to blame

After Qingqiu went out, Ming Xia got up and took care of herself.After lying down for a few days, his muscles and bones were all weak, but the good news is that all the injuries on his body were healed.

Ming Xia dug out his sketchbook from his backpack, and drew the appearance of the black beast: the appearance of squatting there with the face of a fox, and the appearance of attacking him with the head of a tiger.Then he began to record the conversation between him and the beast one by one.He has a not so obvious feeling that there are some important clues in the pile of nonsense of the beast.

There was a sound of footsteps, Ming Xia raised his head, and saw a familiar figure rushing in like a whirlwind, pulling him into his arms.

Ming Xia's nose bumped into his chest, it hurt so badly, tears flowed out immediately, but he couldn't help but want to laugh.

A few days later, Nanjiang still felt palpitations every time he thought about the situation that day.Although everyone knew the danger of this job, he always thought that they would face it together, instead of letting Ming Xia face the danger of life alone when he didn't know it.

Ming Xia pushed him, "Someone is here."

Nan Jiang kissed his hair, let him go, and sat cross-legged beside him.He really wanted to tell Ming Xia to follow him all the time in the future, but he knew clearly in his heart that the monsters had all kinds of unpredictable methods to make a person break away from the large group and face all kinds of dangers alone.

What happened to Ming Xia was not the first time, and it will definitely not be the last time.

If Ming Xia is still willing to work in this industry, then he must be prepared for more rigorous training.Only when he becomes stronger will he have more chances to survive when encountering danger.

Ming Xia didn't know that Nan Jiang was thinking about doing homework for him when he got back. Looking out from the open door, Mr. Bi and Liu Enzheng were also walking towards him.Qingqiu probably thought that the space in the room was limited, so he simply turned into a little fox and sprinted in three times and took the lead, nestling into Ming Xia's arms in a grand manner.

Nanjiang, "..."

Nan Jiang stared at that triumphant hairy face, wondering how this little monster could be so thick-skinned.In full view, she brazenly flaunted her cuteness.

"Mingxia," Qingqiu's big tail curled up and wrapped around Mingxia's wrist, sticky and obedient to him, "Nanjiang people made you nutrition powder, which is what they usually eat for demon hunters. He also said you just woke up, don't eat hard things."

Ming Xia stretched out his hand and snorted on Qing Qiu, then turned his head and smiled at Nan Jiang.

Nan Jiang's anger caused by the vixen dissipated again, "Bi Lao said that your body needs to replenish energy."

Mr. Bi heard this sentence as soon as he entered the door, and nodded quickly, "Do you feel weak? The main reason is that the energy consumption is excessive, just like a battery that has just been fully charged. It needs to be replenished."

Liu Enzheng also hurriedly said: "Your situation is rare, you need to rest well."

Under normal circumstances, demon hunters start their energy awakening at the age of sixteen or seventeen, and only after that will they join the sixth group and start formal training.Perhaps it was because Ming Xia was plotted against by Jiu Xiao, so the time of awakening was much later than that of ordinary people.Especially waking up in such a dangerous situation, it really makes people sweat just thinking about it.

Li Youran brought over the prepared nutrition powder.

Ming Xia thanked, stretched out his hand to take Xiaoxiao and took a sip, with a comfortable expression on his face.No wonder they say that this is something to replenish energy. After drinking it, not only the stomach is warmed, but the whole body is warmed up and becomes energetic-it really feels like being recharged.

He spread out his sketchbook on the sleeping bag, and began to tell everyone about the appearance of the black beast.

"This is every word it said, basically nothing was missed." Ming Xia took a sip of his nutrition powder, and pointed out the places he highlighted, "I threatened him with dragon tongue arrows, let him It took me to find Mr. Hu. At that time, I didn't know where Mr. Hu and the others might be. But A Dan immediately turned around and started flying back."

"Although the false beast is cunning, it is very good at judging the situation, and it is not very courageous. I think it is a subconscious reaction to turn around and go back... I have reason to believe that the key clue to find Mr. Hu and the others is still here in the ancient city. "

Following Ming Xia's narration, Bi Lao and the others also began to analyze the authenticity of the beast's words.

"This sentence, it said that it wants to get something from you." Bi Lao showed a thoughtful expression, "I think this sentence is also true. Although it is talking nonsense and a lot of nonsense, you should pay attention to its behavior. When you first come into contact with Ming Xia, it has a very strong purpose, whether it's cheating or threatening, it just wants to take Ming Xia away."

Several people nodded together.

Ming Xia also talked about the dream he had when he was in a coma, the huge map, and the ancient temple and the big monsters in the hall that A Dan saw.

Ming Xia tried to draw the parts he still remembered, the locations of the two ancient cities, and the approximate orientation of the ancient temples based on these coordinates.

Old Bi asked him, "The beast said his boss is Ao Yin, could it be the one who put away his soul orb last?"

Ming Xia hesitated, "I've seen Bai Zhen in Jiu Xiao's dream before. I think the person who took away the beast... seems to be Bai Zhen."

Elder Bi was also stunned, "You read that right?"

