Chapter 54 With You, I'm Not Afraid

In the darkness, Chen Sheng hugged Lu Mier tightly, trying to comfort her shivering body.

In Chen Sheng's impression, Lu Mier was lively, smart, and quite courageous. After entering the dense forest for three days, he never saw Lu Mier touch anything from wild boars to bugs and spiders that girls are generally afraid of. Timid look.

Chen Sheng really couldn't imagine what it was that could scare Lu Mier like this.

While holding Lu Mier tightly, Chen Sheng focused on the movement outside the cave.

At this time, Chen Sheng felt that Lu Mier, who was hugging his waist tightly, tightened her hands suddenly, and the body that had begun to gradually relax began to tremble uncomfortably again.

At the same time, Chen Sheng also noticed that the ground seemed to be slightly undulating, as if there was some unusually large object running heavily towards the cave.

Lu Mier in her arms trembled even more.

Chen Sheng didn't make a sound, put down his left hand holding Lu Mier, gently pulled Lu Mier's cold little hand around his waist, and wrapped his right hand around Lu Mier's shoulder, leading her back into the cave. At the same time, he continued to explore the narrow cave terrain.

Thinking in his mind, if some wild beast really rushed in, what should be done so that Lu Mier would not be harmed.

Suddenly, there was a low whistling sound not far from the dense forest.

"Ow..."

Chen Sheng didn't recognize the sound of any animal. It looked like a tiger and not a tiger, a cow and not a cow, a wolf and not a wolf, a leopard and not a leopard, and a bear and not a bear. Imagine what a beast.

Chen Sheng couldn't help his heart trembling, he raised his head in astonishment and looked out of the cave, but the entrance of the cave was completely blocked by dead branches of trees and vines, and he couldn't see anything.

"Ow..."

There was another sharp roar, this time, the roar seemed to contain a warning.

Then there was no more movement.

After a while, seeing that there was still no movement, Lu Mier raised her head that had been leaning on Chen Sheng's shoulder, and asked timidly, "Did it... go?"

Chen Sheng naturally knew that what Lu Mier was talking about was the beast that had just roared.

"It should be gone." Although there had been no movement for a while, Chen Sheng was not sure if it had really left.

I couldn't tell what kind of beast it was just by its sound, but judging from the movements it made, it shouldn't be small in size.

Since there was no movement, at least it meant that the beast did not approach the cave, so there would be no danger for the time being.

Seeing Lu Mier's timid expression for the first time, and holding Lu Mier's hand, he felt that she still seemed uneasy. Chen Sheng comforted him with distress: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm here, don't be afraid!"

"En!" Lu Mier nodded slightly. Fortunately, it was fortunate that Chen Sheng was there, so that she could rely on herself when she was afraid. Thinking, Lu Mier buried her head in Chen Sheng's chest again. Why, his The strength of his heartbeat can calm the fear in his heart.

Chen Sheng patted Lu Mier's back lightly. In the dark, he really wanted to kiss Lu Mier's forehead.

Thinking about it, Chen Sheng still resisted his impulse.

He freed his hand to take out the fire pocket from his pocket, and under the faint light, he could see Lu Mier's pale face and the undried beads of sweat in the roots of her hair.

Carefully supporting Lu Mier to find a place to sit down, Chen Sheng went to the entrance of the cave to find some dry branches that were not soaked, and prepared to light a fire for Lu Mier to keep warm.

Lu Mier watched Chen Sheng busy all the time, until Chen Sheng struggled to light the fire, and then sat beside her, leaning his head on Chen Sheng's shoulder without hesitation.

"Are you better?" Lu Mi'er just remembered that she went out to find firewood to keep Chen Sheng warm, but after returning, it seemed that Chen Sheng didn't cough anymore.

Chen Sheng put his arms around Lu Mi'er, and said with a slight smile, "It's fine if I force the cold air out of my body with my luck, but you, what happened to you, are so panic-stricken."

"I..." Lu Mier couldn't help but shuddered again when she recalled it. That fear was not caused by seeing some terrible beast, but the oppression of the momentum made Lu Mier shudder.

"Is it the beast that yelled in the distance just now that scares you?" Chen Sheng could clearly feel Lu Mier's fear, and tried to say relaxedly, "Oh... I can't tell what kind of beast he is from its cry." Beast, what a shame!"

"It's just a huge cow!" Lu Mier told Chen Sheng earnestly, after thinking for a while, she said with some doubts: "But, it doesn't seem like a cow either?"

"Why?" Chen Sheng was puzzled.

"Because he only has a soaring horn growing on the top of his head, in the center of his forehead." Lu Mier recalled for a while, and confirmed.

Although I just glanced at it from a distance, I couldn't be wrong, "It looks like a huge blue-black buffalo, but the horns are different from the ones I've seen before." Lu Mier emphasized.

"If it's just like this, how could it scare you!" Chen Sheng pretended to be unintentional and asked, but he kept wondering what kind of animal a cow with only one horn growing on its head was, and there didn't seem to be such an animal in his mind. .

The fire on the woodpile gradually became stronger, and the small and cold cave gradually warmed up. Lu Mier leaned on Chen Sheng's shoulder, and the feeling of panic that made her seem to be disappearing.

