Ling Chen's body stiffened as he heard the almost ethereal shout. He slowly turned around, his mental alertness stretched to the maximum. The moment he turned around, he saw a petite red figure jogging toward him. The moment he saw her clearly, Ling Chen was slightly stunned.
It really was a girl … a girl who was even younger than he had expected. At first glance, she looked like she was only twelve or thirteen years old. The young girl had a beautiful snow-white face, and her large eyes were like glass, clear and transparent. Her petite body, slender waist, and fiery red color were adorable. She wore a princess-style dress, and her soft long hair was combed and combed naturally over her shoulders … The girl's entire appearance was simply too exquisite. She looked as cute as a doll that could be palm-dancing, and as delicate as a budding rose. She was completely out of place in the dark and gloomy surroundings. It was as if a beautiful girl from a cartoon had been placed in a lifeless graveyard, and it was as incongruous as a beautiful girl from a cartoon scroll.
"Phew … Big brother, I've finally caught up to you." The girl jogged up to him and let out a long sigh of relief. Then, she raised her extremely cute face and looked at him seriously with her sparkling eyes. She was dressed in fiery red clothes, and the young girl's body was embellished with a touch of seductiveness that did not match her age. She smiled sweetly. "Big brother, where are you going? Why are you in this place? "
This overly cute girl gave Ling Chen a huge visual impact. He almost had the urge to pick her up. Furthermore, her approach did not bring about any sense of danger. Little Gray, who was beside him, did not react strangely either. However, he could not let his guard down. He frowned and asked, "Who are you?"
"Me?" The girl pointed at herself, and her slender eyebrows arched. "My name is Xi Ling. Big brother can call me Ling Ling!"
Xi Ling? Was that the girl's name? Ling Chen stared at the girl. In this kind of 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 saw only sincerity, sparkling passion … and a touch of joy that he couldn't understand. In addition, he didn't know if it was because of the reflection of her fiery red clothes, but he found that the girl's eyes seemed to be a little red. Apart from that, he couldn't see anything dangerous in the girl's eyes …
Who was this girl …
"Why are you here?" Ling Chen continued to ask.
The girl was much shorter than Ling Chen, so she could only raise her face to talk to Ling Chen. Her smile was still as sweet as ever. "I asked Big Brother this question first, so Big Brother should answer first."
Ling Chen: "…"
"Big brother, don't you want to answer? Then let me say it first … I got lost in this place. I couldn't find my way home, and then I saw Big Brother! Big Brother, this place is so scary. Can you take me away from here? "The girl finished speaking, and her sparkling eyes stared at him without blinking.
Ling Chen's eyes narrowed, and he slightly lowered his head. "It's not good for children to lie."
Outside of the Lonely Spirit Ridge was a gloomy place that could devour life. How could a child safely pass through there and come here? And he wouldn't forget that before the girl spoke, he didn't even notice her approach … This couldn't be an ordinary girl.
This girl, whether it was her aura or her eyes, didn't have any dangerous elements …
The girl immediately shook her head. "I didn't lie! I really got lost … Big Brother, can you take me away from here? I'm really scared of this place. "
"Then tell me, where is your home?" Ling Chen said with a smile that wasn't a smile.
The girl blinked, and after a while, she smiled innocently. "Wherever Big Brother goes, that's where my home is."
"…" The girl's words made Ling Chen laugh. He smiled, and just as he was about to speak, the girl beat him to it and said, "Big Brother, I've already answered. Now it's Big Brother's turn to answer my previous question … Why is Big Brother in this place?"
Ling Chen slightly thought, and replied, "I came here to find something called 'Phyllostachys Nigra'. It's a kind of grass that looks like a black flame. Have you seen this kind of grass around here?"
"Phyllostachys Nigra?" The girl's face showed a surprised expression. "But, this place didn't have Phyllostachys Nigra for a long, long time. Big Brother, don't you know?"
"No more? What do you mean no more? "Ling Chen was shocked … Could it be that his guess was true? But this girl, how did she know!?
"No more means no more. They all went extinct a long time ago, and they can't grow anymore …" The girl spoke halfway, and suddenly saw the deep disappointment on Ling Chen's face. She immediately stopped what she was saying, and asked, "Big Brother, is it because of something important that you're looking for Phyllostachys Nigra? Is Big Brother's friend seriously poisoned and needs Phyllostachys Nigra to detoxify it? Phyllostachys Nigra can detoxify many kinds of poisons. "
Ling Chen nodded, a little stupefied … If what this girl said was true, then why did he come all the way here? Could it be that the mission given by the Azure Dragon City's mayor … was simply an impossible and ridiculous mission!?
