Chapter 3: Horror in the Forbidden Zone
Xiao Xue gritted her teeth, packed up her baggage, hurriedly ran back, returned to her house and took a few ropes, a few flints, changed into black clothes, patted her thumping heart, tonight she wants to explore the forbidden area at night and get the black jade back, it's not a big deal, the worst is just a bad life, even if it's hell, you have to break through!
In the dead of night, the entire Xiao family's mansion was asleep, and several servants who were patrolling the night were also angry, Xiao Xue pushed open the door tremblingly, she never dared to come out after dark before, because at night it was the time when soul activities were most rampant, and many souls with shallow skills maintained their pre-death appearance, some stretched out their long tongues, some dragged their broken legs, some had their intestines wrapped around their hands, and some even held their heads!
Ever since she came out at night and accidentally bumped into a drowned ghost with a swollen face and a pothole, she never dared to come out at night again after three days of vomiting back.
Xiao Xue's head was almost down to her neck, and her body couldn't be smaller, so she hoped that no one would see her, and she didn't take a few steps, and suddenly her snow-white arm was in front of her eyes, Xiao Xue's scalp suddenly went numb, and cold sweat fell down, and she reached into her arms and took out two things and held them tightly in her hands, turned sideways and wanted to pass over, but found that the arm instantly appeared in front of her.
The top of the arm was dripping with blood, and a fishy smell wafted in the air, and then a "stepping" footstep sounded, like stepping on the tip of Xiao Xue's heart.
Xiao Xue ran around and ran forward desperately, but was tripped and fell to the ground by a broken foot, Xiao Xue looked at the broken arm and broken foot that stood up again in an instant, her whole body was stiff, and she couldn't move at all, in the silent night, Xiao Xue felt her heartbeat like a drum.
During the breath, one foot jumped in front of Xiao Xue, and the severed hand and foot that stopped her were automatically connected.
The crisp sound of "Titicaca" bones stimulated her eardrums, and the sound of laughter sounded, Xiao Xue felt that something was about to be close to her head, and her heart was so frightened that she was about to jump out of her throat, and her limbs were cold, and suddenly she didn't know where she got the strength to throw the beast core in her hand on that thing!
There was a scream, and then a puff of green smoke came out, and the thing struggled weaker and weaker, and finally turned into a thick stream of foul-smelling blood.
Xiao Xue vomited out a lot of sour water, she hadn't eaten for a day, and she vomited bitter bile, but fortunately, her father left her a few beast cores, and she could use the beast cores to scatter the soul at a critical moment.
Wiping a cold sweat, Xiao Xue rushed to the forbidden place with her head in her arms, fortunately, the rumors in the forbidden place were too strange, and there were regulations in the clan that no one was allowed to enter, so there were no domestic servants patrolling here.
The forbidden land was unusually quiet, every qiē seemed to be still, there was not even a trace of wind, Xiao Xue cautiously looked up and looked around, there was not a single soul!
With a long sigh of relief, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and took out a fire-based beast core from his arms, and the faint red light illuminated a few meters around, Xiao Xue searched for it inch by inch.
Not only did it take a long time, but the dreariness in the air was so heavy that she could barely breathe, there was a deathly silence, there were no living beings, no souls, no wind, and even the air was squeezing her body and spirit with a dead breath.
Just when she was about to take it anymore, she suddenly saw a red line faintly exposed in the grass, which was the red line of her own black jade!
Running over, Xiao Xue's face turned from white to black, from black to white, the red thread was alone on a well, and there was a weed on the ground on the side, where was the shadow of black jade?
Looking at the other end hanging quietly at the mouth of the well, Xiao Xue's heart sank to the bottom, and the black jade stone fell into the well!
I found a stone and threw it in, and soon I heard a dull thud, the well was empty, and it was not very deep, so I gritted my teeth, took a rope and tied it around my waist, tied the other end to a tree next to it, and climbed in.
