The Ancient Vast Realm

Ying Wu hid among the branches of a giant tree, silently observing the bonfire in the distance.

Under the cloak with his mask off, there was an extremely ordinary face of a middle-aged man.

He viciously tore off a strip of meat from the hard meat with his teeth, chewed dryly, took a big gulp of water, and slowly exhaled.

Ying Wu looked at the hard dried meat in his hand, put it back into his arms in disgust, and no longer focused all his attention on the bonfire in the distance.

He turned over and changed his position, leaning against the big tree with his back. He subconsciously grabbed a wine bag from his waist and wanted to put it into his mouth. But at this moment, the shadowy face of Shadow Rat appeared in his mind. Shadow Five He couldn't help but shudder, and silently took back the wine bag.

He was currently on a mission. If Shadow Mouse found out that he secretly drank alcohol while on a mission, he would probably be punished again.

Thinking of Shadow Rat, Ying Wu's eyes couldn't help but become more gloomy, and a trace of gloom flashed across his face.

"Damn bastard, don't let me find a chance, otherwise..."

Ying Wu cursed and was about to vent something, but suddenly shut up and looked around vigilantly. When he didn't find anyone, he angrily withdrew his gaze, secretly laughing at himself for being too timid.

What Ying Wu didn't notice was that above him, a figure was watching him quietly for an unknown length of time.

Ying Wu turned his head and glanced at the bonfire place in the distance. After seeing the huge golden-eyed black tiger lying quietly on the spot and resting, he looked away and felt that his eyelids were getting heavier.

"Strange, why do you feel so sleepy?"

Gradually, Ying Wu unconsciously fell into a deep sleep with his back against the big tree.

...

In a dense forest, Shadow Rat was sitting cross-legged on a boulder, holding a piece of Qing Yuan Stone and practicing with his eyes closed. Behind him, Shadow Er was slowly approaching in his direction.

"How's it going?" Shadow Mouse asked without looking back.

Ying Er stopped behind him and replied respectfully: "Sir, I have received a reply from the black dragon guard beside Lord Black Dragon. Lord Black Dragon is hunting a ferocious beast. I am afraid it will take two days to arrive here. This has already happened. It’s the fastest speed, but..."

Speaking of this, Ying Er seemed to be very hesitant, not knowing whether to continue what he said next.

Shadow Rat put away the Qing Yuan Stone and turned his head, looking at him lightly.

"Tell me, does Black Dragon have anything to say to me?"

Ying Er looked at the figure of Shadow Rat sitting on the boulder, swallowed, lowered his head and whispered: "Master Black Dragon sent a message to you, saying that you can't even handle a desolate beast, and you need his own action. Come..."

Shadow Mouse showed a hint of mockery and interrupted him: "I'm afraid he's not so polite. I'm afraid he just said that I'm a waste or something."

Ying Er lowered his head and didn't dare to answer. This was a matter between two adults, and he didn't dare to say anything casually.

Shadow Mouse didn't care about Ying Er's silence. He turned around and looked at the dark sky in the distance and said: "Don't pay attention to the black dragon. I have long been used to it. Among the three of them, he has never put me or the blood snake in his eyes." However, I don’t know where Lord Xiao found such a freak, but after so many years, I can roughly guess his origin, haha.”

A trace of ridicule flashed in Shadow Mouse's eyes, and he immediately avoided the topic and asked, "How's it going? Have you found out anything about the reality of that human race?"

Ying Er secretly breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead slightly. He didn't want to hear too much about the black dragon. He knew deeply that the more he knew, the faster he would die.

"After the observation of several of us, I am afraid that this human race is not a master of the Hidden Essence Realm. He should be just a normal human race boy. But for some reason, he can get along with the golden-eyed black tiger peacefully. Judging from his behavior, it seems that he is specially taking care of Huang. Like an animal cub"

Shadow Mouse lowered his eyes and looked in the direction of the golden-eyed black tiger. He did not dare to get too close to the opponent. Although he was extremely good at hiding his body and evading magic, the golden-eyed black tiger had a pair of notoriously broken eyes. He was so delusional that he only dared to send his subordinates to monitor secretly, while he only dared to hide in this far away place and wait for news.

I believe that the Golden Eyed Xuanhu will not pay too much attention to these ants who are only in the Zang Zang realm. Besides, what if they are discovered? It is better for these subordinates to die if they die than to risk it themselves.

In this Qishan Mountain, no matter where the golden-eyed black tiger can escape, its fate has already been determined. As long as the black dragon arrives, the two of them will join hands to capture the golden-eyed black tiger.

It’s just that Shadow Mouse always felt that something was wrong. For some reason, he always felt that the appearance of this human boy was too sudden. Why would such a boy appear in this place close to the depths of Qishan Mountain? However, he was not too worried. What kind of waves can a human boy in Qishan make?

He couldn't help but recall the knife marks on the ground that he had observed before. They must not have been made by a young man, could they be his elders?

However, these are not important, as long as the goal of killing the golden-eyed black tiger and seizing its soul can be achieved in the end. As for the soul-locking plate and the soul-refining cup, there is an 80% chance that it belongs to the human boy. If not, then If it was in the hands of the human masters behind that kid, he would have to commit another murderous crime. With the black dragon around, the Shadow Rat didn't care about those human masters. Moreover, observing the previous traces, the person behind the kid could at best be killed. He's just a martial arts cultivator in the early stage of Hidden Essence Realm. If it's really troublesome, he'll have to deal with it afterwards.

"It doesn't matter. That boy is not the key. It's impossible for a master to appear in this small Qishan for no reason. You continue to keep an eye on their whereabouts and make sure to take action immediately when the black dragon arrives. Lord Wang has left us little time. Once the deadline arrives, the sky of this Canglan land will change."

At this moment, Yingshu suddenly stretched out his hand to feel the breeze blowing slowly from the woods. His brows gradually frowned, and he slowly stood up as if he had noticed something.

Ying Er looked at Yingshu's movements in confusion and asked in confusion: "Sir, what are you doing?"

"Today's wind... is not right. Did you notice anything unusual when you came?"

Yingshu took a breath of the air. Although everything seemed normal, his intuition as a warrior made him always feel that something was wrong.

"This, I haven't noticed it," Ying Er answered cautiously. He didn't know what Yingshu was asking.

After hearing Ying Er's answer, Yingshu ignored him and suddenly flew up to the air, looking at the surrounding forests with a pair of sharp eyes.

As he watched, Yingshu's pupils shrank suddenly. In his field of vision, there was no sign of trees shaking in the forests farther away. With his eyesight, he could naturally distinguish the subtle difference.

It seemed that only the forest where they existed had a breeze blowing, but this abnormal sign could already indicate that something was very wrong.

Yingshu subconsciously wanted to roar to remind Ying Er and others to be alert, but then he thought of the Golden Eyed Black Tiger not far away, and the words that were about to come out were swallowed back into his mouth. If he was not easily discovered at his current flying altitude, then this would definitely attract the other party's attention.

Yingshu didn't want to face the terrifying wild beast alone. The strength of the Golden Eyed Black Tiger was not comparable to that of a martial artist in the early stage of the Hidden Essence Realm, even if the other party had just given birth not long ago.

Shadow Mouse quickly fell back into the jungle. Just as he was about to ask Ying Er to retreat temporarily, as he felt something strange was happening here, he was shocked to find a black-haired boy with a childish face and ragged clothes holding Ying Er's throat with one hand and looking at him indifferently.
