Chapter 115: The Willows and Flowers Are Bright
The dark night was like an endless and mysterious black ocean, and a thin figure was shuttling through the dense forest, she was hunched up, and layers of darkness enveloped her, stimulating her nerves and trembling her body.
Swallowing a mouthful of spit, Quan Xiaoling carried her bags, grabbed her sleeves tightly with both hands, and walked forward slowly, every few steps away, she had to look back, as if something terrible was following behind her, moving forward with her.
At night, the dense forest is full of strangeness and unease, and the trees dozens of feet high soar into the sky, and the leaves are very dense, blocking the only moonlight outside, like a forbidden place.
Without the cold moonlight, the surroundings are naturally dark, and at a glance, the line of sight can only be seen a foot away from the trees, and behind the trees, it is dark, unable to see clearly, unable to see.
Moving her steps carefully, Quan Xiaoling's smart eyes were full of fear, and she kept looking at the darkness around her, but the darkness could not only swallow up all her sight, but also constantly erode Quan Xiaoling's soul.
"Rustle~Rustle~"
The breeze blew, the leaves collided with each other, making a rustling sound, Quan Xiaoling, who was already nervous and cautious, heard this slight wind sound, and suddenly trembled, her eyes looked around in a panic, and she shrunk her neck, Quan Xiaoling couldn't help but think of the ghost talk she had heard the storyteller say:
"The old gentleman in the teahouse said that the woodcutter who returns home at night is the easiest to meet the spirits in the mountains, and the spirits have ugly appearances, five eyes and three legs, and specialize in eating people who do not return home in the mountains at night. β
Holding the bag on her shoulder in her arms, Quan Xiaoling had a faint sense of security, and after walking for a while, all kinds of terrifying and strange appearances kept appearing in Quan Xiaoling's mind, as if they would come out of the darkness in the next second and devour themselves alive.
She is just a nine-year-old child after all, she should be lying in her mother's arms, carefree, the darkness is eroding, fear is spreading, everything around her is full of thick malice, leaning against a tree trunk, slowly squatting, Quan Xiaoling wrapped her hands around her knees, lowered her little head deeply, and saw her thin body trembling slightly, scared, lonely, sad, all like a wave surging towards her.
"Daddy, mother, why don't you want Xiaoling, why do you ...... Xiaoling was afraid. β
Quan Xiaoling choked and sobbed softly, she didn't dare to make too much noise, for fear of attracting those ugly and cruel ghosts.
The little hand groped in her arms, and saw Quan Xiaoling take out a copper key from the depths of her clothes, hold the key in her hand, Quan Xiaoling looked at it carefully, and then muttered to herself:
"It's all you, I was separated from my father and mother, making my father and mother sad, I don't know when I will be able to see them, you are a bad thing, just like the utensils in the mouth of Mr. Storyteller who are possessed by the soul, I have to throw you away, so that my father and mother can return to Xiaoling's side. β
The little hands laboriously dug through the soft soil under the trunk, and in a short time dug a shallow hole, threw the key into the hole, and buried it with the earth.
The world is unpredictable, creation makes people, who would have thought that the key to the ancient city, which tens of millions of martial arts practitioners dream of, is not only worthless in the eyes of Quan Xiaoling, but even regarded as an evil thing, I don't know if it is wise or foolish, or short-sighted.
Quan Xiaoling buried the key, stomped two feet by the way, and then held on to the trunk of the tree and slowly got up.
"No, my mother said that I want to be strong, and I have to go to Yeyuan County to see my mother again. β
Looking at the terrible night around her, she looked forward to the sun rising for the first time, and when the day came, she wrapped her clothes and hugged her bags tightly in her arms.
"I want to be strong, I want to be strong......"
I walked for half an hour in fear, but this dense forest seemed to be endless, and she never reached the end, only half an hour, for Quan Xiaoling, it was like after most of the day, slowly moving her steps, and the expectation of meeting her mother supported her to walk in fear and darkness all the time, and never gave up.
"Click~"
A sound like a broken branch came, Quan Xiaoling's body was stunned, her eyes were full of fear and looked around, but except for the trees rooted in the night, there was nothing else, as if the sound was a hallucination generated by herself, Quan Xiaoling looked at it, and then continued to walk ahead, in the woods at night, there are many animals that like to walk at night, and occasionally make some noises, which is also normal, such as the sound of broken branches, Quan Xiaoling has heard it many times, the night seems to be slowly eroding Quan Xiaoling, to pull her into the abyss, walking slowly in the dark night, although she is still afraid, but there is no grass and trees like beforeγ
As soon as she took two steps, a black shadow quickly passed through the night not far away, Quan Xiaoling suddenly looked to the side, her little hand grabbed her sleeves full of folds, and her walking steps slowed down a lot.
"Click~"
After only a few moments, there was another sound that seemed to be stepping on a broken branch, Yuan Quan Xiaoling was already a little accustomed to the darkness, and her eyes looked around vigilantly, and at this time, the suffocating sense of fear gradually emerged, drowning her suddenly.