Ming Xia thought for a while, "If the person I saw in the dream before was indeed Bai Hao, then it would be correct. He looks older, his facial features have not changed, but his eyes are different."

Bi Lao suddenly felt troubled.He had never seen Bai Zhen before. When Bai Zhen ruled the demon world, he hadn't transformed yet.

"I was thinking just now." When Ming Xia was thinking about something, he unconsciously smoothed Qingqiu's hair with his hands, "I still remember the route roughly, why don't Qingqiu and I follow the map to have a look? ?”

"No!" Several people objected in unison.

Nan Jiang hurriedly said, "Your injury is still not healed."

"It's just the two of you," Liu Enzheng also expressed disapproval, "There's really no one to respond to something."

Elder Bi also shook his head, "You didn't go there when they lied to you at first, so why don't you take the initiative to deliver the goods to your door now?"

Originally, Qingqiu didn't care about following Mingxia to perform any tasks, but when he heard this, his ears perked up, "That's right, that fake is here to catch you!"

Ming Xia rubbed his pointed ears, and felt that her thoughts were too hasty, "Okay."

"At present, the focus of our search is still these two ancient cities," Nanjiang comforted him, "Take advantage of this time to rest well and try to recover as soon as possible."

Ming Xia and the little fox nodded together.

Nan Jiang glared at Qingqiu angrily, and went out with Mr. Hu and Liu Enzheng.After getting out of the tent, he turned back and asked Ming Xia quietly, "Did you see anyone else in that ancient temple besides Yiya, Zhu Huai and Li Qingyun?"

After the chaos in the North and South Peaks, these big monsters all ran away at the same time, which is really unusual.

Ming Xia shook his head, "I followed A Dan straight into the main hall, and didn't go to other places at all. Looking at the scale of the ancient temple, it may not be smaller than our branch compound. If you only live in four or five people, it's impossible to think about it. .”

Ming Xia paused for a moment, and asked Nan Jiang worriedly, "Could the things I saw be hallucinations?"

Nan Jiang smiled, "You awakened at that special time. Although your body was injured, your consciousness was at its strongest. It is normal for your consciousness to catch up to the beast's soul orb if it wants to escape back to its lair."

Ming Xia breathed a sigh of relief.It’s fine if it’s not a hallucination. If you mislead everyone because you think too much, it’s not good.

"Believe in yourself." Nanjiang couldn't help but raised his hand to touch his cheek, "Your growth rate impresses all of us."

Ming Xia coughed twice, glanced at him uncomfortably, "Really?"

Nan Jiang didn't laugh at him, but nodded solemnly, "It's true. You are now a very powerful demon hunter."

Ming Xia's eyes were shining brightly, obviously such a compliment made him very happy.

Nan Jiang was amused by his expression.He glanced outside the door, and quickly leaned over to kiss Ming Xia's lips, "Take care of your body, don't make me worry anymore."

Ming Xia's heart softened instantly.He stretched out his arms to hug Nanjiang, and said softly, "It won't happen in the future."

Qingqiu was suddenly squeezed between the two, and let out a chirp.

The two hurriedly separated, Ming Xia pinched Qingqiu's scratching little paw quickly, and said to Nanjiang dumbfoundingly: "Go ahead, Qingqiu will sleep with me for a while."

Nanjiang couldn't do anything about this little vixen, so he ordered him a few words and hurried out.

Ming Xia lay down and patted the little fox in his arms, "Don't be angry."

Qingqiu curled up in his arms angrily.

The high-energy nutritional powder specially prepared by the team doctor for the special situation of the demon hunter is still very effective for Ming Xia.He felt warm in his stomach, and soon felt drowsy—he was recovering from a serious injury and needed more sleep to repair his damaged body.If it was replaced by a demon hunter under normal circumstances, such drowsiness symptoms would not appear.

Qingqiu is also clear about this.These days he was worried about Ming Xia, and he didn't sleep well.Being held in Ming Xia's arms at this moment, she unconsciously felt sleepy.

One person and one fox slept until dark, and continued to fall asleep after eating something.When I woke up the next morning, I realized that the team investigating the two ancient cities had made new discoveries.

If there are any similarities between the two ancient cities across the river, everyone can tell a lot.Such as urban layout, housing structure, composition of building materials...etc.

If there are any differences, the most obvious ones are temples.

Both temples were built next to the water intake room.Perhaps in ancient times, the control of water sources was a great right.However, the area of ​​the temple in the ancient city of Liangtai is very small, not to mention the murals on the walls have fallen off, and most of the pagoda on the top floor has also collapsed.If it weren't for the temples in the ancient mirrored city for comparison, they wouldn't be sure that this place was originally a temple.

On the other hand, although the temples in the ancient city of Mirror Mirror were also built next to the water intake room, they are far incomparable to the temples in the ancient city of Liangtai in terms of size and luxury of decoration.The temple murals in Mirror City still have traces of gold leaf. One can imagine how magnificent the temple was when it was built.

The front hall of the temple is also empty, but the area of ​​the backyard is several times larger than the temples in the ancient city of Liangtai.

Because of this obvious difference, both sides searched the temple very seriously.

It was in the backyard of the temple in the city of mirrors that they discovered something was wrong.
