There is a winding path two to three feet wide, which disappears and appears in the mountains and forests. Two horses are walking leisurely on the road, walking briskly and very comfortably. Sitting on the horses are two teenagers.

The young man was chatting. It was Li Qing and Wu Lou who had left Shiqiao Town. This horse was just an ordinary beast and its pace was not fast. There was no need for the two of them to rush back to the academy, so they bought it in Shiqiao Town.

The horses from the two districts slowly walked back to the college.

"Junior Brother Li, you seem to be only a mid-level mage, right?" Wu Lou was a little curious.

Li Qing, who was practicing with his eyes closed immediately, kept saying, "Yes, I am indeed in the middle stage."

Wu Lou said with envy: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, you can cast spells in the mid-term, which is equivalent to us warriors being able to cast magical powers in the mid-term. It's incredible." Wu Lou sighed.

Li Qing opened his eyes and said with a "chi": "Senior brother is about to advance to the level of a warrior. Then he will be able to practice magical powers. There is nothing to envy."

"That's different." Wu Lou shook his head and said, "If I were a soldier, I would learn magical powers and wake up with a smile even when I sleep."

Li Qing reminded Wu Lou: "Brother, I don't want others to know this secret, so please keep it secret."

Wu Lou said: "Don't worry, a big tree attracts the wind. I know this truth."

Li Qing smiled and continued to close his eyes and practice soul cultivation to enter the advanced stage, striving to break through to the later stage as soon as possible.

Seeing this scene, Wu Lou whispered to himself: "You are working so hard at such a young age and practicing all the time, how can you be as cool as me?"

However, Wu Lou can also understand that Li Qingcai still has a lot of room for improvement in the mid-term. He has reached the peak and needs more opportunities to reach the breakthrough level.

The two continued to move forward. After a while, Wu Lou said to Li Qing: "Junior brother, we have been traveling all morning. Are you hungry? Let's find a place to fill our stomachs."

Li Qing opened his eyes and looked around at the barren mountains and ridges, but there were no people there: "Okay, but it's so remote here, so let's have a picnic."

"Okay." Wu Lou looked a little excited when he heard it and said eagerly, "You're in for a treat, let me try my senior brother's craftsmanship."

The two left the road, turned into a forest, and walked about 700 to 800 meters to a small stream.

Wu Lou said: "This is it."

"Okay" Li Qing agreed.

The two dismounted and tied up their horses. Wu Lou untied his backpack, took out a ball of compressed meat, cleaned it, and lit a fire by the stream to roast it.

Wu Lou took out four or five small bottles from his backpack, sprinkled the seasonings on the meat, and said proudly: "Senior brother, don't look at me like this. I tell you that I am very particular about food. I carry seasonings with me everywhere. Why?"

You can’t lose your own belly, right?”

Li Qing felt like his mouth was watering when he smelled the fragrance wafting over him. He praised, "Senior brother, this technique is top-notch."

After a while, Wu Lou separated the pieces of roasted meat and handed them to Li Qing. He also picked a gourd from his waist, which contained fine wine, which he bought when he left Shiqiao Town.

"How wonderful life is with wine and meat," Wu Lou said with emotion. He took a sip and handed the gourd to Li Qing.

Li Qing nodded and took the gourd. He felt that this kind of life was really comfortable. He liked it very much but it was not what he wanted.

Wu Lou smiled "hehe" and said: "It would be better if there is a beautiful woman accompanying me at this time, preferably Senior Sister Yue Ling. Hehe, it would be great if she can box here while we drink and eat meat."

Li Qing looked at his pig-like behavior and couldn't help but shake his head and said: "If Senior Sister Yue Ling is here, she must be holding you to practice. You will be beaten until you cry like a ghost, and I will drink and eat meat next to you."

When Wu Lou heard this, he thought of that scene and said sarcastically: "

Let’s forget it and let’s wait until I reach the master level.”

Li Qing laughed.

The two of them ate and drank enough and lay on the grass chatting.

"Junior brother, why are you practicing?" Wu Lou suddenly asked.

Li Qing was startled, then pondered for a moment and said: "My home is too far away from here. Only when I become successful in cultivation can I be sure to return home safely." Li Qing told the truth. He hoped that one day he could be like in the novels of his previous life.

Like those protagonists who also traveled through time, they succeeded in cultivation, shattered the void, and then returned home.

"Besides, I made an agreement with an uncle before, and we can meet again when I succeed in my cultivation."

"You really have a lot to worry about," Wu Lou said with a piece of grass in his mouth, "I'm not that complicated. I was born in a small village. My parents are ordinary people. I want them to live a better life. Wait.

When I reach the highest level, I can apply to the academy for overseas assignment, and then I will go home and protect my small village."

Li Qing sighed: "It's great. I also want to go home. I don't know if my parents will still be there after I go home."

"Junior brother, you will definitely be able to go back and see your parents. You have to believe in yourself." Wu Lou sat up.

"Yes." Li Qing nodded: "Let's go, it's almost time to rest here."

The two got up and walked towards the place where the horses were tied.

"Damn it, where's the horse?" Wu Lou couldn't help shouting when he saw that his horse was gone and there was only one horse there.

The two men stepped forward and saw that the horse's reins were still tied to the tree, but they had been torn off.

The two people looked wary, and Li Qing said: "The horse can't have such strength to break the reins. It must have been done by someone else. There was no movement at all, and the horse didn't neigh. It seems that you should be careful."

