Mountains and forests in distress (3)
Ling Xiao had been on the road for two days, and there were a lot of blisters on his feet. The twilight was deep, the four fields were deserted, silent and dark, and the chirping of owls in the distance was intermittent. Outside the ancient road, the grass and trees were thick, the insects were singing, and a bonfire was lit next to the ancient road.
Bonfires burn brightly, and sparks fly, illuminating the surroundings. Ling Xiao sat far away, took off her shoes and socks by the firelight, and sprinkled some medicinal powder on the scars, so painful that she couldn't help frowning. The abrasions on my feet have not healed yet, and now I have some blisters, which can be described as adding to the injury.
After filling her stomach with the pheasant caught by the black spirit python, Ling Xiao lay on the soft green grass with the black spirit python's body on her pillow, and she felt exhausted.
She closed her eyes and lay down for a moment, but found that she was not sleepy, her eyes were half-opened weakly, and a crescent moon turned west, and she stared at the starry night sky and fell into memory. remembered the scene when Lu Jingxing took her to Huizhou thousands of miles away, it was also a sunny summer night, the starry sky that night seemed to be even brighter than tonight, in the hazy moonlight, Lu Jingxing accompanied her to see a brilliant firefly, as if it happened last night.
"Jing Xing, where are you?" Ling Xiao whispered to herself, this was a call from her heart, and she felt a faint loneliness in her heart, and at the same time felt helplessness and loneliness that she had never felt before. In the past, she may not have thought that she would have such emotions in her heart one day, which did not belong to her. People who are tough and indifferent in their hearts should not be affected by the external environment.
The light of the fire gradually dimmed, and eventually, a wisp of wind swept by, and even the last flame on the scorched wood was extinguished, leaving a pile of red carbon fire, and the unburned scorched wood emitted wisps of green smoke. The environment was quiet, and the black spirit python kept its head on its body motionless, as if it had fallen asleep. Ling Xiao thought a lot, his head gradually became heavy, and he was drowsy.
However, just when Ling Xiao relaxed and was about to fall asleep, in the confusion of consciousness, there seemed to be a gentle footstep sound in his ears, squirming, becoming clearer and clearer. She was excited, opened her eyes in an instant, and her sleepiness was scattered.
The footsteps were soft, rustling on the grass, with caution and caution. Ling Xiao tensed her nerves, and although she didn't get up, she had roughly estimated from the footsteps that there should be more than ten people on the other side, and they were outflanking her. She slowly reached out a hand, fumbling for the iron sword she had placed beside her.
This iron sword was bought by the shopkeeper when she was leaving the town. Although her strength is now blocked, it is still not a problem to use swordsmanship to deal with a few small minions. It's just that now her body is too weak, maybe even a few little minions are difficult to deal with, but she won't sit still, just wait for death like this, she will fight hard no matter what, and there is a black spirit python by her side.
At this time, the black spirit python also moved, and at the same time, Ling Xiao found that the footsteps became urgent, and many parties should have also noticed that the black spirit python might have woken up, so they no longer deliberately covered it up, but began to let go of their hands and feet, and accelerated the speed of their hands, so as not to miss the opportunity to assassinate.
Ling Xiao held the hilt of his sword tightly, took a deep breath, and then quickly turned over and sat up, facing a silver-white sword shadow. And in the dim moonlight, several other hazy afterimages also attacked her at the same time, bringing a cool breeze.
"Dang!" Ling Xiao quickly picked up the sword and swung it in front of him, the two swords collided and let out a crisp trill, and the sword shadow that was aimed at Ling Xiao's neck instantly shifted its trajectory, pounced into the clearing, and finally embedded itself in the soil.
One person swooped into the air, and the rest were already close in front of him. At this moment, the black spirit python suddenly stood up with a huge body, opened its mouth and took a bite, and instantly bit the blurred figure that was unprepared for a while and separated its head, spraying blood.
The others were shocked, but only stopped for a moment, and then did not hesitate to kill the target.
Ling Xiao had quickly stood up, and was soon besieged in the center by five or six people, while the others were working together to deal with Hei Lingmang. Ling Xiao didn't care if he could defeat these killers or not, he was just fighting back with all his might. She won't admit defeat so easily and let others slaughter her.
The night wind filled the air with the smell of blood, the weeds littered with corpses, and the faint coals were kicked everywhere. After a difficult confrontation, although Hei Lingmang had eliminated several people, he had not been able to bargain much, and his combat power was far less than when he first met Ling Xiao.
Over the years, it has been wounded many times, but not a single wound has healed. Now the new injuries are combined with the old ones, and the physical condition has become seriously problematic.
And the situation that Ling Xiao is facing at this moment is even worse, those people are ruthless and ruthless, her body has been scratched by the sword blade in many places, and finally her physical strength is exhausted, and she is paralyzed on the ground and difficult to get up.
Ling Xiao propped her hands on the ground, staring at the palm that was about to hit her chest, her eyes cold, but without a trace of fear. The palm wind swept in an instant, blowing her clothes trembling and moving.
