Chapter 11 The Little Tree in the Cold Pond
Bailian didn’t know why, when he was wandering on the edge of life and death, he didn’t feel so afraid.
Think about it, after sleeping for two hundred years and being wrapped in the breath of death for two hundred years, how could he be afraid of death.
He stood up with difficulty, put away his small sword, and patted away the dark corpse ashes on his body. His expression suddenly froze, and his eyes were blank for more than three breaths.
He suddenly covered his heart with his right hand, his face frightened, as if he was afraid of missing something.
It's not an illusion...
Just now... his withered heart actually beat a beat when he stood up!
You can’t go wrong!
There was a cold feeling under his chest. It had been quiet for too many years. It was impossible for him to perceive the sudden movement by mistake.
After a period of despair, new hope slowly sprouted under the irrigation.
Her eyes were dry and dry, and Bai Lian thought that if she could shed tears at this moment, her tears would have been like a river bursting its banks.
What is dawn? It is a ray of light that suddenly floats down from above the head when one is once desperate and trapped in the abyss of endless darkness.
Even though the light is very weak, as thin as silk, it is extremely dazzling in the cold abyss.
Even though the light is very far away and may burn you, it does not affect the longing in your heart at all.
Bailian thinks that even in his current situation, he has never despaired.
But he also wouldn't like the feeling of being enveloped in darkness.
Does that familiar heartbeat mean that he is one step closer to transforming into a human being?
Bailian had a happy smile on his face.
After experiencing a death threat not long ago, a man is now laughing silently in this cave. The shocking and deep dent marks on his neck add to his sad atmosphere.
"Da da da da..." The sound of hoofbeats sounded with some hesitation.
Bai Lian looked towards the entrance of the cave and saw that the deer that had left had gone and returned again, its mouth bulging and it was unknown what it was chewing.
Looking at Balian timidly, as if he was afraid that the green-haired corpse demon would suddenly jump out and attack.
Bailian felt warm in his heart and waved weakly to it: "Come here, it is no longer here."
As soon as he spoke, he realized that his voice was hoarse as if he had been beaten by countless The sound of sand grains rolling by is very unpleasant.
Bailian touched his unnaturally twisted neck. Several broken bones were inserted into his vocal tract, seriously affecting his pronunciation.
I smiled bitterly in my heart. I heard that the corpse demon's repair ability is very powerful, and I don't know if it can be repaired to its original appearance by itself.
Hearing what Balian said, the deer finally felt relieved and trotted over with its four little hooves briskly.
The deer’s honest face was swollen and swollen by the things in his mouth, which looked quite funny.
He also didn’t forget to bite Balian’s blood-stained sleeve with his thick lips, making a gurgling sound in his throat.
Although Bailian doesn't understand the language with it, he can understand the other party's meaning after getting along for a short time.
It was going to give him something.
Bailian opened his palm towards the deer, and it chewed its mouth, spitting out a ball of moist and finely chopped herbs.
The appearance of the herb was very familiar to Balian. It was the herb he was looking for not long ago to treat the injury on the deer’s butt.
He felt warm in his heart. He didn't expect that this little deer was so psychic and intelligent. He just picked the medicine once, and it actually remembered it.
The little deer looked at him in a daze holding the herbs in his palm, and couldn't help but cupped his palm anxiously, signaling him to apply medicine to his wound quickly.
Balian smiled slightly, knelt down and applied the herbs on its butt wound.
It had just been out for a while, and the original herbs on its body had already been washed away by the rain.
While applying the medicine, he lowered his eyes and said, "I am a dead person, and my body has long lost its vitality. This herb is of no use to me. Don't waste it. I'll give it to you." Xiao Lu'er seemed to say. After understanding what he said, her eyes were sad, she let out a low growl in her throat, and lay down at his feet in frustration.
After applying the medicine, Bailian looked outside the cave and at some point the light rain turned into a violent storm. The wind roared like a ghost crying and a wolf howling.
He stared at it blankly for a long time, then touched the little horn on the little deer's head and said: "Little deer, when the rain stops tomorrow, you can go back to the forest."
The little deer used its furry cheeks to He cupped his cold palms, his big round eyes full of reluctance.
Bailian's body was so weak at the moment that he simply sat on the dusty ground.
He looked at Xiaolu and smiled and said: "Although I really want to take you wandering, but I really can't. I am not a living creature and cannot live under the sun. I am afraid there will be many crises like this in the future. I don’t have the ability to protect you.”
The little deer’s bent hooves suddenly stood upright, pawing at the ground impatiently.
The thick lips began to move again. It looked like it was a little unhappy and wanted to spit.
Before he could spit out his saliva, the deer's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he felt something.
Suddenly he lowered his head and bit Bailian's robe, looking towards the depths of the cave where the green-haired corpse demon came from just now.
Bailian looked back and saw a breeze coming from deep inside the cave.
The crisp breeze carries a sweet fruit-like smell, which can't help but make people feel refreshed.
Balian got up and looked at the deer in confusion: "There... seems to be something there?"
The deer nodded, his eyes very bright.
Through the dark and long cave, the bright spots ahead shimmered and magnified. At the end of the overgrown weeds and vines, there was a naturally formed cold pool.
The Cold Pond is located very deep in the cave. According to common sense, it should be so dark that you can’t even see your fingers.
But it is extremely bright here, like daylight.
In the center of the cold pool, a small silver-white tree grew.
I can’t tell what kind of tree it is, but it is extremely beautiful.
Each leaf is as bright and silvery as a star, exuding bright light and illuminating the scene.
Bailian's expression was slightly moved, as if a village had become brighter after a dark night.
He turned his eyes slightly and took a rough look at the place.
Next to the cold pool, there is a large rectangular pit shaped like a coffin.
Obviously, this is the habitat of the green-haired corpse demon not long ago.
Bailian couldn't help but feel a little strange. According to common sense, evil ghosts like corpse demons like to live in cold, damp and dark places.
Why would this corpse demon stay in such a bright and dazzling place?
"Gululu..."
At this moment, the sound of hollow noise in the deer's belly disrupted Balian's thinking.
He looked back and suddenly burst into laughter.
I saw the little deer drooling while looking at the small silver-white tree.
The little hoof couldn't help but step on the ground back and forth, looking very excited.
For a tree to be so coveted by a deer, Balian couldn't help but become a little more interested, and took a closer look at the small tree growing in the cold pond.
