In the leafless forest, it was a cold night with no wind, and the atmosphere was very tense!
More than thirty savages with weapons in hand seemed to know how to cooperate. They formed three circles inside and outside, tightly trapping Bian Yao and the young man in gray. The savages made strange sounds from their mouths and slowly approached the two of them.
"The number is a bit large, it seems we can only find an opportunity to rush out." Bian Yao turned his back to his companions and said worriedly.
The young swordsman cultivator remained silent, staring at the approaching savages with sharp eyes. He suddenly flipped his sword over and jumped out like lightning, taking the lead in launching an attack.
Once the sword is drawn, it is swift and deadly! In an instant, the tip of the sword was at the throat of one of the savages. Suddenly, a spear flew out from an angle, and the sword tip was raised accurately and in time, causing the young man in gray to stab the air with his sword, while the wild man who was almost killed took the opportunity to jump away.
There is no expectation of the savage's skills at all, and they will be so fast and agile.
At this moment, the spear just turned and stabbed towards his chest again. At the same time, a thick hammer hit his temple from the right side.
At the critical moment, the young man in gray had a cold face. He raised his sword and turned around. The simple sword in his palm drew a strange arc. From a tricky angle, he instantly resisted the spear thrust and at the same time dodged the hammer. attack.
Looking at the other side, Bian Yao was also dealing with four savages alone. He kept raising his hands and waving his fingers, continuously releasing rocks and flying swords, launching illusory attacks on the savages, using offense instead of defense. For the time being, the savages could not get close, so there was no danger.
Although these savages are not cultivators, they cooperate with each other very well and are very skilled and flexible in using human weapons. It only took a few breaths for the two sides to start fighting, but the hearts of the two young men began to sink, and their faces became more and more solemn.
Seeing that his killing move was blocked three times in succession, the young man in gray became angry, a fierce look suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he decided to take the risk!
The next moment, the young sword cultivator suddenly used a strange move, combined with his body movements like floating catkins, and unexpectedly turned around and slashed out a sword, as fast as the wind, like a rushing stream of light!
The cold light disappears in an instant! A fluffy head rolled to the ground, and a hot liquid sprayed out from the broken neck.
Almost at the same moment, the tip of the spear penetrated deeply into the left shoulder of the young swordsman, and the sound of wind caused by the hammer dance reached his ears again! The young man raised his right hand and swung back, blocking the fatal blow of the iron hammer with lightning speed. At the same time, he bowed back and leaned against Bian Yao again.
Due to the tragic death of one savage, the other savages temporarily stopped their attack. Two savages ran up from the outer circle and carried the body and head of the savage back.
All the savages bared their teeth and let out a manic roar! Then, with eyes full of wild cruelty, he continued to approach the two of them.
"It's really going to be over now! These savages are really not simple. It seems impossible for the two of us to break out!" Even though this is not the first time he has experienced danger, Bian Yao's face at this moment, in the moonlight, looks very Pale!
The young swordsman cultivator ignored the blood flowing from the wound on his shoulder and stared straight ahead with his cold eyes, seemingly making a decision. Suddenly, he slowly raised his left hand, stretched out a finger and moved it towards the edge of the sword, and at the same time said coldly in a chilling voice: "Then kill them all!"
Bian Yao clearly felt that his tone was a little unusual, and vaguely felt that something was wrong. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a vicissitudes of voice coming from the outside: "Two little guys who don't know how to live or die!"
Before the strange voice could finish, a ghostly black shadow had passed through the savages and appeared beside the two of them. It quickly stretched out its arms, held them both under their waists, jumped into the air, and jumped directly into the air. Fly into the distance.
The sudden appearance of the mysterious man was truly unexpected! At first, the two thought they were the helpers of the savage, but soon discovered that the visitor had no ill intentions, so they allowed the man to lead them and fled far away, but they heard the whistling of the wind beside their ears.
When the prey is taken away, the group of savages will naturally not be willing to give up. They chase closely below and let out angry roars from time to time. Fortunately, their running speed was not as fast as the man's flight, so the distance between the two sides was gradually widened.
About half an hour later, the man descended from mid-air, stopped in a small open space, and casually put the two of them down.
"Thank you, senior, for the rescue!" As soon as his feet landed on the ground, Bian Yao smiled and looked at the man in the moonlight, feeling secretly surprised.
