Chapter 16: Falling in the Fire (Revised Version)

At this time, it was the peak of yang energy, and after searching in the jungle for a long time, Zhang Maru's fair little face was dyed with crimson, which made people can't help but want to kiss it.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault, I saw a tree when I was passing by, and it had a lot of fruit, so I picked a few of them, and I made do with my hunger."

"I'll go back when we're done eating..."

Zhang Maru stretched out his hand to stretch out the hard-picked fruit to the man, raised his eyes as he spoke, and soon met the pair of affectionate eyes, as if his heart was knocked by something, and suddenly missed a beat.

"You, what are you staring at me?"

She was uncomfortable with such a look and stuttered.

"Nothing, it's just, are you sure you're not trying to poison me?"

The masked man looked at it for a long time before he slowly spit out a sentence, and the corners of his mouth did not forget to hook.

Zhang Maru was a little confused by his unprovoked words: "What did you say?" ”

"You cannot eat the fruit of your hand."

Zhang Maru looked down at the fruit, and then looked up at the masked man, his long eyelashes fluttering, as if asking why.

"Unripe, poisonous." After a while, he added in a low voice.

Hearing this, Zhang Maru's hand let go, and with a snap, the wild fruit fell to the ground, "Yes... I'm sorry, I don't know..."

The masked man was quite interested in her reaction, raising an eyebrow, "Your face seems to be very red..."

Hearing what the other party said, Zhang Maru, who continued to wander in the circle, was stunned and raised his hand to touch his little face, and after realizing that the other party was making fun of himself, he said angrily: "Hooligans! ”

She didn't know why, this kind of conversation, this feeling seemed familiar, in the depths of her memory, someone had talked to her like this, Zhang Maru put down her hand, a little overwhelmed: "You sit, I'll go to other places to find some wild fruits." Your injuries need to be treated, otherwise you will be susceptible to infection. ”

She regained her sanity at this time, and only then did she remember today's purpose, but she didn't expect to be killed by a man... Isn't it better to wear it, and I don't know how ugly it is under the mask, so why do you lose your vigilance?

The masked man felt the change in her tone and only smiled silently.

Zhang Maru raised his feet and was about to walk to the other side, thinking of something, he paused and looked back: "I haven't asked your name yet?" ”

"Order." The masked man didn't look up, enjoying the sun.

Zhang Maru tilted his head, didn't say anything, and walked out.

But as soon as she walked ten meters away, she suddenly felt dizzy, and her body was all like falling apart, staggering.

Zhang Maru blinked her eyes and looked at the tree in front of her, but found that the tree was a little blurred in her vision, and she could only hear her own wheezing at this time, and then lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

The person in the distance suddenly teleported over, looking at the person who fell to the ground, his phoenix eyes narrowed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Master, it's a great time! She had just been walking around, and she must have been poisoned by the Menghan grass on the earth and fell asleep. ”

It was the tanuki-like creature that poked out of the masked man's arms and looked up.

The masked man's red lips pursed slightly, and he didn't say a word, not knowing what to think.

"The hosts! Don't forget our mission. The Lord has left us hidden on earth so that one day we can serve Him. Finally, the enchantment has been unstable for a while, and we have just got in touch with the other world, so we can't miss the opportunity! ”

Seeing that the master still didn't respond, the confused Danfeng didn't know what he was thinking in his eyes.

"The hosts! Kill her, and we'll be able to go home in no time, and we won't have to be suffocated on Earth again! Master! ”

The masked man was still unmoved.

Seeing that the master was hesitant to decide, the spirit beast jumped out of the master's body, jumped to the side, and instantly became the size of a tiger, and after a roar, a string of fox fire sprayed towards Zhang Maru's surroundings.

Because it was in a dense forest with wild grass and dense leaves, the fire soon broke out.

"Nonsense! Who made you take matters into your own hands? ”

By the time the masked man reacted, it was too late.

The spirit beast that was frightened by his sudden roar was aggrieved and could only retreat to the side.

Ling looked at the fire that was burning more and more, raised his broad palm, but stopped in mid-air, and then slowly put it down......

A pair of Danfeng eyes were wide open, not knowing what they were thinking, and then slowly closed again, and when they opened again, they returned to a murderous appearance.

Then he silently recited a spell, and the little spirit beast shrank automatically and entered his arms again. Then the figure disappeared from the woods.

--

It's so hot! Zhang Maru felt hot all over her body, her throat was dry and painful, and her two eyes tried hard to open them, but they couldn't open them......

Oh my God, am I dying?

"Order... You... At... Where? ”

Zhang Maru shouted at the top of her throat, only to feel that the surroundings were getting hotter and hotter.

I finally opened my eyes, but I felt that there was a blur in front of me, so bright, so big fire...

"Help... Help me! “

Zhang Maru shouted weakly, struggling to stand up, but he didn't obey the command like a falling apart.

In the boiling flames, no one responded to her except the frightened birds.

Just when Zhang Maru was about to despair, a person stepped on the fire, he flew in front of her, she only felt as if she was flying, and then fell into an embrace, and then rushed out of the fire...

I don't know why, this embrace makes Zhang Maru feel particularly cordial and familiar.

She tried to see each other's appearances, but they were still blurry.

Trying to raise his hand to touch the other party's face, Zhang Maru looked at him and muttered,

"Order... Is that you? ”

Zhang Maru felt that the hand holding him tightened, and he didn't know how long it had been bumping, as if he had been put on the ground in a blur, but he still let himself lean on something.

"Don't be afraid, it's okay. I'm here! A deep but gentle voice sounded in Zhang Maru's head,

Zhang Maru raised her head, trying hard to see the other party's appearance, but she felt that the world was spinning, drowsy, and suddenly lost consciousness...

After Ling left the fire, he was in a daze at the end of the desert island.

"Master, we've finally done our job!"

He didn't pay attention to the spirit beast's questioning, his eyes looked into the distance on the water, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" The spirit beast seemed to sense the strangeness of its master and asked.

Ling lowered his head, looked at his hand, and muttered to himself, "It seems....I haven't been so happy in a long time." ”

The spirit beast seemed to be incomprehensible, and sneered: "If it weren't for the Lord's orders, the master wouldn't have appeared on this defeated earth at this moment, and he wouldn't have been able to go home for thousands of years." ”

Yes, it's been more than a thousand years, and I didn't think that so much time has passed.

"Master, aren't you happy?"

"Nope."

"Then why is your face so sad?"

"It's just been a long time since I've been happier than I am today."

"Master, she is dead, then we will soon be able to complete the Lord's task. Soon I will be able to go home and the host will definitely be happy. ”

"yes..... will I really be happy then?"
