Chapter 45: A Glimmer of Hope

The Soul Eater Bird rushed into a deep pit like a flood, frantically impacting every member of the adventure group, and now although everyone is not in danger for the time being, but no one has the strength to help others in a hurry, and the black-robed man appeared beside Huo Yunyan with a strange scream, and no one expected this kind of thing to happen.

Luna was most shocked, this black-robed man actually saw through his intentions, although the surrounding environment was noisy, and the sound was chaotic, he couldn't distinguish anything clearly, but with a trace of discordant calm sound in this extreme chaos, he judged the position of this black-robed man in mid-air, and originally expected an arrow to hit the other party to save the day, but he didn't expect it...... This turned out to be a trap!

Suddenly, it occurred to him that this black-robed man could use the Soul Eater Bird as his eyes, and in the days that the adventure group had approached this place, he was afraid that he had already obtained a lot of information about the adventure group, so naturally, ...... It also includes some of its own abilities.

"Hahaha!"

The black-robed man smirked, and his big hands were like dry bones, and he grabbed the nearest snow, "Come with me!"

Xue stood there, without the slightest expression on her face from beginning to end.

In an instant, a dazzling golden glow surged out of the dark forest.

Xue didn't move, his eyes kept looking ahead, and he looked in the direction where the black-robed man appeared, and a pair of eyes dissipated in an instant, and a little golden light came out of his eyes, and a net-like cover covered the black-robed man who suddenly appeared.

I wanted to attack suddenly, but I retreated.

The hand was already about to grab in front of the girl, and the black-robed man felt a palpitation in his heart, and he knew that this girl had a strange blood from the attack on the Holy Spirit Temple that day, and only one stared at this adventure group, but he had never seen this girl have any strange reactions, and his eyes were ......

The sound of a string of iron cables taut was heard.

The black-robed man's hand was already about to wipe the corner of the snow's clothes, and the black throne suddenly shook, and he forcibly dragged the black-robed man's body and deceived him.

The Soul Eater Bird was suddenly in chaos, the Soul Eater Bird that was pulling the throne hissed and howled, its wings fought, and it was dragged to watch the crazy flight, and the throne was like a doll pulled by countless silk threads for a while, writhing and shaking in mid-air.

Damn it!!

The black-robed man was taken aback, he didn't expect the Soul Eater Bird to have an accident at this time, and he was about to urge the gem on the cane, but he suddenly found a pair of shining black eyes in front of him!

Although he didn't have time to react at the first time, the black-robed man's hand missed Xue's side, and Tianxian had already stopped in front of Xue, a layer of blood surged up on his body, and his eyes were shining, staring directly at the black-robed man.

Without waiting for the other party's reaction, Tian Xian lightning made a move, grabbed the wrist of the black-robed man who had not yet retracted, and shook it back directly.

"Click!"

The thin arm of the bone was twisted off the joint, and the black-robed man howled in pain, and his body was dragged out of the throne by Tianxian and fell towards the back of the fiery cloud.

Looking at the faces that bumped into, it was polite to be idle.

With an angry shout, the powerful Tianxian dragged his red fist and smashed it into the face of the black-robed man.

The black-robed man who was punched didn't snort, his face was smashed a few points, the hood on his head flew out, and his body retreated.

Although the light in the forest was dim, at close range, Tian Xian still saw the face of the black-robed man in an instant, and he couldn't help but be shocked for a moment in his heart, this black-robed man only had half of his face!

Half of his face was hideous, but the other half seemed to have been completely burned by the flames, leaving only a distorted eye and a terrifying face full of twisted scars.

The shock in his heart was a mistake, and Tian Xian knew in his heart that the other party would disappear again immediately when he returned to the group of soul eaters, and the silver crystal silk in his hand had already disappeared like a shadow, and the filament shook and had already wrapped around the other party's arm!

See where you're running this time?

The blood-colored light lit up in an instant.

Tian Xianman thought that he could capture the other party this time, but he didn't expect that the gem on the black-robed man's cane suddenly burst out with a layer of blood light at this moment, and the snow snorted lightly, as if he had been hit by something, and suddenly took a step back under his feet, and the unnatural blood on his white face surged up quickly.

The chaotic chirping of the Soul Eater Bird stopped instantly, and with a bang, it was like a large mass of twisted monsters rushing into the air.

Tian Xian suddenly felt a huge force in his hand, and the body of the black-robed man suddenly shrank back, and the silver crystal silk tensed at this moment, and he actually wanted to drag himself to the sky.

The iron chains trembled, and they were already very clear in the sharp chirping of the birds, and the eyes of Tian Xian, who felt the huge force pulling his body, suddenly shrank sharply, and his face was extremely stunned.

