Chapter 16: Troubles Continue
At this time, Zhang Yi and Ling'er already felt that something was wrong, and judging by Zhang Xin'er's character, if she came here first, she would definitely wait for Zhang Yi to arrive. Otherwise, if Zhang Yi sees that she is not there and does not admit that she came first, she will lose a lot. And although Zhang Yi and the others were a little delayed, they didn't lag behind for long, and Zhang Xin'er couldn't even wait for this short period of effort. But now I didn't see Zhang Xin, and I didn't see any traces of a fight. Then there is only one possibility, that is, Zhang Xin'er was attracted by something and has entered this wood. What is more attractive than her winning Zhang Yi? Although Zhang Yi and the others are very puzzled, now is not the time to think about this, according to Zhang Xin'er's previous speed, it is likely that she has been in the woods for a while. But she couldn't make a sound, and God knows if she would be in danger. Thinking of this, Zhang Yi and the others no longer hesitated, and after settling the unicorn, they ran directly to the depths of the woods.
When I was outside the woods, I didn't feel anything, but as soon as I entered the woods, I knew why I couldn't see Zhang Xin'er when I was outside. The trees in this forest are so dense that if you are more than 20 meters away from it, you will be blocked by the towering trees that crisscross it. And the trees here are so luxuriant that even in the scorching sun, you can only see a few beams of light like a little starlight in the woods. If you want to find people here, you can either hear the sound and look for the source of the sound, or you can only see the person if you get closer. Seeing this situation, Zhang Yi and the others suddenly felt a little powerless, and it was not easy to find Zhang Xin'er in such a large forest. Just when Ling'er was thinking hard about a good plan, Zhang Yi suddenly said: "Sister Ling'er, I think let's go and look for it separately, in that case, maybe we can find our heart quickly." ”
"No, we can't be separated, the woods are too big and too dense, and it's easy to get lost here once we are separated. At that time, even if one of us finds the heart, we don't have to continue to find the other person. And the quiet in this forest is a little weird, and we don't know what kind of danger lurks, so we have to be together to ensure that we can find our hearts safely. ”
After listening to Ling'er, Zhang Yi also felt that Ling'er was reasonable. He nodded in agreement and walked with Ling'er towards the depths of the woods. After walking for five minutes, Zhang Yi and the others still didn't see Zhang Xin'er's figure, Zhang Yi said a little anxiously: "Where did this stupid girl go, why haven't you found any trace until now, or are we looking in the wrong direction?"
Ling'er also didn't have a clue at all, because they didn't even know where Zhang Xin'er entered the woods from. Now looking in this direction is a judgment made entirely by luck, and I don't know whether it is right or wrong. So Ling'er also said with a little hesitation: "Let's go ahead again, if we can't find it again, we will continue to look in another direction." If you can't find Xin'er before dark, I'm afraid Xin'er will be in danger, so let's speed up. ”
Zhang Yi nodded, and then as soon as his eyes closed, his mental power was already in his center, and it quickly extended outward. Zhang Yi is now cultivating to a peak Dou Master, but his spiritual power is much stronger than that of the peak Dou King, if he uses his spiritual power to detect with all his strength, he can cover a range of up to 100 meters in diameter. However, the method of spiritual detection consumes a lot of spiritual power, and it cannot always maintain the state of release, so it can only be stopped and detected again after walking for a while. Although this method is slow, it is currently the most effective method in this woodland where farsightedness is not possible.
Zhang Xin'er stayed by Zhang Yi's side and waited for the results of his search, and Zhang Yi suddenly opened his eyes. happily said to Ling'er: "Found it! She hasn't encountered any danger over there yet, as if she is observing something." ”
Knowing that Xin'er was not in danger, Ling'er was also overjoyed, so he didn't stay anymore and quickly chased after the direction pointed out by Zhang Yi. In order to prevent the loss of Zhang Xin'er's goal, Zhang Yi has maintained a state of release without caring about consuming mental power. It also happened that Zhang Xin'er's location was just more than ninety meters away from the location Zhang Yi had just searched, and if Zhang Yi was a little farther away, they would have missed the opportunity to find Zhang Xin'er. Zhang Yi couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart, but he was a little annoyed. As soon as this stupid girl left the organization, she began to act on her own, and she didn't know how much trouble she would bring to the organization! Later, she would have to give her a good lesson in thought, and let her know what the price of disobeying the organization's arrangements would be.
Just when Zhang Yi was thinking about how to punish Zhang Xin'er, the two of them could already see Zhang Xin'er's figure, and at this time she was lying on the huge branch of a big tree, as if looking down at something. Zhang Yi and the others were afraid of startling her, so they quietly came to the branch where Zhang Xin'er was, but the stupid girl didn't notice the arrival of the two of them at all, and was still looking down intently.
