It has been two days since Kaiguyan Town, and today is May 22, and Tang Jue and his envoys must arrive in the City of Light before June 1 to participate in the annual tribute. The carriage moved slowly across the vast field, taking unhurried steps, sometimes inevitably crushing a small grass or crushing the petals of a flower. Tang Jue lifted the corner of the curtain and looked out, it was a field full of vitality where the grass grew and the warbler flew. It's sparsely populated, but it retains its natural unadorned beauty and tranquility – the endless grasslands are slightly undulating and dotted with colorful flowers. In the distance, there is a lake that looks like a bright realm, and if there is a sound of wind, you can see the ripples on the surface of the lake. In the clear blue sky, a bird flew by, cutting a huge cloud; There was a small spirit beast running through the dense grass, like a gust of wind, the vitality of nature made Tang Li's mood a lot more relaxed and happy, she leaned out and nodded and looked forward again, a dense forest was at the end of the grassland, where it looked like the light was a lot darker, and the atmosphere seemed a little depressing.

It was about four o'clock in the afternoon, and Tang Jian was silently calculating in his heart: there were still about three hours before the sun went down, and the starting point forest was ahead. At the current rate, before resting at eleven o'clock in the evening, you should be able to reach the middle of the outer periphery of the starting point forest, Tang Lu took the map from the side, spread it out on his lap, passed through the starting point forest, and then passed through Xingyao Town, you can reach the City of Light! The City of Light is the capital of the Light Element Country, and it is also the place that Tang Jue has always longed for. And this yearning comes from the dream that she has repeatedly recurred since she was a child - in the dream, the sun is so bright that it is a little dazzling, and there is only a towering snow-capped mountain in the white world. When she reached the top of the mountain, she saw a large sea of crystal clear flowers with a pale blue light, and then, an ethereal voice came from the heavens and the earth, and the voice kept saying: "City of Light, City of Light...... It was a dream, but also a strange dream, no matter how much she tried to see what those flowers were, but she couldn't see clearly, as if those flowers were covered with a veil and blocked by the fog. And this dream that haunted her heart repeatedly became the reason why she wanted to go to the City of Light. Something, she thought, must be there, waiting for her to find it,

Returning from the contemplation of the dream, Tang Jue's gaze fell back to the starting point forest. She then remembered the record about the starting point forest in the "Strange Spirit Record" - "In the southwest of the territory of the Light Element Country, there is an ancient forest with a radius of 800 miles, which is called the 'Starting Point Forest'. There are many rare and exotic beasts in the forest, and most of them are plant-based spirit animals, which is amazing. In the meantime, there is also an excellent psychic wood Qilin, according to legend, the god of light returned to the void a few years ago. Qilin is a magnolia tree, its trace can not be found, it is not visible to people who are not destined, and everyone has its miraculous effect - "Qilin Qilin, with blood as a sacrifice, with Qimu Spirit, can cure all kinds of diseases, and all poisons will not invade". But these sacred objects are not visible to ordinary people, but the starting forest is more dangerous, and you must be careful. Tang Jue closed the map, opened the curtain and sat down side by side with Xiaofei, the female messenger who was driving.

"Thank you. I'll drive. In the past two days, Tang Jue took the initiative to take turns driving with Xiaofei, and Xiaofei was also very moved.

"It's okay, you don't have to drive. Ahead we are to the Beginning Forest, where danger lurks, and we need to protect you, which is also the duty of our lieutenant. Thank you for your kindness!" Xiao Fei was embarrassed to brush the wet broken hair in front of her forehead, and made a grimace at Tang Jue. After all, she didn't want to trouble Tang Jue all the time.

"How can you protect me if you want to drive? It's hard to use one mind at the same time, you can observe the road conditions on the side, so that you can detect the danger in advance." ”

"Well, you have a point. Xiao Fei scratched her head thoughtfully.

"That's right, you can rest for a while, and then you can enter the starting point forest before you have the energy to deal with emergencies. Tang Jue took the whip and reins from Xiaofei's hand and smiled.

"I can't help you! Xiao Fei muttered embarrassedly.

"Haha, who called me eloquent. ”

"Then I'll be respectful and obey my fate, and I'll leave it to you here. When you get to the starting point forest, remember to wake me up. ”

"No problem," Tang Yu made an "OK" gesture to Xiao Phoebe.

After Xiao Fei went in to rest, Tang Jue concentrated on driving the carriage, and the sun on the horizon emitted orange-red rays at some point, and then sprayed a sea of blood-red sunset clouds in the clear blue sky. The sunset on the grassland is so vast and has the power to shock people's hearts. Tang Yu then recorded the beauty of this moment with the shadow jade hanging around his neck. Because good things are always fleeting, and they cannot be met and cannot be sought, and people cannot tolerate a moment of hesitation. It's either caught, or it's gone,

The sun gradually sank below the horizon, and the secluded night came overwhelmingly, engulfing the whole world in an instant. The emissaries lit the glass lamps under the eaves, and the emissaries on horses carried a lantern to illuminate the road ahead. Soon the team entered the starting point forest, in order to avoid too many fires and too bright to attract difficult spirit beasts, the captain Lime ordered to extinguish most of the lights, leaving only the front, middle, and back lights.

As most of the lights went out, Tang Jue clearly felt that the surroundings were a lot darker. There was a lot of gravel on the rugged mountain road, and the wheels creaked. The surrounding trees were all vague black shadows, sometimes shaking or making sounds, like a devil hidden in the darkness, making it impossible to guess its next move, only to increase fear and panic. After fully adapting to the environment of the night, Tang Jue was able to see her surroundings clearly, and her eyesight had always been very good, even in the dark.

