Chapter Seventy-Seven: Crisis
"What is this?" Xiao Lin hurriedly stood up, and as soon as he exerted his strength, there was a feeling of soreness all over his body, like an electric shock, which made him feel excited.
"It really hurts. Xiao Lin grinned because of the pain, thanks to the fact that he had been training in the dark court for a long time, and his body bones were much tougher than ordinary people, so if he was an ordinary person who was viciously impacted by that water column, it was estimated that he would not pant on the spot.
The insects around are gathering more and more, and the styles are different, all of them look strange, some are like worms, their bodies are covered with mucus, and their mouths "poof" spit out some brown and yellow liquid, which makes people feel disgusting to see, and there are also insects with two huge antennae, with two armor-like wings on their bodies, making a "hissing" insect chirp.
"What's going on?" Linglong opened her eyes in a daze, looking at the scene in front of her, her face was a little pale, half tired and half frightened, after all, she was a girl, and she was born with a sense of rejection of these disgusting bugs, an innate instinct.
"You're awake. Xiao Lin said, his eyes kept staring at the insects around them, "We have to get out of here quickly, there are more and more of these insects." ”
"What about the others?" Linglong rubbed her aching body and stood up, her eyes scanning her surroundings and finding no sign of anyone else.
"It must have been swept away by the current. Xiao Lin said, "Now is not the time to talk about this, let's leave this place first and then make plans." ”
"Be careful!" Linglong shouted, Xiao Lin hurriedly drew his sword to meet the enemy, the sword shadow flickered, and the sharp sword light swept out, drawing out the Dao light and shadow, splitting the rapid swarm of insects.
Countless insects were shredded by the sword light, crumbling into puddles of pus, and there were also small limb fragments mixed in it, which made people get goosebumps all over their bodies.
"I can't stand this. Linglong retched vigorously when she saw this picture, showing a little weak side for the first time, hiding behind Xiao Lin and not daring to look at it more, this insect not only looks extremely ugly, but the focus is still a dense large piece, which makes people's scalp numb.
"Then leave it to me. Xiao Lin took over this important task, and the long sword in his hand ignited a black flame, and he found that with the deepening of the trial in the Forest of Powerful Ghosts, he relied more and more on the power of Black Flame, compared to the original fire element, he gradually left behind him, and he didn't know whether this was good or bad, so he could only take one step at a time.
Hei Yan jumped out quickly, he had already used the Three Thousand Yan not long ago, and was attacked by the water dragon, and his physical state at this time no longer allowed him to perform this sword move again, so he could only simply urge Hei Yan to fight the enemy.
Although it was simply cast, the effect of the black flame was still obvious, and the insect swarm became restless after seeing the black flame, gathering in the distance and making a rustling sound of insects, but they just didn't dare to approach.
"Can it still be like this?" Xiao Lin had a further understanding of his Black Flame, but he didn't expect that Black Flame would have such a deterrent effect on the insect swarm.
"Bugs are already afraid of flames, and your Black Flame is even more powerful than ordinary flames, so it's normal for them to dare not approach. Linglong whispered in the back, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, these ugly insects finally didn't come back, and if she continued like this, she was about to collapse.
"Taking advantage of this opportunity, we hurried away. Xiao Lin greeted Linglong and took the lead in walking into the distance, the sword body had been burning with black flames, shocking the insect swarm and not daring to approach.
Everywhere Xiao Lin and the others went, the insects were uneasy and unwilling to get out of the way, and they were quite afraid of the black flame that Xiao Lin cast.
However, there are too many insect swarms, and from a distance, there is no end in sight, which makes Xiao Lin feel a haze in his heart, and he is a little worried that he may not be able to hold on to the sea of insects before his physical strength is exhausted and he falls.
After all, casting Black Flame was too much of a burden on his body, just by urging it, Xiao Lin could clearly feel that his physical strength was like a leaky wooden barrel, descending with a bang, and it didn't take long for his breathing to begin to become rapid, not to mention that he was still injured now, and this pressure was not ordinarily great.
"Pick up the pace, I won't be able to hold on for long. Xiao Lin said breathlessly, and after speaking, he took the lead and rushed into the distance, at this time he had to race against time, and at the same time he was challenging his physical limits.
Although the dense swarm of insects has always made way for Xiao Lin and the others, they have always followed them far behind them and will not let them go easily.
"The bugs have been following us. Linglong said worriedly, she looked at Xiao Lin nervously, only to see that Xiao Lin's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, his lips were a little pale, and his body was trembling slightly, which showed how much pressure he was under.
"The sea of worms is coming to an end. Linglong pointed not far ahead and suddenly said in surprise.
"Where?" Xiao Lin, who was originally a little depressed, perked up, and hurriedly looked up into the distance, "This is?"
In the distance, layers of white mist were rolling, and in the depths of the sea of fog a vague shadow of a long corridor could be faintly seen, and a faint blue light was flickering outside, and there was an empty place, and the insects gathered in the distance and did not dare to approach.
