There was no farewell.
However, when they reached the door, Ro Yan suddenly called out to Ro Li, who was tearing up helplessly.
He walked over and hugged Ro Li.
Then, he kissed the unconscious girl's forehead before he looked at Tang Ling and tapped his shoulder.
An indescribable feeling surged in Tang Ling's heart, but in the end, he told Ro Yan, "Don't worry."
It was Tang Ling's promise.
Ro Yan smiled in a carefree and relieved manner. "I'm not worried."
Autumn.
Night came early in the mountains, and it was no longer cold at night. It was bone-chilling cold.
The people entered the makeshift houses early in the morning. Not many people knew that three people had left the campsite.
Two of them were Ro Yan's sons and daughters.
Ro Li led the way. According to Ro Yan, they should go out from the west gate of the campsite. There were already two iron-scaled horses waiting for them there.
In the drizzling night, Tang Ling quietly tied his luggage to the horse and jumped on it.
Ro Li wiped his tears as he tied Ro Xin to his back. He also jumped on the horse quietly, but he was hesitant to move forward. He kept turning back to look at the campsite.
"Let's go," Tang Ling said.
Ro Li wiped his face with his sleeve, but he still did not move.
"You said you want to follow me? Fine, I'll be on my way. If you can't even keep up with me, don't even think about the bottom line of a man. " Tang Ling did not turn around. He identified the direction in the night before he squeezed the horse's belly and galloped away.
"You …!" Ro Li was a little anxious, but he had no choice but to follow Tang Ling and gallop away from the campsite.
**
The blazing fire was reflected in Ro Xin's eyes, and a single tear rolled down from the corner of her eye.
Beside her, Ro Li was crying like a fool.
Tang Ling did not say anything. With a cigarette in his mouth, he leaned against a thick pile of iron thorn grass and watched the drizzling sky.
They were at the top of a cliff, which was the demon ape's lair.
Even though the Ro Drifter Camp's footsteps were all over the Herrocky Mountain Ridge, they did not know that this was the demon ape's lair.
First, they wouldn't provoke the Demon Apes. Instead, they would avoid them.
Secondly, they would not be as' bored 'as Tang Feng, who still had to explore the hidden lair of the Demon Apes.
He finally knew where the Ninth Ruins was located. However, he did not follow the route given by Ro Li to the Ninth Ruins.
Instead, he drew up a route based on the detailed map Tang Feng had given him. The lair of the Demon Apes was his first stop.
Tang Ling had his own considerations. First of all, this place was very safe. Every year, the demon apes would come out of their nest to hunt the raging bulls, and only he knew about it.
Therefore, there were no more demon apes in the Santos Branching Ridge. Its nest was, of course, safe.
On top of that, it was a small token of appreciation from Tang Ling. Although the valley was quite a distance away from the Ro Clan's camp, it was only the distance of the journey.
As the saying goes, 'the mountain before the eyes runs the horse to death'.
In addition, this place was located at the top of the cliff, the highest point of the Santos Branching Ridge.
Therefore, he could clearly see the situation in the Luo Clan's Wanderer Camp.
Ro Yan had said goodbye to his children in a hurry, so Tang Ling wanted to make it up to him in this way. Although it would be a tragedy in the end, it was better than hiding it from Ro Li and Ro Xin.
Lastly, it was because Tang Ling wanted to take a shortcut.
It was necessary. Along the way, Tang Ling had asked Ro Li for some details. The Ninth Ruins was no secret in the Ro Clan's camp, and many people knew where it was.
The key was something else.
Therefore, the Stardust Council would definitely go there. Following the rules and taking the route that they already had would not only be dangerous, but they would also not be able to seize the initiative.
Now, it seemed like the map and information that Tang Feng had left behind were very important. The doubt in Tang Ling's heart grew heavier. Did Ro Li expect this?
"I'll take revenge! I'll take revenge! Dad … "Ro Li's sobs interrupted Tang Ling's thoughts.
Although he could not see what was going on, the blazing fire and the messy scene said it all.
Ro Xin hugged her brother tightly from behind before she turned to Tang Ling and said, "Thank you."
"You don't blame me?" Tang Ling raised a brow.
"It's not that I'm unreasonable." Ro Xin did not have the desire to talk, so she simply answered.
Ro Li's sobs were intermittent, and the autumn breeze added a sense of desolation.
Tang Ling kept quiet and did not say a word.
Ro Xin, on the other hand, comforted him softly and coaxed him to sleep. She then looked at Tang Ling and asked in a serious tone, "What should we do next?"
"It's a race against time. We'll rest here for two hours and avoid the most dangerous time of the night when the vicious beasts are the most active. After that, we'll continue to the Ninth Ruins." Tang Ling's thoughts were always clear.
"What's the long-term plan?" Ro Xin asked. She was not worried about herself. She was worried about Ro Li.
