The sun has not yet completely set, and patches of red clouds appear in the afterglow, making those walking forward look even more lonely and helpless.
Ai Siyu walked towards the forest dragging a long shadow, not as excited as he had imagined before.
After walking alone for so many days, I felt like I had found some support after a change of environment, and the fatigue showed through my body endlessly.
Leaning next to a big tree, watching the endless river water flowing deep into the forest. Ai Siyu showed a bitter smile on his lips, tiredness came over him, and he gradually fell asleep.
He slept soundly that night, without thinking about whether there was any danger around him.
It was getting brighter, 'hiss, hiss, hiss...' Ai Siyu was woken up by an unknown sound.
Before his eyes were fully opened, the first thing that came into view was a pair of big bulging eyes, and a pink thing came out of the mouth of the guy in front of him.
Ai Siyu, who was still awake, suddenly understood what the guy in front of him was. He didn't dare to move for fear of disturbing the uninvited guest. He could only widen his eyes and try to scare it away. Unexpectedly, the guy really turned around and headed towards
Escape far away.
"Damn it, you know how powerful I am, you want to scare me." Ai Siyu, who was still feeling smug, suddenly felt something was wrong.
"I don't have that much lethality. I can scare the snake away just by staring."
Slowly turning his head, a larger snake appeared on the tree trunk one meter away from him. He rolled to the side, then quickly jumped up and reached out to grab the ground.
Half an hour later, the aroma of meat filled the air. Looking at the snake meat on the fire, Ai Siyu swallowed the saliva in his mouth.
"Hey, I haven't eaten snake meat for a long time. I really miss it." As he said this, he walked towards the river and cleaned the ancient sword that was used to clean the snake meat.
After a feast of snake meat, Ai Siyu walked along the river deep into the forest.
It was another three days of jungle life, but it was easier for Ai Siyu to accept it than the boring grassland.
In the past few days, in addition to catching some snakes, rabbits, and birds, he also caught a small wild boar, which he sprinkled with some condiments, which was considered delicious.
On the evening of the third day, a courtyard came into view. The high walls around the courtyard were made of black rocks. The dark rocks gave off an ancient atmosphere.
I felt happy, but the dark rock had become extremely smooth over the years. I climbed on it with both hands, then slipped down, and after several attempts, I finally climbed over the wall and entered.
Breathing heavily, he slowly walked inside. As he walked, he found that he was surrounded by fruit trees, with leafy branches and various fruits within reach. Ai Siyu picked two pears and ate them while asking
Walk forward.
An hour later, a ray of light shone into his eyes, which was more dazzling than the moonlight.
Ai Siyu rubbed his eyes, looked into the distance, and said to himself: "Is there anyone here? I can finally see someone."
With the help of the moonlight, Ai Siyu quickly rushed towards the bright place. A tree emitting holy light came into view, and he looked at the tree in front of him dreamily.
"It's so beautiful" she exclaimed from the bottom of her heart.
There are more than a dozen gourd-shaped fruits on the tree in front of you, which are as clear as glass and crystal. The fruits exude a holy white light, and the whole tree trunk exudes a faint green color. Under the clear moonlight, it is full of mystery.
feel.
Out of an instinctive reaction of his body, Ai Siyu reached out and touched the mysterious fruit. During the contact, streams of white air spread along his fingers and merged into the sea of chaos in an instant.
The white air flows into the body, stirring up waves in the Chaos Sea. The clear current flowing out from the Chaos Sea runs rapidly along the blood vessels and meridians, and bits and pieces of greenish green overflow from the body.
All this was done in an instant, so fast that even Ai Siyu didn't notice anything strange about him.
After his hand completely landed on the fruit, he did not show any pity for the fruit. He waved his hand and a stream of sweet juice flowed into his mouth as he rose and fell.
The colorless juice enters the body, causing the chaotic clear flow to run even crazier.
"Wow, it's so sweet!" Someone ignored the changes in his body and boldly enjoyed the delicious food in his hands.
