"You're right!" Zhang Yuan walked up from the mountain: "I also want to ask, why are you afraid of that demon girl? The demon girl has obviously been severely injured. Just now, we had to adjust our breath several times to reinforce Wang Huan. Why should we? Afraid of her?"
Zhang Yuan walked to Tao Xiaoyao with his hands behind his back: "Boss Ruan doesn't want to take action, he is just afraid of causing damage to us. Now that the demon girl is at the end of her strength, what else do we have to fear? How about I take the lead?"
While Tao Xiaoyao was silent for a while, Xue Yulu quickly asked: "What does Teacher Ruan mean?"
Zhang Yuan sneered: "He hasn't come up yet, hasn't he already made his attitude clear?"
When Zhang Yuan looked at Tao Xiaoyao, he saw her nodding slightly, and then Zhang Yuan sneered and flew towards us.
I pushed back Si Ruo, held the long knife in front of my chest with both hands, took a few steps with both feet, and went straight to Zhang Yuan's direction to attack him.
Until now, I can't tell whether the Si Ruo next to me is real or fake, but I can no longer leave her to Zhang Yuan and let Zhang Yuan test her authenticity.
When Si Ruo stood next to me, he made me think about many things.
My dad has told me before: Regret can have both long and short forms. Some regrets just pass by in a flash, especially the regrets before death. Once you close your eyes, nothing will be left. But the feeling of wanting to die but not being able to die, wanting to live but always regretting it, is the most tormenting thing. No matter how you cultivate your mind or cultivate your character, the regret that cannot be erased is the evil spirit that tortures people. , will always be entangled with you.
In the government city, I had already been pregnant with Si Ruo once, and that time, I almost regretted it for the rest of my life. Once again, even if I know that Si Ruo next to me may give me a fatal knife at any time, I will wait until the blade pierces my heart before I regret it.
In just a few seconds, the long knife in my hand collided with Zhang Yuan's weapon in the air. The two of us were knocked back half a step by the huge force of the weapon. Zhang Yuan laughed and said: "What? The twin swords of gods and ghosts are not even half as strong as I am, so don’t leave today.”
Everyone in the martial arts world has a point in close combat. The first thing you look at is the opponent's eyes. A lot of information will be revealed in the opponent's eyes. Even if the opponent's emotions are fleeting in his eyes, you can feel that the opponent is timid. He retreated, but his eyes still looked fierce.
When Zhang Yuan looked at me with bloodshot eyes, my upturned pupils immediately met his eyes. When Zhang Yuan and I stared, it was as if we were seeing a tiger rushing in front of him. As his body trembled violently, his hands unconsciously moved in front of his eyes.
Just in the blink of an eye, the thunder transformed by my blade fell from the air, splitting Zhang Yuan in half alive. I stood between the two corpses, pointing the long knife at Tao Xiaoyao: "Who else is there?" Come!"
Tao Xiaoyao's face turned slightly pale, and Xue Yulu behind her had long been frightened to the point of being speechless.
Ruan Dalong came from a distance and couldn't help but sigh: "Wang Huan, you shouldn't kill people. Do you know that killing Zhang Yuan is tantamount to betraying the detective hand? Especially to protect people in the devil's way, you..."
I raised the long knife in my hand and said coldly: "Don't talk to me about the magic door or the magic way. I only know that Si Ruo is my friend, and I will kill anyone who wants to touch her. You should be lucky that you are also a magic explorer." , Otherwise, I will send you to meet Zhang Yuan immediately."
Ruan Dalong looked at me for a long time before sighing helplessly: "Wang Huan, I don't want to say anything more to you. From now on, let's do our own thing and do our own thing!"
Ruan Dalong turned to Tao Xiaoyao again: "Xiaoyao, let's get together! I can't take care of so many people by myself."
Tao Xiaoyao nodded and turned around to leave. Not long after, they sent someone to send Cheng Xiaoqi back. They didn't believe that Cheng Xiaoqi had been with us.
Si Ruo comforted Cheng Xiaoqi for a few words and then sat next to me and said quietly: "You have been guarding against me since you came back from the sea, right?"
"I..." I hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Yes."
Si Ruo is very smart and is used to the days of intrigues with the demon sect. I know that my subtle movements cannot be hidden from Si Ruo's eyes. Instead of being secretive, it is better to tell the truth.
Sometimes, when two smart people meet together, the so-called game is playing a clear game. Everyone knows what the other person is thinking and what he will do. The only difference is who has better luck, because when you know a person well, the outcome is determined by God.
I told the story of my encounter with that woman exactly as it was, and Si Ruo couldn't help but have a flash of loneliness in his eyes: "If it were me, I would be suspicious. Rest! Let's wait until dawn."
Si Ruo, what's going on
In the past, she would tell me clearly no matter what she encountered, and she never hid anything from me about her inner thoughts. We talked about everything!
