One black and one white, one bright and one dark, between the sun and the moon, half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
During this half month, Chen Yi and his group continued to move towards the Black Wind Mountain Range. The Black Wind Mountain Range seemed to have no end, stretching as far as the eye could see with no edge in sight.
Still no purple-striped leopard was seen. According to Du Ye, there is only one purple-striped leopard in this area, and this leopard is elusive. It often sneaks into the mountains to steal some herbs. It is rare to encounter it. Back then, a group of them were looking for it.
It took a whole month to see the purple-striped leopard.
A lot of things happened in the past half month, and there were many dangers, but fortunately no one lost their life.
Wang Qingshan was one of them. When he left the team to pick herbs, he was attacked by a demon beast of Qi Gathering level and almost died. Fortunately, Du Ye found out in time and saved his life. But even so, Wang Qingshan was still dead.
One leg is obviously a big blow to the entire team.
The demonic beasts at the Qi Refining level have encountered three heads, but under the combined attacks of Du Ye and Chen Ming, they did not cause any substantial damage to the team. It is a pity that these two people also suffered a little bit of trouble. Now they are safe and sound.
Only Chen Yi was left.
Because Chen Yi only let everyone know about the strength of the First Qi Rank, he was not allowed to attack monsters in the deep mountains, so he was safe and sound.
Under the ferocious attack of the monsters, even after experiencing this kind of thing for many years, Du Ye was caught off guard. The package was lost, and there was no source of food and water. The disputes among the team became more intense, led by Chen Ming,
He angrily denounced Chen Yi for his incompetence, making him a burden to carry around.
Du Ye also tried his best to adjust to this. He came to hunt the Qi-refining level monsters, so he should have expected such a result. After all, the Qi-refining level monsters were not just purple leopards, and they would be attacked by other monsters.
It's also very normal.
During this period of time, Chen Yi played the role of a handyman very well, neither fighting nor fighting, just to gain more experience and understand the monster branch of the Black Wind Mountains, which would be helpful for him to enter the mountains to find the lightning ape.
Great benefit.
Obviously, this trip was not in vain. He did learn a lot from Du Ye, which allowed him to absorb it as a young boy who was going down the mountain for the first time, and he also had an essential understanding of the entire Black Wind Mountain Range.
Now everyone is in the territory of Qi Refining level monsters. After entering here, the frequency of encountering monsters is obviously much less. After staying here for ten days, they only encountered three Qi Refining monsters. What is embarrassing is that
, the purple-striped leopard was nowhere to be seen.
Even the experienced Du Ye couldn't find any clues, which made everyone start to feel discouraged.
"I think we should starve to death here before we encounter the purple-striped leopard." Chen Ming's face was gloomy, and he was dissatisfied with everyone present. Why should he, a powerful Qi Refining Level Qi Refiner, want to
Starving with two useless losers.
Du Ye sighed. This was not the first time he had tried to persuade Chen Ming, which made him a little irritable: "I said when I announced the task, there would be dangers, and I don't know how long it will take to complete it. You were not interested in it at the beginning.
Did you agree to it? Why are you complaining every day now?"
Chen Yi had long been accustomed to this scene. He sat next to Wang Qingshan and held the herbs for him according to Wang Qingshan's instructions.
"Huh, if it's just you and me, it's okay. Now I have a broken leg next to me, and I still have to eat and drink every day. How can you expect me to wait with you calmly?" Chen Ming patted his thigh and stood up.
He stood up and stared directly at Chen Yi gloomily.
The scene was awkward for a while, no one said anything, only the gusts of mountain wind and Wang Qingshan's slight moaning sound.
Shaking his head helplessly, Chen Yi also felt a little sorry for Du Ye and Wang Qingshan about this situation: "Brother Du Ye." Chen Yi gently attracted Du Ye's attention, and then said: "I'm leaving."
"Brother Chen Yi, don't worry. Since I, Du Ye, brought you in, I have the obligation to take you back. Chen Ming is just anxious for a moment." Although Du Ye doesn't like Chen Yi very much, he
But he does not allow himself to become a villain with no beginning and no tail. For the sake of his own life, he abandons his companions. This is something he cannot do even if he dies.
