After the spirit bird flew for a long time, Qiuqiu couldn't help but ask, "Isn't this trial cave the boundary of Jiufeng? How come it's so far away?"

You must know that spirit birds are not slow to fly, even if they can't catch up with Boeing, it should be no problem to catch up with the high-speed rail, right?They set out early in the morning, and it is past noon now.Qiuqiu originally thought that the Trial Cave must be a cave in the back of the mountain, and it would only take a few steps to get there, but now she thought it was too naive.

"It's at Peak Nine." Shi'er answered concisely.

Qiuqiu took a while to understand - what he meant was that the trial cave is in the boundary of Jiufeng Mountain, but they haven't arrived yet, which means that they haven't left the boundary of Jiufeng Mountain after flying for a long time!

so big……

Qiuqiu didn't need to be very good at arithmetic, and knew that even if they didn't travel a thousand miles this morning, they would have covered eight hundred miles.

Cultivation is too unscientific!This kind of local tyrant who randomly encloses land is too hateful.

In her previous life, why did she work so hard to save the down payment?No, let's not talk about the previous life, just talk about this life, when she was still at home, a family of seven or eight people crowded into such a narrow mud-walled thatched hut...

Well, people are more popular than people.

"tired?"

"Spirit cranes have to drink water too?"

Shi'er responded, and Yaoyao gestured to Lin Su.

A group of people began to fall.Scattered and landed on the river beach.

Shi'er let Linghe go to the river to drink water, and Qiuqiu also squatted down to wash her hands, and brushed her messy hair back.Shi'er sat under a nearby tree, watching her quietly.

"Are you thirsty?"

Qiuqiu wiped her hands and sat beside him.He took out the brewed tea from the Qiankun bag, poured it into a teacup and handed it to him.

Shi'er took it.

Qiuqiu poured himself a cup too.

Lin Su came over with a smile: "It smells delicious, what kind of tea is this?"

"It is boiled with Ningshen grass, tea leaves, and a kind of vanilla." Qiuqiu poured him a cup: "Try it."

Guan Wei also came over, without saying a word.

But Qiuqiu didn't like to favor one person over another, and poured him a cup too.

So now it's four people sitting in a row drinking tea together.

Chunyu and another girl whom Qiuqiu didn't recognize came over with smiles, and they simply weaved thin grass leaves together as straw baskets. There were several kinds of wild fruits in the baskets, and Qiuqiu could only recognize one kind.

Chunyu said: "Miss Jingqiu, please try this. Our place in Jiufeng is different from the Central Plains, and maybe the flowers, plants and wild fruits are also different."

Qiuqiu reached out and grabbed two of them, and said with a smile, "Thank you."

Lin Su also reached out and took one, pulled the stem of the fruit open, and took a sip of the juice: "This is pure water, you can't break it. Break it all over your hands and body."

Fortunately, there was a knowledgeable guide, otherwise Qiuqiu felt that it would be disrespectful for her to drip juice.

When people give her fruit, they don't necessarily want to watch her dripping juice. Qiuqiu feels that she can't always think of others as bad.

Besides, even if they were intentional, this kind of little prank was stronger than the maliciousness of Xiuru and Heliu.

When they were far away, Lin Su lowered her voice and said, "They are very close to Xiuru. They grew up together. Xiuru was locked up, so they must be a little awkward. But don't worry. She The two are not the kind of willful people."

So their awkwardness is only reflected in this small fruit?

Qiuqiu wasn't disgusted with their behavior. In Qiuqiu's place, a friend who grew up together suffered from an outsider. Although it was her own fault, she definitely felt uncomfortable.

This just shows that they value friendship.If they quickly forget about Xiuru, treat her as if she doesn't exist, and then focus on catching up with Qiuqiu.Such utilitarianism makes people even more uneasy.

Putting those aside, the fruit is quite delicious.When it is cooked just right, when it is gently scratched, the milky white juice gushes out, which looks like coconut milk and tastes as sweet as honey cheese.

They arrived at the trial cave when it was almost dark.

This is a steep bank, and there is no way up the mountain. Even apes can't climb the bare stone wall.The spirit birds landed one after another on the small stone platform protruding from the stone wall. Many people must have set foot here over the years. The edges and corners of the stone have been worn away, making it look very smooth.

Green vines hang down long, covering the cave door.

The formation to open the cave requires nine people to launch it together, Guan Wei is one of the nine, but Lin Su did not go up, stood very close to Qiuqiu, and said softly: "The formation must be shot by the peak master himself, and no one else can." turned on."

Qiuqiu asked him in a low voice, "When was the last time you opened this cave?"

"It's been 50 years." Lin Su said with emotion: "At that time, the leader of the former peak master came here. I was not cultivated enough at that time. I just heard about it, but I couldn't come."

In this way, most of the people present came here for the first time, and Qiuqiu felt more at ease.We are all rookies, the same.

The cave door opened slowly, and looking inside, it was so dark that nothing could be seen clearly.

Shi'er took Qiuqiu's hand and walked ahead, the sun had already set, the surrounding light suddenly dimmed, and he couldn't see clearly under his feet.Qiuqiu's foot is deep and the foot is shallow, her hands only care to push away the hanging green vines.

