Yang Jiening was completely unable to move. For the past two days, he has been trying his best to avoid the pursuers of the Sauron Empire. But he knew it was only a matter of time before he was caught. Now he can really only survive in this woodland.

When facing Zhang Zhijie's group of people before, Yang Jiening can also be said to have fought hard. He used the wall of flames despite the unfavorable circumstances. The wall of flames stopped Zhang Zhijie's pursuit, and thus allowed Yang Jiening to gain time to escape.

But what about later?

At first, Yang Jiening was more optimistic. He had expected to get out of the woods quickly and find a larger town to resupply. But who would have thought that he would not be able to hold on to it without much time to travel.

The four people of the Sauron Empire were too strong, and Yang Jiening's physical strength had already been exhausted in the duel. Especially Zhang Zhijie among them, this person didn't remember the past master-apprentice relationship at all, and he made a death move to Yang Jiening.

His body had withstood the attacks of the four top professions, Yang Jiening was already scarred, and coupled with the fact that he had also used extremely expensive fire spells, Yang Jiening didn't seem to have much physical strength for him to squander.

Another point is that he had been very seriously injured when he was in the Sauron Empire. The large piece of witch poison in his right hand had now spread to his shoulder and collarbone, and the dozens of centimeters of knife wounds on his back had also turned into pus.

Really, Yang Jiening seemed to be exhausted, and he knew that he would not be able to get out of this forest alive.

The truth was just as he thought, even though he was forced to run for hours, when he ran to a river, he completely collapsed.

I couldn't go any further, and my body was at its limit. Helplessly, Yang Jiening fell to the ground by the river and rested. After struggling to climb for a while, he found a cave. Thinking it was a good place to take refuge, he hid inside.

This is two days. During this long evasion, he was thinking about a question, what should he do with the black covered document bag in his hand? With the current situation, he would definitely not be able to send it out. Not to mention the distant Kiyose City, he can't even go to the nearby Vortex Town.

In fact, Yang Jiening has a connection, before leaving for the Sauron Empire, he discussed with a partner in Qingse City, if he is in any danger, he will go to Vortex Town to wait for him. The two of them worked together to find a way, but now, it is estimated that Yang Jiening will never see that partner again.

I don't know where she is now?Is she waiting anxiously in Vortex Town?Yang Jiening pondered what this friend is doing now?

In the process of living in the cave, Yang Jiening has been relying on the dry food in the package to feed his stomach, but it is not a long-term solution. Eventually, the dry food will run out, and he will surely die from his injuries.

In that case, not to mention that he couldn't touch his partner in Kiyose Castle, he wouldn't even be able to send out the black covered document bag. That is, this operation of his will end in failure.

The discouraged thought spread all over the body, and Yang Jiening was desperate. Not wanting to live like this anymore, he decided to understand himself.

But just as he was putting his thoughts into action, there was a very powerful movement outside the cave. Even though his body was in a state where he couldn't bear it, he still slowly climbed outside to see what was going on.

Looking at the river, Yang Jiening saw a young boy struggling in the rushing water. The boy seemed to be on the verge of death, as he could not escape from the river at all, and could only let it run into the distance.

Yang Jiening didn't want to meddle in his own affairs, or maybe he was too busy but not enough. However, when I saw the boy using the block of the reef to stop his body. Yang Jiening was still a little compassionate.

Although Yang Jiening didn't have the strength to stand up straight at the moment, he still used the Ice Arrow. Ice arrows hit the river, freezing out long icicles in a straight line. In this way, the boy finally climbed ashore with the icicles.

Seeing that the boy was out of danger, Yang Jiening was also glad for it. But suddenly, an idea swelled in Yang Jiening's mind.

The boy crawled to the shore and began to breathe for the rest of his life. He seemed to be weak, but his fierce desire to survive just now, and his behavior of not giving up, all moved Yang Jiening.

In a split second, Yang Jiening made a bold decision. Let the boy complete the task for him. This is also the only hope, other than that, Yang Jiening could not find a better way. Moreover, in subsequent questioning, he also determined that the boy was a Saran.

Therefore, Yang Jiening pressed the treasure on the boy's body.

After Zhao Yu got the package and the 'thing' in the old man's mouth in the cave, he turned around and slowly walked out of it. He mainly looked at the 'thing', wondering why the old man was so anxious.

The so-called 'thing' is a black covered document bag. So, what's in the bag?

Although he only stayed in the cave for a short time, Zhao Yu was still blinded by the sunlight outside after he walked out. To do this, he quickly lowered his head and covered his forehead with one elbow.

