Dark Forest

A few people walked to a jungle outside the twilight city, where the sky and the sun were covered, the forest was very deep, and even a trace of light became extremely dazzling, the carriage stopped at this time, Lu Xueyuan, Hu Sheng, and Ren Yiyi got out of the car together, and stopped in such a deep forest. Lu Xueyuan deliberately observed the surrounding environment when she got down from the carriage, and always felt that this jungle seemed to be seen somewhere, but she couldn't remember where it was. In this way, several people walked side by side towards the depths of the woods.

"This is the valley, I heard that there are many fierce beasts hidden here, ordinary people in Twilight City dare not set foot here, but there are always some people who are brave and not afraid of death, and want to shoot fierce beasts to enhance their skills, hum! But it's all wishful thinking, and there's no going back!" Hu Sheng walked forward, saying as he walked.

"Yes! The fierce beasts here are not ordinary beasts, they are all extremely fierce, and they only eat people, and there is no one who is qualified to shoot them!" Ren Yiyi said and turned to look at Lu Xueyuan who was walking behind them, a trace of disdain flashed on her face, as if she expected that no one here was qualified to shoot the fierce beasts here.

And Lu Xueyuan's condition has just improved, her body has not recovered much, it is inevitable that she will have some difficulty walking, and after a while, she will be left behind by them, she originally had a bad impression of this place, but now after listening to them, she also vaguely remembers the dream, if she remembers correctly, there should be a huge king of ten thousand snakes hidden here in this valley, such a big beast, even she has not seen it in Qingya Mountain. But why did the two of them bring her here? Lu Xueyuan suddenly had a trace of vigilance, although she said that she and Hu Sheng had an alliance with them, and planned to push the city lord of Twilight City down from the throne of the city lord, but now that she had received the favor of Twilight Tianxing, she couldn't do such a thing, not to mention that maybe there was some misunderstanding between them, if she told the two of them the secret of Twilight Tianxing's collection of a large number of black flame stones, maybe they would also change their minds and no longer fight Twilight Tianxing's idea.

So Lu Xueyuan paused, and the two people in front of him also stopped when they felt Lu Xueyuan's pause, looked at her with strange real eyes and said, "Why don't you leave? We're not where we're going yet!" Ren Yiyi said with a somewhat impatient face.

"Yes, Miss Lu, you will naturally know why we brought you here with us to that cave, there are many things you need there!" Hu Zhidu is good, but he also urged Lu Xueyuan.

"What do I want?" Lu Xueyuan had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't think deeply about it, but said to Hu Sheng and Ren Yiyi, "Actually, I have been fortunate enough to live in the City Lord's Mansion of Twilight City these days and discovered a secret of Twilight City's City Lord Twilight Tianxing." z.br>

"What's the secret?!" Ren Yiyi was the first to ask, but her eyes were extremely sharp, not at all like her daughter cared about her father, Lu Xueyuan only realized at this moment that Twilight Tianxing's daughter should be surnamed Twilight, why is Ren Yiyi not surnamed Twilight? Could it be... Ren Yiyi is not Twilight Tianxing's own daughter? Thinking of this, Lu Xueyuan couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Hu Sheng saw this Lu Xueyuan's extremely distrustful expression, so he completely turned around and said slowly: "Miss Lu, you don't know, we have a very limited grasp of Twilight Tianxing's actions, although I am on an errand in the city, but Twilight Tianxing is surrounded by personal guards, I am not allowed to get close, and Princess Ren Yiyi cannot enter the City Lord's Mansion of Twilight City."

"Don't call me Princess! I'm not a princess anymore, and I'm not his twilight daughter!" Ren Yiyi said with some annoyance.

"Why?" Lu Xueyuan didn't understand, so he could only ask further.

"Because my mother is dead, and she was killed by Twilight!" As she spoke, Ren Yiyi's eyes were full of tears and flowed down, she bit her lip tightly, as if she didn't want to let them drip down, but she still couldn't help it.

When Lu Xueyuan saw her appearance, she could only bow her head silently, thinking: Maybe she misses her mother! It's really pitiful! No wonder she hates Twilight, no wonder she doesn't have the surname Twilight.

"Miss Lu, no matter what, now that we are all standing in the same trench, you must not forget what we discussed before!" Hu Sheng reminded.

"yes, I understand." Lu Xueyuan nodded and said.

In this way, the four men continued to walk, and after walking for about half an hour, they finally came to a clearing in the valley, and on the four corners of the clearing were four spears, each of which was the thickness of an arm, and was covered with sharp barbs, and the spears did not have a fixed position, but were scattered around, without any pattern at all, as if they were guiding the direction of the beast.

