When the magic flower blooms

The walking corpse in white sticks out a long purple-red tongue with brownish-yellow, sharp fine teeth all over the tongue.With the swimming of the long tongue, the teeth rub against each other, making a creepy clicking sound.

But for Ming Ruoxing, the current enemy is far more than this one.

Patronizing to avoid the attack of walking corpses, one inattentive, his feet have been tightly entangled by branches.And that, in turn, got in the way of his fight with the walking dead.

Raising the knife with his hand, he cut off a tangled tongue.Ming Ruoxing didn't have time to catch his breath, and continued to bend down and chop the branches that had climbed up to his calf.

But before he had time to regain his freedom, he saw a flying shadow in mid-air suddenly attack again.

Ming Ruoxing knew that he had to dodge quickly, but the branches on his feet restricted his movements.

In the next second, there was a sharp pain in his thigh.

He saw a sneak attacking tooth tongue wrapped around his right leg.The teeth on the tongue were all barbs, and with just one touch, it tore his robe and even cut off a layer of flesh on his leg!

Although this is an illusion of the pot sky, the feeling of pain is still real.Ming Ruoxing bit down on the painful cry that almost blurted out, and swung his knife to cut off the tooth tongue.

The broken tongue fell to the ground and turned into a cloud of black air, but almost at the same time, another one came straight to his face!

At this critical moment, He Tiansi's shout suddenly came from a distance.

"It's gone—it's gone!!!"

Ming Ruoxing understood it instantly, and immediately restrained his pheromone power and the dagger in his hand.

The target's aura disappeared instantly, and the radish suddenly stopped less than ten centimeters from the tip of Ming Ruoxing's nose.Suspiciously swaying from side to side, it gradually turned to another direction.

Although the branches of the blood tree were still entangled, Ming Ruoxing persisted, enduring the pain and staying still.Until those walking corpses in white couldn't find anyone, they formed a row and walked away slowly.

"Xiao Ming—!"

He Tiansi immediately ran over quickly, and broke off the branches that wrapped around Ming Ruoxing with his bare hands.At a glance, I saw the torn white robe and the dripping blood.

"Don't move, I'll bandage you!"

As he said that, he was about to pull his sleeves to bandage Ming Ruoxing's wound.

"I am fine."

Ming Ruoxing was very calm, he refused He Tiansi's care, and pointed to a small open space beside him.

"Help me over there."

He Tiansi was so distressed that he died, he simply hugged Ming Ruoxing horizontally, and ran over in two or three steps.

Ming Ruoxing gritted his teeth and sat down cross-legged in the open space, then ordered He Tiansi to stand around and guard, while he closed his eyes and entered a meditation state.

Although he didn't know what Ming Ruoxing was going to do, He Tiansi didn't dare to be vague at all.He took the kitchen knife in his hand again, and was wary of the branches and roots that were still surrounding him.

After a stalemate like this for about four or five minutes, Ming Ruoxing finally said, "Okay."

He Tiansi turned his head and found that Ming Ruoxing had stood up.He hurried forward to help, but was pushed away.

"I'm fine now." Ming Ruoxing raised his leg, "In Hutian, as long as it is not a fatal injury, it can be healed. The healing effect is affected by Hutian, and it will vary from person to person."

Having said that, he looked at the kitchen knife in He Tiansi's hand again.

"Why, already know how to put it away?"

"En." He Tiansi smiled wryly, raised his hand, and saw the kitchen knife disappeared without a trace.

"I only mastered it the second time, not bad."

"It's not bad." He Tiansi still had a little self-knowledge, "If it was really good, I wouldn't let you suffer like this for nothing just now."

After just two words, the branches of the blood tree surrounded him again.The two had to get back into battle mode.

I don't know if it's because he felt guilty for putting Ming Ruoxing in danger just now, or because he just learned to retract freely, in short, from then on, He Tiansi became extraordinarily active and hardworking, walking in front of Ming Ruoxing all the way .

After that, they encountered the walking dead in white three times.It's been smoother every time.After about a quarter of an hour, the eerie blood forest finally came to an end.

The moment he ran out of the woods, the moonlight above his head brightened again.

"Come out?" He Tiansi still couldn't believe it.

"Yeah." Ming Ruoxing pulled He Tiansi with one hand to slow him down, "Don't be in such a hurry."

Counting it, the two of them have spent more than an hour in the blood forest.Prolonged strenuous exercise consumes a lot of energy.Once I relax at this moment, my legs feel weak and exhausted.

He Tiansi simply pulled Ming Ruoxing and sat down on the ground panting.The air outside the forest no longer smelled of blood, and there was even a hint of sweetness in the coolness.

"Give."

Ming Ruoxing was staring at the full moon above his head in a daze when he suddenly felt He Tiansi touch his arm.He turned his head to look, and found that He Tiansi was actually holding a plastic mineral water bottle in his hand, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

"You made it?"

Ming Ruoxing took the plastic bottle and took a sip. It was indeed odorless and tasteless, just like ordinary mineral water.

"Of course, otherwise?" He Tiansi had an expression of "quickly praise me, I'm a genius".

However, Ming Ruoxing didn't appreciate it.

"It's better not to do these redundant actions. You can't lock your ability to mobilize yourself as you want, and a bottle of mineral water is not a small consumption. Don't misfire at a critical moment, that's the serious business."