"Take ...... Have you taken it?"

Hearing the old man's inquiry, Zhao Yu had to forcibly raise his head. The old man was now on his knees like soft mud, and he really felt like he was about to die.

Zhao Yu wanted to call 'old man', and then stepped forward to help him. But the thought only stayed in my mind for a short while, and then vanished. Zhao Yu's vigilance against this old man has not been completely eliminated.

Perhaps seeing that Zhao Yu already had the document in his hand, the old man suddenly sighed as if he had calmed down. He took a few breaths and stared at Zhao Yu tightly.

"Well, it's good......" The old man swallowed, but as soon as he made a swallowing motion, he coughed violently.

With that kind of decadent appearance, it is not easy for Zhao Yu to really lift the old man.

"Ahem...... cough ......" The old man seemed to be trying his best to suppress the cough in his chest, he shook his shoulders and tightened his facial features again. Now, I can be regarded as calming down.

After a few seconds, the old man looked at Zhao Yu deeply: "Now, I want to give you a very difficult task. ”

Zhao Yu was a little panicked when he heard this. 'Ahh

Without asking Zhao Yu whether he agreed or not, the old man asked a question to himself: "Child, do you know that there is a town called Vortex Town near here?"

Zhao Yu immediately straightened up. What?Vortex Town?Isn't that where he lives?Zhao Yu nodded immediately.

"Yes, I know. Actually......" he wondered if he should tell him if it was where he lived.

And the old man also seemed to see what Zhao Yu was thinking. "What's wrong?" asked casually.

"Hungry, actually ......" Zhao Yu wiped his cheeks with the back of his hand, and his eyes slanted to the lower right corner, "My family lives there." ”

"Oh, is it?" the old man laughed when he heard this. However, as soon as he looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, he was interrupted by his own coughing again, "Ahem...... Cough...... Ahem......"

Zhao Yu didn't know what the old man was laughing at, and besides, the questions he asked were also very ridiculous. If Zhao Yu didn't live in Vortex Town, where could he be from? There was only one town in Vortex Town near this forest.

The old man adjusted his breath for a moment before continuing, "It seems that this is the opportunity given by God! ”

The old man's words really became more and more outrageous, and Zhao Yu couldn't understand the situation at all.

"That...... Grandpa......"

"I'll give you that 'thing' right now. The old man raised his arm with difficulty, and he trembled and pointed to the black covered document bag in Zhao Yu's hand, "Remember, this 'thing' is very important. You must keep it for me. ”

"Huh?" Zhao Yu lifted his right hand that was pinching the black covered document bag, and he cast a surprised glance at the file bag.

"You must ...... Be sure to keep it safe. Then, go back to Vortex now, and don't tell anyone about my meeting and the 'thing' on your hands. Remember, don't tell anyone. Not even your family and friends. Also, the officials in your town are not allowed to mention it to them. Do you understand?"

The old man emphasized, 'Don't tell anyone', but Zhao Yu just nodded by inertia.

In other words, you have to keep the bag safe at all times and never lose it or let anyone else read it. ”

At this, the old man's eyes shot a terrifying gaze, as if he were facing an enemy. Zhao Yu couldn't help but shrink his neck, he was shocked by the old man's powerful aura, and he couldn't make any moves.

"If someone you don't know asks you to watch, you have to refuse to do so. ”

It came too suddenly, and Zhao Yu couldn't accept it. If, as the old man had emphasized, it should not be shown to anyone, then it meant that the document was very important!

Should we refuse? Zhao Yu currently has such an idea spreading.

"You can only give the document bag to one person. The old man spoke again. His eyelids drooped as if he had been hung with a weight, and the dark circles around his eye sockets were also very conspicuous," ...... Hungry...... Only one person can give the document. You can't let anyone else know about it except her. After speaking, the old man clutched his chest with one hand. It was as if he had reached the point where he could no longer speak.

Zhao Yu listened quietly with wide eyes.

"I can't be sure of the timing. But...... But someone will come to you later and ask you to hand over that document. ”

"Ahh

"A female swordsman named Shen Mengting. ”

When the old man said this name, Zhao Yu's eyebrows instantly rose upward. At the same time, the name 'Shen Mengting' was also completely rooted in his mind.

Shen Mengting?Shen Mengting-Zhao Yu moved his mouth and repeated the name in a tone that did not tremble the Adam's apple.

