Chapter 17: desert
Looking at the two people who have not yet woken up, Shu Xiaowu thought: Now is a good opportunity to run away
But... gazing at the harsh environment around her, she doubted that she would be buried in the yellow sand in the sky after she ran away, and her clothes would not leak out, let alone run away...
When she thought of the dilemma that she was still deeply "toxic", her heart that wanted to escape could only go away sadly.
When Liu Ruling was awake, what she saw when she opened her eyes was a raging wind swept by endless yellow sand, and the sky turned gloomy a bit because of this wild yellow sand. Seeing that the yellow sand was about to be poured from her head, she hurriedly closed her eyes and couldn't help but turn her face away. After waiting for the dry stinging pain on his face to dissipate, he opened his eyes little by little.
In addition to the yellow sand that will not disappear, the things printed in the pupils are also the little girl who is squatting in front of him and spitting up the sand.
Shu Xiaowu is also embarrassed to the end. She wanted to make a good impression on the heroine who opened her eyes at the beginning, but she specially corrected her posture, put on a smile, and brewed a way to say hello, until she opened her eyes completely.
...but I didn't expect it to be completely destroyed by a gust of wind.
The dry and astringent gravel stuck in her small throat, making her feel a sense of frustration that she couldn't make a choice.
Shu Xiaowu, who was frustrated by the endless yellow sand, suddenly heard the first dialogue between the heroine and her.
However, the content of the conversation made her almost embarrassed.
"Who are you?"
Liu Ruling looked at the girl in front of her with funny movements, the corners of her mouth were curved, the tone of her words carried the delicate and clear tone of a girl, and her tone was gentle and kind. After saying one sentence, the whole person became a little more profound.
However, Shu Xiaowu, who had to get hit because of someone's similar question not long ago, had a serious shadow on this sentence.
Reluctantly swallowed a few saliva, waiting for the mouth to finally feel comfortable, Shu Xiaowu took a breath and suppressed the surging emotions in his heart. With her delicate fingertips, she pointed at the man lying behind Liu Ruling, "I came out with him, and I rescued you."
The moment Liu Ruling saw Gu Nao, she screamed in surprise, and the surprise and worry on her face were clear. She approached him anxiously, looking at the man whose small half of his body was swept into the sand by the previous strong wind, her eyes were instantly sparkling. At the same time, he shouted: "Senior brother, brother, wake up, what's wrong with you?"
Shu Xiaowu looked at her eager appearance, bit her lower lip, and secretly guessed in her heart: Seeing the nervous appearance of the female lead, it was obvious that she already had feelings for the male lead. Then things in the future will inevitably develop one after another, so it is imperative that she finds the opportunity to escape!
Shu Xiaowu just watched Liu Ruling shaking Gu Nao's body while the pear blossoms brought rain. The whole person was as soft and weak as a little white flower that was about to collapse, but there was also a bit of strength in the softness. Impressive.
She thought to herself, if this scenario continued, the male protagonist would not be able to wake up weakly for a while, while the female protagonist was distraught, resolutely like a god-given power, took a breath and cheered up. After all the hardships and hardships to turn the tide, he successfully brought the male protagonist out of this barren land. After waiting for the male protagonist to wake up, he deeply felt that the female protagonist was too kind to himself, so the love between the two was sublimated in this way. .
However, the truth hit her in the face again.
After Liu Ruling shook for a while, Gu Nao woke up leisurely.
"Ling'er, don't cry..."
As soon as Gu Nao's voice came out, Shu Xiaowu immediately trembled. Looking at the mood of the two, she felt that her eyes were pricked, making her want to cover her eyes. His sudden and lingering appearance is completely inconsistent with the cold and hard man she knew before. Could it be that the legendary Hundred Steels turned into soft fingers?
...Well, who made him face the heroine.
Seeing that he woke up, Liu Ruling was overjoyed and laughed, "Brother, what's wrong with you, where are you injured?"
