But in the blink of an eye, her face changed, and an apology appeared on her face. She stretched out her right hand and touched the forehead of Hu Tao'er, who was half a head shorter than her and had rushed in front of her.
"Don't be angry. I really didn't know you were at the door, let alone testing the sword with you. It's getting dark, and if we really fight, we won't be able to go today!"
Hu Tao'er was so angry that her fangs were exposed, her sleeves had been rolled up, and she was about to give it a try when she was stopped by Xiao Yu's hand.
But she also felt that what Xiao Yu said made sense. The other party had been recovering her spiritual power in the tree house all afternoon. She was originally here to urge her to go, but she almost sacrificed her sword without thinking.
But if her anger was not vented, she would feel uncomfortable, so she punched Xiao Yu's hand aside, pouted, stared, and put her hands into fists by her side.
Somehow, Xiao Yu thought Hu Taoer looked very cute like a child!
"Okay... why don't you hang a bell next time, and I'll know when you come in again."
Xiao Yu comforted her and stretched out her hand towards Hu Taoer's head, trying to smooth her hair like the old tree. Moreover, she had wanted to do this for a long time.
But Hu Taoer still ignored her, as if she was trying to digest her emotions and avoid exploding. After all, we still had to do big things together tonight.
Seeing Hu Tao'er like this, Xiao Yu curled her lips, raised her eyebrows, and took a few steps back. She glanced at the cliff to the north. After confirming that nothing was wrong, she stretched out her right hand in front of the two of them, and spread her fingers.
, a black hole half a man's height appeared in front of the two of them.
Black holes are smaller and harder to detect.
As soon as the black hole appeared, Hu Taoer's eyes lit up instantly! The anger just now disappeared, and her face was filled with uncontrollable excitement. And Xiao Yu took advantage of the situation and spread his hands towards the black hole, making a "please" gesture.
Hu Tao'er was so excited that she ran over and was about to dive in. But as soon as she raised her left foot, she saw Xiao Yu's evil smile. This smile scared her and she quickly retracted her foot.
"you go first!"
As she said that, Hu Taoer moved back a little to make room for Xiao Yu, for fear that the other party would trick her. Xiao Yu, on the other hand, pretended to be helpless and stepped in first.
"We should be somewhere south of the center of Blind Mountain. Is that okay?"
Xiao Yu was half in the black hole, turned around and stuck out his little head and asked.
“It’s a bit off, but it’s safe.”
Hu Tao'er said, and then she got in with peace of mind.
At the same time, behind the northern cliff, Ji Xing was sitting alone in the Taoist altar. In front of him was a small virtual mirror, which reflected the scene in front of Xiao Yu's tree house.
The area around the futon he was sitting on was just like in Xiao Yu's tree house. The air was filled with floating ice dust and snowflakes. This was formed by the spiritual power left over from Xiao Yu's spell cast when he was in retreat here last night.
In the virtual mirror, he saw Xiao Yu and Hu Taoer sneaking into the black hole of the boundary gate, and then the black hole quickly shrank into a black spot, and finally disappeared under the night.
"Well... going out is indeed a lot more wild than before. Let's see what you are going to do this time..."
Ji Xing whispered to himself.
The virtual mirror flickered, and in an instant it was reflected in the dense forest deep in Blind Mountain.
As expected, the soul will never return. In the depths of the dense forest, even though the moon was high in the sky, there was almost no light coming through the forest.
In the dark forest, a black hole quietly opened. Xiao Yu and Hu Taoer fell from the black hole and landed on a very tall tree. The branches were lush, the trunk was strong, and it grew straight into the sky.
At this time, they landed on a thick branch branched from the main trunk, looking around in the dark night, sometimes looking down, holding their breath, paying attention to every breath around them.
This other world was still too strange and bizarre for Xiao Yu. When she looked to the west, even though her senses were turned on, she found that there were few lights in this other world after nightfall.
Only the few countries where the human race is located have a few scattered lights. It doesn’t take much to know that places where people have fun at midnight naturally have to be brightly lit.
In the Huoli Kingdom to the northwest of the soul, there was an extremely bright light. Through his senses, Xiao Yu saw the familiar four-cornered tall building.
She stared there for a while, sighed, and then gently fell from the tree together with Hu Taoer. Their figures blended into the dark night, and they could not be spotted unless they looked carefully.
After two years of absence, Hu Taoer finally stepped on the soft soil again.
"Shh..."
As soon as the two landed, Hu Taoer reminded Xiao Yu to be silent.
The place where they landed at this time was exactly south of the center of the Blind Mountain and north of the gray barrier, which was near the territory of the Great Demon King.
"Let's go north first to pick up something, and then come back to give the Great Demon King a gift."
Hu Tao'er whispered in Xiao Yu's ear in a voice that only the two of them could hear. Then, she jumped up towards a tree in the north, turned around and waved to Xiao Yu, gesturing for her to follow.
.
And Xiao Yu also stepped forward, jumped up, and came to her side.