The black throne had already disappeared into the flock of soul eaters, and the black-robed man was hanging in the air, the soul eater birds were flying wildly around him, and behind him, more than ten iron chains connected his body, were dragging him into the air fiercely!

Rope wearing body?

In a moment of astonishment, Tianxian had been dragged into the air by a huge force.

A bright sword light struck! The extremely tough silver crystal silk was cut off with a "bang", and Luna was already standing in front of Tian Xian with a scimitar in her hand.

The Soul Eater screamed wildly, half of the silver crystal filament was dragged into the air, and the black-robed man disappeared into the group of Soul Eater Birds in an instant.

"Want to escape!?"

Luna's emerald green eyes, which had been teased by the enemy once, were full of angry fire, her scimitar was sheathed, and the light flew and condensed, and in an instant, a light bow was in her hand, and the light arrow was aimed in the air.

This time the enemy appeared in front of her, and Luna was 100% sure that she would never let the opponent dodge the attack again.

The red light flashed again in the sky, and the forest was suddenly completely overwhelmed by the crazy chirping of the birds.

Screaming sharply, the soul-eating birds that filled the forest flew into the air, all of them swooped into the sky above Luna, the corners of Luna's eyes trembled, but she found that she hadn't made a move, and there were already mountain-thick soul-eating birds above her head, and the black-robed man was completely blocked behind, even if he could know where the other party was, but his arrow might not be able to pass through the barrier made of so many soul-eating birds.

It was just a little time to obstruct it, and Luna already sighed in her heart, the black-robed man had fled away......

The Soul Eater crushed on top of Luna's head like a huge thick wall, and when the black-robed man fled, it exploded with a roar and exploded, converging into a black torrent that frantically retreated into the depths of the forest.

When I came, I was caught off guard, but when I went, I was in a hurry, and in the blink of an eye, countless soul-eating birds disappeared cleanly, and the blood-colored eyes of the stars swam in the forest, and they were soon gone.

Everyone in the adventure group finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the Soul Eater disappear.

"Who's hurt!Treat it immediately, it's completely finished if it's infected with rotten blood!" Hank quickly walked up to Huoyun Eye with his big sword, "Luna, how's it going?"

Luna shook her head helplessly, her hands fell to her waist, and the light bow immediately turned into pieces and reattached to her soft figure, "Fleeing away, it seems frightened, but he knows where we are......"

Luna glanced at the deep forest around her, "There must still be a Soul Eater here as his eyes, he will be back at any time, it looks like we are in trouble." ”

Hank frowned, "This guy is indeed in trouble, we will soon encounter other forces, in that case......"

"Sister Luna!!" suddenly exclaimed.

Everyone immediately turned around, but saw that Tianxian looked panicked, and ran to Luna with Xue in his arms, and Xue's thin body leaned on Tianxian's arms, and he had already fainted.

She ...... She fainted suddenly!" Tianxian's face was a little paleβ€”the pulse of the snow was already faint, and the opportunity was no longer felt.

Quickly taking a look at Snow's whole body, seeing that there were no wounds, Luna frowned slightly, "Put her down and let me see!"

The situation was chaotic just now, but fortunately, everyone was not injured, seeing the snow falling, everyone gathered around Huoyunyan, although this girl was very indifferent, and she didn't even take the initiative to say a word to anyone, but everyone was still very nervous about her situation, and the void was haunted, this girl who was like a cursed girl lived alone in the forest until now, it was really not easy.

"The power is overdrawn ......"

Luna, whose eyes were flashing with green, carefully checked the situation of the snow, and finally said with a rather stern face, "The chaos of the Soul Eater Bird just now, she must have done it, but those Soul Eater Birds are controlled by the secret treasure of the Blood Alliance, and she is equivalent to directly confronting that secret treasure, although it is an instant, but with her current strength, it ......"

"Then how do you make her recover?" Tian Xian looked at Xue's unnaturally flushed face, and his heart became anxious.

"I don't know, not even ...... I don't know if I can restore it. ”

Tianxian was taken aback, "What...... I don't know if I can recover it?"

"Not only did she expend almost all of her strength, but she was counterattacked with great strength, and her weakness and injuries threatened her, I don't know ......"

"What then?" interrupted Luna, asking anxiously.

"I can only wait. Luna sighed and shook her head, "For the problems caused by the Ethereals...... Those of us who don't even feel that kind of power can't do anything. ”

"There's no way!?" Tianxian looked at Luna in shock, and then at everyone in the party, but everyone was a little helpless.

"But......" Tian Xian was a little disbelieving, "wasn't the original moth driven away!?

Luna sighed, "Little ghost, this time is different, the moths affect a lot of people, and they are closely connected to our world, so I can use something rare like the Dream Eater to get rid of the moths, but this time, ...... I can't do anything on my own, and I'm running out of syrup. ”

"Uncle Fang!" Tian Xian was a little flustered.

