In the deep night, a crescent moon hangs lonely in the night sky, like a cold silver plate, pouring down its cold brilliance.
In the dark forest, it seemed that some ferocious beast roars could be heard vaguely.
A bright bonfire danced gently, its light creating a warm halo in the darkness, injecting a pulse of life into the quiet night.
Beside the campfire, a young man was leaning against a tree trunk, playing with the flames boredly with the fire stick in his hand.
Under the tree on the side, a middle-aged monk sat cross-legged, his cold face like cold jade that had been baptized by the years, showing a thoughtful expression.
Pei Hongjing held her chin with one hand, looked at the bonfire, and asked boredly:
"Brother, we have been out for the seventh day, why haven’t we arrived in that city yet?"
The voice had a trace of laziness, like a kitten that had just woken up, a little confused and a little cute.
After hearing the question, Pei Hongyi slowly raised his head. His eyes were as cold as cold stars, but there was a hint of deep sadness in them. Looking forward to it, he said in a deep voice:
"According to the route on the map, Tuocang City is right in front of us. If nothing else happens, we will arrive there tomorrow"
【Si hour (9 a.m. to 11 a.m.)】
"Why! ? Really?"
Pei Hongjing looked at her elder brother expectantly, his voice full of surprise.
"That's great. All we have seen in the past few days are barren mountains and ridges. We can only sleep on the cold ground. It makes me sick to death."
"Moreover, when they were hungry they could only eat the dry food they brought with them, and when they were thirsty they could only drink water from the mountain streams, leaving no taste at all in their mouths."
The resentment in his tone was very strong, which showed that he had been very uncomfortable these past few days.
He had been looking forward to arriving at the destination as soon as possible, where he would have the soft bed and fresh food that he had longed for.
Pei Hongyi heard his brother's words He complained, smiled faintly, ignored him, and continued to meditate.
Of course he knew in his heart that for a young man like Xiao Jing, such an ascetic life was definitely a torment.
"Okay, stop complaining!"
"Have you ever stopped talking in the past few days?
Under the foreheads of the two brothers, the golden talisman patterns seemed real and illusory, and Xiao Tangyuan's impatient voice came from them.
He will be annoyed to death by Jing Jing's bad words these days.
"If you want to survive in this world, this is what you must experience"
"Although painful, it will make you stronger and more mature. This journey is just a small episode in your spiritual life."
"If you can't even overcome this current difficulty, how can you achieve greater achievements in your future practice?"
"So, Jing boy, you now, immediately, immediately..."
"shut up——"
Pei Hongjing's face suddenly turned bitter.
"I know, I know, I was wrong!"........
Luanyun Stream is located in the north of Tuocang City. It has towering mountains and stretches for thousands of miles. There are many peaks and valleys. It is like a bottomless abyss, swallowing up all life.
Tuocang City is the first line of defense against monsters, and its strategic importance is self-evident.
In the city, there are four major foundation-building forces - the Lei family, the Wang family, the Yang family and the Xie family. Each family has monks who are in the late stage of foundation-building. Their power and majesty are unchallenged in the city.
However, the monster riots a few months ago brought a huge impact to this originally stable city.
The monsters poured into the city like a frenzy, destroying everything and killing everything. The ancestors of the Wang family and the Xie family unfortunately died, and the ancestors of the Lei family and the Yang family were also seriously injured.
Today, several months later, Tuocang City has still not emerged from the shadow of the monster riot.
"drive, drive..."
A thunderous sound of horse hooves came in the distance, galloping past the road, raising dust all over the sky.
In a moment, the sound of horse hooves turned into a distant black shadow and disappeared at the end of the road.
Half an hour later,
"Control~"
Pei Hongyi grabbed the reins tightly and pulled hard with his arms. The horse under him raised its head and let out a high-pitched neighing sound.
"Brother, we are finally here"
"Soft beds, fresh food, here I come!"
Pei Hongjing's excited shout attracted many people's strange looks, but they didn't pay attention to it. Her legs gently clamped the horse's belly, her pace was slow and steady, and the horse's hoof hit the ground, making a"tap" sound. The sound of the horse's body undulated slightly as the horse walked.
The city was getting closer and closer, the number of practitioners on the road gradually increased, and the scene in front of them became clearer.
However, as they approached, the expressions of the two brothers But it gradually became heavier.
Staring at the mottled blood stains remaining in the gaps in the city wall, every crack spread on the wall, and part of the wall even collapsed. The bricks and stones on the city wall were broken and scattered, showing a dilapidated scene..
It is conceivable that there must have been a bloody and crazy battle here before.
Even Pei Hongjing, who is usually very nervous, fell into silence at this moment. The relaxation and joy just now disappeared, and his eyes showed a kind of depth and solemnity that was different from usual..
Different from the words presented on paper in his previous life, if he had some illusions about cultivating immortals before, what was before him now was the most real world of cultivating immortals, with cruelty and bloodshed everywhere. He began to understand
, This world is not as beautiful as he imagined, but a life and death struggle.
Just as Pei Hongjing was immersed in deep thoughts, a warm big hand gently placed on his head.
Pei Hongjing raised his head and saw It’s the elder brother’s concerned eyes that
"It's okay, big brother is here for everything!"
A simple sentence made Pei Hongjing feel an inexplicable peace of mind.
"Um!"
A familiar smile filled his face again, and he responded warmly.
He knew that in this world full of cruelty and blood, as long as his elder brother was around, he would not be afraid of anything.
"Then let's go to the city!"
Pei Hongyi suggested. The two left their mounts, put the Qinglin Horse back into the spirit beast bag, and followed the crowd towards the city gate. The
Qinglin Horse is an early-stage first-order monster with a docile personality and excellent endurance and load-bearing capabilities. and speed, and can easily adapt to various terrains.
More importantly, it does not consume the spiritual power of the cultivator. You must know that in a dangerous wild environment, a little bit of spiritual power is very important.
Therefore, Qinglin Horses are a very valuable aid.
However, the price of such horses is quite high, with hundreds of spirit stones each. In addition, a certain amount of resources and energy must be invested in raising them.
For ordinary Qi training and casual cultivation, Qinglin Horses are definitely an unbearable expense.
The Pei family owns three horses in total. Considering this trip, Pei Hongyi brought one out to provide more protection and convenience for their brothers' journey.
