The dilapidated ancestral temple was silent for a while, and Wang Zixiao and the children felt like they were facing a powerful enemy.
The leading woman remained silent, looking back and forth among the children, and finally focused on Wang Zixiao, moving her hand lightly.
Suddenly, Wang Zixiao's whole body was shaken, and the black blood streaks on his body instantly faded away. In great horror, he found that he was slowly floating in the air, and then floated towards the woman.
"Let go of Brother Zixiao!"
A group of children panicked and wanted to rush forward and drag Wang Zixiao away. However, at this moment, the long-haired man behind the woman stretched out his hand and touched them lightly. The children seemed to be restrained by the surrounding air. , except for the panicked expression on his face, he could no longer move at all.
The leading woman paid no attention to everything around her. When Wang Zixiao floated beside her, her eyes flashed with clear light, and she finally exclaimed in admiration: "What a qualification!"
"You...are you outsiders?" Wang Zixiao seemed to have thought of something at this time, and stopped struggling. His face was filled with shock and excitement, and shouted: "You must be immortals, please save everyone!"
The woman just smiled and did not answer. With a slight movement of her hand, Wang Zixiao stepped on the ground again. However, the moment Wang Zixiao landed, he knelt down towards the women and cried hoarsely: "Immortal, please Please help everyone!"
Seeing this change, all the children looked confused. The long-haired man behind the woman also withdrew his magic power and looked at Wang Zixiao kneeling on the ground with interest.
When all the children were confused, they suddenly saw Wang Zixiao turning around and shouting urgently: "Run away!"
Instantly, the children panicked again, and suddenly remembered the agreement Wang Zixiao made with everyone when they entered the Chenxi Gang: "Duijin Kingdom is over. Don't trust anyone. If you encounter those sanctimonious immortals, you must run away. I will definitely Create opportunities for you.”
"Brother Zixiao!"
Several children shed tears, and then black roots spread from their bodies to their whole bodies. Their bodies became obviously stronger, and then they quickly transformed into birds and beasts and fled in all directions.
The sudden change shocked the woman and others. The woman smiled slightly and said to Wang Zixiao with interest: "It seems that you have met other immortal cultivators. Your identity seems a bit unusual."
"Uncle, do you want to capture her?" The man with long flowing hair on the woman's left said respectfully.
The lazy man on the right side of the woman didn't wait for the woman to speak. After yawning, he spoke first: "Of course we have to catch him. We infiltrated in secret. The old devil doesn't know yet. What if these little guys leak it? The news is troublesome.”
"Zuo Yi, since you know everything, why don't you go?" The woman stared at Wang Zixiao who was as nervous as a chicken in front of her, but she answered the lazy man's words.
The lazy man named Zuo Yi pursed his lips and said weakly: "I didn't let him go."
"Uncle, Zuo Yi has this kind of temperament, don't worry about it." The man with long flowing hair glanced at Zuo Yi lightly, the warning in his eyes was obvious, but Zuo Yi obviously didn't appreciate it, and the man with long flowing hair shook his head. He shook his head, sighed, and said, "Uncle, wait a moment, I'll be back soon."
After saying that, he took one step and his figure was about to disappear, but at this time the lazy Zuo Yi said again: "Brother Wenren Fuji, I will help you. Alas, it's all the old man's fault. I'll have a hard time treating you more."
When the long-haired Wenren Fuer heard this, the veins on his forehead twitched, and he endured it and said, "Which direction should you choose first?"
"Hehe, you are indeed a senior brother." After saying that, Zuo Yi's figure flashed and disappeared from the place. When Wenren Buer saw him, his figure also gradually faded.
After the two left, only the woman and Wang Zixiao were left in the dilapidated ancestral temple. Looking at the increasingly nervous Wang Zixiao, a smile gradually appeared on the woman's lips: "I ask, you answer."
Wang Zixiao wiped away the excitement and nervousness before and sighed in despair: "I tried my best. I hope you are safe. If only you were like that boy Xu Zhi'an."
Thinking of Xu Zhi'an, Wang Zixiao felt both angry and guilty. The angry thing was that Xu Zhi'an didn't care about the people in the Chenxi Gang. The guilty thing was that if the woman hadn't taken action just now, she would have strangled him to death. It was a pity that she had to do this at that time. , thinking, but a helpless smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, maybe in such a world, people like Xu Zhian can survive.
Wang Zixiao had already noticed that as soon as the women appeared and everyone's attention was on him, Xu Zhi'an quietly climbed out. This cleverness in spotting the timing might not even affect the woman in front of him. You didn't even notice it, it doesn't matter, I almost took your life just now, now I'll give it back to you!
"Stay alive, friends!"
Heat rolled over Wang Zixiao's chest, and a wave of strength filled his body. He stood up slowly, with black bloodshot eyes rolling out from his body. He stared at the woman with solemn and resentful eyes, rushed toward her, and spat: "Go." Die, damn immortal!"
