I took out the body of a crocodile monster from the storage bag and handed it to Wen Yan, who accepted it happily. The two of us were drinking and eating barbecue, discussing what to do next. After finally entering the wilderness, we couldn't go back so easily.
"Wen Yan, didn't you become the deacon of Wanjiang Pavilion? Is it okay to run out with me?" I asked.
"Brother Yeyu, when I returned to Wanjiange this morning, my uncle said that he had received a letter from home and wanted to send me back to Tianshui City. I had a big fight with him. When I went back to my residence to look for you, I found that you were no longer there. I I happened to find you when I rushed to the city gate, so I followed you into the Crocodile Swamp." Wen Yan said.
"I see. The wilderness is extremely dangerous. It's not necessarily a bad thing for your family to let you go back to Tianshui City." I comforted.
"Brother Ye Yu doesn't know. Among the younger generation, I am the only one lucky enough to be promoted to the realm of ghost general. They want to train me to be their successor. If I want to be the successor of the younger generation of the Wen family, I must stay in Tianshui City for the rest of my life. , but all I want is to improve my cultivation and become a strong person. I am not interested in fighting for power. In order to escape the family power struggle, my uncle went into the wilderness alone. This time, it is the same with Brother Yeyu. I can I don’t want my family’s struggle for power to affect my determination to become a strong person.” Wen Yan said solemnly.
"Ambitious." I praised.
"Brother Ye Yu, don't laugh at me. In fact, I have always had a question in my mind to ask Brother Ye Yu?" Wen Yan said.
"What questions?" I said.
"Last time Liu Hanshan invited Brother Ye Yu to go to Tianjian Sect with him, why didn't Brother Ye Yu go? If it were me, I would definitely agree without hesitation, because Tianjian Sect has abundant resources, and with Brother Ye Yu's talent, It’s easy to reach the realm of the Ghost King, so why bother leaving the near for the far and come to this dangerous wilderness?" Wen Yan asked.
"Liu Hanshan and I are friends, and I don't care if he is the master of the Heavenly Sword. If because of this relationship, I get a huge amount of resources for no reason, how can I repay him for this great kindness in the future? I We are not related to the Tianjian Sect, so there is no need to be involved in these karma. Besides, everyone has their own path of cultivation, and the Tianjian Sect may not be suitable for me." I said.
"Everyone has their own path of cultivation. Where is my path of cultivation?" Wen Yan murmured.
After we finished the barbecue, we meditated on the spot and began to practice. The tiger demon lay next to us and slept soundly, occasionally making a slight snoring sound. After a night of practice, I felt that the power of the netherworld in my body had improved a lot. After absorbing the essence and blood of three ghost generals and fourth-level monsters, I felt more deeply about the "Blue Dragon Jue" and my body's strength increased a lot. Especially when dealing with monsters, it has its own unique advantages. This is unlike any other skill. The law is incomparable. As long as it can injure the monster and leave wounds on it, it can immediately make it lose its combat effectiveness. This technique is simply a nightmare for monsters.
In the following days, we hunted monsters during the day and returned to the cave to practice at night. If there are more than five monster beasts, we will take a detour. If there are less than five monster beasts, we will take the method we discussed before. I will resist the attacks of other monster beasts, injure one of them with all my strength, and absorb the essence and blood. Kill them one by one. In one month, we hunted and killed nearly forty crocodile monsters in the ghost general realm. My cultivation level was raised to the fourth level of ghost general, and Wen Yan was also raised to the third level of ghost general.
One day a month later, we had just finished hunting five crocodile monsters in the ghost general realm. Suddenly a team of monster hunters appeared in front of us. This team consisted of three people, one of whom was in the sixth level of ghost general. Two ghosts will reach the fifth level.
"Brother, why are you blocking our way?" I said cautiously.
"Friends, don't be nervous. I think you two are quite capable and would like to invite you to join our team. What do you think?" said the young man at the sixth level of Ghost General.
"Brother, I'm really sorry. My brother and sister are used to being alone. I'm afraid I can't agree to your request." I said. At this moment, I was ready to fight in case the other party made a surprise move. I still remember Elder Wenhua said that sneak attacks by wild teams are not uncommon. My heart has risen to my throat. The strength of the other party is much higher than ours. If we join their team, I don’t know if they have other team members. If anything, it will be much more difficult to fight or escape than it is now. If we refuse them now, the best we can do is to fight two against three. Even if they can win, we will never let them have an easy time.