The other hand was not idle either, and the fruits exuding white awns were picked off one by one and put into the backpack.
After a while, the fruit in his hand was eaten, and there were more than a dozen fruits with white mangoes scattered in the bag.
"Hey, stop, grandson, let's see where you run this time." When Ai Siyu wanted to continue picking some fruits, two figures came flying towards him from a distance.
He only felt his body tremble, "Damn, this is so embarrassing." He left behind a sentence, picked up his backpack and ran away in panic like a bereaved dog.
Feeling that the two people behind him were moving extremely fast and getting closer to him, Ai Siyu used all his strength to speed up and run.
While chasing one after another, Ai Siyu saw that the wall in front of him was exactly where he came from. "Damn it, it was very hard to climb in when I came here. How can I get past it in such a short time?"
His words were full of helplessness, but he had to continue running, but the two people chasing behind him were cursed countless times in his heart.
When he ran three meters away from the wall, Ai Siyu found a tree next to the wall. He jumped up with all his strength, grabbed the branches that stretched out horizontally, and used the inertia of his body to swing, and a black shadow shot towards the wall.
outside.
The two people chasing after them did not stop in front of the courtyard wall, but flew out with their legs raised and chased into the distance.
"Damn it, do you need to chase after me after eating some fruit?" Ai Siyu climbed down from the tree, climbed over the courtyard wall, picked up the backpack lying in the grass and disappeared into the depths of the forest.
After entering the depths of the forest, Ai Siyu collapsed on the ground and let out heavy gasps.
"Damn, you want to exhaust me to death! Why don't you just eat some fruit?" Ai Siyu complained while wiping his sweat.
"No, it made me cry so much."
A voice came from behind him, and Ai Siyu looked back hurriedly, stretching his right hand towards the ancient sword at his waist, but turned back to look to his left.
I saw a palm-sized little man wearing white armor lying on his left shoulder, holding his clothes tightly with two small hands.
"Mom, what is this? You...why are you on top of me?" I thought it was the two people chasing me, but who would have thought that it was this guy who spoke.
The little thing let go of his fleshy little hand and said in a sweet voice: "Okay, kid, throw the bag out to distract those idiots, and then climb up the tree. This is a good move. It's quite smart."
"Tell me how you ended up on me?" He didn't pay attention to the little guy's compliment. At this time, he held the green ancient sword tightly in his right hand and stared at the guy in front of him.
He was a little scared when facing this guy, not because he was afraid of harming himself, but because the guy in front of him was too small. He had never seen such a small person, and this little guy was also wearing an ancient armor.
"What's wrong with you? Why are your legs shaking?" The little guy jumped off his shoulder and stood on the ground looking at Ai Siyu's two trembling legs. He raised his head and asked with a childish expression on his face.
"What...what are you shaking? You're tired from running. Tell me how you got on top of me?" Ai Siyu stomped his feet to cover up his ugly appearance.
"Oh, that's it. How did I get on top of you? Mainly because when I was chased by those two guys just now, I noticed that you were running very fast in front of me, so I just rode along."
The little guy spoke in a calm tone, with a playful expression on his face, not noticing that Ai Siyu was already extremely angry.
"You...it turns out they weren't chasing me, it was you who always stole fruit and was discovered by others, but I became your scapegoat. You are so shameless, you thief..."
Before Ai Siyu finished cursing, he saw the little guy arranging the white armor with his hands, flicking the dust on his body, and looking at him with a nonchalant expression.
"What the hell are you stealing! Uncle, I'll eat some fruit because I respect them. Others beg me to go, but I won't go." Ai Siyu was even more angry when he saw this little guy looking like a gangster.
"You thief, you don't say anything about stealing other people's things, but you also act like a rogue. You are so thick-skinned!"
"Boy, you keep saying that I am a thief. What did you see me stealing? I saw you packing a bag of fruits." Ai Siyu looked at the backpack next to him and didn't know what to say.
