Hearing this, Meng Lin chuckled softly, then stood up lightly and continued to climb up to the top of the tree, looking around.

"No!" a crisp voice came from the treetops, startling one after another of flying birds.

A hint of joy and cunning flashed in Xiao Yilan's eyes, and he beckoned Meng Lin to come down repeatedly, looking around and estimating the direction.

Meng Lin landed beside him lightly and asked puzzledly, "What?"

"Maybe we've gotten rid of the shackles of that old thing, and if we go further, we may be able to get out of the extreme south!" Xiao Yilan's eyes couldn't help but glow with joy. When he planned to escape from the Far South before, no matter what direction he went, the towering ancient tree was always in a certain direction of him, standing quietly, and he could never get out of the strange circle centered on him. Now that he can't see the ancient tree, it seems that he is farther away from his clutches.

Meng Lin was not as happy as Xiao Yilan, but asked lightly: "Does Xiao Gongzi really want to leave?"

"Uh, yes, don't you want to go?" Xiao Yilan was a little confused for a while.

"These days, I have been playing in the mountains and forests with Xiao Gongzi, but I have forgotten where this side is. Indulging in the mountains and being isolated from the world is indeed the day I once longed for. ”

"Hey, there is a monster here that has lived for tens of thousands of years and haunts me every day, and if I stay for a long time, I am afraid that I will really be fooled into it. After we leave here, go back to Benhai City, and indulge in the mountains and wilderness, and we are also at ease. Xiao Yilan said with a smile.

"Benhai City, can you accommodate me...... There are only you and me here, but there are thousands of constraints outside...... I don't know......" Meng Lin's expression darkened, and she murmured shallowly.

Xiao Yilan waved his hand and said very confidently: "Don't worry, I have always been careless in Benhai City, with my eldest brother to bear it, it really can't be done, and Xiao Qi's guy and Ying'er, my mother and father have always been by me, but I'm afraid that I will still be looking forward to rolling farther." Before we went south, my mother specially asked me to treat you better!"

Meng Lin's cheeks were slightly red, and she nodded slightly, but there was no smile on her face, as if something was shrouded in her heart and lingered for a long time.

Xiao Yilan stretched out his hand to probe the grass in front of him, groping his way forward, and Meng Lin silently followed behind him. He was cautious along the way, for fear of going the wrong way, and walked back to the ancient tree god.

The two of them walked for an unknown amount of time, and the sky gradually darkened, and the ancient tree that pierced like a nail still did not appear in the field of vision, and even Xiao Yilan himself was a little surprised. But what also surprised him was that the iconic red soil and scattered giant trees of the original extreme south gradually disappeared from view as if they had faded, and gradually turned into the brown earth that Xiao Yilan was familiar with, as well as trees, shrubs and grasses of varying heights and heights.

When the familiar two bifurcated Katoqi rivers appeared in front of him, and on the other side of the river was the land of southern Xinjiang that had made him struggle for months, and at this moment he couldn't wait to cheer.

He jumped up happily and fell into the river, but he didn't notice Meng Lin's bleak expression behind him.

"Beware!"

Before the words fell, a figure broke into Xiao Yilan's field of vision, and through the dark sky that was not completely dark, he saw that the person in front of him was Shangguan Xiang, who had been pestering his group in southern Xinjiang for a long time.

It's just that at this time, Shangguan Xiang's face was full of panic, and the white clothes on his body, which originally looked personable, had been torn into strips of cloth, and were stained with blood and mud, Xiao Yilan was frightened by his appearance, and paddled backwards. Shangguan Xiang jumped into Katuoqi with all his might, swam to the opposite shore with his limbs, and swam straight past Xiao Yilan, as if he didn't see him at all.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yilan understood why Shangguan Xiang was so panicked. A behemoth emerged from the jungle of southern Xinjiang, a sharp and thick horn standing on its head, and the white dots on it were like the cold glow of a sharp sword.

"Ghost Horned Beast!" Xiao Yilan finally reacted, shouted loudly, and then desperately rowed in the direction of turning back.

The ghost horned beast opened its bloody mouth and slammed into Katoqi's river with the momentum of Mount Tai's overwhelming, and the huge water waves splashed out in all directions with its huge body as the center, Xiao Yilan only felt as if he was trapped in a huge whirlpool, no matter how good the water nature he trained in Liyungang, it was difficult to stabilize his body in this violent fluctuation.

The horns of the ghost horn seemed to be close at hand, Xiao Yilan gritted his teeth and didn't look at it, swimming desperately forward, when suddenly something flew over his head, and even the faint sky light was temporarily blocked. Before Xiao Yilan could react, he was pulled out of the water by someone.

Xiao Yilan seemed to be thrown to the ground, he rolled on the ground, then coughed twice suddenly, raised his eyes, but froze.

Behind Meng Lin was a pair of black wings, the feathers standing like thorns, blending into the dark sky like ink. Her slender figure fluttered in the wind like a feather on the river, shuttling and dodging among the ghosthorns and the waves, and from time to time she frustrated her hands into knives and slashed at the ghosthorns, but with little effect, although the ghosthorns were very clumsy, but the skin was rough and thick, and the attack became more and more fierce, and the water splashed like a wave.

"This ......" Xiao Yilan was speechless in surprise.

