blue wind

The cocklebur became more rigid, as if it had become a humanoid sculpture.

Whether it was intentional or not, Lang Ling's hand was placed on the back of his neck. As long as the other party exerted force, it would be easy to kill him.

He paused for a long time, then suddenly relaxed, and nodded briskly.

There was silence in the air, only the rustling sound from outside the cave still persisted in.

Lang Ling looked at him with heavy eyes, and it seemed that the shadow of a sword was hidden in his eyes.After a long while, he closed his eyes, sighed vaguely, raised his hand and rubbed the top of the cocklebur's hair, clasped the thin wrist naturally as if nothing had happened, and slowly passed the time. Internal force goes.

Forget it, no matter what this person thought at first, at least now he can be regarded as the person who has confessed to him, and there is no need to break his promise.

What's more, it is up to this person to detoxify the unknown Gu poison.

Xanthium seemed to have expected that nothing would happen to him, he just raised his head slightly, then lowered it obediently, silently refining the internal force Lang Lingdu gave him.

So far, nothing to say all night.

The swarm of insects began to recede when the sun penetrated the thick fog and entered the canyon. After a while, it receded cleanly and disappeared completely.The mist filled every corner and wiped away the traces left by the swarms. If one hadn't experienced it personally, probably no one would believe that this canyon was crawling with man-eating Gu worms last night.

Langling stood holding the cocklebur for the whole night, with internal strength to protect her body, she didn't feel any pain in her waist or legs.He looked out, and saw that the fog under the sun was thinner, and he felt a bit of beauty when he moved forward leisurely driven by the wind.

It's a pity that the peaceful beauty of Long Fog Valley only existed in the short time after the killing of the insect swarm.

After Xanthi said that the insect swarm would come once every ten days, Lang Ling went out to look for food a few times, but the worm swarm was so clean that he returned without success most of the time, only on the second day After walking a long way, two rabbits were hunted back.

That night, the two of them sat across the bonfire without saying a word, and the rabbit meat was placed on the fire, dripping oil.

Silence spread in every dim light of fire.

On the third day, when Lang Ling returned from going out, she unexpectedly found that there was only one white cocoon left on the top of the cave, and the other two had all burst open, but the Gu worms bred inside were nowhere to be found.

He immediately became alert, held his breath and concentrated, and stood far outside the cave, his hands had buckled up a force, ready to go.

Xanthium had heard his footsteps coming back long ago, but hadn't heard him coming in for a long time. She felt a little confused, but after thinking about it, she suddenly realized, so she stood up and greeted him out.

Seeing him coming out, Langling took two steps back calmly, and asked straightforwardly, "Where's the Gu worm?"

"Backlash, kill." Cocklebur said briefly.

Lang Ling still stood there, keeping a distance of five steps, looking at him with deep eyes.

Xanthium knew that he didn't believe it, so he didn't say much, but just motioned him to look at a pothole outside the cave.

Facing him, Lang Ling walked slowly to the pothole, glanced inside, and found two grotesque corpses inside, already dead to the core, with a pool of red, green and green liquid flowing from their bodies.

This guy is really smart, knowing that what he said is unsubstantiated, he specially left the corpse of the insect to him to prove the truth.

Although it's disgusting to watch.

If it wasn't for their food shortage these days, and their stomachs are now empty, Lang Ling was really afraid that she would throw up at the first sight of that scene, and couldn't help suspecting that Xanthium was tricking him .

Fortunately, he has been the master of the pavilion for a long time, so he can hold back his emotions, and he also knows that such thoughts are purely unreasonable, and he can't take it seriously, so he took a deep breath, looked away, and forced to expel that disgusting scene from his mind After leaving, he opened his mouth: "Since it's a backlash, why not get rid of that Gu worm before it hatches?"

Xanthium said calmly: "Stay to lead the way."

Lang Ling frowned: "You don't know the way out of the valley?"