Under the cold light of the stars and moon, the mysterious man was dressed in shabby black clothes. Most of his face was covered by messy beard and hair, and his appearance could not be seen clearly. At first glance, he looked not much different from a savage.
"No need! If it weren't for Pianpian, I wouldn't have been able to save you.our. "The man snorted, his attitude surprisingly cold.
The young man in gray clothes stood aside. After listening to his words, he couldn't help but reply: "Who asked you to mind your own business again! If you hadn't stepped in, I would have killed all those beasts by now!"
Hearing this, the man's eyes suddenly glowed with cold light, he turned his face and stared at him for a few times, and suddenly sneered: "Do you believe I will throw you back to the savages again?"
Faced with the man¡¯s intimidation, the young man in gray raised his sword eyebrows, glared angrily, and replied without any sign of weakness: ¡°That¡¯s the best! I¡¯m just thinking of killing a few more.¡±
Seeing the mysterious man's anger getting stronger, Bian Yao quickly moved to stand between the two of them, waved at the man and said with a smile: "Anyway, senior showed up in time to save us two. I don't know what the 'Pianpian' you are talking about is ¡¡±
At this time, the man¡¯s expression suddenly softened, his anger turned into sadness, and he said sadly: ¡°She is my wife.¡±
"Ah!" Bian Yao suddenly shouted, his eyes fixed on the white shadow that appeared behind the man at an unknown moment, as if he had seen a ghost, and he said intermittently: "She why is she here again? "
"She is the one who asked me to save you." The man did not look back, his words were full of sadness.
Bian Yao couldn't help but be startled. The young man in gray clothes behind him seemed to have forgotten about the quarrel with the man just now, and turned his gaze to the white shadow not far away, with a bit of curiosity in his eyes.
¡° Less than ten feet away behind the mysterious man, under a claw tree, the white shadow stood there quietly, not approaching, which seemed a bit strange.
"Why is she so far away from us?" Bian Yao hesitated for a moment, then expressed the question in his heart.
"She is dead. It is just her soul. Due to some unknown reasons, she cannot get close to living people and cannot speak." The man's tone changed again, and his already very old voice sounded even more Look sad.
Bian Yao didn't say a word, turned his head and looked at the young man in gray, and both saw suddenness and new confusion in the other's eyes.
"Senior, let me treat you to a drink." After a moment of silence, Bian Yao rolled his eyes, took out several jars of spiritual fruit wine from the space bag, and threw one to the young man in gray.
"Wine? I haven't had a drink in decades." The man suddenly smiled bitterly again, and his hungry eyes fell on the wine jar.
For those who are sad, wine is undoubtedly a good thing! When there is wine, there are no topics or stories to talk about. Some things need to be told with a bit of drunkenness, so as not to cause too much pain to the person telling the story.
Under the moonlit night, in the leafless forest, a mysterious man sat across from Bian Yao, while the young man in gray clothes held a wine jar alone and sat ten feet away. A white shadow stood quietly not far behind the man.
When most of the jar of wine was consumed, the man finally broke the silence and looked up at the crooked moon in the night sky. His eyes gradually froze, as if he was recalling a distant and heartbreaking story.
This happened sixty years ago. The man can¡¯t remember the exact age. He is from Hanjiang County, Huangzhou. When he first entered the late stage of dream madness, he met and eventually fell in love with Xu Pianpian, the eldest daughter of the Xu family, the most famous family in the county.
However, the good news did not last long. Since the man's status was ordinary and his cultivation level was not outstanding, he naturally could not gain the approval of the Xu family. Therefore, Xu Pianpian was restricted from traveling and was trapped in the house. After several efforts, the man still had no results. Just when he was about to give up, Xu Pianpian secretly escaped from the house. After finding the man, she decided to elope with him.
After discussion, the two of them fled Hanjiang County overnight, intending to leave Huangzhou and go to Zezhou to find a peaceful place to live. In order to escape as soon as possible, the two came to Yushi County and teamed up with three others to enter Chaosyuan, hoping to take this dangerous shortcut to Zezhou.