Ten minutes down to the bottom of the well, there is no living thing in it except weeds and moss, but the dead air here is even stronger, quickly found the black jade on the ground, stuffed it into his arms, breathed a sigh of relief and just wanted to climb back, the corner of his eyes flashed silver, on a piece of moss spread a few yellow rune paper, under the rune paper lay quietly a silver-white ring, there was an impulse in his heart, as if there was something pulling himself, Xiao Xue gritted his teeth, picked up the ring and put it on his hand.
Until she ran back to the room, Xiao Xue was still panting heavily, and she recovered for a while, seeing that the sky was about to dawn, and she was about to leave quickly, she didn't want to meet Xiao Meng's roadblock.
Xiao Xue, who had been in a hurry for a few days, finally got out of Nia Town, at the beginning she tried to avoid taking the official road, there are many monsters and spirits in the mountains and forests, if you meet a high-level self, those few beast cores are not enough to see, but once she had to sleep in the wild, she found that the souls of these two days were far away from her, not close, and faintly afraid of her.
She didn't know what was going on, but it was a good thing after all, this period of time was the most reassuring thing she had ever lived, and she didn't have to worry about bumping into those things all the time.
It was noon when she walked to a mountain peak on this day, although it was not yet midsummer, but the weather was so hot that it was stuffy, she raised her sleeves and wiped the sweat on her face, Xiao Xue sat under a tree, took out her baggage and took out a steamed bun and just took two bites, when she heard a weak voice coming;
"Help......
Xiao Xue jumped up with a spirit, there was nothing at all in this radius of more than ten zhang, where did this sound come from?!
"Help......
This time, the voice seemed to be clearer, Xiao Xue pricked up her ears and followed the sound,
"Help!"
When I got closer, I found that the soul of a steppe wind wolf was hung upside down on a tree by a rope, no wonder I didn't see it, Xiao Xue took a few steps back, and watched it swing there from a distance, this steppe wind wolf was equivalent to a seventh-level wind magician when he was alive, according to the few magic cores left in his hand now, the highest was only level six, if it wanted to eat itself, it would have no power to resist.
tiptoed to sneak away, but as soon as he turned around, he listened to the hanging wind wolf pleading, and the seventh-level demonic beast could spit out people's words.
"Little brother, okay, save me, I was killed by the enemy, and it cruelly hung me here to let me suffer the crime of wind and rain and sun, I have persisted for two months, I finally met you, can you save me!"
The wind wolf on the tree prayed sadly to Xiao Xue, who was dressed in men's clothes, the thin soul was blowing around and looking very miserable, Xiao Xue stared at it with wide eyes and a vigilant face, and didn't move, the wolf monster was very cunning and couldn't be trusted.
"Little brother, please, you see that I am a weak soul, I have been tossing here for three months, and in a few days my soul will be gone, you can't see death without help!"
When the wind wolf saw that Xiao Xue was still retreating, he suddenly twisted eagerly a few times, the rope tightened, and it exhaled in pain,
"Save me, or you give me a good time, I really can't stand it!" The wind wolf shed tears as he spoke, and looked at Xiao Xue with a pair of eyes that were extremely sincere and painful,
Xiao Xue's heart softened, this soul looked quite pitiful, if she didn't save it, she would really be scattered, kindness was overflowing, Xiao Xue walked under the wind wolf again, raised her head and said;
"How can I put you on it if I can't reach it?"
"Does the little brother have flint? You just burn the rope off! ”
"Oh, yes!" Xiao Xue lit the flint and threw it, and the fire burned to the rope.
"Oops!" The wind wolf fell to the ground and rolled a few times to extinguish the fire that had accidentally burned on his body.
"You're okay, since you're down, I'll go first!" Xiao Xue saw him grinning there, and for some reason she was a little scared,
"Don't go, I haven't repaid you for your life!" The wind wolf's voice is indescribably strange,
"No need, you can take care of it, and when you practice in the future, you can be reincarnated well!" Xiao Xue retreated as she spoke, and the uneasiness in her heart expanded more and more!
"Hmph, you stinky boy, Uncle Ben who fell so much hurt and burned my delicate fur, do you want to leave?" As soon as the wind wolf changed his weakness, he jumped up from the ground and rushed towards Xiao Xue!
