Han Jiulin was quite speechless, feeling that he had overestimated the other party.
He originally thought Qin Surong was a smart woman, but now it seems that she is just an innocent girl who loves to dream.
In order to make Qin Surong fully understand that she was not the most infatuated person in the world, Han Jiulin patiently told all the stories about himself and Yu Xuanyan.
After hearing this, Qin Surong was extremely disappointed, her eyebrows furrowed and she said: "So, you are not the most infatuated person in the world at all?
Is the poignant love story between you and Yu Xuanyan all fabricated by others?"
Han Jiulin nodded and said: "You understand now. In fact, I am just a common person, not a crazy person. If a woman takes the initiative to seduce me and throw herself into my arms, I will definitely be unable to resist and will bite her."
Qin Surong was taken aback, quickly moved away, distanced herself, and became wary of Han Jiulin.
Han Jiulin smiled with satisfaction and continued practicing.
After practicing for nearly two days, Han Jiulin finally returned to his prime.
In the past two days, Qin Surong had been sitting cross-legged not far from Han Jiulin, practicing and recuperating while protecting Han Jiulin. When she was hungry, she would go out to hunt spiritual beasts and come back to roast them and share them with Han Jiulin.
"I didn't expect that you actually meant what you said."
Han Jiulin returned to his full strength, moving his muscles and bones while smiling.
Qin Surong stood upright and straightened her slightly raised chest when she heard this. Her temperament was indescribably noble and lovely, and she said: "Since I said I will protect you until your injury is healed, I will naturally do what I say.
You are not the only one who sticks to your word."
Han Jiulin smiled slightly and asked, "My injury has healed now. Do you plan to leave or stay?"
Qin Surong hesitated for a moment and said, "I want to see what kind of treasures there are in the golden-horned devil's nest?"
This woman is really curious!
Han Jiulin shook his head, told Qin Surong to step back, and then took out the golden-horned devil's nest from the storage ring.
The diameter of the nest is eighteen meters, and it is made of poisonous trees and poisonous weeds. The moment the nest was taken out, a strong poison also filled the air.
Standing ten feet away, Qin Surong could feel the terrifying corrosive power of the poisonous mist. She hurriedly wrapped her body with the body-protecting spirit to see if she could resist the poisonous attack.
In the lair, there was a dazzling light, large pieces of spiritual stone, gold, and seven red fire beads.
Seven flame wooden beads!
Seeing the large amount of treasures in the lair and the seven extremely precious flame wood beads, Qin Surong immediately felt regretful.
She had worked so hard to get a flame wooden bead before, and was robbed by other cultivators, but now, there are seven golden-horned devil beads in the nest, which is very important to any young cultivator who takes part in the assessment.
They are all treasures that cannot be ignored.
She should have had a share of these treasures. If she had known two days ago, she would not have given up so many treasures out of curiosity!
But there is no regret medicine in this world.
Han Jiulin stretched out his hand and took one of the flame wooden beads in his hand. The temperature was extremely high, as if he was holding a red-hot iron bead.
At the same time, a mysterious aura spread into Han Jiulin's mind, condensing into a very strange picture.
"boom!"
In the picture, there is a huge blood-red mountain peak, towering into the clouds, and a majestic waterfall flying down from the gray clouds.
And right at the top of the waterfall, you can vaguely see a dilapidated palace! The palace is just a glimpse, but it already makes people feel thrilling and their hearts are shaking.
The palace has an unknown age, but under its dilapidated appearance, it exudes a majestic and majestic aura, like a demon palace where an ancient demon god once lived.
Han Jiulin was sweating profusely. He suddenly opened his eyes and looked blankly at the flame wooden beads in his hands. Then he raised his head again and looked into the depths of the fire rock forest.
Han Jiulin had a mysterious feeling in his heart. He always felt that the scene he saw in his mind was deep in the fire rock forest.
Perhaps, the picture in my mind is a real place.
Blood-red mountains, waterfalls pouring down from the sky, dilapidated palaces...
The collection of these pictures seemed to have aroused all the curiosity in Han Jiulin's heart, and he was eager to take risks and find the places in the pictures.
"You sensed it too, didn't you?"
Qin Surong asked.
Han Jiulin asked: "Did you see it too?"
Qin Surong nodded and said: "The flame wooden beads are condensed from the goblin energy in the fire rock forest.
If my guess is correct, all cultivators who have obtained the flame wood beads can see the place deep in the fire rock forest.
These are the flame wooden beads guiding us."
Han Jiulin pondered for a moment and said: "Guangming Academy asked us to search for flame wooden beads in the fire rock forest as part of the assessment.
And the assessor who gets the Flame Wood Bead can see the place deep in the Fire Rock Forest.
Could it be that that place is also a test for us?
Or is it an opportunity?"
"That's what I guessed too."
Qin Surong said: "Any young cultivator who obtains the Flame Wood Bead will definitely head towards that blood-red mountain. There might really be some kind of opportunity there."
The two discussed it and decided to continue walking together and go to the depths of the fire rock forest together.
Their cultivation levels have all reached the realm of magical power, and they are considered strong among the examiners. They travel together and can take care of each other.
The deeper you go into the fire rock forest, the more dangerous it becomes. There are almost no first-grade spiritual beasts, and the lowest are second-grade spiritual beasts.
"If a cultivator from the Ninth Level of Arrogance breaks in here, he will have a narrow escape from death."
Han Jiulin and Qin Surong walked more than a hundred miles into the depths of the Fire Rock Forest, and the environment became even more dangerous.
The flames on the ground have also become very strong, and the trees growing here are like ironwood watered by molten iron. Some jungles are even filled with miasma and poisonous mist, and ordinary cultivators are not allowed to break in at all.
The miasma was colorful, and the forest was full of corpses that had been corroded into black.
"This is a seven-color poisonous miasma, which is considered an extremely powerful miasma. If a cultivator below the third-level supernatural power level breaks in forcefully, it will basically be a dead end."
Han Jiulin has read a lot of books and knows something about poison barriers.
The colorful poison barrier posed no threat to Han Jiulin, and it was not difficult to break in. However, Han Jiulin did not break in rashly.
Han Jiulin and Qin Surong carefully observed the periphery of the miasma forest and found that there were many powerful poisonous spiritual beasts living in the miasma forest.
There was a big snake with two wings on its back, a poisonous scorpion more than ten meters long, and even an adult golden-horned devil crawling on the top of a mountain in the miasma forest!
This is a restricted area of life. Even if you can be immune to all poisons, you may not be able to break through!
