Gu Heng and Qin Yiyao stopped beside a mountain stream.
The fishy smell from before is no longer there, which makes people feel refreshed. After all, no one likes bad smell.
Gu Heng looked at the spire of the ancient secret palace. It was very close, probably only two miles away at most.
"Well, this place is pretty close."
Gu Heng murmured.
Then he found a place to sit down.
"Girl, if you are tired, take a rest."
He looked at Qin Yiyao who was still eager to try and said.
Although Qin Yiyao said that she still had a lot of strength, Gu Heng felt that this girl sometimes just wanted to show off. Maybe she was tired a long time ago but just insisted on being tough and unwilling to admit it. Anyway, it was not the first time that Gu Heng had seen her like this.
Of course, Gu Heng still didn't want her to show off.
"Master."
"Um?"
"I'm not tired. I can walk the rest of the way by myself."
Qin Yiyao said seriously.
As they got closer and closer to the ancient secret palace, Qin Yiyao felt that it was enough for Gu Heng to send her here, and the rest of the way... she should walk by herself.
She knew that the reason why Gu Heng escorted her so far was actually because he knew that this ancient secret palace was a fairy-level secret realm, and he had to at least escort her close enough.
Qin Yiyao felt that Gu Heng would not go in.
Because he himself may have already reached the "immortal level", this secret realm that rises from the mountains was summoned by him.
This place is of no use to him.
Therefore, it was enough for Gu Heng to send her here. When he said he wanted to rest, it was impossible that he was really tired, but he was secretly telling her that his journey ended here.
After all, the disciple needs to gain experience and explore secret places, and the master has to follow him. Doesn't that seem a bit wrong?
As for the rest, it's Qin Yiyao's turn to go on her own.
"...Okay, go ahead then."
Gu Heng said this as he saw how serious and powerful she was.
Oh, the little girl dislikes him.
Gu Heng didn't actually feel tired, but he just didn't want to rush. Aren't the mountains, forests and streams around here beautiful? He couldn't ignore the scenery nearby just to see the ancient secret palace.
But Qin Yiyao obviously didn't think so.
She just wanted to go and see the ancient secret palace as soon as possible.
Gu Heng thought about it and realized that there were only less than two miles left. There probably wouldn't be any wild beasts or the like in this short distance, so the little girl could walk by herself.
Besides, she practices swordplay so much on a daily basis, it can't be all fancy stuff. And every week I make some medicinal mud for her to take a bath in to exercise her body. Even though she still looks a little delicate, she must be very strong!
Before that, she went to the "Thousand Swords Hunting Ground" to hunt.
Thinking about it now, Gu Heng felt that his original decision was correct, and it was also thanks to that Young Master Xiao Ling who was willing to let her go in hunting and see some blood.
Therefore, Qin Yiyao could just walk this short distance by herself and it would only take a few minutes.
"But remember to be safe."
He still had to give more instructions just in case.
"Okay, there will be no problem."
Qin Yiyao assured him: "Master, don't worry!"
"Okay, I believe you."Gu Heng smiled.
"Thank you, Master."
Qin Yiyao smiled, then started walking towards the ancient secret palace.
After they walked far away, she used her skills to jump around in the woods, having a great time!
Normally, when following Gu Heng, although his master was very powerful, he liked to live in seclusion in the mortal world. He especially liked to say that he was a mortal and did everything like a mortal. Therefore, Qin Yiyao understood him and never used any martial arts techniques in front of him, so as not to make him unhappy.
Now Master can't see it anymore.
Then Qin Yiyao can run and jump happily!
…
Gu Heng sat beside the mountain stream, humming a little tune.
Qin Yiyao went ahead, so he was not in a hurry to go and waited for the girl to go shopping by herself first.
After resting for about an hour, Gu Heng decided to set off. But before he had gone far, he heard a rustling sound beside him, which made Gu Heng alert.
Then suddenly a wild boar jumped out!
This wild boar is slightly larger, with shiny black fur, sharp fangs, scarlet eyes, and exudes a dangerous aura.
Gu Heng was surprised at the first sight, because it was the first time he had seen such a big wild boar since he came to this world. Several years ago, when Gu Heng went into the mountains to hunt by himself, the wild boars he encountered were not so big.
It should be said that different water and soil can also produce different animals?
While he was distracted, the ferocious wild boar pounced on him, opened its bloody mouth, revealing its sharp white fangs, as if it wanted to bite Gu Heng to death in one bite.
"Haha! I didn't expect there's a mortal with delicate skin and tender flesh here!"
The Fierce Pig Demon Spirit thought to himself.
Just now, the Stone Vein Demon King ordered to hunt down all humans in this mountain range. As one of his subordinates, the Fiery Pig Demon Spirit also acted separately. Just now, he had killed more than a dozen human monks along the way.
But no one ate it.
It is a rather picky eater and loves to eat mortals.
The quality of mortal flesh is actually far inferior to that of monks, because the flesh and blood of monks are nourished by spiritual energy and are actually more delicate.
In comparison, the flesh of mortals is less fragrant and more coarse.
But the Fierce Pig Monster is the kind of monster that doesn't like to eat fine bran.
Now that there was a mortal to eat, the fiery pig demon spirit didn't even think about it and pounced directly!
It's time to eat meat!
Then it saw the mortal in front of it slowly take out a bow and an arrow.
The Fierce Pig Demon Spirit wanted to laugh out loud.
This mortal actually wanted to resist. His courage is commendable. It's a pity that this broken bow and arrow can't even pierce his flesh. The monks who were crushed to death by his pig's trotters just now were all in the Spirit Severing Stage.
Even they can only shave themselves.
"Well, I'll let you resist for a while, and then I can taste your fear before you die!"
The fierce pig demon thought so and let out a sharp pig cry.
Then, the mortal shot the arrow, and the Fierce Pig Demon Spirit thought that the arrow would break on its tough skin, and then it was so scared that the mortal turned pale...
Until the arrow penetrated into its skull and turned its small brain into mud.
The fierce pig demon spirit was thinking of the pig rushing forward.
Shoot that ignorant mortal!
By the time he realized something was wrong, death had already devoured the pig.