"She'll come to Vortex to find you. At that point, you can just hand her the papers. Of course, I hope you can also bring me a word. The old man swallowed, and his face showed a little sadness, "You just say to her: Uncle I'm going, and I can't teach you anything according to the agreement." You have to do everything yourself. Don't be discouraged, continue to fulfill your dreams according to your own ideas, and your uncle and your father will watch you succeed in heaven. ”

The old man said something that Zhao Yu didn't understand. But Zhao Yu knew that the old man was revealing what he wanted to say most in his heart at this moment, and there was no falsehood at all.

But......

Zhao Yu's mouth bulged into a ball, and he tilted his head. What had happened to him now was completely unexpected, and he was really not ready to accept it. Moreover, the old man's words were also unclear, and Zhao Yu could not discern any useful information from them.

At present, Zhao Yu is only clear about one thing. That is, the old man is dying, and he has a very important document in his hand. This document is too important for anyone to read, so it can only be handed over to a female swordsman named Shen Mengting.

This is the context of Zhao Yu's combing.

Well, that's the name. Zhao Yu repeated the words 'Shen Mengting' again in his heart, and learned from the old man that Shen Mengting was still a female swordsman. Zhao Yu was extremely curious about this woman.

At this time, the old man's painful moaning attracted Zhao Yu's attention. He didn't think about it anymore.

"Kids. You can only give it to a female swordsman named Shen Mengting. ”

"Ah!" Zhao Yu nodded tremblingly. However, after a moment's hesitation of his gaze, he quickly grabbed his head. The grinding of his nails against his hair was extremely harsh, but he still said his current hesitant thoughts, "But...... Grandpa, I just want to talk about it. Originally, after I fell into the river, I was panicked enough. I didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief, but you said these things to me again, and gave me such a difficult task. I'm not saying to shirk anything, but isn't that a bit ...... Is it too sudden?"

He tried his best to avoid the old man's gaze, and he didn't even dare to touch the old man's body for a moment. Perhaps because he was too nervous, Zhao Yu's upper body was clenched like a cramp.

Holding his breath, Zhao Yu waited for the old man's answer. However, for a while, there was little sound around. Except for the sound of the river flowing, the birds and insects in the woods chirping, and there was no intermittent response from the old man.

Just when Zhao Yu was surprised, something happened to the old man.

The old man suddenly screamed 'ahh The old man's body was shaking violently. It didn't take long for his body to fall to the ground and fall completely to the ground.

"Grandpa, grandpa. Zhao Yu anxiously took a few steps forward and asked.

But the old man didn't reply at all, one of his cheeks touched the ground, and the other turned to the sky. The trembling of his body did not stop for a moment, and white saliva remained at the corners of his mouth.

At this time, Zhao Yu realized that there was a large area of bruises on the old man's right arm.

What is this? Zhao Yu wanted to hold on to the old man. But the words that came to his mind, such as 'watch out for strangers', forced him to stop. Even at this time, he did not let his guard down on the old man. However, seeing the old man in such pain, Zhao Yu hesitated again and again and took steps.

He crouched down next to the old man and helped him up.

"Grandpa, grandpa. ”

After exhaling a few breaths of air, the old man's eyes gradually became focused. He squinted his eyes and smiled miserably at Zhao Yu.

"Kid, I don't know your name yet. But since you can come here to meet me, it also means that the two of us are destined. Plus you're helping me with things. So...... I've got you covered with the contents of my package, including this staff. The old man suddenly lifted his left arm, and the staff was held in his hand. He 'sighed' for a moment, and a sad look shot into his eyes, "This staff has been with me for most of my life. Now, I'm going to give it to you. I hope you can keep it safe. And also...... There are a lot of magician's study books in the package, and you can also take them to learn, which can be regarded as my reward for you. ”

The old man looked at the package in Zhao Yu's hand, and did not forget to hand the staff in his hand to Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu hesitated, but still took the staff. Because he was carrying a package, and the weight of the staff, he couldn't bear it and put them on the ground next to him.

"But you have to remember that things are very important and there is no room for mistakes. Do you understand?"

Zhao Yu only felt a tightness in his throat, and he nodded helplessly.

"Come, you repeat it to me. What you need to do, and what I want you to pay attention to. ”

After Zhao Yu was stunned, he still said what he should do from memory. "Keep the documents that my grandfather gave me, and don't show them to anyone during this period...... Except for a female swordsman named Shen Mengting, who will be looking for me soon. Then just hand her the papers. After hesitating for a while, Zhao Yu blinked blankly, "Right?"

