II. Chapter 42

Darkness, endless dull darkness.

I don't know if this is the case in the darkest place in the world, Jiang Ming only feels so tired and sleepy, he doesn't even want to open his eyes, he just wants to fall asleep, but he doesn't know if death feels like this. If this is the case, at this time, it is strange that he is not afraid of death, which everyone in the world fears, and it is a relief to sleep under the nine shadows desperately.

Until, a faint glow appeared under his nose.

At this moment, all the senses of his body seemed to come to life, cold, sleepy, hungry, painful, fearful! and a faint burning sensation from his hands, instantly filling his whole being.

Jiang Ming opened his eyes slowly and with difficulty, and a faint, ethereal light was gently sprinkled on his face.

Scattered moonlight!

Like a light smoke wandering in the empty and dark sky, and like a faint mist.

Jiang Ming was in a trance, and almost subconsciously recalled the scene of being dragged away by tentacles in his mind, and his heart jumped, and he was about to move, but as soon as he moved, he gasped.

It hurts, it hurts!

He tilted his head to see that the side of one leg was blurred with flesh and blood, and it was tightly glued to the fabric of his pants, and at the same time of this tilting of his head, he didn't know where he was pulled, and his back was also a hot pain!

And he was shocked to find that he was inexplicably lying flat on the damp and dark stone floor.

Thinking of this, he shook his left hand lightly, but he grabbed the air, turned his face to look, where was there another figure, in the endless darkness, but he was the only one!

Jiang Ming panicked in his heart, and actually endured the severe pain all over his body to sit up, but when he sat up, as if he was alarmed by something, there were suddenly a few swishing winds at his feet.

At the same time, a faint red light suddenly appeared beside him, and he was faintly wrapped in it, and these wind sounds suddenly stopped when they met the red mang, lingering outside the red mang and waiting!

Jiang Ming was instantly frightened when he saw this, and there were several black tentacles dancing slowly at his feet, as if he would tear himself up at any time!

He subconsciously retracted his feet, and the light of the front dust sword also shrank, and those tentacles stretched forward twice when they saw this, but they still stayed outside the red light. Immediately, he remembered that when he was fighting with the tentacles in the cave, the tentacles did not dare to approach the Qianchen Immortal Sword, as if they were deeply afraid.

Jiang Ming was slightly relieved at this time, and glanced at the strange and weird fairy sword, which seemed to have special powers. But the next moment, when he looked around, he fell into deep despair.

The place around him was dark, empty like an abyss and hell, and in the distance there was no stone wall with no top in sight, and he didn't know where he was, and he didn't know where the woman was!

Jiang Ming sat like this for a moment, and then slowly stood up with the pain all over his body, but one leg was unable to exert his strength, so he had to hold his sword on the ground to barely keep standing.

He glanced at the ground where he was lying, and thought that it was probably the former Dust Immortal Sword Protector when he was unconscious, and those tentacles didn't dare to approach, so he was thrown here, but Yu Xinshuang was not so lucky, and he didn't know how she was now?

Will it just die?

As soon as he thought of this, Jiang Ming became nervous and scared, and began to walk forward along the tentacles, but every time he took a step, there were bursts of colic, and he almost couldn't breathe in pain, but he still walked slowly.

The tentacles in front of him were like poisonous snakes ready to attack, slowly retreating, but they were also jumping, as if waiting for the moment when he completely exhausted his physical strength and the Qianchen Immortal Sword could no longer protect him.

Jiang Ming had no bottom in his heart, but when he thought of that helpless look, it seemed to touch the softness of his heart, even if he had a breath in his heart, he would never let her be hurt in the slightest.

He suddenly felt a little inexplicable, but he still moved forward slowly and firmly.

I don't know how far he went, but suddenly a brighter moonlight appeared in the far heights in front of him, and the moonlight seemed to be radiating from there, as if it was the only light in the darkness, faintly or nothing, filling the whole empty darkness.

Jiang Ming was overjoyed when he saw the light, there is always more light than darkness, and maybe there is the exit. He staggered away in the moonlight, and finally gradually saw the woman he was thinking about at this time under a faint moonlight.

But he was not surprised, but felt a little like crying.

In the faint moonlight, I only saw Yu Xinshuang's face pale, her eyes slightly closed, and she was wrapped around several tentacles on an incomparably thick black ancient tree that seemed to reach the sky.

And there was also a tentacle lying on the wound on her right shoulder, slowly wriggling like a worm, as if sucking the blood in her body.

But she didn't react, just clenched the weakness and hanging down in her hand, and the long-lost Immortal Sword.

Jiang Ming's heart was sour, and he struggled to walk over almost the next moment, and he didn't know where the strength came from, but he walked much faster, and walked straight in front of the black ancient tree.

Such a huge ancient tree is simply unimaginable, and it is even about to catch up with a small mountain, and at the top, there is a round of bright full moon, standing in the sky, and the faint light is sprinkled, as if gathering on the branches and leaves of the ancient tree.

