Meng Lin turned her head, and the sorrow on her face became even stronger. Li Zheng sighed softly, took off his coat and put it on Luo Yu's corpse. He wanted to dig a pit for him to settle in, but he couldn't bear or want to move Luo Yu's already fragmented body, so he had to settle in a hurry.

The two looked around again, but found nothing until noon. Li Zheng was already sore, and he couldn't hold on any longer, so he sat down on the ground, sweating profusely from the heat. Meng Lin walked to the river alone, hesitated and whispered: "Brother Li, I have this blood and mud on my body, I want to wash in the river, can I trouble you......" She said with a slightly red face and lowered her head.

Her body is indeed full of mud and blood now, plus the weather is hot, her body is sweaty, and her clothes are completely attached to her body, so she is naturally very uncomfortable, Li Zheng was stunned for a moment, and said with some embarrassment: "Oh...... Oh okay......" Then he quickly turned around, away from the shore, leaned against a tree, turned his back to Meng Lin's direction, but he didn't dare to go far, this place, the two of them took care of each other to feel at ease.

Then Li Zheng heard the sound of undressing, and his heart beat faster, and he couldn't help but think about it. Immediately after that, there was a sound of gently treading water from behind, and it should be Meng Lin rowing into the middle of the river.

Li Zheng listened to the sound of water sliding against his skin behind him, and his heart was like a cat scratching, but he still tried to resist his urge to turn around.

The sound of running water did not stop, but Li Zheng immediately heard a dull roar, which was deafening, mixed with the roar of air waves. This voice Li Zheng is very familiar, that day in front of the white mang's rhinoceros, this roar is a talisman, like a horn for reunion, which means that the charging Bai mang's rhino is close at hand.

Li Zheng suddenly changed color, and subconsciously turned around quickly, but what caught his eye was a white rhinoceros jumping out of the river, it still had a long wound on its head, and the blood flowed, it should be hidden in the water after the injury and had not yet lost its breath. In Li Zheng's field of vision, there was also Meng Lin in front of him, who was alone.

Just by a glance, Li Zheng felt his blood in his heart, and he could clearly hear his heavy snort. Meng Lin stood naked in the middle of the river, her back as white as jade, her weak and round fragrant shoulders, and even her waist above the water, which suddenly caught her eyes in Li Zheng's eyes. But the most bizarre thing is that Meng Lin's white back is printed with a tattoo as black as ink, which is a pair of wings, on the back, one left and one right, and the feathers are like swords.

The next scene made Li Zheng even more dumbfounded. Meng Lin's delicate body suddenly flashed away like a ghost, Li Zheng couldn't see her figure clearly, and the next moment, Meng Lin appeared on the head of this white rhinoceros, her right hand was in the shape of a knife, and she actually inserted her hand into the wound on the head of the white rhinoceros!

Meng Lin's hand knife pierced through Bai Mangxi's brain, stirring violently inside. The white rhinoceros was dying, its huge body making a splash of water, surging like waves, and the river with the blood left on its head rippled away with its violent movements, forming a circle of red water waves. In the end, it still collapsed weakly, and its vitality passed, and Meng Lin pulled out his arm, and his entire right arm was stained bright red with blood.

Before Li Zheng could react, Meng Lin dived into the water again, and her entire body was hidden below the surface of the water, only her head was exposed. She faced Li Zheng in front of her, her face was fiery red, red all the way to her neck, and she didn't know if it was the blush on her face or the blood stained with it, she lowered her eyelids, not daring to look at Li Zheng.

Li Zheng was stunned, and only after a while did he remember to look away.

"Brother Li...... You ......" Meng Lin was the first to speak.

Li Zheng hurriedly said, "You ...... You...... Don't worry, I don't see anything......"

Meng Lin's head hung lower. Li Zheng then comforted: "The girl doesn't have to care...... I've always had a bad brain, and I forgot something after a while......" He laughed dryly, and his mouth felt dry.

"Today's matter, trouble Brother Li, don't tell Xiao Gongzi......" Meng Lin slowly raised his head, "Is it okay?"

Li Zheng was stunned for a moment, a little annoyed for no reason, and asked knowingly: "Is it the girl's vigorous skills that have been hidden for a long time, or is it my accident to offend the girl today?"

Meng Lin's face was as red as blood, but he still looked at Li Zheng and said timidly: "It's all ...... Don't even ...... better."

Amusing. Suddenly, a voice sounded in the depths of Li Zheng's heart, and even he didn't know what it meant.

The corners of his mouth grinned, and he smiled softly: "I promise the girl that it is." Before the words fell, he suddenly noticed a panicked look flashing on Meng Lin's face, and shouted loudly: "Be careful!" He reacted suddenly, the iron sword in his hand swept back, and before he could turn around, he suddenly felt a pain in his vest, he lowered his head, only to see a sharp and dagger-like thing leaking out of his chest.

