Book 1, Volume 1, Desert Ghost Town, Chapter 16, Ancient Trees

"You're finally awake. ”

In a sore state, Qing Huan gradually regained consciousness, and Xin Yue's familiar voice came from his ears, and he tried to control his body again, only to find that he was resting in Xin Yue's arms.

"Eh, Master..."Although it feels very comfortable like this, it is still a little embarrassing for Qinghuan in general, after all, Lin Xinyue is his master, is this kind of action too intimate...

"Your bones have just been displaced and dislocated, I'll help you get it back in place, rest first, and I'll talk about other things later." Xin Yue's hands were wrapped around Qing Huan's chest, and the touch behind her made Qing Huan blush for a while, but from the feeling that Xin Yue was not injured, which also made Qing Huan feel a little relieved.

"No, we still have to determine the situation first. Forcibly suppressed the turmoil in his heart, Qinghuan secretly moved his body, there were several extraordinary pains in his waist, his left hand could not exert his strength, and his clothes seemed to be damaged in many places.

It was a miracle that Qing Huan could fall from such a high place with such a slight injury, he only remembered that he had directly grabbed Xin Yue with the Instant Thunderbolt, but what about the other people who fell at the same time?

"What happened to the others?" and if he was still injured like this, there were a few ordinary people who were not even worse.

"I don't know, the communication here has been disrupted, although we fell from the same place, but not in the same place. Xin Yue stroked Qinghuan's face, "Don't worry too much, Lin Xuan should have paid attention to them before falling." ”

"Then let's explore the environment first. Qing Huan thought about it, there seems to be nothing to do now, and it is useless to worry about it, although he is more enjoying the warm feeling in Xin Yue's arms, but now it is better to check the surrounding situation first.

"It's better not to move now. Xin Yue said with concern, after all, the process of Qinghuan standing up was still a little reluctant.

"Well, it's good that my foot didn't hurt. Qing Huan covered the joint of his left arm and smiled a little miserably, but in this kind of place, he didn't act, and Lin Xinyue, who was not suitable for fighting due to heterogeneous illness, couldn't deal with the sudden danger at all.

He escorted Xin Yue towards the place where there was a faint light in front of him, the light here was too faint for him to catch with the pupil array.

"Master, be careful. Grabbing Xin Yue's hand, Qing Huan cautiously moved forward, and gradually there were more than ordinary rock walls around, and some metal baffles began to appear that could glow even in the dark, but Qing Huan, who was very sensitive to the spectrum, could sense that the light source that attracted his attention before was still ahead, so he pulled Lin Xinyue to move on.

After they turned a few baffles made of unknown metal, the range of reddish light suddenly expanded, and Qinghuan took Xin Yue to turn the innermost baffle, although there were many strange things to feel after entering this dungeon, but the two were still surprised by the things in front of them, to be honest, such a scene was really... It's unimaginable...

The glowing red light points in the sky are like fireflies, lingering around a huge ancient tree, like a divine tree in a fairyland, dreamy, hazy, the tree looks really weird, rummaging through the memory, Qinghuan can't think of any tree with such a shape, the main trunk is divided into three, sometimes spiraling upward, sometimes sloping east and west steep, the same red branches are dense and dense, the blood-red sickle-shaped fruit with a bright light is hidden between the branches, glowing with a more bewitching red light, it looks like the shell of the peel is as crystal clear as blood water, making people feel that it will be broken at the touch of a button。

"It's... What kind of age is this?" Even though Qing Huan has been shocked many times, he still can't help but admire the magic of the ultra-ancient civilization at this moment, this kind of existence is completely beyond the existing imagination of human beings.

"I don't know about it, but it's too tall for this tree, how deep this dungeon is. Lin Xinyue leaned over and looked down, and she didn't know if it was because of the influence of the red light around the ancient tree or what, the roots of the tree kept downward, as far as the eye could see, to say the least, it was more than three hundred meters, but she still couldn't see the end.

"There's no way ahead, so let's go back. Qing Huan retracted his gaze, and he couldn't see the bottom of the tree due to the obstruction of the red light.

The position they were standing in at the moment was more like a lookout, just a piece protruding from the cliff face.

They were surrounded by cliffs, and Qinghuan looked around, and there was nothing that looked like a road except for the cliffs.

