Chapter 22: Xiaobai leaves
At this time, the battle in the valley outside had also subsided, and the entire valley was covered with human corpses, and these people were basically weak mercenaries.
And there were less than a thousand mercenaries standing there, and it was a huge purple lion camel that walked into the valley, stopped the attack of the giant spirit ape and other spirit beasts, and let them withdraw from the valley, so that they could survive.
The rest of these people seemed to be particularly united at this time, and they were gathering together to heal.
Each of them had injuries on their bodies, some of them were still very serious, but none of them left, not because they didn't want to, but because they didn't dare, who knew if they would be attacked by those spirit beasts again after they went out.
They are waiting for those strong people who have descended to the bottom of the cliff to come out, after all, those people are the powerhouses of the major families and mercenary groups in Black Rock City, including the thirteen princes of the White Cloud Empire, at least they will deter the spirit beasts of this great barren mountain.
Those people are now like a lifeline for them, making them look forward to it.
"Here they are, they're back!"
I don't know which mercenary saw a figure climbing up from the cliff and shouted excitedly.
Everyone's eyes were attracted by a shout, and they all looked towards the edge of the cliff, and saw that people were climbing up one after another.
But the people who came up from the bottom of the cliff did not return in triumph with excitement as they had imagined, but came out one by one in despair, full of fear, and fled out of the valley without even looking at them, as if there were terrible monsters behind them.
This made the hearts of the people waiting in the valley half cold, and when they saw Li Yunfeng, who was seriously injured and was carried up, and the thirteen princes with gloomy faces appeared, everyone's anticipation gradually fell to the bottom.
It seems that those people are not going very well, and even the two powerful guards of the Thirteen Princes are missing, there should be some accident.
And after the Thirteen Princes and his party climbed the cliff and saw the corpses all over the ground, their originally ugly faces became even more hideous.
It was just a matter of being bullied by that guy in the tomb, and after coming out, he actually saw the people of the White Cloud Empire being ruthlessly slaughtered by those spirit beasts.
The evil fire in his heart has accumulated beyond suppression, and he wants to vent it, and he wants to make all the people and beasts who disrespect him pay.
With a grim cold light flashing in his eyes, he glanced at the surviving mercenaries, and with a gloomy face, he followed the powerhouses of the major families in Black Rock City towards the outside of the valley.
Seeing that the people who came out of the king's tomb were walking out of the valley, the surviving mercenaries also got up and followed them and walked out of the valley.
When everyone was gone, two more figures climbed up under the cliff, and one of the thin figures had a white kitten in his arms, it was Xue Wuxian and Tang Fan.
The two of them looked at the corpses scattered all over the valley, and they were a little surprised, they didn't expect such a big change to happen outside, but they didn't know who did it!
Looking at the tragic situation of those people, Tang Fan couldn't help but think of the tragedy of the Tang family at the beginning, the familiar scene of his relatives falling in front of him, and the scene of his grandfather desperately defending against the enemy regardless of his injuries in order to create a chance for himself to escape.
Tang Fan's hand clenched unconsciously, the joy of the soaring realm, and the excitement of the victory in the great battle just now quickly came to naught.
If I hadn't found the tomb in advance with the help of Xiaobai, but had come with the people of these mercenary groups, I wonder if I would have become one of these corpses?
It seems that you are still too weak, this world will always be respected by strength, you have strong strength, whether it is a human or a spirit animal, they dare not easily provoke you, you have a strong strength to survive better in this world.
Tang Fan has a clearer direction for his future path, that is, to become stronger quickly!
When Tang Fan and Xue Wuxian walked out of the valley, they couldn't help but be surprised when they saw the spirit beasts waiting there all over the mountains, and they also understood in their hearts what was going on with the miserable situation of those people in the valley.
At this time, a tall purple lion camel walked out of the spirit beast, with a vertical stripe glowing with golden light on its forehead, and from the aura it emanated, it could be felt that it was very powerful, at least much stronger than Snow Traceless.
It dragged its heavy and steady steps to Tang Fan, opened its big mouth like a basin, and said in a loud voice: "Human, please hand over Your Highness, we will let you go." ”
"Your Highness?" Tang Fan chuckled in his heart and looked at Xiao Bai in his arms.
No wonder Xiaobai has been sullen since coming out of the tomb, and has been nesting on its chest in a daze, it seems that it has sensed that there is a spirit beast waiting for it outside.
"Senior, Xiaobai is my friend, we have always gotten along very well, can you keep it by my side, I promise to take good care of it and let it grow with me. ”
Although he hasn't been with Xiaobai for a long time, Tang Fan has a deep affection for it, this little thing is very spiritual, Tang Fan has regarded it as his own relative, not a spirit animal.
"Stay with you? absolutely not, it is my highness, its status is noble, how can it be with a human being, and besides, you have no ability to take care of it.
We have been ordered to bring it back to Your Highness, and there must be no mistakes, so don't waste your tongue any more, put down Your Highness quickly, for the sake of your Highness's friend, I can let you leave safely. ”
"Senior, how can I take Xiaobai away. Tang Fan was unwilling to let Xiaobai be taken away like this.