"Hehe … Big Brother, I lied to you!" Seeing Ling Chen nod, the girl pursed her tender lips and smiled, "Phyllostachys Nigra won't go extinct, I just saw it."
"Really?" Ling Chen immediately asked, "Where did you see it?"
"This … I won't tell Big Brother yet. If Big Brother is willing to promise me one thing, I'll get Phyllostachys Nigra for Big Brother. Otherwise, Big Brother won't be able to find it by himself. "The girl's eyes sparkled, as dazzling as the stars. Ling Chen couldn't understand the desire and hope in her beautiful eyes at all.
"What is it?"
The girl immediately answered, and her answer was very serious, "Let me follow Big Brother from now on. Wherever Big Brother goes, take me there. Is that okay? "
"Why …" Faced with this mysterious girl's extremely strange request, he couldn't adapt to it. The gloomy and scary environment, the sudden appearance of a beautiful girl, and the girl who wanted to follow him for no reason … When all of this was pieced together, it made him feel as if he was in a dream.
"Because … because …" The girl stretched out her tender finger and touched 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 didn't think that he was ugly, but … he shouldn't be so eye-catching that a girl would cry and beg to go with him.
"Then it's decided! Big Brother can't go back on his word! " Without giving Ling Chen a chance to answer, the girl smiled and answered for him, "Then, I'll go bring Phyllostachys Nigra to Big Brother now … Ah?"
Just as the girl was about to run away, she suddenly saw Little Gray at Ling Chen's feet … It was gray here, and Little Gray was so small, so the girl didn't see it just now. She immediately went in front of Little Gray, squatted down, and reached out her tender hands to hold Little Gray's head. She said with love, "Wow! What a cute little dog … Little dog, what's your name? "
"It's called Little Gray." Ling Chen had to answer for Little Gray, who didn't know how to speak, and then he explained, "It's not a dog."
"But it looks like a very cute dog …" The girl smiled slightly, and she patted Little Gray's head. "So your name is Little Gray. Your name is as cute as you. Little Gray, let's play later. I'll help Big Brother get Phyllostachys Nigra first, I'll be back soon."
"Big Brother, you have to keep your word. If I get Phyllostachys Nigra back, you have to promise to let me follow Big Brother. Wherever Big Brother goes, I'll go … Don't go back on your word!"
After saying that, she stood up, lifted the hem of her skirt with both hands, and ran away lightly. After a short while, she was out of Ling Chen's sight, and the sound of her footsteps gradually disappeared.
Ling Chen was completely speechless.
Little Gray, who was touched by the girl, revealed an expression of joy and enjoyment. Ling Chen was very clear about Little Gray's sensitivity to danger. Its reaction to this girl at least proved that the girl really didn't have any bad intentions towards them, and wouldn't bring any danger to them.
The "scary guy" who guarded Lonely Spirit Ridge in the past ten thousand years, had killed countless creatures near Lonely Spirit Ridge. He definitely wasn't a good person. In other words, this girl shouldn't be the "scary guy" that Qian Gungun mentioned. Then again, how could a monster who guarded this place for more than ten thousand years be such a young and cute girl?
But, the appearance of this girl was too unusual. Her series of actions, and the request that she forced him to agree to, was something that he couldn't accept and understand. What was going on with this girl named Xi Ling? And, could she really find Phyllostachys Nigra?
Ling Chen didn't leave, and stayed with Little Gray, waiting for the girl to really bring back Phyllostachys Nigra. He kept thinking about the girl's origin, looking for and guessing all kinds of possibilities.
"Wu … Wu … Wu!!!!"
While thinking, Ling Chen suddenly heard a roaring sound … And this sound, actually came from Little Gray.
"Little Gray?"
"Wu!!!!!"
Little Gray's current state gave Ling Chen a big shock … Its four limbs were tightly on the ground, and its body was stretched into a distorted shape. All the gray hair on its body was standing up, like steel needles. Its mouth was split open, revealing teeth that were fiercely clenched together. Its eyes released a terrible and ominous light, staring at the dark sky.
At the same time, a terrifying aura that made Ling Chen's bones instantly fell from the sky, making him feel like he had fallen into a bottomless abyss. Cold sweat, in just a few seconds, soaked all his clothes …
The sky, slowly darkened, and the cold wind stopped whistling. Everything, fell into a deathly silence that was scarier than hell.