Lu Xueyuan walked into the center of the clearing, carefully looked at the direction of the spear, she suddenly felt a little weird, except for her, there was not a single fierce beast in this empty place, not even the sound of insects and birds appeared. At this moment, Lu Xueyuan suddenly noticed a sharp pain in her chest, she lowered her head, and looked at the sharp arrow stuck in her chest in surprise, which was smeared with poison, and soon, she fell to the ground unconscious.

And behind Lu Xueyuan, Hu Sheng pointed to the responsibility and said, "It's not that I said that you should be lighter, and it won't end well if you really die." Ren Yiyi looked at it very indifferently, with a happy expression in her eyes, she didn't care at all if she was worried about whether Lu Xueyuan would die so easily, she just squatted down to probe her snort. found that Lu Xueyuan had completely lost his breath, so he let go of his heart hanging in his throat. "Haha, it's finally dead, now we can save trouble, we can get her spirit body without much effort, and when we find the demonic beast and suck her spiritual power out, we can transfer it to mine, and then we can defeat that old guy in Twilight Tianxing even without Lu Xueyuan's help!!" Ren Yiyi jumped up happily.

"Hmph, it's really a loss to you this time, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have found this place, and I wouldn't have had the opportunity to do this." Ren Yiyi sneered.

Hu Sheng glanced at her unconvinced when he heard this, and said, "Don't be complacent, be careful, this time it's just our luck."

"Hehe, I'd better leave this to yourself, I don't think it's any luck." After Ren Yiyi finished speaking, she no longer paid attention to Hu Sheng and looked at Lu Xueyuan's corpse, her eyes narrowed into a slit.

Hu Sheng and Ren Yiyi were busy until the middle of the moon, and then dragged the corpse under a towering ancient tree next to it, Ren Yiyi raised Lu Xueyuan's head and said to Hu Sheng, "You are keeping vigil outside, you must ensure our safety tonight, otherwise you don't want to leave!" After saying that, he turned around and disappeared into the thick fog, Hu Sheng glanced at the forest helplessly, but he didn't dare to disobey her order, so he had to sit there alone and keep vigil.

At this moment, Lu Xueyuan was lying on the cold and damp grass, she tried hard to open her eyes, but to no avail, her body was sore. "Who?" She suddenly sensed a dangerous aura, and she quickly closed her eyes and stared with bated breath, but she didn't see any figures. Did you feel wrong just now? At this time, a hideous and distorted face appeared in front of her, Lu Xueyuan was frightened, but she still forced herself to calm down, she tried to reach out to attack that person, but as soon as she moved her body, she felt a tearing pain.

"Hehe, it's a paper tiger!" After that, the terrifying face gradually moved away, Lu Xueyuan breathed a sigh of relief, she got up from the ground with difficulty, but found that Hu Sheng, who was originally guarding her side, had fainted on the ground at the moment, looking unconscious. So she hurried away, but as soon as she took two steps, she felt that her body was getting weaker and weaker, and she fell unwillingly in the grass, and at this moment she didn't even have the strength to stand up.

Lu Xueyuan looked bitterly at the dark surroundings, her heart was like ashes, at this time, she suddenly felt a slight coldness on her neck, as if a pair of eyes were staring at herself, Lu Xueyuan turned her head sideways with difficulty, she saw an ugly grimace, and the disgusting claw was grabbing her neck.

"Save... Help me...... Help!" Lu Xueyuan snorted weakly.

"Crunch." With the sound of bones shattering, the grimace moved slowly, and finally stopped in front of Lu Xueyuan. Lu Xueyuan looked at the bloody mouth in horror, and the bloody teeth flashed with coldness, as if he chose someone to devour. At this moment, a gentle and sweet voice suddenly came from Lu Xueyuan's ears: "Miss Lu, are you okay?" The grimace's tongue stuck out of its mouth to lick the blood on Lu Xueyuan's neck, which made her feel creepy, but she couldn't move at all.

At this time, a delicate and delicate girl appeared in front of her, the girl was wearing a yellow gauze skirt, her skin was better than snow, her hair was shawl, and her small and delicate melon seed face was inlaid with a pair of curved willow eyebrows, and she had a light fragrance on her body, especially her smile, which made people feel extremely happy and trusting.

"This girl, where is this place?" Lu Xueyuan asked in a calm tone as much as possible.

"This is the Dark Forest, what's wrong?" The woman asked.

"Dark Forest?" Lu Xueyuan frowned and repeated the name, she really didn't have an impression of the dark forest in her memory.

"Well, I also broke into here by mistake, so I got lost, and I hope the girl can tell me." Lu Xueyuan asked politely.

"So you don't know the Dark Forest, this is an ordinary forest sea, we call it the Dark Forest, because this forest is shrouded in black mist, and the wind is gusting, so it is called the Dark Forest." The woman patiently explained.

After hearing this, Lu Xueyuan asked suspiciously, "Since it's a misty forest, why haven't I heard of it?"

The woman smiled, "This Black Mist Forest is more mysterious than you think!"
