Hei Liu put down the little girl in his arms, leaned over slightly, and asked in a low voice, "What's your name?"
The little girl lowered her head, sobbing softly, and said timidly: "I... My name is Ding Ding."
She tightly grabbed Hei Liu's sleeve with her small hands, her whole body was trembling, as if she hadn't recovered from the fright just now.
Mu Ziling squatted down, looked at the little girl at the same level, and asked softly, "Little friend, why did you run into this foggy forest by yourself?"
She was very curious, the misty forest is not an ordinary forest, how could a child appear out of nowhere
"Woooo... I want to find my parents, woooo..." Ding Ding whimpered while sniffling his nose, which really aroused pity.
Hei Liu looked at the teary-eyed Ding Ding beside him, and said with some distress, "My lord, the child must have lost his way."
Well, Mu Ziling is not a hard-hearted person, seeing such a pitiful scene, she still felt a little distressed in her heart.
only-
Suspicion flashed across Mu Ziling's expression, and he continued to ask softly, "Your parents are also in this forest?"
"Well, sister, can you take me to find my parents? I'm so scared." Ding Ding timidly raised his head, his thin face was covered with tears, and looked at Mu Ziling with teary eyes.
Hearing this, Mu Ziling stared at the innocent Ding Ding, pondered for a while, and did not speak again.
"Princess Wangfei, it's getting dark, let's take her first." Hei Qi said a little bit unbearably.
He didn't think much about it. He just saw the child's life hanging by a thread and almost fell into the jaws of a tiger. Now that he thinks about it, he still feels a little scared.
Mu Ziling nodded: "Little friend, we'll take you first, but the forest is so big, it's not easy to find your parents, can you tell my sister why you and your parents came here, and how did you get separated? ?”
Mu Ziling's face was calm and unwavering, but in his heart he was secretly vigilant.
Before they came in, the entire misty forest was filled with poison. How could anyone come here alive before
If it was just this little girl who walked in by mistake, she wouldn't doubt it.
The little girl was no taller than her waist, so she couldn't touch the poisonous mist at all.
But if someone really managed to get in here alive, it would have been not long after they came in to detoxify the poisonous fog.
But that was too coincidental, the choice was simply too timely.
It's just that Ding Ding's next words made Mu Ziling immediately dispel the doubts in his heart.
"My brother came here to hunt two days ago and didn't go back. My parents were very worried and worried that I was at home, so they brought me to look for my brother. Then I got separated from my parents, and then I ran into this big tiger."
As Ding Ding was talking, the tears in his eyes fell down again, and the tears couldn't be stopped like a spring.
These two tearful little faces looked extremely pitiful.
Moreover, the cry was real, and the little face was full of indescribable sadness, which made people feel pity, and instantly softened Mu Ziling's heart.
"Let's go, don't cry, we will find your parents." Mu Ziling said without hesitation, stood up and stretched out his hand towards Tintin.
Mu Ziling no longer doubted it at the moment, if it was really Ding Ding's brother who went hunting in the misty forest two days ago, then it would be over.
Her brother probably couldn't go back because of the poisonous fog, and her parents just happened to come into the misty forest after they got rid of the poison.
Perhaps, it really is such a coincidence!
It's just that Ding Ding's reason makes people unable to find any faults. It seems to be too sufficient, which is a bit unusual.
This somewhat made Mu Ziling feel a little grudge, but she ignored it.
This Ding Ding was only seven or eight years old, and the pure innocence she showed from the bottom of her heart couldn't deceive anyone at all.
Moreover, the ferocious hanging-eyed tiger just now was real. If the child had any problems, how could he risk his life to lure the hanging-eyed tiger and wait for them to rescue him.
Besides, it was impossible for them to leave Ding Ding alone in the forest because of her unexpected appearance at the right time.
Before leaving, Mu Ziling used the star system to detect the dead eye-catching tiger, and after confirming that there was no parasitic Gu, he led a group of people to continue walking into the depths of the forest.
-
The sky has gradually darkened, and the hazy shadow of the moon in the night sky can be seen through the mist, which is extraordinarily mysterious.
For fear of disturbing the herd of wild beasts, they did not light a torch, and walked in the dark without haste.
There was no abnormal situation encountered on the road, but the deeper it went, the more eerie and strange it became.
"Aww ow~
At this time, the sound of tigers howling and wolves howling came from all around the forest, one after another, stretching continuously, which made people feel frightened and horrified.
"Everyone be careful, let's go quietly to the direction where the wild beasts are howling." Mu Ziling pointed in a direction and instructed in a soft voice.
Along the way, night is their most profitable time, and it is also a really dangerous time!
"Yes." Several officers and soldiers nodded in unison, heightening their vigilance.
"Sister, I'm afraid." Ding Ding said timidly, leaning on Mu Ziling's side and following her steps.
Mu Ziling patted Ding Ding's slender shoulder comfortingly: "Don't be afraid, there are so many of us."
