Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 281 The Purpose of Entering Tianshan

After a while, the group went deep into the woods and disappeared.

Si He did not look away this time, but kept listening attentively to the movements in the depths of the forest, and so did Liu Mao.

Only Ning Ji withdrew his gaze. At this time, the meat was almost roasted, so he cut a piece of roasted meat with a dagger and placed it on a large leaf beside to dissipate the heat.

At this time, screams were heard again from the depths of the forest!

Si He and Liu Mao opened their eyes wide and pricked up their ears to listen, but unfortunately the distance was too far and the noise they heard was very small. They could only vaguely hear shouting, sounds of killing and the sound of weapons clashing.

Huh? The sound of weapons clashing?

This movement is not right!

"Husband, do you think there was a fight between the two groups? The previous group survived!"

Ning Ji glanced into the depths of the forest, the corners of his lips raised slightly, and he said, "Maybe."

After hearing this, Si He became even more curious. Thinking back to the sounds she had heard before, she couldn't help but guess that the previous group of people encountered danger and survived by chance, and the group behind them took advantage of the situation and robbed them?

or……

Si He's eyes darkened, and she guessed the worst. Perhaps the group of people before had deliberately set a trap to lure people in. Perhaps those people had already known that there were people following them with ulterior motives, so they took action in advance.

If this is true, these two groups of people are not simple.

The sound of fighting in the deep forest lasted for a long time. After about a quarter of an hour, the sound stopped, and no one knew what the outcome was.

Si He ate barbecue while paying attention to the movements deep in the forest.

The same was true for Liu Mao. He kept glancing towards the forest. Even the delicious barbecue could not distract him. His whole body was tense, as he was afraid that those people would come and kill him, although the probability of this happening was relatively low.

Time passed, and after they had eaten their fill, they rested for another half an hour. During this time, there was no movement except for the occasional cry of wild beasts.

The three of them then packed up their things and set off again. Liu Mao went ahead to investigate the situation first.

Ning Ji and Si He followed from a distance, and soon they arrived at the place where those people were fighting.

On either side of the forest, two groups of people were resting and tending to their injuries. The previous fight had left both groups severely weakened, especially the group that had been following them. Several of them had died, and several were seriously injured, largely due to falling into a trap set by the enemy.

The group of people who set the trap also suffered some injuries, and then they were attacked by wild beasts. Their situation was not very good either. They could only temporarily treat their wounds here before leaving.

Now both sides have become mortal enemies, but for various considerations, they have tacitly agreed to stop fighting temporarily.

Just as they were about to leave, Liu Mao came over.

Seeing Liu Mao's appearance, both sides cautiously raised their swords and glared at him with cold eyes. The reason they stopped fighting before was because they were afraid of being too brutal and letting the other party take advantage of them.

Liu Mao looked at the situation of both sides from a distance and did not approach rashly. After a while, he quickly retreated and reported the situation to Ning Ji and others.

After hearing this, Ning Ji and Si He did not continue to move forward, but turned their horses around and headed towards the nearby forest, not wanting to get involved in the dispute between these people.

The main reason for coming to Tianshan this time was to find the whereabouts of the Dragon Spirit Flower. Ning Ji and Si He did not want to cause any trouble unless it was necessary.

In the afternoon, after changing direction, Ning Ji followed the map marking the tomb. Judging from the location where Si He had found the Dragon Spirit Flower, there might be a probability that the Dragon Spirit Flower would be near the tomb.

Even so, it would be very difficult to find it because the forest is so huge.

And there may not be any Dragon Spirit Flowers. After all, the growing conditions are too harsh. Even if there are any, there will probably be ferocious beasts like the giant snake guarding them, which is very dangerous.

But no matter what, we have to look for it.

I rode for the whole afternoon and occasionally encountered some wild animals on the road, but there was no danger for the time being.

In the evening, they finally arrived at the nearest tomb.

This is a very good place to nourish your essence, a naturally formed place of extreme yin.

The nearby mountains are high and the forests are dense, so there is no sunlight. Even before nightfall, it is already dark here and the light is very poor.

The grass was covered in dead branches and leaves. Every step the horse took rang with the sound of decay and cracking, followed by the emergence of numerous insects. When the wind blew through the treetops, it made a whining sound, as if wronged spirits were wandering in the forest. It was eerie.

When he arrived at this place, Liu Mao was on edge, holding the big knife tightly in his hand to prevent something from suddenly jumping out and hurting anyone.

This time, Ning Ji was riding in front, walking along the forest for a while at a slow pace.

Si He had already taken off her veil and was looking around the forest. Ning Ji had not gone too close to the deep valley, but she had vaguely sensed the evil aura here, which was very faint. If an ordinary person came here, they might just feel that it was a little cool.

After walking around for a while, Ning Ji finally found a spacious and dry cave in the valley next to him to rest.

You can see the sky a little from here, so it's not completely dark.

After getting off the horse, Liu Mao took the initiative to pick up dead branches nearby to make a fire.

Ning Ji cleaned the cave, Si He helped to lay out the blanket for rest and brought in the things on the horse's back.

By the time we had packed up the cave, it had become completely dark, and the cries of wild animals in the forest gradually became louder.

The fire lit up, illuminating the cave and dispelling some of the cold and gloomy air.

In the light of the fire, Si He's face looked slightly pale. Ning Ji frowned slightly when he saw this. He felt her pulse and asked in a low voice, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Si He said, "Not bad."

She didn't feel any discomfort, just a slight fatigue, perhaps from a long day of riding. After all, she had taken the condensed spirit essence a few days ago, so the effect of that spirit essence shouldn't be any worse than the previous pills.

Ning Ji didn't say anything else, just quietly took her pulse.

Liu Mao, who was not far away, was quite curious when he saw this, but he didn't dare to look at it for too long, and only took a sneak peek occasionally.

After a while, Ning Ji withdrew his hand, thought for a while, and finally did not give her any more spiritual essence. He decided to wait and see the situation tomorrow.

It was a calm night. Although there were some wild beasts roaring in the deep woods, no beasts attacked and no one came near, so I had a good night's sleep.

The next day, Si He woke up unexpectedly late. Ning Ji saw that she was sleeping soundly, so he didn't call her. When she woke up, it was almost noon.

When we walked out of the cave, the sun was shining brightly, but it was shady here and there were dense trees blocking the view, so only a small amount of sunlight could penetrate. As long as we walked in the shade, there was no need to wear a tent.

However, her complexion was paler now than last night.

Ning Ji frowned again upon seeing this, but still accompanied her to the nearby stream to wash up, and then took the spiritual essence after coming back.
