Tonight, no news came back from the sea, because more than 20 warships were destroyed and the people on board died in the sea, becoming a meal for a leatherback turtle.

Ju Mang hovered in the sky, looking at the waves on the eastern sea. Although there was no ripple in his heart, he vaguely felt a hint of danger through the spiritual contract, as if Xia Xiao was facing some unspeakable pain and his life was threatened.

Ju Mang waited for Xia Xiao to wake up, which would be a long process, at least he couldn't wake up tonight. Therefore, he was very patient and played with the lightning and water droplets in the dark clouds, hoping to find some fun in it and kill the time.

In the seventh room on the second floor, Ah Zhu breathed a sigh of relief. She had been worried that the guy would knock on the door. She was not good at lying, so she would be nervous to the point of stuttering when facing such a mysterious person. But she didn't expect that he would skip this room directly. This was the first time Ah Zhu felt admiration for her own ability, thinking that she was also useful, not a burden!

Without anything to worry about, Ah Zhu could finally sleep peacefully. On the way back, she was extremely sleepy. As soon as she closed her eyes, her consciousness suddenly disappeared, and her previous happiness was gone. Ah Zhu fell into the abyss of dreams and fell into the cold pool. Her whole body was cold, as if she was buried deep in the ice field. The cold air kept penetrating, as if it wanted to freeze her into an ice cube and stay there forever, becoming a part of it.

The heavy rain outside the window was blowing with the wind. Even though the window was tightly closed, a few drops of rain still seeped out. The raindrops fell on Xia Xiao's face and on Azhu's face. They were wrapped tightly in the quilt, with only their faces exposed, but they were still very cold.

Ah Zhu went to Xia Xiao's arms. He was the warmest thing around her. She subconsciously hugged Xia Xiao tightly. Xia Xiao also felt cold and hugged the man in front of him tightly.

There seemed to be the ethereal sound of the deep sea in his ears. Xia Xiao felt that extremely deep call again and again, as if it was pulling him back, but he stood on the sea and would not let the sea water wet his body again. In the blue sea, the deep blue ** was so thick that it didn't seem like water. It turned into a big hand, coming from nowhere, and was about to grab Xia Xiao.

With wings on his back, Xia Xiao looked calm, pointed his head and flew high. The higher he flew, the closer he was to the sun. The light that appeared in his eyes became more and more dazzling. Xia Xiao saw the dawn in front of him, and his body was no longer so cold, because green light and mist emanated from his body.

In the dark room, green light emerged from Xia Xiao's body. He hadn't been so tired for a long time, and hadn't been injured so badly. So the green light that had been accumulated in his body for a long time rushed out to recover from his injuries. Ah Zhu also enjoyed the blessing and was no longer so cold. But no matter what they did, a serious illness would come.

There is no virus in the Dragon Palace, but there is in the Demonic Path. The place where the pearl is located has accumulated filth for thousands of years. All those who go to the Dragon Palace, all those who ignore the side roads and follow the main road to seek the most precious treasure, will be infected with an incurable disease. And the so-called spiritual tools and treasures are not hidden there!

Poison is a kind of wood element. The green energy gradually absorbs it, but the side effects are also deposited in the body and gradually become obvious. The curtains beside the bed changed colors many times during the day and night. Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang missed a lot, and the whole city was in chaos several times. But when he woke up, his body was heavy, his fingers were heavy and difficult to lift, and opening his eyes was the limit.

In the dim light, Xia Xiao could see Ah Zhu huddled in his arms, lowering her head slightly, revealing her extremely pale face. Her breathing was weak, as if she was on the verge of death, and her extremely bright chestnut hair had become dry and colorless. Was Ah Zhu also affected? Although he had been sleeping before, Xia Xiao could feel that he was sick. Although he was much better now, Ah Zhu might need a long time to recuperate.

The body was difficult to move, but if Xia Xiao wanted to move, he would definitely be able to get out of bed. When the rays of morning light became dazzling, Xia Xiao sat up with his heavy body. Ah Zhu hugged too tightly, and her arms were almost stiff. If she left it alone, something bad might happen.

After wrapping Ah Zhu in the quilt, Xia Xiao sat down on the ground with a stiff movement. He seemed to be half paralyzed, and it took him a lot of effort to pull the backpack over. He took out the scroll from it, opened it, and injected the restored vitality.

"senior."

In order to say these two words, Xia Xiao tried many times. He hadn't spoken for a long time, so he was so unfamiliar with it, as if he was starting from scratch, like a babbling child.

"Why are you contacting me now?"

Hu Bugui's voice was filled with anxiety. It had been half a month since the last contact. Xia Xiao didn't know yet. She just felt that a long time had passed, but she didn't know the exact time.

"Azhu and I found the Dragon Palace and went inside."

"What's the situation? Your voice is not right, are you injured?"

"That woman is not here, but there is some kind of poison inside. Ah Zhu and I were injured and have been unconscious until now."

"Heal your wounds first, and prioritize safety."

"Senior, there is one more thing, it is very important."