"Yes. The old man nodded in satisfaction. After a long time, he suddenly wailed, and his eyes looked straight at the sky, "Mengting." Uncle is going to say goodbye to you. ”

"Old man. ”

Zhao Yu guessed that the 'Mengting' in the old man's mouth was Shen Mengting. But who is Shen Mengting? Also, whether it is the identity of the old man or the documents that the old man asked him to keep, Zhao Yu is all confused. He couldn't figure out what was going on at all, so Zhao Yu wanted to ask a few questions so that he could grasp some relevant information.

But suddenly, the old man's expression changed greatly. This frightened Zhao Yu to throw away the old man's body and run away by himself.

"Coming, they're coming......" the old man opened his mouth and breathed heavily, his eyes a little glazed, as if it were a dead body stripped of its soul, "coming......

"Who's?

"They'......," the old man's brow lowered, "they're coming." But this time...... This time, my country may not be able to resist it...... Can't stop it......"

"Old man ......"

"I can't stop it...... Ah......h When he relaxed again, his eyes suddenly closed.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Yu began to try to shake the old man's body.

"Grandpa, grandpa, grandpa. ”

The shaking increased as the shouts increased, but the old man did not react at all. The old man closed his eyes peacefully, and it seemed that he was not breathing.

That is to say......

Zhao Yu stopped shaking, and he looked at the old man holding him in a daze. Now, he doesn't have any anger at all.

Realizing that what he was holding was a dead corpse, Zhao Yu suddenly shrank back. In this way, the old man's back fell to the ground.

He's dead—Zhao Yu's lips quivered.

A large shadow obscured it, and the surrounding light sources seemed to fade away. Zhao Yu frowned and raised his head. Indeed, the sky, which was dazzling just now, is now full of dark clouds.

Zhao Yu looked at the old man, and then quickly looked around. What the hell is going on?, he kept asking himself the question.

I was going out to the woods in the suburbs with my companions, but I didn't expect to fall into the river by accident, and I didn't expect to be able to go ashore here, and I met a mysterious old man. The old man also arranged for him to do something. Regarding this matter, Zhao Yu still didn't know what it meant.

Also, what did the old man mean by the unclear words he said at the end? Who is coming? What can be stopped and unstoppable?

Everything is as if in a dream. Zhao Yu tried to slowly turn his body, one or two circles, and the scene he saw changed as he circled, he wasn't sure if the place he was in was reality, and he couldn't tell if what he encountered was true or false. For a while, Zhao Yu was confused.

When he stopped spinning, he suddenly looked at the old man again.

Who the hell is this person?Zhao Yu was surprised that he only realized this question at this time. Who is the old man? Why is he here? And why didn't he go to Vortex to hand in the papers?

By the way, why did the old man die? Judging from his performance just now, it seems that he was seriously injured. In addition, will the group of people who made him injured come to Zhao Yu?

Zhao Yu only felt a little prostration, he had no way of knowing what was happening at the moment. But one thing he was still very clear about was that he needed to follow the old man's last words, hide the document bag and wait for the female swordsman who called Shen Mengting to come and ask for it.

Zhao Yu walked to the old man's body. Looking at the old man lying quietly on the ground, Zhao Yu had an indescribable feeling in his heart. He stooped down and picked up the black cover and glanced at the cover with nothing written. Now, no matter what, let's go back and talk about it first!" he thought to himself.

Somehow, it seems to smell burning. At the same time, he only felt that something was burning, and there seemed to be a fire coming out of the corner of his eye. Zhao Yu gasped and found that the old man's body was burning.

He quickly tried to make a save with his sleeve, but it seemed too late. The fire burned so hard that it swallowed up the old man in a moment. Zhao Yu himself also felt the heat flow. He picked up his package and staff and ran away.

The flames burned for a long time, and it rose and fell, making Zhao Yu not know what to do. How could it suddenly burn, he wondered in his heart.

But now that the old man is dead, Zhao Yu can't get a response to any more questions. He waited for Shen Mengting to appear before he could figure out the context of the matter.

As soon as he thought of Shen Mengting, Zhao Yu realized a very serious problem.

How could Shen Mengting find him? According to the old man, Shen Mengting would come to Vortex Town in the future to find the person who had the document. However, how should Shen Mengting know that this document is currently in Zhao Yu's hands? How can she know that Zhao Yu is not a liar? On the other hand, how can Zhao Yu know that Shen Mengting who came here is not a liar? How can she confirm Shen Mengting's identity?

Yes...... Zhao Yu grabbed his head irritably. There are too many problems that cannot be solved, and in the final analysis, it is the old man who is not clear.

Of course, there is another more important point, how should Zhao Yu get out of this predicament now, and how should he get out of this forest?

He looked at the strange sights around him, and fell to his knees helplessly.