"Okay, let's go out first. Lin Xinyue glanced at the ancient tree deeply, turned around and agreed.

"Master, why are you getting more and more serious, you used to encounter this kind of thing, you couldn't wait to move back home. Qinghuan wanted to relieve the solemn atmosphere after falling and separating from the team, so he smiled.

"Oh, so many things, then you can help me move them. Xin Yue looked at Qing Huan's small body very seriously, as if to see how many things he could carry, "Look at you like this, I'll go cut a branch." ”

"No, I can't move, and there's not that much space for the bracelet. Qing Huan hurriedly admitted his mistake, such a tall tree, just going down can fall to death, let alone move out, the branches are taller than others.

However, the moment he turned his head sideways, a sudden change occurred, and Qinghuan's eyes suddenly tightened, "Master, behind you!"

"Huh?" Xin Yue, who had her back to the ancient tree, looked at Qing Huan with a puzzled face, as if wondering why he suddenly looked serious?

The tentacle-like strip wrapped around Xin Yue's hands and waist from behind in a sudden way, and with a hook, Xin Yue's entire person was swept off the cliff.

"Damn, this tree is alive!" Qing Huan stepped on the edge of the cliff, and jumped straight down towards Lin Xinyue, who was taken away by the branches, his right hand was opened, and the dark blood dragon pattern flute appeared, and Qing Huan's pupils turned suddenly.

The spirit array switches, and the shadow and thunder flash!

Stepping on the thunder on the soles of his feet, Qing Huan caught up with Lin Xinyue who was dragged down almost instantly, and the moment he passed by, he cut off the extremely resilient branch and pulled Xin Yue out of the branch.

The air flow compressed in the flute can also be used as a sharp blade!

"You... Stupid, I want to die..."

"Looks like you're clumsier than I am, Master. Qing Huan hugged Xin Yue Zhengxiang into his arms with his left hand, and waved the long flute in his right hand, constantly cutting down the branches that tried to stretch over, protecting Xin Yue in front of his chest and falling to the ground.

"Fool, you're going to die! You can still survive by leaning on the cliff wall to reduce the buffer force!" Lin Xinyue scolded anxiously.

Falling from such a high place, the force generated by that speed can definitely crush a normal person into meat sauce, even if you want to use your own body to block it, it is impossible!

"No, it won't. Gu Qinghuan's words were full of inexplicable confidence.

The process of falling lasted for three minutes, and through mental arithmetic, the ground of the towering giant tree of nearly five hundred and forty meters finally appeared in front of Xin Yue's eyes.

"Qinghuan, ground!" Although he didn't know where the confidence in Qinghuan's eyes came from, since he thought he had a way, Xin Yue tried her best to cooperate with him.

"Well, got it. Qinghuan's eyes have never been more dignified, after all, this time is about the lives of the two.

"Master, don't mind for a moment. Qinghuan gritted his teeth and smiled, before Xin Yue understood what he was going to do, he had already used the force of friction between Xin Yue's waist to twist and swing the flute.

"Blood!"

A dark red light slanted out from the flute, smashing into the ground.

"Boom!"

The ground looked hard, but it was actually surprisingly soft, which also offset a considerable part of the force for Qing Huan, although it was still splashed with flying mud, and the ground was smashed into a pit of nearly two meters.

"Ahem... Ahem... Master, you're alright. Qing Huan coughed a few times, and it took a long time to recover, and the mud raised by the impact made him look embarrassed on his body, the land in this place turned out to be similar to the smell outside, but no matter how normal the smell was, it was still a little choking after it was too strong to penetrate, and he almost collapsed at this moment when the power of the pupil array was gone.

His left hand was still tightly holding Lin Xinyue, even if it was head-on, he carried all the damage alone.

Xin Yue's body was very close to the ground, but it was maintained by Qing Huan stubbornly, his right hand was bloodied when he waved the dark blood dragon pattern flute, and he took advantage of the situation to throw out the long flute, and his left hand brought Xin Yue closer to him, and his right hand clenched his fist tightly and smashed to the ground, half an arm's distance, but he successfully allowed Xin Yue to avoid the damage of the recoil force.

"You... A sucker... Stop talking. Xin Yue, who reacted, hurriedly helped Qinghuan up and checked the injury, two ribs were broken, the right hand bone was broken, and the internal organs were broken and caused serious internal bleeding.

