I couldn't utter a single full syllable, my hands touched his warm body, my ears could hear his voice, even if it was just a dream, it was worth it. I hugged him tightly, greedily feeling the warmth on Qi Yan's body. Holding him, I was suddenly not afraid of anything, and I felt very tired and scared.

My tears couldn't stop falling, there really is so much going on these days.

"Don't be afraid, it's okay. If you want to cry, cry out," Qi Yan patted me, "I know, I know everything." ”

"Let her get some rest, she hasn't had much rest these days." Chen Zhi said on the side.

Qi Yan let go of his hand and said, "Chen Zhi is right, you have a good rest, and we'll talk about it later." ”

"I don't dare to sleep, I'm afraid it's all a dream, and when you wake up from the dream, you'll be gone." I won't let go.

"Everything is true, and I swear that no matter what happens, I will stay by your side and never leave. I will never leave you again like last time, and I will always stay with you. ”

"I just want to seize every minute and every second of my time with you now, I'm really scared ......"

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm here."

A strange fragrance wafted in, tiredness hit, and in a drowsiness, I fell headlong into a deep dream.

So this must be a dream...... I actually saw it...... How do I see that......

Someone, a familiar person, who will it be......

He seemed to be shouting something, and it seemed to be painful, a heart-rending pain, like a sword that almost tore through this dream......

I stepped forward gently, wanting to ask him, who are you, why are you here, why is it so painful......

But with each step I took forward, his figure became more indistinct.

I got up in a hurry and began to stride towards him, but I ran farther and farther away, and at last I could barely see him......

I stood there blank, no one, nothing else, just darkness.

What's going on...... Where did that person go

I turned around and saw another person, no, a lot of people, crying, cursing, approaching me.

Among those people, there are Qi Yan, Chen Zhi, An Yin, He An, Lao Mi and many people close to me.

They now see me as an enemy, and they are waving their fists against me.

Why......

I stared at the men so blankly that I forgot to back off, letting them rush at me and drown me.

Bursts of sharp pain invaded the whole body, like I had felt at the entrance of the Dead Forest before, but it hurt a thousand times more than that feeling. All of a sudden, I went back to the night when I was surrounded by Aunt Qi Yanxia Xiaoya.

But even more desperate...... It's like stepping into an abyss, and there's no room for struggle.

Why...... Why!!!!

"Eise! Esi! Wake up! ”

Someone was shaking my body hard.

The voice...... It's Qi Yan.

I opened my eyes slightly, and the image was fleeting, replaced by a quiet darkness.

My face was cold, I reached out and touched it and it was wet, and I actually cried because of a dream. Maybe it's because of the dream, maybe it's because of the past, maybe it's because of the future.

It's just that that fear is real, and it doesn't linger anyway. It's like a dream that you can't escape.

Your mouth can refuse to admit the facts, your eyes can ignore the facts, and your ears can ignore the facts, but there is always a soft place in your body that will accidentally leak your thoughts.

What I fear the most...... Or loneliness.

Maybe it's the same with soul tamers, that's why they tame a lone spirit to accompany them. Every creature has its weaknesses, and a powerful soul tamer is nothing more than a child who weeps and dreams every night.

"What just happened? Is it a nightmare? Chen Zhi asked on the side.

I shook my head: "It's okay, it's just a dream." ”

"This nightmare is about this dead forest, and there's a strange aura that makes it easy to fall into hopeless visions or dreams, especially if you've been through so much. Most of the creatures die from nightmares and visions. Chen Zhi sighed.

This may be the terrible thing about the Dead Forest, maybe you can be so strong that no one can hurt you, but you can't get rid of your own demons.

"It's fine, it's just a dream. I won't take it to heart. I smiled.

There will be many such dreams, as long as they stay in this dead forest. I couldn't help but fight a cold war.

I felt the warmth of Qi Yan's hand, which was still on my shoulder, but I couldn't hear him say anything.

Qi Yan...... What happened to you...... I sat there quietly, waiting for him to speak.

"We get out of here, we have to get out of here." I could feel the force on Qi Yan's hand, and I also understood his determination at the moment.

I put my hand on Qi Yan's hand and said, "We will definitely leave here." ”

I tried to get up from the ground, but I felt dizzy, but fortunately Qi Yan helped me in time. I was weak in my limbs and had stars in my eyes, and I had to sit down again to rest.

Although the tamer's constitution reduced my hunger, I had not eaten for several days, and my spiritual power was close to zero, so I was obviously a little unable to support it.

"The first thing to do is to restore my spiritual power, otherwise I will not be able to get out of this dead forest at all. Do you know of any way to restore my spiritual power? I asked.

"I know ......"

"No way!" Qi Yan rudely interrupted Chen Zhi's words, "You can't use this method. ”

"What is it? Chen Zhi, what do you tell me? I asked anxiously, it turns out that there is a way, there is a way!

Chen Zhi did not answer.

"Yishi, don't worry, there will be another way. I'll help you get some food......" At this time, Qi Yan paused.

Yes, this is the Dead Forest, where does the food come from, if you don't feed on spiritual power, even if you barely survive in the illusion, you will starve to death.

"Qi Yan, what is the method? If I didn't have spiritual power, I would be a dead end, and my current situation can no longer afford to worry so much. "I was almost pleading with Qi Yan.

I don't want to drag Qi Yan and Chen Zhi down with such a weak body, I hate myself like this.

Qi Yan did not answer.

There was a maddening silence all around, eerily still, stretched out to the point of reaching the edge with every second.

"Qi Yan?" I tried to scream again, but I couldn't see his face, I couldn't hear his voice, I could only guess, guess that he was making a difficult decision at the moment.

It's a very difficult choice.

It's like a father choosing whether to protect his children or adults, a dancer who chooses whether to be healthy or career, and a college entrance examination student who is entangled in whether to prioritize a major or a priority school when filling in the volunteers.

Chopping off the left hand or chopping off the right hand, the result is all pain.

But we have to choose, even if there is no good option.

Because we have to move forward.
