Su Chen is an ordinary child in Sujia Town of the Heavenly Tiger Empire.

When Su Chen was three years old, his father kicked his legs because of a hidden disease, so he left their orphans and widows and went to heaven alone. Su Chen's family was not wealthy, and for a long time, he had always relied on his father to make a living by striking iron, and as soon as his father died, the whole family collapsed. In order to support Su Chen, her mother sold most of the family's wealth, and even went to the tailor shop day and night to do needlework, but even so, the life of the mother and son was still extremely poor, and there was no meal.

Su Chen's mother is not a local, but one day she fainted at the door of the blacksmith shop and was called for help by Su Chen's father, and since then the two have come together, and soon after, there was Su Chen.

After his father's death, Su Chen's mother and son were helpless in Sujia Town, and they were bullied a lot, and their mother's needlework and wages were also squeezed by nearly half less than ordinary people.

Ten years later, Su Chen is thirteen years old, and his family has accumulated a lot of debts.

Just a few days ago, the creditor came to the door and actually asked for a hundred taels of silver, a hundred taels, in the past ten years, the sum of the silver borrowed by their family is only ten taels, but as soon as the other party opened his mouth, the debt was expanded tenfold, such a huge amount, how can the family pay it back?

Su Chen's mother is very beautiful, even if she is in her early thirties now, she still has charm, and she looks more mature and charming than before, in the past ten years, I don't know how many men have been rejected, and this time, the creditor, Su Xing, who is a tyrant in Sujia Town, is also one of the suitors, and it is precisely because of this that Su Xing is willing to lend them money one after another, in order to make them owe their favors and win the favor of Su Chen's mother.

However, Su Chen's mother was loyal to his father, and Su Xing's many hints were fooled in the past, Su Xing's patience was still very good, and it was useless for more than ten years, but with the migration of time, his desire to get Su Chen's mother gradually increased, and the desire finally blinded his mind, Su Xing came to the door to ask for debts, claiming that if Su Chen's family did not pay a hundred taels of silver within seven days, he would directly come to the door and snatch Su Chen's mother back to the house as a concubine.

Seeing his mother wash his face with tears every day, Su Chen also felt unspeakable pain in his heart, and later accidentally heard that the soul core of the soul beast and some furs could be sold for a lot of money, so Su Chen hid from his mother, took the two animal traps and a dagger left by his father before and secretly entered the deep mountains, hoping to hunt two soul beasts to sell them at a good price and repay the hundred taels of silver.

Going deep into the mountains, Su Chen put the trap in the two piles of grass, waited for a long time, and finally heard the painful cry of a soul beast, but who knows, this is a huge brown bear, the trap only hurt the opponent's leg, and in the end, it aroused the ferocity of the other party and chased him relentlessly.

Running all the way, who knew that he accidentally got entangled in his feet with rattan, and saw that the brown bear spewed out a soil ball from its mouth and was about to hit Su Chen, a lightning bolt suddenly burst out from behind itself, shattering the soil ball, and later, Su Chen was not awake as soon as his eyes broke.

When Su Chen woke up from his slumber, he found that he was leaning against a big tree, touched his face with both hands, pinched his arm, and it hurt, it turned out that he was not dead.

"Awake?" a faint voice sounded from the side.

Su Chen turned his head and found that not far from him, there were two men standing, one of them was in a black robe and red hair, and his resolute face was full of coldness, which couldn't help but send chills to the bottom of his heart, and behind him, there was a bald man with a tall head and a horse wrapped in leopard skin at will, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

"Yes...... Did you save me?" asked Su Chen in a low voice, feeling a little panicked, after all, the two didn't seem to get along very well.

"Why are you here? I don't know it's dangerous?" asked Zhuo Tianzhao.

"I'm here to hunt soul beasts!" Su Chen said.

"......" The corners of Zhuo Tianzhao's mouth twitched, and he wanted to ask whether you are here to hunt soul beasts, or to feed yourself to soul beasts?

"Brother, can you give me that brown bear?" Su Chen said, pointing to the corpse of the brown bear in the thick soil not far away.

"Tell me first, why did you come to hunt soul beasts?" Zhuo Tianzhao was speechless, he had just saved his life, this kid not only didn't even say a word of thanks, but also directly asked for something from himself.

"I'm going to sell it to pay off my debts and save my mother!" Su Chen said.

"Save your mother, tell me what's going on, maybe I can save your mother?" Zhuo Tianzhao heard Su Chen mention his mother, his face changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal.

"Really, brother, then save my mother!" Zhuo Tianzhao's calmness became unfathomable in Su Chen's eyes, and he had no doubt in his heart that the other party could save his mother, so he quickly explained the general situation.

"I can help you pay off your debts, but you must promise me one condition!" Zhuo Tianzhao said.

"What?" asked Su Chen.

"You must come with me!"

"I'd be grateful if you could pay off the debt for me, but I can't agree to this condition!" Su Chen replied very simply.

"Why?" asked Zhuo Tianzhao.

"What should I do if I leave with you?" asked Su Chen.

"I will arrange your mother-in-law so that she will not suffer for the rest of her life!"

"Really?" Su Chen was skeptical.

"Really!"

"Okay, I promise!"

A rare smile appeared on Zhuo Tianzhao's face: "How long is there still a seven-day deadline?"

"Oh no!" Hearing Zhuo Tianzhao's question, Su Chen remembered, "There is only one day left, and it's too late!"

"Lead the way!" Time was pressing, Zhuo Tianzhao lifted Su Chen up, and his body directly turned into an afterimage and swept towards the outside of the jungle, and the iron block also followed closely when he saw this.

The whistling wind sounded in his ears, the scene in front of him was blurry, Su Chen's heart beat faster, and he felt like he was flying.

Under such a rapid run, in just half a day, Zhuo Tianzhao and the three of them had already left the mountain range.

"Brother, go north!" Su Chen shouted.

"En!" Zhuo Tianzhao changed direction, and the leap of each step was more than ten meters, and the speed of the wind system was exerted by him to the extreme, and even the iron behind him was faintly unable to keep up.

A few hours later, a small market town loomed into Zhuo Tianzhao's field of vision.

"It's the front, after entering the town, go west, my house is in that old residential area!" Su Chen couldn't wait to point to the market town in front of him and shouted.

As soon as Zhuo Tianzhao took Su Chen into the old residential area in the west, he found that there was a boiling crowd, and the front of the bungalow in front of him was full of people.

"Mother!" Su Chen returned to the ground from Zhuo Tianzhao's armpit and rushed into the crowd like a fly.

"No!" Su Chen's heart-rending shout suddenly came from the crowd, and Zhuo Tianzhao's face changed and he squeezed into the crowd.

I saw Su Chen kneeling on the ground, and a beautiful woman in cloth was lying in her arms, and the blood had already flowed all over the ground.

"Are you a step too late?" Zhuo Tianzhao frowned and sighed softly.
