Chapter Seventy-Three: The Stubborn Old Man
Looking at the mutation in front of him, Hoshino was also stunned for a moment. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 However, she soon realized that the person in front of her was not Qiushui, but a mysterious primordial spirit that occupied his body. And from his words, it can be heard that this person seems to be Qiushui's master.
The Snow Maiden had already closed her eyes, and she couldn't bear to look at the scene in front of her. But who knew that before a blink of an eye, the situation on the field seemed to have changed again, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart that this guy was really elusive.
"Who are you who dare to come and get in the way of me?" Hoshino said coldly.
"Hahaha, who am I? Why, I've lived for a long time, and I don't even remember the old man?"
The arrogant laughter rang in his ears, making Hoshino feel a little familiar. She frowned, and then contacted the Tiansha Sword in Qiu Shui's hand, and an old figure gradually appeared in her mind.
"How is it possible, didn't you fall a hundred years ago?"
"Speaking of which, there's a credit to you. The stubborn old man's voice suddenly became gloomy.
"Hmph, I expected this kid to have something to do with you, but I didn't expect it to be your apprentice. You've always been withdrawn, don't like to socialize with people, and you don't know what makes this kid stand out to you. Hoshino said with some mockery.
"You don't have to worry about it. In short, if you dare to hurt my apprentice, don't blame me for being unkind to you. The old man raised the Tiansha in his hand, and suddenly a red light shot out from the body of the sword, only to see that the sword was like a long rainbow, and the edge was exposed, and it was stronger than before in terms of momentum.
At this moment, Hoshino also showed a hint of jealousy. She thought about it in her heart, and then waved her hand: "That's it, I'll sell you a face, you can go." ”
"Then my apprentice's little girlfriend, aren't you going to let it go?" said the stubborn old man with a hint of banter. When the Snow Maiden heard this, her face suddenly flushed, and it seemed that this stubborn old man regarded herself as Qiushui's girlfriend.
"You don't have to take an inch. If it was your heyday, I would naturally be inferior to you, but now you are just a remnant of the primordial spirit, when I am really afraid that you will not succeed?" Hoshino's face suddenly sank, and he was about to make a move.
The stubborn old man unhurriedly took out a fiery red token from his waist and said slowly: "I'm naturally not your opponent now, but with this thing here, you don't want to please it." It was that token that saved his life in the battle between Qiushui and Shao Yi, and made him turn defeat into victory in the end.
The moment he saw the token, a look of shock appeared on Hoshino's face for the first time, and the movements in his hands stopped. The two faced each other for a long time, and a few wisps of breeze blew off the dead leaves on the branches.
"Okay, okay...... I didn't expect this thing to be missing for more than a hundred years, and it was actually hidden on this kid, you are really bold enough. Anyway, with this thing on me, even if I don't kill your apprentice, someone will come to kill him sooner or later. You must know that if this thing is discovered by the people of the Yan Kingdom, it will set off a bloody storm. ”
"You don't have to worry about it. The stubborn old man said lightly. Hoshino snorted coldly, and didn't say anything more, only to see her body slowly float up, just like that, floating into the distance.
"You should know what this place is, it's about to appear, and none of you will survive. Hahaha......" Hoshino's figure faded away, leaving only her laughter echoing in the forest for a long time.
With Hoshino's departure, Snow Maiden finally regained her freedom. She walked up to the stubborn old man, bowed, and said, "Thank you Shaoxia, no, thank you for this master's help." ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as the stubborn old man grabbed the hand of the Snow Maiden, he really startled her.
"You're ......"
"I'm just a trace of the primordial spirit left in the sword body, and I wanted to sleep for a long time, but this time I had to show up, exhausted the last of my primordial power, and was about to dissipate in this world. It's just a dangerous place, and I don't know why you're here, but listen to me and find a safe place to hide. I'm not lightly injured, and I'll have to rely on you to take care of it a little more. ”
The Snow Maiden wanted to explain that she was not Qiushui's girlfriend, but thinking of the scene where Qiushui stepped forward just now, she thought about it for a while, and finally nodded.
The starry light spread out from Qiu Shui's body, and the fierce aura around him disappeared without a trace, and his eyes gradually changed from red to normal. Immediately afterwards, I saw him fall directly to the ground, and he passed out due to his injuries. By the time he woke up again, the moon had climbed the branches.
"Snow, Snow Maiden?" Qiushui slowly opened his eyes, only to feel a tightness in his chest, and he didn't know how long he had been asleep.
"Are you awake?" the Snow Maiden was lighting a fire nearby. She has a special physique and is not afraid of the cold, but she is worried that the autumn water is freezing, so she specially found some firewood to come over. Then, she handed a bowl of warm water to Qiushui, who drank it all and felt a lot more comfortable.
"You have broken several ribs, and although I barely brought them back for you, I still need more rest these days. The Snow Maiden's tone was still cold, without any emotion.
"Where's the female demon?" Qiushui looked around, a puzzled expression on his face.
The Snow Maiden was silent for a moment, and then told Qiushui what had happened. Of course, she naturally didn't mention that the stubborn fire regarded her as Qiushui's girlfriend and asked her to take care of Qiushui, but said that she saw that Qiushui was seriously injured, so she kept guarding by the side, after all, he was also injured to help herself.
Qiushui listened to it, and it took a long time to come back to his senses. Thinking that the master had exhausted the last trace of Yuan Shen in order to save himself, Qiu Shui felt that his nose was sour. The figure of the red-robed old man appeared in his mind, and when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't remember his face clearly. This can't be blamed on him, in the end, Qiushui only saw the stubborn old man once.
Qiushui knelt on the ground with his legs and kowtowed to the sky three times. The Snow Maiden watched from behind, a trace of emotion appeared on her face, and she whispered to Qiushui: "I also brought the fish you caught, but I haven't grilled the fish, will you come?"
Qiushui nodded, removed the fish scales with his hands and feet, and then directly inserted it into the sword and roasted it. It didn't take long for a burst of scent to fill the air.
"Qiushui, right? I didn't expect you to be quite good, grilled fish can be grilled so fragrant. Snow Maiden said with some surprise.
"When I was a child, I often had no food to eat and no money, so I had to catch some game to cook by myself. I'm really flattered that you know my name compared to this. Qiushui smiled.
The Snow Maiden didn't speak again, but the corners of her mouth inadvertently raised slightly. The two of them sat quietly by the fire, and a few sparks burst out of the wood, landed on the damp grass, and then gradually dimmed. Qiushui flipped the fish in his hand from time to time, with a focused expression. However, he didn't notice that the token that he had been wearing on his waist was missing at this time.
It was a calm night with a light breeze. The bright moonlight sprinkled on the forest, reflecting a dazzling light. Tomorrow is the last day of the competition, everyone is sleeping more soundly than usual, and it seems that the greatest difficulty has passed, and the clouds are about to be cleared. At some point, however, a slight earth-breaking sound rang in my ears, shattering the rare silence of the night.
"Hurry up, we're almost there. In the sky, more than a dozen figures swept by one after another, rushing towards the direction of the Dark Ancient Forest at full speed.
