blues paradox

Since the arrival of Naxiu and Lantiao, the two bamboo houses near the temple have been shrouded in thick smoke all day long.Although the Phoenix Valley was already filled with faint smoke, which was a symbol of the place where the magic power gathered, the phoenixes more or less had a certain degree of adaptability and resistance to the smoke.However, there is really no comparison between the two, at least that's what Mu Ling thinks at the moment.

All the people in the Phoenix Valley were dispatched to investigate the whereabouts of Princess Hongji and Renqing, but there was nothing to be gained except for finding a few monsters that sneaked in and couldn't transform into human form. The magic power needed to start the formation is just a drop in the bucket. Right now, Princess Hongji is the only hope. She must be found within three days. This is a necessary condition for starting the magic formation again. Otherwise, we can only wait until the next sacrifice. When the time comes, the waiting time is too long, and the Phoenix Valley can no longer afford to consume it.

What's even more sad is that the position of the sacrifice cannot be replaced by any phoenix with profound magic power. As for why it must be Hongji, the candidate for the sacrifice was determined on the day the magic circle was established. It was recorded, otherwise, why would she have to find a Phoenix Valley princess who was likely to be deliberately hidden and protected in a fog that lost a lot of Phoenix Valley elites?

"Ah! Help!" There was another scream not far away, the smoke was so thick that Mu Ling couldn't see what happened not far away, and the twenty or so subordinates who brought him were only left around. There are so many around.

The unknown and unpredictable are always uncontrollable fears. No one knows what happened to those dead companions, because once they uttered such a miserable scream, when they approached to rescue them, they were already unable to recover. , there is no way to get any useful information.They didn't know what kind of dangers lay in the smoke, so they couldn't discuss how to avoid these dangers.So they could only gather together as much as possible, taking every step cautiously, as if every step they took was stepping on the tip of a knife.

Two people were still trying to rush towards the place where the distress call came out. They had done this behavior countless times in this short day, running eagerly, and then desperately found that their companions had already lost their breath.But they still want to do this, for a rescue goal that is impossible to achieve, they still stubbornly choose to run and hope, always thinking in their hearts, maybe this one is still alive?Maybe we can save him in time?Therefore, this has become a reflexive action, and they don't even want to waste the time of thinking. Perhaps it is because of the few seconds they hesitated that they missed the last chance for treatment?

"No, there's no need to go any further." Mu Ling stretched out her hand to stop her subordinates. The population of Phoenix Valley is thin. If possible, she would also like to rescue those phoenixes who are in distress. But the premise is if possible, and now, they obviously There is no such power and opportunity, so there is no need to run over to investigate, or to be lucky.

"Please, my lord, let us go and see, maybe they are still alive?"

"No, my lord, we can't just give up like this, they are not very far away, we will definitely be able to rescue them, they are all our companions, they are the pride of our Phoenix clan, my lord!"

"Yes, my lord, you should think about it again, you can't just ignore death, they are all noble phoenixes!"

Seeing Mu Ling's obstruction, the surrounding subordinates begged one after another.In fact, it is their duty to obey orders, but people are not grass and trees, and no one can be ruthless. The demons are no exception, and so are the phoenixes.In the countless transitions between hope and despair, they always hold a kind of luck that is almost naive. Maybe they are still alive?Maybe we can save them a little faster?

But Muling is different. The reason why she became an elder of Phoenix Valley is not only because of her strength. One of them is an existence with brains and wisdom. When Phoenix Valley is facing the great danger of life and death, what's the point of letting go of prejudice?Mu Ling couldn't help sighing softly, and then gritted his teeth a little bit, maybe Renqing was the only exception among them, he knew that the magic circle was the only hope for Phoenix Valley, yet he even cooperated with foreigners to destroy it, he Are you so eager to see the end of Phoenix Valley? !

However, she couldn't get excited now, she couldn't rush forward to beat Ren Qing severely, she couldn't even show a trace of impatience.Yes, can't, not won't.Now, the life of the entire team is in her hands alone. They, including herself, can die and be sacrificed, and the most important thing right now is to catch Princess Hongji, so she can only force herself to harden her heart , don't look back, don't rescue, don't ask, they just need to move forward now, and then break through the smoke.

Moving forward is their only direction.

So Mu Ling stood up to stop them, and she said in a cold, almost heartless voice: "There is no need to go, they have already sacrificed, you are the elite of the Phoenix Valley, you are the hope of the Phoenix Valley, please don't forget your own Responsibilities and tasks. For the future of Phoenix Valley... don't look back!"

Mu Ling is a woman, even a woman with heavy makeup and seductive clothes; but she is also a warrior, a warrior who would rather give her life to defend her homeland.

The atmosphere of silence spread here. No one spoke, but it was not dead silent. Everyone worked hard in their hearts and kept suppressing the feeling of wanting to help their companions. Yes, they are fighters, and they are for the Phoenix. Warriors who fight for the future of the valley, so they have no willful rights and no qualifications to question.

"My lord, please move on, time is running out." They said this with firm and persistent eyes, but how many people know that their hearts must be dripping with blood at this moment, which is terrible? !

"Yes, we can only move forward!" Mu Ling nodded, trying her best not to reveal even a trace of emotion, she, the fairy, shouldered everyone's lives, and could not tolerate any danger that had to be faced because of emotions.She raised her hand slightly, and a rope with a pink halo appeared in her hand. She raised her chin and said proudly and firmly: "We are not allowed to disperse now, even if we are in danger again, we may only be left with annihilation." It's the same, now, everyone tie the rope around their waists one by one, hurry up!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Her subordinates answered loudly and enthusiastically, as if they could show their determination and courage in this way. This way of deceiving themselves, or should be said to be the self-confidence that sees death as home, is still applicable no matter in that time and space, and the effect is remarkable. .

They tied the ropes one by one, and Mu Ling walked in the front, carefully releasing magic power to explore the situation ahead.Because the eyes are invisible, they need strong perception and intuition. Fortunately, as far as a woman is concerned, this talent is good, even if this woman is a phoenix.

I walked another distance, probably because of Muling, this time there were no deaths or disappearances, and only encountered a large monster on the way, which was not too difficult for Muling , so the journey along the way can be said to be extremely peaceful, and even safer than the previous situation. Everyone can't help letting go of the high-hanging heart, and at the same time regained a certain degree of self-confidence.In fact, it can be said that they have already glimpsed the possible dangers in the mist, such as that magical beast.Although this bit of information may not be very useful, or it is useless at all, but at least the fog at this time is no longer as mysterious as before, and naturally it will not be too depressing. I have to say, this is really It's a good sign.

"My lord, it doesn't look too scary."

"That's right, it's just a low-level monster. It's as noble and powerful as our phoenix."

They said with a light smile, but their faces were still pale, Mu Ling understood that these were just excuses and words of comfort.So she didn't point it out, just smiled ostentatiously, and said confidently: "That's true, in fact, there is no danger, is there? Now everyone stay where they are for a while, and continue on our way later."

"Yes!"

Mu Ling watched everyone sitting close together in twos and threes, but always felt that it was difficult to calm down.In fact, if it was just a monster of that level, how could it cause such a large number of casualties?How many secrets and dangers are there in this fog that they don't know about?She knew that the danger was not far away...
