Chapter 7: The Forest of Death Flowers

Previous Chapter

Fifty miles southeast of Qingyang City, there is a treacherous forest, the tall canopy of trees covers the sky and the sun, and the brilliant and dazzling sunlight can hardly penetrate the dense black branches and dark leaves, and can only illuminate a corner of the edge of the forest.

This forest of dark green trees, the wind is always there, the ground is cold, and the surrounding trees are covered with inky leaves, and the atmosphere is full of dead silence.

When the weak sunlight shone on the grass, there were only shadows and shadows, and they saw huge figures lurking in the shadows, their distorted bodies and messy branches and leaves, like demons with teeth and claws, which were terrifying.

Suddenly, a bright flame shone all around, accompanied by the sound of crisp footsteps, and I saw a rather strong arm holding a torch out of the darkness, the owner of the arm was a young man with clear eyebrows, and behind him, a young girl with both innocence and beautiful appearance was closely followed.

"The Death Flower Forest lives up to its name, and it's a little scary. After observing the surroundings for a while, Xu Shiyuan fixed his gaze, stared ahead with full attention, and then pursed his lips and smiled, muttering.

"Shi Yuan, after collecting the Cultivation Flower, let's leave. Xu Yunxi looked frightened, grabbed the young man's left arm tightly with a jade hand, and said in a subtle voice: "This forest makes me a little uncomfortable. ”

Xu Shiyuan's eyes moved, and he talked about one thing with interest: "Yunxi, have you heard my father tell that story?"

"What's the story?" On Xu Yunxi's pretty face, cold sweat fell like rain, and many black lines appeared on his white forehead.

"There are man-eating demons in the Death Flower Forest, I heard that they will come out at night to pick out the lone humans, I heard that a mercenary was lost in the Death Flower Forest last month, and when his companions found him, he had been eaten to the bone and scalp... Do you know why the evil ghost doesn't eat scalp? Because people have dandruff, hahaha!" Xu Shiyuan said with his eyebrows fluttering.

Xu Yunxi Qiong gasped, and immediately slapped his shoulder twice with a fist, and said slowly: "You are still in the mood to joke at this time!"

"Don't be so nervous, it's daytime, and even if there are evil spirits, they're sleeping. Xu Shiyuan laughed.

There are many strange flowers and plants growing in this dead flower forest, the mud is potholed, not suitable for horse-drawn carriage walking, and it is quite inconvenient for ordinary people to walk, and the environment is dark, so people who enter the forest are very easy to get lost. So far, no one in Qingyang City has been able to depict a complete map of the Death Flower Forest, and it is unknown how big this forest is and how many rare creatures it hides.

Xu Yunxi was also the first time to the Death Flower Forest, and the material inventory in the previous room was all found in the market, but she had seen a rough introduction to the Death Flower Forest in the books, so she had made psychological preparations before leaving, and she didn't want to, she went deep into the forest, was blown by the yin wind, her hands and feet were cold, and now she was terrified, and she completely lost her former calm.

Listening to Xu Shiyuan's joking words, Xu Yunxi was angry, I am so scared, do you still have the heart to joke?

After she labeled Xu Shiyuan as a 'straight man' in her heart, she silently cheered herself up, don't be afraid, she will be able to leave after a while...

Suddenly, the young man walking in front turned around, made a grimace, and screamed at the same time.

"Ahh

Xu Yunxi was cheering herself up, and the young man's strange scream scared her a lot, and her face was pale, and her red lips opened widely.

After coming back to her senses and realizing that this was Xu Shiyuan's prank, she couldn't bear it anymore, raised the soles of her feet angrily, stepped on the opponent's toes, and then clenched her fists, swept over the opponent's figure, and strode forward, "You are really annoying! I don't want to pay attention to you!"

"Just kidding, why are you so serious! Don't go too fast, you'll get lost!" Seeing that the girl was getting farther and farther away from him, Xu Shiyuan scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, then held the torch and followed quickly.

The two of them walked side by side for a few minutes, and suddenly there was an empty meadow in front of them, and on the grass grew one plant after another glowing blue.

"It's a nourishing flower!" Xu Yunxi recognized the plants that emitted blue light, and they were exactly the same as the pictures in the book.

The six white petals on their buds were half-open and half-closed, hanging down slightly, and the inside of the bud seemed to have a jewel inside, exuding a dazzling light.

The surrounding air is mixed with the fragrance of flowers, which makes people smell refreshing.

Xu Yunxi couldn't help but run into the flowers, spinning her slender willow waist, her long black hair and white skirt dancing slightly, when the hazy sunlight slanted on her fragrant shoulders, standing in the flowers, she was as dusty as the fairy in the painting.

