Chapter 38: Reversal of the Tide
In the cave, Qiu Yuanxue wielded a sword blade that ignited white flames, "Boom——!", practicing her sword skills, only to see her turn around and sweep out a crescent moon burning with white flames, and explode a crack on the rock wall.
"It seems that you have mastered the Heavenly Fire Sword Technique. The glowing Celestial Dragon in the sword responded.
"Whew...... There should be a way to deal with that group of harmful demon beasts. ”
"Wow, Sister Xue's swordsmanship is so powerful. Xingyu Yege applauded and exclaimed.
"Okay, Yege, you're hungry, I've brought you a box of hot leeks to eat. ”
Xing Yuxiang got up and took out the six leek boxes wrapped in steamer cloth from the baggage, he took out three wrapped in cloth and handed them to Yege and said.
"Brother, you are really, why did you take it out? I'm hungry. ”
Xing Yuxiang came to Qiu Yuanxue again, handed her the remaining three leek boxes and said, "Miss Qiu, you have been practicing swords for a long time, let's eat something too." ”
"Thank you, but I'm not too hungry right now, so you might as well give it to Sister Yege, I'm afraid she won't be able to eat. ”
"My sister, she's fine, Miss Qiu, you just take it, as the saying goes, people are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry. ”
"That'...... All right. ”
At night, Xingyu Yege lay on her side on a simple blanket made of wheat straw and fell asleep soundly.
Qiu Yuanxue came to the entrance of the cave and looked at the stars in the night sky and said, "Tomorrow...... Defeat the monsters no matter what. ”
"Miss Qiu, don't you have a way to deal with that group of demon beasts just now?" Xing Yuxiang walked over and asked.
"Well, I think so, tomorrow morning I will go out of the cave alone to deal with those demon beasts, and I will contact you with the sound transmission stone when it is confirmed that it is safe. "Qiu Yuanxue and Xing Yuxiang are two people
At this time, Xing Yuxiang suddenly recalled what Le Shaoying had said when he was at the Kaifeng Inn before......
"Little brother, if you really want to care about Miss Qiu, you should care more about her body......"
Thinking of this, Xing Yuxiang said to Qiu Yuanxue resolutely.
"Autumn girl, I want to go with you tomorrow ......"
"No, Xing Yuxiang, you still have a sister to take care of, and your sword hasn't awakened yet, so you can't deal with those demon beasts at the moment. ”
"But I at least want to do something for you......"
"I can understand your intentions, but the only thing you can do now is to live, and this is the greatest help to me! ”
"But I'm worried about you...... In case ......"
“...... Don't worry, I'll be fine. ”
Qiu Yuanxue heard Xing Yuxiang suddenly say this, and her face inadvertently flushed with a hint of ruddy, and she said.
“...... Alright, Miss Qiu, you must be careful tomorrow, I wait for the news of your safety. ”
"Well, I will... That's right......... That, when we were trapped during the day today, you said that...... From the heart?"
Qiu Yuanxue agreed, and then she said a little shy and embarrassed.
"Which one?"
"That's it...... At a time when I was trapped in a lot of cobwebs...... What did you say to the monsters......"
"You mean that?...... Oh, I didn't know what happened at the time, and it was a sudden impulse...... Just say something like that. ”
"Huh...... You, I didn't expect that sometimes you also love to be a hero in front of everyone, but have you ever thought about what your sister would do when you said that?"
At this time, my sister, who was inputting water, suddenly shouted in her sleep while holding her saliva: "The leek box is so delicious, I still want to eat it...... Whew......"
"Huh...... Your sister is so cute......" Qiu Yuanxue said with a casual laugh as she looked at Yege, who was sleeping.
"Hah...... I'm sorry, my sister Ling let Miss Qiu laugh at you. Xing Yuxiang scratched the back of his head and said embarrassedly.
“...... Miss Qiu, you are smiling again......" Xing Yuxiang saw Qiu Yuanxue's smiling appearance, and slowly reveled in it.
"Is there a ?......" Qiu Yuanxue's face turned even redder after hearing this, and her heart beat vigorously.
Miss Qiu laughed...... It's so beautiful......" Xing Yuxiang looked at Qiu Yuanxue with blank eyes and muttered quietly.
"What were you muttering just now?...... Qiu Yuanxue asked as she looked at Xing Yuxiang suspiciously.
"Ah...... Not...... It's nothing ......," Xing Yuxiang, who came back to his senses, blushed and shook his head embarrassedly and said.
"By the way, if you act tomorrow, Miss Qiu, I'll try to see if I can use my sword to help you predict the location of the demon beast. ”
"Well, if you can know the enemy's movements in advance, then you have a better chance of defeating them, but ...... How could I not have that with that sword?
"I found it by accident, and the only thing I can do to help you at the moment is this, anyway, I hope you are safe tomorrow. ”
"Well, it's not too early to go and rest. ”
So Qiu Yuanxue and Xing Yuxiang also returned to the campfire in the cave, lying on the hay blanket, Xing Yuxiang held the silver bronze sword in his arms, looked up at the rock wall above the cave, and said to the sword in his hand: "Sword, you must bless Miss Qiu with safety tomorrow, and then it all depends on your ability." ”
The next morning, just as Xing Yuxiang was asleep, Yege noticed that something was wrong, she hurriedly came to Xing Yuxiang's side, squatted down and shook his body, and said, "Brother, wake up!"
