Qin Luzhu fell asleep, but Zhang Chi did not sleep. Firstly, it was because he did not feel any tiredness, and secondly, he wanted to seize the time to understand his current physical condition. Although grandpa Xiang Tianxing passed on his spiritual power to him without reservation

, but now he is like a poor boy who suddenly inherited a wealth of millions, and he still doesn’t know how to spend it, how to spend the money to achieve the greatest value and exert the greatest effect.

Zhang Chi uses real fire to refine his body. While tempering his body, he can also heat Qin Luzhu. This nine-square-meter underground space is warm. Qin Luzhu sleeps particularly soundly in such an environment. The comfort of the environment is also second.

, the key is that with Zhang Chi by her side, you will feel safe enough.

Zhang Chi now has powerful spiritual energy in his body, and he has also mastered the method of energy conversion. The bottleneck that once troubled him in the past is no longer a problem, and he can easily overcome it. In a short period of time, he has completed the first step of tempering his bones.

The three realms are strong and soft, and the inner organs have also been tempered with full knowledge. The skin and flesh are about to break through to the third realm. It is estimated that after a few more exercises, I can break through the third realm of naughty flesh.

Immortal Zhang completed his body training and opened his eyes. His eyesight had obviously improved significantly. Even in the dim underground, he could see the surrounding details clearly. His eyes fell on Qin Luzhu's pretty face and he saw

She looked so deep in sleep that she couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Zhang Chi had no intention of disturbing Qin Luzhu's sleep. Qin Luzhu had not had a good rest during this journey. After all, her physique was not as good as his own. Zhang Chi wanted to lie down next to Qin Luzhu, but suddenly he heard a faint sound in his ears.

Conversation sounds.

He was startled and convinced that he heard correctly. The location they were currently in was about five meters underground. Logically speaking, they could isolate the sound from above. It should be because his hearing had also improved. Zhang Chi soon realized that it was not just his hearing.

Because the sound is transmitted along the roots of the tree.

Someone was leaning on a tree trunk on the ground, so their conversation was conducted along the trunk to the roots.

Zhang Chi quietly came to the root of the tree and listened attentively. As expected, he heard it more clearly.

"Xiao Hongying, don't be sad anymore. I believe Mr. Sun is alive in heaven and I hope you are safe and sound..."

Zhang Chi secretly marveled, what a coincidence, he didn't expect to meet Chu Jianghe and Xiao Hongying here. The two of them escaped from the ruins of the holy city and happened to escape here. However, the Sword Thorn Forest is so big that they can be in front of the same tree.

The chance of encountering them is also very slim.

Xiao Hongying was originally determined to stay and advance together with her grandfather, but Chu Jianghe took her unawares and knocked her unconscious. When she woke up, she had already entered the Sword Thorn Forest. Xiao Hongying could not accept the fact that she left her grandfather and escaped alone.

So I washed my face with tears.

Chu Jianghe actually did not see Lao Suntou being killed with his own eyes, but he thought that Lao Suntou must be in danger.

Xiao Hongying sobbed and said: "Brother Chu, why don't you save... my grandfather..."

Chu Jianghe sighed and said: "It's not that I didn't save him, but under the circumstances, Mr. Sun risked his life to stop He Donglai in order to give us a chance to leave. Of course I wanted to save him, and I wished I could live and die with him."

, but if I stay, who else can save you? Do we want all of us to die together?" He said plausibly.

Zhang Chi secretly scolded Chu Jianghe for not being a good guy, coveting life and fearing death, and deceiving an ignorant girl with such shameless lies.

At this time, Qin Luzhu also woke up and came to him, imitating him to lie on the roots of the tree and listen to what was going on outside.

Xiao Hongying said with tears in her eyes: "Brother Chu, I want to go back and have a look. Maybe... maybe my grandfather can escape?"

Chu Jianghe shook his head and said: "Don't be stupid, your grandfather..." He sighed and said: "Xiao Hongying, Mr. Sun entrusted me to take care of you. I promised him that he will be responsible to the end."

