Chapter 1213 Shell
The death energy in the forest was extremely terrifying. Even with the protection of insect shells and the body protection of Guyuan Dan, Hao Youxiao still felt the slightest bit of coldness covering her body surface, drilling deeper along her pores and veins.
Not only that, the clothes on her body were gradually losing their luster. If it weren't for the carefully crafted protective robes, ordinary clothes would have withered to the ground long ago.
In contrast, Green Girl's condition was much better, and she looked like she was just having nothing to do while strolling around. Only by looking carefully can you find that her body surface will flicker with an almost imperceptible soft light from time to time. This is the brilliance that bursts out when the permeated death energy and vitality meet and are annihilated. The source of vitality is her. Countless poisonous insects have just been taken into the body.
Using the vitality of poisonous insects as consumables to die for herself, Green Girl's method is simple and crude, but also extremely effective. If the venomous snakes and insects around her hadn't died cleanly along with other living creatures, she could even rely on this method to survive here without worrying about her life at all.
After being fed half a Guyang Pill by Hao Youxiao, Santiao, who was not in danger for the time being, still huddled in Hao Youxiao's arms, refusing to come out except for occasionally having to step forward to guide him in the direction.
It is extremely inconsistent with its nature and principles to take risks personally. If it hadn't been directed at Li Chuyi, and if the scary insect-eating woman next to it hadn't secretly glanced at it with even more terrifying eyes, it would have been outside the dead forest long ago. If it turns around and runs away, even if you beat it to death, it won't follow.
Even now, it was not willing to show the way. The strange woman kept staring at it with a half-smile, and it even buried its head and refused to let it go. It had no choice but to do this.
At this moment, Sanjou missed Xiao Erhei very much. The big black dog also bullied it but would not kill it. The strange woman next to it was different. The sensitive Sanjou could clearly feel the faint murderous intention hidden in her half-smiling eyes.
She was sure that as long as it dared to show any sign of disapproval, she would swallow it immediately. Just like the poisonous insects she swallowed, she would never care whether Hao Youxiao agreed or not.
In any case, the dead forest is getting deeper and deeper, and the surrounding scenery is becoming more and more gray.
The dead trees that were originally relatively dense became increasingly sparse, leaving only wood ash all over the ground telling their former existence. The dead leaves on the ground are becoming more and more fragile, and even the breeze brought by walking can cause them to collapse into ashes, raising wisps of gray-white dust.
By the end, even the ground beneath the dead leaves lost its vitality. The originally solid ground turned into fine dust, and when one stepped on it, there was no force. If one was caught off guard, one could sink completely, just like quicksand.
In the quicksand, the two found many incomplete skeletons, one of which even made Lv Gu scream out in surprise, because it was none other than the remains of a ghostly baby snake with five heads.
The five-headed ghost infant snake is almost a fairy beast. Such existences are extremely rare even in the depths of the eternal rainforest. Unexpectedly, I encountered one here, and it died tragically here. Not even a complete skeleton was left. Down.
Stepping forward to investigate, Green Girl's eyes became more solemn.
The five-headed ghost infant snake did not die from injuries. Judging from the bones, it did not even suffer the slightest injury. The cause of its death was that someone had forcibly extracted all the blood and vitality from its whole body. Even the most solid bones could not be left even if the extraction was done to the extreme. All the flesh, blood and some bones of the whole body were turned into fly ash, leaving only The hardest part of the bones became something like a stubborn stone and survived.
Can a five-headed ghost infant be squeezed into this...
Green Girl looked at Hao Youxiao with a worried look in her eyes.
Hao Youxiao understood her eyes, smiled and shook his head gently.
"He won't hurt me."
"It's not whether he knows it, but whether he can control it!"
Sighing, Green Girl pointed to the way she came.
"Look here, what you see along the way only shows one thing. For some reason, he is extremely eager for life. He is so eager that he may have lost his mind. He even infected his fingers with things like five ghosts and infants. . No, no, he didn’t think so, but he didn’t know it at all. He was already out of his mind! The road went straight to the west, without any twists and turns. He was obviously walking with an obsession, absorbing information along the way. Take advantage of all the vitality you can encounter, regardless of type!"
"This ghost baby snake may have been found by himself, or he may have encountered it by chance. In any case, he obviously did not realize the gap between them. The first reaction of a reasonably rational person when encountering this object would definitely be Even if you have the right to run away, you will take it seriously. You will never let him attack you without even dodging, and you won't even fight back. "
Holding Hao Youxiao's shoulders, Green Girl said seriously: "My child, it is very likely that he has really lost his mind. He may not recognize you if you go there now. No one is willing to do something tragic again." have witnessed."
After a moment of silence, Hao Youxiao smiled slightly and shook his head gently.
"No, I believe him."
"This is not a question of whether you believe it or not! Look at Li Sinian, a demon in his heart made him disown all his relatives. Li Chuyi's situation is probably even more serious than him. You..."