She thought that maybe she was doomed tonight, she didn't have the fear of death in her heart, but she did have endless anger at these killers. Judging from the force alone, these people are all medium masters, and it is impossible for them to be those minions sent by Feitou Cliff. Otherwise, she wouldn't have dealt with it so passively, and those people who flew through the cliff could solve it with Black Lingmang alone.
However, just when the palm with domineering internal force hit Ling Xiao's chest, it touched a flat hard object, and the man felt that the palm of his hand was violently slammed into a huge air current, instantly rushing into the tendons and veins on his arm, and the severe swelling pain in his arm instantly transmitted to his brain.
"Ahh With a scream, the man's entire body flew sideways. In the end, he was injured by the internal force he had struck out, and he fell heavily to the ground, spitting blood from his mouth.
When the others saw this, their expressions were stagnant, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time, how could this woman have such internal strength? No, strangely, if this is the case, how can the combat power be so weak?
Ling Xiao himself was surprised, and hurriedly raised his hand to probe at the position just now, and was shocked, Kun bone mirror? That's the real way to defend yourself with it, right? It is unheard of to be able to rebound internal forces.
At this moment, Ling Xiao thought of a lot. Presumably, this is the real purpose of Yan Ling Chu handing over the Kun Bone Mirror to her, and it is by no means a simple royal beast, it is estimated that even Yan Ling Chu herself did not expect that she would recover the Black Spirit Mang with the help of the Kun Bone Mirror.
Just when those killers were stunned, a figure carrying the wind to cut through a few rays of moonlight flew from afar, and the next moment it blocked in front of Ling Xiao, and the shot was decisive and neat, and the sword shadows that stabbed towards Ling Xiao were rolled up with wide sleeves, and at the same time, the internal force in the palm was knocked out, and the wind hunted.
"Ahh
Several screams of pain rang out almost simultaneously, piercing the silent night sky, and several figures were shaken out, blood spraying from their mouths and screaming on the ground.
The suddenly arrived figure withdrew his hand and leaned over to help Ling Xiao up.
"Is that you?" Ling Xiao raised his eyes and looked at it, and when he saw that face clearly with the help of the hazy moonlight, his flat gaze was stunned, and he was very surprised, it was actually the young master who flew through the cliff.
That day, Ling Xiao had seen a different kind of emotional expression in his eyes, and until now, she is still puzzled. Was he taking pity on her? But why?
Gu Minluo helped Ling Xiao to sit down on the ground, did not answer her words, turned away, and faced the figures who had been killed. In just a few moments, he had eliminated everyone here, dead and wounded, and none of them had the ability to escape.
Of course, four of them died under the bloody mouth of the black spirit. If it was under the heyday of the Black Spirit's reckless combat power, then there would be more than four people who died in its mouth.
Gu Minluo didn't care about the seriously injured and dying people, and squatted down beside Ling Xiao, and said calmly: "How is the injury? ”
"It's okay, thank you for coming to the rescue." Ling Xiao's tone was flat, and he glanced at Gu Minluo, his face was calm, and the night was a little blurry.
Gu Minluo didn't say anything, got up and began to go to the edge of the forest to collect dry firewood.
It didn't take long for a blazing fire to ignite again beside the ancient road, but the location changed, away from the place where the fight had just taken place.
Ling Xiao took out the medicinal powder by the light of the fire, and sprinkled the medicinal powder directly on the wound through the torn clothing. Gu Minluo is here, although her mind is filled with modern thoughts, but in front of a man, it is not easy to directly roll up her sleeves and take medicine.
The flames jumped, and the seven or eight corpses in the distance lay on the blood-stained ground, clearly visible from the afterglow of the flames. Ling Xiao glanced coldly at the people who were still dying, and did not ask who instructed them.
The truth was revealed, and Ling Xiao had a certain impression of a woman who was bitten to death by Hei Lingmang, who was the doorman of Qianmin Villa. It doesn't take much thought to know who is behind this.
Ling Xiao didn't want to pursue it now, and once he was investigated one day, Qianmin Villa would wait to change owners.
These people actually found Ling Xiao's traces as early as noon today, but they were afraid of the black spirit and didn't dare to do it for a while, so they followed all the way, planning to relax their vigilance and do it again while they were asleep at night.
Now that Ling Xiao had changed his clothes, these people didn't recognize them at first, but it was also because of the existence of the black spirit, which convinced them that it was the person their owner ordered to kill.
At first, they were also quite jealous of Ling Xiao's martial arts, but after following and observing all the way, they found an abnormality, and determined that both Ling Xiao and Hei Lingmang had problems with their bodies, and their injuries were serious, and this was a good time to start.
They think that they have no grievances with Ling Xiao, and such an act is really despicable. But the master's order is difficult to disobey, and in loyalty, they choose loyalty, and they absolutely have to obey the master's order.
Gu Minluo and Ling Xiao sat opposite each other from a distance, with the bonfire in between. After Ling Xiao finished taking the medicine, he summoned the black spirit mang, and there were many wounds on its body, both old and new, which were extremely abrupt on the black and smooth body.
