Run, run, run......

Qingkong's mind was filled with the word, but his legs were powerless to dominate the brain's suggestion. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info His eyes couldn't see the road ahead, he couldn't tell if he hadn't opened his eyes or if it was because of the darkness around him, he didn't know. His ears were ringing, and everywhere was filled with the screams of wild beasts, chases, and the heavy breathing of his own.

Suddenly, he felt as if he had forgotten something, or more accurately, something was missing from his side.

A pretty and petite figure flashed through his mind.

The deer! the deer is gone! His eyes were constricted, and his green eyes were tinged with fear. He must have been separated from her when he fled in a hurry, leaving her alone. Thinking of this, he was even more terrified in his heart, because behind him was the monster chasing them. The monsters seemed to have been enchanted, each tall and fierce, with the body of a beast and strong limbs, but their upper body was in the form of a human being......

He told himself that he had to go back and find the deer, and that he couldn't abandon her. He stopped running on his legs and turned to the dark forest behind him, the noise and screams around him getting closer and closer. He didn't know the direction, but his legs unconsciously ran in one direction, as if some kind of magic was pulling him there.

The more I ran in that direction, everything around me began to become indescribably weird...... He kept sprinting in and out of the bushes, ignoring the thorny branches scratching his skin, until he finally came to a stop in front of a clearing. He suddenly realized that this was the place where he and Kaer had been separated from the University Scholars, and that the University Scholars had used all their magic to fend off all orc attacks.

It's the front, the voice calls in the head, it's the front. It seemed that all the noise and screaming came from the clearing, and it was as if I heard the screams of deer. He ran over, and suddenly the darkness in front of him was lifted like a curtain, and the light pierced his eyes like sharp arrows, and he couldn't help but cry out at the scene behind him......

Sky sat up sharply.

The huge branches of the ancient tree in front of him were slowly retracting, and the light shone sparsely on his body, and a few beams shone into his eyes, which were very dazzling. The fine sweat on his forehead and the still fluttering heartbeat proved that the nightmare just now was so real.

What about the deer? Qingkong looked around, but did not find her. This is the same scene as in the dream, Lu'er is not beside him, and his emotions are starting to become a little anxious.

"Brother Sora. The light ringing sound instantly reassured him.

The deer came from the bushes in the distance, fruit in hand, and its delicate little face was wet, as if it had just been washed. Qingkong looked at her, her beautiful eyes blinked with long eyelashes, which were purer than the color of her own eyes, and her shoulder-length hair was tied up by her with grass stems, and her slightly undulating breasts were already contoured......

"Brother Xiaokong, are you up?" Lu'er said as she walked.

Looking at the deer that was gradually approaching, the last scene of the nightmare suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, and he suddenly got up and rushed over, holding the deer tightly in his arms, as if he was afraid that the scene in the dream would happen again. He had lost the scholar and could not afford to lose her again.

"Don't run around. His voice was surprisingly gentle, as if he were comforting a frightened fawn.

The deer's face was buried in the strong chest of the sky, listening to the beating of the puff. She didn't know why her little empty brother was so excited, so she could only say a little shyly, "I...... When I get up, go ...... I went to find some fruit, and then ...... Then I found a creek and ......"

Qingkong didn't speak, just hugged her tightly. After a while, Qingkong let go of the deer that was clinging to him.

"Where's the creek?" he asked.

Lu'er's face turned crimson, turned his face away, and whispered to him the location.

"You wait here for me, and I'll be right back. Qingkong looked around cautiously, and after making sure it was safe here, he told her.

Lu'er agreed softly, looking at his back, and the thought in his heart rekindled......

According to Lu'er's description, Qingkong quickly found the stream that was not far from them. Seeing the clear stream, he couldn't help but kneel on the ground and stick his head deep in it, so that his thoughts became clear in the somewhat cool stream...... The screen flickered, and he was exhausted from the open space trap where the university scholar sacrificed himself to buy them time to escape, to the escape all the way here. And he and Lu'er have already deviated from the direction they originally wanted to go, and it will take time to find the right way, which Lu'er told him.

