The noisy atmosphere seemed to have a sense of distance. Zhou Yue felt that the surrounding world was slightly farther away from herself. Although her body was still a little dizzy, her consciousness seemed to be clearer.
During a dinner party today, a colleague in the department who has been divorced for more than two years announced that she will get married next month. The person was introduced by a friend. Although his income is not as good as mine, he is very good to her and her two children.
Although this colleague had threatened everyone that he would never get married again when he got divorced, this time he announced that he was getting married, but everyone did not mention it and expressed their blessings to him.
In fact, if we think about it from our perspective, we feel that this is a very understandable decision.
How difficult it would be for a woman who has been alone for many years to support a family with two children who have just entered elementary school. No matter how strong a woman is, deep down in her heart, she will always long to find a man to lean on. If you think about it a little, it will be natural.
very clear.
And for any person, in such a situation, if they meet the right person, they will most likely choose to get married again. After all, the two children are still young, and giving the two children a perfect family is very important for their growth...
…
"Sister Li's success in finding a good home is the result of her hard work over the past two years.
Hey...but what about Sister Chen? I remember that Sister Chen has dated some men before and after these years, and she also said that she has remarried, but nothing has happened yet." Zhou Yue was thinking about the two men in her department as she walked.
I went home slowly to attend to my colleagues' matters.
At eleven o'clock at night, Wang Xiaoru was still awake. Seeing that Zhou Yue was a little drunk when she came back, she brought a glass of orange juice from the refrigerator.
"Xiaoyue, are you having a drinking contest with Lin Ling again?" Wang Xiaoru guessed.
"Yeah." Zhou Yue took a few sips, chatted with Wang Xiaoru for a few words, then went into the house to get her pajamas, and then went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Zhou Yue adjusted the nozzle to the cold water side. The water temperature was still a bit freezing in the summer night, but Zhou Yue felt that it was still not enough to wake herself up, so she put on the shower gel and simply rubbed it and rinsed it off.
Opening the shower curtain, Zhou Yue just wanted to reach out and hook up the hanging bath towel when his head suddenly felt dizzy again. Before he realized it, the sole of his foot slipped and he fell sideways on the bathroom floor.
Wang Xiaoru, who was outside, heard the movement in the bathroom and hurried to the door and asked eagerly, "Xiaoyue? Are you okay?"
Zhou Yue endured the pain and said hurriedly, "No, I'm fine, I just accidentally fell."
Wang Xiaoru pressed the bathroom door handle and found that the door was not locked. Zhou Yue inside said hurriedly, "Xiaoru, I'm fine..."
Zhou Yue struggled to lift herself up, one foot was so painful that she couldn't use her strength at all, so she could only kneel on the ground with one knee to barely support her body and wrap the towel around her chest.
At this time, Wang Xiaoru also opened the bathroom door, and immediately came over to hold Zhou Yue's arm and help Zhou Yue up.
Zhou Yue couldn't use one foot, and half of her body was leaning on Wang Xiaoru's arm.
Wang Xiaoru put one hand on Zhou Yue's waist, put Zhou Yue's arm across her shoulder with the other hand, and half-supported and half-hugged Zhou Yue back to the bedroom.
Zhou Yue sat on the edge of the bed. Wang Xiaoru went to the bathroom and handed another towel to Zhou Yue, asking her to wipe her hair first. He held Zhou Yue's right foot with one hand and held her slender ankle with the other.
A pale golden light arose, and it moved slightly.
"Hiss..." Zhou Yue took a breath and let out a cry of pain, "It hurts so much."
Wang Xiaoru used her powers to help Zhou Yue soothe the pain from the sprain, and said softly, "It's a little swollen. I don't know if it hurts the tendon. I still have half a bottle of safflower oil at home. I'll go get it and rub it for you."
.”
After saying that, she got up and went out to get a small bottle, opened the cap and poured some into the palm of her hand. She rubbed her hands together a few times, then put Zhou Yue's injured foot on her thigh, and gently held Zhou Yue's hand.
Yue's right ankle started to rub.
"Hiss..." Wang Xiaoru rubbed her hands so hard that Zhou Yue kept inhaling.
"Be patient, you'll feel better soon," Wang Xiaoru said.
"If it's still like this tomorrow morning, I can only ask Lin Fei to come and help me treat it." Zhou Yue said to Wang Xiaoru who stopped.
"Well, it's getting late, you should go to bed early!" Wang Xiaoru said with a smile, got up and left Zhou Yue's room.
