Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 487 Human Heart
If the snake hadn't retreated by itself in the end, Gui Chen couldn't even imagine what would happen in the end.

Although he was angry that Ying Baoyue used his arm to block the poisonous snake, but fortunately, he was out of danger in the end.

It's just... What's going on with this near-miss method?

Ying Baoyue looked at the confused young man in front of him, looked at his arm, touched his collarbone and said, "I'm afraid it's because ordinary snakes shouldn't dare to approach me now."

"Don't dare to approach?" Gui Chen opened his eyes wide, and the previous scene appeared in front of his eyes.

The poisonous snake that just hid and attacked him didn't look good, but when Ying Baoyue's arm was in front of him, not only did the snake not bite, but it turned around as if feeling some fear. Just run away.

"What's going on?" Gui Chen looked at Ying Baoyue and asked, "Did you put any snake-repelling herbs on your body?"

This kind of herbal medicine does exist, but it can repel insects, but it is not so easy to repel snakes and attract snakes.

Ying Baoyue looked at her palm. The reason why the snake didn't dare to attack her just now was probably because she had the aura of a stronger snake on her body.

The master of breath is exactly.

Eight Beast Gods, Teng Snake.

"I've been bitten by other snakes before," Ying Baoyue looked at Gui Chen and laughed, "And that snake is much stronger than the one just now, probably because of this other snake it didn't dare to bite me."

"Other...snakes?" Gui Chen was stunned when he heard the words, "Then are you alright?"

"Well," Ying Baoyue touched her collarbone.Gui Chen's gaze was fixed, and he suddenly remembered that he had seen such a scene on the ice of the Lancang Sea before.

Lancang sea.

It was there that Ying Baoyue advanced into the Nine Divine Beasts. He remembered things after her advanced stage clearly, but his memory of things before her advanced stage was blurred for some reason.

And just after Ying Baoyue advanced, Gui Chen remembered in a trance that he found a tiny black pattern appearing on her neck near the collarbone, like a small snake, and also like a tattoo.But the disappearance of that pattern was only fleeting, and he didn't care about it at the time.

Thinking back carefully in the depths of his memory, he seemed to have seen that girl standing alone on the ice, with a huge black shadow entrenched behind her.

But it was all too blurry like a dream, making it hard for him to tell if it was a hallucination or reality.

"Mingyue..." Gui Chen murmured, "What kind of beast did you subdue when you were waiting for rank nine? Could it be..."

Seeing the bewildered expression of the young man in front of him, Ying Baoyue opened his eyes wide in surprise.

Looking at it now, although Guichen did have a little memory of the appearance of the snake in the Lancang Sea because he was too close, most of his memories have disappeared.

That's normal operation.Ying Baoyue said heartily.

But why did Li Ji, who was present at the time, still remember the appearance of the god's real body?Could it be because he is the fourth rank?

It stands to reason that there is no difference between the practitioners below the second rank to the Eight Beast Gods. She thought it was because the Soaring Snake lost its wings and lacked strength, but Gui Chen's appearance at this time overturned this guess.

what is the problem?

"Moon?"

Gui Chen's voice interrupted Ying Baoyue's thoughts, she looked at Gui Chen and smiled, "You guessed it right, the fact that the snake didn't dare to approach has something to do with the divine beast I was convinced when I was waiting for the ninth stage, but the specific reason is not yet clear. Tell you."

"Is that so?" Gui Chen was startled when he heard the words, then nodded, "It's a good thing anyway."

Their former Qin totem was originally the Teng Snake God. Now that the divine beast she admired was a powerful snake, it would not be surprising.

Gui Chen heaved a sigh of relief, but the next moment his heart skipped a beat, he suddenly looked at the big tree covered with poisonous snakes not far away.

"Since no snake will come near you, then this Snake Attracting Incense..."

Gui Chen was speechless.

Since the poisonous snake didn't dare to approach her, Ying Baoyue himself shouldn't need the snake-inducing incense. Could it be that everything just now was...prepared for him?

