When koi wears cannon fodder

"Jingli!!"

Little Chrysanthemum's complexion changed, and she quickly reached out to support him, but Jin Weifeng moved faster than him, and grabbed Jing Li's arm to stabilize him.

"Mr. Jing?" Jin Weifeng also looked at him worriedly, but found that the other party's eyes were closed and he had passed out.

"Send him back to the room first." He immediately said something to Xiao Juhuajing, and Jing Li hunched up and hurried to the other party's room.

Jingli was lethargic for four or five days.

Just when Hu Li was so violent that he almost demolished the mountain, he finally woke up on the evening of the fifth day.

"You finally woke up!"

Hu Li, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, saw him open his eyes, and immediately approached him eagerly, "How do you feel? Is there any other discomfort?"

Jingli turned his head when he heard the sound, and met Hu Li's worried and eager eyes. After that, Xiaojuhuajing and Jin Weifeng were also looking at him with concerned expressions. An old man with white beard and white hair.

"It's okay." Jing Li replied lazily, his voice seemed a little weak.

Even after sleeping, he was still very weak, and his whole body was unprecedentedly tired.

It seems that he still overestimated his ability, but he just used the golden words once, and he was so weak that he looked like this.

"It's good that you're fine." Hu Li was finally relieved to see that he didn't have any discomfort other than a little weakness, but when he saw his weak appearance, he became angry for a moment, "You let Let me tell you what's good about you! You can make yourself into this kind of virtue when you come out for a vacation, do you really think of yourself as the almighty savior?!"

His room is just opposite to Jingli, facing the side of the backyard. He used to build a barrier to cover himself in a strange land, so he didn't know what happened last night.

God knows how he felt when he woke up and heard the news that Jingli had fallen into a coma!

If he hadn't smelled the lingering scent of Jingli in the courtyard, he would almost have fought with the goblins here.

Just as the two of them were talking, the white-haired old man who was standing aside also walked over.

"Mr. Jing, you're finally awake." The white-haired old man was about to approach the bed excitedly, and then stopped half a meter away from the bed under Hu Li's cold eyes, "I am the tree in the courtyard, I need you Mercy regained its vitality and woke up, thank you for your generosity to our family, our family will definitely remember your great kindness."

As he spoke, the old man knelt down on the ground, and sincerely kowtowed three times to Jingli.

Seeing this, Xiao Chrysanthemum Jing and Jin Weifeng at the back also knelt down and kowtowed to him.

"you should not......"

Jing Li raised his hand to stop him, but was interrupted by the old man with a stubborn face, "This is what we should do."

"You put so much effort into saving your life, even if our clan will enshrine you forever, let alone kowtow to you."

After kowtowing, the old man didn't stand up immediately, instead he took out a green bead the size of a thumb from his pocket, raised his hands up and presented it to Jingli, saying, "Thank you for your great kindness, this is The heart of life of our family, if Mr. Jing does not dislike it, please accept it."

Heart of life?

Jing Li stared blankly at the bead exuding a strong breath of life in the old man's hand.

When he was in the Yuanling Continent, he had heard that there was a treasure in the plant world called the heart of life, which was formed by condensing the essence of the entire plant world.

Not only can it give birth to human flesh and bones, as long as there is still a breath, it can directly pull people back from the gate of hell, and it is effective for both practitioners and ordinary people. Ordinary people can even prolong life and youth forever after using it.

With this bead, it is basically equivalent to giving oneself a new life.

Possessing such a miraculous ability shows how precious it is. Even in the Yuanling Continent, it once became an existence that everyone scrambled to plunder.

Didn't expect this old man to give it to himself?

Jingli was slightly taken aback.

Although he knew that he had indeed done a great favor to the Lvye Forest family, he felt that he was far from being able to take away the treasures that had been guarded by them for generations with peace of mind.

So he didn't intend to accept it.

"There's no need for the Heart of Life," Jing Li immediately refused, "I just did what I can, and I really can't afford to be such a precious treasure."

"I know that Mr. Jing is high-minded, but please don't refuse Mr. Jing." The white-haired old man's attitude on this matter seemed very insistent, "If it wasn't for you, not only me, but all the people in my family who have not sprouted spirits The younger generation of wisdom will also quickly wither and wither, you can't repay the kindness of our family's rebuilding, old man, and only this 'heart of life' can be used."

The little chrysanthemum essence who was kneeling behind also persuaded, "Brother Jing, just accept it, it's a little bit of our kindness."

Jing Li opened his mouth and wanted to refuse, but Hu Li, who had been silent beside him, spoke before him, "If you want to accept it, you can accept it. What are you doing with the ink stains!"

"In order to save them, you made yourself into such a virtue, what's wrong with accepting their salute?"

"Besides, you are acting against your fate. You don't know what will happen later. At least you can give yourself an extra layer of protection by keeping your heart alive, and it will also prevent others from owed another layer of karma."

Seeing that Jingli was still frowning, Hu Li said again, "Okay, don't worry about it anymore, don't forget that you are still being watched by those things in the gutter behind you, you really don't intend to kill yourself! "

Hearing what he said, the expression on Jingli's face eased.

