Chapter 4: Night Raid

In the blink of an eye, the sky gradually darkened, and the jungle looked very oppressive, and the surroundings instantly became pitch black, and the road ahead could only be seen with the help of candles lit in front of it on the narrow dirt road.

Xingyu Yege looked around and tugged Xingyuxiang's arm with some fear and said, "Brother, it's dark, let's hurry up." ”

"It's going to be dark so soon, Yege, don't be afraid, we'll be in Qinghe Town right away. Xing Yuxiang touched Ye Ge's head with his hand to comfort the scared Xing Yu Ye Ge.

The brother and sister continued to walk along the mountain path of the jungle at night.

Xing Yuxiang choked on the smoky smell and coughed when he smelled it

"Ahem...... Why does it smell burning?"

He couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, a large amount of cold sweat beads continued to drip from his forehead, and he recalled the scene he had seen in the sword before, and said with some concern in his heart.

Xingyu Yege also smelled the smell of burning, and was also a little panicked, and said to his brother: "Brother, let's go quickly, now I can't take care of going up to the Moon Tower, I don't know if something will happen at home, right?"

Then, the brother and sister quickened their pace and continued to walk forward, but as they walked, the more Xing Yuxiang felt that something was wrong, and the burning smell wafting in the distance became stronger and more pungent, and at this time, Xing Yuxiang's heartbeat accelerated, and he was a little uneasy.

At this moment, a shout was heard in the distance: "Help!

After hearing this voice, the brother and sister were shocked, and immediately ran in the direction of their home to take a look, and they saw the village houses burning in the raging fire, and the villagers on the street scattered and fled.

"What is this scene! How could it be, the memory fragment in my mind just now actually came true... I don't want to, I want to save my family!"

Xing Yuxiang was stunned when he saw this scene, and this picture was reflected in his eyes as if the scene of the destruction of his hometown in his mind was replayed again.

I saw a large number of demon beasts on the road, with a bright red eye on their head and a large mouth full of sharp teeth

When they saw civilians, they opened their bloody mouths, stretched out their slender tentacles from their mouths, tied their prey like ropes, dragged them into their mouths, and tore at the bodies of their prey.

The monsters let out a lizard-like roar of "hissing ——!".

Faced with a dangerous situation, Xingyu Xiang's parents, Xingyu Shino, and Xi Ling both stubbornly resisted the monster's attack with weapons in hand.

"Oh no! Daddy is still inside, let's go!" Xing Yuxiang saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly took Xingyu Yege's hand and ran up.

"Dad!mother!I'm here to save you!" Xing Yuxiang shouted loudly.

"Ah Xiang, don't come here!" Shino was fighting the demon beast with a spear in his hand, and immediately turned his head in response when he heard his son's shout.

Suddenly, a tentacle came out of the beast's mouth and tied Shino's strong left arm, and the tentacles of the monster were so slippery that it was difficult to break free once it was tied.

Shino tried to break free from the monster's attack, he gritted his teeth and grabbed the monster's tentacles and tugged at it, only to see that the monster was dragged directly under this sudden pull.

At this moment, the other demon beasts present saw that the situation was not good, and they all rushed forward to bite Shino's right arm, waist, shoulder, thigh and other body parts.

And the demon beast that had just been pulled over by Shino also suddenly got up and opened its bloody mouth to start fighting, biting Shino's left arm with one bite, and he shouted in pain: "Ahhh

In an instant, blood splattered, and I saw that one of Shino's arms was directly bitten off by this monster, and then the demon beast took that arm in its mouth and chewed it and swallowed it into its stomach.

Blood spurted down the severed arm, splattering blood everywhere on the ground.

"Xianggong, I'll help you!" Xi Ling rushed forward desperately, picked up a broom and drove away the demon beasts that surrounded her, looking at the suffering husband in front of her and shouted.

She wanted to help her husband, but there were too many enemies, and at this moment, a monster suddenly rushed up from behind Xi Ling, it opened its bloody mouth and bit her shoulder with sharp teeth, and the blood flowed down the bitten position, staining her blue clothes red The villagers present all scattered in panic,

The melons, fruits, pears and peaches scattered all over the street, the rice cart carrying the grain fell sideways on the road, Xing Yuxiang took the bow and prepared to meet the attack, and hurriedly ran over and shouted: "Dad, I'll help you!"

Yege, who had never seen such a bloody scene, stood there in fright, not daring to make a sound. "Ah Xiang, don't come here!Take my sister away!Hurry up!," Shino shouted desperately in the midst of the group of demon beasts.

