blues paradox

Lantiao Jianxiu did not object, pointing to the crimson enchantment behind him and said softly: "If you drip blood on the enchantment, it will recognize your identity and try its best to cooperate with your plan."

"Thank you." Hong Ji bowed respectfully to Lan Tuo and Xiu, then impatiently cut her fingers and squeezed the blood onto the barrier, the crimson barrier flashed a light yellow halo, and then quickly returned to normal.Without saying anything more, Hong Ji bowed deeply to the two of them again, then turned around and walked into the vast mist without hesitation.

"Father, to be honest, don't you think that Her Royal Highness has changed too quickly?" Looking at the woman's resolute back, Lan Tiao sneered slightly and spoke with great interest.

"Who knows, maybe innocence is her disguise?" Xiu said indifferently.There was no depression, no madness and despair, but she chose the simplest and darkest revenge without struggling. From this point of view, Hong Ji's changes are indeed very strange.But what does all this have to do with him?

"That's right. Anyway, it has nothing to do with us. Renqing should be the one who has a headache." Lan Tiao nodded in agreement, recalling that Renqing seemed to have a different affection for that princess. Heh, I don't know when he saw the princess in his heart. It must be interesting to see how the goddess would look like this, Blues tilted his head and thought irresponsibly.

In the room, the petite boy was sitting cross-legged by the window with his eyes closed, and a slit opened just enough to allow a trace of water-blue sky to pass through. It looked like a thin light blue ribbon was tied on the window frame. There is boundless silence outside the window, not even the slightest bird chirping and insect chirping can be heard, the silence is almost eerie.

This was already the third day since Mo Xiao left. Mo Xiao never came back, nor did he send any news back. He knew that this alliance was probably impossible.Of course, he didn't have much hope before coming here. The arrogance of Phoenix is ​​well known to everyone, maybe they have never classified themselves as monsters, let alone offered to help.So, when he received Mo Xiao's reply that he agreed to negotiate, he was so shocked, yes, shocked, but not too happy.But he still came with the promise, not so much because he believed in Mo Xiao's sincerity, but because he believed that Mo Xiao was trying to rely on their arrival. What about return?

"Arthur, how's the situation outside?" The boy opened his eyes, with a cold clarity and a very faint killing intent in his eyes.

"Phoenix Valley is almost in a mess. It seems to be searching for something with all its strength. There is no tendency to search here yet, but... I don't feel the breath of Mo Xiao. Also, there is a powerful but chaotic wave in the bamboo forest next to the temple. The magical power strongly interferes with my exploration and judgment, and my intuition tells me that it is very dangerous there." The tall, burly, even a bit fat man stood beside the boy and answered earnestly.

"Is it dangerous? It's a pity, what we're looking for seems to be in there." The boy said coldly, clenched his hands into fists, trying to suppress the bloodthirsty war that was about to boil from the bottom of his heart. Because of this burst of extreme endurance, there was a slight distortion and ferocity.No, not yet, he still has to be patient, he kept reminding himself in his heart, it’s not enough, it’s not enough, he really likes fighting, but that doesn’t mean he’s a lunatic who only knows how to fight, in fact, he clearly I clearly understand that the current self is not that person's opponent, that... unfathomable His Highness Xiu...

The young man closed his eyes fiercely, as if exhausting all his strength, and asked in an almost weak voice: "Arthur, if we go into that bamboo forest, what are the chances of you successfully avoiding that person?" ?”

"Brother means..." Arthur seemed to have some doubts, but he quickly realized that his brother's decision was absolutely unshakable by others, so he only sighed in a low voice before answering uncertainly, " Around [-]%, not more."

"Thirty percent... let's go, Arthur."

The boy opened his eyes, turned over and pushed open the half-covered window and jumped out. Arthur hurriedly dodged to keep up with his pace. His seemingly huge and bulky body was unexpectedly flexible and light, and he was always firmly following the boy about one meter behind him. The distance, quickly shuttles between the dense forests, as if two inseparable shadows are jumping in the forest, passing by in a flash, unable to catch.

Mu Ling and his group walked cautiously in the smoke, time was running out, she knew she had to find Hong Ji as soon as possible and bring them back to the cave, as time went by their mood became more and more difficult to calm down, as if there was something in their hearts It was just about to move, clamoring to spew out from the heart.

The sound of a sharp weapon piercing through the air came from the side of her ear, Mu Ling subconsciously turned her head and dodged, a short knife brushed against her cheek, drawing a thin bloodstain, and the hair hanging by her ear was neatly cut off , falling in the air, looming in the thick fog, as if paying homage to the crisis that existed just before.

"You guys are..." Mu Ling turned her head in amazement. Behind her, her few remaining companions were facing her with their weapons full of murderous intent. She never thought that such a day would come. She actually faced swords with those companions who could make her feel relieved to hand over her back.While she was in a daze, another sharp arrow came towards her chest, and she almost had no time to react. The fighting instinct made her dodge subconsciously, but she couldn't dodge because of the ropes tied around their waists. , could only slightly turn her body to avoid the heart, the long and sharp arrow pierced fiercely through her right shoulder blade, revealing only a small section of arrow tail with feathers.

