Qin Qi simply cleaned up in the headquarters of the border guard team in the government building, received dry food for a few days, went to the stable of the warehouse and asked for a reddish-brown horse, and went to the direction of Horseback Town. On the way, he deliberately made a detour and arrived at the orphan shelter in Changhu Town, intending to say goodbye to Lingyue.

He rode his horse up and down the edge of the iron fence outside the orphans' shelter, keeping his eyes fixed on the small red brick building in the fence. Maybe it was because he felt guilty about his untrustworthy behavior, or because of some kind of warmth from Lingyue during this time, he was a little reluctant to disturb Lingyue's mood by saying goodbye.

Through the pale yellow glass that was divided into four pieces by the wooden frame, you can see that Lingyue rolled up his sleeves and was playing happily with a group of children, laughter and laughter passed through layers of obstacles and came to Qin Qi's ears, and at this moment he was already completely intoxicated by Lingyue's joyful eyes and charming smile, and he was indifferent to the falling leaves hitting his face.

Lingyue also seemed to feel that someone was watching her outside the window. She looked up and saw outside the window a man in a border guard uniform sitting on horseback, looking in her direction, motionless, like the statue in the middle of the square. At this time, a name suddenly appeared in her mind, Qin Qi. She immediately ran to the outside of the shelter.

When Qin Qi came back to his senses, he didn't choose to go in to find Lingyue, but turned his horse's head and ran towards the direction of Ma's back town without looking back. The wind whistled in his ears, and his determined and stern eyes stared straight ahead, and passers-by seemed to him to be a soldier in a hurry with a determined goal, but in fact, no one knew the heart that had already been worshipping under this grim face. Because this young man found that he had a feeling in his heart, an abnormal feeling, that kind of longing that should have belonged to Luo Zhilan was inexorably transferred to someone.

After leaving Changhu Town, most of the places outside are forests and grasslands, the so-called road, that is, a low meadow trampled by passers-by and horses' hooves, the natural unmodified road and the countless beautiful scenery along the way match, there is no sense of disobedience, after all, there is no need to walk forward, as a tour is okay, but unfortunately the fly in the ointment is that Qin Qi has been lost for almost a day.

When Qin Qi asked the groom on the other side of the stable for a horse, the groom also patted his chest with confidence and said that this was an old horse that had been in a hundred battles, and it had been going back and forth between Changhu Town and Mabei Town for more than seven or eight years, and even if it was blindfolded with a cloth, it would not go astray. In Qin Qi's opinion, this is indeed an old horse, first of all, it has a lot of stamina, and it is seriously weak in the later stage, and the current small broken steps are also the highest speed that Qin Qi can enjoy; The second is that the old horse may be dizzy, as long as Qin Qi is not careful, it will lead Qin Qi to hit the tree without the slightest hesitation. Seeing that it was about to get dark, the old horse still hadn't found the way, which made Qin Qi very melancholy.

Since he hadn't had a good rest until last night, Qin Qi sat on the back of the horse in a daze, and when he came to a little refreshment, he found that he had unconsciously walked into a relatively dense jungle, and the surrounding trees were very different from what he had seen along the way this morning, so the trunks of these trees were like rusty pig iron, and the cracks in the trunks were yellow-brown rust. The leaves are not a hint of emerald green, but all deep purple-black.

"What's going on?" Qin Qi did not continue to push forward, but dismounted and stayed in place to look. The old horse seemed to have been looking forward to the moment when Qin Qi got off the horse, when Qin Qi jumped off the horse just now, the old horse was like a drunk old man, lying on the ground with a "poof", closing his eyes, and swinging the horse's hooves, it was not the same thing as Qin Qi, there was quite a thunderous posture.

"You just sleep," Qin Qi glanced at the old horse with disdain, "Anyway, the effect of whether you sleep or not is the same." ”

Seeing the old horse lying motionless on the ground, Qin Qi didn't pay attention to it anymore. He walked cautiously on the soft foliage layer, came to a rusty tree, took off his gloves, picked a little "rust" on the bark with his index finger, rubbed it on his fingertips, and then approached his nose, at this time, a pungent smell of blood poured into Qin Qi's nose, making him almost vomit.

"What is this?!" Qin Qi complained, he took a step back and looked at the tree, and suddenly, a "click" sound came from the bottom of his feet, and it sounded like he had stepped on something.

Qin Qi pulled out his long sword and poked the leaves under his feet, the blade of the sword could not penetrate the soil, making him feel as if something hard was buried under the leaves. He brushed the leaves away with his foot, and a small piece of black metal slowly revealed, and half of the bright red stars remained on it.

"It's ・・・・・"

Qin Qi immediately recognized that this piece of metal printed with red five stars was the armor of the Seventh Army army that he had seen on the trade avenue last time. But why is there the armor of the Seventh Army in this wood, and it is still broken? With these questions, Qin Qi raised his head and glanced around again, this time, he saw more things.

A large number of bones were scattered on the ground of this jungle, and although the ground was covered with purple-black leaves, it could not hide the white skulls that were exposed on the leaves, the dusty daggers that stood on the ground, and the broken arrows embedded in the trunks of the trees. The yellow-brown stains on the trunk were not rust, but moldy blood, and the whole jungle was actually a slaughterhouse.

Even after seeing all kinds of bloody scenes, Qin Qi was still a little uncomfortable with this place, as the sunlight was swallowed up by darkness little by little, the whole jungle became dark, especially when the moonlight shone on the trunk of the tree through the gap in the leaves, each tree was shaking slightly, and the continuous leaves were scattered in the air, and the dull sound of collision echoed in the jungle, as if something was about to jump out of the trunk.

