Jing Yan felt somewhat complacent, but when he looked at Xue Ren again, he saw that Xue Ren had already dealt with four of them.
Jing Yan was unwilling to fall behind, so he quickly closed his eyes, smelled several tracks, and used both hands to chop three of them in one go.
Jing Yan and Xue Ren Zuoye got rid of the rat-headed monsters that were entangled with them, and then ran towards Luo Youyou at a high speed.
Several hungry rat-headed monsters had already peeled off Luo Youyou's body. They ignored the leader's orders and bit holes in her body to suck blood. The leader seemed to enjoy it and didn't care about those disobedient subordinates.
The rat-headed monster's teeth kept gnawing at Luo Youyou, and the pain made her lose consciousness. There was also an unknown force paralyzing her nerves, making her unable to move, as if she had been given an anesthetic injection, but the pain was real. This feeling was strange and weird.
His pale face looked a little sick due to excessive blood loss, and his body was so weak that he could hardly stand. Luo Youyou was holding up his body. If he fell down at this moment, he might never wake up again.
A cold light flashed in Xue Ren's eyes, piercing and biting. He drew his sword quickly, and the tip of the sword brushed across Luo Youyou's neck. A flying shadow flashed, and only a gust of wind was heard in time. The sword blade passed through Luo Youyou's neck. If it was not accurate, her head and body would be separated, but Xue Ren just passed through her skin at the right place, without hurting her at all.
Jing Yan was so frightened by this thrilling scene that he froze in place. The surroundings were cold, as if dragging him into a bottomless abyss. The moment he saw the bloody sword slash across Luo Youyou's neck, he felt that his heart had stopped beating, of course, if he was still a human.
The leader of the rat-headed monsters wasn't hurt at all, having flown away the instant Blood Blade swung his sword. Nimble and agile, he flew to a safe distance at lightning speed. With a fierce glare in his eyes, he kicked at him, emitting a piercing cry that sounded like a declaration of war.
Xue Ren remained calm in the face of danger, his expression unwavering. His cold eyes slowly closed. The leader's scent was strong and easy to distinguish. He locked onto his position and suddenly drew his sword, but the moment he did so, he suddenly opened his eyes. He found that the scent had disappeared the moment he swung his sword. When he opened his eyes again, the leader was already right in front of him, spitting out something like a snake's tongue, as sharp as a knife.
The situation was completely beyond Blood Ren's expectations. He dodged nimbly, but was ultimately a bit slow due to surprise. He also clearly felt that his speed was far inferior to the leader's. His nose was cut deeply, and blood was flowing.
To their surprise, Blood Blade's blood did not attract the rat-headed monsters to attack. They had no interest in his blood and seemed to have a special liking for Luo Youyou's blood.
"My blood... will enhance their abilities..." Luo Youyou said weakly, falling backwards. Jing Yan quickly flashed behind her and caught her limp body steadily.
As the rat-headed monsters sucked her blood, she could feel the power within them expanding. Whether this expansion was good or bad, Luo Youyou couldn't judge yet. The rat-headed monsters were too small. Injecting such a powerful force into them was like overinflating a ball.
"Take good care of Youyou!" Xue Ren looked at Luo Youyou in Jing Yan's arms with complicated eyes, gave a word of instruction, and then went to fight the rat-headed monster leader.
Although the rat-headed monster was small in size, it suffered no disadvantage in this battle. Blood Blade was soon covered with scars, and the wounds on its body healed very slowly, with blood gushing out of the wounds.
The rat-headed monster was obviously a little proud, and the tone of the roar from its mouth changed. It was no longer tense and urgent, which made people nervous. Instead, it was singing a war song with the attitude of a victor.
Xue Ren felt the strength in his body being rapidly drained away, and his steps began to become weak. The rat-headed monster's roar seemed not only a war song, but also a demonic sound that could disturb the opponent's mind.
The rat-headed monster seized the opportunity and, while the Blood Blade's lost strength had not yet found a way to condense, suddenly snatched the wooden sword from his hand, pointed it at his heart, and rushed forward with a shrill scream that pierced the sky.
The scream of the rat-headed monster woke Luo Youyou up. She suddenly opened her eyes and saw the scene of Blood Blade in danger. Her eyes suddenly flashed red, and a strange red storm gathered in her eyes. The originally quiet forest was blew violently, the branches and leaves of the trees trembled in the wind, and the roots shivered in the soil. The wind was like a mad monster, whimpering all over the sky.
The rat-headed monster looked at Luo Youyou's red eyes in horror, its body shaking violently in the wind. It threw away its sword, trying to escape from this cage made of wind, but after flying only a few steps, its body suddenly exploded and turned into fragments that scattered all over the ground.
All the rat-headed monsters that had sucked Luo Youyou's blood "bloomed" like fireworks. Their blood composed a desperate elegy, and the last red flower exploded in the air, and then they fell one after another.
The white moonlight sprinkled on the branches, and the breeze blew through the wild flowers that were about to bloom. The delicate and beautiful flowers trembled slightly in the wind, and everything returned to its original state. The blood-red in Luo Youyou's eyes gradually faded, and the gem-like black eyes shone like water, calm as if the wind and massacre just now did not exist.
She closed her eyes tiredly. The world was so quiet as if everything ceased to exist. Only Jing Yan and Xue Ren were staring at each other in astonishment, having not recovered from the shock they had just experienced.
Blood Blade's wound gradually healed. He picked up the wooden sword and laughed at himself. This was the first time his sword had been taken away from him. For a hunter, it was a great shame and humiliation. At such a moment, he had to rely on a woman to come to the rescue.
He walked to the leader's bloodstain and squatted down. He dipped his finger in a little blood and put it in his mouth. A smell belonging to Luo Youyou came to his face. Perhaps it was Luo Youyou's blood that remained in the monster's body, and it was controlled by Luo Youyou instead, like a bomb installed in the body, and the remote control was still in Luo Youyou's hand.
Xue Ren looked back at Luo Youyou. Her calm face looked particularly peaceful under the bright moonlight, yet she was inextricably linked to the power of darkness. Who was she?
Luo Youyou seemed to be fast asleep, breathing evenly, her chest rising and falling rhythmically, her lips dry and pale, and she kept mumbling a single word, "Blood..."
Jing Yan and Xue Ren looked at each other, then Xue Ren nodded, made a gesture, indicating that he should stay where he was, and turned and disappeared into the jungle. His clothes rustled the branches of the short trees, and he disappeared in a moment.
Jing Yan held Luo Youyou quietly, his cold body greedily feeling the warmth from Luo Youyou's body. Her warmth continuously transmitted to his body, making Jing Yan's breathing a little disordered.
The clouds in the sky gathered and dispersed, light and shadows shifted, and the tangled forest air, carrying Luo Youyou's unique fragrance, filled Jing Yan's nostrils. Jing Yan stared intently at Luo Youyou's goddess-like perfect face, and as if unable to control himself, he slowly leaned over, their lips only a leaf's distance away...
