A temporary settlement of major families outside the barren forest.

More than 300 stone tablets engraved with the list of contestants were quietly suspended in mid-air, and the crystal brilliance flowed and shone brightly, looking like dazzling jade floating in the air. From the first day of the life and death fight, there were constantly stone plaques shattering, which meant that the corresponding contestants fell in the barren forest arena.

Every time the stone plaque collapses, it will be exchanged for bursts of sighs and the grief of the family to which it belongs.

Especially during the adaptation period in the first two days, the stone tablets were broken one after another, and there were forty of them, which made some of the principals of the family collapse several times!

Fortunately, two days later, the number of fragments dropped dramatically.

But just today...... On the fourth day of the life-and-death battle, a stone plaque in the Debussy family area suddenly clicked, and the glow was dim.

"That's ...... Denzel?!" The patriarch of the Debussy family's face changed drastically, and the elders of the clan walked over quickly, staring at the stone tablet tightly, the fine cracks piercing their nerves like sharp knives, and a heart almost rose to their throats, for fear that it would collapse entirely.

At the same time, the stone plaque representing Tang Yan was slightly dim, but there was no crack, and as time continued, the stone plaque regained its brilliance, as if nothing had happened just now.

Niya and the others stared at the stone plaque for a moment, and they were really shocked into a cold sweat.

"The shattered stone plaque means that Denzel has been hit hard?!Who can hurt him like this?" Debussy's clan elders had ugly faces, Denzel was the hope of the family, practicing ground-level martial arts, he had already reached the peak of the martial arts, and he was cautious by nature, even if he encountered a big accident, he should be able to deal with it, how could this happen? or on the fourth day of the start of the death match!

"Could it be...... Matthews, De Niro, Kane, or ...... Aurora, I can't think of anyone other than the four of them who could hurt Denzel. The patriarch of the Debussy family set his sights on the rest of the families, but in exchange for indifference and ridicule.

"Patriarch, do you want to quit the game?" the clan elders reminded one after another.

Denzel is injured like this, and it is likely that his life is in danger, whether it is encountering a contestant from a rival family or encountering a Dao demon beast, it will be more than lucky. The heirs of the family that they had spent twenty years cultivating must not be buried in the barren forest lightly.

"Exit? Do you think the major families will be willing?" The rules are very clear, as long as they participate, they cannot be terminated, once they give up the competition, the family will give each of the top five representatives a heavy gift, and the gift is chosen by themselves!"

"Yes...... We can't just watch Denzel die, can we?"

"What else? If we withdraw now, we will inevitably become the laughing stock of the entire empire, saying that we Debussy family can't afford to lose! You can't afford to play! You remember clearly, this is a game that attracts the attention of the whole empire, and it is not as simple as a simple competition. ”

"Alas......"

"Wait! I believe Denzel!"

In the depths of the dense forest, Tang Yan forcibly suppressed the feeling of weakness that was coming, tried his best to maintain an 'arrogant' attitude, and walked without hurrying or slowing with the ancient war knife. There were nearby contestants who were watching and had the intention of sneaking up, but they couldn't see his reality clearly, and no one dared to act rashly.

Not only because Tang Yan is a 'public enemy', but more importantly, the strength he shows makes many people feel jealous, if he can kill him while he is weak, he can avoid a strong enemy in the second stage of team battle.

"Friends, behave like a man. If you want to kill me, stand up quickly! Don't dare, don't follow like a mouse, roll as far as you want!" Tang Yan deliberately raised his voice and roared, his long knife shook, and he looked around with cold eyes.

The sneaking people stopped one after another, but none of them left, until Tang Yan suddenly went crazy and killed a lion-headed wolf with a knife, and the bloody and brutal scene frightened them all back.

The lion-headed wolf is a genuine third-level peak demon beast, a demon beast, not a martial artist, what does it mean to be killed with a single sword? It means that Tang Yan's state at the moment is not as weak as they expected.

Tang Yan waited for everyone to evacuate with a cold expression, but it was difficult to hold on, and he almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his face was as pale as paper. Forcibly cast the Flame Quadruple Blow, exhausting the only remaining spiritual power, it was really impossible to hold on. Not daring to stop any longer, he quickened his pace and rushed towards the densely wooded place, looking for a suitable hiding place.

But as he walked, Tang Yan unexpectedly found that there seemed to be someone sneakily following behind, his brows couldn't help frowning, his body was very weak now, and he couldn't withstand the battle, since this person could follow up until now, his strength should not be too weak.

Who will it be?

What to do?!

Tang Yan stopped abruptly, and the shadow behind him also stopped, without taking another half step forward. The two sides confronted each other slightly, Tang Yan turned around violently, and next to the ancient tree not far away, a figure hurriedly hid as if frightened.

After hiding for a few minutes, the black shadow tentatively probed the probe, but found that Tang Yan had disappeared, and the little face full of dirt suddenly appeared a little panicked, and hurriedly rushed here, looking around a little helplessly, the little hand holding the soft sword trembled uncontrollably, wanting to shout something but seemed to have some scruples.

