The narrations floated slowly, softly and slowly, and gradually revealed their sadness.
As she spoke, Ning Man'er's tears began to slide down from the corners of her eyes to her cheeks, gently hitting the vines.
Crying and crying, she was also tired. Her exquisite body curled up in the small tree root trough, and she fell asleep with moist eyes... On the desolate land, there was a huge dead old tree, and a person huddled in it.
The sleeping girl under the tree formed a sad and sad painting.
This painting is still and alternates with time. In the past, every spring, summer, autumn and winter, she would huddle under the tree. Now she is tired and sleeps like this, as if she never wants to wake up and wants to be with her.
This old tree sleeps together.
The Silent Forest was completely silent. The sky was still empty. Occasionally, a cold wind blew by, but no sound was made.
The wind and sand are blowing up, slowly eroding the last remains of the old sacred tree.
The branches of the old tree that were too dead to stand swayed slowly, making a creaking sound, and those extremely withered leaves were crumbling... The wind became stronger and stronger, and the lifeless leaves finally fell off the old branches, one piece after another.
The pieces fall, slowly and lonely.
The old sacred tree is very tall, and the process of leaf falling lasts for a long time. After a long time, the leaves that have fallen from heaven to earth finally fall under the roots of the tree.
These old leaves happened to cover Ning Man'er's small wooden bed, wrapping her delicate body.
The sleeping girl didn't notice it, and subconsciously grasped the old leaves with her small hands. The corners of her pink lips gently raised, looking peaceful and pitiful.
...Luolin "Chu Mu, what's wrong?" Pang Yue stopped and looked back at Chu Mu who suddenly slowed down.
Chu Mu did not answer. At this time, he was holding the small tear crystal in his hand and staring at the scene in the tear crystal.
The picture in the tear crystal was a little blurry, but Chu Mu saw the depths of the Silent Forest from this drop of Ning Man'er's tear crystal. He saw Ning Man'er huddled alone under the dead old tree.
He stopped talking to himself and saw her sleeping tiredly... just like an injured girl nestled in the arms of her grandfather who loved her the most.
Due to the soul contract, Chu Mu not only saw Ning Man'er's current scene, but also Ning Man'er's past memories.
Every part of this memory is so simple, including Ning Man'er's snuggling and talking now, which is also so simple. But I don't know why, after seeing the scene of Ning Man'er presented by the tear crystal, my heart felt sour.
, I really want to fly to the depths of the Silent Forest right now, pick her up, and comfort her.
"Chu Mu?" Pang Yue called Chu Mu again.
Chu Mu came back to his senses and glanced at Pang Yue.
"What's wrong?" Pang Yue continued to ask.
"Nothing, I thought of something. How far are we from the Silent Forest?" Chu Mu asked.
"It's not far. We'll probably arrive in a few days. There were some problems with our previous route, otherwise we could have arrived earlier," Pang Yue said.
"Oh, let's hurry up as soon as possible at 1:30. Ning Man'er is already in the Silent Forest. I'm worried that Kang Ruodong and the others have noticed it." Chu Mu said.
Chu Mu is really worried about Ning Man'er now.
"Okay." Pang Yue nodded.
Everyone could also see that Chu Mu was very anxious, so they increased their speed and began to rush towards the Silent Forest Fortress.
...About two days later, the Silent Forest Fortress finally appeared in the eyes of everyone in Chu Mu.
After entering the fortress city, the five people immediately began to search for the whereabouts of Kang Ruodong and others.
"The Kang Ruodong you are talking about, I don't know if he is in the city or not, but a group of people started to enter the Silent Forest a day ago, and they all appear to be very powerful." A guard guarding the city said.
"One day ago?" Chu Mu immediately frowned.
This news was undoubtedly bad news for Chu Mu, because Kang Ruodong and the others must have gone for Ning Man'er. If he had been one day behind them, they might have taken Ning Man'er away.
Chu Mu was immediately anxious and didn't want to waste too much time in this fortress city.
"Chu Mu, let's go to the depths of the Silent Forest now. The terrain of the Silent Forest is relatively complex, and they may not be able to reach the depths of the Silent Forest in one day." Prince Chao said.
While the five of them were inquiring with the guards, about five hundred meters away from Chu Mu and others, a Shenzong member stared directly at the five of them.
After a long time, this Shenzong member seemed to be sure of something and hurriedly ran somewhere.
Chu Mu didn't realize that anyone was staring at him just now. After getting the exact news, the five of them immediately headed outside the city.
Not long after running outside the city, a group of people suddenly caught up with them from behind. Their target was obviously Chu Mu and the other five.
"Chu Mu, there are more than ten or twenty people behind you!" Ye Wansheng said.
Chu Mu turned around and glanced around, and immediately saw a familiar face.
"It's those people like Shangguan He who I met in Lincheng!" Prince Chao immediately recognized three of them.
"Why are they here?" Pang Yue said in confusion.
Among that group of people, there were indeed three people, He Shangguan, Caiyun and Wanjun. However, what Chu Mu didn't expect was that they also came to Silent Forest.
In this way, it is not a coincidence that the three of them came to Lincheng. It is very likely that they, like themselves, went to ask the old sect leader about the Heavenly Boundary Monument Kang Ruodong's interception of Ning Man'er.
"How could it be him??" Suddenly, Xiaoxiao looked behind in surprise, staring at a person closely.
