Chapter 2: Betrayal

This is a dark and dense forest, with huge trees uprooted from the flat ground, covering the sky and the sun, and the long grass is like a forest, and the sound of insects and birds is mixed with the roar and roar of demon beasts, all the way into the distance.

The blazing sunlight seeped down through the layers of leaves, casting mottled circles of light on the ground paved with dead branches and leaves, and the original temperature was gone.

The Forest of the Scarlet Moon is located in the western suburbs of the capital of Dongyan Kingdom.

This vast forest, which almost surrounded half of Yanyang City, was only the periphery of the Qianyun Mountain Range, accounting for less than one-tenth of this huge mountain range that stretched for nearly a thousand miles.

And the Qianyun Mountain Range is just one of the thousands of veins branched out by the Tenglong Mountain Range.

In the Tianyan Continent, the Tenglong Mountain Range is the true creeping dragon vein.

If someone can fly thousands of meters into the air and look down from above, they can see a huge mountain range lying on the ground, swinging from end to end, running through the entire continent, with the dragon's head in the east and the dragon's tail in the west.

The head of the dragon is bowed, the tail of the dragon is patted on the ground, majestic and precipitous, endless, running through the east and west, north and south, traversing the four countries of the world, longitudinal for thousands of miles, such as the giant dragon soaring the earth, so it gets the name of the Tenglong Mountain Range.

The Tianyan Continent has a vast territory, and the world is divided into four parts, namely Dongyan, Xiliang, Nanyuan, and Beihan.

The four countries divided the world, respectively occupied a place in the Tenglong Mountain Range, and restrained each other, although they did not fight for a hundred years, but the competition between them has never stopped, and the ambition of dominating the world has not been extinguished, but because the national strength of the four countries is almost the same, no country can overwhelm the other three countries, so it has been so deadlocked.

At this moment, the western suburbs of Yanyang City, the capital of the Eastern Yan Kingdom, are on the edge of the Scarlet Moon Forest.

In the dark jungle, next to the Lingling spring, a girl in scarlet clothes stood cramped and restless, glancing at the entrance of the forest from time to time, as if she was waiting for someone.

The look on her face was timid and frightened, and it was obvious that she was very afraid of her surroundings, but she endured it.

At this time, the sound of hurried footsteps came from the entrance, and the girl's eyes lit up, "Brother Feimo ......"

"Miss, it's me!" The person who came showed his face, but he was Mu Mingyi, the personal guard who grew up with her childhood sweetheart and was like a brother and sister.

"Brother Mu, why are you alone? What about Brother Feimo? Why didn't he come? The light in Jun Yunqing's eyes dimmed, and the tears that he held back fell suddenly, "He refuses to come?" ”

Looking at her, Mu Mingyi's eyes flashed slightly, and he quickly covered up the past.

He rushed forward in a few steps and said eagerly, "I haven't seen His Royal Highness the Third Prince." Miss, something happened! Run! The Sanyang Golden Stove in King Kang's Mansion was stolen, and your sachet was somehow dropped at the scene, and it just so happened that you were not in the Hou Mansion today, Prince Kang was furious and sent troops to arrest you! ”

"What?" Jun Yunqing was shocked, "But I didn't ...... I...... I've been in the Crimson Moon Forest for the rest of the day! Brother Mu, you can testify for me! ”

"I'm the eldest lady's guard, Prince Kang won't believe me!"

As he spoke, there was a faint sound of footsteps at the entrance.

"This way!"

"Oh no, it must be the soldiers of King Kang's Mansion who are chasing after me!" Mu Mingyi looked anxious, and pushed Jun Yunqing back, "Miss, you run, find a safe place to hide, I'll stop them!" ”

With that, he drew his sword and rushed out.

Jun Yunqing was pushed to a stumbling position, his whole mind was muddy, and he subconsciously listened to Mu Mingyi's words and ran to the depths of the Scarlet Moon Forest, unaware of the great danger of doing this!

Jun Yunqing, who stumbled away, didn't see it, behind her, Mu Mingyi went and returned, followed by a girl in a yellow shirt, the two stood in place, watching her run away with cold eyes.

"Giggles, Jun Yunqing's waste is really stupid! In the depths of the Scarlet Moon Forest, even the strong generals didn't dare to trespass, and she was a waste who couldn't condense the Xuan Qi, and ran inside, didn't she deliver food to those fierce beasts? This time, there was no one to protect her anymore! I don't think she's dead! Staring at Jun Yunqing's distant back, Ling Xuerou pursed her lips and chuckled, her smile vicious.

