Chapter 45 Chapter 45 The team reunited successfully
If Xunli lowered his head slightly, his chin would touch Qi Jiayi's forehead.
Above my head, the wind was howling.
The person in my arms breathes long and slowly.
In contrast to the strong wind outside.
"Stupid dog, run." Suddenly, Qi Jiayi's body trembled and he muttered something. He didn't know what he dreamed about and he slept uneasily.
Xun Li raised his helpless hand and slowly put it down, gently patting Qi Jiayi's arm, "Go to sleep."
After shooting for a while, Qi Jiayi relaxed.
The sleeping Qi Jiayi was very quiet and well-behaved. I remember when they first met, the child pretended to be mature, but he was only thinking about his contracted beast.
Even though she occasionally says words of disdain, she has never hurt her contracted beast and is a soft-hearted girl.
It’s just the gentle breathing and the tingling feeling on my neck, an indescribable feeling.
Xunli turned his face away, trying to avoid that breath.
Because of his avoidance, Qi Jiayi's head moved closer, and their lips accidentally touched his, and a warm and cool feeling came into contact with their skin.
Xun Li's body trembled, and the paper figure in his hand instantly wrinkled.
The cold wind was blowing outside the gap. Xunli didn't feel cold at the moment, but felt a little hot instead. He blamed the cold wind for not blowing in.
…
Bang——
There was a crashing sound in the distance, and the ground began to tremble slightly.
As Qi Jiayi opened his eyes, he reached out to touch the sword.
However, he did not touch the sword, but he felt the texture of the material of the clothes, which seemed to be bulging.
Before she could grab the hilt of the sword, her wrist was suddenly grabbed.
Qi Jiayi raised his head and met Xunli's seemingly forbearing gaze and the sound of gnashing teeth.
"Junior sister."
Qi Jiayi blinked. Senior sister seemed angry? Could someone have broken in?
She broke free from Xunli's hand and pressed down, but found that her hand was on her senior sister's abdomen. She didn't care, after all, they were both women.
He turned and continued to look for it, saying as he searched: "Senior Sister, my sword is missing."
Xun Li took a deep breath, picked her up and moved her away, and suggested: "Junior sister, look for it in the ring."
Qi Jiayi remembered that she had put the sword away after they landed and never took it out again.
Xunli continued to tear the paper. Qi Jiayi was about to ask him what he was doing when suddenly, the ground shook again.
Qi Jiayi quickly stood up with his sword in hand, walked to the entrance of the crevice and looked out.
It was all white and nothing could be seen, but the earthquake was getting more and more serious.
Qi Jiayi extended her spiritual sense, but because the snow was too thick, she could only see a large mass of something coming towards the crevice of the col. The thick snow was blown away, blocking her view.
The wind outside was much weaker now, and it didn't look like the riot was caused by monks.
"Senior Sister, please put on your feather robe quickly. We should probably leave this place." Qi Jiayi said hurriedly when she saw Xunli coming out with the feather robe casually draped over his shoulders.
The wind outside has become much weaker, but the cold is still there. Xunli is weak now and can't bear it.
As she spoke, she stood on tiptoe to help him put on his feather robe.
Her spiritual sense probed the riot again, and in the white expanse of stirred snow, she detected two interlaced yellow lines flashing by.
At the forefront of the riot, as the distance got closer, two figures could be vaguely seen.
The inside of the crevice was relatively wide, but the entrance was a bit small. The Snow Dog lowered its head, revealing only half of its eyes, and asked, "What's going on outside? The sky is collapsing and the earth is breaking."
"A cultivator provoked a demon beast and is being chased." Qi Jiayi took out a bottle of Qi-boosting pills and said to the dog, "Open your mouth, eat it and quickly shrink. We need to leave this place."
The monk being chased might have also discovered this place, but judging by the riot behind him, this gap might not be able to withstand the rampage of the monsters.
Coming out of the gap, Qi Jiayi flew on his sword and took Xunli and the snow spirit dog to the other side.
"You block some of the wind for me." The reason why the Snow Spirit Dog was not put into the storage ring was because he was useful.
