Reborn Pretty Demon Concubine

Chapter 399 The Scary Forest
Let Xia Jinmo stop, Zhao Li and Liu Yang really stopped trying to persuade Li Qi, and left her to run into the woods.

Li Qi also said a few words in a fit of anger, and chased after them.

"Didn't you not come? Why..." Seeing Li Qi following behind, Zhao Li said something to her angrily, but Xia Jinmo stopped him before he could say the last words.

"Hurry up when you're here, you don't know how far you've gone." Xia Jinmo stopped Zhao Li, gave Li Qi a half-hearted look and said.

"I'm here, I just don't want to give up this opportunity, it doesn't mean..."

Li Qi really wanted to save face for himself, and even deliberately defended himself, but before he could say anything, Xia Jinmo stopped him.

"If you don't want to give up, work hard. Everyone who climbs here wants to stay. If you don't work hard, you will fail. Especially we have become a team. For ourselves and for everyone, we must unite and resist the encounters on the road together. There is no hope of success unless there is any danger.”

Xia Jinmo took a look into the depths of the forest. The trees inside were not the same as when she and Gu Feng came here. Although the trees are still arranged in an orderly manner, it seems that there are many strange scenery. Xia Jinmo was lost.

What made her even more puzzled was that when they reached the woods, they didn't find a single person, as if those disciples had all evaporated, without a sound or any trace.

Although they left a bit late, the road must have been a little bumpy. Could it be that the college was so kind all of a sudden, and put all the things to collect on the road with the most points, without setting any difficulty, so that Did they pick it up all the way to the training building?
"You are the last pair. This is the equipment you need to collect on the road. Many unexpected things will happen on the road. This is a rescue device. If you are in danger, you can press here to call for help."

After Xia Jinmo and the others walked a little further inside, a man dressed in white stood by the roadside, handed him a note, and each of them handed out a globe-like ball.

The ball is only the size of a fist, but there is a handle underneath, which is separated from the left and right, like a fork, holding the ball in the middle.

"Although each of you has one, a group has only one chance to call for help. No matter who presses it first, it means that you have failed this mission. I wish you good results."

After they took the things, the man gave special instructions, and finally blessed them with a smile.

After speaking, it disappeared before their eyes like a phantom.

"Regenerated grass, green vine snake, red tiger core pill, poplar flower, purple black iron."

Xia Jinmo took the note and carefully read the materials on it. The equipment inside was very precious. If it was outside in the mountains and forests, it would be guarded by monsters, but here, it is probably artificially given. They set the danger up.

"Give that to me." Xia Jinmo put the note away, and reached out to ask them for the help ball.

Xia Jinmo feels that one of the four is enough, because she has no intention of letting them go separately, and Li Qi is a timid and willful girl. She is afraid that something will happen to her, so she can't help but press the ball casually. .

Xia Jinmo's decision was that unless she didn't set foot here, she would never back down. As for asking for help, she never thought about it.

"Here, what if we are in danger?" Li Qi immediately yelled when he heard that Xia Jinmo was going to take the distress ball.

"You are in danger, we won't stand by and watch." Xia Jinmo grabbed the rescue ball in her hand and replied calmly.

"You... how could I meet a selfish teammate like you? You only care about success and don't care about the life and death of your teammates..."

After Xia Jinmo snatched the rescue ball, Li Qi began to count her down non-stop, chirping and yelling as she walked.

However, Xia Jinmo acted as if she hadn't heard, and walked in the front first, walking into the depths of the forest.

The forest was still dead silent. When we came here before, there was still the sound of birds singing, but now there is not even a little wind noise. Walking in such a place, it seems that the air around us is frozen, and the surroundings are eerily quiet.

"what……"

Suddenly there was a miserable scream piercing through the forest, and everyone was startled. In this quiet forest, they could clearly hear their heartbeats getting heavier.

"Everyone, be careful." Xia Jinmo told a few people, and then called out the gloves on her hands.

The few people in the back also followed her example, all took out their weapons, and stepped forward cautiously with their whole body on guard.

The front was still dead silent, it seemed that the sound just now came from outside the sky, or it was just an auditory hallucination, because the place where the sound came from in front was very calm, and the ground was also very quiet, with no signs of a fight.

"Did you hear the voice just now?" Li Qi trembled, folded his hands, and asked several people with a mournful face.

"I heard it, maybe they just set it up to scare people. The sound just happened here, but there is nothing here." Zhao Li frowned slightly.

"No, something must have happened here." Xia Jinmo said with certainty.

I ignored their skeptical eyes, and walked around the place, but the ground was normal, as if there was nothing there, but...

Xia Jinmo stained a little liquid with her finger from the ground, it was bright red, and she raised her finger to show them.

"Is this blood?" Zhao Li asked suspiciously, looking at the liquid on her finger.

"Just one drop." Xia Jinmo didn't answer directly, but he confirmed his suspicion.

This is blood. There must have been a fight here just now, and someone was injured, but they don't know the severity of the injury, and they don't know what method they used to clean up the place in the blink of an eye.

"It seems that someone is walking the same road as us, everyone be careful." Xia Jinmo took out a handkerchief, wiped off the blood on her hands, stood up and looked carefully at the tree, and then said to the other people exhorted.

"We still have to make some arrangements, or you go ahead, Li Qi and Liu Yang go in the middle, and I'll be in the back." Zhao Lixiang thought for a while and suggested to Xia Jinmo.

"Okay." Without thinking too much, Xia Jinmo nodded in agreement, because among the four of them, Li Qi and Liu Yang were the weakest.

"What did you say they met?" Li Qi was a little scared, leaned close to Xia Jinmo's side, pulled Xia Jinmo's clothes with both hands, and said with a slightly trembling voice.

"I don't know, it could be a human, it could be a monster, or it could be..." Xia Jinmo really didn't know what it was, so it was a wild guess, but it scared Li Qi so much that he almost cried.

"It could be something else. I heard that monsters are scary and can eat people." Li Qi cried out in a crying voice, and grabbed Xia Jinmo even more tightly with both hands.
