Ye Wen picked up the girl whose body was trembling, his face was full of anxiety and helplessness, not only the coldness of his own body, but even his heart instantly sank into the cold abyss.

This situation is not the first time I have encountered it, but when my adoptive father was still in the world, and his family was considered wealthy, he was able to buy a variety of precious elixirs to suppress the cold, so that Xiaoqian was able to continue to survive and not die in infancy.

Now that the two of them are in the slums, they have no father or mother, and they can't even get what they want with a full meal, how can they buy an elixir like [Fire Spirit Grass]!

Xiao Qian's condition began to relapse four years ago, and she always had an attack at a fixed time every year, and he was caught off guard at the beginning, but fortunately, the foundation of taking the elixir before was still there, and she thought that she would die several times, but in the end she successfully survived.

"Why is it so fast this year!?"

Looking at Xiao Qian's cold and trembling, a look of despair flashed in Ye Wen's eyes, he would have joined the group of thieves in the slums not long after.

Even the thieves who live at the bottom of Chiba Castle may be able to scrape together enough silver tattoos to buy elixirs as long as they have enough luck and skill. He has high hopes for this.

Ye Wen gritted his teeth fiercely, carefully put Xiao Qian on the wooden bed, took out the jade pendant from his arms, and held it tightly with his little hand, the plan for now is to sell the jade pendant as soon as possible, no matter how low the price is, Xiao Qian's condition must be stabilized before the dawn appears!

"Xiaoqian, I'll help you buy medicine now, don't worry, with Brother Ye here, everything will be fine!"

Looking at the painful look on Xiao Qian's face, Ye Wen's eyes were full of grief and indignation, and resentment for his own incompetence surged in his heart, the fists of his little hands were clenched tightly, but the tone of his speech was extremely gentle, hiding all the emotional fluctuations behind him.

"Hmm. Hearing Ye Wen's words, Xiao Qian closed her eyes, nodded, curled up in the quilt like a little mouse, and said softly, "Don't, don't worry...... Xiaoqian is fine......"

Ye Wen looked at Xiao Qian's pale lips, a stiff smile that was deliberately hooked, his heart was like a knife, he suddenly turned around and ran towards the door, rushed out of the door, and then closed the wooden door cautiously and quickly.

Even in such a desperate situation, unprecedentedly flustered, he still will not give up his usual caution and calmness, the darkness and chaos of the slums, he has no father and no mother, he has long experienced that as long as he shows a little weakness, those wild dogs and jackals lurking in the shadows will be as if they smell blood, and they will pounce and bite fiercely.

After closing the wooden door, Ye Wen quickly rushed towards an alley, running frantically along the root of the wall, wishing that he could put on a pair of wings and fly directly to the destination.

The night was deep, shining stars were hanging, and the clear moonlight poured down, and the coolness enveloped the earth, soaking Ye Wen's cold heart.

At this moment, the streets of the slums are quite deserted, there are only a few people, most of the poor people are concentrated in the garbage heap outside the city, and most of the children who will stay in the city at such an important moment are children like Ye Wen who are too young and uncompetitive, once they stay in the garbage heap for too long, they may attract death.

There is also a kind of bullies who are at the top of the slums and rely on coercion to seize resources, most of them are strong people with [Dao power], who are kings and hegemons in the slums, and enjoy the active worship of the weak at any time.

Ye Wen walked through several streets one after another, and came to a hidden alley in the west of the city, praying in his heart not to run into those hateful bullies, the pace of progress became more and more rapid, and faintly, Ye Wen's breathing began to be disordered.

However, the moment he stepped into the alley, a sturdy figure suddenly came from the shadows, unceremoniously breaking into Ye Wen's eyes, his bear-like bloated body swaying, as if he was full of drunkenness, but he walked towards Ye Wen's side.

It was a strong man with a height of nine feet, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and the muscles on his body were like iron lumps, as well as the giant hands that were several times higher than ordinary people, which seemed to be able to pinch a person to death at any time, which looked very shocking.

"Black bear!"

Looking at this figure that appeared in front of him, Ye Wen's complexion changed greatly, his eyes flashed with a little fear, his mouth was full of bitter taste, and his steps forward suddenly seemed to be entangled in chains, becoming extremely heavy and almost unable to move.

The slums are extremely poor, at the bottom of the entire Chiba City, but due to the large number of people, it has always been a place for gangs to obtain reserve gangs, and occasionally some seedlings with good qualifications appear, which are enough to meet the needs of some small gangs, even if it is a poor person who has no hope of breaking through the quenching body for life, he can also become cannon fodder at the right time.

As a result, some small gangs will send gangs to guard the slums, and from time to time there will be a fight for territory and personnel in the small slums, and these people who are assigned to the slums will usually become bullies who run rampant in the streets.

The black bear is one of the tyrants that have to be mentioned, as the peripheral gang of the [Green Snake Gang], although it is nothing in the entire gang, but its own strength is enough to be proud of most people in the slums.

This bully is notorious in the slums, plundering other people's money at the least, killing people and setting fires at the worst, but he is cautious by nature, and will not easily offend those who can contend with him, and takes the meaning of bullying good and fearing evil to the extreme, and most of the residents of the slums dare not speak out.

