Chapter 62: The Danger of the Forest
"This is the so-called end of the earth?!" Chu Xiaoxiang looked at a stone tablet not far away and asked incredulously.
Helian Chen smiled, shook his head helplessly, and replied, "Otherwise? We went in the same direction you pointed out, and I listened to you all the way. ”
Chu Xiaoxiang clasped her hands around her chest dissatisfied, saying this, she has to blame her for taking the wrong way, isn't it? She also pointed at it casually, and there are indeed four big characters "The End of the World" written here, which shows that she is still very accurate, but this "End of the World" is a bit ······
Helian Chen didn't blame her, the two of them were very tired along the way, although because of their identity as the regent of Jin Anguo, there was not much obstacle on the way, but some of the fierce beasts in the forest would not know them.
Chu Xiaoxiang walked to the stele, touched the stele with a little disappointment, and sighed: "This end of the world is too sloppy, isn't it teasing us." ”
Helian Chen smiled, this end of the world is not desperate in the real sense, but there is a stream behind this stone monument, the stream is crystal clear, and you can clearly see the fish in the water swimming freely.
Helian Chen stretched out his hand and touched the water, the stream was actually hot, but why were these fish able to swim around, was it his illusion?
"Xiang'er, come over and take a look, something is wrong with this stream." Helian Chen frowned and said to Chu Xiaoxiang behind him.
Chu Xiaoxiang came to the stream, and also reached out to touch the stream, as soon as the finger touched, he suddenly retracted, and exclaimed in surprise: "How is this water hot!" ”
Helian Chen nodded, it didn't seem to be his illusion, the water was indeed hot, but this didn't explain why the fish in the stream could swim around in such hot water.
"Don't you think it's weird?" Helian Chen touched his chin and asked.
Chu Xiaoxiang nodded, got up and looked around, looked down at the fish swimming in the water, only to see those fish swimming in the water, watching them swim to the middle part of the two banks of the stream, suddenly all disappeared, very surprised.
What's the matter, why are the fish all of a sudden gone, Chu Xiaoxiang wanted to reach out and fish it out, only to remember that the water was hot, if this hand was put down, maybe her hand would be gone.
"Ah Chen, have you noticed that these fish are swimming and disappearing." Chu Xiaoxiang said solemnly.
Helian Chen came to Chu Xiaoxiang's side and replied, "I found out, and you see, this stream looks past us, even if those fish have swam to the other half, but we can't see anything. ”
There was an idea in Chu Xiaoxiang's psychology, she stretched out her hand, wanting to reach out to the middle of the stream, Helian Chen, who saw this scene, hurriedly grabbed Chu Xiaoxiang, but before she could say it, the two were directly sucked in by a mysterious force and disappeared in place.
When Helian Chen woke up, he found that they were no longer in the same place, but came to the other side of the stream, he ran to Chu Xiaoxiang's side, held her in his arms, and called softly: "Xiang'er, wake up quickly." ”
Chu Xiaoxiang slowly opened his eyes, rubbed his temples, and asked inexplicably, "Ah Chen, what's the matter?" Where are we? How did we pass out? ”
Helian Chen smiled helplessly and replied, "You have so many questions, which one is better for you to let me answer you first?" ”
Chu Xiaoxiang also laughed, got up and looked around: "What is this place?" It looked like it was a forest, and it wasn't the same place we just was. ”
"This should be the opposite of the place we just stayed, but I didn't think that there were other continents besides ours." Helian Chen stroked the trunk of the tree and said incredulously.
Indeed, they thought that there was only their continent, Chu Xiaoxiang should have thought about it a long time ago, in modern times, even they had other continents at that time, why can't they exist now, they are all the same earth, and many continents are normal, although there are still many phenomena that they can't explain, such as her crossing.
This matter has always been a secret of Chu Xiaoxiang, and he has never told Helian Chen, even if he does, he will not believe it.
"Let's go take a look first, Xiang'er, be careful." Helian Chen took Chu Xiaoxiang's hand, and the two of them walked cautiously to the depths of the forest, although they didn't know how they came over, but since they came, then they should be safe.
Suddenly, Chu Xiaoxiang stopped, looked in a certain direction vigilantly, Helian Chen, who was walking in front, was puzzled, and was about to ask when Chu Xiaoxiang put his finger to his mouth and silenced him.
"If there's movement, don't make a sound." Chu Xiaoxiang looked in that direction and said in a low voice.
Helian Chen frowned, looking at the direction Chu Xiaoxiang was looking, the long sword in his hand was even tighter, ready to fight, and suddenly, a black shadow ran past them.
"Xiang'er, be careful!" Helian Chen exclaimed. The thing was so fast that I couldn't see what it was, only a black shadow.
