Chapter 407 "Ambiguous Night"
"Huff! Huff! Huff! "
Qiao Qiao felt her breathing become more and more intense.
Although Qiao Qiao was an eighth level warrior, she had just suffered a serious injury. Although there was a treasure like the Fountain of Youth to heal her injuries, the vitality in her body was not so easy to recover.
At this moment, the sky was completely dark. In this mountain forest, there were deep and shallow steps. The further in they went, the harder it was to walk. Qiao Qiao already felt that her physical strength had reached its limit.
As for Du Wei, although he was not a true warrior, after more than two years of training in the Starry Sky Dou Qi and the Great Snow Mountain Technique taught by Bai Hechou, his physique and endurance far surpassed that of an ordinary person.
Trudging through the mountain path, he seemed to be more relaxed than Qiao Qiao.
Since the two of them entered the mountain, they had already walked for two hours.
Moreover, the two of them were clearly magicians, but Du Wei insisted that Qiao Qiao not use magic to fly or increase the speed of their advance.
"Don't forget, I still have the imprint of elven magic in my body! Luoxue must have discovered a total of eight magic imprints in his' surprise '! But, you know, other than myself, the other seven imprints are all ordinary birds and beasts! Although Luoxue has been confused by us, he still has a special ability, which is to sense the fluctuations of magic elements in the air far away! If we use magic to hasten our journey, then it is the same as pointing out a direction for Luoxue! After all, although birds and beasts carry elven magic crystals, they cannot use magic to hasten their journey! If we use magic to hasten our journey, then Luoxue will sense the fluctuations of magic elements! Then all our previous efforts will be wasted! "
Seeing that Qiao Qiao seemed to be unable to hold on, Du Wei stretched out his hand, grabbed Qiao Qiao's back, and put it under her armpit, half supporting her forward.
In this way, half of Qiao Qiao's weight fell on Du Wei's body.
Qiao Qiao's heart couldn't help but soften. Borrowing a bit of starlight from the gaps between the dense leaves above her head, she glanced at Du Wei. She saw that Du Wei's face was grave and stern, and his eyes revealed a trace of determination. Although he was panting heavily, his eyes didn't waver in the slightest!
Gradually, Qiao Qiao's heart could not help but be distracted for a moment. The face of this wretched looking young man beside her was vaguely similar to the face of that young man on that deserted island in the sea, who had intentionally hidden himself with a cold face and secretly nibbled on grass while giving her the wild fruits and food. The two faces gradually overlapped in Qiao Qiao's eyes …
"Ah!"
Qiao Qiao screamed and her body fell into Du Wei's embrace. Du Wei knitted his brows and lowered his head to look. He saw that Qiao Qiao's boots were worn out. A sharp sawtooth plant had cut out a wound on her ankle.
Du Wei took a deep breath and had Qiao Qiao sit down. Then, he held up her leg and carefully inspected it for a moment. Finally, he smiled and said, "It is all right. That is a 'Freeman Sawtooth Shrub'. Although it is a little hard, it is not poisonous. Additionally, it is a good thing. "
He turned around and used his dagger to cut out a section of the sawtooth shrub that had cut Qiao Qiao's leg earlier. Carefully, he removed the hard sawtooth on the surface of the shrub, revealing the soft part inside. Then, he handed it to Qiao Qiao. "Take a bite and chew on it for a while. This plant can refresh your mind. Additionally … … if there is a shortage of food, you can use it as food to allay your hunger. "
Looking at Qiao Qiao's bloody ankle, Du Wei sighed. He retrieved a clean set of clothes from his storage ring, tore off a piece of cloth and bandaged it for her. "A pity. This is a minor injury. Don't waste the precious Fountain of Youth on it. Right now, we are unable to utilize the Light Healing Technique to heal it. Just bear with it for a while. "
After saying that, Du Wei raised his head to look at Qiao Qiao. However, he found that there was something wrong with Qiao Qiao's face. She was staring at him. Although it was dark, her pair of bright eyes were exceptionally clear …
"Oh … … ah, I understand." Qiao Qiao recollected herself and appeared somewhat flustered.
Earlier, when Du Wei was hugging Qiao Qiao's leg, she felt Du Wei's fingers gently caressing her ankle. Qiao Qiao felt as though her heart was about to leap out from her chest!
Thankfully, their surroundings were dark. Du Wei should not have been able to clearly see her expression …
Qiao Qiao, who had the mentality of a young girl, seemed to have forgotten that she and Du Wei were both magicians. As for magicians, due to their powerful mental strength, their five senses were far more sensitive compared to ordinary people.
Thus, although their surroundings were dark, Du Wei was able to clearly see the change in Qiao Qiao's facial expression.
(Sigh …). Du Wei sighed inwardly. On the surface, however, he maintained a nonchalant expression.
For a moment, the two of them were lost in their own thoughts and fell into silence.
After a moment, Qiao Qiao's heartbeat gradually calmed down and she could not help but whisper. "We … … how much longer do we have to walk?"
"En, it's about time." Du Wei thought about it. "I am currently looking for a 'suitable' place … … presumably, there should be a place within this forest that I am looking for."
After saying that, Du Wei suddenly turned around and crouched down before Qiao Qiao.
"En, you, what are you doing?"
"Carrying you." Du Wei gave a short answer.
Qiao Qiao felt the temperature on her face, which had just dropped, begin to heat up again. "I, I don't want to! I have legs to walk on, why do I need you to carry me! "
Du Wei did not care about that and simply carried Qiao Qiao on his back. Qiao Qiao cried out in a low voice. She did not know what kind of mischievous state of mind she was in, but after a symbolic struggle, she allowed Du Wei to carry her forward.
