Chapter 177 New Protector
Chapter 177 New Protector
Listening to the conversation coming from afar, Xiang Yuandai slowly walked out of the tent and walked straight towards the group of people who were discussing. The leading soldier seemed to want to persuade them, but Xiao Qingxiu took the lead and said firmly: "Just listen to the arrangements of General Ying! Otherwise, at the critical moment, she will have to distract herself to save you, which will be even more troublesome!" At this point, she suddenly remembered Shi Juyi and Feng Yequn who rushed down the cliff to save Luo Ying.
Xiao Qingxiu couldn't help but reveal a bit of sadness on her face. She sighed softly and said, "Now that General Shi and Guard Feng are not guarding Marshal Ying, we have to be more careful and cautious and can't be negligent anymore." Her words were full of concern for Marshal Ying and her longing for her comrades.
Hearing this, Xiang Yuandai turned to Shao Hanyue beside him and asked nervously in a low voice: "Is Guard Feng here too?"
Shao Hanyue frowned slightly, and said in a low and heavy voice: "He had always been by Yingshuai's side to protect him. Last time, he was seriously injured while trying to save Yingshuai, and was sent back!"
Xiang Yuandai's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and he asked in surprise: "That guy is so skilled! How could he be seriously injured?"
Shao Hanyue sighed, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes: "Last time was the first time we fought against a divine beast, and we didn't understand its habits. Not only was the wind guard seriously injured, but a general was also sacrificed."
Xiang Yuandai clenched his fists, his eyes burning with anger. He said bitterly: "It's so serious! Hua Yuchen is really going too far! She is willing to take such a risk!"
Xiang Yuandai took a deep breath, cleared his throat, and raised his voice, his voice full of firm strength: "Yes, the general's analysis is correct, you don't have to go, the four of us can go!"
Luo Ying looked at him, her eyes full of worry and determination. She flatly refused, "No, Brother Yuandai, you can't go. You have never been to the battlefield, never fought with a divine beast, you don't know how dangerous it is!"
Xiang Yuandai said with a hint of arrogance: "Don't think I'm idle all day long. I've practiced my magic skills well. Although I'm not as powerful as Hua Yuchen, I should be able to protect you once or twice!"
Luo Ying rejected him mercilessly: "No! I can't let you take risks!"
Xiang Yuandai walked lightly to Luo Ying's side, leaned over and whispered in her ear: "I can't bear to see you take risks! I must follow you to protect you! If you don't let me follow, I will follow you secretly, and then I will be caught by the beast alone..."
Hearing this, Luo Ying hurriedly interrupted him, with a somewhat helpless and compromising tone: "Okay, okay! I'm afraid of you!"
Hearing this, Xiang Yuandai couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and revealed a smug smile.
The four of them came to the familiar edge of the cliff again. Luo Ying stared at the bottom of the cliff, recalling the scene where Shi Juyi and Feng Yequn jumped off the cliff to save her. The grief in her heart was like a torn wound, and sadness surged like a tide, and her eyes couldn't help but moisten. Seeing this, Shao Hanyue walked up to her gently, hugged her tenderly, and comforted her softly: "Sister, don't be sad! It's all over!"
Luo Ying gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said in a slightly trembling voice: "We must get the first artifact today to comfort Ju Yi." Shao Hanyue looked at her determined eyes and nodded silently.
Luo Ying calmed down and began to arrange the items around her in an orderly manner. She placed the cornucopia and the large iron pot filled with food in an orderly manner, then stood up, clapped her hands, and said with satisfaction: "Okay! Done!"
She turned around and looked at Xiao Qingxiu beside her, with a serious look on her face: "Qingxiu, we will each go in a different direction to attract the attention of the Taotie..."
Before Luo Ying finished her words, Xiang Yuandai interrupted her anxiously and said firmly: "No, you can't go. I will go with this general. I can't let you take risks!"
Luo Ying wanted to insist, but Shao Hanyue quickly held her hand and said softly, "Okay, sister, don't reject the kindness of His Royal Highness Prince Yu."
After she finished speaking, she hurriedly pulled Luo Ying with her, and the two of them hid in the bushes beside them, secretly watching the movements around them. At this moment, Shao Hanyue was like a naughty elf, teasing Luo Ying, "Your Highness Prince Yu is the new protector!"
After hearing this, Luo Ying rolled his eyes at Shao Hanyue and retorted in dissatisfaction: "Don't talk nonsense! Find a chance to let him return to heaven first. He is idle all day long, how can he fight with the divine beasts?"
Shao Hanyue seemed to smile, leaned close to Luo Ying's ear mysteriously, and whispered jokingly: "The power of love... is to make everything impossible become possible!"
