Jiang Ying'er wanted to refuse, but Qin Zhao smiled heartily, he first thanked the man and then took it, tasted a small bite, and after finding that there was nothing unusual, he handed it to her.

Jiang Ying'er looked at the food in front of her, and her fingers paused slightly.

The people in the pavilion began to chat, it was nothing more than what they had seen and heard in the forest, and what would happen after entering the forest to find the treasures, Qin Zhao listened to their words, thought slightly in his eyes, and said to Jiang Ying'er: "Ying'er, I want to go with them." ”

Jiang Ying'er was slightly surprised, and only listened to Qin Zhao: "We are penniless now, and it will be very difficult to get to the town, it is better to go with them, if there is really a harvest, the road in the future will be easier." ”

She thought for a moment and said softly, "No matter what, I'm with you." ”

Qin Zhao smiled at her comfortingly, and told Dou Wencheng about it, and the other party naturally agreed.

Jiang Ying'er hugged her knees, curled up in the corner, listening to the conversations of the people around her, and suddenly felt sleepy. With the anticipation of the future, she fell into a deep sleep......

……

When the morning light was faint, everyone set off.

The road was smooth, and occasionally encountered spirit beast attacks, and they were all killed by everyone.

After walking for an hour, Dou Wencheng suddenly spoke.

"In this place in front of us, it is said that a certain great power was once buried. Later, the power ascended, leaving behind many precious treasures. ”

Jiang Ying'er had heard him mention it before, but she still didn't believe it in her heart, she had always been a cautious person.

She looked around, and it seemed that the eyes of the people around her were a little hot, and even Qin Zhao's eyes lit up.

There are always similar stories in the book, often find some powerful relics, so some people go on an expedition and find a large number of precious treasures. These people will generally get a lot of wealth, or their skills will be greatly improved, and they will get precious and lost cultivation techniques.

But is it really that smooth?

Someone listened to Dou Wencheng's words, his tone was a little excited, and he hurriedly said: "Where is that place, does Dou Gongzi know?" ”

"I don't know, I'm afraid I'll have to look around again......"

Before he could finish speaking, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of him, somewhat like a huge rock.

When they got closer, they found that it was a stone tablet with a strange blood-colored pattern engraved on it.

The stele looked weather-beaten, the surrounding edges were smoothed, but the words on it were slightly shiny, which was unusual at first glance.

The faces of the people around him were happy, and they began to study the stone tablet in front of them.

I don't know who stepped on whom, and suddenly someone fell, and then I don't know what hit the stone tablet, and suddenly there was a bright light on it.

A bright light flashed, everyone's eyes subconsciously closed, and when they opened their eyes again, the scenery in front of them changed one by one. Some people noticed that the location of the trees was different, but other than that, they didn't see anything special.

"Is the ruins really here?" One of them looked around, his eyes a little disappointed.

Could it be that too much time has passed, and the place has disappeared?

"Look where!" Someone suddenly pointed ahead.

In the distance, a small light suddenly floated, floating in the air, like countless rising fireflies, turning into a shining galaxy.

The moving scenery made everyone's faces a little more obsessed, and they couldn't help but get closer, and some of them were already rushing towards the place......

……

Jiang Ying'er also stepped out involuntarily, but was stopped by Qin Zhao.

She looked at Qin Zhao in front of her and found that his gaze was frozen, his eyebrows furrowed, and his expression looked extremely serious.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

"Something is wrong." Qin Zhao's face was a little ugly.

"What's the problem?"

"There's a problem." Qin Zhao said, "Didn't you notice that after everyone saw this point of light, they were in a trance? ”

When Jiang Ying'er heard it, she found that there seemed to be a little. I have no interest in the ruins, but the moment I see the light, it is like being sucked away, and it makes people have a desperate desire to go.

Qin Zhao looked at Dou Wencheng who was standing quietly in front of him, and at this time, a frost snow eagle landed on his shoulder, and he touched its head affectionately.