Wu Lou agreed: "Yes, but I still want to see who stole my horse."

Li Qing took off his shield from his horse, held it in his hand, and hung the two daggers he bought in Shiqiao Town in front of him. Wu Lou also took out an ax he bought and held it in his hand, and the two of them walked along the path together.

Find it in the stream.

After walking a few dozen meters, the two saw a large pool of blood on the grass, where the horse's bones were lying.

Wu Lou took a look and said cautiously: "Be careful, that horse has bitten you. It's probably not a human being. There may be a strange beast here."

Li Qing nodded. He also found that there were traces of corrosion on the horse.

The two of them looked around vigilantly. Wu Lou seemed to have discovered something. He pointed at a grass and said to Li Qing: "Junior brother, use your dagger to attack there."

Li Qing nodded, mentally controlled a dagger and flew it out.

I saw the dagger making a circle around the grass, but it didn't cut it.

"Rumble" a vibration came from under my feet.

"Back off" Wu Lou shouted.

The two of them stepped back a few feet and saw the grass suddenly emerge from the ground. Not only that one, but also five grasses around it emerged from the ground.

After getting out, I saw that it was not grass at all, but more like tentacles, dozens of meters long, dancing in the air. A two-meter-high green flower emerged next to the horse's bones in the distance.

There is a one meter long mouth on the giant flower.

"Cao Sui Luo" Wu Lou was startled and reminded Li Qing: "Be careful, Cao Sui Luo, a plant beast like this, is not weak in strength and can completely compete with the weaker ones. Don't get entangled in its tentacles, otherwise it will

You put it in your mouth and you eat it."

Upon hearing this, Li Qing understood how the bite marks on the horse came from, and the corrosion marks, which should be caused by digestive juices.

"Shuhuhua" Six fist-thick tentacles immediately attacked, trying to wrap them up.

"Go" Li Qing controlled the two daggers, flying at high speed, and collided with the tentacles. Li Qing found that the tentacles were extremely tough and could not be cut by the daggers.

Wu Lou held a half-meter-long ax in both hands and struck the tentacles. When the tentacles were bent, the ax only scratched a little of the skin.

"No." Wu Lou looked a little anxious, "The ax is useless to it, the tentacles are too tough."

"Try this" Li Qing took off two almost transparent gloves from his hands and threw them to Wu Lou. They were the pair of gloves from Feng Xing'e of Liuheng Sect. Li Qing felt that the gloves of fake spiritual weapons were better than those of axes.

Planting mortal tools is useful.

Wu Lou took it and was a little surprised when he looked at the gloves on his hands: "Pseudo spiritual weapon?" He immediately put it on his hand.

"Bang", the two daggers could not resist the six tentacles after all. One of the tentacles hit Li Qing's chest and flew him out.

"Junior brother" Wu Lou shouted, but he saw Li Qing getting up from the ground and looking uninjured.

Li Qing touched his chest and lamented that the leather armor of the fake spiritual weapon had high defensive capabilities.

Wu Lou put on his gloves. He felt that the gloves fit the skin so well that it was almost imperceptible. With an incredible twist of his body, he passed between the two tentacles, grabbed one of them, and tore it apart with both hands.

The skin of the tentacles of "Stab La" was torn open, revealing the green and almost transparent muscles inside. Seeing this, Li Qing retreated again, and then retreated another two or three feet, blocking Caosuiluo's attack range, using his mental power's large range

With the advantage, control the dagger to cut towards that crack.

"Tsk" The dagger was inserted, but it got stuck inside. Wu Lou pulled it out easily and felt the tightness inside.

Li Qing shouted: "The power inside this tentacle is too great, and the dagger will get stuck when it goes in."

Caosuiluo was in pain, and the big mouth on the giant flower opened suddenly without making any sound, as if it was screaming.

"Whoosh!" Seeing that his tentacles couldn't touch Li Qing, Cao Suiluo attacked Wu Lou with all his tentacles. While he was dodging, two tentacles wrapped around his legs and hung him upside down.

, the other four tentacles were drawn towards Wu Lou.

At this critical moment, five black pillars rose from the ground, and Li Qing used Distort Space.

One of the tentacles accidentally touched the twisted space, and the tentacles and giant flowers on Caosuiluo's entire body stopped instantly.

Li Qing was delighted, these things were indeed integrated.

Then he pointed out that the dark matter descended, and the target was not the tentacles, but the giant flower.

"Boom" the top of the giant flower burst, leaving green juice. Four seconds later, the space-distorting giant flower returned to action. Perhaps because the flower was injured, the giant flower shook wildly, feeling like its body was about to be pulled out of the ground.

The tentacles loosened in pain, and Wu Lou frantically retreated to Li Qing's side.

"No, this grass is a strange plant. The flowers are not its vital point. Its vital point should be its roots." Wu Lou frowned and said.

Li Qing also knew this truth: "But its roots are underground, how can we attack its roots?"

Wu Lou lowered his head and looked at the fake spiritual weapon glove in his hand, his eyes lit up and he said: "I have a way, but it's a bit risky."

Li Qing heard this and asked: "What can we do?"

Wu Lou looked at Caosui Luo and said, "It's too late to explain. How many times can you cast that pillar spell and how long can you control it?"

Li Qing quickly replied: "It can be used twice, one time for four seconds."

Upon hearing this, Wu Lou said: "Eight seconds is enough. When I ask you to cast it later, you can cast that spell. Don't waste a moment."

Li Qing nodded and said: "Okay."
