Chapter nine hundred and seventy-four: chance encounter

Passing through the Lingbutterfly Bamboo Sea, the heavy rain came as scheduled. A quiet ancient forest spread and stretched in front of her eyes. Affected by the miasma, the trees here were magnificent and purple. The leaves swayed wildly in the rainstorm, but they seemed to be firmly nailed to the branches and branches without falling. As night fell, the sound of ethereal Sanskrit appeared in his ears. It seemed that an invisible monk chanted scriptures not far away. His visual and hearing were affected at the same time, which soon made Yun Xiao feel a strange illusion that he was dazzling. This was the second time she stepped into an empty holy land. Unlike the last time she was devastated, this time, the grass and trees were everywhere. The rarely visited nature has amazing recovery ability. It is a real magical craft that no one can match.

"A Xiao, are you okay?" Xiao Qianye held her hand and said worriedly, "The Miaoyin tea you have drunk before is produced in the empty holy land. The wind blows through the branches and leaves of the Miaoyin tree and makes a chanting sound like a slogan that causes hallucination on ordinary people. With the influence of miasma, the five senses will have hallucinations."

"I'm not an ordinary person." Yun Xiao shook his head, which was indeed a little dizzy, and his mind, which was originally a bit distracted, immediately concentrated. The two continued to penetrate deeper along the muddy land. She instinctively wanted to use magic to avoid the rain, but Xiao Qianye calmly pressed down and whispered: "Only monsters will come in here. The special spiritual power on your body will easily attract their attention. Follow me and don't move around."

"Oh." She agreed in a low voice and hugged his arm quickly. The heavy rain quickly drenched the two of them into slaughter. Xiao Qianye continued to move forward in the dark in a blind eye. This complex environment was not difficult for him to deal with. After all, the annual training camp of the military pavilion simulated similar scenes based on the special environment of the four major realms. In order to achieve realistic effects, the great wizard from the Star Palace would also invite the Star Palace to transform into monsters. Over time, he had been accustomed to it, but Yun Xiao seemed to stumble when he was following him. The rain made the land muddy and difficult to move. There were countless ancient trees under his feet that suddenly rose on the ground. If he was not careful, he would trip. The deeper the branch, the lower the branch, and close to his body, it was like a knife cutting it.

After walking forward for a while, the heavy rain caused the empty holy land to be filled with purple mist. Yun Xiao panted and did not dare to let go. Xiao Qianye finally turned around. His face remained calm and his heart was not beating. He touched Yun Xiao's hair that was soaked by the rain with concern, bent down and whispered: "A Xiao, the road ahead will be even more difficult, so I'll carry you."

"No." Yun Xiao refused, and breathed a little, his cheeks turned slightly red. Fortunately, the black area here was not discovered by him. After all, she was clamoring to help. Why did she have the nerve to drag him back when she entered the forbidden area? She had to grit her teeth and walk by herself no matter how hard she was to help. While holding Yun Xiao who was staggering, Xiao Qianye recalled the direction indicated by the spirit butterfly just now. Ninety percent of the area of ​​the empty holy land were full of such tall ancient trees. Only a small part of the three river tributaries formed an inner lake of different sizes. Based on the size of the giant turtle, it could not hide in the woods. So the biggest possibility at the moment is Jingpo Lake about twenty miles ahead!

Xiao Qianye's eyebrows couldn't help but frown into a ball - Jingpo Lake is the habitat of the mirror demons. Compared to monsters who like to grin and attack people directly, the kind of bewitching things are even more difficult to deal with!

At this moment, a series of uneven footsteps suddenly came from the empty holy land where there was only the sound of wind and rain. It seemed that someone was walking anxiously under the night sky. The two of them looked alertly at the source of the movement. Sure enough, agile figures were running in a hurry in the woods. A sharp and sharp arrow light burst out from the hands of the person, piercing through the strange object that followed in one fell swoop. The thing stumbled in the air and lost its balance. The fire light suddenly rose, and then exploded with a "boom"!

"Someone!" Yun Xiao moved forward in surprise, and Xiao Qianye immediately pressed her down and said, "Don't worry, there shouldn't be people in this kind of place..."

Before he finished speaking, several beams of arrows shot towards the sky. The two of them looked up at the same time. Only then did they find that countless birds were floating on the top of the tree not far away. The sound of flapping their wings was particularly strange. Yun Xiao frowned slightly and felt something was wrong. She hooked up a light that was not easy to detect and released quietly. She closed her eyes and felt it. She gasped and grabbed Xiao Qianye's arm and reminded: "It's not a bird, nor a monster, it's a machine!"

Xiao Qianye immediately took out the Likong Sword from the gap. Although the arrow light in the dense forest was rapid, they all shot out from the same direction. Obviously, there was only one person not far from them. Seeing that the number of arrows was getting smaller and smaller and slower, Xiao Qianye pulled Yun Xiao and jumped out. The huge net of sword spirit exquisitely hooked out the sword energy illuminated the dark forest like daytime. The mechanical bird on the top of the tree turned his head stiffly, and before his eyes could see the scene below clearly, he was shot down in an instant by countless sword shadows transformed by the seven-turn sword-like shape.

