In the mountains and forests, several figures are rushing.

"Monkey, you put me down, leave me alone, hurry up and run away with Xiaotong. I'm so old, life and death don't matter for a long time. You and Xiaotong are still young, you have to live well. Liu Er, you hurry up and let him put me down!"

"Brother Tie, don't say anything. It was you who fought to help us to the queen of the palace, and the three of us were able to escape. Now that you're injured like this, we won't leave you alone no matter what!" Under Tie Shan, a thin man carried him on his back and rushed forward lifelessly, it was Zhang Xu, the monkey in the Iron Mountain Hunter Corps.

"Yes, Brother Tie, what the monkey said is exactly what I want to say. Without you, there would be no us. Our lives are given by you, and if we want to die today, we will die together!" Beside him, Liu Er carried an iron sword, covered a hideous wound nearly a foot long on his right arm with his left hand, and gritted his teeth.

"Brother, if you are injured like this, don't speak. If you don't go, I won't go!" Beside him, a crying female voice sounded. This turned out to be a girl less than twenty years old, with a straight nose, almond-like eyes, and a watery appearance. But now his hair was messy, his pink cheeks were still stained with blood, and tears were rolling in his eyes.

Hearing this, even Tie Shan couldn't help but burst into tears, closed his eyes and said bitterly: "It's all my fault! I shouldn't have taken you there, it was I who killed so many brothers and Xiaotong." I'm useless, I'm still dragging you down. I beg you, monkey, leave me alone, and run, for we will not be able to escape, and sooner or later we will be overtaken by the brutes who deserve a thousand cuts. ”

Zhang Xu under him heard this, tears slipped from the corners of his eyes: "Brother Tie, do you think that we can escape if we leave you alone? In front of them, we will not be able to escape from this forest today no matter what." In that case, how could I leave you behind at such a time? Brother Liu is right, if you want to die, you have to die together!"

Liu Er sighed, and while being dragged by Xiao Tong and running, he mourned: "It's just that I pity Xiao Tong." I really shouldn't have brought her this time!"

Xiao Tong was about to speak, a loud roar suddenly sounded behind him, and then, the fishy wind hit, and a colorful tiger flew in, the tiger's mouth opened slightly, revealing Sensen's fangs.

"It's over. Liu Er turned his head to look at the fierce tiger in his eyes, and couldn't help but feel desperate. The first-order top demonic beast, the huge difference in strength made him feel powerless.

"Brother Tie, I, Liu Er, have taken a step first. Silently reciting in his heart, Liu Er pushed Xiao Tong forward, then pulled out the iron sword, the tiger's eyes widened, and he jumped up to meet the giant tiger that pounced: "Little Zamao, Lao Tzu fought with you!"

"Brother Liu-" Xiao Tong staggered and turned his face to shout in despair.

"Poof-" Blood flashed, and blood splashed on the trunk of a nearby tree, staining it red. Liu Er fell heavily to the ground, looking at the giant tiger in front of him who was pierced by a long knife.

"Brother Liu!" Zhang Xu in front of him hurriedly stopped and turned his head, but together with Xiaotong, like Zhang Xu, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.

"This seems to be my brother's knife!" Xiao Tong suddenly found something, took two steps forward, pointed to the long knife that pierced the giant tiger, and covered his small mouth in shock.

"This ......" Zhang Xu's eyes widened, "Could it be ......?"

"Roar-" At this moment, two first-order demonic beasts chased after him, but before the two behemoths could make a move, a ghostly figure suddenly shot out from the forest on one side.

The figure was so fast that the two first-order demonic beasts didn't react before they were already rushed in front of the figure. Immediately, both hands are fingered together like knives, and one finger is sealed in the throat.

"Boom-" The two demonic beasts fell down in despair, and only then did the figure turn around while picking up a fallen leaf to wipe the blood from his fingers.

"Xue Yi!" Three voices popped out of Tie Shan, Zhang Xu and Liu Er's mouths respectively, and they were all in unison.