"Defeat me, and perhaps my emperor will let His Highness follow you. The lion camel looked at Tang Fan with some contempt.
"Defeat you?" Tang Fan's face was a little ugly, although he didn't know what grade the lion camel beast was, what level of spirit beast it was, but the aura it released at will caused him a lot of pressure, to defeat it, I am afraid that he is still too far behind.
Tang Fan wanted to say something more, but was pulled by the snow behind him.
He shook his head at Tang Fan and said softly: "Xiao Fan, let Xiao Bai go with it, it's right, you don't have the ability to take care of it now, if someone recognizes its identity outside, it will be dangerous for you and Xiao Bai, and letting Xiao Bai go with them is the best choice." When you're strong in the future, you can come back to it!"
Xue Wuxian's words made Tang Fan silent, he knew that what Xue Wuxian said was right, but he was still a little reluctant to Xiaobai in his heart.
He stroked Xiaobai's hair and said to Xiaobai: "Xiaobai, you go back with them, five years, wait for me for five years, I will definitely come back to you, and then we will travel the world together!"
Xiao Bai winked at Tang Fan, then waved a pair of small claws for a long time, and then his little furry head arched a few times in Tang Fan's arms, it was comforting Tang Fan.
Xiaobai told Tang Fan that he liked to be with Tang Fan very much, especially liked to eat Tang Fan's barbecued meat, but this time it came out secretly, and he didn't expect to be discovered so soon.
It asked Tang Fan not to be sad, it went back to settle down for a few days, and when the family was relaxed, it came to Tang Fan to play, and then brought him something delicious.
Tang Fan's depressed mood was relieved a lot by Xiaobai's "comfort", this little thing is indeed too small, and his head is full of only food.
He patted Xiaobai and then explained to it, don't just know how to eat, you can't hold it after eating it into a ball, you must listen to your parents when you go back, practice more, and grow up quickly, so that you can rest assured your parents when you come out. The outside world is very dangerous, and if you don't have the strength, you can die at any time.
Seeing Xiaobai nodding as if he didn't understand, Tang Fan was very reluctant to hand it over to the lion camel beast.
Xiao Bai followed the lion camel beast away, looking at the figure waving his little paws farther and farther away, Tang Fan was still silently chanting in his heart, "Xiao Bai, wait for me for five years, I will definitely come to pick you up, and we will travel to the continent together!"
"Let's go, Xiaobai has his growth route, and you also have your growth environment, if you want to live as you want and no longer be separated from your relatives, then improve your ability.
When you grow to the point where everyone looks up to you, you can do what you want and live the life you want!" Xue Wuxian said with a sigh of emotion.
"Well, I remember, Uncle Xue!" Tang Fan replied absentmindedly.
"Uncle Xue, do you know what grade of spirit beast that lion camel beast is?"
"It is one of the lords of this Great Barren Mountain, the fourth-order beast king Purple Gold Lion Camel Beast, which is equivalent to a human Heavenly Martial Realm powerhouse!"
"Tianwu Realm powerhouse?" Tang Fan couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, he thought that the big lion camel was the peak of the Earth Martial Realm, but he didn't expect it to be a Tianwu Realm powerhouse, and if he wanted to defeat it in five years, Tang Fan felt a lot of pressure.
"What's the matter?, there's pressure?" Xue Wuxian looked at Tang Fan playfully.
When Tang Fan made an agreement with Xiaobai for five years, he rolled his eyes on the side, not knowing whether it was the fearlessness of the ignorant or the expansion of his self-confidence.
If you want to reach the Heavenly Martial Realm from the Nine Heavens of the Body Refining Realm in five years, it is impossible in the eyes of Xue Wuxian at all, it is not impossible, it is simply a fantasy.
Not to mention that Tang Fan is a casual cultivator, with ordinary qualifications and lack of cultivation resources, even those top geniuses of the Southern Regions Holy Land with a deep background, it is probably impossible to go from the Body Refining Realm to the Heavenly Martial Realm within five years.
There are twenty-year-old Tianwu Realm powerhouses, but none of them are super geniuses who have been secretly cultivated in the Holy Land since childhood, with the support of the resources accumulated by the Holy Land for countless years, and the guidance of the old monsters of the family.
And Tang Fan is almost fifteen years old now, and he has no foundation, although he has recently obtained some resources, but to reach the Tianwu Realm in five years, it is really a fool's dream.
However, Xue Wuxian did not hit Tang Fan, he patted Tang Fan on the shoulder and encouraged him and said: "There is pressure to be motivated, as long as you keep your heart, be willing to endure hardships, and be willing to work hard, you will definitely be able to realize your dreams, Uncle Xue believes in you!"
"Well, I will!" Tang Fan didn't show any frustration, he only had firmness in his eyes, firmness to the goal, and firmness to the future.
Seeing Tang Fan's performance, Xue Wuxian nodded with satisfaction, maybe this is the fighting spirit of young people, and he is looking forward to Tang Fan's next performance.
The two of them didn't stay where they were for long before walking out of the Great Wilderness Mountain.
