Chapter 23: Shaohua (15)
Ah Xiao didn't speak, the palms of her hands hidden behind her slowly condensed two blue balls of light, feeling that the palms of her hands were gradually heating up, she suddenly raised her arms and threw the balls of light in her hands forward.
The ball of light drew a blue arc in the air and flew into the air above the clearing, and it exploded in an instant.
The five of them hurriedly raised their hands to cover their eyes, the strong light slowly dissipated, and Fei Yang also noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly got up to block in front of Mu Yangsheng.
Ye Ying opened his eyes and stood up, strode to Ah Xiao's side, he took out a fire fold from his arms and lit it, and threw it forward with a swift wind.
The fire fold spun around in the air, and when it fell above the clearing, it was suddenly blocked by something, and fell straight to the ground, and the dead leaves were set on fire, and in an instant a fierce fire was ignited, and the fire spread rapidly, and the trees around the clearing were set on fire.
The flames were soaring, and the appearance of the monster standing in front of the clearing slowly appeared.
It is about two feet tall, with a bull-headed body, limbs as thick as tree trunks, a thin and long tail that sways from side to side behind it, and a mouth that looks like a split tooth at the tip of the tail, and the sharp teeth seem to pierce a person directly.
Mu Yangsheng jumped up in fright, his eyes were as wide as walnuts in shock, and he shouted, "What kind of monster is this!"
Luan Yiran explained: "This monster is called You, and this should be its soul. ”
Mu Yangsheng asked in confusion, "What do you mean, how can the soul still stand here!"
Luan Yiran said: "You is a very terrifying monster, rumors say, when they are alive, they live by eating living things, especially like to eat people, after death the soul will be stripped from the body, by absorbing the aura to continue to maintain the integrity of the soul, encounter You, whether it is the body or the soul, it is very difficult to deal with, everyone should be careful." ”
As she spoke, the creature suddenly raised its head and roared into the sky, a deafening sound echoing through the air.
The disciples of the Purple Star Sect who were flying with the sword over the woods were also shocked, and the sword under their feet was shaken by this sound, and several frightened disciples trembled with their legs, and their bodies gradually became unstable and turned over and fell into the forest.
Ah Xiao pulled out three silver needles from her waist, injected the aura into them, and quickly waved her hand to fly the silver needles forward, however, the next scene made Ah Xiao also a little discolored.
Seeing that it was about to stab the giant beast's silver needle, it actually passed directly through the middle of its body and stabbed directly into the tree not far behind it.
Mu Yangsheng tried to swing his sword, and a golden sword qi slashed forward, also passing through You's body, cutting off the innocent dead tree behind it.
The fire gradually spread back, and the three people standing in front of the backwater mirror looked at the picture that appeared in the mirror, their hearts suddenly crumpled into a ball of crumpled paper, Zhou Yuan frowned, glanced at Chen Feiyuan, and said anxiously: "Senior brother, will they burn the woods if they make such a fuss?"
Chen Feiyuan only shook his head slightly, but did not speak, and his slight brows seemed to show his mood on his face.
An Mu replied for him: "The secret forest in the reverse water mirror is actually just a layer of illusion, only the cold water lake and the Xiyan cliff are the real environment. ”
Zhou Yuan's frowning brows stretched slightly, and he asked, "So this burning forest is also fake?"
An Mu nodded slightly and said, "Yes, it's just ......"
"It's just what?" Zhou Yuan asked.
An Mu was silent for a while, and said, "It's just that if the fire is too big, it may affect other people who participate in the assessment." ”
The three of them fell silent again, looking at the sky-high fire in the mirror, which seemed to illuminate most of the secret forest, and the purple-clothed disciples who toured above the forest of the imperial sword stayed away from the compelling firelight, accompanied by the deafening roar of the beast in the forest, even if they didn't have to be there, just looking at it, their hearts would be nervous.
When the roar was over, the one walked slowly towards the five of them, and its speed was very slow, but each step caused the ground to shake violently, and if it was lighter, it might be shaken to fly.
Ah Xiao held on to the trunk of the tree next to him, condensed spiritual power with one hand and was ready at all times, glanced sideways at Luan Yiran, and asked, "How can I make it disappear." ”
"Ahh......h
"Run!" Fei Yang suddenly shouted in shock, Ah Xiao turned his head to look, the one was less than four or five steps away from them, just now I forgot that this giant beast is big, and its one step is several steps of a human!
Without thinking too much about how to deal with the giant beast, the five of them hurriedly turned around and fled quickly along the dirt road under their feet, the one behind them following their route closely.
Even though it walks slowly, the sense of oppression has not diminished in the slightest, especially the amazing vibration of the ground when it lands, which adds a bit of invisible majesty to it.
The five of them ran for a long time, and the giant beast still followed closely, Luan Yiran thought about how to deal with you while running, she had obviously seen it in the book that her father treasured, why couldn't she remember it!
"I remembered!" Luan Yiran shouted in surprise, and her footsteps stopped, Ah Xiao was very helpless, pulling her sleeve and dragging her away.
Mu Yangsheng glanced back at her and asked, "What do you remember?"