Seeing this, Qin Qi quickly climbed the nearest tree to him as quickly as possible, and when he looked down, he realized that he had forgotten the old horse, but unfortunately the place where the branch could stand was so small, and the old horse did not look like he had high-end tree climbing skills, Qin Qi could only pray that something would come out later to be kind to the old horse.

At this moment, a huge crack instantly cracked in the trunk of the tree opposite Qin Qi, and the sound of the fiber pulling was extremely harsh, and a black hand squeezed out of the crack, and then followed by this hand, and a broken and tattered body also emerged. Due to the luminosity problem, Qin Qi only observed a black mass falling on the pile of soft leaves, and it was only when the mass stood up that he could see where it was sacred.

In general, this is also a person, but it can't be said to be a very "clean" guy. The limbs of this thing were intact, and the tattered things he had just seen were just a few pieces of fabric he had put on his body, and the eyes on his bare head were hollow, and he couldn't see that there might be eyeballs or anything like that. What's more, this thing was all black from top to bottom, as if it had been burned, and Qin Qi could smell the smell of charcoal from afar while standing on the tree. The pitch-black skin made his mouth full of dense white fangs quite prominent.

Not only the tree opposite, but also the other trees around him, even the trees under Qin Qi's feet, all jumped out one by one black things, they moved their slow steps, stretched their bodies, and roared towards the sky, as if they had just woken up, and were about to find prey to fill their stomachs. Qin Qi hurriedly covered himself with a cloak on the tree to avoid being discovered, but the old horse on the ground was not lucky.

The monsters had already noticed the old horse sleeping on the ground. They all gathered towards the old horse, and the stiff steps stepped on the white bones to make a "click" breaking sound, and the old horse opened his eyes leisurely at this time, glanced at it, and found that the surrounding was full of black and oppressive "crowds", but after all, it was an old horse, and he did not panic, but stood up from the ground unhurriedly, flicked his tail, and stood in place waiting for Qin Qi's arrival.

At this time, those black monsters were already hungry, and when they saw that the old horse did not react, they rushed up, and dozens of people pounced on them together. Before the old horse could react, he was buried under a pile of black monsters. All kinds of biting sounds and sucking sounds were intertwined, and Qin Qi saw that blood was constantly splattering out of the pile of monsters, flying everywhere, and there were pieces of bones that were thrown out and flying in the air. In less than a few minutes, all that remained of the old horse was a pile of white bones that had been licked cleanly and without the slightest blood.

Seeing the dead old horse, Qin Qi instantly understood why there were so many white bones scattered in this jungle, the armor he saw just now showed that the Seventh Army had also been to this place, and he said that he had not gone to the wrong place, judging from the scattered weapons, there should have been a fierce battle here a few days ago, and the battle should have been relatively fierce, if the army was hit hard, and now he is alone, if he is discovered, wouldn't it be the same fate as that old horse?

Fortunately, standing on a high place, those monsters had just eaten a meal of horse meat, and they were still in the same place, howling at each other one by one, and it seemed that they didn't want to eat anything else for a while.

Just as Qin Qi decided to stay in the trees for the night, he saw a faint light approaching the woods in the distance. When the monsters resting on the ground saw the fire, they sprang up from the ground one by one as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and looked up, thinking that some prey was coming to their stomachs.

Qin Qi cautiously looked at the place of the fire from the tree, since he came to this world, the acuity of hearing and vision has increased explosively, and sometimes he can even take a thousand miles to see things, and it is not a problem to see things at such a distance.

As a result, he saw a woman in a white cloak and a staff in her hand, riding a horse towards the jungle. And this woman turned out to be Lingyue! Seeing the monster under his feet running towards Lingyue like a hungry wolf, Qin Qi was extremely anxious, he couldn't figure out why Lingyue appeared in this place, but now was not the time to study this issue. Qin Qi drew his long sword, jumped down from the tree, and stabbed a monster with his back to him with a sword, and then he chased after the group of monsters, shouting loudly in front.

"Lingyue, don't come here."

Ling Yue sat on horseback, heard this familiar voice, and immediately illuminated the jungle with the light of the staff, thinking that she could see Qin Qi, but she didn't expect it to be a piece of coke that swooped over from the ground. She didn't have time to dodge, she was pushed down by the monster's hand and fell off her horse.

"Lingyue!" Qin Qi saw Lingyue fall to the ground, as if he had been stabbed by something, and a wave of anger ignited in his heart. Seeing that the monster was about to stretch out his claws to Lingyue, Qin Qi bumped into the two monsters in front of him with his shoulder, threw the long sword forward, the long sword spun and flew in the air, and finally firmly inserted it into the monster's back, and the monster fell weakly in an instant.

At this time, Lingyue hurriedly got up from the ground, picked up his staff, and raised it into the air, making the staff glow with a dazzling light.

"Wow~" A ghost crying wolf howl came and went, and those monsters fled in all directions with their smoking bodies, the dazzling light was like hot magma splashing on their charred skin, and the arrival of each layer of light made them suffer, and soon, these monsters hid in the trunks of trees. Everywhere instantly regained its calm.

At this time, Qin Qi pulled out his long sword, walked up to Lingyue with a tired face, and smiled at her.

"How did you get here?"

Lingyue let the staff's light fade. She looked at Qin Qi in front of her with satisfaction, and smiled meaningfully.

"Because, someone promised me that he would accompany me tonight."

The two embraced each other instantly.
