Chapter Seventy-Four: Xinghaigen

"Since you said that you are on the side of the defending party, then why did I hear that Wang Ruoran killed Ouyang Xing, the son of the chief instructor, and Professor Ou Weiqian in order to steal the ashlar?"

"I've heard about this for a long time, but it definitely won't be my sister's hand," Lin said, "My sister doesn't even want to trample on an ant to death, and it is more difficult to tell her to kill someone than to ascend to the sky, and besides, she is only a half-spirit." ”

Mu Zilei didn't fully agree with this, after all, if Wang Ruoran really practiced "A Trick at the Entrance", then she would have the ability to kill.

"Didn't you do the thing about the broken army on the top floor of the cafeteria?" he remembered another suspicion.

"I had already left before he came to the top floor, and the two of us had never met. Obviously, this was the work of the thief club. ”

"What I have always been puzzled about is, since you know that the ashlar has been hidden inside the twin flowers, why didn't you act sooner?"

"First, I didn't know how to pass the evil spirit level, and secondly, I always thought that the six keys to open the ashlar were still on the body of the thief party. Later, when the army broke, I learned that the thieves had really infiltrated the academy, and it was very likely that they had noticed the twin flowers on the roof. So, after I thought about how to deal with the evil spirits, I had to take the risk, intending to take the ashlar out before the thieves would meet. ”

"However, this is just wishful thinking on my part, in fact, before us, I believe that the first batch of thieves from the Fang Society had already rushed into the Fangshi, otherwise the six keys would not have been left next to the Fangshi, but unfortunately they failed, but left us with a mess," he said. My grandfather once told me that when this main spiritual root was sealed in the ashlar, it was only the length and thickness of an arm, and our guards also set up a spirit array in the ashlar that was enough to make it sleep for at least a thousand years, but now it has only been three hundred years, and it has woken up, someone must have accidentally destroyed this spirit array before us, and also sent it a huge amount of spiritual nourishment, causing it to grow. ”

Compared with Duanmu An, who repeatedly killed him, Mu Zilei felt that Wang Haoran in front of him was much more credible, maybe the previous misunderstanding of him was caused by chasing after the wind and shadows.

"I will take your word for the time being," he said, "and I will get you out of here now, and then we will leave together." ”

"It's useless, we are all destined to die here," Wang Haoran said, "but with the people of the Thieves' Association to be buried together, I will die without regrets." ”

Mu Zilei ignored his words, stepped forward and tried to get rid of the fine roots wrapped around Wang Haoran's body, he pulled and kicked, but these fine roots just didn't react.

Since the hard ones were not good, let's try the soft ones, and he began to caress them gently and tickly, and the thin roots loosened slightly, but before he could rejoice, they suddenly contracted, and they were wrapped more tightly than before. Wang Haoran's face turned red with pork liver, and he was almost out of breath.

Mu Zilei was at a loss for a while, and in the end, he simply took a big bite on the fine roots, this time it seemed to work, and although the few fine roots that were bitten were not damaged at all, they still let go. Wang Haoran immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"It turns out that you have to bite it. Mu Zilei muttered to himself, and wanted to bite down like that.

At this time, Wang Haoran's eyes stared straight at a place in front of him, and he was so shocked that he forgot to breathe for a while. He wanted to call Mu Zilei, but his mouth was immediately sealed by the thin roots sticking out from both sides, and then the whole person completely melted into the root wall, completely sealed, leaving only a gray shadow through the wall membrane.

Mu Zilei was stunned on the spot, but fortunately he could still feel his breathing through the wall membrane.

Suddenly, a terrible wave of heat came, and the back of his neck tingled, as if something had gotten in, and he hurriedly touched it, but found nothing.

"Help me......" A delicate voice came from behind him coldly.

He turned around and saw a girl who seemed to be only in her twelve, sweet-looking but bewitching, embedded in the tree wall, just like Wang Haoran, with only her head exposed

Mu Zilei hurriedly ran over, but before his hand could touch anything, those thin roots quickly retracted back into the tree wall like snow.

The girl fell weakly into Mu Zilei's arms like a ripe fruit.

"What's wrong with you, wake up!" he had never seen a girl with such red skin, in fact, she was a little too red, like a fire, and her body was burning.

"Who are you, why am I here?" the girl suddenly opened her big innocent eyes and looked blankly at the person who had saved her.

"My name is Mu Zilei, you were wrapped in the fine roots here just now, by the way, how did you get in? with Duanmu'an and them? Or are you just a student of the Bacon Academy like me?"

"Perhaps, I don't remember exactly, I seem to have slept for a long, long time, but the anger of betrayal, the fear of being trapped in one place and never getting out, and the helplessness of being tormented by loneliness are very clear," said the girl, "should I also give you a name, then you can call me Xinghaigen." ”

"Hagan, you must have had a nightmare," Mu Zilei asserted, completely unaware of how strange the name was for a girl. He thought to himself that this girl was probably inadvertently following in after he broke into the twin flowers, before the spirit circle was closed, "Let's escape together now and find the hall head and teachers to help." ”

He helped the girl to her feet. Lin ...... No, Wang Haoran," before leaving, Mu Zilei said to the boy in the film, "We are going to move the rescuers now, you have to hold on." ”

He led the girl to the depths of the spiritual roots, and when he reached a place, he found that he had come to a dead end, and the front was densely packed with tightly intertwined roots.

Mu Zilei tried to sense it with the power of inspiration, but the surroundings seemed to be shrouded in a thick fog, and he couldn't sense anything. As he hesitated to turn back and choose another path, the girl's sweet voice rang out again.

"Look, the roots have retreated. ”

Sure enough, the impermeable roots of the tree shrank through the walls of the trees in all directions like snow, and they continued on their way, encountering them several times along the way, but in the end they all made way for them as they had been the first time.

They walked a long way unimpeded, but Mu Zilei found that they finally returned to the place where Wang Haoran was trapped, and they tried many times, but finally returned to the original point.

"Are we going to die here?" Every time she returned to the original point, the girl asked Mu Zilei the same question, not with fear or worry, but with an expression of interest that seemed to be playing an exploration game.

"Don't worry, we'll definitely get out. Mu Zilei replied like this every time, but the repeated frustration made his words sound hollow. Until the twenty-sixth failure, despair filled his whole brain, and he sat on the ground in discouragement, staring blankly ahead, thinking that it might be good to die like this, and be absorbed as fertilizer by the spiritual root.

The girl next to her smiled contemptuously, and the roots of the trees crept out of the surrounding walls, all squirming towards the frustrated boy.

Just as a tree root crawled behind him, erecting like a cobra, about to launch a fatal blow, Mu Zilei suddenly raised his head, and all the roots shrank back in fright.

"Hagan, I'm sorry," he said, turning to the girl, "I shouldn't have given up so quickly, I still want to find my father, I want to see my mother, my grandfather and grandmother, my good friends, my teachers, you must miss them too, come, let's cheer up, we can definitely go out." ”

He stood up and stretched out his hand to the girl sitting on the ground, and after a moment of astonishment, the girl obediently put her little hand up and let him pull it up.

Mu Zilei still walked in front to lead the way, and the girl followed him quietly, a playful smile bloomed at the corner of the girl's mouth, fleeting.
