Amidst the sweet and almost ethereal shouts, Ling Chen stiffened his body and turned around slowly, his mental alertness reaching its peak. The moment he turned around, he saw a petite red shadow.
She was running towards him. The moment he saw her clearly, Ling Chen was stunned for a moment.
This is really a girl...a young girl who is younger than he expected, only twelve or thirteen years old at first glance. The girl has a beautiful snow-white face and big eyes like glass.
With a clear and transparent body, a petite body, a slender waist, a cute and hot red princess-style dress, and soft long hair that naturally flows around her shoulders and is beautifully coiffed... the girl's entire appearance is simply exquisite.
It's too much. It looks as cute as a doll that can dance on the palm of your hand, and as delicate as a budding rose. It is incompatible with the dim and gloomy surroundings, just like placing a beautiful girl from a cartoon in a lifeless cemetery.
Uncoordinated.
"Huh... Big brother, I finally caught up with you." The girl trotted up to him, breathed a long sigh of relief, then raised her cute cheeks, her eyes flashed, and she looked at him carefully.
Wearing him, a fiery red dress embellished this immature girl's body with a charming and charming look that was inconsistent with her age. She laughed, and her smile was very sweet: "Brother, where are you going? Why are you here?
?”
This overly cute girl gave Ling Chen a huge visual impact, making him almost have the urge to hug the girl. Moreover, her approach did not bring the slightest sense of danger, and neither did Xiao Hui beside him.
Any strange behavior. But the vigilance in his heart could not be relaxed. He frowned and asked: "Who are you?"
"Me?" The girl pointed at herself, her slender eyebrows lightly arched: "My name is Xi Ling, big brother, you can call me Lingling!"
Xi Ling? What's this girl's name? Ling Chen looked at the girl intently. In such an environment, this girl who suddenly appeared behind him made it impossible for him to let down his guard. He looked into the girl's eyes, and all he saw was
Sincere, crystal clear, eager... there was also a touch of joy that he couldn't understand. In addition, he didn't know if it was reflected by her fiery red clothes, but he found that the girl's eyes seemed to have a little red color. Apart from these, from now on,
He couldn't see anything dangerous in this girl's eyes...
What is this girl...
"Why are you here?" Ling Chen continued to ask.
The girl was much shorter than Ling Chen. When talking to Ling Chen, she could only raise her cheeks. Her smile was still so sweet: "I asked my elder brother this question first. He should answer it first."
."
Ling Chen: "..."
"Big brother, don't you want to answer? Then let me say it first... I got lost in this place and couldn't find my way home, and then I saw big brother! Big brother, this place is so scary, please take me with you
How about leaving here?" After the girl finished speaking, she looked at him with her crystal eyes unblinking.
Ling Chen's eyes narrowed and he lowered his head slightly: "It's not good for children to lie."
Outside the Lonely Soul Ridge is a gloomy place that can swallow life. How could a child get here safely? And he will not forget that before the girl made a sound, he didn't notice her approach... This is not true at all.
Probably an ordinary girl.
There is nothing dangerous about this girl, either in her aura or in her eyes...
The girl immediately shook her head vigorously: "I'm not lying! I'm really lost... Big brother, please take me out of here, please. I'm really scared of this place."
"Then tell me, where is your home?" Ling Chen said with a half-smile.
The girl blinked, and after a while, she smiled innocently: "Wherever big brother goes, that's my home."
"..." The girl's words made Ling Chen couldn't help but be amused. He smiled, and just as he was about to speak, the girl had already spoken before him: "Brother, I have already answered. Now it is my turn to answer."
Excuse the previous question...Why is Big Brother here?"
Ling Chen thought for a moment and replied: "I came here to find something called 'Black Flame Grass', which is a grass that looks like a black flame. Have you seen this kind of grass around here?"
"Black Flame Grass?" A look of surprise appeared on the girl's face: "But, there was no such thing as Black Flame Grass here a long, long time ago. Don't you know, big brother?"
"No more? What do you mean no more?" Ling Chen was shocked... Could it be that his guess was really a fact? But this girl, why did she know!?
"No more means no more. They were all extinct a long time ago and can no longer grow back..." Halfway through her words, the girl suddenly saw the deeply disappointed expression on Ling Chen's face. Suddenly, she
He stopped what he was saying and asked instead: "Big brother is looking for Black Flame Grass for something very important? Is one of Big Brother's friends seriously poisoned and needs Black Flame Grass to detoxify it? Black Flame
Grass can dissolve many, many kinds of poisons."
Ling Chen nodded numbly... If what this girl said was true, then why did he come here so hard? Could it be that the task assigned by the Lord of Qinglong City... was simply an impossible and huge cheating task!?
