Chapter Thirty-Six [One Thing Drops One Thing] Part II
Having said that, the road still had to go on. Tang Lie carried Xuan Bo on his back and walked out of the woods. A large river lay in front of him, and a suspension bridge connected the two sides of the river.
Xuan Bo lay on Tang Lie's back and fell asleep. Tang Lie walked slowly onto the suspension bridge. When he reached the center, he looked down and saw the water flowing down like a twisted dragon.
In the narrow rift valley, there are roaring waves, white waves rushing up, and the sound of waves hitting the rocks is loud and loud, resounding in the valley.
Xuan Bo was also awakened by the sound and looked up blankly. Then his pretty face was attached to Tang Lie's broad shoulders. Tang Lie smiled and said, "Do you feel better?"
Xuan Bo didn't speak, and Tang Lie said: "If people want to give up, they will be over as long as they relax a little. I have encountered countless difficulties, and I have also thought about giving up, but I persisted in the end, because in my heart
There is another wish, and I will never give up until my wish is fulfilled."
Xuan Bo's beautiful eyes flashed with strange brilliance: "What is your wish?"
Tang Lie showed a mysterious smile: "I will only tell it to the person I love the most!"
Xuan Bo's pretty face turned red, and naturally he couldn't follow up on the following words: "Cunning!"
Tang Lie smiled and took out the crystal that Xuan Bo spit out from his waist and handed it into Xuan Bo's hand. Xuan Bo raised her delicate hand high, and the crystal drew a beautiful arc in the air and fell into the rushing water.
Amidst this, the two of them laughed together.
There is also a stone forest in Tang Lie's world, but the stone forest here is completely different. Natural stalagmites rise abruptly from the ground, towering into the clouds. The stalagmites are all green in color, and they shine with crystal light under the sunlight.
It looks like a community carved from jade.
When you walk in, you will see that the stalagmites here are all naturally formed. There is no vegetation covering them. They are thickest at the bottom, gradually become thinner from bottom to top, and shrink into points at the top. They look like steel needles looking up to the sky.
.
After Tang Lie and Xuan Bo walked into the stone forest, they entered a large maze and wandered among the stalagmites for a whole morning before arriving at an open area. From where they were, they could see a tower not far ahead.
Grotto, several sets of men's clothes are drying outside the grotto.
Tang Lie said happily: "There is someone!"
Xuan Bo reminded Tang Lie in a low voice: "We'd better be careful, don't let the enemy discover our traces."
Tang Lie was secretly amused. This noble princess who did not eat the fireworks of the world had suddenly matured a lot in the past two days. The two of them looked around and made sure that no one was ambushing them. Then they cautiously walked towards the grotto. There was no one in the grotto.
Today, the two of them took a drink from the water tank in front of the door, and then filled the water bag.
Xuan Bo took off the ring on his hand and placed it next to the water tank, but Tang Lie put it away: "What are you doing? Do you want to leave clues for people to follow?"
Xuan Bo said with some guilt: "Isn't it bad for us to take it for ourselves without asking?"
Tang Lie laughed: "No one lives here at all. If we don't take these things, others will take them away!" He took off the clothes hanging outside and shook them. As expected, there was a lot of dust on them.
Due to long-term exposure to the sun, the clothes have faded, but they are hundreds of times better than Tang Lie's current tattered pants.
"Wow! You actually stole something!" Xuan Bo said angrily.
Tang Lie glared at her: "This is called borrowing, do you understand? If you don't let me wear clothes, do you still want to continue to visit my body for nothing?"
Xuan Bo was so angry at his strong words that he stamped his jade feet.
Tang Lie pushed open the door of the grotto, walked inside and put on his clothes in a big way.
Xuan Bo was a little worried and went outside for him, fearing that the master would suddenly come back. It seemed that Tang Lie was right, this grotto should have been abandoned and no one lived there.
Tang Lie walked out of the room in high spirits. He actually found a brand new red dress from the grotto. Tang Lie smiled and said, "I didn't expect there was a new dress in the box. You're lucky!"
Although Xuan Bo felt that there was something wrong with Tang Lie's behavior, beautiful dresses had a huge lethal effect on every girl, especially girls in ragged clothes.
Tang Lie handed the dress to Xuan Bo: "Go and put it on. You have been wearing such revealing clothes all day long and dangled in front of my eyes. One day I will not be able to control you!"
Xuan Bo hit Tang Lie on the shoulder. She had long been accustomed to Tang Lie's glib words, and the distance between her and Tang Lie was getting closer and closer subtly. Even if Tang Lie said provocative words, she had no reason to do so.
Act like a princess.
The red dress that Tang Lie discovered by accident was of moderate tailoring, just right to match Xuan Bo's tall figure. The skirt and cuffs were embroidered with exquisite patterns. Even Xuan Bo, who was accustomed to wearing exquisite clothes, was amazed by it.
Tang Lie did not stop doing anything and took away a scimitar and a leopard skin mattress found in the grotto.
