Southern Xinjiang

Zhang Xiaofan and Lu Xueqi walked in this ancient and dense primeval forest, and in an instant, they felt that the warm air around them had also dropped in temperature, like snow in winter, cold and biting. There was a terrible smell of decay in the breeze, and the original green woods were full of traces of wild beasts, and huge trees fell to the ground in all directions, including the bones of some animals, birds and beasts, and the peaceful atmosphere of the whole forest was gone.

As the two of them deepened, their brows furrowed more and more, and at this moment, with the wind blowing in the depths of the forest, another smell of decay that almost made people want to vomit when they smelled it, and it was getting stronger and stronger.

The road in the forest was crooked, and they were preoccupied with guarding their surroundings, moving slowly. Around the corner was a col, and the smell of rot was unbearable.

Lu Xueqi couldn't help but clench his hand, Zhang Xiaofan gradually felt that the soft wattle he was holding was trembling slightly, and it became more and more cold, like a cold jade, placed in the palm of his hand, but it could penetrate to his heart. Zhang Xiaofan's slightly rough and warm palm clenched a little, and for her, he conveyed an indifferent peace of mind that seemed to be precipitated by thousands of years of vicissitudes. Knowing is not just talking.

Zhang Xiaofan's Soul Eater and Lu Xueqi's Tianya both emitted a faint light, and when they came to a clearing in the depths, the scene in front of them made both of them stunned.

Under the illumination of the moonlight, a bloody picture unfolded in front of you. I saw that there were a lot of human stumps scattered around, and the ground had been stained red with blood, and as far as the eye could see, none of the stumps on the ground were intact, all of them were torn into pieces, and they were all densely packed, and there were almost no gaps in sight

The air was filled with the stench of decay and the smell of blood, and the Soul Eater sensed the smell of blood here, emitting a blue light, constantly trembling on Zhang Xiaofan's hands, as if he wanted to fly to those corpses to suck the blood. Zhang Xiaofan held it tightly and calmed it down with internal force.

Zhang Xiaofan said: "These seem to be caused by the beasts that Xiao Er said. Lu Xueqi continued: "This scene is just like what I saw in the Valley of the Vipers back then, but it is not as tragic as it. Zhang Xiaofan looked around and found that the footprints of similar beasts were heading all the way to the direction of Incense Valley, and there seemed to be more than one.

He had already guessed seven or eight points in his heart, and said, "It's useless to stay here, let's go back first." Lu Xueqi replied lightly and left this purgatory-like place with Zhang Xiaofan.

The night dispersed, and the morning light shone through the mountains and shone on every corner of the town. The smooth bluestone streets reflected back the light, which was getting whiter and brighter, like a huge jade mirror spread on the ground, clearly swaying and blurring all beings. The rustic eaves and corners, the signboards of the shops, and the gradually flowing crowd are all welcoming the repetition of each day in such a bright morning.

In the angry but not noisy town, every ordinary person begins their day of diligent life at this time, and there is no tension and silence in the night, as if it is just a nightmare they are accustomed to.

Drunken Dream House

Among the few inns in the small town, the business of Drunken Dream House is as simple as the name. The guys in the store still opened the door early to greet customers from the north and south. It is said that they come and go from the south to the north, but there are still many locals, and they are basically ordinary people living in the city.

"Drunken Dream House" three delicate and leisurely big characters, quietly in the morning light overlooking the crowd of people on the street, although it is a shop, it is indisputable, rarely see the worldly fame and fortune of the businessman's atmosphere. Beams of light pierced through the gaps in the doors and windows and landed obliquely on the tables and people, and the whole store was full of a thick smell of mortal dust, and the busy figure of the shopkeeper shuttled back and forth in the lobby, but there was a thick smile on his face.

With the passage of time, the number of customers in the store has gradually increased, and Xiao Er's office is not open for a while, and many tables are still empty, just sitting around the waiting guests, they can understand, if it is usual, maybe someone has already begun to impatiently call and urge.

"Guest, your meal is here." Xiao Er put the food on the table one by one, squinted his gaze, and secretly glanced at the seat at the window. In the glittering morning light that became slightly softer because of penetrating the window, Lu Xueqi sat by the window like a fairy, her white gauze dress lined with snow-like skin, shining with a faint brilliance in the bright light, like a lily blooming quietly in the window in the early morning, elegant and quiet. On top of the beautiful face, there seems to be no expression, perhaps because he feels a lot of sneaky eyes, his face is colder than usual, but he doesn't have a seizure after all, but he just glances at the man sitting next to him from time to time. The gentleness between the few expectations has become a peerless elegance in the city.

Zhang Xiaofan picked up the chopsticks, sandwiched the dishes into Lu Xueqi's bowl, and said with a smile: "I originally wanted to walk around with you, but I didn't expect to see those things with you last night." Lu Xueqi shook her head slightly. , said: "It's okay, it's not the first time." At this time, a few people who didn't know what to do disturbed this beautiful moment.

"Big brother, look at that woman over there, she really looks like a fairy." A voice came from the side. Another voice rang out as well. "Yes. Not bad indeed. "Hey, hey. Eldest brother. Or let's go up and get to know. "Say it. Two strong men with tigers on their backs walked to Lu Xueqi's side.

One of them accosted: "This beauty, can I invite you to a glass of wine?" Lu Xueqi snorted coldly and turned her head to look out the window. Another said, "Don't be so cold. After speaking, he stretched out his hand to touch Lu Xueqi, and when he was about to touch it, he stretched out a hand from the side and grabbed it tightly.
