Chapter 675: Planning
Ling never thought that he, who had been tricked by fate, would have the opportunity to comfort the boy who seemed to be covered by the sky and didn't worry about anything.
At this moment of holding Tianxian, she suddenly felt that the distance between the boy who walked in front and even flew in the sky was closer to herself, he was so real, in his arms, not any phantom nor any abstract concept, but a teenager who was held in his arms.
It turned out that he was just a child and needed to be comforted, look at how scared he was, and now he didn't even dare to raise his head, Ling thought, and hugged his arms safely.
Tianxian naturally hugged Ling tightly.
"I didn't expect you to look skinny, but you're actually plump. After a while, Tian Xian suddenly said.
What does the bone sense mean, Ling didn't understand it very much, but he completely understood the words later, Ling moved his hands down slightly, and wrapped them around Tian Xian's neck.
"Are you happy?" Ling asked with a smile, "As your future wife, I think this seems good." β
Tianxian raised his head with difficulty, "Uh...... Yes, indeed, but ......"
"It's good to be happy. Ling's smile was still the same, "Then now enjoy the warm embrace of your fiancΓ©e." β
"No, I mean...... Can you, tap ...... My neck is going to break. β
"Oh? I didn't hear what you said, did you want me to push harder......? I'll satisfy you!" Ling's eyes were cold.
Tian Xian felt that he had already seen the tip of Lord Yama's nose, but Ling felt that this might not be kind enough, and let go of himself at the critical moment.
Ling looked at Tian Xian, who was panting for breath, with a condescending gaze, as if to declare: This is the price you pay for molesting me.
Tianxian felt very innocent, but for the sake of his life, he hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I'm ...... Not intentionally. β
Ling's eyebrows raised slightly. "Why apologize? I'm your fiancΓ©e, you're going to be my husband, and my whole being will be yours. β
"Uh...... So?" The strange Tianxian in his heart leaned forward, but the cold light in Ling's eyes obviously said: If you dare to touch me, you will definitely make you pay.
"Ahaha, it was just an accident, I'll pay more attention in the future. Even if I try to tease others, I won't ......."
Ling's face changed slightly, "No!
"I'm not done yet!"
"That's not going to work! I'm your fiancΓ©e, why do you have to go to another woman, Manchu, your filthy **. β
Tian Xian: "............"
"I can let you touch my hand. Ling Dafang stretched out his hand.
Tian Xian wanted to cry without tears, held Ling's little hand and said, "Thank you for your hospitality, I will definitely remember this kindness ......"
Ling quietly shook Tianxian's hand.
This small action made Tianxian slightly stunned.
Holding Tianxian's hand, Ling's eyes drooped, "The way I look must give you a headache, right?" It's a pity...... I don't really know how to deal with this relationship, no one has ever taught me, and I have never seen it. β
Ling gripped Tianxian's hand very hard. As if he was afraid that Tianxian would suddenly let go of her: "I'm very happy, I'm glad that you can say that you like me, even if it...... I'm such an unlikable woman that I don't know what I should say or do now, but ......"
Biting his lower lip, Ling took a deep breath, "Thank you!"
Tian Xian looked at Ling, whose expression had become much stiffer. couldn't help but smile, it turned out that everything just now was because she didn't know what to do.
"You're welcome. "Squeeze Ling's soft palm hard. Tianxian said softly: "As your future husband, I will bear everything for you, you are not likable, you don't know how to face me, you don't know what to do, it doesn't matter." You have nothing to worry about with me. β
Ling raised his gaze, and something shiny began to appear in his eyes, "At the beginning, I really decided to be your wife with a very reasonable judgment, but now...... I seemed to need to go out of my way to learn how to be a wife. β
"It's an honor!"
"That'...... Then you. You...... What kind of wife do you like?" Ling asked, feeling that he had mustered up the courage of a lifetime.
"I like the wife who guards the tower. Tian Xian replied quickly.
Ling's eyes flashed, "Okay, if this is what you want, I will definitely defend the Hangu Pagoda and will not give anyone another chance to destroy it." β
Tianxian was surprised, "You...... You're going to say yes?"
Ling smiled slightly, "If you get angry every time you are teased by the same means, then you are stupid." β
Tian Xian scratched his head, "I don't mean to ...... because I want to defend the Hangu Tower."
"I understand. Ling interrupted without hesitation, "But if you just want to defend the Hangu Tower, I will agree to the same." β
Ling suddenly tilted his head and said playfully: "Actually, this is necessary, only I can do this now, I guard the Hangu Pagoda is the inevitable practice of our team, I just don't want you to agree as soon as you open your mouth, as if I am very obedient." β
Tian Xian was dumbfounded.
It turns out that I've been being teased all along......
"So, the matter of Hanguta has been decided for the time being, and now let's get down to business. Ling let go of Tianxian's hand and sat upright, with a serious face.
Guarding the Hangu Pagoda is not a serious matter? Tianxian couldn't help but become serious with his expression, "What's the matter?"
"As a wife, I will defend my rights and dignity, so I will not tolerate any woman fooling around you!"
Tianxian's expression was like stuffing ten eggs in his mouth, "What...... You say, what?"
"At the moment, this is not the case, but given that you are bent on keeping so many women around, I must be vigilant lest there be a situation in the future where you have so many women that you don't even remember who I am. β
Tianxian couldn't help but sweat, "That, Ling ...... There is no such thing. β
Ling nodded, "It's good that you realize the unreasonableness of this matter, if any more women appear, it is not you who can decide whether she will stay, but, us!"
"You...... You guys?"
"Yes. We!" Ling stressed, "Do you understand this?"
To be honest, Tian Xian didn't think about this, and now that Ling said it, he couldn't react a little, but this is his fiancΓ©e in front of him, isn't it......
