Lu Zhaoling looked carefully to the east for a while, and found a little blood dripping from the lin.

Her heart tightened.

Ann Nian ......

Lu Zhaoling quickened his pace, following the bloodstains that stretched all the way to the depths of the jungle.

After walking for a while, the blood dripping on the ground stopped halfway, and was replaced by a pool of blood splashed on the trunk of a nearby tree.

Lu Zhaoling looked straight at the pool of blood, his hands gradually clenched, and his breathing became more and more rapid.

She took a deep breath and walked slowly behind the tree.

The grass behind the tree had been crushed by something, and there was a trail of blood on the ground.

Lu Zhaoling's heart was beating wildly.

She drew her cutlass and her eyes reddened, staring intently ahead, moving forward step by step.

The trailing bloodstain came to rest beside a swamp.

Lu Zhaoling stood in front of the swamp and looked deeply at the rich black.

"Meow-meow-"

A cat's meow suddenly came from the jungle on the side, and Hua limped out.

"Flower ......" Lu Zhaoling hurriedly stepped forward to pick it up, "Are you injured?" ”

One of Hana's hind legs bends unnaturally, and her breathing is heavy.

"Meow-meow-" Hua was in Lu Zhaoling's arms, struggling to stretch her neck in the direction of the swamp.

What's in the swamp?

Lu Zhaoling had a guess in her heart, but she didn't want to believe it.

She took a few more steps closer to the swamp with the flower in her arms, and crouched down along the edge.

"Meow ——!!" Hua struggled even harder, and seemed to want to jump into the swamp

Lu Zhaoling gritted his teeth.

She gently placed the flower under a tree, cut off a long thick branch from the tree, returned to the edge of the swamp, and inserted the branch into the swamp Zheng This swamp is not deep, Lu Zhaoling easily touched the phosphorus, and stirred it vigorously for a while.

The branch in his hand clearly touched something.

The thing with an irregular shape is slightly soft to the touch

Lu Zhaoling paused in his hand.

She didn't want to admit the speculation in her mind.

Lu Zhaoling clenched the branch and froze in place stiffly, waiting for a while.

Not far away, the flower anxiously "meowed" twice.

Lu Zhaoling gritted his teeth and slowly picked up the thing he had just touched with that thick branch.

It didn't take much effort for her to get things out of the swamp.

Although it was full of mud, Lu Zhaoling could also recognize it at a glance.

It's the year of Ann.

Lu Zhaoling put An Nian on the ground with some sluggishness and looked at him quietly.

A suffocating despair welled up in my heart.

Hua limped over and meowed, licking An Nian's mud-stained face.

Lu Zhaoling stood aside for a long time, unable to act.

She stared blankly at the lifeless body on the ground.

Lu Zhaoling stood for a long time.

Until Shen Fengjiu took Ah Li and found her by the swamp.

Shen Fengjiu glanced at An Nian on the ground lightly.

Ah Li was a little surprised, but when he saw Lu Zhaoling's appearance, he didn't dare to speak out for a while.

Shen Fengjiu stood beside Lu Zhaoling for a while, and then opened his mouth and called: "Zhaoling." ”

Lu Zhaoling stayed for a while before slowly looking at Shen Fengjiu: "It's my fault, right?" It's all my fault...... It's all my ......."

"It's not your fault." Shen Fengjiu said softly.

"It's my fault! It's all because I didn't take a good look at him, knowing that there was an unknown danger in this mountain, but I let him stay outside by himself! How else could this happen?! It's all my fault!! It's all my fault!! Lu Zhaoling suddenly shouted hysterically. She held her head and cried bitterly.

"Then blame me."

Shen Fengjiu reached out and grabbed Lu Zhaoling's wrist, pulled her over, and took her into Huai Zheng

Lu Zhaoling's head was buried in Shen Fengjiu's chest, and he felt Shen Fengjiu gently caressing her hair.

"Blame me, Zhao Ling. It's that I don't perceive the enemy. I'm going to talk to you alone. Shen Fengjiu said in a deep voice.

Lu Zhaoling couldn't stop crying, and said intermittently: "I, I can't...... It's me, it's me who is too careless, I'm always ...... Always dependent on you, yourself...... ...... to danger There is no vigilance. I killed ...... Kill An Nian......"

Shen Fengjiu gently patted Lu Zhaoling's back and was speechless for a while.

After crying like this for a while, Ah Li suddenly shouted irritably on the side: "Tsk, don't cry!" ”

Shen Fengjiu glanced back at Ah Li, and Lu Zhaoling also paused, raised his head with tears in his eyes, and looked at Ah Li in a daze while sobbing.

"If you want to blame, blame the monster who killed this child! If you have the ability, go and kill that monster and avenge him! What a sin for yourself here! Useless! Ali yelled fiercely.

Lu Zhaoling was stunned, obviously a little surprised.

"I thought you had a lot of skills! Aren't you very majestic when you beat our family Ah Huang and threatened me? It turned out to be a crying bag, and he would only bully and bully the weak! Ah Li snorted at Lu Zhaoling.

Shen Fengjiu frowned slightly, but he didn't reprimand out loud.

"You ......," Lu Zhaoling said in a daze.

"What am I? Look at me, you have the ability to beat me! Ali stood with his hands on his hips menacingly.

“…… Thank you. Lu Zhaoling sobbed.

“…… Hum. Ali raised his head.

The three of them were silent for a while, and only Lu Zhaoling sobbed from time to time in the air.

Shen Fengjiu stretched out his hand and gently wiped Lu Zhaoling's tears.

After a while, Lu Zhaoling's sobbing gradually stopped.

She took a deep breath and said slowly, "I will avenge An." ”

"Hmm." Shen Fengjiu nodded.

"Although you are already miserable, my Ah Huang still has to help me heal!" Ah Li said with some weakness.

"We'll help you heal it, but hopefully you'll do me one more favor." Lu Zhaoling's voice was already very calm.

Ah Li naturally guessed what Lu Zhaoling wanted.

"It's okay to help, but I still want you to promise me one thing in exchange." Alido.

"You."

"If you can succeed in avenging this child...... When you come down again, take me with you, and escort me all the way to another town away from the smoke. ”

"Okay." Lu Zhaoling simply agreed to this request.

Ali was a little speechless.

“…… I know what you want me to help you with, and I'll provide you with information about the killer. But do you know what I mean? That thing is the biggest threat in the mountains, and it is also the object of sacrifice in Yantu Town. If you can really kill it, it means that you are really very powerful, which is why I asked you to take me away. Ali said helplessly.

"Whatever that thing is, I'm going to crush it to pieces." Lu Zhaoling said coldly.

“…… You're really scary. Ali was a little embarrassed, "Okay, since you insist on going to death, I don't bother to stop you." When you cure Ah Huang, I will tell you about it immediately. ”