However, Si Ruo's calmness this time made me feel that she was a little distant from me.
At that moment, I wanted to grab her and ask her what happened. But in the end, I still suppressed this thought. The Exploring Hand and the Demon Sect, our identity should have a kind of alienation, right? Perhaps, from the first time I doubted Si Ruo in the government city, we will never be able to go back to the past.
I seemed to be leaning against the tree with my eyes closed, but I didn't close my eyes all night long. Si Ruo was probably the same. Her breathing rate was always changing, which is not the case for a sleeping person. Maybe, she can no longer sleep peacefully beside me? Because she couldn't find the feeling of being protected like before.
I spent the night in random thoughts, and it wasn't until dawn that I took Si Ruo to the top of the mountain.
I chose to go up the mountain not because I completely believed what the stone tablet said, but because I had a reason to go up the mountain. There was no fresh water and no food at the bottom of the mountain. There was only an elusive wooden boat. If we continued to survive along the coast, sooner or later we would be trapped alive at the foot of the mountain. , can only go up the mountain to find a glimmer of hope.
Before I walked far, I saw Ruan Dalong and the others standing in front of a piece of grass, discussing something in a low voice. When I looked along the direction of the hillside, I couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Last night, the dragon turtle that chased us all the way to the sky and into the ground was found dead in a grassy field on the hillside. All the flesh and blood of the dragon turtle's body was gone, and not even its bones were left. , only an empty turtle shell lay flat on the grass.
I deliberately bent down and took a look inside the turtle shell, but what I saw was the light coming from the opposite side of the turtle shell.
Cold sweat suddenly flowed from my head. Even if that dragon turtle was not a prehistoric alien species, it could at least be the king of the sea, but it was completely drained of flesh and blood in just one night. I don't know what exactly killed the dragon turtle? However, I know that the deadly killer must be hiding in the grass.
I whispered to myself: "Don't walk where the grass is and the sky is thin. Are you talking about this place?"
Si Ruo whispered: "Do you believe that woman's words? But where is the line of sky she said?"
I looked around for a long time before I saw a huge boulder with a crack in the middle on the edge of the grass. That is what people often call "a line of sky", because when walking among the cracks of the boulder, there is only a crack in the sky, and it is right in front of the rock. It is the place where the weeds are the thinnest. There is a bare path between the rocks, not even a blade of grass can be seen.
I whispered: "Look over there, if you go faster you should be able to jump over."
Before I finished my words, I heard Xue Yulu angrily scolded: "Wang Huan, you disappoint me so much. I can understand that you are protecting Si Ruo. You just said clearly, 'Don't take advantage of the grass.' Now you say you can." What do you mean by jumping over the grass?”
I suddenly said angrily: "I said mine, you go your way, I didn't force you to move forward with a knife, why are you screaming?"
Tao Xiaoyao raised her hand to stop Xue Yulu: "Don't argue with him. I still say the same thing. Someone needs to explore the way ahead. Who among us will go through?"
The male disciple hesitated for a while and then said: "Let's draw lots! This is more fair. After all, it's a life-threatening matter..."
"You go and draw lots..." Before Tao Xiaoyao finished speaking, Chen Xiao shouted: "Why are you drawing lots? Don't you keep saying that you want to protect our safety? Why are you asking us to draw lots now?"
As Chen Xiao spoke, he pointed towards us: "You keep saying that Wang Huan and the others are evil heretics, and that their words cannot be trusted. But Wang Huan was able to rush out to save people, and did not let Cheng Xiaoqi go over to draw lots. You are worse than demons and heretics!"
"Fart!" Xue Yulu roared angrily: "Didn't you see that Wang Huan threw people to the dragon turtle in order to survive?"
"You're the one who farted!" Chen Xiao yelled tit-for-tat: "Don't think I didn't see it. It was the man named Zhang Yuan who deliberately let go of Dragon Turtle and let him attack Wang Huan. Now you turn around and accuse Wang Huan, just Don’t you feel blushing?”
Xue Yulu said coldly: "Since you believe in Wang Huan so much, why don't you go and follow him? No one will leave you here."
"Just leave, it's better than being killed by you here." After Chen Xiao said this, he strode towards me.
I frowned immediately, and a bad feeling suddenly came into my heart.
However, Xue Yulu hugged her shoulders and sneered: "Whoever wants to go there, let's go together! We don't keep those ignorant people here."
Immediately half the people on the other side came over to us.
Si Ruo stepped out from my side, faced Xue Yulu and sneered: "You have planned this a long time ago, right? What a decent family, what a group of righteous knights. You don't want to bring a bunch of burdens, and you don't want to give up. Is it right for you to come up with such a way to assign people to our side despite the reputation of abandoning innocent people?"
Si Ruo suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Xue Yulu: "Your show is so fake, I feel sick just watching it."
