Li Xuan followed the view of the beautiful warrior and looked downwards. At this moment, Li Xuan suddenly realized that the beautiful warrior in the portrait had moved.
Yes, the beautiful warrior strangely turned her head towards Li Xuan and looked at him.
In an instant, astrange feeling of horror surged into Li Xuan’s heart. A cold chill rose from his back and went from his tailbone to the top of his head.
“Purification!”
An even more intense purifying power flashed. Circles of holy light energy wrapped around Li Xuan, protecting him like a ball of holy light.
Li Xuan, who was in the holy light, was not at ease. He continued to crazily release his various skills, wanting to eliminate this strange feeling of terror.
As he released his skills one by one, the feeling of terror did not disappear in the slightest. Instead, it became even stranger.
Tu-tump! Tu-tump!
The sound of heartbeats could be heard. Li Xuan’s eyes were fixed on the beautiful warrior in the portrait. He slowly moved back, step by step, trying to stay away from the portrait and the stone tablet.
Suddenly, the beautiful warrior in the portrait turned her head. Her pitch-black eyes were locked with Li Xuan’s.
It was unknown when red blood had flowed out from the beautiful warrior’s eyes. It flowed down her cheeks bit by bit. The place where the blood flowed was a bloody trail. It looked unusually ferocious and terrifying.
A faint smell of blood lingered in the air. Li Xuan and the beautiful warrior looked at each other. He looked at the beautiful warrior’s pitch-black eyes and the blood on her cheeks that was getting redder and redder.
Li Xuan only felt his scalp go numb. It was abnormally horrifying. He wanted to look away, but he could not do so no matter how hard he tried.
Boom!
The muffled sound of an explosion reverberated in the air. Li Xuan felt that he was in a state of warmth. However, this warmth was too intense. He felt as if he was being burned by fire. His skin was in pain.
Amidst the pain and burning sensation, the scene in front of Li Xuan’s eyes moved slightly. After he blinked, he suddenly realized that he was in flames, and his skin was burning red.
“What’s going on? Why am I in the flames?”
Li Xuan’s consciousness recovered. He was somewhat at a loss, but he muttered slowly.
“Li Xuan, you’re finally awake. What’s wrong with you? You’ve been standing here for so long without moving. I’ve called you for a long time, but it’s no use.
“Later, your facial features were filled with blood. I burned you with a flame, and you finally woke up.”
A familiar voice sounded. It was the little hedgehog’s voice. Li Xuan shook his somewhat dazed head and looked to the side. Sure enough, he saw the little hedgehog standing there nervously.
Li Xuan shook his head. He observed himself from God’s Perspective and found that blood was flowing out of his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. He had no idea when it was flowing out.
He raised his hand to wipe away the blood that was flowing out of his facial features. Li Xuan glanced at the position of the stone tablet out of the corner of his eye and suddenly realized that the stone tablet had disappeared.
Li Xuan’s heart tightened. He carefully looked at the ground below the stone tablet and found that there were lush weeds growing on the ground. There was not a single trace of them being pressed down. It was as if the stone tablet had never appeared.
This scene made Li Xuan suck in a breath of cold air. He could not help but ask, “Little hedgehog, how long have I been standing there?”
“It’s been a long time. You said you wanted to go back and change your class, but in the end, you didn’t leave. It’s very strange that you’ve been standing there.” The little hedgehog looked at Li Xuan with puzzlement.
“You didn’t leave? Didn’t I go out just now? Didn’t go to the entrance of the valley?” Li Xuan was shocked. He even stopped wiping away the blood.
“No, you’ve been standing here the whole time. Your expression was very strange. Later, blood flowed out of your facial features, and there was an aura of death on your body…”
“I was worried that something might have happened to you, so I hurriedly burned you with a big fireball to wake you up,” the little hedgehog said solemnly.
“So it’s like this!”
Li Xuan could not help but be alarmed. Previously, when he went out, he saw a beautiful female warrior in the Blue Wood Forest. However, the little hedgehog actually said that he had never left the valley.
The main point was that when he was affected by the stone tablet’s portrait, he released the Purification Skill and released many skills to save himself.
However, it seemed that he had never released the skills at all. This was a little scary. The more Li Xuan thought about it, the more scared he became.
He carefully checked himself and found that other than his facial features bleeding, there was nothing unusual. However, his expression changed.
It was because he saw that there were age spots on his hands. Normally, only old people would have age spots.
“How can there be age spots? I haven’t even been a Little Hero for even a year. According to my calculations, this body has at least a hundred years left to live. How can there be age spots?”
Li Xuan felt that things were getting more and more troublesome. He felt that the atmosphere was getting more and more strange. He had a vague feeling that the strange portrait would appear again.
“Little hedgehog, help me out. Protect me from here and head to Nancy’s territory. If I encounter any unusual situations again, you must think of a way to wake me up. Do you understand?” Li Xuan said seriously.
“Okay, what exactly happened? This is the first time I’ve seen you in such a situation,” the little hedgehog could not help but ask.
“Let’s not talk about it for now. In short, this place isn’t safe. Let’s leave this place first. After I change my class, I won’t have to worry anymore. Even if I die, I’ll be fine.”
Li Xuan said solemnly. He did not want to talk about what happened because he was worried that if he brought up what happened, it would cause another disaster.
According to what he knew from his previous life, there were some strange existences. The moment it was mentioned, it might attract the attention of some strange existences.
“Alright, let’s go.”
“Let’s go.”
The human and hedgehog left in a hurry. Amidst their worry and solemnity, they quickly ran toward the entrance of the valley.
However, as they ran, Li Xuan suddenly realized that he was actually running into the valley. Li Xuan even saw the stone tablet standing on the grass again.
The main point was that the portrait of the woman on the stone tablet had become larger, occupying more of the stone tablet. It was about a third of the stone tablet, and the woman in the portrait had become clearly visible.
Li Xuan was very far away from the stone tablet, but he could clearly see the pair of strange, pitch-black eyes staring at him on the stone tablet.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Rolling flames rose, and an intense burning sensation surged into Li Xuan’s heart. He found that his skin was being burned, and it was drying up and burning.
The scene before his eyes changed again. Li Xuan was startled awake again and found himself in the flames again. The intense flames had already burned his body.
Li Xuan turned his head to the side and found the little hedgehog looking at him worriedly. They were still two-thirds of the way to the entrance of the valley.
Li Xuan did not have any intention of blaming the little hedgehog. Instead, he said gratefully, “Let’s run out of the valley. I have a feeling that we will be safe once we run out of the valley.”
As Li Xuan spoke, he continued running with the little hedgehog. However, the more they ran, the slower their speed became. It was as if someone was pulling them from behind.
Suddenly, Li Xuan realized that he could not move. His legs were directly bound by something and he could not move at all.
Out of the corner of his eye, Li Xuan noticed that his legs were being held tightly by two slender little hands and were being pulled backward.
The horror became more and more intense. Li Xuan felt that his shoulder was patted by someone, and a faint breath of hot air brushed past his neck.
As the hot air brushed past, the age spots on Li Xuan’s body grew more and more, and the decaying aura became more and more intense. He could not even use all of his skills.
“Take me away, quickly!”
Li Xuan felt that the situation was getting worse. He hurriedly shouted at the little hedgehog beside him, urging it to take him away.
“Okay!”
The little hedgehog’s body suddenly expanded to the size of an armored car. Then, the little hedgehog hugged Li Xuan’s body and rushed toward the entrance of the valley with all its strength.
