The mountains and forests are bathed in bright sunlight, but the caves hidden in the valley are a little dark, and the light at the entrance of the cave is blocked by the branches and dead vines, and the cave is unusually dim.

Su Yuan put down the baby girl in his arms, helped Pang Jing who was lying on the ground up, and probed the breath in his body, Pang Jing's breath was very chaotic, his body seemed to be in a fierce battle, his expression was sometimes painful and fearful, sometimes ruthless, like two completely different souls fighting each other in his body, wanting to occupy this body.

Su Yuan put his hand on Pang Jing's heart, and slowly transmitted a gentle healing power into his body, calming his chaotic aura while slowly restoring the vitality of his body.

Su Yuan had just woken up from a coma, but his complexion at this time was not as weak as the initial recovery from a serious injury, and the healing power transmitted to Pang Jing's body was also a little more pure and powerful.

Su Yuan guessed that it might be related to the power contained in the water.

Call!

Pang Jing woke up suddenly, his eyes were a little confused the moment he opened his eyes, as if he remembered something, he turned his head suddenly, and saw Su Yuan for a moment, grabbed his shoulders with both hands, and asked urgently, "You...... You guys...... Are you alright?"

Su Yuan was a little hurt when he was caught, and he smiled quietly: "We're fine, but you...... Finally woke up. ”

Pang Jing put his hand down at this time, breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice, "It's okay." ”

Xi Lan leaned over and carefully looked Pang Jing up and down, "Your previous situation was really scary. ”

Pang Jing leaned against the stone wall, his face was ashamed, and his eyes were complicated and said: "That man in black is too strong, I have to use the power of the bloodline, but I didn't expect that this time I was too seriously injured, and the power of the bloodline was completely uncontrollably stimulated." He lowered his gaze, as if he did not dare to face the two of them, shrouded his face in the darkness, and came over for a while before he said in a low voice: "I can't remember what happened after that." ”

Xi Lan and Su Yuan glanced at each other, and seeing that Su Yuan shook his head gently, Xi Lan understood, and did not ask any further.

For Pang Jing, it was a good thing to forget what happened at the last minute in the wilderness, otherwise knowing that Su Yuan almost died under his knife would definitely make him feel guilty for it.

Su Yuan said with a smile: "After that person was seriously injured by you, we fled here, although the power of your bloodline is very strong, but well, it is better not to use it as much as possible." ”

Pang Jing only noticed this cave at this time, and when he saw the white-fronted tiger, he paused for a moment, but he didn't ask too much, and turned his head to meet Su Yuan's clear and deep eyes, like clear spring water in a quiet abyss, he nodded, and said with a reluctant smile: "Hmm." ”

Su Yuan said: "I'm fine, and as soon as Pang Jing's injury recovers, we can leave here." ”

"Don't underestimate me, I don't care about this injury. Pang Jing tried to pretend that it didn't matter, but as soon as he stood up and wanted to stretch his body, his feet were weak, his body fell down again, and the wound was touched, so painful that he grinned and gasped.

Su Yuan smiled, "Let's wait for the injury to heal, we are not in a hurry at this time." ”

This time, Pang Jing did not object, leaned his head against the wall, and half-closed his eyes, as if he was resting, as if he was thinking about something.

The cave fell silent again.

After a long time, Xi Lan suddenly said: "In the past few days, I have been thinking about why we have no grievances with those people in black, why those people have been chasing after us, and it seems that they will not stop until they kill us." ”

Su Yuan thought for a moment, "Maybe it's just this baby girl they want to hunt down." ”

"This baby girl is not any threat to them, even if they are lucky enough to escape and grow up, they will not know what happened, and judging from the outfit and strength of those people, there is likely to be a huge force behind them, they are acting so secretly, they must be doing something unknown, I guess, it is not as simple as killing people. ”

"The man who handed over the baby girl to me mentioned Jingyang Gong before he died. ”

"Jingyang Gong?" Xi Lan pondered, then shook his head again, "I haven't heard of this person, and I don't care about this, even if we wait for Pang Jing's injuries to recover, where do you think we can escape?"

Su Yuan was stunned, he never thought about where he was going, he muttered, "You mean we won't escape?"

Xilan said: "Don't run away. ”

Su Yuan smiled: "That's right, we will stay in this cave all the time, and they will naturally leave after they can't find us." ”

Xilan said, "There is another choice for us. ”

Su Yuan understood, "But there are more than a dozen of them, not counting the leader whose injuries are unknown, and the three of us are definitely not their opponents." ”

"Do you know why this big guy hasn't left this cave yet?" asked Xilan suddenly.

Su Yuan looked at the white-fronted tiger lying on the ground and shook his head.