"Go get what?"
Xiao Yu asked softly.
Hu Taoer smiled mysteriously at Xiao Yu.
"baby!"
With that said, he started to lead Xiao Yu towards the north.
"We try to stay in the tree and don't fall to the ground. There are too many strange things on the ground, and they might crawl up our laps at some point. Eh...it makes me sick just thinking about it!"
As they walked, Hu Taoer kept talking. Xiao Yu's legs felt uncomfortable when he heard these words, and he looked at the dark land under the tree from time to time.
At this time, Xiao Yu had opened all her senses and maximized her vision. Somehow, although she knew that Xiaoliu had been here before, just now, when her feet landed on the land where the soul had not returned, there was an indescribable feeling.
of discomfort.
The kind of fear that penetrates from the heart is like being forced into a huge tomb. It is blinding, chest tight and suffocating, which makes people not want to stay for a moment.
It was already late at night, and from time to time there were sounds of wild beasts fighting in the soul, and strange whimpering occasionally came from behind. If I hadn't known that this was a human race, I would have thought that I was in a ghost forest.
Speaking of this, this place is also a strange place. The woodland stretches for hundreds of miles. Most of the outer areas are places where humans hunt and survive, while the middle part within a radius of a hundred miles is inhabited by many strange beasts and monsters.
Today, Xiao Yu and Hu Tao'er are located slightly south of this central part. But they are heading to the central territory where their souls have never returned, crossing this place and heading north. And there, Hu Tao'er told Xiao Yu that there was a nine-story
He is a great demon who has cultivated himself to the ninth level a few years ago.
This big demon is the target of Xiao Yu and the others this time.
A third-level demon clan and a human cultivator in the middle stage of Yuancheng were like two phantoms, shuttling through the invisible center, trying their best to hide their auras.
Tonight, none of them want to be food.
The forest was so dense that light from the outside could hardly shine in, and their figures were well concealed.
The two of them were moving very fast, and the trees under their feet were tall and strong. No matter how hard they stepped on them, they would only be slightly shaken, and then calm down the next moment.
Among them, some trees also exude bursts of strange energy. This energy is not like ordinary spiritual power, nor is it demonic power. It is more like a strange energy that has been growing in the dark for too long, with a cold feeling.
A few dozen miles away, in the blink of an eye, Hu Taoer's footsteps stopped under a towering tree. Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yu also came to Hu Taoer's side.
This tree grows wildly towards the sky. It is unusually tall and towers dozens of feet into the sky. Its branches and leaves are like giant umbrellas, covering the sky and the earth. The trunk is so thick that ten adults may not be able to surround it. What is even more terrifying is that the tree is constantly emitting odors.
Intense demonic power.
This demonic power showed a dark color in Xiao Yu's sense consciousness, overflowing from the trunk of the giant tree like thick ink and spreading to all directions. Xiao Yu felt a chill when he was in it.
She always felt that the tree was staring at her.
Around this demonic tree, there was no living thing in a large area, and even the thin trees that originally grew in the same place died there as if their nutrients had been sucked dry.
Hu Tao'er told Xiao Yu that the tree was called the Moonwood Demon, and it had been standing for thousands of years. It was a spiritual tree, and if it hadn't been for the weak spiritual power of the human race, it would have grown into an adult.
On the ground around the Moon Wood Demon, there were many long and thin things piled up randomly, and Hu Taoer's purpose of coming here was just these things.
Hu Taoer walked towards the demon tree, stared at the tree for a while, and then started to pick up things on the ground. When Xiao Yu saw this, he quickly ran over.
"What are these?"
Xiao Yu asked in a low voice, but Hu Tao'er didn't seem to hear it. As he said that, Xiao Yu also picked up one. Only when he held it in his hand did he realize that these things that were longer than a person's height turned out to be black thorns.
!
The black thorn was extremely cold in the hand, and it had a strong and strange aura. Xiao Yu had never seen it before. However, although the black thorn was very thick and long, the end was so sharp that it could stab someone with just a slight push.
wear.
But what is extremely incompatible with the appearance of this black thorn is that this black thorn is actually very light, holding it in your hand like a twig, without any burden.
Hu Tao'er had already picked up a lot of them, and walked towards Xiao Yu holding the pile of black thorns in her arms. She stared at the one in Xiao Yu's hand, showing disgust.
"The one in your hand is too soft and useless. Throw it away. These are enough."
After finishing speaking, Hu Tao'er hugged the pile of thick and long black thorns, found an open space, and neatly piled the black thorns together, forming a triangle when viewed from the side.
After finishing, she squatted down and put her hands on it. A weak demonic power flowed towards the pile of black thorns in her hands. And her spell seemed to have strange power. The pile of black thorns quickly dissolved and solidified under her spell, and actually synthesized.
Got one!
In the senses, the black thorn is extremely thick and the end is extremely sharp. Although there is not much light here, there is still a cold light flickering.
Xiao Yu unconsciously guessed, could this be the weapon used to kill the ninth-level demon?
