said calmly, his voice was slightly hoarse, and his tone was terrifyingly flat.
"Ouch~"
The wolf king did not act rashly, but the wolves around him couldn't help it. They rushed towards the man in black.
"A beast is a beast."
The man in black raised a hand and lightly snapped his fingers. All the wolves except the Wolf King suddenly paused, and their eyes showed a look of fear. Then, the entire wolf body
As if being squeezed by the air from all directions, first
It was bones, followed by flesh and fur, which were squeezed into a bloody mass, and then turned into a black ball. There was only a continuous soft sound of "bang, bang, bang," and all the wolves disappeared in this
In the world, only the Wolf King is left standing there alone.
The Wolf King was also shocked when he saw such a terrifying scene. He glanced at the man in black, turned around and ran in the direction he came from.
"Young Master, are you okay? The shadow guard arrived too late to save you." Seeing the Wolf King leaving, the man in black turned around and said calmly to Liu Zheji, who was in a daze.
The words were obviously respectful, but they were like reciting lines in his mouth, making people unable to feel the true feelings inside.
"here we go again!!"
Liu Zheji suddenly had one head and two heads. When he heard the word "young master", he knew what was going on. Liu Zheji couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Are you sent here by Uncle Fu? Or my mother? What's your name?" Liu Zheji asked with a frown.
"Reporting to Young Master, I am the shadow guard sent by General Gu to protect you. You can just call me Ying San." The man in black still said in that flat tone that made people vomit blood.
"General Gu?"
Liu Zheji thought of Gu Lianqi. The spy-like title of Shadow Guard was only found in the army. Although he wore a mask to cover half of his face, Liu Zheji could tell from his calm eyes that he
He didn't take himself seriously at all.
"Did my uncle send you here? Okay, I understand, uh, when are you leaving?" Liu Zheji touched his nose and said awkwardly.
"Reporting to you, young master, with your strength, the survival rate of cultivating in the Hengduan Mountains is almost non-existent, so I will follow you for the time being until I bring you back to the lady."
Ying San's words were as calm as a knife, but they were as sharp as a knife. Liu Zheji felt as if someone had stabbed him in the chest. What do you mean by having almost no chance of survival?
"No, you don't have to worry about it." Liu Zheji said with a blush on his face.
Ying San didn't seem to be prepared to listen to Liu Zheji's order. He just walked to the tree and sat down to rest against the big tree where Liu Zheji had just hidden.
Liu Zheji just felt funny in his heart. This Ying San had quite a personality, but he didn't want to get entangled with these people too much. After finally escaping from Gu Meng'er's clutches, he didn't want to go back again.
"Young Master, there are at least five monsters around here, and the wolf hasn't left yet. If you leave here rashly, you may be in danger."
Hearing Ying San's words, Liu Zheji, who was about to leave here, suddenly stopped. He turned back and glanced at Ying San. He still maintained a resting posture and didn't even open his eyes.
Seeing this situation, Liu Zheji had no choice but to run away. Now that his strength meets a monster, even the lowest one, he probably won't be able to escape. Although he hates the feeling of being protected, he is not a fool.
Just like that, Liu Zheji simply sat next to the tree. Fortunately, the tree was thick enough and Liu Zheji and Ying San were not very close. After adjusting to a comfortable position, Liu Zheji closed his eyes and started to sleep.
The next morning, Liu Zheji woke up from the pain. He had a long wound on his face yesterday. Fortunately, the wound was not deep. After a night, blood scab had condensed on the surface of the wound. He ran to the lake, and Liu Zheji
Liu Zheji looked at himself reflected in the lake. The wound was on the right side of Liu Zheji's face.
The lower part of the eyelids extended to a little above the chin, and it was just a little bit close to blinding him. He wondered if Ying San had deliberately not taken action at that time.
"I'm going to practice. If you want to follow me, please do so, but I still hope you won't follow me." Liu Zheji found Ying San who was still resting under the tree and said to him.
The other party was silent for a long time after hearing what he said. Just when Liu Zheji was wondering if he was asleep, a soft snore came from his lowered head.
"Sure enough, he still fell asleep!" Liu Zheji was going crazy in his heart.
"Forget it." Liu Zheji didn't care about Ying San. He simply found some wild fruits for breakfast, and then set off again.
A journey to find the iron tree.
After a morning of searching, Liu Zheji finally found a lonely iron tree in a forest. Iron trees are very easy to identify. They are taller and denser than other trees, and the tree body usually has a metallic luster.
You can see it from quite a distance.
"I can finally practice!" Liu Zheji's mood suddenly became more comfortable when he saw Tieshu, and even the shadow of his nearly dying yesterday dissipated a lot.
"I wonder if this iron tree secretes the same resin as the Tianmu iron tree." Liu Zheji hesitated for a moment and walked to the iron tree.
“Tie the mountain to the sea!”
Liu Zheji hit the iron wood with his head, making his scalp numb with stars in his eyes.
"What's going on?"
Liu Zheji rubbed the red area on his body and looked at Tiemu in surprise. He had clearly used Tieshan to suppress the sea just now, but why was this tree so much harder than the one in Gu's family? Could it be because of the strength he used?
Smaller?
Gritting his teeth, Liu Zheji once again used "Stick to the Mountain and Hold the Sea". His whole body hit the iron wood like an arrow from the string. This time he felt the countershock coming from the iron wood.
The force was so strong that he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. He knew that his internal organs must have been injured, but the result was still there. A thin layer of black oil appeared on the surface of the iron tree.
"black????"
Liu Zheji was confused. Could it be that the ingredients in the iron tree had changed? He boldly scraped a little with his fingers and applied it on the back of his hand. The oil was quickly absorbed into the skin, and nothing unusual happened.
Seeing that everything was normal, Liu Zheji became bolder. He wiped the blood from his lips and attacked Tiemu again.
