Chapter 8 Chapter Eight: The Forest

The great wizard was silent for a moment, then said: "Yes." Gui Li fell silent. The great wizard said slowly: "This holy artifact is related to the life and death of countless people in southern Xinjiang. I only hope that you can help us people in southern Xinjiang." The corners of Gui Li's eyes twitched, and he said: "The five tribes in southern Xinjiang have countless populations, why do you need help from an outsider?" The great wizard shook his head, his voice was desolate, and said: "Since the division of the five races, witchcraft has been declining day by day, and now there is no decent talent who can take on this mission. You begged me to summon the soul of your friend , I promise you, but the situation you said is different from the situation here in southern Xinjiang, and I am not sure, but I will try my best, and I will accompany you to the Middle Earth tomorrow morning!"

Both Gui Li and Xiao Bai were taken aback, they didn't expect the great wizard to be in such an urgent mood.For Baguio, Gui Li is not afraid of death, so why would he care about taking the risk to snatch some legendary holy artifact?It's just that although he was happy in his heart, he could still see that the great wizard was seriously injured, so he said immediately: "Senior, you fought last night... don't you want to rest for a few days?" The great wizard sighed lowly, and said: "I don't have many days left. Before that, I will do my best for you. I only hope that you can see me, a dying old man, and stretch out for the countless people in southern Xinjiang. number one."

Gui Li is silent, in fact, he can't see that the great wizard is weak, but he didn't expect to reach this point.But Xiao Bai who was at the side suddenly said: "Great wizard, you just said that the five holy artifacts must be returned to the ancient cave together, so that beast monster can be revived, right?" The great wizard nodded and said, "Not bad." Xiaobai said: "Since this is the case, even if one sacred artifact is lost among the Miao people, and there are four other pieces, you don't have to worry too much..." "Two, it's two!" The great wizard interrupted suddenly, and after finishing speaking, a violent cough came out of his mouth again.

Xiao Bai was taken aback for a moment, and said, "What?" The great shaman waited until his cough finally calmed down, sighed, and said: "On top of the black rod, the sacred artifact of our clan, there is another sacred artifact, the bone jade, which was snatched by our Miao people from the Li people two hundred years ago. of." Xiaobai let out an "ah" with a strange expression on his face, so he didn't speak. The great wizard was silent for a moment, and said: "Actually, two hundred years ago, we already realized that something was wrong. We got the news from the secret that the sacred artifacts of the Zhuang, Tu, and Gaoshan tribes suddenly became inexplicable in these hundreds of years. At that time, only our Miao people and Li people still had the sacred artifacts. At that time, among the five ethnic groups, only our Miao people's altar magic still had a little power, so we snatched the sacred artifacts from the Li people. The bone jade is kept in our altar for safety, but in the end, it is still..."

Ghost Li and Xiao Bai didn't speak, it's not very honorable to steal a sacred object. The great wizard knew this too, and he didn't want to say more about it, so he turned his head to look at Gui Li, and said: "So the current situation is really very critical, all five sacred artifacts are lost, maybe it's the beast What a monster. And the magic used by that Li clan monster last night is basically the black fire magic technique of the previous beast monster. I, I, I am really worried..." Before he finished speaking, he coughed and tore his voice apart. hoarse. Gui Li took a deep breath and said slowly: "I promise you."

The great wizard was overjoyed, nodded again and again, and said, "Thank you very much." Sitting at the side, Xiaobai suddenly said: "Great wizard, what was the name of that witch lady back then, I really admire her!" The great wizard's complexion changed, he sighed, and slowly sat up straight, with an expression of reverence on his face, and said slowly: "That empress is called 'Linglong'!" ※※※ The darkness without daylight, the tall black trees entangled with each other, the remnants of human and beast bones that can be seen everywhere in the forest, and the phosphorescence flashing between the dense white bones, these are all that Jin Ping'er is facing now.