After soaking in the stream for a while, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't breathe, he really wished he could figure out what to do next. Without the guidance of the university scholars, everything has no idea, and he himself has to learn how to face all kinds of unexpected situations and how to take the deer out of the current predicament.

When he thinks of university scholars, his eyes are a little blurry. Starting in the northeastern fishing village of Dragon Valley, the veteran scholar has accompanied and protected himself all the way: sneaking back to Qingyun City, which has been controlled by the Dark Alliance, negotiating with the brutal tribal warriors, and then collaborating with the proud Yilong clan...... During this time, they defeated the rock monsters of the Dark Alliance, evaded the erosion of fire insects, and trekked through mountains and rivers...... But in the end, he couldn't escape the attack of the Dark Alliance. However, what he couldn't bear the most was that it was the Bodor University scholar who had always been beloved by him who led the group of orcs to besiege them. His blurred eyes turned to rage, and he could no longer call him a scholar, but a lackey of the Dark Alliance, a black-robed mage.

But no matter how angry he is, he can't get back the life of a scholar of Muyuan University, thinking that he had doubted his motives at the beginning, but now everything is clear, but it is too late, and the scholar has already ......

No, he tried to stifle the idea at the beginning of its existence. The scholar is a Terran magician, so he will not be defeated so easily!, but there seems to be another voice against him, gently reminding him: his opponent is also a Terran magician, and he is an evil dark magician who is more powerful than him......

Qingkong wiped his face with his sleeve and sorted out his emotions, he knew that no matter how sad he was, this was not the time to show it.

He came to the root of a dead tree next to the creek, ready to go back after solving his physical problems. He had been away for a long time, and leaving Lu'er alone to wait made him feel uneasy. He unbuckled his trousers and unleashed as much as he could, his eyes wandering. Suddenly, some messy marks not far in front of him caught his attention. But at a distance from him, he couldn't see what it was.

A bad premonition struck, and he immediately lifted his pants and walked over.

There was another intersection that didn't deviate much from the path he had come. In fact, it is said that it is an intersection, but it is easier to get off than other places where there is overgrown grass.

Sky crouched on the ground and carefully observed the marks about the size of his face, which stretched out into the forest in a haphazard manner, like the footprints of some kind of animal. But along the way, he hadn't noticed any such huge creatures, except for ...... Thinking of this, Qingkong's pupils constricted, except for the group of orcs chasing after him! and their limbs were just so thick, and the number matched the strings of overlapping footprints on the ground.

They've already been there? That was the first reaction of the sky, and he judged by the fresh dirt in his tracks, and that they hadn't been gone for long. Looking at the trail just a few meters away from the path he had come, he began to fear that the vicious orcs would find the deer. Because there are all kinds of half-human, half-beast monsters in the orcs, among which werewolves are masters of tracking their prey. Thinking of this, he immediately ran towards the way he had come.

Stumbling along the way, the thin branches scratching his skin couldn't stop him. Finally, as he approached his and the deer's resting place, a roar came from there. It was certainly not a voice still in a dream, but it was real, and they still found a place.

Qingkong clenched his fists, and the power of the Phantom Clan's bloodline in his body ran through his body. Now he is very proficient in manipulating the Phantom bloodline, and this is also thanks to the guidance of the university scholars. This way stopped and stopped, and whenever he stopped, the university scholar told him everything he knew about the Phantom Race, including the various ancient families living on this continent, as well as the several stages of the Phantom Race's bloodline promotion - Phantom Power, Phantom Shape, and Combination of Type Force. This also made him know that the phantom bloodline he could control now was only at the stage of phantom power, but for his original ordinary physique, having the power of gravel and the agility of a cat was enough to satisfy.

Rushing out of the bushes, half-human, half-beast orcs with ugly faces crowded in front of them, but there was no deer in sight. Qingkong was a little relieved, could it be that the deer had escaped from the encirclement of this group of orcs, but why did this group of orcs not leave here, but gathered here.