"Ling'er, don't worry, I'm fine, I just lost too much spiritual power and need to rest." Gu Nao said weakly, took a deep breath, and slowly stood up against Liu Ruling's hand. Looking at her pale face, his eyes sank slightly, "It's all my brother's fault for coming too late and making you suffer in the Demon Realm."
Although he couldn't see any huge difference in Junior Sister, the more he did, the more he blamed himself. How could there be kindness in the Demon Race? Junior Sister must have suffered a lot this time. She is just pretending. , afraid of worrying about yourself.
"No, Senior Brother, I'm fine. The demons didn't embarrass me for the past few days. I was just locked in a dungeon, and I didn't see many demons." Liu Ruling shook her head, looking at When he had a suspicious look on his face, she also stretched out her hands generously to show him that she was in good condition, and a smile appeared on her beautiful and delicate face.
In the past few days in the Demon Domain, except for the first few days when she saw Yu Shu, the Demon Lord who captured her, she was locked in an empty dungeon for the rest of the time. She didn't know why they brought her here, but she knew that they definitely didn't want to kill her or torture her.
During this period, she unconsciously fell into a coma several times. When she woke up, she knew that someone had moved her body and took her elsewhere, but there was no discomfort on her body, which made her even more confused about what happened. .
"However, in addition to the sect token and Izumo sword, my Qiankun bag was taken away by them... The spirit stone is also in it." Liu Ruling murmured for a while before speaking slowly. She had checked things on her body before and found something abnormal.
Reputable and powerful sects of immortal cultivation will use the characteristics of their sects to forge tokens of various sects with spiritual tools. Each official entry disciple will drop his own blood when he gets his own token, identifying himself as an official disciple of the sect. When they enter the sect, the name of the new entry disciple will be displayed on the disciple stone corresponding to the token belonging to the sect.
Each disciple has only one token, and the disciple can use his own spiritual power to further forge and cultivate. But if the person dies or deviates from the sect, the token will automatically shatter, and the list on the disciple stone will disappear.
The rest of the Qiankun bag she carried with her was nothing, but the spirit stone was also taken away.
Back then, it was purely an accident that she unintentionally took her to the Lingshi Yintai Punishment Illusion Realm and disappeared. Although this matter was suppressed by the master, there was hardly any news. And because the spirit stone has spirituality, he only wants to stay around her for some reason. At this point, the master asked her to keep the spirit stone, but now the spirit stone has been lost from her hands, and all the blame is on her body.
Gu Nao heard her talk about Lingshi, and glanced at Shu Xiaowu unconsciously. Seeing that she was only digging the sand around her with her hands, she didn't feel abnormal at all because of their words. tighter.
Ever since Ling'er got the spirit stone, although it didn't recognize the master, it had been lingering by her side, and most people couldn't take it away. But now, I don't know what method the demons used to take away the spirit stone.
Or did they capture Ling'er for the sake of the spirit stone?
However, everything is not good, so he can make a decision now. After all, he can't accurately judge what the truth is.
Now that the matter had come to an end, he had no choice but to comfort her with a guilty face, "You didn't do this on purpose, Ling'er, don't blame yourself too much."
There is a huge amount of spiritual power in the spirit stone, and if it falls into the hands of the demons, there will be another worry. It stands to reason that the magic way cannot use the spirit stone, but if they use it for other purposes, it will inevitably lead to disaster.
If so, it matters a lot. Therefore, in any case, the top priority is that they need to go back and report the matter to the master as soon as possible, so that he can make a further decision.
But, of course, their situation is not optimistic.
Seeing the rolling yellow sand and the surging heat waves in the circle, Gu Nao's expression became even more tense.
