I was reincarnated as a single school beauty

Chapter 16 Blood Tree and Old Friends

With the previous unusual situation, Yun Xi and others became more and more cautious in their next actions.

They moved along the bloody river, aiming for the towering blood tree that was taller than the Spirit Chasing Tower.

There are footprints.

Not long after walking, Li Zixiao suddenly said calmly.

Yun Xi followed her gaze and found a few faint footprints by the river.

She looked at the footprints and compared them with her own feet: They should be male.

As she said that, she stepped on the side normally again. The sole of her foot sank a little, and the footprints were particularly obvious.

By comparing the two footprints, one can deduce that the owner of these footprints must have been here some time ago.

Yun Xi said: There should be more than one person, and they came much earlier than us. Please pay attention to the surroundings.

She finished speaking and took the lead.

Her eyes fell on those flowers on the other side of the river. The beautiful black and white flowers by the river were tightly closed, and their budding look was particularly attractive. People couldn't help but wonder what kind of beauty it would be like after the flowers bloomed.

What kind of person is actually capable of closing all the flowers in the city?

Yun Xi's eyebrows were furrowed, full of worry about the unknown.

They continued to move forward, and the scenery around them remained unchanged. Rivers, flowers, mounds, blood trees... If it weren't for the white bones and the towering blood trees that grew taller and stronger, Yun Xi would even suspect that the four of them were... Not going around in circles.

Yunxi, there are so many bones.

Ying Nianling also saw the skeletons of the four people and moved closer to Yun Xi.

Yun Xi held her little hand and comforted her: It's okay, I'm here.

She rarely sees dead people, but the strange thing is that she doesn't seem to be afraid of death, maybe because she has actually experienced death, or maybe because of another hidden personality she has.

Holding Xiao Ying in hand, Yun Xi's eyes continued to sweep across the wasteland. Suddenly, her eyes condensed and her steps slowed down.

Li Zixiao and others also slowed down and looked in the direction of Yun Xi's eyes.

It was a mound. The mangroves on the mound were smaller than the ones they had seen along the way, and the luster on their leaves was also dimmer. They looked a little out of place with the surroundings.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the ground next to the mangroves. The land there is churned, as if it has been cleared, and it is a mess.

Yun Xi approached there and saw broken vine roots on the churned ground.

This should be the means by which these mangroves launch an attack. These trees are alive and someone provoked them before, and a fight ensued.

Yun Xi made a guess, but Li Zixiao and Xia Qingyao were noncommittal.

Just because they don't like to talk doesn't mean they aren't smart.

Yun Xi knelt down and turned over the land with his hands, not wanting to be too dirty.

The soil was harder than expected, but there was no spiritual power left, which meant that at least half a month had passed since the battle.

This is Desolate City. If something strange happened elsewhere, it shouldn’t have taken so long for the Tianling Alliance to notice it.

Silver light flashed past, Yun Xi's eyes suddenly condensed, and his movements stopped.

She stared intently at a section of vine roots under the soil, and quickly peeled away the soil on both sides. As the vine roots were completely revealed, the thing wrapped around the vine roots also appeared in front of Yun Xi's eyes.

It was an extremely thin silver thread.

This silver wire is very beautiful. Even if it is buried in the soil, it still glows with beautiful luster. I don't know what metal it is made of.

Of course, the reason why Yun Xi was attracted to this silver thread was not because of how beautiful it was, but because...she had seen this silver thread before.

Yun Xi ran her fingers over the storage ring, a flash of light flashed, and a beautiful string of silver threads appeared in her hand.

She picked up the vine roots in the ground and compared the silver threads on them with the silver threads in her hands.

It's them……

Yun Xi remembered a past event, but she forgot the other person's name.

She put away the silver thread, stood up, and said to her three companions: Speed ​​up.

The four of them took steps and continued to move towards the towering tree.

Even if they couldn't fly, as spirits, they were much faster than ordinary people, and they could easily cross a distance of dozens of miles in just ten minutes.

A huge shadow covered the sky, and Yun Xi and the others came under the big tree.

Only when you get really close to this place can you understand how big this tree is.

Yun Xi raised her head, the lush leaves covered everything, and there was nothing else in her sight except this tree.

What are those flowers?

She saw that in addition to the lush branches and leaves, there were bright red flowers on the tree. Those flowers looked very similar to the flowers on both sides of the Red River, but the color was as bright as blood, and they...were in full bloom.