Pang Yue looked around and found Xiaoxiao staring at a young man wearing a bamboo hat.
This man should be one of the leaders of the group, followed by seven or eight people.
"Who is he?" Pang Yue asked.
"It's my senior brother Huo Lei, the most powerful young disciple in our Monster Palace!" Xiaoxiao said.
That group of people was indeed divided into two groups, one side was the Shenzong people headed by a man wearing a brocade robe, and the other side was the Monster Palace members headed by the Huo Lei that Xiaoxiao mentioned.
What is very strange is that none of these people carry any obvious identification marks. You must know that usually members of the Shenzong will directly show their authoritative identities when traveling.
"Master Xu, it's them!!" Suddenly, an angry voice came from behind. This voice belonged to He Shangguan!
The soul pet controlled by Commander Xu, who was wearing a brocade robe, was very fast. He and the people behind him quickly caught up with Chu Mu and the other five, and Huo Lei from the Monster Palace also caught up with them.
"Xiao Xiao, why are you here?" Huo Lei saw Xiao Xiao at a glance, and his brows immediately furrowed, looking very unhappy.
"You asked me to pursue that matter, so I traced it here." Xiaoxiao said.
"Nonsense!" Huo Lei shouted seriously and continued, "Are you going to the Silent Forest? Are you in charge of this matter? Go back to the fortress city and don't go anywhere."
Huo Lei said to Xiaoxiao like an elder.
"You are not my father, why should I listen to you!" Xiaoxiao said very annoyed. She hated it when her elder brother Huo Lei spoke to her in such a commanding tone.
Huo Lei's face immediately darkened.
"Brother Huo, this girl is...some of her friends are very arrogant. They killed two of my subordinates' soul pets..." Chief Xu said.
"She is my fellow junior sister, and her master is also her father. This girl has a weird nature and is difficult to control. If she has offended her in any way, please forgive me, Chief Xu." Huo Lei said with a hint of politeness.
"Oh, it turns out she is Mr. Xiao's daughter... Of course we will not embarrass Miss Xiaoxiao. This matter can be handled calmly. In fact, it is not a big deal, don't you think?" Chief Xu said with a smile, with that look in his eyes
He quickly turned to the three men behind him.
He Shangguan wanted to say something else, but when they heard that Xiaoxiao was Mr. Xiao's daughter, their expressions suddenly changed.
He Shangguan was not a fool. Mr. Xu would never offend Mr. Xiao from the Monster Palace for people like him, so he could only say with a smile: "Indeed, we were also at fault in that matter."
"You, and you, follow Miss Xiaoxiao and escort her back to the fortress city." Huo Lei glanced at the men behind him and said.
Lord Xu looked back at his men and said, "You guys will stay too."
After saying this, Master Xu turned his eyes to Chu Mu and others, and said, "Just stay in the fortress city for the time being. We will resolve this matter when we come back from Silent Forest."
Chu Mu's heart sank immediately. These people obviously wanted to put them under house arrest in the fortress city.
However, Kang Ruodong had already left a day early. If he was delayed in the fortress city again, Chu Mu was really worried that Ning Man'er would fall into Kang Ruodong's hands.
"Chu Mu, what should we do now?" Pang Yue asked immediately.
These people are very powerful, especially Chief Xu and Huo Lei, the top disciple of Monster Palace, who have definitely reached the immortal level. With their strength, it is impossible to confront them head-on.
"Let's go back to the fortress city first." Chu Mu said.
Chu Mu knew very well that it was unwise to confront these people head-on. Chief Xu and Huo Lei must also be eager to find Kang Ruodong in the Silent Forest. It was impossible for them to waste time here. Rather than confront them head-on, it would be better to
It's better to obey first and let these two stronger people leave, and then go to Silent Forest after they leave.
Chu Mu took the lead to put away the soul pet, and the others had no choice but to recite a spell to take the soul pet back into the soul pet space.
Huo Lei and Chief Xu's men came forward and sealed the five people's soul thoughts.
"You guys should keep an eye on them until we come back from Silent Forest, got it?" Chief Xu glanced at He Shangguan, Yun Cai, and Wan Jun, and said.
Huo Lei also left three men behind, asking them to keep an eye on Xiaoxiao and not let her run around again.
Watching his men bring the five people back to the fortress city, Chief Xu glanced at Huo Lei and said, "We have to hurry up, Kang Ruodong has been gone for a day."
"Don't worry, he still has to go around the middle and outside of Silent Forest. We can't be much slower," Huo Lei said.
After the two of them finished speaking, they took a group of men and flew towards the depths of the Silent Forest!
...Hun Nian was sealed and escorted back to the fortress city, and Chu Mu and the other five were placed under house arrest in a courtyard.
Because of Xiao Xiao's relationship, although He Shangguan, Yun Cai, and Wan Jun had deep resentment towards Chu Mu and others, they still did not dare to take any obvious revenge. After all, the three people from the Demonic Beast Palace treated Xiao Xiao very well.
Respectfully.
"Chu Mu, I'm sorry. The trouble I caused prevented you from getting to Silent Forest in time." Ye Wansheng said to Chu Mu with a face filled with shame.
Chu Mu shook his head and said: "It's okay. I asked Bai San to go to Silent Forest before us two days ago. It should be able to come to Ning Man'er quickly to protect her. And...what do you think of these useless people?
