Chapter 14: Escape and Ascension

The night shrouded the land, and among the mountains and forests, there was a faint light of fire swaying, but it seemed that it would be extinguished at any time.

Darkness, pain.

Emptiness and weakness permeated every corner of Han Ling's body that he could perceive.

When Han Ling slowly opened his incomparably weighing eyelids, he found that he was lying on Xuan'er's soft thighs, covered with Xuan'er's coat, and there was a trace of Xuan'er's faint body fragrance on it. Xuan'er stared blankly at the bonfire burning in front of her at this time, and gently placed her hands on Han Ling's chest.

Han Ling endured the pain and reached out to gently hold the small hands on his chest.

Xuan'er couldn't help but tremble, she couldn't help crying, but her godless eyes still welled up with tears.

"I'm sorry for your hard work. Han Ling's weak voice came, and Xuan'er couldn't hold back any longer, and tears slipped down like a burst.

"I'm sorry, I left my father, the elders, and everyone......!

Seeing Xuan'er like this, Han Ling's heart was also sour, he could imagine the pressure in Xuan'er's heart at the moment. Han Ling slowly propped up his broken body and gently took the crying Xuan'er into his arms.

"Xuan'er, one day, we will definitely go back, and our family will definitely be reunited again. ”

"Hmmm......"

"Ahem......"

"You've been in a coma for five days straight, so lie down and don't move. Xuan'er reluctantly gently pushed Han Ling away.

Han Ling didn't resist, as long as he moved slightly, he was in pain all over his body now, and the Netherworld Qi in his body was extremely disordered, which made it impossible for him to suck Netherworld Qi from between heaven and earth anymore, not to mention, with Han Ling's current physical condition, any impact could break him apart.

"Are you hungry?" asked Xuan'er softly.

Han Ling shook his head, just looked at Xuan'er's somewhat haggard face lightly, the tranquility at this time was not easy to obtain, and after tonight, they were going to embark on an endless escape journey.

Woo......

The wolf's howl came.

"Save ...... Help me. A cry for help ensued.

On the other side of the hill, there was a team of six people, but the situation was not optimistic.

In front of them were the corpses of several wolves, and behind those corpses were dozens of hideous-looking wild wolves, and the eyes of the wolves looked extremely fierce and gloomy in the moonlight.

Among these six people, five of them were ground-level beginner-level underworlds, and one of them looked the weakest, but he had a light blue pattern on his left wrist, and he was a contractor.

At this time, the five people surrounded the contractor in the center, forming a protective momentum, and they all had some injuries on their bodies.

"Protect the son, evacuate, if you stay any longer, there will be more and more of these wolves. The first big man spoke.

"Damn! I didn't even have time to extract a beast soul! This trip was in vain!"

"Don't worry, Childe, stay in Qingshan, and there will naturally be opportunities in the future. Alright, brothers, prepare to withdraw!"

The strong man's voice fell, and the six-person team also began to evacuate in an orderly manner, although the son was willful, he also knew the seriousness of the matter, and he didn't dare to hold it up. Seeing the six people retreating, those wild wolves also surrounded them, but they did not attack, as if they were waiting for something.

"Something is wrong. Seeing the wolf's behavior, the strong man also frowned.

The yin wind blew, and the next moment, the bodies of those wild wolves instantly swelled in a circle, and in their eyes, killing intent was permeated, and their sharp teeth glowed with a cold glow in the moonlight. At the same time, a strong figure shot out of the forest with a "whoosh".

"Wolf King! Ground level high-level! Retreat!"

The six of them didn't have the slightest idea of fighting against this wolf king, but they didn't say that he had the strength of a high-level earth-level, and the ordinary wild wolves behind him also had the strength to fight against the ground-level beginner-level underworld with the blessing of the wolf king's breath.

This is almost a dead end.

"Protect Childe and swear to break through!"

In this case, it is almost impossible to avoid casualties.

The wolves had already launched an offensive under the leadership of the wolf king, but it was not the kind of head-on hard pounce. The wolf king was approaching a few people in front of them, so that they could not relax, and at this time, the other wild wolves also surrounded the six of them in a surrounding situation, and when the encirclement was formed, the wolf king would definitely launch a deadly attack.

The six of them felt bad, but there was nothing they could do, in terms of speed, how could the humans in this forest fight against the beasts of the same strength.

"Then the wolf king, I'll stop you! You break through! You must protect your son!" the strong man roared.

"Yes!"

As if sensing the intention of the six, the wolf king took the lead in storming out and pounced on the strong man at the front.

The dark yellow netherworld power wrapped around the strong man's giant hammer, and then, with a fearless momentum, swung towards the wolf king who pounced.

Boom!

The strong impact spread, and the strong man's body flew sideways in the next second, and the wolf king only took a few steps back, and this time the battle was already lost.

"How can it be so strong! It's just a high-level ground. The strong man muttered to himself.

