In another place in the Mysterious Forest, a blue light suddenly appeared. After the blue light, Jun Xiaomo, Rong Ruihan and Ye Xiuwen fell out of the void and fell to the ground covered with fallen leaves.
Jun Xiaomo was a little better. Ye Xiuwen caught her in time and transferred the wind spell, which slowed down their fall. However, the unconscious Rong Ruihan hit the ground directly with a muffled sound. .
Fortunately, Rong Ruihan was rough-skinned and thick-skinned, so he didn't suffer any major problems.
Ye Xiuwen held Jun Xiaomo's shoulders with both hands, and the two of them slowly landed on the ground.
The body temperature under his palms was surprisingly cold, and Ye Xiuwen frowned slightly.
"Pfft..." As soon as she stepped onto the ground, Jun Xiaomo spurted out a mouthful of blood. The blood dyed Ye Xiuwen's clothes red, but she didn't even have the strength to apologize to Ye Xiuwen.
If Ye Xiuwen hadn't supported her, she might have fallen directly to the ground.
"Xiao Mo!" Ye Xiuwen felt nervous and hurriedly took out a bottle of healing medicine from the storage ring, poured out two pills, and stuffed them into Jun Xiaomo's mouth.
Jun Xiaomo's head was so dizzy that she could barely swallow anything, but Ye Xiuwen insisted on putting the medicine to her lips, and even pressed her lower lip with his index finger, trying to put the healing medicine in.
The smell of healing medicine came to her nose, and she felt a slight strong pressure on her lips. Although Jun Xiaomo did not raise her head, she could imagine Ye Xiuwen's anxious look at this moment.
In order to make her senior brother feel at ease, she still tried hard to swallow the two healing pills.
After taking the healing medicine, Jun Xiaomo took a few breaths of labored breath, and then slowly wiped away the blood on her mouth, but she never raised her head.
The sunlight slanted across her thick eyelashes, casting a shadow.
"Xiao Mo..." Ye Xiuwen whispered softly.
He knew that Jun Xiaomo must be feeling very uncomfortable now because of Xiaotuanzi's incident.
"Brother, I can't hold it anymore. I want to sit on the ground." Jun Xiaomo said in a weak voice, making it difficult to hear the emotions inside.
Ye Xiuwen took out an animal skin mat from the storage ring and spread it on the ground covered with fallen leaves. Then he supported Jun Xiaomo and carefully let her sit on it.
When Jun Xiaomo sat on the animal skin mat, Ye Xiuwen could only see her hair.
He bent his knees and buried his head in his knees...
Ye Xiuwen pursed his thin lips. He had rarely seen Jun Xiaomo look so fragile.
Even though the previous situation was so dangerous and desperate, Jun Xiaomo did not show any timidity or fear. She just tried her best to fight, trying not to become a burden to Rong Ruihan and Ye Xiuwen.
This kind of Jun Xiaomo didn't look like a child who had been pampered since childhood. On the contrary, he was so sensible that Ye Xiuwen... felt distressed.
Half-crouching down so that he was on the same level as Jun Xiaomo, Ye Xiuwen gently patted Jun Xiaomo's head and said, "Xiaomo, you have done a good job. That incident with Xiaotuanzi... It was an unexpected situation that none of us expected.”
Jun Xiaomo trembled slightly. Ye Xiuwen thought he had touched Jun Xiaomo's wound and was about to take it back. Unexpectedly, the next moment, Jun Xiaomo suddenly clenched his fists.
A slight choking sound came from where Jun Xiaomo buried her head. She still didn't raise her head, but Ye Xiuwen knew that Jun Xiaomo was crying.
"This is already the third time... The third time I have abandoned Xiaotuanzi..."
"It's such a small ball, I always think that the enemy won't notice it, so every time we encounter an emergency, it is always the first to be abandoned..."
"Actually, it should be very scared, so it takes the initiative to find it every time."
"I'm not a qualified master, but it always follows me stupidly... This time it's even stupider... Why did it help me block that arrow? It's so small, how could it possibly withstand that arrow? …”
"What should I do? I would rather it be me who gets hurt..."
That arrow was aimed at Jun Xiaomo's heart. If Jun Xiaomo had suffered the arrow alive, her life would have been hanging by a thread.
But Jun Xiaomo felt that even if her life was hanging by a thread, it would be better than Xiaotuanzi taking the arrow for her.
In her opinion, it was almost impossible for Xiaotuanzi to survive after being hit by this arrow. The deep guilt and pain were so heavy in her heart that she could hardly breathe.
She remembered a lot of things, all about the little dumpling - such a small white ball, always staying so obediently in its own little bag. Obviously the little bag restricted its movements, but it still didn't do anything. Complaining never gets you into trouble easily.
On the contrary, it will stretch its claws towards the enemy in order to protect itself, and will secretly rub it in its own palm when it feels sad.
It had saved her and Senior Brother Ye's lives before, and it saved her life again this time.
And what about Xiaotuanzi? Time and again, when she had to make a choice, she put Xiaotuanzi in a secondary position. In other words, she "abandoned" Xiaotuanzi, again and again.
In fact, Xiaotuanzi regarded her as his only protection, right? She should have been more careful to protect this fragile little thing, but...
Jun Xiaomo's memory of Xiaotuanzi was fixed on the scene when the arrow fell from Xiaotuanzi, and her back trembled even more.
