Chapter 41: The Wasteland

It was a barren place, with deep and shallow pools of water, and layers of dead wood and leaves, and some trees that were neither tall nor low, all gray leaves.

There are no insects and birds, and there seems to be no life here.

Next to a pond, the unsheathed Heavenly Missing Knife stuck into the ground, emitting a faint golden light.

Yuan Cheng was lying in a pond, his clothes soaked with water, and his face had long since lost its bloody color.

Yuan Cheng closed his eyes, as if he had long lost his life, and he was so lifeless.

Suddenly, something came out of Yuan Cheng's arms.

It turned out to be a little fox.

The little fox stared at Yuan Cheng quietly, and tears actually flowed from his eyes.

The little fox stared at Yuan Cheng and thought for a long time, and suddenly got into Yuan Cheng's arms again.

Then the little fox turned out a fruit from Yuan Cheng's arms, and this fruit was pitch black, like ink. Although it is a holy medicine, it exudes a strange aura.

Then the little fox swallowed the fruit without hesitation.

The little fox ran not far away, lying on the ground motionless.

Not long after, the little fox's body was blazing, emitting an extremely dazzling light.

Even the air in this pond is starting to thin out.

The little fox was burned as if it had been burned, and the snow-white hair on its body was burned by the light of the fire in an instant, and then it began to transform from a human.

Then the little fox's body was wrapped in a thin curtain of light, like a silkworm cocoon.

It seemed that the process was very painful, and the little fox's wailing was constantly heard.

The water in the surrounding ponds is decreasing at a rate that is visible to the naked eye.

And the temperature in this area has naturally risen a lot.

After about an hour, a young girl stepped out of the light curtain.

This girl's skin is snow-white, and there is no blemish on her body. Walking swaying, his body is unusually light.

It can be said that this is a perfect body, when standing still, it looks like a painting, and when it moves, it is all fascinating.

Even if it is the fairy of the nine heavens, it is only like this after descending to earth.

But it's not just beautiful, it's also a breathtaking beauty that makes people feel breathless after watching it.

The girl's appearance can only be described by the word enchantment.

And this enchanting girl is the little fox Chi Xiaoyu who devoured the transformation fruit.

At this moment, Chi Xiaoyu walked towards Yuan Cheng and stared at Yuan Cheng blankly for a while, tears flowed out of his big eyes again.

Then Chi Xiaoyu lay on Yuan Cheng's chest, and exhaled when he heard the faint sound of his heartbeat.

Chi Xiaoyu dragged Yuan Cheng out of the pond and found a dry place. took off Yuan Cheng's soaked clothes and found a branch to prop himself up.

Chi Xiaoyu found some dead branches and leaves, and with a light touch of his hand, those leaves burst into flames.

Chi Xiaoyu touched Yuan Cheng's cold body, and lay on Yuan Cheng's chest as if he had slept before, hoping to give Yuan Cheng a little warmth.

After drying the clothes, Yuan Cheng cleaned up, and then Chi Xiaoyu also put on Yuan Cheng's coat.

Chi Xiaoyu looked around with big eyes, but found that the swamp was so large that there seemed to be no sign of life.

After thinking for a while, Chi Xiaoyu dragged Yuan Cheng to the Tianqi Knife, and then applied a layer of spells on Yuan Cheng's body that he didn't know what it was.

"Brother Cheng, I'm going to find someone to save you, you must wait for me!" Chi Xiaoyu quickly left this place and walked into the distance.

Chi Xiaoyu's head was covered with beads of sweat, although he ran fast, his steps were extremely vain, which was the disadvantage of just devouring the transformation fruit.

A natural treasure like the Transformation Fruit must have someone by your side to protect the Dharma when you take it, otherwise you will be weak and difficult to move forward after the transformation. If there is a mistake in the process of transformation, the director will be killed immediately.

I don't know how long I walked, Chi Xiaoyu only felt that he was getting farther and farther away from Yuan Cheng, but this swamp was as vast as no boundary, unimaginably large.

Suddenly, the little fox stopped in the middle of the run, shouted no good, and then hurried back.

The speed at which the little fox went back this time was as fast as a meteor, and it had surpassed Yuan Cheng's Big Dipper footwork.

