Chapter 22: Ten Thousand Demon Forest

Han Yu turned over and sat behind her.

"This spider centipede is less than a hundred years old. Such a demon beast dare not attack people in the Ten Thousand Demon Forest easily."

His voice was calm, but it made her feel safe when she heard it.

People are always instinctively afraid that their backs would get attacked. After he sat behind her, she relaxed a lot.

When she saw a hedgehog the size of a wild boar and a toad the size of a wild dog, she was not as scared, but she also poked her head out and looked at them quite seriously.

Her adaptability was faster than Han Yu expected, "Xianjun, is that rabbit fifty years old? It's such a big one."

"It's strange, with you behind me. Why am I not scared at all?"

Her smile was clear and bright, which made people feel comfortable.

When he promised to send her home, although it was not a whim, he couldn't say that he was happy. After all, he was used to being alone and liked to be clean.

But now, he felt that this part of the journey did not make him uncomfortable.

At this time, the bitter and sweet tea fragrance on her body drifted towards him with the wind.

In addition to spiritual practice, one of his hobbies was drinking tea.

It could even be said that he was addicted to tea. The smell on her body makes his mouth dry and his heart itchy.

His hand used some force to hold the rein, and blue veins bulged on the back of his cold white hand.

A faint smell of blood floated in the air. His five senses were sensitive, so he saw some fragmented corpses and bloodstains from a distance that had soaked into the soil and turned it crimson.

Thinking of her vomiting, when she saw the black panther biting the eunuch's head, he covered her eyes.

Her face felt cold, and her vision turned pitch black.

"Xianjun?"

She seemed a little surprised, but she cooperated quietly, letting his cold hands cover her face.

Very well-behaved.

Han Yu found out that her face was really small. He could cover her forehead and nose almost completely by covering her face like this.

So he moved his hand up to avoid blocking her breath.

She seemed to smell blood too. Her long and weak eyelashes were constantly trembling, scratching his palms until it felt itchy.

Looking at the corpses on the ground being eaten by the beast, he did not need to guess that those were the cultivators who came in to catch some spirit beast.

Such a thing was not surprising.

However, the road he walked was a straight line connected to the entrance of Dongling City and the entrance of Jiulian City. Cultivators frequently appeared here, and demons over a hundred years old were rare.

After approaching, he found more than one wreck. Demons and beasts scrambled four or five of them, and two of them were in the core formation stage before death.

Such a group of cultivators should not be killed by demons less than a hundred years old.

He didn't release the hand covering her eyes until he passed the wreckage and then took the rein.

"Sit down."

He didn't want to entangle with the demons too much in the Ten Thousand Demon Forest. After he took the rein again, he made the white horse galloped faster on the forest road.

Lin Xiaocha saw the surrounding giant trees retreating quickly in her field of vision.

The horse was fast, and their bodies shook together. Her back rubbed against his chest, and his breath evenly blew through her auricle, making her ears numb.

"Xianjun, it's too fast. Slow down, okay?" She said nervously. Her little hands took the opportunity to grasp his firm arm tightly.

Suddenly the horse neighed for a while, and its front feet were off the ground when it stood up.

This sudden change caused Lin Xiaocha to fall into Han Yu's arms.

He was afraid that she might fall down with inertia, so he took her waist with one hand and buckled her in front of him.

Lin Xiaocha leaned on his solid chest, blushing a little, but did not struggle. She let him held her in his arms quietly.

He didn't immediately let go of the horse until the horse stood firmly.

Han Yu looked at the almost transparent demon-binding net on the ground.

After this horse entered the Ten Thousand Demon Forest, he poured spiritual sense into it. The horse sensed the trap and suddenly stopped.

When he looked around, there were no less than a hundred second-rank demon-binding nets wherever he could see. These were the top-ranking artifacts and could catch demon beasts under five hundred years old.

Each one was worth a lot of money, and these hundreds of pieces, apart from the royal family, probably only those two second-generation little ancestors from the Jin family.

If there were only these many traps on this road, it would only make people felt they were stupid and too rich. But when he remembered the pile of wreckage just now, Han Yu faintly felt something was strange.

At this time, a young man covered in blood came staggeringly from the forest with his sword.

