Demon Lord became my apprentice

Cong Yi held Zhang Jiakang in one hand and Qiao Yuan in the other, and plunged into the dense forest in the south.The giant python was seriously injured, and its huge body couldn't move in the dense forest full of shadows. After chasing for a certain distance, it had to give up and retreat into the river.

Seeing that the giant python was not chasing him, Cong Yi stopped.

Before coming here, Guo Xinyi had reminded Zhang Jiakang that in the third stage of the assessment formation, any unexpected situation may be encountered.As a result, he was accidentally confused by the beautiful scenery and took it lightly, so he was entangled by the giant python.In the end, he managed to get out of danger by using the close-quarters capture technique taught by Guo Xinyi.Thinking of this, Zhang Jiakang felt an unspeakable feeling in his heart. As if he was angry with himself, he rubbed his cheeks vigorously with both hands, trying to wipe off the disgusting snake blood splashed on his face.

Qiao Yuan was injured, holding on to the tree trunk with one hand, his breathing seemed weak.

"How are you?" Cong Yi asked.

Qiao Yuan shook his head, and replied: "It doesn't matter, just adjust the breath for a little week and you'll be fine."

Hearing this, Cong Yi cast a cleansing spell to clean up the area under the tree, "You can rest here to rest your breath, and I'll go ahead to explore the way."

After finishing speaking, Cong Yi told the absent-minded Zhang Jiakang, "You stay here and guard him."

Zhang Jiakang nodded hesitantly. Seeing that Cong Yi was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said: "Master, Master, quickly cast a cleansing spell on me, I will be disgusted to death by that stinky snake."

Cong Yi directly told him the incantation of the cleansing spell, and said indifferently, "Fix it yourself."

Zhang Jiakang said rather depressedly: "Hey! Master, why are you biased! There are some branches and fallen leaves on the ground, and you are willing to clean them up yourself. Disciple, I am in dire straits, how can you turn a blind eye?"

Cong Yi ignored Zhang Jiakang at all, looked around intently, and walked deeper into the dense forest.

Zhang Jiakang turned to look at Qiao Yuan, shamelessly said: "Brother Qiao, please help me! Please."

Qiao Yuan just said: "It's just basic spells, Brother Zhang, practice a few more times, and you'll be fine."

Zhang Jiakang wanted to cry, but after complaining in a low voice, he silently practiced the cleaning spell.

Two quarters of an hour later, Qiao Yuan finished adjusting his breath, and his complexion looked much ruddy.Cong Yi estimated the time, and returned to the spot to join them. No danger was found in the dense forest ahead.After practicing 52 times, Zhang Jiakang finally learned the cleansing spell, which wiped away the stinky snake blood on his body.

The three of them walked together to the depths of the dense forest. After walking for a while, a three-way intersection appeared.The bright sunlight outside could not penetrate the mountains at all, and the thick white fog covered the three roads ahead, blocking the sight of several people, and it was impossible to see where the road ahead led.

"Master, what should we do now? Where should we go?" Zhang Jiakang asked.

This formation was set up jointly by the four masters, and the scene inside is also ever-changing. Guo Xinyi only knows that there are many dangers, but he doesn't know where the banners are scattered.

Cong Yi was still thinking, Qiao Yuan said: "Take the road to the right."

Zhang Jiakang asked: "Is there anything different about this one?"

Cong Yi also looked at Qiao Yuan.

Qiao Yuan explained: "I heard from my mother that the altar is on the south side. If we go south, even if we can't find the banner, wait at the altar, and we will definitely be able to wait until other teams appear there with banners."

Hearing this, Zhang Jiakang suddenly realized, and exclaimed, "Brother Qiao is still a chicken thief! With the strength of the few of us, we can definitely reap the benefits."

There are only five banners in the formation, and fifty or sixty teams want them all, so it is inevitable that there will be a lot of snatching.

Thinking of this, Cong said, "Let's go."

Qiao Yuan chose this road, and there were almost no major dangers along the way. Occasionally, when encountering poisonous insects and poisonous fog, Cong Yi's anti-insect and anti-toxin drugs prepared in advance were enough to deal with it.However, the road ahead is long and foggy, with no end in sight.The three of them walked for a whole afternoon, and they were still in the dense forest, boundless, as if they would never get out.

The silent dense forest and the unchanging scenery are like driving on an endless highway. Even if there are two people around you, after a long time, you will inevitably feel an endless sense of loneliness in your heart.

Even though they didn't do anything, the three of them felt extremely tired. It wasn't physical exhaustion, but mental exhaustion, as if someone was dragging your spirit down, gradually losing your self-awareness.

Unknowingly, the minds of the three of them were a little distracted.At this moment, there was a slight rustling sound rippling against the ground, and it was close to the ears in an instant. Cong Yi and Qiao Yuan suddenly woke up, each of them grabbed Zhang Jiakang's shoulder, and suddenly flew into the air.

The place they stood just now was covered with green and twisting vines, and the crazily growing vines were densely connected together, making one's scalp tingle.

