Yao Xiaohua followed behind Chang Xiaoqing, trudging through the thick mulch in the forest without lifting her head, as if bowing her waist with great difficulty.
Every step she took was on the route Chang Xiaoqing had passed.
Before setting off, Lin Mao carefully instructed this point: In the woods surrounding Biezhuang, there is a formation that Chang Qing asked an expert to set up, so if you take a wrong step, you may be trapped in the forest and never see you again. In the sky, or fall into a sinister trap and be torn to pieces on the spot.
For an ordinary Orion girl, it should be very hard to walk in the footsteps of others for a long time.It was precisely because of this that Yao Xiaohua deliberately relaxed her breathing.Although at certain moments, he would raise his head, seemingly inadvertently looking at the two people in front of him.The light leaking from the gaps in the dense leaves above the head is like pale golden threads, and the pupils of the eyes of ordinary girls show a beautiful... dangerous golden color.
And at the end of the group is a noble boy who is panting like a cow and whose face is as white as paper.Zhang Qiong was seriously injured at first, and every time she took a step, she seemed to be able to hear the wound swaying, as if she was about to fall to the ground and faint in the next second—but one step after another, Zhang Qiong also Just dragging such a weak body, he followed up abruptly.
And the reason why he was able to hold on to this point was quite related to his breathing. His seemingly chaotic panting actually had its own special rhythm under careful study.Obviously, Zhang Qiong, as the only son of the Emperor Yun, even if he is no longer favored, there are still potential experts around him who will teach him the extremely brilliant art of breathing.
However, in this way...
"Ugh……"
The sigh that belongs to girls is particularly obvious in the dead forest.
Chang Xiaoqing's footsteps paused suddenly, and then she heard Yao Xiaohua's crisp voice behind her.
It's just that the person that annoying little girl was talking to was Zhang Qiong.
"Hey, do you want me to give you a hand?"
Zhang Qiong was in a trance for a long time before regaining a little sanity amidst the severe pain and fainting, and then pieced together the meaning of the girl's words in her mind.
For a moment, he almost reached out to hold Yao Xiaohua's palm foolishly.
But after raising his head to meet Yao Xiaohua's seemingly friendly eyes, a sharp chill suddenly pierced the back of Zhang Qiong's neck like a steel needle, making him wake up instantly.
"Thank you...thank you miss, but this place is dangerous, I really dare not drag you down."
Zhang Qiong said with difficulty.
"Tsk."
Yao Xiaohua glanced at him with the end of her eyes, like all the little girls whose face was swept away, she turned her head bitterly.
That terrible premonition slowly slipped down Zhang Qiong's back again.
He didn't dare to relax, seeing that Chang Xiaoqing and the others had already walked a short distance while he was talking to Yao Xiaohua, he quickly gritted his teeth and rushed up.
But within a few steps, Chang Qing, who was walking in the front, stopped in Lin Mao's low voice of "Wait a minute".
"Shh..."
In the silent woods, a gust of wind blew.
"Put me down."
Lin Mao said.
In front of him, an open space suddenly appeared.
The thick and wet rotting leaves on the ground are no longer replaced by layers of white bones.
And among the thin or thick skeletons, there are one after another Timberwolves.
Chang Xiaoqing's eyes fell on those slow-breathing, motionless beasts, and she couldn't help frowning slightly.Yao Xiaohua poked her head over and only glanced at it, and a look of disgust suddenly appeared in her eyes.
When Zhang Qiong finally arrived and witnessed the scene in front of her, she took a step back in disbelief and opened her mouth to vomit.
Lin Mao turned his head in time, put his fingers in front of his lips, and made a silent gesture.
The Timber Wolf was born very thin, not much bigger than a cat, with only sparse fur on its blue-brown skin, and a mouthful of fine fangs protruding from the gap between its lips, which looks like a dog. It also looks like a big mouse whose flesh has been stripped off.Probably because of being in the humid and gloomy forest all year round, there are often large and large rotten lumps all over the body. After a distance of Zhang Xu, I can still clearly smell the stench coming from the wind.
At this time, there are probably hundreds of... no, maybe thousands of such disgusting and terrifying beasts in this open space.
The only good news is that this large pack of Timberwolves is now sleeping.
"Brother Chang used some prescriptions from Master back then..."
Lin Mao lowered his voice and said softly.
Chang Xiaoqing couldn't help but said bluntly: "He actually put such a disgusting thing by your side?"
Lin Mao was startled, and his voice became weaker and weaker: "The group of forest wolves did not become so abominable and abominable back then, but this kind of evil beast is not born with nature. No one has taken care of this place these years. Fang Zi is very vicious, that's why they mutated into this appearance."
Chang Xiaoqing seemed to want to say something, but after meeting Lin Mao's gaze, he finally said nothing.