I don't know if the roots of the trees are far away from those branches, or if they selectively ignore them, and there are no branches that stretch down again, which also makes the seriously injured Qinghuan breathe a sigh of relief.

Xin Yue asked Qing Huan to summon the medical device she had put in the bracelet and helped him do some targeted treatment.

"Now, you can go and chop the branches. After treating the wound for nearly two hours, he finally reluctantly fixed the fractured place, and Qinghuan also joked like a joke, and provoked Xin Yue to knock him on the head.

"Be quiet, although the keel is very resilient, it is still dangerous to crack the wound before it heals. Xin Yue put down the medical equipment in her hand and rested beside Qinghuan.

"I've been injured since I came in, but he's almost as good as a few years combined, but it's strange that I'm recovering faster than I used to be. Gu Qinghuan looked up at the ancient tree that bloomed with a demonic red light in the dark environment.

The starry gold is as beautiful as fireflies under the red night sky, just like the fantasy fairyland in the fairy tale, if it weren't for the unknown dangers around and his own somewhat miserable injury, it seems to be good to enjoy this beautiful scenery with Lin Xinyue here, looking sideways at Lin Xinyue who was leaning on the edge of the cliff and looking up at the ancient trees, under the hazy dreamlike red light, there was a sense of immortal purity beyond the world.

The mirage is beautiful, the people are more beautiful, the scenery sets off the people, and the people melt the scenery, so that Qinghuan feels the true meaning of what is beautiful and delicious, no wonder the first terrifying thing circulating in the supernatural group will be Lin Xinyue's wedding, thinking that Li Tianqi and August are fighting is simply a world war.

"I say, if it weren't for all that mess, you... Would you like to live here with me?" Maybe she was sorting out her thoughts, maybe it was the relaxation of her mind after being nervous, Lin Xinyue continued to look at the ancient tree, her expression confused.

"Eh, here, everyone..."Qing Huan didn't react to the meaning of Lin Xinyue's words for a while.

"Just me and you. Xin Yue turned her head and looked at Qinghuan, under the red light, her face looked blurry and dreamy.

"Well, of course, when you're out there or something, you have to think so much about it all the time, it's really exhausting. Qinghuan smiled with relief, "Master, give me the phone." ”

"Well, what are you going to do?"

"The national inferiority of the new era, of course, is, taking pictures. The left hand, which was relatively less injured, took the mobile phone, lightly adjusted the focus, and froze the dreamy fairyland-like scenery and the fairyland elves in the mobile phone.

"Master, look, it's a good shot. ”

"What, it's so boring to take a group photo?" Lin Xinyue hooked Qinghuan with her right arm and picked up her mobile phone with her left hand, "Come on, cooperate with each other." ”

"It hurts, it hurts... Master, you've squeezed my wounds. ”

"Okay, there's no danger down there, I'll look for a way out. Xin Yue got up and smiled lightly, "We can stay here forever, but no one else can." ”

"Be careful, we don't know anything here. Due to her physical inconvenience, Qing Huan had no choice but to let Xin Yue move alone, watching her figure gradually be obscured by the huge tangled tree roots.

"Speaking of which, the recovery is too fast, it doesn't seem normal. Gu Qinghuan leaned against the cliff and looked at his left hand boredly, in the past, this kind of injury, even if there was Xiao Xuetong's dragon blood treatment, he would have to lie on the hospital bed for two weeks, but now, his right arm can already faintly feel the sensation, it's only been more than two minutes, right?!

"It's strange why the previous photo is missing. Gu Qinghuan, who was habitually too lazy to continue to think, boredly flipped through Xin Yue's mobile phone album, which only contained the two photos they had just taken.

Lin Xinyue, this guy, can't it be obsessive-compulsive disorder and trouble to delete it, right?

"Eh, that's it?" Qing Huan zoomed in on the focal length of the mobile phone camera, and the metallic luster flashed on the trunk of one of the ancient trees, "I can't see clearly... Zoom in a little more... No way... Could it be..."

Gu Qinghuan struggled to get up and walked into the root of the ancient tree, his pupils were moving, raising his eyesight to the extreme, and his face was sluggish for a while.

Alien Law! Abnormal Movement! How could Lin Xinyue's chopping knife be here!