He raised his eyes and glanced at the white-haired old man, and saw that the white-haired old man passed the things in his hand to him in an instant, as if he would not get up if he didn't accept it, and finally let go.

"Then I would like to thank the old man for his gift."

"Mr. Jing's words will break me." The white-haired old man agreed, and quickly got up and handed the heart of life to him, and then said, "Since Mr. Jing is awake, the old man won't bother you any more." , I asked the kitchen to prepare some meals before, and I will have them brought over in a while."

After a pause, he continued, "Mr. Jing, please feel at ease here to recuperate. Now that the old man is here, no matter who it is, he will never let him step into the forest to bother you."

These words were a response to what Hu Li said earlier that something was eyeing Jingli.

Jing Li paused, then thought of something, and suddenly said, "Speaking of this, I have some questions to ask the old man."

"Mr. Jing, but it's okay to say."

"I don't know, the old man, but he has heard that there are spirits in the outside world who specialize in absorbing the same kind of aura and monster power to improve their cultivation?"

The old man thought for a while, then asked, "Are you talking about the group of forces in the dark forest?"

"Dark Forest?" It was the first time Jingli heard this name.

"I just remember that it was called that way before, I don't know if it has changed now."

The old man explained, "The Dark Forest has existed for thousands of years, and those things relied on killing and devouring the same kind of demon power to improve their cultivation. When the world's aura suddenly collapsed a hundred years ago, and all the same kind of cultivation almost stagnated, they no longer Satisfied with only devouring the demon power, he began to plunder the aura crazily, and did evil wantonly, regardless of the same kind or ordinary people."

This sounded close to what those things were doing.

"I don't know how much the old man knows about the power of the Dark Forest?"

"I don't know much about other things, but I know a little about the leader of the Dark Forest." The old man said, "The leader is a spirit monster with tens of thousands of years of cultivation. He is ruthless and ambitious. Although no one has seen him The original body, but the strength is the top among the outstanding ones in the demon world, and hundreds of years ago, he threatened to seize the luck of this world and subvert the way of heaven, and replace it with himself."

"It was also after that that the power of the Dark Forest began to expand crazily, and most of the monster power and spiritual energy that the monsters looted and plundered were enshrined to it."

"And more than 20 years ago, this world really almost fell into its hands, but it didn't succeed. Since then, I haven't heard any news about it."

"More than 20 years ago?" Jing Li always felt that this number made him inexplicably concerned, but he couldn't figure out why for a while.

"Yes." The old man nodded, "It noticed a crack in the void more than 20 years ago, and felt that it finally ushered in an opportunity, so it activated the formation and planned to change its fate against the sky, but something went wrong. , A white glow suddenly descended from the sky, directly destroying its formation, and even seriously injured it."

Changing fate against the sky and replacing it?

Jing Li squinted his eyes, feeling a little disgusted with that group of stinky things.

He suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart, and asked again, "Does the old man know if there is any secret treasure in the dark forest that can hide the evil spirit?"

"I don't know much about this." The old man frowned and thought for a while, then said shamelessly, "Since the lack of aura in the world, in order to maintain the seedlings in the clan, my cultivation has gradually regressed, and then I have no energy to take care of the outside world. thing."

"However, I have heard that the little monsters under the control of the spirit have directly ingested the opponent's demon soul. Even if there is a secret treasure, there is a high probability that it will not be willing to waste it on..."

"You said that the Dark Forest controls its subordinates by absorbing demon souls?" Jing Li's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and instantly thought of a possibility.

If Hu Li couldn't smell the evil spirit on those things, it wasn't because they were hiding it deliberately, but because there was no such thing at all?

Although the goblin whose demon soul has been taken away can continue to use its demon power, it will gradually lose its will as it is controlled for a longer period of time, and gradually become a puppet controlled by others.

And how could a puppet still have a demonic presence.

Jingli finally figured out why Hu Li couldn't smell the evil spirit in those things, but at the same time, he also noticed a stronger smell of conspiracy.

It seems that not only did the ghost not give up on changing his life against the sky, but he became even more frenzied in order to restore his own strength as soon as possible. From the minions under his control, he wantonly searched for all the spiritual energy in the world, even the weak plant spirits. You can see it without letting go.

"If that's the case, I think we've all been targeted by it." Jing Li raised his eyes to glance at the people around him, and told everyone his previous guess.

After saying that, seeing everyone's dignified faces, he paused and said, "You don't have to face the enemy like this."

"Since it can only control its subordinates to act as monsters, it means that its injury has not been activated for a while. We just need to find a way to completely solve it before it moves. No chance."

Hearing his words, everyone's expressions softened a little, but they were still serious.

Jing Li glanced at it, and was about to say something more, when he heard his cell phone ringing, he could only temporarily stop talking, and took the cell phone instead.

Then, after seeing the name on the caller ID, he was stunned for a moment, and then unconsciously raised the corners of his lips.
