"Sneeze——" Ning Xia couldn't cover her mouth and nose and sneezed indecently, attracting the attention of the people next to her.
"I don't know who is talking about me. They have been talking about me twice since just now. Who is it? They are thinking about me so much." She complained jokingly.
"Caught a cold? You must pay attention to your health and don't use your strength to take advantage of the monk's illness. Look at your young age, you have been through this many times, and you can count the number of serious injuries. How can a mortal body really be like this? Can it be as strong as iron?" Lin Ping couldn't help but scolded.
...Well, probably all the elders in the world are pretty much the same. However, she couldn't refute it at all, so it was safer to just accept the scolding.
Seeing that Ning Xia was serious about admitting her mistake, Lin Pingzhen was satisfied and let her go.
"I just received a message from Senior Brother Zhencheng, saying that the landing point was wrong and encountered a wave of small beasts. They are finishing the work now and are on their way here." Lin Pingzhen seemed to have glanced at the communication magic weapon and then said.
Ningxia was distracted and glanced at the communication instrument, and found that unexpectedly, the text messages she sent were not answered.
It's normal for Daojun Yuanheng. This big boss is busy with things, and he usually sits in charge of the sect during this period, helping the sect through this somewhat dangerous transition period. It was normal for the other party not to reply. She just explained the situation to the elder out of habit.
However, it was a bit strange that Jin Lin and He Haigong didn't reply either. Of course, she didn't think that she was so great that people should pay attention to her situation first, but because of the temperament of these two people, she knew that if she went to the Panyuan Mountains, she would be scolded.
Ningxia felt uneasy in her heart, but she didn't know why she was so anxious. It wasn't that she was waiting for Jin Lin and the others to scold her, but... she was eager to get some other news from the outside world to calm her inner chaos.
It's a pity that somehow today, the two of them made an appointment, which seemed very stable, and Ningxia did not receive any reply.
"Alas..." Ning Xia herself also noticed that she seemed a little heavy and abnormal along the way.
As time passed little by little, Lin Pingzhen was allowed to come to search for people, and as he got closer to the Panyuan Mountains, his restless heart calmed down.
Seeing that Ningxia was getting a little depressed, he asked curiously: "How come you were still fine just now, looking like you were whining and sighing?"
"I don't know. I always felt that something wasn't right since I got to this forest. My breath was mixed, and I felt like I was being stretched. It just didn't feel right, and it was very uncomfortable. Anyway, I... don't know how to put it." Ning Xia frowned, as if she suddenly didn't know how to describe it.
Lin Pingzhen had some thoughts about Ningxia's words. After looking around, he actually agreed: "This is near the inner perimeter of the Panyuan Mountains. Although it is still on the outer perimeter, you can clearly feel that the aura magnetic field is different. Far away, It is thicker than where we just landed, but the concentration is far less than that of the inner circle. The monsters in the inner circle will not come, but it is a good natural living area for the attached little monsters."
"It should be those little demon spirits or small monsters that are peeking at you. I don't feel any threatening large monsters are nearby for the time being. We just need to be careful. You don't have to worry too much." Lin Pingzhen looked around. A few people with obvious auras wandered around for a moment, their eyes flickered, and then their gaze softened, soothing the uneasy people next to them.
Ningxia naturally trusted Lin Pingzhen. If even Lin Pingzhen couldn't trust her, there weren't many people she could trust.
Moreover, in terms of soul power, Ningxia is actually not inferior to Lin Pingzhen, and is even stronger than Lin Pingzhen in terms of sustainability. Although her soul is currently scattered and in a "semi-sealed" state, if she wants to concentrate it, it is still possible in terms of sensitivity.
She didn't feel the aura of the deadly high-level monsters around her, and she could also feel that there were many weak things peeping at them. At one time, like Lin Pingzhen, she thought that her uneasiness came from the unscrupulous little creatures peeping around her. After all, monks' spiritual consciousness was sensitive, and small peeks would make people more uncomfortable.
But along the way, as Ningxia separated and stripped away these small influences from her surroundings, the sense of crisis in her heart remained undiminished, and instead became more solemn.
Oh my God, it can't be so unlucky... Ningxia subconsciously clenched the hilt of her sword in order to gain a sense of security.
But she didn't want to make Lin Ping really worried, so she simply shut up and didn't create a tense atmosphere. To avoid guessing wrong and scaring others for no reason.
Lin Pingzhen was right. This large forest was originally the territory of the demon clan. The intrusion of the two humans would definitely attract people's attention.
But soon they discovered that this eye-catching thing was not an ordinary eye-catching thing... After walking for a while, Ningxia finally couldn't help but ask: "Brother, do you think this place looks familiar?"
Lin Pingzhen, who was walking slower and slower unconsciously, stopped completely as Ning Xia spoke: "More than just it looks familiar, we just... haven't left this place."
Isn't it? When she passed by this place for the second time, she felt something. However, because the forest was very large and there were many trees that looked similar in appearance, Ningxia was not sure whether she had seen it wrong.
But this time she came around here for the third time, she couldn't help but feel it! Is this a maze? Why do you seem to be walking around near the junction between the inner and outer areas?
Lin Pingzhen was probably aware of it, so he seemed to have changed his route a few times just now, as if he was trying to get out of this strange circle. Unfortunately, he failed, and finally came back.
Lin Pingzhen looked around, took a deep breath, and then said helplessly to the girl next to him: "Fufeng, you really guessed it... the situation doesn't seem to be good."
Wow, has her bad luck escalated to this point? She had just landed not long ago, and something happened immediately. This was not the way to play with her!
No, calm down, it may be just a false alarm, but you can't find a way out for the time being. This is the periphery, and she still doesn't feel the threat of the approaching high-level monsters. The most threatening thing in the surrounding area is only a slightly larger foundation-building monster, which is not considered a real danger.
And...she hasn't even met Wang Jingxuan, so she can't just act in a single scene!
Ning Xia comforted herself, trying to stay rational and clear, and began to search her mind, trying to find some useful confidence.
But her inner defense mechanism was quickly broken by a new piece of news.
Lin Pingzhen told her that it seemed that she could not contact the outside world.
Ningxia:? !
What's going on? Why did the progress bar suddenly move to a place where she couldn't understand it at all? Can anyone tell her what happened? !
