Chapter 14: The Shadow of Terror
The drizzle is coming, which is rare to put a light veil on this scorching earth, and it also makes some water-loving children happy.
Xing Xiaohao looked at the drizzle, not knowing what he was thinking. There was no teacher to attend the class today, so a few brave students jumped directly into the rain and enjoyed the silky, light rain falling on their cheeks, cold and comfortable.
After the rain, Ye Qingxian slowly pushed the wheelchair to the door of the classroom, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's time to come back to class when the rain stops." ”
A few people were stunned for a moment, and they didn't know what to do, so they heard Ye Qingxian say: "Why don't you go to the dormitory to change your clothes and rush back to class." ”
"Yes. Most of them were girls, sticking out their tongues and saying playfully.
Ye Qingxian stopped next to Xing Xiaohao and said, "What are you thinking?"
"The sky has changed. Xing Xiaohao kept looking ahead and didn't change his posture.
"The world is impermanent, and the sky has to change. Ye Qingxian chuckled.
"Yes and no. Xing Xiaohao also smiled: "Maybe the sky hasn't changed, and it's just people's hearts." ”
Ye Qingxian's eyebrows furrowed, and he lowered his voice and said: "You are still young, you don't need to be like this, no matter how the sky changes, it has nothing to do with you, although the greater the strength, the greater the responsibility, but if you hide, no one will blame you, why do you want to come here?" The last sentence was said, and Ye Qingxian's eyes were full of doubt.
Xing Xiaohao shook his head and said, "I don't know why I came here, obviously I was reckless but I was too busy." ”
After listening to Xing Xiaohao's words, Ye Qingxian's eyebrows stretched and returned to his previous smiling face. The two waited until those freshmen came back, and Ye Qingxian turned around and said, "Organize your things, come with me." ”
Everyone was puzzled, but they quickly sorted out their things and followed Ye Qingxian out of the classroom. Xing Xiaohao pointed to the most puzzled, and while pushing Ye Qingxian forward, he asked, "Aren't you going to class?"
Ye Qingxian knew Xing Xiaohao's situation and explained: "My class is not here, you will all be with me for the next three days, and we are going to sleep in the open, so we can't go back to the dormitory." ”
"Ahh Camping is no stranger to Xing Xiaohao, but it is like a "stranger" to others.
Everyone came to a grassland that could not be seen at a glance, because of the rain that had just fallen, the grassland was very green, and a drop of rain and dew was still left on the leaves.
Xing Xiaohao pushed Ye Qingxian to a place that looked like an intersection, only to hear Ye Qingxian say: "Old Gu, please open the 'door'." ”
Thinking that the old man appeared by his side when Ye Qingxian's words just fell, Xing Xiaohao didn't care, the few people behind Xing Xiaohao were obviously frightened, the old man glanced at Xing Xiaohao and closed his eyes, and with a wave of his right hand, he disappeared again.
"Let's go. Many people followed behind one after another in ignorance, the line was not neat, and the middle was prominent, causing this part of the students to "knock" into something.
"What is it?" someone asked.
Xing Xiaohao turned around, pointed to the place he walked in before, and said, "This way." ”
"Oooh. A group of people hurriedly changed directions.
A boy closest to Xing Xiaohao asked, "Xiaohao, what's going on?"
Since Xing Xiaohao did not have the arrogance of ordinary Yuan Ling cultivators, from time to time someone asked him questions.
"Defensive shield. Xing Xiaohao shrugged.
"In order to prevent the spirit beasts here from going out. Ye Qingxian added: "This is the place where spirit beasts live, and there are all kinds of spirit beasts living in it, and there is no shortage of warlike and vicious, so there is a layer of defensive cover. ”
"Oh. Everyone nodded.
Suddenly, a timid girl said, "Teacher Ye, then we are going to be here for the next three days?"
Only then did everyone remember what Ye Qingxian said before, and they couldn't help but shudder, "Yes." After getting Ye Qingxian's affirmative answer, everyone became a little scared.
"Don't be afraid, there are already a lot of academy elders around here, plus we still have him. Ye Qingxian pointed at Xing Xiaohao and said.
Xing Xiaohao glanced at Ye Qingxian, but didn't say anything. Only then did everyone quiet down, thinking back to the duel between Xing Xiaohao and Chen Xiaotian at that time, they really didn't know what to say.
"No matter how much theoretical knowledge you learn, it's only someone else's, so you have to come into contact with spirit animals yourself. Ye Qingxian patiently explained: "Spirit animals are also natural spirits, and how to get along with them is your own problem." ”
"If you have any questions, you can ask me, or you can ask Xiaohao, as for the rest, the academy will arrange it, you don't need to ask. Okay, let's disband. ”
Everyone left one after another, after all, everyone is a child, who is not curious? Spirit beasts are very dangerous, and now they have the opportunity to get close to each other, how can they not give up.
Xing Xiaohao did not leave, but stood beside Ye Qingxian and asked, "Why is there a grassland here?"
Ye Qingxian smiled: "Because this is the original one." Xing Xiaohao didn't care that the ground had just rained, so he sat down directly and waited for Ye Qingxian's next words.
"Before Yuqi City was built, this was a forest, and His Majesty the Phoenix Emperor at that time couldn't bear to have the spirit beasts in the forest homeless, so he kept this place and still lived for those spirit beasts. ”
"There must have been militants among the spirit beasts, and there were many of them who stayed here forever. Speaking of this, Ye Qingxian's eyes showed a deep sadness, but it disappeared in an instant, and continued: "However, the Phoenix Emperor did not blame the Beast Emperor of this forest at that time, and let him leave. The Beast Emperor knew that he was not the opponent of the Feng Clan at that time, so he calmly left with some spirit beasts. ”
"In the woods outside the city, it was ruled by the heirs of the Beast Emperor back then. Ye Qingxian smiled lightly.
