"Your Majesty, this matter has passed...... I came to visit this time to ask, can there be a strange-looking sword left in your palace?"

"I know when you say this, but there is a strange sword that appears in the palace......"

After the empress finished speaking, she turned her head sideways and waved her hand to a female soldier beside her, and the female soldier seemed to understand the empress's meaning when she saw it, clasped her hands into fists, bowed, and retreated.

After a while, the female soldier brought a long wooden box, and in the box was Qiu Yuanxue's silver bronze sword.

The female soldier walked up to the empress, squatted down on her knees, and presented the long sword in her hand.

The empress asked Qiu Yuanxue and said, "Miss Qiu, do you want to see if it's this sword?"

Qiu Yuanxue stepped forward and said after seeing it: "It is this sword, this is the matching sword that I have always carried on my body." ”

"Since it was Autumn Girl who fell, then take it. The empress said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

After speaking, suddenly, the luminous body on the silver bronze sword in the box emitted a silver light, this light illuminated the entire palace, everyone present was stunned in surprise, and the dragon tattoo on the back of Qiu Yuanxue's right hand also resonated with the sword, emitting a silver light.

Qiu Yuanxue raised the back of her hand and opened her eyes wide, looked at the glowing dragon tattoo in surprise and said, "This is ?......"

After the two rays of light flickered, they gradually dimmed, and everything returned to normal, and the empress was surprised when she saw this kind of thing: "It seems that there is a resonance reaction between this sword and the autumn girl...... I don't know what happened, but I can feel that the sword seems to want to return to its owner. ”

Qiu Yuanxue picked up the silver bronze sword and looked at it in her hand, with a relieved look on her face, and thought in her heart: "I didn't expect it...... This sword has been waiting to be summoned by me......"

Immediately, Qiu Yuanxue inserted her saber back into the scabbard at her waist.

"By the way, Miss Qiu, I heard that when my mother was there, she also saw a young woman holding a matching sword with the same appearance as you, and she also visited here. The empress said.

"The same sword?!...... Your Majesty, have you seen her?" Qiu Yuanxue couldn't help but say excitedly after hearing this.

"At that time, I was still a little girl, and I also met her once, although I was not too impressed, but I heard my mother introduce me, I remember that she is also called Qiuyuan...... It seems to be a little similar to Miss Qiu's name, I don't know what your relationship is?" said the empress after some thought.

"Could it be...... My mother-in-law visited here a long time ago, what did she come here to investigate, or who did she meet?......" Qiu Yuanxue pondered suspiciously.

After thinking for a while, Qiu Yuanxue replied: "Oh, Your Majesty, I heard what you just said, this person should be my mother: Qiu Yuanmuying, do you know what she came here to investigate before?"

"I'm sorry, I was young, and now my mother is dead...... So I don't know much, but ...... I vaguely remember your mother mentioning what seems to be to investigate the three thunder, fire, and ice dragon jade matters, as for other ...... I don't know. The empress said.

"Oh...... Your Majesty, then I have nothing else to do, so I will take my leave first. ”

Qiu Yuanxue bowed to the empress with both hands and turned around, and was about to leave when the empress suddenly stopped her and said, "Wait, Miss Qiu, are you rare to come and stay for a few more days?"

"No, Your Majesty, I have more important things to do, so I won't bother. Qiu Yuanxue turned around and said.

After finishing speaking, Qiu Yuanxue walked out of the palace, she came to the gate of the daughter country, and just wanted to get out of the city, suddenly a hurried shout came from behind: "Miss Qiu...... Call...... Please wait......"

"Huh, you're ?......."

Qiu Yuanxue looked back, only to see that it was the maid Wulan who hurriedly ran over with a coil in her hand, and said tiredly, panting: "Whew...... Call...... Autumn...... Miss Qiu, this is the coil that my sister and I prepared for you, please be sure to bring it, help me thank Xing Yuxiang and them. ”

"Girl...... I can't accept this......" Qiu Yuanxue wanted to refuse, but Wulan still insisted on putting the burden on Qiu Yuanxue's hand and said: "Miss Qiu, you are welcome to accept it, after all, it was your partners who helped me find my sister, thank you for hearing that you still have to walk a long way, how can you do it without a little entanglement, this is our heart." ”

"That'...... Okay, it's really bothering you, so I made a special trip. ”

Qiu Yuanxue had no choice but to agree, and after Wulan took the entanglement, she turned around and left.

