### Chapter 39: The Demonic Forest, Dangers Abound
During the break in the fight, I looked up and met Liang Xu's gaze.
His eyes were filled with complex emotions.
I followed his gaze and noticed the wound on my shoulder.
It was a scratch left by a demonized wild wolf. The wound was still bleeding and it hurt like hell.
"You are injured." Liang Xu's voice was low and concerned. He gently stretched out his hand and touched my wound with his fingertips. A warm breath came over me, as if it had a healing power.
I felt the pain in the wound ease a lot, and a warm feeling surged in my heart.
At this moment, I saw the deep tenderness in his eyes, which was completely different from his usual coldness.
"It's okay, just a superficial wound." I replied softly, but his concern made me feel warm in my heart.
In this dangerous and enchanted forest, the tacit understanding and warmth between us are particularly precious.
However, the battle is far from over.
The roar of the demonized giant bear sounded again, deafening.
It approached us with heavy steps.
Liang Xu's eyes became firm again and he quickly analyzed the situation.
"You attract its attention, and I will attack its weakness." Liang Xu said in a low voice, with unquestionable determination in his tone.
I nodded, and then I moved as fast as lightning, swinging my sword at the giant bear.
The giant bear roared angrily, the wind howled, and I had to dodge with all my might.
Liang Xu quietly went behind the giant bear, looking for the magic node.
I felt the vibration under the sword. The giant bear's attacks became more and more frantic, but I felt more determined in my heart.
Just as the giant bear swung its paw at me again, Liang Xu's black demonic energy shot towards the back of the giant bear like a sharp blade.
The demonized giant bear let out a miserable howl, its body shook violently, and finally fell to the ground with a bang.
Dust flew up and I felt a vibration beneath my feet, but finally, the beast stopped moving.
We looked at each other, breathing rapidly, but with a hint of victory in our eyes.
However, just as we were about to go deeper into the enchanted forest, a melodious flute sound suddenly rang out, penetrating the silence of the forest.
The voice carried an inexplicable magic, as if calling us.
"This sound..." Liang Xu frowned, his voice carrying a hint of alertness.
I gripped the sword tightly in my hand, feeling uneasy.
What is hidden behind this flute sound?
We looked at each other and walked towards the direction of the flute sound at the same time.
The surrounding forest became increasingly gloomy, as if foreshadowing unknown dangers.
At this moment, the sound of the flute suddenly became more urgent, as if warning us of something.
But it was too late, we were already in it.
The demonized giant bear fell to the ground with a bang, stirring up dust all over the sky.
The pungent smell of earth mixed with the smell of the giant bear's blood made me feel sick.
I covered my mouth and nose and looked at Liang Xu.
He stood beside the giant bear's corpse. The black evil aura had not yet dissipated, and it looked particularly eerie in the dim forest.
The sound of the flute rang out again, clearer than before, as if it was not far away.
I held the sword tightly in my hand and looked around vigilantly. The dense tree canopy blocked out the sun, and only a few spots of light shone through the gaps, forming strange spots of light on the ground.
The wind blew through the leaves, making a rustling sound, like countless whispers echoing in my ears.
Liang Xu walked up to me, a faint cold fragrance emanating from him, which was incompatible with the smell of blood, but made me feel a little at ease.
We followed the direction of the flute sound and moved forward cautiously.
The fallen leaves under my feet were thick and soft. Every step was silent, but it made me feel inexplicably depressed.
The trees around us became more and more twisted, with branches covered with sharp barbs, like monsters with bared fangs and claws, ready to devour us at any time.
The sound of the flute got closer and closer, and finally, we saw a clearing.
In the middle of the open space, sat a little girl in a white dress.
She had her back to us, holding a bamboo flute in her hand, playing that strange melody.
"Be careful." I whispered to Liang Xu.
The little girl seemed to hear our voices and turned around slowly.
She has a delicate face, big clear eyes and an innocent smile on her lips.
Normally, the appearance of a lost little girl in a place like this should make us let down our guard.
But I felt an inexplicable chill.
I used my spiritual power to sense the surroundings and discovered that the little girl was hiding an unusually strong spiritual power fluctuation, which was completely different from her weak appearance.
Liang Xu also frowned, apparently he also noticed something strange.
The little girl stood up and walked towards us step by step.
The smile on her face was still sweet, but her voice was as cold as hell, "Big Brother, are you here to see me?"
I held the sword tightly in my hand and said nothing.
Liang Xu stood in front of me, staring at the little girl with eyes like sharp blades, "Who are you?"
The little girl's smile suddenly froze. She stopped and tilted her head to look at us.
"I……"
The little girl's sweet smile twisted in an instant, and she looked as vicious as a demon.
Her originally clear eyes turned blood red, and the whites of her eyes were covered with black lines, like countless tiny insects crawling.
A powerful demonic energy burst out from the little girl, shaking the surrounding trees.
"Oh no! She is a demonized spirit!" I cried out in surprise and immediately injected my spiritual power into the sword. The sword emitted a dazzling golden light.