I saw that more and more demon beasts rushed forward and had surrounded Shino and Xiling, and they rushed forward to bite their bodies. "But Dad, if you want to go, let's go together!" Xing Yuxiang shouted to his father with tears in his eyes, raising his bow in his hand and shooting arrows at the demon beast.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" Xing Yuxiang continued to pull the bowstring and shoot arrows, one of the demon beasts in the demon group just rushed forward and was stabbed by the flying arrow and fell on the pool of blood, the other demon beast rushed forward again to attack, Xing Yuxiang tightened the bowstring and shot an arrow again, as time went by, the arrow blade continued to fly in the air and pierced the demon beast, and the arrow in the arrow bag on Xing Yuxiang's back became less and less.

"Ah!!! I said, let's go!!Take care of my sister!!"" Seeing that the demon beasts had piled up and wrapped Shino's entire body inside, Shino desperately stretched out a hand and shouted loudly with the last of his strength.

At this time, the arrows in Xing Yuxiang's hand had all been shot out, Xing Yuxiang dropped the bow in his hand, he held the silver bronze sword and ran over to slash the demon beast wildly, green blood splashed everywhere, but because the number of demon beasts was too much, he was finally very helpless, after all, there was a sister next to him, if he died here, his sister would also suffer....

Xing Yuxiang thought of this, tears continued to flow down his cheeks, he knelt on the ground with tears streaming down his face, facing his family members who were attacked by a large number of monsters in front of him, he was powerless to fight back, and he was very self-blaming and ashamed in his heart.... If I can come back sooner, if I become stronger.... But there are so many ifs in life.... Only when we lose can we know how to cherish the present, and only then can we know how to regret and regret.....

Xing Yuxiang stood up helplessly with tears in his eyes, and said to his father and mother who were besieged by demon beasts: "I'm sorry, father, mother, the child is gone......"

He stood up, tied the bronze sword to his back with the rope strap on his body, and then grabbed Yege's hand tightly and ran quickly, he said to Xingyu Yege as he ran, "Yege, let's go." ”

"Brother, wait, my father and mother are still inside, we can't ......" Ye Ge said to his brother, but Xing Yuxiang did not reply to Ye Ge's words, the only thing they could do was to escape from the village and live.

"Tsk.... Just run!!"

Xing Yuxiang gritted his teeth and cried bitterly, holding Xingyu Yege's hand and running, tears kept dripping down his cheeks.

The brother and sister embarked on a journey on the run. In the dark night, there was suddenly lightning and thunder, and the roar echoed throughout the mountain, and the sky began to pour down, and the rain slapped on Xing Yuxiang and Xingyu Yege.

Under the washing of the rain, the two of them ran forward without taking shelter from the rain, the clothes of the brother and sister were already soaked, and the group of demon beasts behind them were in hot pursuit, Xing Yuxiang and Yege fled frantically like chased prey.

Suddenly, the whole jungle shook the mountains, the earth cracked, and a large number of monsters crawling in the corners with a dark appearance rushed out of the ground to block the way and wanted to rob the brothers and sisters, but in Xing Yuxiang with the night song snake skin quickly avoided the sudden attack of the layers of demon beasts, on the road ahead, suddenly a thunderbolt from the sky struck down and hit a thick tree trunk on the side of the road, and the trunk instantly "clicked!" fell in the middle of the road, burning in the fracture, Xing Yuxiang came to him, and he didn't care so much, he suddenly hugged Xingyu and Ye Ge shouted: " Nightsong hold on to me!"

In an instant, Xing Yuxiang hugged the night song and the two of them slid down from the trunk of the tree with a sliding shovel, and then the brother and sister continued to run forward...

Xing Yuxiang held Ye Ge's hand tightly and said as he ran: "Ye Ge, you hold my hand tightly and don't let go, do you know?"

Yege was still silent in the grief of losing her loved ones, she wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "Got it." ”

In this dark jungle, the black woods look very weird, gusts of cold wind blowing through people can't help but feel cold sweat on their backs, I don't know how long it took, the brother and sister took advantage of the night to successfully shake off the pursuit of the demon beast, but they came to a fork in the road on the left and right, the two of them looked back and found that there was no danger before reassuring to breathe.

"Whew.... Call..... It seems that you got rid of them, Yege, are you hurt?" Xing Yuxiang said as he bent over the trunk of the tree with his hand on his hand.

“... Call... Call.... There is no brother, but it was really dangerous just now, what are those monsters?" Xingyu Yege said as he put his hands on his knees and gasped.

"I don't know.. I have never encountered such an evil monster before, no matter what it is, in short, I must avenge this revenge in the future!" Xing Yuxiang was full of resentment towards the demon beast because he had just lost his parents, he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, "Bang Bang!" Knocking on the trunk of the tree, a large number of leaves fell down the trunk with vibration.

Yege stepped forward and looked left and right, and saw that there was no end to the two narrow forest dirt roads on the left and right, Xingyu Yege turned around and asked his brother, "Brother, which side of the road should we take?"

