The tent was pitch black and almost nowhere to be seen.

If Xu Ran had not had the current strength, he would not have seen Zhang Yuner sitting cross-legged there.

The tent made of thick cowhide formed a pyramid-shaped space very narrow. Two people sat face to face, and their knees had already pressed against each other's knees.

Xu Ran found that Zhang Yuner's eyes were bright and she seemed to have not fallen asleep. She whispered: "Can't you fall asleep?"

"I want to discuss something with you," Zhang Yuner nodded, "I originally resisted going to the Sword Sect to practice, but when I fought with the Bear Demon just now, I realized that I was too weak.

This time we have killed the bear demon. If we can steal my brother's bones, he will be revenge. I will put aside my worries. After that, I plan to ask you to send me and my mother to the Sword Sect to find the master."

The two of them actually thought of going together, and Xu Ran smiled and said, "Of course it's okay. If you practice with peace of mind in the Sword Sect, I will visit you often."

Xu Ran wanted to join the Sword Sect without saying anything. Zhang Yuner was a little disappointed. She said, "I'm satisfied if you can see it often. I can see that you are no longer the brother Ranran. I don't know what happened in the past few days. Your strength actually seems to be not weaker than your senior brother. I just thought, if you were so powerful, my brother wouldn't..."

"I……"

Xu Ran opened his mouth but said nothing. He could not tell anyone about his system, and he was even more unwilling to deceive Zhang Yuner.

Zhang Yuner smiled and showed her neat white teeth, "I think it was you, Master Wang and Sister Qingqing who practiced, who had the strength they are today, so I also want to practice. I want to enter the Sword Sect and use the sword to the Tianya like a senior brother in the future.

Whenever you go, I can go wherever you go, becoming your helper, not a burden..."

Xu Ran felt warm in his heart. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Zhang Yuner. She said timidly: "Brother Ranran, maybe it won't take three to five days to go to the Sword Sect. I finally have the courage to ask you now. I'm afraid that I won't dare to ask you as soon as the sky is dawn.

What do you think of me in your heart? You know I don’t want to be your sister... But I am too fat and strong, not as gentle and charming as a little girl..."

...

Deep in the Bear King Valley.

Under the reflection of dozens of lights, the cliffs at the bottom of the valley are as bright as day.

Four men in brocade clothes, the king knelt in front of the cliff, muttered and chanted obscure mantras while bowing.

The statue looks like a human bear head more than meter tall, wearing black gold armor and a soap robe. It is majestic and lifelike. It is reflected by the shaking flames, and the huge black bear's face looks majestic and weird.

In front of the statue, a huge rock suddenly appeared on the ground, blocking the statue's small body and forming a huge naturally formed altar.

In addition to the newly slaughtered bison heads and boar heads and other offerings on the altar, the most conspicuous one is a spear with half broken across the side of the statue.

The whole body is as gray-brown as rocks, with only a cluster of black tassels between the spear head and the rod, which means it is a spear, not a rock carving.

The four men in brocade clothes had finished singing and stood up together, each with a burly figure, big and round waist.

One of the men waved behind him, and immediately two bear monsters walked up respectfully, untied the storage bag around their waists, and fell between the cliff and the stone table.

The skulls of various animals are poured out like dumplings.

It turned out that there was a gap between the cliff wall and the stone table, about tens of feet deep, and there were already mountains of skulls, including humans, but not many.

When the two bear monsters retreated, the man in brocade said to the three people around him: "Three brothers, the day of sacrifice once every three hundred years is getting closer, but the skulls here are mostly birds and beasts, and there are few monks or monsters above the second level, and even less than one percent of the mortals. The mountain god is stubborn and does not allow us to go down the mountain to rob. If the Black Wind God blames him and refuses to give us good fortune, what should we do?"

The man in Jinyi, led the man in Jinyi stroked the black beard under his jaw, his eyes rolled, and suddenly he sneered.

Another man in brocade clothes said, "Brother, can you already have a good plan?"

The black beard man nodded and whispered: "It is rumored that the day when the tree spirit fruits in the depths of Taohua Ridge is coming soon. I believe that countless human monks and demon masters will come to Taohua Ridge and ask the young men to release the wind, saying that the Altar of the Bear King Valley may be a mysterious passage to find the place where the spirit fruits are located."

"this……"

The man in Jinyi who just asked the question asked was puzzled: "Can they believe it? And if they attract all these strong people, I am afraid that my Hei clan will be destroyed, right?"

The other two also looked at the elder brother together and waited for his explanation. The boss could not have proposed this idea of ​​causing trouble.

The black-bearded man narrowed his eyes and smiled and said, "We have been on Taohualing for more than two hundred years. We have never heard of the legend of spiritual fruits, but have we found any trace?

We can't find it, either of them can't find it, so if someone releases the wind, they will definitely believe it. Once everyone comes here, it will inevitably cause a fight, and we can reap the benefits of the fisherman!

As for the Hei clan, we can create illusions and lead the fire to the first wave of people who came here..."

The man around him was moved and said happily: "Brother means, let's exit the Bear King Valley and leave this place for them as bait?"

"Yes," the black beard man sneered: "Tonight we will activate the Black Wind God Altar. When they come here, they will inevitably see that there is something strange about the altar, and then..."

He made a gesture of cutting his neck with a knife, and the four of them burst into laughter.

...

It was dawning, and the sun shone a touch of gold on Taohua Ridge.

Xu Ran walked out of the tent, stretched, walked to the bonfire that was about to be extinguished, used branches to burn embers, and added some new firewood to make the fire burn.

Lao Wang and Yan Chixia went out of the tent one after another, greeted Xu Ran, roasted hot food on the fire, and chatted while eating.

Yan Chixia was thinking about what happened yesterday and asked, "Brother Xu, when I killed the bear demon yesterday, why could you use the sword-control technique of the Sword Immortal lineage?"

That is the core disciple of the Immortal Sword lineage who can practice sword moves. Xu Ran had known that he would have this question and answered the question irrelevantly: "It's not just the sword-controlling technique of the Sword Immortal lineage. The technique I used to heal Brother Yan also originated from Buddhism. What I learned is quite messy."

Lao Wang beside him chewed the chicken leg and nodded vaguely.

Seeing that Yan Chixia was still a little puzzled, Xu Ran asked: "Does your sect have explicit regulations that you are not allowed to spread the skills outside the sect or that you cannot accept disciples outside the sect?"

"That's not," Yan Chixia was afraid of Xu Ran's misunderstanding, so she quickly explained, "Brother Xu, don't misunderstand. I just saw that Brother Xu's sword control skills were superb and proficient. It must have been guided by a famous teacher. Maybe some elder went out to travel to see Brother Xu's talent..."

Xu Ran had to smile and shook his head. Yan Chixia said knowingly: "Yes, this kind of thing is usually told to be unspeakable. Don't worry, because of my junior sister, I have already regarded Brother Xu as half of my classmates."

Suddenly remembering something, Yan Chixia said, "Where is Junior Sister Yun'er?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yuner left the tent and sat shyly beside Xu Ran.