Mu Ling regained her composure, no more hesitation, decisively cut off the rope around her waist, took advantage of the situation and took a few steps back to widen the distance between them.The smoke was too thick, and just taking a few steps back was enough to perfectly hide her figure in the smoke. Of course, there were also disadvantages in this way, at least she couldn't see the figures of those people now, and couldn't accurately judge what they were. Because of their location and their next move, they cannot prepare in advance to avoid or take the opportunity to counterattack.

Suddenly, the thick smoke seemed to be dispelled, and gradually became shallow and indifferent. The outline of the other party's figure was already vaguely visible. Only then did Mu Ling suddenly realize that there was a person standing behind him, and the sharp blade had almost reached the ground. Her waist and back couldn't help but feel cold. Before the other party could react, Mu Ling missed the sharp blade and chanted a short attack spell. Flowing out, soaking the ground under one's feet.

At this time, the smoke about ten meters around the body has been completely dissipated, and the situation of the opposing sides is clearly visible.Only then did Mu Ling see clearly the blankness and emptiness in the eyes of those people, obviously they were controlled.Because those people are still connected to a rope, the suddenly fallen corpse has increased their burden and slightly weakened their attack speed. In addition, they are currently unconscious and unable to cooperate well. On the contrary, a rope restricted their actions to a certain extent.

"Oh, so it's puppetry? And I haven't noticed anything strange yet. The legendary His Highness Xiu is really powerful." Mu Ling raised the corners of his lips and smiled coldly, wiping the blood overflowing from the corners of his lips. The tone is yin and yang, and it is impossible to tell whether it is a compliment or a sarcasm.Now she has some doubts about whether she also has the blood of the prophet, and it is really a wise decision to let them be tied to a rope.

Since it is a puppet technique, it definitely means that these companions can still be saved. Therefore, Mu Ling did not use magic that is too lethal, but took the opportunity to use some magic such as stun spell and petrification spell, which did not consume much magic power. , the incantations in the early stage can also be omitted. Although it is inevitable to suffer some injuries, it is not serious, and they will all be brought down in a short time.

Panting and walking to the side of several people, Mu Ling took out some food and water bags from the bag and put them beside them, and left a code word, after they woke up, the puppet technique should also fail, when they saw the ground The code word on the screen naturally knows to go back, I hope they can leave safely, you know, Phoenix Valley may not be able to spare any extra power to find them.

Mu Ling didn't rush on his way, but sat on the ground with the green bamboo beside him, gritted his teeth and pulled out the arrow that passed through his shoulder blade, and cast a simple hemostatic spell and healing spell on himself, then quietly stayed aside and meditated, quickly Restore your physical strength and magic power.When she first entered this fog, she tried to use magic to disperse the dense fog, but it had no effect at all. From this, it can be seen that the dispersal of the smoke during the fight just now was definitely not a mere coincidence. The fog itself does not have the ability to think, so the only explanation is Man-made manipulation, obviously, someone hid in the dark and single-handedly manipulated everything just now.

After almost recovering, the surrounding smoke has gathered again. After confirming the direction, Mu Ling continued to move forward. This time, she was alone, without many scruples. With her rich experience and fighting instinct, she narrowly avoided several traps. , the speed is much faster than before.Suddenly, she stopped, looked around cautiously, and whispered with a sneer: "Please come out, Your Highness the Princess."

"Good day, Elder Mu."

The smoke gradually became thinner, and a girl in a black robe could be vaguely seen approaching step by step, like a fairy who came on the clouds, but there was a fierce and persistent murderous aura lingering around her.

"Is this the real Your Highness the Princess?" Mu Ling looked at the girl in front of her through the faint smoke, and rarely cared about the title she didn't like.The thin smog prevented each other from seeing their faces clearly, but the aura around them was completely different from a few days ago, becoming gloomy and tyrannical, full of cold death.

"No, it should be said that thanks to the blessings of the elders, I made a deal with the devil with my soul." Hong Ji said, her tone was indifferent, as if she was just discussing a trivial matter. The corners of his lips curled up, revealing a pervasive and distorted smile.

"I didn't expect Her Royal Highness to have fallen to this point." Mu Ling pretended to shake her head regretfully. Suddenly, a persistent and firm light burst out from her eyes. She changed the topic, her voice was no longer gentle and graceful, and her voice became more ruthless. , she said slowly: "However... Her Royal Highness, everything is destined to be dedicated to the Phoenix Valley, whether it is your body, blood, or... your soul."

"If you can get it." No longer wasting time, Hong Ji's figure suddenly flashed, and she gradually disappeared, and the fog became dense again.Mu Ling held the dagger and waited cautiously. It seems that she guessed right just now, the mist is indeed controlled by someone. According to this, has Princess Hongji reached an agreement with His Royal Highness Xiu and the others?Mu Ling's heart sank, it seemed that Princess Hongji had to be captured quickly to avoid complications.
