A violent whirlpool appeared in the pool of water that was around twenty meters in diameter. At that moment, the water in the pool danced, and the water outside the pool splashed in all directions. A small rainstorm began to fall in the cave.
Xue Mei stood not far from the pool. Her hand was still tightly gripping the rock she had pushed into the pool. Her eyes were filled with reluctance as she stared at the churning pool. Even when the pool gradually returned to its previous calm state, she was still unwilling to look away.
"Xue Mei, I have no family in this world for a long time.
"It was you who made me feel the care of my family.
"Although it was very short, Xue Mei has engraved it in my heart.
"My parents are very powerful and are the leaders of my clan. I don't know if today's battle will end well or not.
"That's why I let you go first. If fate wills it, I hope I'll be able to meet you again in the future."
Xue Mei looked at the pool that was as calm as a mirror as she muttered to herself. No one else could hear her, and her blood-red eyes were already filled with tears. The sparkling and translucent tears had already dyed her pure face. It was a lovely and touching scene that made others feel pity for her.
"Wah! Damn it! "
There was a powerful undercurrent in the depths of the pool. The ground around the undercurrent seemed to have been imbued with a barrier that strengthened the power of the undercurrent. Xing Jue was currently flowing with the undercurrent. No matter how hard he struggled, it was to no avail. He could only drift further and further away from Xue Mei.
There was no air in the undercurrent deep underground. With Xing Jue's current strength, he would not have died even if he did not eat or drink in the Sky Martial Continent. However, the lack of air here was enough to suffocate him very quickly. If this continued for a long time, even if he could continue living, his body would be separated from his soul and he would become a spirit body.
In a situation where there was no air to breathe for a long time, Xing Jue gradually felt his head swell and his vision darken. Even the sound of the flowing water roaring in his ears gradually disappeared. He had already fallen into a state of coma due to lack of oxygen.
Within the territory of the Starfall Empire, three hundred miles away from the Sand City, there was a vast mountain range. Within the mountain range, there was a rapidly flowing river. Within the river, a naked man was floating on the surface of the water. His face was pale, but he was still breathing. That was none other than Xing Jue.
At this moment, Xing Jue's belly was bulging. It was obvious that he had drunk a lot of river water. His eyes were tightly shut. As the waves surged around him, one could actually hear the snoring coming from his nose. He had actually fallen asleep!
Although Xing Jue had drunk a lot of river water and was suffering from severe hypoxia, he was still alive. Moreover, he was still sleeping soundly. As for whether he was sleeping soundly, one could tell from the smile on his pale face that he was having a good time.
Plop!
"Wuwa!"
But at that moment, a huge rock suddenly appeared in front of Xing Jue. The rock was so huge that it was unbelievably huge. The rock was so huge that it was as if a small mountain was sitting in the middle of the river. In addition to the fact that the river water was rather rapid, the moment Xing Jue collided with it, a piercing pain instantly woke Xing Jue up.
Fortunately, with Xing Jue's current strength, although this kind of hard rock could make him feel pain, it was unable to cause any harm to his body.
Cough cough cough.
After waking up, Xing Jue felt a strong light directly shooting into his eyes. It was so piercing that he could not open his eyes. It was only after a while that his condition improved. When he was able to see the situation in front of him clearly, he felt a huge amount of energy surging up from his abdomen. It was only when he broke out of his abdomen that Xing Jue realized just how much river water he had drunk. Looking at the river water that was spat out, Xing Jue also recalled his previous experience.
"Where is this?" After regaining his consciousness, Xing Jue leaped onto the boulder that had woken him up and began to size up everything in front of him.
It was only then that he realized that at that moment, on one side of Xing Jue, there was a continuous stretch of mountains that reached the blue sky. The mountains were verdant, with birds chirping and fragrant flowers, and ancient trees growing everywhere. Apart from the pleasant chirping of birds, he could also hear the roars of beasts.
On the other side, there was a vast forest. The forest was as green as the mountains, and it was verdant. From time to time, the singing of birds and the howling of beasts could be heard. Without thinking too much, Xing Jue knew that he was in nature with fresh air at that moment. He had long left the cave that was full of blood.
Bang!
"That girl, Xue Mei, what is she planning?"
When he thought about how Xue Mei had tricked him into the pool and then washed him here by the current, Xing Jue punched the huge rock below him hard. A huge pit was formed on the extremely hard rock, and countless cracks were spreading rapidly across the huge rock. The powerful punch showed how angry Xing Jue was.
His anger was not only because Xue Mei had deceived him, but also because he guessed that there must be some unknown danger in the cave. It was because of this danger that Xue Mei had asked him to go first. However, was Xing Jue someone who would lose a friend because of danger? That was why he was so angry.
"Help, help! Help me! Woo!!!! "
However, at that moment, a clear shout suddenly came from the forest not far away. The voice was pleasant and loud, and it was obviously a boy's voice.
"Roar, roar!"
Looking over, Xing Jue realized that a boy who was about ten years old was running towards the river in a panic. Behind him was a huge white bear that was ten times bigger than him.
