Just this once

This is actually alive!!! This thing is not dead!!!

Jiang Jingyuan's pupils shrank as she saw the pair of snake-like fangs flashing with cold light approaching her. She gritted her teeth and suppressed her subconscious urge to dodge or counterattack.

She stared at the bloody mouth that was getting closer and closer, her heartbeat almost stopping with nervousness. She raised her right hand that was holding the plum blossom sleeve arrow.

I don't know if this creature with a human body and a snake tail is naturally occurring or a man-made monster, but to be safe, we have to treat it as man-made. Since it is man-made, it is most likely similar to the human-faced strange bird we saw before, and it was modified using Xu Qinglin's method of making winged people...

In this case, if she dodged now or used ordinary attack methods, she would not be able to really hurt it, and it would be a waste of time to spend a long time looking for its flaws.

It would be better if...

Just kill it this time!

“Swish, swish, swish—”

In almost just a moment, arrows like those made of ice emitted a tremendous chill, making a sound of breaking through the air, and shot towards the bloody mouth with exposed fangs!

Jiang Jingyuan didn't dare to relax at all. He picked up a handful of blood-red pills and stuffed them into the bloody mouth, then used his backhand to close its round and small jaw upwards.

Another punch hit its chin, smashing its head into the ground. Jiang Jingyuan's whole body flashed, and in an instant she moved away with the help of the clouds and smoke that quietly swirled around her.

"boom!!!"

A huge explosion sounded in the forest, and the rising white smoke spread outward in a large amount of terrifying airflow.

It was not until this moment that a powerful pressure finally erupted with raging anger, fiercely crushing the beautiful goose yellow figure.

Jiang Jingyuan was also prepared to jump off the cliff behind him.

"Hmph... You didn't arrive as early as last time. What's the matter? Are the creatures with human bodies and snake tails here no match for those strange birds with human faces?"

A foul-smelling gust of wind blew from the bottom of the cliff, hitting Jiang Jingyuan's back. She stared at the sky, while the clouds and smoke behind her went to the bottom of the cliff first. Whenever the terrifying pressure was about to catch up with her, her figure flashed and she appeared deeper in the cliff in an instant.

Amidst the howling gale, the breath became even more furious, and it crushed down at an even faster speed, as if it was determined to crush the goose-yellow figure into mud today!

Jiang Jingyuan's face was cold as she continued to teleport with the help of the smoke from the silver sachet. Her dark eyes flashed with cold excitement.

She looked up, the corners of her mouth curled up.

"boom!!!"

A huge explosion occurred in the deep forest above the cliff, and the sky, earth, mountains and forests trembled suddenly!

The terrifying pressure was all because of this!

When the powerful pressure rushed to the depths of the cliff again to chase the girl, the girl in the goose yellow dress had already disappeared in the gray and white clouds.

Beneath the cliff, gray clouds flow quietly...

"boom--"

The powerful pressure suddenly raged into the sky and slammed heavily on the clouds at the bottom of the cliff that had re-condensed. The rocks collapsed and the lush tall trees collapsed.

…………

"thump!"

A goose yellow figure fell from the sky, breaking through the layers of gray and white clouds, and slammed heavily into the sea of ​​blood. Thousands of dark red waves suddenly rose in the calm blood-colored lake.

The waves surged, ripples appeared, and the smell of blood and decay spread rapidly.

The dress, layered in goose yellow and layered in white, bloomed like flowers on a sea of ​​blood. The tender green hairband floated quietly on the blood, and the girl's loose black hair made her face look even paler.

The girl closed her eyes slightly, frowned, and seemed to be in unbearable torment.

With his mouth slightly open, he took a breath and then stopped breathing instantly. Jiang Jingyuan opened his eyes, and the expression on his face was hard to describe.

What the hell place has she been to again...

Jiang Jingyuan subconsciously placed her hands on the ground on either side, trying to prop herself up, but suddenly felt a sticky chill on her hands. Before she could even settle, she paused, her expression frozen in an instant, and she turned her head extremely slowly to look at the scenery around her.

A gray mist floated in the sky. Jiang Jingyuan looked over and saw an endless sea of ​​corpses and blood.

Jiang Jingyuan stood up stiffly from the countless floating corpses. In the vast sea of ​​blood, she was the only one with half of her body covered in goose yellow and the other half in blood.

A breeze carrying a fishy smell blew, and the sticky and cold dress stuck tightly to her back, as if a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue was wrapped around it.

Jiang Jingyuan......

For the first time, Jiang Jingyuan felt a strong sense of collapse in his heart.

She looked at her bloody hands, then at the large dark red stains on her dress, and wished she could close her eyes and faint.

She was about to take a deep breath, but immediately stopped breathing as if she remembered something. Jiang Jingyuan hesitated for a moment, but still did not choose to take out the Turtle Breathing Talisman.

Her defensive magic tools were mostly damaged, and the few low-level ones she had left were useless. Furthermore, the silver jade bracelet now required her to activate the barrier herself. If she blocked out the outside world's aura and couldn't react quickly, she would be vulnerable to ambush and ambush.

Thinking of this, Jiang Jingyuan's face instantly became tired. She pulled her feet out of the wreckage, and step by step, dragging her dark red clothes, she slowly walked in one direction.

“Cough cough! Cough…”

“Cough cough cough…!”

A sudden and earth-shattering cough sounded in the distance.

Jiang Jingyuan paused, and the fatigue on her face disappeared instantly. She looked around vigilantly, then quickly went around and hid behind a pile of corpses.

Jiang Jingyuan held his breath and looked carefully in the direction where the cough came from.

