Standing on a thick branch, Xia Xiao hid in the dense leaves, looking around cautiously like a hunting beast.

This lush and deep forest was full of people, and apart from the slight rustling of leaves, only the roar of animals in the distance broke the dead silence. It must be that some unlucky person had entered the territory of the wild beasts, and either the wild beasts died or the token was crushed.

Xia Xiao looked up and saw that the treetops were still covered with a light mist. Although it could not block the sunlight, it obstructed his vision. He could only stay there for a long time without moving.

The moment they entered the talisman formation, everyone felt dizzy, including Xia Xiao, who had completely lost his sense of direction. Therefore, they had to keep calm and stay calm in order to survive and resist the attacks from Si Ying and others from the National Elders' Institute.

The area within a few miles is relatively safe. Xia Xiao used the power of the wood element to check and found no fluctuations from wild beasts or spiritual medicines, and no one was there.

Xia Xiao, who was very familiar with the rules, understood the law of the jungle in Wanling Valley. Although it was also the law of the jungle, few people eliminated each other at the beginning. Because those 500 points were far from enough to satisfy their ambitions.

When they first entered the Valley of Ten Thousand Spirits, the truly powerful would choose to hide, then defeat wild beasts, find spiritual medicines, and thereby improve their strength, or explore ruins. At the beginning of the third month, it was time to attack openly, and to eliminate anyone they saw. At that time, in addition to the original 500 token points, there were more. This was a contest of wits and strength.

As the saying goes, fatten the pigs first, then eat the meat!

Xia Xiao was not one of the powerful ones, but he was not a fish that could be slaughtered at will. He was special because the people from the National Elders' Institute had been looking for him since the moment they entered the Wanling Valley.

Just as Xia Xiao expected, Si Ying and his four men were looking for him in a big way. The contestants who passed by him were so scared that their legs were trembling, but fortunately, they did not eliminate them.

Half a day later, Xia Xiao set out to look for elixirs in the huge jungle. He couldn't just sit there doing nothing.

This was the first time Xia Xiao was separated from Shu Shuang. He was a little uncomfortable, but he also noticed his dependence on her.

While searching for the elixir, Xia Xiao also paid attention to the movements of the wild beasts. In order to implement the plan as usual, he had to find a strong enough wild beast. His voice was definitely not enough in this jungle, but the wild beasts had a loud roar. As long as he could lead the anxious people from the National Elders' Institute to the wild beast's territory and then anger it, not to mention the entire Wanling Valley, even most of the area would notice this place. That was the effect Xia Xiao wanted!

After landing, Xia Xiao's palm touched the ground, and the power of the wood element drew a different map in his mind.

“Found it!”

Xia Xiao raised the corner of his mouth, and his body was as fast as the wind. He jumped onto a tree, jumped onto the opposite branch, and picked a jade-colored fruit. The fruit was sweet and delicious, and there was a lot of juice. Xia Xiao finished a few bites and threw it away.

call out--

When the ground was covered with dust, Xia Xiao's figure had disappeared from the spot.

Soon, the mist in the mountains increased. Xia Xiao looked at the elixir in his hand and frowned.

The spiritual medicine in his hand was also a fruit, but it was nothing compared to the one he found in the afternoon. Xia Xiao was chewing it while thinking of a solution.

He went in the wrong direction. What a bad start!

In the Wanling Valley, because of his poor sense of direction, Xia Xiao could only distinguish the inside and the outside by the difference in spiritual medicine. Because the Wanling Valley was like the Wild Beast Forest, the further you went in, the more abundant the vitality was. This spiritual medicine reflected this difference. If you want to find a strong enough wild beast, you must go inside!

Although Xia Xiao could also sense through the power of wood, Wanling Valley was too large, and in that narrow area of ​​three kilometers, the fluctuations of vital energy were extremely small, so it was of no use.

call--

A cool breeze blew by, and the fog around them became thicker and thicker, and the air became much colder. Taking a breath into the lungs, it made people shiver. Xia Xiao knew that the thick fog indicated the change of day and night, and the purpose was to let them keep track of time by themselves!

Even though he was wearing a thick fur coat, Xia Xiao's body was still trembling slightly. He felt better after pulling out a rolled-up thin blanket from his small backpack and wrapping it around himself.

From now on, Xia Xiao will wait for the fog to dissipate and the sun to rise. As for traveling at night, Xia Xiao is not prepared to do so, it is too dangerous.