Lu Mier took a deep breath and recalled: "After I walked out of the cave, I was going to look around. Apart from looking for some branches that can be used to make fire, I also wanted to see if I could pick some wild fruits for you to eat. , and then...then unknowingly, he walked a little farther."

Speaking of this, Lu Mier was like a child who did something wrong, not only her voice became smaller and smaller, but she also lowered her head shyly.

……

Lu Mier didn't dare to tell the real process, she turned back into a dragonfly elf, and continued to use her spiritual power to explore the surroundings. She really felt that there was a very strange aura in a place. At that time, she was very happy, thinking that she had found it The trace of the seven-leaf phoenix fruit.

So he flew over, and saw a big blue and black buffalo from a distance, and that blue buffalo immediately found Lu Mier, it raised its head and stared at Lu Mier with copper bell-like eyes.

Just at that glance, Lu Mier seemed to be hit in the heart by a "boom!", which made her almost fall to the ground.

The inexplicable and invisible sense of fear made Lu Mier fly out without even thinking about turning around, but the green bull chased after it without hesitation.

And the aura emanating from Qingniu's body was so overwhelming that Lumi'er couldn't breathe, her small body was completely enveloped by the aura emanating from Qingniu, and her wings began to fail.

Seeing that she was about to fall to the ground and be trampled into mud by the green bull, Lu Mier used all her strength to transform back into a human form.

At the moment when Qingniu was stunned by the scene in front of him, Lu Mier stumbled and fled towards the cave, and then heard Qingniu's low growl, as if to say: "Where did you come from, little monster? Stand here."

Then he chased after Lu Mier again, but Qingniu's huge body was not as light as Lu Mier's running in the dense forest, and the distance from nature became farther and farther...

……

Even Chen Sheng felt that Lu Mier shouldn't go away by herself, but seeing her petite and helpless appearance, he couldn't say a word of reproach, so he could only ask softly, "Then you see the girl on the other side?" Is it a strange blue cow?"

"That's right!" Lu Mi'er nodded, and replied seriously: "The place is relatively open, and there is a big pond, which seems to be flowing down continuously to form a wide small waterfall? I didn't see it clearly, but I found that A cow was by the pond and rushed towards me as soon as it saw me."

Lu Mier paused, and then said with lingering fear: "Chen Sheng, do you know? The big green bull rushed towards me when it saw me, as if it wanted to trample me flat. Fortunately, I ran into the dense forest later and it didn't catch up..."

Lu Mier didn't continue talking, Chen Sheng comforted with a light smile: "Fortunately, our Lu Mier is good at qinggong, so that strange cow can't catch up."

"However, don't go far away by yourself in the future. Don't underestimate Fenghuang Ridge. There are all kinds of strange legends here. It is said that there are all kinds of monsters in it." After Chen Sheng finished speaking, he did not forget to remind Lu Mier to let her Don't run around in the future.

Lu Mier pouted her small mouth slightly, and replied honestly: "Understood, I don't dare!" Her tone was extremely aggrieved.

I really didn't dare to look for the seven-leaf phoenix fruit on my own. The big green cow really scared me. Lu Mier was sure that it was not an ordinary cow, not because of its unique horns, but because it The momentum emanating from the whole body completely suppressed himself, like a god.

Chen Sheng smiled with satisfaction: "It's good to know!"

Suddenly thought of something, "Lu Mier, do you still remember how to get to the place where you found that strange cow?" Lu Mier hesitated for a while and replied: "I have a little impression, I should be able to find it..." Then she was shocked. Called: "I don't want to go!"

Chen Sheng explained: "I suddenly remembered a folk saying that there are usually very special guardian beasts guarding extremely rare and precious medicinal materials, and the cow you met is indeed a special dog." Although Chen Sheng I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but its sound is very special.

Lu Mier sat up straight, looked at Chen Sheng, her eyes lit up, she forgot the previous fear, and said excitedly: "Then what you mean...that is to say, that big green bull is the guardian beast of the seven-leaf phoenix fruit."

Chen Sheng couldn't help laughing, and suggested: "Don't get excited, these are all folk sayings, but I don't know how to find the seven-leaf phoenix fruit at present, why don't we go there first at dawn tomorrow."

"Okay! Okay!" Lu Mier agreed, but then hesitated, "But what if the big green bull is there? If it is really a guardian beast, it will definitely not leave there! "

Thinking of Lu Mier's panic, Chen Sheng suggested, "Why don't you tell me the direction, and I'll go find out after dawn, you wait here for me!"

"No! I want to accompany you!" Lu Mier vetoed without hesitation, that was no ordinary big green bull, and Chen Sheng couldn't be allowed to take risks alone.

"Then you're not afraid?" Seeing Lu Mier's serious expression, Chen Sheng couldn't help teasing her.

"I'm afraid, but I still want to follow you!" Lu Mier said firmly.

Chen Sheng suddenly hugged Lu Mier tightly, and whispered softly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

"Um……"

All of Lu Mier's fears were swept away like this...

"With you here, I'm not afraid..."