"Ahem...Pah!"

The gray-white mist like gauze gently drifted away, and several blood-red figures stood up one after another in the slightly undulating sea of ​​blood in the distance.

One of the bloody men raised his hand and swiped his face fiercely. It didn't completely wipe away the dirt, but it did reveal patches of his original skin color. He let out a disgusted "Pah," shook his hands, lifted his robe, and then put it down again. He cursed, "What a crap place!"

Another person hurried forward and whispered soothingly, "Your Highness, Your Highness, be careful, something might be attracted here!"

"I haven't punished you yet, and you still dare to point fingers at me?!" The man called "Your Highness" was instantly furious and kicked him hard, kicking him directly into a sea of ​​blood. "How the hell did you find the way?! There are all these things here, and you are leading the way this way?!!"

The man struggled to get up from the sea of ​​blood. He didn't argue, but just kept saying, "Your Highness, calm down..."

"Where are your rules?!" The man called "Your Highness" kicked him again in disgust.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, please calm down... Your Highness, please calm down first..." The others hurriedly gathered together and hurriedly tried to appease him, "Your Highness, we need to leave here quickly!"

The prince snorted coldly and didn't stay any longer. He was reluctantly escorted away by the crowd. As he walked, he said impatiently, "I don't know what Master's Wife and the others are thinking. They believe everything anyone says. They even brought out the Red Fox..."

The people around him simply responded, "Yes, yes, yes, it's really hard for our prince to come here and suffer in vain..."

A group of people covered in blood walked farther and farther away, and the lingering mist obscured their figures.

Jiang Jingyuan, hiding behind the corpse, looked at the direction they were heading, wondering, "His Highness...? Whose Highness is this?"

He doesn't look too old, probably under 20 years old, so we can look for one among the princes of various countries.

First, let's rule out Yuan Kingdom and Chen Kingdom. Don't consider whether there is a dark horse among the royal heirs of Yuan Kingdom. Even if there is, it is impossible for him to leave the palace openly now. Chen Kingdom has only one crown prince who has arrived in Diqu City of Yuan Kingdom.

Lin Kingdom... Jiang Jingyuan remembered that Rong Yejin once said that several of Lin Jun's sons who were granted the title of king were over thirty years old, and the only remaining child did not match the age.

Jiang Jingyuan thought about Yu Kingdom. It was said that two royal heirs of Yu Kingdom were missing a few years ago. Could it be... No, no, no, that's not right. Those people just now directly called that person "Your Highness", which means he has really gone through a clear path and is not some lost bloodline.

"That is..." Jiang Jingyuan suddenly had an idea and thought of someone, "Isn't Yuguo's Crown Prince Le Wuque about the same age?"

Jiang Jingyuan did not consider the dark horses that emerged from other small countries. After all, even if they were from those places, Jiang Jingyuan would not recognize them.

Jiang Jingyuan pondered, nodded secretly, and silently withdrew her gaze, wanting to get up and leave. Her eyes turned casually and suddenly met a pair of yellow eyes.

A figure covered in blood and pus squatted quietly beside her, staring at her for an unknown amount of time.

“?!!”

When did it appear? ! !

Jiang Jingyuan's pupils shrank, and his right hand suddenly clenched the plum blossom sleeve arrow that seemed to be made of ice. Just as he was about to raise his hand, he saw the bloody man in front of him seemed to have sensed something. He panicked and wiped his face with one hand, while raising the other hand and shaking it wildly, as if he was surrendering to Jiang Jingyuan.

“……?”

"Is this a living person...?" Thoughts flashed through her mind quickly. Jiang Jingyuan paused her attack, but she did not let go of the plum blossom sleeve arrow. She kept looking at the person in front of her vigilantly, stood up and retreated quickly, and was ready to counterattack at any time.

Jiang Jingyuan stepped back step by step, but seeing that the person in front of her did not make any other moves, she decisively walked around the pile of corpses that had formed a small mountain and walked away through the blood.

“Patta, patta, patta…”

Jiang Jingyuan had deliberately lightened her footsteps, but she couldn't fly over eaves and walls or walk across water without leaving any traces without using her spiritual power. With a "pat, pat" sound, her difficult steps created a large and small blood-red splash of water.

"Plop... plop..." The blood was surging.

Suddenly, Jiang Jingyuan felt as if something tripped her feet, and she fell forward unexpectedly.

Looking at the dark red pool of blood that was getting closer and closer, Jiang Jingyuan's expression couldn't help but twist.

With a "pop", Jiang Jingyuan's heart died.

She supported herself on the bloody corpse with one hand, struggling to keep her balance.

Jiang Jingyuan felt the sticky coolness in the palm of his hand, closed his eyes, withdrew his hand and stood up.

"It's okay... It's really okay..." Jiang Jingyuan subconsciously took a deep breath, and her face turned pale in an instant, and she almost vomited.

What a disgusting place...

etc!

Jiang Jingyuan suddenly remembered something she had previously overlooked: "Did His Highness mention the red fox?"

She recalled the news she had heard at the night market in Yuguo.

Jiang Jingyuan's face was solemn, and he thought to himself, "Could this be the place they were talking about? Did the red fox appear in the Grandma Forest? And the person who has been called "Bai Zhuan Qian Hui" has also come here? Then, could that prince be the person who has been called "Bai Zhuan Qian Hui"?

This school of thought is not very famous among the people, but is very popular among dignitaries.

Her thoughts barely suppressed the nausea lingering in her heart, but after Jiang Jingyuan finished analyzing everything, she raised her head again with a tired look on her face.

But when she looked forward, Jiang Jingyuan was stunned.
