Chapter 157: The Forest of Bones

Qiao Mi's voice was suddenly mixed with many voices, and Qiao Xiya couldn't help but be frightened.

"Xiya, go home with your mother."

Perhaps because of the turmoil in Qiao Xiya's heart, Qiao Mi's voice sounded again, and it was a little clearer than just now.

Qiao Xiya couldn't help but look around, and an inexplicable desire rose in her heart, go home, she wanted to go home. Tears quickly overflowed his eyes.

"Let's go home with my mother." Jomi's voice became clearer and clearer, so much so that Qiao Xiya could easily determine where the voice was.

She looked in that direction, two gently flickering red lanterns glowing a faint red light in the darkness.

The two legs walked uncontrollably towards the two red lanterns, and as they got closer and closer, the words "Qiaofu" between the two red lanterns became clearer and clearer.

"Come, come, go home with my mother." Qiao Mishi stood at the door, looking at Qiao Xiya with a smile and tears. The vermilion lacquer door behind him was hidden, and the crack in the middle was so dark that she couldn't see a trace of light, which made Qiao Xiya feel flustered for no reason. But his legs still walked quickly towards Jomi.

"Come, take my mother's hand and go home with my mother." Jommy smiled and held out his hand.

"Shia!" Just as Qiao Xiya's outstretched hand was about to be grabbed by Qiao Mi's clan, Mo Haoning's voice suddenly sounded, and a snowy sword light separated the two.

Qiao Mi's face sank: "Who dares to be presumptuous in front of my Qiao Mansion!"

"Demons! Look at the sword!" Mo Haoning fell from the sky with a sharp sword in his hand, and the cold and shining sword peak went straight to the two red lanterns.

"Whew!" A howl that resounded through the sky made Qiao Xiya completely sober up, where is there a cave, it is still an illusion, and then looked up to look for the two red lanterns, only to find that it was made of the ends of two whiskers, and the gate of Qiao's mansion is the mouth of a giant insect.

Mo Haoning cut off the tentacles of the giant insect with a sword, and also completely broke the illusion in front of Qiao Xiya's eyes.

Looking at Mo Haoning, who had body temperature and a shadow, Qiao Xiya's tense heart finally relaxed, and tears burst out of her eyes: "Lord Wang!"

"You're still alive!" The giant insect looked at Mo Haoning in front of him condescendingly.

"I said, it's up to you, you can't even trap Chuyun, and you still want to trap this king? I think you're delusional!" Mo Haoning snorted coldly, shook his hand, and threw the slime hanging on the sword to the ground, "If you dare to pretend to be a ghost at the border, this king will send you to see the king of Hades!" With that, he flew forward and went straight to the throat of the giant worm.

A piercing sound came, Qiao Xiya looked up, a string of sparks flashed in front of her eyes, Mo Haoning's figure flickered in mid-air, repeatedly brushing shoulders with the sickle-like claws of giant insects, and Qiao Xiya's heart was shocked.

Mo Haoning stepped on one of the legs of the giant insect, escaped from the attack range of the giant insect with the help of strength, and made a somersault in mid-air, landing steadily.

"Don't look into its eyes, run!" Mo Haoning said, picked up Qiao Xiya and ran.

I don't know what the reason is, but the giant insect that I thought would chase after it didn't move at all, and I didn't have the slightest intention of chasing. Instead, he watched the two run away and eventually disappeared.

Mo Haoning pulled Qiao Xiya and ran for a long time before stopping, and it was only then that Qiao Xiya found that Mo Haoning's clothes were actually stained with blood.

"Are you hurt?" Qiao Xiya's heart hurt a little.

"Minor injuries, it's not in the way." Mo Haoning looked down and smiled, "Are you okay?"

"It's fine." Qiao Xiya shook her head, "Does the prince know when he separated from me?"

"It's after the fake Hatsuyun and the fake Xia He are dealt with." Mo Haoning sighed softly, looked around again, and then took the lead and pointed to the left front, "Let's go, talk as you go." qs

"After I got rid of the false clouds, I found myself in the woods, and after killing all kinds of insects, I climbed down the trunk to the top of the tree only to find that the forest was actually in a big pit, and just as I was about to find a way out of the pit, I saw you walking towards the big insect with a blank gaze. I called out to you for a long time, but you didn't respond, and at that moment, the trunk I grabbed turned into white bones, and in desperation, I had to break two white bones and climb out of the pit. back

You know everything." While speaking, Mo Haoning took Qiao Xiya to a huge pit, and the two white bones discarded by the pit confirmed Mo Haoning's words just now.

Qiao Xiya looked at it, and there were standing, lying, and squatting in the pit, and the smashed white bones were densely packed, almost filling the entire pit.

"This is it." Mo Haoning pointed to the huge pit in front of him, "If it weren't for these soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country, maybe I wouldn't have been able to get out of this pit."

"What did the prince say this is?" Qiao Xiya frowned, looked at the pit full of white bones and asked uneasily.

"O soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country." Mo Haoning repeated again, "What's wrong? If it weren't for the soldiers who died in battle, how could there be so many bones?"

"Sacrifice." Qiao Xiya shook her head slightly, "These people are for sacrifice."

"Sacrifice?" Mo Haoning couldn't believe his ears.

"Lord Wang, don't you see if these bones don't have a left hand?" Qiao Xiya's fingers pointing at Bai Gu trembled slightly.

Mo Haoning looked carefully, and the more he looked, the more frightened he became, all the white bones in the pit, no matter where they were, no matter what posture, whether they were complete or not, they didn't see the bones of a single left hand.

"Who is it? To whom are you sacrificing?" Mo Haoning asked again and again. Since the founding of Daning, human sacrifice has been strictly prohibited, so this pile of white bones is undoubtedly a provocation to Daning's imperial power.

"Let's go down and see." With that, Qiao Xiya squatted down and slid down the pit wall.

"Hey......" Mo Haoning wanted to pull Qiao Xiya's hand into the air, seeing that Qiao Xiya was about to fall on the white bones of the forest, Mo Haoning hurriedly jumped down and barely supported Qiao Xiya, "Be careful!"

The bones are white, overlapping, and the two of them will make a breaking sound from time to time when they step on it.

Qiao Xiya stopped in front of a standing white bone. She stretched out her hand and stroked it little by little, the cold bones were wrapped in a thin layer of oily skin, and the dense pits on the bones penetrated through the oily skin, making the scalp tingle to the touch.

"This man was bitten alive by worms and gnawed to bones." Qiao Xiya's voice trembled, colliding against the white bones like a forest, making people tremble.

Qiao Xiya squatted down and took away all the broken bone slag next to her, revealing her feet standing on the skeleton, and the lack of the little finger of her right foot made Qiao Xiya feel excited.

"What does that mean?" The mutilated foot bones made Mo Haoning feel strange.

Qiao Xiya didn't answer Mo Haoning, but sped up the cleaning of her hands.

Soon, another foot bone with a missing little finger appeared in front of Qiao Xiya.

The bones are also densely packed pits that have been gnawed by insects.

"Someone is offering sacrifices to the Worm King." Qiao Xiya held a white bone full of small pits and trembled.
