Envy

Meng Tou woke up Yan Zhaohan and Xue Ye at Xushi.When they went downstairs, they saw three or four teenagers walking upstairs talking and laughing, so they immediately turned to the end of the corridor, and they ran down the carved building after the teenagers returned to their respective rooms.

After crossing the Jiuqu Bridge outside the Diaohua Building and passing through the pavilion, they came to the Peach Blossom Forest.In winter, the peach trees are bare and lose their brilliance.Standing by the lake can feel the biting coldness.Meng Tou pinches Yujian.I saw a flash of white light, going straight to the sky, but it seemed to be blocked in mid-air, and disappeared all of a sudden.The ice-drinking sword fell down, and Meng Tou took it back into his hand with his true energy.

Xue Ye asked, "What's going on? How did the Ice Drinking Sword fall?"

Meng Tou stared at the long sword in his hand, then raised his head to look at the dark night sky, and said in a deep voice, "There is a barrier here, we can't leave with the sword."

Yan Zhaohan said: "My master, Zhenjun Li Hua, also set up a barrier in the palace to resist foreign evils and prevent the wild spirits from going out of the palace. It is not surprising that Patriarch Menghua followed suit."

"You guys have so many minds and eyes." Xue Ye said, "Then...then we have to force our way out?"

Meng Tou said, "Probably we have to force our way in."

Meng Tou took out the map of Xiqi Palace from his bosom, chose the nearest road, and led the two of them away.The three of them have good lightness skills, and they can shuttle freely between the top of the wall.

They headed all the way to the northwest corner of Menghua Palace.There is a forest in the northwest corner.The defense was lax there, and there were no people from Menghua Palace who were on duty in turn.In fact, if they fight, those people must not be their opponents, but Meng Tou is still not easy to tear his face, and it is not a good thing for Mu Mi to annoy Patriarch Menghua.

Xue Ye heard from Meng Tou that he could escape from Menghua Palace by climbing over the outer wall through the forest, so he turned over from the wall and walked towards the forest first.

After jumping off the city wall, Meng Tou stretched out his arms to Yan Zhaohan who was still on top of the wall.Yan Zhaohan jumped down without hesitation, and was caught and hugged by Meng Tou.

Meng Tou took his hand and went into the woods, and said sourly, "Don't get lost again."

Yan Zhaohan saw his white clothes and looked up to see his profile.He held his hand tightly.Until the white clothes were swallowed by darkness, he still held his hand tightly.

There is little moonlight in the woods.The rare moonlight falls from between the shaded branches.It was cloudy all around.This kind of forest reminded Yan Zhaohan of the back mountain of Xiqi Palace, the place where all his fears were imprisoned.

He nearly died there.He struggled desperately and summoned Fengya, the sword spirit.At that time, he thought that the sword spirit was just a mass of invisible true energy, but he didn't know that it had a shape, and that shape was changed according to the thoughts of the sword holder.He admitted that when he was about to die, Meng Tou was still on his mind.

Back then, Fengye Sword Spirit guarded him in the forest all night.At this time, Meng Tou held his hand tightly and walked in the forest.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, a wolf howled from the forest.Xue Ye was walking ahead, but stopped now.Meng Touyan and Zhaohan walked up to him just at this moment.

Xue Ye said: "How come there are wolves howling here? The old hag still raises wolves in the forest, right?"

Yan Zhaohan was silent for a while, then said, "It is indeed possible."

As soon as the words fell, wolves howled everywhere.It didn't sound like there was just one wolf, but several wolves howling in the woods.

"Too bad. I should have brought a lantern with me when I first came out." Meng Tou said, "We have to get out of here quickly."

They were about to leave when they heard a commotion among the weeds.A pair of blood-red wolf eyes opened in the dark night, and then another pair of blood-red eyes appeared.Seeing their scalps go numb.There was a low whine between the sharp teeth of the beast.

"Blood Corpse Wolf." Yan Zhaohan tugged on Meng Tou's sleeve.

"what?"

"It's similar to corpse men. Blood corpse wolves are also immortal, controlled by Master Menghua. They are quite bloody and harder to deal with than ordinary wolves."

As he was talking, a blood corpse wolf rushed towards Xue Ye. Xue Ye was knocked to the ground, blocked the wolf's teeth with his sword, and threw the blood corpse wolf away before the sharp claws could strike it down.The wolf's body slammed into the tree trunk and fell into the grass.

The remaining wolves had already rushed to the surrounding grass, stopped for a while, took a few steps towards them, and then pounced on them.Meng Tou drew out his long sword.The swordsmanship was messy.Several white lights flashed, and the two blood corpse wolves fell into a pool of blood.

Pushed away by Yan Zhaohanyun's true energy, the blood corpse wolf rolled a few somersaults in the dust and mud, stood up and shook off the heavy crumbs on its fur, whimpered a few times, and ran towards them again, but fell down again. At the foot of Meng Tou.

The last blood corpse wolf did not know how to live or die, and had to fight to the death, but was stabbed to death by Xue Ye's long sword.

Still in shock, sharp laughter came from the woods.They have heard such sharp and stern laughter countless times in Yong Ye and Zhao Lin, and they are no strangers.Corpsemen and wild spirits would laugh like that.They looked towards the way they came, and saw a few corpses coming by the moonlight.

Only half of their bodies have rotting flesh and blood, while the other half of their bodies reveal empty white bones.Their hair was long and messy, covering their faces.

"Menghua Palace also raised corpses?"

Meng Tou grabbed Xue Ye's wrist, ran forward and said, "What else are you thinking at this moment, run quickly, are you still here to continue entangled with the corpse man?"

They didn't run very far, and several corpses appeared in front of them.Not seeing how many there were, Meng Tou hurriedly led them to change directions.

Xue Ye didn't know the way, so he just followed Meng Tou, but he didn't know whether Meng Tou wanted to lead them escape, or go back to Diaohualou first.Or, Meng Tou is just leading them to escape now.Xue Ye had no idea.

He suddenly tripped under his feet and fell to the ground.He suspected that he had tripped over the root of some old tree, so he quickly got up without thinking too much.When he got up, he found that he still couldn't run. Something was wrapped around his right ankle, and it was quite tight.

He bent over to pick something wrapped around his ankle.He felt leaves and rough branches that seemed to be vines.He was terrified to pull the vines, but he couldn't pull them apart for a long time.Seeing Meng Tou running away with Yan Zhaohan, he called out "Meng Tou".

Meng Tou paused, turned around and saw him standing there bent over, was also sweating from shock, told Yan Zhaohan to stand still, and ran back by himself to untie the vines wrapped around Xue Ye's feet .Meng Tou couldn't solve it either.And he saw several corpses walking towards here following the smell.

He stood up, drew his long sword, and found that he couldn't move his feet.His ankles were also entangled in vines.

The corpse man laughed, creepy.Meng Tou also saw skeleton soldiers among the group of corpses.
