"hiss."

Seeing the solemn expressions on Shen Weixun and Li Tingyun's faces after they quickly came to a conclusion, Xu Xingmu, who was originally still hesitating, finally came back to his senses from the miserable world of "their clan was robbed again".

He subconsciously hugged himself tightly, looking weak, pitiful and helpless, "No, you can't just pick on us to fleece the sheep, right?"

Even the forbidden areas of their sect were not spared. How cruel can one be?

Xu Xingmu couldn't help but become suspicious at this moment, and looked around vigilantly, fearing that someone would suddenly rush out and catch them all in one fell swoop.

My mind is filled with the thought that there are always villains who want to harm me.

Grass.

I never felt that their sect’s forbidden area was so cold before?

In response to this, Shen Weixun was speechless for a moment.

With the idea of 'caring' for his mentally retarded junior fellow apprentice, the young man slightly turned half of his face and told him calmly, "That's all in your mind."

So don't stick your head around and jump around like a regressive monkey, okay?

Li Tingyun's eyes were almost rolling to the back of his head.

He was too lazy to spray.

"Anyway, let's be careful." After all, in this situation, there is a high possibility that they will collide with each other.

The two sword cultivators also expressed their unanimous agreement with this.

Strictly speaking, they are now actually on the edge of the core area of the forbidden area. No one can predict what will happen if they go deeper.

Shen Weixun and Xu Xingmu had never been to this area before.

The three of them walked forward, and the light became dimmer and dimmer. Soon when they turned a corner of a huge stone wall, they suddenly felt someone touching their shoulders.

Because the force was so light, and all his attention was focused on the front at the moment, Xu Xingmu just moved his shoulders, and then continued to be alert to any movement around him with his sword.

They were prepared to strike a sword to the guy who dared to enter the depths of their forbidden area if they saw that the situation was not right.

Let the other person know that it is very rude to barge into someone else's home.

Until... someone touched his shoulder again.

Xu Xingmu took a step aside impatiently.

He thought it was the eldest senior brother or Li Tingyun, so he made some room for them.

The next second, my shoulder was touched again, and I could feel that the force this time seemed to be stronger than before.

Okay, okay, it’s never going to end, right?

Xu Xingmu turned his head and said in dissatisfaction, "What are you doing? Li Tingyun, please stop patting my shoulder, okay?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Tingyun's voice also rang out, with a bit of inexplicable meaning, "What are you doing? I'm just walking peacefully and have nothing to do, why would I pat your shoulder?"

Does he look like such a boring guy?

Li Tingyun said bluntly, "Are you sick?"

"Who else could it be if not you..." Xu Xingmu spoke without thinking, but before he finished his sentence he suddenly thought of something, and the rest of his voice gradually became lower and almost inaudible.

At the same time, the other two people also realized that something was wrong.

Xu Xingmu stiffened his neck and turned his head little by little. With the faint light coming through the narrow cracks in the stone, he could vaguely see Li Tingyun and the eldest senior brother walking a little further away.

Now the question is -

Who was the person who patted his shoulder several times just now?

Or should he ask weakly... Is that thing really a human?

*

Just when Xu Xingmu's mind was filled with all kinds of thoughts, he subconsciously stretched out his hand and his fingers accidentally touched something cold.

what?

Xu Xingmu pinched it reflexively, and then felt the thing slowly slide in his hand.

"???"

"I'll wipe it, I'll wipe it."

Xu Xingmu stepped back suddenly, his voice stuttering, "Move, move, move...it moved? Damn, it moved?"

This is even scarier, okay?

As he had no idea what it was, he subconsciously moved closer to the other people. The messy descriptions he heard were enough to give Li Tingyun goosebumps.

"Stop howling for now."

I hadn't figured out what was causing the trouble yet, and now it was even more frightening when I heard that big fool Xu Xingmu howling.

The two people's voices were getting louder and louder. Shen Weixun, who was sandwiched in the middle and whose eardrums were buzzing, had an expression of despair on his face.

It's really noisy.

The young man sighed slightly and rubbed his ears with one hand. Just as he was about to persuade them to calm down, he didn't expect Xu Xingmu to grab him and jump onto his back as if he had seen a ghost.

"..."

Shen Weixun was strangled and almost couldn't breathe for a while. He said weakly, "Let go of your claws."

Xu Xingmu: "I don't."

He still felt that strange, slowly moving touch on his shoulder, and he was unwilling to let it go no matter what.

Although he was usually not afraid of demons and monsters, and he would still laugh even when facing the roars of the elders, he decided to decline this thing that he didn't know what it was.

However, just as the three of them were about to get together and carefully examine the shadowy corners around the stone wall, something unexpected happened.

Xu Xingmu, who was originally screaming, suddenly stopped shouting, and the air suddenly became quiet. Shen Weixun keenly noticed that the hand he was holding stiffened for a moment.

The next second, a cold light suddenly flashed in the dim environment.

Shen Weixun did not hesitate at all. He tore the koala-like person off his back with one move and threw him onto a rock nearby.

"boom--"

The loud noise made Li Tingyun look at him several more times, "Did he use too much force?"

Xu Xingmu's amazing brain circuit was not very smart to begin with, so wouldn't he become even dumber after being hit like that?

Shen Weixun tilted his head to look at him, "How about you come?"

"..." Li Tingyun took a step back and said calmly, "Then forget it."

To be honest, you two are really a pair of 'good' brothers who have touched the world of cultivation.

Almost at the same time, they both recognized that the cold light just now came from Xu Xingmu's sword energy.

The young man's condition was obviously not right at the moment. With an expressionless face, he pulled himself out of the stone that had been smashed into a human shape. The bright sword shadow fell like a knife, and the obstructing stone instantly exploded and shattered into pieces.

If Shen Weixun had been a step slower, he would have been the one torn into pieces.

"Is this guy controlled?"

This guess flashed through Li Tingyun's mind quickly, and he suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a few fire-control talismans stuffed into his mustard seed bag by his junior brother.

To confirm this guess, he quickly turned it out and ignited it with spiritual power.

To be honest… he regretted it almost immediately.
