When my cultivation is recovering, the sect comes to persuade me to quit? I agree!

Rong Xueer was shocked.

"Snow Fox! Why is there a Snow Fox in this outskirts?"

Lu Chen shook his head.

"Although this is not the habitat of spiritual beasts, things are unpredictable and accidents often happen."

Rong Xueer couldn't hold back her tears and started crying, biting her lips.

Before coming, Rong Xueer knew that the forest was full of dangers, so they didn't dare to go deep into the forest.

But unexpectedly, such an accident still happened.

Rong Xueer was in mixed feelings.

From childhood to adulthood, I have never had such an experience as this, with fine clothes and jade clothes.

This time, Rong Xueer felt panic and helplessness for the first time.

Originally, he went to collect herbs for his mother without telling his father, but he didn't expect an accident to happen.

After a long time, Rong Xueer mustered up the courage to look at Lu Chen.

"Brother Lu, can you please take me out first? This forest is too dangerous."

Lu Chen was a little hesitant; he didn't want to leave so early.

And we had agreed just now that Rong Xueer would follow me out of the forest, instead of me sending her back.

Lu Chen thought that he was not the Bodhisattva Guanyin who saves people from suffering.

But facing Rong Xueer, Lu Chen felt a little embarrassed.

The other party was honest with himself and told him his identity and purpose one by one.

It would be a bit unreasonable to leave her alone in this forest at this time.

Rong Xueer saw Lu Chen's hesitation, so she spoke quickly.

"Brother Lu, as long as you send me to the Imperial City and I meet my father, I will let my father thank you profusely."

"That's not necessary. I wanted to hand you over to your guards, but they are gone now."

"So are you willing to send me back? My life and property are in your hands."

Maybe because she was anxious, Rong Xueer's tone was a little urgent when she spoke, and she spoke about her life and property as soon as she opened her mouth.

Lu Chen suddenly felt that the burden on him had become much heavier.

At the same time, there is some regret.

I should have been cruel enough to refuse to go with her, then this accident wouldn't have happened.

"I can take you back, but you must listen to me along the way and not make decisions on your own."

Although he had agreed, Lu Chen's expression was extremely serious.

After hearing this, Rong Xueer's face showed joy.

Now in Rong Xueer's eyes, the person in front of her is her life-saving straw, her hope for survival.

"Thank you, Brother Lu. I will definitely listen to you."

Thinking that the person in front of her would send her back, a smile finally appeared on her sad face, and Rong Xueer's mood also became relieved.

The sun was setting in the west and night was about to fall. Lu Chen found some dry firewood from the surroundings and started a fire. He also took out some dry food from his space bag.

As night falls, in the pitch-black darkness, the roar of beasts can be heard from time to time.

Rong Xueer shivered and looked around from time to time.

But it was pitch black all around and I couldn't see anything.

The roars of the beasts became louder and louder.

Feeling really uneasy, Rong Xueer had no choice but to stand up and take a few steps closer to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen said calmly, "Don't be afraid, they are still far away from me. After eating some dry food, we can find a safe place to rest."

For Rong Xueer, the forest at night was even more terrifying. The cries and roars of ferocious beasts made Rong Xueer very nervous.

"Brother Lu, do you think a spirit beast will appear now?"

Lu Chen added a piece of firewood to the fire and said only briefly.

"I don't know. This is my first time in this kind of forest."

Rong Xueer spoke tremblingly.

"But...but I'm scared! Can I get closer to you?"

Lu Chen was helpless and instinctively wanted to refuse.

But seeing Rong Xueer's trembling little body, he finally nodded reluctantly.

With Lu Chen's permission, Rong Xueer approached Lu Chen again.

The fire here got a little bigger, and Rong Xueer felt a little more secure.

This time, Rong Xueer plucked up the courage to look up.

Under the light of the fire, Rong Xueer finally saw clearly the appearance of the man in front of her.

He is handsome, with distinct features, and the angles on his face look like they were carved with a knife.

This is the look every girl dreams of.

Rong Xueer has reached the age of falling in love for the first time. When she looked at Lu Chen, two red clouds flew across her face involuntarily.

As long as a person has a kind heart and is responsible, and has good cultivation, if...

As soon as an idea came to her mind, Rong Xueer quickly lowered her head.

Afraid that people around her would see her little thoughts, Rong Xueer quickly spoke to hide her embarrassment.

