Volume 2: Ten Thousand Flame Soul Domain Chapter 273: Children and Middle-aged Men
As if they were being chased by some beast, the robbers immediately got up from the ground and ran frantically into the depths of the woods.
They were so familiar with their surroundings that even if they went to the deepest part of the woods, according to what they had done over the years, it was just like the way home. But for Shi Xiao, this forest was enough for him to run for a while.
The weather was hot, especially this afternoon, fortunately in the woods, otherwise Shi Xiao would have been dried by the scorching sun.
"I knew I wouldn't let them go!" Shi Xiao muttered. At this time, Shi Xiao especially regretted that he had walked in this forest for an hour, and his clothes were already sweaty.
Knock knock!
Suddenly, a voice attracted Shi Xiao, although the sound was small, but the vibration from the last sound, Shi Xiao could still feel it clearly.
If there is a voice, it means that there is a living thing, Shi Xiao exhaled a breath of turbid air and quickened his pace.
As the distance increased, the sound became louder and louder, and the sense of vibration became stronger and stronger, and at the same time, Shi Xiao could also hear bursts of cheers. The voice was very childish, and it must have been made by some young child.
Pushing aside the bushes, there was suddenly another low shout, and suddenly a big tree crossed in front of Shi Xiao, and then slammed into the ground. A gaze swept to Shi Xiao's place, and he was suddenly surprised and opened his mouth wide.
Rumble!
The big tree smashed directly on the ground and instantly stirred up dust, but the place where the tree fell was not the place just now, but a few steps away from here, and at the same time, the big tree started from the trunk and was all shaken apart.
The dust drifted away, and a small figure hurriedly ran over and looked around. The child saw a figure behind a fallen tree, but at some point the tree had fallen somewhere.
"Boy, next time you have to look at the point and exert your strength, otherwise you have to smash someone to death!" At this time, Shi Xiao's voice appeared behind the child.
The child's face changed drastically, and he quickly turned around, urging the soul power in his body, and suddenly a first-class white mist wrapped around his palm.
"Who are you and how did you find here!" the child said vigilantly as he looked at Shi Xiao.
Seeing that the child was so vigilant, Shi Xiao smiled bitterly: "I'm lost in this forest..."
A child is a child after all, and he believes Shi Xiao's words, but his vigilance is still undiminished. Then he asked, "Where are you from, and how did you get lost in this forest!"
"I live in Youxiangzhuang, and today I went to the main city of Yancheng, and when I left, I was seen by robbers and threw me here..."Shi Xiao explained.
The child listened to Shi Xiao's explanation, and his eyes were also curious, as if he liked to listen to Shi Xiao talk about things outside, but the soul power in his hands was always undiminished, maintained in his own hands, and always vigilant.
The child was not big, he didn't look like he was ten years old, his skin was a little fair, he was dressed in gray-black linen, and his little face should have been blushing from the heat. Fine beads of sweat flowed down his immature cheeks, and a pair of big black eyes were always staring at Shi Xiao, and as Shi Xiao said more, the black eyes were also turning to think about something.
"Why did you go to the main city of Yancheng?" the child asked again.
Shi Xiao looked helpless, he was asked by this child to have a little time to burn incense, and he felt very thirsty, but this child seemed to have been isolated from the outside world, and he was very interested in what Shi Xiao said.
"The lord of the city..."
Woohoo!
Suddenly, the sound of several iron tools cutting through the air sounded in Shi Xiao's ears, Shi Xiao's brows were locked, and his right hand had already condensed the aura at this time. Suddenly, a cold light suddenly appeared on the right side of Shi Xiao, and the cold light seemed to shoot out of the valley, making it impossible for people to defend at all.
Boom!
For some reason, the abyssal spirit turned into a ray of light and suddenly appeared from the center of Shi Xiao's eyebrows. Directly intercepted all the iron weapons that came from the raid, and the next second also flew along the route of the iron tools, the speed was very fast, and the dark red light drew a ghostly line in the forest.
Shi Xiao was shocked, Fang Cai himself didn't urge the Yuan Spirit at all, why did it come out directly. Before Shi Xiao could finish thinking about it, his body had already rushed out, for fear that Yuan Ling would have some unnecessary misunderstanding.
