Chapter 82 Dog Bells

From the moment the bell started ringing, Liu Ruyun noticed that Wang Ji had been staring at it.

If it wasn't for Liu Ruyun's voice to stop him, he might have seen a hole in the bell in his hand.Liu Ruyun patted him on the shoulder, "Be careful, there is something coming up ahead."

Wang Ji put the bell back into her arms and cast her eyes forward.

The visitor was not a man, but a dog.It was an ordinary brown clay dog, with its ears draped softly, staring at the two in silence.

Liu Ruyun took the initiative to take a few steps towards the dog, holding a long and thick branch in his hand, and tentatively tapped the brown dog on the head.

The brown dog whimpered and lay down on the ground, not daring to move.

Liu Ruyun couldn't do it anymore, "It's probably a domestic dog, more relatives." He knelt down and rubbed the brown dog's head, "Little guy, can you show us the way out?"

The brown dog stood up quickly and ran forward.Seeing that the two people behind did not follow up immediately, it yelled anxiously.

"Come on." Liu Ruyun followed with strides.

The brown dog turned a few corners and brought them to a small green forest.

As soon as Wang Ji and Liu Ruyun entered, they felt a long-lost coolness.

Liu Ruyun was very happy. He touched his pocket and found that there was nothing to give the brown dog, so he could only pat its head as a reward.

Wang Ji looked at the ground under her feet, there were obvious traces of someone trampling on it. "I'm afraid this is someone's territory."

Just as he finished speaking, a delicate female voice came from between the trees. "Jiujiu, come here."

The brown dog looked nervous, and it let out a disturbed howl, and its tail stood on end.

"Are you also a person who came to practice?" Liu Ruyun happily shouted towards the source of the sound.In his perception, one more partner is more security.

"Hehe, that's right."

She didn't say a word, and the surrounding leaves began to tremble violently.Wang Ji clenched her sword tightly, "If that's the case, come out and show your face."

The woman giggled, shaking all the leaves to rustle.Before all the leaves were shaken off by her laughter, she finally had enough of laughing. "Look at the upper left corner."

On a thick branch, Liu Ruyun saw a face. Two huge holes formed her eyes. Those strange eyes stared at them motionlessly. Whenever she spoke, there were dark green eyes. Juice flowed from her mouth like venom from a poisonous snake.

Liu Ruyun threw the thick and long branch in his hand towards the dryad's left eye, and the dryad yelled in pain, "None of you are going to leave today." Then, the whole forest trembled.

Branches with thorns kept hitting them, and if they were not careful, they would be hit.Wang Ji glanced at the original exit. The vegetation there was growing rapidly and would be completely blocked in a short time.

Liu Ruyun shouted to Wang Ji, "I'll block it here, don't let her block the exit."

Wang Ji hurried to the exit, he swung his sword very fast, and within a short while, he made a big opening.

"Ah..." Liu Ruyun screamed, his right hand was hit by a sharp branch.His movements were significantly slower, and branches kept scratching his body.

Before falling down, Liu Ruyun took a last look at the original exit. The bright sunlight shone from outside, bringing a glint of hope, but it was a pity that he couldn't get out.

Suddenly a huge force lifted him up from the ground, Liu Ruyun looked at Wang Ji in surprise, "Why are you back?"

"You are so useless." Wang Ji held him with one hand, and blocked the flying branches with the other.

Liu Ruyun said dejectedly, "The exit seems to be blocked."

"Yeah, I suddenly regret saving you."

……

At this time, the brown dog suddenly barked, as if calling for Wang Ji eagerly.

Liu Ruyun said, "Does it have something to tell us?"

Wang Ji said, "It's the tree demon's dog, why is it helping us?"

"Just take it as a gamble for myself. If it doesn't work...you can leave me alone."

They all understand that going on like this for a long time is not an option.No matter how good Wang Ji's physical strength is, there will be times when she will be exhausted.

