Jiang Donghua's original plan was crackling. He promised to go to Black Corner Region, but in fact he just found a remote mountain and old forest to hide for a few days and come back after the storm was over.
Anyway Mo Xuan that old man can't keep an eye on him in person, right?
But who would have thought that at dawn, the door would be kicked open.
"Bang!"
Hong Ling folded his arms and leaned against the door frame. His expression was indifferent, without the shyness of yesterday at all. He glanced at Jiang Donghua up and down, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and his tone was unquestionable.
"Elder Mo Xuan said, for your safety, I will accompany you."
He was just about to open his mouth to quibble, but when he turned around, he saw that Griffin had been prepared in the yard, with a luggage strapped to his back. It was obviously not a temporary move.
You are so determined to escort him there!
Jiang Donghua The corners of his mouth twitched, and he cursed secretly in his heart.
"This old man is as guarding against me as he is guarding against thieves!"
Hong Ling saw him frozen in place and raised his eyebrows to urge him.
"Why, you want me to carry you up?"
Jiang Donghua laughed twice.
"How dare I bother senior sister? I'll do it myself, I'll do it myself..."
He climbed up Griffin resignedly, thinking about the possibility of running away halfway.
However, Hong Ling seemed to see through his mind and rode directly on the other Griffin, walking side by side with him, with a hint of warning in his eyes.
"Don't even think about running away."
She said calmly.
"Elder Mo Xuan said, if you dare to sneak away halfway, he will settle the ledger with you about how you secretly took a lot of his pills last time."
This old man is so cruel!
Griffin flapped its wings and flew high, passing over Jia Nan Academy, then galloping in the direction of Black Corner Region.
Jiang Donghua sat on the back of Griffin, feeling the howling wind, feeling reluctant in every way, looking sideways at Hong Ling, and asked tentatively.
"Senior sister, are we going directly to Black Corner Region?"
Hong Ling shook his head and spoke calmly.
"No, the first stop is Peace Town."
"Peace Town?"
Jiang Donghua was stunned.
"Isn't that the entrance to Black Corner Region? I heard that there is a mixture of fish and dragons there, and there are desperadoes everywhere."
Hong Ling glanced at him, half smiling.
"What, are you scared?"
Jiang Donghua immediately straightened his back and said harshly.
"Afraid? When have I, Jiang Donghua, been afraid? I just feel weird. Why are we going there?"
Hong Ling said lightly.
"Peace Town is the only place outside Black Corner Region that still has 'rules'. Let's go there first to find out the information and let you get used to it."
Jiang Donghua murmured in his heart.
"Adapt? Are you adapting to being hunted?"
But he still answered honestly.
"Oh, okay."
Griffin As soon as Peace Town landed, a strong smell of blood hit his face.
Jiang Donghua frowned and looked along the smell, only to see a huge dead tree standing at the entrance of the town, Death Spirit Tree.
The tree was as black as iron, and its branches were twisted like ghost claws. There were three corpses hanging on it, each of them exuding a heart-stopping pressure.
Two Dou Wang, one Dou Emperor!
Their corpses have long shriveled up, but the remaining Dou Qi fluctuations still make people shudder.
The most chilling thing is that their expressions are frozen in the moment before death - panic, despair, and unwillingness.
Before they could observe more, several Enforcement Team members wearing Jia Nan Academy uniforms walked over quickly and saluted respectfully.
"Hello, senior brother and sister! We are Seventh Enforcement Team, please leave this Griffin to our care."
The leader Enforcement Team's eyes stayed on Jiang Donghua for a moment, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled.
"It turns out to be Senior Brother Jiang from Outer Court Alchemy Department! I have long admired your name!"
Jiang Donghua was stunned. He didn't expect that his fame in Outer Court would actually spread here.
He laughed twice.
"You're welcome, you're welcome."
Hong Ling nodded lightly and handed Griffin the reins.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Enforcement Team member quickly waved his hand.
"That's right! Senior brother and sister are new to Peace Town. If you need help, just ask!"
Hong Ling took out a yellowed sheepskin drawing from Storage Ring, and lightly traced several marks with his fingertips, his expression indifferent.
"Since Blood Demon Sect attacked Jia Nan Academy and was shocked, the forces near Peace Town have converged a lot."
