The two looked at each other and smiled, and the slight unhappiness hidden in their hearts when they met for the first time vanished. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Xiao Wu no longer regarded him as a sour scholar who didn't know how to change, and Ning Rong no longer looked down on Xiao Wu's youth.

Under the hazy moonlight, the two talked freely, you talk about your experience in the rivers and lakes, I said that my study is difficult, although it seems to be far from the south, but it is also a very happy conversation.

At the turn of night, the sky was white, and Yan Zhao's complexion was much better, and he came to Xiao Wu's side, his big hand slapped on Xiao Wu's shoulder, and the voice of the voice, even if he was injured internally, was still loud.

"Brother, this time it's a big loss, let the old witch run away in vain, and it won't be easy to catch her next time. ”

Hearing Yan Zhao's words, there was a lot of unwillingness, but seeing Xiao Wu's smile was meaningful.

"Brother Yan, don't worry, she can't run. ”

"Oh, brother, what's the solution, hurry up. ”

Seeing that there was another mystery in Xiao Wu's words, even Ning Rong, who didn't know much about this matter, looked curious.

It's just that Xiao Wu didn't tell the reason, but introduced Ning Ronglai to Yan Zhao. Seeing that the two knew each other, he continued.

"Brother Yan, Brother Ning. The two of you should go back to the city first and go to find Lord Li. If Brother Ning is not in a hurry, he will stay at Lord Li's house first, and then it will not be too late to hurry when the matter has calmed down. As for Brother Yan, I don't know how the injuries are on his body?"

"It's just a small injury, it's not in the way. ”

"That being the case, at noon today, I will ask Brother Yan to wait here in the broken temple, and then I need to ask Lord Li to give an order and send more than a dozen officers and soldiers to assist. ”

Yan Zhao was puzzled.

"Brother, the officers and soldiers in this city are just rudimentary martial arts, even if they help from the side, what is the use. ”

As he spoke, Yan Zhao remembered something again and asked.

"By the way, brother, what are you going to do again?"

"Naturally, I want to chase the old witch, she is seriously injured, how can such a good opportunity be let go in vain. As for the usefulness of those officers and soldiers, I suspect that there should still be many captured civilians in the grandmother's lair, and when the time comes to clear and rescue, I am afraid that you and I alone will not be able to take care of them. ”

Seeing that Xiao Wu said firmly, Yan Zhao was overjoyed.

"Brother, don't you know where that old witch's lair is?"

"I don't know. ”

"Then how can you find her, even if she is seriously injured, for such a long time, I am afraid that she will crawl back, brother, where are you going to look for her?"

Yan Zhao couldn't help but feel a little frustrated in his words, but Xiao Wu said indifferently.

"Brother Yan, since I said that I can find it, I will definitely find it, as long as you come on time. ”

Yan Zhao still wanted to refute, but seeing Xiao Wu's confident demeanor, he compromised.

"But······ Anyway, brother, you act carefully on your own, and you can rest assured that I will be here before noon. ”

After that, Xiao Wu said goodbye to the two who returned to the city, carried the acacia sword, and ran in the direction where his grandmother fled at that time.

After walking a short distance, the blood stains on the ground had disappeared, thinking that grandma was cautious and deliberate.

Seeing this, Xiao Wu was disdainful and said in a low voice.

"Hmph, do you really think it's so easy to escape? ”

Xiao Wu sniffed around, although two or three hours have passed, but the air is still filled with a faint smell of wine, ordinary people may not be able to perceive it, but Xiao Wu, who has lived by the side of an alcoholic since he was a child, and he is destined to become a drunkard in the future, is not, at that time, a wine archery was in the middle of grandma, and the wine smell of the old wine in the wine pot was left on grandma, Xiao Wu was confident that he could trace down grandma's old nest.

Recognizing the direction of the residual alcohol in the air, Xiao Wu looked confidently at the southeast after a while.

"This is it. ”

After almost a quarter of an hour's effort, Xiao Wu pursued the aroma of wine and came to the outside of the lush woods on the side, which was close to the edge of Gongzhou, close to Taozhou, and only a dozen miles away from Beiguo City, but the landforms of the two were very different.

Different from the boundless 500-mile desert in the center of Gongzhou, the edge of Gongzhou is overgrown with grass and trees, and the streams are dense.