Ever since she followed the lich and entered the mysterious and gloomy world of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, after trekking through two steep mountains, she entered a vast black forest, and this scene was presented to her. This was her third day in the Black Forest. The seemingly endless darkness in front of her seemed to be frozen, and Jin Ping'er's charming face couldn't help feeling a little anxious.She took a step, but there was a light sound under her feet. Looking down, a white human skull rolled aside on the ground. I don't know how long it has been since he died here?

Jin Ping'er sighed, flicked the skeleton with his foot, and swept the skeleton aside. Even though she was mentally prepared before entering the Hundred Thousand Mountains, Jin Ping'er still didn't expect this place to be so weird and sinister.There is a highly poisonous miasma everywhere, and you may die if you are not careful.Along the way, she actually encountered many unheard of monsters. It is not appropriate to say that they are monsters. Most of these things seem to be mutated from certain kinds of beasts, such as tigers and leopards, pigs and bears, etc. But looking at It's not like the smarter alien race like the murlocs I've seen before.

However, although these monsters are ferocious, they are only relatively ordinary people. For Jin Ping'er, who was born in the Acacia Sect of the Demon Sect, they are not difficult to deal with, so she is quite relaxed along the way, but the poisonous miasma that is everywhere here makes her I am worried every day, and I dare not relax for a moment. And the lich she was chasing from afar didn't seem to expect anyone to follow him to the Hundred Thousand Mountains, so up to now, Jin Ping'er hasn't followed him, but the evil dragon beside the lich, It really gave Jin Ping'er a headache.No matter how she hides her figure, once she gets close to the lich, the extremely sensitive dragon will almost feel vigilant. After several times, Jin Ping'er no longer dares to approach the lich.

Now, Jin Ping'er is chasing the Lich far away by relying on the secret tracking technique of the Acacia Sect. Since they entered the Black Forest successively, the Lich has never rested for three days and has been running at the same speed. Walking through the forest. Jin Ping'er's knowledge is quite deep, and she can bear it without stopping for three days, but she will feel a little sleepy no matter what, while the lich in front has been walking at the same speed. The phosphorous fire flickering in the black forest was like a flickering light in the darkness, and also like eyes that were silent in the dark, staring at the intruding woman.