Qiu Yuanxue came to a forest through the portal summoned by Xue Ying, and Qiu Yuanxue said to Xue Ying, "Thank you Xue Ying, let me investigate the whereabouts of the sword myself." ”

"Alas...... All I can say is, good luck. You are the strongest heir I have ever met. After speaking, Xue Ying summoned a white light circle on the ground, and she stepped on the formation and disappeared with a "swish!"

At this time, the forest became extra silent, leaving Qiu Yuanxue alone, and she thought while walking on the muddy dirt road: "Before, my mother came to her daughter's country to investigate what happened to Long Yu?...... Alas, don't think about it for the time being, let's concentrate on finding the whereabouts of the sword, and by the way, we have to investigate Xiaoxi's affairs. ”

Just as Qiu Yuanxue was thinking about it, a mysterious woman's voice suddenly came to her ear: "Hehe, it turns out that you are Qiu Yuanxue, no wonder you look so similar to that little girl, if you don't look carefully, you really can't tell it." ”

"Who is it?!come out!"

Qiu Yuanxue frowned and looked around vigilantly, her hand had already been placed on the hilt of her sword, and she was slowly striding forward in a posture ready to attack at any time.

At this time, on the trunks of the surrounding trees, a large number of snakes began to slowly climb from the treetops to the trunks, and their eyes were glowing green, and they were watching Qiu Yuanxue's every move condescendingly.

One of the snakes slowly climbed down to the trunk of a tree that could attract Qiu Yuanxue's attention, and it raised its front body and said, "It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that you will soon become my plaything." ”

Qiu Yuanxue looked up and saw the strange snake with green eyes on the trunk of the tree talking, she pulled out the sword in her hand without saying a word, and with a "huh!", a powerful sword qi swept over, and the snake that stood tall was instantly split in two by this sword qi and fell to the ground.

But then another snake climbed down from the top of the tree and landed on the trunk, and the snake stared at the green light and raised its head and continued: "It's useless, there are thousands of me here. Are you the only ones who can kill it? Hehe, why don't we play a little harder. ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw the snakes on the trunks of the surrounding trees crawling down to the ground in an instant, and the last group of 10,000 snakes covered the ground, and they walked quickly in front of Qiu Yuanxue, and the snake group began to gather in front of it to form a sphere, and this sphere slowly expanded and became larger, and in an instant, the shape of the sphere became a human shape, and then the snake group gathered together and changed into its original appearance, and it was a woman who walked in front of Qiu Yuanxue.

She said with a very proud face: "Hehe, I'm a poisonous snake girl, oh yes, I heard that you are very powerful, and you actually made Lord Ying so embarrassed, and I came here today to meet you." I am here today for two purposes, one is to teach you a lesson, and the other is to ...... Let's see how long you can live?"

"Are you the one who claims to be on the other side of the shadow, you have done so many hurtful things, I will never spare you!"

As soon as the words fell, I saw Qiu Yuanxue jumping up with a sword and slashing towards the viper girl, and suddenly, the viper girl seemed to have noticed something, raised her left hand and snapped her fingers, "Bang!"

There was a loud "boom!" on the ground, and a huge snake burst out from the ground, opening its bloody mouth and attacking Qiuyuan Snow that jumped in mid-air.

"Tsk...... Suffer!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Qiu Yuanxue hurriedly dodged the attack of the giant snake sideways, but she fell to the ground due to the unstable center of gravity.

"Huh...... Do you really think I'm going to show up in front of you unsuspecting?...... Now it's time to test your abilities, oh yes, and before I was introduced to me, this is my pet Archie, so let him have fun with you. I don't think you're going to die so easily, are you? The Viper Girl said proudly.

Then, after the viper girl summoned a green halo of magic circle, she instantly disappeared into the formation with a sound of "boom!"

