She thought of the scene before she fainted, as well as the unforgettable smell. Countless guesses appeared in her mind, and she was shocked speechless.
… His blood was very pure, so it could be compatible with her body? However, the blood flowing through her body carried a clear soul imprint. It was clearly her blood, so how did his blood become her true blood of the Heavenly Phoenix?
She stared at Chen Changsheng with wide eyes. She was at a loss, somewhat helpless, and thus innocent.
This was the first time in her fifteen years of life that she had been so ignorant and cute.
Chen Changsheng did not know how to explain it to her, nor did he intend to explain it to her. However, he was worried that she, who had just escaped the edge of death, was still extremely weak, and needed to rest, would have some new problems due to the severe mental shock. As a result, he decided to make up some excuses. However, just as he spoke, his words were drowned out by a clap of thunder.
Rumble!
The deep and resounding thunder came from afar, directly passing through the mausoleum's gate and entering their ears.
Chen Changsheng was somewhat confused. He thought to himself, the rain had just stopped in the morning, so why was there thunder? He supported her to sit against the stone pillar, and brought the prepared water and food to her side. After saying a few words, he ran out of the mausoleum.
Passing through the long passageway, he arrived outside the mausoleum. Looking towards the source of the thunder, his face instantly became even paler.
There was no rain where the thunder came from, not even a cloud. However, he could not see the azure sky either, because the distant sky was occupied by a huge shadow.
Below that shadow was a black line that looked like the tide.
Although he could not see it clearly, his spiritual sense mercilessly and coldly told him the truth. The black line was a monster tide formed by countless monsters. It was two hundred li away, and if they maintained their current speed, they would need about a day to arrive in front of the mausoleum.
He did not have the time to ponder why the monsters in the plains would suddenly attack, and why they had become like an army, or if there was someone commanding them. He turned around and walked back into the mausoleum. He ran back to Xu Yourong's side, picked her up, and said, "We must leave."
Along the way, the two of them had already touched each other many times, but the way they carried each other was naturally different. Before Xu Yourong had awoken from her daze, she began to feel slightly embarrassed. However, before her embarrassment could turn into anger, she was shocked by his words.
"What's wrong?"
"There's a monster tide, and it should be heading towards the mausoleum. It's probably the demons."
"It should be the Soul Wood."
In just a few sentences, the two of them had exchanged enough information and made their own judgments.
Chen Changsheng carried her and ran out of the mausoleum. At this moment, the black line formed by the monster tide still seemed to be far away on the horizon. It had not moved at all, but he knew that those terrifying monsters had gotten a little closer. Xu Yourong finally saw this spectacular scene. She did not panic and directly asked the most important question, "Where are we going?"
The onslaught of such a terrifying beast tide, not to mention their current injuries and exhaustion, even if they were at their peak and had their tools by their side, they still wouldn't be able to deal with such a situation. Just as Chen Chang Sheng had said, leaving was a must.
But where could he go? This plain was mysterious and dangerous. If it were not for the guidance of the Yellow Paper Umbrella, it would have been impossible for them to reach this mausoleum, and the direction of the Yellow Paper Umbrella came from the sword intent.
Although Xu Yourong did not know the inside story, she had already deduced that the umbrella would only point in the direction of the mausoleum.
If they left the mausoleum and walked into the plain, the Yellow Paper Umbrella definitely would not be able to point them to a second destination. They would definitely get lost in the plain and die like those senior experts.
Fortunately, the following scene saved them from this problem. Of course, using the word "good" here was not very appropriate — in the plains around the mausoleum, they all saw the black line of the monster tide. All the directions to leave had already been cut off.
Chen Changsheng did not say anything for a long time. Originally, he still had many questions. How did the monster tide form? Did they enter Zhou Dufu's mausoleum and set off some sort of restriction? Along the way, why did no monsters attack them? Why did these monsters seem to be under someone's command? However, Xu Yourong had already given the answers to these questions.
"Nanke forbade those monsters from attacking us because she wanted to find Zhou Dufu's mausoleum by following us."
The Soul Pivot in the mausoleum came from White Emperor City. It could command and control monsters, but the crucial Soul Wood was not in the stone room. Now that they thought about it, the Soul Wood should be in Nanke's hands. As for why it was like this, it was something they did not need to worry about right now.
There were countless monsters in the black line, and many of them were unimaginably strong. Even from a distance of two hundred li, even he could sense that the Qi emitted by some of the monsters was actually on par with human Star Condensation experts.
Not to mention the terrifying true body of the shadow in the sky.
He asked, "Since she can control monsters, then she can completely let the monsters lead the way. Why is there a need to follow us?"
