Qin Chong followed the iron-eating beast's gaze and looked into the depths of the bamboo forest.

It was dark ahead, with only the rustling of the wind and the gentle swaying of bamboo.

Retract your gaze.

Lu Xueqi was lying in her arms, her eyes closed, and there was a faint softness on her face.

Qin Zhong squatted down, so that the person in his arms could lie down more comfortably.

All around is the scene of the aftermath of the war, a depression.

The dirt under his feet had already been crushed several times, and it was messy.

You have to be farther away to see the black bamboo still growing tenaciously.

Qin Zhong looked around, and in the black bamboo forest not far away, he saw a relatively flat stone.

Feeling the softness in his arms, he gently used his strength to carefully hold the person in his arms and walked towards the stone.

Flatten your pace as much as possible so that the person in your arms doesn't feel bumpy.

After sitting on the stone, Qin Chong breathed a sigh of relief.

Lowering her head, Lu Xueqi was still lying quietly, with no sign of waking up.

I don't know what I dreamed of, and a faint smile appeared on my face.

The wind is still blowing around, bringing a hint of coolness.

Qin Zhong lowered his head and looked at the person in his arms, only feeling that the years were quiet.

There was a whistling sound in the sky.

Qin Zhong looked up.

It's Xuyangzi who flies in.

He waved his hand at Xuyangzi.

Xuyangzi also saw Qin Chong sitting by the bamboo forest.

Hurriedly came this way.

"Brother Qin. ”

saw Lu Xueqi who fell asleep in Qin Chong's arms.

A worried look appeared on Xuyangzi's face: "How is Senior Sister Lu?"

"Whisper. ”

Qin Chong whispered to Xuyangzi.

The eyes kept on the person in the arms and did not leave.

"Senior sister is just out of strength, and there are no other major problems. Brother Dao doesn't have to worry. ”

Seeing that Qin Chong didn't raise his head, his voice was calm.

Xuyangzi was stunned for a moment.

I noticed that Qin Chong's eyes were full of softness when he looked at Lu Xueqi.

Xuyangzi suddenly reacted.

He arched his hand to Qin Zhong and said in a low voice, "Brother Qin, forgive me, Xiaodao really couldn't help you just now." ”

"Fortunately, Brother Qin and Senior Sister Lu cultivated to a high level and repelled the Demon Sect demons. ”

"Xiaodao is really ashamed. ”

Now that there is nothing to do, Xiaodao said goodbye to Brother Qin, and then returned to the mountain gate to retreat and practice. ”

"Brother Qin, take care. ”

After speaking, he looked at the iron-eating beast that had already lost his breath, turned around, and prepared to leave.

Qin Zhong said to Xuyangzi: "Brother Dao, take care, my sister is now, I can't see off Brother Dao below, and I hope Brother Dao will forgive me." ”

"You're welcome. ”

Xuyangzi smiled at Qin Chong.

Set up the jade Ruyi, and then go to the sky.

Qin Chong suddenly remembered that Xuyangzi had been in close contact with the Iron Eater Beast, and he should have asked him just now if there was anything that the Iron Eater Beast cared about in the depths of the bamboo forest.

When he raised his head, he saw that Xuyangzi was already far away in the sky, and there was still a small dot left.

Shaking his head, he thought, "Forget it, when my junior sister wakes up, let's go to the depths of the bamboo forest to have a look, what can make the iron-eating beast remember before it dies should not be an ordinary object." ”

I sat for a long time, watching the sun hang high overhead and set in the west.

Fortunately, this place is sheltered by a bamboo forest, and the hottest sun does not reach here at noon.

On the contrary, there is also a cool wind, which blows from time to time.

Otherwise, Qin Chong could only take the risk of disturbing Lu Xueqi's sleep and take her out of here.

For a whole day, I couldn't do anything, and my right hand was under Lu Xueqi's head, and I didn't have a chance to move.

I just sat where I was.

Qin Chong didn't feel the slightest impatience, he just kept looking at the person sleeping peacefully in his arms, and he felt calm and serene in his heart.

There is even an idea that time would freeze there.

When the sun is about to set.

Lu Xueqi let out a soft voice.

Finally woke up.

When he opened his eyes, he was greeted by Qin Chong's appearance.

He smiled softly, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, then stood up.

Look back at where you are.

Qin Chong was still in place, not turning into a phantom and dissipating.

"Senior brother. ”

The smile on his face became more obvious, sweet, I really wanted to stick it on, touch it gently.

Qin came back to his senses and hurriedly got up.

"Senior sister, is there anything uncomfortable?"

Asked a little crampedly.

"Feeling, good. ”

Lu Xueqi carefully felt the situation in her body.

It's really good, after a good night's sleep, the mana depletion has disappeared.

Some of the injuries that had occurred due to the use of the Excalibur Thunder True Technique have also been repaired.

Feel the breath that is still left in your body.

Lu Xueqi knew that it was Qin Zhong who healed himself.

The most important thing is that he slept very soundly this night, perhaps because he knew that Qin Zhong was guarding by his side.

I feel the warmth and peace of being close to each other.

looked at Lu Xueqi, who had a faint smile on her face and her breath had recovered.

Qin Chong was also very happy.

A smile appeared on his face.

"Senior brother, what happened to the demon sect witch?"

Lu Xueqi asked, still worried about Baguio, and just after recovering, she asked Qin Zhong about the situation.

"I was taken away by her men, and I saw that you were out of strength, and I was worried about your injuries, so I took care of you first. ”

Qin replied, "Those Demon Sects took advantage of that time and left with Baguio. ”

"Baguio?"

Lu Xueqi was puzzled: "Senior brother knows the name of that demon girl?"

Qin Chong was stunned for a moment, looking at Lu Xueqi looking at him suspiciously.

"Didn't I tell you?"

Lu Xueqi shook her head.

"When we were in Kongsang Mountain, do you remember the two yellow-clothed disciples of the Ghost King Sect that we caught?"

"Hmm. ”

Nodding.

Lu Xueqi returned: "At that time, Senior Brother said that those people followed their sect master's daughter to the Necromantic Abyss. ”

"Yes, it's that Baguio, after you left the Necronomicon, I met her down there. ”

"Maybe I thought it wasn't a big deal, so I forgot to tell you her name. ”

Lu Xueqi nodded.

accepted Qin Chong's explanation.

Then he looked at the corpse of the iron-eating beast in the open space outside the bamboo forest.

"What is their Demon Sect for, to find the Iron Eater?"

"I don't know. ”

Qin Zhong shook his head.

"By the way, after you fell unconscious, I saw the iron-eating beast looking inside the bamboo forest before it died. ”

Perhaps, there is a hidden purpose in them. ”

"Let's go check it out. ”

"Hmm. ”

Lu Xueqi nodded.

The two of them walked together towards the depths of the bamboo forest.

It didn't take long for a mountain wall to come ahead.

Standing at the foot of the mountain wall, looking up, there is no end in sight.

On the left and right sides are a dense bamboo forest, obscuring the view.

"Senior brother, come and see. ”

Lu Xueqi's voice sounded not far away.

Qin Chong walked forward with Lu Xueqi's voice.

Not far away, there is a cave hidden in the corner of the cliff.

Outside the cave is a huge rock, and under the cover of the stone, it is easy to ignore the cave behind the stone without paying attention.

Lu Xueqi had already walked towards the cave along the gap between the stone and the cliff.
