Chapter 16: Ancient Wasteland

Shen Die generously accepted the dagger given by Zuo Feng, which made Zuo Feng, a grown man, a little embarrassed.

Zuo Feng thought she would refuse after hearing it, so he could return the pendant to her. But now he had no choice but to put the pendant in his arms. When the pendant with Shen Die's body temperature was in his arms, Zuo Feng actually felt a throbbing in his heart for the first time.

"Since you accepted it, I will tell you everything about this pendant."

Hearing Shen Die speak, Zuo Feng immediately recovered from the somewhat warm feeling and looked at Shen Die in surprise.

"About this pendant? Isn't it given to you by the leader of your hunting group?"

Nodding slightly, Shen Die's eyes became a little deep, as if the whole person was immersed in memories. Zuo Feng tilted his head to look, and couldn't help but be a little absent-minded. The moonlight poured on her flawless white face, and the delicate silhouette looked very moving from the side.

Shen Die seemed to have sorted out her thoughts, and then she spoke slowly, her voice as empty and elegant as the sound of a flute in a deep valley.

"When our young leader was young, he was also very talented. Like many young people with dreams, he walked out of this dense jungle and even the Ye Lin Empire and went to the most mysterious Ancient Wilderness Empire on the continent, also known as the Ancient Wilderness Land."

"The Ancient Wilderness Empire is actually not an empire at all, so people call it the Ancient Wilderness Land. It is the only place on the continent that does not exclude people from other empires, and it is also a mysterious place that other empires dare not provoke."

Hearing this, Zuo Feng was obviously interested. He had studied the art of making medicine before, so he had some knowledge of the Xuanwu Empire, which was famous for its medicine, but he had no knowledge of other places on the continent.

"There are many sects of different sizes in the Ancient Wasteland Empire, which are divided into four levels according to their size and strength, namely, sect, pavilion, sect, and gate. Our leader originally joined the Black Cloud Sect, which is considered to be the third-tier pampered one in the Ancient Wasteland."

Although Zuo Feng still had a limited understanding, he had a general understanding of this "Ancient Wasteland". At the same time, he also vaguely guessed that the pendant given to him by Shen Die should have some connection with the Black Cloud Sect.

"The leader was originally trained by the sect and made great contributions to the sect, but in the end, he inevitably left some irreversible hidden dangers. When he left the Black Cloud Sect and was about to return to his hometown, he was given this pendant by the sect master at that time. With this pendant, the Black Cloud Sect would accept him as an entry disciple."

After saying so much, Shen Die finally got to the key point. Although Zuo Feng was a little reluctant, he still resolutely took out the pendant. He was not coveting the candidate for the entry disciple of the Black Cloud Sect, but he attached great importance to the friendship contained in the pendant.

Zuo Feng finally handed over the pendant resolutely and said solemnly.

"Girl, you have a deep blood feud. This pendant is too important to you. I really dare not accept it."

When Shen Die saw Zuo Feng's appearance, she was not angry. Instead, she looked at the thin boy in front of her carefully. When she saw that Zuo Feng was not making false excuses, she smiled approvingly and said.

"Zuo Feng, no wonder you have such a cultivation. With your rock-like character, you will surely become a powerful person in the future. Facing such an opportunity, you are not tempted and are not disturbed by external things. I am afraid that only people like you can break through the final stage of Qi Refining."

Hearing these words, Zuo Feng scratched his head in confusion and muttered to himself.

'How can my character be as rock-like? How can I become a powerful person? What's the connection? The Black Cloud Sect should be a force ranked at the third level in the Ancient Wilderness Empire. There is no need to persevere in pursuing the qualification of an entry disciple. ’

Zuo Feng’s idea was only in his mind. He grew up in this mountain village and didn’t know why only the Ancient Wasteland was so detached from the world. Even a fourth-rate “sect” in the Ancient Wasteland Empire would probably be stronger than any other border city in the empire.

“Of course, the revenge for the extermination of the clan must be avenged, but even if I go to the Black Cloud Sect and cultivate my skills, I can’t fight against the entire Jinyan Mountain. Compared with hatred, I care more about your kindness in saving me. Besides, your talent is much better than mine. I think this pendant will be more suitable for you.”

Zuo Feng had no interest in the Black Cloud Sect, but he couldn’t refuse this kindness. After hesitating for a long time, he finally took the pendant into his arms again.

Suddenly, Zuo Feng’s arms moved slightly, and a small beast with a small head and big ears came out. The little beast’s eyes were slightly tired, and it glared at Zuo Feng with some dissatisfaction, and then looked at the woman in white in front of him intentionally or unintentionally.

"Oh, what a cute little animal. I've never seen such a cute little animal. Its big ears are so pretty."