"Hey, buddy, don't be angry. We are friends in times of need. Let's make friends. My name is Xiao Nuo and I am an elf." Xiao Nuo kindly stretched out his fleshy little hand and said in a sweet voice.
.
"No need to be a friend, I just want to know what kind of creature you are." Ai Siyu was still brooding over what had just happened, and did not give Xiao Nuo any face.
Xiao Nuo retracted his outstretched hand in embarrassment, scratched his head in embarrassment, stared at him with a pair of big watery eyes and said:
"I am an elf, can't you see? I look the same as you humans, and I have the magic power of an elf."
Ai Siyu looked at Xiao Nuo carefully. He really looked the same as a human. His fleshy little hands looked even cuter. His milky voice made him feel like a two or three year old child.
Looking at his cute smiling face, Ai Siyu felt a twinge of affection in his heart, but his right hand never left the ancient sword at his waist.
"Hey, buddy, what's your name?" The smart little guy could tell at a glance that Ai Siyu was no longer so angry, so he quickly got close to him.
"Ai Siyu"
Xiao Nuo walked a few steps on the ground, muttering "Good name, good name, Xiao Nuo likes it," and the white armor on his body gradually turned into a white gown.
Seeing Ai Siyu staring at him stupidly, Xiao Nuo quickly explained, "My clothes are very special and can be changed according to my wishes."
Xiao Nuo's words were full of showoff. Before he finished speaking, the white gown turned into a set of red bellybands.
Ai Siyu stood there dumbfounded and asked enviously: "Are all the clothes here so magical?"
"How is it possible? This is a treasure. Last time, four old men wanted to snatch this piece of clothing from me. I don't know why they started fighting, but in the end they made too much noise and attracted an ancient monster. This
All these old men have gone to hell."
"You can still have fun in hell?" Ai Siyu's question caused Xiao Nuo to roll his eyes.
"Brother, they are all dead, can you not go to hell to play? They are all scared to death by the claw of that little beast."
"What you said is a bit too much. If you can kill four people with one claw, is it still considered a little beast?" Ai Siyu was extremely dissatisfied with the little guy in front of him who always talked big words, and looked at Xiao Nuo with a look of contempt.
"Look at your virtues. I'll introduce him to you when I get the chance next time." Seeing Xiao Nuo acting like a hooligan and speaking in a snarky tone, Ai Siyu had a puzzled expression on his face.
"Haha, it's the same old habit, it's the same old habit, don't mind." Xiao Nuo scratched his bald head with his chubby little hands and said embarrassedly.
"Brother Ai, why are you here alone in the ancient forest?"
"Is it necessary to tell you? I'm going on the road, you should go back to your orchard to play." Ai Siyu picked up his backpack, found the direction and was about to leave.
"You want to go back to your human place through this forest, right?" Xiao Nuo stared closely at the backpack in his hand, with something strange flowing through his eyes.
"Well, I've had enough of staying here, so I'll go with you to the place where humans live!" Ai Siyu didn't know what he was planning, and didn't dare to trust him. After all, he still had to shoulder the mission of his family.
, I can’t make any mistakes.
"You'd better not follow me. I still like the feeling of being alone on the road."
"Haha, you don't trust me! Don't worry, I won't delay you. Besides, do you know how to get out of this ancient forest? I can take you out."
While Ai Siyu was hesitating, Xiao Nuo had climbed onto his shoulder, "Hey, brother, don't hesitate any more, let's go."
Under the clear moonlight, Ai Siyu reluctantly listened to Xiao Nuo's command and shuttled through the jungle. While walking, Xiao Nuo kept staring at Ai Siyu's backpack with a naughty smile on his lips...
...
In the distant orchard, two young men were kneeling on the ground, their bodies shaking constantly, their eyes not daring to look at the man in front of them, "You two have lost such an important thing, what's the point of living."
The standing man's palm fell lightly, two desperate screams echoed in the night sky, and pieces of blood mist floated in the air of the orchard.
"Tianyi, go get the things back. The person who stole the things must be executed."
