Chapter 53: Penance

Nie Fan dealt with the pursuers in the capital, carried the Seven Kills Sword on his back, and walked south calmly.

This time he did not take a car, but traveled to places with high mountains and dense forests.

During the day, he would look for some medicinal herbs, and at night he would meditate and practice, just like he was in the world of cultivation. However, the earth was much poorer than the world of cultivation, and there was a lack of spiritual energy. He did not look for spiritual herbs that would help him for five or six days, and entered the realm.

Also very slow.

"Is this Baicao Ling?" Nie Fan stood on the rock wall of a mountain peak. From the crack in the stone, he put a piece of grass with five small flowers in front of his eyes and looked at it. Because of the pollution of the earth, many herbs have changed, which is different from the world of cultivation.

There are many differences.

Seeing many familiar features, Nie Fan put the herbs into the ring and was about to turn around to continue searching when he suddenly turned his head and looked down the mountain.

Not far from here, I saw a group of three men and two women, all dressed in equipment and carrying large and small bags, walking gracefully towards the mountain from a small road.

Nie Fan stood so high that any interested person could spot him by looking up. Nie Fan frowned slightly, turned around and jumped down from the mountain peak.

Woof woof woof~

As soon as Nie Fan jumped down, four or five wild dogs rushed over, their heads stretched out, their eyes glowing green, drooling from the corners of their mouths, and their sharp white teeth flashing with cold light.

Nie Fan flicked his index finger, and tiny bolts of lightning struck the eyebrows of these wild dogs. The barking wild dogs fell to the ground one after another.

Nie Fan walked towards the mountain without even looking.

Although he doesn't know what kind of place Lotus Temple is, he also knows that with his current cultivation level, he is not qualified to be noticed by others. He must break through to the third level of Qi training before arriving at Kunlun Mountain.

, only in this way can we at least have a chance to talk to Lotus Temple!

"Professor, are there any wild dogs in the mountains?" Among the group of people, a 19-year-old boy who looked like a college student trembled when he heard the barking of dogs from the mountains. He faced forward, with gray hair on his temples and a middle-aged face.

The person asked in a low voice.

"Han Xiang, we are studying minerals. We will inevitably have to enter some deep mountains and old forests. You are not a coward." The professor in front did not speak. A male classmate wearing glasses in front of him pushed up his glasses, looked at him and said with a smile.

.

"Yeah, if you are so timid, how can you chase girls in the future..." A female classmate with long hair and slender eyes in front of them looked back at the first person to speak, 'Han Xiang', and said with an ambiguous smile.

Guo Haoxiang's face turned red as he was squeezed by the two people, and he mumbled, not knowing how to answer.

"Okay, don't scare Han Xiang." The ponytail girl who was following the professor looked back at the three of them, with a quiet look on her face, and said with a smile: "It's normal for some wild dogs in the mountains, but don't worry, the professor and I will

I've been here several times and know how to deal with them."

When Guo Haoxiang saw the girl who turned around, his face turned red again, but he held on and said, "Ning Xue, I'm not afraid, I'm just... asking."

Zhao Hecheng, who was wearing glasses, watched Ning Xue turn around, looking at that fresh and elegant smile, a pure smile that seemed to have disappeared in the world, a trace of heat flashed in his eyes, he pushed up his glasses, and made a gesture to Ning Xue

A rather reserved, confident and calm smile.

Hao Yanmei, who had been smiling ambiguously just now, saw that Ning Xue had stopped the two of them with just one word. She glanced at Ning Xue with cold eyes and turned to follow the pace of the professor.

The conversation just now was like an interlude, and the five people walked up the path again.

"Stop." Not long after they left, the professor walking in front suddenly raised his hand and said.

Everyone was stunned and looked up one after another.

"Is this the wild dog that was barked just now?" Hao Yanmei said with a look of surprise on her face.

Zhao Hecheng looked at the five wild dogs lying there through his glasses, nodded and said: "It should be, the distance is about the same." After saying that, he turned to Guo Hanxiang: "Hanxiang, go up and have a look."

Guo Hanxiang was stunned. He didn't expect that Zhao Hecheng would suddenly call his name, but the wild dog lying on the ground not far ahead was not sure whether it was sleeping or not. His face turned slightly pale.

"Hanxiang, are you afraid?" Hao Yanmei tilted her head slightly and looked at Guo Hanxiang with a narrow smile.

"Who said that?" When Guo Hanxiang saw Ning Xue turning to look at him, he immediately puffed up his chest and said, "It's just a few dead dogs."

Without waiting for anyone to say anything, he took a cane in his hand and strode towards the wild dogs lying on the ground.

Ning Xue looked at Guo Hanxiang's cautious look, with a hint of worry on her face, and turned to look at the professor beside her.

The professor kept staring at those wild dogs. If there were only four or five, it wouldn't be scary. But these wild dogs usually live in groups of more than a dozen. If these five attract more wild dogs, then the five of them will

People are in trouble.

"Don't worry, they may really be dead." The professor looked at the five wild dogs and whispered. He keenly noticed that these wild dogs were lying in the wrong place, with ugly postures, and they were motionless. It was not like they were sleeping at all.

With.

Ning Xue nodded slightly and stared at Guo Hanxiang with a slightly worried look on her face.

Several other people also held their breaths. This was not a joke just now. If these wild dogs were really alive, they would be in danger, and they might really become their meal.

Guo Hanxiang stepped forward cautiously, holding the cane tightly in his hand. In order not to show timidity in front of the goddess, even though his legs were shaking, his face was pale, and his eyes were full of fear, he still walked tremblingly towards the nearest wild dog.

.

Dangdangdang

When he was about three to five steps away from the nearest wild dog, Guo Hanxiang's whole body tensed up and he gently tapped a rock in front of him twice with his cane.

None of the five wild animals moved or reacted at all.

Guo Hanxiang took a breath quietly, opened his eyes wide and looked at the wild dogs not far away in front of him, then slowly took a step forward, and with the other end of the cane, he carefully knocked on the drooping head of the wild dog lying there.

boom

Guo Hanxiang knocked, his heart in his throat, but the wild dog didn't respond.

Guo Hanxiang raised his head slightly, looked at the wild dog's face, and saw that it was still sleeping. He knocked again, but the wild dog still didn't respond.

"Probably dead." The professor said solemnly.

Several other people also nodded, but no one came forward.

Guo Hanxiang became more courageous and knocked hard several times. Seeing that the wild dog didn't respond, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief and approached quietly with the cane in his hand.

Once I stood on the stone next to this wild dog, I could see several other wild dogs in full view.

"What is this?" Guo Hanxiang looked at the blood-red color between the eyebrows of the wild dog in front of him. He squatted down warily, put it under his nose and smelled it.

"It's blood." Guo Hanxiang's heart tightened, and he turned to look at the other dogs, and sure enough he found that they all had such blood stains on their eyebrows.

Guo Hanxiang didn't know where he got the confidence. He quickly stood up and strode towards the other wild dogs with a cane in hand.

"Hanxiang, be careful." Ning Xue couldn't help but shout when she saw Guo Hanxiang striding toward several wild dogs in front of him.

Guo Hanxiang turned a deaf ear and walked up to the wild dogs in front. As before, he tried to hit them with his cane. Sure enough, he found that these wild dogs were already dead.