"Tang Jue!" There was a commotion in the car, Tang Jue glanced back, and saw Xiao Fei open the door curtain with a bang.

"Awake?" Tang Jue sneered in her heart, she knew that Xiaofei must blame herself for not waking her up.

"Why didn't you wake me up? I've overslept!" Xiao Fei seemed to be a little annoyed that she slept until nine o'clock as soon as she slept, and her voice was much louder than usual.

"Shhh I can't bear to wake you up, so don't blame me. ”

"Then let me drive, and you can rest while you go. Xiao Fei said that she was about to reach out and grab the reins.

Tang Jue saw that Xiaofei had just woken up and might still be in a state of irritability, so he didn't shirk anymore, sat aside, and let Xiaofei drive.

At night, the forest is eerie, and even if there is no wind, it is cold and cold, and if you are not careful, the cold will invade your skin and make you shiver from the cold. Tang Jue knew that he couldn't stand the cold, so he took out the silk clothes from the stored jade he carried with him, and put them on his body, Fang felt that his body was a lot warmer.

"You're afraid of the cold?" Xiao Fei asked Tang Jue suspiciously, because the current temperature was only very cool for her.

"Hmm. Tang Jue nodded.

"I remember that you seem to be an ice elemental, and ice elements are also afraid of cold?"

"I was born with a bad constitution, and if I was too cold, I would suffer from cold diseases. ”

"But your ice elemental is cold inherently. ”

"I don't know, but my ice doesn't make me feel cold. Anyway, weird, right?"

"Uh...... I think I'm jealous of talent. You'd better go in, or what if you stay outside and catch a cold?" Xiao Fei pointed back with her hand.

"No, it's not too cold yet. Tang Jue smiled lightly.

The team marched for about two more hours, and finally came to a halt on a small, flat and open lawn. The captain Youlime ordered everyone to set up tents, and the team became lively all of a sudden, but everyone was light and avoided making too much noise.

Tang Jue and Xiaofei were working together to build a simple tent, and when they were halfway through, a messenger came over to inform Tang Jue that the captain Lime wanted to see her and told her to come to the front of the team quickly.

"The captain really cares about you!" Xiaofei quipped.

"You're going to talk nonsense, I'm going, I'll be back in a moment. After Tang Jue finished speaking, he walked towards the front of the team.

This team is actually not too long, and Tang Jue's carriage is in the middle of the team. Tang Jue didn't walk slowly, but she always had the feeling of walking for a long time, and when she finally walked to the front of the line, she only saw a lantern hanging on the tree, except for other messengers. Lime himself was not seen.

When she was suspicious, a voice came from high in the woods on the left—"Tang Jue! I'm here, come up!" Tang Jue heard that it was the voice of the lime, and she followed the sound and did see the lime standing on the tree, beckoning to her.

"Here it is. Tang Jue responded, I didn't expect the captain to have such interest, could it be that the scenery on the trees at night is a little better? Maybe it's to scout the surrounding environment, the captain is really attentive.

Tang Jue speculated like this, and jumped onto the treetops in three or two. Just as she opened her mouth to ask what was wrong with the lime, the lime in front of her suddenly disappeared, and only the dark branches trembled in front of her. What about limes? What are the limes...... A chill crept up Tang Jue's back, and there was a loud buzz in her head, it was an illusion!

"Hehe, the little doll of the Tang family is nothing more than that, I think it will be a waste to kill you. A woman's voice sounded faintly from behind Tang Jue, and her words were spicy and cold.

"Don't even think about escaping, we've laid an enchantment around here, and you can't fly even if you have wings!" Another man in orange appeared three or four meters in front of Tang Jue, he smiled fiercely, revealing a sinister cunning.

Tang Jue tried his best to calm himself down, the cultivation of the two people in front of him must be much higher than himself, and there was almost no chance of winning in a head-to-head battle, so he could only escape. They say that there is an enchantment, but where is the weakest point of the enchantment...... Tang Jue used her spiritual power to perceive the range and location of the enchantment, and found that the enchantment had not yet been fully formed, and there was a weak spot three hundred meters to the northwest, and a cold sweat slid down her cheek. Do your best to break out of the barrier, then escape, and maybe have some life. Tang Jue quickly analyzed the current situation, the barrier was still being bridged, and she didn't have much time left.

"Yo, are you scared silly?" the woman behind her sneered.

Eighty-one Frost Blade - Tang Jue made an instant move, and the eighty-one sharp blades formed by the ice instantly stabbed towards the two of them. The two were caught off guard by this sudden counterattack, and by the time they came to their senses, Tang Jue had already escaped......

"Dare to beat me, I'll let you die without a body!" Eighty-one Frost Blades were burned into the air by the flames of the Orange Woman, and only a drop of hot water fell to the ground, scorching the grass and trees. The woman in orange was so angry that her eyes widened, and without saying a word, she went straight forward to chase Tang Jue.

"Oh, it's just a little girl, look at it annoys you. In that case, I'll support you remotely. The man in orange smirked. With a wave of his left hand, an open flame burned in the air, and he took out a bow in the light of the fire, which was a flaming bow, and his right hand condensed the remaining flames into three flaming arrows. He jumped onto the tallest tree and stood on top of it, looking down on the entire barrier. When he found Tang Jue who was on the run, he grinned very contemptuously, as if Tang Jue was just a dying prey. Then he pulled his bow and set up an arrow, and after aiming his crosshair at Tang Jue, he shot the flaming arrow very casually.

The three flaming arrows pierced through the air, and the blazing flames burning on the arrows seemed to burn through the air......
