Blue Star

"Gu Li...Gu, Li..." Iris' voice was hoarse, and he pulled Gu Li's arm with difficulty.

"Thirsty?" Gu Li didn't sleep deeply, opened his eyes tiredly and subconsciously touched the kettle.But soon, he discovered that Iris called him not to drink water, but because there were fewer people in the team.

He was completely awake, shaking the snoring Dao Porling and asked, "What about the two children? Aren't they both sleeping next to you?"

Dao Porling didn't get enough sleep, his eyes were bloodshot, he looked around half asleep, and said casually, "It's convenient to go out."

Gu Li let go of the porphyrin, walked to the entrance of the cave and looked down.There was no one in the bushes, and there were only a few shoe prints on the muddy ground leading to the Third Goddess Column, and a path that had obviously been opened.

Dao Porling had a headache seeing it, and the two children obviously acted behind their backs, "It's over, it's over, something must happen."

Gu Li glanced at the nautical pocket watch stuffed in Iris's clothes, it was about four hours since he fell asleep.It was still dark outside the cave, and for four hours, the two children showed no signs of returning.

"You wait for me here, I will go find someone."

"Don't you." Dao Porling didn't have time to stop him, and saw Gu Li leaning on the hole with his hands and jumping down neatly.I couldn't control the mermaid in the cave in a hurry, so I hugged the floating tree trunk and sank to a place one meter above the ground and jumped off.

"The place they went to is very dangerous. After such a long time, they will come back early. Are you going to collect their corpses or bury them with them?" I have to take care of it.

Gu Li comforted: "Help me look at Iris, I'll go over and have a look, if I can't save me, I will give up."

"No!" Dao Porphy grabbed Gu Li's arm deadly, "If something happens to you, I won't live anymore! Anyway, living to this age is considered a long life."

"Don't be silly..."

"Elder Gu Li!!"

The dispute between the two was interrupted by Mimir in the bushes in the distance. After a while, Mimir was seen running towards them rolling and crawling.

There were large bruises on his cheeks and arms, two pieces of his trouser legs were scratched, and his face was pale with drops of water dripping all over his body.There was no monster chasing behind him, but his sprinting appearance was more anxious than being chased by a monster.

The soles of the shoes slipped in the mud, and when he was about to get close to Gu Li, he had no time to "brake", and fell directly into Gu Li's arms, crying.

His breath was short of breath, his voice was out of tune, and he held Gu Li tightly with both hands for a long time before he could finish his sentence.

"Where's Xijia?" Gu Li asked in a cold tone.

"In the cave, she's still in the cave!" Mimir gasped for breath, "She told me to go first, but I ran all the way and didn't see her follow. Bugs, there are bugs in the Goddess Pillar! They..."

There was movement again from the tall bushes behind Mimir. Gu Li quickly pulled Mimir behind him, opened the magnetic field and raised the modified crossbow gun.

The blades with a diameter of half a meter swayed back and forth, following the opened path from far to near.But the moment Gu Li was about to pull the mechanism, Xijia struggled to push through the bushes and came out.

"...It's me." Xijia's skin all over her body became extremely pale, only her lips were red and purple, "I was not bitten or infected."

She took out the herbs that she had picked desperately from her clothes, and said wearily: "It can cure Iris, and the herbs can cure the worm infection."

Mimier wanted to go forward, but Daoporing grabbed her back by the collar, "Don't go, she's infected."

Xijia looked aggrieved, looked at Gu Li's intensified defensive magnetic field, and suddenly said loudly: "I'm not infected!" There was still leftover plant juice in the corner of her mouth, "I've already taken herbal medicine, and I'll be fine soon of!"

Fearing that some people would not believe it, he hurriedly untied the animal fur clothing that bound his arms, revealing a scalded wound that had scabbed over, "Look, I wasn't bitten! The wound is already healed. I was just burned a bit, my wound Not as heavy as Iris."

While speaking, her tone of voice suddenly changed.A dark red branch quickly grew outward from the back of the neck, pushing away the shattered hair that covered it, and quickly bulged a few scorching sarcomas on the top of the branch.

Xijia's body was stiff, her eyes were terrified, and her hands trembled in disbelief to touch the branch.She didn't feel hot, and even felt the comfort of being released after being suppressed for a long time.The spine is bulging, and it seems that there are more branches waiting to burst out.

