"It's really troublesome. I'm not good at protecting anything." Chenxing's tone was filled with sadness, "I've tried my best to protect myself over the years..."
These words sounded a little depressing, but when the flower branch stabbed at her like a sharp sword, she still nimbly avoided it and cut it off cleanly. Another flower branch rushed towards her. This time, she raised her sword and struck the center accurately. Huazhi's own strength caused her to be split in two by the blade, and green juice burst out and splashed onto her face.
"Be careful!" Ling Huan shouted, "This flower is poisonous!"
"You don't need to say anything." Chenxing wiped his face with the back of his hand, turned around and split open an incoming white flower. "This poison can't do anything to me. But you woman," she glared at She Zishu, "If you can only stand still, it's better to stay out of the way."
She Zishu indeed stood there, motionless. After Chenxing accused her, she closed her eyes. Suddenly, winding flower vines suddenly grew under the feet of the two Ye family girls. They were entangled by two flower vines, the ends of which were the red Manzhu Shahua. Before the two of them could react, they were lifted high by the flower vine and thrown out of the oleander boundary.
They fell heavily to the ground and got up in embarrassment. When they looked at the wall of branches and leaves in front of them, more branches and leaves were piled on top of each other, leaving no gaps for them to peek through.
"Oops, what can we do... can they do it?"
Yin Huan pulled her and shook his head. This means that even if they want to help, they probably don't have the ability.
"But, what should they do?" Ling Huan said anxiously, "Is there no other way?"
Yin Huan shook his head again. There may be a way, but I'm afraid it's not something they can figure out just by thinking about it. And to be honest, Chenxing and Shezishu's abilities are far superior to the two of them, so maybe they shouldn't be so worried. The top priority is to run to a safe place and hide until the trouble is completely resolved.
"...That's right, now is not the time to show off."
Under the gaze of his cousin's scorching eyes, Ling Huan chose to compromise. She reluctantly grabbed Yin Huan's hand and walked towards the empty distance together. Everywhere in the village is dangerous and it is really not advisable to stay there for a long time.
Let's talk about the interior surrounded by flowers. Chenxing and Shezishu were back to back, facing these too twisted and weird plants. Chenxing looked around, trying to find a weakly defended part and attack directly. But in fact, the wall built by this plant has almost no flaws and is airtight. She raised her head and glanced at the sky. The pale sunlight was so weak. She knew very well that although it was not difficult to cross directly over this height, her defense must be at its weakest and with the most holes when she was in the air.
"Do you often encounter dangerous things like this?" She Zishu said suddenly.
"Often." She glanced over, "It's rare to see someone as heartless as you."
"Is that so...should I act more alert and fearful?"
She Zishu tilted his head, really thinking, but what he said was really incomprehensible.
"But it may be difficult to get rid of this kind of thing." She Zishu continued, "I can feel that its root system has spread all over the ground of the entire village. It is not easy to uproot it. "
"No need to destroy it, just leave."
"...Really?" She Zishu looked at Chenxing with somewhat puzzled eyes, "I thought you would get rid of it."
"Give me a reason."
"Because it does evil in the world, and you are a human being."
"I am, but I am not a righteous human being." Chenxing said coldly, "You think highly of me."
"Ah, is that so? I originally thought that humans fled when facing powerful enemies because they did not have the strength to match them. But you are undoubtedly very strong... I thought you would have a greater sense of justice. "
"Read less of the script."
As he spoke, the wall made of branches and leaves slowly shrank. They seemed to want to trap the two of them here and suffocate them to death. To Chenxing, who has the power of purification, this poison is nothing, but to Shezishu, she doesn't know, but she doesn't care much.
The psychedelic flowers and leaves cast coquettish shadows under the sunlight. The shadow sometimes looks like many people dancing, sometimes like a bustling street. They all felt dizzy, not because of the poison, but because fighting against the illusion consumed a lot of their energy.
At this time, two flowers tentatively approached She Zishu. They swam away like snakes, and when they got close to Zishu's cheek, she suddenly stretched out her hand and strangled the two flowers tightly. The flower struggled like an animal, and this action angered the whole plant. On the branch she was holding, many flowers suddenly sprouted, blooming towards her like a demonstration. Those flowers gave off a strong smell, and Chenxing realized that it wanted to gather the demonic power to poison Zishu to death.
Zishu spoke first without her needing to remind him.
"That should be enough."
"What?" Chenxing didn't understand.
