Nearly a thousand miles away, a dragon with a light body floated in the air. It came to the white-bearded old man and spoke in human language.
"Something happened again?"
"Yeah! If it weren't for that girl Shu Shuang who bought some time, I wouldn't be able to save Xia Xiao."
"When did he come into the world?"
Youlong's voice was like that of a young man, extremely upright, yet a little sad.
"Five months ago, I sneaked in when Tanghua Temple wasn't paying attention."
"The seal has been lifted, and there will be more such incidents. It is better to send him directly to Ningshen Academy."
The old man shook his head.
"Xia Xiao awakened the Wood Element after experiencing life and death, and it is estimated that the other four elements are the same, so he must be placed in such an environment, otherwise he will grow very slowly. And with his personality, he will not go directly to Ningshen Academy. He wants to prove himself more than anyone else in the world."
"What if something happens again?"
"With Shu Shuang here, the so-called Zhu family can't threaten him, and the guy who put down the seal can't do anything for the time being, so don't worry."
Youlong nodded, feeling curious that the person who came from afar was a cold-blooded young man like Xia Xiao, which was a little different from what he expected.
"But it's a problem right now. Can Xia Xiao solve it?"
"able!"
The old man took a sip of wine and was very calm. If Xia Xiao saw him, he would definitely ask why? Because his current situation was very bad.
It was pitch black all around and he couldn't see anything. He was preparing to be on guard and fight back, but he was afraid of being fatally hit.
Xia Xiao wanted to curse and curse his ancestors, but this was a life-and-death situation and he couldn't afford to be careless. He closed his eyes. His eyes were unreliable now, and neither were his ears.
Ju Mang of the Wood Element!
Xia Xiao suddenly thought of the little guy with a human head and a bird body, so he held the broadsword, half-crouched, and touched the ground with his left hand. If it was the wood element, he would definitely be able to sense the other party's position through the weeds.
"Give me a helping hand."
Xia Xiao murmured, and the green light floating on his body focused on his left hand. This was the first time he used the power of the Wood Element, and he mastered it with ease.
Soon, he felt it. In the dark world, dots of green fluorescence flashed, each of which was the vein of wild grass. They lit up the entire grassland and connected together, like a starry sky growing on the ground. Then it beat like a heart, and then spoke, reminding Xia Xiao.
"I saw you."
Xia Xiao was a little excited, and a weak electric current rushed to his brain, making his head hot and his whole body numb. Is this the power of the five elements? No wonder the wild beasts with the power of the five elements are stronger than humans of the same level!
His face was not tilted, but his sword moved slightly. The man holding the umbrella was behind him. He would close the umbrella and stab his heart with the bayonet on it, but before that, Xia Xiao would definitely kill him first. The sinister man now had lost his previous strength, and he could definitely do it!
The soul-destroying song in the ringtones was like a ghost crying and a baby crying, gradually becoming more fantastic and miserable, as if it wanted to trap Xia Xiao in it, making him subconsciously doubt his own judgment. But the veins of these wild grasses would not lie, and the place where they were under pressure was where the tall and thin man was!
Even after some recovery, Xia Xiao still had little energy left in his body. He gathered it all into his broadsword as a last resort.
With rapid breathing, the machete emitted a scarlet light. Xia Xiao knew that this was a game of speed and life and death. He was betting his life and could only win. If he reacted a little slower, he might die.
Holding the machete tightly, Xia Xiao waited, but now was not the time.
If you keep calm, you can kill it.
The tall and thin man wanted to make Xia Xiao feel desperate, so he moved around him, as if he existed in every corner. Then, the tall and thin man's legs turned into black smoke, and his body shot out.
The wind rises and the weeds sway wildly!
The green fluorescent veins were flashing. Almost there! Almost there! Xia Xiao didn't look behind him, but when a cold light touched his skin, he stood up suddenly.
The sole of his foot drew a semicircle on the ground, Xia Xiao twisted his body to avoid the bayonet behind him, and then slashed at him with the machete in his hand. One slash! Two slashes!
Xia Xiao opened his red eyes, and the murderous intent in his heart made him swing his weapon continuously, as if he wanted to cut the man into pieces.
With the first blow, the man turned into black smoke, and then turned into nothingness under Xia Xiao's swing.
The thick fog dissipated, the sound of the soul-killing song disappeared, and there was deathly silence all around. This was the sound Xia Xiao wanted to hear most now.
Success? Apparently.
Xia Xiao looked up, looked at the moon and let out a long breath. It was finally over.
"Don't get too carried away, you will lose to me sooner or later!"
The voice in his ear gave Xia Xiao a start. Not dead?
He turned around suddenly and swept the machete in his hand, but there was nothing around him, the sky and the earth were empty.
Hallucination? Last words? Xia Xiao no longer had time to care. He just lay on the ground, unable to move.
He may have been lying there for two hours, or maybe just a few minutes, Xia Xiao himself didn't know. When he got up, the first thing he did was to go back to Shu Shuang.
Carrying the light and soft Shu Shuang on his back, Xia Xiao walked towards two trees in the distance. Ding Qiang and several brothers were waiting, and were surprised to see Xia Xiao coming back injured.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Ding Qiang came over to help Xia Xiao, but he turned his body to the side, not wanting Ding Qiang to touch Shu Shuang. In Xia Xiao's heart, this girl was pure and flawless, and no one could touch her.
"fine!"
After saying these two words coldly, Xia Xiao returned to the tree he had been leaning against before.
The previous fire was extinguished, and Ding Qiang's three brothers picked up a few pieces of wood and re-started the fire, but it was much dimmer. Xia Xiao picked up a piece of wood with flames and carefully checked whether Shu Shuang was injured.
This was the second time Shu Shuang had done this. Xia Xiao didn't know when she would wake up, but the only thing that could comfort him was that she didn't have any injuries on her body, at least it seemed that way.
Holding her in his arms, Xia Xiao said to Ding Qiang and the others:
"It's okay now, go to sleep."
Ding Qiang was a little curious, and so was everyone else, but the horse had stopped neighing, and they were too embarrassed to ask, so they just took a nap.
In the light of the fire, Xia Xiao glanced at Shu Shuang, then closed his eyes. He came to the forest, where Ju Mang was waiting for him.
"We win! We win!"
Ju Mang jumped a few steps and flew up. Xia Xiao saw it and said sincerely:
"Thank you."
"You're welcome! It's my honor!"
As Ju Mang grew up, its voice could identify its gender, that it was a boy.
Xia Xiao sat under the tree and asked him:
"Do you know him?"
Ju Mang tilted his head and quickly said that he didn't know him.
"That's right, you've been by my side since you woke up, how could you possibly know him?"
Xia Xiao felt a little melancholy. This feeling of not knowing the truth was not pleasant. When he was about to leave, Ju Mang flew into the sky, and the whole forest began to shake. Countless leaves flashed green light, which continued to gather and then rushed towards Xia Xiao.
Ding Qiang narrowed his eyes and woke up. When he saw Xia Xiao, he couldn't help but say "fuck".
This guy is glowing green all over, so I dare not mess with him!
Muttering something, Ding Qiang turned over and continued to sleep.