The Snow Dog was unhappy: "Can't you just put on a wind shield?"
"It's good enough that I can fly the sword and carry people without it floating, but you also need a wind shield? You are so beautiful, block it well, don't blow on Senior Sister."
Windshield? Is that something she didn't want to pinch? This is not difficult to do because you are not proficient in the operation.
Xunli listened to their bickering and continued to tear the paper figures in his hands, but a faint smile hung on the corners of his mouth.
Qi Jiayi looked back and saw that they had passed the gap, but they did not hear the crash. Instead, the group of monsters were still running behind them. "Strange, why are they still behind us?"
Yu Jian turned around and walked away. When she looked back, the violent monster had also changed direction and was following her.
Oh no, it’s actually aimed at them.
Just when Qi Jiayi was about to fly his sword faster, a voice suddenly sounded: "Dear guest, please stop running. Please help me. I can't hold on any longer."
The voice sounded familiar, and it was very rare for people to call someone a distinguished guest. Unfortunately, she happened to know one.
Emergency sword control stopped.
She had felt that the alternating talisman ropes looked familiar, but the male talisman practitioner she met when she first entered the secret realm also operated in the same way, so she didn't think of it in the same way as Shen Qiuhe.
Hearing Yubei's voice, Qi Jiayi first flew down to the ground with his sword, released the black iron turtle, and ordered: "Protect Senior Sister."
It's over, just rush forward with sword in hand.
When I got closer, I saw Yubei and Shen Qiuhe, but no sign of Tang Jin.
"You look like two snowmen."
No one knew how long they had been chased by the monster. The two men looked very miserable, with thick snow covering their heads and bodies. Yubei didn't speak, and Qi Jiayi couldn't recognize them at all.
Chasing them from behind were a group of snow monsters with snow-white fur all over their bodies. If it weren't for the huge noise they made when running, they would be almost invisible to the naked eye in winter, as they would have completely blended into the snow.
Qi Jiayi came behind them and cut down two big trees to block the snow monster's way.
I followed them and looked at the two of them.
Not to mention Shen Qiuhe, the talisman cultivators have always fought in the back, not to mention the medical cultivators, who are the team's favorites, how can anyone attack them?
However, Shen Qiuhe's dual cultivation of medicine and talismans was fully occupied, but it was always she who intervened in the snow monster.
On the other hand, in Yubei, a man who spends all his time refining tools and forging iron only knows how to run.
Qi Jiayi couldn't bear it any longer: "You are a Jindan cultivator after all, can you just run away when facing a monster?"
"I'm a pure weapon refiner and I don't fight." Yubei was also distressed.
He wanted to crush the purple jade token several times, but Chen Qiuhe was determined to find Qi Jiayi to reunite, which made him seem unmanly for running away from the battlefield.
"The snow monsters won't disperse unless you beat them." This group of creatures is very strange. They like to chase monks when they see them, but they are also very easy to deal with. They will run away after you beat them up.
Yubei: “What should we do then?”
Qi Jiayi: "Take out your magic weapons and follow me."
Yubei shook his head: "I'm not good at fighting."
"It doesn't matter. Jindan monks are at least thick-skinned. Just pick up your food weapons and beat those snow monsters." After thinking for a while, Qi Jiayi added, "It's best to hit their heads."
Yubei took out his hammer, somewhat unconvinced. He was not interested in the secret realm trial. Even though he had come in several times, most of the time he would crush the purple jade token as soon as he landed and then sneak back to refine the weapon. He didn't know much about the monsters in the secret realm.
Seeing Qi Jiayi stop and turn back to fight the snow monster, Yubei rushed forward with a hammer.
The fact is, there is no incompetent weapon refiner. That blow of the hammer was more powerful than the one Qi Jiayi used, which consumed a lot of spiritual energy.
Soon, a group of snow monsters were beaten away.
Yubei was full of excitement: "Is it so easy to beat the monster? It's just like forging iron."
Qi Jiayi panted, not quite understanding his joy: "Haven't you ever fought a monster before?"
"No."
