Chapter 44: The Forbidden Forest

"I want to go to the Forbidden Forest, do you know where it is?" asked Han Xiaoyi, her tone full of excitement and anticipation.

"Forbidden Forest?" Lu Ling opened his mouth wide in surprise, "What are you doing in the Forbidden Forest?"

Han Xiaoyi blinked her eyes widely: "I heard that there are many strange beasts there, so I've always wanted to go and see them." ”

Lu Ling hesitated with an embarrassed expression, he had learned about the existence of the Forbidden Forest from Tan Yu and the others before, and he had also heard that it was banned by the royal family because of the danger, and ordinary people could not enter it at all.

"But I've heard it's dangerous, do you really want to go?" he asked.

The girl nodded vigorously, not at all intend to back down.

Perhaps because he didn't want to dye that beautiful face with a disappointing color, Lu Ling secretly gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll take you there." ”

"Would you like to come with me, thank you so much!" The girl's surprised smile made the surrounding moonlight seem to dim a little, Lu Ling glanced to the side, and tapped his head helplessly, even he didn't know why he made such a decision, maybe he just didn't want the girl to face the unknown dangers in the Forbidden Forest alone.

Who knew that Han Xiaoyi suddenly stood up and patted the snow-white skirt: "Let's go now!"

"Ah, are you sure?it's so late......" Lu Ling raised his eyebrows, in his opinion, what is the difference between that kind of behavior and looking for death in the middle of the night? What's more, he can sense that the girl's strength is also around the middle of the early opening realm, and any alien beast like the Flame Crystal Python is enough to easily kill them.

Han Xiaoyi blinked and thought about it, then squatted down again, dragged her white and sharp chin with her little hand, and muttered, "It seems to be Yay......"

Lu Ling breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that she finally realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Maybe they're all asleep by now. However, the girl's innocent murmur almost made Lu Ling breathless, and her gaze at Han Xiaoyi became more and more strange.

The "they" in the girl's mouth should be those strange beasts, and it can be seen that she really likes them.

"Then let's go tomorrow morning. Han Xiaoyi said with a smile.

Lu Ling let out an "um" and fell silent. After a few minutes in this strange atmosphere, he furrowed his eyebrows and looked at Han Xiaoyi, who was still squatting aside, with some confusion, and the girl was shaking her little head and observing the Yanjing python hovering beside Lu Ling with relish.

"What's wrong?" Sensing Lu Ling's gaze, Han Xiaoyi raised his head and asked. The two blinked and looked at each other for a few seconds before Lu Ling scratched his head and asked tentatively, "Why don't you ...... You're going back first?"

Han Xiaoyi was stunned for a moment, and then covered her pretty face with her little hand and exclaimed. She hadn't forgotten that she had sneaked out without anyone, and those Blood Demon Envoys must have already started searching for her traces by now, and if she went back now, the elders would definitely control her strictly, and it would be very difficult to escape at that time.

"Can I stay at your house for one night......? I don't want to go home......" Han Xiaoyi clasped her hands together, revealing a pitiful expression, but anyone could see the smart and cunning light from her beautiful eyes.

Lu Ling was no longer able to complain, and he smiled helplessly again......

Late at night, Han Xiaoyi lay on a small wooden bed, alone in a foreign land, free from the control of the elders, an experience that a princess girl had never experienced, and this wonderful excitement made it difficult for her to sleep.

She turned to the side slightly, looking at Lu Ling who was sleeping peacefully on the floor with his back to her, the elemental fluctuations on the young man's body were obviously only in the middle of the Yunqi Realm, but being able to live alone in the back mountain of the Immortal Spirit Palace was enough to show that he had an extraordinary status.

This also made the girl more and more curious about Lu Ling's identity.

However, she didn't realize that Lu Ling was actually unable to sleep because of the sudden arrival of this mysterious girl, and complex emotions lingered in the young man's heart.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

......

The sun shone on Lu Ling's face, and he sat up in a daze, tilting his head to look in the direction of the wooden bed, where there were only neatly stacked bedding.

He walked out of the wooden house and saw Han Xiaoyi sitting on the boulder where he usually cultivated, looking softly at the Holy Spirit Heavenly Capital, which was already in full swing early in the morning.

But when Lu Ling appeared, the soft smile on Han Xiaoyi's face suddenly became excited, and she couldn't wait to say, "Let's go to the Forbidden Forest!"

"Good, good. Facing the impatient girl, Lu Ling responded a few times in a row, and soon got ready to go.

Not long after the two of them left the wooden house, a white figure fell from the sky and fell outside the door.

Jiuye put away the wings behind her back, and sweat slid down her pretty face.

"Lu Ling......"

At this time, there was no figure of Lu Ling in the wooden house, if it was usual, it was normal for him to go out according to his own wishes, however, at this point in time, he was extremely sensitive.

Because last night, the little princess of the Blood Demon Clan suddenly disappeared, and in order to find her, the palace has become a mess, and the envoys of the Blood Demon Clan are so anxious that they even temporarily give up the trip to buy the holy medicine and sell the goods.

