Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Dark Forest

The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the twilight is boundless.

The forest was pitch black, and there was hardly any sound to be heard except for the night breeze blowing through the flowers and trees, and the chirping of some birds and insects.

Bingruo was very nervous at this time, although she was very familiar with this forest, but she did not walk in the depths of the dark forest in such a late night with two unarmed people. She smoothed the hair on the back of Kuroko's neck with one hand, and held her mother with the other, walking cautiously. Liang Zhaosheng pushed the cart behind, and Heizi looked around vigilantly, walking on the other side of Bingruo.

With a sound of "sudden", a black shadow flashed not far away, and the three people and one dog were all frightened and stopped. Lu Ping not only took away their hunting tools, but also did not leave them even a single oil lamp or candle, clearly intending to kill them.

Bing Ruo could only roughly distinguish the movement not far away by the faint moonlight. With her previous experience of hunting in the woods, the shadow just now should be a deer animal, nothing to fear.

Bingruo motioned for everyone to move on, but as she walked, she remembered another thing. The direction in which the deer shadow had just fled was not the opposite of the direction of the others, which means that the deer was not frightened by them, so what was the reason for its hasty escape? What frightened it?

Maybe it's a leopard or a tiger, maybe it's a few jackals or a wolf.

Kuroko leaned down, bared his sharp canine teeth, and let out a low warning sound of "...... "woo", and Bingruo knew that he had spotted the danger.

Helplessly, there was no weapon in his hand, Bingruo was covered with cold sweat, and he only felt that his group was like meat on a chopping board, waiting to be cut into slices and chopped into meat sauce at any time.

Sure enough, after walking forward for a while, two yellow and faint lanterns flashed not far away, and Bingruo recognized them at a glance, they were a pair of leopard eyes, staring at them fiercely.

If she usually carries weapons and sunspots, Bingruo is not particularly afraid, and she and Kuroko have also cooperated to kill leopards before. But now, there are still frail parents to protect, and there is not even a blade around, which is really dangerous and anxious.

Bingruo was so nervous that she panicked, and she calmly gestured to everyone to stop again. The Liang couple also gradually reacted, concentrating and breathing, trying to reduce the sound of breathing.

The leopard in front of it let out a low roar, as if it was about to attack, how could this be good!?

"Woooo

After all, the leopard's physique is several times that of a hunting dog, and if it were to be replaced by another hunting dog, it would have been torn apart by the leopard a long time ago. But Kuroko is different, he is more than one or two times more brave than other hounds, and he can be evenly matched with the leopard.

But if this continues, Kuroko will definitely suffer, after all, he is a dog, and the opponent is a beast with a length of nearly two meters!

Liang Tian sobbed, and Liang Zhaosheng took her into his arms and stroked her back one by one.

Bingruo stroked his forehead with one hand and pondered, looking around with a pair of big eyes, trying to see if he could find an object that could be used as a weapon, and suddenly found that there seemed to be a long thing in the grass not far away, glowing with a faint silver light in the faint moonlight.

Bingruo hurriedly ran over to clear the grass and was overjoyed when he saw the object, it was actually a sharp sword!

The Buddha blessed the heavens with mercy, Bingruo picked up the sword and quickly rushed to the two who were fighting, and found an opportunity to stab the sword directly into the back of the leopard. The blood spurting from the leopard's back also poured Bingruo's face, and a gray cloth dress was dyed red in an instant.

Kuroko seems to have been injured too, Bing Ruo hurriedly helped him check, fortunately, Kuroko moved quickly, dodged many fatal attacks, and now although he was covered with scaly wounds, they were not very serious skin injuries, according to Bing Ruo's previous observation experience, he could heal these injuries in two days.

The three of them and one dog calmed down and prepared to move on. It is also dangerous to stay in the depths of this dark forest for a minute longer, even if they stop and wait for daylight before leaving, they will still be attacked by wild beasts, so they simply hurry up and hurry, maybe they will be able to get out of the forest in a few days.

Lu Ping took away their horses, and if they had ridden or taken a carriage, they would have been out of the woods in almost a night, and now they would have to walk for days on foot with a cart.

Just after walking a few steps, Bingruo suddenly tripped over something soft and hard, and when he looked closely, he was an unconscious person!

Presumably this is the owner of the sword, his face is covered with dust, he can't see clearly, his body is long, the clothes he wears don't look like the villagers of Orion Village, and he also wears a high hat, which at first glance looks a bit like a person from the government.

Bingruo squatted beside this person, probed his snort, he was still alive, and shook him hard, but there was no response. Bing Ruo was afraid of attracting wild beasts, so he didn't dare to call him loudly, so he shook his head helplessly, and said softly: "Brother Tai, if you use a cart to push such a heavy body, we are afraid that we will have to walk more slowly." It's hard to protect yourself, I can't save you, so you can ask for more blessings. ”

Then, Bingruo picked up the sword, took Kuroko and his father and mother on the road, and said secretly in his heart, anyway, you have fainted, and it is a waste to leave this sword here, it is better to let me take it away. If you wake up and encounter an accident because you don't have a weapon, then you will repay this kindness in the next life, after all, we have four lives here, and you only have one there......

But after not taking a few steps, Bingruo had another thought, if this person died soon, it would be too wasteful.

If you take him now, and then he dies, you can chop him into several pieces with your sword, and if you encounter a beast that cannot be defeated in front of you, throw an arm or leg or head at it, and it will certainly not be entangled with those living people, and then it will encounter other beasts, or you can throw another piece of it according to the gourd and another part of it, so that a few of them will be much safer.

Thinking of this, she gestured to her father, and Liang Zhao cooperated with her to move the man to the cart with her. Then, Bingruo and Liang Zhaosheng pushed the cart forward one after the other.

After walking for a while, the father and daughter of the cart were exhausted, Bingruo stopped, and went to probe the snort of the person in the cart, hey, why haven't you lost your breath yet?

After resting for a while, he was about to continue walking, when he suddenly found that there seemed to be a scorching fire in the distance.

After looking at it for a while, Bingruo reacted that it was a lot of people holding torches, and there was a faint shout in the distance, as if shouting "where are you", Bingruo looked at the unconscious high hat on the board car, and was overjoyed, presumably those who were holding torches were looking for this person.

Bingruo shouted in the direction of the firelight in the distance, "Hey, the person you're looking for is here!"

But though she could see the fire, the crowd was far away from her, and it was so loud that no one could hear her cry.

Seeing the firelight drifting in the opposite direction, Bingruo was anxious and patted Kuroko's head, Kuroko knew that she meant to let him stay here to protect his family, and then she made a gesture to her father and mother who were waiting here, and rushed away in the direction of the firelight with her sword......