The huge bear was white in color, but it had a pair of long ears that resembled a rabbit's ears. At first glance, it looked quite beautiful.
However, compared to its super cute ears, the fangs in its mouth were much more terrifying. This was not an ordinary wild beast, but a magical beast known as the Bunny Bear.
"Trash, they clearly have the same level of strength, yet they are being chased so pathetically. What a piece of trash!"
When he realized that the Bunny Bear that was chasing the boy only had the strength of a Battle-Saint, just like the boy, Xing Jue couldn't help but laugh and scold it.
This was because when Xing Jue was the boy's age, he was already a high-level martial artist. Even though he was only ten years old, there was almost no one who was a match for Xing Jue among those who were at the same level as him.
Even though Xing Jue was almost two meters taller and several times stronger than Xing Jue, as long as his strength was not above that of Xing Jue, Xing Jue could easily defeat him with his agility. However, when he looked at the boy in the distance, there was a huge gap between them. At this moment, Xing Jue finally understood why the Divine Secret Unit liked to recruit people from the mortal world.
Even though he was scolding the boy for being useless, Xing Jue had already leaped into the air like a vigorous ape. After a beautiful somersault in the air, he turned into a swift cheetah and rushed towards the boy at an extreme speed. However, his speed was far beyond that of a cheetah.
"Wah!"
At this moment, the boy was running towards the river with all his might because he knew that the Bunny Bear was not good at swimming. Once he reached the river, he would be saved. However, at this moment, he realized that a naked man had suddenly appeared in the river. The man's speed was so fast that he couldn't even see his face. He was like a gust of wind that was rapidly approaching him.
"Bear Demon, die."
Xing Jue's feet moved as he displayed the Imperial Wind Technique. In an instant, he had already arrived in front of the boy. Then, he opened his palm and struck out abruptly. A strong gust of wind exploded out from his palm. He didn't use any Battle Qi, it was purely the strength of his palm and the wind that was stirred up.
"Bang!"
"Roar!"
However, it was precisely this kind of palm wind that bombarded the body of the rabbit-eared bear that felt as if it had been hit by a force of ten thousand catties. At that moment, the rabbit-eared bear only felt a sharp pain rapidly spreading through its body. As the pain spread, its tendons and bones broke and its meridians ruptured wherever it passed. By the time the pain had spread to its entire body, it had already breathed its last and died, its heavy body falling onto the grass.
"Not bad, it's quite fat. It should be enough for me to eat."
After slapping the bear to death, Xing Jue smiled in satisfaction. After fighting in the cave and being washed by the river for an unknown period of time, Xing Jue was already so hungry that his body was weak and his stomach was protesting.
"Wah!!!!!"
"Big Brother Naked Man, you're so handsome! You're too amazing! You're … you're even stronger than our village chief! "
However, just as Xing Jue was thinking about how to eat the bear, he suddenly heard the excited voice of the boy behind him.
Turning around, he saw that the boy's eyes, which were not small to begin with, had widened to the size of a cow. His mouth was wide open and he was even drooling. He looked like a pervert who had seen a beautiful woman, or a drunkard who had seen a delicious meal.
"Go, go, go. Little wimp, go back to where you came from. This place is very dangerous. It's not suitable for you to play hide and seek!"
Towards the boy's actions, Xing Jue glared at him in disdain. Then, he no longer paid attention to him. He opened his palm and prepared to chop this rabbit ear bear into pieces. One should know that with Xing Jue's current strength, his palm was like a blade, comparable to a treasured weapon. Even treasured swords and sabers could not compare to it.
"Little Ming, Little Ming, where are you?"
However, just as Xing Jue was about to cut open the belly of the rabbit-eared bear … Shouts could be heard from the forest in the distance. However, this time, the voice was completely different from the boy's. Although it was equally loud, it sounded old and powerless. It was obviously the voice of an old man.
"Grandpa, I'm here!"
"Ah, Little Ming, why are you here? You've worried me to death."
Sure enough, when the voice approached, the figure of a little old man also appeared. After seeing this old man, the little boy who was entangled by Xing Tian's side was even more overjoyed. With eyes filled with tears, he fell into the old man's embrace. The grandfather and grandson were already in a ball of bitterness.
"Grandpa, I encountered a rabbit-eared bear just now and was almost eaten. It was this big brother who saved me!" Suddenly, Little Ming pointed his finger at Xing Jue who was sitting on the rabbit-eared bear not far away.
It just so happened that Xing Jue was also staring at them. The reason why Xing Jue did not continue to attack the rabbit-eared bear was because he was salivating at the thing in the old man's hands. It was a roasted rabbit.
"Oh my, thank you so much, Young Hero. You were able to kill such a huge rabbit-eared bear. You're really skilled." After hearing Little Ming's words, the old man walked toward Xing Jue with a face full of gratitude.
"Forget it, Young Hero. But old man, do you mind letting me have a bite of that rabbit of yours?" Xing Jue did not care about the old man's words of gratitude. Instead, he pointed at the steaming rabbit in the old man's hands and asked with a smile.
