Midsummer, dusk.

Di's tribe.

"Hmm..."

When Yeyun opened his heavy eyelids with all his strength, he was greeted by a simple but neat earthen room.

The familiar scene made him stunned, and then he turned his head, and sure enough, he saw that in the room, there was a petite girl sitting at the wooden table.

"Ziyou..."

Looking at this figure, Yeyun hurriedly raised his spirit and whispered.

"Ahh Brother, you're finally awake. ”

Hearing the scream, the girl immediately turned her head and was overjoyed to see the night clouds that had opened her eyes.

The girl, who was about twelve years old, stepped forward and held Yeyun's hand tightly, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was like a blooming lotus flower, which could not be closed for a long time.

"Ziyou, I'm sorry for worrying you."

Yeyun touched Xia Ziyou's head and smiled, his eyes full of doting.

"It's okay brother, it's good that you're safe, food or anything is not as important as life, next time don't risk protecting the food, they want to go with them, my brother is still alive, Ziyou is very happy."

Xia Ziyou snuggled in Yeyun's arms with her eyes closed, a tear flowed from the corner of her eyes, and Yeyun hugged her tightly.

In the Great Wilderness, the environment is harsh and resources are scarce, and the people of many tribes live a life of hunger every day, so burning, killing and looting occur from time to time, and for the weak Yeyun and his sister, they can only choose to compromise in this situation.

But the repeated endurance made Yeyun finally break out this time, and the result can be imagined, and he was directly beaten and fainted.

"It's strange, except that I haven't recovered my consciousness yet, how can all the injuries on my body be healed?"

As if sensing what was happening to him, Yeyun raised his eyebrows and began to examine his body, puzzled in his heart.

"Couldn't it be!"

Yeyun suddenly thought of something, Yeyun reached into his arms, and a coolness came from there, and then Yeyun took out a strange barren stone from his arms.

"Could it be that this desolate rock made me recover from my injuries?" Nightcloud placed it on the table and examined it carefully

"Brother, what is this?" Xia Ziyou asked curiously.

"This... I don't really understand, brother..."

This barren stone was accidentally discovered by Yeyun when he went out to collect medicine before, and because of its unique material, he had never seen it before, so he brought it back driven by curiosity.

This peculiar barren stone, crystal clear, angular shape, extremely beautiful, about the size of a baby's palm, its surface presents a layer of gorgeous golden crystal and engraved with majestic dragon-shaped stripes.

"It should be for this barren stone, I didn't expect the stone I accidentally picked up to save my life, it's really a good baby, it should be worth a lot of food."

Yeyun smiled heartily, and then took it into his arms again.

"Bang!"

Just as Yeyun was thinking about what to do with the barren stone, the dilapidated wooden door of the earth cultivation house was kicked open, shattered in half and fell to the ground, and a burly middle-aged man walked in.

"Night clouds? You're still alive, I wanted to come over and get rid of your sister, and then clean up here and give a few pigs to live in, hahaha. The middle-aged man laughed wildly.

Looking at the fierce middle-aged man in front of her, Xia Ziyou looked a little scared, but she was only twelve years old and still stood up and stood in front of Yeyun.

My brother is still very weak now, and the family can only rely on me!

"Brother Li Zhu, our family really has little food left, can we raise our noble hand and let it go... Spare my brother and me, and the next time the tribe distributes food, we are willing to give a part. ”

Xia Ziyou tried her best to keep her tone steady, but her whole body was constantly trembling, like a flower swaying alone in the cold wind, and she felt helpless.

"Humph! I'm not here today for food, but for you, so come with me. ”

After saying that, Li Zhu smiled evilly, strode towards Xia Ziyou, stretched out his rough hand and wanted to grab Xia Ziyou, and a thick look of greed appeared in his eyes.

Xia Ziyou was finally completely frightened by Li Zhu, and the tears of Dou Da flowed involuntarily, and he instinctively whispered: "Brother... Elder brother. ”

At this moment, Yeyun strode forward, stretched out his hand, and took Xia Ziyou into his arms, lowered his head to look at the young Xia Ziyou, then took a deep breath, and said to Li Zhu calmly: "Brother Li Zhu, there are still two bags of coarse grain at home, you can take them, and they will be my gift to you." ”

"My sister has always been gentle and well-behaved, and she has never done anything bad in the neighborhood, so if there is anything that offends Brother Li Zhu, I still hope for Haihan."

With that, Yeyun took out two packets of grain from a dilapidated cabinet and handed them to Li Zhu

"Bang!"

Unexpectedly, Li Zhu directly slapped the two bags of grain with one palm, causing the ground to be sprinkled with rice grains of different sizes.

"Don't!"

Xia Ziyou exclaimed in surprise when he saw this, and wanted to bend down to pick up the scattered coarse grains, but he was pulled back by Yeyun.

"Li Zhu... Big brother, can you ask, why did you take You'er away? ”

Yeyun tried his best to calm his tone, but the constantly trembling body and clenched fists all showed the rage in his heart.

"Hey, how can you be smart at this time, you continue to resist, hahaha, a waste, you have to know that I am a noble warrior, and my cultivation is the triple level of the Yuan Quenching Realm, which is the foundation of the strength of the tribe to survive, do you really think that I will lack your food?"