The petals unfolded one after another, and the slender stamens outlined a beautiful arc. Its beauty exceeded Yun Xi's imagination.

so beautiful……

Ying Nianling looked at these flowers infatuatedly, her crimson eyes reflected these bright reds, and she couldn't help but admire them.

Even she was fascinated by the flowers.

Yun Xi looked at her three companions, and they all had similar reactions.

Stop looking and look for anything strange nearby.

Yun Xi reminded him, taking the initiative to look away and began to search the surrounding area.

The three of them came to their senses immediately and searched around.

Like its crown, the trunk of this blood tree was also exceptionally wide and strong. Yunxi and the others searched in circles along the trunk, looking for clues.

Um?

At a certain moment, Yun Xi made a confused sound and moved closer to the tree.

Except for the flowers and leaves, all other parts of this tree are gray and white, which is the main color of the city.

Under such pure gray and white, the black and red color on the tree trunk is particularly obvious.

Yun Xi tapped her toes, stepped on the tree trunk and jumped up, standing upright on the tree trunk.

She lowered her head and looked carefully at the out-of-place black and red lump.

'Blood? ’

She reached out and touched it gently, but the blood had dried.

Yun Xi looked up at the lush tree trunks above her head.

'Someone climbed this tree? ’

You guys continue checking down below, and I'll go up and take a look.

Yun Xi said to her friends, tapped her toes, and disappeared from everyone's sight amid the rustling of leaves.

Coming to the tree, Yun Xi was surrounded by blood-colored leaves and flowers. The frightening color of blood made Yun Xi's face look pale.

Her spiritual veins flickered, ready to release her spiritual power.

Yun Xi glanced around quickly, and sure enough, on the branch nearby, she saw black and red blood stains again, and this time the spots were more densely packed.

'On top. ’

Yun Xi grabbed the tree trunk with her hands, and her figure flashed quickly among the branches, reaching deeper in the blink of an eye.

Finally, she stopped and saw the white bones in front of her.

This is a complete corpse, and Yun Xi can even see his behavior before death.

The corpse sat among the branches of the blood tree, stretching out his hands, with a red Bianhua flower hanging between his palms.

This flower was peeled off from the branches. The petals had lost their bright red color and had a withered color. The stamens hung down weakly. It went to death with this person.

Yun Xi's eyes fell on the neck of the corpse, where a red rope hung, and under the red rope was an iron pendant.

She reached out and took off the pendant. She touched the piece of iron and found that it was a small iron box that could be opened.

Opening the iron box, a small mini photo came into view, and Yun Xi fell into silence.

This is a common type of pendant for Tianling. It is not unusual to hide photos in the pendant.

The reason why Yun Xi had this reaction was because of the people in the photo.

She didn't recognize the man in the photo, but she was pretty sure this woman was Zhang Ting.

Yun Xi looked at the photo for a long time without saying anything, then took hold of the pendant and closed it.

She looked at the corpse with respect in her eyes.

So you are Yuan Huan.

Putting away the pendant, Yun Xi prepared to put Yuan Huan's bones into the storage ring.

No matter what, at least let him go back intact.

She ran her fingers between her fingers, and a flash of light flashed on the storage ring.

Suddenly, Yun Xi raised his eyebrows and thought of a question.

‘The people in Guyuan Village said that Yuan Huan disappeared a month ago. With normal people’s walking distance, it would take at least half a month to get from Guyuan Village to Desolate City. And from the gate of the deserted city to here, it takes two or three days to cover dozens of miles. ’

‘Considering that Yuan Huan still has a large amount of food on hand, he should spend more time. In other words, he should have only died a few days ago. In just a few days...how could the body have changed to this state? ’

As soon as this question came up, Yun Xi immediately realized something was wrong.

Susu...

The sound echoed in her ears, extremely soft, but so clear, and Yun Xi's heart skipped a beat.

Without any hesitation, Yun Xi displayed his spiritual power and flashed forward.

call out!

There was a sharp sound, and several bright red thin lines tore apart Yun Xi's afterimage.

Yun Xi, who dodged in time, turned around and looked in her original direction, where a few bright red thin lines were gently swaying, revealing a different kind of beauty.

The source of the thin thread is in the flower. It is not a thread, but the stamen of the other side flower.

Yun Xi looked around with a solemn expression. The Bianhua flowers among the branches gradually gave off a red shimmer, and the stamens protruded from the center of the flowers, like slender long snakes, swimming slowly towards Yun Xi.

Yun Xi's hair stood on end and she felt a great crisis.

Without saying a word, she jumped directly towards the ground.