The child followed them obediently along the way, and did not behave strangely, and he didn't say much, only answering questions, Mu Ziling had completely put down his guard against her now.
"Princess Wangfei, do we have to deal with the beast directly later?" Hei Qi asked in a low voice.
"No, as long as I'm a few meters away from them, I can feel the Gu worms. Remember, don't do anything unless you are discovered by them. In short, just follow my orders later." Mu Ziling reminded seriously .
The star system can detect the parasitic Gu without getting close to the beast.
So they didn't discover the parasitic Gu, so there was no need to go head-to-head with wild beasts and fight to the death.
If they provoke a group of wild beasts, no matter how powerful their martial arts are, they will be gnawed into scum if they are not careful.
It's just looking for parasitic Gu, there's no need to risk your life directly, there's no need to do things that don't pay off.
Several officers and soldiers were secretly shocked when they heard Mu Ziling's words.
After understanding this period of time, they knew that Princess Qi was powerful, but they didn't expect to be so powerful that they could directly feel the Gu worm in the belly of the beast from a few meters away.
While speaking, the howling of the beast was getting closer and closer.
For fear of unexpected situations, Mu Ziling asked Hei Liu to stay where he was and take care of Tintin.
And she led the others, still hiding in the grass, creeping forward quietly.
Aww!
Several rough roars of tigers continued one after another, resounding all around.
What they saw was only black and smeared, Mu Ziling judged from the sound that there should be three to four eye-catching tigers not far away.
"We may be discovered if there are too many people. You just wait here, and I will just move forward a little bit." Mu Ziling suppressed his low voice.
Several officers and soldiers nodded knowingly. Although they were worried, they did not dare to disobey.
After all, only Mu Ziling has the ability to detect Gu worms, and what they can do is to silently stand behind her.
Mu Ziling lowered his breath, and slowly, slowly, crawled towards the direction of the eye-catching tigers...
Getting closer, getting closer.
ten meters...
eight meters...
six meters...
As the distance slowly approached, the sound of the roar of the tiger seemed to be close to the ear, deafening.
If Mu Ziling said that she was not afraid, it must be a lie.
If she is not careful, she will become a tiger's mouth.
At this moment, he could vaguely see three tigers with hanging eyes lying under another ancient tree not far away, howling at each other.
Mu Ziling gritted her teeth secretly, trying to advance the last meter.
finally-
The star system can be detected, but unfortunately... nothing.
Mu Ziling's disappointment can be imagined in this kind of dreadful and thankless work.
Unfortunately, this is only the beginning.
Mu Ziling held her breath, suppressed the slight fear and disappointment in her heart, and continued to retreat slowly.
And just then—
"Ah—" A sharp and clear voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Immediately, Mu Ziling's heart trembled, his brows were serious, and suddenly a bad premonition came to his heart.
At this moment, Mu Ziling was hiding behind an old tree, and she didn't care about the situation behind her, she moved her eyes and secretly looked in front of her—
Sure enough, the four tall and ferocious hanging-eyed tigers that had been hiding under the old tree had already got up simultaneously, and strode towards her with their heads held high.
For a moment, Mu Ziling's expression changed suddenly, and it was not true that he would retreat, nor would he not retreat.
And what she was most worried about was whether the officers and soldiers not far from her would impulsively kill Diao Jinghu if they saw that the eye-catching tiger was alarmed.
Yet... she was right to be concerned.
"Princess Wangfei!" Hei Qi rushed over with the rest of the people.
With this loud shout, before Hei Qi and the others rushed over, Mu Ziling was already completely terrified by the scene in front of him!
"I sue!" Mu Ziling cursed inwardly.
It was still found!
Mu Ziling groaned secretly in her heart, wanting to cry but without tears, she looked at the four tall and ferocious tigers with hanging eyes who were only about three meters away from her.
She suddenly had the urge to crash into a tree and die.
What does it mean to do bad things with good intentions
Hei Qi's eager cry, are you sure he isn't making trouble
"Ow—an earth-shattering roar.
An eye-catching tiger couldn't wait to rush towards Mu Ziling, its mouth was wide open, its sharp teeth were like sharp knives, its cold light gleamed, and it was particularly penetrating.
Mu Ziling subconsciously tried her best to spread her legs and ran back.
Immediately afterwards, several other hanging-eyed tigers also rushed away.
At the same time, Hei Qi and the others quickly rushed to Mu Ziling's side.
The four gathered and stood side by side, holding the shiny and dazzling sword in their hands, and tightly guarding Mu Ziling behind them.
The four hanging-eyed tigers also seemed to be aware of the danger, and they stopped in their tracks immediately, their eyes were full of fierceness, their teeth were bared, their vicious aura was overwhelming, and their roars continued, resounding through the entire forest.
"Princess Wangfei, you run first, we'll leave this place to us." Hei Qi looked terrified, holding the sword high in his hand, ready to go.