It can't be wrong, he is very familiar with this knife, when he first started to embark on the path of the underworld killer, the first knife he held was this law of abnormal movement!

He also accidentally injured Lin Xinyue on the side during practice, and he will never admit this knife!

Wait, before coming in again... Master, isn't... Didn't bring a sword box ...

At that time, he was too worried about Xin Yue's safety, and he was so excited to see her come back that he forgot this detail, because it was about Lin Xinyue, Qing Huan, who was determined to figure it out, carefully paid attention to the injuries on his body, and slowly approached the ancient tree to carefully investigate what was going on.

But when he turned into the intertwined base roots of the ancient tree, he was completely shocked, Lin Xinyue, at this moment, was half-kneeling and half-lying leaning against the roots of the tree, and the thorn-like plants growing from the roots of the tree were like shackles around her body, tightly piercing into her flesh and skin, as if they were sucking her flesh! What are you kidding! What's going on!

Qing Huan forcibly operated the pupil array, shattered those thorns, helped Lin Xinyue up, and said softly: "I'm sorry." ”

He took off Xin Yue's coat slightly, yes, there was indeed a slight wound on his left shoulder, the wound caused by his accidental injury back then, the scar was very inconspicuous, and only he and Xin Yue knew about this matter, and even Sister Lin Xuan didn't tell it, that... Is this true?What the hell was with him just now?What the hell is going on?Xin Yue is here, and who is the one who entered the dungeon with him!?

Gu Qinghuan recalled every detail from the time he came in to the present over and over again, but found that he couldn't sort out his thoughts at all, he carried the unconscious Lin Xinyue on his back, no matter what, those vigorous thorns surrounded him again, it was better to leave here first.

"Master, what the hell are you... What's going on?" Leaning Lin Xinyue against the rock wall, Qinghuan looked at her bloodstained face, which seemed to form a strong contrast with just now.

"Hey, this stupid fox is missing here, really. Suddenly, there was an extremely "familiar" voice behind him.

"Who are you?" Qing Huan turned around and walked towards him, it was Lin Xinyue who had just left, with two blood-red fruits in her hands, could it be that she picked them from the ancient tree? If so, then from the perspective of strength alone, this "she" is no longer in line with Lin Xinyue, who is not in line with Qing Huan's understanding.

"Of course, I've always taught you swordsmanship and accompanied your master. Lin Xinyue suddenly smiled playfully, and that familiar feeling made Qing Huan really find the feeling that she would only have when she was with Lin Xinyue.

"What about her?"

"She, of course, is your Lin Xinyue. Lin Xinyue smiled indifferently, "It seems that our plan is not very successful, and it was discovered by you so quickly." ”

"Plan?" Qing Huan's mind is very confused now, and she doesn't know what to believe, according to her, could it be that Lin Xinyue herself also knows about this situation?

"You're one of them, by the way, aren't you curious about why you're recovering so quickly, can't you really feel it? I've been with you for so long. Lin Xinyue's gaze turned to the side of the rock wall, the other her who was unconscious and had a similar face to her.

"So... You killed that she-snake too." Qing Huan looked directly at her in front of her, "I know my strength, I just wanted to repel it at that time." ”

"Count it half right, by the way, you say, for the loser, do you want to deal with it?" Lin Xinyue's expression in front of him suddenly changed, and he smiled fiercely, "You should also wake up, little fox." ”

Behind Gu Qinghuan, the seriously injured Lin Xinyue had already half-opened her eyes, and she could only barely maintain her consciousness due to excessive blood loss, and the corners of her mouth that were still bloodstained moved slightly, "I said, I don't care what you do, only him, absolutely not." ”

"I'm here, don't think about it!" Qing Huan summoned the Dark Blood Dragon Pattern Flute again, pointing directly at Lin Xinyue in front of him, but because his injuries were already too serious, he regained some basic mobility, and this time he used his strength, and the wound cracked again, and blood began to drip to the ground along his clothes.

"Really, it's very similar to you back then. Lin Xinyue actually looked at Gu Qinghuan thoughtfully, her expression seemed to be recalling a good memory.

Damn, I can't fight, how can I save her in this state now?!" Although she is very tough on the surface, she knows that she knows that if she really wants to make a move, she will definitely not be her opponent.

