……

It was late at night, quiet in the Baicao Valley, in the bamboo house, Aurora slept in the master bedroom, Shangguan Feihu and Su Weini, two children, were sleeping on the floor of the living room, while Dongfang Xiao was still tied to the ground, and seemed to have fallen asleep, with a blanket draped over his body, which Su Weini covered him.

The night breeze blew in through the window, numbering the books on the table, and the kettle hanging from the hearth was blown and creaked.

Suvani curled up, as if dreaming of something, and smiled sweetly. Shangguan Feihu was also strained in his sleep, his face was expressionless, and in the bedroom, Aurora was snoring, and he was already asleep.

Suddenly, Dongfang Xiao opened his eyes, his body turned slightly, his eyes glanced at the two people sleeping beside him, his head was slightly raised, he looked around, he was drilled by the wrist of the hemp rope, and finally got out of the buckle, and then he quietly untied the hemp rope wrapped around his arm, frowned and gently tore the tape on his mouth little by little, he complained in pain, but for fear of being heard by Shangguan Feihu next to him, he could only hold back and not call out, after that, he stole two pheasant chicken legs that were roasted at dinner from the table, Wrapped in lotus leaves, then tiptoed to the door, glanced back at Suweni and Shangguan Yuanji, his eyes stayed on Suweni for a few more seconds, then put on his shoes, and fled under the tree without looking back.

Suddenly, Suweni woke up from her sleep as if she had woken up, and reflexively looked at her right front, and found that only the blanket and the rope scattered on the ground were left, and Dongfang Xiaoren was gone. She wanted to wake up Shangguan Feihu and Aurora, but she just raised her hand but stopped in mid-air, she thought, if she told Shangguan Feihu and Aurora, after catching him back, she would have to hang Dongfang Xiao up and beat him, so thinking about it, Suweni still gave up, wanting to chase Dongfang Xiao back before they found out, so she got up and put on her coat alone and walked out of the door.

After Suweni came down from the giant tree, she followed the footprints on the grass, everything in the Hundred Grass Valley has spirituality, so there will be clear traces everywhere Dongfang Xiao walks, although Suweni is young, but he is talented, and he immediately followed those traces.

Baicao Valley, located at the southwest end of the Modisak Forest in South County, is the remaining vein of the Yaslan Mountains, and is also the dividing line area between the Hongjun Empire and the Aslan Empire, because it is formed by the two veins of the mountains and rivers on the flanks of the Aslan Mountains, like a dead valley, the cliffs on both sides of the valley have a height of three hundred zhang, and the clouds are absolutely cloudy, since ancient times, there is only one road to the east of the valley mouth, but there will be a road leading to the "Black Phoenix Forest" when entering from the valley mouth, because the road is low-lying, so it will not be found when entering the valley mouth, But those who are not familiar with the terrain will definitely be confused and go astray when they exit the valley mouth, and embark on the road to the Black Phoenix Forest.

The Black Phoenix Forest, which was originally a part of the Modibec Forest, was later covered with swamps, and the legend inhabited an ancient black phoenix, good at eating people and animals, so no one dared to enter, and the Black Phoenix Forest was adjacent to the Hundred Grass Valley, although adjacent, but the environment was indeed a heaven and an underground, the Hundred Grass Valley was like a fairyland, but the Black Phoenix Forest was like a Rakshasa Hell, which made people fear it before seeing it.

Suvani chased to the entrance of the Black Phoenix Forest and chased Dongfang Xiao away.

She has been living in Baicao Valley for more than four months, of course Suweni listened to Aurora's instructions, saying that she could go anywhere in Baicao Valley, but she couldn't go to the Black Phoenix Forest, and it was best not to go even in the direction of the valley mouth, but Suweeni followed Dongfang Xiao's traces all the way to here, she had long forgotten Aurora's instructions, but was worried about Dongfang Xiao, at this moment, she knew that the Black Phoenix Forest was in full swing, and Dongfang Xiao would definitely be poisoned if she entered at this moment.

Suvani thought for a few seconds, took out a handkerchief from her bosom, soaked it in water, covered her mouth and nose, and rushed in desperately.

Along the flat path to the Black Phoenix Forest, the road is full of yellow and rotten fallen leaves, and the surrounding growth is a craggy strange tree surrounded by chaotic vines, the branches and leaves are sparse and rampant, obscuring the sky and the sun, and the swamp on the ground faintly emits a rancid smell, this smell combined with the biological gas emitted by the malignant plants that do not see the light of day, this is the source of the miasma.