Fang Liang also shook his head, "Most of my treatment is physical, but she is actually not injured now, this is ......"

"Could it be...... Can only look at it like this?" Tianxian suddenly felt a little empty in his heart, this girl who followed him to dig treasures and liked shiny things, but would give them to herself, could she just be left to fend for herself?

Hank reached over and gently rubbed his head a few times, "Boy, there are some things we can't do about it, but ...... You can pray for her that since she can live alone in the forest for more than a year, the gods will not abandon her. ”

...... of the gods

How could those things be believed, if there was such a thing, how could they be in this hellish place? How could such a girl have such an unfortunate fate?

Taking a breath, Tianxian's eyes brightened again, "I see! I'll look at her, but...... I'd like to borrow a few things from everyone!"

......

It is dangerous to stay in a certain place in the Silent Forest for too long, and the adventure group is on the road again, still heading towards the destination, everyone is somewhat helpless, no one has a good way to deal with the snow situation, which makes the atmosphere of the adventure group a little depressing, and everyone is also a little strange, because the behavior of Tian Xian is starting to be strange.

"What the hell are you going to do, little ghost?" Luna handed a branch to Tian Xian, "This is the branch that the tree spirits have inhabited, and if you take any more, it will annoy them." ”

Tian Xian just nodded, put the branch beside him, held the knife borrowed from Fang Liang in his hand, and cut the branch in his hand very seriously.

"What is this?" Luna picked something from the corner of her clothes, a very thin wooden needle, so thin that it was a little hard to see in the forest, and there were a few of these sticks stuck in the corner of her clothes, all of which had just been cut.

"Hmm...... You can try!" Tian Xian looked at the sharpened wooden needle in his hand and took the one in Luna's hand.

"What the hell do you want, little ghost?"

Tian Xian didn't answer, and came directly to Gu Li's eyes, Gu Li has been very silent, even when the soul eater attacked before, she didn't say a word, although her injuries recovered, but the adventure group didn't expect her to participate in the pathfinding and defense work, so they let her stay on the back of Huoyunyan.

"Guli, I beg you for one thing!"

Gu Li was immediately stunned, this boy was very resistant to his attitude, and now he actually came to beg him, and for the first time, he called his own name, not 'stinky woman' or something like that.

"What's the matter?" Gu Li's eyes were full of vigilance, since she was bitten by Huo Yunyan, Gu Li felt that the cruelty of the boy in front of her was not inferior to her at all.

"Lend me your injured foot. ”

"What?" Gu Li's eyes jumped, "What do you mean?"

"I don't beg you in vain, I can give you back this stigma!" Tian Xian took out the heptagonal spar.

Everyone who heard this was shocked, it was a high-grade stigma of spiritual quality, a priceless treasure!

Tian Xian frowned and said: "Your stigma is still there, if you get this stigma back, I don't think it will be a problem for you to go back to the Holy Spirit Temple, but you have to lend me your feet! Don't move when I do anything, I won't hurt you." ”

Gu Li's eyes flashed, "You really ...... Will you give me that stigmata? If that's the case, there's nothing wrong with me giving you this foot, even if I sell her, I'll be able to ......."

"Deal!" Tian Xian didn't wait for Gu Li to finish speaking, he squatted down directly and quickly took off Gu Li's shoes.

"You ......" Gu Li was ashamed and angry, how could she think that this little ghost would do it without waiting for him to finish.

"Something for you!" Tian Xian threw the stigma into Gu Li's arms without hesitation.

Gu Li was stunned for a moment, her eyes widened, this kid really handed over this holy stigma to herself!

Spiritual stigmata is the dream of countless people, this spiritual high-level stigmata out of the forest can definitely attract a bloody storm, even a strong person like General Gunn has never exposed that he has such a high-level stigmata, once it attracts competitors, it will be a very troublesome thing.

This boy obviously has an unparalleled fanaticism for stigmata, how could he ......

Gu Li instinctively thought that the other party had probably planned to kill herself and then snatch back the stigma, and when this thought flashed through her mind, she suddenly felt a slight pain in her feet.

Looking at his feet, Gu Li's heart was cold, when he was shocked just now, his boots and socks had been thrown away, the boy looked at his feet, and was princturing a wooden needle near his ankle, his fingers gently twisting the wooden needle, with a focused face.

"What are you doing?" said Gu Li, who shrank in shock.

Tian Xian grabbed Gu Li's ankle, "Don't move! Your foot is mine now!"

Gu Li was stunned for a moment, looked at the heptagonal spar in his hand, and then looked at the look of concentration in the boy's eyes, especially the thin wooden needle......

Gu Li was terrified, as a torturer, she had used countless torture instruments and torture methods, but what this child was doing was unheard of.

Empirically, the more ordinary and ordinary something is, the more unintended and frightening it is when it is used......

