Beauty and the Bodyguard

Everything around him is unknown and may be fatal dangers. The only thing that makes Lin Yi feel at ease right now is that the jade pendant no longer warns at this moment. Let's not talk about Chu Bubai. At least one thing is certain. It's safe for now.

But being safe for a moment does not mean that it will always be safe in the future. On the one hand, Lin Yi didn't want to stay in the same place for too long. On the other hand, he also wanted to know what kind of trick Chu Bubai was up to, so he held Huang Xiaotao tightly with one hand and walked forward carefully. .

However, after taking only a few steps, the jade pendant began to warn again. The further forward, the more intense the warning became. Lin Yi was finally sure that this place was definitely not ordinary, and there was 100% problem ahead!

After understanding this, Lin Yi stopped moving forward and took Huang Xiaotao directly to stop again.

"Aren't we leaving?" Huang Xiaotao turned to look at Lin Yi and asked in surprise.

"Yes, I'm not leaving." Lin Yi nodded. He was not a fool. He knew that there was a dragon's pond and a tiger's den ahead of him, and he took Huang Xiaotao to break into it. That doesn't mean that a skilled person is brave, but that means he has a brain.

"Then let's..." Huang Xiaotao couldn't help but shrink his neck as he looked at the foggy surroundings and the ghostly figures flashing from time to time.

"It's okay, let's just stay here. There's no danger." Lin Yi smiled reassuringly. By staying where he was, he could stay as vigilant as possible, and the jade pendant could warn him in advance, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

"Okay." Huang Xiaotao nodded obediently. Although she was still nervous, she would do whatever Lin Yi said.

Time passed bit by bit, and in the blink of an eye, the sky began to get brighter, indicating that a whole night had passed, but the fog had not dissipated. Compared with the night, the visibility was slightly better, but very limited.

What surprised Lin Yi was that he and Huang Xiaotao stayed here and waited for a whole night, but they did not encounter any situation. There was no danger, but there was no news about the people in front, Chu Bubai and Guo Dengtao. It seemed like it really disappeared out of thin air.

Although Lin Yi was puzzled, he was not in a hurry. As a killer, the last thing he lacked was patience.

Huang Xiaotao, who was with him, was a little afraid of the weird and evil environment around her because of her girlish nature, but she had been doing trial missions in the past few years, so her patience was naturally first-class.

The two of them waited there all night without showing any sign of impatience. After another three or four hours, it was estimated that it was already noon.

"Lin Yi, why don't we leave?" Huang Xiaotao looked at Lin Yi eagerly and said, it's not that she ran out of patience, but this place is too crowded, especially when ghosts can be seen flickering from time to time, but I couldn't figure out what it was, and the more I thought about it, the more my scalp became numb, and I felt really scared.

"Wait a little longer." Lin Yi held Huang Xiaotao in his arms comfortingly. When things got to this point, it was indeed the safest way to turn around and leave. After all, they had the route map given by Chu Bubai and had already walked before. After going through it once, it shouldn't be a big problem to return the same way.

However, Lin Yi didn't want to give up just like that. If he didn't smell the medicinal aroma of Yingshen, it would be fine. Now he was sure that there must be Yingshen around!

No one would be willing to turn away because of an unknown threat. Even if they escape successfully, they will definitely regret it when the time comes.

Rather than regret, it is better to wait and see. Of course, even if he is not willing to leave like this, Lin Yi cannot take Huang Xiaotao to take risks. He still has this sense of propriety.

"Oh." Huang Xiaotao said nothing more, just leaned against Lin Yi and continued to wait quietly.

While waiting, four or five hours passed in the blink of an eye. The sky had turned dark again, and the surroundings had once again become dark and ghostly. However, Lin Yi and the two still had not received any news. The people in front of them had been There was no news from them all.

Now, even Lin Yi, who was originally confident, couldn't help but start to have doubts in his heart.

Could it be that the front is really the ghost mist formation that Chu Bubai mentioned? Although there is indeed danger, as long as you rush over, everything will be fine? And people like Chu Bubai and Guo Dengtao, did they leave through other routes after obtaining the infant ginseng?

The questions in his head made Lin Yi lose confidence in his original judgment. Lin Yi even felt that if he continued to wait here, maybe he wouldn't wait for anything for a few more days!

Although it is safe now, if time goes by, who knows what will appear in this place. I have been waiting for a day and a night, and if I continue to wait, it will probably be in vain.

After much thought, Lin Yi finally made up his mind and decided to take Huang Xiaotao back first. However, just when he was about to talk to Huang Xiaotao, not far in front of the mist, there was suddenly the sound of messy footsteps and heavy footsteps. The sound of breathing!

Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao's hearts suddenly tightened. They looked at each other and quickly mobilized their inner energy. They were on full alert while trying to sense the situation ahead.

In the heavy fog, not far ahead, a shadowy figure appeared!

Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao were shocked when they saw this. Although it was just a rough outline, they had been following this person these days.

The person in the mist ahead was surprisingly Chu Bubai, who had disappeared for a whole day and night!

At this moment, Chu Bubai was running madly in the direction of Lin Yi and the two of them, running desperately, and it seemed like something was chasing him behind him.

A master of the late Jindan period was so chased that his steps were messy. Even if they couldn't see his face clearly, Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao could clearly feel his panic at the moment. It was simply unbelievable.

When Lin Yi saw this, he couldn't help but secretly wonder, who is behind Chu Bubai?

Chu Bubai doesn't look like a parallel import. Judging from his aura, even among the masters of the late Jindan stage at the same level, he is by no means a weakling. Could it be that the person who can make him so embarrassed is a powerful existence in the Nascent Soul stage?

Lin Yi and Lin Yi were stunned when they heard Chu Bubai running away frantically without choosing a path, and seemed very surprised and unwilling to give up. He muttered to himself in disbelief: "Huh! It shouldn't be! This ginseng obviously only costs five gold." If the golden elixir of an alchemy master is used as a sacrifice, there will no longer be any aggression. This is what grandpa said personally. It can't be wrong! Those ghost talisman demons that were controlled before should have been lured over. That's right, how come...Gah!"

The words stopped abruptly, and there was an extremely shrill scream. Then, the figure who was getting closer and closer to Lin Yi and the two of them was attacked by some powerful evil force, and turned into a cloak of blood with a bang. fog!