After walking for a while, she heard Du Wei's breathing gradually becoming heavier. Qiao Qiao could not help but lament in her heart. Although her face was still stiff, her tone could not help but reveal it. "Hey, can you still do it? If you can't … … then, put me down. "
Du-Wei was panting and laughing at the same time. In the darkness, his teasing tone was full of determination: "Jojo, didn't I tell you? A man must never say 'no'! "
Finally, the two of them walked for a while. After passing through a stretch of forest, the area before them suddenly opened up.
In front of this forest, there was actually a flat area with a radius of less than half a mile. This was an open area surrounded by trees. The ground in front of them was covered with a thick layer of leaves. Faintly, there was a rotting smell that assailed their nostrils.
Du Wei had only just taken a step forward when he felt his feet going soft. He quickly retreated and looked at the mud beneath his feet. He smiled. "Thankfully, I retreated quickly. Turns out, this is a swamp!"
The seemingly flat area before them was covered with a thick layer of withered leaves and branches. However, beneath the thick layer of leaves was soft mud. It was a bottomless swamp! If one did not know, one step forward and they would fall into it.
Du Wei finally put Qiao Qiao down. Although they had only walked for a short period of time, Du Wei had already reached his limit.
That was especially true when Qiao Qiao was crouching behind him. Although this woman was wearing armour in the past, after she was injured, she had taken off the armour. Just now, when she was crouching behind Du Wei, her body was plastered onto Du Wei's back.
As they walked, they rose and fell. Du Wei could clearly feel the two soft lumps of Qiao Qiao's body pressing against his back. That feeling was simply a mix of happiness and torment …
Qiao Qiao had also sensed that something was amiss. Originally, she had been trying to support herself with her arms. However, after her strength was gradually exhausted, her body involuntarily plastered itself onto Du Wei's back. She was a girl. Although she had a somewhat sturdy temperament, she was still the same as an ordinary girl. She clearly knew that this posture was inappropriate. However, at that moment, she dared not speak up.
Along the way, the two of them stuck "closely" together. When Qiao Qiao was put down by Du Wei, her body was limp. She leaned against the tree trunk and panted. However, her eyes were fixed on Du Wei. Her eyes were almost dripping with tears. She bit her lips, her pretty face was flushed, and her eyes were full of hidden bitterness.
Both of them had ulterior motives. Du Wei was silent for a moment and was about to speak.
Suddenly, he heard a clear and cold voice from afar!
"Du Wei! How long do you think you can hide! Humph … You're so cunning. Do you really think I can't catch you this time?! "
This voice floated in the air as if it came from all directions! That indifference carried a strong confidence. Who else could it be but Luoxue?!
Qiao Qiao's expression changed. She was about to open her mouth and exclaim when Du Wei had already hugged her and forcefully covered her mouth. He said in a low voice, "Don't be nervous! He didn't find us. This is using magic to activate the sound and cover a large area! Humph, he's trying to scare us! "
As expected, Qiao Qiao, who had calmed down, carefully identified the sound. Although the sound floated, she finally discovered that it came from the far east. It floated in the air, sometimes loud and sometimes small. The sound waves swept toward the west …
"Humph, he couldn't find us, so he thought of this to alert the enemy. He wants to scare us into running out in a panic!" Du Wei smiled coldly.
However, he was also faintly shocked!
Using magic to activate the sound and spread it over a large area was an action that consumed a lot of magic. Hearing that the sound came from the far east and traveled all the way to the west, he didn't know where it ended!
The depth of Luoxue's magic was truly amazing!
Qiao Qiao calmed down slightly and asked, "Du Wei, where do we go next? Let's quickly leave this place. This place … really stinks! "
Indeed, because the swamp in front of them was covered by a thick layer of withered trees all year round, the corrosive smell from below wafted up in waves. Coupled with the fishy mud, the smell really made one want to vomit.
However, Du Wei calmed down soon after. He felt around in his clothes for a while, as if he felt something, and held it in his hand.
He pursed his lips and smiled, glancing at Qiao Qiao. "Are you afraid of smells? Then I'm afraid it's going to be more difficult for you next … Come, be good and listen to me. Pinch your nose and only use your mouth to breathe … "
He actually took out a small clip and clamped Qiao Qiao's nose without any resistance. Looking at Qiao Qiao's strange appearance with a small clip on her nose, Du Wei didn't dare to laugh, afraid that he would anger this sturdy lady and then pull her hand.
In the darkness, Du Wei clearly felt that Qiao Qiao's soft little hand seemed to dodge, and then seemed to hesitate for a moment before taking the initiative to stuff it into his hand. That soft little hand seemed to be full of sweat and trembled slightly.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here. I believe that Luo Xue will definitely be fooled this time! It's just that it's going to be a bit smelly later, so you have to bear with it. "
After saying that, he pulled Qiao Qiao and took a step forward.
"Where, where are we going?" Qiao Qiao was shocked.
Du Wei's expression was strange, and he pointed at the swamp in front of them, half smiling. "Of course it's here … Go down!"
Qiao Qiao's expression changed, and she stared at the stinky swamp in front of her, saying in a trembling voice, "Down … down?!"
Girls naturally liked cleanliness, and this immediately made Qiao Qiao feel a sense of resistance in her heart.
However, the person holding her little hand was Du Wei, whom Qiao Qiao couldn't resist in her heart at this moment. After being held by Du Wei, Qiao Qiao's body seemed to have gone soft, as if being held by this detestable youth, even if they walked to the ends of the earth, mountains of swords and seas of fire, as long as the other party held her hand and moved forward, she would no longer have the slightest intention of resisting …
Finally, the two of them stepped into the soft swamp, and their feet went soft, as if countless disgusting and slippery mud had flowed into their boots. Qiao Qiao only felt her heart tremble, and involuntarily, her body tilted, and with a soft "moan", she fell limply into Du Wei's arms …
