Under the broken candles and broken trees, the forest was in a mess. A young man covered in blood was pinned to the ground by a big tree half a man thick. The trunk was covered with dead trees and debris... The young man lay motionless.
The ground was covered by large charred leaves, as if he were dead. If it weren't for the extremely weak breathing coming from his chest, no one would think he was still alive.
"Well------"
Suddenly, a faint moan came from the corner of the young man's mouth, and he slowly opened his heavy eyelids, revealing his dark and deep eyes.
"pain……"
His eyes were pitch black, and the black eyeballs filled the eye sockets without a trace of luster. These eyes were like black holes, capable of sucking in any object that looked at them and falling into an eternal hell...
The young man endured the pain that penetrated his soul from his brain. He looked around with his black eyes, wanted to stand up, shook his head slightly, and finally weakly hit his head on the ground, splashing a few dry flakes.
of gray layer.
The thick tree trunk on his chest firmly restricted his movement!
The young man looked helplessly at the thick tree trunk that hit his chest, and then looked around in confusion.
Dawn breaks through the sky, and the dazzling sunlight shines through the gaps in the dense leaves and shines on the young man's pale face. At this time, you will find that the young man's face is as pale as a piece of white paper, without any blood.
"Is this...? Well, it hurts." Just as Ling Chen was about to move, he suddenly felt a sharp pain. The thick tree trunk that was pressing on his chest had a little bark deeply embedded in Ling Chen's body.
Between the flesh and blood of Chen's chest, every time he twisted his body, heartbreaking pain would come from his chest.
"Drink" struggled again and twisted his body a few times. Ling Chen was weak and leaned on the ground, looking up at the dazzling sunlight shining through the dense forest above his head.
His body was so weak that he couldn't even muster the strength to pry open the thick tree trunk on his body. Ling Chen gradually used up the remaining demonic energy to inspect the limbs and bones in his body.
The injury this time was very serious, beyond any other time...
Not only was the sword energy scarred on the body, most of the meridians and veins in the body were broken, and the black cyclone in the dantian also fell silent. There was no trace of demonic energy surging, and it was hovering feebly in the dantian.
His chest was covered with blood-red cracks and wounds. Ling Chen knew that they were the traces left by the terrifying spirit soldiers of the bald man. About nine layers of his life essence and blood had been lost from his body. If he did not replenish the lost life essence and blood immediately,
It is very likely that the forged body will be severely damaged, and it is even possible that it will never get back on its feet. Then Ling Chen's cultivation will regress back to the innate stage, and there will be no hope for the whole life.
"Chichi" a red talisman cut through the dense forest, spitting out crimson light and scurrying towards Ling Chen's face like a spiritual snake.
The flaming red communication talisman reflected Ling Chen's pale and weak face. He looked at the sudden communication talisman in front of him in a daze, his dark pupils flashing with brightness.
"Uh!" Using all his strength, Ling Chen stretched out his weak arms to hold the red communication talisman tightly and opened it!
"Where are you in Lucheng?"
Looking at the several Divine Consciousness Luo Seals engraved on the communication talisman, Ling Chen turned around and glanced around. A trace of demonic energy overflowed from his fingertips. The remaining demonic energy formed an ink pen and invisiblely drew several bright red characters in the air.
With large beads of sweat dripping down his forehead, Ling Chen finally finished struggling to write this talisman. He raised his hand and waved, and the text in front of him turned into a messenger talisman and shot into the emerald green forest, disappearing.
After using all his strength to send out the communication talisman, Ling Chen turned pale and fell heavily into the soil, but he passed out again...
——————————————————————————————
"Hey! Wake up?"
————————————————
I don’t know how long it took, but Ling Chen’s dull consciousness was gradually awakened by a crisp voice.
Suddenly, a familiar fragrance floated into Ling Chen's breath reflected in the soil. It was a special fragrant smell, with a hint of refreshing air that penetrated the heart.
Ling Chen seemed to have an irresistible obsession with the fragrance of flowers. When he smelled this special fragrance, Ling Chen's eyes suddenly lit up and he opened his heavy and tired eyelids.
Isn't this the strange fragrance of Su Mu? I had smelled it in Lingchen at Sunset Gate, so the impression was still very profound.
With eyes filled with deep weariness, he raised his head following the scent, and what he saw was a small and exquisite figure.
Seeing that her call had an effect, the beautiful woman blinked her bright, tearful eyes and curiously looked at the embarrassed Ling Chen in front of her.
The shocking scars on the chest were visible in the eyes of this girl who looked like she was only sixteen or seventeen years old. The corners of her mouth were raised in a surprised arc, as if she was confused by the horrific scene on Ling Chen.
He was shocked and stared blankly at Ling Chen's dark pupils.
"Have you ever fought with someone?|" Su Mu hesitated for a while and looked worriedly at the weak-looking Ling Chen who was leaning against the tree trunk.
There was no feeling of gravity pressing down on his chest. Ling Chen felt weak all over. He looked around and saw that he had been moved to a thick tree trunk and was lying in front of him. In front of him was this girl who exuded a strange elf.
