In the forest, a colorful bird landed on a big tree. It tilted its head and stared at the man and woman in front of it. After confirming its target, it started chirping loudly.

When Xia Xiran heard the sound, he saw that the other party was Tie Hu, the killer of Yanyu Tower. He took a step back with a pale face and said in a slightly desperate voice: "I didn't expect that Yanyu Tower would send you here in order to kill me. It's really true.

It’s unexpected.”

Tiehu turned his two swords in his hands and threatened with a smile: "Hand over the treasure map, and I will keep your body intact. Otherwise, I will make your life worse than death."

In the world of killers, who doesn't know the reputation of Yanyu Lou Tiehu? No matter how strong the opponent's will is, his methods can completely destroy the opponent's will in less than half a day.

This is why Xia Xiran felt a sense of powerlessness in her heart when she saw Tie Hu.

If it falls into his hands, life will really be worse than death.

Fang Xiu looked at the big man in front of him, came to Xia Xiran and said seriously: "Let's go."

After a brief inspection, Fang Xiu knew that the killer in front of him would definitely be difficult to deal with, so he had no choice but to run away.

"Escape? I'll see where you are running, chase me!" Tiehu felt excited in his heart, and threw the rapidly rotating knife in his right hand towards Fang Xiu's back.

The rotating knife seemed to be endowed with mysterious power, and it quickly slashed towards Fang Xiu's back like a broken bamboo.

Before the knife arrived, Fang Xiu felt an inexplicable chill coming from his back. He turned around and picked up the dagger to block.

"Bang!"

After the rotating knife hit the dagger, countless sparks were thrown around. The strong thrust forced Fang Xiu to take a few steps back before he could stabilize his body. Not only that, just as the rotating knife was blocked, another rotating knife struck again.

Come.

As if facing a formidable enemy, Fang Xiu jumped up on the spot and did a backflip to widen the distance. Without any time to explain, he skillfully picked up Xia Xiran and ran towards the group of monsters.

Tiehu picked up the two swords that were buried three feet into the ground and said with excitement: "That's right. The more you resist, the more I have the urge to skin you alive. Chase me! I'm going to skin that kid alive."

"

The remaining five masked men looked at each other and showed no interest in Tie Hu's evil intentions, and hurriedly rushed into the group of monsters.

Fang Xiu accelerated towards the center of the magical beasts. Perhaps most of the intermediate magical beasts were restrained by other spiritual practitioners, resulting in many fewer intermediate and high-level magical beasts here.

"How did you get into such big trouble as Yanyulou?" Fang Xiu said with a frown.

The killer who wielded the two swords just now must have entered the middle stage of the Xiantian realm. Otherwise, with his strength, he would not be unable to catch the spinning sword.

It seems that this trip to the back mountain has caused a lot of trouble for myself.

"It's a long story..." Xia Xiran recalled the past, suddenly her eyes were blank, and she said in a sad tone, "This starts with my talent. Have you ever heard of special spiritual roots?"

Special spiritual roots? Fang Xiu was obviously stunned, and then recalled the records in ancient books. Spiritual roots determine whether a spiritual practitioner can practice and control spiritual energy. The five elements spiritual roots are the foundation, and then there are special spiritual roots and pseudo-spiritual roots. As for special

There is no record of spiritual roots in ancient books.

"It seems that your reaction is that you know about the special spiritual root." Xia Xiran sighed and said, "I have awakened the 'short blade' special spiritual root since I was a child. The dagger in your hand is derived from

It was conceived by my spiritual roots and then nourished with my essence and blood every month. As I become stronger, the grade of this dagger is also improving."

Xia Xiran looked at Fang Xiu, who looked confused, and continued to explain: "There are many spiritual practitioners like me who have special spiritual roots, but their identities have not been revealed. Because in the world of immortal cultivation that is already lacking in resources, who can

If you can get a spiritual weapon that can be upgraded, you can almost become invincible at the same level."

"I'm afraid this matter is not as simple as you said. Aren't they after the treasure map in your hand? What does this have to do with your special spiritual root?" Fang Xiu stared at Xia Xiran in confusion. His intuition told him that Xia Xiran

Deceiving yourself.

"Uh." Xia Xiran held her forehead and sighed, glared at Fang Xiu and said, "You are such a pig-headed person, the treasure map is just a cover!"

