Chapter 2 Metamorphosis

The sturdy Wind Horse whitted through the jungle with an old man and a young man, but judging by the white foam at the corners of its mouth and the sound of heavy, irregular breathing, it couldn't hold out for long

Finally, at a certain moment, its forelimbs could no longer withstand the heavy pressure brought by the landing, its front hooves fell to the ground uncontrollably, the impact of inertia made it rush forward, and the old man on the back of the foal lifted the white-clothed young man into the air, and then fell lightly in front of the kneeling white dragon foal

Seeing his master coming, the white dragon horse struggled to get up, but his twitching forelimbs no longer listened to it

The old man in plain clothes shook his hand casually, and a water hose appeared in his hand, he pulled out the water plug and poured the water down the nostrils of the white dragon horse, washed off the white foam on the side of its mouth, and then fed it some water, the old man gently stroked the head of the foal, and said softly

"Rest for a while and leave alone, maybe you can still live, you have done your best, you don't have to follow us to death again"

With that, he turned around and left with the young man in white. All that was left was the sound of mournful screams behind him

Two hours later, the old man dodged and jumped into a dense group of towering ancient trees, he sent the boy into the jungle for a distance and then turned back, and then held his breath and fell on the thick branches of an ancient tree, and in a few moments, a majestic goshawk roared down from the sky

At this moment, the old man casually beckoned a dead branch, the dead branch gradually became alive in his hands, like a dead tree in spring, and then the tip of the branch erupted a faint golden light, he threw it hard, and the dead branch flew away against the whistling goshawk

The goshawk reacted in the blink of an eye, seeing that it could not escape, feeling the extreme danger coming from the dead branch, and after a high-pitched hoof roar, it adjusted its posture to avoid the vital point at the last moment, and then opened its sharp claws to try to crush the dead wood that flew in, but it still underestimated the sharpness of the dead branch

The moment it made contact with the dead branch, its claws were pierced, and the dead wood continued to lose its strength, breaking through its abdomen and pulling out a string of blood, but the goshawk's vitality was really vigorous, and it was about to rush into the air between its wings, but the figure of the old man appeared above it like a ghost, and raised his hand to grab its sharp beak

A dark energy came, although the goshawk's head was complete, but the inside of the skull had been shattered, and it flapped its wings twice weakly, and it was lifeless

After solving the eyeliner that he was pursuing, the old man quickly rushed into the jungle, and at a glance he saw the young man leaning on the root of the tree, his empty eyes seemed to be out of focus, and his pale face seemed to be riddled with a serious illness

The old man shook his head helplessly, took out water and cooked food from the space ring and handed them to the young man, who took the water and stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it, as if everything this body did had nothing to do with him

"This is a well-planned conspiracy, Luo Yuncheng dares to collude with the demon clan, it must be a foolproof strategy to do not leave a living, you are the most talented one among your brothers and sisters, the Ye City Lord mobilized the most elite guards to entrust me to escort you to a safe place, just to leave a little hope for the Ye family, so as not to make this blood feud become an unsolved case that no one cares about"

As the old man's deep voice came, two lines of tears flowed from the young man's eyes, he was no longer as emotionless as a walking corpse who had lost his soul, and he recalled pictures in his mind

"Qiu'er, quickly follow your uncles to break through, he will send you to a safe place, maybe your father and mother will not be able to accompany you in the future, but you must be a man like your father, be strong, and live well"

He couldn't forget the mother who was covered with blood and dyed a bloody red dress, the hoarse cry and the reluctant eyes

He couldn't forget that his father, who was besieged and killed by the Luoyun City Lord and the Tiger King of the Demon Tiger Clan, had claw marks on his chest that reached deep to the bone, which were left by the Tiger King's claws

He couldn't forget that the clansmen were almost killed and injured by the combined efforts of the Demon Tiger Clan and the powerhouses of Luoyun City, and battles broke out everywhere in the city, and blood stained this usually peaceful and lively city

He chewed the food in his mouth desperately, but his throat seemed to be blocked, he couldn't swallow it, tears mixed with food, his mouth made a low whimpering sound, he was like a wounded beast, his hands desperately scratched at the roots, and his arms were bruised

"Cry, cry to your heart's content, vent the bitterness in your chest, but you must know that after you cry this scene, you must cheer up, you are the last hope of the Ye family, if you think you can't bear it, I will also do my best to send you to a safe place with my last breath, from now on, you will be an ordinary person, silently licking your wounds, and I did not live up to the city lord's orders, leaving a blood for the Ye family"

"Qiu'er, live well"

Thinking of her mother's last words, she didn't let herself remember the hatred, nor did she pass on the despair to him, she only hoped that he could live well, this was the purest love, the greatest family affection, Ye Wuqiu could no longer control herself

