Chapter 18 We Have Disturbed the Monster. Take Care!After walking through a long stretch of yellow sand, they reckoned that the environment would be harsher. However, outside the yellow sand town, the natural scenery here was so beautiful, and it turned out to be a forest.
Moreover, the forest seemed to grow well, unlike the thing that would thrive here. Ronghua glanced at this forest, and she frowned unexpectedly.
She couldn"t see the environment inside the woods. Something was disturbing her inside, but there was no way out from behind, and they could only go on.
“Let"s go. Even if it is dangerous, we must pa.s.s by here!”
Xia Pumo"s lips moved slightly. It seemed that he wanted to say something, but he just nodded, “OK.”
As soon as they stepped into the forest, Ronghua felt chill. The sun was in the sky, but they couldn"t feel the sunshine at all. Perhaps the trees here were too dense, and the sunlight couldn"t shine through them.
On the contrary, after entering this place, Xia Pumo felt pretty comfortable, and the zither was much quieter. Was there really any trace of him here?
In the place where Xia Pumo couldn"t see, Ronghua gently released a force. That force wandered around the forest and found nothing wrong, but Ronghua always felt like they were walking in the wrong direction.
This mysterious territory was fascinating! Although it seemed not dangerous, and it was calm like water, there was always something weird. Who was the owner here?
“Miss!” Xia Pumo suddenly stopped her, and Ronghua turned back.
“What"s wrong?”
There was a hint of worry in Xia Pumo"s eyes, “I"m afraid it"s not safe here.”
Ronghua opened her mouth, “Why do you think so?”
He calmed down and looked down at the zither in his hand. After pondering for a while, he clenched his fist a bit and seemed to make a significant decision. Then, he sighed, “Because, since we entered this forest, he… has been so quiet? ”
Ronghua did not understand what he meant, so she glanced sidelong at him, expressing her confusion.
Xia Pumo took out the zither and stroked it carefully, his eyes becoming soft. “He is often quiet in a place full of demon power. Since we came in, he has never been so quiet until we are here. I think there should be enough demon power here! ”
His indifferent voice echoed in Ronghua"s ears. Ronghua knew that this zither had preserved some special memories for him.
“Miss Ronghua, do you think he likes this place very much?”
When he said that, she saw a rare smile on his face, and she had never seen him smile for so long.
“What the h.e.l.l had he done, making you miss him like this?”
He was suddenly silent, “I… I haven"t had time to tell him about my decision.”
Suddenly he fell into his memory, and Ronghua didn"t see the fleeting expression on his face. But Ronghua liked the look on his face very much while he was lost in thought.
He said, “His favorite thing was drinking. He always had to drink a few jars every day.” However, Xia Pumo couldn"t drink much. As soon as he drank, he immediately fell in a faint. He couldn"t remember anything after drinking.
But he just drank in front of Murong Zhe. As for what he would look like after drinking, he hadn"t thought nor asked about it. After all, who would ask about his drunkenness?
He did not tell anyone and just accompanied Murong Zhe silently to drink. But Murong Zhe took him to the brothels. For him, who had been strictly educated since childhood, it was an immoral event that he couldn"t accept.
At first, in his opinion, Murong Zhe was not so good. After he had experienced many things, he found that he didn"t hate Murong Zhe at all. When Murong Zhe died, he found himself loved Murong Zhe so much. In fact, he didn"t hate him but just thought that their love ran counter to common sense. Two men fell in love with each other, which rarely happened.
Ronghua listened to him in silence. Her eyes seemed to be smiling slightly. But there was a ray of light spreading out from her hand behind her back. She was exploring the forest. She knew that her spiritual power was not as strong as before, so she dared not take him to take risks.
What she could do did not mean he could do. To avoid hurting him and make him follow her with an expectation, she couldn"t give him hope, and then let him down.
Suddenly, Ronghua felt resistance, and the golden light could not move. She tried to increase her power, but it couldn"t break the air of the resistance. Ronghua knew that it was the spell boundary.
It seemed that the real hazard of this forest wouldn"t be known until the spell boundary was broken. Why were there so many spell boundaries?
Breaking the spell boundary should be very dangerous, and may affect Xia Pumo as well. To prevent this from happening, Ronghua decided to take him to leave immediately.
However, when she was about to leave, a chilling voice suddenly appeared in the forest. “Roar— roar—” The sound was similar to the roars of a bull, but it didn"t sound like that after listening carefully.
Ronghua knew that the monster was disturbed here. It must be that when she tried to break the spell boundary, she also disturbed the monster. If they wanted to go out, there would be an inevitable battle.
Xia Pumo turned his head and asked, “What happened? How did we disturb the monster?” Ronghua saw cold sweat on his forehead. He seemed to be shocked by the voice of the monster.
Ronghua certainly wouldn"t tell him it was she that disturbed the monster. Otherwise, he would worry about whether she could defeat this monster and then help him to save that man.
This guy, from the beginning to now, could believe her so quickly, so he must have done some thinking about her. Otherwise, how could he believe her like that? Perhaps, he actually didn"t believe in her. He might still be considering whether he was betting.
Ronghua said, “Maybe when we came in, we touched something, but we didn"t know. Now, I have to fight him. Can you take care of yourself?”
Xia Pumo looked at these surroundings, and there was no other fierce monster. Apart from the one in the forest that made such a roar, there was no big problem.
Xia Pumo nodded his head. Ronghua thought that Xia Pumo had left there for so long that he had made a lot of progress.
Ronghua said to Xia Pumo, “You can also hide for a while, and I"ll first take a look at what the bull roar is.” Ronghua immediately flashed over there, like a beam of light. Before he could see it clearly, she was gone. Xia Pumo watched her go away and reacted after a while. He took out the zither and prepared for the battle. He knew that once Ronghua and the monster fought with each other, she would not be able to take care of him, so he had to rely on himself to protect this zither.
This zither was the last chance for Murong Zhe"s resurgence. He had arrived here. If he failed, his efforts would be wasted, so he must not lose now. He took out the zither, but the zither suddenly became agitated, and it kept shaking in his hands.
Ronghua did not know what had happened here. But she could feel that this forest seemed to be fake. Although the sun was still in the sky, she was sure that she had sensed the thick demon power here.
Looking at the shaking zither, Xia Pumo didn"t know what to do. He could only hold the zither in his arms, stuck it on his body, and took out Murong Zhe"s sword in his right hand. After Murong Zhe died, the sword belonged to him. In fact, it was not merely a sword.
This weapon had variant forms. It was made by a sword-smith who had spent all his life in forging it. It could not only kill people invisibly but also kill them by making them drowned in beautiful dreams.
This was a demon weapon, but he knew Murong Zhe was a demon originally. Now, in this mysterious territory, since there was an opportunity to regenerate Murong Zhe, he would not give it up. He would follow Ronghua and found the main palace. People in the main palace must have ways to regenerate Murong Zhe.
He touched the zither and calmed it down, murmuring, “Zhe, if you can wake up this time, I will seclude with you and never break my promise. I swear here.” Perhaps it understood what he said, so it calmed down, no longer shaking.
