The huge mouth closed, and Lin Xiao and Xiaoqiu were completely sealed in the huge trunk of the Misty Demon Vine, and the next moment they were about to be transformed into the nourishment of the Misty Demon Vine.

It all seems to be going to end like this!!

However, at the moment when the giant mouth of the misty demon vine closed, a strong snorting sound suddenly erupted from the inside of its trunk, and then the huge trunk quickly began to swell from the inside out, and the vines dancing on the branches also twitched, and there were repeated light smoke slowly drifting out of it.

With a loud bang, the huge trunk of the Misty Demon Vine exploded completely, and the fierce flames covered the entire tree in an instant, and began to spread in all directions. A black figure was also blasted out by the force of the explosion.

At this time, Lin Xiao was almost completely black, with burns all over his body, and the clothes on his body were also scorched and tattered due to the burning of the blazing flames, but he still tried his best to bend his body slightly, and his hands tried to protect his chest to prevent Xiaoqiuqiu from being hurt in the slightest.

"Big brother, are you alright?" asked the little hicchu, slightly worried.

I saw that she was still snuggling up to Lin Xiao's chest, looking up with an innocent little face, looking at Lin Xiao with a concerned expression.

Although Lin Xiao now felt that his whole body was full of burning pain, it was not a big deal to see Xiao Qiuqiu, but he felt that it was all worth it, so he smiled and said, "Well! It's okay! Being burned by the fire like this makes me feel more energetic, hehe!"

Xiao Qiuqiu didn't smile because of Lin Xiao's joke, he still looked worried, his eyes flashed brightly, as if he had done something wrong, and said with a face full of self-blame: "Big brother, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, and I hurt you again." ”

When Lin Xiao heard this, she looked at her with pity, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

He had always been afraid that Xiao Qiuqiu would say such a thing, so he pretended to be relaxed just now when he was scorched all over: It is more energetic to be burned by the fire.

I just don't want Xiaoqiu to remember the name of the witch again, for fear that she will always connect with herself no matter what misfortune happens around her.

But obviously, she still hasn't let go of the past in her heart, and still thinks that it was some kind of ominous thing that caused Lin Xiao to be affected, so she blamed herself so much!

Perhaps, this is the indelible psychological wound left by Xiaoqiuqiu who has been regarded as a witch since he was a child.

Lin Xiao now looked at her in addition to pity or pity, and there was still a trace of sour feeling in her heart, and even her voice became a little sweet: "You don't have to apologize to me, it should be me who should say sorry, I shouldn't be so fierce to you in the first place!"

Before Lin Xiao finished speaking, Xiao Qiuqiu suddenly hugged Lin Xiao's neck and choked, sobbing and saying, "Big brother, don't say it, I understand, thank you for being tolerant of me all the time." ”

"Actually, I know that you don't want me to live in the shadow of the past. But I just can't forgive myself right now. ”

"Why do I always choose to run away from myself every time a difficult situation occurs?!"

"In the castle, I escaped the judgment of the Holy See and at the same time abandoned my relatives, in the forest, I escaped the attack of the wolves and at the same time left behind the little elk, and just now I left you big brother again to avoid the entanglement of the misty demon vines. ”

"Although these things are a little unavoidable, but all of this still makes me hate myself, why do I leave the dearest and most loved person around me to take the risk for me?!"

"This only shows that I am too weak, and I don't know how to protect them at all, except for the people around me. ”

"I used to hate cultivation so much, but now, I understand. This world is not as beautiful as I imagined, so I also want to be a strong person, only in this way can I protect the people I want to protect. ”

Xiao Qiuqiu's words shocked Lin Xiao a lot, is this still a seven or eight-year-old girl?! He didn't expect that Xiao Qiuqiu, who had always been delicate, would see the world so thoroughly.

But maybe she's right, only the strong are qualified to protect everything they want to protect.

Looking at Xiao Qiuqiu's determined gaze, this reminded Lin Xiao of herself, and at the same time thought of Yu Yin. Is the current self still qualified to protect her?!

He didn't want to think about it, and he didn't dare to think about it, because there was a trace of fear in his heart.

Lin Xiao took a deep breath, calmed down his mood, and simply said to Xiao Qiuqiu: "As long as you are willing, you will definitely be able to do it." ”

He said this, not only to affirm Xiaoqiuqiu, but also to remind himself that no matter what kind of person he will become in the future, even if he is just an ordinary person with no energy, he will use his life to protect everything that is worth protecting.