"Understood!" Tian Xian had a heroic expression, "I totally understand!"
"Good, I'll be drafting the charter soon. Then show it to a few sisters, and the matter is settled. β
Until Tian Xian left the top floor of the Han Gu Tower, she was still a little dizzy, Tian Xian just knew that Ling had agreed to stay and guard the Han Gu Tower, and she seemed to be very happy, but she seemed to have made some kind of judgment without understanding it......
Tian Xian regretted that he agreed without asking carefully, but soon Tian Xian had no time to dwell on this matter, because a strange situation had already appeared around the Hangu Tower.
"The branches are stretching out this way. β
Tu Ge held the information sent back by the lion scouts in his hand, pointed to the forest outside the window and said to everyone. "There has been an unnatural change in the forest around Hanguta, and the branches are growing in one direction, and we don't know what this situation represents. β
In the circular room on the top floor of the Hangu Tower, everyone listened to the latest information sent back by Tu Ge with puzzled expressions, and now the lions were moving around to get first-hand information about the forest.
"The branches are tilting in this direction...... "Tianxian looks at Luna.
As the highest native inhabitant here, Luna, the elf, has the most say in the changes in the forest.
Luna didn't hesitate. He said directly: "The forests of the Eastern Kingdom are different from the human continents, and every night the forests are brand new. Because the forest changes dramatically every day, it's not uncommon for the branches to move, but it's extremely rare if all the trees point their branches at us. β
"Perhaps...... It's that Barbarot again. Luna frowned deeply, "It's unimaginable that he can drive the Kuroshio." If he didn't do this by chance, then I don't think the situation needs much explanation. β
As she spoke, Luna looked at Tianxian, "Perhaps, you can draw some conclusions from the Kuroshio incident. β
Apparently. Luna doesn't know exactly what's going on.
Everyone's eyes are on Tianxian, compared with a few days ago, now everyone's eyes are a little more expectant.
Now everyone feels a vague powerlessness, the powerlessness of facing the endless forest, different from the tension of facing the silent forest and always ready to face the crisis, here, the most dangerous thing is not something hidden in the forest, but the forest itself, you can never escape this sense of crisis, there can never be a really easy moment, even if you are in the cold ancient tower.
Tian Xian thought for a while, and then unfolded the map.
This is a map of the Stone Axe Tribe's collection, showing the general topography and territorial division of the entire Eastern Kingdom, as well as some regional features that require special attention.
Of course, this precious map is also very inaccurate, and after getting this map, Tian Xian has found at least several serious errors in this map, but this does not affect its preciousness.
Luna was amazed at the map, as even the elves did not have an accurate map of the Eastern Kingdoms, which was extremely difficult to obtain given the lions' narrow range of movement and remote habitat.
"We are going to the territory of the elves, that is, the west of the center of the Eastern Kingdom, and now we have passed through the territory of the lion, there are no more lions in front, the green lions and the lion tribes other than the stone axe tribe are distributed on both sides of our forward route, no accident will not meet, we will meet the two tribes again in a straight line. β
"But ......" finger went around the area in front of the map, and Tian Xian continued: "If we take a slight detour, we can avoid all the tribes and go directly to the elven tribe, which will probably take more than ten days, of course, this is when we have the Hangu Tower. β
Raising his hand and pointing outside, Tianxian's gaze still did not leave the map, "The trees outside seem to be watching us, what I want to tell you now is that this must be Barbarot's means, he will definitely not let us go, it is his best chance to destroy us here, he will do everything he can to destroy us, so we must be very careful at every step, the weapon in his hand is very strange, and he has very strong power." β
"Plus!"
Tianxian's fingers slowly moved along the map, and the cold air of the silver water spirit left traces of frost on it, "Regarding the Kuroshio, what I can conclude now is that it is a kind of rampant movement of the power of the gods, just like the situation in the northern highlands of the human world, the power of the gods is becoming stronger and more concrete, the black horn is gradually causing the highlanders to gradually lose their minds, and the Kuroshio in the eastern kingdom is becoming more violent and irregular. β
"And Barbarot, like Norma, he has traveled through many worlds, learned a lot, and I want to emphasize that those worlds are places where the gods have taken refuge after leaving our world, and even where they were born, maybe the divine powers that we believe in, the miracles that we talk about, are just ordinary things in those worlds, and Barbarot has traveled through those worlds, and I think he has now mastered many powers that only true gods can understand. β
Speaking of this, everyone's expressions were extremely serious, and even a little nervous.
Barbarot is only alone at the moment, and his helpers are all temporary puzzles, but there is no doubt that this lone guy is putting a lot of pressure on everyone.
Tian Xian continued: "The Kuroshio is a manifestation of the power of the gods, strictly speaking, some kind of god power is driving the Kuroshio operation, one of which is the marrow eating forest, and I also relied on this to stop the Kuroshio, and in addition, Norma also left me a lot of knowledge, which allows me to see the changes in the Eastern Kingdom more clearly, and these ...... Babarot, who is almost at the same level as Norma, can do it. β
"If Barbarott can start the Kuroshio...... I don't think it's surprising, and this has already happened, although the scale of the Kuroshio is small. β
"Now we have to be careful of Barbarote's direct attack, and even more so the entire forest! The Eastern Kingdom is more dangerous than ever, because there is a guy who can drive the remnants of the gods in the forest who is fighting against us. β
Tian Xian paused, "So, I'm going to revise our course of action now so as not to be ambushed by that guy in some places!"
Everyone was stunned, and their eyes suddenly focused on the map.
Tian Xian has already drawn a road map on the map, but ...... This route looks more like a pattern.
"What is this?" Luna said bluntly.
"No, it's a topographic map of our surroundings, and the distribution of the forests, and then ...... It's a formation!" )
