Chapter VII: Impasse
Thinking of the gentleness of the Night Demon's weakness, he no longer hesitated, he glanced at the fire that was burning not far away, rushed forward with an arrow, pulled out a branch with a flame and threw it at the Night Demon in front of him. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Sure enough, in the face of the flying fire-carrying branches, the Night Demon hissed, and jumped back a big step, his whole body hidden in the darkness where the fire could not shine, and his eyes glowing with dark red light stared coldly at the gentleness on the edge of the fire.
"There's a play!"
Seeing the night demon's reaction, Wen Wen couldn't help but snap his fingers happily, taking advantage of the little time that the night demon was hiding away, Wen Wen quickly ran to Ai Ruo's side, picked her up, and ran back to the campfire, after all, in the current situation, this girl who has no ability to resist is too easy to become a target for the enemy.
After a short rest, Ai Ruo had barely suppressed the tidal fear in her heart, she shook her head in annoyance, she was too careless, now she is still soft all over, stuck in the gentle arms and can't get out, although she is forced to be held, but she is not angry, the most important thing is that as long as she breathes, she will smell the masculine breath on the gentle body, which makes her heart can't help but feel a little deer.
You know, she grew up with her own mother since she was a child, and if she wasn't tough, she would be bullied, and she had never been so close to anyone other than her mother, let alone being held by a man, which made her a little overwhelmed.
Secretly looking from the bottom up, looking at the sharp edges and corners of his face and focused eyes, Ai Ruo's face turned red suddenly, although she wanted to struggle to walk by herself, but the night demon's spiritual attack on her just now was too powerful, and the wave of fear like a tide made her unable to use her strength so far, if it wasn't for Wen Wen sacrificing her life to save herself, it is estimated that she might already be a cold corpse by now.
Wen Wen didn't know these little Jiujiu in Ai Ruo's heart, all his attention was on the night demon not far away, and as the torch that was thrown out earlier gradually went out, the night demon also slowly walked out of the shadows.
From his cold eyes, Gentle could clearly feel his anger, and at this moment, Gentle also understood that the one he and Iroh had encountered was not the terrible Night Stalker Barana, it seemed that this was just an ordinary Night Demon, didn't it mean that these ghosts were extinct?
Even if it's not the Night Stalker, it doesn't mean that Gentle can easily deal with this guy, and the Iroh in his arms still doesn't look like he's relieved, he is afraid of being suddenly attacked by the Night Demon on the other side, so he doesn't dare to let go of Iroh.
Luckily, Iroh is light, not quite what was mildly predicted.
The angry Night Demon slowly walked forward, walked to the branch that had previously emitted light and heat, and with a "click", he stepped on the dead branch that was still burning with embers, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes, judging from the actions of the enemy in front of him just now, he was only afraid of light, not heat.
But judging from the current situation, as long as he and Ai Ruo stay by this glowing fire, this damn night demon doesn't seem to have much to do with them, as long as the fire is not extinguished, as soon as the day dawns, under the sunlight that shines on everything, this night demon itself will disappear.
Of course, provided that the fire is not extinguished.
Thinking of this, Wen Wen couldn't help but sneak a glance at the fire beside him.
As if in response to him, the fire that had been burning for half the night tried to leap out a few small flames, which became even darker, and the night demon not far away was like a shadow behind the light, moving forward step by step with the attenuating firelight.
Wen Wen couldn't help but curse in his heart, he knew that he should have added more firewood last night, but then again, the previous few days were safe and sound, who would have thought that tonight he would not know from which horn such a terrible thing would pop out.
Gentle didn't dare to slack off, quickly put Ai Ruo in his arms on the edge of the fire, stretched out his hand to touch the open space on the side, almost all the dead branches he picked up at night were filled in, looking at the "fish that slipped through the net" in his hand, and his face was anxious.
That's not enough!
The eastern horizon only showed a light white color, although I don't know the specific time, but it is obviously still a long distance from the time of sunrise, if you don't hurry up to find a way, when the fire is extinguished, it will be the time when the two of them die!
The Night Demon also seems to have discovered this, the light is extremely lethal for a pure nocturnal creature like him, he is still very weak, and he can't resist the burns of the light at all, but the two prey in front of him seem to be about to lose the protection of the "light", which makes him feel extremely excited, because a grand slaughter is about to be revealed in front of him.
"Huhuhuhuhu......"
The Daredevil in the shadows opened his mouth, no, or rather the mouthparts were more secure, for no one's mouth would be split into three pieces, and it was densely covered with countless sharp teeth.
He stared at his prey intently, and the feeling of waiting made him feel very comfortable, because the enemy did not dare to flee from the little limited light, and if they chose to flee, it would be a real suicide.
"Hmm......"
With a low moan, Ai Ruo struggled to get up, she had only temporarily lost her combat strength and had not fainted, so she still knew the current situation very well.
"Are you alright?"
Looking at Ai Ruo, who was staggering and about to fall, Wen Wen quickly helped her, and at the same time, he also had a strong curiosity in his heart, what kind of feeling was it to be able to make Ai Ruo like this?
"I'm fine." Ai Ruo struggled to support her collapsed body, and secretly blamed herself in her heart, this time it was really too careless, but now was not the time to blame herself, she looked at the fire that would be extinguished almost at any time, and whispered, "Is there nothing to burn?" ”
"Seemingly...... Here's what it looks like. ”
Wen Wen couldn't help but smile bitterly, and at this moment, the right hand holding Ai Ruo seemed to suddenly have a sense of touch, feeling a rough scrub, he opened his eyes as if he had just woken up from a dream, stared at Ai Ruo's body, and then looked down at himself.
Ai Ruo, who was a little hairy from the gentle gaze, couldn't help but hug his arm and asked with some doubts, "What are you doing?" ”
"It seems to be ......" gently raised his head, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and whispered, "No, there is nothing to burn at all......
After speaking, he took off the linen jacket on his upper body, his own clothes were barely able to wear because he had avoided the black-striped giant wolf in the forest before, but the jacket had already been scraped and tattered, and now this linen jacket was used as a coat by Ai Ruo to prepare for the cold, after all, the night in the forest was very cold.
And now, this thing seems to be a lifesaver for them.
