Chapter 22: Unrest in the Forest
Chapter 22: Unrest in the Forest (Ask for Collection, Ask for Red Tickets!)
"Wow!" Xiao Sheng and Xinya fell heavily on a lawn.
"Where is this?" Rubbing his aching buttocks, Xiao Sheng stood up and looked at the new environment.
Here is a sea of trees. Towering trees obscured the entire sky. Although the forest is a little dark, the atmosphere created by the sunlight through the green leaves makes the forest feel more warm. Each tree looked to be a certain age, and its trunk was thick enough for a dozen people to enclose. In addition to the trees, there are many unknown plants growing on the ground, ranging from lush bushes to herbaceous plants that grow along the stream. Coming here, Xiao Sheng felt that time had gone back 10,000 years.
It's the first time Xinya has seen such a wonderful scene. Not to mention the memory of its lost life in the darkness of the source of evil, even the thickest tree it had ever seen in the mountains behind the school was nothing compared to any other in this place. Aiming at a cluster of trees in front of her, Xinya fluttered up, and the mattress made of green leaves looked very comfortable.
However, the imagined softness did not come. Because a dark shadow suddenly emerged from the grass and collided with a look of expectation.
"It hurts me!" Xinya rubbed her aching face and squatted on the ground complaining. But the black shadow was not comfortable, and was covering his face vigilantly.
"Heart Beast!" Xinya was taken aback, but she didn't expect to meet a Heart Beast when she first arrived.
"Run!" Xiao Sheng grabbed Xinya and ran lifelessly.
I don't know how long I ran wildly, Xiao Sheng lay under a tree and couldn't stop panting. Fortunately, the heart beast did not chase after it, otherwise a fierce battle would have been inevitable.
"How can there be heart beasts in this forest?" Xinya asked as she patted Xiao Sheng, who was out of breath.
"This is the world I remember, and it's not surprising that there are heart beasts. Xiao Sheng relaxed a little and replied.
"By the way," Xiao Sheng asked, "Since there is a Heart Beast nearby, why can't you feel it?"
"I'm afraid it's the forest that did it. This forest seems to have the magical function of shielding all the breath of the heart beast. The place where the heart beast haunts is really unusual!"
"Now is not the time to sigh!" Xiao Sheng gave Xinya a roll of his eyes, "Let's think more about where to go!"
"Help!" a shrill cry for help pierced the forest's silence. Listening to this voice, it should be not far away.
"Is there anyone?, there are humans in this forest?" Xiao Sheng was taken aback. He immediately ran in the direction of the sound, after all, it was important to save people.
"Xiao Sheng, there's something wrong, hide quickly!" When Xiao Sheng ran to a flat ground surrounded by trees, Xinya threw Xiao Sheng into a bush.
"Who!" a big man poked his head out and yelled into the depths of the jungle.
A hare was so frightened by the sudden roar that it ran away.
"Cut, it turned out to be a rabbit. The Great Khan retreated dismissively.
Xiao Sheng and Xinya, who were hiding in the grass, breathed a sigh of relief.
"Help!" the cry for help rang out again. Xiao Sheng could hear that it was sent by a girl.
Xiao Sheng and Xinya cautiously poked their heads out and saw what was happening on the flat ground.
A girl was being tied to a tree, her eyes clear of tears. There was also an old man lying on the ground, unconscious, with an axe diagonally stuck beside him. The two big men were smiling proudly, and one of them was smiling very obscenely.
Those two big men, one of them was the one who almost found Xiao Sheng just now. And the other has a mysterious snake wrapped around his body.
That snake is not ordinary. It is not like ordinary snakes, spitting letters, and looking cold, on the contrary, it can express its emotions like humans. The snake was snow-white, with markings like words under its head. The strangest thing is that its pupils are actually colorful!
"Sure enough, the serpentine heart beast......" Xinya turned to Xiao Sheng, wanting to talk about his discovery, but saw Xiao Sheng staring at the girl with a look of surprise and worry.
"Xiao Sheng, what's wrong?" Xinya patted Xiao Sheng and asked.
Xiao Sheng loosened his clenched fist, and asked in a trembling voice, "Xinya...... Look at that girl...... Who is it?"
Xinya looked at the girl tied to the tree in confusion, and immediately took a cool breath - that wasn't it...... Moon Spirit?!
At this time, the two big men standing there spoke.
"Hehe, good luck. I didn't expect to meet a little beauty as soon as I went out, haha, not bad, not bad!" The big man with the snake wrapped around his body looked at the girl tied to the tree.
"Big brother has a rare heart beast, this kind of woman, of course, you have to obey and obey you closely!" said another big man.
"But that old man really doesn't know how to lift, Lao Tzu wants to take that little beauty and me back to enjoy the blessings, this old man is desperate, he just doesn't agree. You know what to do!"
"Of course, of course!" The big man who was the little brother walked in front of the unconscious old man and said to the girl tied to the tree: "Little beauty, take a good look, this is the end of resisting my eldest brother!" After speaking, the big man raised his foot and aimed at the old man's head to step on it.
"Don't! don't hurt my grandfather!" the girl closed her eyes in pain, her voice full of despair.
"I'll kick!" Xiao Sheng, who suddenly appeared on it, kicked the big man next to the old man to the ground with the impact force generated when he fell, and fainted on the spot. However, Xiao Sheng didn't get a good deal, and the huge recoil force shook his feet numb, and as a result, when he landed, he didn't stand up well, and he fell and ate.
At the same time, Xinya, who was teleported at the same time, hurriedly transferred the old man.
Looking at Xinya and the old man who suddenly disappeared, the snake man's eyes showed endless greed. He let go of the snake on his body and said to Xiao Sheng: "Being able to suddenly appear and disappear, that's your heart beast, right?" Okay, then I'll kill you, and I'll accept your heart beast unceremoniously!"
After finishing speaking, the eyes of the serpentine heart beast began to fill with dark red light, and after a while, a dark red light shot towards Xiao Sheng.
"Laser, it's too perverted!" Xiao Shenggang wanted to get up and dodge, but unexpectedly found that his foot was broken!
Boom, the light hit Xiao Sheng's place with unmistakable accuracy, and immediately stirred up a large amount of smoke and dust, blocking everyone's sight.
"Haha, it's really vulnerable!" In the smoke and dust, the big man proudly celebrated his so-called victory.
On the tree, the girl watched the appearance of the mysterious boy, first surprised, then hopeful. Especially after the boy's heart beast successfully rescued his grandfather, he was even more relieved. But it hurt to see the boy disappear into the dust like this, and for someone like herself, whom she had never known.
Just when the girl was sad about Xiao Sheng's death, she felt that the rope tied to her body was loosened, and she fell into the arms of a person. As the girl felt strange, an excited voice came over.
"I'm here to save you, let's go!"
The person who came was Xiao Sheng, and of course, Xinya, who rushed to the rescue at the last moment.
But God is not beautiful. The originally peaceful forest suddenly blew a gust of gloomy wind, and the ash that obstructed the view was blown away, and Xiao Sheng and the others were exposed to the Great Han and his serpentine heart beast.
"Good boy, you didn't even die, and you dared to rob my beauty. Look at Lao Tzu who won't scorch you today!" said the big man angrily.
Xiao Sheng subconsciously took the girl behind him, and faced the enemy in front of him with Xinya.
No one knew that in one part of the forest, a heart beast was coming non-stop, towards Xiao Sheng's location.