They didn't dare to let their guard down, frowning for fear that the thing would suddenly pounce on them, and they still hadn't been able to see if it was a human or an animal, which made them very anxious.
At this time, the black animal pounced in the direction of Helian Chen, and Helian Chen, who had reacted, had already been thrown to the ground by him, and the long sword in his hand separated a man and a beast, and because of this, Chu Xiaoxiang was able to better see what kind of animal was in front of him.
The animal looked like a leopard, but it was all black, its eyes were red, and its two fangs were exposed outside its lips, and it pressed against Helian Chen's body with a hideous face.
Chu Xiaoxiang drew his dagger, rushed at the animal, and stabbed it in the eye, and the animal roared in pain, got off Helian Chen's body, and stroked his eyes with his paws in place.
Chu Xiaoxiang helped Helian Chen up, and said breathlessly: "This animal has never been seen before, but it looks a little like a saber-toothed tiger, but the color of its eyes and body does not look like a saber-toothed tiger." ”
"Saber-toothed tiger? What is that? Helian Chen patted the dust on his body and asked puzzled.
Chu Xiaoxiang didn't know how to answer Helian Chen, could it be said that this was an ancient species from a long time ago? She couldn't explain where it came from, anyway, but the animal in front of her wasn't a saber-toothed tiger.
"Anyway, we're going to run first, this animal is fast, we're no match for it at all." Helian Chen took Chu Xiaoxiang's hand and ran forward, regardless of whether the animal would catch up or not, there were too many dangers in the forest, and they couldn't just take it lightly.
They had no idea that it was dangerous to run around in the forest, and in case there was no way out, they probably didn't even have much to do.
Not long after running, Helian Chen found that the black animal had chased after him and did not kill it, because they had no way to guarantee that the animal would not fight back in the situation just now, so they turned around and ran.
Now that the animal had caught up, they had to find a place to hide, and soon the two of them found that they had reached a dead end, and there was only a cliff in front of them, and it was too late to hide.
"What should we do, there's a cliff ahead, are we going to jump off?" Chu Xiaoxiang frowned and asked anxiously.
Helian Chen clenched Chu Xiaoxiang's hand, a little cold sweat oozed from his hands, and the black animal ran in front of them, staring at the two of them deadly.
The red eyes were very frightening, their mouths were wide open, and they were grinning at them, and the dagger that Chu Xiaoxiang inserted into its eyes just now was gone, and there was an eye with blood that was very scary.
Chu Xiaoxiang was holding a dagger in her hand, probably because Chu Xiaoxiang had stabbed it in the eye with her dagger, and when it saw the dagger in her hand, it let out a low roar.
"Xiang'er be careful!" Helian Chen pulled Chu Xiaoxiang behind him and stared at the animal vigilantly, behind them was the cliff, if this animal pounced at this time, I am afraid they would have to fall off the cliff.
The animal hated Chu Xiaoxiang to death now, and suddenly pounced towards Chu Xiaoxiang, and slapped his huge paws towards Chu Xiaoxiang, in order to protect Chu Xiaoxiang, Helian Chen put his back to the animal's paws, and Chu Xiaoxiang was stunned.
The two fell off the cliff like this, even if Helian Chen fell off the cliff, he hugged Chu Xiaoxiang tightly, for fear that she would be hurt a little, the animal was still looking down the cliff on the edge of the cliff, as if looking for Chu Xiaoxiang and Helianchen, and left after looking at it for a long time.
After the two of them rolled down the cliff, they lost consciousness, and they didn't know what was going on, but when Chu Xiaoxiang woke up again, he found that he was no longer under the cliff, but in a luxurious room, his whole body was sore, and he opened his mouth but couldn't speak.
"The princess is awake!" A servant girl dressed in light green ran out happily and said in her mouth.
Princess? What princess, is the princess calling her? It wasn't long before a man dressed in bright yellow walked in, sat down on the edge of the bed, and held her hand.
"Dye, you're finally awake, but what do you feel uncomfortable?" The man's eyes were full of worry and pampering, and he asked with a frown.
Who is this man, she just wants to drink water now, her mouth is dry, and she is particularly uncomfortable: "Water ······"
The man didn't seem to expect her to answer him with such a short word, and with a slight pursing of his lips, the servant girl from the other party said, "Go and pour a glass of water for the princess, and call the imperial doctor by the way!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." The maidservant saluted and ran out, Chu Xiaoxiang was slightly stunned, the man in front of her was actually the emperor, it was too chaotic, she couldn't think at all now, where is Helian Chen?
The man slowly helped Chu Xiaoxiang up, holding Chu Xiaoxiang's soft tightly in his hand, as if he was afraid that she would have another accident, and the doting on his face made Chu Xiaoxiang a little surprised.
