Lord of Nine Stars

A month and a half later.

There is no time in the mountains?

No, there are years, very difficult years, very dark years.

In the cave, Xia Fangran sat cross-legged in front of the bonfire, meditating quietly, enjoying the benefits that Rong Taotao's nine-petal lotus brought to him.

Sometimes, Xia Fangran no longer knows whether he is teaching students or enjoying welfare benefits.

There is no way, this student is really working too hard, and his requirements for himself are even more stringent.

Any teacher who spends enough time with Rong Taotao will seem to gradually evolve into another "Yang Chunxi".

Because it is difficult to put more demands on such students, all you can do is take care of them in daily life.

Xia Fangran, who had always maintained his own identity, finally started working as a nanny. After Gao Lingwei left, Xia Fangran, who settled in the cave, warmed Rong Taotao's meals almost every day.

"Choke" The sound of drawing and sheathing the knife was very rhythmic. While listening to the familiar sound, Xia Fangran secretly compared the speed with which Rong Taotao drew the knife.

Compared with when we first entered the snowfield, it was indeed a bit faster.

For a top warrior, on the battlefield of life and death, if your movements are just a little faster, that is the difference between life and death.

"Huh?" Xia Fangran suddenly opened his eyes and looked up at Rong Taotao hanging upside down from the ceiling of the cave.

Why is there no sound?

However, they saw Rong Taotao stepping on ice flowers with his feet, hanging upside down. The Daxia Dragon Bird in his hand was no longer put into the scabbard, but he was looking at the slender blade with a look of surprise.

Xia Fangran raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Is the Soul Technique advanced again?"

The nine-petal lotus is indeed the most precious treasure of the Snow Realm. Xia Fangran naturally thought of the Snow Realm Soul Method: Heart of Ice and Snow.

Because since Gao Lingwei left, Rong Taotao has been in a depressed state and rarely smiles.

"No, it's not soul magic, it's soul power." Rong Taotao stamped his feet, turned over and jumped down from the top of the cave.

A clear message came from the inner vision soul map: "Promotion! Soul Soldier·Peak!"

Xia Fangran grinned and said with a smile: "Haha, I thought you saw Gao Lingwei~"

Rong Taotao:? ? ?

Although Xia Fangran was teasing, he nodded secretly in his heart.

From the time he awakened in July last year to the beginning of January this year, in just half a year, he went from the early stage of soul pawn to the peak of soul pawn. His cultivation speed is not slow.

Xia Fangran hooked his hand, picked up the small pot, and poured a bowl of broth for Rong Taotao: "Okay, it's almost time to catch up with Sihua Nian."

"Well, her lotus petals do seem to be absorbed faster." Rong Taotao nodded immediately,

I don't know if each lotus petal has a different function, or if Si Huanian can fully use the lotus petals.

If we put aside the geographical factors where Rong Taotao is located at this time, the benefits Sihua Nian brings to everyone are really more than the benefits Rong Taotao brings.

"Do you miss her? Gao Lingwei." Xia Fangran chuckled, looking like he was rubbing salt into the wound.

Rong Taotao knelt down and took the hot soup bowl: "I don't want to."

"It's been the first time in more than a month that I've seen you look happy. Good guy, thank you for being my student. If it were anyone else, I would still have to look at your expression." Xia Fangran snorted coldly.

"Suck!" Rong Taotao took a shallow sip of the wolf broth, turned to look at Xia Fangran, and said sheepishly, "I really don't miss her, but I feel that I am too weak to keep up with her. And What you are talking about is of a different nature.”

"Okay, you are already good enough among your peers." Xia Fangran gave Rong Taotao a rare compliment.

Rong Taotao shrugged his shoulders and said softly: "I had the opportunity to go beyond the three walls."

Xia Fangran: "If I don't let you go, I am also responsible for your safety."

"Hoo~" Rong Taotao suddenly blew into the hot broth, and a piece of frost sprinkled down. Then, he drank up the icy broth and said, "Gulu, Gulu."

"Get some sleep. Didn't you say that you need to get enough sleep to stay healthy?" Seeing this scene, Xia Fangran already knew what Rong Taotao was going to do.

This kid wants to go out as bait again. The resources of soul beasts in the snowfield are extremely rich, especially the snowflake wolves. They are really in groups, batches. If Rong Taotao stands outside for a while and whistles for a while, there will always be The spirit beasts are coming to fight!

"Actually, you don't have to accompany me, the lotus petals are already willing to help me." Rong Taotao wiped his mouth and put the bowl on the ground.

Having said that, what Rong Taotao said is not accurate.

At this time, when he was fighting, the lotus petals would indeed come out to help him, but only occasionally. It was not something Rong Taotao could successfully summon if he wanted to.

