Chapter 179 - The two of them travelling together"Brother Luo He, just how big is your storage ring?"
Xiang Yun was still filled with shock as he looked at the dark green storage ring in Luo He"s hand. Thinking back to the scene just now where Luo He had placed the giant beast within the storage ring, his heart still filled with shock.
Previously, Luo He had actually managed to completely separate the bodies of the Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion and the three Cloud Beasts at the mountainside in just two hours, allowing Xiang Yuntong to take them into his possession.
Naturally, Xiang Yun wasn"t willing to do this. He had said that he would share these things equally with Luo He, but Luo He had refused to accept it. Xiang Yun, however, had also insisted on his own opinion.Helpless, Luo He suggested that they give him the Spirit Devouring Beetle"s corpse. Xiang Yun accepted all the other items, saying that this Spirit Devouring Beetle"s body was extremely precious and not inferior to the other items. Thus, Xiang Yun reluctantly agreed.
However, the Spirit Devouring Beetle"s body was far too large. It was like a small mountain, and even Luo He"s dagger could not cut it open. Xiang Yun was currently figuring out how Luo He was going to take it away.However, he didn"t expect Luo He to raise her hand so casually. The storage ring on her finger released a misty light that enveloped the entire spirit devouring bug"s body and directly stored it inside her storage ring. It was extremely simple.
Xiang Yun did not know just how big Luo He"s storage ring was. In any case, his storage ring was completely empty after he had dissected Luo He"s Cloud Beast"s body.
However, the Spirit Devouring Beetle"s body was several times larger than all of these combined. Luo He had actually easily absorbed it.Facing Xiang Yun"s question, the latter only replied, "This is a storage ring that my father bought for me. The size of its s.p.a.ce is not bad."
Xiang Yun really did not know what to say, so he simply chose to keep his mouth shut. Now, he finally knew what it meant to truly be wealthy. Other people might have money, but they did not brag about it.After the two of them shared the bodies of the Cloud Beasts on the mountain, they headed towards the southeast, directly towards the northwest border of the Windy Nation, in the direction of Qin Feng City.
Luo He had originally wanted to lead the way, but Xiang Yun had insisted that he lead the way, allowing Luo He to point the way.
Luo He did not insist on this matter. Thus, Xiang Yun used the Wandering Dragon Sword to slice through the thorns and thorns in front of them as he led the way.
From beginning to end, Xiang Yun"s body had been stretched taut, maintaining a highly alert state. In the event of danger, he had to ensure that he could unleash his full power.
One must know that this was the deepest part of the Silvermoon Forest, and the four directions were filled with high-grade Cloud Beasts. With their strength, as long as they were unlucky, they could easily lose their lives.If there was the slightest movement in front of him, Xiang Yun would immediately stretch out his hands to protect Luo He. At the same time, he lowered his body and inspected his surroundings through the gaps between the trees and gra.s.s.
Only after confirming that there was no danger behind him, would he stealthily turn his head and silently open his mouth to Luo He who was behind him. Only then did he cast a look of relief, as if he was afraid that Luo He would be frightened.
What Xiang Yun didn"t know was that while he was up ahead looking for danger and searching with all his mind, Luo He was just as cautious as he was.However, his expression was relaxed and carefree, as if he were taking a stroll in a leisurely manner. Looking at Xiang Yun"s extremely cautious back, the latter couldn"t help but smile, exclaiming in his heart, "Interesting!"
He was clearly nervous and scared, his body was as tight as a spring, and cold sweat was dripping down his forehead. However, every time he saw any movement in his surroundings, he would act like a baby hen and quickly reach out to protect himself.
After confirming that there was no danger, he forced himself to remain calm. He turned his head and opened his mouth to speak. Although there was no sound, Luo He could clearly see that Xiang Yun was saying, "It"s fine, don"t worry!"
Then, the latter would once again stand up and unhesitatingly lead the way.
"This guy is really interesting."
Luo He stared at Xiang Yun"s back as she quietly muttered in her heart. The smile at the corner of her mouth grew even wider.
This time, it was a gentle and mischievous look of a young girl.
