16. Bet on my life
The sun gradually rose, and the soft sunlight hit Jiang Ling's body, and he finally woke up from his slumber.
Ye Xiaozhu had already woken up at dawn and was quietly guarding Jiang Ling's side.
"Brother Jiang Ling, are you awake?"
"Hmm. Jiang Ling's eyes happened to be pierced by the sun, he stretched out a hand to block his eyes, and said, "It's dawn, let's go find Xiaofeng as soon as possible." With that, Jiang Ling was ready to stand up.
Ye Xiaozhu nodded and helped Jiang Ling to stand up.
Jiang Ling turned his head to glance at Ye Xiaozhu, and Ye Xiaozhu also glanced up at Jiang Ling. The two smiled heartily and took a step together.
However, it was at this step that Jiang Ling seemed to have stepped on something, and he suddenly slipped and almost slipped in a thrill.
"It's... White bones!" Ye Xiaozhu said in shock.
Jiang Ling was also taken aback, and only then did the two of them take a closer look at the surrounding environment, and they had a feeling that this place was like a beast's nest.
"It's not good, get out of here!" Jiang Ling suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
Ye Xiaozhu is the same, both of them have a little hairy in their hearts, and they run away when they look ahead.
"It's all here, why are you in a hurry to leave? At this moment, a majestic voice came from the woods. As soon as he finished speaking, countless beasts surrounded him from all directions.
"Brother Jiang Ling, this... What should I do?" Ye Xiaozhu asked in a low voice.
"Don't worry, these beasts can't help us, I'm afraid that if there are successful guys among them, it will be difficult to deal with. Jiang Ling said with a solemn face.
Sure enough, in the herd, a sturdy man walked out. The man held a spear in his hand, and his body was mighty, more than eight feet tall, and he was very powerful. This is obviously a demon clan that has been completely transformed.
Behind that man, there were also two half-human, half-beast demons, obviously both of whom had begun to transform into high-level demon beasts with spiritual intelligence.
It is much more difficult for a demon like this, who is cultivated by a living body in the human realm, to transform and speak than a demon born in the demon realm. It often takes hundreds of years or more for them to go from becoming demons to becoming incarnates and speaking. Therefore, once they can break the prohibition of the human realm and return to the demon realm, their skills will definitely increase day by day.
Jiang Ling suppressed the panic in his heart, and said with a smile: "This big brother, the two of us intruded into your territory unintentionally, and we don't mean to offend, you just don't care about the villain, let us go." ”
"I don't care if you break into my territory, it's just that the two of you are full of energy, if I absorb and refine, I can definitely increase my strength. In this way, I can get rid of the prohibition of the human world as soon as possible and go to live in the demon world. The man said.
"No, no, no, the two of us are pitifully weak, and if you refine us, it won't have much effect. ”
"Hahaha, you just don't want to die when you say so much. However, I really need your energy and strength. ”
Jiang Ling put away his playful expression and said fearlessly: "Then you just want to go to the demon world to live, if you don't kill me, I can help you achieve it." ”
"Big brother, humans are cunning and not to be gullible. A man behind the man reminded.
"That's right, why should I believe you? You can't even save your own life, and you said that you will help me enter the demon world, it's just a fantasy!"
Jiang Ling knew that this guy didn't eat oil and salt, he was going to take his own life, and his heart was already trembling. But he knew that if he wanted to get out alive, he must not panic, otherwise he and Ye Xiaozhu would die here.
Ye Xiaozhu was also very nervous, and she grabbed one of Jiang Ling's arms tightly. Jiang Ling turned his head to look at her, put his other hand on the hand she was holding tightly, and comforted: "Don't be afraid, it's okay." ”
Jiang Ling took a deep breath and tried his best to appear calm, "Even if you refine us, you won't be able to enter the demon realm immediately, so let's make a bet." ”
"Interesting, what's the gambling method?"
"Bet my life! If I win, you let me go. If I lose, it's up to you. Jiang Ling said resolutely.
