"Liu Liu, don't move, don't move at all!" I immediately called to Liu Liu and the others.
"But..." Although they were puzzled, Yoyo and the others still did as they were told.
The man behind me grabbed my neck with great strength! I couldn't turn my head, so I asked him in a low voice.
"What should we do now?"
The person behind me ignored me, and instead recited a strange language in a low voice. As he recited, I felt as if the air around me stopped, and then soon the surroundings began to surge with undercurrents, and the ground began to shake. , and then the shaking became more and more violent, and I couldn't even stand still.
Seeing that the wild boars also lost their center of gravity, they rolled down the slope.
The ground shook even more violently, and a bottomless gap opened! All those wild boars fell into the gap.
The surrounding gravel, soil, and tree branches all rolled into the gap while shaking, filling it tightly.
"alright."
He let go.
I rubbed my neck, which was so painful from his hold, and finally turned my head.
In front of him was a lean man, not tall, wrapped in a dark gray robe, and the strong hands just now were retracted into the long robe.
He was wearing a hood, and the light in the forest was not good, so it was impossible to see his face clearly, but judging from his voice and the slightly rough beard on his chin, he should be a middle-aged man in his 40s.
"Thank you, uncle."
I was amazed that this man could cast an astonishing spell and eliminate the pig-headed man we had been helpless with in the blink of an eye, without even having to clean up the battlefield.
The uncle didn't speak, and stood face to face with me, as if he was observing me through his robe, or "scanning" me.
I felt a little uncomfortable and instinctively became alert. Although the person in front of me had been very helpful and saved me and Liu Liu and the others, I still don't know his motives and cannot take it lightly.
Suddenly, Wen Na's instructions came to mind. Obviously, in order to save the centaur tribe, I forced myself into the same dangerous situation this time and violated the promise I made to Wen Na.
But in the face of every life, giving up saving also means giving up humanity. If it were Xuan Yi, he would do the same...
And the uncle in front of me showed strength beyond my imagination as soon as he took action, but now it seems that from his dress to his body shape and temperament, he doesn't feel oppressive at all.
"Don't trust anyone easily".
Wen Na's words went through her mind again.
"Uncle?" I was thinking about how to break this awkward situation when Liuliu and other human-headed spiders came over. When I saw the only ones left, I couldn't help but feel heartache. They were all loyal to me, and they had killed and injured so many of their companions for me...
Suddenly, Yoyo and the other human-headed spiders stopped in unison across the long distance between me and my uncle. I looked at them doubtfully and used my spirit body to speak to them.
"Liu Liu, what's wrong with you?" Liu Liu was lying on the ground with his whole body, even his head buried in the soil, and said tremblingly, "Master... Master, we... we will stay here... .Stay..”
At this time, a huge uneasiness surged into my heart. Liuyou acted too abnormally, and her voice was full of surrender, awe, and even fear!
Even if they are usually respectful in front of me, they are not as timid as they are today.
Animals' perception of danger far exceeds that of humans. Even as a person from the early Yuan Dynasty, I often took precautions against danger after receiving reminders from you.
"You guys are doing a great job." The uncle suddenly spoke, still with a strong voice.
Does doing a good job mean we saved these remaining centaur tribes?
The uncle's words disrupted my thoughts and made me lower my guard a little. If he praised me for doing well now, he probably wouldn't do it to me the next second. The uncle seemed to be a very particular person.
Thinking about it, I suddenly remembered the men and horses who were resisting the large number of wild boars outside, so I asked for help from my uncle, "Uncle, there are still many men and horses resisting these wild boars outside. Please save them too!"
The uncle turned around, faced the direction outside the dense forest, and said slowly: "This is their mission."
I frowned upon hearing this. Although we already had a bad premonition when we were caught up by the wild boar people, we still hope to seize even if there is only a glimmer of hope.
Just as he was about to continue persuading the uncle, he was suddenly interrupted.
"In your opinion, the wild boar tribe is too strong, so you have to protect the weak centaur tribe. But if I attack the wild boar tribe and there is a huge disparity in strength, who will protect them?"
The uncle continued talking, with a hint of joking in his tone.
"Don't worry, the old and young of the centaur tribe are temporarily safe. As for those outside, it depends on their fate."
The uncle seemed determined not to lend a helping hand. Looking at the human-headed spiders that suffered heavy casualties, and thinking about the powerful fighting power of these wild boar people, I walked to the side of the stone and sat down angrily.
"You, come with me." The uncle suddenly turned his head to face me. His face was still unclear under the dark gray hood, but this time his voice suddenly increased by dozens of decibels, which cheered me up.
