Chapter 377: The Guide
There was a shrill chirping sound from the foothills in the distance, and it was impossible to tell what kind of creature it was, and the woods were already dark, and the moon was not hanging in the sky at night, but there was a little light source, so that the shadows in the woods were faintly visible.
"You can't really be spoofing me...... Liang Xiao kept moving along the road, he calculated this road by himself, it had been about two hours of walking, if it was really the same as the forest when he came, it should be over in half an hour.
"Or is it just that I'm thinking too much about myself, and it's not the same at all?" If this is true, it will only make things more troublesome, and there is no way out now, let alone looking for Apsus in this vast underworld, and according to what Hela said just now, he is now in danger.
The howling sound was endless, and Liang Xiao only felt that he had goosebumps all over his body, and he didn't know what it was, but he felt that it was terrifying enough.
"I didn't expect that I was already in the underworld, and I should be considered a dead person for the time being." Sitting down against a tree, Liang Xiao gasped slightly, "I still feel tired." ”
Looking up at the dark sky through the gap in the leaves, Liang Xiao thought about whether to leave tonight and climb these trees, although I don't know if the monsters here will climb trees, but as long as they leave the ground, there is always some sense of security.
"It's so troublesome, if Lianhua is here, at least there are some holy marks that can be used, so don't worry......" When he stretched out his hands and stretched his waist, Liang Xiao suddenly felt that his fist had touched something hard, and the smooth shell didn't feel like a tree behind him.
Suddenly, the hairs stood on end, Liang Xiao swallowed a mouthful of saliva, turned his head with difficulty and looked behind him, and saw the things behind him clearly through the faint light.
"Hey, just kidding......"
I saw that on the trunk of the tree behind Liang Xiao, a huge centipede was entrenched on it, hundreds of feet as sharp as knives were deeply embedded in the trunk, each section of the body was thicker than Liang Xiao's hands together, and the touch and mouth on the top of the head were squirming at the moment, as if they were looking at the part of the dinner in front of them.
After a moment of silence, Liang Xiao slowly stood up from under the tree, and muttered in a low voice: "Big brother, big brother, I didn't know that this place already has a master, you adults don't remember villains, I'll go, you sleep slowly, rest well, don't get angry, be good to your body......"
However, at this moment, the huge centipede suddenly let out a sharp scream, its body squirmed rapidly, and it pounced towards Liang Xiao!
"Don't come here!" Liang Xiao screamed in surprise, and suddenly stretched out his left hand towards the centipede, at this moment, the holy mark on the back of Liang Xiao's hand emitted a dazzling light, and the air in front of him was sharply compressed, and at the moment when the centipede was about to touch Liang Xiao, it exploded violently.
The air wave generated by the explosion made Liang Xiao retreat again and again, and he fell to the ground, but the centipede, as if frightened by the blow, turned his head and ran back to the tree.
Stigmata? Just that ...... By the way, could it be that those low-level stigmata on the Stigmata Tree can also be used by themselves now?
However, Liang Xiao didn't have time to rejoice in this matter, he defeated that monster by luck, and all he had to do now was to hurry away from this place of right and wrong.
Running between the jungles, maybe it was the suspicion after the attack, or it could be the attention attracted by the noisy sound, Liang Xiao always felt that there were countless eyes staring at him around him now, and those distant howls were getting closer and closer to him at this moment, as if in the next second, something would jump out of the grass next to him.
At this moment, the fear in his heart is even stronger than when facing Apsu, at least, Apsu is the enemy standing in front of him, no matter how strong he is, even if he is not invincible, he can choose to escape, and now, he is like a prey to be slaughtered, as long as those guys jump out, their lives will be confessed to their hands.
Wheezing, Liang Xiao stopped, gritted his teeth and looked around. Until now, I still haven't left this jungle, or this is a huge rainforest, and I can't easily get out of it, or it's a trap.
After carefully inspecting a tree behind him, and after making sure that there was no problem, Liang Xiao quickly took two steps back, leaned on the trunk, looked around, and held it tightly with his left hand, the stigma on the back of his hand was silent at the moment, but the spiritual power inside was rapidly gathering.
If you can't run out, you won't run, no matter how vicious these guys are, they're just some beasts, there are so many stigmatas on the stigmata tree, if you can't even get rid of a few beasts, then don't be a spirit master!
