The night wind was somewhat seductive, blowing on the branches intermittently. Yan Ling lay under the tree with his eyes closed, his ears moving intermittently. Jiao Mi Guo on top of his head was snoring softly, curled up in Yan Ling's fur and sleeping soundly.
Zizhou was a light sleeper and didn't dare sleep too deeply. He didn't even change his clothes and slept in his clothes. This is not a safe place. Although Yan Ling is guarding it, some monsters have abilities that Yan Ling cannot detect. Zizhou needs to be alert all the time. So Zizhou fell asleep in a daze. He did not fall asleep, but he was able to rest.
In the second half of the night, Yan Ling, who was originally sleeping with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, stood up abruptly from the ground, and looked in one direction with bared teeth. His dim eyes were particularly conspicuous in the dark forest.
Jiao Miguo and Zizhou, who were sleeping, woke up. The location of Jiao Miguo's station was very suitable for delivering the message to Zizhou. Jiao Miguo rubbed his eyes, and looked towards the place where Yan Ling was hostile. With the help of Yan Ling's hair to cover it, no one noticed that there was a demon on the head of the Fiery Demon Fox, or to be more precise, a hamster.
The forest was very dark, without a trace of light. If it were not for the occasional glimpse of moonlight, this place would have seemed like an abyss, without any ripples.
"Host, Yan Ling discovered someone approaching, and it seems that he has sensed Yan Ling and is now hiding and not coming out. 』
Except for Yan Ling who was still on guard, there was no other change. However, Zizhou was not a blind person. He believed in Jiao Miguo and Yan Ling. Since there were people here, he would see what their plan was.
It seemed that the people on the opposite side were getting impatient, and a beam of fire came towards Yan Ling. Yan Ling dodged it nimbly, and his whole body glowed red. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he directly started the fire.
"Ahhhh!" ! 』
As Yan Ling called out, the surrounding forest began to burn. Before Yan Ling could expand the range, Zizhou spoke.
"Yan Ling, don't set fire to the mountain at night, it will be very difficult for your master~"
The person hiding in the darkness was very surprised. He didn't expect that this monster actually had an owner. It looked like a summoned beast or a contracted beast.
He quickly signaled to the rear, and although the light was dim, he still received instructions from his superiors.
The person who had been hiding in the dark came out and walked towards the tree guarded by the Flame Spirit.
Yan Ling was ready to dive, but Jiao Miguo on its head scratched the hair, signaling it not to be impulsive and to stay calm. Jiao Miguo had already told Zizhou about the people who came out, and now it depends on what the other party's purpose is. If they want to hurt Yan Ling, they don't recommend letting the other party "settle down" here in the future. If anything happens, they can understand each other.
"I'm sorry, I just thought it was just a demon. We were just passing by and we didn't mean any harm to us."
The man who came out was not very old, about thirty years old, and was dressed in ordinary clothes. If Zizhou had not learned through Jiao Miguo that this man was not simple but had no ill intentions, Zizhou would probably have simply thought that he was an explorer or hunter like him.
Zizhou went down anyway. The man looked at Zizhou in surprise. He didn't expect that the person who subdued this top-level demon general was so young. He looked only seventeen or eighteen years old. His behavior was not arrogant at all. He was obviously a well-educated person.
"It's nothing, after all, we're out in the wilderness, so it's normal to take precautions. Just make it clear. If you want to go, go ahead. This road belongs to everyone, so there's no such thing as can or can't. Don't worry, the Flame Spirit won't attack you again. I just thought it was an enemy and got a little nervous."
Zizhou smiled and answered the person opposite him. No matter whether it was true or not, Zizhou would not stop them. Although Zizhou could not use his mental power at the moment, several people were watching him, and he could still feel such an obvious thing in the middle of the night. It’s not safe now. If you dare to do anything in the middle of the night, only a fool would do it!
The person on the opposite side took one look at Zizhou and knew that he was telling the truth. He was a good kid. In fact, he himself could feel that Zizhou had been on guard against him, but that was normal. If someone was enthusiastic and generous from the beginning, there would be something fishy going on. That was when he would start to worry.
"Thanks!"
After saying that, he walked in the direction he had just come from. He must be reporting to someone, probably his leader.
Zizhou smiled and shook his head. No matter when, he would unconsciously put himself in the perspective of a corporate slave.
After a while, a group of people came over. Many of them were serious people. No, they were people with serious expressions and tense spirits. One of them was a middle-aged man in his fifties who was in the center of the group. It was no wonder that Zizhou paid attention to him. The main reason was that although this group of people seemed to be on guard, their attention was actually all on the middle-aged man in the middle.
Zizhou just took a look and didn't pay any more attention to it. As the saying goes, the more you know, the faster you die.
They didn't say anything, just walked silently. Zizhou's actions won their favor. People who know their limits make people feel comfortable.
The middle-aged man in the middle stopped when he was about to pass by Zizhou. Zizhou was still curious about what the other party was going to do, so he spoke for the middle-aged man.
"Are you Xiao Bingsen's student?"
Zizhou's eyes narrowed instantly, and he quickly distanced himself from the middle-aged man. The aura around him condensed, and even Yan Ling and Jiao Miguo became alert.
"You know my teacher?!"
The middle-aged man didn't mind Zizhou's reaction to him. If Zizhou had no reaction, he would have doubted how Xiao Bingsen accepted students.
He smiled gently, looked amiable, and waved his hand soothingly.
"I have no ill intentions. Your teacher and I are good friends. He told me about you. It seems that his vision is still so sharp. Not bad! I believe you will learn a lot from your teacher. Come on, kid!"
After saying this, he took everyone away without waiting for Zizhou's reaction.
Zizhou was confused, he felt that the other party had no ill intentions, he just said a simple thing. It seemed that he had to go back and confirm with his teacher who this person was. It was not simple. The aura and eyes were completely the attitude of a superior. It seemed that his teacher really had a wide range of friends!
Zizizhou couldn't fall asleep now, so he controlled himself and closed his eyes to take a rest. The other party had just left for a short time, and there were only two roads through the forest. One of them was no longer possible to run back, and the remaining one was not suitable to take now. What if the people in front thought he was following them?
And so, Zizhou closed his eyes until dawn. Feeling that the two sides had missed each other, Zizhou hurried back and finally returned to school three days later.
