Chapter 625 The consequences of self-righteousness
I don’t know since when, the moonlight in the sky has become extremely cold.
Li Xiaoyao was stunned. He had no idea that three of the experts who were so confident just now would die in the blink of an eye, and the remaining one would be so seriously injured.
This is wrong
The storytellers never told such stories.
"That century-old little demon is just a cover. The real owner here is a thousand-year-old snake demon. I and several fellow apprentices were caught by the poisonous smoke as soon as we entered. We were unable to exert 10% of our strength due to the poisonous smoke."
The second senior brother said extremely hastily: "Run quickly, if you don't run, it will be too late. No, I probably won't be able to leave like this. Junior brother, please go back and call someone, I will delay for a while!"
"Senior brother, keep an eye on him. I'll handle it."
Amber shook her head helplessly.
He didn't study the concept of monsters too deeply. Before, he only knew that there were two monsters, one strong and one weak, but he didn't know how strong they were.
Because to Amber, it was just a matter of raising her hand.
"Junior brother, now is not the time to show off!"
The second senior brother stomped his feet angrily, but the injuries on his body made it impossible for him to take effective measures.
"Keep an eye on him for me."
Amber didn't bother to explain anymore, her body turned into a black line, and she rushed into the cave.
Li Xiaoyao was stunned when he saw it.
"Hero, what should we do now?"
"Run away quickly."
The second senior brother shook his head in despair: "Junior brother has gone in. I can't leave like this. I hope that snake monster has no interest in you because you are a mortal. If you can really escape, find a way to get rid of this place. The news was passed to Shushan."
As he spoke, he also took off the long sword from his back and handed it over.
"Consider this as payment."
A look of determination appeared on the second senior brother's face, and he staggered towards the cave.
Li Xiaoyao looked at the sword in his hand at a loss, and faint but firm words came to his ears.
"The human way is vague, the immortal way is vast, and the ghost way is joyful. When you are born, the immortal way values your life, and the ghost way values your death. The immortal way always brings good luck, and the ghost way always brings misfortune. The sky is clear and clear, and the tragic songs are loud. All the weather in the sky is turbulent, and my way The sun is booming!”
An indescribable emotion surged in his heart. Li Xiaoyao touched his face and found that he had shed tears at some point.
Although they had just met each other not long ago, both Amber and the experts who appeared later perfectly fit his imagination of a hero.
Kill demons and protect peace.
Even if the body dies and the soul disappears, there will be no regrets.
Heroes, little heroes, don't worry, I will definitely pass the news back to Shushan!
With these words in his mind, Li Xiaoyao ran resolutely towards the outside of the forest.
However, he had just run a few steps when he heard an earth-shattering scream from behind. It didn't sound like a human being, but more like some kind of animal.
Li Xiaoyao was so frightened that he trembled and walked faster.
But because he was running too fast, he kept falling in the woods. In addition, his physical strength was at the bottom and he had not eaten. He was hungry and tired at this time.
boom!
The vines hidden under the dead leaves hooked Li Xiaoyao's legs, causing him to fly out and roll several times on the ground. The pain and exhaustion made him unable to get up anymore, like a fish thrown to the shore. Lying on his back panting.
"Are you going to die? Auntie, I'm sorry... I couldn't fulfill my filial piety to you."
"No need to be sorry, you won't die."
A familiar voice sounded from above. Li Xiaoyao opened his eyes in shock and saw Amber carrying the unconscious second senior brother on his back and holding a huge snake head in his hand, smiling at him.
"Big...little...little hero, are you not dead?"
He got up from the ground in shock, as if the fatigue just now had completely disappeared.
"Do you really want me to die? It's just a snake demon, what's the big deal."
Amber raised the snake head in his hand and said, "My senior brother and the others fell into the trap, that's why they lost."
The second senior brother who was in a "coma" moved his ears, and then closed his eyes tighter.
"As long as you're fine, I thought just now."
Li Xiaoyao rubbed his eyes again as he spoke, "It's okay, little hero, shall we go back to the county seat now?"
"Well, let's go to your inn and take a rest. There should be something to eat by now, right?"
Amber felt the increasingly lighter restraint between heaven and earth, and her tone became much softer unconsciously.
Although I didn't become half of Li Xiaoyao's master as I imagined, the current results are not bad. I guess if I deepen my impression when I leave, I should be able to control the power of heaven and earth normally.
Even if it's not as good as a one-person world, it's still enough.
Not to mention that Zhao Ling'er hasn't been contacted yet.
It's just that there is no special method on this Fairy Island, or for ordinary people like Li Xiaoyao, who is a son of a lucky plane, they might not even be able to find him, let alone trying to find him.
"Yes, yes, of course there is food!"
Li Xiaoyao nodded repeatedly.
"Then go ahead."
The Qingming Sword on Amber's waist rose into the air and fell to his feet. After killing the snake demon, it became more agile.
It took a day to get here, but it only took less than a cup of tea to fly with the sword. The three of them were over Zhou County.
Li Xiaoyao, who was originally full of excitement, suddenly became a little nervous.
"What's wrong?"
Amber turned to look at him.
"My aunt has never gone back so late before. She will definitely teach me a lesson."
Li Xiaoyao said tangledly.
"Hahaha, you can't avoid this, let's go!"
Amber controlled the flying sword and stopped before Yun Laiyun went to the inn. It should have been long past closing time, but at this moment, the lights were still on both sides.
When I walked in, I saw the woman holding her head, half asleep and half awake.
"Aunt."
Li Xiaoyao shouted cautiously.
The woman didn't hear anything at first, but when she realized who was coming back, she immediately became furious. Regardless of the presence of Amber and others, she picked up the broom and chased after him.
Li Xiaoyao fled in embarrassment, begging for mercy in various ways, but was finally forgiven, and then said something shamelessly, successfully getting his aunt to agree to go to the kitchen to cook.
"Is there any room available up there?"
Seeing him look relieved, Amber asked.
"some!"
"Take me there and let my senior brother settle down first."
"Okay, come with me."
Li Xiaoyao specially chose a guest room with good air and ventilation, and put Senior Brother Gao Ren who was still in a "coma" on the bed. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, he followed him downstairs to wait for food.
As the door was closed, the second senior brother, who had his eyes closed suddenly opened his eyes, his face full of guilt and pain.
Everything that happened today, after all, was because he had started to be self-righteous after being praised by several junior brothers, and that was why he ended up like this.
Four people came out together, but ended up going back alone. He didn't know how to face the master or other people.