Staring at the wooden needle, Gu Li's eyes shrank...... The boy slowly twisted the wooden needle, princing his ankle numbly, but there seemed to be a cool air running down the wooden needle into his body, making him uncomfortable.

Without the slightest doubt, the wound on the shoulder that had been bitten by the fire cloud made Gu Li think that Tianxian must be doing something terrible on herself,

"Hmph......! I've seen a lot!" Gu Li suddenly pursed her mouth, "I ...... when I was in the West Temple"

"Shut up!" Tian Xian interrupted Gu Li, "You don't know what I'm doing, just be quiet when you take the stigma, if I get the needle in the wrong place, don't blame me!"

Gu Li was stunned, and the child's tone hardened, and he seemed to be very sure that he was just pretending.

"How do you feel?" asked Tian Xian suddenly.

"What...... How does it feel?" Gu Li was a little dazed by Tian Xian's question.

Tianxian nodded, "It's good that I don't feel it, although I haven't tried it, but the blood veins and tendons should be similar to the original person, so ...... Replace the next acupuncture point!"

"What...... What acupuncture points are you talking about?" Gu Li looked at the boy in disbelief and picked up another needle

"Your foot has just been injured, although it is healed, but it will be more sensitive to some senses than the rest of the body, and I don't have other materials, but fortunately this wood is very good, hard and alive. "Tian Xian seems to be cheering himself up," so ...... It should be fine. ”

The wooden needle was pierced in the instep of Guli's foot......

Soon, a cold sweat broke out on Gu Li's head, from the instep to the ankle, more than a dozen wooden needles pierced there, which looked particularly weird, and what was particularly disturbing was that the vicious child looked at his feet very intently, twisting the wooden needles from time to time, and the numbness and itching on his feet were unbearable, and he would always ask himself how he felt, and what he really thought was clear at a glance.

And the most unbearable thing is that until now, I haven't felt anything wrong, this feeling of being swallowed up by something terrible at any time, but not knowing what will happen is simply maddening.

"Next, it's going to be a little warm. Tian Xian pricked another wooden needle.

Gu Li's body shook, and the wooden needles on her entire foot actually warmed up all of a sudden, as if a strange flow of heat was injected into her feet, which led to her own blood flow speeding up, and the soles of her feet were warm...... Unexpectedly, it was very comfortable......

"How does it feel?"

Gu Li was stunned and couldn't answer.

"Looks good!" Tian Xian nodded, quickly pulled out all the needles, and sat down again to cut the branches.

Everyone looked at Tian Xian's strange behavior, consciously or unconsciously, and no one could figure out what the boy was doing, and after a while, Tian Xian came to Xue with a freshly sharpened thin wooden needle.

"You'd better sleep obediently until I'm done, I'm afraid a girl doesn't like to see this......

Everyone was extremely stunned, and Tianxian gently brushed away Xue's long misty golden hair, and stabbed a wooden needle on her head.

Luna almost screamed, but her eyes widened knowing that she wouldn't hurt the snow, and she didn't like to be disturbed by others.

Gu Li was also shocked, this kid ...... I actually went to prick the girl with a needle again, this time on the head!

After a while, Xue's head was covered with wooden needles, and Tianxian's little face was tense and full of beads of sweat.

"You...... What the hell are you doing?" Gu Li held back a few times, but after moving her feet a few times, and feeling that the sluggishness after the injury had obviously subsided a little, she still couldn't help but come up and ask.

"Save people!" Tian Xian replied simply, and then glared at Gu Li, obviously asking her to be quiet.

"Save people...... Just now, you were using me as an experiment?"

"Hmm. Hearing this, Tian Xian had to answer again, "Although this is not in line with medical ethics, it is a pity that I am a black doctor and only talk about the benefits of success or failure, so I gave you that stigma." ”

Gu Li couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly, "You just stabbed my foot a few times, and you gave me this, you really want the stigma, right?

"Stigmata......" Tianxian muttered to himself, "I do...... But there is always something more important than stigma. ”

"She?"

"She saved me...... And if you want to live, even if you know that there is no way out of the forest, you still want to leave this ...... For those who are desperate to be strong and survive...... I can't leave it alone, even if there is only a glimmer of hope!"

The forest was as dark as night, and Gu Li looked at the little boy in front of her in a little daze, the child sat there, staring intently at the wooden needles on the girl's head, and there seemed to be a flash of fire in his eyes.

"Cornered...... Gu Li sighed softly.

"If you're idle, help me make some wooden needles, you're asking the torturer, right? You must be familiar with torture instruments, this kind of wooden needles can't be difficult for you, right?"

"Do you want more?" Gu Li saw that many wooden needles had been pierced on her head.

"It's not enough!"

Done, there will be no chapters