Logically speaking, practitioners with the power of wood are not afraid of this situation. But Wanling Valley is in the talisman formation, and this fog is a trick used by the people in the dynasty. He can't sense it at all, so he can only wait.

The cold air Xia Xiao exhaled quickly merged with the mist. Although it was cold, he could bear it. He had expected this situation before coming here, but compared with the Snow Dragon Pass and Cangyun Peak, it was nothing at this time. Curling up, Xia Xiao sat on the branch, hugging his knees, and his resolute eyes gradually closed.

The night was long and Wanling Valley was especially silent, as if it was deserted.

On the westernmost cliff, the emperor stood up and returned to the palace. Everyone else also left, leaving only the young teacher, who was still watching what was happening in the valley.

At this time, the valley was full of fog, but in his eyes, everything was clear. However, the one who concerned him the most was Xia Xiao!

A moment ago, a person from the National Elderly Institution passed by Xia Xiao.

During the days since they came to the Great Xia Dynasty, they learned through their own channels that Si Buwen had done something bad to Xia Xiao, and found his henchmen. But the man passed by Xia Xiao and didn't even notice that the latter was sitting among the trees a hundred meters away. Xia Xiao's wood element power made him look like a tree, blending into the jungle, making it difficult to distinguish.

In the distance, Si Ying was coming with great force. Like the other four people, he had been searching all night, and one could imagine his vicious intentions.

After an unknown amount of time, Fang Hai appeared next to the young teacher.

"how?"

"Within seven days, they will definitely meet."

Fang Hai put his hands behind his back and shook his head secretly.

"Go ahead and make a fuss, no matter how much you make, we're going to get him!"

Fang Hai's tone was cold, but he had made up his mind. This was a decision made by the highest authority in Ningshen College - the vice-president, and he would definitely carry it out seriously!

The young teacher named Chuan Lian listened and looked at the talisman formation again. If this kid knew that he had such a backer, he would have walked sideways a long time ago. In fact, he didn't understand Xia Xiao. Even if the latter knew, he would still do his own thing, just like he had long lost interest in the identity of a person who came from afar. He would not be like a country bumpkin who thought he was great and arrogant.

"Team leader, the chief elder of the National Elders' Institute is too arrogant. Should we remind King Xia?"

Fang Hai frowned when he heard this. Chuan Lian saw that the face under the lantern was apologetic, and he knew that he had said something wrong.

"Feel sorry."

"Chuan Lian, you were once a member of the Great Xia Dynasty. I understand how you feel. It must be hard to see the dynasty in such a mess. But since you became a teacher, you are a member of Ningshen Academy. You should know what you can and cannot do."

"Thank you for your teachings, Captain. It was Chuan Lian who was confused."

Chuan Lian was naturally a strong man, but in Fang Hai's eyes, he was still too young. Since he was young, it was normal for him to make mistakes.

"This National Elders' Council thinks they have a long-term vision, but in fact they are blinded by the power and ambition of the world, just like the people of Rongcheng you mentioned before, there is no essential difference. But the power in front of them is too great, and once they take action, they can't take it back."

Fang Hai remained calm, his heart was as peaceful as a lake without a single ripple. Chuan Lian secretly admired him, thinking that he needed to improve his cultivation and not keep trying to catch up with him.

The two wore white robes, which could hardly be stained with a dark color even in the dark night. The teachers of Ningshen Academy were not ordinary people. When the thick fog dissipated and dawn broke, the first audience came to the square in a fur coat.

That was Huiyue. When she saw Xia Xiao in the talisman formation, she felt a little distressed, but she also prayed, hoping that he would return safely.

In the talisman array, Xia Xiao's eyelashes were covered with frost, and his hair was also frozen. When the first ray of light shone into the valley, the thick fog around him slowly dissipated. Xia Xiao stood up almost reflexively and then landed.

After his palm touched the ground, Xia Xiao was relieved after confirming that there was no one within a three-kilometer radius. Before going to bed, Xia Xiao remembered the direction he should go, and then he continued to move.

Xia Xiao walked for seven days, and found eleven spiritual herbs in seven days, all of which he ate. Now there is no time to make them into medicinal pills, so this is the only way. When Xia Xiao stopped, a hint of excitement finally appeared on his face.

"It's you!"