He didn't have time to think about it, because the attention of several orcs had already shifted to him. They howled in a tribal language they didn't understand, as if to convey something, and more orcs turned to him. Apparently, they were more interested in me, thought to him. The orc's movement also allowed Haruka to finally see the place where they had gathered, and it turned out to be the ancient tree where he and Shier had rested last night. At this moment, the branches of the ancient tree had fallen, and it did not move at all despite the vigorous impact of several orcs. But when the sky left, the ancient tree had already put away its branches, why did it ...... at this time?

It turned out that the deer was in the ancient tree, and with the protection of the ancient tree, Qingkong finally breathed a sigh of relief. Things have also become easier, as long as you lead the group of orcs away, the deer will have a chance to come out of the ancient tree, and as long as they can break through the breakout, they will be safe. For though the orcs were strong on all fours and ran as swift as wild beasts, they were not as familiar as the deer with how to escape in stealth here. Before he had time to think too much, the fastest werewolf of the orcs swooped in behind him, dodging their first wave of attacks with a light jump.

There was a delusion that the werewolves hadn't killed him just now, and that they didn't have sharp weapons in their hands...... But the thought was fleeting. They are lackeys of the Dark Alliance, how can they show mercy to my men?, Qingkong no longer hesitated, and jumped high and punched at the orcs closest to him. The heavy leather armor and rough skin of the orc made his heavy punch lethal, but the strong force still made the tall beast force back several steps. Qingkong didn't dwell too much with them, and when he got the chance, he ran towards the ancient tree.

"Deer, come out quickly!" shouted as he repelled several orcs who had surrounded him, and immediately ran to the ancient tree.

As if hearing the command, the ancient tree twitched its huge branches and began to rise slowly, and the sky continued to repel the orcs who had swarmed again, but he gradually felt a little difficult to support.

Sure enough, when the branches of the ancient tree were fully unfolded, the deer was curled up inside, its golden hair scattered, and its face was terrified.

"Lu'er, come out quickly!" shouted Qingkong anxiously.

He found that there were more and more orcs, and he should have received a signal to come from all directions. But there was no response after a commotion behind him, and when he turned around, he found Lu'er looking pained.

"Little Empty ...... Brother," Lu'er whispered, "my calves...... It hurts...... Unable...... Stand. She turned to her side, and she noticed that her calf was red, as if it was injured. This is undoubtedly bad news like a thunderbolt from the sky, and the deer is so painful that it is difficult to stand, let alone run. But for now, in addition to escaping from here, it is to hide in this ancient tree, which means that as long as this group of orcs keeps outside, they can be trapped here. But do they have any other options?

Qingkong immediately decided, "Lu'er, quickly let the ancient tree put down its branches!"

The deer understood what he meant, and she asked the ancient tree to put the branch down once more through the story.

The huge branches landed slowly, and the blood-red eyes of the orcs began to rush into the sky like madness. After struggling to repel the orcs that had pounced on him, he watched where the branches had landed.

"Brother Xiaokong, come in!" Lu'er shouted anxiously when she saw the branches of the ancient tree and immediately surrounded her.

He glanced sideways, and the branches were about to touch the ground. So, he immediately turned around, and rolled sideways to the ground and the tip of the branch into the shelter of the ancient tree. The next second he entered, the branches of the ancient tree as hard as metal were tightly clasped into the ground.

We were safe, and I thought to myself as I heard the countless crashes and roars outside. Not only are the branches of this thousand-year-old tree as hard as metal, but the resin and bark in the branches have dried up for hundreds of years, and even the orcs can't ignite them with fire.

But as he looked around the small space, he asked himself again, are we really safe? There is no water, no food, not even a light here, and it only takes a few days for them to starve or die of thirst here.

"I'm sorry...... Brother Sora...... "Lu'er whispered, "It's me who has caused you to be trapped here." Lu'er saw Qingkong's concern and said reproachfully.

Lu'er's voice brought him back to reality, and Qingkong forced himself to smile comfortingly, "It's not your fault, how could I blame you? Oh, by the way, let me see your injuries." He suddenly remembered the red on the deer's calf.