"Hey...... I said, this girl, can ...... It's very weird ......" Shangguan Xiang had already taken advantage of the opportunity to desperately pounce on the shore, lying on the ground in all directions, panting heavily, and laughing weakly.

"What do you mean?" Xiao Yilan asked with a frown.

Shangguan Xiang gasped and said with a smile: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed." He said, taking a step towards Xiao Yilan's side. Xiao Yilan hurriedly took a step back vigilantly.

"Oh, why is Xiao Gongzi so nervous, we are very safe now, I have calculated it these days, all birds, beasts, ants, insects, and pigs, except for those who were originally born here, even a fly does not dare to step into this extreme southern land, Xu is the tree spirit clan has an extraordinary status in southern Xinjiang. If it weren't for that, these days thanks to the blessing of Xiao Gongzi, I am waiting for this, neither advancing nor retreating, but I can't survive. Shangguan Xiang's feminine voice made Xiao Yilan's hairs stand up.

Seeing that Xiao Yilan was still looking at him vigilantly, but from time to time he couldn't help but glance at Meng Lin, who was in the midst of a fierce battle with the ghost horned beast, and said with a smile: "Xiao Gongzi is worried about this girl, right? ”

"How?" Xiao Yilan asked subconsciously.

Shangguan Xiang smiled and didn't answer, his eyes fell on the battlefield in Katoqili, Xiao Yilan also hurriedly turned his head, for fear that something would happen, but at the moment when he turned his head, Shangguan Xiang suddenly moved, the iron chain he was used to was wrapped around his waist before, and at this moment he pounced like a cheetah, the iron chain was like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, and the internal power ran for a week in a thought, flowing into the chain on his hand, controlling it to envelop Xiao Yilan.

His temporary internal breath mobilization was still a little sluggish, and the internal breath pouring into the iron chain was not strong, but Xiao Yilan was not strong, and he had lost some weight in these days in southern Xinjiang, so under Shangguan Xiang's full effort, his whole body was thrown out and flew straight in the direction of the ghost horned beast. He recognized early on that this kid was Meng Lin's weakness, and only he could force Meng Lin to show his flaws in front of the ghost-horned beast, and this was also his only chance to deal with Meng Lin. The fear of being dominated by that speed still hung over him, as long as Meng Lin was here, he would have no way to live.

As soon as Shangguan Xiang moved, Meng Lin noticed the strangeness here, and the figure of Mo Yu Susheng disappeared into the sky above the river almost in a blink of an eye, and even the ghost horned beast did not react.

The next moment, Meng Lin had already appeared beside Shangguan Xiang, her dark eyes seemed to have no emotion, and her right hand made a knife shape, slashing from top to bottom. Shangguan Xiang's hideous face was stunned for a moment, and with a line of blood that spread rapidly, blood burst out, and Shangguan Xiang's entire right arm was cut off!

Approaching this distance, Shangguan Xiang, who was almost fainting in pain, could barely see clearly that Meng Lin had a short blade in her hand, and the shape was in line with the outline of her palm, so when she made a knife-like hand, it was this short blade that played a role.

However, under the severe pain, a fierce and resolute look flashed in his eyes, and there was a slight hint of mockery. Then he fell to the ground and fainted.

Meng Lin's other hand had already grabbed the end of the iron chain thrown out with Shangguan Xiang's stump, and suddenly flapped his wings, wanting to pull the iron chain back with Xiao Yilan on it. Unexpectedly, she pulled violently, but it was a stumbling one.

It's broken!

Meng Lin looked at the half-cut chain in his hand in a daze, and there were bursts of smoke spitting out of the fracture, and at the other end of the smoke, Xiao Yilan drew a desperate arc with the white smoke, almost falling into the bloody mouth of the ghost horned beast.

In mid-air, Xiao Yilan's expression was still a little inexplicable, and he didn't seem to know the situation in front of him. Meng Lin gritted his teeth, and almost subconsciously the whole person rose again, and with the help of the wind, he appeared between Xiao Yilan and the ghost horned beast.

She puffed out her wings and grabbed Xiao Yilan's shirt with both hands, trying to stop him from rushing forward, but the distance was too short, and Xiao Yilan was already falling, and the speed was getting faster and faster, causing Meng Lin to retreat a little.

Xiao Yilan was in mid-air, turning his head very awkwardly, and he didn't know what was going on around him, but what he knew was that Meng Lin's solemn face suddenly appeared in front of him, as well as the bloody mouth behind this delicate figure that seemed to be close at hand. Xiao Yilan seemed to be able to see the stomach of the ghost horned beast from this mouth, and he suddenly grabbed Meng Lin's hands, as if he wanted to throw her out.

"Go!" he seemed to plead.

Meng Lin's eyes suddenly calmed down, there was no fear and worry, only ten thousand tenderness, rippling from the waves of her eyes like water.

The two looked at each other for a long time.

From those eyes that seemed to contain stars, Xiao Yilan seemed to see the adopted daughter of the Meng family in Pingzhou who was wearing linen clothes but could not hide her demeanor, the girl who blushed like a flower and offered to go with her, and the partner who left everything to accompany her in the best years.

Xiao Yilan never knew that she had such a status in her heart. Thinking that she didn't seem to have done anything for her, perhaps just because she had broken into her life, appeared in her gap when her world fell apart, filled in her suddenly missing companionship, and comforted the grief of loss, she did not hesitate to fall in love with it.

It's pitifully stubborn and resolute.
