Chapter 1213: Shell
The death qi in the forest was extremely terrifying, even with the protection of the insect shell and the protection of Gu Yuan Dan, Hao Youxiao still felt the slightest chill spread over her body, and continued to drill deep along her pores and veins.
Not only that, but the dress on her body gradually lost its luster, if it weren't for the carefully refined talisman robe, the ordinary clothes would have withered to the ground long ago.
In contrast, the state of the green girl is much better, and she looks like a person who has nothing to do with it. Only by staring closely will you find that from time to time her body will flicker with an almost imperceptible soft light, which is the brilliance that permeates the death qi and vitality that burst out when they meet and hedge against annihilation, and the source of vitality is the countless poisonous insects that she has just incorporated into her body.
Using the vitality of poisonous insects as consumables to replace her death, the method of the green girl is simple and crude, but it is also extremely effective. If it weren't for the poisonous snakes and poisonous insects around her who died together with other living creatures, she could even live here with this method without worrying about her life at all.
was fed half a Guyang Pill by Hao Youxiao, but the three who were not in danger of their lives were still cowering in Hao Youxiao's arms, and refused to come out except for occasionally having to rise up and guide the direction.
If it weren't for Li Chuyi, if it weren't for the terrible woman next to her who ate insects and secretly swept around with even more terrifying eyes, it would have turned around and ran away outside the dead forest, and it wouldn't have followed up if it was killed.
Even now it's not willing to take the lead to show the way, the strange woman has been staring at it with a smile, it has buried its head and refused to let it go, it is forced to be helpless.
At this moment, the three of them miss Xiao Erhei very much. The big black dog also bullied it but wouldn't kill it, the strange woman next to him was different, and the sensitive three could clearly feel the faint murderous intent hidden in her eyes that seemed to be smiling.
It was sure that as long as it dared to show a slight no, she would swallow it immediately, just like the poisonous insects she swallowed, and would never care whether Hao Youxiao agreed or not.
In any case, the dead forest is getting deeper and deeper, and the surrounding scenery is getting more and more gray.
The dead trees, which had been dense enough, were becoming more and more thin, and only the wood ash on the ground told of their former existence. The dead leaves on the ground are becoming more and more fragile, and even the light breeze from walking can cause them to crumble into ashes, raising wisps of gray-white dust.
Eventually, even the ground beneath the dead leaves lost its vitality. The originally solid ground turned into fine dust, and it was difficult to step on it, and it could trap people in it if they were caught off guard, just like quicksand.
In the quicksand, the two found many mutilated bones, one of which even made the green girl exclaim, because it was nothing else, it was the remains of a ghost baby with five heads.
The five-headed ghost baby is almost the same if it is not a fairy beast, this kind of existence is extremely rare even in the depths of the ancient rainforest, I don't want to meet one here, and I died miserably here, and I can't even leave a complete skeleton.
stepped forward to investigate, and the green girl's eyes became more solemn.
The five-headed ghost baby didn't die from injuries, and judging from its bones, it didn't even suffer the slightest injury. The cause of its death was that the blood and vitality of the whole body were forcibly extracted, and even the most solid bones could not be left, and the flesh and some bones of the whole body were all turned into ashes, leaving only the hardest part of the bones turned into something like a stubborn stone.
Can squeeze a five-headed ghost baby like this...
The green girl looked at Hao Youxiao with a worried look in her eyes.
Hao Youxiao read her eyes, smiled and shook her head gently.
"He won't hurt me. ”
"It's not whether he will, but whether he can control it!"
Sighing, the green girl pointed the way.
"Look at this, what he has seen along the way only shows one thing, he is so desperate for life for some reason, so longing that he may even lose his sanity, and even the five-headed ghost baby is infected with his fingers. No, no, he didn't want to, but he didn't know at all, he was already delirious! The road went straight to the west, and there was not the slightest turn on the way, and he was obviously walking with an obsession, absorbing all the vitality he could encounter along the way, and there was no distinction at all!"
The ghost baby may have been found by himself, or he may have happened to come across it, and he obviously didn't realize the gap between them anyway. In other words, the first reaction of a slightly rational person when he encounters this thing must be to flee, even if he has some support, he will take it seriously, and it is impossible to let it attack without flashing like this, and he will not even fight back. ”
Holding Hao Youxiao's shoulder, Lu Gu said seriously: "Child, it is very likely that he has really lost his mind, he may not recognize you in the past now, and if you do something miserable, no one wants to see it." ”
After a moment of silence, Hao Youxiao smiled slightly and shook her head gently.
"No, I believe him. ”
"It's not a question of whether you believe it or not! Look at Li Sinian, a demon in his heart will make his six relatives not recognize him, Li Chuyi's situation is likely to be even more serious than him, you..."
"Even if that's the case, I'm going to see it. ”
Looking at the road ahead, Hao Youxiao's eyes were resolute.