The child was just startled, and a gust of wind passed by him, but the next second he also thought of something, his face became anxious, and he turned around and rushed forward directly following Shi Xiao's footsteps.
While!
Suddenly, the sound of metal crashing into the ground reached the ear. The sound was very crisp and very loud, and the eardrums trembled when the earth was shaken. But Shi Xiao only paused, and the speed under his feet did not decrease, but became faster, and rushed over.
Stepping through a bush, Shi Xiao came to a clearing, at this time, a middle-aged man dressed like a child's clothes held a domineering broadsword in his hand, and the black sword body was covered with special patterns. This pattern seems familiar to the sky, but I can't remember when I saw it.
As for Yuan Ling, the tip of the sword was facing the middle-aged man, but it was blocked by the broadsword. The tip of the Abyssal Spirit's sword stabbed fiercely into the body of the broadsword, and the sparks did not stop rising. The middle-aged man held the handle of the sword with one hand, propped up the other hand on the other side of the broadsword, and his body was also in a lunge, struggling to resist the attack of the abyssal spirit.
The middle-aged man had a sword eyebrow, but at this time he seemed to be suppressed by something, his brows were also tightly locked, and his eyes were staring at the broadsword in his hand.
"Yuan Ling!" Shi Xiao drank violently. When the voice came out, Yuan Ling's sword body shook and relieved a little strength, and at this time, the middle-aged man's face was also a lot more relaxed, and he turned his face away and stared at Shi Xiao.
Yuan Ling flew back into Shi Xiao's hand, and at the same time, a special pattern suddenly appeared on Shi Xiao's forehead, and the pattern was dark red. At this time, the Yuan Spirit also turned into a dark red light and returned to the lines on Shi Xiao's forehead. And that pattern, like the Yuan Spirit, disappeared on Shi Xiao's body.
At this time, the child also came out from behind Shi Xiao, looked at the middle-aged man in front of Shi Xiao with a surprised face, looked at Shi Xiao again, and then hurriedly ran towards the middle-aged man.
"Is Uncle!?" the child asked.
The middle-aged man's gaze took his eyes off Shi Xiao's body, and he looked at the child who was not as long as his legs with a loving expression, and then shook his head with a smile. At this time, his right hand holding the broadsword was trembling beside him, and the pressure brought by Fang Cai Yuanling was really a little unbearable.
The middle-aged man moved his gaze back to Shi Xiao's body, also with a vigilant look. When the child saw the uncle's gaze, he immediately explained.
After a long time, the middle-aged man also relaxed his expression, and motioned for Shi Xiao to follow behind him with the child. At this time, the child was also familiar with Shi Xiao, and he kept asking this in front of Shi Xiao, asking where, very curious about the world outside the forest.
It didn't take long for Shi Xiao to follow the two to a cave, and the middle-aged man walked into the cave without saying a word, put down the broadsword in his hand against a stone platform, and then walked out.
The boy was originally chatting happily with Shi Xiao, but when he saw the middle-aged man's stern eyes, he immediately walked to the middle-aged man's side with a disgraced face, lowered his head and said nothing.
"I didn't expect such a big forest to have people living in it! It's really isolated!" Shi Xiao said with a smile.
The middle-aged man didn't speak, and the child also opened his mouth, wanting to say something.
Shi Xiao was embarrassed now, looking at the middle-aged man and the child at a loss, and the gaze cast by the middle-aged man at this time made Shi Xiao leave quickly.
For a long time, Shi Xiao looked helpless, and said with a wry smile: "If I could leave here, I would have left a long time ago..."
After that, the middle-aged man glanced at the child, and the child also nodded, expressing his affirmation of Shi Xiao's words. The middle-aged man exhaled a breath, looked at Shi Xiao, pointed to his forehead, and gestured to Shi Xiao.
Shi Xiao also knew that the man didn't speak, but couldn't speak. Then he asked, "Yuan Ling!?"
The man nodded, Shi Xiao couldn't help it, he urged the aura and released the Yuan Spirit.
As soon as the Yuan Spirit came out, a sharp edge flashed, and then fell steadily into Shi Xiao's hands. Seeing this, the man slowly walked towards Shi Xiao and stretched out his hand.
Shi Xiao understood, handed Yuan Ling to him, and said:
"This longsword is not ordinary!"