Seeing that the humans who posed the greatest threat to them were only a single group, the wolves roared at the same time, and then pounced on them from all directions.

The moonlight is still the same, but at this time, everyone is looking at the extremely cold and dead silence.

Whew-

A pale yellow light figure swept by, and it came above a few people, and then, with a wave of his finger, the pale yellow circle of light shrouded in the five people, and the wild wolves that pounced were bounced aside by a brutal force in the next moment.

The girl fell slowly, the green silk drooped, and her somewhat haggard beautiful face had a trace of pitiful beauty under the moonlight.

"Fairy!" the boy exclaimed, but the girl did not even look back at his shout, and her eyes fell on the wolf king.

"Xuan'er, just solve that wolf king. Not far away in the woods, the voice of the young man came.

Xuan'er nodded, turned into a rainbow light and rushed towards the wolf king.

After hearing the cry for help, the two put out the bonfire and quietly leaned over here, they didn't want to rescue, but now the two are escaping and have to be careful. If there was a hint of suspicion in the people in front of them, the two would retreat without question. And the reason why he made a move was because Han Ling saw that the strong man was alone against the wolf king in order to protect the others.

The wolf king roared angrily and rushed towards Xuan'er with his claws.

Han Ling watched quietly from a distance, he hadn't seen Xuan'er make a move, but he knew that the strength of this little girl who had been staying quietly by his side was not weaker than him.

Xuan'er's body was erratic, and the wolf king couldn't catch it at all, and the sword in her hand was glowing, and every time she slashed, it would leave a wound on the wolf king's body.

As the blood on the wolf king's body increased, his eyes were also dyed blood-red.

"Girl, be careful! the wolf king is going berserk!" the strong man was very close, so he saw such a change in the wolf king.

It's just that Xuan'er turned a deaf ear to his reminder, and at the moment when the wolf king pounced on her, she leaned over, and the sword went straight to the throat of the wolf king.

Poof!

The pale yellow light rushed into the sky, directly penetrating the neck of the wolf king. And the blood-red color in the wolf king's eyes also faded in an instant, and the raised claws slowly fell.

Xuan'er put away her sword and didn't look at the corpse of the wolf king anymore.

The momentum of those wild wolves weakened the moment the wolf king lost his life, and their eyes looked at Xuan'er with a trace of fear. After all, they are just ordinary beasts, and they will not do such a thing as going to death without the slightest chance of winning.

Xuan'er's figure did not stop at all, and walked to Han Ling's side and took Han Ling from the stump.

"It's still comfortable on you. Han Ling said lightly, but Xuan'er glared at him when she heard it.

This guy still has the heart to joke now, but maybe this is Han Ling, no matter how bad the situation is, he seems to be able to remain optimistic, even in the past five years that were called waste, he has never given up any hope.

"Do you like it? If you like it, you will always be able to rely on it. Xuan'er said gently.

Not far away, the boy stared at Xuan'er, but his heart was extremely excited, as for Han Ling on the side, he had already ignored him.

"Childe. The strong man came to Childe's side, only to find that his gaze was only staring in the other direction in the forest.

"Meng Wu, go and invite her back to the house, remember to treat each other politely, that can save your life. ”

Meng Wu was stunned when he heard this, could it be that the son had an epiphany. He didn't hesitate, and took a few steps to reach the two of them.

"Two. ”

"You're welcome. Han Ling said slowly.

Meng Wu got closer, only then did he realize that the aura of the young man in front of him was extremely weak, like a dead person. It's just that his face was so flat that Meng Wu couldn't help but feel a trace of admiration. Don't panic in danger, don't be afraid of death, the temperament that the emperor of people should have.

"Is there something wrong?" Seeing that Meng Wu didn't speak for a while, but just stared at Han Ling, Xuan'er frowned slightly.

"I'm sorry, that's the case, in order to thank the two for saving their lives, Gongzi wants to invite the two to the house to rest, in order to fulfill the friendship of the landlord. Meng Wu bowed and said, showing great respect for the two of them.

"Don't bother, we're just passing by, just find a place to rest nearby. ”

"Little brother doesn't know, this is the junction of the Rees Kingdom and the Holy Beast Empire, this neighborhood can be described as extremely chaotic, generally speaking, very few people dare to sleep in the open, we also took this risk to hunt the Underworld Beast for the sake of Childe, and in fact, outside here, the threat of the Underworld Beast is nothing at all. ”

"Aren't there any human cities around here?"

"There is one, and that is where our mansion is, and if the two of you are going somewhere, it is better to go with us, and take care of each other. Meng Wu said the first thing, which made Han Ling not know how to refuse for a while, and with such a condition of his body, it seemed that he should also find a place to rest.

"Well, good. Xuan'er said, but she looked at Han Ling, and the latter just nodded, "Let's go." ”

"Then I'll welcome you two on behalf of Childe. ”

"By the way, what's that city called? ”

"Arahoku County. ”