The black shadow suddenly appeared, shuttling through the woods, and then saw that the black shadow suddenly stood still, stopped a few feet away from Quan Xiaoling, staring at the motionless black shadow, she didn't know whether it was a beast foraging in the mountains, or a monster that specialized in eating living people, Quan Xiaoling's body was as stiff as dead wood, although it was night, blowing a cold wind, but her forehead was covered with fine sweat.
The black shadow that was originally forbidden to move suddenly moved, and the black shadow gradually approached and enlarged in Quan Xiaoling's sight, and the sense of fear also increased.
Under the attack of terror, the body couldn't stop trembling violently, seeing the unknown black shadow getting closer and closer to her, but Quan Xiaoling didn't know what to do at this time, a fierce aura came, as if even turning around and running away had become a luxury.
It wasn't until the black shadow came to Quan Xiaoling that she saw what it was with the help of the faint moonlight through the leaves, it was a huge giant tiger with yellow and black fur, staring at the fierce tiger eyes, staring at Quan Xiaoling who was standing not far away, obviously, the giant tiger had taken her as its prey.
Fear has completely occupied her mind, her eyes are dizzy, Quan Xiaoling looked at the two giant tigers of her own size, and felt a sense of powerlessness, she missed the warm embrace of her parents so much at this time, hoping that all this was just a nightmare, and when she woke up, she was still lying in their arms, carefree and without trouble.
The cruelty of reality and the torture of misfortune mercilessly destroyed this nine-year-old girl, the weak and petite Quan Xiaoling, in the eyes of the giant tiger, it was like a walking dinner, belonging to the intuition of the beast, so that it perceived this prey, and there was no threat to itself.
The sturdy body of the tiger bowed slightly, the front body prostrate on the ground, the claws of the feet secretly exerted, the giant tiger was ready to bite off the neck of this weak creature, swallow it into its belly, and feast on it.
Fear locked the muscles and muscles firmly, Quan Xiaoling held her bag with both arms, and when she saw the colorful giant tiger in an attack posture, she couldn't help but tremble in her heart, only to see her immature little face flash a trace of madness, and then shouted loudly, holding the bag and throwing it towards the giant tiger:
"No one can stop me, I'm going to Yeyuan County to see my mother!"
The bag containing gold and silver flew towards the giant tiger, and the giant tiger didn't know what was flying in, so he immediately took a step back, and the bag smashed on the ground, and the hairpins and bracelets inside were scattered all over the ground.
The giant tiger roared at this immeasurable lowly microorganism, and Quan Xiaoling picked up the stones on the ground and threw them at the giant tiger.
The colorful giant tiger in this forest is the top predator, the absolute overlord, when has he been so humiliated, I saw the giant tiger claw forcefully, rushing towards Quan Xiaoling like lightning, it wants to tear this creature that has repeatedly provoked itself to pieces, and then swallow it into its belly!
Quan Xiaoling was paralyzed to the ground, her legs were no longer obedient, seeing the giant tiger rushing towards her, opening her bloody mouth, as if she could smell the smell of blood, the giant tiger was as fast as an arrow, and its momentum was not inferior to the first-rate martial artist.
Closing her eyes, Quan Xiaoling held her head with both hands, and sat on the ground, her spirit was about to collapse, the strength of the giant tiger was close to that of a first-rate martial artist, so what was her ability to resist.
The giant tiger jumped into the air, showed its three-inch-long claws, and swooped down towards Quan Xiaoling, just as the tip of the claws was about to grab Quan Xiaoling's neck, I saw a black light rushing out of the night, like lightning, shooting towards the belly of the colorful giant tiger!
Heimang carried a terrifying power, and hit the giant tiger's lower abdomen fiercely, the giant tiger whimpered, and then the huge tiger body flew out diagonally, slammed into the trunk of the tree, and shook the fallen leaves in the sky.
Quan Xiaoling, who was holding her little head and squatting on the ground, was jumped by the sudden impact, slowly raised her head, and looked forward, there was no giant tiger in front of her, and she got up stiffly, Quan Xiaoling turned her head slightly, and saw that the colorful giant tiger was falling under the tree not far away, carefully moved her steps, and walked to the side of the giant tiger.
There were a few scattered leaves on the giant tiger's body, the belly covered with white hair had been stained red with blood, and a black sword feather entwined with streamers was nailed to the soft lower abdomen of the giant tiger, Quan Xiaoling just glanced at it in a hurry, and was ready to leave the fang that frightened her.
was about to turn his head and leave, but on the huge tiger corpse, there were suddenly bursts of white smoke, accompanied by the sound of zila, the giant tiger was like evaporation, completely disappeared in Quan Xiaoling's eyes, leaving no trace, except for the black sword feather that fell to the ground, symbolizing that under this tree, there was once a giant tiger's corpse.
