Alien Forest, outskirts.

During the day, Xin'er hurried without saying a word, without sadness or sadness, but every dusk and sunset, Xin'er would sit under a tree, gnawing on dry food, while letting tears run down her cheeks, soak the dry food, and swallow it in one gulp, until night fell, Xin'er's eyebrows flashed with a milky white halo, prompting Xin'er to fall into a deep sleep and then wrap Xin'er in the halo to protect her from the attack of spirit beasts. The days of this repetition lasted for three days, and Xin'er gave her strength to the light and her vulnerability to the darkness.

Running all the way, I unconsciously came to a plain. Many low-level spirit beasts were killed by Xin'er mercilessly, and although the spirit beast died, it took away Xin'er's warmth and mercy. The cold corpse on the ground seemed to tell a sad story to passers-by.

Suddenly, three figures appeared in front of Xin'er's eyes, and when she finally saw Xin'er of the same kind, she couldn't help but feel a little excited, and her desire for the collective made Xin'er want to go in the direction of someone, but the self-protection mechanism wanted Xin'er to hide. However, there was no hiding place in such an empty grassland, and Xin'er was a little overwhelmed for a while, standing there motionless.

The three people who came to meet them naturally saw Xin'er who appeared on the plain. The leader couldn't help but be alert when he saw such a suffocatingly beautiful girl suddenly appear, and motioned to the other two to slow down. At this time, the man next to him with a short figure and an obscene expression said to the person in charge: "Eh, Lin Chuan, have you seen the little beauty in front, hurry up and arrest her, I haven't tasted such a tender masterpiece for a long time." ”

Lin Chuan glanced at the man with disdain and said: "Shen Jiazheng, is your head gnawed stupidly by sperm worms, this kind of ghost place appears out of thin air a girl who looks so good, there must be fraud in it, if you dare to think anything wrong, you will definitely die a miserable death, hurry up and put away your ghost thoughts, maybe the age of the person is older than the three of us combined." ”

Shen Jiazheng still didn't give up, and said to the man in a black robe with a scar on his face beside him: "Cai Shao, why don't the two of us find an opportunity to get rid of this girl and add a new collection to you, and you can borrow it from me from time to time." ”

Cai Shao said coldly: "I'm not as stupid as you." ”

Shen Jiazheng saw that both of them were so timid, so he stopped talking, but a pair of eyes were still staring at Xin'er like a wolf in heat.

The three of them came to Xin'er's side, and Lin Chuan said to Xin'er: "Girl, dare to ask why you are alone here, but you are accompanied by relatives and friends?"

The first time she talked to a stranger alone, Xin'er was a little nervous, grabbed the corner of her clothes and said, "I, I'm lost, can you take me home?"

Seeing Xin'er so delicate, Shen Jiazheng's lower body was about to erupt into flames, and a pair of *** eyes looked at Xin'er directly, which made Xin'er very uncomfortable. Lin Chuan looked at Xin'er carefully and found that he couldn't see through Xin'er's cultivation, which made Lin Chuan more cautious: "Dare to ask where Miss's family lives?"

has just entered the rivers and lakes, but Xin'er has not forgotten the nameless teaching - when she goes out, she only talks three points when she meets people. Although she was still a little nervous, Xin'er still said, "I live in Luohua City." ”

Lin Chuan said with some differences: "That's a coincidence, a few of us just came out of Falling Flower City on a mission a few days ago. If the girl doesn't dislike it, she can come with us, and we'll go back together when we're done. ”

Finally got rid of the situation of being alone and being able to be accompanied by someone, Xin'er was a little excited in her heart. But the surface was still silent and said: "Then there are a few uncles of Lao." ”

Lin Chuan waved his hand and said: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, the so-called meeting is fate, it seems that we have a fate for each other." My name is Lin Chuan, a level 39 earth attribute magician, this dwarf is called Shen Jiazheng, a third-order warrior, and the one in a black robe is called Cai Jianyu, a level 38 ice attribute magician. You can call us whatever you want, dare to ask the girl's name?"

The mutated attributes of ice and water are less flexible and more firm, just like Cai Shao himself, less enthusiasm and more indifference.

Xin'er said to the three: "My name is Tian Xin'er, just call me Xin'er, and ask a few people for advice." ”

Lin Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Please advise, Miss Xin'er." ”

Shen Jiazheng couldn't help but step forward, greedily breathing the air around Xin'er, rubbing on Xin'er's body and saying, "Xin'er, you are so beautiful, you are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen, how old are you? What spices do you use? Why is it so fragrant?"

Xin'er was a little uncomfortable with this deliberate approach, but said lightly: "Shen Jiazheng, senior, you are really enthusiastic." ”

Shen Jiazheng was about to say something more, but was pulled by Lin Chuan's sleeve, looking at Lin Chuan shaking his head at himself, Shen Jiazheng had no choice but to give up, and hugged his fist at Xin'er and said: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, just a little presumptuous, please forgive Miss Xin'er." ”

Xin'er just nodded and asked Lin Chuan, "Senior Lin Chuan, what task are you taking?"

