Chapter 21: Shadow Creeps to Xijing (1)
Maya carried the dying Circumference on her back and overtook Changya's golden horse at a gallop, and walked diagonally to the south, behind which a herd of six-legged horses like a dark cloud occupied half of the grassland, and covered it with great momentum, but she was thrown farther and farther away, and she ran all the way south, and heard the earth-shattering sound gradually reaching the west in front of her, knowing that she was out of danger.
She settled down and looked into the distance, and the prairie of the Pingchuan River that caught her eyes was still the shadow of the black leaf forest, and she didn't know how far she had run, let alone where she had gone. She turned around and ran back for another hour, still seeing a patch of grass. So she went south again, hoping not to surpass the Black Leaf Forest, but she could no longer find the Black Leaf Forest that was extremely terrifying and would now give her hope in the open world. She couldn't make out her direction at this time, and she lost the trace of the Black Leaf Forest.
She was finally tired, put down the prince on her back, saw that he was breathing weakly, remembered that Zhang Lu's anti-poison elixir was still on her body, and fed him one, and after a while, seeing that his breathing had become slightly steady, she was a little relieved.
If this continues, sooner or later this bottle of medicine will run out, and by then the Black Leaf Forest has not been found, and the five Tiannan flowers have not been picked, so they can only watch the prince's soul go to Huangquan. She carried him on her back and continued to search, but until it was dark, she didn't see the black leaf forest, she didn't lose hope, but Zhou You's life was passing away little by little, and she might not be able to wait for the moment when she found the five o'clock Tiannanhua. The crown prince's life is hanging by a thread.
She, a half-immortal, rarely walks out of Wang Zhushan, is not very familiar with this world, and feels that this qiē is so unfamiliar, she is anxious. Stand on this boundless wilderness. I want to shout. She wanted to scream, but when she craned her neck, she only made a hoarse and short ah-ah sound, and there was darkness all around, no light, no sound, and she fell into a helplessness that she had never felt before.
But finally there was a little light, no. Not one point, but two, three, countless points, more and more, what kind of light is that, not ordinary light, it's strange, those lights can be murderous, hungry. Greed, and more. Suddenly there was a howl, this one howl, it was the wolf, and it was calling to its companions on the steppe because they had found their prey. Maya was horrified to discover that the prey was none other than herself and Zhouyou.
She looked back in horror to find that there were many blue crystal eyes behind her. It turned out that she was already surrounded by wolves, she took off her bow and crossbow, and fired arrows with one hand, and several wolves wailed in mourning, and finally there was no cry, thinking that she had fallen to the ground and died, she continued to pull the bracket, and the crossbow arrows shot out like locusts, killing a passage.
Not to be missed, she rushed out of the passage, countless pairs of eyes following her. She shook off the old wolf, and a new one sprang out of the grass next to her. The wolves howled and cried, and new wolves kept coming in, and it seemed like she would never get out of danger.
She kept running, running, maybe it was the middle of the night, maybe it was almost dawn, and she couldn't stop, because the wolf sound behind her could not get rid of it.
Faintly saw a big tree in front of her, and without thinking about it, she jumped up the tree and sat on the branch, and the wolves sat and waited under the tree. She climbed up again, the tree was very high, and she stopped when it was almost at the top of the tree, and looked down, the ground was full of wolf eyes, and she couldn't believe that she was out of the pursuit of these wolves, although it was true, but there was a strong afterglow in her heart.
She didn't dare to sleep for a moment, and if she fell down because she fell asleep, she would only have the fate of being torn apart by the wolves. But drowsiness still swept through every part of her body mercilessly, especially her eyes seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and sometimes she would wake up as soon as she closed her eyes, and asked herself strongly, "How long have I been asleep?" She listened to Zhou You's breathing again, and there was not much change, so she was relieved again.
Rest assured, in the end, she fell asleep on the tree pole, and suddenly saw the kind smile of the Queen of Aiyang, who came to take the exhausted her in her arms, caressed her back, and welcomed her back to the elegant hometown of the half-immortal with wordless care. Suddenly, she saw the demon king who only had a shadow and no true face, holding an incomparably powerful killing weapon to destroy Wang Zhushan, and the Butterfly Immortal Valley became the residence of the demonic beasts, and the demon king threw her down from the Wang Zhushan, and the demonic beasts in the Butterfly Immortal Valley opened their bloody mouths one by one and waited for her to fall into their mouths, and she saw that the mouth of the giant beast was getting closer and closer like an abyss, and its teeth were like sharp knives, and she screamed in fright.
The nightmare pulled her out of the darkness into the light, and the scorched sunlight shone on her through the gaps in the leaves, and she rose up to the canopy, and saw that there were scattered trees, and she could already see the distant mountains to the east.
She subconsciously looked under the tree, and the wolves were gone. I got off the tree, fed a medicine to Zhou You, and I didn't know where to go, but after thinking about it, I still had to go back to find the five-point Tiannanhua, as long as I found the black leaf forest, I could find a way to pick the anthers.