Hearing this, Luo Ying glared at her again and said angrily, "You're here again, stop talking nonsense!"
Shao Hanyue shrugged helplessly, and muttered: "I don't know when our Third Prince will arrive. We finally sent away the big rival Feng Huwei, and now another one pops up. Just like the Third Prince said, no matter who stays by your side, it is not as reassuring as having him stay by your side."
These words made Luo Ying's cheeks flush with shyness instantly. She lowered her head slightly, not daring to look at Shao Hanyue.
At this moment, the heart-shaking footsteps rolled in like thunder, as if to shake the whole world. Then, a deafening roar split the sky, that was the roar of Taotie.
Luo Ying quickly parted the grass in front of him and carefully poked his head out. He saw that the ferocious Taotie had come to the side of the treasure bowl and the big iron pot, and its two heads were greedily opening their big mouths, devouring the treasures in the bowl and the delicacies in the pot.
Time seemed to slow down at this moment. Luo Ying held his breath and watched Taotie's every move. After a long time, there was a loud noise of a heavy object falling to the ground. With a "bang", Taotie finally ate his fill, fell to the ground, and fell into a deep sleep.
The four of them quietly walked out of the bushes and came to the sleeping Taotie beast. They saw the beast lying on the ground with a huge body, like a sleeping mountain, and a strong mysterious atmosphere filled the air. They looked around and confirmed that there were no other dangers, then began to search the Taotie carefully.
Their eyes shuttled back and forth on the giant beast, exploring every inch of skin and every corner that might hide the artifact. However, after a long search, they found nothing. Xiao Qingxiu sighed softly, shook his head, and said: "It seems that the artifact is not on them, just as Ying Shuai expected."
Luo Ying nodded and said, "Then I'll go look for it in their fantasy world."
After saying this, Luo Ying used the illusion of the sea of flowers to carefully construct a dreamlike environment. Just as she was about to step into the mysterious dream of Taotie, Xiang Yuandai suddenly grabbed her arm, his tone full of worry and anxiety: "It's too dangerous! I'll go in with you!"
Luo Ying gently patted the back of his hand and comforted him, "Brother Yuandai, I know you are worried about me. We don't know what is going on in their dreams. If too many people go in, they might be disturbed. Don't worry! I will be careful!"
She smiled slightly and continued, "Besides, they can't hurt me in a dream. You just need to guard them outside and don't let them wake up. You must control their emotions, otherwise they lose control of their emotions and I won't be able to come back!"
Xiang Yuandai wanted to persuade her again, but was interrupted by Shao Hanyue: "Your Highness Prince Yu, we should stay outside to prevent Taotie from waking up, so as to ensure my sister's safety!"
Xiang Yuandai nodded helplessly, his eyes full of worry and reluctance: "You must be very careful if you go alone!"
Luo Ying nodded firmly, and then she turned into a beam of brilliant light, lightly penetrating the invisible boundaries and going deep into the deep and mysterious dream of Taotie.
Unexpectedly, Taotie's dream was not eerie, but a fairyland-like world. Here, birdsong and flowers are everywhere, and flowers are blooming in colorful and fragrant colors. The air is filled with a fresh breath, as if you are in a pure and flawless paradise.
Luo Ying strolled in this dream, feeling the beauty and tranquility around her. She knew that this might be the only way to explore the secrets deep inside the heart of Taotie. So, with a firm belief, she continued to move forward, looking for the key clues to solve the mystery.
A fierce quarrel suddenly broke out, instantly attracting Luo Ying's attention. She looked up and saw two handsome young men standing face to face, the atmosphere between them was tense and intense. Their faces looked a little excited, and their voices were loud and powerful, as if they were arguing about an important issue. Luo Ying couldn't help but be attracted by this scene, and stood quietly aside, listening to their quarrel.
A man with dragon horns on his head and flaming red hair, like a burning flame jumping in the dark night, flashing a dazzling light. His eyes are as deep as black holes, as if they can swallow all the light, revealing an indomitable domineering aura. He is wearing a dazzling red and gold armor, each piece of armor seems to have been forged by fire, flashing a metallic luster, showing his endless bravery and strength. His laughter is as wild and unrestrained as a storm, revealing his unruly character, as if the whole world is under his control.
The other has a completely different look. He has silver horns on his head and flowing silver hair, like moonlight falling on the Milky Way, flashing a cool and mysterious light. His eyes are like stars, deep and bright, as if he can see through the mysteries of all things in the world. He is wearing a robe of star white and silver, and each star seems to be flashing a unique light, adding a bit of mystery and elegance to him. His behavior reveals a sense of calmness and composure, as if all the troubles in the world cannot shake his heart.
