Ten miles away from Lookout City,
At this time, Qi Linfeng, Fei Hong and others had all safely returned to the ancient city in front of them, and there was also a small figure among the group, and that was Xiao Ling'er. In fact, just eight years ago, When Yan Taibao, Yufeng Shenzong and others, Qi Linfeng, Long Yuyun and others were in a stalemate over the ownership of little Ling'er, it was natural that Fei Hong came forward to announce the end, saying, "I will take over the Yuling Academy." , if you have any objections, let Emperor Feng come to me in person." He ended everyone's discussion domineeringly,
Although the Eight Flame Taibao and the others were reluctant, after all, Xiao Ling'er's innate Taoism was an inestimable talent in the future, but they had no choice but to think that even the Phoenix Emperor of the Yufeng Divine Sect would not dare to offend Fei Hong at will. After Lin, he stood alone and served as the dean of Yuling Academy, the highest and most important school in the spiritual continent, which is enough to show that Fei Hong's strength is as good as Fei Lin's.
Therefore, Little Ling'er dared to be by Qi Linfeng's side as she wished. On the way back from Yufeng Shenzong to Watching City, although she had experienced too much, she was still the girl with pigtails who dared not be lively, and she became everyone's happiness. As a result, even Fei Hong, who had always been serious about his smile, smiled for the first time due to her teasing several times. Even if it was just a flash, it surprised the two elders of the college who were traveling with him.
When Long Yuyun and others returned to the Watch City, they saw a group of soldiers who almost committed suicide on the spot. They all looked ashamed and knelt on the ground. This scene filled their hearts as soldiers of the Dragon Emperor family. Their reluctance and shame were also filled with their deep apologies to Long Yuyun. Even Long Yuyun himself said that they were not at fault, but their sense of mission as soldiers still made it difficult for them to forget the heavy self-blame for their previous failure to perform their duties.
Although the matter has come to an end, what Qi Linfeng and the others have not yet realized is that something even more unexpected will happen to them later.
"Brother, it's so lively here, so fun, and there are so many delicious food..." For Xiao Ling'er, who has been living in a small mountain village in the mountains, the Watchtower City, the border town of the Dragon Emperor Family, is in her eyes. Zhili is already very lively and prosperous. Whether it is the various goods for sale or the various delicacies on the street, they all seem so novel in the eyes of little Ling'er.
"Little Ling'er, don't run around too much. Although this place is not too big, there are a lot of people. If you run too far, you won't be able to find anyone." After hearing this, Xiao Ling'er also retracted obediently. Beside Lin Feng, the curious little head could not help but stretch its neck, "Brother, why don't Sister Long come out with us? Sister Long obviously seems to want it too."
Qi Linfeng's face couldn't help but change slightly. In fact, when Xiao Ling'er took him to find Long Yuyun, he had seen Long Yuyun's evasive eyes and embarrassed expression, and he understood that before The incident made the relationship between the two seem a bit awkward, "Well... maybe your sister Long just doesn't like crowded places..." After saying this, even Qi Linfeng himself didn't believe it, so he just lied to Xiao Xiao. Ling'er.
After wandering around for a day, Xiao Ling'er had a lot of fun. "Oh my old arms and legs. The kid is so energetic. He doesn't feel tired after playing all day..." The two of them ordered something in the tavern. The food was delicious, and Xiao Ling'er also enjoyed it. However, at the table next to Qi Linfeng, there was a vague conversation that interested him.
"Hey, how are you preparing?"
"Don't worry, this time it's a spirit beast of the legendary Yalong bloodline, and even a legendary beast. How could we dare not prepare carefully?"
"Well, that's good, but I think you still have to be careful. After all, it is a bounty mission jointly issued by the Piaomiao Tower and the Adventurers Association. It is said that the strength of the mythical beast is strange and unpredictable, and its actions are even more elusive. Several groups of people not only failed, but even lost their lives.”
"But brother, what exactly is the so-called mythical beast? Why didn't even the experts from Piaomiao Tower capture it?"
"I don't know the specifics. I just heard from my friend in the Adventure Association that it is of sub-dragon blood. It doesn't seem to be an ordinary dragon-blooded spiritual beast. It seems to be extremely likely to be a left-behind descendant of the ancient dragon clan."
