Chapter 20: The Sudden Fog
In fact, when Lin Xiao saw Yu Yin resisting the devastating heavenly punishment attack for his own sake, he was no longer so obsessed with whether he had peerless cultivation.
Subsequently, after traveling to this time and space, he found that he had lost all his cultivation, which made him feel that this was the punishment of fate. Although he has always been reluctant to believe in the existence of fate.
After that, he found that he couldn't reopen his meridians, which meant that even if he awakened the energy, he couldn't quickly exert the due effect of the energy through the operation of the meridians. In other words, without the energy in his body mobilized through the meridians, he can only exert two-thirds of his original energy.
Although at that moment, Lin Xiao had a trace of panic. But then he gave up, because he felt that this might be the price he should pay.
So Lin Xiao understands that in this time and space, he can only be an ordinary person in a low-key manner. Therefore, he only hoped to be able to awaken a certain energy of himself, not to use it against enemies and improve his cultivation, but only to feel the faint fluctuations in Yu Yin's soul imprint, so that he could find her earlier in this time and space.
This is also the reason why Lin Xiao is so persistent in the awakening of her own energy.
But now, the departure of the little fat dragon suddenly left him with such a sentence, which made Lin Xiao feel a little embarrassed.
Yang Rank! Maybe for Lin Xiao in this world, this is already an unattainable level.
Shaking his head and driving away the troubled thoughts in his heart, Lin Xiao now also seemed a little melancholy. Taking a deep breath, he asked the little hicchurl, "Did the little fat dragon leave anything else behind?"
Xiao Qiuqiu tilted his head and thought about it seriously, and said affirmatively: "No, it only communicated with me about this." ”
Lin Xiao sighed when she heard this, this little fat dragon was becoming more and more incomprehensible. But no matter what, now that he can't figure out the truth of the matter, Lin Xiao doesn't want to be indifferent about these things anymore. He just wanted to leave here with the little hilichurls as soon as possible and return to the human world as soon as possible.
At this time, Lin Xiao and the others were already in the outer environment of the forest. Therefore, the trees and grass are no longer as dense and dense, so looking for the direction, Lin Xiao picked up the small hill and quickly approached the edge of the forest.
I don't know how far I walked, Lin Xiao suddenly felt that the surrounding environment was filled with thick fog, completely enveloping everything in front of her, making everything look so dreamlike, as if entering a fairy tale world.
Such an illusory beauty made Lin Xiao very unoptimistic. For he felt as if the fog had suddenly appeared beside him. And it was surprisingly quiet all around, not even the slightest sound of birds and insects chirping. The vigorous and upright trees have also turned into branches and leaves, and the intertwined branches are like giant beasts with teeth and claws, standing alone in the thick fog, which adds a touch of chill to people.
Xiao Qiuqiu looked at the surroundings and asked strangely, "Big brother, shouldn't it be noon now, why is there such a big fog?"
Lin Xiao put the little hill down from his body, looked around carefully and said, "Maybe it's because the humidity around us is too heavy! But anyway, now we can't discern the direction in this dense fog, so we can only move forward slowly, otherwise it will be easy to get lost." ”
Xiao Qiuqiu smiled when she heard this: "Big brother, don't worry, I have a way!" As she spoke, she came to a big tree with coiled branches, stretched out her little hand to caress the rough and dry huge trunk, and silently communicated with it.
After a while, Xiao Qiuqiu opened his eyes, his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and he had a very strange expression.
Lin Xiao looked at Xiao Qiuqiu's appearance, and asked inexplicably: "What's the matter? Why do you have such an expression, I see that the trees here are all green leaves withered, and they don't look like they're all dead, right?"
Xiao Qiuqiu shook his head, looked at the trees around him that only had their branches entangled, and said with a hint of reluctance: "Although they only have branches left, they do still have a trace of vitality." But when I asked them about Ruth just now, they didn't seem willing to help. So I didn't intend to force it, but just as I was about to cut off contact with it, I suddenly felt a tremor in their emotions, and quickly pointed out the route I should take. ”
Although Lin Xiao was strange, he didn't think about it, he just wanted to get out of this fog quickly, so he said to Xiao Qiuqiu: "Okay, since we already know the route, let's get out of here quickly! ”
In this way, Lin Xiao and Xiaoqiuqiu walked slowly in this dense fog hand in hand, and Xiaoqiuqiu also communicated with the trees on both sides of the road from time to time to make sure that he was walking in the right direction.
Following the direction guided by these plants, Lin Xiao still followed the path they guided very purely at first, but the more he walked, the more doubts Lin Xiao's heart became.
It stands to reason that the closer they got to the edge of the fog, the thinner the fog became, but now it was the opposite, the haze was even thicker, and even the sky seemed much darker, and the trees without branches and leaves around them were even more sparse, and the surrounding area seemed to be desolate, and occasionally some bones buried in the earth could be found on the ground, both animal and human.
This made Lin Xiao realize that there must be some danger hidden around here. So he lit a homemade torch to dispel the gloom around him, and said to the little hilichurl solemnly: "If something special happens later, remember that you must find a safe place to hide first, and don't come out." ”
Xiao Qiuqiu also discovered that something was wrong at this time, especially when she saw the white bones of those armor existence, she couldn't help but be a little scared in her heart, and at this moment, she nodded a little nervously when she heard Lin Xiao's advice.
Lin Xiao led her to continue walking, cheering up her spirits, carefully paying attention to the movements around her, the white haze became denser and denser, even if Lin Xiao lit a torch, but still couldn't see the distance of two or three meters in front of her, the dense fog was like a substance, seriously obstructing their vision.
Suddenly, Lin Xiao faintly heard a slight rustling sound around him, but when he stopped and listened carefully, there was silence all around, and there was no sound.
Lin Xiao didn't think that this was a hallucination, although his cultivation was not high now, but he was still very confident in his feelings and judgment ability as a master.
So he whispered to Xiaoqiuqiu: "Stay close to me, if there is any danger, remember to run out as soon as you see the opportunity, don't look back, and leave me alone." You know what?"
Xiao Qiuqiu looked at Lin Xiao, with tears shining in his big eyes, and said firmly: "I don't want to leave my big brother and run alone." ”
Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, isn't this little girl quite smart? When did she become so stubborn? Could it be because of the incident with the seven-colored little elk that left her guilty in her heart?!
Lin Xiao thought about it and pretended to be angry and said, "Why are you staying? This will only become a burden to me, and neither of us will be able to leave!"
Of course, Lin Xiao didn't really say this because he was afraid that Xiaoqiuqiu would become a burden, but he understood how much ability he had now, and he was afraid that he would not be able to protect Xiaoqiuqiu and let her be hurt by then. So when she encounters danger, I just hope to buy her enough time to let her leave safely.
But obviously Lin Xiao couldn't say this, because if she said that, Xiaoqiu would probably not leave, and if she really hurt her at that time, Lin Xiao would definitely regret it for the rest of her life.
Xiaoqiuqiu bit her little lip, tears rolling in her eyes, nodded, and did not speak, but there was a resolute look in her eyes, and she didn't understand what her insistence was about?!
Lin Xiao sighed, although what he said just now was a bit heavy, it was better than letting Xiaoqiuqiu be hurt at that time.