"But doesn't thirst also affect combat effectiveness?"

He Tiansi muttered, and suddenly turned his ears to the side, noticing some movement in the distance.

"Did you hear it? There seems to be the sound of water!"

___________

This time, He Tiansi heard correctly.

After a short rest, the two continued to walk 500 meters towards the moon, and the sound of the water became clearer and clearer.

Immediately afterwards, a big river lay in front of them.

At first glance, the river looks a bit like the waterway they took to Wentianyuan by boat this morning, only without the steep cliffs around it.The river flows on the flat land at a gentle speed, sparkling in the moonlight.

I have to say, it's beautiful.

Standing by the river and admiring it for a while, He Tiansi suddenly realized an important problem.

"The moon is on the other side of the river. How can we get across without a bridge?"

In order to prove this point, the two walked along the river for 500 meters. All they could see was a vast expanse of white water, and there was indeed no way to cross the river with their own strength.

Ming Ruoxing said: "If you are a demihuman with bird genes, you can directly turn into a bird at this time. Of course, mermaids can also swim there. As for people like us..."

On his side, he was trying to analyze, but he saw that the actionist He Tiansi was already striding towards the river, knelt down on the bank of the river with a plop, and actually stuck his whole head into the water.

Ming Ruoxing thought that he was possessed by an evil spirit, so he hurried over to help.But He Tiansi quickly raised his head again, and shook the water droplets all over his head.

"Under the water—it's awesome!" He gasped, eager to report his discovery, "There are people, densely packed with a lot of people!"

The wind in the wilderness wrinkled the water surface, and the glistening moonlight also played a mirror-like reflection.Standing on the shore, it is difficult to observe the scenery at the bottom of the river.However, once you poke your head into the water, your field of vision suddenly becomes completely different.

Under He Tiansi's instigation, Ming Ruoxing also made the same silly move.He opened his eyes in the water, and the first thing he saw was a pale, expressionless human face less than five meters away.

It was a naked body as white as ceramics, suspended in the silent underwater world.

But it is not alone, because there are hundreds of similar corpses, in various postures, floating in the water.

So dead, so eerie, so beyond reality.

-

After observing for about half a minute, Ming Ruoxing returned to the water surface.He Tiansi, who was waiting by the side, immediately expressed his guesses and assumptions during the half minute.

"These water ghosts are probably the same thing as the walking corpses in white clothes in the woods. When we cross the river, they will float out of the river to interfere with us, with the purpose of dragging us into the water and drowning... Maybe, These guys themselves are people who have drowned here before."

Having said this, he paused.

"Also, I also want to know how to cross the river - that is the forest we walked through just now. Cut down a few trees there, tie them into a raft or simply build a bridge, can't we go across? ?”

"Don't be so troublesome," Ming Ruoxing shook his head, "Don't forget that this is a test for you, not a survival game for the two of us."

After saying this, he looked down at the river, and at the same time stretched out his hands and pressed them lightly on the water.

Guessing what Ruoxing is trying to do, He Tiansi can only observe quietly.

The surface of the river began to churn, at first there was only one place, followed by the second place, and the third place... Soon, with Ming Ruoxing as the center, the water surface within a radius of about three meters was like a huge hot pot, the whole place was jumping and churning stand up.

But what floated up from this "hot pot" was nothing appetizing.

He Tiansi opened his eyes wide.He saw those corpses that were originally suspended in the river surfaced one by one, and those pairs of white eyes like dead fish stared at him in unison.

"careful!"

Before he had time to think too much, He Tiansi grabbed Ming Ruoxing and ran towards the bank for about ten meters while holding him.

Ming Ruoxing who came back to his senses hastily punched him on the back: "What are you doing?!"

After making sure that those corpses did not catch up to the shore, He Tiansi put Ming Ruoxing down, "Didn't you see those corpses? I'm afraid they will catch up and bite!"

"You think too much." Ming Ruoxing sneered, "I summoned them all, but you sent them all down again."

He Tiansi also did not expect this development, he opened his mouth halfway, and it took a long time before he could make a sound again.

"You... What's the use of getting them up? Pitching a skin raft?"

Ming Ruoxing glared at him without speaking, and walked straight back to the river bank.Squat down again and continue the previous action.

This time, He Tiansi did not intervene. Three to four minutes later, dozens of corpses surfaced one after another.

Then, under He Tiansi's astonished gaze, these corpses actually formed a long queue, leading to the opposite bank of the river.

"And this kind of operation?!"

The scene in front of He Tiansi's eyes was a little scary, but also a little ridiculous—Ming Ruoxing, who was originally light, calmly stepped onto the pontoon bridge made of corpses.He walked unhurriedly all the way to the center of the river, then turned around and stretched out his hand towards He Tiansi.

"come."

He Tiansi knew that he had no choice, and he didn't want to show timidity in front of Ming Ruoxing, so he took a deep breath and was about to walk towards the bridge of corpses with great strides.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the bank of the river, the water surface churned again, and the floating corpses that were floating on the water surface sank one after another.

In just ten seconds, half of the pontoon bridge disappeared.Only Ming Ruoxing was left standing in the distance with a smile on his face.

He Tiansi suddenly understood: this is to use his own strength to summon the corpse out of the river again.
