Chapter Ninety-Three: The Dagger
This "he" obviously does not refer to the person who is by her side at this time, Ying Baoyue was slightly stunned when she heard this.
The next moment, her eyes moved slightly, and she whispered, "You are asking...... Katsuki? ”
She understood so quickly, but Li Ji's eyes were a little complicated, but the next moment she looked at the back of Helian Yan who was opening the way in front of her, and the man's gaze returned to the ancient well in an instant, and he said lightly, "Hmm." ”
It's not who else he can say.
"Jiashu's words, you should be waiting for me in Weicheng now," Ying Baoyue smiled as she looked at the rut marks hidden among the fallen leaves on the side of the road.
"Yes," Li Ji replied lightly, "You have an appointment?" ”
"Well, sort of," Ying Baoyue smiled and said, "I think he probably understands." ”
It's not that you can understand, but you will definitely understand. Li Ji's eyes moved slightly, if she hadn't arranged it in advance, that young man would never have left her side.
I see, Weicheng.
Weicheng is the nearest Dongwu town to the gate known as the back gate of the cloud forest, and at the same time, because of the developed commerce, there is an official road leading directly to Ruyang, the capital of Dongwu.
"From the gate, you can reach Weicheng in thirty miles," Li Ji said quietly, "Do you know the road?" ”
"Well," Ying Baoyue said as she walked forward, "Yes." ”
Although Weicheng was commercially developed, the developed trade route was certainly not the one near the Cloud Forest, and she remembered that the road had always been inaccessible.
Although it is inaccessible, now that Ji Jiashu and the others have passed, it has become unimpeded.
"Okay," Li Ji naturally thought of this layer, "There should be no one in ambush on that road now." ”
He quietly glanced at the slightly pale cheeks of the girl beside him.
That boy must have gotten stronger these days.
Nothing is stronger than loss.
However, this thought stirred up the scar in his heart for a moment, and the man took a deep breath.
"What's wrong with you?" When Li Ji was looking at her, Ying Baoyue was also looking at him, frowning slightly, "You ......"
She glanced at Helian Yan, who was opening the road in front of her, "This person said before that you have an old injury, are you okay?" ”
"You can't believe his words," Li Ji instantly calmed down, glanced coldly at the back of the person in front of him, and quickened his pace slightly.
"I don't know under what circumstances you met, and I have no intention of interfering with you," he looked back into Ying Baoyue's eyes, "but there is something I must say about him." ”
"What's wrong with him?" She asked with a slight smile.
"You took off his mask?" Li Ji asked.
Ying Baoyue nodded, "He didn't resist much." ”
She really hasn't been afraid of anything, but this is the only thing that makes people feel at ease.
"This man is dangerous," Li Ji's dark eyes became darker and darker, "anyone can, but he can't." You stay away from him. ”
Ying Baoyue was slightly stunned.
It is true that Li Ji rarely expresses opinions, especially to others, and she remembers that when they first met, she suspected that he was mute.
But at this moment, she did feel the deep jealousy in Li Ji's eyes.
"I see," Ying Baoyue nodded, "I won't deal with him much." ”
"You don't know, he ......" Li Ji's fingertips pierced into his palm, and when he wanted to speak, his eyes were flushed with boundless blood, it was the sea of corpses and blood that the true identity of that young man would bring.
"What the hell happened to him?" Looking at the rare appearance of the man in front of him, Yingyue's eyes condensed slightly.
"It's not something you can say in a few words, it's just that once you leave this forest, you must get out immediately." He paused.
She had intended to do the same, but if she could leave this teenager, she would have left a long time ago.
It's just that in the previous journey, except for the one when the saber-toothed tiger attacked, as the young man's injuries recovered, every time she wanted to leave, she was always faintly stopped by him.
"I'll look for the right time," she smiled as she looked into Li Ji's eyes.
"It's not looking for an opportunity," but Li Ji looked ahead, the dark eyes in the mask were extremely serious, "You wait and run immediately, I will drag him down." ”
Ying hugged the moon and flickered, "You ......"
"I can't kill him, but he can't kill me either," Li Ji said lightly, "You just run forward and don't look back." ”
It was his responsibility to fight this teenager, not her duty.
"But ......," Ying Yue frowned.
But without waiting for her to finish speaking, looking at the crystal clear eyes of the girl beside her, Li Ji quietly added, "I have a personal vendetta with him, this is a matter between us, you don't have to interfere." It's not for you. ”
That's right, it's not for her.
After speaking, without waiting for her to refuse again, Li Ji let go of the wrist he had been holding, and walked to the front slightly faster.
You go forward, don't look back.
Ying Baoyue was slightly stunned and looked at the back of the person in front of her.