Rong Taotao just found a secret, and used "empathy" to lure the lotus petals out to do evil.

But Sin Lotus is too willful, and the chance of coming out to "play" is not too high.

Xia Fangran's expression became serious and he said, "Sit down and let's talk seriously."

Rong Taotao was slightly surprised: "Huh?"

Xia Fangran looked directly at Rong Taotao and said, "There have been some changes in your mentality recently, have you felt it?"

Rong Taotao: "Uh"

Xia Fangran: "At first, I thought it was because your teammates left, which made you a little depressed, but then I discovered that the change in your mentality was more reflected in the battle."

Rong Taotao pursed his lips, knowing what Xia Fangran was talking about.

Xia Fangran: "You are normal in life, but in battle, you always make some unexpected moves.

Why has your style changed so much?

I've watched you change day by day with my own eyes, and I've given you some advice several times. With your level of understanding of Fangtian's painting halberd skills, you should be able to understand my dissuasion very well. "

"Hmm." Rong Taotao pondered for a moment, and finally nodded and said, "I don't know how to use Sihuanian's lotus petal, but as a soul soldier, I can let this lotus petal come out to help me occasionally. Kill the enemy

Because I conform to its attitude of ‘being a human being’, I also have to adjust my mentality before it can appear. "

Xia Fangran's heart moved and he said: "What's your mentality? Don't tell me that you are brave and fearless. Your fighting posture during this period is definitely more than fearless."

After all, it’s Teacher Songhun, and his vision is really accurate!

Confidence and arrogance are actually just a thin line, just like genius and madman.

Rong Taotao thought for a while and then said: "Arrogant."

Xia Fangran was stunned for a moment: "Arrogant?"

"Yes." Rong Taotao nodded, "Rampant, unbridled, domineering, domineering, and similar derogatory words are all acceptable."

"This" Xia Fangran is also a little confused. After all, it is a nine-petal lotus, which is the most precious treasure in the snow realm. The lowest level white lantern paper cage still needs to be careful. The nine-petal lotus has its own personality, which is natural.

But this attitude is not the attitude that an excellent soul warrior should have.

Xia Fangran pondered for a long time and then said, "Do you know how to drink poison to quench thirst?"

Rong Taotao: ""

After all, I am also a college student, okay? Well, even though I graduated from junior high school

Xia Fangran said: "Lotus petals can indeed improve your offensive ability in a short period of time, allowing you to enter a higher level of actual combat, and then polish your own martial arts.

But if it changes your mentality like this, it will have a big impact on your future. "

"It's not bad." Rong Taotao scratched his head and said, "When I just can't fight, I look at the beast on the opposite side and think to myself, 'What the hell are you doing?' If I can handle it on my own, I'll fight normally. ”

Xia Fangran: ""

Xia Fangran was shocked!

He suddenly realized that he was cursing with his mouth, but Rong Taotao was cursing in his heart?

Xia Fangran: "Will there be any psychological problems if you switch back and forth in mentality like this?"

"How can this be a change of mentality?" Rong Taotao grinned, "I just try to be as arrogant as possible when I need it, and there is a certain probability that it will come out to kill the enemy with me. I don't think it can change my heart."

Xia Fangran: "I deeply doubt this. Don't underestimate anything, especially it is a nine-petal lotus."

Rong Taotao curled his lips, you are not the host of Lotus, you know nothing! ?

for a moment,

A lotus petal suddenly appeared on Rong Taotao's chest.

Rong Taotao:? ? ?

Fortunately, Rong Taotao was not in an offensive state at this time, otherwise, Sin Lian might have gone to confront Xia Fangran.

For a moment, Xia Fangran's expression was extremely exciting. He picked up the small iron pot and knocked it directly on Rong Taotao's head: "Are you going to scold me again?"

"Hey, I was wrong, I was wrong." Rong Taotao ran away with his head in his arms, rolling and crawling out of the cave.

While running, Rong Taotao was still muttering in his mind, what's going on?

Why did Lotus Petal come out on its own for such a small complaint?

Normally, Rong Taotao must be arrogant to a certain extent, even arrogant and arrogant, before this sin lotus can resonate and appear.

It's just possible, not inevitable! But now this

Can the lotus petals understand what I mean?

Or maybe, when I was explaining to Xia Fangran just now, the lotus petals felt Rong Taotao's thoughts?

"What a damn kid!"

Protecting Rong Taotao's life is his greatest responsibility.

"Hush~" Rong Taotao put two fingers on the bottom of his tongue and whistled loudly again.

Not to mention how much his strength has improved in the past month and a half, Rong Taotao's whistle has become increasingly slippery.

Under the dark night, standing in the vast wind and snow, Rong Taotao summoned the white lantern paper cage again, absorbing the soul power while waiting for the soul beast to attack.