He was looking at himself with wide, bright eyes, curiosity mixed with a hint of concern.
"Su Mu?" Ling Chen couldn't help but have doubts in his heart. However, when his tired eyes met the beautiful black eyes and the deep caring in the other's eyes, he was very sure.
This is Su Mu who is looking for a way out in the underground palace together. Only people who have experienced life and death together can express such true feelings of care.
Although he had known that Su Mu was a woman, at this moment, facing this beautiful face so close at hand, Ling Chen's weak eyes involuntarily moved down and stopped at the other person's thin, white neck.
"Ahem——"
Perhaps sensing Ling Chen's gaze, the petite figure in front of him coughed lightly.
"Well--------"
Suddenly, Ling Chen also realized his rudeness. He looked at Su Mu with a pale face and said softly;
"Fellow Daoist Su, I made you laugh, cough cough......"
"Uh, okay, okay, didn't you already know that I'm a daughter, and you're still making such a fuss, by the way! What's wrong with you? Who did you fight with, and you were so seriously injured?" At this moment, Su Mu didn't
Mindful of Ling Chen's slightly rude look just now, Dai Mei frowned slightly. At this moment, she was completely shocked by the mess in this forest!
He stood up and looked around. It was hard to imagine what kind of powerful opponent Ling Chen had fought. Within a few tens of meters with Ling Chen as the center, countless thick branches were broken, and they looked quite spectacular.
Pulling out the magic sword from the fallen tree, Ling Chen inserted it into his back very tiredly. Suddenly, waves of surging magic energy were continuously injected into his body, and began to repair Ling Chen's injured meridians like souls and bones.
.
Without answering Su Mu's question, Ling Chen guided the demonic energy to repair the injured body and said to Su Mu: "Su Mu, go and see if there are any storage bags in the pile of broken corpses in the distance. We must leave here immediately.
"
When the demonic sword behind him entered the body with rich demonic energy and began to moisten the meridians and veins in the body, Ling Chen's face involuntarily let out a groan, and there was a sharp pain in the repaired meridians, along with the slightest flow of warm air.
"Oh." Su Mu heard this and walked towards the terrifying crack in the earth extending in the dense forest. She seemed to have a certain understanding of Ling Chen's character. She knew that the answer Ling Chen wanted to tell her would be known sooner or later even if she didn't ask.
Watching the sky above his head getting dark, Ling Chen changed into a set of clean and tidy robes from his storage bag, tidied them up hastily, and put the broken giant hammer of the bald man on the ground with scattered energy into the storage bag.
The Qi was released, directly bombarding the broken pieces of flesh of the bald man into nothingness.
After performing that powerful move, apart from scattered debris, even the storage bag was blown to pieces by the bald man. He died more completely than the middle-aged man.
After doing all this, Ling Chen had already heard the sound of walking through the dense forest. When he looked up, he saw Su Mu holding a blood-stained storage bag in both hands and heading towards Ling Chen's direction.
Just as he was about to stand up, Ling Chen felt dizzy, and the massive loss of blood in his body made it difficult for him to move.
"Here, your storage bag!" Su Mu asked again after seeing Ling Chen supporting his hands on the tree trunk, his body extremely weak;
"Are you in trouble? Do you need help?"
He was speechless, his dark pupils staring intently at his feet, but the loss of essence and blood all over his body made it impossible for him to exert even the slightest strength, let alone walk.
"Hey, you are really a person. You just made it clear that you needed help. A grown man is still so coy." Su Mu glanced at Ling Chen helplessly, stepped forward, and forcibly helped up the weak Ling Chen.
Ling Chen, who was being supported by Su Mu, made no sound. The distance between the two was only half a foot wide. It seemed that he realized that the distance was too close, but Su Mu who was supporting Ling Chen quietly moved to the side.
step.
"……………………"
Su Mu supported Ling Chen and walked slowly towards Lucheng. Along the way, Ling Chen was silent...
Ling Chen, who was supported by Su Mu, remained silent and took out the magic sword from his back as a crutch. The two of them limped towards Lucheng like this.
Because Ling Chen had heard the conversation between the bald man and the middle-aged man before and found that Li Kai had not agreed to some of their requests. Thinking of the teleportation array in Lucheng, he expected Ling Chen to find the array master to repair it, so Li Kai himself
I won’t embarrass myself at this moment.
Lucheng at this moment is still extremely safe for him! So he is not afraid of returning to Lucheng, but wants to quickly return to the Black Bear Mountains with the help of Lucheng's teleportation array!
Although it was only a few dozen miles away, the two of them walked slowly and leisurely for more than two hours.
The figures of the two people stopped outside the gate of Lucheng. At this time, the gate was already on duty for midnight guards, and there were only a few monks entering and leaving the city.
Su Mu supported Ling Chen, and after delivering the spirit stone to the guard, the two slowly drove into the city under the surprised gaze of the guard.