"Tree, Dryad!!" Zhang Jiakang yelled with excitement all over his body.

Since ancient times, big monsters are mostly cultivated by ferocious beasts.Restricted by the lack of congenital spiritual knowledge, it is extremely difficult for flowers, plants and trees to cultivate into demons.The dryad does not just refer to a tree. In the dense forest, the roots of the trees are intertwined, criss-crossing, and interacting with each other.In other words, dryads generally refer to a group.

The dryad missed a single blow, hundreds of vines climbed up the tree trunk, and rushed towards the three of them again.

The three of them took out their swords one after another, and the vines were chopped off one after another where the sword light passed.However, these vines seemed to be immortal, and the broken vines immediately grew back, cutting more and more.

"This, how come there are more and more!" Zhang Jiakang is going crazy, "If this continues, even if we are not killed by it, we will definitely be dragged to death."

Cong Yi also realized this, they had to find a way to kill the tree demon from the roots, otherwise it would be futile to cut off more roots.

Qiao Yuan said: "Tree demons often become demons in a forest at the same time, but among these trees, there must be one that is the leader. We only need to find it and break the connection between it and other trees to solve the problem."

What Qiao Yuan said was not unreasonable. While resisting the attack of the vines, the three carefully searched for the leader.

"Look, that tree in front of you." Zhang Jiakang excitedly stretched out his hand and pointed to a plane tree not far away.If you observe carefully, you will find that this sycamore tree always moves one step faster, and other trees seem to follow its movements.

"That's it!" Qiao Yuan said.

Hearing this, Cong Yi took the lead to break through the siege and rushed to the plane tree.Shouyi descended from the sky, plunged straight into the ground, drew a circle around the plane tree, and cut off the root system hidden deep in the ground.Immediately afterwards, the crazily growing vines shrank back as if they had encountered karmic fire.

Seeing that this method is effective, Cong Yi continued to drive Shou Yi to go deeper, cutting off the intricate root systems buried deep underground one by one.

Gradually, transparent sap oozes from the trunk of the sycamore tree, like lines of colorless blood, flowing down slowly.

While cutting off the dryad's root system, Shuichi seemed to have bumped into something else.With a single thought, Cong kept the thing rolled up and pulled it out from the ground. It was a golden banner with cloud pattern on a black background.

"Banner!" Zhang Jiakang was overjoyed, "Hahaha, we actually found the banner!"

Zhang Jiakang ran up excitedly, grabbed the banner and moved it around, "Little thing, it's you who made us work so hard. See if I don't take good care of you."

After bullying Banner, Zhang Jiakang said to Qiao Yuan: "Brother Qiao really came prepared this time! If Brother Qiao wasn't there, we don't know when we would find Banner, and we don't even know where the altar is. "Speaking of this, Zhang Jiakang couldn't help but despise Guo Xinyi, "Guo Xinyi is ashamed to say that he has been a gentleman in the Joint Office for more than ten years, and he can't even figure out this little thing, and he will tell some useless things over and over again. thing."

When Zhang Jiakang said this, Cong Yi couldn't help but feel a little strange. Compared with Guo Xinyi, Qiao Yuan knew too much about the formation of the third level.

Cong didn't reveal anything about it, but Qiao Yuan seemed to have guessed his thoughts, and took the initiative to explain: "It's not that I'm good, but my mother's greatest wish in this life is to let me become an inner disciple of the Joint Office. Years ago, my mother had been collecting information about the Joint Office. Especially the third level, which determines whether I can become an inner sect disciple. The subtlety of the third level can only be understood by those who have personally experienced it. So, over the years, my mother has asked almost all the contestants who have experienced the third level, and summed up a set of experiences for me."

Qiao Yuan's explanation was very convincing. Although Guo Xinyi was a member of the joint office, he probably never came in personally, so he knew little about the specific situation in the formation.

Hearing this, Zhang Jiakang couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I have to say, your mother looks exactly like my father. It seems that no matter whether it is a human race or a fairy race, parents in the world are the same."

It was already dark, and the miasma in the forest was getting thicker and thicker, even reaching the point where you couldn't see your fingers.No one knew how far it would take to get out of the woods, and what dangers they would encounter on the road ahead, so the three of them unanimously decided to spend the night here.Wait until tomorrow morning, and then continue on the road.

According to the experience of previous years, if you want to pass the third level, you will not be able to get out for three to five days.Now, just one day later, Guo Xinyi couldn't sit still anymore, and ran to Cong Rong's residence to wait with him.

"I don't know how they are doing now? Have you found the banner? Have you encountered any danger? Have you used the magic weapon and medicine given to them? Have you been injured?"

"Ham, if I had known about it, I would have inquired more about it in previous years, or I would have gone in to have a look in person."

……

Guo Xinyi was pacing back and forth, while thinking about it, his appearance was not half as stable as a husband.

Compared with him, Cong Rong seemed much calmer, sitting quietly behind the desk and reading a book.However, the pages of the book seemed to have not been turned for a long time.

At this time, a disciple came to report that it was Sect Master Cong who had arrived.

