[Douluo Dalu] He and the sea

His body was slightly hot, like the autumn sun entering his arms, carrying some scorching sparks that seeped into her skin from her clothes, seeming to warm her body that had been cold all year round. Ating shook his head and turned his arms inward. Shrinking, she hugged him subconsciously.

"Little three."

She lowered her voice and put the back of her hand on his forehead.

Somewhat hot…

Atin pursed her lips, furrowed her brows, and slowly moved her gaze down, from his face to his chest, and finally stopped at his palm on his abdomen.

Something flashed across her eyes quickly. She stretched out her hand suspiciously, spread out his slender fingers, and then opened her eyes wide in shock.

"He was poisoned."

Gu Xiu glanced lightly, then turned his wrist and let out a leisurely cry. Snow-white light swept out from the tip of the sword and passed between Tang San's fingertips. Then, black poisonous blood flowed out. flowed down.

Ating couldn't do anything to help, she could only watch from the sidelines. The bright light was like frost, passing by like a white firefly. It stung people's eyes with a slight soreness. She moved her eyes away from the pool of blood and tightened her eyes. I frowned, feeling as if there were a few huge stones stuck in my heart.

In just a moment, all the poisonous blood flowed out. Gu Xiu withdrew his hand and put it into his sleeve. The clear water floated in the air. After circling around, he snuggled up to his side obediently. The blue-white long sword had no edge or brilliance at that time. , without the slightest hint of hostility, only shrouded in a thin layer of light, which no longer makes people shiver when looking at it.

Gu Xiu clasped his hands behind his back with a cold expression. He turned his head slightly and turned his gaze from Tang San to Ating. The little girl's emotions were written all over her face. He knew what she was thinking at a glance.

"Are you worried about him?"

A Ting's expression changed, but she didn't answer, which seemed to be her acquiescence to his words. She tilted her neck, lowered her eyes to look at Tang San, and vaguely traced his browbones with her fingers.

"It's not like I didn't deliberately alienate him..." Staring at the young man's facial features, Atin couldn't help but calm down, with a hint of confusion: "But why is he still willing to stand in front of me?"

Gu Xiu stood in front of the two of them, like a long and straight pine, blocking the cracked light, with his back to Shengyang, his face and expression were perfectly obscured, and he couldn't see clearly no matter how hard he looked.

A Ting's heart was heavy, like the weight of a young man in her arms. During the confrontation just now, he exposed his back without any precaution and stood in front of her resolutely. This was the second time he protected her. It's her.

"You're upset." Gu Xiu tilted his head, allowing the sunlight on one side to have a path to fall. His brows softened a bit. Atin raised his head, but he didn't understand what was in his eyes. of profound meaning.

His words were like a spinning shuttle, suddenly squeezing into her messy mind, and then naturally smoothing out every tangled thread, making her mind calm, as if she had experienced a storm. Hit and become extremely clear.

"I can protect you, but I have no right to control you." Gu Xiu still stood there without moving. Qingzhao came over as if he had spiritual consciousness, and used the hilt of his sword to lift Tang San away from Ating bit by bit. It was pushed out of the young man's arms. After doing this, it returned to the young man's side.

"Cecil." This was the first time Gu Xiu called her name. It was the name of her sea area, not the name given after she transformed into a human.

Atin was startled, her ears felt a stinging pain as if she had been pricked by a needle. She suddenly realized it. After arriving inland, she fell step by step deeper into the dream of human Atin. She almost fell asleep. Forgot that she was still Cecil and a spirit beast.

"I don't want you to go down the same path as your sister and I."

Gu Xiu was silent, uncovering a corner of the scars from the past. Atin peered into those secret past events like a storyteller. Through his gloomy eyes, she seemed to be able to see Gu from more than ten years ago. What does Xiu look like? He must be a high-spirited young man.

"You don't want to be like Ayi, and he doesn't want to be like me."

Gu Xiu closed his eyes and did not intend to say any more. As for this, he thought the little girl must have understood.

"I understand." A Ting lowered her head, her eyes were as cool as the gray sky after the rain. She lowered her eyelashes and stared at the man's brows. The fingers she had raised dropped uncontrollably. Going down, the gentle wind passed through nothingness and touched his brow bone.

Outside the bones is skin, which is still warm.

As if her hand was burned, Atin quickly retracted her wrist. She stood up and took three or four steps back, creating a gap that was not too close but not too far away.

"When will he wake up?" Squatting down, A Ting held his knees with his hands and raised his head to look at Gu Xiu.

"a while."

The two of them had a tacit understanding and did not talk about the previous events again. Gu Xiu felt a little relieved, but felt a little guilty. He held the hilt of Qing Zhao's sword, and the soul power in his palm opened. Almost in an instant, the long sword It turned into light and turned into a bluish-white star that escaped into his palm.

Gu Xiu took advantage of the situation and closed his palms, clenched them into fists, and put them behind his back. He couldn't stay here for a long time because someone would come looking for him after a while. Therefore, after explaining to Ating, Gu Xiu left first.

He came and went silently, leaving only a cold breath. Atin folded her arms and felt the same coolness on her body. She let go of her thoughts and allowed her mental power to flow out like waves, ignoring it. The other person's body temperature and sense of presence only include all the disturbances in this forest land into the perception.

For a time, she could concentrate on taking a look at things as big as ancient trees and weeping radish trees, green pines and strange rocks, as small as colorful flowers and butterflies, and desolate weeds. Within a radius of three miles, the atmosphere was quiet and everything was orderly.

