Chapter 104: The Kid Who Fell from the Sky
Xu Shouzhong identified the direction and led everyone straight in the direction of the Northwest Bodao Ridge......
They stepped on a thick layer of rotten branches and dead leaves on the ground, and the more they walked into the depths of the Panhu Forest, the more they had a long road ahead: at this time, the trees around them did not know how many years had grown. The sunlight above shines through the gaps in the leaves, and the ground is dappled with light and shadow.
In this way, Xu Duling was somewhat relieved. As far as the eye can see, the view is transparent. Even if there are demons and monsters hidden in the forest, there is nothing to hide.
There was nothing to say all the way, regardless of the convoy on the official road for the time being, what happened in the end. At this time, the five people who left the team and walked for two days were already about to arrive at Bodaoling.
The Thin Knife Ridge is like a sharp blade, dividing the Panhu Forest and the Unnamed Forest into two. They present two completely different regional styles: the Panhu Forest has a temperate climate, while the Unnamed Forest is cold and humid.
I've already reached this place, and because I'm getting closer to Thin Knife Ridge, the road is starting to get rougher. The woods are full of rocks, and occasionally, a small animal or two that has never been seen before will pop up.
Xu Duling looked through the leaves and looked at the southern cliff of Bodaoling that seemed to be close in front of him, and the mountain cliff was towering into the clouds. But he knew in his heart that this seemed to be close at hand, but in fact it was still half a day's journey.
Seeing that Her Royal Highness the princess was still curious about the things around her, she also got into the bushes from time to time and disappeared from everyone's sight for a short time. Commander Xu couldn't help but speak to him: "Princess, this is going farther and farther, and I don't know when I will find a way out." Stop messing around and come to us!"
When the princess heard this, her pretty face immediately turned cold: "Xu Shouzhong, you are so bold! dare to say that His Royal Highness is messing around?"
When the former heard this, he immediately fell to the ground: "The subordinates don't dare!, but the closer this is to the Bodao Ridge, the more difficult the road becomes.
When the princess heard this, she thought about it carefully, and knew that Xu Duling was all for her good, so her face immediately eased. waved his hand absently: "That's it, this has been out for so many days, and His Royal Highness has almost had a good time." Let's go back quickly, after being away for so many days, my father should be worried......"
Xu Duling nodded, then got up and looked around: in his impression, the road to Dragon Scale City should be near here, but now, he couldn't find it. He bowed his hand to the princess and said, "My subordinates will take them to investigate the route now, and ask the princess to wait here for a while." ”
After speaking, a master was left to take care of the princess. The other two were separated from Xu Duling and looked for a way.
In the few days that I thought about coming all the way, nothing critical happened, so everyone relaxed their vigilance. The master, who stayed to take care of the princess, sat on the stone not far away with the god-killing knife in his arms, his eyes fixed on the latter.
The latter glanced at him, but he was extremely unhappy in his heart: since he was out of the palace, he was like a prisoner in their eyes. Not only did they lose their personal freedom, but they also had to fall under their noses all the time, how awkward and awkward they were.
I don't know if I insisted on coming out this time for "fun" or to suffer. The princess sighed, and leaned against a large tree without speaking.
After calming down at this moment, I realized that the surroundings were really quiet and quiet. Xu Du led their voices to fade away, leaving only the cries of unknown insects and birds around them. There is also the strange smell of rotting leaves on the ground, mixed with the aroma of flowers and plants, which fills the nostrils.
"So this is the smell of nature...... "The princess whispered, and the pink nose inadvertently sniffed at the cuff, and couldn't help frowning: I haven't washed it for many days, and I've been on the road all the time, and my body stinks to death!"
When I thought of this, I suddenly felt that there seemed to be small insects crawling on my body. The princess is a daughter, pampered in the palace, although she always wants to run out to play, but she really gets dirty, and she still feels extremely uncomfortable.
Suddenly, a dried fruit fell from the tree and landed at her feet. When I looked up, I saw a squirrel shuttling around the canopy. looked at the master not far away, still scanning the forest with his eyes like a torch. The princess's big eyes spun around, and a sly thought suddenly appeared in her heart......
"Alas, there's a squirrel in the tree! It's so cute, can this master help me catch it?" Hearing the princess's words, the master looked up and felt a little embarrassed: it is not difficult to catch it with his own skills. But ~ the governor told him before leaving, he must not leave the princess's side an inch, in case he will chase away......
Seeing that the other party didn't seem to be very happy, the former suddenly made a small face: "What's the matter, you can't do this request? Princess Ben ordered you to go and catch the squirrel for me immediately!"
The daughter didn't dare to disobey, and the master nodded hurriedly: "Okay, Your Highness! Your subordinates will go and catch it! You wait a moment......" After speaking, he tightened his clothes and bent his knees. Like a nimble monkey, it quickly climbs up the tree trunk.