He felt a fury that seemed to ignite his internal organs, and the hatred turned into a sharp hammer, piercing his heart continuously, and the pain in his heart made him almost lose his mind, his eyes gradually turned blood-red, and his chest rose and fell violently, and he let out a heavy gasping sound

The old man on the side was not as calm as he appeared, his fists were clenched, and his heart was secretly anxious, but he knew that the young man was facing this great change, and there was a deep hatred in his heart, but he fled all the way, and he didn't have time or time to help him sort out his emotions

Looking at the young man's increasingly empty eyes, he knew that if he continued to hold back, the young man would definitely be swayed by the emotions in his heart and become delirious, so even if he was in danger now, he had to let him vent

It's just that this sea of blood is deep, can he bear it alone as a young man who has not been deeply involved in the world? The old man really has no bottom, he wants to help him, but he can't start, he has watched the boy grow up since he was a child, the boy is extremely talented, he is a good seedling of cultivation, he is lively and does not have the bad temperament of the son, he is a likable child

The old man has no children and no daughters, although he does not have the name of master and apprentice with the young man, but he does treat him as a disciple, he does not want the young man to collapse and become a soulless walking corpse, but there are some things that others cannot persuade, so he can only bear it on his own, he silently prayed that the young man could survive the second catastrophe

"These damn troubled times"

Listening to the piercing eagle whistle from high in the sky, the old man knew that the enemy was coming, and there was not much time left for them, and they must not fall into the encirclement of the enemy, otherwise the chance of escape would be greatly reduced, but he did not wake up the young man who was still in madness

"There is no endless road, the so-called desperate road is just a person who gives up the hope of life in a desperate situation, whether you can take you to kill a way out of a desperate situation is the old man's business, and whether you can kill a way out of your own desperate situation can only rely on yourself, if you can, the old man will die for you to kill the sky, if defeated, this barren jungle is just two more dry bones, often accompanied by green mountains and green waters, to a good place to return"

The old man smiled a little self-deprecatingly, people often say that there is no major matter except life and death, but the death of his best friend, those who have been with him for many years and regarded as brothers and sisters have also fallen in a pool of blood. It turns out that what is more terrible than death is a hopeless future

"Zhu Wuwei, you and the thief in Nanyu City have no way to live, why do you still have to fight to the death? Why don't you tie your hands and arrest you, I promise to give you a good time, and suffer less torture, if you resist stubbornly, I will definitely smoke your souls, roast them on the blazing fire for three days and three nights, practice your corpses, and whip three thousand times a day."

A rough shout woke up the old man who was pondering, he knew that the owner of this voice was Luo Yun City's number two person Rakshasa, and he was also one of the main people who chased and killed him on this trip, he had the confidence to win one-on-one, but with the Tiger Clan and Luo Yun City, and he had to protect Ye Wuqiu, once he fell into the siege, he would have no chance of winning

Glancing at the young man beside him, the old man smiled freely, only to die

"But even if I die, I need to see me off"

As the old man's muttering voice came, his seemingly small body burst out with an earth-shattering battle intent in an instant, his hair was windless and automatic, and gradually, a small tree appeared in the center of his eyebrows, the small tree was entangled in blue and gold, both strong life force and full of sharpness, the small tree seemed to pierce the eyebrows, and the blue and gold slowly flowed down from the roots of the tree at this time, swimming along his twelve veins, and in an instant it was all over the body

As the veins were covered in blue and gold, his somewhat old body seemed to be back to his prime at the moment, full of vitality, his bones, blood, and flesh were a little golden light, and the golden light overflowed his skin, wrapping his whole person with a faint golden yellow, at this time he was like an out-of-body sword, full of dangerous aura, and could give the enemy a blow of destruction at any time

"Old thing, do you think I'm going to give you a chance to break the net? Besides, how much soul power does it cost you so much? Since you don't know what to do, although this western wilderness is big, I will also let you know what it means to have no door to heaven and no way to go down."

Sensing the old man's dangerous aura, the voice of the rakshasa came from a distance, and with his order, the team began to retreat quickly and orderly, and the goshawk in the sky circled above the jungle again

The old man rose against the wind, and was about to take advantage of the enemy's retreat to deal a heavy blow, but the young man's resolute voice came from behind him

"Uncle, since the enemy is unwilling to fight with us, this gives us a chance to escape, we should take this opportunity to distance ourselves from them, if we let them complete the encirclement, we are afraid that we will really be consumed here."

The old man turned around and looked at the young man in front of him, his face was still pale, but the unyielding look in his eyes made his whole person seem to have completed a transformation, this is a transformation of the state of mind, from an immature teenager to an adult, but this growth is too cruel, it is the crown of flesh and blood of relatives and clansmen

"But there's hope, isn't it? Since you can survive it, how can the old man give up?"

The haze that shrouded the old man's heart was swept away, and he knew that he was going to escort the young man to a safe place and leave the Ye family with the seeds of hope, even if it cost him to pieces