…
It was past twelve o'clock in the morning, in the dead of night, with half a bright moon hanging outside the window.
Zhou Yue wore a small black silk sling with very little fabric. Because of the pain in her right foot, she couldn't sleep, so she had to lean on the bedside and play with her mobile phone. Her large snow-white skin glowed with a delicate ivory luster under the light.
, a little dazzling.
There is really little fabric in the sling, and it is very cool even if worn in summer. However, she is obviously only wearing this one, and her skin is tender when she moves.
"Looking at it like this, I won't be fine tomorrow morning." Zhou Yue put down her phone, looked at the condition of the sprained right foot, and muttered.
Then, she picked up her phone, opened WeChat, and sent a WeChat message to Lin Fei: Lin Fei, when you wake up and see this message from me, come to my house. It's urgent.
…………
The area developed by the Sixth Town Spirit Realm Station.
At dawn, everything that had slept all night gradually woke up. Starting from where a psychic off-road vehicle stopped, a small paper crane flew horizontally for a few hundred meters and then began to climb towards the heights of the jungle. Li Dongchen followed closely behind.
.
The farther away from the ground, the sparser the vegetation becomes. Although there is a dense canopy of trees overhead, the number of giant trees is only a small part after all, and it becomes increasingly difficult to choose the location of the foothold.
In the end, Li Dongchen had to use a flying spiritual weapon to ensure that he could keep up with the little paper crane.
"Pattering..."
It started to rain lightly in the clear sky. Fortunately, it didn't take long for the little paper crane to slow down gradually. After all, there is a limit to the growth height of huge trees.
At a height of nearly 150 meters, Li Dongchen squatted among the branches of the trees. The rainwater fell on the dense branches and leaves around him, causing large splashes of water. There were several overlapping and sunken branches and leaves that formed small waterfalls.
Looking down, there was first a large empty space, and then there was a patch of dark green vegetation mixed in the rain curtain. It was a jungle formed by normal trees.
The cold wind from high altitude brought raindrops to his face. Li Dongchen grabbed the branch next to him with one hand and held it in front of him with the other. He endured the beating of the rain and squinted at the lizard lying on another tree crown more than ten meters away.
Strange beast.
"This is not the target we are looking for, but why did the little paper crane guide me here? I wonder if Zhang Xiaolu and Lao Jiang have encountered the same situation as me."
The lizard in the distance was at least three meters long. Its dark green body covered with scars lay across the main branch. Its tail was wrapped around the branches in a spiral shape, and it used four claws to stabilize its body.
It seemed to be in a state of sleep, with its head hanging casually to the side. The blood-stained scales embedded in the flesh on its neck were particularly conspicuous, and its pair of protruding, weird-looking eyeballs were tightly closed. Only the spikes on its back trembled from time to time.
Down.
"The problem should lie in the blood-stained scales." Li Dongchen already had a guess in his mind and made a decision immediately.
A light golden aura instantly appeared on Li Dongchen's legs. He pushed the branch under his feet hard, and his whole body was ejected with astonishing momentum.
At the same time as his body shot out, Li Dongchen held the spiritual sword in front of him with both hands, and shot towards the lizard beast like an arrow from the string.
As expected, the vibration of the branches woke up the lizard beast, and its wide field of vision immediately noticed Li Dongchen who was already there.
Just as he was about to escape, the blood-stained scales inserted into his neck suddenly became abnormal. A strong electric current burst out from the blood-stained scales, causing the lizard beast's whole body to tremble, and its thinking was forced to a halt.
"It's so easy to succeed?! Well... it should also be related to the sudden burst of electricity on the scales." Li Dongchen looked at the dazed lizard beast in front of him, his expression couldn't help but be happy, and then the doubts in his heart became even worse.
However, just when he was about to slash it with his sword, the lizard beast in his field of vision suddenly blurred and disappeared from its place.
"Invisibility?! How can it become invisible so quickly while its body is paralyzed? There is a problem."
A strong sense of crisis suddenly surged into his heart, forcing Li Dongchen to forcefully change his trajectory.
"Wha..." Almost at the moment Li Dongchen broke away from his original movement trajectory, a scream sounded in front of him.
The air waves caused by the rapid shuttle of something hit Li Dongchen's face, and then the branch below with a diameter of nearly half a meter was stabbed through.
"Chu."
The blade of the sword was inserted into the giant tree to forcefully stabilize his body. Li Dongchen first glanced at the location of the lizard beast.
