lucky to meet

, but what is there in him that is worthy of his use?

"Let's go, brother Yu, I've rested." Xia Yi found a wooden stick and used it as a crutch.

The woods became more and more difficult to walk, Xia Yi felt uncomfortable all over, and really wanted to take a bath, going crazy...

He really wanted to press Zhou Yuyu to the ground and beat him up, but he couldn't...

"Hmm!" There seemed to be a voice, Xia Yi stopped and listened carefully, and it seemed that there was a voice, "Brother Yu, there seems to be someone in front."

Zhou Mingyu nodded, "Go and have a look."

The two quickened their pace.A big tree in front blocked the view, and the sound came intermittently.

"Xiaoying, Xiaoying, wake up, wake up, don't scare me!"

Xia Yi's heart tightened, he crossed the big tree, and saw two teenagers in front of him, kneeling and lying down.The boy's thoughts were all on the people lying on the ground, and he didn't notice Xia Yi approaching them.

"let me see!"

The boy was startled, he pulled out his dagger reflexively, and was about to stab him.

Xia Yi felt a silver light flash before his eyes, and before he could react, the boy's hand was grabbed.The young man grunted in pain, and the dagger fell to the ground.

Xia Yi looked at the dagger on the ground and was speechless for a while, this child is so cruel...

Zhou Mingyu let go of the boy's hand, stood up straight and said, "He's fine, he just passed out."

The boy looked at Xia Yi, then at Zhou Mingyu, and stammered, "I, I, yes, I'm sorry, I, I didn't mean it."

Xia Yi said to the young man, "It's okay, it's normal to have this kind of reaction in this kind of place." After confirming that there was no wound on the young man on the ground, he continued, "What's going on?"

The young man glanced at Zhou Mingyu. This man's aura was suppressed, making people afraid to look directly at him.The big brother who was squatting in front of him looked much more friendly, the young man asked cautiously, "My brother, is he really alright?"

Xia Yi glanced at Zhou Mingyu, nodded and said, "He said your brother fainted, so he must have fainted."

After speaking, he looked at Zhou Mingyu again, just about to ask him what to do?Zhou Mingyu said lightly, "Give him some water."

"Cough, cough" The young man lying on the ground coughed twice, slowly opened his eyes, and called softly, "Brother."

Xia Yi told him to lean against the tree and not to move around, and when he recovered, he was talking, and then fed him water.

The standing boy suddenly knelt down towards them and cried, "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you benefactor."

Zhou Mingyu was indifferent, Xia Yi hurriedly pulled him up, took out a handkerchief to help him wipe his tears, "Don't cry, your brother just passed out, even without us, he will wake up when the time comes."

The boy shook his head, disagreed with what he said, and sniffed.

"Can you tell me what's going on now?" Xia Yi pulled the man to the side of the tree, let him sit down, and looked at their clothes, rough cloth clothes, cloth pants, straw sandals, and several patches on the clothes and pants.He is very thin, but his eyes are bright. Xia Yi felt distressed when he saw it. He handed him the water bottle and asked him to drink while talking.

The boy drank water, looked at the boy leaning on the tree and said, "My name is Ling Xia, he is my brother, his name is Ling Ying, I am 14 years old, my brother is two years younger than me, our family is in Gucun, my father I passed away when I was nine years old. My mother fell ill a few days ago, and my brother and I went into the mountains to look for herbs, and we got the medicine. My brother was happy, so he went to climb a tree to play, and accidentally fell down and knocked his head. I thought, scared Kill me." Ling Xia squeezed the water bottle in his hand, his knuckles turned white.

Xia Yi thought in his heart, this child is sincere and has explained everything about his family clearly.

Xia Yi patted him, "It's okay, it's all over, my brother is young and loves to make trouble, this time also taught him a lesson."

Ling Ying felt the strength in his whole body come back a little, lowered his head and said, "Brother, I'm sorry."

Ling Xia patted his head, "Thank you benefactor quickly."

"Thank you, thank you benefactor." Ling Ying has big eyes and is very cute, but she is too thin.

Xia Yi shook his head and smiled at Ling Ying, not explaining, the benefactor is really not counted, he will wake up sooner or later.

It's getting dark, it's not safe to walk at night, Ling Xia is familiar with this place, he told Xia Yi that he often comes to this forest to hunt small wild animals, and occasionally his younger brother will come with him.

He looked at Xia Yi's clothes, envious, "The benefactor lives in the city, that's great!" As he spoke, he led them to a small stream.The creek is very shallow, and the deepest part reaches the knees of adults

8. Shadow

Xia Yi put down the small burden and said, "I'll go pick up some branches to light the fire." Ling Xia followed him and went with him.

On the way, Ling Xia secretly told Xia Yi that the other benefactor looked a little scary.Xia Yi told him that you can't just judge people by their appearance, you have to get along with them to know.He joked with him, "You have to be defensive, but you can't draw a dagger at every turn, it's too scary."

Ling Xia scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I'm sorry benefactor, I, I, I..."

Xia Yi smiled and said, "I know, let's go, it's almost done."