"Guys, I'm frightened. I'm sorry I just found out you're in danger. Xue Yi stepped forward and said, "Are you okay?"

"We ...... Did you survive?" Liu Er seemed to be a little unable to react.

"Yes, with Brother Xue here, we can't die!" Zhang Xu was stunned for a moment, and finally jumped up excitedly.

"Little Brother Xue, I want you to save my lives again, this kind of great kindness is really beyond repayment. ”

"Brother Tie, what's wrong with you?" Xue Yi only then saw that Tie Shan was missing a leg, and blood was still flowing from the wound.

"It's hard to put into words. Several people glanced at each other, and Tie Shan sighed bitterly, shook his head, and said.

In the dense jungle, Xiaotong carefully wrapped Tie Shan's wound with gauze. It is worthy of the fourth layer of the foundation, after being so seriously injured and losing so much blood, his face is just a little paler at this moment.

During the conversation, Xue Yi also knew that Xiaotong, a girl who looked only a little older than herself, turned out to be Tie Shan's sister, but she was not biological. It is said that the girl's parents died, and she was alone, and Tieshan took pity on her, so he put up with her as his godsister, and the latter readily agreed. Tie Shan is kind-hearted, and since then he has really taken care of Xiaotong like his own sister. The brother and sister have been living together for more than two years, and Xiao Tong is very talented in cultivation, relying only on self-study and Tie Shan's teaching, he has cultivated from no foundation to the third layer of foundation building in one year. This time, the Iron Mountain Hunter Group was going to enter the mountain, and it happened to be missing Liu San, who was injured before, so Xiaotong volunteered to come together. Tie Shan couldn't resist her, so he had to let her go with her. I just didn't expect this to happen now.

After knowing Xiaotong's life experience, Xue Yi's expression couldn't help but soften a little more when he saw her. There are many similarities between her own experience and hers, and now that I hear it, it naturally resonates in my heart. And Xiao Tong seemed to be a little shy at the moment, not glancing at Xue Yi's gaze a little dodgy.

Of course, at this time, Xue Yi was all focused on what happened to everyone in Iron Mountain, so he naturally didn't notice this: "Brother Tie, what the hell is going on? How can you be hunted down by several first-order demonic beasts together?"

Xue Yi's doubts are precisely this. Under normal circumstances, even if Iron Mountain was unlucky enough to provoke a demonic beast, it would only be a demonic beast. Because most of the Warcraft like to live alone, only a few special races like to live in groups, such as the blood-red bat that was killed by themselves before. However, the three-headed demonic beasts that were killed by Xue Yi before were obviously not among them, and besides, these three belonged to different races, how could they join forces to hunt down and kill Tieshan?

Hearing Xue Yiqun's question, the faces of the four of them darkened a little, and Xiao Tong also stopped what he was doing, lowered his head, and tears flashed in his eyes.

Tie Shan said in a low voice, "This matter is a long story. About noon yesterday, a group of eight of us came to a place about fifteen miles east of this place, where we smelled a strange fragrance. Tie Shan paused, a thoughtful expression on his face. Although Xue Yi was very surprised when he heard this, he didn't interrupt without saying anything.

"The fragrance is very peculiar, with a refreshing feeling, as if it is some kind of Qiong Yao nectar, attracting people to want to get close unconsciously. Although we knew that something was wrong and that there was probably a lot of danger, we were unable to overcome our curiosity and the temptation of the scent to move closer to the direction from which the scent came. After walking for about half an hour, we discovered the source of the fragrance - it was a small valley, the valley was very quiet, but it also exuded a mysterious smell. Only then did we withdraw from the guidance of curiosity and did not rush into the deep valley. After discussion, we decided to lurk in front of the valley for the night to observe the situation. However, as the night passed, nothing unusual was found. Therefore, this morning I decided to let Zhao Xiaoliu and Xu Lian go into the valley to investigate, while the other six of us are ready to answer outside the valley. ”