"Because we have threatened its survival, even if the entrance of the cave is clearly in front, it still does not dare to go out of us, and we have not harmed it these days, so it thinks that it is at least safe to keep this way of getting along, and even the baby girl to snatch milk it tolerates, because it wants us to see that it is still valuable, and will not kill it, and when you are all unconscious, and see that it is just me, it starts to move again, but it gives up, because then it is at least alive. ”

"But we started out just trying to heal our wounds in this cave and hide from our enemies. ”

"But the white-fronted tiger doesn't think so, because it can't guess what we think. ”

Su Yuansi said: "You are saying that the other party is also like this white-fronted tiger, thinking that we are a threat to them, so even if we escape, they will try to continue to hunt us down." ”

"Think about it, if we just saved this baby girl by accident, why would we rather die than hand her over when our lives were threatened, then the other party must be suspicious of our purpose. And now, even if we give her to the other side, they will not give up, they will only chase us even more, because they must think that we know the secret they want to hide, not to mention that we have made them suffer several losses, so we have become a threat to them. ”

"But......" Su Yuan wanted to refute, but after thinking about it, what Xi Lan said was not unreasonable.

Xilan continued: "I remember that there was a scholar who once asked why different races are often at war and killing with each other, and rarely get along, and he even disregarded the strange eyes of the world and proposed that our empire has a large area of barren land, which can completely allow the Sea Clan to have a land to live in, and the empire and the Sea Clan can live in peace, so that thousands of years of struggle and war can stop. However, this statement was not only spurned by the world, but later there were people who slaughtered all the members of the family of the scholar who dared to make such bold statements, and hung them on the head of the city to warn the world that the empire not only did not track down the perpetrators, but also regarded them as heroes, do you know why?"

Su Yuan muttered: "Because the empire and the sea clan are incompatible, the hatred between each other cannot be resolved,"

Xilan said: " The most important reason is that such a practice will put the people of the empire at risk of survival, because no one knows whether the sea tribe will accept this kind of goodwill, and when they will turn against the empire, although the sea tribe is not a lot of threats to the empire now, but it has not yet reached the point where it is difficult to sleep, and the sea tribe will not accept this way, because they cannot guess whether the empire is good or malicious, just like a powerful beast will not get along with another powerful beast, and there is often only a fight between each other until one of them falls, because they are not willing to be threatened。 Not to mention the Sea Clan and the Empire, even within the Empire, the struggle between the different tribes has never stopped, and there is a lot of killing and suspicion between them, and the apparent peace is just an illusion. In the final analysis, the royal family is not only the ruler of the empire, but also the most powerful family in the empire, he has been maintaining a delicate balance between the various races, not only so that the races are under his control, can not threaten him, but also will not let their strength be too weakened, otherwise there will be no one to maintain the empire for them and resist foreign forces, so they are also a relationship of interdependence and resistance, but this relationship is sometimes fragile, when one side is strong enough, it will threaten this rule, but fortunately, not only different tribes, even if it is the same family, it will also be full of struggle, and there will rarely be a situation where one side is dominant, as big as the empire, as small as between two different people, as long as survival and interests are threatened, there will be struggles. ”

Su Yuan was surprised when he listened to Xi Lan's eloquent talk, he was not surprised why Xi Lan could say these words, but he was surprised that his always slightly cold appearance actually hid such a thought, Su Yuan thought that he was a person with a weak temperament, but he didn't expect to have such a delicate mind. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Su Yuan, Pang Jing and Xi Lan have known each other for four years, and their young friendship skills are the most precious and the most honest, but Su Yuan always feels that between Xi Lan and him and Pang Jing, there is a feeling that they can't open their hearts.

Su Yuan suddenly thought that they had known each other for many years, and the three of them had never asked each other's families, the power of the bloodline on their bodies, as if they were deliberately avoiding each other, even if it was himself, he had never mentioned to them that there was actually another reason for his travels down the mountain, as if there were some secrets that he didn't want to share with others.

What he had thought was the purest friendship was now shaken.

Is the friendship between the three of them just an illusion?

Pang Jing stretched his waist and said: "Sleep well, I was woken up by you, I said you, aren't you talking about how to get out of trouble? ”

Xilan said: "I just want to say a truth, those men in black are so determined to kill us, it is very likely that they think that we will be a threat to them, but for whatever reason, we should not stand idly by, they will definitely not expect us to take the initiative to attack, then we will kill them by surprise." ”

Pang Jing laughed, "I agree with this statement, killing them is a pleasure, and it can be regarded as revenge this time." ”

The two looked at Su Yuan, and Su Yuan also nodded in agreement.