Seeing that Zhang Xin'er was intact, Zhang Yi and the others were relieved, but the more Zhang Yi looked at Zhang Xin'er, the more angry they became. He and Ling'er were worried about her safety, but she was not only not at all, but also here to watch with great interest. Zhang Yi scolded angrily in his heart: "I dare to act alone with this vigilance, I really don't know where she got the courage." ”
Zhang Yi adjusted his breathing and tried to calm the anger in his heart, but he still failed. Stretched out two fingers and knocked Zhang Xin'er's head. Zhang Xin'er felt a pain in her head and reacted immediately. Got up, stepped back, drew her sword, and a series of movements flowed, but she forgot that she was now standing on a branch, and under this retreat, one foot lost its support point, and her whole body fell straight down the branch before she could react because she retreated too quickly. The branch where Zhang Xin'er is located is at least 20 meters high, and if it falls, Rao is a good cultivator, and she will have to break a few bones.
Zhang Xin'er has never experienced this kind of thing, and she panicked for a while and didn't know what to do. You can only use the special skill "Scream", which girls are born with. Zhang Xin'er's body really stopped in a burst of screams that pierced her eardrums, but she was able to stop not because of the shock wave generated by her special move, but because Zhang Yi grabbed her hand at the last moment.
Zhang Yi said with a painful expression: "I said that eldest sister, if you call me again, you will have to let go." ”
Although he said this, he was not slow at all, and with a slight force, he lifted Zhang Xin'er, who was less than a hundred catties, up. While lifting Zhang Xin'er up, he muttered, what does this girl eat all day, why is it so light!
After Zhang Xin'er was brought up, she saw that it was Zhang Yi and them, and she was relieved. However, he didn't forget to glare at Zhang Yi fiercely, and was very dissatisfied with Zhang Yi's behavior of almost scaring her to death.
Zhang Yi was also angry and just wanted to teach her a few words, a crossbow arrow shot at Zhang Xin'er, who had not yet stood firm, Zhang Yi reacted very quickly, one hand quickly took Zhang Xin'er into his arms, and the other hand grabbed the crossbow arrow that flew in. Zhang Xin'er was hugged by Zhang Yi before she had time to scream, and just as she wanted to kick Zhang Yi away, she saw the crossbow arrow in Zhang Yi's hand. I immediately understood that I had misunderstood Zhang Yi, and I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. However, Zhang Yi laughed at this time: "The power of your screaming is much more powerful than your fighting skills." ”
Hearing Zhang Yi say this, Zhang Xin'er, who was still guilty because of the misunderstanding of Zhang Yi, swept away the guilt, and pushed Zhang Yi away fiercely, with a look of indignation. Zhang Yi wanted to tease her a few more words, but a middle-aged man's voice came from not far away.
"I don't know what a few friends have to do all the way here? ”
Hearing someone speak, Zhang Yi noticed that there was a group of people standing in a clearing not far from them, about thirty people with weapons in their hands, and everyone had a bad face, and they knew at a glance that they were all ruthless characters.
Zhang Yi only now figured out that Zhang Xin'er came to the depths of the woods alone to watch the excitement. A sense of powerlessness rose in Zhang Yi's heart. I wonder if curiosity kills people. But then again, how did Zhang Xin'er find these people in such a deep woods?
Zhang Yi was very curious about how Zhang Xin'er found these people, so he looked at Zhang Xin'er with an inquiring eye, and Zhang Xin'er also knew that now was not the time to be angry, so he briefly explained what happened to Zhang Yi.
It turned out that after he made a bet with Zhang Yi, Zhang Xin'er didn't know whether Zhang Yi would ride a unicorn, in order to win Zhang Yi, she controlled the unicorn at full speed, so she arrived a long time earlier than Zhang Yi and them, at the beginning, because of winning Zhang Yi, she was also full of joy at the edge of the woods waiting for Zhang Yi and them to chase after them. But she waited for ten minutes and still didn't see Zhang Yi and the others, but she waited for the group of people in front of her. There were more of them than there were standing people, but they were two groups, a group of men with fierce faces who were hunting down a dozen people dressed as merchants. Driven by curiosity, Zhang Xin'er hid the unicorn and followed it all the way, and when he chased here, there were only two people left in the group of merchants, a man and a woman, and now they have been surrounded by groups and it is a matter of time before they are captured. Later, Zhang Yi and the others came.
After listening to Zhang Xin'er's narration, Zhang Yi was very worried about the unicorn she was riding, so he asked, "Where did you hide the unicorn?" Why didn't we see it when we chased it all the way?"
Faced with Zhang Yi's question, Zhang Xin'er looked a little proud, she felt that it was a very smart decision to hide the unicorn, so she said to Zhang Yi: "You didn't find it, because I hid her in the ...... Tucked away in ......"
Zhang Xin'er was still smug just now, but now she did have a question on her face, and after a while, she became puzzled.
Zhang Yi saw that Zhang Xin'er seemed to be changing her face and changing various expressions, and suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart, and hurriedly urged Zhang Xin'er to ask: "Where is it hidden, have you forgotten?" ”
Zhang Xin'er did have a look of affirmation.
"I haven't forgotten, I remember it very well, but I can't find the cloud I used as a marker. Help me find a cloud like a small flower. ”
Hearing Zhang Xin'er's words, Zhang Yi almost didn't come up in one breath. What kind of people are these, why didn't I find out that Xin'er is still a natural fool. Fortunately, he had already lost two unicorns before he arrived in the city, and Zhang Yi suddenly felt that the future of this trip to the Sea Soul Academy was dark......
