"Uh..." A long, weak and hoarse voice sounded, and Zi Yang, who was lying in a pool of blood, suddenly felt a warmth in the cold secret room.
He propped his arms on the ground and looked up at the flames in front of him, especially the monster meat on top. Golden oil dripped into the flames, and the virtual image of the fire on the wall flickered.
Zhuliu Feng's bald head looked very eye-catching under the firelight. He stood up and waved to Zi Yang, who walked to him with difficulty and sat down beside him, lowering his head and not daring to speak.
"Have you thought about it clearly? Are you going to shout or not?" Zhuliu Feng didn't even look at him, his eyes were fixed on the monster flesh. It seemed like he asked casually.
"Can you let me go..." Zi Yang's voice was like a mosquito. From the corner of his eye, he saw him suddenly stand up, and the words on his lips, "I want to leave here," were swallowed by him. go back.
He trembled in fright, and then leaned back, looking up at Zhuliu Feng with an angry face.
"I asked you whether to shout or not. What are you talking about with me? What's the point? Also! Speak louder, go to hell!"
After saying that, Zhuliu Kuang kicked him in the chest. Zi Yang felt a surge of heat in his throat, and then he spurted out a trail of blood and flew backwards.
Sizzle!
The thunder light flashed in Ziyang's palm, and a fierce look flashed across his pupils. Although it was only for a moment, it could not escape Zhuliu Crazy's eyes.
"Hey, I advise you to think carefully before taking action." Zhuliu Feng lamented: "Living is difficult, but dying is very easy. You have to think about it."
"You are the first person who dares to show murderous intent towards me but is not killed by me. Cherish this opportunity to live."
Zi Yang remained silent, and the lightning in his palm dissipated, but those fierce eyes never moved away from Zhuliu Feng.
"Come, come and eat."
"Don't eat!"
"I have the skills you need, do you want them?"
"don't want!"
"Come here!"
"Don't go!"
Zhuliu Feng changed his previous domineering behavior and said in a slightly gentle tone: "Come and have a meal with me and chat for a while. After eating, I will let you go."
Zi Yang tentatively walked over and asked, "Are you serious?"
"Someone is waiting for you outside. I can't keep them waiting." Zhuliu Feng said while eating, but this time, he didn't chirp.
Zi Yang asked curiously: "Who is it? Who is waiting for me outside?"
Zhuliu Feng didn't answer, so he didn't ask any more questions.
Inner Zhuliu Mountain Range
Somewhere, Qiu Qianqian, dressed in red, was standing on a hill, walking back and forth anxiously. Qiu Leng was sitting in the soft grass with a dagger in his hand, staring at the blade carefully.
Qiu Qianqian snatched the dagger from his hand and said hurriedly: "Oh! Don't look at it. Think of a way to save him."
"Save? How to save? The man living below is a high-ranking man. He doesn't want to let him go. What can I do." Qiu Leng spread his hands, looking very helpless.
Qiu Qianqian stared at him and asked: "Why does the master live in such a place? Don't you want to save him?"
Qiu Leng explained patiently: "Although I don't know who lives down there, what is certain is that that person has reached the realm of gods and is a powerful person in the hidden world."
"If he dies, I won't live either." Qiu Qianqian sat aside, pulling out weeds to vent her anger.
Qiu Leng sighed softly and said, "I don't understand. What's so good about that boy? You are my biological sister. You can't push me into the fire."
Qiu Qianqian didn't say anything, didn't look at him, and was still pulling up the weeds around her.
"Okay, okay. You wait here, I'll go down and look for you." Qiu Leng left her behind and walked towards the entrance of the underground palace.
secret room
Ziyang talked with Zhuliu Feng, who had an easy-going attitude. Without the previous restraint, the two of them talked about ordinary past events, but the conversation was very speculative.
Zi Yang asked: "Uncle, you have been here alone for so long and you have never thought about leaving?"
Zhuliu smiled wildly and said, "A lot of people will die if I leave. I don't want to cause any more killings. It's good to live here quietly."
Although he concealed it well, Ziyang understood that freedom is what everyone yearns for, to do whatever they want and live carefree.
"Let's go." Zhuliu Feng faced the wall and closed his eyes in thought.
"Uncle, I believe what you say, I will find them through my own efforts."
Ziyang passed through the wall, and Pei Yuan stood on the exit steps. He couldn't help but laugh and asked: "You have entered the eighth realm. You have been beaten a lot in there, right?"
"Being beaten?" Zi Yang looked at Xiao Hai and said with an embarrassed look, "Did you all hear it?"
"Brother Ziyang, Zhuliu Feng didn't really hit you, right?" Xiaohai thought for a while and said, "But that's nothing. Anyway, no one in this world can defeat him, so it's not true that you were beaten by him. What a shame."