Because the guards at the various exits of the palace did not find any sign of the little princess leaving the palace, the blood demon envoys made requests to the fairy royal family to search the entire palace.

After negotiations between the elders of the two clans, the blood demons finally got their go-ahead, and accompanied by the fairy guards, searched for the missing little princess in the palace.

However, this did not rule out the possibility that the Blood Demon Clan wanted to take the opportunity to search for the Source Demon Body at the same time, so for the sake of insurance, Elder Mu Yong of the Immortal Spirit Royal Family assigned Jiu Ye early in the morning to determine Lu Ling's situation.

However, Lu Ling was now nowhere to be found, and Jiu Ye suddenly panicked, and his heartbeat unconsciously became violent.

She immediately spread her wings and soared into the air, heading towards the depths of the palace, where she had to report the matter to the elders as soon as possible.

And Lu Ling, who was still in the dark, was walking on the path leading to the foot of the mountain, and Han Xiaoyi followed him briskly.

Although he had taken the path around the outside of the palace when he passed through the Forbidden Forest before, after this period of familiarity, Lu Ling naturally would not let the embarrassing situation of getting lost happen.

About twenty minutes later, the two of them followed the path behind the mountain to the foot of the mountain, and a huge wooden fence lay in front of them, carved with dense strange patterns, and the dim light was filled with terrifying fluctuations.

The height of the fence was less than ten meters, and Lu Ling couldn't help but have questions, he muttered, "If you can fly, isn't this fence meaningless?"

I don't know if I misunderstood Lu Ling's words, Han Xiaoyi was suddenly a little nervous, and even her tone was a little flustered: "Ah, you, did you mean to fly over?"

Lu Ling's eyes were erratic and he laughed dryly: "Let's find the entrance first, maybe there is some mechanism that can't be flipped over." ”

Of course, this was just Lu Ling's nonsense, but the girl didn't notice Lu Ling's weakness, and she nodded vigorously in agreement.

They both thought that each other was a fairy with wings, and at the same time they were afraid that their true identities under their disguise would be exposed, and at this time, the two of them finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

So they quickly found the gate of the Forbidden Forest along the fence, but to Lu Ling's surprise, there was no half of the guards at the door, he naturally didn't know that in order to find the little princess of the Blood Demon Clan, the royal family, which was in dire need of manpower, mobilized all the idle guards, and those guards thought that almost no one in the Forbidden Forest could relax their vigilance on weekdays, but they must not have imagined that Lu Ling and Han Xiaoyi took the opportunity to take advantage of the loophole at this time.

Let's just think that when I was lucky enough to run into the guards leaving their posts, I hope I won't be punished later.

Lu Ling thought like this, and after looking around to make sure that there was no one around, he pushed open the huge wooden door with all his might.

A dense forest appeared before the two of them, and the foliage blocked out any rays of sunlight that tried to pass through the leaves, making the forest look dark and cold even in the hot sun.

Lu Ling immediately became vigilant, but Han Xiaoyi's eyes lit up even more excitedly, she walked quickly towards the interior of the forest, and turned around and winked at Lu Ling with a smile: "If there is danger, I will protect you, don't look at me like this, I am actually very strong!"

Lu Ling couldn't help but grin bitterly, he was really embarrassed to be underestimated by a girl who was obviously younger than himself! But if he used his demonic energy, Lu Ling's strength would not necessarily lag behind her.

"Lu Ling, look!" The girl's crisp voice attracted Lu Ling's gaze, and Han Xiaoyi pointed to the trunk of a thick tree with a happy face.

There were several narrow cracks about an inch wide on it, which almost cut the entire tree at the waist, and the bark was completely penetrated, even the yellow-white stems were exposed.

Seeing this, Lu Ling couldn't get excited.

"Maybe there's a big guy nearby. Han Xiaoyi said, but her carefree appearance made Lu Ling's heart furious.

He stroked the shocking crack on the trunk of the tree, and said with a smile: "This big guy doesn't seem to be gentle......

Han Xiaoyi didn't reply, she sighed lightly, looked down at the ground, and Lu Ling also lowered her head.

A huge shadow was hanging over the two of them.

The two of them turned their heads at the same time, and what appeared in front of them was a huge grizzly bear that was several meters tall, with bamboo skewer-like hair glowing with coldness, and there were four pale yellow light stripes symmetrically distributed on the giant bear's chest, and heavy earth elements overflowed from the light stripes.

The grizzly bear's bloody mouth was covered with sharp fangs, and the pair of thick bear paws, exaggerated claws thicker than the arms, easily reminiscent of cracks in the trunk of a tree.

The ferocious beast's eyes cast a ghostly glow, and it looked at the two of them with a gaze that looked at the delicious food.

Facing the huge grizzly bear that suddenly appeared in front of them, Lu Ling and Han Xiaoyi's faces suddenly changed.

It's just that Lu Ling's face was full of horror, while Han Xiaoyi's pretty face was only surprised.