The squirrel is also very nimble, and when he sees someone coming up, he flicks it on a branch and quickly moves to another tree. The master almost caught it a few times, but every time he missed it.
In this way, it aroused his competitive spirit. I saw two figures, one behind the other, shuttling through the treetops and canopy. I had forgotten that there was still a person waiting there on the ground at the moment.
Looking at the figure that gradually disappeared from the canopy, Xiao Nizi underneath raised an imperceptible smile at the corner of her mouth. At that moment, he pretended to shout, "You have to be careful! Princess Ben is waiting for you here......" There was no response, and it seemed that he was really chasing away.
Xiao Nizi retracted her gaze and quickly glanced around. After choosing the direction, I immediately pulled up my skirt and walked away......
The direction she ran to was the side of Bodaoling, and she naturally thought in her heart, sneaking away alone and having fun for a while. Anyway, when Governor Xu leads them to find no one later, they will follow the way. Thinking like this, the soles of my feet couldn't help but speed up.
It seems that this princess has been practiced to some extent, although she wears a skirt and the ground is rugged, but she is like flying. The delicate body jumps flexibly between the vines and rubble, and it doesn't seem to be difficult. After a while, it was a long run.
After running for a while, I slowed down, and when I looked back, I felt that it was almost there. She didn't dare to run too far, and at the current distance, they might not be able to find it for a while.
Thinking that Xu Duling couldn't see himself for a while, his stunned and anxious appearance suddenly felt funny, so he couldn't help but giggle.
It should be that she is bold, and she is any little girl, walking alone through this inaccessible forest, I am afraid that her legs will be scared. The forest here was very different from what she had remembered, and although it was a little dark, it was much better than theirs.
After playing for a while, I feel a little bored. In the silence of the woods, the slightest movement could be heard clearly. She listened carefully, and felt that there seemed to be the sound of running water, and even followed the sound and looked all the way there.
After turning around and turning around, the eyes suddenly opened up: I saw a pool of blue waves leaping in front of me. The water is crystal clear, and at the back is a line of high cliffs, and a clear stream spills down from the top of the cliff. The mist that was raised hit his face was slightly cool. This situation and this scene can't help but make people happy.
When Xiao Nizi saw this pool of water, she was overjoyed, so she ran to the shore and stroked the water with her jade hand. I felt a burst of coolness hit me, as if all the tiredness was swept away in this instant. She looked up at the neighborhood, convinced that there was no one anymore, and suddenly her cheeks flushed, and she quickly removed her clothes.
I only heard a soft sound of "poof", the water in the pool rippled, and a petite shadow loomed in the blue waves......
She stretched her limbs comfortably in the water, feeling like her bones were about to melt in the water. I don't know how long later, when I was about to fall asleep floating on the water, at this time, a few stones suddenly fell from the cliff next to me.
After looking up for a long time, the top of the cliff was hidden in a layer of clouds and mist, and it was not real. After a while, there was no movement, and I thought it might just be a mischievous monkey, climbing on it.
At the thought of this, she didn't think much about it, and continued to squint her eyes and wander in the clear water. But the good times didn't last long, and the movement above became louder and louder, gradually attracting her attention.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred! I heard a heart-rending cry suddenly from the top of the cliff: "Mom!"
Immediately, there was a "crackling" sound of shrub branches being broken. In the midst of the screams, a person suddenly fell from the clouds!
The man didn't pause at all, and just fell directly into the water! With a loud "pop", he lay on the surface of the water in a big word, and the "grunt" bubbled and sank......
The princess had never seen such a scene, and immediately put her hands on her chest and screamed......
This person was chased here by the demon corpse, and accidentally fell off the cliff without a trace!
The moment he fell from the cliff, You Wuxian's mind was blank, and he thought: It's miserable......! He danced and tried to grab something, but before his hands could touch anything, he simply fell into the water.
Falling from such a high place, even though there is water underneath, the force is really terrifying. In just one moment, the body was shot apart!
I felt like I was slowly sinking, the water was pouring into my mouth and nose, and I couldn't breathe. A strong sense of survival made him struggle instinctively. But at this time, his eyes were black, his whole body was weak, and he could only watch himself sink. Finally, he squeezed out the last breath left in his chest, and finally fell unconscious......
I don't know how long it took, but I woke up slowly, only to feel soreness all over my body and a splitting headache. You Wuxian sat up slowly, and the first thing that caught his eye was a pair of vigilant eyeballs not far away.
This time, he was frightened, so he hurriedly rummaged through his body. It's okay not to touch it, but I can't help but sweat coldly: it's miserable, the god-killing knife and the Mithril thorn have gone somewhere. Now there is only one "old antique" with a broken tip, how can you deal with it in this dangerous wild?
