Chapter 16: Where did the lynx come from?
After more than ten minutes, the phone was already ringing, as if it was close by.
Shu Kui suppressed his excitement, slowed down, and looked around as he walked, hoping to find the location of the passage at the first time.
As she walked, she noticed that there seemed to be a glimmer of light in the bushes in front of her, and her heart moved, and she hurried up a few steps to see clearly.
And at this moment, Jin Luoluo suddenly let out a scream from behind.
Shu Kui was startled, and when he looked back, his whole body was cold.
On the ground covered with fallen leaves, the headless lynx actually stood upright, with a pair of golden eyes full of resentment on its chest, and a bloody mouth on its belly, chewing a rag.
Look at Jin Luoluo again, his face is full of ashes, he barely fell down by holding on to the tree next to him, his skirt was torn off, and there were three deep and wide scratches on his calf, which were bubbling with blood.
To say that before, Shu Kui was shocked at most when he saw the size of this lynx, but now he is completely stunned, stupid, and has no ideas.
"Quick...... Run...... "Jin Luoluo said tremblingly.
These words made Shu Kui sober up suddenly, she glanced at Jin Luoluo, gritted her teeth, and drilled into the bushes with all her heart.
The pain of being choked and cut off made the lynx hate the two people in front of him, and when he saw that Shu Kui was going to run, where to put it, he immediately jumped and slapped Shu Kui's back with a claw.
This is not trivial, not to mention a mortal, even those with cultivation are difficult to resist, Shu Kui was slapped straight out, and he felt that all his internal organs were about to squirt out of his mouth.
Thankfully, however, a pair of hands caught her in time, saving her from the pain of hitting the ground.
"You guys really have a face, you ran into this guy as soon as you came in." It's not Ling Jiuchuan who is talking unhurriedly, who else can there be?
Shu Kui's eyes turned black in pain, and he was nauseous for a while, and he didn't have time to answer his words, so he only reluctantly turned around, wanting to see Jin Luoluo's situation.
"Don't worry, there's Tamashino." Ling Jiuchuan let her lean on herself and began to untie the bandaged strip of cloth, "Grab or bite?" â
"Catched." As soon as he touched the wound, the hot pain spread again, making Shu Kui grin uncontrollably.
"Flesh wounds." Ling Jiuchuan roughly checked it, "Let me take a look at my back." â
When Shu Kui heard this, he subconsciously turned around, until he felt his clothes being torn, he suddenly woke up and covered his chest: "What are you going to do?" â
"Let's see if the injury is serious." Ling Jiuchuan's subordinates didn't stop, and they tore apart the clothes behind Shu Kui's back with three strikes and five divisions.
Don't, go back and see. "The lynx's shot just now broke the strap of his underwear, and now if he does this again, Shu Kui is almost half-naked.
Ling Jiuchuan didn't care about her refusal at all, holding her uninjured arm with one hand to make her unable to move, while lowering her head and saying, "It's okay, you can't die, let's walk back by yourself in a while." â
"You ......" Shu Kui was so dizzy with anger that he couldn't speak for a while, so he simply ignored it, sat on the ground, and looked in the direction of the lynx.
Sure enough, as Ling Jiuchuan said, Yu Xiao was blocking in front of Jin Luoluo at the moment, with her back to here, Shu Kui couldn't see her expression, but she could clearly feel the majestic momentum emanating from her body.
This time, the lynx was stunned, and did not dare to move any further, still standing, his eyes constantly wandering over Jin Luoluo and Yuxiao, as if he was a little puzzled.
"You go, I won't hurt you, if you want to eat her, it's impossible." Yuxiao's tone was very calm, not like Jin Luoluo's orders and urgings before.
The lynx hesitated, and even looked at Ling Jiuchuan and Shu Kui.
Ling Jiuchuan also sat down, leaning leisurely against the big tree, saying that he would not participate in this fight.
The lynx judged the situation for a long time, and in the end, its fierce personality made it refuse to let go of those who hurt it.
I only heard it roar, landed on all fours, kicked its hind legs, and pressed towards the jade xiao like a hill.
Jade Xiao dodged, and with a wave of his hands, four fist-sized fireballs appeared out of thin air, all hitting the lynx.
Immediately the stench of burnt fur filled the scene, and the lynx wailed and rolled on the ground to extinguish the flames, but the fire grew stronger and stronger, and within a few minutes the huge lynx was burned into a pile of black coal.
Shu Kui was horrified, and his only thought was to leave this terrible place as soon as possible.
"Go back, it's all right." When the fire was slowly extinguished, Yuxiao picked up Jin Luoluo.
"I'm ......" Shu Kui heard the phone ringing again.
"You can't go over now." Ling Jiuchuan interrupted her.
"The passage is nearby, let me go, I want to go back to see my relatives." Shu Kui almost pleaded.
"The lynx's claws are poisonous." Ling Jiuchuan said, "It is not very toxic and it is not fatal, but if it is not treated within four hours, the wound will fester, and it will not heal - there is no medicine that can cure this wound in the world." â
Shu Kui was stunned for a moment, looked at Yu Xiao suspiciously, and when he saw Yu Xiao nodding, a wave of sadness, loss, and unwilling feelings suddenly surged in his heart, and tears rushed out of his eyes in an instant.
Yuxiao didn't know how to comfort him, sighed lightly, carried Jin Luoluo, turned around and walked out of the woods.