There was another sharp pain, and the sharp blade he drew brought up a puddle of blood, but everything was close to gray in his eyes. Li Zheng felt dizzy and fell to the ground. Seeing Meng Lin in a panic, only one head was still exposed in the water, gradually approaching the shore to dress, and Shangguan Xiang's soft laughter sounded in his ears. Then he passed out.

......

Xiao Yilan faintly felt dew dripping on his face. He slowly opened his eyes, and there were many branches of different thicknesses in front of him, but they were unexpectedly neat, like the beams of a building, and the branches sticking out from both sides crossed diagonally like fishbones.

He looked out through the branches, a river passed not far from him, and the banks were full of towering trees, but they were separated by many distances, leaving an empty space in between, and the sunlight poured down through the gaps, which was completely different from the scene that Xiao Yilan had been accustomed to before when the trees were dense enough to even block the daylight. It seems that this place is some distance away from the place where the white rhino group was encountered that day, and Xiao Yilan has no impression of the place he is in now.

He suddenly noticed that something around him had wrapped himself up. He stood up and pushed the row of fishbone twigs away from him. As soon as his hand touched the row of branches, the entire skeleton fell apart and scattered in all directions. He was startled, his whole body shrank back, his steps unconsciously retreated, and he stepped on the air, and suddenly found that the potholes under him were not flat, and it seemed to be a human form.

He looked down at him, then couldn't help but cover his mouth to avoid screaming.

Its body is still as shriveled and dehydrated as when it encountered the white rhino group that day, and now it is full of holes, I don't know how many times it has been pushed by the white rhino horns, and some holes have even penetrated its body, Xiao Yilan can even see the soil on the ground through these holes. But there was no blood on these wounds. Xiao Yilan's whole body was lying on the wood before, and the branches and vines sticking out of the wood's hands and feet stretched upward, surrounding Xiao Yilan. It seems that it is to protect Xiao Yilan from the impact of the white rhinoceros, turning himself into a ball and protecting Xiao Yilan inside.

Xiao Yilan suddenly had an ominous premonition, and looked up along the body of the wood. I saw two black and oily jewel-like beads inlaid on a wooden stake, but it was completely different from the smart and natural appearance of the past, as if something in the gem had died, and now it looked like two black mud balls, completely dull.

"Huh...... What's wrong with you...... wood Don't scare me......" Xiao Yilan's voice was slightly crying, and he shook back and forth on the face of the wood, but the two round beads still didn't react, but the branches and vines that stretched out from it all fell off.

He then thought of something, and hurriedly took out two tree spirit life beads from his arms and brought them to the wood. These two life beads came to southern Xinjiang with Xiao Yilan, and it was only a month or two, and now the life beads have no change except for being washed by rain and dew and have a little luster, except that they are not as turbid as before, and they are still so dull in color.

The life bead was in front of the wood, there was no reaction, and it was not as bright as before, Xiao Yilan became more and more flustered, and the corners of his eyes were a little moist. Suddenly, the blue light on the wood flashed, Xiao Yilan was overjoyed, and he was about to help it up, but then he found that the blue light on the wood gradually rose, projecting directly above the wood's body, becoming more and more intense, and finally condensed into a solid shape, becoming the shape of a dark green bead, while the wood's body became more and more shriveled, and finally almost like dead wood.

Xiao Yilan watched the life bead gradually take shape, he had gradually guessed, but he was afraid that he was powerless to return to the sky, the whole person was stunned, his heart was very uncomfortable, and a wave of guilt and loss swept over.

"It's dead. Suddenly, an ethereal female voice sounded in her ears, empty without a trace of emotion. The voice was familiar, exactly the same as that day outside Yangxun City. Xiao Yilan was startled, and turned around and stood up.

A woman stood not far away, her eyes were as ethereal as her voice, she looked about fifty years old, but her charm was still there, and her body was graceful. There was no wind in all directions, and the woman's waist-length hair and skirt were fluttering as if there was no wind, and even her feet seemed to be light and weightless although they were on the ground.

"Are you ......" Xiao Yilan asked suspiciously, and the curiosity in his heart suddenly overwhelmed his vigilance against this woman.

"We've seen it. The female voice continued, "When I am in the Far South, when you are still thousands of miles away. ”

Xiao Yilan thought about it carefully, and all kinds of abnormalities that happened on the wood outside Yangxun City that day suddenly flashed in front of Xiao Yilan's eyes, and he couldn't help asking, "It was you who said you wanted to see me that day?"

The woman's gaze slowly shifted to the remains of the wood on the ground, and said slowly, "Its mission is accomplished. ”

"What bullshit mission!" Xiao Yilan suddenly scolded, "You spent so many twists and turns to take the lives of two tree spirits just to bring me to this extreme southern land?"

The expression on the woman's face did not change in the slightest, she looked at Xiao Yilan again, and said, "I just came out to greet you, this place is still some distance away from the extreme south." Come with me. After speaking, she didn't care about Xiao Yilan's reaction, turned around and walked towards the jungle. She stepped forward, leaving no footprints on the damp dirt, like a ghost.

Xiao Yilan hesitated for a moment, and scolded himself: "Just go! What are you dragging?"