The giant black bear approached drunkenly, Ye Wen gritted his teeth, and forced himself to suppress the trembling in his heart, he had to take this road, the urgency of time could no longer allow him to choose, and this was the only alley that led safely to the lame shop.

There are more than a dozen gangs entrenched in the slums, and their respective territories and spheres of influence are extremely complex, and not a small slum child can figure out, once they enter the streets and alleys where outsiders are not welcome, the next moment may be a sword and blood splattered all over the ground.

This alley is one of the few middle grounds, and on the surface it does not belong to any gang, and it is the best path to the lame shop. Ye Wen had no choice, so he could only hold on, hoping that the black bear didn't care about his ant-like existence.

Ye Wen, who shrunk his body, lowered his head and continued to walk forward, his heartbeat accelerated violently, hidden under the steady breathing, and when he passed by the black bear's side, he paused due to instinctive fear, and then took a casual step, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that he was like an ant on the side of the road, and would not attract any attention.

"Boy, stop!"

The black bear's drunken eyes suddenly looked at Ye Wen behind him, and on his hideous face, a consistent cold smile appeared, even in the drunkenness, he couldn't hide the cruel nature.

"Look at you sneaky...... Is there something good to hide?Take it out and dedicate it to me!" The words fell, and the black bear and snake-like eyes stared at Ye Wen's back, and then Shi Shiran walked towards Ye Wen.

Hearing the ghostly voice of the black bear, Ye Wen's thin body stiffened suddenly, his brain suddenly went blank, his calves trembled slightly, and he only felt that the skin on his whole body was numb, like an insect trapped in a spider's web, helpless, and could only wait for the fate of being preded.

"No...... No, Xiaoqian, I want to save Xiaoqian!"

Ye Wen suddenly bit his tongue with his teeth, due to the intense pain, his stiff body recovered instantly, his eyes swelled with decisiveness, his legs slammed into force, like an arrow from the string, the speed seemed to exhaust the strength of his life, and a touch of madness appeared on his immature face.

"Miscellaneous! How dare you run!? [Bear Claw]!"

The angry shouts sounded almost at the same time, and the black bear's slightly cold eyes even faded from drunkenness, he had been rampant and domineering here in the slums for many years, and he had almost never met anyone who dared to disobey him, and now a mere little hairy head dared to ignore him!?

The black bear's hand pressed to his waist, and a gray talisman flew out, and then he raised his hand, and the talisman was imprinted into the palm of his hand, and a faint gray light began to flow out of his palm, covering the entire palm that wrapped him in an instant.

The brilliance flowed, and the gray light was like a liquid, slowly flowing on the giant hand of the black bear, and it gradually condensed into an illusory bear paw, and the faint form of five sharp claws exuded an extremely dangerous aura.

"Go!"

The black bear roared, his arm shook violently, and the huge bear paw suddenly shot out, and a violent palm wind even rolled up the dead leaves on the ground.

The bear's paw condensed by gray light shot out from the black bear's big hand and slapped fiercely at Ye Wen's back as he was running, and the huge palm shadow almost enveloped Ye Wen's entire body.

The sound of breaking the air sounded, Ye Wen felt that his back was tingling, and even a tingling sensation, and then suddenly the world became quiet, and the end of the alley in his eyes suddenly became pitch black.

Bang!

With a muffled sound, the bear's paw slapped Ye Wen's back, and Ye Wen's whole person flew out upside down, like a kite with a broken string, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood in his mouth, and most of the organs in his body were broken in an instant.

The body fell heavily to the ground, streams of blood continued to gush out of his body, and the palm hit his fragile body hard, as if he was directly hit by a huge wooden stake, and this kind of impact is not something that a thin child can bear, the reason why he did not die is thanks to his tenacious innate physique, but he is also on the verge of death.

"Grandma, when you see my black bear, you still dare to run, and if you die, you can't complain about others!" a cruel smile appeared on the black bear's face, and he raised his slightly swaying steps and walked over.

Seeing this bloody scene, with the black bear's iron heart that was colder than ice, it would not produce any feelings of pity, but a sense of pleasure that strangled the weak emerged in his heart.

"I—I'm going to save ...... Save the little and the ...... I can't die ......"

Looking at the bright and beautiful moon, Ye Wen tilted his head and lay paralyzed on the ground, his eyes swelled with the will to survive, and the blood in his mouth kept gushing out with muttering.

His immature little hand trembled and raised, pressed it on the chest where the jade pendant was stored, and pinched the jade pendant that contained hope, along with the shabby clothes, into his little hand, blood gushed out endlessly, and his clothes were dyed a blood-red.

This is his dying will.

"Uh, what is this?" the black bear looked at Ye Wen's chest in surprise, where a faint light flickered, and his heart was happy, "Could this miscellaneous really have any treasures?"

The black bear walked towards Ye Wen with a little joy, lowered his head and looked at the flickering light, and stretched out his big hand without hesitation, ready to pat Ye Wen's small hand holding the jade pendant away.

Suddenly, the eyes engraved on the jade pendant suddenly opened, as if they were living pupils, exuding a void and vast atmosphere.

At the same time, the light from the jade pendant increased at an alarming speed, instantly devouring Ye Wen, who was bathed in a pool of blood, along with the black bear who bent down to plunder the spoils.

As the black light swallowed everything, the black bear could be seen faintly, with a distorted and frightened look on its face.