Xu Yourong said, "The Soul Wood might need to be together with the Soul Pivot in order to display its full effect, or for some reason, she is unable to communicate with those monsters. Those monsters will only fight with her, but they will not do anything else."
After saying that, the two of them fell silent again.
The black line formed by the monster tide surrounded the mausoleum. Even if they were experts at the peak of Star Condensation, it would be very difficult for them to break through. At this time, there was really no meaning in carrying out this analysis.
The grassland after the rain was slightly cold. The green trees that grew out of the cracks in the mausoleum were very short and could not block the wind. When they brushed against their faces, it was slightly cold. Chen Changsheng looked at her and said, "Let's go back."
Since they could not leave, guarding the mausoleum became the best and only choice.
Xu Yourong said, "I don't want to die in someone else's grave."
Chen Changsheng considered the problem in a much more worldly manner. He said, "But it's a little cold outside."
Xu Yourong took out the Tong Bow from somewhere and stuck it into the cracks in the rocks. With a rustling sound, countless green leaves grew out of the longbow. They fluttered in the wind, but they completely blocked the cold wind outside.
When Chen Changsheng woke up in the cave, he did not see the Tong Bow turn into a green tree. This was the first time he had seen it. Feeling the powerful defensive Qi, he said in shock, "It's actually the Tong Palace?"
Xu Yourong was slightly moved. She thought, are you really a secret sect disciple of the Snow Mountain Sect? How do you have so many secrets on your body? You can actually see that this is the Tong Palace with a single glance?
When Chen Changsheng carried her out, he did not forget to wrap the sackcloth around her body. At this moment, he spread the sackcloth on the ground and helped her sit down. He said, "Since you don't want to go in, it's fine to look around here."
It would be difficult to escape with one's life. It would still be a road to death. Xu Yourong, who had just walked past the edge of death, saw her true nature. Her state of mind was unprecedentedly clear. She did not think about the secrets Chen Changsheng was hiding. She was calm and indifferent.
"If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn't have done those things before. It's such a waste."
Chen Changsheng did not agree with her view. He said, "Being able to live even a moment longer is good. Let alone a day, even if it's an hour, a breath, or even a moment, it's all good."
Xu Yourong felt his sincerity. She thought to herself, this was a person who loved and cherished life. Only this kind of person would be so kind, right? He really was a good person.
"Thank you for your blood."
Thinking about the scene she had seen and the smell she had smelled, even though she was in a tranquil state of mind where she had just seen her true nature for the first time, her expression still changed subtly. She looked at him with a somewhat complicated gaze.
"I know what you're thinking."
Chen Changsheng was silent for a while and said, "There's a problem with my blood. I don't know what the problem is, but anyone who smelled my blood, or any other life, wants to eat me. No one can resist this temptation."
Besides the fact that his meridians were broken and his life was dim, he would die at the age of twenty. This was his biggest secret. He never said it to Luo Luo or Tang Thirty Six, but at this moment, he said it calmly in front of Xu Yourong. This did not mean that his trust in this girl had surpassed Luo Luo and Tang Thirty Six. It was because the current environment was special and the situation was special. It was just like when he first saw the Black Dragon in the underground. Under the pressure of death, people were always willing to say something.
Hearing his words, Xu Yourong said, "I don't have that kind of thought."
Chen Changsheng laughed and said, "What a competitive girl. You don't want to drink my blood and eat my flesh. It's not something to be proud of. Also, don't forget that I knocked you out."
Xu Yourong didn't get angry at his words. She smiled and said, "Then why do you want me to believe your words?"
"You should have felt it just now." Chen Changsheng thought about how he almost lost his mind and drank all his blood. He thought to himself, "I also felt it." Then he said seriously, "Also, this is what my senior said. I believe him."
Xu Yourong was a little surprised, "You have a senior?"
Chen Changsheng was helpless and said, "I still have a master."
Xu Yourong didn't like the way he spoke. She said with slight annoyance, "Smooth talker."
Chen Changsheng had to admit, "I was influenced by a friend."
"You, such a boring person, also have friends?" Xu Yourong joked.
Chen Changsheng said, "If a cold and proud girl like you can have friends, why can't I?"
"When did I tell you that I have friends?"
When she said this, her delicate eyebrows seemed to fly up. She seemed very proud. This was anger, or childishness, or anger. In any case, Chen Changsheng didn't understand that there was nothing to be proud of when you don't have friends. Once again, he felt that this genius girl of the elf race was a little lonely and pitiful. He smiled and asked, "… … Then do I count?"
Xu Yourong didn't expect to hear this. She looked at him and smiled, "Yes."
… …
… …
