Rebellious Contract Beast

Because of the strange phenomenon that occurred during the morning practice, Hejian Chuyun no longer dared to find a place to practice. In the following time, she and Shen Yi had been living in the mountains. During the day, she was either refining elixirs or practicing through Practice to speed up Shen Yi's recovery from injuries.

In addition to refining elixirs at night, she wanted to satisfy what she thought was Shen Yi's weird hobby.

In addition, when she has free time, she will take Shen Yi to go shopping in the city to purchase some supplies, or buy some alchemy materials.

By the time we set off, a month had passed. After such a long period of training, Shen Yi's injuries had basically recovered. His wings and the back half of his body had grown fully. The only thing that could walk and jump was his tail. It hasn't fully grown yet and looks short and awkward.

If there is any inconvenience without a tail, it is that it is easy to lose balance when flying.

How to put it this way, it generally does not affect normal flying, but it is not that easy to achieve difficult fancy flying, because Shen Yi needs to use his tail to coordinate when making some movements in the sky.

But having said that, although Nanli only needs to pass through one state border to reach the Dahong Dynasty, the distance in between is not short, at least seven or eight hundred miles. Tsurumi Chuyun entered Nanli with Shen Yi, who was seriously injured. After we left, we didn't go too far. There was still more than 400 miles to the border.

"I'm going, what the hell is this place? There are trees everywhere and you can't even see the road."

"Are we going the wrong way?"

On horseback, Tsurumi Chuyun was holding a map in one hand and frowning, while holding a compass in the other hand to check the direction. But for some reason, the pointer on the compass kept spinning around, making it difficult for people to understand. Unable to confirm direction.

At this time, Shen Yi said: "That person just now was afraid that he didn't even know how to get to Yufeng Township, so he just gave you a blind way."

"No way, I didn't offend him. Why did he do this?"

"People's malice always comes out of nowhere. Listen to me, turn back and take another path from the fork in the road."

"But we have come so far..."

"If not, I'll fly you out."

"Hey~ It seems that there is only... Well, Xuanli, look at it!"

"What?"

"The compass is normal again."

In the consciousness space, Shen Yi saw from Tsurumi Chuyun's perspective that the pointer on the compass in her hand that was still spinning suddenly stopped, pointing to the southwest.

"What's going on?" He didn't understand. How could the magnetic field in this chaotic world return to normal all of a sudden?
Tsurumi Chuyun shook his head and said that he didn't know either.

Of course, she also noticed something was wrong, but the direction pointed by the compass was roughly correct, so she had no choice but to keep walking forward.

"There won't be any monsters in this place, right?"

"Probably not." She pinned her temple hair to her ears and looked down at the road. The soil was very fresh, indicating that pedestrians and caravans often walked on this road, so there shouldn't be anything causing trouble.

But just in case, she still took out the long sword she had just bought, and while letting Jueying under her walk forward, she vigilantly checked her surroundings.

Shen Yi also released his senses, covering a three-hundred-meter radius centered on Tsurumi Chuyun. With this sweep, he seemed to have discovered something, and he couldn't help but murmured: "Old witch!"

"what?"

"No, something is definitely wrong. There are no animals around here."

"is it?"

"Not entirely, I did see some ant nests."

"..."

Shen Yi usually wouldn't joke about this kind of thing. After hearing what he said, He Jian Chuyun's hand holding the sword involuntarily tightened.

Thinking of something, she reached out to the bamboo tube hanging on her waist and pulled off the talisman attached to it.

"Mingyue, did you find anything?"

There was no reaction inside the bamboo tube. It was obvious that the evil spirit inside was still angry.

During this period, as long as it was given a chance to speak, it would strongly protest and demand that it be able to move freely, but this request was always sternly rejected by Tsurumi Hatsuun.

After shaking it twice, there was finally a sound inside the bamboo tube.

"No, it's normal."

"Normal..." Tsurumi Chuyun pondered for a while. Not to mention Shen Yi, she did not sense any evil aura around her.

Maybe she was overthinking it, so she shook her head, reattached the talisman, held the reins and continued walking forward.

But as soon as she finished pasting the talisman paper, Shen Yi's expression changed in her conscious space, and she shouted: "Old witch! Be careful!"

As soon as she finished speaking, her body shimmered with light, and the God of Life Armor wrapped around her whole body at an extremely fast speed without waiting for her consent. Tsurushimi Chuyun himself reacted quickly, and with a choke, he pulled the long sword from his body. He pulled the sword out of its scabbard and struck it to the side and behind without thinking.