From a distance, I saw a centipede as big as a hill, staring at Yuan Cheng on the ground.

Chi Xiaoyu used all his strength and rushed over in one breath, and then his palm glowed with a red light, and he slapped it towards the centipede's body with one palm.

The big centipede was like a hill, and Chi Xiaoyu's blow was a bit overwhelming.

And the centipede seemed to have already noticed Chi Xiaoyu, and with a sweep of its tail, it was like a gust of wind.

Chi Xiaoyu was like a paper man, and as soon as he touched the wind, he flew out.

Then came an old voice.

"It's been a long time since I've seen someone so daring, even this thousand-year-old centipede dares to fight!"

Chi Xiaoyu looked at the big centipede, and saw that the centipede's body was as thick as a well, its appearance was pitch black, its head was as big as two tables, the two tentacles on its head had already turned into two horns, and its two eyes were like two pu fans flashing with black light, and they were staring at Yuan Cheng on the ground with their heads held high.

And on the head of the big centipede, there sat an old woman with a disheveled head. The old woman had white hair, and her face was wrinkled like the bark of a tree, but there was a light in her eyes, a terrifying light, as if it had been seen through in an instant. And in the hands of the old woman, there was a short staff, which was inlaid with jasper.

The big centipede didn't seem to be interested in Chi Xiaoyu, and kept staring at Yuan Cheng's body.

Chi Xiaoyu got up from the ground, ran to Yuan Cheng, and spread his arms in front of the big centipede.

"Mother-in-law, I don't think you're a bad person, can you let me go and become a brother?" Chi Xiaoyu's eyes were resolute, but there was pleading in his tone.

"Hahaha, it's the first time in a hundred years that I've heard someone say that I'm not like a bad person. The old woman threw up her head and laughed as if she had heard something very funny.

"Little girl, I see that this young man has a bloodless face, and it seems that he has suffered a heavy blow, and it is estimated that his life is in danger. My Heifeng brother has always had a keen breath, and he likes to eat dead things, whether it is birds and beasts, or people, he will not be able to live if he is targeted by this Heifeng brother. The old woman looked stern, and it didn't seem like a joke.

"Looks like you fell from above, didn't you? I didn't think anyone could break through the miasma and not survive the fall. The old woman looked surprised.

"I beg my mother-in-law to save me from becoming an older brother, as long as I can save my brother, I am willing to do anything. When Chi Xiaoyu heard that Yuan Cheng's life was not long in coming, he had already burst into tears, and knelt down in front of the big centipede to plead.

Since it fell from above, it must have nothing to do with the Xuanqing faction, is it?

The old woman's face was cloudy, as if she was thinking about something.

"You tell me what happened slowly, let me hear what this Xuanqing faction has done!" The old woman thought about it for a long time, and with a gentle wave of her hand, Chi Xiaoyu flew to the head of the big centipede as if it was blown by the wind.

"Mother-in-law, here's the thing" Chi Xiaoyu then told the story of the Xuanqing faction.

"Okay, you Xuanqing faction, you treated me like this a hundred years ago, and you did this to this teenager a hundred years later. What a deception!" The old woman's hair fluttered in the wind as she listened. And as the old woman's terrifying aura fluctuated, the surrounding pond actually began to gurgle and bubble.

Then the old woman made a move, and Yuan Cheng flew to the centipede's back, and then sucked the knife again, but did not suck it.

"Huh?" the old woman looked at the golden knife with some surprise.

"The sky is short of knives?" the old woman stared for a moment, and finally got an answer.

"I can't imagine that this kid is carrying a superb weapon, and I am really more and more curious about this kid's life experience. The old woman then patted the centipede's head, and the big centipede's tail swept away, and then carried the Tianqi knife on her back.

Then the big centipede fell to the ground with its head, like a fast-moving hill, and swept quickly into the distance.

"Thank you, mother-in-law. ”

On Brother Heifeng's head, Chi Xiaoyu, who had become extremely weak because of swallowing the Transformation Fruit, fell asleep deeply.

"I can't imagine that the old thing of the Xuanqing faction is not dead yet! It seems that some accounts should be settled sooner or later!" On Brother Heifeng's head, the old woman sat cross-legged on it, looking sharply into the distance.