Although Xia Xiao had not woken up before, he had talked a lot with Ju Mang in the contract space. He was able to seal in his sleep with Ju Mang's call, and the latter was able to return to the contract space. Now, Xia Xiao told the senior everything Ju Mang told him, and the latter was secretly glad after listening. If Ah Zhu was not there, Xia Xiao would have died in the city south of the South Country. But he was also afraid that the pearl might not be a good thing.

"What did you do with that pearl?"

"Xiaoyu likes it very much, but I have locked her in the volcano. With the violent fire energy suppressing her, she can't play any role."

"Okay! Remember to be careful. Now go get some medicine and take good care of Ah Zhu. If she becomes seriously ill, come back first."

Xia Xiao said yes, but his feet were still hard to move. It was difficult to go out to get medicine now, so he supported himself with his arms and opened the curtains to let the sun shine on Ah Zhu. After sleeping for so long, it's time to get some sun!

Looking at Ah Zhu with chapped lips, Xia Xiao fed her some water. She only drank a little and her condition did not improve at all. I didn't expect this burden to work so hard this time. Not only did he carry me back from the beach, but he also avoided the drunkard and entered the room before the mysterious man arrived. None of these three things was easy, especially the first one!

From the beach to here, you have to walk almost half of the city. This distance is really hard for Ah Zhu. Xia Xiao looked at the latter, thinking about his usual impatience with her, and felt a little embarrassed. It seems that next time I can't just reward her with barbecue, I have to add something else.

"Get well soon, I'll take you to eat whatever you want."

If Ah Zhu was conscious, she would definitely jump to the sky. To her, this was the most exciting thing to say, but she lay in bed without saying a word.

After his legs and feet were out of control for a long time, Xia Xiao formed a hand seal and used his vitality to circulate throughout his body. During this process, Xia Xiao, who did not want to waste any time, entered the contract space and came to the volcano. In this world, his body was still heavy, but his legs and feet could walk, but the poison in the dangerous Dragon Palace had a deep impact.

"Is there anything unusual about that pearl?"

Huodou was extremely lazy, lying on the altar. Xia Xiao and he influenced each other, and now both were in poor spirits.

"I don't know. I haven't noticed."

Huodou slowly stood up and stepped into the magma with Xia Xiao. The world below was very deep, like a lake of fire with stone impurities. There were no living creatures in it, and Xia Xiao and Huodou were the only visitors. But several stones were connected, and the magma was like a lock, imprisoning and tightly binding the pearls.

After hearing about the pearl from Ju Mang, Xiao Yu agreed with Xia Xiao to destroy it. She was wrong. She just felt that the vibration of the pearl was very familiar and was somewhat similar to herself, so she wanted it. Unexpectedly, she attracted the mysterious man. After being hit by Ju Mang's full-strength lightning three times, she still overturned the sea. It was really terrifying to imagine. Unfortunately, their strength was not enough to grind it into powder, so they could only bring it here.

After a long period of erosion by the fire energy, the surface of the pearl has become uneven, but it seems to have no major impact on it, like a small wound or scar on a strong person, which can heal quickly. Xia Xiao always feels that it has an indescribable sense of mystery, like a pearl lost in the ocean, but it hides not only a period of time that has passed, but also the lives of countless people.

Taking the pearl out of the lock with both hands, Xia Xiao returned to the altar, wrapped it in flames, and made it float in the air.

"I'm going to take it back to the academy. Please keep an eye on it."

There must be something unusual about this pearl, but Xia Xiao could not detect it, so he had to take it back to the academy for the seniors to study. Whether it was the darkness or the devil, he could not afford to provoke them now. Although the Southern Kingdom of Daxia had tens of millions of people, they dared not get involved. Only the academy could conduct in-depth or shallow research.

The nodding Huotou stared at Xia Xiao's departing back, a trace of dark energy passed through his eyes. Xia Xiao felt it, but did not turn back. He knew Huotou's temper. He let him see a pearl, and he could hate him like this. He really had a strange temper. But he didn't think it was strange no matter how Huotou reacted, because it was not the first time that Huotou showed real murderous intent towards him.

If they were not bound by a common destiny, they probably wouldn't even be able to be friends.

Thinking of this, Xia Xiao sighed and left the volcano. But Huodou, who was standing on the altar, shook his head, his eyebrows knitted together, as if he had lost his mind before.

What's going on?

Huodou suddenly felt dizzy, but he didn't know why, so he just lay down on the altar and prepared to have a good sleep. It might be caused by his poor mental state, and he should take a rest.

"Wait until I come back."

Xia Xiao was going to go out and get some medicine. After such a long time, all the people who went to the Dragon Palace had come out. They must be like him, so there was medicine to be gotten. Ah Zhu's face, which was in stark contrast to his usual face, seemed to be about to bloom with a summer-like smile, and Xia Xiao took all the silver and went out.

In a fuzzy consciousness, Ah Zhu strolled on the bloody wasteland, her figure disappeared a hundred meters away, and then reappeared very close. She disappeared and reappeared, appeared and disappeared again, and so on, as if she did not exist in this world, but just stayed here temporarily. The bloody wasteland was blowing a strong wind, which was the complete five elements, like a drop of five-color ink that broke into a pure ** plate, but it gave birth to an unknown flower, waiting for her to fill in the colors carefully.