"Interesting!" A bright light appeared in the woman's eyes. It was the eager look of someone who discovered a diamond treasure. She slightly extended her tongue out of the corner of her mouth and licked it. She suppressed her trembling body and said softly: "We must not ruin this. seedling!"
…
On the other side, Xu Zhi'an, who had fled quietly, was running in the mountains, his chest rising and falling, as if his breathing was too intense and his internal organs were tingling, especially the abdomen where Wang Zixiao had hit him painfully. It felt as if it was on fire, but he didn't Dare to stop.
The Smiley Flower, which is as tall as a person, is swaying in the breeze at the moment. There are many barbs on the green stems. Xu Zhi'an walks through it, and his clothes are inevitably scratched, and even some of his exposed skin is scraped with blood stains.
The Smiling Face Flower is poisonous. When the barbs pierce the flesh and blood, it will cause severe pain. Even the smell it emits can make people dizzy. Long-term exposure may cause terrible diseases. People in the Jin Kingdom have always been aware of all this. of. But the huge rewards cover everyone's eyes and make everyone ignore all this. Poverty is obviously more terrible than losing a healthy body.
Under the operation of the royal family and businessmen, the whole country worked hard to cultivate this crop, but this led to disaster.
The Duijin Kingdom is over, and the profit-seeking royal family and merchants have received their retribution, but innocent citizens have been implicated.
Perhaps no one thought at the time that the consequences would be so terrible. At first, the survivors still had the energy to collect the corpses and bury them one by one. Later, the burials lost their meaning. The entire Duijin Kingdom was littered with corpses, almost After entering a dead country, even those who survived by chance became more numb and terrifying.
Xu Zhian, who was walking through the Smiley Flower Forest, had already encountered dozens of broken corpses that were decaying or had decayed into bones. These bones were turned into nutrients for the Smiley Flower, and then continued to poison the surviving people. It was really ridiculous and sad. , but Xu Zhi'an was already used to it, and his expression didn't change much even when he stepped on a body with pus dripping from it.
Xu Zhian continued walking, his thin body disappearing into the forest of smiling flowers. The red mountains and plains revealed a different kind of enchanting beauty in the forest.
The smiling forest of flowers swayed gradually farther away, and finally reached the mountain forest at the end of the flower forest. Xu Zhian rushed into the dense forest.
"It should be safe, right?"
Xu Zhi'an took a deep breath, and under a huge pine and cypress tree, he looked back at the forest of frightening smiling faces. He took a short rest, then clutched the package tightly and walked towards the forest. I became more and more uneasy, and the guilt kept lingering in my chest.
Xu Zhian didn't know what happened next, but he had a bad feeling.
Wang Zixiao was actually very kind to him. Since the disaster, Xu Zhian had been living a life of hunger and fullness. Most of the time he worked hard for food, but with little success. Hunger was always with him, and he even faced greater challenges. danger.
They are not the only ones without food. Some surviving citizens are actually more terrifying. Cannibalism has always existed.
The Chenxi Gang founded by Wang Zixiao was actually just a group hug among orphans for warmth. Xu Zhi'an only joined them for two days. During these two days, although he was almost always hungry, he rarely experienced love and care.
What's more, with their joint efforts, they achieved good results. The not-so-heavy package in their hands was the biggest achievement, but he betrayed them for this.
Xu Zhi'an pulled the package hard, his fingertips turned white. Then he raised his head unexpectedly, looked at the sky covered with dark clouds, and whispered: "I'm sorry."
He took a deep breath and stood for a long time, until Xu Zhian felt a slight sweetness between his mouth and nose, and the tingling sensation in his abdomen intensified. Only then did he calm down, straighten his clothes, and his dim eyes finally filled with life.
He seemed to feel that there were too many small wounds on his body at the moment, and it looked a bit miserable. He hesitated for a while, and finally picked up a handful of mountain soil and wiped it on his body. This time, except that it was a little dirty, it finally looked like there were not so many wounds. .
He moved his steps, took a few deep breaths, then put on a relaxed smile on his face, walked behind the slope, climbed down the boulder on the slope, and stopped steadily on a platform overgrown with weeds.
He turned around and gently opened the dry branches at the junction of the boulder and the platform, revealing a hole. Without hesitation, he walked in with the package in hand.
"Puff"
A sharp branch suddenly stabbed from the corner. It looked fierce, but in fact it was weak. Xu Zhian looked back and grabbed the branch.
"No... don't come here!"
A six or seven-year-old child at the other end of the branch looked at Xu Zhian in horror. His little face was dirty, his long hair was tangled, and there were many hair strands mixed with stains on his face. If it weren't for the small braid on the top of his head, he would be almost invisible. Out it's a girl.
"Zhiping, I'm back. Are you and Zhixi okay?"
Xu Zhian spoke slowly, his eyes filled with pity.
Hearing Xu Zhi'an's words, the little girl was stunned, then put down the branch in her hand, rushed forward to hug Xu Zhi'an, and cried loudly: "Brother, you are okay, great, you are okay!"