When Shen Die saw the little animal, her serious expression instantly changed to that of a little girl. Zuo Feng smiled slightly and pulled the little animal out of his arms. It glared at Zuo Feng with an extremely dissatisfied expression and was sent to Shen Die's hands.

"What a cute little animal. What's its name?"

Shen Die held it carefully in her palm, as if her maternal love was overflowing, and said to herself.

"What's its name?"

After hearing this question, Zuo Feng repeated it in a low voice. His original intention of catching the little beast was for his sister, but now the little beast was too important to him and he could only keep it by his side temporarily. He had never thought about the name of this little beast. When Chen Die asked about it, he was stunned for a moment before shouting out two words.

"against the wind"

"Nifeng, why do you have such a weird name? You call me Zuo Feng and he calls me Niifeng. It sounds like some kind of senior brother."

After hearing Chen Die's half-joking words, a few black lines appeared slightly on Zuo Feng's forehead. On the other hand, the little beast screamed "Zhi Zhi" twice in excitement as if he liked the name.

Zuo Feng was about to speak, but suddenly paused slightly, then a smile appeared on his face, and he glanced at the big tree outside the courtyard with the corner of his eye. Just now some small sounds entered his ears, and he had already judged from it that the two sneaky "rats" had quietly left.

Zuo Feng secretly smiled in his heart. He took Shen Die to the bench in the yard to chat, just so that the two guys could only see but not hear.

"The two of them have left."

Chen Die's words were very abrupt. At this moment, Zuo Feng's expression was extremely wonderful. The smile was still on his face but seemed to have frozen.

"you you……"

"What are you, you are just two rats monitoring you. When you came back, I found these two guys. One of them seems to be the sick guy who gave you trouble today."

Knowing that the sick man she was talking about was Zuo Cheng, the shock in her heart was completely written on her face, and she looked at the girl in front of her with a smile in disbelief. You must know that he only perceived two people, and the identity of the other party was mainly based on speculation.

"Don't look at me like that, okay. I've told you before that my physique is very special. My senses and perception are even stronger than those of ordinary warriors. Those two guys have such poor cultivation, so naturally they can't escape my perception. ”

Chen Die's expression was like that of a little girl at this time, and she winked slightly mischievously as she spoke. After Zuo Feng was stunned for a moment, she remembered that she had said the reason why she could take on Fujikata's "Tiger Running Fist" during the day. He once expressed that he understood his mysterious feeling.

Now that I think about it, even if someone had said that there was such a method, if I hadn't had personal experience, I would probably have been as dubious as Zuo Feng. Thinking of this, Zuo Feng couldn't help but have a deeper judgment about the woman in front of him.

'Compared to her, I am still not mature enough. It seems that I still need to hone my character more. ’

Zuo Feng thought unconsciously in his heart. This was also an important reason why his cultivation level could surpass that of all his peers. As long as he found his own shortcomings, he would work hard to make up for it.

Gently placing the little beast back in Zuo Feng's hand, Chen Die showed a gentle smile, which blew through Zuo Feng's heart like a warm spring breeze. Yingchun confided: "Zuo Feng. Haven't you noticed that you will be very tired living like this?"

Zuo Feng's expression froze slightly, and he was speechless, not knowing how to continue. Then he saw Chen Die slowly getting up, looking at Zuo Feng deeply for a moment with his autumn eyes, and said.

"You always think about others, when will you think about yourself."

Chen Die bowed slightly and bowed, then turned and left, leaving behind a confused Zuo Feng. Regarding Chen Die's last words, Zuo Feng had no idea what they meant and couldn't help lowering his head in confusion.

"Do you understand the meaning of what she just said?"

The little beast in the palm stared blankly at Zuo Feng with its big silver-gray eyes, then tilted its head with a thoughtful expression.

"Sometimes, I really feel that you can understand what I am saying. I just don't know if you like the name 'Naifeng'."

Regarding Zuo Feng's previous words, Xiaoshou still looked puzzled. When he heard the mention of naming it 'Nifeng' later, he suddenly let out two excited "Zhizhi" sounds.

Zuo Feng just responded with a helpless smile. As for the little beast picked up from the top of the magical Dongshan Canyon, even if some people say it can fly into the sky and escape from the earth, Zuo Feng will think it is possible, not to mention tonight. I just discovered another superpower of this little beast.

He raised his right hand and gently squeezed the pendant in his arms, and a vague feeling of warmth hit his heart.

"Ancient wasteland" Zuo Feng said to himself, and then smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly. There are still many secrets in his body that have not been solved, so why worry about the third-rate forces of the ancient empire. After that year of waste, Zuo Feng made him even more convinced that his own strength was everything.
