The man's shadow was cast on the ground by the moonlight through the curtains of the tent.
Ji Ning, who was munching on the animal meat, seemed to notice something, his pupils narrowed slightly and his body froze instantly.
Before he had time to react.
"Buzz!"
The curtain was opened by a man!
"What are you doing up so late?"
The strong man who even slept with his sword on his back rubbed his sleepy eyes and yawned as he asked casually.
Because Ji Ning's back was turned to him and he was wearing clothes exclusive to their adventure group, he did not doubt Ji Ning's identity.
"I didn't eat enough during the day and I'm hungry."
"How many times have I told you not to eat in the middle of the night? It's not good for your health. Why don't you listen?"
The man smacked his lips, turned around and went outside to relieve himself without asking any further questions.
In the tent, Ji Ning was covered in cold sweat and his face was pale.
He didn't have time to rejoice, so he hurriedly dropped the animal leg in his hand, took the medicine in the small cloth bag, lifted up the tent curtain and ran in the opposite direction to the man, and soon disappeared into the night.
"Phew, feel good!"
In the camp of the adventure group, a man carrying a sword returned from urinating. He stretched his waist in front of the moon with a contented look on his face. He returned to his tent and was about to lie down when he heard a cry from his belly. So he picked up the wine bottle and said loudly to the front:
"Hey, cut some of that beast's legs for me!"
Naturally, no one in the tent responded.
When the man saw no movement, he frowned slightly and noticed something was wrong. He stood up suddenly and walked towards the tent.
The curtain is lifted again.
There was no one inside anymore.
There was only one uneaten animal leg, which was thrown alone on the ground.
…
Another day later.
In the beautiful mountains, beside a trickling stream.
"Phew, it feels so good."
Ji Ning lay on the ground and drank several large gulps of mountain spring water. Then he lay down on the ground contentedly, panting, looking tired.
Last night, in order to prevent being chased by the adventurous group, he deliberately did not rest. He covered his whereabouts and hurried on, choosing roads with complex terrain. He took a detour of more than ten miles without a moment's rest. Until then, he Collapsed from exhaustion.
The dazzling sunshine shines on the body, giving a little warmth to the mountains and fields in spring.
"After taking those medicines, the injury recovered much faster."
Ji Ning closed his eyes and carefully felt the injuries inside his body.
Although the herbs he stole were all very common herbs, they seemed to be effective. The injury to his lower abdomen stopped getting worse overnight. It was uncertain whether he would be cured if he continued to eat it, but at least it would last him until Don’t die before returning to Taoist Temple.
"Looking at the surrounding terrain, I'm already on the edge of the middle area. If I walk for two more days, I'll reach the outer area, not far from the Taoist temple. I shouldn't encounter any monsters."
Ji Ning took a deep breath and continued on his way regardless of his physical fatigue.
Xiushan, according to the degree of danger and terrain, is divided into four parts: peripheral, middle, deep, and core.
The closer you get, the more dangerous it becomes. For example, Longtan Peak is located inside Xiushan, closer to the core area. There are many dangerous monsters hidden there.
The middle area is also extremely dangerous. He has encountered many monsters these days, so he rarely dares to sleep peacefully.
"There seem to be traces of someone's activity here."
After walking a few miles further, Ji Ning keenly noticed that there was a mess of footprints in the open space in front of him.
Looking carefully, there are obvious traces of being covered up around here. It seems that there is a team covering their whereabouts and not wanting to be found.
Ji Ning looked solemn and walked over cautiously. After finding that the other party didn't leave anything useful, he continued on his way.
This time, he became more cautious and even picked up some thorns and put them on his body, just like a hunter, using the colors of nature to protect himself.
In this way, Ji Ning once again embarked on the slow road back to the mountain.
One day, two days.
He had hardly slept at all and was back to his original state. He picked some wild fruits when he was hungry and drank from the stream when he was thirsty.
He was getting closer and closer to the outer area, and he was getting more and more tired. He even almost fainted a few times, so he had to find a hidden bush to sleep for a short while before getting up and moving on.
Return to the mountain and take revenge.
Over the past few days, Ji Ning has become more and more silent. At first, he might have been talking to himself, but now he was so tired that he didn't even have the strength to speak, and even if he did, he wouldn't speak.
Now, he just wants to dedicate all the suffering he has suffered to Li Hu.
Logically speaking, as long as he walked forward for less than half a day, he would be able to leave the middle area and reach the periphery.
