Qiaoqiao felt that her breathing was becoming more and more intense.
Although Qiao Qiao was an eighth-level warrior, she had just suffered a serious injury. Although there was a treasure like the Fountain of Youth to restore her injuries, her body's vitality was not so easy to recover.
At this moment, the sky was completely dark, and in this mountain forest, one foot was deep and one foot was shallow. The deeper the mountain road went, the more difficult it became to walk. Qiao Qiao already felt that her physical strength had reached its limit.
And although Du Wei is not a genuine samurai, after more than two years of training in the basic physical skills of Starry Sky Dou Qi and the Daxue Mountain physical skills taught by Bai Hechou, his physique is far superior to ordinary people in terms of physical fitness and endurance.
Trekking on the mountain road seems to be easier than Qiao Qiao.
It has been an hour since the two entered the mountain.
Moreover, both of them were obviously magicians, but Du Wei insisted not to allow Qiao Qiao to use magic to fly or speed up his progress.
"Don't forget, I still have the marks of elf magic in my body! Luoxue must have been 'surprised' to find a total of eight magic marks! But, you understand, the other seven marks besides myself are all
They are ordinary birds and beasts! Although Luoxue was confused by us, he also has a special skill, which is that he can sense the fluctuations of magic elements in the distant air! If we use magic to hurry up, then it will be equivalent to pointing out to Luoxue
Direction! After all, although the birds and beasts also carry the magic crystal of the elf magic, the birds and beasts cannot use magic to rush! Once we use magic to rush, Luoxue will be able to sense the fluctuations of magic elements! Then all the efforts will be wasted!
"
Seeing that Qiaoqiao seemed to be unable to hold on any longer, Du Wei stretched out his hand and put his arm around Qiaoqiao's back. He inserted it under her armpit and half-supported her forward.
Since then, half of Qiaoqiao's weight has fallen on Du Wei.
Qiao Qiao couldn't help but feel soft in her heart. She glanced at Du Wei with the help of a little starlight coming from the gaps in the dense leaves above her head. She saw a stern look on Du Wei's face and a trace of determination in his eyes. Although he was breathing heavily,
That look in his eyes didn't waver at all!
Gradually, Qiao Qiao couldn't help but feel in a trance. The outline of the face of the embarrassed young man beside him was vaguely similar to that of the boy on that deserted island overseas who gave him wild fruits and food, but deliberately...
The face of the young man who was secretly nibbling grass roots with an indifferent face gradually overlapped in Qiao Qiao's eyes...
"ah!"
Leaving no one behind, Qiao Qiao screamed and immediately fell into Du Wei's arms. Du Wei frowned and looked down, and saw that Qiao Qiao's boots were worn out. The ankles were covered in grass just now.
A sharp, jagged plant cut a hole in it.
Du Wei took a deep breath, asked Qiaoqiao to sit down, held her feet and looked at them carefully for a while. Then he smiled and said: "It's okay, that's the 'Freeman Sawtooth Bush'. Although it's a little harder, it's something like this."
It’s not poisonous. And it’s good stuff.”
He turned around and cut off a strip of the jagged bush that had just cut Qiao Qiao's foot with a dagger. He carefully cut off the hard saw teeth on the surface, exposing the soft part inside, and handed it to Qiao Qiao: "
Take a bite and chew it for a while. This plant can refresh you. And...if you are short of food, you can also use it as food to satisfy your hunger."
Looking at Qiao Qiao's bloody ankle, Du Wei sighed, took out clean clothes from the storage ring, tore off the strip of cloth, and bandaged her: "It's a pity, such a small injury. Don't waste the precious fountain of youth."
Now. We can't use light healing to treat it now. Please be patient for a while."
As Du Wei spoke, he raised his head and took a look at Qiao Qiao. He found that Qiao Qiao's expression was different and she was staring straight at him. Although in the darkness, her bright eyes were extremely real...
"Oh...ah, I understand." Qiao Qiao came back to her senses and seemed a little flustered.
Du Wei just held Qiao Qiao's feet and felt Du Wei's fingers gently caressing his ankles. Qiao Qiao felt that her heart almost jumped out of her chest!
Fortunately, it was so dark around now that Du Wei probably couldn't see his expression clearly...
Qiao Qiao, with her girlish mentality, seems to have forgotten that she and Du Wei are both magicians. And because magicians have strong mental power, their facial features are far more sensitive than ordinary people.
Therefore, although the environment was dark, Du Wei could actually clearly see the changes in Qiaoqiao's facial expression just now.
(Sigh...), Du Wei sighed in his heart, but still pretended to be nonchalant on the surface.
For a while, the two of them were thinking about their own thoughts, but they both fell into silence.
After a while, Qiaoqiao's heartbeat gradually calmed down, and she couldn't help but whisper: "How far do we... have to go?"
"Well, it's almost done." Du Wei thought for a while: "I'm looking for a 'suitable' place... I guess there must be the place I'm looking for in such a forest."
After saying that, Du Wei suddenly turned around and squatted down in front of Qiao Qiao.
"Well, you, what are you doing?"
"Carry you." Du Wei replied briefly.
Qiaoqiao felt that the temperature on her face had just cooled down, and now it was starting to get hot again: "I, I don't want it! I can walk with my own legs, why do I need you to carry me on my back!"
Du Wei didn't care so much, so he just forced Qiao Qiao to carry him on his back. Qiao Qiao let out a low cry, and didn't know what the reason was. She struggled symbolically, and then let Du Wei lay on her body and move forward.
Moved forward.
After walking for a while, she heard Du Wei's breathing getting heavier and heavier. Qiao Qiao couldn't help feeling sad. Although her face was still stiff, her tone could not help but reveal: "Hey, are you okay? If not... just, just
Put me down."