When a group of five people came to the Leafless Forest, they were attacked by savages at night. Xu Pianpian was only in the early stage of dream madness, and her cultivation level was the lowest among the five. In the chaos, Xu Pianpian was seriously injured, while the other three were focused on escaping without caring about their injured companions.
After a fierce and hard fight, the man finally took his lover away from the savages. He was also covered in scars. Because he was isolated and helpless, Xu Pianpian died of his injuries without medical treatment. The man was in grief, mentally exhausted and in pain all over his body, and passed out.
After waking up, the man was hesitating whether to take his lover's body back to the Xu family, but found that his lover's soul had not dispersed, and was standing silently not far away, staring at him with eyes filled with pain.
Soon, the man discovered something unusual. His lover¡¯s soul could not speak or get close to him. The two could only talk through eyes and gestures. After guessing that this might be related to the environment of the Leafless Forest, the man decided to take his lover's body and soul away from the Leafless Forest, but it turned out that the lover's soul was not there at all.Can't leave the leafless forest.
Just outside the leafless forest, the man held his lover's body and stared at the soul in the forest for a long time. Finally, the lover's soul persuaded him to leave. The man stopped where he hesitated and struggled for a long time before making up his mind to leave. However, after taking a few steps, when he looked back, he suddenly turned around and walked into the forest. Because, from the lover's dreamy eyes, the man saw endless loneliness, fear and reluctance.
Since then, the man has never left the leafless forest. He has been guarding his lover's soul hard, staying together day and night, even if the two cannot talk or get close.
At the end of the story, the man stopped crying, raised the wine jar again, and drank heavily.
The night was still so quiet, no one made a sound for a while, only the young man sighed in his heart.
Just for the soul of my lover, I resolutely lived in isolation in this weird forest without any regrets for decades. This behavior is really touching! There is such a pure and deep emotion in this world!
Although Bian Yao doesn¡¯t quite understand the relationship between men and women, at this moment, he can¡¯t help but feel deep sympathy and admiration for the man in front of him!
"She is very kind! Even if she becomes a ghost, she still wants to save others. When she found out that you two were being targeted by savages, she wanted to lure you away from the savages. It's a pity that you couldn't understand. If she hadn't repeatedly Request, considering your young age, I wouldn¡¯t have taken action originally!¡± The man put down the wine jar and said slowly.
Bian sighed and turned his gaze to the white shadow not far away, feeling secretly grateful to him in his heart. After a while of silence, he asked again: "I don't know how much senior knows about this leafless forest, but why do I feel that those savages seem so unusual!"
"There seems to be a chilling power in the depths of this forest. Although I have been in this forest for decades, I have never dared to go deep, so I don't know exactly what secrets are hidden in it! The man pondered for a moment, then suddenly added: "But I have witnessed with my own eyes the situation of those savages eating human beings. They are very cruel!"
At this time, Bian Yao suddenly thought of the human bones he saw on the way, his expression changed slightly, and he thought that the guy had indeed been right!
The man put down the empty wine jar in his hand, stood up suddenly, raised his hand and pointed at the stars in the night sky, and said seriously: "You can go, go in that direction, it will be relatively safer, don't stop for a moment! By sunset tomorrow, it should be Then you can get out of this forest."
Hearing this, Bian Yao was overjoyed! He raised his lips but said nothing. He thought for a while, then took out all the remaining wine in the space bag and placed it on the ground.
Seeing this, the man couldn't help but laugh heartily, and said happily: "Originally, I wanted to ask you how many jars you wanted, but since you took it out yourself, it saves me the trouble of opening my mouth."
Bian Yao chuckled, then glanced at Bai Ying not far away, and said: "We can't repay the life-saving grace of the two seniors for the moment. Seeing that the seniors seem to like wine, we will repay you with wine for the time being. Bar."
The man was not polite. With a wave of his arm, he put away all the dozens of jars of wine on the ground and said, "I'll take the wine. You guys, hurry up and leave!"
Bian Yao said no more, turned to look at the boy in gray and said, "Let's go."
The young man in gray clothes stood up and walked a few steps. Suddenly he stopped and looked back. His eyes moved from the white shadow to the man. He was silent for a few seconds and said, "Thank you!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the young man in gray turned around quickly and hurried into the darkness.
Under the pale moonlight, in the vast leafless forest, two teenagers ran all the way, speeding towards the direction the man pointed just now.
