Chapter 12: The Devil
In the mountains, a young man, carrying a thin old man, ran quickly, this young man was Xiao Ning.
While running, Xiao Ning regretted in his heart, he had nothing to do but run over to see what was going on, now it's okay, even his life was grabbed by others.
"Boy, it's not right for you to use this footwork so much, you should ...... like this first" Xiao Ning was running desperately, but he heard a hoarse voice from behind.
"Oh!"
Xiao Ning replied casually, but he was very surprised in his heart. What the person behind him said was exactly what he had been thinking about, but he didn't expect it to be broken all of a sudden today.
Swish......
Xiao Ning's feet looked at the footwork according to the guidance of the person behind him, this adjustment Xiao Ning found that not only the speed increased by nearly thirty percent, but also became much easier to run, and he couldn't help but feel a little more excited, although he was threatened by the person behind him, but it was not necessarily all bad.
This person's cultivation is very profound at a glance, and if he can give more guidance, I believe that his cultivation will be smoother in the future.
Of course, Xiao Ning's heart was not at all grateful to the old man who threatened him behind him, after all, his current life was not guaranteed.
"Hey, you're a pretty smart kid, and you have a good understanding, maybe this time my old man really shouldn't die. Boy, let me tell you, your footwork is not quite right, you step with your left foot first......" Seeing that Xiao Ning's speed had really improved, the thin old man was also surprised in his heart, and he immediately became interested, and began to guide Xiao Ning how to exert strength, how to adjust his breathing, and how to adjust his pace......
With the guidance of the thin old man, Xiao Ning's speed is getting faster and faster. In just half an hour, he ran dozens of miles.
"Where are we going?" was pointed out by the thin old man on his back for a long time, Xiao Ning's courage was slightly greater, and he took the initiative to ask the old man on his back.
"Boy, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, unless you want to die now!" Hearing Xiao Ning's question, the thin old man's voice became gloomy again, as if Xiao Ning asked one more question, he would unceremoniously kill him directly.
Feeling the murderous aura behind him, Xiao Ning shrank his neck. The one behind him is really an angry master, so he decided that the other party would not speak, and he would never take the initiative to speak.
Whew......
Xiao Ning's figure kept flashing, and now his speed was much faster than when he was in the internal test of the Five Elements Gate, if he fought against those people now, Xiao Ning was confident that he would defeat everyone with speed alone.
"Alright, you can put me down for now, and you can find something to eat yourself. I'm going to start healing, remember not to run too far, if I don't detoxify you, in a month, you'll have to festering all over your body and die!" Xiao Ning was about to walk forward, but heard the voice of the thin old man on his back.
The old man's words were full of warnings, but he was not worried at all that Xiao Ning would never return.
Xiao Ning gently put the old man on the ground, and saw the old man's pitch-black palm shake, and a shining thing flew out of the palm that looked like a ghost claw.
As soon as the glowing thing broke away from the old man's palm, it flew behind a boulder at the foot of the mountain.
Click......
A series of soft sounds, like sharpening knives.
"Alright, clean up the rubble there, I'm going to rest here!" ordered the thin old man pointing behind the boulder to Xiao Ning.
Xiao Ning didn't know why, but after he walked to the boulder, he was suddenly stunned.
Behind the boulders, there were a lot of gravel that were very shiny on the surface, but they were no bigger than a small watermelon. This is not a naturally formed gravel, Xiao Ning had looked around when he came, but he did not find this kind of gravel, and there was an extra stone cave more than one person high behind the gravel.
"Boy, what are you still doing in a daze, quickly get the gravel away, do you want me to get it?" The old man saw Xiao Ning stunned and didn't move, and immediately shouted.
"Oh!" Xiao Ning didn't say much, and sorted it out with all his hands and feet.
Soon, a clean and tidy cave appeared in front of the two of them.
"Okay, I'll rest here tonight, you come to me early tomorrow morning, and we'll continue on our way!" The thin old man slapped his hands on the ground with an expressionless face, jumped up high, and went to the cave.
Xiao Ning didn't go into the cave, he was going to look around for something to eat. This thin old man can not eat, he can't.
Xiao Ning has lived in Wuxingmen for ten years, and he still has the ability to survive, and soon hit a few pheasants and a hare.
Now Xiao Ning's body has been poisoned by that thin old man, so he can only let that person send him, prepare more food, and keep it for later.
Xiao Ning ate a pheasant for a meal, and after eating, he picked up the ice steel sword and began to continue to practice the willow sword technique.
The night passed quickly, and as soon as it was dawn the next day, Xiao Ning was called to the cave by the thin old man, and had to carry him on his back to hurry again.
Seven days went by. Seven days later, Xiao Ning came to a vast forest.
Xiao Ning felt that this forest was so big that it was boundless, and at a glance, he was stunned and didn't see the end.
"Ghost senior, where are we going?" After seven days of getting along, the thin old man's attitude towards Xiao Ning was a little better, and he also told Xiao Ning about his name.
