Lord, please be gentle

Chapter 21

After spending the night cursing a certain beast, Tang Xiaoxun sat under a big tree and watched the rising sun, and watched the sun gradually approaching one by one.

"Brother Jun, you fell into the water last night..." Tang Xiaoxun sighed helplessly as he looked helplessly at someone who often disappeared from the game.

"..." Yu Junhan froze for a moment, and then his eyes became a little softer. "He" finally spoke to him.

"Let's go, through the desolate valley, we can reach the first palace in the world." Yu Junhan said lightly, his tone seemed flat, but if you distinguish carefully, you can feel a little flying.

"Desolate valley??" Tang Xiaoxun climbed on the horse obediently, repeating unfamiliar words.

"The shortcut to the first palace in the world." Yu Junhan whispered.

"What kind of place?" Tang Xiaoxun's sixth sense told her that this shortcut is not a lucky place.

"When you arrive, you will know." Yu Junhan didn't answer, but there was a trace of seriousness in his expression.

But soon, Tang Xiaoxun knew where the so-called bad sixth sense came from.

Looking up at the dead valley in front of him, the blue-gray soil exudes an uncomfortable atmosphere, and gusts of dark wind blow from the valley, Tang Xiaoxun subconsciously associates this valley with death.

It is desolate enough, not even a blade of grass grows.

"Xiao Xun wait a moment, no matter what happens, don't leave my side." Yu Junhan's voice couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"Uh... what will happen?" She blinked her big eyes curiously. She felt that the valley in front of her was not as simple as its name. At least, she didn't know that there was a valley that was just a The name is enough to make a master so nervous.

"The desolate valley is located at the back of the first palace in the world, and it is also one of the defense lines of the first palace in the world. I don't know what strange things are in the valley. In short, according to the rumors, people who pass through the desolate valley rarely get out alive. .”

"Ah?!" Tang Xiaoxun couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard it. Did Brother Jun bring her here to seek death or to send her to die?Even if you are in a hurry, you won't jump into the fire pit with your eyes open.

"Brother Jun has no other way to go?"

Unfortunately, Yu Junhan shook his head at her.

Resigned to fate, Tang Xiaoxun clasped Yu Junhan's waist, and leaned against him obediently.

Die, die.

"..." The arms around his waist were tightened, which made Yu Junhan smile wryly.

The horse moved forward cautiously. Yu Junhan held the rein with one hand and stroked the long sword at his waist with the other, watching every move around him vigilantly.

Tang Xiaoxun opened her big eyes and looked at the lifeless surroundings, blue-gray soil, blue-gray stones, scorched black skeletons... scorched black... skeletons? !
"Brother Jun, look at those skeletons..." Tang Xiaoxun poked Yu Junhan's back, making him look at a pair of scorched bones.

Yu Junhan looked at the scorched bones, as if they had been burned by a fire.

"What's going on here? There are no plants or animals. It's like a burnt cemetery." Tang Xiaoxun couldn't help frowning. She has never had a good impression of places full of death, which always reminds her Certain bad memories.

"No matter what, let's leave as soon as possible." Yu Junhan told the horse to speed up.

However, the gust of wind that swept past her ears made Tang Xiaoxun feel a chill, and the whine-like sound of the wind, like a mournful howl, entered her ears with the breath of death.

Yu Junhan felt the arms around his waist tightened a little more, and couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"What is that!" Suddenly, a baby's cry resounded through the valley, and Tang Xiaoxun shivered.

"Why is there a baby here..." Yu Junhan frowned.

"Wow... wow..."

The crying became louder and louder, so much so that both Tang Xiaoxun and Yu Junhan had to believe that there was a baby.

"Brother Jun, I... have a bad premonition, let's go..." Tang Xiaoxun suddenly felt that the baby's crying was getting more and more frightening. something is going to happen.

"Wow... wow..."

"The cry is approaching..." Yu Junhan's voice couldn't help being a little nervous.

"Go!" Tang Xiaoxun's reaction was almost instantaneous. She raised her hand and slapped the horse's buttocks, and the horse immediately ran away.

"What's wrong with Xiao Xun?" Yu Junhan looked at "his" excited behavior and asked.

"Brother Jun, if we don't want to become those bones, we'd better get farther and farther away from that voice." Even the voice was panting, it was the first time Tang Xiaoxun's voice was so serious.

"Wow...Wow..." However, instead of pulling away, the voice became shorter and shorter. She could almost feel that baby-like crying came from behind them, and they couldn't run away. opponent's speed.

"I'm catching up." Tang Xiaoxun put one arm around Yu Junhan's waist, turned around and looked back, but this one glance made her stunned for a long time.

what is that?
A huge red flame was like a wall, overwhelming the entire desolate valley, and the baby-like cry came from behind the flame, which was less than a hundred meters away from them.

Gritting her teeth secretly, Tang Xiaoxun's arms holding him became tighter and tighter.

Yu Junhan's eyes couldn't help squinting, the horse's speed had reached the limit, and as the flame wall gradually approached, both of them felt the scorching heat, getting higher and higher...

Just when the flame wall reached behind them, the first cluster of flames burned the ponytail in front of Tang Xiaoxun's eyes.

However, suddenly a cry came from Tang Xiaoxun's body, like an invisible sound wave, which shocked the flame, and then, a strange scene was staged in front of her eyes. Miraculously stopped moving, the horse galloped violently due to pain, and quickly opened up the distance.

Tang Xiaoxun watched those crimson flames, and her voice changed to golden red in an instant. She even thought that she was hallucinating, but she actually felt... felt that the wall of flames not only eliminated the killing intent, but also raised a wave of joy. Affection.

What the hell is this?

"What's wrong?" Yu Junhan also gradually felt the drop in temperature, he turned his head to look at the wall of flames that had stopped advancing, and there was a hint of joy when he heard the sound like a baby crying.

"I don't know..." His hand subconsciously touched the thing that was tweeting.

The fiery red scimitar was a gift from someone on her sixth birthday...

What exactly happened, I'm afraid she herself can't understand, that weird wall of flames, that weird crying sound, why her scimitar screams... More and more questions linger in her mind.

Tang Xiaoxun breathed a sigh of relief only after crossing the desolate valley and stepping onto a safe zone. A majestic palace was faintly visible not far away. She understood that there should be the so-called No. [-] palace in the world.