"If he wants to leave, just leave." Chen Ming laughed sadly: "After he leaves, it will be easier for us to provide food. It is enough to take a broken leg. I don't want to take a young master.
, this is not for visiting.”
Du Ye frowned and looked a little embarrassed. Chen Ming was right. Having one less burden around him would indeed increase his chances of survival, but asking him to give up a team member would be a big blow to his conscience.
condemnation.
Chen Yi has always been very calm in his heart. Strength is the greatest guarantee for a person's confidence. Chen Yi knows that with his strength, there will be no problem in protecting the entire team. But with Chen Ming here, I'm afraid he won't be able to wait until
If a monster attacks, their entire team will disperse, which is something he doesn't want to see.
Not to mention anything else, just talking about Du Ye's care for him these days, he didn't want to see Du Ye's team disperse.
Chen Yi understood that Chen Ming didn't like him. The main reason was that he was too weak. He just took this opportunity. If he couldn't be kicked out of the team, he would never give up. Then Du Ye would be in trouble again.
.
Wang Qingshan was already injured, so he struggled to move his body and cast an impulsive look at Chen Yi.
Chen Yi had a panoramic view of everyone's expressions, and sighed inwardly as he walked up to Du Ye, took out the remaining monster meat from his arms, and handed the two water bags on his body to Du Ye's hands.
Then he said: "Brother Du Ye, I am very grateful for your care these days. If there is need in the future, I will definitely help you."
Du Ye's face was livid, and the inner tangle made him unable to say a word at this moment, but Chen Ming said coldly behind Chen Yi: "Help? What can you, a young kid, do to help? Help us offend the Sword God Sect? Help us.
Share all the dry food? Or get an extra share of the bounty?"
"I don't agree!" At this time, Wang Qingshan finally got up and shouted feebly: "Chen Ming, brother Chen Yi is also very skilled. You are not in the best condition now. With him here, you can share more of the burden.
share."
Chen Ming was disdainful: "He can share the burden, but he is a Qi-refining monster. He was swallowed up before he could show off his tricks. If you really insist on keeping him here today, then fine, I'll go.
Chen Ming hasn’t lived enough yet!”
Du Ye's face became more and more ugly, and he clenched his fists. No matter what Chen Yi's strength was, now that he has been brought here, do he really want to let him fend for himself? With Chen Yi's skills, he can't even go back.
.
Chen Yi ignored the noisy Chen Ming at all and smiled faintly at Du Ye: "Brother Du Ye, you don't have to be embarrassed. I still know the way back."
"Chen Yi." Wang Qingshan shouted eagerly. He really regarded Chen Yi as a friend. Now that he saw Chen Yi leaving alone, he really couldn't bear it.
Chen Yi waved his hand: "I cherish you as a friend." After saying that, Du Ye looked at his face again: "Brother, I have learned a lot from you these days. Thank you very much. What Chen Ming said is right, the team is important
The most important thing is unity. If this team breaks up because of me, then I would be very sorry for you."
"But." Du Ziye was a little anxious. According to the overall situation, Chen Yi should indeed be allowed to leave, but according to his conscience, this was absolutely impossible.
"Believe me." Chen Yi smiled calmly: "This purple-striped leopard is elusive, so you should be more careful. I think I will be hovering in the Black Wind Mountains for a few days. If there is danger, I will definitely come to help."
"Chen Yi, I'll go with you!" Wang Qingshan glanced at Chen Ming angrily and limped towards Chen Yi.
Chen Yi waved his hand and said with a smile: "No, don't you want to avenge Brother Du Ye?" Hearing the sound, Wang Qingshan also started to struggle.
Now that the matter was over, there was no doubt that he would stay longer. Chen Yi nodded towards Du Ye, tapped his feet lightly, jumped on the treetops, and disappeared into the forest.
"You should have left long ago, you arrogant boy." Chen Ming looked at Chen Yi's back and insulted him with disdain.
(There will be another chapter in a moment. Alas, there are too many things going on at home, so I have used up all the manuscripts. I will stay up all night tonight and try to save a few chapters.)
