Chapter 34: The Little Boy and the Little Girl
Chapter 34: Little Boys and Little Girls
"Fire, goodbye, we're leaving. Bidding farewell to the fire that was sleeping in the huge mountain range behind him, Xiao Sheng led the group and embarked on the journey again.
As soon as she stepped out of the mountains, Moon Ling stepped out of her feet, and when she landed, she did not feel the softness and looseness of the usual land, but the rock-like hardness and unevenness of the texture. Moon Spirit looked down and found herself stepping on a large iron shield.
"Lord Xiao Sheng, do you think this is?" Yue Ling hurriedly shouted to Xiao Sheng, who was walking in front of him.
Xiao Sheng turned around and walked towards the place where the moon spirit was pointing.
"Shield?" Xiao Sheng felt strange, you know, this place, it is difficult for humans to enter. If it wasn't made by humans, would it still be a heart beast?
"No matter, this thing is too heavy, and it's useless in front of the ability of the heart beast, so let it stay here!" Xiao Sheng thought for a while and said.
In this way, this incident was passed by everyone as a small episode.
"What a big tree!" I don't know how long I walked, and a towering ancient tree in the distance entered the sight of Xiao Sheng and the others.
Xiao Sheng and the others were stopping to look at the spectacular scenery in the distance, a little boy pulled a little girl, and ran towards Xiao Sheng and them in a panic, looking back from time to time as they ran, as if something was chasing them. Seeing Xiao Sheng, the little boy immediately stopped, took the little girl behind him in his arms, and looked at Xiao Sheng and them vigilantly.
"Humans, how can there be humans here?" Xiao Sheng said in surprise.
"Stop!" Xiao Sheng was about to send Yue Ling, an amiable-looking big sister, to comfort and comfort the two frightened children, when a big man's rough voice came from behind the children.
"What's going on?" Yue Ling stopped and looked at Xiao Sheng suspiciously.
Boom, a small bolt of lightning flashed behind the child and slammed into a nearby tree. The tree was immediately cut into a black gap.
The little boy hugged the little girl in his arms tighter, and the little girl shivered in the boy's arms, with a little tear in the corner of her eye, and looked frightened.
"Lightning, Heart Beast!" Looking at the clear sky, Xiao Sheng knew that it was unlikely to be natural lightning, but it was possible that the Heart Beast that could generate electricity existed.
"No matter what mistakes they made, bullying two ignorant children like this is too much to say!" Yue Ling looked at the two unidentified children with pity, and said a little angrily.
"Xinya, it's up to you to pull them over!" Xiao Sheng turned to Xinya and winked.
"Understood!" Xinya didn't say a word, and teleported the two who were a little surprised behind the moon spirit.
As soon as Xinya transferred the two of them over, the heart beast that could generate electricity and his master appeared in Xiao Sheng's eyes.
It was a big man with an evil face, and a necklace made of human skulls around his neck. And the heart beast next to him flashed sparks from time to time, and the arc of electricity that appeared from time to time made a crackling sound in the air, and the triangular head showed that this heart beast was not a good one.
"Oh, you also have heart beasts, could it be the rescuers brought by these two little ghosts?" the big man's thick voice made people a little uncomfortable to hear.
"We're just passing through. In view of the fact that the other party was a little difficult to deal with, Xiao Sheng had no choice but not to have a head-on conflict with him for the time being. "However, you are a big man and bully two children, what is this!"
"I just want that little girl, but I didn't expect that little boy to let me touch her! Obviously, the treasure is within reach!" said the big man, his voice began to become a little greedy and hungry. In the blink of an eye, he regained his fierce and vicious appearance, "Acquaintances, hurry up, maybe I can still spare you regardless of the villain." Otherwise, don't blame me for electrifying you to coke!"
The little boy behind Yue Ling seemed to understand that Xiao Sheng was not in the same group as that big man. He raised his head and looked at Yue Ling and Xiao Sheng pitifully, begging them to protect him.
"There's no way, it's difficult!" Xiao Sheng shook his head and said.
Without waiting for Xiao Sheng to speak, Xi Yan took a step forward and entered the standby state.
The current Xi Yan is the peak of the third rank, and the other party's heart beast seems to be only about the second rank. Although Xi Yan has an advantage in the rank, the other party is a heart beast that is good at using electricity. You know, lightning is much stronger than fire in terms of speed and power!
"Xinya, it looks like you're going to go too. Xiao Sheng turned around and shouted Xinya.
"Me?" said Xinya, gesturing at herself. "But I can't do anything other than spatial movement! You don't want me to teleport directly to that Lei Gong and knock him down? Before I can do it, I will be electrocuted myself!"
