Xinghe knew it was a dream, but he didn't know how to wake up. He was in a jungle, like the Misty Forest, but it was a little different, the trees here were not so dense, but they were darker and more terrifying than the Misty Forest, because the sky here was completely dark.

There is no sun, no moon, and no starry sky in the sky, so it can be said that it is pitch black, but there is light in the forest. Xinghe didn't know where the light came from, but the strange light allowed him to see a few meters around him. Farther afield, there was darkness, and in that darkness something was chasing him.

Those things looked like bloody people, walking slowly, but they couldn't shake them off. Xinghe didn't try to attack those things either, because they were enough to awaken a lot of bad memories for him. There was nothing in this forest that could be used to determine the direction, and he could only run in one direction by feeling, not knowing where the end was.

In this forest, it is also impossible to judge time, because there is nothing in the sky, so Xinghe has no way to judge how long and how far he has fled. The bloody men behind him were still slowly walking towards him, the pungent smell of blood had reached his nose, and he could see some familiar faces on the miserable faces of those bloody men.

I don't know how long he ran, he suddenly heard the sound of running water, and soon a big river appeared in front of him, the river was more than ten meters wide, and he didn't know where it started or where it flowed, cutting the forest in half.

Xinghe walked to the river, looked at the big river without knowing the depth, stretched out his hand to test the river water, and found that it was very cold. He glanced back at the bloodies who were gathering towards this side, gritted his teeth, and went down the river. The cold water quickly wet his clothes, making him shiver involuntarily. He had to grit his teeth and swim towards the opposite side with difficulty.

When the galaxy swam to the middle of the river, he looked back and saw that the bloody people were standing on the shore and had not entered the water. He was so excited that he turned around and shouted, "Come after me, bastards!"

The bloody men were indifferent to his taunts and watched him silently. More and more monsters came out of the forest, and Xinghe looked at the bloody people lined up by the river, feeling a little oozing, and turned around and swam towards the opposite bank.

Just when he was only a meter or two from the shore, something glowing came out of the forest on the other side and came to the shore, it was a translucent lion that emitted a blue light. The light emanating from the lion was soft and reassuring, but the lion itself was terrifying. It was tall and ferocious, standing on the bank of the river panting.

Xinghe didn't feel that he was a match for the beast, and he floated down the river, but to his despair, the lion followed him. As he moved closer to the shore, it moved closer to the shore and bared its fangs. When he is farther from the shore, the lion will also be farther from the shore, as if its duty was only to prevent him from coming ashore.

The cold of the river was unbearable, and he looked back at the group of bloody people, and couldn't help but tear his eyes, those guys actually began to go down the river, although many of them were swept downstream by the current, but there were still many who were slowly swimming towards him.

Xinghe had to muster up his courage and yelled at the lion, "Get out of here!"

The lion responded with a loud roar, and the whole forest shook under the roar. After asserting its might, it took one step and another step towards the riverbank, until its claws were clinging to the riverbank. It bared its teeth at the galaxy, forcing him to turn back.

The lion's might forced the galaxy to retreat, and he looked back to catch a glimpse of the bloodies approaching, but the lion in front of him still did not give in, it opened its mouth, showing its fangs, its long mane fluttering with the majesty, and even the light on its body became much more dazzling.

The lion stretched out its front paws and threw a handful of water into Xinghe's face, causing him to have a painful cheek. At the same time, the light on its body became cooler, forcing him to close his eyes, and when he opened them again, he saw the dazzling sun and a hand that was pumping his face.

Xinghe, who had just woken up, was still a little dazed, and it took him two or three seconds to recognize Du Ze, who was wearing a white cloak and kneeling on one knee. Xinghe wanted to shout angrily, but found that he ended up with something, and not only that, he was tied to a sleigh with a white cloth on his body.

Du Ze didn't leave time for him to think nonsense, but directly pulled out the dagger, crossed his neck, and said, "If you want to speak, don't scream, otherwise I will cut your neck immediately." ”

Xinghe could only choose to compromise and nodded, he knew that Du Ze had succeeded, and the lives of this frenzied guy had already been too many to count.

