Chapter 35: Keeping Bear Company
The scorching sun, shining straight down without obstruction, baked the shadows of the two people in the mountain to a short and flat one. Looking up at the air a few feet away, you can clearly perceive the violent shaking and layering due to the temperature. Knowing that, he lay wilted on the trunk of the tree, and stopped screaming. The mountains are extremely quiet, with only the pervasive heat filling every corner.
Shang Jin's clothes were soaked all over his body, and beads of sweat the size of beans slid all the way from his snow-white neck to the wound on his back, causing a faint pain. He frowned, his mouth dry and unable to say a word. He is now like a stranded fish, just flutter a few times, the strength and water can quickly evaporate from the body, and it won't be long before he is an adult.
"Childe, we... After a morning of walking, finally... It's almost out of the mountain! Liu Shiyi looked at the road in front of him that was gradually flattening, and said breathlessly. Shang Jin used to live in the mansion and was happy and happy, where had he endured such a long distance of bumps on the horse? Coupled with the torture of the wound on his back, his face was abnormally pale, and he was on the verge of collapse. Hearing Liu Shiyi's words, he symbolically hooked his lips to express his joy.
"Help! Help me!! Help meβ" Suddenly came the heart-rending cry of a girl in the bushes ahead. Shang Jin was shocked, dragged his heavy body, and hurriedly followed the prestige.
"Roar!!" A black shadow pressed down, and after Liu Shiyi saw it clearly, his eyes widened in surprise, and he didn't hesitate to swing his sword. He shouted:
"It's a bear! Childe, stand back! β
"Roar!" A sword slashed at the grizzly bear's vulnerable area, clutching its abdomen in pain and taking a step back. Seeing this, Shang Jin quickly retreated with light skills, only to see a little girl shrouded in a bear's body, cowering, mottled with blood marks on her bare skin, shocking.
The child's gray face, covered with dust, was washed out of white marks by tears. His eyes were black, although he was crying, but without a trace of emotion, Shang Jin looked straight in, inexplicably frightened at the same time, and at the same time, there was a sense of familiarity: as long as he stared at those eyes for a moment, he felt like he was bewitched, as if he was in the darkest room, suffocating his heart and about to explode. That small body was just as high as the bear's legs, and her limbs were as craggy as wood, like a little marionette, and she was powerless to parry, and God knows how she had survived until now! Shang Jin thought about it, clenched the ice blade in his hand, and shouted:
"Eleven! We save her! β
"Childe, you must be careful! This grizzly bear eats human flesh. Now we're mad with it, and we don't know what's going to happen. β
"Be careful, too." Shang Jin grabbed the five fingers of his right hand in the void, and three ice cubes shot straight into the grizzly bear's heart.
"Whoop" slightly, Liu Shiyi had to suspect that he had heard it wrong, and when he looked at the bear again, he saw that it was standing casually, and the two ice edges broke into several pieces, and soon turned into water vapor; The remaining one, however, was literally inserted into the flesh of the grizzly bear's chest, and he slapped it with his fat paws, and the ice edge rolled down with bright red blood, and disappeared into the grass. How is that possible? That bear skin is so thick? Don't feel any pain? Liu Shiyi frowned suspiciously: No, he just stabbed it with his sword, and it retreated in pain. Suddenly there was a loud roar of a bear in his ears, which was deafening, and Liu Shiyi hurriedly shouted:
"Childe, stab it off the plate!" Hearing this, Shang Jin tightened the ice blade in his palm, and the blade flashed with cold light in the sun. The girl sitting on the grass suddenly glanced over, looked at the transparent spirit stone on the handle of the knife fixedly, and suddenly smiled.
At this time, Shang Jin saw that the spiritual power gathered around the blade was becoming more and more abundant. He "snorted" out of the knife and stabbed the bear's lower plate, fast, ruthless and accurate.
"Whew-" the bear roared in pain and fell backwards, gasping for air exhaustively. Seeing this, Liu Shiyi hurriedly shouted at the stunned little girl:
"Hey, come here!" The child stood up in a trance, and slowly moved towards them. The girl's curled right hand moved as if unconsciously, and the grizzly bear suddenly stood up behind her, roared, and slapped the girl in the face. Shang Jin quickly scooped up the little girl who was slow and seemed to be frightened, and flew to a rock next to her. Then the ice blade in his hand shortened, slipped out between his fingers, and like a dart, he sturdied into the grizzly bear's lower plate.
"Poof-" Blood with a strong fishy smell spurted out instantly, Shang Jin saw this, and quickly retreated, but his robe was still inevitably wet with bear blood. He frowned in disgust, his right hand spread out, and he slammed it back, and the blade stained with bear blood flew into his palm.
After Shang Jin purified the blade with his spiritual power, the blade turned and cut off the corner of the robe that was stained with a fishy smell, and unconsciously wrinkled his nose.
"Tell my brother, what's your name? How is it alone in this hill? Liu Shiyi squatted beside the little girl and asked.