"No, it's impossible..."

"Iris is a mermaid, you are different." Dao Porling felt sorry for Xijia, and said with a sad face: "Even if the mermaid is infected, he will not lose his mind. His genes can cover the infected body."

"I haven't lost my mind either, and I won't lose my mind after taking herbs now." Xijia rushed forward, but screamed in pain when she touched the defensive magnetic field.

Those hot worms can ignore the wizard's defensive magnetic field, why does she feel pain?Is it the thing in the pillar, an infestation of the thing in that pillar?

She looked at Gu Li pointing at the crossbow gun on his forehead in fear, stepped back and cried: "Really, I am not infected, don't kill me, herbs can cure the infection. You said it, you said I am also Cole Qi's offspring, my talent can sense the magnetic field of plants! You believe me, it can be cured..."

She handed over the herbal medicine in her hand again, "If you don't believe me, let Iris try it, you put it on the burnt wound!" Seeing that Gu Li didn't answer, she was almost desperate, "I'm also a wizard, don't I?" Mimir, please help me explain to the wizard that I was not bitten and I was not injured in the cave, please help me prove it!"

Mimir clenched his fists and dared not make a sound. He wanted to defend Xijia, but he couldn't lie about the infection.He saw the damn thing bite Xi Jia, the moment Xi Jia pushed him out of the hole.

Xijia's mood became irritable, which was in sharp contrast to the gentleness of the past, "Why don't you speak! I helped you block the danger, it was me! Why are you looking at me like this? I'm not a monster, I Not infected!" She tightened the herb in her hand, "I went to the cave to save Iris, and I took the risk for you! You can't kill me, I didn't do anything wrong and it doesn't hurt Extraordinary..."

She looked at Gu Li angrily and resentfully, "My family, my grandma and my friends, they all died because of your indifference! Are you going to give up on me now? Iris is also infected , Even if he was about to die, you didn't give up on him..."

She collapsed and knelt on the ground, "Kill me, why not when I left the tribe, why not when I wanted to die. It was you, the wizard, who gave me the hope of living, and you told me not to give up living... I am now Want to live because of you I want to live. I just want to live... Am I wrong? Wizard, tell me..."

"You are not infected." Gu Li's sudden voice stunned everyone present, "You just accepted the test of Goddess Darcy, as long as you pass the test, you can reach the road to the temple."

"Gu Li." Dao Porling called him in a low voice, but couldn't bear to interrupt.

Mi Mi MiEr seemed to have a sense, he seemed to know Gu Li's intentions, and suddenly broke away from Dao Porling's hand and stretched out his hand to block Xi Jia.

"We can feel the water, and we can feel the magnetic fields of the plants. Can't we wait, maybe 10 minutes, no, 10 minutes or two hours, and the infection will be cured, just like our inhibition crystal mine ! Didn’t it also save a lot of people?”

Daoporin sighed, restraining the crystal mine never cured anyone.Delaying the symptoms of infection is just a false hope for people.

Gu Li lowered the firing port of the crossbow gun with half-cast eyebrows, his index finger on the gate loosened and tightened hesitantly.

A teenager was full of kindness towards them from the first moment he saw them.Bandaging their wounds, looking for herbs for them, feeling guilty because of the injuries of their teammates, afraid of becoming a burden, and training hard every day, even if they are exhausted.

The child wanted to live and told him with all her might that she wanted to live.Even though his body is in pain and is about to tear apart, he still wants to live in this world as a human being.

He put away the defensive magnetic field around him, ignored Mimir's pleading and walked in front of Xijia, and stroked the top of Xijia's head with the most gentle gesture.

He said: "Goddess Darcy told me that he will take you to a place where there is no pain. Your grandmother and the kind people in the tribe will wait for you in the temple."

Xijia looked at him slowly from hatred to anticipation, "Goddess Darcy..."

"Your grandma didn't lie to you. The fairy tales she told are true. Wizards can heal diseases and resurrect dead humans. When you close your eyes, those beautiful stories will come true."

Tears fell from Xijia's eyes, she closed her eyes slowly, and smiled: "...I believe in you, wizard."

Gu Li pulled the switch calmly, he thought he understood the meaning of the patriarch's declaration.In this world, no one accepts death meekly.

A gunshot echoed mercilessly in the canyon.