This was the first time in Xuan Bo's life that he stole other people's things. He was so frightened that he was afraid of being discovered by others. After leaving the grotto for a long time, Xuan Bo still looked behind him and said with some guilt: "I don't know the owner of the grotto."
When you find out, will you scold us?"
Tang Lie held the scimitar behind his shoulders with both hands: "Go your own way and let others scold you!"
"You are so thick-skinned!" Xuan Bo smiled.
Tang Lie pointed at her red dress: "I am the mastermind and you are the accomplice. We are all in the same boat. No one can say who is wrong."
Going deep into the stone forest, the road became more and more complicated. In the eyes of the two of them, the surrounding environment was almost exactly the same, without any characteristics at all. The position of the sun became the only criterion for them to judge the direction. Seeing that it was getting late, Tang Lie
It is recommended to rest on the spot and continue moving forward after sunrise tomorrow.
The temperature in the stone forest is very low at night. There is a lack of vegetation and no wood for heating. Tang Lie puts the stolen leopard skin mattress on Xuan Bo. Xuan Bo gradually begins to understand Tang Lie. Although Tang Lie is cynical and glib on the surface,
, but his heart is open and honest, especially in danger, he always thinks of the safety of others first. Such a chivalrous heart is not something ordinary men can possess.
Tang Lie stretched his arms, and the cold night air made him couldn't help but sneeze.
Xuanbo said softly: "If you are cold, come over here!"
Tang Lie almost thought that he heard wrongly. Didn't Her Highness the Princess take the initiative to hint to him? The girl took the initiative to invite him, so of course he couldn't refuse it. Tang Lie came to Xuan Bo with a playful smile and stretched out his hand to lift her mattress.
, Xuanbo screamed: "What do you want to do?"
Tang Lie said in astonishment: "Sleep!"
"Who wants to sleep with you? I'll let you stand aside!" Seeing that Tang Lie misinterpreted what she meant, Xuan Bo couldn't help but feel embarrassed and anxious. Her original intention was to get Tang Lie closer to her, but she didn't expect Tang Lie to get closer to her.
He actually wanted to go somewhere else, so he looked into the distance awkwardly, only to see a black silhouette standing on the top of the stone forest.
Tang Lie suddenly realized something from Xuan Bo's sudden change in expression. He suddenly raised his head and saw more than a dozen figures, large and small, standing on the top of the surrounding stone forest. He and Xuan Bo were already surrounded by enemies.
Tang Lie took a breath of cold air, pulled out the scimitar from his waist, and protected Xuan Bo behind him. After being shocked, he couldn't help but secretly thought that Xuan Bo had spit out the crystals in his body, so how could the enemy still find them?
A man's voice came from a high place: "I didn't expect that a pair of dirty thieves broke into this stone forest! I kindly provided water to passers-by, but you didn't thank me after drinking it. Instead, you stole my clothes and took away my clothes."
Property is really shameless!"
Only then did Tang Lie figure out what was going on. It turned out that these people were the owners of the grotto, and the reason why he surrounded them was because he took the other party's property without asking.
Xuan Bo's pretty face turned hot. No matter what their starting point was, the theft had now occurred. They were clearly at fault and it was right for others to be angry. He whispered to Tang Lie, "What should I do?"
Tang Lie whispered: "It's okay, it's just a few clothes, it's a trivial matter!" But he didn't have any confidence in his heart, so he said loudly: "This hero, it seems that this is a misunderstanding, we left the reward, is it possible?
Didn't you see it?"
The man sneered: "Misunderstanding?" His sea-blue eyes shot out with angry light in the night. He jumped into the air from the top of the stalagmite, spread out a pair of broad and powerful wings on his back, circled deftly in the air, and headed towards
Tang Lie's position suddenly swooped down.
The twelve men on the stalagmite launched attacks almost at the same time. From their jumping and flying postures, Tang Lie suddenly thought of Xuan'er and guessed that these people might be from the same wing tribe as Xuan'er.
"Listen to my explanation..." Tang Lie immediately understood that his shouting was in vain.
The leader of the Wing Clan man had a snake-shaped spear made of fine steel from nowhere in his hand. He was looking down from a high position and stabbed Tang Lie in the chest with a roar. Tang Lie quickly drew out his scimitar,
The sharp scimitar picked up a ray of moonlight and headed straight towards the opponent with a magnificent light.
The blade struck the tip of the spear accurately, and the two air waves surrounding the weapon collided heavily, and a muffled sound of "Boo!" was heard in the night sky. Tang Lie was at an absolute disadvantage at the beginning of the confrontation.
His body involuntarily took two steps back, and the Wing Clan man feinted with his spear in the air. He did not expect that Tang Lie could actually block his move.
Xuan Bo held Tang Lie's arm. At this time, the Wing Clan man did not launch a second attack. He flapped his wings and flew vertically upwards. Twelve Wing Clan warriors swooped down from twelve different angles.
Tang Lie secretly shouted that it was not good. If they attacked at the same time, he would never be able to withstand their powerful attacks.
