Chapter 126 Meeting an old friend by chance
Time flies by.
After nearly one and a half months of hard work, Cai Ji finally created the foggy forest.
In addition to killing countless low-level monsters, he also killed several low- and mid-level monster kings.
For the first time, the spiritual energy in his body's meridians broke free from the misty state and gathered into a trickle.
Of course, trickle is relative.
Cai Ji's ability to contain spiritual power is the same as that of the ancient demon emperor.
It cannot be said to be unparalleled in the world.
All I can say is that no one can defeat him.
A trickle is also extremely scary.
"Oh my god, it finally came out."
Walking out of the foggy forest, Cai Ji looked at the blue sky and white clouds and felt very happy.
After staying in the dimly lit forest for a long time and interacting with all kinds of disgusting monsters every day, he felt like he was going crazy.
But in order to save the human race, this sacrifice is worth it.
"Go home!"
Cai Ji took off his armor, used the compass box to determine the direction, and started running towards the northeast.
As long as we cross a few hundred miles of mountainous and forested areas, we will reach the border of Zhongzhou.
Unexpectedly, halfway through the run, I met an old acquaintance.
Sixth Senior Sister Zhen Yourong!
As soon as Cai Ji climbed over a hill, he ran into the enemy.
He was shocked to see Zhen Yourong and a beautiful young woman squatting together in the woods below, doing something furtive.
The reason why Sixth Senior Sister could be recognized at a glance was mainly because she was not wearing armor and her figure was very recognizable.
Just the back view is unforgettable.
"What a fate! I can actually meet an old friend in the wilderness!" Cai Ji muttered to himself as he quietly moved behind Zhen Yourong and asked, "Sixth Senior Sister, what are you doing?"
Swish!
Zhen Yourong and the other man were so frightened that they immediately jumped up and drew their swords to attack.
"Hey, hey, hey, we're one family!" Cai Ji took a step back and reminded with a smile.
"Who are you?" The young woman pointed a knife at Cai Ji and asked nervously.
"Shopkeeper Cai?" Zhen Yourong spoke up.
"It's me, it's me! Long time no see, what are you doing squatting here?" Cai Ji replied with a smile.
"What are you doing in the demon tribe's territory?" Zhen Yourong asked.
"I went into the mountains to collect herbs and got lost." Cai Ji lied.
Zhen Yourong obviously wouldn't believe his answer.
She frowned and looked Cai Ji up and down, questioning him directly: "This place is a thousand miles away from Qinghe City, and there are monsters everywhere along the way. How did you survive?"
"Hey... good luck!" Cai Ji chuckled and changed the subject: "Who is this?"
"This is my eighth apprentice sister Jiang Li, but you should call her Eighth Apprentice Sister." Zhen Yourong replied, then turned to look at the young woman and said, "Ah Li, this is my apprentice sister's lover, Shopkeeper Cai Ji."
"Xiaoyi's lover?" Jiang Li put away the demon-slaying knife and asked with a puzzled look: "Why have I never heard her mention him?"
"Of course I'm afraid of being robbed!" Zhen Yourong smiled and said with a hidden meaning: "This Shopkeeper Cai is not an ordinary person, he is very capable!"
"What are your abilities?" Jiang Li looked at Cai Ji and asked directly.
"I'm a braggart!" Cai Ji joked and changed the subject again: "Don't just talk about me, what are you doing in this desolate mountain?"
"Investigating the movements of monsters." Zhen Yourong stopped smiling and said seriously, "In recent months, the behavior of monsters has become increasingly abnormal. In order to understand their movements in advance, the Monster Suppression Department sent us to the monster territory to conduct investigations so that we can take precautions in advance."
"So that's how it is! What did you find?" Cai Ji asked.
Upon hearing this, Zhen Yourong and Jiang Li looked at each other with strange expressions.
"We found that there are very few monsters from the border to here." Zhen Yourong narrowed his eyes and answered, and asked unexpectedly: "Did you do it?"
"Definitely not!" Cai Ji denied decisively, shaking his head and said, "I'm just an ordinary person, how could I possibly kill so many monsters?"
"It seems impossible for an ordinary person to go hundreds of miles deep into the demon clan's territory and still be alive and well?" Zhen Yourong teased without thinking.
"Hehe!" Cai Ji knew that the more he explained, the easier it would be to reveal the truth, so he simply asked, "I need to hurry home, what are your plans?"
"We're going back too! We've been out for so many days, it's time to go back and report..." Zhen Yourong said.
But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a howl.
"Roar!!"
A roar suddenly sounded from the opposite hill.
Zhen Yourong and Jiang Li looked up and their faces suddenly changed.
I saw a giant bear, two meters long, roaring towards this side.
"Demon King!"
"Run!"
The two men saw the giant bear's strength at a glance and turned and ran without thinking.
Cai Ji subconsciously ran with them, but after running a few steps, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
Demon King or something!
Isn't that his favorite prey?
Why run?
Also, that bear on the opposite hill looked somewhat familiar.
"Could it be the superior demon king we met last time?" Cai Ji remembered the last time he was pinned to the ground by a bear, and decisively took out the ancient longbow.
The demon kings that we had killed in the foggy forest before were all low- and medium-level ones.
Now that he has encountered a superior demon king, he decides to show off his strength in front of Zhen Yourong and the others.
That's right!
Just showing off!
However, the purpose is not to attract the attention of beautiful women, but to pave the way for the subsequent national strengthening plan.
At the same time, Zhen Yourong ran for a distance and suddenly found that Cai Ji did not catch up. He turned around and saw that he was drawing his bow and arrow and aiming at the bear demon king on the opposite mountain. He was almost angry to death on the spot.
Because although the demon king roared, he had no intention of chasing after them.
But Cai Ji was not in a hurry to escape, but instead provoked the other party?
Who gave him the courage!
"Cai Ji! Are you crazy?" Sixth Senior Sister screamed angrily.
Jiang Li on the side was also confused.
However, her approach is more direct.
She immediately stopped and picked up a stone from the ground, intending to smash the boy to death before Cai Ji shot the arrow.
Unfortunately, it's too late!
"This arrow hits the demon king's forehead!" After Cai Ji finished reciting the holy words, the cold iron arrow in his hand shot out with huge spiritual power, shooting towards the opposite mountain top like a white rainbow piercing the sun.
He did not say the holy words like "shoot the demon king's eyes" because he found that such holy words with "mandatory targets" consumed a huge amount of spiritual energy.
Moreover, once encountering enemy resistance, it will cause continuous consumption of spiritual energy.
For example, the last time the monkey demon king grabbed the dagger that was stabbing in front of him, he almost drained Cai Ji's spiritual power.
Therefore, it is more economical to use a fuzzy strategy.
"Roar!"
The bear demon king on the opposite side discovered that he was attacked and responded immediately.
It opened its mouth wide and roared towards us.
A sonic bullet visible to the naked eye flew out of its mouth, heading towards the oncoming arrow!
Rumble!
Two powerful spiritual powers collided above the valley, making a deafening noise.
Wow!
The exploding spiritual power formed a circle of shock waves, instantly blowing down a large number of trees in the valley.
However, this confrontation did not end in a draw.
Whoosh!
The cold iron arrow that carried its mission was not blown away.
It penetrated directly through the explosion site and hit the bear demon king's forehead steadily.
Bang!
The remaining spiritual power exploded on the demon king's head, blowing off a large piece of bear hair on the spot.
It's not very harmful, but it's extremely insulting.