Xing Yuxiang held a tree trunk with his hand and gasped, he raised his head and looked at the road on the left and right, then pointed to the road on the left and said, "Whew.... Call.... Take the road on the far left. ”

The brother and sister walked along the long dirt road on the left to a place where the ruins of the battlefield had long been deserted, and the ground was littered with bows, arrows, guns, swords, etc., as well as a large number of armor and damaged flags, and some bones that had long been killed were scattered on the ground, and in the dark night, they could vaguely see the road through a lighted street lamp at the ruins road.

"Brother, it seems that this place has been abandoned for a long time, but when was this battle?" Xingyu Yege wandered around the ruins, looked around, and said to his brother.

"It's not very clear, though, and we have to find something to defend ourselves against them. Xing Yuxiang stood up and said to Night Song.

In this way, the brother and sister searched around the battlefield ruins, and Xingyu Yege found an old but still usable spear as a weapon for self-defense.

Xing Yuxiang bent down and after careful exploration, he casually found an old bow in the hand of an archer who had turned into white bones, he pulled the bowstring and looked at it carefully to see if it could still be used, and then he found it and picked up a large number of arrows scattered all over the place for self-defense.

"Brother, are we looking for an inn nearby or something, otherwise I'm worried that those monsters will chase after me again at night" Yege looked around at the pitch black and walked over to his brother.

"Alright, let's continue on our way, if I remember correctly, there should be an inn not far ahead, where we can get some rest. Xing Yuxiang stood up and pointed to a dirt road in the southeast direction and said to Night Song.

And just as Xing Yuxiang and Xingyu Yege were talking, countless pairs of scarlet eyes were secretly observing Xing Yuxiang and Yege's every move among the surrounding weeds.

Suddenly, a long tentacle sprang out of a weed behind Xing Yuxiang, and this tentacle instantly tied Xing Yuxiang's feet like a strong rope, and before Xing Yuxiang could react, Xing Yuxiang was dragged by the tentacles, his center of gravity was unstable and fell to the ground, and his sword accidentally fell far away in front of him.

He was just about to get up and reach the sword, but the ruthless tentacles were dragging him behind him, and Xing Yuxiang desperately grabbed a thick tree trunk in front of him as he was dragged away, and then a memory resurfaced in his mind.......

Eight years ago, Xing Yuxiang, who was 13 years old at the time, took Xingyu Yege, who was two years younger than him, to play on a wide grass, and as he walked, he took Xingyu Yege's hand to the shore of a cliff, and Xingyuxiang saw a very beautiful white orchid blooming on the shore in the distance.

"Night song, look, how beautiful the white orchid is, I'll go pick one for you." Xing Yuxiang pointed to the white orchid and said.

"Brother, this is too dangerous, so let's not do it. Xingyu Yege saw the cliff next to his brother's feet, shook his head a little frightened, and persuaded him.

"It's okay, don't be afraid of Yege, brother will come when he goes. ”

As soon as the words fell, Xing Yuxiang ran to the side of the flower and bent down to pick the white orchid and hold it in his hand.

He turned around and held up the white orchid to Xingyu Yege and shouted triumphantly, "Yege! This flower is very beautiful, come and I will put it on you." ”

Just as Xing Yuxiang was happy, the soil under his feet suddenly loosened and fell, and Xing Yuxiang suddenly felt his body sink and shouted in panic: "Ah!!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xingyu Yege hurriedly ran to the shore of the cliff and stretched out his hand and shouted, "Brother!!Are you okay?"

I saw that Xing Yuxiang fell from the cliff, but he was in a hurry and grabbed a branch in the gap of the cliff with his hand, and Xing Yuxiang clung to the life-saving straw in front of him. He lowered his head and looked at his feet, only to see that there was a bottomless abyss under his feet. Xing Yuxiang felt a cool breeze blowing on his back, and he was sweating profusely, and he didn't know how long he could hold on to this branch.

And he looked up and saw Yege on the shore, anxiously reaching out to his brother

"Brother, grab my hand. ”

"Is there anyone!!Help!!" Xingyu Yege stretched out her hand to reach her brother's hand, and she echoed the distress signal around her, hoping that someone passing by would see it.

At this time, Xing Yuxiang's hands were already covered with beads of sweat on the backs of his hands, he knew that he would fall to the bottom if he was a little careless, but in this way, he still did not give up and clung to the branch in front of him and refused to let go, but he didn't know how long he could hold on.

"No, night song, if you can't pull me, we'll fall. ”

"Come on, brother grab my hand, even so, I'm going to pull you up!" Xingyu Yege leaned out and stretched out her hand to try to grab her brother, sweat continued to run down her nervous forehead and shouted desperately.