"It's really someone!" Yun Xiao also saw the person under the tree with a flash of light. He was a woman wearing a bow and arrow, with two daggers on her waist, surprised that she could still see humans in the depths of the forbidden area at this time. The other party's expression was even more unbelievable than Yun Xiao. She pulled out an arrow and put it on the string with her special green pupils. The special green pupils showed her identity as a foreign race. Yun Xiao waved her hand and said in a low voice, "Don't be nervous, I'm here to find the giant ao in Shanshi. You are injured, bandage the wound quickly."

The woman's eyes were shiny and vivid. Although she was injured, she could only lean on the big tree, and she still used her last strength to maintain an attacking posture at any time. It was not until Xiao Qianye took the sword and walked over that she stared at the somewhat familiar face for a long time before she called out: "Master Xiao?"

"Do you recognize me?" Xiao Qianye was a little surprised. The other party seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. At the same time, he loosened the bowstring that had been tense, closed his eyes exhausted and took a rest for a while, and gasped in a low tone and replied, "What's wrong with knowing you? The military pavilion will not patrol deep into the hollow holy land. Only you will sit on the Tianzheng Bird and look down from the sky. The witch hunters in your face recognize you. Although you haven't seen you for some years, it's still easy to recognize."

After saying that, she suddenly seemed to realize something and turned her eyes to Yun Xiao again. She looked up and down for a long time, and asked in a hurry: "You are, you are Lord Feng Ji's sister, Yun Xiao?"

"Yeah." Yun Xiao nodded, and saw that the other party's tense face finally relaxed. He stepped forward to help her take out the ointment from her backpack and handed it over. Finally, he heard the key from this sentence. Xiao Qianye asked in thought, "The miasma in the hollow holy land also has an impact on aliens. How could you hunt demons here?"

"Hmph, Master Xiao, don't underestimate the witch hunter." Although the woman gently took the medicine bottle from Yun Xiao's hand, she rolled her eyes and stared at Xiao Qianye with anger and let out a cold snorted, "Not long ago, Aying was harmed by Taoyuan Township, and the group almost threw her into the well and drowned. Later, after the incident between the King of Yongle and the Jile Pearl was exposed, we have been keeping a close eye on the actions of the giant ash in the mountain city. Our partners found a huge mechanical bird inside, but when they wanted to lurk in and investigate in depth, they would be stopped by strange mechanical birds every time they approached, especially after the new chamber of commerce order was issued not long ago, the birds became extremely aggressive, and their beaks could spray venom, and their wings could also fire hidden arrows. Humph, we had already doubted Wen Shun was still indifferent, and now they were even more guilty and hid the giant ash directly."

"A Ying... Are you talking about the Queen?" Yun Xiao continued, and the woman paused, as if she was thinking about something, and she nodded for a while, "Well, she is the Queen now, but she has been thinking about the witch hunter and asked the armory to equip us with the latest weapons."

The woman patted the bow and arrow, smiled slightly, looked up at the mechanical bird that was running around in the sky after being broken by sword energy, and sighed: "The demon hunters in the four realms are all in contact, and they can communicate with each other's skills to suppress demons. Although Ah Ying is a mixed race between humans and aliens, she has always been with us. She didn't expect that she could become the queen, but it doesn't matter. The aliens don't care about their identity class, she is still our partner. The weapon I use now is called "Feed Arrow". It was made from the body of Dafeng who was captured a few years ago. After improvement, it is very restrained against monsters. Unfortunately, Wen Shun got these strange machines from where the toxins of Dafeng did not work."

Yun Xiao's whole body shivered, as if the feather arrows were pulled out from her body. The woman didn't pay attention to the embarrassment flashing on her face and continued: "After the imperial capital returned the White Sect, the monsters in the four realms have been restrained a lot under the suppression of the leader. In addition to the new weapons provided by Aying to us, our casualties have also been greatly reduced in recent years..."

She suddenly stopped, glanced at Xiao Qianye with a strange look, and reminded in a very serious tone: "The demon hunter is also in contact with the military cabinet and will act together. Feiyuan has experienced the destruction disaster. Although the past grudges cannot be completely let go overnight, the two tribes work together to work hard for the future. After the new chamber of commerce order was issued, the mountain city Juao appeared briefly on the banks of the Lishui River and soon disappeared. Lord Jing ordered the chamber of commerce in the whole country to settle the business payment as soon as possible, which must have cut off their way to make money. Their desperate people are barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. They must be careful to keep a guard."

"Well." Xiao Qianye's voice was very light and firm, and he asked, "Why were you chased by mechanical birds?"

The woman gritted her teeth and looked unwilling: "We were already chasing the movements of the mountain city. After the chamber of commerce, the giant turtle was even more strange. A few days ago, our partners came in to track its whereabouts and found strange magical spells near Jingpo Lake. It was speculated that it should have sneaked into the lake, but the miasma in the forbidden area also had a great impact on the witch hunters. Every time we went in deeper, we had to leave within three days. I came to replace the previous group of partners to continue tracking Shan city. As a result, we were besieged by mechanical birds as soon as we got there, and the Mirror Demon's behavior was also abnormal, so I couldn't get close."

Xiao Qianye turned the hilt of the sword and thought quickly. This kind of weather was not conducive to combat. It was obviously even more unwise to wake the snake. After a moment of silence, he looked at Yun Xiao and then looked at her, and said lightly: "The witch hunter should have a supply point. If you are injured, I will send you back to heal the wound. She happened to be stumbled all the way. She probably had twisted her feet and held on for a long time. The weather was so bad that the rain would soon be contaminated with miasma and affecting her mind. Why not take a break first."