I stood up and looked at this uncle, a little confused. The top priority now was to catch up with the little white hair and protect them and find a place to stay.
I looked in the direction of the deep forest. Although the uncle said that they were safe for the time being, I still felt uneasy. After all, they trusted me so firmly that I had to follow them until I was sure they were safe.
But the current situation didn't seem to allow me to think about it. The uncle walked straight towards me, his dark gray robe moving without the wind, revealing the big hand that had held me up before.
"Uncle, I thank you for saving us, but I still have very important things to do now." I took a half step back, thinking of the hopeful eyes of the men and horses looking at me, and subconsciously pulled out the dagger. He was lying on his chest, but thinking about the mysterious spell cast by this uncle just now, he felt a little frightened.
The uncle looked at the cold dagger in my hand and suddenly stopped, "This dagger... do you know Wen Na?"
When I heard the word Wen Na, I was shocked. This was the first time someone said my mother's name since I came here.
"Wen Na is my mother." I shifted my gaze to the dagger in my hand and slowly put it down.
Maybe I can learn about my mother's life in this world from this uncle. The uncle seemed to guess what I was thinking.
"Young man, you are filled with an aura that does not belong to this world. It seems that this is your first time here," the uncle said unhurriedly, "but as far as I know, Wen Na has already existed in this world for a long time. Years. Come with me and I will tell you about your mother’s time in this world.”
As he spoke, he walked into a dark place in the dense forest. Looking at the dark gray figure gradually going away, I struggled in my heart, and another thought gradually emerged in my mind: With the strength shown by this uncle, maybe he can bring back the disappeared mother.
With such expectations, I have made my decision. Looking guiltily towards the direction of the little white-haired people, I hope they can successfully find a safe place to live.
At this time, the human-headed spiders were still crawling on the ground, trembling. The uncle's figure gradually became less clear in the depths of the jungle. I didn't bother to ask Liu Liu why he was so fearful, and dug his head out of the soil.
"Yao Liu, I want to go with this person now, you just need to follow me." Liu Liu looked disgraced at this moment, shook his head and stood up to clean up the dust.
"Master...Master, you must be careful. The mysterious man just now is not simple. We don't dare to get too close to him, so we can only follow him from a distance." I nodded, no longer caring about Liu Liu's words, and turned towards the dark gray man. The figure ran in the direction.
Although the uncle was not tall, the wind seemed to hit his feet when he walked. I chased him a long way before I saw the figure in front of me. Fortunately, there was only one trail in this direction, otherwise I would have almost doubted whether I was lost. I jogged all the way to keep up with my uncle. In order to find out more about my mother, I bit the bullet and started to get close to him with a smile on my face.
"You haven't asked uncle what your name is yet?" I said respectfully, "My name is Zhang Xiyuan. Thank you very much for saving me just now."
"My surname is Jiang." This uncle, oh no, should be called Uncle Jiang now, only responded to me with three words coldly.
"Uncle Jiang, where are we going?" Looking at the increasingly gloomy dense forest, I was still a little scared.
"Zhang Xiyuan, right? You talk a little too much." Uncle Jiang seemed a little disgusted with my approach, and quickened his pace.
emmmm, I felt a little embarrassed, so I had to bite the bullet and keep up. Suddenly I thought of Liu Liu, and I quickly searched for Liu Liu with my consciousness, but it seemed that I couldn't get a response.
Follow from afar? ? ? They are so far away that they can't hear me...
After walking for another half hour, a cave-like mountain pass finally appeared in front of us.
"We're here, come in," the uncle's deep voice came, but he didn't seem to feel tired at all from the journey.
Since I was trained by Wen Na, my physical fitness has been far better than before, but facing the wild boar people and being on the road for a long time also made my breath a little unstable and my heartbeat quickened. Still need to become stronger.
I followed Uncle Jiang into the cave. There was a cave inside, glowing with green light. These light sources seemed to be some stones.
The temperature in the cave suddenly increased. Although the sun was out, it did not hinder the growth of some plants. On the contrary, they became more mysterious and lush.
The uncle pointed at a stool that looked like a tree stump and said, "Just wait here and don't touch anything." After saying that, he walked deeper into the cave.
After all the fighting and traveling, I was already very hungry. The corner of this cave was surrounded by a stream. My mouth was already dry, but I couldn’t see the quality of the water clearly, so I still didn’t drink.
Suddenly my eyes fell on the plants climbing up the wall. These vine-like plants with pink flowers looked particularly abrupt in this space.
smell good…
I took a deep breath and felt refreshed!
