Chapter 7: Amber Body
The territory of the Xin Kingdom is not large, and among them, the Mysterious Forest occupies more than half of its land.
The Lost Forest has never been inhabited, and the land has been isolated from the outside world for nearly 10 million years. There are many reasons why humans dare not set foot in it, the most important of which is the incomprehensible diversity of vegetation and animals in the forest itself, and the ubiquitous swamps are a double barrier, forming two natural barriers.
It's easy to get lost in the middle of a large, dark forest. Occasionally, a virtuoso dares to break into the heart of the forest, either swallowed up by the secretive swamps or attacked to death by all kinds of strange and dangerous animals lurking in the forest.
In addition to this, there are a large number of insects that spread diseases in the forest, and the plants are always crawling with large biting ants. The ground is damp, and under the layer of fallen leaves is often slippery, soft mud and rotting wood. Clumps of vines and a mess of creeping plants make walking more difficult.
All these dangers have completely deprived people of the opportunity to set foot in this pure land. This makes the Lost Forest the purest ancient forest.
As soon as the wolf stepped into the Lost Forest, it was like entering a dark green underwater world. The lush foliage and yuroshi overhead block the sunlight from the outside world.
After the flying little yellow worm entered the darkness, the light yellow on its body actually lit up, and it automatically turned into a small yellow light guiding the way in the darkness, flying straight towards the designated position above and below the speaker's body for a moment. Qiji followed closely behind, four muscular hooves leaping briskly over swamp after swamp and thick roots creeping on the ground.
Qiji belongs to the class of spirit animals. It is similar to a horse, with short pine-green hair and rabbit-long ears. He has horns on his head, and he is very intelligent and humane. And its foot is ten times faster than that of a horse, and it is patient. It is the best, fastest, and most expensive mount in the Kyushu continent.
One person and one man chased a touch of yellow in the air without distraction. I don't know how long it took, but suddenly a drop of water fell from the sky and smashed on the shoulder of the blue wolf.
At first, the wolf thought it was a dew drop from a tree that accidentally slipped off the branch. But after a while, these crystal droplets of water continued to roll down like pearls with broken threads, hitting his head and body. It turned out to be raining in a drizzling manner.
The frequency of the spirit beast Qiji's running was disrupted by the sudden rain, it let out a panicked roar, its front hooves lifted off the ground, and its hind hooves supported all the weight and stood up semi-erect. The blue wolf reacted immediately, and grabbed the reins and clamped his thighs so as not to fall.
In the sky of Shaoyue, there is no heavenly water. This has not changed for thousands of years.
There is a vision in heaven, and there will be great changes. Clever spirit beasts such as Qi Ji all felt this uneasiness.
"Huh~~. Don't be afraid. When Qiji quieted down, the blue wolf leaned down and touched the mane on Qiji's neck to comfort it.
Looking up, a few dozen meters above your head is a green sky intertwined with the leaves of towering ancient trees, and rain dripping from the dense crevices of the plants.
The rain that falls from the sky is for the rain of the sky.
Denser and denser droplets of water fell from the sky, soaking his hair and shoulders, and the blue wolf frowned. He clamped Qiji's abdomen and shook the reins to speed up his pace.
After another day's walking, the yellow light finally stopped on a tree deep in the forest. The frequency of the "buzzing" flapping wings is getting slower and slower, and the light on the body is getting dimmer and dimmer. Eventually, the small yellow insect turned back to its original dead gray. Fell from a tree into the dirt and never found again.
The destination has arrived, and its mission is accomplished, and it loses the meaning of existence, and it also loses its life.
The rain made the already muddy soil softer and wetter. The blue wolf jumped down from Qiji's back, stepped on the soft mud, and walked into the big tree where the flying insect had just stayed. He reached out and touched the trunk, nothing special. So he turned his head and looked around, and found that there seemed to be a white light not far away, under the cover of the trees.
The rain in the sky made the light in the forest even darker, and in turn made the soft white light more clear and eye-catching.
"Wait here. The blue wolf stroked the mane behind Qiji's ears.
The spirit beast understands human nature, it understands its master's order, shakes its head from side to side, and spews out long breath from its big nostrils. The blue wolf did not tie the reins of Qiji, and at a dangerous time and place, the activities of imprisoning Qiji with the reins could only make it a little more dangerous.
I walked about 100 steps.
Through the knee-high grass, over the thick branches that lay across the ground, and through the curtains that hung like doorways, the wolf came to the place where the white light was.
The light source came from a large transparent block of ice, and a woman was frozen inside the pure white crystal. It is very similar to the white amber that is abundant in the Xin country. It's just that the resin is wrapped in insects and leaves, and the ice cube is wrapped in a woman with sound limbs.
Rao was as calm as a wolf, and was also shocked by the sight in front of him, he stared at the ice cube for a long time before coming back to his senses, and then raised his foot and passed between the two tall ancient trees.
As he got closer, the chill on his face became more and more obvious.
I walked in and saw it more clearly. The surface of the huge ice cube that was more than two people tall was as shiny as a jewel. The woman wrapped in ice was naked, her eyes were closed, her eyelashes were thick, her body was slender and slender, and her hands and feet hung down naturally. I don't know if the skin is natural, or because of the freezing, it's fair and almost transparent. On the other hand, her long red hair was spread out messily, red as blood.
Although the clothes do not cover the body, all the skin is exposed, but in the eyes of the blue wolf, there is no sense of seduction, but it looks very holy.
The blue wolf traveled south and north, and saw beautiful, wonderful, and beautiful girls with different styles in the ten countries of Kyushu. But this is the first time he has been so deeply attracted to the opposite sex, and after the first amazement, there is a sense of familiarity like a family member in his heart. It was as if they had known each other a long time ago.
He continued to move forward, slowly approaching. The stuffiness of the forest dissipates and is replaced by a refreshing sensation. The blue wolf stretched out his left palm and pressed it against the ice, the cold touch coming from the same source as his saber.
The forest, the ice, the woman, the saber, himself...... For a moment, the wolf forgot what he was here for.
Even when the rain stopped, the blue wolf didn't pay attention.
Is this the rumored Red Devil?
So weak and boneless, so quiet, so beautiful, it seems that there is no attack power at all. It doesn't match the legendary terrifying image of the Red Devil at all. Did the master convey the wrong message? Or did he go to the wrong place?
The blue wolf looked at it in silence, as his mind raced through his thoughts.
Suddenly, the spirit beast Qi Ji a hundred steps away roared with fear and warning, and the blue wolf reflexively turned his head to look in that direction, but did not find a dangerous aura. Turning back, the girl in the ice had opened her eyes.
A pair of almond eyes, red pupils moved from the palm of the hand attached to the ice cube to the blue wolf's face.
There was a slight look of astonishment on the girl's face, followed by a look of ecstasy in her eyes.
She opened her mouth and spat out two words: "Help me." ”