Ling Jiuchuan saw Shu Kui's tears in his eyes, and he couldn't bear it, so he squatted down with his back to her: "Come up." â
"No, I can't die, I'll go by myself." Shu Kui was angry, wiped his face with the back of his hand, and stood up with difficulty.
However, she was so weak that she had barely taken a few steps before her feet began to weaken.
Ling Jiuchuan didn't want to bother talking any more, so he simply picked her up horizontally.
"Put me down." The wound on Shu Kui's back was involved, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"It hurts?" Ling Jiuchuan raised his eyebrows and let go of his hand, "If it hurts, don't ask for hardship." â
After speaking, he still turned his back and squatted.
Shu Kui learned to be obedient this time, and carefully leaned on Ling Jiuchuan's back, holding his shoulder with one hand.
"How did this guy get here?" Ling Jiuchuan stood up and asked as he walked.
"I don't know, it appeared out of nowhere." Shu Kui said sullenly, "What kind of monster is this?" Jin Luoluo obviously strangled it to death, and even cut off his head. â
"Xingtian lynx, there were zĂ i in ancient times, and now there are very few, and there are probably only a few here." Ling Jiuchuan said, "It will not die if it is beheaded, after eating the enemy, the head can still grow, and it can only be killed by burning it." â
"Xingtian? Is it the one who was beheaded, and then used the breast as the eye and the umbilicus as the mouth? "Shu Kui has heard this mythical story.
Ling Jiuchuan said "um".
Shu Kui thought about the appearance of the lynx just now, and felt that it was indeed worthy of the name.
"It stands to reason that the Xingtian lynx is nocturnal and sleeps during the day, how could it suddenly appear?" Ling Jiuchuan was a little puzzled
"You don't know, and I won't know." Shu Kui: This is the truth.
Ling Jiuchuan thought for a moment and asked again, "Before it appeared, were you injured?" â
"Nope." Shu Kui is sure.
"Then it wasn't the smell of blood that drew it in." Ling Jiuchuan guessed: "Could it be your smell?" â
"What's my smell?" Shu Kui didn't understand.
"The smell of human flesh." Ling Jiuchuan turned his head slightly, "Now, my nose is full of the unique aroma of food. â
"Have you been planning to eat me?" Shu Kui didn't know if he was serious or joking.
Ling Jiuchuan didn't answer, walked a few steps faster to catch up with Yuxiao, and didn't say a word.
Not long after, the four of them came out of the woods.
Shi Shennuo, who was waiting by the boundary monument, didn't say anything, but just ordered the medical officer to treat the injured as much as possible.
Immediately, Shu Kui and Jin Luoluo were placed in their respective rooms, and the palace maids shuttled back and forth, handing medicine and water, and for a while, the small building was very lively.
And in the living room, Jin Yi, who came together, knelt straight down towards the two kings: "Shen Nuo, Jiuchuan Majesty, Luo Luo has caused a big disaster, all because the old minister has no way to teach, please give sin." â
Ling Jiuchuan looked at Shi Shennuo: "The Xingtian lynx that was killed belonged to your family, what do you say?" â
Shi Shennuo shrugged: "It's just a brute, I don't care - the injured person is from your family, what do you say?" â
Ling Jiuchuan got this answer, turned to Jin Yi and said, "Elder Jin, get up, it's not Jin Luoluo's fault, don't worry about your business." â
Jin Yi thanked him, got up and stood aside, lowered his head, and stopped making a sound.
"I heard that this friend of yours owes you money." Shi Shennuo had already inquired about the recent events in Kuixian's country, "Are you very short of money?" â
Ling Jiuchuan didn't make a sound.
"I think she really wants to go back, and you forced her to stay here, right?" Shi Shennuo looked at the basin of blood brought down by the palace maid, "It's okay today, it's just some flesh wounds, if it accidentally falls into Shang Mo's hands one day, she is afraid that she will be so depressed that she will break herself." â
"Shang Mo?" Ling Jiuchuan didn't take this person in his eyes at all, "The person who wants to rob me, he doesn't have the ability to do it." â
Shi Shennuo supported himself with one hand and looked at Ling Jiuchuan for a while: "What is the origin of Shu Kui?" â
"Mortals from nowhere." Ling Jiuchuan replied without thinking.
"Oh?" Shi Shennuo didn't believe it at all.
"What do you think?" Ling Jiuchuan asked rhetorically.
Shi Shennuo smiled, knowing that there were many people at the scene, Ling Jiuchuan just wanted to say, and he wouldn't tell her here: "Okay, I'll still say that, one day, if you are willing to let this mortal friend go back, you can come to me." â
Ling Jiuchuan nodded slightly, and the corner of his eye swept to several medical officers coming downstairs, so he went up to ask about Shu Kui's injury.
The leading medical officer bowed: "Your Majesty Jiuchuan, the wounds of the two girls have been taken care of, and there is no major problem." â
"Alright, let's go." Shi Shennuo saw that there was nothing wrong, and began to beckon everyone back to the palace, and at the same time asked Ling Jiuchuan: "Are you coming?" â
Ling Jiuchuan actually wanted to go to see Shu Kui, but when he thought of the unfinished work at hand, he had to tell Yuxiao to stay and follow everyone away.
Jin Yi took leave and came to Jin Luoluo's room.
"Uncle." Jin Luoluo leaned against the head of the bed, his face as white as paper.
Jin Yi closed the door, put a barrier to insulate the sound, and walked around the room again, after making sure that no one was eavesdropping, his face was full of anger for a moment: "Tell me, what's going on?" â