Hearing this, Guo Xinyi subconsciously glanced at Cong Rong, he had more or less heard about what happened back then.These few days, after getting acquainted with Cong Rong, I can't help worrying about him.However, Cong Rong didn't seem to have much reaction, he was still sitting behind the desk, reading his book.

After a while, Sect Master Cong entered the hall.

"Sect Master Cong." Guo Xinyi got up and greeted.

Sect Master Cong nodded slightly, not surprised that Guo Xinyi was here.

Guo Xinyi quickly glanced at the faces of the two of them, and took the initiative to leave: "I suddenly remembered that I still have some things to deal with, so I left first."

As soon as Guo Xinyi left, only Sect Master Cong and Cong Rong were left in the huge hall.Sect Master Cong walked towards Cong Rong, and a fatherly voice sounded slowly, "Father is too busy these days, so I haven't been able to visit you. I finally got some free time today, so I came to visit you. Are you still used to living here? "

Cong Rong didn't lift his eyelids, and said coldly: "Sect Master Cong, there is no need to waste precious time on me."

Sect Master Cong was not annoyed, he looked around the hall slowly, and said to himself: "The things are pretty complete. After a while, when the weather gets hot, Dad will send someone to bring you some ice cubes, and let the ice drop down." Cool down."

Cong Rong remained silent, just pretending that he didn't hear.

Sect Master Cong still had a benevolent look, walked up to Cong Rong's side, and asked, "What book are you reading?"

Cong Rong didn't speak, and Sect Master Cong didn't seem to expect him to answer. He glanced at the cover and said with emotion: "You are still the same as when you were a child, and you like to read these anecdotes. Speaking of which, all these years, my father has collected them in the library. There are many anecdotes and anecdotes that you like, and I will have someone move them for you tomorrow."

Sect Master Cong is especially good at playing the family card, no matter how cold Cong Rong is, he is always a gentle and good father image.In the words, he inadvertently revealed that he still remembered Cong Rong's preferences, and even silently collected anecdotes and anecdotes for him.

Cong Rong was not hard-hearted, he was silent for a long while, and finally said again: "No need."

Although he refused, but fortunately Cong Rong didn't treat him as air anymore, Sect Master Cong couldn't help but beam with joy, "If A Rong doesn't like it, father will ask people to put those books in the library of the United Office. If you remember, Just go there and get it."

Cong Rong stopped talking again, but Sect Master Cong didn't intend to leave. Instead, he chatted with a good friend he hadn't seen for a long time, chatting about what happened to the Xianmen family during the years when Cong Rong was away.

Cong Rong has a cold temperament, but he is very considerate in etiquette. He knows that Suzerain Cong will not leave, but he can't do anything to drive him out.

At the same time, inside the formation, Cong Yi and the others ate Zhu Yudan to replenish their strength, and then cleared out a clean place to prepare to sleep in the open.

The night was getting darker, and in the dense forest, the sun, moon and stars could not be seen when looking up. Even the night pearls they carried with them could only illuminate a square inch of land.The night fog is getting thicker and thicker, accompanied by the occasional chirping of birds and insects, which is particularly terrifying.

Zhang Jiakang was next to Cong Yi, and murmured: "We have been in for a day, but we haven't met a team, and we can't even hear the voice of a living person. Master, you said that people in other teams are doing it now." What? What danger have they encountered this day?"

Zhang Jiakang's idiot question, only a ghost can answer him.Cong Yi said speechlessly, "Sleep."

Zhang Jiakang, who has always had a good sleep quality, didn't feel sleepy at the moment. Seeing that Cong ignored him, he wanted to harass Qiao Yuan again.However, before he could speak, he was stopped by Cong Yi's cold eyes.Qiao Yuan's injuries are still not healed, and he fought with the tree demon again in the afternoon, and he is currently meditating to adjust his breath.

Receiving the warning from Cong Yi's eyes, Zhang Jiakang shut up resentfully, pinching the tender buds in his hand in boredom, his eyeballs wandering around.

Cong ignored him, closed his eyes and meditated.

After an unknown amount of time, Cong opened his eyes in a flash, his gaze was as sharp as a blade, and fell into the depths of the dark forest like substance.

At the same time, Zhang Jiakang, who hadn’t slept all this time, pointed his finger not far away, stuttering with fright, "Fog, fog is coming!"

Hearing the sound, Qiao Yuan also opened his eyes and looked in the direction of his finger.

I saw that the overwhelming black mist, accompanied by piercing screams, quickly floated towards them, like a ferocious beast with its mouth wide open.After a while, shadows emerged from the black mist and transformed into human shapes, holding [-] kinds of weapons in their hands, and greeted them fiercely.

"Demons, demons!" Zhang Jiakang was so frightened that his soul flew away.This scene couldn't be more familiar. A few days ago, they met once in Daxing City, and the two appearances were exactly the same.

Cong Yi would never remember the aura of the demons, so he immediately realized that the demons in front of him were not transformed by formations to train them, but real demons mixed in.