"Tsk...... Damn, I actually let her run away......" Qiu Yuanxue stood up from the ground and said.

At this time, when the huge snake saw Qiu Yuanxue standing up, it immediately opened its bloody mouth, revealing two sharp fangs, and attacked Qiu Yuanxue at a gallop.

"Suffered..."

Qiu Yuanxue turned around, and when she realized that it was too late to avoid the attack of the giant snake, she immediately put her sword on her chest, and the huge snake drove towards her at great speed.

“......”

Qiu Yuanxue stood in the snake's mouth, she clenched her teeth with all her strength, and pressed the sword in her hand against the two fangs in front of the big mouth.

In this way, the huge snake was like a mad cow out of control, and it was rampaging through the jungle against Qiu Yuanxue. knocked down a large number of trees one after another, and just as Qiu Yuanxue struggled to stop the giant snake, the sharp fangs cut a deep bloody wound on her leg, and Qiu Yuanxue shouted, "Ah!......hh

The venom flowed down the blood into Qiu Yuanxue's heart, and after a painful look appeared on her face, she finally couldn't hold on and retreated, falling heavily to the ground.

"Ahem, ahem...... Damn ......"

Qiu Yuanxue kept coughing up blood from her mouth, she struggled to get up from the ground, but she found that she seemed to have no strength and her sword fell in front of her eyes, she desperately struggled to reach out but in an instant! Qiu Yuanxue's face turned blue, her lips were dry, she felt that she couldn't breathe, and she lay on the ground in pain and struggled and said, "Ahem...... I still...... Can't ......"

At this moment, the huge snake approached the dying Qiuyuan Snow step by step, but at this moment, a beautiful flute sounded from the forest!

The serpent craned its neck and looked around warily.

At the moment of crisis, a figure suddenly fell from the treetops, standing on the ground, and a woman's back appeared in front of Qiu Yuanxue, this person was none other than He Jing.

He Jing used his flesh and blood to block Qiu Yuanxue's body, and the giant snake screamed angrily after seeing He Jing, "How!......"

It attacked He Jing, and Qiu Yuanxue, who was lying on the ground at this time, shouted in shock after seeing He Jing: "He Jing...... Ahem...... Fast...... Walk...... Leave me alone ......!!"

However, just when the giant snake was about to rush in front of He Jing, He Jing took out his flute and played a flute in front of the giant snake, only to see that the giant snake lost consciousness instantly after hearing the flute, and its eyelids slowly fell, and it fell to the ground and fell asleep.

He Jing saw that the giant snake had fallen asleep, so she relieved her heart, turned around and hurriedly ran to Qiu Yuanxue's side and bent down, at this time a large number of tears flowed down He Jing's cheeks, she cried and said: "Woo, little girl! You have to hold on! I swore in front of your father's grave to protect you, if you want me to leave you alone, I just can't do it!"

Qiu Yuanxue's consciousness became blurred, and gradually she passed out......

He Jing examined Qiu Yuanxue's body and found that the wound on her leg had gradually turned black-brown due to the toxin's erosion.

"Little girl, you are not allowed to sleep...... Hold on!" He Jing cried.

But Qiu Yuanxue still didn't wake up, she wiped her tears, and saw He Jing start to perform spells, she pinched her fingers and recited a mantra.

I saw a breath of fresh air infused into Qiu Yuanxue's fragile body.

He Jing picked up the unconscious Qiu Yuanxue and put it next to a tree trunk, she squatted down and stretched out her hand to caress Qiu Yuanxue's forehead, looked at her face with a blank gaze and said, "Don't worry, you'll be fine here, my sister......"

After finishing speaking, He Jing played a flute again, only to see an order, the sword of Qiu Yuanxue that originally fell to the ground was slowly controlled by He Jing with the flute, and gradually flew into the air, and the sword pierced into the mouth of the giant snake, as if cutting something.

In an instant, one of the snake's fangs fell, the green venom spread on the ground, and the huge teeth rolled down to He Jing's feet, He Jing did not hesitate to pick up the injured and unconscious Qiu Yuanxue and left the scene with the fangs......