He didn't wear a sacrificial robe embroidered with a green dragon, he was just a simple bamboo cloth shirt, and there was still only a straw rope in his bun, but his back, as she had seen it countless times, was always tightened and straightened like pine bamboo. She knew that under those rough clothes were his thin bones and muscles, which did not look as strong as a general, but had extremely tenacious strength.
But it's still too tight.
She quietly quickened her pace and placed her palm on the back of the person in front of her.
Feeling the temperature of his back, Li Ji's shoulder shook slightly.
"What do you do?"
"You're putting too much weight on yourself." She stroked it and said lightly, "If you don't have a high realm, you have to bear everything." ”
He should now be recuperating in Nanchu.
Li Ji's eyes paused in his mask, and the next moment he also said lightly, "Are you qualified to talk about me?" ”
Ying Baoyue didn't speak, just withdrew her hand, looked up at the broken sky in front of her, and whispered, "It's here." ”
Li Ji's eyes were stunned, and he looked ahead and folded the barrier.
At the end of the dense forest, the mountains showed their faces, just like the cliff they had fallen down from before.
A towering mountain cliff appeared in the dense forest ahead, and Helian Yan, who was walking in the forefront, paused, "When I entered the Shimen Pass, I didn't see anyone alive." ”
He looked up at the cliff in front of him and said with a smile, "This is the door closed." ”
Ying Baoyue took a deep breath and looked at the cliff ahead.
Shimen Pass was the exit and entrance to the Cloud Forest, and it was Shiguan that she and Helian Yan fell down together, and after six days of entering the forest, they finally saw another and the last level.
The door closes.
"I didn't expect it only took one day to get to the gate," the three of them climbed up the cliff, Helian Yan stepped on the stones under his feet, looked back at Ying Baoyue and Li Ji and smiled.
"That's when we all recovered from our injuries and walked quickly," Ying Baoyue said lightly, maintaining her inner peace and climbing up the cliff.
One step further, it is necessary to completely leave this cloud.
Leave this forest shrouded in a special magnetic field.
"Really? I think Zhaohua has led this way well," Helian Yan looked at Ying Baoyue beside him, "Did you say that I was right?" Sumire? ”
"Zhao Huajun is naturally more familiar than me," Ying Baoyue said lightly.
"No," Helian Yan, who had climbed the cliff, looked at her, and a smile bloomed on his handsome face, "otherwise I wouldn't know how many times you would take me around this forest." ”
Li Ji, who was set aside by these two people, heard this conversation in the rear, and his heart jumped, and he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"Why should I take you around in circles," Ying Baoyue said with an expression unchanged as she climbed the cliff, and Helian Yan smiled quietly beside her, as if she were just talking in an ordinary conversation.
"Yes," Helian Yan smiled, "after all, staying in this forest is an exhaustion for both of us. I've never seen such a special formation. It can actually weaken the high-level cultivators who are in it. ”
The corner of the young man's mouth smiled and sighed, "With such a large array spread throughout the forest, should it be said that it is worthy of being the fiefdom of that goddess?" ”
Rather than being the Three Great Realms, this is a formation that can trap fierce beasts and high-level cultivators in it.
High-level cultivators who are in the forest will be naturally weakened, and those with malicious intentions will be strangled by the entire forest. In the midst of it, only by temporarily suppressing the beast in the heart can the calm person live.
"It's such a special place." Helian Yan looked at the forest beside him and smiled.
It was also a special experience for him.
"You know what?" He reached out to the earlobe of the girl beside him, "You're more beautiful when you still wear earrings." ”
"Really?" Ying Baoyue stood at the top of the cliff, turned to look at him and smiled.
"What are you doing?" Li Ji stepped forward from the back and reached out to shake Helian Yan's hand that was reaching out to the girl, but he never thought that his hand was held by another hand in mid-air.
"You know what?" Helian Yan looked at the hands of the two of them, "The name Sumire Niang is actually not suitable for you. ”
"Really?" Ying Baoyue looked at him.
A smile bloomed on the young man's handsome face, and he stared into her eyes and muttered, "After all, you are not such a gentle flower at all." ”
"That's right," Ying Baoyue also smiled, turning her head to look at Li Ji behind her.
"You ......" Li Ji, who was shocked by the conversation between the two, was about to speak, but her breath brushed her neck, and she only heard her voice in her ears, "I'm sorry, I'm going to break my promise." ”
"Thank you for coming, Aji."
Li Ji was about to resist, but he stiffened because of the first name of the person in his ear.
Without waiting for him to react, there was a sudden strong force in his chest, and he saw that the person in front of him suddenly stretched out his hand and pushed violently.
Ying Baoyue pushed Li Ji down from the door closed! 166 Reading Network