But he couldn't care about it so much, so he immediately flipped his wrist and took out the soul-destroying thorn that the master gave him. He shouted loudly: "You brute really don't give up! The master fell from such a high place, and he didn't get rid of you?! Come on, the master is not afraid of you!"
shouted loudly, but it startled the other party. Seeing that little Nizi's sincere and frightened appearance, although You Wuxian had a lot of doubts in his heart at this time, his whole body was still tense. Thinking of the demon demon who was hit by the demon corpse on the cliff, the feeling of life and death, and even thoughts being at the mercy of others, now I feel a little scared when I think about it.
He was now lying on the ground like a "straight corpse," and he had to be slaughtered by others? As soon as he stood up, he felt a pain in the back of his head, and he hurriedly stroked the back of his head with both hands.
I only heard his ouch: "Hiss~ strange, even if you fall from above, you won't fall like this, right? Grandma's, it seems that your head has been broken and bloody! Don't be stupid from now on......"
Looking at his strange appearance, Xiao Nizi on the other side couldn't help but blush: when this guy just fell, due to the suddenness of the incident, she was stunned on the spot. Unexpectedly, not long after he sank, he floated up with his back up. Coincidentally, I just drifted to her.
This frightened her into a discoloration and a master of the six gods, so she waved her pink fist in a hurry, and smashed it on You Wuji's head. Fortunately, the latter is blessed with a great life, otherwise she would have been beaten to death by her if she didn't fall to death and drowned......
Fortunately, in the end, she saw that the situation was not right, and quickly pulled him ashore. Speaking of which, he should also be a life-saving benefactor of You Wuxi.
But You Wuxian didn't seem to appreciate it, rubbed the back of his head, and then took a closer look at the environment around him: this was another forest, and behind him was a deep pool, and it seemed that he had fallen from the cliff behind the deep pool.
Looking at the towering cliff, Gollum swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "So high! Fortunately, I didn't fall to my death! The spirit of my parents is blessed by heaven......
His eyes finally fell on the little girl in front of him, and he immediately raised his eyebrows: "Hey, don't think that if you change into a cute girl, the little master will be fooled! Phew! We're not done yet! Come on, show your true colors, let's have a good competition!"
Xiao Nizi on the other side heard it in a fog, and immediately shouted unceremoniously: "Okay, you person! Are you stupid with your head in the water......?" Miss Ben didn't say anything about saving you, but she even spoke ill of you! Later, my subordinates will be cut to pieces!"
At this time, You Wuxian was stunned, and he took a closer look at the little girl opposite: willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, a pair of delicate little faces, and there were still water droplets that could be wiped off in the future, which was even more delicate.
She was just her own age, and she was born very smart, and at this time she was disheveled, and her neck was exposed. Such as finely carved jade. Judging from this, knowing that this might be a trick transformed by the demon corpse, You Wuxian still couldn't help but blush.
As soon as he thought of this, he shook his head and patted his cheek, and then he felt much clearer. But what followed was an indescribable feeling of boredom, accompanied by a slight churning in the stomach.
This is a side effect of being hit by the demons, plus soaking in water, drinking so much raw water, it's no wonder it's not disgusting. But at the moment, the "situation is complicated", at this time, a little girl who is as old as him and disheveled suddenly appeared, he really has no reason to believe that this is not a demon corpse, otherwise how could it be so coincidental.
He couldn't help but pay so much attention to it, so he immediately pointed to the other party's nose and shouted: "Don't think that if you pretend, the master will believe you! Say, what is the purpose of becoming such a cute little girl? Don't think that we will be fooled if you make the 'beauty trick', the master will start to do it later, but it doesn't matter who you are!"
Twice in a row, I heard him describe himself as a "cute little girl", although the other party has been speaking rudely since he woke up. But there seemed to be a hint of magic in this sentence, and she couldn't lift her anger no matter what.
Immediately lowered his head embarrassedly, and unconsciously touched his red face: "You say I'm cute, is this true......?"
As everyone knows, before she finished speaking, You Wuxian on the opposite side couldn't hold back any longer, only felt a burst of overturning in his stomach, and even couldn't help but vomit "wow"~.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Nizi's face was blue and white for a while, and then she stomped her feet with hatred: "Wow, you are a person, Miss Ben saved you without saying thank you~ Could it be that I look so ugly, but you are not ...... It doesn't have to be like this!"
Just when the two of them were suspicious and grinding their mouths for no reason, in the forest behind them, there was a sudden crackling sound, as if someone was coming.
The corners of the little girl's mouth raised, and she immediately smiled at You Wuxian and said, "My people are here! Since I rescued you, Miss Ben doesn't care about your life or death." We're too lazy to spend time here with you, hehe, hee-hee, it's going to be indefinite!"
After saying that, he ran the way he turned to come and go. Unexpectedly, before she took a few steps, the smile on her face froze: she saw figures turn out of the bushes, and these suddenly appeared figures were not her so-called "subordinates", but beast corpses with hideous faces!