It didn't disappear at all, but quickly climbed to somewhere in the tree canopy above, wailing continuously, and the weird tone sounded like it was calling for something.
Looking up to the top of the tree crown, I saw that the light and shadow there seemed to be distorted for a moment, and then returned to calm the next second.
"It turns out there is an invisible lizard beast lurking nearby." Li Dongchen, who came to this conclusion, immediately recalled some strange things that the three of them encountered along the way.
"Trouble, it seems there are enemies hiding in the dark to cause us trouble."
Using the long sword as a lever, he did a backflip and landed on a nearby branch. At this moment, Li Dongchen looked a little solemn.
I originally planned to use a sneak attack to quickly resolve the battle and get the blood-stained scale, but now I was completely ruined due to the appearance of the second lizard beast.
At this location, nearly 150 meters above the ground, the flying spiritual weapon is temporarily unusable because it has not yet passed its cooling time. If you lose your footing and fall, the consequences are self-evident.
What's more, the new lizard beast that appeared was much stronger than the lizard beast at the beginning, which made Li Dongchen feel alarmed.
"To avoid the appearance of other lizard beasts, I must make a quick decision. After getting the blood-stained scales, I will leave here immediately and go to join Zhang Xiaolu and Lao Jiang."
As soon as he thought of this, Li Dongchen immediately stood up and stepped on the branches to approach the lizard beast that was in extremely poor condition. He counted the time in his mind and waved a small paper crane at the guy's head.
The little paper crane immediately ignited after flying out, and a fireball suddenly shot away.
As expected, the other lizard beast hidden in the canopy at the top struck again.
Although Li Dongchen sensed changes in the opponent's spiritual energy fluctuations, with his naked eyes he could only vaguely see a thick and strong tail swept by the wind and rain, colliding with the fireball, causing water vapor to burst into the air in an instant.
Li Dongchen was waiting for this opportunity. Even if he still couldn't see the opponent's figure clearly, the rushing water vapor could not deceive him at all.
He had already locked onto the opponent's position, and using the visual interference caused by the water vapor, he launched another attack without hesitation.
But this time, his attack posture changed. He held his sword horizontally in front of him and charged directly into the tree crown above.
Almost at the same time, the large raindrop in front of Li Dongchen was smashed by something, and blood sprayed out immediately.
Li Dongchen's body, which was still moving forward bravely a second ago, completely slumped down. The tongue that penetrated his chest and abdomen has now returned to its original form, dragging Li Dongchen's body back to its original form.
This is a similar beast that is nearly one-third larger than the lizard beast Li Dongchen saw at the beginning.
It is covered with brown and green smooth skin, and with the surrounding wind and rain, and the changes in the position of the branches and leaves, layers of light and shadow change, almost perfectly hiding its position.
The ugly head with horns on the top, and the convex eyeballs on the left and right sides were surrounded by a pale golden aura, locked firmly on Li Dongchen, who was directly penetrated by his tongue.
There is no doubt that it is stronger and faster than the injured lizard beast, and it is an experienced hunter.
Now it was time to enjoy the prey. His tongue dragged the motionless Li Dongchen back, but just when he was about to swallow the prey into his mouth, a long sword thrust out first and stabbed him straight.
It entered the position between the eyes of the lizard.
Li Dongchen was thrown out in the fierce struggle of the alien beast. He grabbed the branch, raised his head, wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth, opened his mouth and laughed into the wind, "I didn't expect it! I have awakened more than one superpower.
,This little injury is nothing to me!"
Yes, the second power that Li Dongchen awakens is to recover the injuries sustained within 10 seconds, except for the head.
The completely dead lizard beast could no longer stay among the branches and swayed to the ground of the jungle. Li Dongchen looked at the other lizard beast that was already in chaos and hesitated to move forward.
"Huh...it's your turn next." Li Dongchen pressed on his abdomen, which had been penetrated before but has now returned to its original state, without any ink marks, and rushed over.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Of course, the injured lizard beast will not sit still and wait for death. Although it knows that it is no match for the enemy in front of it, it still uses all its strength to fight back.
"Kacha, kacha..."
The slippery tongue broke through the rain curtain, Li Dongchen dodged left and right, and the thick branches were interrupted one after another by the tongues of strange beasts.
"Pfft."
The long sword glowing with spiritual light thrust out and penetrated directly between the lizard beast's eyes. Its death was exactly the same as that of its companion who died before it.