Only then did Xiao Ning know that this old man was called a ghost. Of course, Xiao Ning didn't dare to call him by his name, for fear that this old guy would be unhappy and kill him directly, so after the word "ghost", he added the word "senior".
"I'm seriously injured now, and I need to find an elixir to heal my injuries, dozens of miles ahead, it's the Xiling Wasteland, where there is the innate elixir I need!" the ghost guy pointed lightly in front of Xiao Ning.
"Xiling Wasteland!" Xiao Ning was shocked when he heard the name.
Xiling Wasteland is a large wasteland in the southwest of the Five Elements Gate, and the Five Elements Gate is only a few hundred miles away, but this is not a good place, the terrain is dangerous, very dangerous, and more importantly, the powerful demon beasts here are all infested in groups, and ordinary people are dead ends when they arrive here, that is, the outer disciples of the Five Elements Gate dare not come here.
"You don't have to be afraid, although there are a lot of demon beasts here, as long as you are careful, you can still deal with it, and this is also a good opportunity for you to practice!" Seeing the stunned expression on Xiao Ning's face, the ghost guy rarely encouraged him.
Of course, Xiao Ning knew that this ghost guy would not be so kind, he just wanted to do his own legs because of his inconvenience.
However, what the ghost guy said is not completely unreasonable, although the Xiling Wasteland is very dangerous with a herd of demon beasts, it is indeed a good place to practice, and there are also disciples in the inner gate of the Five Elements Gate who come here to experience and kill demon beasts, and they can use the things on the demon beasts to exchange for more cultivation resources.
"Let's go!" the ghost guy didn't give Xiao Ning much time to think about it, and began to urge.
Swish......
In the face of the ghost guy's order, Xiao Ning had no ability to resist at all, he was poisoned, and the ghost guy could kill him whenever he wanted.
Xiao Ning is not afraid of death, but he doesn't want to die like this. So after weighing it, I followed the path pointed out by the ghost guy and embarked on the journey again.
Dozens of miles, for today's Xiao Ning, it can be completed in half an hour. Soon, Xiao Ning saw a vast grassland.
It is said to be the Xiling Wasteland, but in fact, there are only few trees, but there are a lot of wild grasses here. Moreover, the weeds here are not much shorter than the average small tree. Xiao Ning's figure had just entered the wasteland and was overwhelmed by this tall leafy grass.
"Boy, slow down, let me take a closer look, the weeds here are so dense, I'm going to find some Dingyuan grass here!" Xiao Ning shuttled through the weeds with the ghost guy on his back, but heard the ghost guy ask him to slow down.
Xiao Ning did not go against the ghost guy's intentions, slowed down under his feet, and began to walk slowly through the leafy grass.
The ghost guy looked left and right on Xiao Ning's back, and from time to time he raised his nose to sniff, and sometimes even asked Xiao Ning to grab a handful of soil, and after sniffing it carefully, he casually threw it aside.
Xiao Ning felt the strange behavior of the ghost guy on his back, and his face became more and more strange. Even he began to wonder if this old guy was a human after all, and he sniffed wildly when he grabbed anything, clearly like a hound.
"This direction!" just as Xiao Ning was thinking wildly, the ghost man's voice said with a hint of excitement.
"Okay!" Xiao Ning agreed, and walked in the direction the ghost was pointing.
After walking for about two or three miles, the ghost guy stopped Xiao Ning and said, "Okay, this is it!"
After that, the ghost guy looked around, and finally his eyes were on a few small green grasses, and said to Xiao Ning: "It's those few plants, the kid is also considered blessed by you, you go and pick the Dingyuan grass, you can keep one for yourself!"
Xiao Ning didn't say much, just pulled out a few grasses. He quickly carried the ghost to the gravel pile, and with both hands in unison, he was about to pick some grass on the ground.
Hiss......
At this time, Xiao Ning suddenly heard a few hissing movements.
Swish......
Immediately after, Xiao Ning saw a big mouth the size of a basin, and the blood-red letter that vomited blood bit his head.
"Humph!"
Just when the big mouth the size of a basin was about to bite Xiao Ning, the ghost guy on his back suddenly let out a cold snort, as if he had already known about this attack.
At the same time as the ghost guy let out a cold snort, the pair of ghost claws that were so dry as skeletons suddenly trembled, and a ray of light flew towards the big open mouth.
Puff puff......
Xiao Ning saw the inverted light flicker a few times, and then the big mouth that wanted to bite him fell to the ground weakly.
Swish......
With a move of the ghost's withered hand, the light that flew out quickly returned to his hand.
This time, Xiao Ning finally saw clearly what was in the ghost guy's hand, and it turned out to be a snow-white bone sword.
The white bone sword was no more than a foot long, and the sword body was shining brightly, with a murderous aura.
"Don't look at it, hurry up and collect Dingyuan grass for me!" Seeing Xiao Ning stunned, the ghost guy glared and said.