When I returned to the stream, I found that Zhou Mingyu was not there, so I should have gone to find something to eat.Xia Yi thought to himself, quite consciously.

A child is a child, Ling Ying has recovered and is playing in the water by the stream.

After setting up the fire, Zhou Mingyu also came back.Throwing two little beasts to Ling Xia, the two brothers dragged the little beasts to the stream to deal with their fur and internal organs.

Looking at the creek, Xia Yi felt much more refreshed, so she decided to go downriver and take a bath.

Glancing at Zhou Mingyu, he saw that he was resting with his eyes closed. The firelight reflected his facial features, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances. He's so handsome...

A burst of meaty smell made several people's stomachs uneasy, "Okay, benefactor, you can eat." Ling Xia handed the fattest one to Xia Yi.

Xia Yi took it, and distributed the two beast legs to the two brothers respectively. The two brothers refused to take it, and looked at Zhou Mingyu. They had a natural sense of fear towards Zhou Mingyu.

"Eat, I will share the rest with him. You are growing up, so you should eat more." Seeing that they still didn't answer, Xia Yi changed his face instantly, "Eat quickly."

The two brothers took it, tilted their heads, and ate silently, not talking.Xia Yi thought it was scaring them, "What's the matter, did I scare you, I did it on purpose just now!"

Ling Ying put down the animal meat and whispered, "Except for my parents, no one has treated us so well." He wiped his eyes as he spoke.

Xia Yi said warmly, "Eat quickly."

Xia Yi had mixed feelings in his heart. In his previous life, although his family situation was not very good, his mother never made him suffer.This life, let alone, was born with a golden key in its mouth.

The three of them ate the animal meat silently. Zhou Mingyu opened his eyes and looked at the people on the other side of the fire.The young man didn't know what he was thinking, he lowered his eyes, probably feeling his gaze, and looked back.

Xia Yi felt that Zhou Mingyu was looking at him, looking back, but there was no such thing, was it an illusion?

After Xia Yi finished eating, she took a small bundle, said something softly to the two brothers, and then walked down the stream.

It's almost far away, right here!He took off his clothes, sat in the water, and couldn't help but groan.It's still comfortable to take a bath, but I feel uncomfortable all over my body because of the sticky sweat in the past two days.

In the water behind his back, a shadow slowly condensed, and the shadow scattered into several black lines in the water, drilling towards Xia Yi.

Xia Yi rubbed and washed her body. At this moment, she felt that life was beautiful. The only bad thing was that there was no shower gel. She laughed at herself and shook her head twice.

A black thread ran along the back of his neck and wound it around his neck in a weak circle, and suddenly tightened, dragging him into the water, and several black shadows pierced into his mouth, ears and nose respectively.

Xia Yi felt his neck tighten, and was dragged into the water in the next second.The water is not deep but enough to be suffocating.Before he reacted, his mouth, ears, and nose were drilled by something.

Xia Yi desperately wanted to splash the water, hoping to attract Zhou Mingyu's attention.His body became tighter and tighter, and his hands and feet were tightly fixed.

Looks like I'm going to die here...

Consciousness began to sink, pupils slowly dilated, and the last thought was that death must be ugly, Zhou Mingyu saw it, would she be disgusted...

Suddenly he let go and was pulled up from the water.As soon as Xia Yi came into contact with the fresh air, he coughed violently.

When he regained his consciousness, he found that it was Zhou Mingyu. He was supporting himself with one hand, and with the other he was pinching something that looked like black air.

The lump seemed frightened, and although he couldn't see it, he felt it.

Zhou Mingyu looked at him, the two of them were facing each other, very close to each other.Ling Xialing should hear the sound, and ran towards this side, Zhou Mingyu turned his head and said, "Put on your clothes."

Xia Yi's face turned red, and he turned around to get dressed, not daring to look at him, after getting dressed, the two Ling Xia brothers also arrived.

Zhou Mingyu shook his head, motioning for them to go back and talk.

The four returned to the fire, Xia Yi looked at the black shadow in front of him, this thing almost killed him.

"Brother Yu, what is this?"

"This is a shadow, a puppet made from the soul of a shadow beast. It is usually used for assassination."

"You mean, someone is going to kill me?" Xia Yi asked.

There is no reason to be assassinated in the Demon Race!He just came!If it was in the human race, he would definitely believe it.

"Probably not. This thing relies on soul and blood essence to cultivate. It should be released by its owner to find food."

It seemed to be an accident, but he just felt sick at the thought of this thing drilling into him.

"Brother Yu, what should I do with this thing?" Xia Yi rubbed his throat with lingering fear.

Zhou Mingyu watched his hands touch her neck back and forth, the image of being naked in the creek just now flashed in her mind, and she rolled down her throat subconsciously.

Seeing that he was in a daze, Xia Yi thought he was embarrassing what to do with this thing, and said, "Brother Yu, is it difficult?"

Zhou Mingyu raised the black shadow in front of his eyes, his eyes flashed fiercely, and with a little effort in his hand, the black shadow spread out and disappeared quickly.

Xia Yi