Jiang Ying'er's pupils shrank, isn't this the spirit beast that attacked them before, and even its abdomen, the wound has not healed yet.

"Who are you, what are you doing tricking us here?" Qin Zhao shouted angrily.

Facing Qin Zhao's sudden questioning, Dou Wencheng did not panic, he smiled gently: "This little brother, did you misunderstand something?" ”

"Do you still want to pretend now?"

Qin Zhao sneered, took Jiang Ying'er's hand and was about to go back.

A strong air flow suddenly hit their backs, Qin Zhao only felt a chill behind him, and in an instant, he already understood something, and immediately protected Jiang Ying'er.

That kind of force was about to tear him apart almost instantly!

Qin Zhao spat out a mouthful of blood and knelt on one knee.

"Qin Zhao, ...... you" Before Jiang Ying'er finished speaking, she saw the huge and hideous wound on his back, she looked frightened, and her fingertips trembled slightly.

Qin Zhao looked at the person behind him angrily, only to see Dou Gongzi's eyes skimming over them like flowing water, with a look of pity, and said leisurely: "It's really moving." ”

"Everyone is here, do you still want to leave?"

Dou Wencheng took out a flute and gently covered his lips.

In an instant, a flute sounded, and countless birds suddenly startled the surrounding forest. Some were petite, but their bodies were covered with sharp scales, while others were huge and had blood-red eyes, their wings spread out to cover almost half of the sky.

Countless black shadows rose up and came straight towards them—

Qin Zhao's pupils shrank, and under such a huge number, there was almost nowhere to escape, so he had no choice but to pounce on Jiang Ying'er and cover her.

Jiang Ying'er looked at Qin Zhao, who looked resolute in front of her, and tears burst into her eyes.

Countless banging or gnawing sounds stimulated the eardrum, and Jiang Ying'er closed her eyes and felt angina.

"Please, you go, you go quickly......" she said hoarsely.

Qin Zhao didn't speak.

He was covered in blood, and his bones were shattered...... If an ordinary person had fainted to death like him, it would be rare that he still had consciousness...... Even so, he still tried his best to protect Jiang Ying'er and hugged her tightly.

The spirit beasts around him were crazy, frantically biting at his flesh, and there was a strong smell of blood around him.

Not an inch of Qin Zhao's skin was intact, blood kept dripping on the ground, and the soil under his body turned blood-red.

Jiang Ying'er wanted to break free from his embrace, but she couldn't break free no matter what, Qin Zhao snorted, she was worried about touching her wound again, so she had to stay still and burst into tears in his arms.

“…… Ying'er, don't cry, listen to me......"

His voice was dry and hoarse, and it seemed that every word he uttered required a great deal of effort.

"I know you're having a bad time...... Even if you do a lot, in the hearts of your parents, you are not as good as that stupid brother...... They also want to sell your whole life......"

Jiang Ying'er listened to him talking in her ear, and felt a pain in her heart. She didn't dare look up at his expression, her hands were all wet, some were her tears, some were his blood.

"I'm sorry...... Actually, I came to look for you that day, and I said I want to marry you, I want to be good to you...... But they don't look down on me......"

"How I want to take you out of that place, to take you to the place you yearn for...... But I can't do it, I'm a useless person......"

Jiang Ying'er's eyes were full of tears, and she shook her head frantically: "No, no......"

Dou Wencheng noticed this scene and muttered softly: "I'm not dead yet." ”

After that, a blade of light rushed towards Qinzhao——

"Bang!"

Qin Zhao's body trembled, spit out a stream of blood, and his voice suddenly became weak.

He said, "Ying'er, I'm ......."

Jiang Ying'er was listening carefully, but saw that he fell on top of him all of a sudden, and he didn't move.

"Qin Zhao?"

No one responded.

Tears flowed from Jiang Ying'er's eyes, and she reached out and brushed the man's unclosed eyes.

Then she pressed her lips to the man's cold eyelashes.