"I didn't stay with him when I was canonized as the crown prince, and even if there were thousands of reasons to excuse myself, I couldn't shirk the remorse in my heart. I didn't plan to leave him again this time, he lived or died, even if he did kill me, I didn't care. Because I know that it is not him, he will not hurt me, and I will help him find himself, even if he dies, this is my decision, and I will not regret it. ”
"If you die because of this, what's the use of rescuing him? He will be sad too, and you still can't be together, it's pointless!"
"Doesn't it make sense?"
Smiling lightly, Hao Youxiao asked: "Master, if you now learn that your godfather is not dead but is trapped, and if no one rescues him, he will die, and you are only half sure that you will save him, and the result of failure is that you yourself will die, what will you do?"
The green girl was silent.
The answer is yes.
Don't say half a point of certainty, even if she is not sure, she will also go, just to win a glimmer of life for what she loves.
Intellectually, this is stupid.
Only when people live can there be hope, and it is stupid to go even if they know that they will die, so it is better to save their lives to avenge them.
But emotionally speaking, this kind of thinking is very understandable, and even admired by many people.
If you can't live together, then at least you can die together. Knowing that his lover is suffering and not helping, blindly looking forward and backward to do the so-called "planning and then acting", until the death of the body, he regrets it, crying and shouting and then continuing to plan revenge, how much more meaningful is it than being stupid?
In the affairs of the country, there is no way to do this. However, for the sake of children, this practice is often difficult to accept.
And women are often more emotional than men, Hao Youxiao is the same, and so is Lu Gu.
At the beginning, Li Chuyi fell from the sky in the square of the Taixu Palace, and the dog attacked Hao Youxiao to relieve the siege, and personally killed a person to vent Hao Youxiao's anger, no matter what his purpose was, this was the sweetest thing for Hao Youxiao, and it was an indelible precious memory.
Now that Li Chuyi is in trouble, let her hide aside and watch silently, she can't accept it and can't accept it.
As she said, she has to take a look at whether she is alive or dead, even if the final result is death, as long as there is a slight possibility that can help Li Chuyi, it will be worth it.
It's her obsession, it's her understanding of love.
It is difficult to distinguish the true heart of wealth and wealth, and the true feelings are only revealed in adversity.
She'd missed it once, and this time she'd be there for him anyway.
If persuasion fails, she was persuaded, and Lu Gu felt funny, sighed softly and patted Hao Youxiao, but in the end she didn't say anything.
Although she is not a child, Hao Youxiao's temperament is so kind to her spleen and stomach, which is extremely rare.
Secretly scolding what master and what apprentice, Li Chuyi was as "evil" as his master, and Lu Gu rushed to take one step ahead of him, blocking Hao Youxiao behind him strictly.
Stepping on the dead ashes all over the ground, the two kept moving forward, and suddenly the three of them came out and screamed, and then retracted their heads and only showed one eye to quietly probe, instead of its size, the master and apprentice had already discovered the strangeness ahead.
On the small dirt slope two people high, a figure sat on the ground on his knees.
The man had his back to them, and his emaciated back made it hard to believe that it would be the chubby Li Chuyi, but Hao Youxiao still recognized him at a glance.
"At the beginning..."
"Shh
was about to call, but was held down by the green girl.
Staring at it, the divine thought quietly poked out, and after a while, the green girl was slightly stunned, frowning and striding closer to the past.
Feeling that the master's face was wrong, Hao Youxiao's heart suddenly went up and down. As Feichen approached quickly, Hao Youxiao finally realized that something was wrong after seeing Li Chuyi up close.
There is no breath.
It wasn't the breath of a living person, not even a dead person, as if it was just an empty shell and not a person sitting there, no different from the stone next to it.
"What's going on?"
Hao Youxiao's eyes turned red, but Lu Gu waved her hand and pointed forward.
"Go ahead and have a look. ”
Going around to the front, at a glance, Hao Youxiao hurriedly covered her mouth and almost didn't scream.
She finally knew why Li Chuyi looked like an empty shell, because it wasn't like it, it was an empty shell.
The back half of the body was intact, but the top half of the front half of the body drooped down, and something came out of it, leaving only a useless remnant in place.
"It's... How did this happen?!"
Hao Youxiao was a little confused.
If she didn't know that Li Chuyi was indeed a person, she would definitely suspect that Li Chuyi was a demon clan who knew how to transform snakes.
"Let's go, keep looking, I want to see what kind of monster that kid is!"
Waving her hand, the green girl took the lead.
The two continued to walk for a while, and as a result, they found several relics one after another, each of which was a little wider than the previous one, and it seemed that Li Chuyi's size had been increasing.
"Looks like that kid has good food!"
It wasn't until she was about to walk out of the dead forest and see the last relic that Lu Gu smiled with interest: "I've seen those who have grown fat, but it's really the first time I've seen them so quickly, is that kid a ball?"
Hao Youxiao was suddenly amused, and her nervous mood was slightly relaxed, but when she saw something in the afterglow, her heart instantly rose again.
Rotten gourd.