"Then I don't seem to get any benefit. I could have killed you directly, so why should I bet?"
"If I win, I promise that within two years, I will free you from the shackles of the human world. Jiang Ling said confidently.
"Big brother, it's better to kill them directly. Another reminded.
The man made a stop gesture and said, "No, I want to see what kind of gamble he wants, if he dares to play tricks, I will take his life!"
"Yes!" the man nodded convincingly.
"Okay, a little bold, I'll bet with you! The man yelled.
The corners of Jiang Ling's mouth rose slightly, and he said to Ye Xiaozhu on the side: "It's okay, I will definitely take you out safely, you wait for me on the side first." ”
Ye Xiaozhu glanced at Jiang Ling suspiciously, and seeing that Jiang Ling's eyes were very firm, Ye Xiaozhu was a little relieved and stepped aside.
"You have 200 years of Taoism, but I have only 20 years. I'm standing here today, if I can take your three punches and not fall, you'll lose!"
"You're looking for death!" The man snorted coldly with disdain, his figure flashed, and he arrived in front of Jiang Ling with an arrow step, and before Jiang Ling could react, a punch had already exploded.
Burst!
Jiang Ling was blasted out in an instant.
"I can't help myself. The man snorted coldly.
"Brother Jiang Ling!" Ye Xiaozhu's eyes turned red instantly, and he was about to go over to help.
"Don't... Don't come here, I'm okay. Jiang Ling spat out a mouthful of blood and slowly stood up.
The man's expression changed slightly, and he said, "Very good, come again!" The man showed no mercy, and blasted out another punch, blasting Jiang Ling out again.
Before Jiang Ling could get up, the third punch was about to hit Jiang Ling's face.
Jiang Ling looked at the flying fist and smiled faintly. Because, at least, he kept Ye Xiaozhu.
However, no one expected that the fist stopped three inches away from the bridge of Jiang Ling's nose, and then gently slapped Jiang Ling's chest.
"Hahaha!" the man laughed heartily, "You are very brave, I Li Ting admires you." Although ladyboys have different paths, this seat has always respected brave people, and if you have the courage, I believe you can fulfill your promise. ”
Hearing these words, Jiang Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief, released the tense muscles of his body, and collapsed to the ground all at once.
"Brother Jiang Ling!" Ye Xiaozhuhua's face was pale, and he hurriedly ran over and helped Jiang Ling up from the neck. "Brother Jiang Ling, are you okay, don't scare me. ”
At this time, the corners of Jiang Ling's mouth were still oozing blood, and the whole person was as pale as paper, looking very weak. Looking at Jiang Ling's current appearance, Ye Xiaozhu's tears could no longer be held back.
"It's alright, silly girl. Jiang Ling comforted, "Look at you, crying like a little cat." I... Isn't this okay?" Jiang Ling said weakly.
Ye Xiaozhu grabbed Jiang Ling's hand tightly, forcibly squeezed out a smile, and said, "Xiaozhu knows that Brother Jiang Ling will definitely be fine." ”
"Yes... By the way, didn't that old man from Huantong give me the Healing Pill?" Jiang Ling suddenly remembered that there was such a thing.
"Yes, yes, revenge Dan. As if seeing hope, Ye Xiaozhu immediately took out the medicine bottle, took out the Healing Pill and gave it to Jiang Ling.
"Revenge Dan, you still have this kind of thing, I really can't imagine that you are a big family in Chongzhou?" Li Ting asked curiously.
Jiang Ling took the Healing Pill and felt much better in an instant. The medicinal power traveled all over his body, and Jiang Ling's face was much more ruddy.
Ye Xiaozhu saw that Jiang Ling's complexion was much better, and he finally put his mind at ease, "Great, Brother Jiang Ling, you're fine." ”
"Of course, how could my dignified Jiang Lingjiang hero die so easily. Jiang Ling endured the sharp pain in his chest and pretended to be fine.