However, the smile on Luo He"s face flickered as it instantly transformed into a terrified expression akin to the cry of a crane.This was because Xiang Yun had stopped walking once more. He abruptly turned his head and pressed down on Luo He"s shoulder, gesturing for him to crouch down.
"What"s wrong?" Luo He"s face was filled with terror.
"There"s movement to the west. It seems to be hiding something?""Ah, could it be some powerful Cloud Beast?" Luo He asked, trembling with fear.
"I don"t know. I"ll go take a look. You stay here and don"t move."After Xiang Yun settled down Luo He, he quietly pushed aside the weeds in front of him and crept towards the trees in the west, getting closer.
Arriving behind a large tree, they were not far from the sound they had made earlier. Xiang Yun stealthily pushed aside a few thick pieces of paper hanging down from the tree and looked ahead.
"Puff puff puff!"
With a sudden movement, a black raven the size of a grown man"s palm shot out from the pile of gra.s.s a few meters away from Xiang Yun. With a squirming reptile in its beak, it flew towards the large tree next to him!
The latter had appeared very suddenly, causing Xiang Yun, who had been on high alert, to shudder in fear. He abruptly took a step back and let out a low cry, raising his sword as if he wanted to chop it down.
Seeing that it was only a crow, Xiang Yun immediately let out a long sigh.
"f.u.c.k, a little crow is also coming to scare me. Do you believe that I won"t chop you into pieces and let you drink the stew?!"
Xiang Yun cursed hatefully in his heart as he looked up at Crow, who was currently staring at him with a dark glint in her eyes. She waved the longsword in her hand as a threat, and only after the latter had flapped his wings and flew away did Xiang Yun turn back."Brother Wei, are you alright? What was that sound just now? Did you encounter a Cloud Beast?"
Xiang Yun felt a little awkward. If Luo He knew that he had been frightened into such a state by a crow, she would definitely despise him. Thus, Xiang Yun"s eyes widened as he made a rather shocked expression.
"Aiyo, Brother Luo He, you don"t know this, but a large black bird flew out from the forest just now. It"s as tall as half a person and its wings spread out to a width of one or two zhang."
"I originally wanted to kill it, but then I thought that this place was too dangerous, so I decided to let it go. I just yelled at it to let it retreat, but it"s fine now, so you don"t need to worry."
"Oh." Luo He"s eyes flashed when she heard this. She gave Xiang Yun a thumbs up. "Brother Wei, you"re really amazing!"Hearing this, Xiang Yun enjoyed himself greatly. He immediately said in a good mood, "Brother Luo He, with me here, you can rest a.s.sured that I will definitely protect you."
Before Xiang Yun could finish boasting, Luo He frowned and said to Xiang Yun, "Brother Wei, let"s hurry on our way. We"ll head east first. I remember the map. This is the way to go."
Xiang Yun did not dare to delay any longer. He immediately gripped the Wandering Dragon Sword in his hand and acted as the vanguard following the direction Luo He pointed to. He continued onward while Luo He followed closely behind.Xiang Yun hadn"t noticed that as Luo He followed behind him, her eyes turned back as they shone with a bright light!
At the same time, in a lush forest several kilometers away from the two, a snow-white bone bat was hanging upside down from a thousand-year-old ancient tree branch.
This White Bone Bat stared with a pair of scarlet eyes. Its bone wings the size of a palm-leaf fan flapped rapidly and an invisible ripple rapidly approached from the east.
When the ripple came in contact with the dense forest, the two young humans who were walking forward actually quickly returned and returned into the bat"s white body.
"Creak!"
A strange, hoa.r.s.e cry was emitted from this White Bone Bat"s mouth. The latter"s blood-red eyes suddenly glowed, revealing a faint blood-thirsty excitement!
However, just as it was about to release its talons and flap its bone wings, it was about to soar into the sky.
"Boom!"
A surge of formless, powerful waves surged forward like a flood that had broken through a dike. They brought with them an unstoppable momentum as they crashed into the body of the White Bone Bat!
