Chapter 22: Thank you for protecting my dreams
These four are more than twenty feet tall, and if they are not hunchbacked, they can stick out of the canopy.
The liquid in the mouth is low, and the flowers and plants become withered the moment they come into contact.
Oh!!
The deafening roar made Wang Xiaoyi and the others have a look of horror in their eyes.
"What the hell is the second trial! What the hell! ”
A battle kicked off here, Ma Chi was seriously injured, in addition to Wang Xiaozhi and Liu Shuo, there were nineteen people, and after all four were killed, there were only twelve people left.
For the first time, Wang Xiaozhi ran out of the forest with a disgraced face, and the scene that happened just now made him unstoppably afraid.
"This is no ordinary monster... It's so weird..."
"Xiaoshen, those creatures can actually devour the flames, otherwise I wouldn't have dragged my feet", Ma Chi looked at Wang Xiaozhi and explained with Liu Shuo's support.
And he waved his hand, and those scattered small monsters didn't seem to be chasing, which also allowed them to take a breath.
"Get out of here as soon as possible and rest on the outskirts of the plains"
On the other hand, Song Qin was not as miserable as them, and had already run out from the other end of the forest.
Zhang Er dug out the figure under the dirt and observed it carefully.
It's not very big, only the size of a human head, but it is very weighty, and I don't know what material it is, and there is no sound when I knock it, but my fingers are shaken and hurt.
"What is this?" , Wen Xiaoxiao in the water also walked out, holding her long hair with her hands, and her attention was quickly attracted by the statue.
"I don't know, I found it when I was digging wild vegetables", Zhang Er shook his head, but when he flipped the statue over.
However, on both sides of the back of the statue, I saw traces similar to card slots.
"Could it be a switch on something? Or just decorations? He looked around and saw that there was no statue of the kind.
Even the walls were bare, and there were no traces of them except for the sparse canes of plants.
"Take it first, what's the use in case", but Wen Xiaoxiao was still watching, and he couldn't fit it into the space backpack, so he simply tore off the corner of his clothes and tied it around his waist.
"Alas...", Wen Xiaoxiao followed behind, looking at the endless dark corridor, sighed deeply, and the pockets on her body were also filled with the weeds on the other side of the lake just now.
It's better than anyway...
As he returned, Zhang Er counted the marks he had left on the ground and stopped around a corner.
"I was very resistant to walking this way just now", he squinted his eyes, in the depths of this passage, I don't know why he could always feel a trace of danger, and when he passed by just now, he walked into the lake without hesitation.
I didn't expect to come back, and glanced at Wen Xiaoxiao behind me, "Let's rest here for a while before leaving, I think there must be something ahead"
"Okay", she nodded without thinking about it, I don't know why this man has a feeling of being very reassuring, which is something that cannot be felt in others, including Wang Xiaozhi.
Probably because of his dedication, that noble soul, he felt that he was full of filth and could only look up.
"Zhang Ling, I'm very grateful to you", Wen Xiaoxiao, who was resting in the dark, suddenly said to herself.
"Do you know, your appearance opened a crack in my heart, which I hadn't opened for a long time"
"I thought that in this world, no one would stand up to protect a weak woman in times of crisis"
"Thank you for protecting my dreams"
Zhang Er listened quietly, reasoning If he was really what Wen Xiaoxiao said, he would probably jump up happily now.
But the fact ... It's a little hard to speak... Even his own name is made up...
"Every time my oracle sets out, he says something to me, do you know what it is?"
This time, Zhang Er did not carry personal emotions, and replied calmly.
"What?" Through the darkness, she seemed to drop all of her eyes on his face.
"To Live"
"Yes?"
Wen Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, she could see the disgust in her divine angel's eyes, but in this world, what can a woman rely on to protect herself.
Is it ability, or superior wisdom?
It's not right, it's beauty and body, although she understands that there will be a day when that person gets tired of it, then she has no meaning to exist.
So she constantly pleases and uses her body hard.
"You actually hate me too", she seemed to sigh, and she saw it at the beginning, but in order to live...
Zhang Er paused, he didn't expect Wen Xiaoxiao to ask like this, "You're a smart woman, aren't you?"
The air gradually quieted down, and in the dark space, Wen Xiaoxiao's eyes could be seen flickering.
"Thank you, let's get to know each other again after we leave, okay?"
"Then it depends on whether you can get out"
He stood up, if Song Qin and they were also in the maze, how could he say that he had to be faster, Wen Xiaoxiao's thoughts were only hers.
In the dark mist, that sense of crisis became more and more intense as it deepened.
But a light behind him illuminated the way ahead, he turned his head, a little incredulous, he had proposed before that she should use her ability to illuminate.
But she used her strength to consume her strength, afraid that he would leave her behind, and refused.
I didn't expect to take the initiative at this moment.