Du Wei gasped but laughed. In the darkness, his teasing tone was full of firmness: "Qiaoqiao, didn't I tell you? Men can never say 'no'!"
Finally, the two walked for a while, and after passing through a forest, the front suddenly opened up.
In front of the forest, there is actually a flat area of less than half a mile in radius. It is surrounded by an open area surrounded by woods. The ground in front of it is covered with thick leaves, and there is a faint sound.
A pungent rancid smell.
As soon as Du Wei took a step forward, he felt his feet go soft. He quickly stepped back and looked at the mud on the soles of his feet. Then he smiled and said, "Fortunately, I retreated quickly. It turned out to be a swamp!"
It turns out that the ground in front of us seems flat and covered with a thick layer of withered leaves and branches. In fact, under the thick leaves covering the ground, it is simply soft mud. It is a bottomless swamp! If you don't know,
I'm just afraid that if I step on it, I'll fall in.
Du Wei finally let Qiao Qiao down. Although he had only walked for a short meal, for Du Wei, he had already reached his limit.
Especially Qiao Qiao who was lying behind her. Although this woman was wearing armor before, she had already taken it off after she was injured. She was lying behind Du Wei just now, with her body pressed against Du Wei's back.
While walking, there were ups and downs, and Du Wei clearly felt two soft things coming from Qiao Qiao's body pressing against his back behind him. The feeling was simply a mixture of joy and torture...
Qiaoqiao naturally felt something was wrong. She originally tried to support her arms all the way, but after gradually running out of strength, her body involuntarily pressed against Du Wei's back. She was a girl, and although she was a little more defensive, she still
After all, she is as shy as any other girl. She clearly knows that this posture is very inappropriate, but at this moment, she doesn't dare to explain it first.
Along the way, the two of them stuck together "closely". When Du Wei put him down, Qiao Qiao's body became limp and she leaned against the tree trunk to catch her breath. A pair of eyes stared at Du Wei, almost filled with emotion.
She wanted to drip water, biting her lips, her pretty face flushed, and her eyes full of resentment.
Both of them were evil-minded. Du Wei pondered for a moment and was about to speak.
Suddenly, I heard a clear and cold voice coming from the distance!
"Duwei! How long do you think you can hide! Humph...you were so cunning, did you think I really couldn't catch you this time!!"
This voice was fluttering, as if coming from all directions! There was strong confidence in that indifference, who could it be if it wasn't Luoxue?!
Qiaoqiao's expression changed, and she was about to open her mouth to scream, but Du Wei had already hugged her, covered her mouth with force, and whispered: "Don't be nervous! He didn't find us, he used magic.
The urging sound covers a large area! Humph, you are scaring us!"
Sure enough, Qiao Qiao calmed down and carefully identified the sound. Although the sound was floating, she finally discovered that it was coming from the far east. It was fluttering, loud and small, but the sound waves were heading west, all the way.
Sweep away...
"Humph, he couldn't find us, so he came up with this idea to scare us into running out in panic!" Du Wei sneered.
But he was also faintly horrified in his heart!
This use of magic power to activate the sound and spread it over a large area is extremely consuming of magic power. But when this sound comes from the far east and goes all the way west, you don't know where it will end in the distance!
The magic power of this falling snow is so profound that it’s really amazing!
Qiao Qiao calmed down and asked, "Du Wei, where are we going next? Let's get out of here quickly. This place... really stinks!"
Indeed, the swamp in front of us is covered with thick dead trees all year round, and the smell of corrosion from below comes up one after another. Combined with the smelly mud, the smell is really making people want to vomit.
But Du Wei calmed down soon after. He touched his arms for a while and seemed to find something, which he held in his hand.
He pursed his lips and smiled and glanced at Qiao Qiao: "Are you afraid of smells? Then, I'm afraid it will be a little more difficult for you... Come on, be obedient, listen to me, pinch your nose, and breathe only through your mouth.
alright……"
He actually took out a small clip, and Qiao Qiao couldn't resist, so he clamped Qiao Qiao's nose. Seeing Qiao Qiao's weird look with a small clip on her nose, Du Wei didn't dare to laugh, for fear of offending him.
He met this handsome aunt and held her hand.
In the darkness, Du Wei clearly felt that Qiaoqiao's soft little hand seemed to dodge, and then seemed to hesitate for a moment, but then took the initiative to put it into his own hand. The soft little hand seemed to be still full of sweat, and it was light.
Shaking slightly.
"Don't be afraid, as long as I'm here, I believe that Luoxue will be fooled this time! However, it will smell a little bad for a while, so you have to be more patient."
After saying that, he took Qiaoqiao and walked forward.
"We, where are we going?" Qiaoqiao was startled.
Du Wei had a strange look on his face, pointing to the swamp in front of him, half-smiling but not smiling: "Of course it's right here... go down there!"
Qiao Qiao's expression changed, and she stared at the smelly swamp in front of her, and said with a trembling voice: "Down...down?!"
Girls are naturally fond of cleanliness, which immediately gave rise to a resistance in Qiao Qiao's heart.
But the person holding her little hand was Du Wei, whom Qiao Qiao couldn't resist at the moment. After Du Wei held his hand, Qiao Qiao seemed to have softened, as if being held by this hateful young man, even if
Even if you go to the ends of the earth, through mountains of swords and seas of fire, as long as the other party holds your hand and moves forward, you will never be able to resist at all...
Finally, the two of them stepped into the soft swamp. Their feet felt soft, as if countless disgusting and slippery mud flowed into their boots. Qiao Qiao felt her heart trembling. Involuntarily, she tilted her body and said, "嘤咛"
With a sound, he fell limply into Du Wei's arms...
