Chapter 18: An Unexpected Change

Quickly pulling away some distance, Cao Xuan grabbed his wrist, and his other hand trembled uncontrollably.

"The gap in strength is really too big, and I can't even break through its defenses."

This is the novice assessment task of the Infernal Academy, and the goal of the system is not to let the students confront the scene monsters head-on, its original intention is to let the students adapt to the task environment of the Infernal Academy, and let the students break the task through exploration, Cao Xuan's idea after entering here is right, but he should not accept the side quest, although the reward is rich, the uncontrollability of the task is too much, causing him to enter danger now.

Cao Xuan, who was covered in scars, couldn't escape now, and the spirit keeper showed no signs of being attracted to him, and he was ready to die.

The phantom flickered and the queen of the Huns had come to the front of her, and the ants in front of her dared to resist, although she was not hurt, but the other party's actions made the queen of the Huns feel angry, and she waved her claws and prepared to end Cao Xuan.

This time the attack speed was very fast, obviously the other party had lost his patience, Cao Xuan didn't have time to dodge at all, death fell, all he could do was watch the pale fingertips in front of him slowly enlarge.

A touch of red floated out from the depths of the forest, like silk used to make clothes in ancient times, it extended from the darkness until it touched Cao Xuan's waist and wrapped it tightly, and then dragged him backwards, the Hun queen's claws hung down against her nose, and the tip of Cao Xuan's nose was faintly cold.

The sudden change surprised Cao Xuan, and the happiness of the rest of his life after the catastrophe was also full of heart, and he touched the red silk wrapped around his waist.

Who saved me? Manipulating red satin, this should be a natural ability, could it be the cold-faced male Si Kou Gu? Unlikely, according to Wang Erzhuang's description, the other party used a dagger, Jiang Hong was dead, Yue Ruxue's ability was a healing talent, and Wang Erzhuang couldn't match the number, could it be Chen Ming?

The more I think about it, the more likely it is that only Chen Ming has not shown his talent among these people, but Cao Xuan can't understand why the other party would save him, and they have nothing to do with each other.

The silk dragged Cao Xuan to move quickly, as if it was a living thing, it would avoid the trees in the path and the speed was very fast, the queen of the Huns found that the prey was robbed, and immediately chased after him in a rage, but at this time it was still in a weak state and could not catch up with Cao Xuan at all, and could only watch his figure gradually moving away.

As if he was about to reach the end, the speed of the silk slowed down, Cao Xuan turned his head to see who was saving him in front of him, and when he saw the other party's appearance clearly, his eyes changed from curiosity to surprise.

"It's you! More like snow? ”

Yue Ruxue took back the red satin, looked at Cao Xuan's surprised face with a smile, and said with satisfaction: "How is it?" What a surprise! Cao Xuan, in the future, you are not allowed to say that I am an oil bottle, if it weren't for me this time, you would be dead. ”

The brain is a little blank, and the appearance of the snow in front of her makes Cao Xuan a little uncomfortable, although her personality is the same as before, but her dress is very strange.

The bright lipstick on her lips made her look bewitching, and the close-fitting jeans and white button-down shirt she was wearing were all gone, but she was replaced by a bright red robe, wrapping her full body, and her fingertips were also covered with red nail polish.

"How strange do you look? What the hell is going on, Uncle Er Zhuang said that you are gone, how can you appear here, and your ability..."

Yue Ruxue's eyes stared at the depths of the forest, interrupting Cao Xuan's question: "I don't think we should discuss this now, if we wait, that guy will catch up." ”

Although Cao Xuan had a lot of doubts in his heart, what the other party said was indeed right, now they really don't have time to wait, and escape is the key.

"Good! Let's go. ”

Cao Xuan's body trembled as soon as he took a few steps, the pain of the wound made him scream, his injury was too serious, the strenuous exercise just now made his wound crack even more, because of excessive blood loss, his head was dizzy, his hands and feet were cold, and he didn't have much strength left, so he obviously couldn't go far.

The leaves in the dark night behind him were rustling, Cao Xuan knew that the pursuers behind him were approaching, gritted his teeth and barely took a few steps forward, his head was dizzy and about to let himself fall, damn it! The worst happens, and I can't escape it.

Feeling his arm being raised, some cool touch made Cao Xuan raise his head, Yue Ruxue held his arm and supported him, and said: "If you can't go, you can't say it, obviously your brain is very bright, people have to be so tough, is it so difficult to hear a request from your mouth?" ”

With a wry smile, Cao Xuan was a little uncomfortable, because of his personality, he was ridiculed since he was a child, and he grew up with low self-esteem because of his family, he was rejected too many times, and he also experienced too much cold ridicule, over time he was used to thinking by himself and doing it according to his own ideas, even if he really couldn't get over the hurdle, he relied on the split personality in his mind.

"I may have to trouble you, if there is danger, you can leave me and run away first, without any mental baggage, I won't blame you."