"Dongfang Xiao!" Suweni walked shallow and shallow, and before she entered the Black Phoenix Forest, she felt a faint sense of unease, and a sense of terror arose from the bottom of the young girl's heart, but instead of slowing down, her feet walked faster and faster, and finally ran simply.

"Where are you! Come back soon! It's dangerous here!! Suweni cried out, but her voice seemed to have been swallowed up by the dark forest, and there was no echo.

Suddenly, she tripped over a tree root hidden in the mud, fell to the ground, the veil on her face was also scraped off by the branch, she lay on the ground, looking around in fear, she was just a child, of course she would be afraid of these dark things, not to mention that he was a girl.

But Suweni seems to have inherited the backbone flowing in the blood of the Detias Su family since she was a child, she gritted her teeth, and stood up with the damp trunk, at this moment, she heard a thin cry and scream, she knew that this must be Dongfang Xiao's voice, and it was not far away, she looked for the sound and walked cautiously and cautiously, and in a hurry, she did not forget to pay attention to whether there was a swamp under her feet.

She was strange because she hadn't encountered a miasma since she came in, which was strange, so she thought that Aurora was making up a lie to scare them, and scaring children was what adults do most often.

As she rushed in the direction of the source of the sound, she suddenly heard a loud sound of trees breaking, like the sound of some huge creature breaking a thick trunk, and then, a furious roar of beasts came out, which made Suvenie's nerves tense at the same time, and also in the almost dark jungle, determined the direction of Dongfang Xiao: west!

"Dongfang Xiao! Are you okay! Suweni ran over decisively, and at the same time took out a small short knife hidden on her body for self-defense, held it in her hand, and ran in the mud for a long time, she saw a tall beast figure fluttering wildly under a tree, as if she wanted to rush up the tree, Suvani saw that the beast seemed to be crazy, and immediately hid behind the tree, and looked with her eyes to see if there was Dongfang Xiao on the tree.

"Who's where!" Sure enough, someone in the tree replied loudly.

With her back against the trunk, Suweni quickly responded, "It's me!" I'm coming with you! Are you okay! ”

"You're Suvani! You go! This beast is going to eat me, go back and call the old man to help!" Dongfang Xiao responded loudly from the tree, as soon as he finished speaking, the beast under the tree seemed to have discovered that Suweni was hiding here, because it heard the sound, so it wanted to shift the target and pounce on Suweni's side, Dongfang Xiao saw that the beast was about to rush towards Suweni's side, and immediately shouted, "Bastard!" Where are you going! I'm here!! As he spoke, he threw the leftover half of the chicken leg over, and the beast happened to be struck in the face, and then, enraged, he folded back again.

"That's an adult black-striped tiger! The tree will be toppled by it in no time! You're no match for him!! You're going to die! Suvani exclaimed.

As soon as Dongfang Xiao heard this, his heart suddenly became stunned, his legs began to weaken, where did Dongfang Xiao, who grew up with a golden spoon in his mouth from a small brocade cloth, jade food, and mouth, have seen this kind of scene, although he has a very high talent for magic since he was a child, but he is cowardly by nature, which is also the reason why Dongfang Caesar sent him to follow the aurora in the mountains and wilderness. A warrior who has no talent and no courage in battle will surely die!

But what Dongfang Xiao lacks is this courage, if he faces it bravely, maybe he can get out of danger.

Suweni hid behind the tree and held the short knife, thinking for a long time, and finally she made up her mind, mustered up the courage to rush out from behind the tree, and shouted at the black-striped tiger dozens of meters away, "I'm here!" Come and catch me! As she spoke, Suweni struck the trunk of the tree with her short knife to attract the attention of the black-striped tiger.

At that time, the black-striped tiger was roaring and swooping down on the trunk of the tree, sawdust and mud flying, after hearing Suweini's cry, it was also stunned at first, looked at Dongfang Xiao on the tree, and then looked at Suweini, as if it felt that Suweni was easier to deal with, so it pulled its legs and rushed towards Suweini's side.

"Hey!" Dongfang Xiao saw that the black-striped tiger really ran over there, and looked over there worriedly, but still didn't dare to go down the tree.

Seeing the black-veined tiger rushing over, Suweni immediately moved his body and flashed to the side, and the two-meter-long body of the black-veined tiger swooped through the air, sliding on the muddy ground for four or five meters before stopping, and then turned to look at Suweini.

"Winnie!" Dongfang Xiao hugged the trunk of the tree and shouted loudly.

