The forest is always beautiful in the early morning, and with the golden sunlight gradually emerging from the mountains, under the shade of the dense branches and foliage of the trees, a few bands of light shine like a naughty child, disturbing the silence of the woods and awakening everything in slumber.

The sound of birds, insects, and the sound of the wind blowing the water and the wood all filled the whole morning with refreshment and vitality.

It's just a pity that there is no appreciation on the road.

Yi Aotian and his party, who entered the center of the Bailing Forest, have fallen into infinite silence since the Ariel incident yesterday. Even Zhu Haotian, who usually talks a lot, walked at the back of the team with a serious face, and quietly opened the distance between him and Nangong Lihe and Yi Aotian.

Before, because each person's ability has their own strengths, the movement and movement distribution of their team has always been Xue Yan and Zhu Haotian, who are good at occupancy and close combat, walking at the front of the team, Yi Aotian with Yi Xiaobai, who is relatively young and has insufficient combat experience, walking in the middle of the team, and Dai Xuelin and Nangong are separated from each other.

But since Ariel was sacrificed as a sacrifice, everyone consciously or unintentionally distanced themselves from Yi Aotian and Nangong from hatred. Especially Nangong Li, seeing his gentle smile as always, everyone couldn't help but feel creepy.

You know, Ariel was invited into the team by him, and he even did not hesitate to be seriously injured in order to save Ariel halfway. Just when even Dai Xuelin and Yi Xiaobai, who knew what he was about, couldn't help but wonder if he was in love with Ariel, he actually used such a gentle expression to mercilessly sacrifice her to those disgusting insects.

Because of this intentional or unintentional alienation, the layout of the team gradually changed, Nangong was far away from Hate and Yi Aotian at the front of the team, and the others followed far behind.

For such an obvious rejection, Nangong Lihan didn't explain anything, as if nothing had happened, and naturally chatted with Yi Aotian without a word.

Yi Aotian didn't regret his actions at that time, in fact, even without his help, Nangong Lihing could complete the entire plan alone. Then now he will not be ostracized as he is now. Even Shiro was afraid to stop being close to him.

But that's who he really is. I don't know why, he is so eager and afraid that Shiro can really know him.

longing for her to be the only person in the world who really knows herself, and afraid that she will leave her when she knows that he is so cruel. That's why he made a move, although the result was not necessarily good. Yi Aotian smiled bitterly.

Before sunset, Yi Aotian and his party gathered together to prepare for a rest.

is still the same as before, Yi Aotian and Nangong are far away from hatred. The two of them didn't mind, so they casually found a place to start resting.

And because of his uneasiness, doubts and suspicions, Zhu Haotian, who had been holding back for a whole day, couldn't help but take the lead in asking Nangong Li, who was about to go out to find food: "If it wasn't for meeting Ariel, then who would be the one who died?" ”

Hearing his question, Dai Xuelin, who was sitting on the side to recover her aura, was all over her body for a while. That's the question she wants to ask. There are so many senior brothers and sisters in Yunlan Mountain who are higher than her, why would he Nangong Lihate find her Dai Xuelin. You know, in the last few years, there hasn't been any intersection between them. She had never thought about this question before Ariel's accident, but now it made her feel creepy, if it wasn't Ariel, then wouldn't it be her who died now-

Similarly, in Zhu Haotian's opinion, Xueyan's ability is strong, Yi Xiaobai is covered by Xueyan, and Dai Xuelin and the three of them are in a group, so if it is not Ariel, the person who is most likely to be sacrificed is him, although his strength is not low, but if he has just come out of the swamp, his aura is depleted, and he is attacked by the two at the same time, it is estimated that he will have the same fate as Ariel.

Faced with this problem, Nangong was silent and gradually put away the smile on his lips, and as the smile disappeared, an inexplicable evil aura came out of his handsome nature, like a demon that had finally been released, and the cold air rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. This was the first time they had seen such a Nangong separation.

"Is this this~" He found a random stone and sat down. One hand propped up his lazy chin, and his eyes were evil.

"I didn't think about it."

He's a scoundrel. The expression quickly switched to its original appearance.

Zhu Haotian clenched his fists. The corners of Nangong Li's mouth rose to reveal a disdainful expression.

"So, who do you want my answer to be?" He raised his eyebrows and asked the indignant Zhu Haotian.

Zhu Haotian was silent.

Nangong Li's hatred swept over everyone present.

"I'm going to find some game." With that, he turned and left.

Zhu Haotian stood in place in a daze.

Xue Yan glanced at Zhu Haotian with pity, and then looked at Yi Xiaobai, who was silent with his head bowed in his arms. Shook his head helplessly, is it the first time? Seeing life die before her eyes. It's a test! If you want to live in this world, there are too many such situations, and she should also learn to grow up, right? Alas!

Xue Yan sighed softly.

He has grown up with Yi Xiaobai since he was a child, and he knows exactly what a timid and kind demon beast she is.

In the past, when she was in Youshan, her physical fitness was stronger than that of ordinary demon beasts, and she was bullied by those little firewing birds every day, not because she couldn't beat them, but because she never wanted to hurt them.

In the one hundred and ten years he knew her, she had always been like this, mischievous, but kinder than anyone else. So her parents protected her, so that she never had to face death and blood in these hundred years. Instead of thinking about him, he was thrown into the monster beast and grew up fighting since he was a child.

Xue Yan hugged Yi Xiaobai's small body, patted her back with one hand, and comforted her.

In fact, Yi Xiaobai is not as kind as Xue Yan thinks, she just can't put aside the values she had when she was still alone. As if this was a way to comfort yourself that you were not an ordinary beast.

And her trembling, her silence was not for poor Ariel, but only for—for—for fear of something she didn't know.

Maybe it's because I'm afraid that Yi Aotian is still blackened, or maybe I'm afraid of those terrifying bugs. Or maybe it's just the fear of blood—

She didn't know what she was afraid of, Yi Xiaobai grabbed Xue Yan's clothes and absorbed the familiar smell on Xue Yan's body. I hugged the snow tightly like this, felt the patting of the big hand behind my back, and finally cried out loud.

"Wow~" She opened her mouth and cried.

Xue Yan looked at her with disgust and gently wiped her tears. And her cry finally broke the damn silence. Zhu Haotian and Dai Xuelin looked at Yi Xiaobai, who was like a cat, and laughed.

In such a "warm" atmosphere, Yi Aotian looked at Yi Xiaobai, who was crying, with worries and apologies in his eyes.

Because of his selfishness, did he scare her?