Luan Yiran said: "I think about how to deal with You! It is afraid of blood, just drop blood on its body!"
Ah Xiao Huoran stopped, she had already said that she would have to run for so long! She shook her head helplessly, took out a silver needle from behind her, and swiped it diagonally on her finger, and blood instantly came out of the wound.
The one happened to walk in front of them, and when he saw the blood on Ah Xiao's hand, he seemed to be afraid, and the foot that was about to go forward was slowly retracted, and he took a step back, if it wasn't a vicious beast, this series of actions might be really cute.
Ah Xiao waved her hand forward, and the blood on her fingers splashed forward, just on You's leg, only to hear it hiss and roar, and the blood-stained places slowly turned into broken holes, slowly spreading around.
Not enough blood!
Ah Xiao turned around and pulled out the sword from Mu Yangsheng's hand, slashed it on the palm, and blood flowed out, everyone was stunned by her action, Luan Yiran swallowed and said, "Actually, it would be good for each of us to have a little blood." ”
"Waste of time. ”
Ah Xiao spit out these four words in a cold tone, then turned around and walked back, and with another wave of his hand, the blood in his palm flew to You's body in a graceful horizontal arc, and in less than a moment, the Gundam You's beast gradually disappeared in his own hissing shout.
Ah Xiao took out a piece of white cloth from her arms, wiped the blade of the sword that had not been stained with blood, and returned it to the scabbard in Mu Yangsheng's hand.
Luan Yiran ran to her side, looked down and saw that her hand hanging beside her was still bleeding, and hurriedly raised it to treat her, and persuaded while healing: "If you encounter this kind of thing in the future, don't go alone, it's too dangerous, what if that one just now gets angry and hurts you?"
Ah Xiao didn't speak, turned his head to look at the path they passed by, the fire not far away was flooding in the direction of everyone, looking at this fire, maybe it would soon burn to the position they were standing now.
Fei Yang also noticed the fire, and hurriedly said, "Let's get out of here quickly, if the fire burns for a while, it will be troublesome." ”
Ah Xiao withdrew her hand and walked to the other side of the forest without looking back, Luan Yiran hurriedly followed her, Ye Ying, who had been silent, stood up from the trunk of the tree she was leaning on, glanced at the blood stains on the ground thoughtfully, and followed everyone away.
After walking for a long time, the five of them finally came to the end of the forest, and crossed the barrier of the enchantment, and in front of them was a rocky beach and a steaming lake, the lake was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and it was pure and claustrophobic.
The mist surrounding the waterfall adds a hazy beauty to the mountain, as if you are in a fairyland, in stark contrast to the dark woods.
There were a lot of people gathered on the stone stall, all of whom had cleared the customs from the secret forest early, and the appearance of Ah Xiao's five people immediately attracted everyone's attention, and a few of them didn't know what they were talking about.
Ah Xiao didn't pay attention to it, walked to a quiet corner and sat cross-legged, her ears moved unconsciously, and she had inadvertently taken in the words of the people around her.
"The fire in the secret forest seems to have been lit by a few of them. ”
"A few of us saw it on the side, it was the one that Ye Ying pointed, and ah, there was a loud roar I heard just now, it seems to be some kind of demonic beast. ”
"We've heard it too, and it seems to be coming from the place where the fire started, maybe it has something to do with them. ”
"I didn't see any monsters there when the fire started...... However, these people seem to be quite powerful, especially that Ye Ying, who caught the flying knife that Ah Xiao threw to Senior Brother Zhou Yuan with his bare hands yesterday. ”
"yes...... However, that Ah Xiao doesn't look like a good person, looking at her eyes, everyone looks fierce and vicious, and yesterday they wanted to be unfavorable to Senior Brother Zhou Yuan, how could they be with her. ”
"Shhhhhh ”
The voices of those people were interrupted, Ah Xiao opened her eyes and looked, only to see Luan Yiran and Mu Yang Sheng Feiyang walking in her direction, she shifted her gaze to look away, Ye Ying sat on a big rock by the lake at some point, and was closing her eyes to recuperate.
Luan Yiran jumped up and down next to Ah Xiao, tilting her head to look at her: "Ah Xiao, what are you doing?"
Ah Xiao didn't speak, slowly closed her eyes and meditated and rested.
Fei Yang turned his head to look around, and unintentionally saw a group of people next to him grilling fish, he gently patted Mu Yangsheng's back, and asked softly, "Childe, do you want to eat fish?" ”
Mu Yangsheng's eyes lit up instantly, and he nodded vigorously, "Okay, okay!" he jumped up as he spoke, and ran towards the lake with Fei Yang on his shoulders.
Catching fish is a novelty, for people like Mu Yangsheng who live in a greenhouse, but they are very curious, in the palace, the father and queen mother are reluctant to even touch the cold water for him, let alone the tiring thing of catching fish, now no one cares, he wants to have fun!
Listening to their footsteps walking away, Ah Xiao said in a deep voice: "Luan Yiran, why do you always follow me." ”
Luan Yiran was stunned and said, "Because I like you." ”