Suddenly, there was a roar in the darkness, and a monster with a pig's head and a bear's body suddenly rushed out from the side, and pounced on Jin Ping'er. Jin Ping'er frowned, and his body flew up. Flash again. Purple Mans Blade! The monster rushed past the place where Jin Ping'er was standing just now, and rushed several steps away. Suddenly, it let out a strange long howl, and at the same time, there was a slight muffled sound from its whole body. It was divided into two pieces in the middle, and after falling to the ground and twitching twice, it remained still. The blood that flowed out gradually seeped into the ground under the shimmering light of the phosphorescent fire in the black forest. Before Jin Ping'er fell to the ground, countless wild beasts howled suddenly in the darkness ahead, and the original calm was broken in an instant, like a hundred beasts howling in the sky, one after another in the darkness, and in a moment from behind those flickering phosphorous fires, gradually appeared Pairs, pairs of big or small eyes with fierce light flashing in the dark. Jin Ping'er took a deep breath, and her face seemed to be a little pale. With a long howl, it suddenly rushed down like a huge river, and galloping footsteps pierced the dark silence and roared, gradually spreading, enclosing Jin Ping'er in the middle. "Roar……" At that moment, countless monsters rushed out from the darkness and rushed towards that thin body. Jin Ping'er's figure fluttered, dodging left and right among the overwhelming beasts, and at the same time, the purple awns flickered in her hands. Every time she waved, some monsters howled and died.It's just that there are so many monsters that came suddenly, they squeezed the big place to nowhere, and Jin Ping'er hardly had a place to stay. In the end, she was already flying on the backs of all kinds of strange beasts. Move around. But after a while, more than twenty monsters died under Jin Ping'er's purple light blade, but Jin Ping'er's trouser legs were also torn several times by the monsters.And in the darkness in the distance, there seemed to be endless monsters pouring out. I really don't know where there are so many monsters in this black forest. Jin Ping'er pursed her lips, knowing that she couldn't get entangled with these monsters, she put her right foot on the back of a tiger-headed and leopard-bodied monster, and she rose into the air and flew upwards. Originally, according to Jin Ping'er's meaning, he was unwilling to fly out of the Black Forest. First, it would inevitably expose the target, and there seemed to be poisonous miasma above the forest; It will be even more difficult to track the lich ahead. It's just that at this time, I can't control so much.Her body flew straight up. Although the monsters on the ground were ferocious, it seemed that none of them could fly. Numerous monsters huddled on the ground roaring and roaring. They were extremely ferocious and terrifying. Just when Jin Ping'er was about to fly to the top of the tall trees, there was a sudden noise, and the densely entangled black trees suddenly all came alive, among the black shadows, countless black shadows rushed down from top to bottom , which is even more mixed with a strong fishy smell, I am afraid it is also highly poisonous. Although Jin Ping'er was not flustered, her body stopped abruptly in mid-air, where the purple light flashed, a purple halo suddenly appeared above her head, and after a while, those black shadows fell down in the air, and when they touched the purple light, they burst into pieces The sound was endless, and in an instant, more than a dozen black shadows shattered and scattered in all directions. Looking from afar, it was just black branches, and there was also a foul-smelling black juice splashing in the air. Although Jin Ping'er blocked the strange tree falling from the sky, his body was still knocked down. Countless monsters on the ground immediately became excited, roaring and screaming, many of them jumped up with all their might, and fell towards Jin Ping'er. Body rushed. Jin Ping'er's face was pale, she waved her bare hands repeatedly, and the purple awns flourished, moving from the top of her head to the bottom of her body in an instant, and before her body fell to the ground, the creepy "duh" sound could not be heard, within the range of the purple awns, more than ten The body of the head monster was shattered, blood splashed everywhere, and even Jin Ping'er's body was stained red. It's just that the smell of blood seemed to stimulate the surrounding monsters even more, and in the blink of an eye, countless other monsters rushed up again.Jin Ping'er's forehead was already sweating, and without any hesitation, he blocked a group of monsters while waving the Zimang blade. He floated up with all his strength, and rushed forward with all his strength. At this moment, Jin Ping'er's situation is extremely dangerous, there are countless ferocious beasts chasing her, and there are endless strange trees blocking her, she can't go up or down, so she can only fly forward in the middle of the forest with all her strength. In the black forest, the screams of monsters were already everywhere at this moment, echoing far away, the black wind whistling, a scene of hell on earth. Dodging the sharp claws of the wild beast that jumped into the air, Jin Ping'er cut off an entire black tree blocking the way with a single knife, and flew through it.And what appeared in front were more monsters and endless black trees that looked like demons... Just fighting and running forward like this, I don't know how long it took, at the moment when Jin Ping'er felt that she was gradually unable to do what she wanted, suddenly there was a glimmer of light in front of the originally dark place. Jin Ping'er was overjoyed, his spirit was shaken, and the purple light burst into light, and he chopped down a huge gray wolf that jumped up from the ground, and flew there with all his strength. The shadow danced like a demon roaring, countless black trees fell down from the air, Jin Ping'er was surrounded by purple awns, along the way, he