mountains and rivers dream

Chapter 397 I believe you
But what suddenly broke into her eyes like a gust of bloody cold wind was not a figure, but a dark ball of light.

The ball of light was suspended high on the top of the hill, like a strange black egg half the height of a person. In that black egg, Xiao Yu could definitely sense Lu Yiran's presence.

What made her feel even more suffocated was that the egg was constantly dripping with blood. Every drop of blood that fell was scrambled for by the dark spirits below, as if they were fighting for some life-saving elixir.

The gloomy wind was filled with the roars of dark spirits, and there were even some unclear accusations and whispers, as well as crying and cursing. Countless sounds, like the noisy chirping of insects, made Xiao Yu feel disgusted again and again in her mind, and also caused her legs to ache so much that she finally knelt on the ground and vomited.

She stretched out her hands, looked at the black blood vessels and veins exposed on her two trembling arms, and raised her heavy eyes in despair.

She seemed to be able to hear Zhao Yishen's soft call occasionally. He was shouting, "Fifth brother, don't come to save me... Go away..."

But real sound seemed to never be able to penetrate the transparent bodies of those dark spirits. Like him, he was always trapped in the same place and could only struggle desperately, letting his blood flow away with time, but he could not get rid of even a hair.

"Ranran——!" The fishy and salty taste in Xiao Yu's dry throat was finally broken by the shouting. She used all her strength and shouted towards Heidan on the top of the hill.

And the moment she called out Lu Yiran's name, the person in the black egg seemed to sense her arrival.

The originally pitch-black sphere suddenly lit up with a faint white light at that moment, vaguely outlining the silhouette of a curled-up girl.

The girl's outline was clearly that of Lu Yiran. Her long hair was wrapped around her undressed body, like a quilt, covering her shivering body.

"Ranran, what's wrong with you? Answer me quickly!" Xiao Yu shouted at Lu Yiran again, but no matter how heartbreakingly she screamed, she could only see Lu Yiran moving slightly. He had not completely woken up, and was unable to make any response.

Zhao Yishen, on the contrary, seemed to be trapped just now. Although his eyes had become extremely martial and he was about to become like those dark spirits, his eyes suddenly regained some luster because of Xiao Yu's voice.

There were catkins all over his hair, and Xiao Yu could tell at a glance that it was his magic, Wanxu. If he used Wanxu, Xiao Yu guessed that he had used Wanxu to explore the situation here before being trapped here.

However, the result does not seem optimistic. He must have been involved in some situation, otherwise he would not have ended up in such a miserable state.

"Cousin!"

"Junior brother!"

Yin Rui and Cheng Hao also quickly followed Xiao Yu after he arrived, but after seeing Zhao Yishen's condition, they immediately went up to rescue him.

Yin Rui approached first and used magic to fly to the middle of the mountain. But just as he was about to reach out to pull Zhao Yishen out, the dark spirits nearby seemed to have seen some huge threat and stretched out their claws towards him.

Some even grabbed his arms, hair and clothes, and seemed to want to pull him in as well.

Fortunately, Yin Rui was still alert and was able to escape after losing a strand of hair and some fabric. He also pulled Cheng Haojun, who had just rushed up to help, down with him.

After landing, the two were panting, and seemed to be still frightened. While they were still in shock, Xiao Yu walked slowly and weakly towards the hill.

Her legs were shaking from exhaustion, and she was even gasping for air from the pain, her lips had already begun to turn purple and black. But even so, black spiritual energy continued to flow out from under her skirt, supporting her body, so she looked shaky and about to fall down at any moment.

Yin Rui wanted to go forward to support her, but Xiao Yu dodged him.

Now she didn't want to listen to anyone's advice or dissuasion. The only thing she wanted to do was to go up and bring Lu down.

Yin Rui hurriedly followed him: "Don't go over there, maybe we can discuss a win-win solution, which will not get us involved, but also save the two of them..."

"What solution... Can you come up with one right away..."

Xiao Yu turned around slowly, but did not stop. As she spoke the cold words one by one, Yin Rui's body froze in place.

"I...but I can't watch you put yourself in danger. Maybe you can give me a moment..." Yin Rui felt ashamed, but still reached out his hand. However, he still couldn't touch the corner of Xiao Yu's clothes. It was because her clothes were too torn.

"I believe in you, Dharma Protector Yin. You will be able to come up with a solution in just a moment, even if it's not perfect. But what if my sister can't wait? I'm going up. If you can think of a solution, come and save us. If you can't, you don't have to die for people like us who have nothing to do with it, and you don't have to collect the bodies..."

Xiao Yu's weak voice was clearly right in front of him, but at that moment, when he heard these words, Yin Rui had an illusion that the voice had gone thousands of miles away. Even though it was close enough to be within reach, it was still so far away.

His eyes felt warm.

He has lived for hundreds of years. Not to mention in the Giant Spirit Peak, even among the younger generations of the Silver Snow Peak, the Jade Pearl Peak and the countless families in the Oasis Realm, he is considered a child of destiny. He has always been a superior person and was listed as one of the guardians of the demon clan at a young age.

Although it was ranked last, it was a position that children from other families could not reach.

A person like Yin Rui, even though he is younger in the family and has an older brother, can at least become the second in command of the Yin family in the future.

But even such a person, for some reason, after leaving the territory of the demon clan, stepping out of the endless forest and entering the realm of the dense and strange forest, every scene he faced became extremely awkward.

As soon as he came in, he was trapped in the barrier for who knows how long. As soon as he came out, he had to watch his cousin in the family suffer. Even the woman he loved very much was going to die because of his incompetence.

Thinking of this, the blood color on Yin Rui's face seemed to be drained away in an instant. He stood there, his outstretched arms trembling slightly. He turned a deaf ear to Cheng Haojun's anxious voice, and his head was full of buzzing sounds.

He stood stiffly where he was, watching Xiao Yu climb up the hill, and watching the blood from the dark spirit's scratches flowing down her thighs and cheeks.

His mind quickly flashed through the countless books he had read in the past 350 years about the dense forest and the strange domain. This rapid thinking, coupled with the pressure of seeing Xiao Yu's injuries getting worse, made his forehead covered with cold sweat in the blink of an eye, and his snow-white clothes were soaked with sweat.