"Hmm?...... What's wrong?sister?" Xing Yuxiang sat up after being woken up by his sister, he rubbed his hazy sleepy eyes and lazily asked.
"Oh no, Sister Xue, she's gone. ”
"Oh...... I know, she's gone to clean up the monsters...... Oh no, I said I was going to help her......."
"What! she's alone! No, I'm going to find her. ”
"Hey, Yege, don't go! Miss Autumn told us to stay here and wait for her news, and she has a way to deal with the monsters, what I need to do is to help her predict where the enemy will appear. ”
"Brother, but this forest is so dangerous, how can you let her go alone?"
"It's precisely because of the danger that we can't go out! Once we go out, we can't help it, not to mention, but it will affect Miss Qiu. I also want to help her, but now all I can do is to predict the enemy's trajectory and tell her in advance, so as to provide a turnaround for the battle between the Autumn Maiden and the demon beast, which is the only way to win. ”
Xingyu Yege was very helpless, but she thought about it calmly and felt that what Xing Yuxiang said was not unreasonable, so she had to sit cross-legged on the hay blanket and wait quietly for the news of Qiu Yuanxue.
At the same time, in the jungle, Qiu Yuanxue was walking vigilantly with the sword that had already been transformed into the Heavenly God Sword, and suddenly a spider web sprayed out of the mouth of the demon beast hiding in the shadows and shot quickly, at this time, the sound transmission stone hanging on Qiu Yuanxue's waist came from Xing Yuxiang's voice: "Autumn girl, be careful on the right side!
"Thanks, got it"
Qiu Yuanxue immediately turned around, and sure enough, a huge spider web flew towards Qiu Yuanxue at great speed, only to see Qiu Yuanxue's two fingers on the sword surface, and a row of white flames instantly burned on the blade.
Then, the moment the cobwebs flew past, she slashed quickly from the bottom to the top, and the white flames on the blade slashed through the cobwebs, burning the entire cobwebs in an instant and dissipating them into the air.
Qiu Yuanxue frowned, stretched out her hand holding the sword, pointed at the group of demon beasts hiding in the shadows, and said: "You group of harmful demon beasts, don't think that I will win the same trick a second time, I will kill you one by one." ”
The demon beasts hiding in the shadows roared angrily, they secretly surrounded Qiuyuan Xue, and frantically spit out cobwebs from their mouths, and then the sound transmission stone came out of Xing Yuxiang's words and said: "Autumn girl be careful, this time they shot cobwebs from all directions!"
"Did you learn to outflank?"
I saw Qiu Yuanxue spinning itself quickly, only to see that due to the high-speed rotation, with the trajectory of the sword, a raging white flame appeared, and in an instant, the entire white flame wrapped her inside, forming a rapidly rotating white fireball, a large number of cobwebs were burned by the fireball in an instant, and then the white flame spread out, knocking down a large number of spider monsters hiding in the trees to the ground.
Their tentacles struggled desperately with their tentacles facing the sky, and one of the demon beasts flipped over, and after seeing Qiu Yuanxue falling smoothly on the ground, it wanted to spit out the spider silk from its mouth again, Qiu Yuanxue once again waved the blade in his hand from the bottom to the top and shouted: "Look at the move!
I saw a crescent moon burning with white flames flying out, and after quickly burning the spider silk it spit out, it was also split in half along with the body of the demon beast by the flying fire moon, and burned its body into countless spots of light and dissipated in the air.
After seeing the sacrifice of their companions, many demon beasts got up one after another and roared angrily: "Whoa!!!"
After that, they frantically pounced towards Qiu Yuanxue, Qiu Yuanxue picked up the sword and rushed over, only to see that she and the sword figures changed into a white fire in the blink of an eye, passing through the crowd of demon beasts at a high speed, and a sword light and sword shadow "Boom Boom!" quickly flashed.
Qiu Yuanxue turned her back to the group of demon beasts that were pierced by the sword light, and they fell to the ground in an instant, and a large amount of green blood splattered in all directions.
"Whew...... Finally solved this group of troublesome guys, and they don't know how many innocent lives they have killed here. Qiu Yuanxue shook off the green blood stains on the blade of the sword and said.
After dealing with the demon beast, Qiu Yuanxue repeatedly confirmed the movement of the main forest, and after finding that there was no danger, she took the sound transmission stone and said to Xing Yuxiang: "Xing Yuxiang, Sister Night Song, you can come out when it's over, and you can find me by walking all the way to the north." ”
Just as Qiu Yuanxue was talking through the sound transmission stone, suddenly a white mist rose out of nowhere in the main jungle, and the mist enveloped Qiu Yuanxue inside.
After Qiu Yuanxue sensed the abnormality, she immediately became vigilant, hung the sound transmission stone on her waist, and looked around with a sword.
I saw that in front of her, the black-haired woman who was holding a cat-faced mask with a black bronze sword and an identical appearance as Qiu Yuanxue walked over, she picked up the sword and pointed at Qiu Yuanxue and said, "I didn't expect you to survive this dead forest...... I don't know how you defeated those monsters, but what I do know is that you're going to die by my sword. ”
"Who the hell are you?......?"
Qiu Yuanxue also picked up the sword and asked.