Except... there was a sudden fluctuation somewhere.

Atin turned his cheek and glanced to the side, his eyes trembling a few times in an instant.

Tang San had already woken up. He stood up halfway and turned his head to look at her.

Silly...

Atin lowered the corners of his lips, met his gaze, and said in a natural tone: "You have been asleep for almost half a stick of incense."

Tang San blinked and sat up straight. His expression was still a little confused, as if he was in a daze: "So long? I... I'm not that dizzy now."

"You are poisoned."

After Ating finished speaking solemnly, he glanced at Tang San a few more times. Seeing his confused look, he wondered if he remembered what happened to Gu Xiu.

Neither of them spoke anymore, Tang San frowned, and after being silent for a while, he moved his lips first.

"It's taken so long, you should absorb the soul ring quickly." Ating stood up, walked in front of him, picked a place that could be seen from all directions, and raised his chin at him.

Tang San suppressed his words, stood up after listening to her words, walked to the open space in front of the spirit ring, and sat down cross-legged.

He folded his hands in front of his abdomen, slowly closed his eyes, and after calming down for a while, he began to activate the soul power around his body.

In less than half a moment, several wisps of light red mist rose up from his body, and then slowly gathered together. The mist became thicker and thicker, surrounding Tang San's entire body.

At this time, the smell of blood filled the air. Atin slightly raised her nose and noticed something was wrong. She stood up quickly and walked quickly out of the fog.

Logically speaking, this should not happen when the soul ring is absorbed. What is going on with this mist...

Atin was helpless as she paced outside. As the smell of blood became thicker, the mist began to spread outwards. She frowned and stepped back cautiously to prevent any unexpected events.

But the strange thing is that after she took three or two steps back, the mist did not disperse again, but moved towards the center of the current encirclement, as if she suddenly had a sense of autonomy.

In the mist, the sound of crackling bones came from his body. Tang San gritted his teeth and frowned. A few beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. His whole body was so hot that he felt like he was sitting in a stove. , every exhalation and inhalation was filled with scorching heat, but during this time, his senses suddenly amplified a lot. Through the barrier-like mist, he unconsciously followed the cold outside.

The mist was filled with sweet blood, and he could feel it. When she was only half a finger away from the cold breath, she stepped back.

These few steps fell into Tang San's mind, like a mallet hitting a drum, forcibly pulling back a lot of his consciousness. His body suddenly trembled, convulsing slightly, and the lingering power of the Human-Faced Demon Spider's spirit ring lingered on his body. The limbs and bones were moving violently through the bones, almost crushing the entire skeleton. He bowed down in pain and gasped violently.

Atin's familiar aura was still lingering outside. Tang San didn't say a word. While regaining consciousness from his chaotic consciousness, he used his soul power to guide the mist back to him. He was still able to control it, leaving room for retreat. give her.

"Tang San?" Ating was still standing not far away from the mist. She called him worriedly, but she didn't hear a response. Only Li Nei's heavier breathing let her know that he was still alive.

Just when Atin was anxious and didn't know what to do, a few footsteps came from behind the weeds ten steps away. She immediately turned around and looked there warily, a layer of light scales appearing under her eyelids.

"Who?"

As soon as the words fell, several figures walked out of the cluttered bushes. As soon as she saw them, A Ting showed an expression of surprise. She hurried forward to greet them: "It's you!"

"A Ting?" Ning Rongrong opened her eyes wide and was extremely happy: "It's great that you are okay."

Atin patted the back of her hand comfortingly and said with a smile, "I'm fine..."

Before he finished speaking, his left arm was held by someone. Ating turned his eyes and saw the person clearly, and was startled for a while.

"Xiao Wu..."

Little Rabbit winked at her, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Boss Dai and Fatty found me. Then we met Teacher Zhao and came all the way to find you."

"By the way, where is Third Brother?" After saying this, Xiao Wu turned her head left and right, looking for Tang San.

Atin brought Little Rabbit and the remaining people to the edge of the mist. She sighed inaudibly, with obvious gloom in her eyebrows.

"He is absorbing the soul ring."

As they walked over, several people saw the body of the Man-Faced Demon Spider. Zhao Wuji frowned and remained silent.

From his expression, the others guessed that Tang San's spirit ring would be difficult to absorb.

"A Ting, when did the mistress start absorbing it?"

There was no movement in the mist for a long time. Dai Mubai spoke worriedly. Atin lowered his eyelashes and his eyes darkened slightly when he heard his question: "It's been almost half an hour."

Dai Mubai's face also darkened. He hadn't finished absorbing it for half an hour. If he delayed it any longer, he didn't know how dangerous it would be.

"You should stop him." Once he started to absorb the soul ring, he reached a fork in the road. Whether he won or lost all depended on whether the soul master could hold on. Zhao Wuji shook his head, feeling quite sad. Heavy, this Man-Faced Demon Spider has exceeded the endurance of the third soul skill. With Tang San's current strength, if he rashly absorbs it, he will undoubtedly jump into the fire pit and burn himself in flames.

Atin didn't know how to answer him. She turned sideways, took Little Rabbit's wrist, and lowered her voice: "You have to believe him, he has always wanted to find you."

The words came out indifferently, but in two different ears, the meaning was hard to find. Xiao Wu made no move and stood beside her calmly, but would look back at Tang San from time to time. , Ating still turned away her eyes. She could control her gaze, but she couldn't control her mental power, and rushed towards his location like the tide entering the sea.