But when I turned my head, I only saw Wen Xiaoxiao's rare smile, "What?" Do I have flowers on my face? ”
In the light of the light, their speed of progress made a qualitative leap until they came to a dilapidated place.
It is more like a kind of platform for sacrifice, surrounded by four thick stone pillars, carved with all kinds of rare beasts that have never been seen before.
In the center is a large stone platform, although it has cracked and collapsed, you can feel that a long, long time ago, the blood of many people here was melted into the inanimate stone.
And the aura that made Zhang Er feel dangerous also slowly flowed from this stone platform.
He touched it lightly, and at the same time, his mind exploded, as if there were countless screams and shouts, and a terrifying rush of blood rushed in.
"...", Zhang Er broke out in a cold sweat on his head in an instant, and he stepped back with palpitations.
"What's wrong?" Seeing him like this, Wen Xiaoxiao hurriedly walked over.
"It's okay, but it's weird here...", Zhang Er looked around through the light in Wen Xiaoxiao's hand, and there was actually a stone door behind the platform.
The pattern on it is roughly the same as the one on the walls of the labyrinth.
Around the stone gate, three quaint statues are erected, sitting opposite each other, only the size of a human head.
There was a gap, and it seemed that something was missing, Zhang Er pondered for a moment and took out the statue on his waist.
"Plug it in?" , this is what Zhang Er is considering, no one knows if the stone gate can be opened, and he doesn't know what is behind the stone gate.
If you don't plug it in, you don't know how long you'll have to wander around the maze.
The two looked at each other and nodded.
The statue pushed Zhang Er's hand and slowly pushed it in.
Click~!
A sound caught the attention of the two, and they all focused their eyes on the stone door, and a desolate aura began to flow outward along the cracks in the door.
No one noticed that the originally broken stone platform gradually bulged out from the center as the stone door opened.
"Are you going out?" , Wen Xiaoxiao's eyes flashed with excitement, she never wanted to be here anymore, the dark life, the days of eating, if she hadn't dared to think about it before.
Without waiting for Zhang Er to reply, the stone needle wrapped around his wrist began to tremble violently, as if this aura had disturbed it, and with Zhang Er's consciousness, it also slowly merged into the air flow.
He saw a man, a man, dressed in soft armor and holding a golden spear.
At this moment, he was standing on a high mountain, his eyes closed as if he was feeling the power between heaven and earth, and then the rolling thunderclouds exploded.
The countless black mist under the mountain slowly writhed, and when you looked closely, you could find that those were actually people, or a certain kind of demon.
They roared angrily and headed towards the top of the mountain, and the man's eyes slowly opened, and suddenly the sun was shining into the sky.
There was no expression or emotion on his face, only a cold indifference to the soul, and with a flick of the spear, the air was torn apart, and a sonic boom was emitted, and the mountain peak was cut off.
"Zhang Ling!! Zhang Ling!! ”
"Wake up!! What's wrong with you!! Wen Xiaoxiao shouted in horror, pulling his consciousness back from the shock just now.
With the source of the voice, Zhang Er's pupils trembled in an instant, a strange bear, his body had been eroded, and it seemed that he had been dead for a long time, but the cloudiness and mania in his eyes allowed his body to rush wildly in this space.
And Wen Xiaoxiao, holding a golden short knife, kept attacking and harassing, trying to pull the monster away from Zhang Er's position.
But she didn't have any combat experience, and under Zhang Er's gaze, she was quickly slapped on the shoulder by the bear claw.
The blood gushing out of his mouth and the eyes that still guarded his fortitude made Zhang Er stunned.
couldn't have imagined that this woman he didn't like was actually protecting herself, or maybe she was sorry in her heart.
With the force under his feet, Zhang Er turned into a lightning bolt at this moment, and appeared in front of Wen Xiaoxiao in his stunned eyes.
She is not heavy, with a height of 1.6 meters and an already thin body, Zhang Er can completely stop her waist and pick it up, and she reappears in another corner of the space that is already standing.
Looking at the stone door, a gap has just opened, and it seems that it will take a long time.
"Hold it tighter", Zhang Er took a deep breath, in order to avoid her in the past few days, he hadn't eaten much well, and his body was also at a critical point.
He didn't have the means to attack himself, so he could only drag it until the stone gate could accommodate it.
Wen Xiaoxiao was just stunned, and then buried her face in Zhang Er's chest, at this moment she felt an unprecedented sense of security, as well as happiness.
The protection of not asking for anything in return is something she has never had in her life, and she cherishes it here.
The speed of the strange bear was not very fast, so he had a lot of respite, but the speed at which the stone door opened still couldn't catch up with the consumption of physical strength.
If he hadn't taken Wen Xiaoxiao with him, he would definitely be safe and sound, but Wen Xiaoxiao's eyes just now had already made him have to save him.
Although he can't be called a good person, he is definitely not a bad person.