The brown dog barked even more vigorously when he saw the two approaching.Wang Ji pushed aside the layers of branches, and found a little flower bud in a hidden place.

The flower buds are off-white, only the size of a fingernail, and are easily overlooked.

After the dryad found out their position, they were visibly agitated, and the sharp branches frantically attacked Wang Ji like dense raindrops.

In the dodging room, Wang Ji had to get farther and farther away from there.He had to take care of the injured Liu Ruyun while also guarding against the attack of the tree demon, so he gradually lost his strength.

"Now, I'm afraid I really have to gamble."

After speaking, his sword came out of his hand, drawing a beautiful arc in the air.In an instant, the delicate flower stems were easily cut off.

The branch that was about to attack suddenly stopped in mid-air, and then fell down quickly.

"Looks like we won the bet."

Wang Ji put Liu Ruyun on the ground,

The brown dog held a few faint green leaves in its mouth, and gently covered Liu Ruyun's injured part.Liu Ruyun's wound immediately felt a burst of burning coolness.

"I want to take this dog away." Liu Ruyun said quietly.

Wang Ji said, "Whatever you want."

Considering that Liu Ruyun was injured, the two rested in the shade for a while.

Liu Ruyun said with lingering fear, "You were so bold just now, you just flew out your only weapon. What if you made a wrong bet?"

Wang Ji wiped the blood stains on her clothes, "I should use you as a shield to block it for a while, and then go pick up the sword and continue fighting."

……

Liu Ruyun closed his eyes, he didn't want to talk to Wang Ji, otherwise he would burst his wounds with anger.

Spots of sunlight shone through the shade of the tree, and Wang Ji took out the bell from her arms again. Under the sunlight, the bell shone like a golden light, which was really beautiful.

Wang Ji knew that she had indeed made a risky bet just now.Had his sword been thrown off course by a branch on the way, he was not sure he would have escaped the Dryad's next attack.

He hated the feeling of pinning his hopes on the unknown and the unknown.

At the moment when the bell rang, he heard what Bing Ke said very clearly.What he said was:

Lin Yi is back.He wants to see you.Don't regret not coming.

For the first time in his life, he hesitated to meet Lin Yi, and this emotion became more and more obvious.

He wanted to see Lin Yi.There is no doubt about it.

But what if you see it?With his current strength, he still can't stop Lin Yi from leaving again.

Liu Ruyun was half asleep and half awake, and he heard the crisp ringing of the bell again in a daze.

He opened his eyes and saw that this time it was Wang Ji who was shaking the bell with her hands.

"What are you doing? Didn't you see the wounded resting?"

Wang Ji ignored him, and now he focused all his attention on the little bell in his hand.Finally, Liu Ruyun heard Wang Ji speak, but not to herself.

"I see. I don't want to see you."

Then, the ringing of the bell stopped, and the world fell into silence again.

Liu Ruyun said curiously, "Hey, who are you talking to with the bell?"

"Did you say this bell?" Wang Ji spread her hands and presented the bell to Liu Ruyun. Without the sunlight, the bell looked dim.

"I've wanted to ask for a long time. Last time you jumped into the river because of this bell, and today you have been staring at the bell like a demon. What's so special about this bell?"

Wang Ji smiled coldly, "It's just an ordinary thing."

"I don't believe it. Let me see, it's probably given to you by your sweetheart, and that's why you've been reluctant to part with it?"

Speaking of her sweetheart, Lin Yi's beautiful face flashed in Wang Ji's mind, but it disappeared quickly.Wang Ji handed the bell in her hand to Liu Ruyun, "If you don't believe me, I'll give this to you."

"Really?" Liu Ruyun cast a half-believing glance at Wang Ji, and put the bell into her palm happily.

He cheerfully called the brown dog to his side, and solemnly tied the bell around its neck, "From now on, I will be your master."

The brown dog ran a few steps and howled happily when he heard the crisp bell on his neck.
