[Douluo Dalu] He and the sea

The autumn breeze is cool, and as the night becomes darker and darker, the dense forest becomes more and more silent. The moonlight slips away quietly without leaving any trace. Only the fire core stone is still emitting bright light, and the dim light shines A square inch of land.

The originally harmonious atmosphere suddenly changed. No one spoke anymore, and they were silent, as if they had melted into the dark night, and they were both confused and unheard.

The "firefly" in front of him was eventually extinguished by the cold wind in the night. There was no dust and dust, only the afterglow of stars was slowly extinguishing. A Ting closed his eyes and blocked the lingering starlight. Outside the doorway of her eyes, she lowered her head and pretended to be asleep, without even looking to the side.

At the end of the long night, it is dim in the horizon. After the dark atmosphere of the huge forest fades away, the light becomes clear and broad, with a slight mist. Every breath and breath carries a lot of the bitter fragrance of grass and mud, which is tempting. Smell a few more times.

Seeing that the sun had risen and the morning fog had dispersed quite a bit, Dai Mubai got up and went to wake them up one by one. It was no different than when he was lying in bed in the academy. When a few people got up, they were still a little dazed and dazed. came to the front.

"Huh? So early?" Ma Hongjun rubbed his eyes and yawned. He glanced at the sun just emerging through the space between his fingers. Then he covered the upper half of his face and patted it vigorously. Only then did he wake up again. some.

Dai Mubai stayed up for the rest of the night and was not very energetic. His eyes were covered in blue and black, and he looked a little tired: "Be patient, Teacher Zhao said, we have to return to the academy as soon as possible, without any delay."

Ma Hongjun hummed, rubbed his face a few more times, and opened his eyes wider. He looked around and saw that the four little girls had all stood up. Tang San was also packing his clothes. He was just short of an Oscar. …

"Boss Dai, where is Xiao Ao? Didn't he get up with me?"

Dai Mubai stretched out his finger, tapped his right hand, and said helplessly: "I fell asleep again..."

"Hehe..." Ma Hongjun bent down with a smile, made a hissing gesture at Dai Mubai and Tang San, and then pinched Oscar's nose with his hand.

After a while, Oscar gasped and opened his eyes. As soon as he saw someone's hands and that twitching smile, he immediately became angry and itched his teeth. He quickly got up, grabbed the fat man and wanted to fuck him. Go back for revenge.

At the serious moment, Zhao Wuji strode over and slapped the two cubs before they saw him: "Hit, hit, hit... It started early in the morning. I should have kept you two vigil last night!"

Oscar rubbed the back of his head with an innocent look on his face: "Teacher Zhao, it was the fat man who disturbed people's dreams first."

Ma Hongjun rolled his eyes at him angrily, curled his lips and said, "You can do it, just for a moment, what can you dream about?"

Seeing that the two of them were starting to quarrel again, Dai Mubai quickly stopped and stopped in the middle. He glanced at Zhao Wuji's face, which was showing a hint of suppressed temper, and hurriedly dragged one away with Tang San, and wiped out the two. The beginning of a war.

As soon as the interlude was over, the group of people walked out of the forest according to the group they came from. The early morning mist had just dispersed, and the vegetation was still covered with a layer of moisture. The soil was moist, and a few footprints left traces. , was particularly eye-catching among the piles of grass and sawdust, but not many people paid attention at that time. Everyone was cautious and followed Zhao Wuji closely. After all, the hardships and dangers yesterday were still vivid in their minds, and several people were on tenterhooks. Dare to leave the team.

Behind them was Dai Mubai, and further ahead were four little girls. A Ting and Xiao Wu stood together, and together with Zhu Zhuqing, they sandwiched Ning Rongrong between the three of them. Little Rabbit stretched his waist and quietly Ating whispered: "What's wrong with you and third brother?"

"?" Ating tilted his cheek, glanced at the pretty and bright brows of the little rabbit, and asked in confusion: "What can I do with him?"

"Hey." Xiao Wu blinked, frowned, and sighed sadly: "Every time you two quarrel, I feel uncomfortable being in the middle."

A Ting smiled softly, scratched her slender waist with his left hand, and looked over with a cold look: "When did we quarrel?"

"It's not a quarrel, it's a cold war." Being tickled by her, Xiao Wu twisted her waist, grabbed A Ting's wrist, and begged for mercy: "I'm ticklish, don't scratch me."

