Chapter 239 What did you do to Xing'er?
The roar and calling seemed to penetrate the dream, real and urgent.
Xing'er looked up and found that she was still hanging on the familiar big tree, but the world around her seemed different from last night, with more noise and anxiety.
The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, dappling onto my body, bringing a hint of warmth, but also reflecting the chaos and changes on the ground - at the edge of the forest, machines are roaring, dust is flying, and it is obvious that an external force is destroying this peaceful home.
"Xing'er, Xing'er! Are you here?"
The voice sounded again, clearer and more anxious.
Xing'er flapped her wings to fly, but found that her wings were a little stiff because she had not moved for a long time. She flapped her wings hard and finally flew away from the branch and flew towards the direction where the sound came from.
There was an unusual noise coming from deep in the forest.
Shen Li, a heroic female warrior wearing armor, held in her hand the "Sky-shaking" spear that shook all directions. Like the light of dawn, she penetrated through the dense forest and headed straight here.
Every step she took was firm and powerful, as if even the earth was shaking.
The Sky-Bearing Slash in Shen Li's hand drew brilliant arcs in the air as she moved with her agile figure. Wherever it went, sturdy trees broke, opening up a path for her to the core of the forest.
Her eyes revealed unquestionable firmness and determination, and she vowed to protect every living being on this land.
Seeing this, Xing'er was filled with great excitement and gratitude. It flapped its wings and flew straight to Shen Li, shouting happily: "Sister Shen Li, you are finally here! Be careful, it is very dangerous here, go quickly, go quickly."
Shen Li looked up when she heard the voice and saw the colorful bird with a look of trust - Xing'er.
She smiled slightly, with a hint of tenderness in her eyes:
"Xing'er, don't worry. I'm here and will never let anyone hurt you."
Shen Li's surprise quickly turned into deep anger and confusion.
She looked around, trying to find a clue about Luqi from this bizarre scene.
Xing'er's cries became more and more shrill in her ears, as if she was imprisoned by some force and unable to break free.
Shen Li clenched her teeth and tried hard to suppress the panic in her heart.
She knew that she had to stay calm in order to find a way to rescue Xing'er.
"Eh? Isn't this the famous King Bi Cang, Lord Shen Li?" Luqi's charming and abrupt voice suddenly sounded, like a phantom whispering in the night.
Shen Li's eyes flashed, and she quickly locked onto the graceful woman, Luqi, who was like a spirit snake entwined on the top of an ancient tree. "Who are you?" Her tone revealed a majesty that should not be underestimated.
"Oh, it's Luqi. It was me who captured Xing'er here. If you want to rescue it, King Bi Cang, I'm afraid you will have to exchange your own safety for it."
Luqi's eyes sparkled with cunning and fiery light.
After he finished speaking, the air around him suddenly changed, a strong wind blew up, and blew up fallen leaves and dust all over the ground.
Her figure, like a shadow swept away by a strong wind, disappeared from sight in an instant, leaving only the lingering sound, full of provocation.
"Lüqi... I have never heard of this name, and I don't remember when such a grudge was formed." Shen Li murmured to himself, with a hint of doubt and confusion flashing between his brows.
In this world where the strong prey on the weak, grudges and love and hatred are often complicated, but as the King of Bi Cang, I have always acted uprightly. How could I make so many enemies for no reason?
Just as Shen Li was lost in thought, a burst of rapid bird calls interrupted her thoughts. Xing'er's despair and pain of being imprisoned were clearly conveyed to Shen Li through this weak cry.
She suddenly came back to her senses, and her eyes became firm and resolute again.
"No matter who you are, no matter what grudges we have between you and me, I will not let you hurt innocent Xing'er." Shen Li swore secretly in his heart, then stretched out his body and shot towards the direction where Luqi disappeared like an arrow.
Although Shen Li was so fast, he was still a step late.
When she rushed to the branch where Luqi was, she found nothing.
"Luqi, why are you doing this?"
There was anger and disappointment in Shen Li's voice that was difficult to conceal.
She demanded, "What did you do to Xing'er?"
But there was no response from Luqi except Xing'er's desperate wailing.
Shen Li closed her eyes and tried to feel everything around her, trying to find any clues left by Luqi.
Her heart was filled with worry about Xing'er, as well as confusion and anger about Luqi's behavior.
After some effort, Shen Li finally sensed an unusual fluctuation of power. She suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze was as sharp as a torch, as if it could penetrate the heavy fog and see directly to the core of the truth.
"Xing'er, don't be afraid, I will definitely rescue you!" Shen Li's voice was full of firmness and determination.
She noticed a warm and powerful energy beginning to gather in her palms, which was inspired by the deep emotional bond between her and Xing'er.
Shen Li took a deep breath and gathered this power in his palm.
With a sudden wave, a dazzling light broke through the void and rushed straight to the source of power that imprisoned Xing'er.
Finally, the necklace made of 12 star gems around Shen Li's neck burst into unprecedented bright light at this moment, as if the brightest stars in the night sky suddenly woke up, leading her out of the endless abyss of illusion.
Shen Li opened her eyes suddenly, her eyes flashing with sharpness and determination after awakening, but the scene before her made her heart tighten - the maple leaves turned into sharp leaf knives, like the most ruthless cold wind in autumn, sweeping over wantonly.
“Heaven-lifting Slash!”
Shen Li let out a low shout, and the spear in his hand instantly turned into a silver lightning, with a sound of breaking through the air, accurately blocking the oncoming leaf blade storm.
Every collision between the gun blade and the leaf knife was accompanied by a crisp sound of metal clashing, stirring the air around and testing Shen Li's endurance and skills.
However, at the most intense moment of this life-and-death struggle, a shrill and familiar scream pierced through all the noise and struck Shen Li's heart.
"Xing'er!" Shen Li was distracted involuntarily, and an indescribable panic and worry surged in her heart. This brief moment of distraction became the decisive moment.
A particularly sharp maple leaf wrapped in a bright red glow took advantage of the opportunity and slashed across Shen Li's tightly pursed lips at lightning speed, leaving a shocking blood mark.
Shen Li only felt a chill on her neck, and then warm liquid slid down. It was her own blood, reminding her of the cruelty and ruthlessness of the battle.
But this blow also became the fuse that shattered the illusion.
As Shen Li's blood dripped, the illusory space that once imprisoned her consciousness seemed to be torn open, and light and reality poured in like a tide.
The illusion collapsed in an instant, turning into countless fragments that dissipated in the wind, along with the unfathomable secret valley, which also disappeared from this world.
A reassuring miracle quietly happened.