"Brother Lu, can we go out early tomorrow morning?"

Huang Chen nodded.

"Row."

After the two of them finished their dry food and barbecue, Lu Chen stood up.

"You go to sleep, I'll be on duty."

Rong Xueer said thank you from the bottom of her heart.

The next morning, the two packed up and wanted to continue their journey.

Rong Xueer suddenly looked at Lu Chen with some embarrassment.

“Brother Lu, I want to go and see the bodies of Uncle Zhang and Uncle Li.

"I want to bury them so that they can rest in peace."

Lu Chen did not agree immediately, but thought about it.

Normally, the Snow Fox should have left after one night.

There should be no danger at this time.

"Who are they to you? Just guards to protect you?"

Rong Xueer bit her lip.

"They are guards, but in my opinion they are more like family members."

After hearing Rong Xueer say this, Lu Chen stopped asking any more questions.

This kind of situation often occurs in the royal family.

The emperor was busy with affairs and did not have much time to accompany his children, so the guards and maids who had taken care of the princesses and princes since childhood became the most trusted people of the princes and princesses.

Seeing how sad Rong Xueer was, I guess those two people must have been extremely good to her.

"Let's go."

Lu Chen said this lightly, and then led the way.

Soon, he brought Rong Xueer to the place they discovered yesterday.

Just as Lu Chen thought, the Snow Fox had already left.

But the situation before us was horrific.

The stomachs of the two guards were emptied by the Snow Fox, and their bodies were mutilated.

In fact, there were bloodstains all around.

When Rong Xueer saw this, her face turned pale.

If she hadn't been holding back, Rong Xueer would have almost fallen to the ground.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault. If I hadn't been so stubborn, this wouldn't have happened!"

Rong Xueer looked remorseful.

Next to him, Lu Chen spoke up to remind him.

"We can't stay here for long. We have to hurry up. The snow fox may come back."

After hearing these words, Rong Xueer couldn't help but shudder.

Taking a deep breath, Rong Xueer tried to calm herself down.

Then, the two men found a place with loose soil, dug two pits, buried the bodies of the two men, and left quickly.

Lu Chen and Rong Xueer's target was the outskirts of the forest.

They had just walked a short distance when Lu Chen suddenly stopped and his expression became serious.

"What's wrong? Is there anything going on?"

Having just buried the guard beside her, Rong Xueer seemed a little absent-minded, so she was also a little relaxed about the situation around her.

Seeing Lu Chen suddenly stop, Rong Xueer's heart skipped a beat and she asked instinctively.

Lu Chen sensed a hint of unusual aura.

There is something familiar, but I can't put my finger on it.

While I was thinking about it, a thudding sound suddenly came from not far away.

Rong Xueer instinctively grasped the hilt of the sword.

Lu Chen's gaze was looking several dozen meters away.

immediately.

Lu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. No wonder he had a familiar feeling just now. It turned out to be a celestial lion beast.

This celestial lion beast is extremely similar to the previous four-winged celestial lion beast, but there are some differences.

Although it has the body of a lion, the celestial lion beast in front of him has no wings.

It... shouldn't fly into the air.

After confirming this, Lu Chen compared the huge creature in front of him with the leopard before.

The Tianshi beast is more muscular than the leopard, although its speed is not as fast as the leopard.

However, the attack and defense capabilities of this behemoth are still superior to those of the leopard.

Fortunately, the Tianshi beast in front of him was just a mid-level monster. While foraging, he discovered Lu Chen and Rong Xueer.

When the Tianshi beast was about ten meters away from Lu Chen and the others, it suddenly stopped.

The Tianshi beast had cold eyes and stared at Lu Chen motionlessly.

Hide your breath and be ready to rush forward at any time!

Seeing Lu Chen approaching towards him, the Tianshi beast suddenly jumped out from the bushes!

The air around was filled with murderous aura. The celestial lion beast bared its fangs and pounced towards Lu Chen!

The sudden attack caught Rong Xueer off guard. When she realized the danger, the Tianshi beast had already arrived in front of Lu Chen!

Although his hand was on the hilt of the sword, it was too late to draw the sword!

In a panic, Rong Xueer grabbed the corner of Lu Chenzi's clothes.

"be careful!"

Before he finished speaking, Lu Chen had already crawled on the ground, pressing Rong Xueer's head down.

"Hoohoo!"