"Beast Emperor...... Dead?" Xing Xiaohao said with a slight hesitation.
"Yes, within a month after that battle, the tenth-order spirit beast passed away like this. Ye Qingxian's eyes were a little sad.
"Oh. Xing Xiaohao replied softly, not knowing what to think, so he didn't speak again.
Ye Qingxian also saw that Xing Xiaohao had something on his mind, so he didn't bother, but silently pushed the wheelchair and left.
Xing Xiaohao didn't know how long he had been thinking about it, he had been frozen there, and suddenly, Xing Xiaohao was awakened by something and stood up suddenly, which startled the student closest to Xing Xiaohao, Ye Qingxian felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly came over and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xing Xiaohao's face was solemn and said, "Teacher Ye, I'll come when I go." After saying that, Xing Xiaohao ran in the direction of the woods.
Ye Qingxian repeatedly knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly ordered: "All people, don't go near the woods." ”
Everyone except Xing Xiaohao looked at each other, not knowing what was happening, but they were all obedient. A few of them had already reached the edge of the woods, but Xing Xiaohao sent them out with a wave of his hand after passing.
Xing Xiaohao's face was extremely ugly, and the surrounding scenery was retreating at a rapid speed, until some cries reached Xing Xiaohao's ears, and Xing Xiaohao slowed down and walked forward.
Suddenly, a black shadow attacked, Xing Xiaohao quickly retreated, and saw a little wolf yelling at him, but the little wolf seemed to have just been born for a long time, and the cry was very immature, without the fierceness of the wolf clan.
The wolf cub has a fiery red body and a flaming flame on its tail, "Flame-tailed wolf." Xing Xiaohao had already guessed the race of this little wolf in his heart.
Flame-tailed wolves, fire-attribute spirit beasts, are not very strong in the wolf clan, not as fiery as their flames, on the contrary, they are extremely docile and not bloodthirsty, so they often become the pets of noble women.
Not long after this little wolf was born, it was only the first order, and it was staring at Xing Xiaohao with an angry face at this time, and Xing Xiaohao was also looking at it.
Xing Xiaohao slowly raised his injured right hand, and the little wolf subconsciously retreated, and his front body fell down, letting out a childish low roar. The nature of a wolf, Xing Xiaohao said silently.
A trace of fire appeared in the palm of his hand, looking at the somewhat warm flame, the little wolf froze for a moment, actually cried, slowly climbed onto Xing Xiaohao's palm, and lay there asleep.
Xing Xiaohao gently stroked the hair on the little wolf's body and muttered, "What's the matter?
At this moment, a miserable roar was heard in the woods, and Xing Xiaohao rose from the ground and rushed in that direction.
After a while, Xing Xiaohao came to a clearing, which could not be said to be an open space, but the thick trees were formed by something interrupting. There are broken trees, some have been uprooted, and some have been melted, and the most surprising thing is that there are many corpses of spirit beasts here, and the spirit cores are suspended there, indicating the death of the master.
The smell of blood was extremely pungent, but Xing Xiaohao just stood as if he didn't smell it, and the little wolf in his arms also woke up, struggling to jump out and run in one direction. There were a lot of flame-tailed wolves there, but they were all dead, big and small, and spirit cores were floating there.
"Hmm. The little wolf also sensed that something was wrong, so he lay there and whispered.
A figure suddenly got up, Xing Xiaohao looked over, and saw that there was a flame-tailed wolf that was not dead, it was getting up and crawling in the direction of the little wolf, its feet were already injured, and it was difficult to walk, but it was very persistent, Xing Xiaohao didn't help, just watched from the side.
The little wolf also saw it, but there was no big reaction, obviously not the little wolf's parents. The wounded flame-tailed wolf stretched out his wolf claws and carried the wolf cub into his arms, more like parents than parents.
Looking at them, Xing Xiaohao only stood quietly, suddenly felt restless, turned around and looked, a golden python floated in the air, no, to be precise, it was held in the air by something, behind it, it was pitch black, and a wisp of red appeared from time to time.
The python was still struggling, but it was getting slower and slower, and it was only a matter of time before it died. Xing Xiaohao can see that there are already dragon horns on the head of the giant python, which is different from the evil Jiao, the evil Jiao was born with dragon horns, which is a matter of blood, and the dragon horns on the body of this giant python are a symbol of strength, a ninth-order spirit beast, and the existence of a dragon is about to turn into a dragon.
"Boom. "The python fell to the ground with a loud noise, and the red color turned into two, which looked like two eyes.
A loud noise came from the darkness, and the red disappeared, and after a while it came out again, and below the two reds there was a crescent-shaped red, and the three reds made up a face.
Several black shadows were thrown out of the darkness, Xing Xiaohao glanced at them, there were four in total, all of them were ninth-order spirit beasts, plus that giant python, there were a total of five ninth-order spirit beasts, on weekdays, there were five ninth-order spirit beasts that were as invincible as gods, and they were so embarrassed, so what is this black shadow.
One of the orangutan-like spirit beasts said, "Human, we have made a pact not to come here, why are you here?"
Xing Xiaohao glanced at the orangutan and said, "You better heal your injuries first." ”
"You ......," the orangutan muttered.
The other three spirit beasts let out a low roar, but they also knew that the common enemy was the dark shadow in front of them.
Facing the four ninth-order spirit beasts and Xing Xiaohao, the black shadow smiled, and his blood-red mouth opened, as if it could devour everything, which made people feel creepy.