The Bianhua flowers underfoot stretched out their stamens, and the thin red threads intertwined, trying to prevent Yun Xi from leaving.

Yun Xi flicked her slender jade finger, and the Frost Sword jumped out of her hand. Light blue spiritual power flowed out, and gurgling water appeared.

Three Thousand Weak Waters·Life is flowing!

The stream meanders and falls in one fell swoop!

Without making any sound, these slender flower stamens were cut off by the stream and fell one after another. Yun Xi broke through the spider web-like encirclement and fell to the ground.

As soon as they landed, Li Zixiao and the others rushed over quickly.

What's wrong?

Xia Qingyao asked, holding the knife. They all felt the strange movement just now.

Yun Xi looked up at the tree crown above her head. The leaves were rustling, but there were no flower stamens coming towards her through these leaves.

Everything looked so peaceful.

‘It’s all an illusion. ’

Yun Xi was still frightened and said, There is something wrong with this tree. Don't get close to those flowers.

The three of them nodded, and anyone could tell that something was unusual here.

After being vigilant again for a moment, and making sure that Huarui would not attack the people on the ground, Yun Xi put down half of her mental arithmetic, but did not take back the sword in her hand.

Yun Xi asked: Did you find anything?

Xia Qingyao said: There is a hole.

The three of them led Yun Xi to the other side of the blood tree without any ink. Not long after, Yun Xi saw a very obvious tree hole.

The tree hole is about two meters high and wide enough for two people to enter. The hole is dark, but a winding downward road can be vaguely seen.

There are strange marks carved on both sides of the tree hole. The marks emit light regularly, and a transparent wall merges with the tree hole.

This is a formation.

Yun Xi wrapped herself in spiritual power and reached out to touch the formation.

Bang!

A powerful force came out, shaking her palm away.

The peak of the first spirit...

Yun Xi immediately noticed the strength of this formation.

Obviously, this formation was arranged by those who sneaked into the city. The strength of the formation was probably at the peak of the First Spirit. This showed that their guess was correct. The strength of those who sneaked into the city did not exceed the First Spirit.

Can it be broken open? Xiaoying.

Yun Xi is not good at this aspect of formation. Among them, only Ying Nian Ling is capable of breaking this formation.

Ying Nianling bit off the lollipop in her mouth: Look at me!

She walked to the tree hole, her breath calm, and after a second, her slender fingers began to dance.

Ying Nianling's fingers danced extremely fast, countless afterimages flashed by, and a cyan talisman appeared in the interweaving light.

Ever since she discovered her shortcomings in breaking formations in the Tianling Awards last year, Ying Nianling began to work hard to improve herself.

Her formation-breaking talisman is now much more powerful than before.

The cyan sigil condensed and moved toward the transparent wall, slowly blending in.

The talisman flickered, like ripples on the water, and the blue ripples spread out in all directions.

One second...two seconds...three seconds...

Bo!

With a soft sound, the marks on both sides of the tree hole dimmed, and the door disappeared.

opened!

Ying Nianling said to Yun Xi as if she was taking credit.

Yun Xi smiled and rubbed her head, praising: Xiaoying has become stronger again.

hey-hey!

Ying Nianling stood on tiptoes and rubbed her palms.

Let's go, be careful.

After the formation is broken, the natural next step is to enter the tree hole.

Yun Xi chose to walk at the front without hesitation and took the lead towards the tree cave.

Ying Nianling followed Yun Xi, her fingers dancing silently, the talisman light flickering, turning into a blue bird, flying deeper.

Her sigils are ever-changing, even when exploring caves.

This was not the first time Yun Xi saw Ying Nian Ling's tricks. She took out a flashlight and illuminated the road ahead.

Going all the way down the winding tunnel, Yun Xi saw a little light in front of him after a while, and it seemed that he had reached the exit.

She was about to walk over, but someone grabbed her by the corner of her clothes.

Yun Xi turned around and looked at Ying Nianling: What's wrong, Xiaoying?

Ying Nianling said: The talisman has been destroyed. There is someone in front.

Is it strong?

Yun Xi asked.

Ying Nianling tilted her head and thought for a while, then shook her head: I'm stronger!

Yun Xi couldn't help but smile: That'll be fine.

She walked forward, and when she completely stepped out of the tunnel, bright red light shone from the front, and several figures stood under the red light.

I thought you would come later, but I didn't expect you to move very quickly. Yun Xi, long time no see!

A strange yet slightly familiar voice sounded, and Yun Xi recalled that person's name.

She looked between those figures, looked at the only human being, and said:

I remember you, your name is Qingyan.