The celestial lion beast flew over the heads of Lu Chen and Rong Xueer.

As soon as the Tianshi beast's front legs touched the ground, its two hind legs stretched out their sharp claws and kicked backwards hard!

There were huge rocks on the ground, and the surface of the rocks was scratched by the sharp claws of the Tianshi beast!

Lu Chen thought that the beast in front of him would only use one fierce attack and then calm down.

Who knew, but there would be attacks one after another.

Without any choice.

Lu Chen had no choice but to lie on the ground and roll over quickly to avoid the attack of the Tianshi beast.

But just as he dodged, the Tianshi beast turned around and pounced on Lu Chen again.

Rong Xueer was frightened, and when she came to her senses, she had already been pinned to the ground by Lu Chen.

Taking advantage of the moment when the Tianshi Beast was attacking Lu Chen, Rong Xueer hurriedly drew out the Green Water Sword from her body and stabbed it towards the neck of the Tianshi Beast!

"Zheng!"

The sharp sound of breaking wind pierces the eardrums.

Tianshimon sensed danger and turned back quickly.

Seeing the sharp sword coming towards him, Tianshi Beast turned around and dodged Rong Xueer's attack!

At the same time, the thick tail swept straight towards Rong Xueer's back.

Growing up in the palace, Rong Xueer lived a life of luxury.

Although he had received guidance from seniors in cultivating immortals, he had never fought against such a large monster.

Rong Xueer has nothing but passion but no combat experience.

He watched as the tail of the Tianshimon rushed towards him.

Rong Xueer did not choose to dodge at the first moment, but stood there in a daze.

At this moment, Tianshimon's tail swept directly onto her back!

There was a huge impact force and Rong Xueer almost flew out!

So much so that the whole body suddenly lunged forward a few steps.

Fortunately, she used the Green Water Sword to touch the ground to support her body and did not fall.

Taking advantage of this gap, Lu Chen quickly turned over and stood up from the ground. At the same time, he drew out the ancient sword and prepared for battle.

At this moment, someone not far away suddenly clapped.

"Not bad, not bad! I didn't expect to encounter a mid-level Sky Lion beast here. Although the quality of the demon pill is not high, it can be used as is."

Lu Chen looked in the direction of the voice and was stunned.

Then the expression on Lu Chen's face turned cold.

The person in front of me is someone I am very familiar with.

Beili Royal Secret Guard, Qi Wangyue!

There were four men in black following Qi Wangyue.

At the same time, Qi Wangyue also saw clearly that the person in front of him was Lu Chen.

After a moment's hesitation, he still managed a smile on his face.

Good luck today!

No matter how hard you try, you won't be able to find anything, and it won't take any effort at all!

Lu Chen, now that we meet here, you are doomed!

The emperor has given the order to take action against Lu Chen as soon as the right opportunity arises!

Lu Chen’s head is worth tens of thousands of high-level spirit stones!

While feeling excited, Qi Wangyue looked at Lu Chen's waist again.

Lu Chen now has a valuable treasure on him!

After the Nine Yang Competition that day, Qi Ze informed Lu Chen of the situation in detail.

Not only does he have a secret realm on him, but he also has a mineral heart!

As long as I get the Star of the Mineral Vein, who can compete with me?

Take a deep breath.

Qi Wangyue, various situations began to appear in his mind.

If I can take Lu Chen's life here, the first thing I can do is report to the emperor.

Second, those treasures will be yours.

This... is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

opposite.

Lu Chen's heart moved.

If it was just this one Heavenly Lion Beast, he could deal with it easily, but if there was another Qi Wangyue, it would become a bit tricky.

As the leader of the Beili royal secret guards, Qi Wangyue has been conserving his strength.

They hadn't fought for a while, so Lu Chen didn't know what level Qi Wangyue's cultivation had reached.

Plus, there are four people behind him now...

If they choose to do it to themselves, they will be in trouble.

But at this moment, Rong Xueer was beside him.

How to deal with this situation?

the other side.

Tianshimon also discovered that there were suddenly five more people!

Although the current Tianshi beast is not a spiritual beast, it has already acquired some intelligence.

Seeing there were so many people, he immediately yelled at Qi Wangyue and others, then quickly turned around and fled!

Rong Xueer stood up straight. He heard what Qi Wangyue had just said.

Although he was greeting her with a smile, Rong Xueer had already noticed the meaningful hint of expectation in her eyes.
