Chapter 389 Her Ghost Boyfriend (15)
The moon had just risen when Anna found the blond warrior leaning against the water.
Gerald was seriously injured. He had lost too much blood and his skin was pale. He sat weakly in the shadow of the tree, like a large abandoned dog.
But his hand holding the flower was very strong. No matter how cold the wind was, it could not shake his only hand that was protecting the flower.
Gerald heard footsteps. He raised his face and a smile appeared on his weak face. "Anna."
Anna glanced at his left shoulder where his hand was missing. Although the bleeding had stopped, the wound was still bloody and looked shocking.
But he could still laugh so brilliantly, as if he didn't realize how bad his current situation was, and he didn't even have the slightest cynicism.
Anna said: "You are so injured, how can you still laugh?"
Gerald's voice was not as powerful as before, but he was still as cheerful as before, "Anna, don't you know that I just fell into the flowerbed of carnivorous plants, so many carnivorous plants surrounded me, but I only lost an arm, and I ran out alive, this is such a lucky thing!"
Anna: "Are you a fool?"
Gerald smiled heartlessly, "I also know that I am not as smart as many people."
But perhaps it is because of this that he is so optimistic, even if he falls into hell, he can laugh like a fool.
It was the first time Anna had seen a man like Gerald. He seemed to have no dark side. The forest was filled with magical powers that could magnify the negative emotions of human beings, mobilize the darkest side of the human soul, and induce them to kill each other.
But Gerald was not shaken when he saw the gold and silver treasures. Even when his teammates were vying for a beauty like Sofia, he still stayed out of it.
What does a saint look like?
Anna had never seen one, but she had seen many people who claimed to be saints, but they also exposed their ugly side after entering the forest.
So she understood one thing, the so-called saints, but they hide their desires better than ordinary people.
So the word "saint" has become a derogatory term.
But Gerald is very different. He is persistent in his willingness to save every suffering person, but he never seeks the strength of others, nor will he drag others into the abyss of danger.
Through him, it seems that every corner of the world is beautiful, and it seems that no matter how bad things are, they are not that bad.
Anna said: "Aren't you angry and regretful? You didn't care about your own safety to save your companions, but they pushed you into danger in order to survive."
Gerald paused, "Did you see everything?"
Anna replied: "Well, although you asked me to stay where I was and wait, I was just a poor and weak little girl. I would be scared if I stayed where I was, so I followed them secretly."
Sophia accidentally entered a flower garden. When she found something wrong, she did react quickly and used magic to protect herself, but there were too many carnivorous plants, and she was entangled by the vines inadvertently.
Pierre and He Jin appeared and saved her, but they were also surrounded by carnivorous plants.
The brave Gerald held the Sword of Dawn in his hand. If the golden light of the sun descended, he cut off the piranha plant that tried to swallow Pierre in one bite, pulled up Hejin who fell to the ground with one hand, and swung the long sword again to cut off the vines entangled with Sofia.
In the flowerbed of countless piranha plants with their bloody mouths opened wide, Gerald stood in front of everyone and protected his teammates behind him.
The tall figure of the blond brave holding the long sword was bathed in the golden sunlight, and he alone isolated all dangers.
That was the first time Anna knew that perhaps the old-fashioned saints mentioned in the story really existed.
But not everyone in this world is worthy of his courage and blood.
The strange power at dusk was greatly enhanced, and the regeneration power of the piranha plants was particularly strong. They were endless. They gradually ran out of strength. If they continued like this, they would sooner or later become food for the piranha plants.
Perhaps it was because Gerald was particularly brave, which made the piranha plants hate him. Their attack targets gradually focused on Gerald.
The group finally killed their way out, but they had no time to escape. Someone pushed Gerald in the direction of the piranha plants in a hurry. When the piranha plants gathered in the direction of Gerald, they found a chance to escape.
It should be said that Gerald was lucky. He did not die in the pile of piranha plants, but only lost an arm.
But an arm, for a once healthy person, would also be a big blow.
In fact, Gerald did not see who pushed him into danger, but he did not think of asking Anna who was watching, because the answer was not important.
"Gerald!"
Sofia and He Jin's voices came from not far away. They quickly ran to Gerald's side and breathed a sigh of relief.
Sophia almost cried with joy, "Great, you're still alive!"
He Jin said, "Gerald, Pierre died on the way to escape. Sophia and I saw it. He pushed you into the Piranha Plant in order to survive. He deserved this fate."
Gerald lowered his head and put the purple flower in his arms. After a moment, he responded, "Really?"
Night fell, and a warm light was on in a small wooden house in the woods.
Bai Yao was lying on the sofa, hugging a pillow, drowsy, and did not notice that darkness was slipping in through the gap in the door.
The shadow was like a liquid that could blend into everything. It slowly spread to the wooden floor, passed through the carpet, and then meandered up along the sofa, gradually staining the girl's body. The
black sticky substance seemed to be a dye, which gradually wrapped up her exposed skin, and some of it penetrated under the hem of her skirt, then penetrated from her collar, and climbed up to her cheek, caressing it gently like mist and silk.
Bai Yao felt a little itchy, and she opened her eyes. She vaguely saw a dark mass on her body that had gathered into a half-human shape.
First the head, then the hands, the lower body did not rush to form, but wrapped around every part of her body under her skirt, he leaned down, the hand on her face merged with the black silk clinging to her side, then he lowered his head and touched her face.
Bai Yao heard his chuckle, "Yaoyao, I'm back."
