Chapter VIII

Lola stood there with her eyes reflecting the slowly enlarged flower mushroom caps, Able ran wildly with her eyes on her face, and Tis was stupid - time seemed to freeze, all of this was happening very slowly, and Lola was about to die.

Suddenly, a person quickly rushed out of the spur, crossed his arms in front of his chest, blocked in front of Lola, and after withstanding the impact of the flower mushroom, the whole person flew out.

Abel had arrived, roaring and slashing at the flower mushroom with all his might, splitting it with a single blow. At the same time, Tis also reacted and quickly ran towards Lin Juexiao, who flew out, holding a bottle of red potion in his hand.

Lin Juexiao's arms were completely fractured, and they had sunk into them at a strange angle, and this price was not enough for him to counteract the impact of the flower mushroom - his sternum was also broken three times, his internal organs were violently shaken, and blood was spitting from his mouth.

Tis opened the red potion, put the mouth of the bottle to Lin Juexiao's mouth, and said urgently: "Lin Juexiao, drink it quickly, it's still too late, hurry!" Lin Juexiao endured the sharp pain in his chest, and swallowed the red potion in a big gulp, those red potions and blood mixed together, forming a strange taste, but it worked—the fractures of both arms and chest were quickly repaired under the power of the red potion, and the internal organs that had been shocked also recovered quickly.

Lin Juexiao sat up with support, coughed violently, slowed down, and exhaled a long breath.

Tees also breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down, and said, "I was almost scared to death by you - fortunately, it was the damage caused by the monster, and I was saved by drinking the potion immediately." ”

At this time, Abel and Lola had also arrived, and Abel hurriedly asked, "How is it?" He was grateful to Lin Juexiao for working so hard to save his sister, and at this time he was very worried about him as a companion who could be entrusted with life and death.

Lin Juexiao had fully recovered and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm fine." ”

Seeing that he was safe and sound, Able relieved himself and immediately said, "Get out of here quickly, it's safer to go to the snail forest." ”

The group went to the safety of the snail forest to rest, and the surrounding was quiet, except for the occasional cry of the birds in the forest, and the sound echoed in the silence of the woodland.

Lola's eyes were red, and she flattened her mouth and said, "Yes...... I'm sorry, Lin Juexiao...... It's all my fault," she said, sobbing and tears streaming down her face, "it's all my fault that you were hurt...... Sorry ......"

"No, it's my fault!" Tees said ashamedly, "if I could have noticed the flower mushroom hiding behind the boulder's corner, I wouldn't have put everyone in such a dangerous situation." ”

"Hehe, what are you talking about-" Lin Juexiao said with a smile, "Speaking of which, it's because my strength is too weak that I'm so weak." ”

"No, it's my fault. Teese was adamant about his responsibility—he had indeed been negligent just now, "As the scout of the team, I should have provided complete environmental intelligence, and if it wasn't for my negligence, I wouldn't have done that...... I'm sorry. He lowered his head, and he, who had always liked to joke, was extremely serious and low at this time.

Able touched Lola's head, but at this time, Lola threw herself into Lin Juexiao's arms and kept saying, "I'm sorry...... It's all my ......" rubbed the tears and snot of his clothes.

Lin Juexiao couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "Okay, you two - I know." We're all companions, so what's wrong with each other?"

Tis raised his head, not half a minute of his usual cynicism, and said extremely seriously: "I promise, I will complete the task absolutely meticulously in the future." ”

"I believe in you. Lin Juexiao also said seriously.

Lola raised her head, only to find that everyone was looking at her, and Pear Blossom's rainy face suddenly turned into a red apple, and she fled back to her brother in a panic, lowering her head and not speaking. The other three all laughed.

Abel said, "Let's go back to Rainbow Village first." As he said that he was about to stand up, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his thigh when he got up, and he fell to the ground.

Everyone was taken aback, and hurriedly asked the reason - Abel said helplessly: "I used my leg muscles too much just now, and it is estimated that the tissue was injured and I can't recover for a while." ”

Lin Juexiao said: "Lola and I helped Able, and Tis found a safe route to take us back." ”

"No problem, leave it to me. Tees' trademark smile returned.

Unconsciously, Lin Juexiao's behavior of sacrificing himself to save his companions just now has made everyone subconsciously willing to trust him, and in this invisible recognition, he has slowly become the core of the team, bringing everyone together.

Lin Juexiao and Lola helped Able to move forward slowly, Tees carefully searched for a safe route in the snail forest, and when the group returned to Rainbow Village smoothly, it was almost dark.

The afterglow of the setting sun permeates Rainbow Village in the evening, and the whole village is shrouded in a peaceful and calm dusk. The shadows of the mushroom house were stretched long, the shadows of the trees were stretched, and the shadows of the four adventurers were also stretched.

Some of the adventurers saw the tragic situation of the four adventurers who had entered the village, and said to their companions: "These newcomers really don't know whether they are alive or dead, and they are actually going to trouble the flower mushrooms." ”

"I'm lucky to come back alive. Another adventurer laughed.