At the next moment, Chenxing suddenly felt a wave of heat. A strong heat flow spreads from the ground, and the dehydrated land wrinkles like human skin that ages instantly. There was a group of light next to it that was so dazzling that Chenxing couldn't even look straight at it. But there is no doubt that the light came from She Zishu's hand. After the bright light came the flames. The scorching fire followed her hand and quickly spread along the branches to the entire green wall. All the flowers struggled in the flames, trying to escape from the constraints of the branches. In the end, it was of no use. They had to quickly lose water, perish, and turn to ashes in the fire. In the process, they kept making weird crackling sounds. It was different from the sound of ordinary plants being burned. It seemed to be mixed with a faint whine.
"They are crying." She Zishu said, "Their screams are hoarse."
Chenxing looked at her with a very strange look. The fire was too hot, and she knew very well that this was no ordinary fire. The surrounding green wall turned into a wall of fire, making it even more difficult to approach, let alone climb over. Although the fire burned very brightly, they could not be reduced to ashes. Moreover, the temperature of the land where they were standing was getting higher and higher.
"What on earth are you doing?" Chenxing asked.
"Hmm...not good."
"ah?"
"Originally, the area of the root system was estimated to be sufficient, but it is absorbing more power..."
In addition to the crackling sound of burning, Chenxing also heard people crying. Could it be that the fire in Shezishu spread through the underground and spread to the entire village? But they definitely won't run away, at least they will take their so-called "lover" with them. And bringing those things will definitely slow down their departure.
"The village is on fire!" Ling Huan turned around.
"..."
Yin Huan opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything. Her watery eyes reflected a burning red, like lush flowers or clouds falling to the ground. A familiar feeling of dizziness crept into her heart, causing her to step back.
"Is something going to happen to the two of them?!" Ling Huan took two steps towards the direction of the village, "There are also villagers... What should those villagers do? I have to think of a way..."
Yin Huan endured the strong dizziness and shook his head continuously, trying to prevent her from going back. First of all, faced with such a dazzling color, Yin Huan's endurance has almost reached its limit. Secondly, they originally planned to protect themselves wisely, but they didn't mention bringing a bunch of trolls with them. It's a bit selfish to think this way, but shouldn't we have the desire to live? They are not knights in the first place, so they don't have to bear unwarranted responsibilities.
At least, at least, as long as Ling Huan is fine.
"Ah, are you feeling uncomfortable?" Ling Huan turned around and finally noticed something strange about his sisters. She quickly stepped forward and helped her sit down slowly. But as soon as Yinluan sat on the stone, she immediately said: "You rest here first, I will be here soon!"
After that, she ran towards the burning village without looking back. Yin Hu stood up abruptly and tripped over gravel as soon as he took a step forward. She was in so much pain but couldn't scream. Lying on the ground in embarrassment, looking at the retreating figures of her sisters, she couldn't even cry out in despair.
"Chen Nuxia! Miss She!"
In the fire scene, she turned around and looked around, but there was no sign of the two people. Where did it go? She clearly remembered that she was going back the same way... As she was walking, a figure suddenly rushed out from the corner of the two rooms, and she was startled.
What's even more frightening is that the man is clearly burning - he is completely wrapped in fire, and it is impossible to tell whether he is a man or a woman. He just ran aimlessly without saying a word. There were no screams of pain, no cries for help. Did that person's vocal cords break? If you listen carefully, you can hear a hissing sound coming from his throat. This scene was so terrifying that Ling Huan panicked for a while. But soon, the shouts of more people brought her back to reality.
"Help...save us..."
It is indeed the voice of the living. Although powerless and weak, she confirmed that someone needed help. Another thing that made Ling Hu feel strange was the increasingly hot ground. It's not that she has never experienced a fire - the last time, she almost fell from a high altitude and lost her life, but Xue Miyin held her back... That's all, let's not think about that first. At least that time, she didn't feel that the temperature on the ground was too high. Now she was dancing with every step she took. The ground was getting drier and drier, and fine cracks were growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, which also frightened her.
But...saving people is important.
The door of the nearest house was blocked by burning wood, and the windows could not be opened. It may be caused by wood burning and deformation. Ling Hu prepared himself mentally and stretched out his right hand. When he touched the window frame, it didn't feel hot. With a little force, she pulled the entire window down. There was a girl in the room crying so hard that she looked younger than Ling Huan. Ling Huan stretched out his hand towards her, and she was finally willing to hand over one hand, holding something in the other hand. Ling Huan tried his best to pull her out of the window, and then took her to escape to an open place.
While running, the thing the girl was holding in her other hand fell to the ground. She suddenly got the strength from nowhere and frantically broke away from Ling Huan's left hand. She turned around in surprise and saw the sick girl rushing to pick up the round object. Is it packed with soft baggage or important family relics?
When she picked up the object and put it in her arms again, she followed. This time she held the thing tightly with both hands, and she didn't have to spare a hand to reach out to Ling Huan.
Ling Huan took a closer look and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Isn't that a human skull?
