[Douluo] Dream of Thorns

In a sense, this is similar to what happened last night when Zhu Zhuqing retired from the fighting spirit field, so it is only natural that Zhu Zhuqing also woke up this time.Originally, she wasn't a sleepy person, but to be honest, Ji Tong was quite noisy.

For the first half of the night, she just felt uneasy. After all, she could feel Ji Tong turning over on the same bed.After that, Zhu Zhuqing knew about it from the moment she dug out the seed.The thing was quite hot, and Zhu Zhuqing couldn't sleep well. He woke up after being stimulated by the heat, but he didn't move. He also wanted to know what Ji Tong wanted to do.But when Ji Tong tied the thing on her wrist, she was a little at a loss.

In fact, she and Ji Tong are not that familiar, they just became roommates for a few days and had a two-on-two together, no matter how deep the friendship was, it was gone.Due to personal experience, Zhu Zhuqing is actually quite difficult to get along with people. She doesn't believe in people who are unconditionally nice to people.People don't have so much spare time to give unconditionally, they must have something to ask for, no matter how you ask for a good name, they have something to do.So when Ji Tong gave her the short blade last time, she didn't want to accept it. Later, when she heard that she wanted her to shut up and stop talking nonsense when she went out at night, she felt that this girl was making a big fuss—she didn't like nonsense either. The teacher doesn't ask who would sue indiscriminately in such a school with a strong school ethos.As for this time...

She didn't know what it was, but she could still feel its use.The hot air from that little gadget went all the way up along the veins, and the somewhat scalding temperature felt very comfortable in her current situation.No matter what, she should know that it was given to her because of the fight with Ye Zhiqiu, but why...

She just listened to Ji Tong's fast heartbeat slowly stabilized, and then there was no movement.

...You can't just want to sleep soundly, can you?But Ji Tong didn't sleep in the first half of the night...

She turned around, changed from lying flat to side lying with her back to Jitong, and reached out to touch something on her right wrist.It's just a flat ball the size of a fingertip, tied by a silk thread, but the owner's craftsmanship should be very good, and it won't be rough to the touch.She raised her hand and sniffed again, and there was a fresh fragrance of grass and trees.

It's not artificial, it's something on a plant... This thing should be quite rare - she made a conclusion.

So why did Ji Tong give her this kind of thing?Last time, the short blade was said to be a head-on, so I just took it away; this kind of rare thing, their relationship is really not so good.

Identity?Shouldn't be...

Zhu Zhuqing's thoughts were a little messy.It was Ji Tong who was tossing and turning just now, but now she can't sleep anymore - she turned her head to look at the long eyelashes of the girl next to her, and sighed.

Forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow morning.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhuqing closed his eyes resignedly, and still did not sleep well in the second half of the night.That being said, she was indeed much better off resting in the low temperature environment than in the first half of the night, but she still opened her eyes when Ji Tong sat up.Then she looked out the window, it was still dark.

"It's only ugly now, you can sleep for a while." Hearing the movement, Ji Tong looked down at her, "I used to get up very early because I had to prepare breakfast."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded to indicate that he heard it, and then sat up with his hands on the mattress.After doing this, she felt that the injuries from yesterday's battle were completely unaffected.This was much better than her own recovery, so she took another serious look at the things on her wrist.

"Oh...do you still want to take that with you? Take it off when it's hot." Ji Tong said casually while putting on his clothes. "After all, it's summer."

"Why?" Zhu Zhuqing asked her, raising his hand as a signal.Ji Tong stopped putting on his clothes and looked over with a strange expression. "What if you're forced to sleep in a cold room with the windows open and you're too cold to sleep?"

Well the explanation is pretty straight forward.Zhu Zhuqing was a little bit self-deprecating at last night's messy guesses, it seems that after staying in that environment for a long time, people do always look a little different.She took off the silk thread wrapped around her hands, and it took a little effort unexpectedly.

"Can you pick it off? You, can I help you?" When Ji Tong put on his clothes and went back to spread the quilt, he saw Zhu Zhuqing still fiddling with his wrist, and couldn't help but want to laugh.She made a loose button, but it's not difficult, it doesn't take so long, does it?

Zhu Zhuqing shook his head.That is to say, the left hand is not very flexible, so it took so long.She casually stuffed the string of small things into her pocket, looked back at the sky, it was still dark.

"I've practiced." Putting this sentence aside coldly, Zhu Zhuqing entered the state of cultivation before Ji Tong could reply, which made Ji Tong want to laugh.This person is very guarded, but his mind is much cleaner than those girls who come from messy places.She thought of Zhu Zhuqing's elegant style and behavior style before, which once again deepened her guess that she must be a young lady of some big family.

It would be boring to be alone, so Ji Tong was in a panic, so he found a piece of wood to practice the micro-manipulation of the wind blade.When Zao Wou-ki called people to wake up almost at dawn, Zhu Zhuqing withdrew from the cultivation state, and then felt that the whole room was full of sawdust.

Anyway, from Ji Tong's point of view, Zhu Zhuqing's expression is quite intriguing.

Slapping off the sawdust in his hands, Ji Tong stood up, crushed the little thing he didn't know how to cut into, and stood up and walked out the door. "It's time to go in today." Her tone couldn't tell whether it was anticipation or something, and there was a kind of inexplicable excitement. "I don't know what's going on inside..."

Zhu Zhuqing didn't respond, and followed her out of the bedroom.

Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong also woke up, but they obviously didn't want to get up, they were still lying on the bed.When Ji Tong passed by, the two girls were still yelling to pull them up, and finally the quarrel ended with Xiao Wu rolling off the bed.The boys were already seated at the table when they came downstairs.

Clearly, though, the boys were being violently resorted to—Oscar, still yawning and unkemptly dressed, is evidence.

The breakfast was okay, because the noisy people in the early morning couldn't lift their spirits, so the morning was very quiet, even when they were on the road, they were quite silent.After almost entering the forest, a group of people gradually became excited.

As soul masters, everyone in Shrek has a good impression of this top-ranked soul beast gathering place on the mainland, not to mention that the environment here is really quite good.The outermost trees are almost 20 meters above, not to mention the bushes and other miscellaneous plants outside that are as tall as a person.There are no so-called roads here at all, and if you really want to go, you have to pick a place to come.

The real natural atmosphere is something these children have rarely come into contact with, and they are all a little excited at this moment.The wind carried the smell of green grass and moist soil, which instantly activated the somewhat sleepy spirits of these children.However, just when they had just ignited their desire to fight and explore, Zao Wou-ki spoke up.

"All stop."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then the alertness to the danger overwhelmed the sense of novelty, and quietly waited for Zhao Wuji's instructions.Zao Wou-ki first signaled to Oscar to replenish the last supply for everyone, and then he said slowly: "You guys heard me clearly, this is not the kind of place where the state raises magical beasts. The magical beasts here are extremely dangerous. It is possible to face a thousand-year or even ten-thousand-year-level monster attack! Therefore, after entering the forest, none of you should leave my body for more than 20 meters! Ning Rongrong, Oscar, you two must follow me closely, without my order, No one is allowed to attack the soul beast easily, do you understand?"

Everyone looked solemn: "Understood!"

As the final preparations, Oscar began to distribute sausages one by one as spare supplies and detoxification.After a few days of running-in, everyone has a certain degree of acceptance of this supply method, and they all attach great importance to it.The release of high-intensity soul power made Oscar's face pale, but due to the cover of his beard, it was not very obvious from the outside.His soul skills have to be discounted for himself, so he can only play the role of a protected person in the next journey.

Seeing that everyone was getting ready, Zhao Wou-ki waved his hand and made a movement of starting.This time it was Dai Mubai and Tang San who took the lead, and Zhao Wuji personally cut off the latter one.Due to the position of the boss and the highest spirit power, the job of opening the way also fell on Dai Mubai.With the sharpness of the tiger's palm, everyone's progress was not hindered by obstacles, and they kept moving at a normal speed.

What made Zao Wou-ki feel gratified was that everyone except Xiao Wu maintained a high degree of vigilance, the only exception was a little lively.This liveliness does not affect the entire team, nor does it go out of the team range, so this flaw can be ignored.In addition, Ji Tong, who he thought might be a problem, also appeared very sophisticated.The moment she stepped into the Star Dou Great Forest, Ji Tong summoned her martial soul and showed a very vigilant look.This is very different from Xiao Wu's activity. Although they both showed no fear, Ji Tong was obviously better than Xiao Wu in terms of warning.As for the others, they all performed very well and were educated students.

As if to further judge the level of the students, they soon encountered a small group of spirit beasts.That was Tang San's first discovery, it was a common ten-year spirit beast with basically no attack power.Under Tang San's signal, the others also quickly discovered this group of harmless little things, and then waited for the leader's next instruction.

Tang San only waved his hand, and pointed to the bushes in another direction.Although Dai Mubai understood that it meant to take a detour, and did as he said, but he didn't understand why he had to make a detour.Tang San explained: "They don't pose a threat to us, why bother to kill them. If all spirit masters are like this, after many years, will there still be spirit beasts in this forest? What's more, my teacher said that in the wild spirit beast forest Among them, even if you encounter low-level spirit beasts, you can't take it lightly."

At this time, other people also began to listen attentively to his explanation, for example, Ma Hongjun and others were quite curious about the reasons for Tang San's choice.In their cognition, low-level soul beasts are killed as soon as they are killed, and it is difficult to encounter existences that need to be vigilant except for highly poisonous species.Tang San smiled slightly, and continued: "Because once we fight with them, the smell and sound of blood may attract powerful spirit beasts, we'd better be careful."

Dai Mubai suddenly realized. "Your teacher must be a very powerful elder. This is a very valuable experience."

Tang San gave a wry smile, just as he was about to say something, Ji Tong interjected. "The smell of blood will not only attract those powerful soul beasts."

Such a sentence can be regarded as pulling the attention of the whole team away from Tang San.Ji Tong raised his finger and pointed behind Tang San: "Do you recognize that one?"

Tang San turned his head to identify them carefully.This is a blood-sucking plant, he had considered this plant when he obtained the second soul ring.But for the others, Dai Mubai is alright, the remaining ones can't be separated from ordinary ivy.

"This kind of soul beast is very weak. Even if it grows to a hundred years or a thousand years, it can still be cut off by ordinary humans with a sharp weapon. But do you know, as a blood-sucking soul beast..."

She paused, her tone became a little misty, or a little scared. "It can use less than half a meter of vines to drain the blood of an adult in just tens of seconds. Tang San, how long did it take you to recognize it just now?"

Everyone in Shrek suddenly changed expression.
