Late at night, Chunyu Village.
Zhao Yun's wooden house is located in the center of the village, and a few rays of pale moonlight still shine on his dark second-floor windows.
The wooden house is the same as the other houses in the village. They are all pitch black. Occasionally, you can hear a few dogs barking or a few roosters crowing, like an uneasiness dotting the black silence.
At this time, on the second floor of Zhao Yun's ordinary wooden house, a thin figure was still sitting on the bedside.
Zhao Yun was quietly looking at the small wooden box in his hand.
There was a crystal clear aqua blue pill in the wooden box, shining faintly in the darkness.
This elixir was given to him by Ling Meng. It is an extremely precious second-grade elixir that can restore the energy and blood of a second-grade warrior in an instant.
Although it is not of much use to Liao Meng, it is indeed an extremely precious thing to Zhao Yun.
Although now his Dantian has been emptied and he can no longer retain the power of Qi and blood in his body, but after taking this pill, he will be able to have the fighting power of a second-grade warrior in a short period of time. When this power of Qi and blood is used up, In the past, he was still a noble warrior.
As for after using up this energy and blood, I am afraid that his Dantian will be completely necrotic and his martial arts will be cut off from now on.
But he doesn't care about this anymore. As long as he can survive tomorrow, he can be reborn. If he can't survive...
Zhao Yun's expression was stern, and a firm light flashed in his eyes. He then closed the wooden box, placed it on his chest and collar, and then lay down to rest.
By the time the sky had just released a little bit of white the next day, there was no trace of Zhao Yun on his bed.
At this moment, Jiang Zhiyuan and Jiang Xianfeng were sleeping on the same bed. It was Jiang Xianfeng who strongly requested to sleep with her sister, so another bed in the house was freed up.
In the middle of the night, Jiang Zhiyuan woke up several times and picked up the quilt kicked off by Jiang Xianfeng from the ground.
No, she was woken up again by Jiang Xianfeng turning over and kicking her legs. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the quilt had been kicked to the ground again.
Jiang Zhiyuan climbed out of bed helplessly and helped him tidy up the quilt and covered him with it.
After stretching, a faint feeling of sleepiness surged up again. Jiang Zhiyuan hesitated for a moment, then climbed into bed again. Just quietly looking at Jiang Xianfeng's sleeping face so close at hand.
After a while, Jiang Xianfeng didn't know what kind of nightmare he had, but suddenly a look of fear appeared on his face, and his hands began to tremble slightly.
Jiang Zhiyuan quickly held both of his hands and whispered in his ear, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. My sister is here, don't be afraid!"
As if hearing Jiang Zhiyuan's comforting voice, Jiang Xianfeng hummed twice unconsciously, then pressed Jiang Zhiyuan's hand tightly on his chest, and then fell into a deep sleep again.
In the room next door, Yi Niao had already gotten up early to wash up.
He wasn't used to sleeping for as long as the Terrans did. Generally speaking, he only sleeps for one or two hours a day when he is very tired. The rest of the time he is either looking for food or digesting food.
But since he got this human body, he also began to learn to live like a human.
"call--"
Liao Meng, who had been sitting on the bed meditating, finished his night of practice, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and slowly opened his eyes.
Yi Niao was washing his face and poked his head out of the door to look at Meng curiously.
"Is this the practice of your human race? It looks very powerful.
What a look! "Yitiao said with great interest.
Liao Meng said calmly, "You, a demon clan, want to practice Qingcheng Mountain's skills?"
Yi Niao suddenly swallowed and sighed, "Forget it then. I don't dare to take advantage of your Qingcheng Mountain Kung Fu. If this is discovered, I will probably be hunted to the ends of the earth!"
"It's good to know. Heaven is fair and has given you monsters a powerful body and a long lifespan, but it has not given you much spiritual wisdom and understanding of Taoism."
"Yes, so before we demon clan transformed, we could only rely on swallowing all kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, as well as all kinds of blood food to absorb spiritual energy and practice. It's not like you humans, who can cultivate from heaven and earth through practicing exercises. Absorb spiritual energy in a short time and directly realize the great truth!" Yi Niao said with emotion.
"Hmph, with your way of swallowing heavenly materials and earthly treasures, you don't know how much essence will escape. That is simply a waste of treasures!"
"I have heard that your human race has a special method called alchemy, which can refine the essence of these spiritual flowers and herbs. But with the relationship between the human race and the demon race at that time, where can I find you human race to refine medicine? . Either we are afraid that you will play tricks on the elixir, or you are afraid that we will take the opportunity to kill you!" Yi Niao said with a smile.
Liao Meng got out of bed and walked towards the door, while saying calmly, "Call me when you have dinner later. I'll go for a walk in the back mountain."
Yi Niao watched Meng's back go away, and then stared thoughtfully at the mountain forest where he noticed the abnormality yesterday, which was the back mountain.