Thinking like this, Liang Xiao simply stopped standing, sat down directly under the tree, and began to accumulate physical strength for himself, while his eyes did not leave the shrubs on both sides at all, and at this moment, there was also a sound of rustling among the bushes, as if something was approaching here, Liang Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, and began to mobilize the power of the stigma.
At this moment, a little light of stars suddenly appeared in the afterglow of Liang Xiao's field of vision, which seemed to come from the other end of the path, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look.
I saw a petite figure walking step by step from the path under the shadows, wearing a pale orange dress, and a delicate paper lantern on top of her slender hands, and on top of what should have been the most eye-catching face, she was wearing a mask, which looked a bit like the fox face on the Japanese side.
The bright light that suddenly appeared in the dark night made Liang Xiao's tense heartstrings suddenly loosen at this moment, and at the same time, from the bushes on the side, a huge black shadow suddenly rushed out, accompanied by a roaring sound, towards Liang Xiaomengpu! hacker
Startled by the roar, Liang Xiao looked at the shadow that pounced on him like a lion, the holy mark on the back of his hand suddenly bloomed with dazzling light, and when he was about to make a move, the person with the lantern did stand in front of him lightly, took out an unknown thing, and threw it towards the beast.
In an instant, the blinding flames rose into the sky, like a sharp sword tearing through the dark jungle, and the beast seemed to be deterred by the firelight, let out an unwilling roar, and after a moment turned and fled.
Shocked, Liang Xiao stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and looked at the other party after gasping for a long time.
"Thank you." Looking up and down at this petite figure, Liang Xiao always felt a little familiar, "That, you are ......"
Stretching out his hand, the slender white hand waved gently, as if to stop Liang Xiao's question, Liang Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he should not ask any questions related to the people in the underworld.
It's helping yourself, right...... Right?
Just as Liang Xiao hesitated, the other party suddenly said, "Follow me." ”
The voice is elegant, sweet, a girl's voice, and ...... This voice is somewhat familiar.
Before Liang Xiao could react, the girl grabbed Liang Xiao's hand, the small palm was not as cold as imagined, but with a hint of warmth, no matter what, she couldn't believe that this was what people in the underworld should have.
"What's your name? Oh yes, my name is Liang Xiao. Unable to find any words to break the awkward silence, and being held by the girl who met for the first time, Liang Xiao asked involuntarily.
The girl was silent for a long time, and then said softly, "Little bud." ”
"Xiaoya, ......" Liang Xiao read the name softly, and no one called this in his impression, "That, thank you for saving me just now, what did you just throw out?" ”
Xiao Ya didn't speak, and Liang Xiao couldn't continue to ask, so he could only follow her step by step, and after a while, the scene in front of him changed, and a towering mountain appeared in the jungle, and continuous stone steps continued from the top of the mountain, and it looked like there might be thousands of steps, and in the mist, it seemed that there seemed to be a building on it.
The girl didn't stop a step, and walked up the steps with Liang Xiao, and although the two children were puzzled in their hearts, they didn't dare to ask more, this is the underworld, if you really get a reply, there is no way to go back to the present world, then it is really a fun time.
"You have something you need help with." At this moment, Xiao Ya suddenly spoke, "But this is not the place where you should come, I hope you can listen to me, and my master can send you away." ”
Liang Xiao was stunned for a moment, his identity was so easy to see through? Or is it because he is not an undead himself, so he is out of step with the world?
"Thank you for your persuasion, but ......" Liang Xiao hesitated, "But I have something that I have to do, right here, if so, can I ask you about someone?" ”
"You and I ask about anything here, and if you go on a business trip, you'll never be able to go back." Xiao Ya turned her head, there was no opening on the mask, and she couldn't see her eyes, but Liang Xiao could feel that she was being stared at by her.
"I ...... I understand. Liang Xiao was a little distressed, "However, I didn't expect the situation here before, and it's too difficult to find someone, and I'm short on time now, so I really can't help it." ”
The girl was silent for a long time, and then said: "You can ask my master about this matter, he knows everything, if he is willing to help you, it is easy to say, I can't say anything, if you lose your words, it will hurt you." ”
"Thank you!" Liang Xiao nodded gratefully, he didn't expect that he would be able to encounter such a lucky thing when he first entered the underworld, although he didn't necessarily get help, but at least, he also saw a little hope.
Ascending the steps, the scene presented in front of him made Liang Xiao couldn't help but exclaim.
The torii gates, torii gates, and stone sculpture gates, as well as the buildings of the East and the West, combine to form a magnificent and unique passage, and it feels as if you can reach another world through these gates.
"It's really, incredible."