The air in the cave was humid, and there was the sound of dripping water in the distance.

"Slow down."

Shi'er hummed, and really slowed down.

Qiuqiu breathed a sigh of relief, and after walking a short distance, the light lit up ahead, and Qiuqiu raised her head to look around.

They passed through the long corridor dug out of the rocks, and there were stretches of mountains and fields in front of them, with no roads at all.

"We..." Qiuqiu turned her head, speechless.

There was also a vast wilderness behind, and there was no one there, and the cave they came out of just now had disappeared.

"Where are the others?" Qiuqiu was worried, and tightly grasped Shi'er's hand.

"After you come in, you will randomly appear in different places." Shi'er said, "Sometimes with luck, two groups of people can still meet during the trial. Sometimes from the time you come in until you go out, you won't meet a single person."

"Then it's just the two of us now?" Qiuqiu was unavoidably nervous: "When will the trial end? How will we get out then?"

"The passage of time here is different from that outside. If you want to go out, you can go out anytime." Shi'er showed a token in her hand to Qiuqiu: "Break the token and you can go out."

It turned out to be like this, Qiuqiu let go of her worries.

This is quite good, if someone encounters any danger during the trial, as long as it is not immediately fatal, they can get out by this method.It is much better than going outside to practice, at least there is no fear of life.

Huo'er poked his head and looked out, there was no outsider here, so it didn't matter if it showed its head now.

Qiuqiu touched the two small dragon horns on its head.Speaking of the horns, I can't see the horns at all now, just like two small beans, one side is bigger and the other is smaller, not symmetrical.

It crawled along Qiuqiu's arm to Qiuqiu's shoulder, whining in its throat.It looks eager and excited.

"Let's go."

Qiuqiu followed behind him and asked curiously: "What's in the trial cave? When I was in Xiuyuan Mountain, I heard from my brothers and sisters that there was everything in the trial circle of Xiuyuan Mountain, including poisonous flowers. There are poisonous weeds. There are also fierce beasts, insects, and hogs, and there are even strange environments such as strong winds, thunder, and seas of fire."

"The trial cave is divided into many layers. We should be on the first layer now, and there is not much danger."

Huo'er suddenly jumped off Qiuqiu's shoulders and got into the grass.

Spiritual pets will never get lost, but Qiuqiu is not worried about it being lost, but is afraid that it will encounter some danger.

She called twice into the long grass, but there was no answer.

"Don't worry, it won't go far. It will follow us."

Shi'er was right, they didn't go far.Huo'er came out again from the side of the road, covered with dry grass and dead leaves.Qiuqiu saw that it didn't look like it was injured, but seemed at ease like a fish in water.

As the sky gradually darkened, Qiuqiu took out the fluorite to light it up.

Along the way, they encountered nothing but two wild boars and a poisonous snake.

Of course, the wild boars in this trial cave are different from the wild boars outside.Nima, how old is this pig?The skin was probably thicker than a rhinoceros, but the sword left only a white mark when it was cut.The sword didn't hurt the wild boar, but it excited it.He slammed into it head-on, and the tree that needed two people to hug him was also broken with a click.

Shi'er stood aside with no intention of making a move, but just instructed Qiuqiu to pay attention to the coordination of footwork and bodywork, and to look for the wild boar's weaknesses.

Qiuqiu stabbed the wild boar's mouth with his sword for the last time, and finally dealt with it.

Well—it was the first time since she learned how to use swordsmanship, it was a wild boar... It was embarrassing to say.

What kind of footwork, strength, and formulas, I can't remember them all in a hurry. Besides, her strength is weak, and the wild boar's skin is thick and high blood, which is really a tough nut for the little girl.

Shi'er shook her head and walked over, wiping the sweat off her face with a handkerchief: "You don't need to panic, once you panic, you won't be able to use the sword moves you usually practice."

"It's really not my fault..." Qiuqiu said with a bitter face, "I have always practiced with myself, and I haven't even cut down the wooden stakes for practice a few times, and no one has fed me with me. On paper, this wild boar is no ordinary pig! It yowled, shaking my head so that I couldn't even hold the sword steadily."

Can such a pig still be called a pig?It's almost like a pig demon, okay?Not only physical attacks, but also sonic mental attacks, it's too heaven-defying!

Huo'er didn't know where it went just now, when the wild boar fell to the ground, it showed its head every second, pounced on the pig's leg and bit it, it seemed as if it had been hungry for three days and three nights. Qiu was trembling.

"Are you injured?"

Qiuqiu shook her head: "No."

It's possible that I had consumed too much just now, and now my hands and feet have no strength, as if I have collapsed.

Shi'er helped her to sit down, took a pill for her, and Qiuqiu swallowed the pill to adjust breath and meditate. Shi'er sat in front of her, with his hands pressed against her palms, and slowly helped her perform the exercises.

Qiuqiu let out a breath, slowly opened her eyes, and said with a smile, "Okay, thank you—huh?"

What about the pig she killed just now?It was obviously piled there in such a big pile, why did it disappear? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
