Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan and Dongfang Qingxue enter the Phantom Forest

++++++++++++++++++++ Ma Xiaoquan didn't pay much attention to the change in Dongfang Qingxue's expression, at this moment, his mind was still thinking about the heart of time (source) in his lower abdomen.

Why did the heart of time react the first few times I entered the Phantom Forest, but this time I didn't feel any discomfort?

Ma Xiaoquan thought about how long he rested, but unfortunately, until Dongfang Qingxue reminded Ma Xiaoquan to continue to hurry, he didn't come up with a reason.

Standing up, Ma Xiaoquan stretched.

Dongfang Qingxue asked curiously: "Ma Xiaoquan, I saw that you had been pondering just now, so I didn't dare to disturb you, well, what are you thinking?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan lied with a slight smile: "I was thinking about how long it would take us to get out of the Phantom Forest, although we have the tools to guide the way, but today it feels very abnormal to me." ”

"Abnormal? What's wrong? ”

Of course, Ma Xiaoquan can't tell Dongfang Qingxue about the Heart of Time, but he just wants to ask Ma Xiaoquan why he feels abnormal, and he can't say anything about it.

"Let's continue on our way~" Ma Xiaoquan said.

"Hmm~"

There is no day or night in the Phantom Forest, and after an hour, the surrounding scenery is still gray and dead.

Ma Xiaoquan didn't know how big the Phantom Forest was, but the more he walked, the more uneasy he felt in his heart.

"Ma Xiaoquan, look there~" Dongfang Qingxue suddenly grabbed Ma Xiaoquan and pointed not far away.

"Black? Dark? Ma Xiaoquan looked into the distance and was also surprised, "When is there a dark place in the Phantom Forest?" ”

"Why don't we go and have a look?" Oriental Qingxue built yì road.

Ma Xiaoquan snorted: "It's okay, anyway, the front is our only way, if we take a detour, I'm afraid the time will be delayed, let's go, uh, you follow me." ”

Dongfang Qingxue snorted and walked cautiously behind Ma Xiaoquan.

"Xiaoshuang" Ma Xiaoquan called Xiaoshuang softly.

"Woo" Xiaoshuang came out of the back of Ma Xiaoquan's neck and hovered in mid-air.

"You go to the front first."

"Woo" Xiaoshuang nodded her head and flew towards the darkness.

Frost is a fire spirit, it can emit light, but when it goes into darkness, it immediately illuminates a small area.

Ma Xiaoquan and Dongfang Qingxue rushed to the edge of darkness, raised their heads and asked, "Xiaoshuang, how is the situation?" ”

"Woo" Xiaoshuang withdrew from the darkness and floated in front of Ma Xiaoquan, whining and gesturing.

"Hmm~~" Ma Xiaoquan nodded and explained to Dongfang Qingxue, "Xiaoshuang means that it hasn't figured it out either, Dongfang girl, it seems that we have to go in and see it in person." ”

Dongfang Qingxue nodded: "You can do whatever you say."

Ma Xiaoquan instructed: "Xiaoshuang, you protect the two of us, don't stay away." ”

"Whew"

The two stepped into the darkness, and instantly a sense of coolness hit them.

Dongfang Qingxue is a daughter, she is already more resistant to the dark, and the feeling of coolness hits, Dongfang Qingxue can't help but pull the corner of Ma Xiaoquan's clothes.

Ma Xiaoquan gently grabbed Dongfang Qingxue's hand and comforted: "Don't be afraid, there is Xiaoshuang to protect the two of us, there is no problem." ”

Dongfang Qingxue's cheeks were feverish, if it weren't for her lowering her head, she would have been extremely shy at this time.

After walking for more than a hundred steps and not finding anything abnormal, Dongfang Qingxue couldn't help it: "Ma Xiaoquan, how did this darkness come about, can we still go out?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan turned his head to look at the gray behind him, raised his head, looked at the jade wrench on his thumb, and nodded: "The direction is not wrong, don't worry, I'm here~"

In fact, Ma Xiaoquan has no bottom in his heart, and his understanding of the Phantom Forest is only a little bit of it, if it weren't for Dongfang Qingxue by his side, Ma Xiaoquan would have already withdrawn from the darkness and chosen to take a detour.

After walking for another hundred or so steps, she still didn't notice anything unusual, Dongfang Qingxue was about to speak, and the aura around her suddenly became manic.

Yes, it's manic, Ma Xiaoquan thought that the words "breath manic" would only appear in fantasy novels, but at this moment, his feelings are indeed the same.

"Ma Xiaoquan, what's wrong with you?" Dongfang Qingxue didn't seem to feel the so-called "breath mania".

"Oriental girl, do you feel anything?"

"What? I don't understand what you mean? ”

"Don't you feel it?" Ma Xiaoquan asked rhetorically.

Dongfang Qingxue shook her head: "No." ”

Ma Xiaoquan took a deep breath: "It's strange~~"

"Ma Xiaoquan, what do you feel?"

Ma Xiaoquan said: "The breath is manic. ”

"Manic breath?"

Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Let's go quickly, it seems that it is not suitable to stay here for a long time." ”

"Hmm~"

The dark area is not big, and Ma Xiaoquan and Li Qinghan walked out of the darkness after walking for more than half an hour.

Turning his head to look at the dark area behind him, Ma Xiaoquan let out a long exhale.

As he walked out of the dark area, the manic aura that had been suppressed around him disappeared, Ma Xiaoquan raised his head and looked at Xiaoshuang floating in the air, and ordered: "Xiaoshuang, go to the front and take a look." ”

"Whew"

Dongfang Qingxue asked, "Ma Xiaoquan, why did you ask me such a question just now?" What's wrong? ”

Ma Xiaoquan smiled and shook his head: "I always have a feeling that the darkness in that place is very weird. ”

"Well, I think so, Ma Xiaoquan, when we have time, let's come together again, okay?"

Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Okay." ”

"Gollum" Ma Xiaoquan's stomach suddenly screamed, Dongfang Qingxue covered her mouth and chuckled, "Look at you, you're hungry, let's sit down and rest for a while and eat some dry food." ”

Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand: "No, I'm hungry indeed, but I have jerky here, come, Oriental girl, I'll give you two to taste." ”

Ma Xiaoquan said, unfolded the backpack he carried, took out two blackened jerky, and handed them to Dongfang Qingxue.

"Is this jerky?" Dongfang Qingxue took the jerky, and felt a little worried in her heart, how to eat this black and hard pout?

"yes, don't you know? In Ningyuan, it was captured during the war with the Jurchen Ministry, and later we also learned the practice of jerky, although this thing is very tough to bite and hard to chew, but after all, it is meat, and it is very filling. ”

"Oh~" Dongfang Qingxue smiled bitterly and brought a piece of dried meat to her mouth, and tried to bite it, sure enough, as Ma Xiaoquan said, it was very tough, and it was indeed a little difficult to chew, but Dongfang Qingxue was young after all, and her teeth were also very good.