"Very good, just be obedient. Du Ze patted him on the cheek with a dagger, and then pulled out the cloth that was stuffed in his mouth, it was a rag with a foul and disgusting smell.

"You did the Saku Village?" Xinghe couldn't help but ask as soon as he regained the ability to speak.

In response, he was slapped with a slap, which made Xinghe's cheeks bloodshot and painful, "I said it, I asked you to answer, not you asked me to answer." ”

"Du Ze!" An exclamation came, and Xinghe turned his head to see Jasmine, who was standing with her mouth covered, also wearing a white cloak.

"Jasmine, take your sympathy, we're not in a good place. Du Ze sighed, "And this kid is not as harmless as he seems, he has at least one human life in his hands." ”

"You, you!" Xinghe looked at Du Ze in shock, the sin in his hands was a secret buried in the deepest part of his heart, and he had never mentioned it to others.

"Isn't that weird, Galaxy. Du Ze slashed the tip of the dagger across his cheek and looked at him playfully, "The person who has killed people has a special smell on his body." I've smelled it since I first met you, and I've always wondered how a ten-year-old kid could get his hands bloody. ”

"You madman!" Xinghe replied with a mouthful of spit.

Du Ze wiped the saliva from his face, did not speak, turned the direction of the dagger, and smashed it into his face. Xinghe felt as if his teeth had been broken, and his mouth was filled with the smell of blood.

"Du Ze, don't do this. Jasmine couldn't bear to look at this scene.

Du Ze shrugged helplessly, put away the dagger, and then twitched his cheek with his hand, "Xinghe, if you're not dead, tell me who asked you to investigate." ”

Xinghe didn't say a word, his eyes glaring at Du Ze.

"It's hard for me to do this. Du Ze stood up, crossed his hands on his waist, and walked a few steps in the snow, "That demon spirit in your team is the outlier of the Hegu family, I remember that you should have entered the Heart of the Mist, why are you here, who told you about Saku Village, and is there anyone else investigating?"

"Don't speak? Du Ze squatted down again, close to his face, "Boy, do you know, your life is very good, so good that I am jealous, just two years in Jiangcheng to catch up with the demon spirits of the capital, and also learned some of their little tricks, it can be said that the future is bright! ”

Good fate?Which of his fates is good fate, Xinghe unconsciously put the thoughts in his heart on his face, but this seemed to make Du Ze mistaken, he shook his head, and re-stuffed the dirty rag into his mouth roughly.

Du Ze stood up and walked to the sleigh, strapped the strap on his shoulder, and said to Jasmine, "Jasmine, how is it, can you walk? We can't rest here for too long, we have to rush to the shelter as soon as possible, something must have happened in the forest, those Mao Wen patrols have become more frequent in the past two days." ”

Jasmine nodded, indicating that she could still walk, so Du Ze walked over and pulled up the white cloth to cover him, and then began to drag the sleigh to move. The white cloth was so thick that it obscured all of Xinghe's vision, making it impossible for him to tell where Du Ze was heading, and he could only feel from the rickety sleigh that they were not moving fast.

It's not Xinghe's character to be restrained, he also has a hole card that Du Ze didn't notice, and that is magic. No, he noticed, but he didn't think of it, it didn't occur that he was actually a demon.

The human magic taught by Tiangong Academy is classified as word spirit magic in the magic faction, and users need to use the power of magic scripts, that is, spells, to assist in casting spells, although there are silent spell casting skills in word spirit magic, but for most people, especially beginners, spells are essential, so Du Ze gagged his mouth.

But for the demon spirits, most of the magic they practiced was manual magic, relying on the movement of their limbs to complete the spell, just like she did when he first met Rong Ruo, and easily released a magic with his hands together.

Although all Xinghe had learned during this time was the knowledge of the speech and spirit system, when he was in Jiangcheng, the exercises he had been carrying out were all from instinct. Although he did not have a program in the technique of tying, and had not undergone systematic training, he could still barely move the rope.

It's a delicate job, and there's no urgency. Du Ze tied his hands behind his back in order to prevent him from breaking free, he could only use his magic power to untie the rope little by little, but fortunately, Du Ze didn't pay attention to him now, and he had enough time to slowly untie the rope.
