[Twelve Kingdoms] The way back

After this incident, the relationship between Zhaoyang and the three of them got closer invisibly. Although Yixin didn't say anything, he stopped looking at Zhaoyang with vigilant eyes.

What was even more fortunate was that they found Zou Yu's footprints on the way back. Yixin and the three of them discussed it and decided to set another trap.

Zhaoyang thought about it, and agreed anyway, "However, you have to give me a wage increase."

"If you can catch it, this Zouyu will be yours."

"Deal, I swear by high-five." Zouyu is a very expensive beast, even if it is a quarter, it is enough for Zhaoyang to live without worries for a few years.

According to the previous division of labor, another Zouyu was caught exceptionally smoothly.Zhaoyang looked at this Zouyu with bright eyes, this is money.

"Don't look at it, the eyeballs will fall out." Shanquan patted Zhaoyang's head, "Hurry up and get some water before it's dark."

After several days of emergency training and the instillation of theoretical knowledge, Zhaoyang has already been able to distinguish what water is safe to drink and what water is not, what fruit is edible and what fruit is not.The speed of growth is astonishingly fast, and even Yixin said that she is more suitable to be Zhu's than they are.Which one of them hadn't studied for several years, and then worked hard in the Yellow Sea for several years to reach this level.

At any rate, she rushed into the university after being selected by the college entrance examination, and she still has some learning ability. After four years of experience of "all courses in one semester can be completed within one week before the exam", the speed of mastering new knowledge It's almost like flying.The rest needs to rely on practice and accumulation of experience.

But Zhaoyang can't say these things, if she is a mountain guest, it doesn't matter.But she is not, and she doesn't want to cause trouble.I had no choice but to accept the title of "genius" humbly and silently.

She once thought about confessing to Yingli, but she didn't dare to say it after trying several times. Later, she thought that she already had a new life, so why bother to bring up the things that have passed, which is annoying, so she can't do it. Let it go.

Thinking of this, Zhaoyang felt a little depressed again, wondering how Yingli is doing now.In terms of time, I should have graduated. Did I go to university smoothly?I remember that when she left, she left a letter to Yingli, just wrote one line.

I will wait for you to become a state official and give me a place to stay.

Zhaoyang doesn't know if she can live to that time, she just hopes that this letter will keep Yingli from ruining her future.

Just feeling sad, he accidentally stepped into a deep pit, and his foot was crooked, causing Zhaoyang to cry from the pain.Zhaoyang supported the tree trunk and sat down on the thick roots exposed to the ground.

There was a haze in front of my eyes, and I suddenly seemed to see something in the dark on the other side of the river.She wiped her eyes quickly, and when she looked over again, there was nothing. Is it my illusion?Zhaoyang looked down and saw a little yellow secretion on his hand.

"...It scared me, it turned out to be eye poo."

Zhaoyang's ankle was sprained badly, and even after taking a rest for a while, every step he took was painful.The sky was getting dark gradually, which inevitably made people feel scared. Zhaoyang endured the pain in his feet and quickened his pace.But before he walked far, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.It was still some distance from where they were stationed.

Zhaoyang started to panic. If she couldn't get back before dark, she couldn't even imagine what would happen. There was no horse, no bow and arrow, and only a winter weapon by her side.If the monster came, she would have nowhere to escape.Even if there were no demons coming, she would not be able to live for three days without food and Man Weng stones.

Most of the water in the Yellow Sea is not drinkable directly, and can only be drunk after being purified with Manweng stone.

If they abandon her, then what awaits her is a dead end.Zhaoyang gritted her teeth and stood up again. She could already leave the Yellow Sea. She must not die here, even if she crawled, she had to crawl back.

Just like this, he limped forward, couldn't bear it, so he lifted his sprained foot and crawled, and sat on the fallen tree trunk to rest if he had no strength.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and suddenly there was the sound of a branch being trampled on from the front, Zhaoyang immediately hid behind the tree, clinging to the trunk, holding his breath.

The sound was getting closer and closer, as if walking towards her, Zhaoyang closed his eyes in despair.Just when she thought she was going to be eaten, a voice came from the front: "If you don't go back, what are you doing hiding here!"

Zhaoyang opened her eyes in surprise, and seeing Yixin standing in front of her, she was so moved that she was about to cry, she couldn't believe that he would come to her.A warm feeling suddenly rose in my heart, and I lowered my head and said, "I sprained my foot."

"Sit down, let me take a look." Yixin half-kneeled in front of Zhaoyang, took off Zhaoyang's shoes and socks, touched them back and forth a few times, "It's not a big problem, hold on, I'll help you put it back."

Zhaoyang looked down at Yixin's face. Although this man had a cold face, usually had no expression, and spoke indifferently, he did not expect to be unexpectedly gentle in some aspects.

At the beginning, he also said that if she became a burden, he would abandon her, so Zhaoyang never thought that someone would come to her. They seem to have a good relationship on the surface, but they are not close enough to talk to each other.Just like Zhaoyang, she didn't tell them her real name at all.She was afraid that they would betray her if they knew she was a wanted criminal.And they didn't tell her everything, for example, Zhaoyang had only seen a strange building in the Yellow Sea once.

Even if you think about the friendship that has been together for more than a month, it is more likely that Shan Quan and Qiu Ji will come to her.He never expected that the person who appeared in front of him would be Yixin.

"How did you sprain it?"