I don't know how long I have lived, but I don't have the spirit and fairy aura that an ancient tree should have, but with gloomy and terrifying, and even Jiang Ming clearly saw that halfway up the trunk of the tree, there was a gap overgrown with rattans, and there was a faint diamond-shaped object entwined by countless thin branches, like a human heart, leaping and beating.

And those weird tentacles are its root system, some thick and some thin, thick and even the size of two people, all of them are pouring out of the stone ground at this moment, and they are surrounded by Jiang Ming with teeth and claws, waiting for an opportunity to move.

According to ancient legends, everything in the world can be cultivated upward, and people are the elders, and cultivation is the easiest, while others need a long time. Secondly, the plant is even more, a little more than a thousand years, absorbing the essence of the sun, to the soft and yin flower, in order to open the wisdom.

Although Jiang Ming had heard of it, it was the first time he had seen it, but he really didn't expect that the ancient tree in front of him would actually devour people and blood, and it was obviously already regarded as a monster and evil thing.

But he didn't have much fear in the face of the dryads at the moment, and there was only hatred and anger left.

The fairy sword in front of the dust lit up leisurely, Jiang Ming limped towards the dense tentacles, the hot red light passed, and the tentacles retreated, but they still always surrounded the place, Jiang Ming's face gradually turned pale, every time he urged the fairy sword, the qi and blood in his body were frantically squeezed out, as if in this scorching feeling, it evaporated.

In the end, Jiang Ming trembled and handed the sword to Yu Xinshuang's side, and the tentacles wrapped around her body seemed to be unwilling to leave, squirming and flipping several times, and finally she couldn't bear the fear and shrank aside, and Yu Xinshuang also fell straight from the tree trunk.

Jiang Ming didn't move, but let her fall into his arms, hugging her soft waist, and the two fell at the foot of the ancient tree together.

Unable to move.

The angry tentacles suddenly surrounded them crazily, like a snake's nest, but there was a blood-red light in the cracks, like a mad demon.

Jiang Ming lay on the ground gasping for breath, he didn't even have the strength to reach out and touch her, and Yu Xinshuang pressed heavily on his chest, her blood quickly soaked over, and through her clothes, it was still warm.

Two desperate people snuggled together, and the two hearts were so close, beating slowly and slightly, once, twice.......

Jiang Ming looked at her beautiful pale face, and suddenly cried, and two lines of tears slowly flowed down the corners of his eyes.

The red glow on the Qianchen Immortal Sword faintly spread, resisting the dense tentacles around them that were unwilling to retreat. Every moment, Hongmang seems to be weakened by a point, but it is the only hope at this moment, the only hope that cannot be given up.

Jiang Ming was lying on his back on the ground, his eyes staring blankly at the sky, and among the towering branches and leaves of the ancient trees, a bright moon was sprinkled with clear light.

I don't know if people are still afraid in despair, but at this moment, what he thinks of is not death, but the days and people he has lived over and over again in his mind.

Just as he was gradually in a trance, a soft uh suddenly sounded in his ears, pulling him back to reality.

Yu Xinshuang frowned, with a hint of pain, and slowly opened her eyes.

Jiang Ming looked at her and said weakly, "You're awake." ”

Yu Chenshuang's face was slightly confused, and after a while, his eyes gradually returned to brightness, and he said to Jiang Ming: "Where is this?"

"I don't know, when I woke up, you were hanging ...... in the tree"

When Yu Xinshuang heard this, she immediately glanced around, only to see countless tentacles dancing outside the red mang, and behind her was a huge black ancient tree, her face almost subconsciously changed, and she shouted softly: "Millennium Tree Spirit!"

She exhaled, and her body unconsciously exerted force, but she actually felt the pain in her shoulder, and at the same time felt the softness and strangeness in the palm of her hand.

It turned out that she woke up in a trance, completely unaware that she was lying on Jiang Ming's body, and one of her hands was not supported on the ground as expected, but on Jiang Ming's chest.

When she found this, she withdrew her hand in a panic, her pale face was faintly red, and then she carefully moved off Jiang Ming's body, and sat to the side with a natural expression, but her side face looked to the side intentionally or unintentionally, and she didn't speak.

Due to the range of red mangs, the bodies of the two are still close together, and they are in a desperate situation, how can they care about whether men and women can kiss or not, but her demeanor has traces. Jiang Ming was also suddenly shocked, embarrassed, and didn't know what to say.

After a moment of stiffness, he sat up slowly and with difficulty, but his body was pressed for a long time, not to mention that there were injuries everywhere, and he couldn't help but snort out in pain, but at this time he didn't seem to dare to make any sound, and his face twitched a few times, but he endured it stiffly.

But I didn't expect Yu Chenshuang to seem to have eyes behind her, and suddenly turned around and whispered with concern: "Are you injured?"
