Shi Lei continued to carry out the wandering strategy. This time, he was obviously more patient than before.
The human-faced centipede showed weakness several times and tried to seduce Shi Lei to attack, but Shi Lei held back.
Finally, half an hour later, when Shi Lei tried several times and found that the human-faced centipede really had no power, he roared and cut the centipede in half with a knife.
But a monster is a monster after all. Even if it is cut in half, it still has strong vitality. Fortunately, Shi Lei seized this opportunity and started attacking crazily again.
Finally, a popping sound was heard, and under Shi Lei's crazy chopping, the two halves of the centipede were completely turned into pulp.
"call…"
After spitting it out in one breath, Shi Lei's eyes showed joy.
This was the first time he had killed such a high-level monster alone, so naturally he felt a sense of accomplishment.
"good."
Zhao Zhen smiled and nodded. He knew that Shi Lei was still very smart. Although his reactions were sometimes a little slow, he would master the tricks immediately with a little guidance.
"Hey, thank you so much, Senior Brother Zhao. If Senior Brother Zhao hadn't taken action just now, I might have been seriously injured."
Shi Lei smiled.
"Thank you for what? There is no need to be polite between friends."
Zhao Zhen smiled and shook his head, "Okay, now you take a rest and digest the battle experience just now, and leave the matter of taking the demon core to me and Junior Sister Yun."
"good."
Shi Lei immediately found an open space to sit cross-legged, while Zhao Zhen and Yun Duo stepped forward, and soon Zhao Zhen took out a green demon core.
"This is a high-quality human-level sixth-level demon core!"
Looking at the light of the demon core in Zhao Zhen's hand, Yun Duo looked surprised, "This means that this human-faced centipede is about to break through to the seventh level of human level. This kind of demon core is worth half of a seventh level human level demon core." Of value.”
"Well, just keep it."
Zhao Zhen nodded and threw the demon core to Yun Duo. Yun Duo quickly caught it and put it into his sleeve.
But at this moment, a figure suddenly rushed from a distance. The moment he rushed, he grabbed the demon core with his palm and grabbed it directly!
Yun Duo was stunned. It wasn't that she was timid, but that this man was too fast and had completely exceeded her reaction!
"snort!"
At the critical moment, Zhao Zhen snorted coldly, drew out the long sword at his waist, and slashed the man down with one strike!
This sword is extremely swift!
If the body technique is as fast as the wind, then Zhao Zhen's sword is like lightning chasing in the clouds!
"Good swordsmanship!"
The man shouted low, but did not panic at all. The hand that was originally grabbing the demon core suddenly retracted, and at the same time, the other hand shook towards Shi Lei who was sitting cross-legged!
Whoosh whoosh!
Three sounds of piercing the air were heard, and three small flying knives flew out of the man's hand, heading straight towards Shi Lei!
"Hidden weapon! What a quick technique!"
Narrowing his eyes, Zhao Zhen was not attacking the man. Instead, he swung his sword and struck at the three flying knives!
A clanging sound came out, and the three flying knives were cut down by Zhao Zhen's sword light in the middle, but the man chuckled, flashed his body again, grabbed the demon core in Yun Duo's hand, and took it away.
Only then did Yun Duo react, and he drew his sword and struck, but the man casually stepped aside and easily dodged the sword and jumped onto a big tree.
"Which one are you?"
Zhao Zhen didn't take any action, just looked at the other party with squinted eyes.
Shi Lei stood up even more violently and shouted angrily, "That demon core belongs to us! Why did you steal our demon core!"
"Haha, this makes no sense. The monsters in Monster Mountain have always been ownerless. Since they are ownerless, then whoever has the ability to get them belongs to them. How come they become yours?"
The man said with a smile, and Zhao Zhen and others saw his appearance clearly. He was a young man wearing a green suit, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a delicate face and a faint smile. A relaxed and comfortable look.
"Really! What you're saying is that whoever has the ability has the final say?"
Shi Lei said coldly, the heavy inner energy in his body started to work, "Then let's compare who has the ability?"
"Haha, your spiritual roots must be earth-attribute spiritual roots. Earth-attribute spiritual roots are thick and powerful, but they are not flexible enough. Your attacks cannot catch up with mine."
The young man smiled and said, "Unless you and I go to the Blood Valley in the Gate to duel, you will have a chance to touch me twice in that venue, but other than that, you have no chance."
"Blood Valley? That's the place where people with sworn enemies in the sect fight to the death. Just because of a piece of demon core, you want to fight me to the death?"
Shi Lei's eyes flashed and he said coldly.
"Haha, so what? Life is inherently boring, so why bother looking for excitement?"
The young man laughed loudly and bumped the demon core with his palm, "Of course, if you don't want to accept it, that's up to you, but this demon core is mine."
call!
As the words came out, the young man's figure flashed and he rushed into the distance.
"But if you want to come, I will wait for you in Blood Valley."
Another word came from the distance, and the young man disappeared completely.
"So fast!"
Looking at this scene, Yun Duo said solemnly.
"It is indeed very fast." Zhao Zhen also nodded, "Wind attribute spiritual roots, eighth level warrior realm, and specializes in body skills and hidden weapons. Shi Lei, you are no match for him."