He was already familiar with the road. It could take as little as half a minute or as long as half an hour. As long as Rong Taotao whistled hard, there would always be spirit beasts passing by.

Rong Taotao's whistle is equivalent to the handkerchief in the hand of a brothel girl. She waves it very enchantingly, and from time to time she shouts: "Uncle (yé), come and play~"

But today, Rong Taotao, who had been whistling for 20 minutes, was waiting for a strange person.

Rong Taotao was dumbfounded immediately, and before he was dumbfounded, Xia Fangran, who could see further than him, was already dumbfounded!

"Hello?" Rong Taotao reached forward with his right hand, directing the white lantern paper cage to swing forward.

But the figure walking slowly from the wind and snow was like a soulless doll. It didn't even know how to avoid the white lantern paper cage that was coming towards it, but walked forward on its own. .

Although this man's clothes were ragged, it could be seen that he was definitely not wearing snow camouflage.

plainclothes?

Couldn't he be a poacher?

Sniff~sniff~

The strange man shrugged his nose, as if he smelled something, and walked straight towards Rong Taotao.

Rong Taotao immediately retreated, and Xia Fangran fell down directly, blocking Rong Taotao.

In front of him was a tall man with messy, curly hair and an unkempt beard. His face was covered with frost and snow, making it impossible to see his true appearance.

Rather than a poacher, he is a savage.

"Stop!" Xia Fangran shouted loudly and picked up Fang Tian's painted halberd.

But the savage, with his face covered with frost and snow, seemed to be unable to see the tip of his halberd, just walking forward without caring about his own life?

Good guy!

Xia Fangran was stunned.

Rong Taotao had been seducing the soul beast here for a full month and a half. Any soul beast might show up. Xia Fangran had long been prepared to face any creature.

But tonight, the guy attracted by the whistle was far beyond Xia Fangran's expectation.

The man walked forward minding his own business, his chest pressed against the tip of Fang Tian's painted halberd!

Of course Xia Fangran would not kill someone so easily. He raised his halberd and slapped the opponent on the chest in a tic-shaped pattern. With a strong force in his hand, he pushed the opponent away a few steps and said in a deep voice: "I Let you stop!"

Under the tremendous force, the savage "kicked, kicked, kicked" and took three steps back!

Finally, the savage who was pushed away regained focus in his empty eyes, and turned to look at Xia Fangran.

"Can you talk?" Xia Fangran frowned, holding Rong Taotao behind him with one hand, and pushed him, signaling Rong Taotao to go back to the cave first.

The savage, whose face was covered with frost and snow, and whose clothes were in rags, looked at Xia Fangran silently with his lifeless eyes open, as if he realized that he was blocking his way. The next moment, the savage clasped his hands on both sides of his body.

Two short halberds were pieced together quietly.

Xia Fangran's breathing stagnated slightly, and his eyes suddenly widened, staring closely at the structure of the two halberds.

It is also similar to the "well" shape of Fang Tian's painted halberd, but it is not a long-poled weapon, but a short-poled snow halberd!

Look at the wavy tip of the halberd, and then look at the wavy side blades on both sides of the "tic-tac-toe" shape.

Singing Halberd?

Xia Fangran shouted in surprise: "Xiao Ziru!?"

As the three words fell, the expressionless savage suddenly opened his mouth, tilted his neck left and right, and made a crisp bone sound. His eyes, which had always been empty, suddenly burst out with blazing light.

"Back off! Rong Taotao! Go back to the cave first!" Xia Fangran shouted in shock. He actually took out the cell phone in his pocket and threw it directly to Rong Taotao, "Call the Xue Ran Army! Button No. 1!"

Xia Fangran, who had always been calm, reacted so violently, which really shocked Rong Taotao! He hurriedly caught the phone and immediately retreated into the cave.

call

The next moment, the snow-covered land suddenly surged up and down like ocean waves.

Snow Realm Soul Skill: A vast ocean of snow?

This is the iconic soul skill of the advanced soul school!

"Wow~ wow~" Rong Taotao exclaimed, his figure swaying left and right in the white snow wave, and he was about to lose his balance and be submerged by the "white snow ocean"!

Stumbling, he hurriedly stretched out a hand, and a snow blast ball was blasted at his feet!

"Bang!" The snow blast ball with real ammunition and no force left behind had huge recoil, and it took Rong Taotao directly out of the "white snow ocean" and flew towards the cave.

Behind him, the sound of "ding-dong" could be heard endlessly. The double short halberds and Fang Tian's painted halberd were intertwined, playing a beautiful melody in this windy and snowy night.

Xia Fangran's angry curses also echoed through the night sky: "Xiao Ziru! Are you crazy?"