Xiao Hongying said: "I don't want you to take care of me. I can take care of myself." She twisted her shoulders, got rid of Chu Jianghe's hands, wiped away her tears and stood up and said: "No matter what you choose, I will go back.

.”

Chu Jianghe said: "Your grandfather is dead!"

When Xiao Hongying heard what he said, she burst into tears.

When Qin Luzhu heard this, he was filled with indignation. He wished he could rush out and grab Chu Jianghe and beat him up. This guy was really shameless. Old Sun Tou was not dead at that time. Wasn't he greedy for life and left Old Sun Tou and ran away? Now

He also said that Lao Suntou was dead, and he had not seen it with his own eyes, so why did he say it so calmly? What's more, if it weren't for him, Lao Suntou and the others would not have followed him to the ruins of the Holy City for adventure.

Chu Jianghe reached out and hugged Xiao Hongying, and said softly: "Don't be sad, everyone is mortal. Mr. Sun chose to stay at all costs to protect you from escaping. He will fight to the end with He Donglai. You must not let him down."

It’s a lot of hard work from the old man.”

Xiao Hongying said tremblingly: "I no longer have any relatives."

"Silly girl, I am your relative. Didn't you say you wanted to go to my hometown with me to see it? Can I take you back?"

Xiao Hongying raised her head and looked at the Chu River with tearful eyes: "Really?"

Chu Jianghe said: "Of course it is true. I have never lied to you. However, there is one more thing to do before we go there."

Xiao Hongying asked: "What's the matter?"

Chujiang Hedao: "Retrieve the Demon-Suppressing Pearl."

Xiao Hongying said: "But how to retrieve the Demon Suppressing Pearl?"

Chu Jianghe said: "We hurry up and go to Hunting Wind Valley. It should be too late."

Little Hongying said: "Hunting Wind Valley?"

Chu Jianghe said: "Only from Hunterwind Valley can I activate the teleportation array to return to my hometown."

Zhang Chi secretly laughed at Chu Jianghe's ignorance. He didn't necessarily have to go to Hunting Wind Valley if he wanted to go back, but then he thought about it. If Chu Jianghe came with a purpose, then he should have a way to go back. He Donglai took them from there last time.

After Hunter Wind Valley left, it was only natural for Chu Jianghe to have such thoughts.

Xiao Hongying said: "Brother Chu, do you mean that the one who stole the Demon-Suppressing Pearl was one of your own?"

Chu Jianghe nodded and said, "It's either Zhang Chi or Cao Chengguang."

Zhang Chi heard that he actually framed him, and secretly scolded this guy for judging a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart. His original purpose of going to the ruins of the Holy City was to prevent He Donglai and Qin Junshi from entering, but now he understands that this matter started from the beginning.

Someone had planned it from the beginning. Both Cao Chengguang and Chu Jianghe had ulterior motives. Qin Junqing had blackmailed herself and asked for help in making elixirs. It was all a ruse, just to cover up her true purpose.

Zhang Chi did not tell Qin Luzhu these things. He did not want Qin Luzhu to be sad, nor did he want to destroy Qin Junqing's image in her heart. After all, Qin Junqing was her mother. When many doubts focused on Qin Junqing, Zhang Chi thought again

He has discovered something that makes him extremely scared when he thinks about it carefully. When he leaves here, he must confirm it.

Xiao Hongying said: "It's impossible for Brother Zhang to do such a thing. It should be Cao Chengguang. There are traces of Earth Escape in the ruins."

Zhang Chi was very pleased, Xiao Hongying still believed in her own character.

Chu Jianghe and Xiao Hongying left two hours later. Knowing where they were going, there was no need to follow them.

Zhang Chi and Qin Luzhu returned to the ground and found that it was snowing outside. There were two pairs of footprints extending to the southeast. The footprints were one large and one small. They were obviously left by Chu Jianghe and Xiao Hongying. Qin Luzhu sighed and said

: "Chu Jianghe is really disgusting, he actually deceived such an innocent little girl."