"Yeah, I know that."
Shi Lei nodded with a serious expression, "But what I don't understand is why he targeted us and even directly said to go to Blood Valley."
"It should be Lin Zhen's arrangement."
Zhao Zhen thought for a while and said.
"What!"
The faces of the two people changed, but Zhao Zhen said calmly, "We are both disciples in the sect, how can we snatch each other's demon cores at will? Even if there is no sect rule that stipulates that disciples are not allowed to snatch demon cores from each other, we are all from the same sect. , who would be willing to offend someone easily?"
"Not to mention that this person is an eighth-level samurai. Even if he wants to rob, he should grab some high-level ones. But he just robbed our sixth-level demon core, and even said that he would go to the Blood Valley if he refused. Then there must be someone behind this, and The only one who is related to us and has such influence is Lin Zhen."
After hearing Zhao Zhen's analysis, both Shi Lei and Yun Duo turned pale.
"Of course, you don't need to panic."
After taking a look at the two of them, Zhao Zhen said again, "As before, even if Lin Zhen suspects that we killed his son, he has no evidence. If he had evidence, he wouldn't bother so much. He would just lead someone to kill him." We, so our situation is not too bad.”
As soon as these words came out, the pale faces of the two men recovered a little. Shi Lei said at this time, "Then what should we do next? Ignore that guy's provocation?"
"Go to Blood Valley."
After a moment of silence, Zhao Zhen suddenly said something.
"Why...why?" Shi Lei was stunned.
Yun Duo's eyes flickered, and after a moment he said, "Senior Brother Zhao's decision is right."
Shi Lei was stunned again and looked at Yun Duo.
"Shi Lei, since Lin Zhen has doubted us, it will undoubtedly be more dangerous for us to continue to wander here. This time he only asked people to rob the demon core. What if the disciples of the sect attack us next time? Can we withstand it?"
Yun Duo said solemnly, "So we can't stay here for long, and we don't even think about it when we go back. Lin Zhen can arrange experts to harass us here, and we can't even think about living in peace when we get inside. There must be people looking for trouble every day, so in order to avoid this If something like this happens, the only way is to go to Blood Valley and take the initiative to take Lin Zhen’s move.”
Zhao Zhen nodded, "That's what I mean, hit him with one punch to avoid hundreds of punches."
"I see." Shi Lei reacted and nodded seriously, "Since we can only do this, let's go to Blood Valley."
"Well, when you get there, just leave everything to me."
Zhao Zhen nodded, and the next moment the three of them turned around and returned.
Blood Valley is located in a gap in the middle of Qingyun Peak.
It is said to be a valley, but when you really look down from the top, it looks more like an abyss.
On both sides of the valley, there are countless stands built with strange rocks.
Obviously, this is for the convenience of the disciples in the sect.
But at this moment, these stands are already covered with dust.
After all, Blood Valley is the only place where fellow sects of Qingyun Sect fight to the death. Unless they have deep hatred, no one would come here.
But today, there were many figures in those dusty stands.
Because there are people coming from both sides of the center of the Blood Valley.
On both sides, there is one person on one side and three people on the other.
All the disciples knew that person, Qingyun Sect Feng Jie, with wind attribute spiritual roots, eighth level warrior realm, and was very prestigious in the sect.
None of the other three disciples knew each other, but after communicating, they learned that these three people were Zhao Zhen, Shi Lei, and Yun Duo.
"What do you mean? Do these three people have a grudge against Feng Jie?"
"Nonsense, if you come here to fight to the death, what is that if you don't have a grudge?"
The disciples began to discuss, but many people were not optimistic about Zhao Zhen and the others.
After all, Feng Jie is a talented master with great reputation, but Zhao Zhen has no reputation, and his level is even lower than Feng Jie. Naturally, they all think that Zhao Zhen is looking for death.
"Senior brother..."
"No need to say it, leave it to me."
Just when Shi Lei wanted to speak, Zhao Zhen waved his hand.
Shi Lei and Yun Duo's expressions changed, but Zhao Zhen continued, "There is no need to persuade me. After all, I am the one who killed the person, so I will naturally resolve this matter."
Shi Lei immediately said anxiously, "But Senior Brother Zhao is the one who killed for us, so how can we let Senior Brother Zhao face him alone!"
Zhao Zhen felt warm in his heart, but on his face he said calmly, "Because I am the only one who has the strength to face it, and you don't."
As soon as these words came out, Shi Lei's expression froze.
Yun Duo was speechless at the side.
"Without strength, you have nothing, not even the qualifications to help your friends."
Zhao Zhen looked at the two of them and said, "So if you really want to help me, then practice harder in the future. This way, my help will not be in vain."
After saying that, Zhao Zhen moved his body and jumped directly to the center of the valley.
Shi Lei and Yun Duo clenched their fists, but did not stop him.
They knew that what Zhao Zhen said was right.
Without strength, there is nothing.
Not even qualified to help friends.
In this case, they can only endure it.
Endure the guilt in your heart, and then turn the guilt into motivation for cultivation.
This is the only thing they can do.
call!
When Zhao Zhen stood in the middle of the canyon, a sound of wind sounded.
Feng Jie's figure flashed and he reached the center of the valley.
