A breeze blew through the forest.
A tall figure in black robe appeared, blending into the night, standing quietly on the branch.
Shen Yi looked normal, but he felt a little uncomfortable.
If it wasn't because he left Qingzhou alone to slay demons for the first time after saying goodbye to Xiao Qiangwei, he actually quite liked to act alone.
His eyes swept across the vast forest.
It's like patrolling his own territory.
But now, he always felt that this territory that belonged to him was invaded by something else, and the instinctive displeasure was subtly affecting his mood.
"There can't be two tigers in one mountain?"
Shen Yi calmed down and found a reason for this strange feeling.
He pushed the Turtle Breathing Technique to its extreme, and then used all his strength to perform the Free and Easy Wind Riding Technique, and his body once again turned into a breeze and dissipated into the forest.
Plus the tiger's innate magical powers.
In Xitai Mountain, Shen Yi was like a man in an empty space, and no living creature could detect his passing.
Even though he was trying to hide his body, he still approached the area that Xiao Qiangwei pointed to at an extremely terrifying speed.
At this moment, the silver bell on the waist began to vibrate slightly.
A woman's extremely serious words came from inside.
"Stop first, I found something wrong, give me some time."
Shen Yi frowned slightly, but immediately stopped moving forward and his figure quietly disappeared from the spot.
He still attaches great importance to the reminders from his colleagues, especially a colleague who has a deep understanding of his own abilities.
Without much delay, news came from the silver bell again.
"I found the trace of the second demon king who had reached the perfect stage of Dan Condensation!"
Shen Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, recalling the strange mood changes before.
"The third one..."
This time, the news that was passed on was only half a sentence, and it was accompanied by the sound of the wind.
Just when Shen Yi's face was solemn, fortunately the next sound came.
"Leave Xitai Mountain first. The Demon King is targeting me. I'll tell you the details later." Even though the woman tried her best to appear calm, her voice still revealed her disordered breathing.
Shen Yi's fair face looked more and more indifferent, and he said concisely: "Location."
If there were only three demon kings at the perfect stage of Condensing Pills, even if he couldn't kill them all, at least he would be able to take Xiao Qiangwei away.
He drew out his straight ceremonial sword.
Without any hesitation, he directly mobilized the Heavenly Demon External Pill to activate the Free and Easy Wind Riding Technique. His speed increased several times again, turning into a gust of wind with a hint of scarlet that swept towards the direction he came from.
The silver bell on the waist was silent for a long time, and finally rang again.
His voice was extremely weak, but his words surprised Shen Yi a little.
"It's a trap... Come back soon... I'm safe now... The ruined temple on the top of the mountain..."
Although the woman looked like she was on her last breath and even the news was transmitted intermittently, her words were so certain that people couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Shen Yi had returned to the place where they had said goodbye before. He sheathed his sword and raised his eyebrows slightly.
How can I be safe when I haven't arrived yet?
Complaining secretly, he looked up towards the top of the mountain.
If the person opposite Yin Ling was not Xiao Qiangwei, he would really suspect that the other party was captured by a demon and was tricked here to get him over.
In such a huge demon mountain, even he couldn't guarantee any "safety".
This woman should still be trustworthy.
Shen Yi quickly checked his aura to make sure there was no leakage, and then put the Heavenly Demon External Pill in a state where it could be mobilized instantly. Even if he encountered danger, he could burst out with all his strength at the first moment.
Then we moved closer to the top of the mountain.
…
On the top of the mountain, there is an old dilapidated temple.
This is a trace left over from when Xitai Mountain was still under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou. Now it is already in ruins, with wind leaking in from all sides, revealing a touch of desolation.
The statue, with only half of its body left, stood diagonally on the broken altar, which was already covered with dust. There was no incense burner or offerings, only a pile of dead branches and leaves.
A figure in a black shirt sat quietly, with her soft hair simply tied behind her. She had a cool expression, and her eyes under her thick eyelashes were as calm as an ancient well.
Her delicate face, without any makeup, had natural features and skin as white as cream, but it looked a little pale against the backdrop of the bonfire.
His right palm rested lightly on his knee, his slender white fingertips gripping the wine jar, and his other hand gently soothed Xiao Qiangwei's forehead and smoothed her messy hair.
Under that palm as clean as white jade.
Xiao Qiangwei's disordered breathing gradually stabilized, and her expression became more peaceful. She actually fell into a baby-like sleep in the demon-infested Xitai Mountain.
It seems that as long as I can stay with this person, I will be safer than staying in the Qingzhou Demon Suppression Bureau.
After Xiao Qiangwei completely calmed down, the woman in black raised her eyes slightly and looked outside the ruined temple. Her voice was calm but did not make people feel offended.
"Come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was only a breeze outside.
After a long time, the young man showed up, walked in slowly, and sat down in the corner opposite the campfire... He subconsciously chose a place farthest away from the woman.
Shen Yi really didn't like getting close to someone who made him feel uneasy, but the other party found his hiding place at a glance, so it was probably not a coincidence.
There is no point in continuing the stalemate.
The ruined temple was extremely quiet, with only the crackling sound of the bonfire.
Neither of them seemed to be used to speaking first. The young man closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing, while the girl drank quietly.
The spicy smell in the wine jar was so strong that it could be smelled outside the dilapidated temple.
The clear wine flowed into the girl's lips, but it did not change the girl's expression at all. Only her unusually pale skin improved slightly.
She didn't put the wine jar down until it was empty. Then she turned her eyes to the young man in the distance, and her gaze lingered for a moment on the ink knife at his waist.
Without paying too much attention, some memories emerged in her eyes. She slowly withdrew the hand that comforted Xiao Qiangwei, then stood up and asked politely:
"I'm going to kill the monster, do you want to come?"
"What monster?" Shen Yi finally opened his eyes when he mentioned something that interested him.
"White Deer, and the demon kings it hired to ambush and kill me, I'm not sure how many there are, but it should be quite a few." The girl stood with her hands hanging down.
"So little information?" Shen Yi also stood up. The previous abnormality finally had an explanation.
The original plan was to hunt tigers, but now it seems that I have strayed into something else.
But no matter what it is, as long as it is related to demons, it makes no difference.
The only thing you need to know is whether you have the ability to participate.
"No news." The girl shook her head and explained briefly, "Because they should have escaped, but they didn't."
If you should have escaped but didn't, then you were ambushed.
It's a very simple truth.
"You knew that but you still went?" Shen Yi looked at the other person, feeling a little surprised.
"I know the location of the Howling Moon Demon King." The girl stretched out her hand, and then a thin silver needle appeared in her palm, and she sacrificed it.
The silver needle slowly hung in the air, protecting Xiao Qiangwei.
The moment it appeared, the temperature on the entire mountain top dropped suddenly, and a thin layer of frost instantly covered the statue. Only Xiao Qiangwei next to it was unaffected.
After doing this, she walked out of the dilapidated temple, leaving behind half a sentence.
"As long as it's gone, everything else is the same."
It seemed that she had just asked politely, and she didn't really care whether the young man wanted to come or not.
