The black shadow came unexpectedly, carrying a pungent stench.Seeing that he was about to pounce on the white-clothed scholar, he was suddenly separated by a silver light. Under the reflection of the white light of the night pearl, the brilliance of the blazing sword edge made by the soul of the sword overflowed, like frost and snow condensed, black and white. The swordsman in clothes glared at the suddenly approaching black shadow with his sword in his hand, but the black shadow had no intention of retreating, but confronted Tao Mo with that strange knife.Tao Mo had already prepared. He had long felt that the person who pretended to lure them away had continued to follow them, but he was a little careless just now when he and Bai Wangyan investigated the ruins.At this moment, he clenched the hilt of his sword tightly, rushed towards the black shadow with a stride, and then wrestled with the black shadow.

Seeing Tao Mo fight with the shadow, Bai Wangyan was anxious.The foul wind he smelled just now should be the poison quenched on the shadow knife, but he was afraid that he would disturb Tao Mo if he shouted, so he couldn't use martial arts, so he had to hold the night pearl in both hands and stare at the shadow. One move at a time.

This black shadow move is extremely fierce, even if it is injured by the Zhuohua sword, it still sticks to it like a tarsal maggot. Seeing this kind of reckless dismissal, Tao Mo felt a little strange in his heart. The Zhuohua sword in his hand is indeed real. He actually cut into the black shadow, but he always felt as if he was stuck in a quagmire.Bai Wangyan was standing not far away. The light from the Ye Mingzhu should have been brighter, but this figure still seemed to blend into the darkness behind him. Can't see the man's face.

It's almost like rejecting all the light.

The sword clanged, and Zhuo Hua's blade touched the curved hook knife. The man turned his hand, and the sharp hook knife almost caught Zhuo Hua. Fortunately, Tao Mo reacted very quickly and pulled the sword back in an instant.

At this moment, a familiar smell of decay slowly seeped out from the surroundings.Tao Mo couldn't remember where he had smelled it for a moment, the black figure in front of him suddenly disappeared out of thin air, he screamed inwardly, stabbed behind him with a sword, and the figure who wanted to attack him from behind let out a scream , dodged back into the darkness.At the same time, Tao Mo turned his head to see that Bai Wangyan was running towards him holding Ye Mingzhu.

"Hurry up!" The scholar in white grabbed his arm nervously, and hurriedly dragged him out of the hole where he came and went.But before he ran a few steps, Bai Wangyan suddenly stopped walking and coughed violently. He was seriously ill, and he had been struggling to come here just now. At this time, his emotions were too ups and downs, and his illness had just recovered started to show up again.Seeing him coughing so hard, Tao Mo was about to reach out to pat him on the back when, out of the corner of his eye, he saw the billowing white mist emerging from the altar, like a giant beast awakened from sleep by blood, It was about to roll towards the entrance of the cave where they were.

The familiar smell of decay was actually emitted by this white mist!And the white mist rushing out from the altar had approached behind them in an instant, which was even more unexpected than the black shadow.

It's too fast, if you don't leave quickly...

Without any delay, Tao Mo said to Bai Wangyan, "Hold on tight", held the white-clothed scholar in his arms with both hands crossed, and rushed out of the cave with his footwork.And the black shadow that followed them from the forest didn't stop them after leaving.

The speed of the white mist was far faster than expected. Fortunately, the Yunbo footwork of the Qiushui Sword School emphasized the word "fast". Wang Yan ran towards the direction outside the forest.I don't know when, the forest that was originally full of vitality fell silent again, except for the violent heartbeat of Tao Mo himself and Bai Wangyan in his arms, there was nothing else. The river under the sun is getting closer.

Although Tang Lin had used the antidote to remove the poison on the claws of the Shuangyue Pavilion Song Envoy, the damage to his body was still very fatal. At this moment, Bai Wangyan felt as if his heart was being torn apart. Tao Mo galloped forward with his arms in his arms, his mind was spinning, and he was overwhelmed. He didn't know how to feel ashamed of the current hugging posture. He only hoped to quickly retreat outside the forest and end this dangerous trip.But the more he felt uncomfortable, the tighter his hands gripped Tao Mo's shoulders. When Tao Mo finally carried him back outside the forest, he found the white-clothed scholar in his arms resting his head on his shoulders, his face pale.