"What! The last descendant of the ancient dragon clan? If it is true, isn't it the only true dragon seed left on the mainland, apart from the ancestral dragons that our Dragon Emperor family has worshiped for generations?"
"Hey, it can't be said that it is a real dragon. At least based on the information currently available to all parties, it is not enough to prove that it is the seed of a real dragon. In short, this time, our brothers will do a big job. If it is really a dragon If we can control it, then our status will skyrocket in the mainland!"
"Oh~~ Big brother is wise, but... can the five of us catch that spiritual beast?"
"Brother, I have been hunting for decades and I have never failed. Don't worry, as long as my secret spiritual formation is here, the chances are still very good."
………
Listening to the conversation next door, Qi Linfeng was immediately interested, "Hey, old guy, is the descendant of the dragon clan they said really possible?"
In the ancient building, Ying Long responded with a very disdainful tone: "It is possible, although in that war ten thousand years ago, the entire dragon clan was almost sacrificed by the old witch to enhance his supreme power. The Divine Realm won the final victory, but we can’t rule out that there were still one or two little ones among the Dragon Clan who were spared at that time.”
"Oh, then, the spiritual beast mentioned next door might actually be the body of a real dragon?" Qi Linfeng was curious and excited when he thought about it.
"Why are you so excited? As for a real dragon, don't you have a real dragon by your side now?"
"Haha, are you talking about insomnia, you old guy..."
"It's just me. I'm the God of War of the Dragon Clan. I can't really be a dragon anymore. What kind of bullshit spiritual beast do you still need to care about?"
Qi Linfeng rolled his eyes, regardless of whether he was warm or cold, "Haha, for a dishonest dragon like you, I think it's better to be a little boy."
"Hey, I said you old guy..."
After Qi Linfeng told the little Ling'er not to run around, he quickly walked to the private room next door. He saw five tall, short, fat and thin men of different shapes sitting around the dining table. Judging from their breath, They were all at least spiritual masters, but at their table, they said they were eating, but the five of them ordered only two vegetarian dishes. It was obvious that they were a little short of money, but for Qi Linfeng, this was actually a big deal. Just the right thing.
"I'm sorry, but I don't know if I can disturb you five?"
"Who are you? We said we've had enough food and we won't order any more." The speaker was a thin man. Judging from his appearance, he was a middle-aged man in his forties with a smooth head. But there were only a few dull hairs floating faintly in the room, and it was obvious that he was not the leader among these people. The so-called eldest brother who was really the leader was the man on the left who was wearing a yellow robe and had a fat head and big ears. , although his face was oily, the scar across his entire face turned the oiliness into a somewhat cold and solemn feeling.
"You don't seem to be a clerk in this store. Who are you?"
The man's words suddenly alerted the rest of the people, "Could this guy have just been eavesdropping on our conversation? Brother, why don't we do it to him." Qi Linfeng quickly smiled to show his kindness, "No, no, no, everyone." Brother, I didn’t mean to eavesdrop on what you were saying. I just happened to be dining next door to a few of you and overheard something vaguely interesting. Don’t get me wrong. I really don’t mean any harm. I just hope to hear more about unknown spiritual beasts. .”
Another man in green holding a short knife, who was obviously an assassin, directly put the blade to the back of Qi Linfeng's head at a good speed, "Want to get information from us? Boy, you got it wrong. He’s dead, brother, kill him.”
"No, no, no, brothers, if I really wanted to eavesdrop, I wouldn't have sent it to my door like this, right? Besides, I don't mean to know about the spiritual beast, I just want to see it. What kind of spiritual beast is that spirit beast?"
"Oh? Why do you want to know so much?"
"I have no other interests on weekdays. I am just very interested in some rare and exotic beasts on this continent. If possible, I would like to see them in person. It would be best to use them for study." The leading man carefully examined a large number of them. After looking at Qi Linfeng for a while, he didn't seem to see anything wrong, and then asked: "Research, why, you are very knowledgeable about spiritual beasts?"
"Oh, I can't say research, it's just interest, just interest..."