By then, you can find a place off the beaten track and have a good sleep without worrying about being snatched away by wolves.
However, the accident still happened.
A clear hoofbeat sounded throughout the forest.
The woods moved, and the green leaves were like sharp blades, wrapped together by a gust of wind, and violently smashed down to the ground in the distance, like huge rocks falling from the sky. Then there was a tremor on the ground, and groups of trees Falling down one after another.
A nine-foot-long, snow-white giant-toothed tiger demon opened its giant claws, roared and tore apart the hurricane, and knocked down a black nine-clawed eagle demon from high altitude.
The two hit the ground in the distance with a thud. The battle caused bursts of roars, and the roars of the fighting were terrifying.
"what happens?"
Ji Ning hid behind a stone, looking surprised.
Logically speaking, if it were not a group with innate racial hatred, the monsters would not kill each other. Each monster would have its own territory and would not invade each other.
Even if there is a conflict accidentally, it is mostly just a symbolic fight, and it will not lead to a fight to the death. After all, demons are not stupid, and everyone is of equal strength. In this jungle where the jungle is full of predators, if you are injured, it will be greatly affected. Increased risk of being killed by other predators.
But why are these two monsters so abnormal?
Ji Ning vaguely sensed that something was wrong. After taking a deep breath, he slowly walked towards the battlefield in front of the two. He saw that in the center of the battlefield where the two met and fought, there was a tree with ten people hugging each other. willow.
The willow tree is lush and green, and even the leaves are tender and smooth, which looks very pleasant, but the most noteworthy thing is the bright red Ganoderma lucidum on the crown of the willow tree, which exudes a rich fragrance.
Just smelling that scent made Ji Ning tremble all over, and the blood in his body seemed to flow faster, like a group of lambs waiting to be fed.
Miraculous medicine!
Ji Ning's expression was intense. He did not expect that he would encounter the legendary elixir, and it was also the Blood Ganoderma with strong vitality. As long as he took it, the injuries in his body would probably recover immediately!
Each elixir often takes dozens or even hundreds of years from growth to maturity.
The carrier for the conditional birth of elixir can be a tree, a stone, or a certain place. After absorbing enough essence of heaven and earth, a certain degree of spiritual wisdom will be born, such as goblins and mountain ghosts. In this way Only with its existence can it have the potential to initially breed elixirs.
When the elixir is conceived, it will surely attract many monsters and practitioners to covet it.
Therefore, the carriers that breed elixirs will try their best to change their directions, because they also have a certain amount of intelligence. Every once in a while, they can use the essence of heaven and earth to teleport. Every time they hide, they are very hidden, even if they can be found. Once, it is rarely found a second time.
But right now, the blood Ganoderma lucidum is obviously about to mature, and the scent of the medicine in the wind is proof.
"No wonder these two monsters fight so desperately. Eating this elixir will probably make their bodies much stronger."
Ji Ning looked solemn.
If he could take that Blood Ganoderma, it would undoubtedly be of great benefit to his injuries. If he could get it, he might be able to regain all his strength in an instant, and even reach a higher level. Become a practitioner!
However, with these two big demons in front, the sky was dark and the earth was dark. How could he grab the Blood Ganoderma?
Ji Ning's eyes were solemn and he had no intention of retreating.
As the battle between the two intensified, he quietly approached the tree.
He didn't stop until he was only twenty steps away from the battlefield and only ten steps away from the tree.
"Roar!"
At this time, the tiger demon let out another shocking roar, and its demonic power emerged, as if it wanted to expand its body again, but there was no change.
"It's time to decide the winner!"
Ji Ning's heart trembled when he saw the eagle demon chirping, and the feathers on its wings turned into countless arrows and fell from the air, stabbing the tiger demon's body. The latter roared again and again, jumped up, and ignored the angry eyes. When the arrow feathers are pierced, they will also grab the wings of the harpy, and then tear them apart.
Boom!
In an instant, both fell to the ground at the same time.
The terrifying demon power that filled the sky quickly dissipated at this moment, causing a huge amount of smoke and dust.
"It's now!"
There was no time to care about who won the final victory. Ji Ning rushed out of the bunker, took three steps and two steps at a time, and used all his strength to jump into the air to pick the Blood Ganoderma lucidum from the tree.
Just when he was about to succeed, a black shadow rushed out from the space beside him.
Although the timing of rushing out was a little slower than his, the speed was more than a little faster, and he jumped to the same height as him in the blink of an eye.
The two hands touched the blood Ganoderma lucidum almost at the same time!