Qi Jiayi looked at Yubei like a monster: "You must have been in the sect for many years, how come you have never fought a monster? Even if you were doing a mission in the sect's Misty Mountain, you should have encountered monsters."
"You haven't done any sect missions in all these years, have you?"
"I only accept mining tasks, and I usually only mine ore in fixed places where there are no monsters." Yubei said.
Qi Jiayi put away the sword and found that Shen Qiuhe's face was not very good, as if his spiritual power was exhausted: "Let's go over there, there is a gap where we can temporarily avoid the cold, and we will talk about it after this day is over."
Chen Qiuhe nodded. In order to stop the snow monster along the way, she had been controlling the talismans, and her spiritual power was consumed too much. Now she didn't even have the strength to speak.
Several people returned to the crevice in the col.
Rekindle the fire.
Yubei hesitated to speak several times.
Seeing this, Qi Jiayi said, "If you have something to say, just say it."
"Um, your second brother..."
Qi Jiayi then remembered that there was another person in their team and asked, "Did you see my second senior brother Tang Jin? Why weren't you there?"
Speaking of this, Yubei's expression was a little hard to describe, "We were supposed to meet up with him."
"What happened?" Qi Jiayi was puzzled. They had all met together, how could they get separated? Or did Tang Jin abandon them and run away?
That shouldn’t be the case. Tang Jin doesn’t seem like that kind of person.
Chen Qiuhe leaned against the Snow Spirit Dog for warmth and took a Qi-boosting pill. Now he had the strength to speak, and said, "When the secret realm changed to winter, Senior Brother Tang's contracted beast was afraid of the severe cold and suddenly burrowed into the ground. Senior Brother Tang followed it, but unexpectedly... the ground suddenly froze. We didn't have time to save him, so we could only run to avoid the severe cold."
Yubei said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry."
They also didn't want to abandon Tang Jin, but Tang Jin and the contracted beast burrowed into the ground, and the two of them couldn't escape underground.
Just at that moment, a sudden cold wind came, and the leaves, flowers, insects, birds, etc. were frozen in an instant. If they didn't leave, they would be frozen there.
Qi Jiayi opened her mouth. She thought Tang Jin had run away, but it turned out that he had gone into the ground and his life or death was unknown.
this……
"I'm glad you're all okay." Qi Jiayi comforted them. She couldn't say she was sad, as she didn't have a close relationship with Tang Jin.
But the person is gone just like that? She didn't know how to feel.
The atmosphere became quiet for a moment.
Qi Jiayi changed the subject and asked, "Then why are you being chased by the snow monster again?"
Shen Qiuhe rubbed his hands and exhaled: "After avoiding the severe cold, we found a place to rest. We wanted to see if Tang Jin was still alive, so we lit the traction talisman, but it alarmed the snow monster and we were chased."
Yubei followed up, "Because the traction talisman pointed your direction, and there was no movement from Tang Jin's side, we came here first."
The Snow Spirit Dog listened to them talking, and after a while he spoke up: "Your second brother can burrow underground? Why can't you?"
Qi Jiayi glanced at him and said, "Is there a possibility that the one who burrowed underground was his contracted beast?"
The four of them waited until the severe cold outside was over before coming out. After discussion, they decided to go to the place where Tang Jin had drilled underground first. As they were a team, they couldn't just ignore it.
Before they reached the destination, the four met Tang Jin halfway.
But the other side is under siege.
There were three people attacking him.
After Yubei had the experience of beating the snow monster, he became eager to fight and rushed forward following Qi Jiayi.
When the other side saw that Tang had come with help, they did not want to fight and retreated directly.
"Second Brother."
Tang Jin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the four people had reunited. He was in a hurry to chase his contracted beast and did not pay attention to Yubei and Shen Qiuhe.
When he wanted to get out, the ground was so hard that he couldn't break through. After finally getting out, he met another disciple who wanted to eliminate him.
After the five of them got together, Qi Jiayi began to think about how to get first place in the secret realm trial.
Shu Qianqian has already been sent away by her. To be on the safe side, Leng Yao cannot be kept either, after all, she is the original heroine.
But where the other party is now is a problem.
It’s a pity that the token cannot be used, otherwise it would be fine to ask some questions.