Tang Yan hibernated among the canopies above his head, preparing to play a sneak attack, but how did he look at it and feel wrong, this was obviously a child, and the panicked appearance was not like pretending, and the tattered clothes ...... His heart moved slightly, and he exclaimed, "Anna Belle?!"

The figure under the tree was obviously trembling, and even the soft sword was thrown out, and the dirty pretty face was pale for a while, and the small mouth was suffocated, and he almost cried.

Tang Yan couldn't cry or laugh, and jumped down from the tree: "It's really you, why are you here?"

This little girl is one of the Rao family's 'women's troops', the youngest of the seven, only fourteen years old, petite and weak, the strength of the second-order martial spirit, is recognized as a 'mortal person' who can't last a day.

"I ...... I ......" The little girl seemed to be very afraid of Tang Yan, so she quickly picked up the soft sword on the ground, and turned around to run away.

Tang Yan smiled and stopped in front of her in a flash: "Hey, little girl, we are a team, what are you afraid of?

The little girl shook her head vigorously, quickly lowered her head, and squirmed without speaking. It can be seen that he has suffered a lot during this time, his hair is messy, his clothes are tattered, and the exposed snow-white skin is full of blood.

Tang Yan reached out to rub her hair, the little girl was so frightened that she almost ran out, nervous and scared.

"Okay, don't touch you, come with me, let's find a place to hide first. Tang Yan didn't dare to stay here, and took her out of here quickly.

The demon beasts and warriors who were cautious nearby, it took a long time to find a relatively quiet place, and the little girl's love was very bad, and she was always trembling and vigilant around.

Tang Yan calmed down a little and went to dig out a nest of bird eggs not far away.

You can't make a fire in this barren forest, so as not to attract the tracking of other contestants, you can only find some relatively acceptable raw food to eat, the little girl may not have eaten for a long time, she can't care about the image, and she devours it.

"Eat slowly, it's all for you. Tang Yan only ate one, and the other six were given to Annabelle.

The little girl did not refuse, and swallowed the tender and refreshing bird eggs in two bites, and the life essence contained in them made her complexion look a lot better.

"Are you full? Not enough for me to get you some more?"

"Enough...... Enough is enough......" The little girl was a little embarrassed, but she still didn't dare to look at Tang Yan, curled up, and hid in the corner tremblingly.

Tang Yan was a little puzzled: "What are you afraid of? I'm so like a bad guy?"

"No...... It's not ......"

"Then why did you follow me just now? Now that you know it's me, why don't you just find me?"

"I ...... I'm afraid ......"

"Afraid of what?"

"I'm afraid that you will think I'm cumbersome, so I'll throw ...... Dump me......" The little girl said in an undetectable voice, bowing her head vigorously. The four-day desert escape was a nightmare for her, she had never been tired or suffered, and she had never spent the night in the wilderness, but now she ...... A life-and-death fight completely changed her fate, and her parents even instructed her to ...... Once you meet a bad person, kill yourself directly, don't be humiliated.

Although she is simple, she can hear that her participation in the competition is purely to make up the quota, no one thinks that she can live, she can't hold on even for a day, she is desperate at the beginning and is ready to die.

But I don't know how to drop, and I have persevered until now. The only thing she remembered was fleeing, running wildly, the blood and chaos along the way, destroying her fragile will all the time, just when she was about to collapse the limit, she was pleasantly surprised to find Tang Yan, and even widened her eyes to see Tang Yan defeat Denzel.

She followed as if she had grasped a life-saving straw, but ...... Since the Rao family met, Tang Yan did not leave a very good impression on her, and they were not familiar with each other, for fear that he would think she was a burden, and she could only follow secretly, to find a little sense of safety for herself.

Tang Yan couldn't cry or laugh, and after thinking about it, he could understand what Angel Belle meant. But...... This girl is indeed a burden, a second-order martial spirit, and a little girl who doesn't understand anything, let alone help, it's lucky not to cause trouble.

Drive away? Tang Yan looked at the cowardly and restless little girl steadily, and she really couldn't be ruthless. If she doesn't find herself, Tang Yan won't care if she lives or dies, but when she encounters it, if she gets rid of her, it is tantamount to letting her die, if it falls into the hands of some bastards, maybe it will be a disaster directly, this is a life and death arena, prompted by death and chaos, some people really do anything.

"Don't be afraid, from today on, you follow me well, I will protect you, but there is one thing, you have to listen to me, what I want you to do, you must do your best, I don't allow you to do it, you must not decide privately, understand?" Tang Yan solemnly reminded her.

Angel Belle nodded hurriedly, her big watery eyes filled with tears.

A sentence of 'I protect you' is like a feather brushing through my heart, warm, and I want to cry.

"I need to recuperate, you help me keep watch, and in case of danger, alert immediately. See what I mean?"

"Understood! I must remind!" Angel Belle was afraid that Tang Yan would be angry, so she nodded vigorously.
