It was pitch dark in the forest, and Xiao Ye found that he happened to land on a dense tree. In the grass about ten meters away from him, there were indeed two cultivators with swords hidden in the grass.

One of them is older, about fifty years old. The golden elixir in his Nascent Soul is shining with a light red light, indicating that he is in the first level of the Nascent Soul stage. From the color difference, another conclusion can be drawn:

His Nascent Soul was only born not long ago.

The other person was younger, probably only around 20 years old, with only one golden elixir in his body and no Nascent Soul.

I heard the young man gritting his teeth and asking: "Master, look at that Qilin and that cultivator coming to prey on our spiritual beasts again, why don't we seek revenge on them?"

"Disciple, it's not that we don't want to retaliate, it's because the time has not yet come."

"Master, this unicorn is extremely fast. Is it because none of us can catch it?"

"It doesn't mean much to catch it, it's just a small fish."

"Who is the big fish?"

"When you catch a big fish, you'll know it."

When Xiao Ye heard what the two said, his heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself: They really have a conspiracy, do they want to target him?

The young man asked again: "Master, they come to prey on our spiritual beasts every day. If this continues, how many spiritual beasts will we have to sacrifice?"

"Don't worry so much. Elder Tong will compensate us. Okay, stop talking nonsense and inform your senior brother immediately to release three more black-horned water rhinos."

Who is Elder Tong?

Xiao Ye probably already knew that all this was arranged by them.

At this time, Xiao Ye saw the young man get up and get out of the grass, and quickly released a gray bird into the forest. After a while, the little bird flew quickly through the forest and went straight to Nucang.

Go downstream of the river.

After the young man let go of the messenger bird, he continued to return to the old man. The two lurked again, but did not speak again and did not move much for a long time.

Xiao Ye felt strange. After taking a closer look, he found that each of them was holding a long box. Their eyes fell on it, looking at it very intently. A faint light overflowed from the box. From the small piece of light, it was faint.

You can see a row of strange characters inside, and from time to time one pops out and flies into their eyebrows. A very helpful look suddenly appears on their faces.

They seem to be attracting spiritual energy through such boxes.

Xiao Ye suddenly remembered that he had gotten a similar box from the belly of the giant centipede a few days ago. He couldn't open it at that time. Could it be that this kind of box does not need to be opened, but is like a piggy bank?

It was just used to store spiritual power. Xiao Ye secretly thought that when he returned to the camp later, he would take out the box and take a good look at it.

After another half an hour, Xiao Ye saw three rhinoceros swimming slowly towards Jiang Xin. Only now did Xiao Ye know that these three rhinos might be the black-horned water rhinoceros that the two masters and apprentices had arranged just now and deliberately gave them to him.

Fish ride on the wind and Xiaomei hunts.

Xiao Ye secretly thought that he had to stop Yu Chengfeng and Xiaomei, so he used his consciousness to tell Qiankun Ruyi Bracelet in his heart and immediately turned himself back to them.

When Xiao Ye instantly landed in the forest not far from Yu Chengfeng and Xiaomei, he found that Yu Chengfeng was staring at the three black-horned water rhinoceros in the center of the river and was about to move. Xiao Ye quickly sent a message to them and ordered them to return to the military camp immediately.

!

Yu Chengfeng kicked its hooves very reluctantly. Xiaomei quickly sat on its back and patted its horns twice firmly. Yu Chengfeng then shook his head in disappointment and walked back in small steps.

After turning around the mountain col, Xiao Ye flew down on Yu Chengfeng's back and sat in front of Xiaomei out of habit.

Yu Chengfeng was like a stalling old horse, walking very slowly, and complained loudly to Xiao Ye: "Master, didn't you see three more spiritual beasts coming from the center of the river?"

Xiao Ye said expressionlessly: "I saw it."

"Since you saw them, why don't you let me hunt them?"

Xiao Ye said coldly: "That's bait!"

Yu Chengfeng said unconvinced: "No matter what kind of bait it is, no one in this world is as fast as me. Even if I hunt them, no one can catch me!"

Xiaomei asked thoughtfully: "Cousin, how did you know that it was bait?"

Xiao Ye explained with a cold face: "I went to the forest on the other side just now and found two cultivators hiding there. The three spiritual beasts that just appeared in the river are called one-horned water rhinoceros, and they were released intentionally.

of!"

Xiaomei was stunned for a moment and quickly asked: "Why do they do this?"

"I don't know either." Xiao Ye patted Yu Chengfeng's head and said seriously, "You are not allowed to go out to hunt those spiritual beasts again in the future, remember?"

Yu Chengfeng hummed and nodded, feeling unhappy.

When the two people and the beast were about three hundred meters away from the military camp, Xiao Ye suddenly asked Yu Chengfeng to stop, and Yu Chengfeng asked angrily: "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Ye pointed to the brightly lit military camp and said, "Why are there so many torches in there?"

Xiaomei looked up and was a little surprised: "Maybe something important happened."

Xiao Ye felt a little uneasy, so he urged Yu Chengfeng to go back quickly.

Yu Chengfeng used his four hooves to exert a little force, and rushed to the entrance of the military camp with a "swish" sound.

Xiao Ye suddenly saw that the entire camp gate was closed tightly. He was about to ask the fish to jump over the wooden fence in the wind, but at this time, the camp gate opened unexpectedly.

Two rows of soldiers in bright armor rushed out holding a torch in one hand and a sword in the other, tightly surrounding Xiao Ye, Xiaomei and Yu Chengfeng.

Xiao Ye was secretly surprised. The scene in front of him made him feel like he had walked into an enemy ambush. Moreover, these two rows of soldiers were not the same people from the previous camp!

If he hadn't seen them wearing Xia Jinguo's military uniforms, Xiao Ye might have thought that the military camp had been taken over by someone.

Immediately afterwards, a green-robed Taoist priest with a white beard hanging down to his chest came out of the camp. His eyes were very stern, as if someone owed him money and had not paid back. Next to him, unexpectedly, there was an acquaintance of Xiao Ye's.

It was Qiu Xue! At this time, Qiu Xue also had a serious look on his face and had no intention of greeting Xiao Ye at all.

Song Kuizheng lowered his head, bowed his waist slightly, and followed them cautiously.

Xiao Ye took a closer look and found out that the green-robed Taoist priest was the master beside Luo Long, Taoist Master Yuanfeng from Tiansheng Sect, who was also Qiu Xue's junior uncle.

Why is this old guy here?

Xiao Ye turned over and jumped from Yu Chengfeng to the ground. He stepped forward and cupped his hands to the Taoist Priest Yuanfeng, and said, "Xiao Ye has met the Taoist Priest! I wonder if the Taoist Priest is here late at night. Is there something urgent?"

Although Taoist Master Yuanfeng won Luo Long's trust, he did not have any official title and did not wear official uniforms. Therefore, Xiao Ye respected him because he was an elder, but he did not need to be like him.
