I didn't expect that I was the heartthrob.

Chapter 124: The River

Gu Lan is not afraid of anything except mice.

Following the direction pointed by my junior fellow apprentice, I looked inside through the broken hole in the abandoned house and saw countless fat rats gathered there, increasing in number.

Gu Lan instantly got goosebumps all over her body and took Ji Yanli's hand.

Ji Yanli was concentrating on thinking about something when he was suddenly grabbed by Gu Lan and was startled.

"What's wrong? Why are your hands wet and cold?" Gu Lan didn't answer, but nodded to let Ji Yanli look in that direction.

He suppressed his nausea and said, "Look!"

The fellow apprentices knew that she was afraid of mice and they would not let her see it on purpose. Besides, the two fellow apprentices seemed to have discovered something.

Ji Yanli also looked over.

I saw a group of rats gathered together, chirping and jumping up and down on the beams, but they did not dare to jump off the beams.

Suddenly, a bloody mouth opened at their feet, with fangs covered with blood and flesh. It rushed towards the beams. The rats were all frightened and ran around in panic, but there was nowhere to escape.

Around them, a huge tail holds them together.

A mouse tried to escape, but before it could get far, the tail smashed it into a pulp.

The huge mouth bit the beam of the mouse into its mouth. With a click, a piece of the beam as thick as a bowl was bitten off. It chewed with satisfaction, feeling the sweet and tender taste of the mouse's flesh and blood rolling in its mouth, and its throat gurgled with pleasure.

From the moonlight that filtered into the abandoned house, one could see that it was a human head.

The head belonged to a girl of about fourteen or fifteen years old. She had pigtails and her face was covered in blood. Her eyes were bright green and shining like will-o'-the-wisp in the darkness.

Then, as if sensing something, she looked towards the other side of the river.

Her eyes suddenly met Ji Yanli, and with a whoosh, she hid back into the darkness.

But at this time Ji Yanli had already recognized her, it was Xiaohe!

Ji Yanli's face changed, "Is that a small river?" and he flew over.

"Xiao He?" Gu Lan didn't know who Xiao He was, but when he saw that Ji Yanli's expression was not right, he knew that it was someone he knew, so he called his junior brother to follow him.

"Please ask the boss lady to take care of my junior brother and his friend first." After thinking for a while, Gu Lan felt a little worried and added, "Something happened here. I don't know when I can come back. Go and ask someone to go to Xuantian Sword Sect to find... find Shao Yu from Shenyin Sect."

After thinking about it, Gu Lan decided to find Shao Yu.

Shan Ling knew Shao Yu, and they seemed to have a good relationship. Moreover, Shao Yu's sect did not have as many rules as the Tianyin Sect, so they could go down the mountain at will, so it should be fine.

After saying that, he followed closely.

Xiao He met Ji Yanli.

She was afraid of being seen by Ji Yanli. She was a monster! Her benefactor was a sword fairy, and he would kill her.

Run away, run away!

But at the same time, another voice roared in her mind.

Eat the monks! Eat them!

Do not!

Xiaohe felt extremely painful. On the one hand, she wanted to stay away from them, but on the other hand, she wanted to get closer and eat them.

But how could she hurt her benefactor?

Xiao He did not hesitate and fled madly. She ran into the street. People saw her at once in the flickering lights. Their terrified looks scared Xiao He and made her even more panicked. She swung her huge snake tail around and rushed left and right, causing chaos in the busy street.

The brave ones beat her with stones and sticks.

Xiao He held her head and ran out of the town crying.

Ji Yanli followed behind her anxiously but calmly. He didn't want to solve the problem in the town. Just when he saw her running out of the town, he stopped Xu Fengxi and Xue Hao.

"Cooperate with me to drive her to the other side of the mountain. There are fields outside the town. Don't ruin the crops."

Xu Fengxi and Xue Hao nodded after hearing this, and the three of them separated at the entrance of the town and drove the stream from three sides.

Soon, they were out of the town and farm and drove the stream to the foot of the mountain.

There were a few hunters at the foot of the mountain, but now they were all empty. No one noticed this strange thing, and they just blocked the river.

The river has turned into a monster that looks like a snake but isn't a snake. It has a white snake tail dragging from under its neck, and the snake's head is a human head.

Beauty snake...

Gu Lan arrived later and saw this scene, and couldn't help but think of the beautiful snake in "A Chang and the Classic of Mountains and Seas"...

But this beautiful snake was covered in dirt, and several scales on its body had been removed, leaving only a bloody black hole.

"Xiao He!" Ji Yanli said, "Don't run anymore. You can't run away. How did you become like this?"

Xiao He turned his head away from Ji Yanli and shrank back.

At this moment, the voice in my head became stronger.

Eat the monk!

eat them!

The sound was like a spell, becoming denser and louder.

Xiao He covered his head and said, "No, no."

But there was no way to get rid of the sound, so she could only bang her head hard on the ground, bang bang bang again and again.

She kept hitting him until her forehead was covered in blood, then she fell to the ground weakly.

"My benefactor... Xiaohe doesn't want to eat..."

Xiaohe shook her head while crying.

Ji Yanli's face had always been bad, and when he heard this, he wanted to go forward to check. Xiao He shrank, his whole body trembled, and he took a step forward, and Ji Yanli stopped.

Gu Lan grabbed Ji Yanli at the right time and shook his head slightly.

"She doesn't seem to want to see you. I'll go."

"Be careful." Ji Yanli warned.

"rest assured."

Gu Lan walked forward gently and her eyes fell on Xiaohe.

Her entire body was covered in scars, and as she breathed softly, her body shook in agony.

Gu Lan took a step closer and said cautiously, "Hello, Xiao He, I'm Ji Yanli's friend. My name is Gu Lan. We won't hurt you. Don't be afraid."

Xiao He turned her head to look at Gu Lan, her green vertical pupils trembling in her eye sockets, her lips trembling violently, and then she bit her lips tightly, her sharp fangs inserted into her thick lips, and blood flowed down the corners of her mouth again.

Xiaohe's face was covered in blood and he looked ferocious, like a wounded cub, exuding a dangerous aura.

"Senior Sister..." Xu Fengxi and Xue Hao were a little nervous. Although they were standing farther away, when they saw their senior sister squatting down, they couldn't help but imitate her, stretching out their hands and squatting down.

It seems that this would reduce the threat to senior sister.

Gu Lan waved his hands behind him, meaning it didn't matter.

The two junior brothers shut up and looked nervously at Xiao He lying on the ground.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Gu Lan tried to smile at her to ease Xiaohe's fear, but she was not sure about Xiaohe's situation at the moment and was still very defensive, so her smile looked a little ugly.

The voice in her head became stronger again. Xiao He's vision became a little blurry. Her whole body felt hot, and her head also started to feel hot.

Seeing a shadow getting closer and closer, Xiao He's breathing became rapid.

Gu Lan moved closer.

"careful!"

I don't know who shouted.

Gu Lan only felt her waist tighten, and her body flew up.