"That's the case......" Xiao Sheng simply said the task given to Xinya, and then, he nervously faced the big man who had been waiting impatiently and rushed over.
With a snapping sound, a fiery red bolt of lightning slashed head-on, but fortunately, Xi Yan's eyes were quick and he created a small fire shield in a short time to resist the attack. However, the power of lightning is indeed not comparable to that of a mere flame, although it resisted the terrifying lightning, and the fire shield was also shattered into slag.
"It's so dangerous!" Xiao Sheng was scared in his heart. Now, he can only pray that Xinya will be able to get back what he needs.
But before Xi Yan could catch his breath, a more fierce offensive came. This time, the other party released three lightning bolts at once, which were darker in color and larger in size than before. The worst thing is that there is only one lightning aimed at Xi Yan, and there are two lightning bolts aimed at the defenseless Xiao Sheng!
Even if Xi Yan still had the strength to protect Xiao Sheng after preventing the lightning aimed at him, but to prevent two more lightning bolts, there would only be three words - impossible!
Boom - The lightning that hit Xi Yan collided with the fire shield, making a big noise. However, due to the more powerful lightning this time, the residual electricity after resisting still temporarily lost consciousness in the body part of Xi Yan's body.
Seeing Xi Yan's somewhat painful expression, Dahan was simply happy. He had already seen that Xiao Sheng was the backbone of these people. That's why he spent more effort to bombard Xiao Sheng, a human being. Even the attack that the heart beast can't eat, how can Xiao Sheng, a human with flesh and blood, stand it.
Boom - a loud sound rang out. But there was a crisp sound of metal colliding in the sound.
"Lord Xiao Sheng!" Yue Lingxin, who was watching the battle from a distance, raised his throat. Equally nervous were the two children.
"It's ...... Iron Shield?" Xi Yan, who was closest to Xiao Sheng, looked at the familiar iron shield that suddenly appeared, and was a little confused.
"I'm scared to death! You're here at the right time!" The smoke cleared, and Xiao Sheng and Xinya walked out from behind the iron shield.
"How is that possible? Where did this shield come from?
"Hey, don't you know that iron can conduct electricity!" Xiao Sheng turned his head and looked at the big man with contempt. "Just channel your attacks underground, won't you be fine!"
"Uh...... Sneered...... "Dahan didn't expect that his moves would be cracked like this." At the same time, a sense of crisis also appeared in his heart.
"Xinya, you cover Xiyan for a counterattack! Pay attention to let the iron shield come into contact with the earth!" Xiao Sheng didn't say much, and immediately organized a counterattack.
Xinya teleported the iron shield and channeled the lightning that slashed at Xi Yan again and again, and it didn't take long for Xi Yan to appear in front of Dahan's eyes.
Xi Yan had already exerted his strength at this time, and the blazing flames instantly burned the big man and his heart beast with despair in his eyes. The flames receded, and the two were gone.
"Win!" The little boy and girl were also unaware and unapproachable, and they were cheering for Xiao Sheng's victory.
"Who the hell are you?" Xiao Sheng walked over and asked a question he had wanted to ask for a long time.
"Thank you for saving us! My name is Eli, and she's my sister, Mu'er. The boy bowed to Xiao Sheng and said.
"How did you mess with that guy?" asked Xi Yan.
"It's so cute!" Before the boy could reply, the little girl looked at Xi Yan with a look of affection, and could see that she was suppressing her urge to touch Xi Yan.
"The man said it just now, it's because of my sister. The boy gently patted the girl on the head, signaling her to be polite. At the same time, he answered Xiao Sheng's question in a somewhat sad voice.
"What other treasures did that person say?" Xiao Sheng recalled.
"Uh-huh!" the boy seemed to be sensitive to the word, and he couldn't help but hug Mu'er in his arms. It seems that the big man is not the only one who wants the treasure.
"It's a bit complicated to say. The boy was silent for a moment and then said. "Near that big tree, there's the town where I live, and if I go back now, I'll be there before dark. If you don't mind, we'll go back and talk about it!"
"There are still villages and towns here?!A gathering place for humans?" Xi Yan felt incredible, with the existence of an enchantment, how could there be so many people here!
"Well, our town has been around for a long time, and our ancestors have seen many heart beasts working together to create something. Since then, it has lost contact with the outside world. Speaking of which, you're the first human to come here!" the boy explained.
"No wonder ......," Xi Yan said.
"This town has such a long history, maybe there is something to be gained there. With this mentality, Xiao Sheng agreed to the little boy's request.
The group walked towards the mysterious town under the big tree.
