night.

Quiet mountain forest.

I can't see my fingers.

All you can hear is the faint chirping of birds, beasts and insects.

Creak, creak.

A large red-eyed jackrabbit poked its head out from the rotten leaves and looked around warily.

After repeatedly confirming that there was no danger, it carefully got out of the nest.

It wiggled its nose vigorously and jumped quickly in the direction that smelled of food.

"call out--"

A harsh sound broke through the air suddenly.

The red-eyed long-eared rabbit only had time to let out a sharp neigh before it lost its breath and collapsed.

A black shadow appeared next to the corpse of the monster like a ghost, stretched out a thick palm to catch the long ear, and then dragged the entire monster away effortlessly.

It didn't take long before it disappeared deep into the jungle.

When Xu Yi and Lu Zaiye heard the noise and rushed over, they only saw a small pool of blood.

"It's the blood of monsters."

"It should be other monks hunting."

The two said at the same time.

Xu Yi nodded, with a look of tiredness that could not be concealed on his face.

The monk's field of vision was not affected by light. Lu Zaiye caught a glimpse of her expression and suggested: "Find a place to rest first."

"good."

The two found an ancient tree nearby and dug two holes in its belly to use as a resting place.

After Xu Yi went into the tree hole and lay down, her mind was relaxed and she almost couldn't hold back a long sigh. Fortunately, her eyes quickly covered her mouth with her hands, so she didn't embarrass herself in front of her disciples.

It has been almost a month since she and Lu Zaiye entered Ten Thousand Demon Ridge.

Xu Yi was high-spirited and energetic at the beginning, but now he is just tired.

Wan Yaoling is indeed a famous killing place in the Kyushu Continent.

They encountered an ambush on the first day they entered Ten Thousand Demon Ridge.

Those who ambushed them were not monsters, but monks covered in blood.

The way they looked at Xu Yi and the two of them was like looking at monsters, full of greed and covetousness.

That battle was Xu Yi's first life-and-death struggle with a monk, and it was also her first time to kill someone.

The scene of blood and flesh flying around shocked her, and she was almost killed. If Lu Zaiye hadn't taken action in time, she would have had a hole in her body now.

It was also because of this accident that Xu Yi quickly came to his senses, forced himself to calm down, and together with Lu Zaiye, left these people here forever.

After the bloody battle ended, before she had time to adjust her mentality, she soon encountered another monster attracted by the bloody smell.

They killed and ran all the way, and finally got rid of those monsters and got a chance to breathe.

Xu Yi was lying in the tree hole, and she no longer had the energy to think. She just wanted to take a good rest, just for a while.

She closed her eyes and her breath gradually became longer.

Even though Lu Zaiye was sitting cross-legged in a tree hole, he remained calm and composed. He noticed that the atmosphere around him was getting calmer and calmer, and his eyes became gentler.

Crisis moments best reflect people's true psychology.

Xu Yi's growth from being uncomfortable to being calm and self-possessed was all seen by him.

He was now able to conclude that Xu Yi's identity was not false.

The fact that Patriarch Yuan Ming could choose Xu Yi as his disciple is enough to prove Xu Yi's excellence.

Xu Yi's performance in the past month also allowed him to see her excellence.

Lu Zaiye felt guilty for his previous doubts.

Maybe, he should find a time to reveal his identity to the young master.

As the thoughts came together, Lu Zaiye frowned uncomfortably.

The young master will definitely be angry when he finds out about this, and maybe he will refuse to go with him in the future.

The matter with the Tiantian Alliance has not yet been resolved, so Lu Zaiye is worried about letting the young master travel alone.

It's better to wait until the tour is over, return to Xuanji Gate, and apologize to the young master.

Lu Zaiye's brows couldn't help but slowly relax.

The second day.

Xu Yi woke up from the tree hole, feeling sore all over.

She took out a medium-grade spiritual stone and held it in the palm of her hand, absorbing the spiritual energy inside and circulating it in her body for several days.

When the spiritual power of the spiritual stone in her hand was exhausted and turned into stone powder, she came out of the tree hole feeling refreshed.

As soon as she landed, Lu Zaiye jumped down from the tree.

Xu Yi said to Lu Zaiye with some embarrassment: "I worked hard on you last night."

Wanyao Ridge at night is more dangerous than during the day.

She fell asleep unknowingly yesterday, and Lu Zaiye couldn't rest. He kept watch all night to prevent monsters from attacking.

Lu Zaiye said: "Nothing, this is what a disciple should do."

He is not tired.

Except for the past few days, when Xu Yi had not yet adapted, he took action a few times, but most of the time it was Xu Yi who solved the problem himself.

After a battle, Xu Yi was so exhausted that he was panting heavily and in a state of embarrassment. He had not even used his magic weapon a few times.

I can only say that Xu Yi is a very competent master.

Xu Yi was moved to tears by Lu Zaiye's words.

She silently wrote down Xiao Lu's advantages in a small notebook in her mind, and decided to praise him in front of Elder Qingfeng when she returned to Xuanji Sect.

Such a good disciple should be cherished.

The most important thing now is to improve yourself.

Xu Yi pointed to the southeast and said, "I just saw that there seems to be a water source there. Let's go there."

Where there is water, there are monsters.

Xu Yi thought about the monster corpse covered in treasures in the storage ring, his eyes glowing.

Monsters are good.

It can be eaten, used to refine weapons and elixirs, and can also be used as a whetstone to hone oneself. Xu Yi now has no objection at all to encountering monsters again.

Lu Zaiye remembered that no matter how tired Xu Yi was, he would not forget to collect the mutilated corpses of the monsters one by one, even the blood of the monsters, and he couldn't help but feel compassion.

The life before the little master was too hard.

After he returns, he can let her go into his private treasury and select things as his apology.

"good."

Since the young master likes monsters, they will kill monsters.

Xu Yi and Lu Zaiye reached an agreement, the wind blew under their feet, and they quickly approached the water source.

…

By the stream.

Xiong Zhuangzhuang lurked behind a boulder, staring closely at a spotted deer approaching the stream.

Close.

Closer.

Just when his lower body was sinking, ready to pounce, the sound transmission disk at his waist suddenly vibrated with a buzzing sound.

He secretly yelled that it was not good.

When I looked up, I saw that the spotted deer had already run away vigilantly.

"Pity."

He lowered his head and murmured, placing the sound-transmitting disk next to his ear, but there was no trace of displeasure at being disturbed on his face.

In the sound transmission disk, junior sister's anxious and concerned voice kept coming from inside.

Xiong Zhuangzhuang grinned, revealing a simple and honest smile.

After the sound disappeared, he listened to it over and over again, and then carefully hung the sound transmission plate back to his waist.

He could have turned off the sound transmission plate and searched for the Resurrection Demon Fruit in Ten Thousand Demon Ridge without any distractions.

But he still wanted to hear news about his junior sister and master.

Even if he can't reply, he can still know the other person's condition, which will make him feel more at ease.

He glanced at the direction the deer had left, changed his position and hid, waiting for the next prey to approach.

He has observed before that this is the largest water source nearby, and there will definitely be monsters coming.

He just needs to be patient and wait.