"Hunt the fourth-order dual-element tiger to obtain its spirit core, which is a tiger with fire and earth attributes, with a ferocious appearance, brave and devouring, and extremely difficult to deal with. But it is said that the two-element tiger is full of treasures, the skin can be made of armor, the flesh can be strengthened, the bones can be cast, and the blood can be molded. Unfortunately, the binary tiger is extremely cunning, and once he feels that he is going to die, he will ignite himself and explode. There is only one spirit core left, but even if there is only one dual-attribute spirit core, it is very precious. Lin Chuan explained

Xin'er pondered for a while and said, "I have the spirit core of the fourth-order dual-element tiger. ”

The three of them stopped and looked at Xin'er with surprised faces. I saw Xin'er take out a spirit core that shone with red and yellow light from her arms, which was the fourth-order dual-element tiger spirit core!

The red and yellow light shone on the surprised faces of the three of them, and behind this surprise, there was a trace of greed.

Lin Chuan was the first to come back to his senses, took a deep breath and said, "Dare to ask Miss Xin'er where the spirit core is." ”

Xin'er didn't want to expose too much, so she just said casually: "I picked it up on the road." ”

This reason is obviously unconvincing, but Lin Chuan still said respectfully: "Miss Xin'er is really lucky." ”

Xin'er said: "This spirit core will be given to you, and now you should be able to set off and return to Flower City." After all, with the strength of the three of you, it is still a bit risky to kill the Fourth-Order Dual-Element Tiger. ”

"What Miss Xin'er said is very true, in that case, let's go back. With that, Lin Chuan planned to reach out for the spirit core.

Xin'er put away the spirit core and said, "I'll help you put this spirit core away first, and I'll give it to you when I get to Falling Flower City." ”

Lin Chuan said with a smile: "Then Miss Lao Xin'er will help save it." ”

The four of them started their return journey, and the three of them were very respectful to Xin'er along the way, and even Shen Jiazheng didn't dare to do anything inappropriate. All four of them were silent and walked forward with their heads bowed. This made the twelve-year-old Xin'er somewhat uncomfortable, on the one hand, she hoped that her generosity would be exchanged for honest enthusiasm rather than cautious awe. On the other hand, she doesn't want to expose too much and let others see her weak side. She is eager to communicate, but she is reluctant to take the initiative to speak, eager to talk but unwilling to put her heart into her heart, eager for recognition, but afraid to express herself. All kinds of contradictions are intertwined, and all kinds of desires can't be satisfied, which makes Xin'er more and more reluctant to tell the truth, the more she wants to hide herself, and the more she becomes what she hates, but she is helpless.

Of course, the three of them didn't know Xin'er's contradictory feelings, but they only felt that the seemingly young girl in front of them might not be easy to mess with, and the forces behind it might not be simple. Lin Chuan thought about it and never remembered which big family in Luohua City had such an amazing daughter. After all, once the seeds of greed are planted, if there is no suppression of authority, it will spread infinitely in the heart under the nourishment of desire, and once the heart cannot bear it, it will emerge and devour the source of greed.

Fortunately, now that the seeds of greed have not spread, the three of them are still a little uncertain about Xin'er, and they have never dared to make any abnormal moves. The four of them walked in the direction of Falling Flower City, and then came to a jungle, Xin'er followed closely, and the four of them were silent, only the eye contact between Lin Chuan and the three of them.

Until dusk and sunset, the red glow shines obliquely through the dense branches into the jungle, forming pillars of light that support the jungle and imprint mottled shadows on the ground. Lin Chuan stopped and said: "Let's rest here today, and continue to hurry tomorrow, Shen Jia is setting up the tent, Cai Shaohuo will rely on you, I'll go find something to eat." ”

Xin'er asked, "Well, what should I do?" Lin Chuan said: "It's good that Miss Xin'er is waiting here, don't get lost again." ”

Xin'er had to look around to find a place to sit, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

The three of them are veterans of wild life, and in a short time four tents, a bonfire, and a pot of stew will be ready. In the wild, simplicity and practicality are the only rules. Four improvised tents, a warm campfire, and a pot of simmering are enough to drive away the fatigue of a long day's travel. Survive the dark night with peace of mind and start the day with better energy.

Lin Chuan beckoned Xin'er to sit down by the fire, took a bowl of stew and handed it to Xin'er: "You can't make anything good in the wild, if Miss Xin'er doesn't dislike it, taste it, fill your stomach and have the strength to hurry tomorrow." ”

Xin'er took the bowl and said thank you, then picked up the chopsticks and tasted it. Although it is not as delicious as the nameless cooking, after all, it is hot and made by people, and Xin'er has been tired of eating all the dry food left by the nameless these days. Now that she eats the food made by another person, Xin'er's heart is somewhat comfortable.

Lin Chuan seemed to notice Xin'er's change and asked, "Can Miss Xin'er tell me why she got lost in that kind of place?"