Will Xiaotuanzi be scared when he is hit by an arrow? Will it be sad because it has been abandoned again
Ye Xiuwen was keenly aware that Jun Xiaomo's emotions were on the verge of losing control. He hugged Jun Xiaomo in time and held her whole body in his arms.
Not knowing what to say to comfort the other party, Ye Xiuwen could only slowly pat Jun Xiaomo's back to calm her down.
"Senior brother, I want to go back to find Xiaotuanzi." Jun Xiaomo raised his head and said in a hoarse voice.
Her eyes were severely red and swollen, and her lower lip was bitten with a circle of blood.
Ye Xiuwen's face suddenly darkened: "What can you do if you go back? Do you want Xiaotuanzi's sacrifice to be in vain!"
"But... maybe Xiaotuanzi is not dead..." Jun Xiaomo choked up and said.
She knew very well that this hope was very slim, but she still wanted to try her luck.
She didn't want to leave Xiaotuanzi behind anymore, even if...even if there was only a small body, she would take it back.
Ye Xiuwen saw what Jun Xiaomo was thinking. His heart stopped and he forcefully pushed Jun Xiaomo's head off, making her look at him. He said with anger in his eyes: "Even if Xiaotuanzi is not dead, what can you do if you go back?" What are you doing?! Bring it back? Can you bring it back? Don’t forget that the Imperial Preceptor is still there waiting for you. Or do you think the Imperial Preceptor will let you go if you kneel down and cry bitterly? Ma, huh?! Xiaomo, can you wake up a little!"
Jun Xiaomo looked at Ye Xiuwen blankly, and after a moment, big tears fell again.
But this time, she no longer said anything about "turning back".
Ye Xiuwen sighed, rubbed Jun Xiaomo's head, and said, "Xiaomo, you have to understand that impulsiveness cannot solve the problem."
Jun Xiaomo lowered his head and said softly with a nasal voice: "I know too... It's just..."
Jun Xiaomo suddenly paused. After a moment, she raised her head and said with bright eyes: "Brother, you are right, there are other ways for me to know if Xiaotuanzi is okay."
After saying that, she hurriedly took out a blank formation scroll, spread it on the ground and started drawing.
This is a formation diagram that is very similar to the searching formation, but it is simpler than the searching formation and does not take as much time.
Jun Xiaomo still has some white fluff from Xiaotuanzi left in her storage ring. With these fluff and the formation drawn now, she can at least know Xiaotuanzi's condition.
This is also her only hope...
Ye Xiuwen sighed lightly, feeling that it might take a long time for the younger junior sister to get over this hurdle in her heart. Xiaotuanzi's "sacrifice" made Ye Xiuwen feel very complicated in his heart, including gratitude and guilt. However, his relationship with Xiaotuanzi was not as deep as Jun Xiaomo's. Moreover, as the only person who is still "sober" now, He had to make arrangements for the three of them to escape.
His eyes were cast into the distance, his expression still heavy.
Because, they were only temporarily out of the battle circle, but they were not really safe yet.
Compared with the Imperial Master and his group of subordinates, the strength of the three of them is still too weak.
Can they really overcome this predicament
On the other side, Xiaotuanzi, who was mistakenly thought to have been "sacrificed" by Jun Xiaomo and Ye Xiuwen, rolled twice on the ground and stood up tremblingly.
Its body was surrounded by a thick layer of demonic energy. It was this demonic energy that prevented it from being pierced by the ice arrow.
When the ice arrow arrived near Xiaotuanzi, it was strangely "swallowed" by the demonic energy surrounding Xiaotuanzi's body.
However, the impact brought by the ice arrow still hit Xiaotuanzi, which is why it fell.
Xiaotuanzi was indeed injured, but it was a minor injury and he would recover in a few days.
"Zhizhi..." After Xiaotuanzi recovered, he ran to the place where Jun Xiaomo disappeared, but only saw an empty formation diagram.
After using this formation diagram once, it is invalid.
"Zhizhizhi..."
Xiaomo...
The little dumpling called Jun Xiaomo's name in a low voice using a "language" that only it understood.
Its body was indeed not injured much, but its heart was really hurt.
Once again it was "abandoned".
Even if it knew that Jun Xiaomo didn't mean it, it was still sad.
Why were the other two people never lost by Xiaomo? Why is it always the one that gets lost
The little dumpling balled up into a ball, lying sadly on the formation diagram where Jun Xiaomo once stood, and even scratched it with his paws.
But it was impossible for it to pull out Jun Xiaomo.
"Isn't this the Tuanzi next to Jun Xiaomo?" A female voice sounded above Xiao Tuanzi's head with full of hatred.
"Zhizhi!" Xiaotuanzi could guess the identity of the person without even looking at it—unbeknownst to him, it was the person he hated so much, Yu Wanrou.
It raised its head, bared its teeth at Yu Wanrou, and waved its claws threateningly.
But soon, it discovered that there was not only Yu Wanrou, but also many other people, including those from the Xuyang Sect, as well as the national master and his subordinates.
At this time, they all looked at it coldly.
Xiaotuanzi's fat and round body trembled.
It could feel that nearly one-third of its power had returned. Although it still couldn't transform and couldn't cause harm to these people, it might still be possible to escape.
Before that, he secretly took out an invisible transmission note from the storage ring, put a drop of his own blood on it, and sent a message to his parents far away in the sect.
I hope my parents can arrive before it is caught... Xiaotuanzi thought tremblingly.
But it feels that this hope is too slim.