The boy was wearing a ponytail, and the golden color of his clothes could be seen where it was not stained with blood.

"Jin Zhifeng?" Lin Xiaocha recognized him.

Jin Zhifeng clutched his wound and raised his head. He didn't look like when he was in the inn and said weakly, "It's you?"

"What's wrong with you? Where is Xuan'er?" Lin Xiaocha asked anxiously.

Jin Zhifeng avoided this topic. He panted weakly, and after a while, he said, "Go back, don't go to your death."

These two second-generation little ancestors did not know the heights of the world and were in the rebellious stage. People told them that the Ten Thousand Demon Forest was dangerous. But the more they were not allowed to get close, the more they wanted to give it a try.

Relying on their magical weapon from their family, they sneaked out. Preparing to catch a century-old demon, and went back to prove themselves.

Before they came, they thought they had made adequate preparations. They knew that there would be no monsters with a high cultivation base on this path. But they did not expect that the Ten Thousand Demon Forest had changed rapidly and unpredictably.

He swayed to the depths of the dense forest to continue looking for Jin Xuan'er.

His whole body did not look like when he was in the inn. His aura was bleak and desperate.

Lin Xiaocha saw Jin Zhifeng covered in blood and guessed that Jin Xuan'er was killed.

And Han Yu's expression was extremely plain, and he didn't even have the intention to help.

The system jumped out: [Let me remind you, if Jin Zhifeng died in the Ten Thousand Demon Forest, the 2 million mission would fail. ]

Lin Xiaocha became excited.

This would not work!

She brewed her emotions and asked in a trembling voice, "Xianjun, was Xuan'er eaten by a demon?"

In fact, she guessed that Jin Xuan'er was not dead at this time. Otherwise, Jin Zhifeng would not be seriously injured and would run away. He must still want to save his sister.

But if this continues, the brother and sister of the Jin family would die here.

Han Yu didn't speak. This demon's cultivation base was extremely high, and Jin Xuan'er would die sooner or later.

So his silence was a default.

Lin Xiaocha's tears fell on Han Yu's hand, holding the reins.

It made Han Yu thought of her various things in Dongling City.

He knew that her sympathy is flooding again.

He said indifferently, "Cultivators are different from the outsiders. Cultivators entered the Ten Thousand Demon Forest almost always to catch demons. Even if they die, they should bear the consequences."

It was the price that people should pay for their greed for power.

So in the Ten Thousand Demon Forest, he would not save people.

She seemed to have two or three drops of tears.

"Xianjun, you understand me. I am not as transparent and compliant with rules as Xianjun. I saw Xuan'er alive, so I can't bear to see her death. Thinking about her being eaten by demons, I just..."

"Besides, she kindly reminded me at the inn. Telling me not to come to Ten Thousand Demon Forest..."

Han Yu thought of what she said just now. Seeing her alive, can't bear to see her death?

Han Yu looked down at her petite back and thin shoulders.

She could be pinched to death easily in this world.

But she still wanted to save others.

Forget it. Today let's make an exception.

He stopped the horse, stretched out his fingers, and drew an oval light symbol in the air.

The light symbol grew bigger and bigger, becoming the size of a door.

Then they saw Jin Zhifeng walked out of the light gate.

When Jin Zhifeng saw that he returned to the original place, he thought he was dazzled. He shook his head, turned around, and saw the light talisman behind him.

Then he saw the man who looked like a god riding on the white horse.

Teleportation array?

And it was a powerful spell that required its caster to have a cultivation base strong enough to distort and fold the space.

He suddenly realized one thing. He couldn't see Han Yu's spiritual power before because his cultivation was much higher than himself.

And he actually underestimated him just because he was riding a horse, thinking that he had low spiritual power.

Jin Zhifeng knew that one life and death depended on their own destiny when one enters the Ten Thousand Demon Forest.

But she is his sister of the same father and mother. Although the two were usually fighting, they still have a deep relationship.

He put down his pride as the young city lord of Jinjue City. He propped his sword on the ground, knelt down on one knee, and bowed down to Han Yu.

"I beg Xianjun to save my sister's life."

He called the Xianjun very sincerely this time, without the irony and frivolousness like last time.

"What demon?" Han Yu asked lightly.

"Snake demon."