Looking at his expression, Ying Baoyue knew where Gui Chen was going.

"Not all," she explained with a smile, "I'm not sure whether the poisonous snakes in the forest will really avoid me, and besides, it's more convenient to lure all the snakes away."

That being said, most of the Snake-Inducing Incense was used on him.

Gui Chen's eyes were fixed on the blood beads on the back of Ying Baoyue's hand, and he took a deep breath.

"I'm sorry, I'm your bodyguard, but I've become your burden instead." The young man's voice was calm, but every word seemed to come from a very deep place.

Ying Baoyue was startled when she heard the words, "You..."

"Let me finish," Gui Chen looked at Ying Baoyue, with a bitter smile on his lips, "Actually, I knew it a long time ago, but I just want to hang on."

He has known since she became a practitioner.

He is just an ordinary person, after all, he can't keep up with her pace.But he wanted to make a bet with his short life and do whatever he wanted once, so he chased after him.

Maybe he can help a little on the way, but since coming to Nanchu, he has gradually realized his weakness.

The lowest-level practitioners around her are all at level six, but he is the only one at level nine, who can't do anything at all.

Just like how she subdued Huo Zhan back then, she will definitely meet more powerful practitioners in the future. Strong people flock together, and more powerful practitioners will help her.

Then why did she waste time on such a low-level practitioner like him?
Even if it was a follower guard, she would definitely be able to find stronger ones.

And he didn't know how many years it would take him to become a sixth grader.

"It seems that I really can't help much," Gui Chen looked at Ying Baoyue and said with a wry smile, "It's the same today, but I want you to distract yourself and take care of me."

"I'm really useless as a practitioner now..." It's really useless, Gui Chen thought.

Although he no longer complains about himself and thinks he is worthless.But reality is reality, maybe he will become stronger in the future, but he is indeed weak now.

At this time, Gui Chen understood why so many low-level practitioners flocked to it even though it was rumored that taking Pojing Pill from Beihan Pavilion in the Northern Wei Dynasty was risky and even life-threatening.

As a low-level practitioner, looking at so many practitioners who are stronger than himself around him, this feeling of powerlessness and desire for breakthrough and powerful power.

It can really drive people crazy.

"Personal battle, Mingyue, you should take your own victory as the only goal, and leave me and others alone."

Gui Chen took a deep breath and looked at Ying Baoyue Dao after all, wanting to finish what he had just said, "After all, as a practitioner, I really don't..."

"No……"

Gui Chen didn't expect that he still couldn't finish his sentence.

Just hear a bang.

A fist hit his forehead.

The visitor didn't knock hard, but this unexpected reaction still made him completely dumbfounded.

He stared blankly at the owner of the fist in front of him.

"So that's the case," Ying Baoyue said, "I said why you are so impatient today, it turns out that you fell into this pit."

"Hit?" Gui Chen was taken aback when he heard this.

Only few people know that for low-level practitioners, the most difficult hurdle is not whether they can break through quickly.

Ying Baoyue looked deeply at the unwilling boy in front of him.

The hardest part is actually.

How to overcome your thirst for power.

"You think your rank is too low, so you're useless to others, don't you?" Ying Baoyue looked at Gui Chen and said.

"Isn't it?" Gui Chen gritted his teeth, "Only high-level practitioners can..."

"I was on Mount Li before." But at this moment, a sentence interrupted his voice.

Gui Chen stared blankly at the girl in front of her who suddenly spoke.

"I've always felt that."

"Strength is not the most important thing, how to use these powers is the most important."

Ying Baoyue said softly, "Guichen, I'm afraid you misunderstood something."

Misunderstood what is powerful, and what is spiritual practice.

"Do you remember?" the girl said quietly.

"It was on the former Qin Li Mountain," Ying Baoyue quietly watched Gui Chen and said softly, "The one who carried me back from Li Mountain to the foot of the mountain was not a powerful practitioner, but just a young man who was an ordinary person."

　Just a normal boy