Due to his lack of spiritual power, after using the Sky Splitting Technique, there was a serious deviation. They did not return to the Xuanqing Sect, nor did they reach any relatively better environment. They actually went to an unknown desert. Even someone like Gu Nao, who is a little emotional, doubts his luck
The surrounding spiritual power is thin, the spiritual power cannot be replenished, and the spiritual power on his body is almost exhausted. In addition, this desert is completely invisible, even if Ling'er has enough spiritual power, walking with the sword cannot guarantee that she will be able to get out. And the only way they can get out is to use their own legs to move forward...
Shu Xiaowu turned his face to the side, and watched the two brothers and sisters share a beautiful friendship on their face paint. Yellow sand and tornado as the background, don't look too good!
"Senior brother, she just said, was she the one who rescued me?" Waiting for brother to think, Liu Ruling's eyes flashed suddenly, and she hesitated to speak when she saw Shu Xiaowu who was doing nothing. A pair of bright eyes flickered at the little girl who was not far away, and her eyes were shining brightly. Even in such a barren environment, it was difficult to hide her beauty.
As soon as Shu Xiaowu heard something about him, he immediately straightened his eyes, pulled his lips apart, and showed a cheerful smile.
Gu Nao glanced at Shu Xiaowu calmly, and after looking at the other party, he immediately retracted his smile and lowered his head under pressure from his own eyes, before he replied lightly, "Yeah."
If it really counted, Ling'er was able to save her, it was indeed her credit, but this matter was strange.
Actually, just because of her words, the Demon Lord handed over Ling'er to her and let her pass the time? Is her status too important, or is Ling'er's status too light?
From the moment when Shu Xiaowu called out the name of the demon, Gu Nao knew that her identity was not simple.
Limo, an important confidant of the Demon Lord Yu Shu, although his reputation outside is much smaller than that of Zhu Qi, who is also a crony, but it is said that he grew up beside the Demon Lord, and he is better than Zhu Qi. The devil is happy.
And such a demon, actually speaking casually and casually with a little girl, obviously has a close relationship. Then this little girl is strange.
But on the other hand, since the demons captured Ling'er, she must be useful to them, so how could she just discard it at will? Could it be that their purpose is really just a spirit stone?
In the Demon Realm before, although he also found something wrong, but he didn't think about it deeply. Now thinking about it, it is obviously a lot of doubts and contradictions.
Shu Xiaowu didn't know that Gu Nao was thinking about herself further in her heart. She only felt that she had succeeded in gaining goodwill in the heroine's heart, and she was really happy!
But Gu Nao's next sentence made her unhappy again.
"Ling'er, watch her carefully these past few days, don't let her escape. Her identity is still unclear, she is probably from the Demon Realm... But I have already cast a spell on her, and she is about to escape. , you don't have to worry about it, I'll just kill her." Gu Nao glanced at Shu Xiaowu lightly, there was no tender emotion in his pupils, and suddenly ice cold appeared suddenly from the previous soft atmosphere. Come. Regardless of her status, he would take her back for Master to take a good look at.
Shu Xiaowu was sluggish. Why does Mao treat people so deeply? ?
...well, who made her the heroine!
Liu Ruling couldn't bear to see Shu Xiaowu's pitiful and sad face (actually not, she loves life very much).
"Senior brother, how could you, how could you treat a child like this!" She tugged at the corner of his clothes, her voice soft and weak, with her usual coquettishness.
Hearing this, Shu Xiaowu nodded in agreement. Although she is a grass demon who has grown up for more than a thousand years, her appearance is tender enough to be called a child.
Gu Nao caught a glimpse of Shu Xiaowu's movements in the corner of his eye, but he moved his eyes away, not giving her a glance.
"She is unstable, don't be fooled by her, remember what your brother said. I'll meditate for a day now, and when I wake up, we'll go out. We need to rush back to the pai as soon as possible and report the matter to the master, who will let him go further. to decide."
Gu Nao looked at the boundless yellow sand, slowly closed his eyes, and sat up in meditation.
After Shu Xiaowu heard his words, his brain trembled. Because Mao had an illusion when she heard him say "go out", would they really go out?
Hehehe... She must have misunderstood.
