Chapter 271: Fear of heights

He clutched the place where he had been hit with one hand, and couldn't help but tilt his head to look at a large tree beside him.

Blood flowed into the corners of his eyes, and he reached out to wipe it.

The towering ancient tree had thick branches and lush foliage, and it did not notice anything unusual except for the occasional drop of water dripping from the tree.

Retracting his scarlet eyes, he stared at the stone that had fallen in front of his heels.

Why did this stone fall from the sky?

"Your Royal Highness, you are not lightly injured, why don't you go back to the Imperial Doctor first to take a look at you?" Qin Tong saw that the blood was constantly flowing down from Ling Yuan's forehead to his cheeks, and he looked very anxious and worried.

I don't care about thinking about anything else.

"This king can't die yet!" Ling Yuan's gaze tightened, even though he was angry in his heart, the pain in the injured place was clear at the moment, and his expression looked hideous.

When you are angry, the dull pain pierces your heart.

He bared his teeth in pain.

At this time, I suddenly realized that the sound of fighting in the distance seemed to stop.

He twisted his expression and raised his eyes to look in that direction, only a few people were left in Ling Juncheng, and the rest of the people in black had all been killed.

At this time, I want to do it again, but I am no longer sure of success.

"Withdraw!"

Holding back all the unwillingness in his heart, he brushed his sleeves and turned away.

Qin Tong and the others followed his footsteps, and a few figures quickly disappeared into the night with him.

After the thick trunk of the towering ancient tree, Su Xi completely submerged her delicate body, and the light on the rainy night was dim and unclear, after she threw a stone at Ling Yuan, she successfully retreated.

Seeing Ling Yuan and the others walking away until they were completely out of sight, she finally poked out half of her head from behind the branches.

Seeing that Ling Juncheng's side seemed to have all those assassins settled, she was relieved and prepared to go down the tree.

However, as soon as she glanced towards the ground, her delicate little face changed color in an instant.

It's okay not to look down, but when she looks down, she almost fell directly under unstable feet, but fortunately, when her legs were weak, she quickly hugged the branch, otherwise, she would either be killed or half dead.

After a visual inspection, he was now more than six meters above the ground.

The heartbeat is no longer its own.

Only then did she remember that the biggest problem she had never been able to overcome was her fear of heights.

I swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and my body was so stiff that I couldn't move at all.

Damn, I didn't think it was so tall when I climbed up just now.

I can't help but feel that I am still impulsive.

The desperate little eyes involuntarily looked in the direction of the fight just now.

Hey, why is Ling Juncheng the only one left there? And what about those heroes?

He seemed to be leaning over to examine the bodies.

Su Xi blushed and wanted to send him a distress signal, but she didn't want him to know that she was also here tonight.

After all, he didn't intend to have anything to do with him from the beginning.

All because he didn't dare to let him die before himself.

Easing her nerves, she convinced herself to try to descend the tree slowly.

I closed my eyes and adjusted my breathing, but I couldn't let go of the hands that were clinging to the branches.

If you loosen it a little, your legs will tremble uncontrollably, and your body will become stiff uncontrollably.

Su Xi didn't dare to look down at this moment, even if he closed his eyes, his fear increased.

When he opened his eyes and looked in the direction where Ling Juncheng was, it was already empty.

Su Xi was desperate in an instant.

"Who's going to save me!"

When she didn't catch the white figure in her eyes, fear instantly surged towards her like a tide.

In the quiet of the night, her breathing could be heard rapidly.