She whispered.
"The strongest one currently entrenched around here is none other than Battle Spirit level."
Jiang Donghua glanced at the drawings, which were densely marked with the distribution range of each force and even a simple strength assessment.
He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"Sister, have you prepared this information in detail enough?"
Hong Ling put away the drawings and spoke calmly.
"When you go out, you have to be prepared."
Jiang Donghua shrugged and lazily leaned back on the shabby wooden chair in the inn.
"Okay, I'll listen to you anyway. Let's take a rest today. Tomorrow, we can choose any direction from the southeast, northwest, and kill them."
Hong Ling glanced at him lightly.
"Don't be careless, people from Black Corner Region won't tell you any rules."
The night passed quietly, and Jiang Donghua had just stepped out of the Peace Town boundary, still holding a grass stem in his mouth and talking vaguely.
"Senior sister, it seems that this Black Corner Region is not as evil as the legends say. After walking for a long time, he didn't even survive..."
"Whoops--!"
Before he finished speaking, a pitch-black arrow passed by his ear, nailing into the tree trunk behind him, and the tail of the arrow trembled violently.
Jiang Donghua stiffened, turned his head slowly, stared at the still trembling arrow, his Adam's apple rolling.
"Pretend I didn't say it."
Hong Ling had already stepped in front of him, the dagger in his sleeve slipped into his palm, and he glanced coldly at the shadows of the dense forest.
"Get out."
"Jiejiejie..."
A hoarse, weird laugh came from the bushes, and five or six men in ragged clothes slowly walked out.
The leader was One-eyed Strongman, carrying a rusty giant ax on his shoulder, with two front teeth missing in his grinning mouth.
"The little baby is so brave, dares to step on our 'Blood Fang Gang' territory?"
Jiang Donghua secretly poked Hong Ling on the back and whispered.
"Sister, they don't even have all their teeth, how about we..."
"Shut up."
Hong Ling raised the edge of the sword, and the cold light made the one-eyed man's pupils shrink suddenly.
"Yo ho!"
The one-eyed man struck the ground with his axe, splashing three feet of dust.
"Young lady, you are very brave? Do you know what will happen if you draw your sword randomly at Black Corner Region?"
He suddenly pulled open his clothes, revealing a hideous scar on his chest.
"The last one was so crazy, and now he's still hanging on the tree!"
Jiang Donghua suddenly poked his head out from behind Hong Ling.
"Brother, your scar is quite unique. Did it get broken by your own axe?"
"Fart..."
The one-eyed man was furious.
"Whoosh--!"
Hong Ling's sword tip was pressed against his Adam's apple.
The whole place was dead silent.
A drop of cold sweat slid down the one-eyed man's temple. He stiffened his neck and glanced sideways at the sword's edge, then suddenly grinned.
"The heroine is so skilled! Let's get out of here!"
After saying that, he took three steps back, turned around and ran away.
Hong Ling said lightly.
"You commit suicide yourself, so I don't have to do it."
The one-eyed man smiled ferociously and took out a scarlet pill from his arms.
"You little bastard, do you really think Black Corner Region is your Jia Nan Academy's play house?"
He swallowed the pill in one gulp, and the muscles all over his body swelled instantly, and the veins popped out. Dou Qi soared directly from peak Fighter to Dou Shi level!
"Berserk Blood Pill?!"
Jiang Donghua's pupils shrank.
"Sister, be careful, eating this stuff can increase your strength in a short time."
"So much nonsense."
Hong Ling interrupted with a cold voice, and his figure appeared like a ghost!
"Shua--!"
The light of the sword was like snow, and it disappeared in a flash.
The one-eyed man still maintained a ferocious smile, but a line of blood as thin as a hair appeared on his neck.
"Pfft!"
Blood splattered and the head rolled off.
Before the remaining robbers could react, Hong Ling's sword blades were already stabbing out like poisonous snakes.
"Chi! Chi! Chi!"
The three heads flew up almost at the same time, and the headless corpse shook twice before falling to the ground.
The whole process only takes three breaths.
Jiang Donghua opened his mouth and held back a sentence for a long time.
"Hong Ling, you kill people more efficiently than you can chop vegetables."
Hong Ling shook off the blood beads on the sword and said calmly.