"I know." Cocklebur said lightly, "There are more than ten."

"There are so many?" Lang Ling was startled, "Then why use Gu insects to lead the way?"

"It's not a smooth journey." Cocklebur was expressionless.

Langling suddenly realized.

It seems that the Gu worm is not used to lead the way, but to explore the way.

It's no wonder that the biggest threat in Changwu Valley is all kinds of insects and snakes. It's just that some occupy the territory and don't easily move their nests, while others are wandering around. When they go outside the valley, they will inevitably encounter migrating Gu insects. , if you can't take precautions in time, I'm afraid you'll plunge into the arms of Lord Hades.

"Can it be controlled?" Lang Ling glanced at the white cocoon.

"Yes." Cocklebur nodded.

Seeing that he was sure of what he said, Langling didn't ask any more questions, and acquiesced in allowing the white cocoon to stay.

He turned and went into the hole.

Xanthium also wanted to follow in, but suddenly paused, the corners of her lips tightened suddenly, she bowed slightly, her right hand tightly clutched the clothes in front of her heart, her face turned paler, as if she was enduring some severe pain.

Langling's voice came from far away in the cave: "Come in, why are you still outside the cave?"

Gritting his teeth, Xanthium let out a breath slowly, and then walked into the cave as if nothing had happened, his face was cold, and nothing unusual could be seen.

Lang Ling did not doubt that he was there, and wanted to give him a place, but saw that the man walked straight to a dark corner to rest as if he had no interest in the fire. With this thought, I hastily took off my clothes and fell asleep.

It's just that in the corner where he couldn't see, the cocklebur's head was covered with cold sweat, because he was afraid that Lang Ling would notice the wounds on his lips, so he insisted on biting all the wounds in his mouth.

The blood flowed profusely, but the sweet smell of blood did not dissipate in the slightest.

Same night without words.

Perhaps it was God's blessing that, on the fourth day after the insect swarm, Langling unexpectedly encountered a group of deer in the valley.He seized the opportunity, caught two small ones, and brought them back to the cave with some effort.

Seeing the two roe deer, Xan'er was no less surprised than Lang Ling.

Usually, there is almost no grass in Changwu Valley, and poisonous insects are everywhere. I don't want to be able to hunt such a large prey.

"Smoked it and made it into jerky." Lang Ling looked down at the roe on the ground, "Save up and eat, there will be enough leftover food from the grain."

Cocklebur had no objection, took the initiative to take the job, and went to peel the skin and flesh.

Langling had been traveling outside for nearly a day, and she was a little tired at this time. After lighting the fire, she sat on the side to warm the fire, feeling drowsy.

He squinted his eyes, wandering in a half-dream and half-awake state, and gradually felt that the air around him was scorching hot, as if it was about to be roasted.

what happened?He thought in a daze.Is the fire too hot?

The temperature was getting higher and higher, he breathed out unconsciously, frowned, opened his eyes, and moved a little away from the fire.

However, the temperature didn't show any downward trend, instead it rose higher and higher, as if it was going to burn his whole body.

It was only then that Lang Ling realized that her body was hot and dry, and when she thought of the so-called residual poison, her heart felt cold, and she immediately got up to stagger and go to Xan'er for the detoxification method.

It's a pity that the effect of this poison is still as violent as when he was poisoned for the first time, but after a while, beads of sweat the size of beans have already slipped from his temples.He was a little dizzy, so he had to sit down, hold the ground restraintly, and wanted to call Xanthium, but found that he still didn't know his name, and was speechless for a while.

Fortunately, Xanthium had sensed his strangeness, put down the bat tooth in time and walked over: "Remaining poison?"

Lang Ling nodded with difficulty.The poison swarmed through his limbs and bones, and it seemed to burn through his entire abdominal cavity, making him dizzy and almost unable to hold on.

"It's so early..." Cocklebur was still talking to himself.

