Qin Chong followed the iron-eating beast's gaze and looked deep into the bamboo forest.
There was darkness ahead, with only the rustling of the wind and the gently swaying bamboos.
Look away.
Lu Xueqi was lying in her arms, her eyes closed, and there was a touch of softness on her face.
Qin Zhong squatted down so that the person in his arms could lie down more comfortably.
The surroundings are the scene after the war, a state of depression.
The soil underfoot has been crushed several times and is in a messy state.
Only when you are farther away can you see the black bamboo still growing tenaciously.
Qin Zhong looked around and saw a relatively flat stone in the black bamboo forest not far away.
Feeling the softness in his arms, he gently used strength to carefully hold the person in his arms and walked towards the stone.
Keep your steps as smooth as possible to prevent the person in your arms from feeling bumpy.
After sitting on the stone, Qin Zhong breathed a sigh of relief.
Lowering her head, Lu Xueqi was still lying quietly, showing no sign of waking up.
I don’t know what I was dreaming about, but a faint smile appeared on my face.
The surrounding wind is still blowing, bringing a little bit of coolness.
Qin Chong lowered his head and looked at the person in his arms, feeling that the years were peaceful and peaceful.
There was a roaring sound in the sky.
Qin Zhong looked up.
It's Xu Yangzi flying here.
He waved to Xu Yangzi.
Xu Yangzi also saw Qin Chong sitting by the bamboo forest.
Come over here quickly.
"Brother Qin."
Seeing Lu Xueqi sleeping in Qin Chong's arms.
A worried look appeared on Xu Yangzi's face: "How is Junior Sister Lu?"
"Quiet."
Qin Zhong whispered to Xu Yangzi.
His eyes were always looking at the person in his arms without leaving.
"Junior sister just lost her strength, there is no other serious problem. Brother Dao, don't worry."
Seeing that Qin Zhong did not raise his head, his voice was calm.
Xu Yangzi was stunned for a moment.
He also noticed that Qin Zhong looked at Lu Xueqi with soft eyes.
Xu Yangzi suddenly reacted.
He bowed his hand to Qin Zhong and said in a low voice: "Brother Qin, I'm sorry, I just couldn't help you much."
"Fortunately, Brother Qin and Junior Sister Lu have advanced cultivation skills and were able to repel the Demon Cult demons."
"The trail is really shameful."
"Now that there is nothing else to do, Xiaodao said goodbye to Brother Qin and returned to the mountain gate to practice in seclusion."
"Brother Qin, please take care of yourself."
After saying that, he glanced at the exhausted iron-eating beast, turned around, and prepared to leave.
Qin Zhong said to Xu Yangzi: "Brother Dao, take care. Junior sister is in such a bad state that I can't see him off. I hope you will forgive me."
"You're welcome."
Xu Yangzi smiled at Qin Chong.
He set up Yu Ruyi and headed towards the sky.
Qin Zhong suddenly remembered that Xu Yangzi had had close contact with the iron-eating beast, and he should have asked him just now if there was anything deep in the bamboo forest that the iron-eating beast cared about.
When I raised my head, I saw that Xu Yangzi was already far away in the horizon, and there was only a small dot left.
He shook his head and thought: "Forget it, let's go to the depths of the bamboo forest and take a look after Junior Sister wakes up. Something that the iron-eating beast will never forget before it dies must not be an ordinary object."
I sat there for a long time, watching the sun hanging high above my head and setting towards the west.
Fortunately, this place is blocked by the bamboo forest, and the hottest sunlight at noon does not shine directly here.
On the contrary, there is a cool wind blowing from time to time.
Otherwise, Qin Zhong would have no choice but to risk disturbing Lu Xueqi's sleep and take her out of here.
For a whole day, I couldn't do anything. My right hand was placed under Lu Xueqi's head, and I never had a chance to move.
He just sat there.
Qin Chong didn't feel the slightest bit impatient, he just kept looking at the person sleeping peacefully in his arms, feeling calm and peaceful in his heart.
There is even an idea that time is frozen here.
When the sun is about to set.
Lu Xueqi made a soft sound.
Finally woke up.
When he opened his eyes, what came into view was Qin Zhong's appearance.
He smiled softly, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, then stood up.
Look back to where you were.
Qin Chong is still in the same place and has not turned into a phantom and disappeared.
"Senior brother."
The smile on his face became more obvious, and it was so sweet that I really wanted to stick to it and touch it gently.
Qin Zhong came to his senses and stood up quickly.
"Junior sister, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere else?"
He asked with a little embarrassment.
"It feels good."
Lu Xueqi carefully felt the situation inside her body.
It's really good. After a good sleep, the situation of running out of mana has disappeared.
Some of the injuries that originally occurred due to the use of the Divine Sword and Thunder Control Technique have also been repaired.
Feel the breath still remaining in your body.
Lu Xueqi knew that it was Qin Zhong who healed her.
The most important thing is that I slept very peacefully, perhaps because I knew Qin Zhong was by my side to protect him.
I feel warm and peaceful in my heart.
Looking at Lu Xueqi with a faint smile on her face and her breath restored.
Qin Chong was also very happy.
A smile appeared on his face.
"Senior brother, what happened to the demon witch?"
Lu Xueqi asked, still thinking about Baguio, and as soon as she recovered, she asked Qin Zhong about the situation.
"You were taken away by her men. When I saw that you were out of strength, I was worried about your injuries, so I took care of you first."
Qin Chong replied: "Those demon sects took advantage of that moment and left with Baguio."
"Baguio?"
Lu Xueqi was confused: "Senior brother, do you know the name of that demon girl?"
Qin Zhong was stunned for a moment and looked at Lu Xueqi's confused eyes.
"Didn't I tell you?"
Lu Xueqi shook her head.
"When we were at Kongsang Mountain, do you still remember the two yellow-clothed disciples of the Ghost King Sect that we captured?"
"Um."
nodded.
Lu Xueqi returned: "Senior brother said at that time that those people followed their sect master's daughter to the Dead Soul Abyss."
"Yes, that's Baguio. After you left the Dead Soul Abyss, I saw her there once."
"Maybe I thought it was not a big deal at the time, so I forgot to tell you her name."
Lu Xueqi nodded.
Accepted Qin Zhong's explanation.
Then he looked at the body of the iron-eating beast in the open space outside the bamboo forest.
"Why do they, the Demon Cult, come to find the iron-eating beast?"
"have no idea."
Qin Zhong shook his head.
"By the way, after you were unconscious, I saw the iron-eating beast looking into the bamboo forest before it died."
"Perhaps, their purpose is hidden inside."
"Let's go take a look."
"Um."
Lu Xueqi nodded.
The two of them walked towards the depths of the bamboo forest together.
Not long after, there was a mountain wall in front of us.
Standing at the foot of the mountain wall, looking up, you can't see the end.
There is a dense bamboo forest on both sides, blocking the view.
"Brother, come and see."
Lu Xueqi's voice sounded not far away.
Qin Zhong walked forward following Lu Xueqi's voice.
Not far away, there is a cave hidden in the corner of the cliff.
Outside the cave is a huge stone. Under the cover of the stone, it is easy to overlook the cave behind the stone if you don't pay attention.
Lu Xueqi had already walked toward the cave along the gap between the rocks and the cliff.