Atin shook her head and retracted her wrist. She raised her eyes and looked forward, her feet undisturbed at all. After a moment of silence, her voice softened and she spoke in a gentle voice: "We are not talking about a cold war."

"Huh?" Xiao Wu glanced at Tang San's back secretly, and spoke to her in a low voice, "A Ting, we grew up together, let's talk about what we have to say, don't hold each other back." On."

"..." Listening to Little Rabbit's solemn preaching, Atin's lips opened slightly, but the words seemed to be stuck in her throat. She couldn't say them out for a long time. She responded, and then looked at the road ahead without focus. The trees were intertwined, the shade was green, and the natural scenery was beautiful, but her eyes suddenly turned sideways, and turned to Tang San in a daze, who was walking side by side with Oscar.

Judging from the back, he seems to be much taller, with a straight waist, broad shoulders, and long legs, like a strong and slender bamboo, always with a bit of eagerness and liveliness.

But she should stay away...

Atin suppressed the change in her expression, and put on a calm and gentle smile again on her face. No matter what, everything must be focused on important matters. She cannot pick up the love and love in the world now.

Her thoughts were entangled, and all the worries and worries were pushed to the bottom of her heart. Without thinking about it, she seemed to be able to relax her mind and no longer bothered by any strange complexes.

After calming down her heart, Atin slowed down her breathing and regained her peace. Naturally, the person closest to her who noticed her change was the one who was also a spirit beast. Xiao Wu was keenly aware of Atin's change, but she did not Not understanding, Little Rabbit trembled his arms, feeling that Atin's body temperature was really a bit freezing.

After walking for a long time, and after almost a stick of incense, the group finally arrived at the entrance of the forest.

Because the route is different, this is not the place they entered yesterday. There are large bushes growing here and the land is dry, so there are no lush flowers and grass. Even flying flies rarely stay. At a glance, there are only narrow strips of trees. The path leads through the bushes and out into the woods.

The group of people stood in a vertical row, led by Zhao Wuji, and walked into the path one by one. The surrounding bushes were growing gratifyingly, clustered together, leaving a few thorny leaves on the outermost edge, because this path It was too narrow, so when several people walked through, the edges of their boots and clothes would rub against the thorn leaves, making a swishing sound.

No one else will be in the Star Dou Forest at this time. Wuhun Palace has never paid much attention to this area. Therefore, day after day, year after year, there are no guards outside the Star Dou Forest. They open the door with a laissez-faire attitude. Lin, in terms of policy, Wuhun Palace is submissive to the interests of the two empires, but in terms of personal affairs, they have always been watching from the other side and reaping the benefits.

Xiao Wu has been in the core area for tens of thousands of years and has seen only a handful of humans. She is familiar with this land, and naturally she is also familiar with the unnecessary laws in this land.

The periphery is the comfort zone for the weak, while the inner and core areas are trial areas that all soul masters can challenge.

When did the status of soul masters and soul beasts begin to change?

The moment he stepped out of the path, Xiao Wu turned around and looked far away in the direction of the core area. From the moment humans were selected by the gods, the soul beasts were being chased in the opposite direction and restrained in this hunting area. within the circle.

For thousands of years, spirit beasts have been in a precarious state, whether inland or at sea.

Atin calmly pushed the little rabbit's back. She swallowed her unwillingness and confusion, and returned to the human world the moment she walked out of the outer area of ​​the Star Forest.

Now that it was safe, Zhao Wuji, who was in the lead, stopped and deliberately slowed down.

The exhaustion of a day and a night was lingering on the limbs, and several people were silent and did not say a word. It seemed that silence was the best way to recover.

Outside the forest, the land is open and there are no scattered trees. All you can see are weeds, uneven roads and scattered stones.

There were no more cicadas chirping or the crisp chirping of birds. The sun was shining brightly above her head, and there were still rough dirt roads under her feet. Atin put the back of her hand against her cheek to drive away some restlessness. She tilted her palm to Blocking it in front of my eyes, blocking out a few rays of light, my vision became much clearer.

There was a tea shop at the end of this dirt road. They approached and followed Zhao Wuji into the open-air shed with sunshade. An old man was busy by himself. When he saw the group of people, he said nothing and turned his head darkly. He placed the teapot in front of them and walked away.