Xing Yuxiang didn't have time to hesitate, he climbed towards the cliff and stretched out his hand, and at the moment when the hands of the two were about to touch.

Suddenly, the branch that Xing Yuxiang was grasping "squeaked!" broke with a bang, and his body sank in mid-air and struggled desperately and shouted: "Ah!!"

His feet were already in the air, and just when he thought he was about to fall to the bottom, there was a sound of hurried footsteps in the distance, and Night Song's cries for help were answered.

I saw a woman in white with long black hair suddenly running to the shore, she stretched out her hand and held Xing Yuxiang's arm tightly, and at that moment the woman said, "Don't give up!"

Xing Yuxiang looked up and was hazy in front of him, his vision became extremely blurred under the harsh sunlight, but he could vaguely see the general outline of the woman, and she pulled Xing Yuxiang to the shore hard.

Xing Yuxiang climbed ashore and stood up to pat the dust, looked at the woman with a blurred face and said very gratefully, "Thank you, big sister, for saving me." ”

At this time, Xingyu Yege also ran over and looked carefully from top to bottom very worriedly: "Brother, are you okay?"

"It's okay, Yege is just a bruise, this little injury is not in the way. ”

"It's really annoying brother! Woo, you're joking! If anything happens, how can I explain it to my mother and father." ”

Xingyu Yege squatted on the ground crying in fright, Xingyuxiang stretched out his hand and gently stroked Yege's forehead.

"Yege, don't cry, look brother, I'm fine, by the way, I'll put that flower on you just now. ”

Then Xing Yuxiang took out the white orchid from his pocket and put it on Yege's head.

Then, Xing Yuxiang asked the mysterious woman, "What is the name of the eldest sister?"

However, the mysterious woman did not report her name, and then a dazzling light suddenly appeared behind her, the light became brighter and brighter, Xing Yuxiang and Xingyu Yege could not open their eyes, and the figure of the woman in white slowly receded towards the white light behind her, and gradually disappeared from the sight of the brother and sister......

After a while, Xing Yuxiang's consciousness became sober, he still grabbed the branch to hinder the demon beast from dragging it, and his mind kept thinking of what the life-saving benefactor had said: "Don't give up!"

Xing Yuxiang desperately clung to this trunk and struggled desperately, in order to survive, but also to protect his sister, he couldn't die.

"Brother, I'll help you!" Xingyu Yege picked up the spear and ran up just about to split the tentacles of the demon beast, at this moment, a black humanoid monster appeared behind her, with a big bright red eye, and a bloody mouth opened in her stomach, after Xingyu Yege felt the danger behind her, she turned back in time, only to see that the monster stretched out a tentacle from her mouth, Xingyu Yege picked up the spear and put it against her chest without hesitation, and the tentacles were directly tied to the barrel of the gun, so the brother and sister struggled desperately to survive......

At this critical juncture, in the depths of the jungle in the distance, a woman with long silver hair and a white green dress was running in the jungle, holding a silver bronze sword in her hand, and the luminous body on the sword was constantly shining with dazzling white light, accompanied by a white light from the sword with a sound similar to a heartbeat, "Poof!

She looked down at the glowing sword in her hand, frowned and said, "It's a disaster, there is another danger around here, I must rush over as soon as possible!"

The silver-haired woman quickened her pace and continued on her way.

At this moment, when the brother and sister were struggling desperately, a white light flashed, green blood splashed away, and the tentacles that bound Xing Yuxiang were instantly cut into two pieces by this white light, and Xing Yuxiang looked up after breaking free of the tentacles.

I saw a large number of silver spots of light falling down in the air like snowflakes, and a ray of sunlight shone in front of Xing Yuxiang, and in the light, the silver-haired woman held a silver glowing bronze sword in her hand, and the blade shone with a silver-white light in the sunlight.

Her white hair fluttered in the wind, her willow eyebrows were curved, her eyelashes were long, and her obsidian-like eyes were as bright as a galaxy.

A white dress outlines a perfect figure, the clothes are drifting, the temperament is like a fairy above the nine heavens, but mortal dust, jade-like skin, small and delicate grate, cherry lips are red without dots, and a pair of straight and slender thighs.

The whole person is like a fairy with a fragrant scent.

People can only watch from a distance, not play with it.

She stood on a hill and frowned, staring at what was happening ahead.

Xing Yuxiang raised his head and looked at the mysterious woman who suddenly appeared and asked, "Who are you?"

Xing Yuxiang's log book reminiscences:

I remember that was the place where I first met my lady. And my hometown of Qinghe was attacked by a group of monsters of unknown origin. I fled all the way with my sister alone, thinking only about how we were going to survive... Just when I was surrounded by those hateful monsters, it was the lady who stepped forward to save us, and I will never forget her saving grace to me......