On the way to find Leng Yao, other teams will also be eliminated, and she wants to make sure that no one will compete with her for the first place in the end.
However, when Tang Jin heard Qi Jiayi's plan, he was confused: "Isn't this a bad idea?"
"What's wrong with that? This is a trial. Isn't a trial meant to increase the difficulty for the disciples?"
The Snow Spirit Dog whispered, "Are you being a rogue or making things more difficult?"
They took advantage of Tang Jin's hidden ability to burrow underground to launch sneak attacks and pull people into the ground, and then they slowly eliminated them.
It's too cloudy.
"Is there a difference?" Qi Jiayi stood up and clapped his hands. "My cultivation is the lowest. I will be the bait."
If you want to launch a sneak attack, you have to let the other party down their guard, so it is best to be alone and serve as bait.
Qi Jiayi put away his sword and deliberately made himself look embarrassed.
However, for some reason, four days passed, apart from a day of hiding due to the changing winter and a day of inability to move during the summer, and during this period, not a single team took the bait.
It should be said that they did not encounter any other disciples.
"What's the problem? Where are the people?" Qi Jiayi didn't understand.
When she first entered the secret realm, it was very large and she could still meet people who wanted to eliminate her.
How come he suddenly disappeared now? With so many disciples, I should be able to run into him if I just walk around.
She remembered that the secret realm in her previous life was full of people, and she met them wherever she went.
Isn't she weak enough? She even injured herself intentionally, but no one came to eliminate her, let alone meet anyone.
Xun Li raised his head and said, "Let's change someone else. I'll do it."
"No." Qi Jiayi shook his head.
Pretending to be weak is mainly about pretending, she can't let her senior sister take risks.
Shen Qiuhe suggested: "Let me try."
When the trial was about to begin, she was pushed aside and had been holding her breath since entering the secret realm.
She agreed with Qi Jiayi's plan and she also wanted to win first place.
After changing people, the effect was immediate.
But it was not a team of people, but just one. The other party was even weaker than Shen Qiuhe. He looked nervously while running and looking behind him.
He fell down before he reached Shen Qiuhe.
The Snow Spirit Dog glanced at Qi Jiayi and said, "See? This is called disguise. Your previous attempt to lure an enemy was ineffective. It has a lot to do with your acting skills."
"Don't you think it's strange that she appeared? And she's so weak." Qi Jiayi looked around vigilantly.
This routine is very similar to what they are using now.
Follow the direction the female cultivator fled from to see if there were any ambushes.
Instead, Shen Qiuhe’s voice rang out: “She’s been poisoned.”
Several people gathered around.
Shen Qiuhe turned the fallen female cultivator over and made her lie flat. The female cultivator's complexion did not look good and her lips were purple.
There were no visible external injuries on his body, but his pulse was very weak.
Shen Qiuhe gave the female cultivator a detoxification pill, and soon after, the female cultivator slowly opened her eyes.
Seeing the people surrounding her, her pupils suddenly froze, and then she slapped in the direction of Qi Jiayi and Xunli: "Ah - I'm going to kill you."
The opponent's attack seemed fierce, but it was just the last struggle. Qi Jiayi raised his hand and used the hilt of the sword to open her hand.
The female cultivator’s spiritual power was exhausted, her eyes were full of unwillingness, she spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground.
Shen Qiuhe reached out and frowned slightly: "She is dead."
Tang Jin looked at Qi Jiayi and Xun Li, "Do you have a grudge against her?"
Qi Jiayi shook his head: "No, I don't know any of them."
Xunli pulled Qi Jiayi up and wiped the blood that splattered on the back of her hand.
"Senior Sister, she..."
Qi Jiayi saw clearly that the female cultivator was coming for her, but they didn't know her, so why did she suddenly burst out with such strong murderous intent?
Xunli put his finger on his lips to stop Qi Jiayi from speaking.
While wiping the blood from the back of her hand, he stuffed the paper figure he had torn over the past few days into her sleeve.
Qi Jiayi was still thinking about the murderous intent in the female cultivator's eyes and did not notice Xunli's actions.