The man signaled a few people to put down their guard and allowed Qi Linfeng to enter. When Qi Linfeng saw this, he was naturally the first to show his kindness, "Oh, thank you for trusting me. I'm not talented. It's really just my interest that makes me do this." , how about this, as a reward, how about you treat me to today's meal?" Without saying anything, Qi Linfeng ordered a large table of delicacies, almost all of which were prepared by sea, land and air, which made several people swallow secretly. Drooling, "Hehehe, young man, you are quite good at life."
"When you go out to hang out, you should always learn to make friends. If it's not enough, the older brothers can continue to make more friends. Don't worry, I'm not short of money."
After a good meal, several people obviously let down their guard a lot, and they believed Qi Linfeng's words to a certain extent. Qi Linfeng didn't even blink an eye at the few hundred spirit yuan that was paid at the end. Paying directly in one fell swoop, the fat man in charge couldn't help but look at Qi Linfeng a few more times, "This kid suddenly appeared. Is he really just interested in spiritual beasts? Judging from the aura on his body, it doesn't seem to be strong. Could it be that the young master from some family just came out to play?"
"Little brother, today's meal is a token of our gratitude to you. Thank you for your hospitality."
"Hey, brothers, you're welcome. As the old saying goes, you rely on friends when you go out. It's not a bad thing to have a few more friends. Just treat me as a younger brother and get to know a few of them. I wonder if some of the older brothers may trust my younger brother now?" Qi Linfeng was holding back his smile, "I'll go, I didn't expect that I would use the bad jokes in martial arts novels, but it seems like these guys can solve it with money."
Several people looked at each other, and there was something clearly communicating in their eyes, "Hahaha, of course, of course, little brother, you are treating us so warmly, how can we not believe you? It seems that little brother is indeed very kind." I like exotic animals.”
"Yes, I don't have any other hobbies, just this one. In life, there must be one or two things that you like."
"Well, little brother is right. It seems that you are spending so much money, little brother. You must be a rich young man from a certain family, right?"
"Hey, I can't talk about the rich young man. It's just that my family has a small business in Longdu."
"Oh, it turns out that little brother is still from Longdu. No wonder he doesn't know the news about our Watch City in the past few days."
Seeing this, Qi Linfeng hurriedly answered: "I just came to the Watch City yesterday. What's wrong? Could it be that the news mentioned by the elder brothers is about the spirit beast?" The man nodded, "It's the spirit beast." The beast is right. Although the Adventurers Association and Piaomiao Tower have issued announcements and offered rewards, the outside world knows very little about the details. They only know that it is a strange spiritual beast that came from nowhere in the past few months. According to It seems to have been discovered in a certain ruins, and a dozen adventurers were directly killed by it."
"It seems that the strength of the spiritual beast is not low. Can it kill more than a dozen people in a row?"
"Yes, I went there one after another. I wanted to catch it, but one by one died. In fact, it is difficult for most people to know the real information about the spiritual beast. The few of us also have My friend is an adventurer and I have been there a few times before I know a little bit about it.”
Qi Linfeng said quickly: "That's it. I also hope that the elder brothers can tell me the specific information about the spiritual beast, so that the younger brother can understand it."
I saw the leading man wink slightly, as if he was waiting for something. When Qi Linfeng saw this, he naturally understood what it meant, and took out dozens of spirit yuan from the storage bag on his waist and handed it to In his hand, the man weighed it, but he was still speechless. Seeing this, Qi Linfeng gave three Haori Spirit Crystals to several people, "This is it!" Several people were stunned for a while, "Is this it? The Haori Spiritual Crystal that has been rumored to be in circulation in the Dragon City in recent times? It is said that one piece can be worth thousands of Spiritual Yuan!"
Qi Linfeng's face was slightly troubled, "This is indeed the Haori Spiritual Crystal. I am not very talented, so I only brought this much when I went out this time. I hope the elder brothers won't dislike it." In fact, Qi Linfeng was more than that, it was just that he You are not a fool, there is no reason to give money to others for free.
"Hahaha, you're welcome, little brother. In fact, don't blame our brothers for being philistines. Rather, this news was obtained by many adventurers and experts who sacrificed their lives. We must be worthy of their sacrifices, right?"
"Of course, of course, I understand, but I don't know..."