This is an adult black-striped tiger, physical strength and attack power and other aspects have reached the highest point, although the wisdom is low, but it is more than enough to deal with a child like Suweni, Suweni faced the ferocious black-striped tiger, the body can no longer move, there is only a dead end. In the seconds that followed, Suweni's nerves were so tense that she lost consciousness.

In the black phoenix forest, the roar of the black-striped tiger was heard, and its forelimbs rubbed against the muddy ground, making a violent noise.

Just when Suweni was ready for the black-striped tiger to rush up, she heard the beast's cry getting farther and farther away, and the suffocating fishy smell of the black-striped tiger disappeared, and she opened her eyes to see the black-striped tiger running away with its tail in the dense forest to the east, as if she was frightened.

"Are you alright?" Dongfang Xiao was still shouting in the tree.

Suweni patted her chest with palpitations, and it took a while to calm down the nervous mood just now, and then she came to Dongfang Xiao's tree with a deep and shallow foot, raised her head and said, "You are a man, why are you afraid of being like this!" ”

"The brute is gone?" Dongfang Xiao is timid.

"Gone, I don't know why, as if I was frightened by something." Suwenny pointed to the east.

Hearing Su Weni say this, Dongfang Xiao slipped down from the tree with confidence, Su Weini looked at his still trembling legs and stomach, and couldn't help but cover his mouth and smile.

"What are you laughing at!" Dongfang Xiao asked.

"Seeing that you are scared like this, and you still want to escape, what if I don't come with you?" "So come back with me, I'm afraid the teacher will punish you more harshly if he finds out." ”

"That old man always works against me." Dongfang Xiao said as she walked.

"Then you just told me to go to him to save you......" Suvani said with a smile again.

Dongfang Xiao was just about to refute, but the newly formed mind in his body suddenly felt something, and then he looked back reflexively, and then his eyes were wide open in shock, and Su Weini was also stunned when he saw him like this, and followed his gaze.

I saw that a huge black mud-like thing was crawling on the ground and trees, looking at them, like a huge black evil spirit, wrapped in black mud, just crawling out of the swamp and looking at the two of them with a pair of white eyes.

"What is this...... Dongfang Xiao didn't dare to speak loudly, only dared to ask in a low voice, "This can't be ...... Black Phoenix. ”

"I don't know," Suvani said tremblingly, "let's keep walking." ”

The two children walked on with their own steps, but the large pile of black monsters behind them still followed them, and this time they heard the sound of the monsters moving, like the sticky sound of a man wrapped in the mud of the swamp and walking on the ground, which made people listen to their hearts, but more thrilling was still to come.

"Dongfang Xiao." That black monster actually called out Dongfang Xiao's name, how terrifying it was in this dark and mysterious forest!

"Dongfang Xiao." Another sound sounded, and the cold hairs on these two people stood up, and Suweni involuntarily hugged Dongfang Xiao's arm.

It was only now that Suweni understood why the black-striped tiger had fled inexplicably just now, it was not afraid of the knife in Suweni's hand, nor was it retreated by Suveini's courage, but because this black monster came! It terrified all beasts, and they had no choice but to flee for their lives!

"There are those who go with the flow, there are those who advance bravely in the torrent, there are those who are false and wronged, there are those who avoid disasters, and there is no bone joint...... There is not a single bone joint. The black monster muttered again, earnestly, and in an instructive tone.

"Excuse me...... What are you talking about? Who are you? Dongfang Xiao asked with a trembling voice.

"The heavens are broken, the oracles are hidden, the things are eight gods, gloomy and gloomy, and there are three of them, in the black phoenix forest, it is a black light." Suddenly, with a flash of golden light, the sound of the aurora came, and he appeared beside Suweni and Dongfang Xiao, touching the hair of the two children with both hands.

"You are the offspring of the disease, and I seem to know you." The black monster said faintly.

"My student is not sensible, I'm sorry to disturb your rest......" Aurora bowed shallowly, "Eight deceitful gods...... Away from the ghost. ”

"Call me Void Black Photo."

……

Speaking of this, Suweni suddenly stopped, she turned her head and said to Dongfang Ziyan, "Ziyan, I regret about Li'er, that is, Yan Wei's girl, but I think Yufei is not bad, since you also like her, then go to her and do what you want, nothing else matters." ”

The gentle wind blew gently, blowing Dongfang Ziyan's hair, he sat on the grass, turned his head slightly, Su Weini beside him was already gone, only the golden holy light had not yet dissipated.

"Mom, I promise you." Dongfang Ziyan said softly, and the voice reached the wind and drifted into the distance.