"Wu Ming." As soon as the girl spoke, Shang Jin walked over and raised her eyebrows: I didn't hear it clearly just now, this girl had a cold appearance, but she didn't expect her voice to be so sweet, like a little yellow warbler. Xiao Mu's soft voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Brother! Mu Ningjiu's face appeared in his mind, and a warm current surged in his heart. Like the girl in front of her, the little fox's face and Xiao Mu's voice are incompatible, but they make people feel a little pity for no reason. He hooked his lips and said softly:
"Wu Ming, where are your relatives?"
"Loved ones?" She looked up, her dark eyes flashing with confusion and confusion: "What are your relatives?" Shang Jin was shocked, how similar this answer was to the little fox he knew at the beginning...... So he involuntarily said:
"It's too dangerous for you to stay here, can you go with your brother? Brother will protect you. β
Wu Ming's dark eyes stared at the knife on Shang Jin's waist, and said softly, "Okay." Shang Jin frowned: agreed so easily? I thought it would take a lot of effort to convince her. He was just about to go over and pick up Wu Ming, when she suddenly stepped back and ran straight towards the grizzly bear, but the steps were not as clumsy as just now, steady and smooth, and extremely flexible.
"Wu Ming, what are you going to do?!" Shang Jin turned his head in astonishment, seeing that she was already squatting next to the grizzly bear corpse, he frowned, not knowing why. When I got closer, I heard her sweet and undulating voice:
"Big Ash, you've completed your mission, go ahead, don't be nostalgic." Her tiny hand was lightly attached to the grizzly bear's forehead, and she stayed for a moment before quickly leaving.
Shang Jin raised his eyebrows and asked, "This grizzly bear, is it your friend?" β
She looked up, pondered for a while, and said:
"Friends? Since you're all called that, that's it; Together, we've done a lot. Shang Jin thought to herself: What a poor child, her parents didn't know whether they abandoned her or died, living alone in such a beast-infested mountain. And her best friend is actually a grizzly bear. But the other party may just treat her as a dessert. I didn't eat her before, maybe I felt that there was too little meat and wanted to eat it again after fattening? Fortunately, it was good that he met it in time.
......
Ice City.
"Your Majesty, the princess has been found, and our people are following in the dark, when will they act? Please instruct. Said the guard in a nightcoat.
"Hahaha good! Very good! McGee laughed, the meridians rising from excitement clearly visible, "The time is not yet ripe, then, listen to Lone's instructions." β
"Yes. The king, the guards around her are all from the Shenzhou Continent, and there seems to be a monk, do you want to ......" The guard made a gesture of wiping his neck. McGee's mind was now confused by the joy of revenge, and he shouted:
"Do you need to talk about that? Those who block orphans are the only way to die! Hahaha...... "The madness of revenge flashed in his eyes: Shang Jin, the show is about to start!" Are you looking forward to it, are you nervous? Hahahaha, of course you can't, because you're a fool; Like your shitty mother, a fool who doesn't know anything; Even if the spiritual weapon that inherits the throne is taken away by you, what is the use? I didn't die for a day, it and the Ice City throne were not yours for a day! When the time comes, don't just cry and beg me with that scrap of brass and rotten iron! Hahaha......
......
"Yay......" sound like a mosquito and a fly, if you don't listen carefully, you can't really hear it at all.
"Yo, Ke Shao, why can't you even speak clearly? Do you not know how to pronounce the word 'grandpa'? Or is your childhood stuttering problem coming back...... Although I Anqi has read less books, this difference can still be recognized, do you say that you are not bullying honest people? Shen Wan moved a chair and sat at the door of a military tent, crossed Erlang's legs, and pretended to be aggrieved.
Ke Shao at her feet was being pressed at this time, on all fours, stubbornly arching his back, his neck like a straight pole, holding on with difficulty. A group of people around were not too noisy and watched with great interest. Originally, during the lunch break, as soon as I heard that Ke Shao was going to fulfill his promise, the big guys ran out of the tent and surrounded them three layers inside and three layers outside. After all, sleep can be made up at any time, and the scene of Ke Shao being bullied can only be seen once in his life.
"Ke Shao, isn't your back not very good? Do you need me to call someone to heal you? β
"Phew! Roll to Lao Tzu!! Ke Shao was humiliated and yelled loudly. Trying to stand up, Yarman was kicked into the grass by Yarman, who was behind him, and gnawed several mouthfuls of mud. There was a hot pain in his back, Ke Shao gritted his teeth, and heard Shen Wan's words with a sneer:
"Ke Shao, don't you still understand? In the Phantom Race, not everyone is born to obey you. She stretched out her hand to those who were watching the excitement and said:
"They are afraid of you and do not confront you head-on, not because of cowardice, but because they know very well that the system of supremacy of power among the four clans cannot be rewritten immediately. And the consequences of reckless confrontation will only involve your family, and bear the untold damage inflicted by you, those in high positions. And you, self-righteous, are not a symbol of power at all, just an accessory of power. You are worthless without the High Priest. β