Speaking of this, Tie Shan's breathing became obviously heavy, and his hands were clenched fiercely: "As a result, less than half an hour after the two of them entered the valley, there were screams. My eyes immediately turned red, and I immediately led everyone into the valley. However, before we could find the bodies of Zhao Xiaoliu and Xu Lian, more than a dozen first-order demonic beasts of various types rushed out of the valley. ”

"Dozen?" Xue Yi exclaimed. ”

"Yes, a dozen. At the same time, I also felt several lurking terrifying aura, if my guess was correct, there must be more than one second-level demonic beast in the valley. ”

Hearing this, Xue Yi's face also became solemn. The map that Tie Shan had given him before hadn't marked that place, but Xue Yi was sure that it wasn't easy. What was the source of that strange fragrance that could attract several second-order demonic beasts and more than a dozen first-order demonic beasts?

"Faced with this situation, we are all desperate. Li Dazhu and Yin Mu were quickly killed by those brutes. While desperately protecting the monkey, Liu Er, and Xiaotong, I desperately ran away from the valley. Fortunately, these first-order demonic beasts were not all first-order top-notch demonic beasts, so I tried my best to protect them from escaping at the cost of serious injuries. It's just that they didn't expect that they still refused to give up, and the three demonic beasts still chased after each other until you came to the rescue, Little Brother Xue. Tie Shan leaned weakly against the trunk of the tree behind him and said dejectedly.

Xue Yi was silent for a long time, pacing back and forth in the forest for a few times, and finally made up his mind: "Brother Tie, I'm going to go there and have a look." ”

"Don't!" Unsurprisingly, the four of them objected in unison.

"Brother Xue, there is an abnormal danger, I don't know how many demonic beasts are lurking, even if you have a unique skill, I'm afraid you can't guarantee that you will be able to retreat!" Liu Er stood up and said excitedly.

"Everyone. Xue Yi held up the blazing blade in his hand and said, "When I accepted Brother Tie's weapon, I promised you that I would not let it be dusty, and I also promised Brother Tie. Eradicate these dangerous monsters for the hunters of Mofeng Town. Now that you have suffered heavy losses, and you have even lost four brothers, how can I, Xue Yi, be greedy for life and afraid of death, and not go to find out? Such a deep feud in the sea of blood, I will definitely let them repay the blood debt and blood, so that I can repay the kindness of Brother Tie for giving the sword. You know, in the nearly two months of fighting, this knife has saved my life more than once. ”

As soon as these righteous indignant words came out, everyone was silent, and Xiao Tong's eyes flashed with a strange brilliance, and he didn't know what he was thinking. After a long time, Tie Shan raised his head, faced Xue Yi, and said solemnly, "You must come back well." ”

"Come back well!" Liu San and Zhang Xu both said solemnly one after another.

"Definitely. Xue Yi nodded firmly.

"This amulet is given to you, and you take it with you, and you will keep it safe. Xiao Tong suddenly stepped forward at this time and stretched out his hand to stuff something to Xue Yi. Xue Yi was stunned, and subconsciously took it, which turned out to be a small and delicate peach pit pendant.

Looking at this scene, Tie Shan and the others were obviously stunned for a moment, and when they saw the peach pit pendant clearly, Tie Shan couldn't help but cry and laugh: Wasn't this what he gave to Xiaotong when he recognized her as his sister?

Feeling the three smiling eyes around her, Xiao Tongqiao's face flushed, and she ran away. This made Xue Yi embarrassed. Although he was still only fifteen years old, there were some emotions that he could still touch.

"Ahem-" Looking at Xue Yi's face, which was also starting to turn red, Tie Shan had to cough dryly twice, and said, "Little brother, take care all the way, don't worry about us anymore." Although our strength has been greatly damaged, as long as we no longer encounter demonic beasts, ordinary beasts will still pose no threat. Go with confidence. ”

"Hmm. Xue Yi nodded hurriedly, clenched his fists heavily, then clenched the pendant in his hand, and quickly turned around and disappeared into the vast forest.

"Since ancient times, young people have been empty and amorous. It's a pity that he doesn't have the ambition to do this. Looking at Xue Yi's back, Tie Shan sighed softly.