"Really?!" Zi Yang glanced at Pei Yuan intentionally or unintentionally. In order to avoid the topic of being beaten, he had to ask: "Is he really that strong? Even the God of War can't beat him?"
Pei Yuan smiled without saying a word and walked out along the steps. Zi Yang looked at Xiao Hai, who nodded seriously.
When they walked out of the underground palace, Ziyang looked up and opened his arms, facing the comfortable sunshine, and smelled the scent of jasmine. He looked at Qiu Qianqian who was walking towards him in disbelief.
"Why are you here again! Are you annoyed?! You follow me wherever I go. Can you please show some respect?!" Before she could walk in, Ziyang shouted at her impatiently.
Qiu Qianqian stopped and looked at him blankly. Suddenly she whispered: "Do you hate me so much?"
Zi Yang yelled: "Get out of here?! I get angry when I see you. Don't you know? How can there be such a shameless person like you in the world?"
"Zi Yang, I'm also thinking about your safety, so don't speak so harshly." Pei Yuan, who couldn't stand it, suddenly started to persuade him.
Zi Yang pointed at him and roared: "If you can't bear it, go away. I can still kill the big demon without you."
Xiaohai held Qiu Qianqian's delicate hand and whispered comfortingly: "Sister, brother Ziyang is not like this, he is just in a bad mood."
Facing Ziyang's drastic change in temperament, Xiaohai didn't know what to say. He always felt that he was strange now, but he also had an indescribable feeling.
"And you! You have been following me since the mine. You have no skills at all. You still want me to protect you every day. It's really annoying for you!" After Ziyang finished speaking, he left without looking back.
"Hey! Ziyang!" Pei Yuan shouted several times but got no response, so he hurriedly chased after him.
"This is not true. Brother Ziyang will not abandon me." Xiaohai kept shaking his head, still unable to believe that those words just came from Ziyang's mouth.
Qiu Qianqian didn't say anything and pulled Xiao Hai away. Xiao Hai took three steps and turned back, hoping to see Zi Yang's figure and hope that he would come back to pick her up, but Zi Yang never showed up.
On a certain cliff, Ziyang was sitting there alone, with the breeze blowing on his face, but he felt a little heartache.
He sat on the cliff and carefully thought about what he had just said, whether it was too much and whether their hearts could bear it, especially Xiaohai. He was still a child and he didn't quite understand some truths.
But if Ziyang didn't do this and let them follow him, Pei Yuan and others would only be in more danger. This was something he didn't want to see, so he used the most hurtful words to keep them away from him.
"What are you thinking about?" Pei Yuan patted his shoulder and sat next to him with a smile.
Zi Yang lowered his head and asked, "They're not chasing you, are they?"
Pei Yuan smiled lightly and said: "Don't worry. What you just said was very serious, like a knife, piercing your heart every sentence. They shouldn't chase you."
"You should leave too. I have offended the Guimen, and they will not let me go. You will not end well if you follow me." Zi Yang said what was in his heart without any concealment, and his tone was almost pleading.
Pei Yuan did not answer directly, but asked him, "Why did you go out of your way to destroy the mine in the first place?"
"Because I wanted to do it, so I went."
As soon as he said this, Pei Yuan smiled and said, "I didn't misjudge you."
"I didn't misjudge you. You planted so many medicinal herbs just to help them heal their injuries." What Pei Yuan did made him extremely puzzled. He didn't understand this until today.
Pei Yuan said with some shame: "Compared to you, I'm far behind. I was just trying my best to protect them, but you saved them."
Zi Yang smiled and asked, "Can I successfully rescue them without you?"
Pei Yuan exhaled and said: "I am not as great as you think. The reason why I did not destroy the mine is because I am worried about the forces behind the mine. Once the slaves are released, my situation will be very dangerous."
"That's why I let you do what I want to do but don't dare to do."
Zi Yang asked casually: "Are you following me now because you feel guilty for me?"
"Absolutely." Pei Yuan said seriously: "The worst thing I did in my life was that I refused your invitation last time. Now I have no chance to join your team."
What he said reminded Zi Yang of Jia Juesheng. At that time, like Pei Yuan now, he was unwilling to join his team, but in the end the two of them walked out of the mountains together.
"I won't take back what I said, but you can follow me shamelessly like Jia Juesheng." Zi Yang stood up and looked at him with a smile.
Pei Yuan smiled and shook his head, but out of the corner of his eye, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a female monk running past with her face covered in tears. Zi Yang happened to notice that person as well.
Before the two of them spoke, the figure of the female monk had already disappeared into the forest.
Pei Yuan looked solemn and said, "What did you see?"
Zi Yang stared at the blood on the ground and said, "Blood. What about you?"
"She seems to have a pretty good figure." Pei Yuan finished speaking seriously and took the lead in walking forward along the blood trail.
Zi Yang's mouth opened slightly, and he couldn't believe that such words could be heard from his mouth, but judging from his appearance just now, it seemed that he was not joking.
