Chapter 416 Star Ci (Extra 2)
A long time passed like this, and Xing Ci felt that he had not visited He Jiaojiao for a long time.
He felt a little happy, as if he had really let it go.
During this period, he accidentally discovered a forest, which was called the Death Forest by those who knew it.
Generally speaking, orcs below eight stars have almost no chance of leaving alive after mistakenly entering.
Because the beasts inside are more powerful and ferocious than ordinary ones. Not only that, in addition to the ferocious beasts, there are also some evil beasts that are not often seen in the outside world.
In the past, those evil beasts were the kings of this forest. They would often kill the orcs who accidentally entered and then steal the beast crystals from them.
Of course, this was all before Xingci came here.
Now, Xingci is the boss of this forest!
Those evil beasts that make sense are still alive, while those that don’t make sense have become fertilizer for the forest.
After entering the forest, hunting a few ferocious beasts and obtaining the beast crystals, he was about to leave when he suddenly heard He Jiaojiao's voice.
Although he didn't see the person, the voice appeared in his dreams countless times and there was no way he heard it wrong.
He ran towards the sound as if possessed by a ghost, and sure enough, he saw the face that had been haunting him.
Just looking at the posture, He Jiaojiao seemed to want to enter the Forest of Death.
Although the companions around He Jiaojiao are quite capable, in the Death Forest, such abilities are only enough to protect themselves, but it is really unrealistic to want to protect the females and cubs.
Originally, Xing Ci wanted to pretend that he saw nothing and leave.
But for some reason, seeing He Jiaojiao and the others getting closer and closer to the forest, he followed them uncontrollably.
Although Xing Ci knew that there was no possibility for him and He Jiaojiao, he still couldn't turn a blind eye. So he used his mental power to prevent them from seeing his true face and then appeared in front of them in a strange appearance.
But he didn't expect that before he could say anything, Mo Ran and Zi Yi attacked him directly. He had no choice but to fight back.
Their fight successfully woke up He Jiaojiao. The moment He Jiaojiao saw him and their eyes met, Xing Ci felt his heart uncontrollably accelerating. Mo Ran seized this opportunity to give himself a fatal blow.
Although Xing Ci is very powerful now, he does not intend to reveal his strength, so he pretends to be defeated and falls down dying.
"Don't go any further..."
Anyway, it was just to stop them from entering the woods. Xing Ci didn't know how to talk to He Jiaojiao calmly, so he simply pretended to be seriously injured and then pretended to faint.
He thought that since he had said so, He Jiaojiao and the others would not enter the forest at least until he woke up, but he didn't expect that they would actually carry him into the forest.
God knows how much Xing Ci regretted pretending to be weak at this moment. But on the other hand, he was secretly happy because he could feel He Jiaojiao up close.
He was so close that he could even smell He Jiaojiao's scent in the air. He greedily felt it and was reluctant to open his eyes.
But seeing that they were going deeper and deeper, he had no choice but to quietly use his ability to set up a barrier to trap them.
This way, they won't be able to go deep into the forest and won't be in danger.
Moreover, his barrier also protected them very well.
When it was dark, Xing Ci pretended to wake up and told them about the strangeness of the forest.
But unexpectedly, this aroused the suspicion of He Jiaojiao and Mo Ran.
Even though his appearance and name had changed, Xing Ci still felt as if he was recognized.
At that time, he was both afraid and expectant. He was afraid that after being recognized, He Jiaojiao would try to kill him again. But he also hoped that He Jiaojiao would let him go, so that at least he could prove that she remembered him.
Unfortunately, He Jiaojiao did not recognize him as Xing Ci.
But as they couldn't get out of the forest, everyone gradually lost their patience.
Xing Ci was naturally not in a hurry. He sat quietly by the side and observed He Jiaojiao and her friends.
But unexpectedly, He Jiaojiao suddenly became suspicious of his identity.
Of course, she didn't guess her identity, but she suspected that it was his fault that she couldn't get out of the forest.
To this end, He Jiaojiao designed to tear off the animal skin wrapped around his arm. Fortunately, he was prepared in advance and was able to cover it up.
However, Xing Ci forgot that He Jiaojiao was the smartest female he had ever met.
Even though the facts were right in front of her, she still had doubts.
So, Xing Ci thought about it and simply admitted that he did have other intentions towards He Jiaojiao. After all, it would be hard for a male not to be moved when seeing someone like He Jiaojiao!
What he didn't expect was that he would provoke Mo Ran and He Jiaojiao and all his friends to attack him.
He could have handled it easily, but he found that He Jiaojiao was staring at him.
Just when he was distracted by looking at He Jiaojiao, Mo Ran and the others found his weakness, thus exposing his strength.
In desperation, he had to admit that he was a ten-star orc.
But unexpectedly, He Jiaojiao suddenly guessed his identity.
Although he didn't know how He Jiaojiao recognized him, his heart couldn't help but beat faster when he heard her call his name.
Xing Ci knew that he could never forget He Jiaojiao, and his heart would always beat for He Jiaojiao.
Since Xing Ci was recognized, he no longer planned to hide his identity and simply admitted it.
I thought He Jiaojiao would fight with me like before, but unexpectedly, He Jiaojiao's eyes suddenly turned red, and she even took out a red crystal.
Xing Ci recognized at a glance that the red crystal was the one he had carried with him before, and it was stained with his blood.
After hearing what He Jiaojiao said, I realized that she actually mistakenly thought that it was her own beast crystal.
"So Jiaojiao has been back there, right?"
Xing Ci didn’t know why he asked this, perhaps he still had some hope for He Jiaojiao!
But unexpectedly, He Jiaojiao admitted it and said that she regretted being too impulsive at the time!
"Then are you still willing to accept me?"
Xing Ci asked almost uncontrollably.
After realizing what was happening, Xing Ci smiled bitterly and felt that he was simply bringing shame upon himself.
But unexpectedly, He Jiaojiao did not refuse.
"I need some time to think..."
Hearing that He Jiaojiao did not directly refuse, Xing Ci nodded hurriedly.
"Okay, I'll give you enough time to think about it."
As long as it's not a rejection, it means he still has a chance, and that's enough.
After the barrier was lifted, He Jiaojiao invited Xing Ci to go to the Silver Wolf Tribe together. Only then did Xing Ci know that they left Wanshou City because divination predicted that something would happen to the Silver Wolf Tribe, and they wanted to go and help.
In this case, he, a ten-star orc, naturally has to go along. After all, he also wants to protect Jiaojiao!