"Even if that happens, I'm going to go and see it."
Looking at the road ahead, Hao Youxiao's eyes were determined.
"I was not with him when he was appointed as the crown prince. Even if I have a thousand excuses, I can't shirk my regret. This time I didn't plan to leave him again. It doesn't matter whether he lives or dies, even if he really kills me, I don't care. Because I know that it's not him, he won't hurt me, and I will help him find himself, even if I die, it's my decision, I won't regret it."
"If you die because of this, what's the point of waking him up? He will be sad, and you still can't be together, so it's meaningless!"
"No point?"
With a slight smile, Hao Youxiao asked: "Master, if you know now that godfather is not dead but trapped, if no one rescues him, he will die, and you are only half sure to save him, and the result of failure is your own death, what will you do?"
Lu Gu was silent.
The answer is yes.
Let alone half sure, even if she is not sure, she will go, just to win a glimmer of life for the one she loves.
Intellectually, this idea is stupid.
There is hope only when one is alive. It is foolish to go when one knows that he will die. It is better to keep one's life and avenge him.
But emotionally, this idea is very understandable, and even many people admire and praise it.
If you can't live together, at least you can die together. Knowing that your lover is suffering but not rescuing him, blindly looking back and forth to do the so-called "plan before acting", until he dies and then regrets it, crying and shouting and continuing to plan revenge, how much more meaningful is this than being stupid?
For national affairs, this is no good. But for the love between children, this approach is often difficult to accept.
Compared with men, women are often more emotional, such as Hao Youxiao and Lu Gu.
At the beginning, Li Chuyi fell from the sky in the square of Taixu Palace, let the dog commit murder to help Hao Youxiao rescue, and personally killed a person to vent Hao Youxiao's anger. No matter what his purpose was or what basis he had, for Hao Youxiao, this was the sweetest thing and an indelible and precious memory.
Now Li Chuyi is in trouble, and she can't accept it and can't accept it if she hides aside and watches silently.
Just like she said, she has to go and see whether he lives or dies, even if the final result is death, as long as there is a possibility that she can help Li Chuyi, it is worth it.
This is her persistence and her understanding of love.
It is difficult to tell the true heart in wealth and wealth, and true love is revealed in adversity.
She has missed it once, and this time she will stay with him no matter what.
She was persuaded instead of persuading. Lu Gu felt funny, sighed softly and patted Hao Youxiao, and finally said nothing.
Although she is not a child apprentice, Hao Youxiao's temperament is so suitable for her, which is extremely rare.
Cursing the master and the apprentice, Li Chuyi is as "evil" as his master. Lu Gu took a step ahead and blocked Hao Youxiao tightly behind her.
Stepping on the dead ashes on the ground, the two kept moving forward. Suddenly, three heads popped out and screamed, then retracted their heads and only showed one eye to quietly explore. Without its size, the master and apprentice had already discovered the abnormality in front.
On the small earthen slope higher than the two of them, a figure half-knelt on the ground.
The man had his back to them, and it was hard to believe that it was the chubby Li Chuyi with his thin back, but Hao Youxiao still recognized him at a glance.
"Chu..."
"Shh!"
Just as he was about to call, he was held down by Lu Gu.
Staring intently, his mind quietly probed out. After a moment, Lu Gu was slightly startled, frowning and strode over.
Feeling that the master's face was not right, Hao Youxiao's heart was immediately in turmoil. As Feichen approached quickly, Hao Youxiao finally found out what was wrong after seeing Li Chuyi up close.
No breath.
Not the breath of a living person, not even the breath of death, as if the person sitting there was just an empty shell instead of a person, no different from the stone next to it.
"What's going on?"
Hao Youxiao's eyes immediately turned red, but Lu Gu waved her hand and pointed forward.
"Go ahead and take a look."
Going around to the front, Hao Youxiao quickly covered her mouth and almost screamed.
She finally knew why Li Chuyi looked like an empty shell, because it was not like, it was an empty shell.
The back half of the body was intact, but the upper part of the front half drooped down, and something drilled out from it, leaving only a useless molt on the spot.
"This...how did you do this?!"
Hao Youxiao was a little confused.
If she didn't know that Li Chuyi was indeed a human, she would definitely suspect that Li Chuyi was a demon who knew how to shed snake skin.
"Let's go, keep looking forward, I want to see what kind of monster that kid is!"
Waving her hand, Lu Gu took the lead.
The two continued to walk for a while, and found several more molts in succession. Each molt was a little wider than the previous one, as if Li Chuyi's body size was constantly increasing.
"It seems that boy has good food!"
When they were about to walk out of the dead forest and see the last remains, Lu Gu smiled with interest and said, "I have seen fat people, but this is the first time I have seen one that got fat so quickly. Is that boy a ball?"
Hao Youxiao was immediately amused, and her nervous mood was slightly relieved, but when she saw something in her peripheral vision, her heart was instantly lifted again.
Rotten gourd.