"It's supposed to be the one-eyed promenade on the lake. Linglong said, "I didn't expect to come here by mistake." ”
Xiao Lin said hurriedly: "Let's go quickly." ”
The insect swarm also seemed to sense that Xiao Lin and the others were about to break away from their encirclement, and suddenly there was a riot, and all the insects rushed towards Xiao Lin and them almost fearlessly.
"Be careful!" Linglong looked pale as she saw the group of insects rushing behind her.
Xiao Lin took up Linglong's hand, turned around and slashed out with several swords, and the sword light burning with pitch-black flames fell into the sea of insects, and suddenly the flames were released, spreading and burning around, and a large number of insects were burned into powder by the sea of fire in the blink of an eye, and the pungent fishy smell came out, making people's stomachs turn over for a while.
"Xiao Lin, you!" Linglong shouted pointing to Xiao Lin's left arm.
"Damn, when?" Xiao Lin unknowingly crawled on his left arm, and bit Xiao Lin's arm at the moment.
Xiao Lin hurriedly waved his hand and threw the insect out, and a purple pustule quickly bulged out on his arm, and blood was spilling out little by little.
"It's okay. Linglong looked at the wound on Xiao Lin's arm and asked worriedly.
"I don't know, it's not a big problem for the time being, let's hurry up. Xiao Lin didn't have the heart to check the wound on his arm, if he couldn't escape from this sea of insects at this time, even if he healed the wound, it would be useless.
The two struggled to run into the distance, the black flame on the long sword in Xiao Lin's hand was already very thin, only a trace of sporadic flames was still beating, and the deterrent effect on the sea of insects had also decreased significantly.
The insect swarm surrounding Xiao Lin and the others suddenly stirred, and a piercing insect sound sounded like an eardrum, almost piercing the eardrums of the two of them, shaking their chests.
Although Xiao Lin has been wielding his sword to meet the enemy, and there are countless insects that have been burned by his flames, but facing the entire ocean of insects is undoubtedly like a small wave, and finally Linglong also mustered up the courage to join the battle and help Xiao Lin fight the enemy together.
But the number of insect swarms is too much, and they have already come out with all their strength without reservation, and soon their bodies are still crawling with insects, one by one they open their mouths and bite their skin, without mercy.
Soon, Xiao Lin's bodies were covered with purple pus, and their clothes were soaked with brown-yellow pus and red blood, and their bodies were very embarrassed.
However, they eventually broke out of the encirclement of the sea of insects and came to the clearing.
"Huhu, finally ran out. Xiao Lin sat on the ground, looked at the wound on his body and smiled helplessly, "It's just that the crisis is far from over." ”
The injuries on Linglong's body are relatively light, Xiao Lin has always protected her behind her, and she has resisted most of the attacks of insects alone, so he also focuses on taking care of insects, at this moment, the clothes are torn, and the wounds are small, but if you count them carefully, there are dozens of them.
"You need treatment. Linglong took out the medical supplies from the bag in a panic, and began to help Xiao Lin disinfect and apply medicine, they only have one bag left, one of the bags has been lost under the impact of the water column of the water dragon, and now this bag is their only remaining supply.
"Shhh Xiao Lin gasped in pain, his teeth chattered vigorously, and a tingling sensation began to come from his body.
"How do you feel now?" Linglong asked worriedly, she noticed that Xiao Lin's lips were starting to turn purple, her cheeks were a lot paler, and the wounds on her body had turned black.
"I'm just a little dizzy right now, I have double vision when I see everything, and my hands and feet are a little disobedient. There was a feeling of dizziness in Xiao Lin's head, and his body became heavy, slowly out of his control.
"What about your other Fire Elemental Flower?" asked Linglong hurriedly.
"I've been putting it in my bag, I don't know if it's still there?" Xiao Lin looked a little dazed and spoke in a daze.
"You should be poisoned, many of those insects are poisonous, but I don't know what kind of poison they are, and now I can only rely on Huoyuan Flower to support it, I'll look for it." Linglong leaned Xiao Lin against the edge of a big tree, and hurriedly turned over the bag by herself.
Not long after, she looked at Xiao Lin with a pale face, and her voice trembled a little: "Huo Yuanhua is gone, it should be placed in that lost bag." ”
Xiao Lin replied hesitantly, slurred his speech, and a colorful scene appeared in front of his eyes, he only felt that the entire space was rotating at high speed, and the colorful halo was circulating, and some broken pictures kept crossing in front of him, but he couldn't see the content of the picture clearly.
"Xiao Lin, Xiao Lin!"
Linglong's call in his ears gradually faded away, lighter and lighter, as if it was separated by a period of time and space, and it was impossible to reach.
The scene in front of Xiao Lin's eyes instantly dimmed, the light in the sky was disappearing rapidly, and soon dissipated into nothingness, and he was greeted by darkness.