"Haha!"

After Lin Juexiao and Lola helped Abel to his bed and let him recover from his injuries, Lola went to prepare dinner, and Tees, when he was about to return to the village, caught two big gray geese.

In the mushroom room, Able was silent for a while and said, "I'm grateful to you for saving Lola, if it weren't for you......"

Lin Juexiao interrupted him: "Okay, don't mention it again." ”

Able smiled and said, "I'm not very good at talking. ”

"When will your leg injury heal?" Lin Juexiao asked.

"It should take about two days. Abel thought for a moment and said.

"In this state, can you still teach fighting spirit?"

"Yes, it doesn't matter. ”

Lin Juexiao said with a smile: "Okay, let you rest tonight first, and start teaching me tomorrow." ”

Able also smiled: "No problem. ”

After dinner, all but Abel rested in the room, and the other three sat outside by the campfire. Not only them, but other adventurers also gathered in their respective clearings to talk about the events of the day.

"The skin of that flower mushroom today is so thick, I can't get rid of it!" a man with long hair sighed.

A strong man next to him smiled: "Your fighting spirit is so bad, the red snail alone is enough for you to fight." ”

"Hey, it can't be helped, it seems that the only way to do this is to collect snail shells for the trials in Mecca. ”

These adventurers chatted about all kinds of interesting things, some even said that they saw a red snail the size of a house from a distance, and others said that he bragged - Lin Juexiao couldn't help but laugh when he listened.

Tees had already mingled with the adventurers and chatted, leaving Lin Juexiao and Lola around the campfire. Lola suddenly smiled when she saw Lin Juexiao, and asked in a low voice but curiously, "...... What are you laughing at?"

"Huh?" Lin Juexiao was a little surprised, this was the first time Lola took the initiative to ask him.

"I'm listening to other adventurers. There was a man who said he saw a red snail the size of a house, and his friends said he was bragging. ”

Lola pursed her lips and smiled, then said a little scared, "Is there a red snail like that?"

"Who knows-" Lin Juexiao smiled, "I hope there is." ”

"Ah......" said Loracy, "why...... Isn't it scary to have a red snail that big?"

It seems that after today's events, this little girl who is afraid of life has opened her heart to her companions and is willing to talk. Lin Juexiao thought to herself, feeling very happy for her.

"But it's also interesting, isn't it?" Lin Juexiao said, "Think about it, such a big red snail must be spectacular—this is the joy of adventure, full of novelties that have never been seen before." ”

Lola curled the corners of her mouth and smiled, "Lin Juexiao is the same as my brother...... My brother always said, 'If you stay where you know everything, then life is meaningless.'" ”

"Oh-" Lin Juexiao dragged on the word, expressing surprise, "I can't see that the steady gentle giant also has this kind of adventurous spirit-" After saying that, he remembered the rage of the two of them when Able rescued Lola today.

"My brother likes to play everywhere since he was a child, and he doesn't listen to his parents at all. Recently, he said that he didn't want to be a general at all, so he ran out...... No matter where my brother goes, I always follow him. When Lola said the last sentence, she seemed a little embarrassed about her dependence on her brother.

"General?" Lin Juexiao said curiously.

“...... Well. Dad is our general there, so I want my brother to train his martial arts from an early age...... Everyone had great expectations for my brother, saying that he would become the one who surpassed his father...... Recently, there has been more and more control over my brother in the family, so we ......"

"Oh, I see. "It seems that Abel is a person who pursues freedom in his bones, Lin Juexiao thought to himself.

The two men around the campfire were silent for a moment. The pile of firewood burned and made a "crackling" sound, and the light of the fire was reflected on the faces of the two men. Not far away, the other adventurers were talking, and Tees was telling a joke, which caused them to laugh.

"Isn't Lin Juexiao afraid? At that time—" Lola said suddenly.

"Huh?" Lin Juexiao was stunned for a moment, and then understood that she was talking about today's flower mushrooms, so she smiled: "At that time, I didn't have time to be afraid, and I rushed up before I could figure it out—now I regret it, I really shouldn't have paid attention to Lola." ”

Lola was a little dazed when she heard this. Seeing this, Lin Juexiao laughed and said: "Lie to you - in fact, I already thought about it at that time - it was a monster attack, although it was powerful, as long as I resisted, it would not make my soul out of my body at once, and I would soon recover with the red potion that Tees brought on my body; That's why I made this decision, and it wasn't that great. ”

"Ah...... Lola wondered, "have you thought of so many things in such a short time?"

Lin Juexiao yawned and said, "Yes~ah~ Naturally, that's it." ”

Lola thought to herself: It's incredible, everyone was in a daze at that time.

"I want to sleep, there's so much going on today. Lin Juexiao stood up and said.

"Hmm. ”

Only Lin Juexiao knows what "too many things" means. He dragged his tired body into the mushroom room, lay on the wooden bed and quickly fell asleep.
