Hot blood flowed out of Ling Xian's body, outlining a huge and complicated formation on the bare land. Tsukimi was lying in the center of this formation, and his originally pale face gradually became a little bloody, as if Tsukimi had just fallen asleep deeply, and now, he would wake up at any time.

Everything seemed to be developing in a good direction, and Ling Xian's pale and somewhat frightening face also squeezed out a smile, but in this dark cave, under the reflection of some dim firelight, in the rolling blood-colored mist, it looked a little hideous.

It was late at night, the moonlight was obscured by dark clouds from nowhere, and there were only a few stars left in the sky, powerlessly trying to cast a little light on the earth, but it was difficult to break through the layers of defense set by the dense trees of the barren forest, and the darkness outside the cave was so deep that it seemed to open a huge mouth to mercilessly devour all the prey sent to the door.

Time passed quietly and silently like flowing water, a trace of exhaustion inevitably appeared on Ling Xian's face, and his originally powerful body became a little shaky, as if he would fall down at any time, Yuejian's face had already recovered as before, and his fair skin was dotted with a trace of ruddy, as if it was a perfect work of art created by God, making every woman jealous of it and every man crazy about it.

It's just that no one noticed that a small black dot appeared on Tsukimi's eyebrows, as if a small ink stain had been left on a beautiful painting, inconspicuous, but the painting was completely torn apart, and it was no longer beautiful.

It may not be said that no one has noticed that the mysterious beast that has been accompanying Ling Xian all the time obviously knows its existence, but he doesn't know why, but he ignores it, and just looks at the night outside, his sharp and deep gaze seems to be able to penetrate the darkness and shoot into the unknown distance.

The night is deeper.

The long wait is the most test of patience, and even the most seasoned hunter's patience will always run out, not to mention that it is such a sweet and completely unguarded prey that appears in front of him. The darkness crept up the walls, silently watching the prey below, the evil tentacles probing and slowly stretching out, and a tight net had inadvertently revealed a hideous face.

The darkness suddenly fell heavily from a height, instantly drowning Ling Xian and Yuejian like a raging tide. The orange firelight, the crimson blood light, were all swallowed in an instant, and there was no room for struggle, and the deep darkness filled the entire cavern.

"No matter how cunning the prey is, it is only the prey after all, and as long as the hunter is patient enough, the prey will not escape. ”

Some abrupt chuckles broke the dead silence of the cave.

"Two little slippery heads, at a young age, they have a bad stomach. ”

There was a hint of ridicule in the laughter of the strange beast, and if you listened carefully, you could still hear the admiration hidden in it.

The conversation and laughter between the two had not completely dissipated, a soft light pierced the darkness, and a huge circular formation appeared in the hole, one of the black shadows was rushing left and right, but it was never able to break through the range of the formation.

Ling Xian stood on the periphery of the formation and quietly watched this black shadow struggle in it, while Yuejian lay quietly in Ling Xian's arms, a pair of bright glasses like starlight in the night, and her long eyelashes drooped slightly, trying to cover the shyness in her eyes, but the faint flush on her face had already betrayed her state of mind. The slender neck of the swan bends in a graceful arc, and if you look down closely, you can see a small jade pendant hidden in a deep valley under this graceful arc.

"It's a good calculation to use the body as bait to lure out this thing in the girl's body, and then use the dream to confuse the other party. ”

Ling Xian couldn't stop admiring the strange beast when he heard it, and said with a shy smile: "It's still thanks to this formation that Yuejian laid out in advance, I don't have the ability to trap this thing on my own." ”

It turned out that Yuejian had already sensed the abnormality in his body when he removed the curse from Ling Xian's body, but at that time, Yuejian had already lost too much spiritual power and vitality, and he was powerless to resist, so he could only secretly lay out a formation and deceive the other party with fake death.

However, Tsukimi didn't expect that this black shadow could enter and leave her body freely, originally she thought that this was just an evil consciousness in her body, and the formation she laid out, to put it bluntly, was actually to trap herself when she couldn't control her body.

Yuejian had planned to have a little time to tell Ling Xian everything after he woke up, but everything that happened next was beyond her expectations, this black shadow seemed to see through her thoughts, and was not deceived by her fake death, and still devoured her remaining spiritual power and vitality after she "died", and escaped from her body and attacked Ling Xian.

Fortunately, the mysterious jade pendant on Ling Xian's body actually blocked the sneak attack of the black shadow, and everything that happened outside was seen by the strange beast and told Ling Xian.

However, the jade pendant could only protect one person, and if Ling Xian chose to save Yuejian, then it was very likely that the weakened Ling Xian would also be taken advantage of by the black shadow.

It was a dead knot, and the only way seemed to be for Ling Xian to leave alone.

"Why did you stay? You can just go......"

Ling Xian looked at Yue Jian in some surprise, but Yue Jian turned his face to the side, not wanting Ling Xian to see what he was thinking.

Ling Xian didn't know what to say, indeed, staying seemed to be a meaningless move at the time, not only could not save Yuejian, but he might even take his own life, after all, Ling Xian didn't know that Yuejian also had a backhand.

Ling Xian suddenly smiled and said, "What about you, aren't you the same, knowing that there may be danger, you still have to help me get rid of the curse in my body." ”

"Me, that's my ......"

"Your mission, isn't it? your mission as a 'leader'?"

Ling Xian looked at Yuejian with a surprised expression, his burning gaze was like a bright and gentle sun, dispelling the darkness and cold around him, and he said vigorously word by word.

"It's my mission to stay, it's my mission to you!"