"Oh, I believe you are a ghost."

Fang Xiu was too lazy to continue talking nonsense to Xia Xiran. Her words were full of loopholes. As she said, wouldn't she be afraid of snatching the dagger away? To put it another way, she would easily tell a stranger such a secret thing.

?Obviously, she was just changing the subject. As for the special spiritual root she mentioned, it was probably a lie.

Xia Xiran looked at Fang Xiu's serious face and smiled without saying a word.

Fang Xiu was running towards the center of the group of monsters. He encountered more and more monsters, and was gradually targeted by a demon bear. While running, the demon bear suddenly rushed out and blocked Fang Xiu's path.

"It's just an intermediate level monster, get out of here!"

There were corpses of monsters everywhere. A monster bear rushed out from the corpse, which surprised Fang Xiu. However, after realizing that its grade was only intermediate, he swung his dagger and killed it.

The demon bear had rough skin and thick flesh, but when it touched the dagger in Fang Xiu's hand, it was directly cut open.

It has to be said that Fang Xiu sighed that this dagger was really easy to use. A handy weapon can greatly improve strength and combat efficiency. Fang Xiu took advantage of the moment when the demon bear was wailing and directly inserted the dagger into the demon bear's neck.

.

Just when Fang Xiu thought it was about to end, he realized that the demon bear in front of him was not dead. Instead, blood was spurting from his neck, and he slapped Fang Xiu on the head with his bear paw.

"Be careful!" Xia Xiran exclaimed.

"Damn, I'm so careless!"

Fang Xiu originally thought that if he pierced a hole in the monster's neck, the monster would lose too much blood and suffocate to death. But the monster bear in front of him unexpectedly fought back, and slapped Fang Xiu's arm directly with its thick bear paw.

superior.

"hiss!"

Fang Xiu took in a breath of pain. Fortunately, becoming a spiritual cultivator not only improved his strength, but also made his bones extremely hard under the tempering of spiritual energy.

The demon bear's blow did not cause actual damage to Fang Xiu, but the pain was still there.

"It's dead."

"This should be a reflection of the past."

Fang Xiu looked at the demon bear lying in a pool of blood, and his eyes were attracted by what was in its mouth. There were three red, blue, and yellow gemstones that reflected dazzling light under the sunlight.

Xia Xiran also noticed the three gems in the demon bear's mouth, and said in a somewhat surprised tone: "These are three beast elixirs. Only high-level demon beasts can produce beast elixirs. It seems that the demon bear has found the corpses of three high-level demon beasts."

"What's the use of this beast elixir?"

There is no record about beast elixirs in the ancient books. Recently, the information recorded in the ancient books has become less and less. The further back you go, the more mental energy you consume. In addition, the troubles you encountered recently in the back mountain will make Fang

Xio has been strictly controlling the consumption of mental energy.

"Beast elixirs are similar to spiritual fruits. They both contain rich spiritual energy. They can be taken and refined into spiritual energy, or they can be embedded in spiritual weapons to increase the grade of the spiritual weapon and increase the power of the spiritual weapon." After Xia Xiran explained, he found that Fang Xiu

With a look of disbelief, he pinched his waist and said angrily, "What I said is true. The biggest function of the beast elixir is to inlay the spiritual weapon and improve the quality of the spiritual weapon."

"Then you said you could take it." Fang Xiu retorted.

"You can really take it. If you don't believe me, I'll show it to you."

Xia Xiran reached out to take it angrily, wanting to prove that she had not deceived him, but Fang Xiu put it into his pocket. The speed at which he put it in his pocket made Xia Xiran want to laugh.

"If you want to eat it, go find it yourself. Don't steal my trophy." Fang Xiu put away the beast pill and looked at Xia Xiran who looked angry and explained, "You have said that only high-level monsters can give birth to beast pills. You are a martial artist.

The ultimate warrior, if he rashly eats the beast elixir, his life may be in danger. I am doing this for your own good, so you don’t need to be grateful to me."

Fang Xiu believed Xia Xiran's words. Holding the beast pill in his hand, he could fully feel the spiritual energy contained in it, but he couldn't accept the act of taking the beast pill.

This is a stone. Is it really good to eat it in your stomach?

"Fang Xiu!"

"Don't shout, they are going to catch up, let's leave quickly!"