Seeing her overjoyed expression, Xu Shiyuan also smiled happily and muttered, "There are so many of these spirit flowers, enough to replenish the inventory." Suddenly, he saw a black shadow flickering among the flowers, and then an oval-shaped green head lifted up from the girl's back.

"Be careful!"

Seeing that his childhood sweetheart was in danger, Xu Shiyuan rushed out without the slightest hesitation, and the spiritual power in his body was also unconsciously raised to the peak, he swept the side of the girl as fast as he could, and then kicked forward with his right foot, hitting the monster's green head.

The monster took the blow and immediately fell backwards, apparently wounded, but strangely it did not let out any wails.

When it fell into the flowers, there was no loud noise. It seems to be as light as a piece of paper.

"Shiyuan, what's going on?" Xu Yunxi's clear and bright eyes were looking at the young man in surprise.

"Something was trying to sneak up on you, but don't worry, I've kicked it down. Xu Shiyuan told her the facts, and immediately looked around her fragrant shoulders and looked at the flowers behind her, but he looked at it for a few seconds and found no trace of the enemy.

Where did that monster go just now?

When Xu Shiyuan was thinking deeply, Xu Yunxi also looked back behind him, but the result was the same as the young man, and he didn't find anything abnormal.

"Shiyuan, you want to tease me again, right? Where is there any enemy here?" The girl Yu put her hand on her waist and looked at Xu Shiyuan with an angry face. Probably because she was too angry, her chest rose and fell violently, and the sapphire necklace swayed from side to side.

"If you make such a joke again, I'm really going to be angry! I won't cook anything for you to eat in the future!"

Xu Shiyuan listened to the girl's complaining words, and his heart was slightly angry, but he couldn't find an enemy, and it was not easy to refute directly, so he said: "If you don't believe me, forget it!

"It's exactly what I want!" Xu Yunxi was teased by him continuously, and when she was angry, she pointed to the east and said, "You go there to pick it!"

Xu Shiyuan saw that she didn't want to be with him, and in an instant, he was furious and shouted: "If you tell me to go to the east, I'll go to the east? Wouldn't I be very faceless? I'm going to the west to pick up!"

"Whatever you want. Xu Yunxi didn't want to pay attention to him, and immediately squatted down and began to pick the nourishing flowers on the ground.

The fragrance of this nourishing flower has the effect of concentrating and calming the mind, not only can it be used to refine pills, but it is also good to make a bonsai at home.

Xu Shiyuan suffered a dumb loss, and it is not difficult to imagine the anger in his heart, he strode to the west, roughly pulled out the cultivation flower, and uprooted it.

On the other side, Xu Yunxi complained while picking materials, I was so angry, why didn't he come to coax me?

What a boy who doesn't understand a woman's heart, I was blind to be with him!

He lied to me twice and didn't know how to admit it.

Wait a minute, I'll leave myself alone and ignore him!

Xu Yunxi filled the basket and wanted to leave alone, but at this moment, a green shadow stood up from behind her, and the monster opened its slender vines, silently wrapped around the girl's legs, and then pulled upward.

Xu Yunxi didn't expect this sudden change, she only felt that her feet and neck were slipping, as if she was hooked by something, and then, the whole person spun around, and was caught in the air by the monster's vines.

"Huh?"

Xu Yunxi turned his gaze in astonishment, only to see a giant flytrap with an ugly face standing on the flowers, waving the rest of the vines, it had no head, no ears and nose, but a surprisingly large mouth.

When the mouth opened, it was red from top to bottom, and there were dozens of white thorns as sharp as swords on each side.

"Helpβ€”"

Seeing this terrifying scene, Xu Yunxi screamed loudly in shock.

Xu Shiyuan heard the cry for help not far away, and suddenly, his heart was shocked, and he immediately rushed in the direction of the girl.

"Shiyuan, come and save me!!" Xu Yunxi's eyes rolled with tears. At this time, a cold wind blew, and she felt a cold swish in her lower body, and in an instant, she remembered something, and her cheeks were red.

First, she was wearing a white dress, and then, she was in mid-air in an unsightly pose.

"Shiyuan, you still don't want to come here, if you see me... I can't get married, don't come over!!" Xu Yunxi's face was full of embarrassment, and he shouted loudly.

"What stupid things are you talking about!" Xu Shiyuan kept running to the scene, but when he saw the fragrant scene, he quickly covered his eyes and turned his face 90 degrees to the left, "What age, still wearing pink rabbits... I'm really convinced!"

"Ahhhh