"Oh, really, it's miserable without me. The familiar voice, the familiar words, and the familiar phantom in front of him made Qing Huan feel shocked, "Xue Tong, you finally woke up." ”

The girl in front of her, who was as illusory as smoke and dust, was looking at him with a distressed face.

"This guy, what's wrong?" and "Lin Xinyue", who was standing in front, looked at Qing Huan suspiciously, why did she smile inexplicably? In her sight, there was no "Xiao Xue Tong", so it looked like Qing Huan was talking to herself.

"I'll come, you go and rest. The phantomized "Xiao Xuetong" slowly approached Qinghuan.

"Don't kill her. Qing Huan, who had already reached the limit of his body, muttered the last sentence, his eyes closed, and his consciousness finally couldn't support him and fell asleep.

"I was thinking about it, but I didn't expect you to have already chosen a good person, hey. The illusory figure and Qinghuan overlapped, "This body is really exhausted." ”

"Qing Huan"'s eyes suddenly condensed, although his body was still in a state of serious injury, but his expression did not look like a person who was seriously injured and was in a state of death, but more like a monster that was slightly injured and was stimulated to be ferocious.

"Do we know each other?" "Qing Huan" held the flute back, his face showed a hint of doubt, he looked at "Lin Xinyue", and the other party actually looked at him in the same shock.

"I thought it was just the sequelae of her use of ability, but I didn't expect that you are really good enough to always surprise me. Lin Xinyue smiled meaningfully, "You've really been guarding him!

"Lin Xinyue"'s gaze was like a sharp blade, as if she wanted to disassemble Gu Qinghuan in front of her into basic particles to take a closer look, her gaze changed from surprise to hesitation, then to contemplation, and finally to disdain, "I see, it's really my lonely monster, has it been crazy like this?"

"Although you have a familiar feeling, but I am the only one who can hurt him, if the others do this, trouble, go to hell!" After a short period of staggered eyes, "Qinghuan" gaze condensed, and the blue pupil of his left eye flashed suddenly, and an invisible force seemed to condense the air of the entire space, which could make people breathless and depressed, but it was only a flash, because all the power had been condensed in one place, attacking the opposite "Lin Xinyue".

"I have to say, it's a lot like, but... Forget it, we got to know each other quickly anyway, and besides, the next meeting will not be in this false form. "Lin Xinyue" still had the weird smile she had before, and with a wave of her hand, she blocked this unbelievable attack, "These two are good for healing the body, if you want to get out alive, eat it." The fruit in his hand was placed on the ground.

"Also, tell Qinghuan that I am not the only one who can imitate others, and she is more deadly than me, if he doesn't go out quickly, there may be fewer people in the scarlet night. As he spoke, Lin Xinyue's body began to illusory along with the red-glowing Blood Amber Tree, and disappeared out of thin air, "If you can't keep this Blood Amber Tree for the time being, I'll take it away first." ”

The Law of Movement lost its attachment and fell straight down, plunging into the ground.

Gu Qinghuan, no, the current consciousness is that "Xiao Xuetong" did not chase after her, since the other party can disappear out of thin air with such a huge ancient tree so indifferently, thinking that even if she relies on her current body, she will not be an opponent, she turned around, picked up the two blood amber tree fruits left by the other party, took a deep breath, as if she was restraining her emotions, and after a while, she turned around and walked to the side of the seriously injured Lin Xinyue.

"Sister Yue, will you promise me something?" Xiao Xuetong said with a smile as she handed over the Blood Amber Tree Fruit.

"You don't really be... Okay, what's the matter?" Lin Xinyue had lost so much blood that her will could be dissipated at any moment, she took the tree fruit and responded with some difficulty.

"There seems to be something wrong with my current condition, then, when I can't accompany him, this idiot is always easy to get hurt, trouble Sister Xinyue, take care of him instead of me, is it okay?"

"But...," Xin Yue hesitated.

"Sister, I like him too. Xiao Xuetong's words made Xin Yue's face blush, but it was difficult to hide it because she was seriously injured, and all of this was reflected in Xue Tong's eyes without concealment, "I know, please." ”

"But it seems like you'll have to climb up here with him on your back first. Xiao Xuetong looked at the rock cliffs around her, and the only place she could get out was where they fell.
