Even for her, the King of Yunhai City, this was the first time she saw these plants.
It was getting dark every day. Wherever plants were needed, there were usually black vines. Perhaps he remembered it wrongly.
Ling'er stretched out her hand, wanting to pick a branch for Di Shitian as a souvenir, but before her hand touched the stems and leaves of the plant, she felt something pricked her fiercely, and she pulled her hand back.
"What's wrong?" Di Shitian immediately grabbed Ling'er's hand and checked it. He saw a small red dot the size of a pinhole on the index finger of her right hand. "You are injured!"
Her expression was tense, as if the sky was about to fall, and her beautiful almond-shaped eyes were filled with deep heartache.
"Damn it!" he said viciously, then chopped at the black plants with his palm.
"Tiantian, don't." Before Emperor Shitian could attack, he was stopped by Ling'er. "I'm fine, I was just pricked, it's nothing, don't worry so much." Ling'er said, smiling and shaking her head, and raised the injured finger, shaking it in front of Emperor Shitian's eyes, indicating that she was really fine.
"You deserve to die for daring to hurt you!" Emperor Shitian did not move his hands, but the Tianlong sword flew out into the air and directly cut off the vine that had just hurt Ling'er.
"..." Tiantian said it was no big deal, really. Although Ling'er thought so, she felt sweet in her heart. As long as it was related to her, no matter how small it was, it was a big deal for Emperor Shitian.
In a nutshell, anyone who hurts her will not be forgiven.
This is Emperor Shi Tian, a domineering king, and she, Xia Ling'er, is protecting him!
However, Ling'er always felt something was wrong, because...
The cut vines suddenly came alive and connected again. Then, at the intersection of the vines, a black petal appeared. The petal slowly opened, and then black liquid spurted out from the petal.
"Be careful every day!"
Emperor Shitian was facing Ling'er, but was facing the black vines, so when Ling'er noticed it, she immediately pulled Emperor Shitian aside, then swung her right hand, and the purple spiritual power immediately formed a protective shield. After the black liquid came into contact with the protective shield, it made a "squeaking" sound.
"These liquids are highly corrosive!" You can tell from the sound.
It's no wonder that the existence of other plants has probably been corroded by these black liquids. As for those towering trees, either because they are also extraordinary and can compete with these vines, or because these vines need to rely on them to climb higher, so they are kept.
But what on earth are these black vines that have such self-defense capabilities? She knew that she couldn't let Emperor Shitian cut them. As expected, she provoked a troublemaker.
"Tiantian, be careful. Don't let the black liquid touch your body, otherwise you will be corroded."
The spiritual power shield can make a corrosive sound when it encounters it, which shows how high its corrosive power is. Now, what should I do
She was lucky enough to have spiritual power protecting her body, but Di Shitian was a mortal body after all. If she didn't get away quickly, the situation would be very bad.
Just as Ling'er was worried, Di Shitian, who was pulled behind Ling'er, suddenly rushed out of the protective shield and faced the black liquid.
Now, Ling'er was panicking!
"Tiantian!" Damn it, what does he want to do, rushing out like this!
"Don't worry about me!" Emperor Shitian knew that Ling'er must be worried, so he said this in a domineering manner, and then took out the Lingtian Sword again. However, his target was not the black liquid or the black vines, but the tree that was entangled.
The black brocade and gold silk python robe fluttered in the wind as Emperor Shi Tian jumped up, and his silver hair swayed wantonly, like a king coming to the world. For a moment, the oppressive feeling made the black vines tremble slightly. Ling Tian raised his sword high and swung it down towards the tree.
Suddenly, the direction of the black liquid changed and all went towards Emperor Shi Tian.
This phenomenon also caught Ling'er's attention. Unexpectedly, Tiantian was so smart that he could find the weak spot of these black vines. If it wasn't a weak spot, these liquids wouldn't all be directed at Emperor Shitian alone.