saw beasts killing animals, felling trees when encountering trees, blood and flesh flew all over the place, howling ghosts and howling wolves, and was forced to be killed. From this weird and unpredictable black forest, she directly killed a passage.Behind her, there were stumps and corpses everywhere, blood and black juice splashing all over the sky. When she rushed out of the black forest, this originally charming woman was covered in blood all over her body, like a bloody man, indescribably horrifying. However, when she saw the surrounding environment clearly, while she was panting heavily, her complexion changed even more.What she was on was a cliff. It was just a huge rock exposed in the black forest. Under the rock, clouds and mist floated, and the sky was illuminated by light, as if there was a strange colorful light flowing. Jin Ping'er only glanced at it, and knew that those colorful clouds and mists were the most poisonous miasma, and those who caught them would die instantly.But at this moment, in the black forest behind her, the roars of countless monsters sounded again, right behind her. Jin Ping'er gritted her teeth, tightened her hand holding the Zimang blade, and turned around quickly, but only felt a humming sound above her head, she could hardly stand upright, even her body shook a few times.These days, she hadn't had a good rest, and today she faced countless ferocious beasts and demon trees, even an iron man would have to work extremely hard. She was taken aback in her heart, and couldn't help but flashed the idea that I was going to die here. She couldn't help but secretly regretted that she shouldn't have risked chasing after discovering the mysterious relationship between Lich and Shangguan Ce.But the next moment, she suddenly found that although those monsters were still roaring and roaring, even standing in her position, she could vaguely see some monsters jumping and jumping in the dark forest, extremely angry, but for some reason, those monsters unexpectedly None of them came out of the Black Forest. Perhaps, they are foreign objects that do not exist in this world, so they can only live in that strange forest... This discovery made Jin Ping'er finally heave a sigh of relief, and under the light, those black demon trees seemed to freeze, and they never made any attack on her again. Standing on the rock, feeling the faintly smelly mountain wind blowing from the cliff behind her, Jin Ping'er's body softened, and she almost sat down. The wind blew her clothes, only to find that the whole body was covered with dirty animal blood, no matter what, Jin Ping'er was a woman after all, this discovery made her feel sick, she quickly lowered her head to tidy up. Suddenly, in the black forest, a huge roar erupted, instantly suppressing the voices of countless roaring monsters.Before Jin Ping'er could look up, a huge black shadow jumped out of the black forest and rushed towards her. Jin Ping'er felt that the whole sky had suddenly darkened, and she was enveloped by that black shadow. With a scream, she subconsciously blocked the purple light blade above her head.The purple light of the purple blade had just appeared, and the black shadow had already pounced on it, and a powerful force rushed in like an overwhelming force, and Jin Ping'er's whole body was blown away, and she was already in the air, and she could already see blood spurting out of her mouth. I saw her body tossing in the air, and after a few times, she flew out of the rocks under her feet and fell down. The mountain wind howled, and her shadow could not be seen in a blink of an eye. "Roar!" With a low roar, the black shadow fell to the ground, and it was the evil dragon beside the Lich. At this moment, it opened its bloody mouth, and its fierce eyes shot in all directions, and those monsters in the black forest seemed to be extremely powerful. Afraid of this evil dragon, there was no more movement at this time, and everyone ran away quietly. The black shadow swayed, and the lich in black slowly floated out from the black forest, passed the dragon, and came to the edge of the cliff, and the huge dragon slowly followed him. The Lich leaned forward and looked down the cliff, only to see faint ripples in the colorful clouds, apparently something fell down, he turned his head, nodded slightly, and patted the dragon's body lightly. The dragon roared. The lich let out a sneer, without looking back, and floated into the black forest. Just as the evil dragon was about to follow, it suddenly stopped and looked towards the cliff, but there was silence and nothing happened. The evil dragon's eyes were fierce, and he paused for a while, then finally turned his head and ran in the direction of his master.The sound of "srusting" sounded in the black forest, and then gradually became lower and lower until it disappeared. The mountain wind blew, and the fine dust on the ground was rolled up, covering up the remaining blood, as if nothing had happened here. After a long time, there was a low sound suddenly, purple light flashed by the edge of the cliff, and a figure turned up from under the rock, it was Jin Ping'er. As soon as she landed on the ground, she immediately gasped for breath. There were bright red bloodshots on her face and the corners of her mouth, which were originally white as jade, and it was obvious that she had been seriously injured. On the right side, Zimang gradually shrank and returned to her sleeve.But her gaze was looking towards her left hand. At some point, a strangely shaped knife suddenly appeared on her left hand. The back of the knife was in a zigzag shape. Two words are engraved on the ground── kill! Jin Ping'er slowly raised her head, and glanced in the direction where the lich and the evil dragon were leaving. In the black forest, there was silence.She stared for a long time, as if thinking about something, after a while, her eyes returned to the strange knife in her hand. In her eyes, there seemed to be a strange light turning quietly, and the mountain wind blew past, and she vaguely heard her softly talking to herself. "Killing a monk..."