Without saying a word, he immediately walked over to the deer curled up there, sat down beside her, and carefully lifted her calves up on his own. Then he tore the pants that had been red with blood, and after seeing the wound, Qingkong exhaled a slight breath of cold air.

A striking wound on the snow-white skin, a full five centimeters long, due to the rupture of the wound, the surrounding green silk-like blood vessels highlighted, making the original white and tender calves slightly purple.

"What's going on?" Qingkong's tone was both distressed and angry.

"I'm ...... Waiting for you, can ...... Who knew that a few werewolves suddenly appeared, I ...... I couldn't dodge and was caught in the shin by them. Lu'er's face turned crimson, because her legs were being held in her empty hands.

"These damn monsters!" Aoku listened to the howls of the ancient trees outside the shelter, and was eager to rush out and let them pay for their lives.

There was no water, no way to clean the wound, let alone apply medicine. Qingkong looked at the deer, and the little girl was already a little tired by this time, closing her eyes tightly and letting out a steady breath. He carefully laid her legs flat and walked to the root of the ancient tree to lean against the trunk, then rested her head on his chest. Qingkong looked up at the top of his head, and looking at the tops of the trees that could not be seen made him feel an inexplicable fear. He didn't know what to do now, how to get out of here...... The chaos of his thoughts and the exhaustion of his body made him slowly close his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice to the ancient tree behind him, "Thank you for your protection......"

I don't know how long it took for Sky to wake up again, and a cacophony could still be heard outside the shelter, with occasional crashing sounds and giant claw scratching sounds. He didn't expect to wake up to be quiet outside, which would be more troublesome, because he didn't know if it was a trap laid for him by the orcs, but he wouldn't give up that opportunity.

The light around him was already a little brighter, and he knew that it should be night. One of the characteristics of this forest is that the night will be brighter than the day, and perhaps the moonlight will be more aware of the pain of darkness.

The deer in his arms clutched the placket of his chest at some point, as if he had a nightmare. Qingkong's expression was a little nervous, because he noticed that the deer in his arms was trembling slightly, and he really couldn't feel it if he didn't look closely.

"Deer...... Lu'er ......" Qingkong was anxious, but still called softly.

But Lu'er still didn't respond, and Qingkong knew that this was more serious than he thought. He put his hand on the deer's forehead, the hot touch, the pale face and the somewhat cloudy pupils, all these signs made him even more worried. Qingkong carefully placed the injured calf in his hand, only to find that the wound had turned from red to a terrifying black purple.

Poisoning, infection, whatever the case, can't be solved by yourself. He began to blame himself for being useless, blaming himself......

What's the use of blaming yourself at this time?! The voice of the scholar of Muyuan University echoed in the bottom of his heart. yes, what's the use of blaming yourself at this time? Qingkong no longer blamed himself, and he began to think of a way to solve it.

"Little Empty ...... Brother ...... "Lu'er finally woke up, but his weak voice made him feel distressed.

"Lu'er, I'm here. Qingkong gently straightened her messy hair with his hands.

"Brother Xiaokong, I have a request......" Lu'er sat up with difficulty, looking at his calf without a little surprise.

Qingkong nodded, vaguely feeling a bad premonition.

"I ...... I hope you, leave me alone, and rely on your strength, brother......"

"No," Qingkong interrupted Lu'er softly, he knew what she wanted to say, "Let me leave you to live alone? You're already ...... for me It's already a family member, so don't say that again. ”

"Home...... "The deer is happy, but powerless to express it.

Qingkong nodded heavily, "Lu'er, don't worry, Brother Xiaokong will take you home no matter what." ”

Lu'er believed that she had always believed in the sky, but this time she didn't have enough confidence.

"Yes...... Where are we coming from?" Lu'er's voice was full of despair. She knew she was stuck here because of her injuries.

The sky crowded her, looking overhead.

"...... above," he said in a deep voice, looking at the trunk of the ancient tree that looked like a stairway to the sky.