Emperor Shitian sensed the danger on his side and immediately turned his blade back to block the liquid. At this moment, a purple flower flew towards the tree trunk. It was too late for the black liquid to cover it. The purple flower fell and the tree trunk immediately broke into pieces. The black vines that were so arrogant just now withered rapidly like eggplants hit by frost...
Seeing this scene, Ling'er's heart was finally relieved. After seeing this scene, the black vines on other tree trunks quickly wrapped around the tree trunks more tightly. They were afraid that they would be torn into pieces by a flower like this tree, which was a horrible sight.
"Anyone who hurts her will die!" Emperor Shitian held the Lingtian Sword in his palm, looking ahead with empty and aimless eyes, and spoke with absolute certainty.
This is not just a boast, but a piece of advice. Advice to all the spiritual creatures in this forest.
And he will definitely do it!
"Hahaha, this brother is really courageous." At this moment, an old man's voice was heard. Then, rustling footsteps came towards their location.
There were three people in the group, an elderly man with gray beard, a middle-aged man in gray clothes who looked to be in his thirties or forties, and a young man in blue clothes.
The old man walked in front, followed closely by the middle-aged man and the young man in blue.
As the old man spoke, he walked towards Di Shi Tian and the others, "I am an elder of the Hua family. I am here with the younger generation for some training. I passed by here and witnessed the wisdom of the young master. I admire it very much. Therefore, I would like to come over and get to know you two. Do you mind?" The old man who claimed to be the elder of the Hua family said with a smile on his face. He looked very kind.
Di Shitian has a cold personality. It is almost impossible to get him to reply. Ling'er has been with him for so long, how could she not know Di Shitian's temper. Therefore, she did not expect Di Shitian to agree with her, so she immediately stepped forward and replied with a smile: "It turns out that you are the elder and the young master of the Hua family. I have heard of your great name for a long time. I am so sorry for your disrespect. I am Lingxia, and this is my fiancé. I entered this place by mistake and did not know the rules, so what happened just now happened. This Sunset Forest seems to be extremely dangerous. If you want to get out, you have to rely on the elder and the young master. I am honored to have the opportunity to meet the people of the Hua family. Why should I mind? The elder's words are really embarrassing for me and my fiancé."
Ling'er bowed her hands to show politeness, and her words gave the Hua family enough face. The Hua family was very fond of flattery. So Ling'er's words made the Hua family elders very satisfied. They thought: This little girl is quite sensible and knows that it is good to be with them.
He stretched out his hand and stroked his gray beard with satisfaction. "Since this young lady has said so, if I cannot send you out of this Sunset Forest safely, I am afraid that I will have no place to put my face in the future. However, I still have some things to deal with, so it will take some time. If the young lady and the young master do not mind, you can go with me. After I finish my business, I will take you out."
"Okay, then I'll have to trouble Elder Hua."
What you think is what you get. Originally, I had said that I would wait until I found out the mystery of the Sunset Forest and then go out and find a way to enter the Hua family. I never expected that I would end up here right at their doorstep.
If you are lucky, even a stone you pick up can turn into gold!
Just like that, Ling'er and the Hua family's group walked together into the depths of the Sunset Forest.
Along the way, they talked as they walked, and learned that the middle-aged man was the younger brother of the head of the Hua family, Hua Bingnian, and the young man in blue was Hua Bingnian's son, Hua Qianshu. As for the purpose of their trip, they just mentioned it briefly as training. But from their expressions, it is not difficult to see that their purpose of coming to Sunset Forest is not so simple. Moreover, nine times out of ten, it is related to Leng Qing's disappearance.
However, since we are already traveling together, there is no need to think too much about these issues. Anyway, as long as we follow them, we will definitely find clues.
The purpose of the elders of the Hua family inviting them to join them is also worth thinking about. Ling'er is not stupid enough to think that he is just doing it out of kindness. (To be continued)