For the next few days, she searched for the Blackleaf Forest during the day and spent the night in the trees. Five days passed, and the black-leaved forest seemed to have disappeared, and there was no trace of even the burning one. Look at the few pills left in the bottle, it's only enough to last tomorrow for one day.
She watched Zhou You close his eyes, the black aura on his face became heavier and heavier, knowing that he couldn't hold on anymore, his handsome face was in her arms, but there was no longer the bright smile he had when they first met, and his appreciation and ridicule of himself. She remembered that she was quite disgusted with his teasing at first, and knew that he just couldn't change his aristocratic habits, but later found that he was so kind and friendly, and gradually accepted him. Unexpectedly, this prince of the Celestial Dynasty was not at all what she imagined, because when he pulled out a dagger and stabbed it on his golden silk armor to retaliate against his teasing, he didn't take it seriously at all, which shows his magnanimity. When he stopped to look back at his hometown, he carefully and gently persuaded and encouraged, and did his best to care for a man. When he was attacked by the rotting mosquitoes, he turned his back and hugged himself to resist the rotting mosquitoes, and it was his sacrificing hug that caused the half-fairy woman to fall into endless pain.
The next day, Maya shoved the last pill into Zhou You's mouth. Without thinking about it, she carried him and headed east, she said softly to Zhou You: "The distant mountains in the east are the last section of the Misty Mountain Range, and after passing the mountains, you will reach the Haihe River, and I will send you across the Haihe River until you set foot in your hometown, so that you can rest in your homeland." "This beautiful warrior's will at this time is incomparably strong, and her demeanor is incomparably gentle and loving.
She dragged her tired body on her back and traveled eastward, and she found a small mountain bag in front of her, which was very familiar. She suddenly became excited, she ran up the mountain bag, and found that it was the same place where the six of them had stopped when they broke out of the Black Leaf Forest that day. The pain of many days will finally be relieved, and I can't help but feel sorrow, and tears will drop down my breast. felt that God still favored her, and finally let her find her direction. It turned out that both Wugang and Changya had gone straight to the west that day, and they were both able to return here, but she was anxious to find the five o'clock Tiannan, and after leaving the hill bag, she went diagonally south, so that when she lost her direction, she could no longer find the hill bag, and now she came back here by mistake.
She turned her body around in all directions, identified the location of the Black Leaf Forest, mustered up the last of her strength, and was about to go down the hill. Just then she heard the neighing of a horse in the distance, and her heart was suddenly startled.
Dozens of horses appeared two miles to the west, and when she looked at her feet, she stood higher than the others, and from which direction she was seen, she was unobstructed.
The situation was worse than she had imagined, and the dozens of horses suddenly split into three strands, the middle one stopped, and the other two went in the north and south directions, and in a short time they disappeared without a trace. Only a moment later, the group from the north appeared, and the group from the west was outflanked by horns.
Getting closer and closer, already enveloping her in the middle. By this time, she had seen clearly that these people were demon soldiers. When the demon soldiers arrived nearby, they rushed up to the hill like crazy.
Seeing that there were no demon soldiers in the southeast and southeast directions, Mei Ya thought that the Black Leaf Forest was in the south, and ran south without hesitation, she was faster than the demon man's horse, and after a while, she got rid of the two teams of demon soldiers, she thought about going to the Black Leaf Forest, when she entered the forest as fast as possible to pick five points of Tiannan, at her own speed, even if the rotting mosquito found herself, she would not be able to catch up with her. After picking the flowers, he continued to go south, returned to Wang Zhushan, and put the prince in Wang Zhushan to recuperate. The idea is certain, and the pace is quickened even more.
Sure enough, a black leaf forest appeared a few miles away, and she became happy. There was a wild scream, and the demon soldiers reappeared, and it was the same group of men and horses that had disappeared to the south. It turned out that they were lying in ambush here, waiting for the two teams of demon soldiers in the northwest to drive her over, so that they could catch her.
The demon soldiers were strong horses, all of them were good at riding and shooting, and with a "whoosh", an arrow shot over, and Maya jumped diagonally and dodged the arrow. Immediately, there were many arrows shooting, and she had to turn around and run, but immediately thought that the two groups of men and horses behind her must be together, and they surrounded this horse and horse, and gave her a dumpling formation.
She had only two paths to take, one to the west and the other to the east. She has been running around on the grassland for the past few days, knowing that to the west is an endless prairie, and inexperienced people cannot find the direction after entering. To the west is the end of the eastern section of the Misty Mountains, where there is a forest.
Sure enough, the two teams of men and horses who cooperated with one appeared in the north, and the archers in the south gradually surrounded them. These demon soldiers saw her in the vast and sparsely populated grassland, and seemed to have found the pleasure of hunting, and hunted her as a wild beast of the grassland.
Time didn't allow her to think too much, she turned and ran eastward, taking advantage of the fact that the encirclement of the demon soldiers had not yet closed her mouth, and there was still hope of breaking through. Seeing that the black leaf forest was in sight, he just couldn't rush over, so he had to rush out to the east and find a way. (To be continued......)