"Sir, why are you talking to them so much? Our cultivation is stronger than theirs, and we have more people than them. If they don't join, we'll beat them until they do. Why bother with their opinions," one of them said.
"How presumptuous, am I the one who forces things on others?" the young man said angrily.
"Since my friend has a grudge, I won't force it. My name is Ye Jianming, and these are Mingwu and Mingkong. I don't know what to call my friends?" Ye Jianming said.
"My name is Ye Yu, and this is my sister Wen Yan." I said.
"Brother Ye Yu, the green mountains remain unchanged and the green water flows forever. I hope to see you again by chance. Farewell!" Ye Jianming cupped his hands and flew away into the distance.
Seeing Ye Jianming and the others flying away, I said to Wen Yan: "Let's leave here first." I used all my power of the netherworld while flying, observing every move around me to prevent being followed by Ye Jianming and the others. We deliberately circled the Crocodile Swamp for three hours, and also deliberately stayed on a small island for half an hour. After seeing that the other party was not following us, we carefully flew back to the cave.
"Brother Ye Yu, it was so dangerous today. Fortunately they didn't take action, otherwise we would have been in trouble." Wen Yan said.
"Well, that Ye Jianming Ghost General is at the sixth level of cultivation. I tried to explore his true strength, but as soon as my power of the netherworld got close to him, it dissipated without a trace. He is by no means as simple as he seems on the surface. If you meet him again next time, be careful." I said.
In the following days, we met more and more teams in the Crocodile Swamp, but most of them were strong men at the fourth level of ghost generals. We tried our best to avoid conflicts with them, but those teams didn't seem to take us to heart. Instead, they hurriedly flew towards the north as if there was something urgent.
"Wen Yan, these people are all heading north in a hurry. Something special must have happened there. Why don't we go there and have a look? Maybe we can fish in troubled waters and get a good opportunity." I said. .
"Okay, brother Ye Yu, since there are so many people, I don't believe anyone would dare to take action against us in public," Wen Yan said.
We flew all the way north, flying for about four hours, and finally saw a group of people on a small island. At a rough look, there were about a hundred strong people at the intermediate level of ghost generals, and the three Ye Jianming we met before were also in it.
As soon as we arrived at the island, Ye Jianming sent a message to me: "Brother Ye Yu, are you willing to join my team?"
"Brother Ye, I don't know why you insist on asking us two brothers and sisters to join your team?" I asked doubtfully.
"To be honest, brother Ye Yu, the most numerous monsters in the Crocodile Swamp are monsters, and I have the honor to see you kill monsters. Your skills are very effective in dealing with monsters. With you joining us, we will definitely gain more. Big increase. If you are worried that we will be disadvantageous to you, I am willing to make an oath with you, promising not to bully others, and to advance and retreat together with you when encountering danger. We will share all the gains equally and never regret it. What do you think?" Ye Jianming said? .
I thought carefully about Ye Jianming's words. His words did make some sense. If he had other agendas, there really was nothing in me worth his plot. Wen Yan and I discussed for a while, and finally the two of us decided to join Ye Jianming's team. Then we and Ye Jianming each drew out the essence and blood and made an oath. Ye Jianming was very happy.
"With the two of you joining me, I don't have to hide anymore. In front of this island, there is a huge crocodile fortress, with hundreds of monsters in it. One of my purposes here is to save people." Ye Jianming said.
"Rescue people?" I asked doubtfully.
"To tell you the truth, I am a descendant of the Fiery Knife Sect. I came to the Wild Crocodile Swamp this time to save the disciples of my Fiery Knife Sect. Two months ago, twenty of my disciples from the Fiery Knife Sect came to the Wild Crocodile Swamp. Experience, but disappeared for no reason. I came here a month ago and searched almost the entire Crocodile Swamp, but I couldn't find any trace. Two days ago, a seriously injured person suddenly escaped back to Wanjian City and reported that There is news: There is a huge fortress in the Crocodile Swamp. There are hundreds of crocodile monsters inside, and hundreds of human monks have been robbed. Everyone gathered here after hearing this news, preparing to attack this monster. Fortress." Ye Jianming said.
"Fire Fire Sword Sect? Could it be the Fire Sword Sect second only to Tianjian Sect in the Southern Region?" Wen Yan asked.
"It's just a false name. I don't dare to compare with Tianjian Sect." Ye Jianming said.