Swish!
The sword energy passed through like a sword, and a large piece of weeds behind it was cut down, and they all flew to the ground. A tree as thick as a bucket was cut off at the waist with a crunch, and its crown hit the ground heavily.

All this happened too fast. Tsurumi Chuyun instinctively slashed out a sword. She didn't see clearly what was attacking her, but after the confrontation between the two sides, the thing flew out and fell into the dense bushes. disappeared in.

"what?"

"I didn't see clearly, you turned so fast."

Hiss~
The Jueying under him was restless, and Tsurumi Chuyun gently patted its thick neck, and it took nearly a minute to calm it down.

She put the sword in her hand into the scabbard. Although the fight just now was not dangerous, the strength of the mysterious creature was so great that it made her mouth numb.

Taking a deep breath, she looked towards where the thing disappeared and narrowed her eyes slightly.

The mysterious creature's aura felt familiar, and she quickly remembered it.

Bracelet Queen!

Of course, it's not that the mysterious creature is the Suizhu Empress, but the aura on her body has some similarities with the Suizhu Empress.

She realized that this was evil spirit!
"It seems to be a monster..."

"Demon?"

"Yes, it has a demonic aura about it."

"How come the monster is so small?" Shen Yi wondered a little. Although he didn't see clearly what the thing that attacked the old witch was, it looked like it was only a little bigger than a basketball.

Hearing this, He rolled his eyes when he saw Chu Yun. Strictly speaking, monster beasts and contract beasts are not the same species, how can they be compared?
She and Shen Yi had seen before that the pig demon and bull demon were huge because they were large animals. After training, although their bodies could not be as tall and majestic as the contracted beasts that had grown to a certain stage, they were still larger than ordinary domestic livestock. Much stronger.

The same does not mean that the monster beasts are not as powerful as the contracted beasts.

The contracted beast cannot be cultivated. From Shen Yi's perspective, the monster beast is like a man holding a gun, while the contracted beast is just a lump of iron. Although the description is not very appropriate, its huge size is like a living target.

Shen Yi was not so much asking, but more complaining. The small monster made him realize that it was not something easy to deal with.

Especially in woods with complex terrain.

"This damn thing escaped... came out... and the one who stepped on the horse is not here anymore!"

"Where is it?"

"Your nine o'clock direction, I feel like I can't see it."

Hejian Chuyun dismounted and looked in the direction Shen Yi said, but due to the obstruction of the trees, she could not see anything worth talking about.

"Do you see what that thing is?" After a while, she asked Shen Yi in her heart. "Like a mouse or something... that's it, running so fast."

"Ah."

She nodded slightly, and then squatted down, while Shen Yi also continued to scan the surroundings with his senses in the conscious space.

After waiting for a while, the thing never appeared in my consciousness again.

The monster probably wanted to pick a soft persimmon to pinch, but he didn't expect that Hejian Chuyun and Shen Yi were difficult to deal with, so he left when he saw that he couldn't take them in a short time, right?

Thinking like this, she didn't want to wait any longer, so she got on her horse and continued on her way, but Jueying stopped after taking a few steps, shaking her head and making neighing sounds, and her hooves kept stamping on the ground, looking very nervous. It's restlessness.

Hejian Chuyun didn't say a word, but silently comforted it.

"Come on, old witch, we are being targeted." Shen Yi said, and at this moment, his senses touched the monster again.

She didn't respond, but held the sword tightly in her other hand.

After she calmed Jueying down, she asked her to continue moving forward in a deep voice. Jueying obeyed her instructions, but the speed of progress was very slow.

Like Tsurumi Hatsuun, it was also vigilant about its surroundings, but under the influence of the monster's aura, it appeared very uneasy.

About five or six minutes passed, when Shen Yi shouted: "Old witch! It's seven o'clock on your left rear!"

In her perception, a very strange object was approaching Tsurumi Chuyun at an extremely fast speed. When she heard Shen Yi's words, she immediately turned around. Before she could see the monster in her field of vision, she pointed at it with the long sword in her hand. It's a pity that it was empty.

When the other party noticed Tsurumi Chuyun's movements, he decisively changed his direction and fled away, directly leaving the coverage area of ​​Shen Yi's consciousness, leaving her to see only a fleeting black shadow.

"Where did you go?"

"How do I know?" Shen Yi replied angrily, continuing to use his senses to detect the surrounding situation, and soon he discovered that the monster appeared deep in the woods on the right side of the road.

"Look at the back! It's coming!"