All is at peace!

Lin Xiao sat cautiously on the ground, carefully smearing the wounds on his body with some of the medicines he carried with him, but even so, he felt bursts of burning pain all over his body.

Xiao Qiuqiu stood next to her and watched quietly, revealing a trace of unbearable expression on her little face, but Lin Xiao could only smile at her easily.

But now, when he closes his eyes and thinks about it carefully, Lin Xiao can't help but feel a little scared, maybe he is lucky to have some slight burns all over his body now, because they can't even see the sun tomorrow.

Don't look at Lin Xiao now, he always looks relaxed in front of Xiao Qiuqiu, but only he understands in his heart that when they were completely swallowed into the trunk by the misty demon vine, he was already waiting for death to slowly come, because at that time, he really had no chance to escape.

But just when Lin Xiao felt the strongly corrosive mucus around him wrapping around him, he could only subconsciously bend his body as much as possible to avoid the little hill in his arms from being hurt first.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt a scorching temperature behind him suddenly spread, and the fierce flames instantly covered the entire inside of the tree trunk, and then he flew out in the explosion of the huge trunk of the misty demon vine.

All this happened so suddenly, that after Lin Xiao was blasted out of his heart, he still had a dim idea of what was going on! It wasn't until he saw the rapidly spreading fire around him that he had a hint of enlightenment.

If it weren't for the moment when he was pulled out by the rattan of the misty demon vine just now, he accidentally ignited a trace of his clothes, maybe he would really have to return to nature today.

It was precisely because of the trace of the burnt clothes that when Lin Xiao was swallowed into the trunk of the tree by the misty demon vine, it was like a spark bursting into the gunpowder, which instantly ignited the extremely combustible substance secreted by the misty demon vine, so Lin Xiao and the others were able to survive this time.

Lin Xiao now sighed in addition to being happy, at this moment, a moment of luck saved his life, so if he encounters danger in the future, can he still be so lucky?

Just as Lin Xiao was closing her eyes and thinking about these things, she suddenly heard a snapping sound next to her.

I saw the weak little hill holding a branch, trying to extinguish the flames on some dead trees around him, and Lin Xiao was stunned for a while.

Xiao Qiuqiu looked at Lin Xiao's stunned gaze, and pointed to these dead trees with a little twist and said, "Big brother, I also think what I'm doing is a bit unbelievable, but I really can't bear to hear them cry for help to me in my heart." ”

"Although it was their deliberate guidance that allowed us to enter the attack range of that strange tree. But at that time, they were also threatened by the strange tree, otherwise the trees in this area would not have withered so much, and there was only a glimmer of life left in the dry area. ”

Lin Xiao suddenly realized when he heard this, no wonder he felt that something was wrong the more he walked at the beginning! It turned out that these dead trees on both sides of the road were deliberately guiding them towards the misty demon vine.

Xiao Qiuqiu looked at Lin Xiao and continued: "What's more, when the big brother asked me to escape, it was the strange tree they told me was very afraid of flames, so I insisted on coming back to find the big brother." ”

"So I think they should have no ill will towards us, and it was because of the threat of that strange tree that they misled us. ”

"So now, hearing their inner cries for help, I really don't want to see them threatened by this fire again. ”

Hilichurl paused and continued with a little sadness: "I know that if we humans saw these dry trees without branches and leaves burned by the flames, people would not care whether they were alive or dead, and would definitely think that I was a fool. ”

"But I understand that the dry trees here care about that. Because they still have a glimmer of life, they are also living beings, so I can't pretend that I don't know anything and don't care about anything. ”

Saying this, Xiao Qiuqiu smiled, smiled sweetly, looked at Lin Xiao and asked innocently, "Big brother, do you also think I'm a fool?"

Lin Xiao stood up slowly, and couldn't calm down in his heart for a long time, yes! All living beings in heaven and earth have their own right to live, and it is not the fate of heaven and any living being that can be deprived of it at will.

At this time, his eyes seemed to have cleared the layers of fog, and suddenly became abrupt, and he walked to the side of the little hicculin, looked at her and smiled, and said kindly: "You are a fool, but a lovely fool. Saying that, Lin Xiao also joined Xiaoqiuqiu's firefighting team.