"Smack!"

Li Zhu laughed wildly and slapped Yeyun out with one palm, he seemed to enjoy the helplessness of others.

The initial stage of martial arts is the sevenfold Yuan Quenching, from low to high, they are, Qi Induction Realm, Brute Meat Realm, Leopard Tendon Realm, Tiger Bone Realm, Dragon Marrow Realm, Golden Blood Realm, and Innocent Realm. The higher you go, the more difficult it is to cultivate, and a martial artist who has reached the Innocent Realm can increase his lifespan by several decades more than a mortal, so it has always been a dream realm in the hearts of many martial artists.

The so-called warrior is a martial artist who can reach the Yuan Quenching Realm three or above cultivation, and most of the people in the tribe only have the Yuan Quenching Realm one level Qi Induction Realm cultivation, and the same is true for Yeyun.

"Since you want to know, I'm not afraid to tell you that the young patriarch of our tribe needs a group of maids, and as long as someone in the tribe is willing to sacrifice a girl whose bone age is not more than eighteen years old, he can get a rich reward."

"Many families have exchanged their girls for fine food, you know, there are wild beast meat and rare wine, and there are a lot of them!"

After hearing Li Zhu's words, Yeyun and Xia Ziyou's faces turned cold.

Di Yan, the young patriarch of the Di tribe, has unfathomable strength but is cold-blooded and cruel, whether it is a woman from this tribe or other tribes, if it falls into his hands, she will either be tortured to death or killed by adultery, and none of them will end well.

Although I don't know why Di Yan wanted to collect a group of women with great fanfare this time, the consequences of these women can be imagined.

"Although your sister is a little malnourished, she is beautiful in appearance, and she will definitely be able to exchange for a lot of fine food, hahaha."

Li Zhu laughed proudly, he took three steps and made two steps, and then came to Xia Ziyou.

"Come with me!" Li Zhu shouted.

"Ahh

Xia Ziyou's small arm was grabbed by Li Zhu fiercely, and the pain swept through him instantly, and he was stunned.

"Nope! What are you going to take my sister for? Give my sister back! ”

Yeyun shook his head vigorously, and his weak body suddenly burst out with infinite power, roaring and rushing towards Xia Ziyou to catch her, to touch her again, to protect her like before.

"Bang!"

However, the truth is cruel, Yeyun was directly kicked by Li Zhu and flew several meters and hit the wall of the earthen embryo room, shaking the curtain of dust, and the sound of sternum breaking was so harsh in this small earthen embryo room.

Looking at Yeyun who was prostrate on the ground, spitting blood, Li Zhu snorted coldly: "Hmph, I don't know whether I live or die, I was in a good mood today, and I don't want to make things difficult for you, but since you are bent on death, then don't blame me!" ”

After saying that, he put down the hand holding Xia Ziyou, and walked towards the fallen Yeyun viciously, surrounded by muscles and dragons, and his blood was surging, as if he was really angry.

"Let my brother go, or I'll kill myself, and you don't want to exchange me for food."

At this moment, Xia Ziyou said loudly to Li Zhu, she was holding a sharp stone knife in her hand, aiming at her neck, as if she was about to stab at any moment.

"If you're dead, I won't let him go." Li Zhu turned his head and sneered.

"At least... At least let me stay with him for a few more days, and I'll be honest with you in a few days. Xia Ziyou looked at the seriously injured Yeyun and said softly.

"Son... Remote... Don't—" Nightcloud fell to the ground and roared with difficulty.

After a moment of silence, Li Zhu closed his eyes and sighed: "Alas, it's not fun, so let's let you stay with your short-lived waste brother for a while, but it's only three days, and three days later is the day when the tribe will send food, and the young patriarch will also appear at that time, don't regret it when the time comes, follow me honestly to the young patriarch, otherwise I will let you live and not die, hahaha." ”

Then Li Zhu stepped forward and patted Xia Ziyou lightly on the shoulder, and after smiling evilly, he left the earthen embryo room, and Xia Ziyou also hurriedly walked up to check the condition of Yeyun.

"Brother, how are you, brother, don't scare you'er, woo."

At this time, Yeyun had passed out, and only Xia Zi's helpless crying was left in the entire earthen embryo room.

However, what everyone didn't notice was that on Yeyun's chest, an area about the size of a baby's palm was blooming with golden light.

......

In a dark space, Night Cloud opened his eyes.

"I'm here... Where? ”

There was silence around the night clouds, and in front of him was a strange stone that shone with golden runes.

"This is? That peculiar barren rock? ”

Yeyun is now a little confused about reality, whether he is alive or dead.

Suddenly, the runic light of the strange stone bloomed outward, and then wisps of light emanated from the strange stone and merged into Yeyun's body.

An immense energy swept over Nightcloud's body in the most reckless way.

"Ahhhh

Yeyun curled up and clung to his head, he felt as if his brain was going to be devoured and torn apart, his body as if it was about to be crushed by a giant wheel.

"Nope! I still have to settle accounts with Li Zhu's beast, and I have to take my sister out of the wilderness to see the outside world, how can I die like this, I'm not reconciled! ”

Nightcloud didn't know how to alleviate this pain, and could only endure it through willpower.

Finally, at some point, the pain subsided, and the dark space faded away.

......