Then Lin Mao took a look at Xiaoqing and Yao Xiaohua, and said: "This road must be passed-there are formations and traps in other places, and it is impossible to go around. But the good news is, wait for us After passing this place, the exit is not far away. It’s just that this group of Timberwolves have been trained before, and if they detect someone with martial arts passing by, they will immediately wake them up. Brother Chang brought them here When I let them smell me, he logically said that they would not dare to hurt me. It's just that so many years have passed, and the old wolves in those days may have died long ago. What we see now should be the same as before. The offspring left by the pack of wolves, after such a long time, I am not sure if they will still know me... Just in case, when we walk forward later, Xiaoqing and Miss Yao will hold my hand " Lin Mao stretched out his hand to Chang Xiaoqing, and continued, "And if there is any change in the wolves later, I will ask Xiaoqing to lead people away—if you are lucky, you may be able to avoid them. "
Chang Xiaoqing agreed.
Lin Mao turned around again, and met Zhang Qiong who looked haggard and crumbling.
"Young Master Zhang...you..."
Lin Mao shook his lips unconsciously, his eyes full of guilt.
Although he didn't say the words, the meaning behind the words was very clear.
After all, there are differences between people. Lin Mao can hold the hands of Chang Xiaoqing and Yao Xiaohua to protect them with his own breath, and Chang Xiaoqing can also promise to lead the two to escape when danger comes.But the manpower is limited, even if Zhang Qiong's status was noble in the past, he is still a burden now.
Lin Mao could only let him follow closely behind the group of people, but he couldn't tell the difference between the extra protection.
"I understand."
Zhang Qiong cupped his hands towards Lin Mao and spoke first.
Faced with such a situation, it would be a lie to say that Zhang Qiong had no resentment in her heart.
However, before Lin Mao's worried and guilty face, that bit of resentment quickly disappeared like ice and snow in the sun.
Even if Zhang Qiong was angry again, she couldn't bear to embarrass Lin Mao.
Lin Mao sighed, took Yao Xiaohua and Chang Xiaoqing's hands, and after walking for half a step, he suddenly stopped again.
Then he tore off a corner of his clothes and handed it to Zhang Qiong, motioning for the latter to tie the cloth on his body.
Zhang Qiong quickly took the fabric and tied it around her neckline.
The cloth exuded a very faint sweet fragrance, and there was still a little warmth from Lin Mao's body.Zhang Qiong didn't know what was going on with her either, but when she thought of this, she couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Yao Xiaohua glanced at him seemingly unintentionally, her eyes paused for a moment on the man's suddenly flushed cheeks.
"Let's go, everyone be careful."
Lin Mao's voice sounded.
Yao Xiaohua quickly looked back, and grabbed Lin Mao with one hand.
"Crack-"
Stepping on the white bones under Lin Lang, the bones immediately made a crisp and small cracking sound.
"Guru..."
The Timberwolf sleeping on the ground suddenly moved. Through the naked skin, everyone could clearly see the momentary tense muscles under the skin of these beasts.
Thick saliva slowly trickled down Timberwolf's teeth in a grunting sound that became more and more similar.
thumping—
thumping—
thumping—
At this moment, everyone's hearts hung high in the air.
Fortunately, the Timberwolf just raised his head with his eyes tightly closed, and after his swollen nose fluttered in the air, he lay back down again, gurgling in his throat, and fell asleep again.
Senior Brother Chang's effort on this group of beasts back then has not completely failed.
Chang Xiaoqing and Lin Mao looked at each other, and they both saw each other's expressions relaxed.
Then, Chang Xiaoqing held hands with Lin Mao, and took another step towards the pack of wolves.
Yao Xiaohua's reaction was more serious than Chang Xiaoqing's. She seemed to be pressing her face to her chest, and one hand was holding Lin Mao's wrist tightly.Lin Mao couldn't help but frowned in pain.
He did not expect that Yao Xiaohua, as the daughter of Orion's family, would have such a big reaction——
However, when Yao Xiaohua also stepped into the sphere of influence of the Timberwolves, the Timberwolves' reaction was indeed greater than before.
Lin Mao could clearly see that around Yao Xiaohua, several Timberwolves had even opened their eyes in a half-dream and half-awake state. The pair of yellow eyeballs were inlaid in such ugly flesh, and they looked even more horrified. people.
Yao Xiaohua also noticed this, and she quickly pressed Lin Mao tighter.
Through the cloth, Lin Mao could feel Yao Xiaohua's whole body trembling slightly.
Lin Mao only thought that Yao Xiaohua was too scared.
On the contrary, behind the three of them, Zhang Qiong, whose face was getting paler, couldn't help but look up at the seemingly slender girl.
Is it his illusion caused by excessive blood loss?
Zhang Qiong always felt that there seemed to be something like scales flickering around Yao Xiaohua's neckline and sleeves.
Every step she took was on the route Chang Xiaoqing had passed.
Before setting off, Lin Mao carefully instructed this point: In the woods surrounding Biezhuang, there is a formation that Chang Qing asked an expert to set up, so if you take a wrong step, you may be trapped in the forest and never see you again.