There are many weird people in this world, and Zhao Wuji was not surprised. He took out a Silver Soul Coin and put it on the table. Then he called to the few half-year-old boys behind him and asked them to drink some tea to quench their thirst.

"I remember that the head of this tea shop used to be a young man." Dai Mubai had come here earlier to obtain the third soul ring. At that time, the tea seller here was a cheerful and eloquent young man, not This old man now.

"Maybe the family is helping." Tang San took a few sips of tea and observed the tea shop. There were people sitting in twos and threes in the back room, each occupying a table. They were all drinking tea quietly. There was no other movement, just a little. No voices could be heard.

"Look at the badge on their chests." Dai Mubai lowered his voice and covered his mouth with a tea cup: "That's the symbol of Wuhun Palace."

"It looks like the soul power is not low." Oscar looked at it for a few times, and when those people noticed the outside, he quickly looked away: "Hey, you scared me."

"Don't look blindly, let's leave after drinking." Zhao Wuji glared, and everyone quickly drank their tea and stood aside calmly.

"Can't we ask more questions about Wuhun Palace?" Xiao Wu spoke softly so that the girls could hear each other clearly.

Ning Rongrong waved her hands and said cautiously: "If you can avoid it, avoid it. There is no need to hit them head-on. They are cruel and if there is anyone they don't deal with, they will basically write a fatwa on them."

Fatwa?

A Ting blinked and looked at her doubtfully. Ning Rongrong lowered her voice, frowned slightly, and didn't say much: "It's not a good thing anyway."

This just can't be said.

Atin nodded, indicating that he understood, and did not ask any more questions, but he remembered these three words in his heart.

After drinking tea, the group of people left this place of right and wrong, but as soon as they walked not far away, they were forced to stop.

A group of flying flies stole their way and flew across the road into the weeds. Zhao Wuji shouted sharply to stop and let the group of blockers cross the road first.

The strange thing is that Feiying usually lives in the Star Forest, but now he suddenly appeared outside.

Zhao Wuji took a step back because these guys contained a slight poison. Although they were not dangerous, it was still better to be careful in such a large group.

"Aren't these flying insects in the forest?" Ma Hongjun raised his head and looked at the group of flying insects that were gathering together. They were so densely packed that they were like a wandering dark cloud, and he shrank behind Tang San. He shrunk, only revealing the other person's big round eyes: "It's a bit scary."

"Perhaps they bumped into something." Tang San said calmly, his eyes following the flying flies, and he thought thoughtfully: "It's not migration, nor an accident. They are afraid of something, so they are running away."

Otherwise, it would be impossible to leave the Star Dou Forest, and it would be impossible to rashly meet the soul master.

"According to what you say..." Oscar seemed to have thought of something, and said with lingering fear: "Are there high-level soul beasts chasing them?"

What an unlucky thing, I just came out of the woods, why did I encounter this kind of thing again?

Oscar glanced around a few times, feeling anxious and anxious. He suddenly felt that everything was in danger and nothing was safe.

"Not necessarily. This place is already far away from the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest. High-level spirit beasts won't come out casually." Tang San pondered for a moment, and a light flashed in his mind. He raised his eyebrows, secretly feeling that something was strange. Since high-level soul beasts The possibility of a soul beast is low, that would be a soul master.

To be able to make a group of flying flies flee so brazenly, the soul master's strength is definitely above that of the soul saint, perhaps even higher.

"Teacher Zhao, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time." Thinking of this possibility, Tang San became serious and expressed his thoughts to Zhao Wuji.

"Sure." Zhao Wuji felt something was wrong from just now, but his mind wasn't as fast as Tang San's, and it only took him a moment to figure out the cause and effect.

After about two or three moments, the group of flying flies walked away neatly. Dust was flying in the air, carrying sand with it in the wind, and they flew straight down. Zhao Wuji coughed, frowned, and raised his head. He gathered his soul power in his hand, gathered it in his palm, and patted the dust away.

"Let's leave quickly." After saying that, Zhao Wuji strode out, with Tang San and the others following closely behind him, stepping out of the rustic dust mist.

It was nearly noon, the sun was getting brighter, and there were several hissing sounds from time to time in the lush grass. At the same time, a wet and bitter smell slowly penetrated into the air, melting very quickly. It passed through the gravel-like sand and turned into a green light, but in the blink of an eye it swept into the group of people, climbed up the corner of Atin's clothes like a thin snake, and then disappeared.
