When everything calmed down, almost everyone fell to the ground. Yuan Jing's forehead was still embedded with the blunt knife. His body was covered in blood, and he looked more like a devil than a human. Meng Tian helped to treat Yuan Jing's wounds. Blood flowed freely. Fortunately, the effect of freezing the wounds was passable. At this time, there was no time to care too much. The four of them were covered in wounds, and they were no better than ghosts. However, everyone's eyes were very determined. Only battles could make people grow.
The moment they were captured, they already knew their fate. There was no luck in survival. They had to fight for themselves, even if there was only a sliver of a chance.
In the Thorn Forest, daylight was always too short. The stars had just tilted to the horizon, and the sunlight had already disappeared from the forest floor. The Thorn World was shrouded in darkness, and it made the danger even more treacherous.
Xie Yuxin took out a Cold Light Stick from his backpack and twisted it gently. It emitted a cold white light, similar to the aura of a luminous plant. It would not cause any abnormal movements in the Thorn Forest. However, in fact, in this battlefield, there was no need to be so careful. The nearby thorns, after digesting countless Slayers, had already fallen into a deep sleep. Before digesting, they would not have any tendency to attack.
Seeing the light, those who could still move struggled to get up. Then, they surrounded the Cold Light Stick, sitting or lying down to catch their breath.
Meng Tian found Shen Liang's belongings. He was such a big person, but in the end, she only found his military tag.
"Captain, Ge Ping seems to be dying!"
Meng Tian, who was staring at Shen Liang's military tag in a daze, immediately put it away carefully and trotted over.
Huo Dong and Kang Siqi looked helplessly at Ge Ping, who was vomiting blood.
The two of them were the standard burden. These few days, Ge Ping was mainly responsible for taking care of them.
After vomiting blood, Ge Ping regained consciousness. He looked at Huo Dong and Kang Siqi and smiled. "What are you crying for? You guys better live well. Otherwise, I would have died in vain. "
"Ge Ping, don't talk! Save your strength. You will be fine! "Huo Dong's eyes were a little pale. He clenched his fist tightly. He hated himself for being useless.
"Old Huo, Siqi, you must leave this place with the captain. You must … live …"
Ge Ping spat out another mouthful of blood, his chest heaving violently, but his pale face suddenly had a trace of red. Everyone's hearts sank, it was the final radiance of a setting sun.
Ge Ping turned around and looked at Meng Tian.
"Captain …"
"Don't speak." Meng Tian did not know what to do. If Ge Ping had a healing pod, he would be back to full health in an hour. However, there was nothing here. He could only watch as his teammate fell.
"Captain, can you smile for me just once …"
Meng Tian was stunned. She took a deep breath and calmly revealed a smile that was not a smile.
The blush on Ge Ping's face deepened. "So beautiful …"
Thank you, let me stay by your side, like a warrior.
Thank you for letting me fight for you like a knight.
Thank you for letting me die for you, like a hero.
Huo Dong and Kang Siqi fiercely rushed towards Xie Yuxin. The two people with low combat power were fighting against Xie Yuxin, who was obviously above Earth Rank.
"Why did you bring us here?!"
Xie Yuxin did not retaliate and silently endured. This result was destined, but this choice was necessary.
He looked at Xie Yuxin and said, "Don't be like this. Xie Yuxin might have made a cruel choice, but it was definitely the right one. The moment we became soldiers, we were prepared to die. At least our brothers got what they asked for and died honorably. Don't cry and don't be irritable. You guys are not the combat type, but you have your own strengths. If everyone wants to leave this place alive, your strength cannot be lacking. So, live well! “
Three days later …
The six people, riddled with injuries, stood in an ancient temple.
"We're here." Xie Yuxin looked at the runic matrices on the ground of the ancient temple that resembled Atlantis. His expression was calm. They had finally arrived.
No one cheered. After going through so much, the will of these six people had already changed, and they had hidden their feelings deeply.
No one blamed Xie Yuxin anymore. In this period of time, they had met other teams in the forest, and had even seen dozens of people being wiped out. The tragic scene and the screams were still fresh in their minds. Without Xie Yuxin, they would have long become a part of the Slayers.
Boom …
Suddenly, the seemingly broken runic matrices lit up. Everyone was on their guard, but Xie Yuxin did not change.
An old man wearing a long gray robe appeared in the runic matrices. The expressions of Meng Tian and the rest changed, especially Yuan Jing and Mengha, who were already prepared to attack. This was the mastermind, but Xie Yuxin had stopped their childish actions in time.
"Not bad. Being able to find this place, all of you are qualified to advance further. Follow me."
The old man in the gray robe said lightly, then turned and walked into the temple.
"This is … Atlantis technology?" Yuan Jing asked curiously while rubbing the scar on his forehead that had not fully healed. This had become his habit.
"Those runes are just decorations. In essence, it is some kind of space teleportation technology. The technology of this mastermind organization is stronger than we thought." Xie Yuxin gave a simple introduction. Although he was not an expert in space technology, Xie Yuxin was more knowledgeable in technology than the rest.
Mengha's eyes flashed. "He's from the Saint? He looks like an important person. Why don't we … "
Xie Yuxin smiled. "Do you think he has any respect for us?"
Everyone was stunned, and suddenly felt that they were very childish. This old man appeared so easily, and even showed his back to them so casually. This showed that he did not have any respect for them at all.
But they could not feel any power from this old man. This could only mean one thing. He was either a super expert, or he had nothing to fear. With the characteristics of this organization, the possibility of the former was very high.
The old man in the gray robe, who had his back facing them, smiled and ignored them. After entering, the old man did not say much. He easily untied everyone's bracelets. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief, and even felt a little excited. This momentary mental fluctuation could not be hidden from the old man in the gray robe.
But the old man in the gray robe was obviously more concerned about Xie Yuxin. He did not say much, and after finishing, the old man entered the teleportation matrix and disappeared again.
The six of them looked at each other. Although they did not say that they were out of danger, they finally got their freedom. This feeling was indescribable.
"Yuxin, does this old man know you?" Meng Tian suddenly asked.
Xie Yuxin shrugged. "My bracelet was untied by him. Although I don't know what level he is in the Saint, he is definitely not an ordinary person. Actually, I wanted to help at the start, but … there was no chance at all."