"My destination is Darkness Port. What do you think about it?" Tang Ling pulled a piece of dried grass and stuffed it into his mouth. He did not answer Ro Xin's question directly.
Ro Xin was smart, so it was not hard to talk to her. She should be able to understand him.
"Darkness Port? It's a good place. Although it's a chaotic place with no order and everyone does things their own way, there are a lot of powerful people there. " However, there are a lot of powerful people among them, "Ro Xin commented.
"Hmm, you're right. What about you? "Tang Ling looked at her.
"Me? You know better than anyone else that I'm easy to arrange. I'll follow you to Darkness Port and settle down there. Then, I'll learn the medical skills. Like I said, there are a lot of powerful people in Darkness Port. "Ro Xin's eyes were suppressing the heavy sadness and hatred.
However, she remained calm.
From a certain aspect, she was similar to Tang Ling, but they were not. She was not as crazy as Tang Ling.
"You want to know what I think about Ro Li, right?" Tang Ling admired Ro Xin.
"Yes."
"You said it yourself. Darkness Port is a place filled with all kinds of powerful people. I'll provide him with spinal fluid that will last him until he's 22 years old. Given his talent, he won't have to worry about it. "Tang Ling did not plan to hide anything from her.
"But my brother is a stubborn person."
"I'm also stubborn. If I don't agree, I won't compromise on this matter. However, in terms of benefits, Ro Li won't lose anything, right? "Tang Ling sat down with his legs crossed. His posture and appearance were like a teenager.
However, at times, the aura he emanated and the words he said were mature and unshakable.
Ro Xin went silent for a long time before she said something that sounded plausible but was actually wrong, "Let's leave it to fate."
Tang Ling nodded. He could not reject her and he had no reason to either.
**
The Ninth Ruins was located at the edge of the Santos Branching Ridge, so the journey was long.
After three days of rushing without rest, they had only covered half of the journey.
Facts proved that Tang Ling was right.
He had planned a secluded path ahead of time, which not only saved him a lot of time but also avoided a lot of danger. Most importantly, he managed to avoid running into the Stardust Council and the occasional large-scale search by the council.
The most dangerous time was when they were less than 500 meters away from the people from the Stardust Council. Tang Ling managed to find a Level 3 mutated insect that had left its nest, the Ice Venomous Spider's nest, and managed to avoid the people from the Stardust Council.
She felt like Tang Ling was omnipotent and knew everything. He was even more familiar with the mountain range than she was because she had grown up in the Herrocky Mountains.
Tang Ling answered, "There's a naggy person who provided me with a lot of information."
Indeed, it was all because of Tang Feng's seemingly insignificant grumbles, but the information he provided was extremely useful time and time again.
Even though a lot of the information was useless, it provided Tang Ling with a lot of valuable knowledge.
On this particular day, Tang Ling brought Ro Xin and Ro Li to a relatively safe place.
Ro Xin finally had the time to heal Tang Ling for the second time.
Amidst the mist, Tang Ling started the painful process again, but compared to the first time, the effect was more obvious. Tang Ling managed to devour more blue energy.
It was a process where one's strength would decrease while the other's strength would increase, and the situation was much better than Ro Xin expected.
After the healing, Tang Ling felt like he had almost reached the strength of six bulls. He was just a little bit away from breaking through to six bulls.
Ro Li was busy doing some chores beside the fire while Ro Xin was reading the Ro family's teachings.
When she saw Tang Ling, she passed him a book.
As a matter of fact, whenever he was free, Tang Ling would ask her for the Ro family's teachings to read.
The Ro family's teachings were very complicated and mainly came from ancient Huaxia.
Most of the teachings were about vague divination, geography, and geomancy, but there was a small part that Tang Ling was very interested in.
For example, the part of her medical skills that she learned and a very obscure cultivation method that was hard to understand.
In terms of medical skills, Tang Ling was not as talented as Ro Xin, but it was never a bad thing to learn more.
As for the obscure cultivation method, even with Tang Ling's intellect, he could not understand it easily, but his instinct told him that it was very important. If he could learn it, it might bring him great benefits, so he paid extra attention to it.
He also noticed that the cultivation method, which focused on cultivating one type of spirit but not the spirit itself, was very suitable for Ro Li's strange talent.
Therefore, whenever Tang Ling comprehended something, he would write notes to explain it. It was also a way to repay the Ro family's kindness in sharing the teachings.
Needless to say, the journey was arduous and dusty.
However, no matter how dangerous it was, humans had to grow.
Eight days later, Tang Ling, Ro Xin, and Ro Xin were very close to the Ninth Ruins. Up until then, Tang Ling had gone through four rounds of healing and almost half of the strange blue energy had been consumed. He officially possessed the strength of seven bulls.
As for the Ro family's teachings and the obscure cultivation method, Tang Ling managed to sort out the first part of it.
However, the relatively peaceful days were coming to an end.
Next, they would have to face the strange Ninth Ruins.