"How...to solve it?" Langling panted somewhat hurriedly, her gaze fell on Xan'er's face.

"Unsolvable." Cocklebur said calmly, "There is no medicine in the valley."

Lang Ling never expected to hear such an answer.He grabbed Xanthium's wrist and almost gritted his teeth: "You promised to detoxify me back then!"

"Yes." Cocklebur ignored Lang Ling's painful wrist, "I promise."

The internal force of the riot under the force made Lang Ling very irritable, and he almost wanted to strangle this guy: "You..."

The next moment his voice stopped abruptly, and then suddenly raised his voice: "What are you doing?"

Following Langling's strength, she knelt down and sat down, and the cocklebur, who had already untied most of her clothes, tilted her head and made a puzzled voice: "Huh?"

Langling choked up, suddenly blissful to her heart, and suddenly understood what he meant by detoxification.

He regretted agreeing to Xanthium a little bit.

Damn deal!

But he couldn't let go, instead he unconsciously clenched Cocklebur's wrist in accordance with instinct.The body temperature of Xanthium has been low in this cold weather, and the cool skin is attached to his hot palm, which feels indescribably comfortable.

Langling looked at Xanthium steadfastly.He clearly knew that after a while, he would lose all reason and be dominated by instinct like last time.

In fact, he has no choice but to retreat, no choice, isn't he?

Langling closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and pulled the cocklebur into her arms.

The shattered memories of that night a few days ago seemed to reappear, but this time he was a little more sober, knowing that the man let him play tricks, without struggling or making a sound, and only when he really couldn't hold on, would he let out a little bit from his throat. A suppressed breath.

When everything calmed down, Lang Ling adjusted her breath and hugged the cocklebur quietly for a while, then lowered her head, and gently brushed the man's sweaty hair behind her ears.

Cocklebur fainted, unconscious.

Lang Ling silently looked at the silver-gray bat-shaped imprint between his eyebrows. After a long time, she carefully stretched out her hand, and her fingertips slowly slid across the edge of the imprint.

His strength was not strong, it could even be called gentle, but it still seemed to make Xanthium feel uncomfortable, and he frowned in sleepiness.

Lang Ling flattened his frowns as if to appease him, and sighed silently.

He should have expected it a long time ago, everything in this world, once started, will continue uncontrollably like a wild horse running wild.In all fairness, this transaction is just a pure transaction for Cocklebur, and he can part ways with him after leaving the valley, but as far as he is concerned, after having such in-depth contact, it is bound to be difficult for him to regard this person as another. For strangers.

...It's really bad.

And I always feel that he is at a disadvantage.

Lang Ling was silent for a long time, and finally rubbed her temples with a headache.

That's all, let's take a step at a time.In any case, this Long Fog Valley is not a place where you can stay for a long time.

He sat up, put on his clothes, took out the bat's tooth, cut off a small part of the hem, poured two small bottles of water on it, simply wiped the cocklebur, and straightened his robes one by one .

Xanthium was still drowsy, let him toss about, quietly, as if he was just sleeping normally.It's just that she didn't know if she was guilty, Lang Ling always felt that the man's face was pale, and he didn't seem to be fine.

He thought for a while, then clasped Xanthi's wrist, wanting to release some internal energy for him, but he paused because of the touch in his hand.Touching the thin and thin section, he couldn't help pinching it, secretly surprised.

Compared with the first time he touched it, this severed wrist became so... so skinny in just a few days.

He touched it several times in disbelief.The protruding knuckles hurt his palm, if not for the soft touch, he almost thought he was holding a white bone.

Langling frowned, subconsciously checked the pulse of Xanthium, her face turned ugly.

This pulse is more than a little more disordered than before, and there are faint signs of collapse. If it is not carefully recuperated, it is not even known whether it will last until it goes out of the valley.

Sitting there, Langling was a little dazed, and for the first time felt something close to bewilderment in her heart.

Shouldn't be... shouldn't be?