"In Black Corner Region, stop talking nonsense and kill if you can."
Jiang Donghua nodded silently, but murmured in his heart.
"This senior sister usually looks cold and cold, but she is really unambiguous in her attacks."
He knelt down, turned over the body of the one-eyed man, took out a few blood-red pills from his arms, and marveled.
"Hey, do you still have it in stock? Although this Berserk Blood Pill has serious side effects, it can save your life at critical moments, so just take it."
Hong Ling frowned.
"What are you doing with this?"
Jiang Donghua grinned.
"Research on it, maybe we can improve it and make a version without side effects."
Hong Ling If you have nothing to do, just follow Jiang Donghua, no matter what he wants to do or where he goes.
Jiang Donghua stood on tiptoes and carefully pushed aside the bushes, his eyes lit up.
"Sister! Look!"
Hong Ling stood with his sword in hand and glanced coldly. On the rock wall in front, a red Ganoderma lucidum shone with blood in the sun, surrounded by Spiritual Qi. It was obviously not an ordinary thing.
"Crimson Blood Lingzhi, at least three hundred years old."
Jiang Donghua rubbed his hands and said excitedly.
"This thing is made into 'Blood Spirit Pill', which can help Dou Ling break through a small realm!"
Hong Ling frowned slightly.
"Our mission is to go to Black Corner Region, not to collect medicine."
"A convenient thing!"
Jiang Donghua already squatted down and took out the jade shovel from Storage Ring.
"Leave as soon as you finish picking, no delay!"
Hong Ling was about to speak when his pupils suddenly shrank.
"Wait--"
"Crack!"
Jiang Donghua The ground beneath his feet suddenly collapsed, and a smelly wind swept out from the ground!
"Roar--!!!"
The rock wall exploded, and a huge creature burst out of the ground!
The jet-black scales glowed with a metallic luster, and the scarlet vertical pupils locked onto the two of them. With a sweep of his thick tail, the surrounding boulders instantly shattered!
Tier 5 Demonic Beast--Earth Fiend Demonic Lizard!
"Dou, Dou Wang level?!"
Jiang Donghua turned pale, and the jade shovel in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.
Hong Ling reacted very quickly, grabbed him by the back of the collar, and retreated violently!
"Boom--!"
The giant claw of the demon lizard took the shot, and a huge crater several feet deep was directly smashed into the place where they were standing!
"Jiang Donghua! What you dug is its companion elixir!"
Hong Ling gritted his teeth.
"It's not written in the book!"
Jiang Donghua wants to cry but has no tears.
"Compendium of Herbs says that Crimson Blood Lingzhi was born and raised!"
"That's ordinary Crimson Blood Lingzhi!"
Hong Ling wants to throw him out.
"This one grows above the demon lizard's lair, and it is obviously nourished by its own blood!"
The demon lizard looked up to the sky and roared, black mist surged around it, clawed at the ground, and charged again!
Hong Ling looked sharply and drew his sword with his backhand.
"Zheng!"
A sharp sword energy was slashed out, causing the demon lizard to feel pain and its movements were slightly sluggish.
But the next second, it became even more furious, its scales glowed with a strange red light, and its speed suddenly increased!
"Oops, it's gone crazy!"
Hong Ling's face changed slightly, he picked up Jiang Donghua's back collar, turned around and ran away!
"Senior sister! Aren't you Dou Ling? Fight with it!"
Jiang Donghua fluttered in Hong Ling's arms.
"Fight like hell!"
Hong Ling used a rare swear word.
"This is the peak of the fifth level, equivalent to human Peak Dou Wang! I'll hit you on the head?!"
"This herb may be the key to his breakthrough Dou Wang."
Escape!
The two of them walked one behind the other, running wildly through the dense forest.
Behind him, the demon lizard ran rampant, causing trees to collapse and the ground to crack in its path!
"Sister, senior sister! It's catching up!"
Jiang Donghua looked back and almost lost his mind.
Hong Ling gritted his teeth and threw out a few packets of powder from Storage Ring.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Thick smoke was everywhere, and the demon lizard temporarily lost its target and roared angrily.
"Let's go now!"
Hong Ling dragged Jiang Donghua, quickly changed direction, and swept towards the valley on the other side.