Zhang Chi said: "In that situation, they couldn't help if they stayed. I don't think Chu Jianghe had any ill intentions towards Xiao Hongying." He still remembered that Chu Jianghe did not hesitate to fight with the slave traders in order to rescue Xiao Hongying.

The thing is, even a treacherous and evil person still has a good part in his heart. Maybe Chu Jianghe has good thoughts towards Xiao Hongying.

The two of them headed in the direction of Liefeng Valley. Since Chu Jianghe could think of leaving from Liefeng Valley, Cao Chengguang should also be able to.

Because of the snowstorm, Chu Jianghe and Xiao Hongying slowed down their movements, and they left clear footprints on the snow, which allowed Zhang Chi and the others to easily track their whereabouts.

When they entered the open snowy field in the center of the Sword Thorn Forest, the distance between them was already very close.

There are no big trees in this empty snowy field. This is because a fire once broke out in this area and burned a large number of trees, which resulted in the current situation. Qin Luzhu took out his telescope and looked ahead. He could see in his field of vision

The two figures walked hard against the wind and snow.

Qin Luzhu handed the binoculars to Zhang Chi and said softly: "Are we going to follow him all the time?"

Zhang Chi shook his head and said: "Go around, surpass them, and arrive at Hunter Wind Valley as soon as possible. The faster, the better." His goal was not Chu Jianghe but Cao Chengguang. According to Chu Jianghe and the others' current moving speed, they would probably arrive at Hunter Valley.

It will take ten days. Time is extremely precious to them. Only by intercepting Cao Chengguang before he leaves Netherworld Ruins can they hope to regain the Demon Suppressing Pearl. If Cao Chengguang leaves smoothly and hands the Demon Suppressing Pearl to Xie Zhongjun, they may try to reverse the situation again.

The situation is difficult.

Zhang Chi returned the telescope to Qin Luzhu, and Qin Luzhu picked it up again, looked at it, and whispered: "Let's go around from the right. If we don't want to be discovered by them, we have to continue walking in the forest, and we may have to walk a little longer.

"

Zhang Chi smiled and said: "No need to go around, have you forgotten the dust-proof beads? We can overtake them from the ground."

Qin Luzhu said: "The energy of the dust-proof bead is also limited. If we use it endlessly, if the energy is exhausted, it will not be useful at the critical moment."

Zhang Chi couldn't help but laugh: "How can the treasures of heaven and earth be so pustular as you think? Just use them, even if we die, the energy in them will not be exhausted."

Just as Qin Luzhu disliked his unlucky words, she was suddenly attracted by another thing and exclaimed: "It's bad, they are being targeted." She found that hundreds of Nether warriors were outflanking them from the forests on both sides.

Because they were in a high position and had telescopes in their hands, they could see clearly. However, Chu Jianghe and Xiao Hongying, who were already surrounded, were still unaware.

Zhang Chi frowned.

Qin Luzhu said: "What should I do?"

Zhang Chi said: "We can only save people first."

Chu Jianghe and Xiao Hongying had arrived at the center of the snowy field. The place was open and lacked concealment, making it easy to expose their whereabouts. The two of them were also very careful. Chu Jianghe suddenly stopped. He heard something coming from the woods on both sides.

the sound of.

Chu Jianghe took off his long bow, bent the bow and nocked an arrow, and shot an arrow into the forest. The arrow hit the chest of a Netherworld warrior. The Netherworld warrior was shot to the ground and then quickly got up. Hundreds of Netherworld warriors followed him.

There were swarms of people coming out of the forest on both sides.

Chu Jianghe yelled: "Xiao Hongying, hide first."

Xiao Hongying is a member of the Chongmu clan. She also has the ability to escape from the ground. However, there is snow and ice under their feet. Below the ice is frozen soil. Xiao Hongying has no ability to penetrate the ice. She pulled out

The two scimitars said: "Kill out together!"

Chu Jianghe nodded, and shot out a barrage of arrows in his hand. His archery skills were good, and his arrows were all missed. He had already shot seven Netherworld warriors before they approached, but the lethality of his arrows was obviously not enough. Those Netherworld warriors were

After the samurai was shot, he immediately continued to charge forward.
To be continued...