This time He saw that Chuyun was more cautious and did not turn around immediately. He waited for half a second before turning around and slashing out with his sword.

Swish!
The extremely sharp sword energy swayed out.

This attack did not fail. The sword light left a beautiful waning moon in the air, easily breaking through the monster's fur, and blood spilled out. Tsurumi Chuyun could clearly see it.

He only heard a "squeaking" sound, which seemed to be the scream of the thing. After landing, it moved its limbs frantically and quickly moved away from Tsurumi Hatsun.

But how could she let this thing go? She jumped up from the horse and chased after it without thinking.

But just when she was performing the Indigo Bird Qingyun Technique, her movements were a beat slower, and the monster jumped into the ditch and disappeared from sight.

"I'll go! It's really a mouse!"

Shen Yi finally saw the appearance of the thing clearly. It was indeed a large rat. It had a fat and round body. When it ran, it looked like a rolling meat ball. It also had those rat eyes, which were so dark that it said no. Out of cunning.

"Where has it gone? Xuanli!"

"Keep chasing! It's right in front of you... No, it's on the right."

"What direction?"

"Go at one...two o'clock...it's going to circle you and go back!"

Hearing this, Hejian Chuyun's cyan light became a little brighter, he tiptoed a little, and flew into the air on the breeze.

"Go forward, hurry up!"

Shen Yi commanded in the consciousness space. After performing the Qingyun Jue, Hejian Chuyun's movement speed was no slower than that of the rat demon, so that his senses could always be locked on the rat demon.

Just like that, she was flying in the sky. After her strength dissipated, she fell down and stepped on the treetops. After another effort, she rose into the sky again.

Her eyes carefully observed the ground, not missing even the slightest detail. However, the terrain in the woods below was too complicated, so Tsurumi Chuyun was unable to capture the figure of the rat demon.

After a while she asked aloud: "Where is it now?"

"Still in front..." Shen Yi opened his mouth to say, but his expression became weird the next second after he finished speaking.

"Old witch, wait a minute."

"what happened?"

"Get down, stop flying."

She was a little confused, but she fell back to the ground obediently as Shen Yi said.

Before she could say anything, there was a tearing pain between her eyebrows, and Shen Yi turned into a ball of light and appeared in front of her.

"What happened?"

"Disappeared." Shen Yi was a little confused. Just now, his consciousness was still locked on the rat demon, but it disappeared.

The kind that disappears into thin air.

"Disappeared..." Tsurumi Chuyun murmured, and suddenly said: "It should be nearby and can't escape. I have read in books that most rat demons can hide their own aura. This should be the case for it. It disappears from your consciousness.”

"Looking for? How to find it?" Shen Yi scanned around. The trees around here were denser. The ground was no longer just soil. There were overgrown and arched tree roots everywhere. Down below, the ghost knows which hole the rat demon is hiding in.

Seeing that Chuyun didn't respond to him, Tsuruk squatted down and carefully checked the situation under each hole one by one.

And Shen Yi was too lazy to look for it. It was just a rat demon. It would be great if he could catch it and take the demon pill. But if it was hiding and still hiding in such a place, he didn't want to waste a long time looking for it. Just for that demon pill, and there is no guarantee that it can be found.

In addition, the meat from the rat demon cannot be roasted and eaten, but he still has some motivation for pig demons, rabbit demons, cow demons and so on.

"You can find it yourself. I'll rest next to you."

When He saw Chuyun, he rolled his eyes at him. Although she also hated mice, the demon had many treasures. Shen Yi didn't know how expensive food, rice, oil and salt were.

So she ignored Shen Yi and continued to search in the cave entrance.

On Shen Yi's side, after he finished speaking, he was ready to find a piece of grass to nest comfortably, but after just a few steps, the intertwined tree roots under his feet were bent by his steps.

This was nothing at first, but a "squeak" sound came from below.

"Huh?" He was stunned. It was obviously the cry of a mouse. Although it was very small, he was not deaf and could hear it clearly.

"No way?" He lowered his head and looked through the gap between the tree roots. He didn't see any living things, but there was a rustling sound coming from inside.

It seems like something is digging up the soil?

Realizing something, Shen Yi's eyes suddenly lit up. The next second without saying a word, he grabbed the root of the tree under his feet and exerted force with his forelimbs.

Wow!

A large number of tree roots were forcibly broken by him, revealing the scene below.

A giant brown rat that was fat and round and several times larger than a dog suddenly appeared in sight.

"Hey, you're here!"
