Chapter 8: A Hero

Lost Forest.

It looks lifeless on the outside, but if you dig deeper, you will find that the diversity of species is so vibrant inside. All kinds of rare and dangerous tropical animals, insects, and birds depend on the forest for sustainment. The isolated interior has long formed their inherent food chain.

At the bottom of the black swamp of the forest is a small insect called the rot worm, which is invisible to the naked eye. Animals and humans, if they accidentally get stuck in the swamp, sink to the bottom. The insect crawls over and burrows into the corpse and begins to corrode from the inside, with internal organs, tendons, blood, and finally flesh. In the end, it doesn't matter if it's the living or the dead that fall into the swamp, they end up leaving a pile of bones. The animals of the Lost Forest will habitually drag the corpse into the swamp after the death of their companion and let the rotting insects dispose of the corpse.

The carcasses are digested by carrion and turned into nutrients that nourish the animals in the great forest. Considered extremely dangerous to outsiders, the swamp is a natural grave for animals.

In this way, the Mysterious Forest forms an ecosystem on its own outside the Kyushu continent. There are many unknown mysterious creatures hidden inside, along with this "Red Devil".

Or has she been hiding in the deserted forest for thousands of years, waiting to be born?

The moment the woman in the ice opened her mouth, the blue wolf keenly felt that this powerful and independent forest was silent. The birds, beasts, insects, and even plants in the forest seemed to hold their breath.

There was a dead silence all around.

Take your left hand off the ice and take small steps back. This small step carries a little hidden panic and wolf bèi. Such a wolf has never appeared in an adult blue wolf, but today, he was really shocked by the scene in front of him.

She...... Still alive?

But it was supposed to be alive. It was because of the work of the "Red Devil" that the blue wolf would not take the task and come to this place.

The Red Devil is not only alive, but his voice is full of vitality: "Please help me, I don't know what's going on, I'm stuck here when I wake up." Can you please get me out?"

The blue wolf remembered the purpose of the mission, and his expression was solemn.

……

A man, a big living person, appeared!!

Helian Xiaojiang's excited pupils lit up. In the dark forest, I spent three days and nights motionless in the cold ice. From panic, to despair, to boredom, to giving up, and now there is finally a big living person in front of her.

The man is about twenty-five or sixteen years old, with a handsome figure, a large knife pinned to his flexible waist, and he is dressed as a hero in ancient costume. The sword eyebrows are in the sideburns, the face is handsome, the eyes are solemn, and the long black hair is neatly tied behind the head. Judging from the appearance, it is the type that Helian Xiaojiangte likes, but she has no heart to appreciate it now, and she has no time to take care of the other party's weird costumes.

I was frozen into ice cubes for three days and three nights without eating or drinking, and my body didn't feel anything strange. Accepting such a fantasy setting, a man in ancient costume was accepted very lightly.

The blue wolf's reflexive retreat made Helian Xiaojiang mistakenly think that the other party planned to retreat.

"Please help me, I don't know what's going on, I woke up and was trapped here. Can you please get me out?" she pleaded eagerly again, with a humble plea in her eyes. If he hadn't been able to move, Helian Xiaojiang would have reached out to grab the corner of the wolf's clothes a long time ago. The man in front of her may be the only life-saving driftwood, and she must not let him go.

Here, the corners of Helian Xiaojiang's anxious eyes were red, but there was no trace of reaction in the dark green eyes of the man over there. There is no sympathy or vacillation, and one can't help but suspect that he has a heart like stone.

If he can move freely, Helian Xiaojiang can "pounce" and kneel down. It's even worse and more panicked for a modern female college student who is so ordinary that she can't be ordinary that she encounters this kind of fantasy and horror than waking up one day and suddenly finding out that she has been kidnapped. The person was kidnapped, and it was still on the surface of the earth, but Helian Xiaojiang really didn't dare to be sure where she was now. The whole person is on the verge of collapse.

Just when she was in a hurry, the blue wolf finally took action.

He stretched out his left hand to grasp the hilt of the saber at his side, and slowly pulled the knife out of its scabbard, the sharp blade of his arm wide open and slashed a streamer in the air. When the blade and scabbard are completely separated, it emits a loud metallic chirp.

She was his mission, no different from many of his previous missions, but it seemed a little different. Under the cold expression of the blue wolf, there was a contradiction in his heart.

To save or to kill?

With his feet slightly shoulder-width apart, his weight was on the side, and the tip of the knife was aimed directly above the red head, and then he slashed down with a sharp force. The blue wolf has already made up her mind: she is just a task. It's no different from any normal task.

After making this decision, the blue wolf held his breath and abandoned the strange feelings in his heart, and used eight points of force on his wrist. The task to be completed is to get people out first.

"Ah~" Helian Xiaojiang let out a rapid scream, her eyes widened in horror and closed tightly in fear, only to hear the blade fall on the ice above her head, making a loud "bell~".

It didn't hurt or itch, Helian Xiaojiang secretly opened his eyes, the ice cube above his head was intact, the sharp blade did not leave any marks on the ice cube, and not even a little ice slag was cut off.

"Ah~" This voice is regretful.

The hard collision, the rebound back, the blue wolf's wrist was vibrated and ached faintly.

He glanced at the knife in his hand in disbelief, scrutinizing the ice that was still as smooth as a mirror. Ice release sharpens iron like mud, and even more, the ice release knife in the hand of the blue wolf is refined by the best refiner in Kyushu. This was probably the first time he had encountered something that he couldn't split.

The blue wolf only hesitated for a moment and immediately raised his knife again, and he adjusted his posture with ten great force.

Two, three, four......

Helian Xiaojiang closed her eyes nervously from the beginning, and screamed in fright. In the back, I could calmly watch the knife fall from the top of my head. The visual impact was strong, but she was not affected at all in the ice.

The hardness of this ice cube is strange, but it is not an easy thing to survive all year round in the hottest country near the equator.

Five, six, seven or eight......

"That...... Why don't you make a fire? "Finally, Helian Xiao's opening was established. There was a flattering caution in his tone, for fear that this man who was as cold as an ice cube and whose face was expressionless would turn around and walk away impatiently.

But when she finished saying this, she ...... The blue wolf really stopped what he was doing, put down the knife, turned around and left.

Helian Xiaojiang was dumbfounded: "Eh?!! don't go! I'm just talking." It's okay if you keep chopping, I don't mind. Big brother, hero, hero. Don't go, please come back!" Helian Xiaojiang shouted loudly at the back of the blue wolf, regretting it in his heart.