"Let's come out." Tao Mo carefully put him back on the ground, but just when he touched his hand, his fingertips seemed to touch solid ice.I don't know if it was because of the fright or the illness, Tao Mo didn't think too much, just patted Bai Wangyan on the shoulder and asked, "How do you feel?"

"It's okay." Bai Wangyan staggered a few steps just as his feet stood on the ground. He pushed away Tao Mo's hand to hold him, took a deep breath, and said with a wry smile, "Fortunately, Ah Mo is here. Otherwise, I would really be 'gone forever'."

"Let's go back first." Tao Mo said, looking back into the forest.The white mist did not catch up, it is unknown whether it dissipated in the forest, or looked back at the two of them in the deep forest.This trip in the forest took several hours, it was morning when the three of them split up, and now it is afternoon.The sun shone on the river surface, emitting golden light, and it was only when he looked up and saw the shining sun that Tao Mo felt relieved, feeling like "finally escaped".

Bai Wangyan managed to calm down his discomfort, and began to secretly regret it again.The chronic poison on the "Candle Dragon Claw" is still lingering. Although the antidote is used to cure the poison, the damage caused is still difficult to heal in an instant. Fortunately, Bai Wangyan does not need to use it like Tao Mo. Thanks to the internal strength, it is also fortunate that this claw did not hit Tao Mo. This kind of chronic poison is designed to suppress martial arts practitioners with strong internal strength. Once they try to use their own internal strength to force the poison out of the body, they will undoubtedly die.And when he calmed down his physical discomfort, he remembered the posture Tao Mo hugged him just now...

"What?" Seeing that Bai Wangyan hadn't moved for a long time, Tao Mo thought he was even more unwell, and quickly approached him. Seeing that he was about to hug him again, Bai Wangyan quickly stepped back.

"I said it's fine," Bai Wangyan frowned, "Let's go, let's go back first."

His hand froze in mid-air, but he let it go immediately. Tao Mo frowned and thought for a while, but he didn't understand why the white-clothed scholar was upset.Is it because he has never fought against that black figure, or because he is not recovering from a serious illness, and he is not happy after being subjected to this turbulence again?When he froze in place, Bai Wangyan had already walked quickly to the bridge, turned around and called him, "Tao Mo!"

Hearing him call his name, Tao Mo slowly moved away, and walked towards the bridge with his head depressed.

In the forest, the black shadow that had been following them at a distance disappeared behind the tree again.

The two answered Tang Lin's house one after the other. As soon as they opened the door, they saw Tan Taiying sitting in the courtyard, talking and laughing with Asha.At this time, the Lord of the Excalibur Shaogu was weaving some kind of mouse and grasshopper for the girl with a blade of grass, which made Asha laugh non-stop. When he saw the two people coming back, he immediately stopped his movements and said to the girl. The two laughed and said, "Are you back?"

"En." Tao Mo replied dully.

Bai Wangyan walked up to Tantaiying, looked at the unfinished grasshopper in his hand, and laughed: "Master Shaogu, you have not forgotten your skill when you come to Miaojiang, you are really vigilant Ah." After that, he suppressed the smile on his face, walked over the surprised Tantai Ying, and walked straight into the room.

Tan Taiying heard Bai Wangyan's strange sarcasm attitude, looked up and saw Tao Mo who was expressionless, and asked doubtfully, "What's wrong with you?"

Tao Mo glanced at him and shook his head: "I don't know."

"This...it was fine before going out..." Tantaiying looked at the black-clothed swordsman who cherished words like gold with a puzzled face, and she guessed a little bit in her heart. Asha looked at the attitude of the two people, Standing up from the steps, patted her skirt, said to Tantai Ying with a smile: "I'm going back first too, I must come tomorrow."

"Yeah." Tantai Ying smiled and nodded in response.He watched the back of Asha's departure, his face finally sank, Master of the Excalibur Shaogu turned around, and followed the two into the house.At this time, Tang Lin still hadn't returned from picking the medicine, and there were only three of them left in the house.

It was eerily quiet.