The invisible wave instantly charged into the body of the White Bone Bat. The latter"s body suddenly stiffened before it emitted a heart-wrenching shriek. Immediately, it suddenly fell from the hundred-meter-tall tree to the ground.
The White Bone Bat struggled in the snow as black blood flowed out of its mouth and nose.
The latter cried out in pain and struggled for half an incense stick of time. Finally, it weakly flapped its bone wings and flew away with great difficulty.
It faced the direction of the two young humans and flapped its bone wings with all its might. Its pair of blood-red eyes were already filled with shock and horror.
At the same time, Luo He, who was following closely behind Xiang Yun, snorted coldly in her heart. A sliver of disdain appeared involuntarily in her eyes as she looked at the youth who was cautiously walking forward. He laughed softly and shook his head.
When the two of them left the cave, it was already noon. After walking for half a day, the dark forest became even dimmer after the sun had set. The cold wind was bone-chilling!
The Silvermoon Forest was always covered in snow and ice, so the temperature was very low. When night fell, it was especially cold. Even though Xiang Yun had a strong physique, he still felt a bone-piercing chill.
Furthermore, the Cloud Beasts were moving more frequently during the night. Thus, Xiang Yun decided to first find a place to conceal himself and temporarily settle down for the night.
The two of them were quite lucky. Along the way, they did not encounter any Cloud Beasts. After they walked for about one kilometer, they found a hidden tree hole.
This was because the trees within the Silvermoon Forest were all ancient trees that had not been felled by anyone for hundreds or even thousands of years.
These trees were thick and well-developed. Each tree was at least a hundred meters tall, unlike the trees in Xiang Yun"s previous world.
The ancient tree they found was even thicker. It was more than three hundred feet tall, and its branches were lush and luxuriant like an emerald mountain range. There was a natural small hole at the foot of the tree.
Although it was just a small hole, it was compared to the size of the tree. To Xiang Yun and Luo He, the size of the s.p.a.ce within this hole was no less than a two story building.Once he entered the tree hole, Luo He"s Inch Heaven"s Edge was once again put to use. The latter threw it into the tree hole, and the latter automatically extended and tightly sealed the hole.
What was even more miraculous was that after blocking the cave entrance, it quickly changed from red to brown like the old tree. The two seemed to be made of the same thing.
He wanted to ask Luo He how much money he had spent on this treasure. However, the moment the words left his mouth, Xiang Yun decided not to ask any further, as he did not want to suffer another blow.Entering the tree hole, Xiang Yun first used the Wandering Dragon Sword to conjure up a small whirlwind, gathering the dust on the ground into a corner and creating a large empty s.p.a.ce.
He then took out a bundle of dry firewood and a small bag of wood shavings from his storage ring. He then used the Wandering Dragon Sword to rub away the rocks and the flying sparks ignited the wood shavings.
This morning, Xiang Yun had been very smart as he had collected a large amount of dried wood along the way. Because the area around the mountain the Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion was on was rather hot and without snow, the vegetation was very dry, so it was very suitable for a fire.
As soon as the bonfire was lit, the dark and cold tree hole immediately became bright and warm.The tree hole was naturally formed and was quite hidden. There were no signs of movement of the Cloud Beasts. The only difference was that the ground was slightly cold, but it was quickly warmed up by the bonfire.
In this world of ice and snow, in a forbidden area where humans and beasts ran rampant, it was truly rare to have such a warm and bright place that shielded the wind and rain.
Xiang Yun and Luo He sat facing each other in front of a bonfire. The chilly cold night had such a bright bonfire. The two youths who had been inside the dark mountain cave for the past few days unconsciously felt their bodies and minds relax.
Xiang Yun looked at Luo He through the fire. He wasn"t sure if it was an illusion, but he actually felt that there seemed to be a subtle change in the latter"s expression.
Under the illumination of the flames, the originally gentle lines on Luo He"s handsome face seemed to become even more beautiful and gentle.At this moment, his long hair was drenched by the snow and evaporated by the fire. In the midst of the fog, the originally handsome face of the latter had gained a hint of charm to it, causing Xiang Yun to feel his heart beating faster!
