Volume 1 The Endless Wilderness Section 94 The Princess
Five days later, the two drove through a large rocky mountainous area for more than 2,000 kilometers, and finally came to the edge of the Black Death Forest.
As far as the eye can see, it is full of towering ancient trees. The branches are luxuriant, layered, like a dome, covering the clouds and the sun.
The forest is dark and deep, with countless roots hanging down. The ground was covered with thick dead leaves, and the exposed roots of the old trees were like thick pythons, twisting and intertwining with each other, with no end in sight.
Between the crevices of the roots of the tree, dark green ferns grew, a handful to the east and a handful to the west. The air was filled with a thin mist of water. The whole jungle has an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.
Since it was impossible to drive in the forest, Chen Xing drove the sand cart into a dense bush, covered it with a large number of dead branches and leaves, and hid it.
Then, the two of them packed their bags and walked into the forest.
It is called the Black Dead Forest because of the mutation of plants and animals due to the effects of intense radiation.
This towering ancient tree, a variant of the banyan tree, is taller and denser, and the canopy can even cover a range of hundreds of meters. Countless dangerous creatures lurk within, ready to strike a deadly blow.
"Are you embarrassed to make a girl carry such a heavy thing?" Carrying a half-human-tall bag, Alia grumbled as she whipped the ferns along her path with her branches. Chen Xing's strength is not high, and her weight-bearing capacity is limited, so the heaviest things are carried by her.
In this regard, Chen Xing had a hint of joy in his heart, and finally let the witch do coolie again. This is a hard condition, even if the other party forces him to carry it, he can't help it. If he really wants to carry it on his back, it is estimated that he will not even be able to straighten his waist.
In addition, the person in charge of opening the way in front is also Aria. The reason is simple, Chen Xing is too fragile and easy to be killed by mutated creatures. Without a guide, the adventure cannot continue. Alia lacks experience in surviving in the jungle and discerning directions, and her eyes are black, and she can't distinguish between southeast and northwest.
"Actually, weakness is not entirely a bad thing......
Chen Xing couldn't help but think that if he let the demon girl know what he was thinking at the moment, he would definitely despise him to the sea.
"Have you seen your parents?" After walking for a while, perhaps out of boredom, Alia suddenly turned around and asked for no reason.
"I'm ......" Chen Xing was stunned for a few seconds before replying, "I'm an orphan, and for as long as I can remember, I've followed an old man, but that old man died when I was seven years old." ”
Actually, Chen Xing has parents. Before the crossing, he was an ordinary clerk, living in a small city with his parents and living an ordinary life.
I don't know, after he left, are the two elders doing well?
It is conceivable that when his only son disappeared, the two old men would search for him all over the world until they could no longer walk......
Thinking of his parents, Chen Xing's gaze became a little dim.
As if sensing the change in his mood, Alia stopped, turned back and said, "Actually, ......"
"I'm the same as you, even though I have parents, but I'm not the same."
Chen Xing wanted to ask why, but he never asked. Because the more you know, the more dangerous it becomes.
Alia glanced at him with disdain and commented, "There is a thief's heart, but there is no thief's courage." ”
Chen Xing smiled helplessly, with a bitter face, and said, "Boss, I am not capable enough and my talent is limited, so I really don't dare to ask too much." ”
"Do you want to be a little ant for the rest of your life?" After saying that, Alia twisted her small waist and walked forward without looking back.
Chen Xing followed, falling into a long silence.
In his last life, he worked as a small clerk with peace of mind, but the result was that he was single to the end of his age. lives in a second-hand house, drives a second-hand car, but can't afford to marry a second-hand wife.
In his previous life, he was a small mercenary with peace of mind, and as a result, he was slapped to death. With such a humiliating death, he really didn't want to come a second time.
In this life, he is a man who is ready to use heroic potions and become a king, how can he be afraid of this little thing if he wants to bind and imprison the demon girl in front of him, press him under him, and listen to her begging for mercy?
Thinking of this, Chen Xing paused proudly, raised his head, and said lightly to Aliya, "Say it, I want to know." ”
"Huh?" Alia seemed a little surprised, her body stiffened, she turned around, and asked, "Did I hear me right?" The incredible expression on her face simply showed the contempt and ridicule in her heart to the extreme.
"Yes!" Chen Xing said angrily. It's rare to be ambitious once, and it's hit right away.
"Yo he~" Alia laughed, "Have you grown~" and her face changed, "But I don't want to say it now." ”
"You!" Chen Xing only felt that the blood in his whole body was surging, and he almost spurted out a mouthful of blood.
"Well, as an encouragement, you can call me ...... later," she elongated her voice and spat out four syllables, "Devil Princess!" With that, she continued to walk forward, without the slightest hint of explanation.
Chen Xing was taken aback, and his heart made waves again. He remembered that in addition to "Golden Witch" and "Thousand Blades Rose", Alia also had a third title - Demon Princess.
The Golden Witch comes from the appearance image, the Thousand Blades Rose is the way of fighting, and the Demon Princess is naturally the identity. In this world, those who can be named "princesses" and widely spread must have royal blood. But as for which royal family, he did not know.
There are three royal families in the Red Continent, there are also a few in the West Continent and the East Continent, and there are a few lost folk families, there are all kinds of them, and there are still about twenty of them.
"Which royal family?" Chen Xing asked.
"I won't tell you~" Alia said with a smile as she turned her head as she walked.
At this moment, she is like an innocent little girl, proudly showing off her identity to others. But Chen Xing knew that this might be the real reason why she was hiding in Orchid Town.
In his memories of the previous life, he had not heard that the Malan royal family had demonic blood. And most royal families advertise themselves as "pure-blooded humans", and even if there are a small number of mixed races, they will not openly admit it. Because it involves the inheritance of human genes. However, due to the strength of the special bloodline, they have to admit their identity and status.
There were once organizations that wanted to exclude and exterminate the half-bloods, but in the face of great power, all ideas were as fragile as tofu dregs. You must know that a king-level powerhouse can wipe a principality off the map by himself. The power to destroy the world is by no means something that can be solved by the number of legions.
In Chen Xing's previous life, he had only seen a lord-level powerhouse attack on the battlefield once. A mecha reinforcement brigade was dismantled in just a few minutes, with heavy casualties. Although the other party was drowned in the sea of people in the end, the impression left on him was no less than that of the abyss archdemon who slapped him to death.
"Roar!"
Between thoughts, a roar resounded through the jungle, shaking the leaves as if it were raining.
Immediately after, a huge black shadow rushed wildly. I saw that it was covered with black hair, and it was extremely strong, and it hit the tree trunks and sawdust around it.
"Be careful, it's a boulder bear!"
At the same time as shouting, Chen Xing swept it with a black table, and the data bar immediately scrolled up.
[Boulder Bear (Elite)]
[HP: 285/285]
[Talents: Bite, Might, Tempered Fur, Berserk (Double Strength)]
[Virus Possible: None]
Chen Xing glanced at the data, and immediately became nervous, it turned out to be an elite-level boulder bear, but he was afraid that the charged shot plus the trio might not be able to penetrate the opponent's defense.
"yes, there's a bear's paw to eat tonight!"
He was thinking about what to do, but when he turned his head, he saw that Alia was screaming happily and rushed forward.