Zhaoyang let out an "ah", and was about to say something, but Yixin straightened his feet, so that what Zhaoyang wanted to say turned into a cry of pain.

But as soon as he yelled, his mouth was covered by a big hand.Zhaoyang reacted immediately and closed his mouth tightly.

"Get up and walk around, give it a try." Yixin stretched out his hand and pulled Zhaoyang up.

After a burst of pain, Zhaoyang's foot was not as painful as before, and he was able to walk back and forth.

"Thank you." Zhaoyang thanked him sincerely.

Yixin didn't say anything, turned around and walked forward, but suddenly turned back, knelt down in front of her, and said in a rather helpless tone, "Come on, I'll carry you on my back."

Yixin quickly carried Zhaoyang back to the place where he was stationed.

"What happened?" Shan Quan asked.

"I sprained my foot, and it's healed."

"That's good, here, let's eat quickly. Rest early, we have to go on the road tomorrow."

"kindness"

Night finally came, and the bright moonlight shone through the gaps in the leaves. Zhaoyang lay beside Dabai, unable to sleep no matter what.For some reason, the scene by the river always comes to my mind, and I feel more and more weird.Zhaoyang sat up in shock.She always felt that there was something terrible in the darkness.

The more I think about it, the more frightened I feel, if it's not an illusion, if there is really something looking at her.

She stretched out her hand to wake up Yixin who was closest to her.

Because it was just a light sleep, Yixin woke up immediately, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"

"I think there is something, but I'm not sure if there is." When Zhaoyang said this, she felt unbelievable. Even monsters did not perceive the danger. How could she perceive it as a mere human? .

But not to mention uneasy, the scene by the river became more and more clear in his mind.

Zhaoyang thought that Yixin would not believe it, but he didn't expect that he immediately called Shanquan and Qiuji.Untie the rope of the beast rider, ride the beast and immediately fly forward close to the place.

At the moment they rushed out, there was a sudden loud movement from behind, and something seemed to be chasing from a distance.Zhaoyang didn't dare to look back, so he could only forcefully drive Dabai who was under his crotch, and followed Yixin and the others to fly forward.

Because they were walking through the trees, their speed was not as fast as the monsters chasing behind them, and they could only hear the voices from behind getting closer to them.

The more frightened a person is, the more he wants to look back. Zhaoyang couldn't hold back, and looked back, but he was too scared to speak after just one glance.

It was a monster with a tiger's body and a wolf's head, with red hair, black pupils like pearls, and a big drooling mouth, rushing towards them.Seeing that the distance is getting closer and closer, they are about to catch up.

Yixin suddenly rode on Zou Yu who had not yet fully obeyed, and put his original beast riding reins on the passing tree branch.The chasing monster pounced on it and gnawed, and there were bursts of screams from behind it.

However, it also restrained its actions.Let Zhaoyang and the others fly out of its sight.

Just when Zhaoyang was about to breathe a sigh of relief, a huge red-haired ape suddenly jumped out from the side of the forest and rushed towards Zhaoyang.

The scream rushed up from the lower part of the abdominal cavity like a convulsion, rushed through the chest and passed through the throat, but was finally swallowed back by Zhaoyang, who lay on Dabai's body and tightly closed her eyes.

However, the pain did not hit, only the screams from around him could be heard.This huge red-haired ape actually crossed over and threw itself straight at Church.Suddenly, there was no time to resist, and Church and the beast were thrown over. Churchill's beast rolled twice on the ground, rushed into the forest in a hurry, and soon disappeared.But Churchy could not escape the devil's catch.

Zhaoyang couldn't bear to look back, her whole body was trembling, at that moment just now, she really thought she was going to die, almost, almost was her.

The bloody smell in the air is getting heavier, and the cool night wind blows the bloody smell further away.Zhaoyang and the others could only keep flying forward.

It seemed that all luck had been exhausted before, and before flying far, there was the sound of flapping wings above his head, and Zhaoyang was horrified to see a huge shadow flying over the ground.

Shanquan once taught her that if there is a shadow flying over the ground, don't look up, and immediately hide under a tree or bush.But they are under the tree now, where else can they hide.

Zhaoyang fell into despair for a moment, she would definitely die here.

"Yuye, what are you still in a daze for? Quickly pull out your sword." Shanquan came to Zhaoyang's side and said sharply in a low voice. on the tree fork.

A huge body bent down from the air, and the hurricane blown by its wings whizzed past its back.

But the shadows on the ground did not disappear, there were two, there were two demons.

Zhaoyang only felt a chill down his back, and the fear was continuously welling up in his heart.Tremblingly, he drew out the sword, it was so big that it couldn't be hit at all.

It was too late and then soon, a figure flew down before his eyes, and his huge tail directly lifted Zhaoyang into the air.

Zhaoyang's eyes went dark, and in the next second, he was hit hard on the head and lost his balance.She clung to the reins tightly and braced her legs to keep herself from falling.Once it falls, there is no way out.

She felt that her face was wet, her forehead felt pain, and blood mixed with tears flowed down.

Ridiculously, she actually cried.

As soon as Zhaoyang stabilized his figure, he saw that Yixin was already fighting with the monster, but his strength could not withstand the strength of the monster after all, and he was knocked to the ground.

"Follow the jade leaf" Shanquan will catch the reins of Yixin's riding beast and throw it to Zhaoyang, "Don't look back, keep flying"

Yes, don't look back, Zhaoyang, you are just an employment relationship, just run for your own life, don't look back.
