Chapter 234: Meet Again
Hearing the footsteps, Zhu Jue and Yun Ze turned their heads at the same time and looked at the entrance with an alert face. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info As the footsteps got closer and closer, Zhu Jue couldn't help frowning, only feeling a hint of familiarity, but he couldn't remember it. Could it be that the lizard king still didn't give up and led people to chase after him again? Thinking like this, a flame rose from Zhu Jue's hand, and Yun Ze also clenched the folding fan, ready to attack at any time.
A silhouette slowly emerged in the darkness, and it gradually became clearer, and suddenly two sword qi, one blue and one purple, swept out from the front and shot towards the two of them. Zhu Jue's complexion changed, and he directly threw out the flames in his hand, and Yun Ze also waved his folding fan and shot out a purple wind blade. The explosion sounded, and under the light of the fire, the other party's face became clear.
"Miss Anna?"
"Is that you?"
Later, the three of them sat together against the wall, and there was some emotion in their tones.
"So, this person is the woman who rescued you from the demons that day?" Yun Ze glanced at Anna, only to feel that she was shrouded in auspicious clouds, making it impossible to see through the depths.
"Although I don't want to admit it, it's true...... Zhu Jue scratched his scalp and said embarrassedly.
"Kid, the last time we met, you looked like you were going to die, but now you've recovered, it's really amazing how fast you are. Anna looked Zhu Jue up and down, and then said in a surprised tone.
"I'm not a child, my name is Zhu Jue! The one next to me, his name is Yun Ze. Zhu Jue immediately protested.
"I see, it's verbose. Oh, by the way, what are you two doing here?" Anna asked the two of them suspiciously, as if remembering something.
Zhu Jue and Yun Ze glanced at each other, and then said, "I still want to ask you, what are you doing in this cave as a little girl?"
"Please, little girl, if I hadn't saved you, you would have seen Hades a long time ago. Besides, didn't I tell you before that I had lost something at home, and I was going to get it back? Now that it's in the hole, where can I go if I don't come here?" said Anna with a roll of her eyes.
"Is it possible...... What is the girl referring to as the fire unicorn in the cave?" Anna listened and said with a look of surprise, "Hey, how do you know?"
Zhu Jue suddenly covered his stomach, beat his chest on the side, and laughed.
"Miss Anna, you're really good at telling jokes. Zhu Jue smiled so much that her face was red, and she turned her head, only to find that Anna was looking at her expressionlessly, as if she was looking at a fool. Zhu Jue coughed, the smile on his face gradually receded, and he asked seriously, "Is this true?"
"That fire unicorn was originally a rui beast that my father kept at home to guard the courtyard. A few months ago, when my father was out on business, this beast broke the chains of confinement while I was sleeping, and quietly slipped out of the house. My dad reprimanded me for this and told me to get it back myself. After some twists and turns, I finally found that this beast was hiding in Oxhorn Mountain, so I hurried over. Anna said solemnly.
For a while, Zhu Jue and Yun Ze were stunned, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time. Especially Zhu Jue, he just knew that Yun Ze had a bewitching demon that ranked among the top ten demon beasts in ancient times, and before he had time to digest it, a girl came and said that she had a fire unicorn as a watchdog, and suddenly the entire worldview was subverted. Fortunately, he is an outsider, and his ability to accept some things is stronger, so he didn't regard the two people in front of him as a psychopath.
"Hey, you haven't answered my question yet, what the hell are you doing here?" Seeing that the two men were silent, Anna asked with her hands on her hips.
"Actually......" Zhu Jue was about to confess honestly, and Yun Ze beside him hurriedly took over the conversation: "Actually, it is because the monsters on this mountain do a lot of evil, and the surrounding villagers are unbearable, so we are invited to go up the mountain to eliminate the demons." It just so happens that Miss An plans to subdue the fire unicorn in this cave, so if we work together, we can be more sure. ā
Anna stood up, glanced at the two in front of her with a pair of Danfeng eyes, and after some thought, said with a smile: "Okay, but I have to state in advance that the Fire Qilin is an ancient fierce beast, and it is not comparable to ordinary demons." If something happens at that time, I won't be responsible. ā
"Don't worry, the power of the fire unicorn is great, we have already experienced it. Zhu Jue smiled bitterly and rolled open his sleeves, revealing the charred skin inside. When Anna saw this, she immediately frowned, then took out a small medicine bottle from her arms and handed it to Zhu Jue: "Use this to rub it on the wound, it will be better soon." ā
Anna's potion really worked wonders, and after only half a day, Zhu Jue's wound had basically recovered. After some rest, the three of them finally took a step forward and walked together towards the fork in the road where the fire unicorn was.
"So, the person who attacked me in the Dark Ancient Forest is also that bewitching demon?" Zhu Jue asked Yun Ze as he walked. Seeing Yun Ze nodded, he was silent for a moment, and then continued: "Even if what you say is true, it can't make up for the sins you have committed, not only for me, but also for others. And so far, I haven't been able to trust you, so ......" Speaking of this, Zhu Jue suddenly stopped, stared at Yun Ze, and the air around him became solemn.
"Anna saved my life, and if you do anything bad for her, I won't let you go. ā
"Hey, what are you two doing, hurry up. In the blink of an eye, Anna had already left the two of them for more than 100 meters, and kept urging in front. Yun Ze smiled and said to Zhu Jue, "That's nature." Then he took a step and walked on.
The length of this fork in the road is far beyond Zhu Jue's imagination, and it has not come to an end for three hours. As the crowd went deeper, the surroundings became more and more stuffy, and the air was filled with a choking smell of sulfur, which made people almost breathless. At this moment, Anna suddenly stretched out her hand and pointed ahead and shouted, "Look!"
I saw a bright light appear not far away, illuminating the dark cave. Everyone hurriedly stepped forward and found that they had come to the end of the fork in the road, and beyond that was a rock cave with a diameter of hundreds of meters and an arched top, and below was red magma, which surged from time to time, emitting bursts of scorching breath. There are several mushroom-shaped stone pillars more than ten meters high inserted into the magma, and at this moment the fire qilin is lying on the stone pillar in the center, with its eyes closed, as if it is asleep.
"Are we in the interior of Oxhorn Mountain now? I didn't expect it to be an active volcano. Looking at the spectacular scene in front of him, Zhu Jue couldn't help but sigh. Unexpectedly, when Anna saw the fire unicorn, her face suddenly changed, and she exclaimed, "Oh no!"
"What's wrong?" Following Anna's gaze, Yun Ze also noticed a trace of abnormality, only to see a blue spherical object on the head of the fire qilin, which was slowly rotating at the moment, emitting a soft glow.
"Yuan Shen is out of body......" Yun Ze muttered, his brows tightly locked. This situation is extremely rare, and it usually only occurs when a strong person is promoted to a small consummation. The original spirit was detached from the body precisely to absorb the power of heaven and earth in order to meet the powerful energy required for promotion.
At the top of Niujiao Peak, dark clouds were shrouded at the moment, and huge lightning bolts fell from the sky, illuminating the entire sky.