In contrast, Mu Mingyi's expression was much more complicated, watching the figure of the girl in the distance stumble and disappear, he said silently in his heart, "Miss, don't blame me." If you want to blame you, you are a waste who can't condense Xuan Qi! I don't want to be a waste guard for the rest of my life, a nameless guard! ”

Thinking of this, Mu Mingyi's heart couldn't bear to fade away, and became extremely cold and hard.

The strength of the Tianyan Continent is respected, and without strength, even if Jun Yunqing is the only heir of the Hou Mansion, he will only be despised and despised by him, let alone a small guard! He must climb up, even if it is ...... It is to extinguish conscience and unscrupulous means!

Miss, today I borrow your life to ascend to the throne, and after I achieve something in the future, I will compensate you well and avenge you!

Narrowing his eyes to hide the cold light in his eyes, Mu Mingyi said indifferently, "Third Miss, you have already seen with your own eyes how things are, what I promised you has been done, the Sanyang Golden Furnace ......"

"It's yours." Ling Xuerou waved her hand indifferently, "I'll tell the Qingyun County Lord about this." On King Kang's side, she naturally has her to deal with it. Saying that, her voice cooled, "If the old man and those people from the Jun family army ask about the cause of Jun Yunqing's death, you know what to say, right?" ”

Mu Mingyi said indifferently, "The eldest lady was jealous of the friendship between the county lord of Qingyun and His Royal Highness the Third Prince, so she stole the Sanyang Golden Furnace of King Kang's Mansion to vent her anger, and after being discovered, she panicked and strayed into the depths of the Scarlet Moon Forest. ”

Ling Xuerou nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "What about you?" What if they ask about you? You must know that you are Jun Yunqing's personal guard, you grew up with her since childhood, and you are like a brother and sister! Wherever she goes, even if she doesn't take anyone else, she will definitely take you! ”

"Third Miss, don't worry, I'll go find a second-order demon beast to fight in a while, and I will definitely go back with scars all over my body, and I won't arouse suspicion." Mu Mingyi calmly replied, "The Scarlet Moon Forest is full of dangers, and it is difficult for me to take care of it alone, and by the time I find out that I have separated from the eldest lady, it will be too late." I couldn't protect the eldest lady safe and sound, I am willing to apologize with death! ”

"Good! Mu Mingyi, I'm really impressed with you! Ling Xuerou's laughter echoed crisply in the forest, "Jun Yunqing was killed by you and made you fight for the name of loyalty!" I really don't know what her expression would be if she knew after she died! ”

The Scarlet Moon Forest, the giant trees are towering, the forest is lush and the grass is deep, covering the sky and the sun, and occasionally a roar of a fierce beast is heard from nowhere, which makes people tremble.

In such an environment, Jun Yunqing didn't even dare to raise his head, he only knew to bury his head and run forward.

Suddenly, there was a rush between the trees, and the earth-shattering roar sounded close at hand, "Roar--"

"Ahh Jun Yunqing screamed in surprise, and suddenly stopped, and in front of her, a giant tiger with gold stripes on its forehead and a layer of snow-white fur on its body stood majestically.

Two three-inch-long fangs protruded from either side of its lips, and its claws on the ground were as hard as iron, and the air shook as it roared, and a fishy wind swept in its face.

Second-Order Intermediate Fierce Beast, Golden-Eyed Fanged Tiger!

The two sides stared at each other, Jun Yunqing recovered from his stiffness, suddenly screamed, turned around and fled back, but he didn't know how dangerous it was to expose his back to the enemy!

Roar!

Roaring again, the golden-eyed fanged tiger leaped up, and its fan-sized fleshy palm slammed out.

That's a huge force that even the mystics don't dare to resist!

Bang!

Jun Yunqing's petite body was slapped and flew up, slammed into a big tree, and lost her breath in an instant.

The golden-eyed fanged tiger was obviously stunned for a moment, then paced over, pulled Jun Yunqing with his paws, and found that she was really out of breath, and immediately turned around and left boringly.

A fierce beast like the golden-eyed fanged tiger has already opened its mind, if it is the corpse of a mystery, if it eats it, it can increase its cultivation to itself, and the corpse of an ordinary person like Jun Yunqing, it disdains to eat it.

With the departure of the golden-eyed fanged tiger, calm returned to the surroundings.

I don't know how long it took, under the mottled shadow of the tree, Jun Yunqing's body suddenly moved.