In fact, Xiao Wu once heard the old man of Beiguo City say that although the boundary of Gongzhou was once not called the land of fish and water, it was also a good place with many forests and meandering rivers, but it was as if it had been punished by God, and it became like this in just a dozen years.

Xiao Wu cautiously walked into this forest, the forest was very quiet, and after walking only a dozen steps, Xiao Wu stopped, frowning and secretly saying in his heart.

"There is something strange about this forest, it is so quiet, or it is silent, it is really as if there is not a living thing, it is like a dead land. ”

As he continued to move forward, he looked around, but at tea time, Xiao Wu saw a faint mist not far in front of him.

"Is it fog, or is it miasma?"

If you look closely, the trees not far away are wrapped around many dark green vines with spikes, and this vine is only the thickness of a finger as if it is breathing, constantly emitting wisps of miasma.

"Blood Bait Vine!"

Xiao Wu secretly thought in his heart, this kind of vine grows through trees, but it will not overabsorb the nutrients of trees, it can swallow miasma by nature, and it can psychedelize the mind of pedestrians and animals in the forest, once it can't escape quickly, it will die in the forest nine times out of ten, becoming the fertilizer of this blood bait vine, and after this blood bait vine is full, it will feed back the parasitic tree to make it grow more lush.

When Xiao Wu was walking on Jiannan Road, he had seen that there were evil sects among the local natives who deliberately raised blood bait vines, often sacrificing livestock, and sometimes offering living people, just to wait for the blood bait vines to bloom and pick the blood bait flowers to assist in practice. At that time, Xiao Wu, who didn't know that this misty miasma was powerful, rashly attacked and almost fell into that forest.

Xiao Wu tore off a corner, poured the little wine syrup in the wine bag on it and soaked it, and then used it to cover his mouth and nose, and then walked into the miasma.

Running all the way, in the miasma only ten zhang away, the miasma in the forest is even more intense, there is no attenuation, the miasma color is from the initial like a cloud, to a miserable green color, even if Xiao Wu came up with emergency measures, but still dizzy, can only move forward.

"Unexpectedly, the old witch still has this kind of means, such a large area of blood bait vine forest is really a good way to take care of the family. ”

Xiao Wu, who was secretly slandering, already felt that the scene in front of him was a little shaky, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth, and pulled out the acacia sword, dancing like the wind, and the sword shadows were stacked on top of each other, and in an instant, a clearing was stirred.

Hurriedly gasping for breath, Xiao Wu, who was slightly sober, immediately took a sharp breath, urged his light skills with all his strength, and swept forward quickly, ignoring the shadows of the rapidly retreating trees around him, Xiao Wu only wanted to rush out of this miasma at this time.

"Hoo ······"

Xiao Wu, who hurriedly escaped from the miasma, held his knees and gasped for breath, and the miasma behind him was already a certain distance away from him, so Xiao Wu stopped.

After stabilizing his breath, Xiao Wu looked up and looked around, but what he saw made Xiao Wu feel terrified, and then his eyes were about to crack.

I saw that the woods in front of me were overgrown with dead trees, and there was not a single leaf on the canopy, and the blood bait vines tightly wrapped around the trunk were all the thickness of the bowl mouth, the surface was dry and cracked, and some flower bones grew in the cracks, and some were dry calyxes—the flowers seemed to have been picked a long time ago.

The dirt on the ground was dark red, and if you looked closely, there were even some white bones wrapped in the trunks of the trees, and the strange stones under the trees were actually human skulls that had been stained with dust after being dried.

"You demon, dare to do such a hurtful thing, heaven and earth can't tolerate it!"

Xiao Wu clenched his teeth, and his voice seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth.

It's no wonder that Xiao Wu is so angry, even if the scene here is described as Infernal Hell, it is more than that, the blood bait vines that are stored in this forest can have such a scale, and there are more than a thousand souls buried in the forest, but anyone with a normal mind will be so frightened and resentful in their hearts when they see such a perverse situation.

"Poof!"

With a slash of rage, the sword light flashed, and Xiao Wu cut off the blood bait vine in front of him with a sword, and the split vine flowed down from the incision with dark red and sticky juice.

There was a chill in his eyes, looking at a courtyard faintly visible in the depths of the forest, Xiao Wu carried the Acacia Sword and walked over with firm steps, and there was a wisp of dark red flowing on the blade of the Acacia Sword.

Xiao Wu, the killing intent has been decided.