In the early morning, there is a thick cloud and mist in the mountain forest, which looks very cold. The flawless white frost hangs on the treetops, like a white veil on the face of a girl. It must not be desecrated at will.
However, for some unknown reason, a big tree suddenly trembled slightly, and then large tracts of snow and frost all fell down on the tree, bringing some flaws to this originally calm and picturesque scene, as if it was turning to a still place. A stone was thrown into the pond, breaking the calm and causing ripples.
"This village doesn't look as peaceful as it appears on the surface." After muttering, Yiniao packed up the towel, woke up the sleeping pig demon in the yard, and prepared to ride it for a walk in the village.
The pig demon grunted dissatisfiedly, turned around and fell asleep again.
Yiniao was helpless for a while and had no choice but to stand in the courtyard in a daze.
At this time, most of the people in the village were still asleep, and only a few households had their lights on, wondering what they were busy with.
From time to time there are a few hurried figures on the road, and the sound of footsteps seems to be urging the sky to rise quickly.
At this moment, in the mountains and forests.
Two slightly thin figures were facing each other in silence, but one figure was panting, while the other had a steady and long breath.
Zhao Yun slowly raised his hand and wiped away a little blood from the corner of his mouth. At this time, his face was as pale as paper, his chest was sunken into a large area, and his forehead was covered with a layer of fine beads of sweat.
His condition seemed to be very bad. If he didn't deal with it immediately, he might not be able to survive today at his age.
"Old thief! Do you think that with this second-level strength that you have somehow recovered, you can sneak attack and hurt me? Let me tell you! If you don't hand over that thing today, I will really kill you!" Standing! The man opposite Zhao Yun sneered, and then said in a deep voice.
Zhao Yun managed to stand up straight, with a sarcastic smile on his face that was distorted by pain, and said
, "Haha, if you can, just kill me! If you really had the guts to do it, you could have killed me long ago!"
When the man saw this, he immediately became furious. He strode forward, grabbed Zhao Yun's collar, and pushed him heavily against the tree trunk behind him. Nothing more fell on the tree that had already fallen covered with snow and frost.
In this quiet space, the only sounds that could be heard were Zhao Yun's groans of pain and his coughing due to poor breathing.
"Hand over the things!" The man grabbed his collar with both hands and yelled viciously.
"Cough...cough!" Zhao Yun's face was already flushed red due to congestion, and mouthfuls of blood flowed out from the corners of his mouth without him being aware of it, staining his collar and the man's wrists with bulging veins. .
"If you really kill me, you will never find that thing again! Ahem!" Zhao Yun coughed twice again, his face became paler and his body softened, as if he would fall down at any time. generally.
When the man saw this, his face suddenly showed a bit of hesitation, and his eyes full of hatred and anger showed a hint of struggle.
Just when the man was distracted, as if thinking about something, Zhao Yun showed a strange and sinister look in his eyes.
The next moment, a dagger with a green color suddenly appeared in his hand, and he kicked towards the big tree behind him. His originally thin and weak body trembled suddenly, which actually made the man take a step back. The dagger in his hand was straight. Stab the man in the stomach.
The man's reaction was also extremely fast. When he saw the dagger with a strange color all over his body, his heart trembled and he jumped to the side to dodge.
The dagger tore through his clothes and tore off a long strip of cloth, but it did not hurt him.
Seeing that the attack failed, Zhao Yun showed a look of regret and regret on his face.
The man looked down at the place injured by the dagger, and saw a little green light attached to the clothes made of coarse cloth, slowly corroding it.
"I have seen your vicious and despicable methods back then. You didn't give up after the sneak attack failed before, and you actually want to do it a second time?" the man said solemnly.
Zhao Yun was silent.
The man tore off all the areas eroded by the venom and threw them aside. Then he hit Zhao Yun's right hand with a swift and violent palm, knocking the poisonous dagger to the ground.
Zhao Yun squatted down holding his injured and fractured right hand in pain, and shouted, "Did you know that several experts have come to my village, and they are all here to investigate your whereabouts! If you don't leave, your life may be in danger!"
The man was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile and said, "I have only two pursuits in my life. One is to kill you and avenge my father! The other is to retrieve that thing! As long as I complete these two Even if it means killing me!"
When Zhao Yun heard this, he gritted his teeth and his face was full of reluctance, "Why do this! I have told you a long time ago that you still have a lot of youth, there is no need to fight with me, an old man who is in his twilight years..."
The man slapped him in the face with disdain, interrupting his words.
A few yellowed and black teeth fell out, mixed with a trace of blood.
"Stop your old rhetoric. Today is the deadline I gave you. If you still don't hand over that thing, then I will burn your poor village and let you take your entire village with you." Go underground to meet my father!"
The man stared at Zhao Yun with a strong look of madness in his eyes.