"Hehe... Big brother, I lied to you!" Seeing Ling Chen nod, the girl pursed her pink lips and smiled: "The Black Flame Grass will never become extinct. I just saw it.
."
"Really?" Ling Chen immediately asked anxiously: "Where did you see it?"
"This... don't tell big brother yet. If big brother is willing to promise me something, I will get the black flame grass for big brother. Otherwise, big brother will not be able to find it by himself." The girl's eyes
Sparkling, as bright as stars. Ling Chen could not understand the desire and hope revealed in the beautiful eyes.
"What's up?"
The girl immediately answered, so seriously: "Let me follow my big brother from now on. Wherever my big brother goes, he will take me with him? Okay?"
"Why..." Faced with the extremely weird request made by this mysterious girl, he couldn't adapt. The gloomy and terrifying environment, the sudden appearance of a beautiful girl, the girl who wanted to follow him for no reason...all of this came together to make him
There is even an unreal feeling like being in a dream.
"Because... because..." The girl stretched out her delicate fingers and tapped her lips. After thinking for a while, her eyes lit up and she answered him with a sweet smile: "Because I like big brother!"
Ling Chen: "..."
Although Ling Chen never thought that he was very ugly, but... he shouldn't be so popular that a girl would cry and yell at him if he took one look at him, wanting to follow him.
"Then it's decided! Big brother can't go back on his word!" Without giving Ling Chen a chance to answer, the girl answered on his behalf with a smile on her face, "Then, I will go and bring the Black Flame Grass to big brother now.
……ah?"
The girl was about to run away when she suddenly saw Xiao Hui at Ling Chen's feet... It was all gray here, and Xiao Hui was all gray again and was so small, so the girl didn't see it just now. She came immediately
In front of Xiao Hui, he squatted down, stretched out his tender hands to hold Xiao Hui's head, and said lovingly: "Wow! What a cute little dog... Little dog, what's your name?"
"Its name is Xiao Hui." Ling Chen had to answer for Xiao Hui, who couldn't speak, and then explained by the way: "It's not a dog."
"But it is just a very cute dog..." The girl raised her lips slightly and patted Xiao Hui's head, "So your name is Xiao Hui, and your name is as cute as you. Xiao Hui, we will meet later
Let’s play again. I’ll help big brother get the Black Flame Grass first, and I’ll be back soon.”
"Big brother, if you keep your word, if I get the Black Flame Grass back, you must promise to let me follow you. Wherever your big brother goes, you will take me with you... Don't go back on your word!"
After saying that, she stood up, held up the hem of her skirt with both hands, and ran away lightly. After a short while, she left Ling Chen's sight, and the sound of her footsteps gradually disappeared.
Ling Chen was completely speechless.
Xiao Hui, who had been touched by the girl, showed an expression of joy and enjoyment at this time. Xiao Hui was very sensitive to danger. Ling Chen knew very well that his reaction to this girl at least proved that the girl just now did not exist for them.
Any bad intentions will not bring any danger to them.
The "terrible guy" guarding Lonely Soul Ridge has killed countless living beings near Lonely Soul Ridge in the past ten thousand years. He is definitely not a kind person. In other words, this girl should not be able to talk about money.
That "terrible guy". Then again, how could the monster-level figure who has been here for more than ten thousand years be such a naive and cute girl.
However, the appearance of this girl was too unusual. Her series of actions, as well as the request that she insisted on agreeing to, were even more abnormal that he could not accept and understand. What on earth did this girl named Xi Ling do?
What's going on? And, can she really find the Black Flame Grass?
Ling Chen did not leave, and stayed in place with Xiao Hui, waiting for the girl to really bring back the Black Flame Grass. He had been thinking hard about the girl's origin, looking for and guessing various possibilities.
“Woo…Woo…Woo!!!!”
While he was thinking, Ling Chen's ears suddenly heard a roar that was almost like a roar... and this voice actually came from Xiao Hui.
"Small gray?"
"Woo!!!!!!"
Xiao Hui's current state shocked Ling Chen... Its limbs were pressed tightly to the ground, and its body stretched into an almost twisted shape. All the gray hairs on its body stood up, like upright steel rods.
The gaping mouth was like a needle, revealing teeth that were clenched together fiercely. Eyes that emitted a terrifying and fierce light stared at the dim sky.
At the same time, a terrifying aura that instantly chilled Ling Chen to his bones descended from the sky, making him feel as if he had fallen into an abyss. Cold sweat soaked all his clothes in just a few seconds...
…………
The sky slowly turned dark, the cold wind stopped whistling, and everything fell into a dead silence that was more terrifying than hell.