Afterwards, after some explanations from several people, Qi Linfeng had a general understanding of the spiritual beast. In fact, more than a month ago, an unknown forest suddenly appeared in the abandoned forest in the north of the city. The ancient ruins were originally inaccessible to anyone, but then a spiritual beast that they had just spoken about ran out from the entrance to the ruins. The spiritual beast was extremely fast, and many people did not even notice its appearance. Qing was killed on the spot, and everyone also discovered that only the spiritual beast seemed to be able to enter and exit the ruins freely.
Therefore, the Piaomiao Tower Branch of Watch City, as well as the Adventurer Branch and others realized that the spirit beast was most likely the guardian beast of the ruins, but the ruins were guarded by an extremely powerful spiritual formation. For this reason, everyone was With speculation, maybe only by catching the spirit beast can we enter the ruins. For this reason, a long-lasting spirit beast hunting is launched. But in fact, the spirit beast is not the fundamental goal of everyone. The ruins behind it are. However, according to the descriptions of those who were lucky enough to survive from its mouth, the spiritual beast seemed to be unusual, which made the matter even more fermented.
At the beginning, both Piaomiao Tower and the Adventurers Association hoped to quietly enter the ruins to look for possible treasures and opportunities. After all, this was a rare opportunity to improve their strength, but the spirit beast was far more difficult to deal with than anyone else. As expected, under the helplessness of hundreds of people dying, the two parties jointly agreed to issue a reward for the spiritual beast. This was how all the forces in the Dragon Emperor family paid attention to the movements in the Watch City. However, before It was the Longzi Competition again and the disaster in Longdu. Compared with these things, the matter of the spirit beasts in Watch City was temporarily suppressed.
But now, as the ruins have appeared for a long time, the strong spiritual power fluctuations in them have swept across the entire Forsaken Forest, causing a lot of evil spirit turmoil, and even quickly spreading to surrounding cities. This is what attracts everyone's attention. The ruins and spirit beasts gathered again. Qi Linfeng listened to their descriptions and was even more curious about the spirit beasts. As for the ruins and the like, Qi Linfeng didn't have much interest, but what he didn't know was , as more and more eyes focused on the ruins of the Watch City, the peace after finally escaping from death was finally hopeless.
After Qi Linfeng had a general understanding, he hurriedly took Xiao Ling'er back to the city lord's mansion. After getting to know the general again, Qi Linfeng went directly to Long Yuyun and the others. But at this time, Long Yu The conversation between Yun and Long Yi seemed a bit heavy and depressing, "It's impossible. Although Fourth Sister is usually a little unruly and mischievous, and has a somewhat arrogant temperament, and she always has a lot of prejudice and misunderstanding towards you, little sister, she doesn't You’re not the kind of person who can’t tell right from wrong at all. You said it was your fourth sister who seriously injured you in Luojianyuan? Then, what do you mean, then you mean she might be an anti-entropy person?”
"No, Third Brother, that's not what I meant. Although I don't know if those people who appeared at that time were anti-entropy, but apart from anti-entropy people, it seems that there is no other force on the mainland that would associate with evil spirits. But when I wanted to save the Fourth Sister, the person who suddenly hit me hard behind my back... indeed, it was indeed the Fourth Sister..."
"What about the aura? The appearance can be changed, but the aura can never be faked. Little sister, please think carefully. Is it really the aura of your fourth sister that attacked you at that time?" In fact, Long Yuyun also didn't want to believe it. But in the situation at that time, the person who attacked her was indeed Long Pianran, no matter in appearance or aura. No matter how many times Long Yuyun thought about it, it was an unavoidable fact.
Seeing Long Yuyun's disbelief, but always nodding slightly, Long Yi's expression gradually became sluggish and startled, "If Pianran really hurt you seriously, and those mysterious people who acted with the evil spirits are anti-entropy If so, then the matter would be serious. You went to rescue her, but instead of coming back with you, Pianran seriously injured you. There is no trace of her even now. Could it be that she really... entered reverse entropy. ..." Although they don't want to believe it, the facts before them make Long Yi and Long Yuyun's faces extremely ugly. After all, in their opinion, no matter what misunderstanding Long Pianran has had about Long Yuyun since childhood, , no matter how unhappy it is, it is just a conflict between family members, but now, she can't help but be pushed to the forefront of possible collusion with Anti-Entropy, which makes Long Yi and the others really shocked and unacceptable.