Two red satins stretched out from Yue Ruxue's cuffs, and they tied Cao Xuan as smart as a snake, and in the process of winding, because the restraint was too tight, the wound was involved, making Cao Xuan scream in pain.

Hearing the pain that Cao Xuan tried his best to hide, the more Ruxue raised the corners of his mouth: "The current me is not the Yue Ruxue before, if I didn't care about you, I would have thrown you down when you were unconscious, you are now sick, just stay behind my back to recuperate, I won't let you die easily." ”

The soft body of the woman firmly fixed Cao Xuan behind her back, carrying a big man on her back, Yue Ruxue was still fast, and the red robe moved in the wind, floating behind her whirring.

Lying on each other's backs, they could feel the coldness through their clothes, probably because of the natural coldness of women, Cao Xuan didn't think much about it, the two of them walked quickly through the forest, and the black shadows swept by in rows, Cao Xuan couldn't help asking, "Where are we going now?" ”

"Go to a place where you can take shelter for a while, that's a good place I stumbled upon, it can temporarily block the perception of the monsters in the scene, and I guess the things inside will interest you."

Can I be interested, has she discovered the truth of the mission? Found something from the wraith's mind? But what makes me even more curious is how she got her strength, obviously a female college student with some hanging tails, how did she get such a powerful ability after disappearing for a while, did she get any chance?

"If you can, can you tell me what happened after Uncle Erzhuang and I fell into a coma, and how you got your ability, if it's inconvenient to reveal it, it doesn't matter, I'm just curious."

After being silent for a while, Yue Ruxue replied: "Actually, it's nothing, I was scared after you fainted, I was really scared, I desperately wanted to use my talent to try to save you, but it didn't work, you didn't react at all, I may have been too focused in the process, I didn't even know that someone was approaching behind me, so stupid!" ”

Speaking of this, the more Ruxue's eyes turned red, Cao Xuan obviously felt that the other party's whole body was trembling, she seemed to be calming down, and paused to continue:

"Suddenly I felt a pain in my head, as if I was hit on the head by something hard, my eyes were black and I didn't know anything, when I woke up again and found that I was lying on the cold floor tiles, there was a simple ancestral hall, there was a small tower enshrined in the ancestral hall, and a big red robe was neatly stacked on the stone slab in the middle, and an inexplicable voice whispered in my ear, as if calling me to let me wear it on my body, and thanks to this red dress gave me magical power, the ancestral hall was not far from here, I heard a movement here before I came, I didn't expect to be able to save you. ”

The truth is not like this at all, Yue Ruxue deliberately concealed everything after Chen Ming appeared, but Cao Xuan didn't know the reason, and he didn't know that Yue Ruxue might have died, he only sighed in his heart that the other party's good luck had obtained a piece of equipment that could strengthen his strength.

"It looks like someone attacked you, but you've also been blessed with such a powerful piece of equipment, right! You really didn't see who that person was at all? What was the purpose of his attack on you? Is it a student or someone else? ”

Shaking her head, Yue Ruxue seemed to be really confused: "I fainted before I could see it." ”

Hearing the other party's answer, Cao Xuan felt that the matter might not have been done by the students.

If it was done by the students, it would be impossible to send Yue Ruxue into the ancestral hall, if there is powerful equipment to use it to save his life, why give it to others, it should be an unknown force to intervene, and bring Yue Ruxue to the ancestral hall to stun, deliberately not letting people see his face clearly, this is a little suspicious, there may be hidden power in the mausoleum.

The more he thought about it, the more doubts he had, Cao Xuan shook his head and planned to throw these out of his mind, he didn't plan to continue to think about it deeply, now the main thing is to survive this mission first, since Yue Ruxue is fine, and then he began to worry about Wang Erzhuang's safety.

"That's right! Uncle Er Zhuang and I are divided into two ways, I come to find the key to solving the task, Uncle Er Zhuang went to the place where we fainted to look for you, I don't know if there will be danger, and the clues I carved on the ground, I don't know if he can find it. ”

Cao Xuan's eyes were full of worry, the spirit keeper was not on his side, and he would definitely appear next to Chen Ming, Si Kougu, and Wang Erzhuang.

Yue Ruxue closed her eyes, and the loss of sight did not affect the speed of progress, she seemed to be feeling something, and reopened it after a while: "It's okay, Uncle Erzhuang can't die, I believe he can live." ”

Thinking that the other party was comforting himself, Cao Xuan sighed and changed the subject: "Is the place you want to take me to the ancestral hall you said?" ”

"Come down and see for yourself! It's here, that's it. Yue Ruxue withdrew the red silk from Cao Xuan's body, and leaned close to the other party to prevent him from falling.

The weeping branches of the willow trees are scattered, the ancestral hall is under the weeping willows, the appearance is very dilapidated, the mottled walls expose the red tile bricks, the outer courtyard is only half collapsed, it is full of green and yellow weeds, open the thick grass and walk into it, the innermost part of the courtyard is a small tower made of gray stones, the door is narrow and can only allow one person to pass through, the area inside is not large, it is estimated that four or five people can fill it.
