As soon as the killer appeared, he directly attacked the joints behind the knees of the four people. With a circular arc, the four people were hit at the same time. Interestingly, he only cut off the nerves in the legs of the four people, but did not hurt the muscles. His saber technique was superb. After the saber slash, he turned into a ball of flame and disappeared without a trace, as if he had never been there.
"Go, why don't you go?"
Nangong Yan could not feel his companions moving, so he urged them.
"Young Master, you're useless, we don't dare to move."
The guard captain still felt strange. Although he was in a trance because of the meteorite fire, he could still feel that Nangong Yan did not move behind him. The second young master did not move, and if he moved, the formation would be disrupted.
"Hold it well, I'll count to three, and we'll go together."
"One, two, three!"
The four people were quite united, following the rhythm and moving together. But something interesting happened. None of the four of them moved. This time, Nangong Yan panicked. If he stayed in the Meteorite Forest for a long time without moving, he would definitely be roasted alive. Even if his armor was better than the others, he could not withstand the roasting of the meteorite fire for too long.
They pondered for a while. Since their legs could not move, they might as well climb out. Although the ground was extremely hot, it was better than standing on the spot and being roasted alive. Thus, an interesting scene appeared in the Meteorite Forest. The four people crawled on the ground like turtles wearing armor. Because the armor was thicker, it was a little inconvenient to climb up.
When standing, because the heat insulation boots were thicker, the ground did not feel so hot. Once they lay down, they would die from the heat. The guard captain was still in the center, leading the way to crawl. In this way, after he crawled over, the flames on the ground were slightly suppressed, and when the others crawled again, it would not be so hot.
After crawling for a while, the four people could not hold on anymore. The hot temperature of the ground quickly took away the water on their bodies. At first, they were only thirsty, but later, their whole body became dry, and even their blood became sticky. Their consciousness began to blur, and they could not tell the direction. Even if they crawled, they would be crawling blindly, and they would bump into a standing meteorite.
"Nangong Yan, do you still remember me?"
At this time, Nangong Yan vaguely heard someone talking to him.
"Who is it? Who is calling me?"
"I am the Second Young Master of the Nangong Family, Nangong Yan. I will definitely reward you handsomely for saving me."
Nangong Yan heard someone's voice and shouted excitedly. Unfortunately, because his throat was too dry, his voice wasn't loud. He sincerely hoped that the other party could hear him and only needed to save him.
"Is that so? How much is the reward?"
"Should I save you from the Meteorite Forest or escort you home?"
The person seemed to be very interested in the so-called generous thanks and actually started chatting with Nangong Yan. However, he did not reveal himself. Only his voice could be heard, as if he was negotiating a price.
"Escort me back. Once we reach our destination, the Nangong Family will definitely reward you handsomely!"
Nangong Yan finally saw hope. As long as he returned to the Nangong Family, the burns on his body would definitely be cured. He would never try to be brave again. This kind of hard work should be left to the servants.
"Hehe, as expected, I'm escorting you home again."
"Do you still remember five years ago when someone escorted you home? That person was my brother."
It wasn't that he didn't save Nangong Yan, but he started telling a story. It turned out that his brother had once saved Nangong Yan in the wild. The situation was similar to this time. The guards around him were almost all dead, and Nangong Yan was trapped in the swamp alone.
At this moment, a young man passed by and kindly saved Nangong Yan. Originally, he wanted to save the remaining guards, but Nangong Yan said that he didn't need to save them. He just needed to escort him back to the Nangong Family and they would reward him handsomely. Thus, the young man believed him and escorted him all the way back to the headquarters of the Nangong Family.
However, not only did he not receive the so-called generous reward, but he was also blamed for it. They said that he was the main culprit who framed Nangong Yan. If it wasn't for him, why would he pass by the swamp so coincidentally? Why was he so familiar with the swamp's environment, and why had he just fished Nangong Yan out?
The young man knew that the Nangong Family wanted to renege on their debt, and that they didn't want the items anymore. However, he didn't expect that a few Elders with high Cultivation Levels would appear. Even though he was strong and tried his best to resist, he was still severely injured. What was worse was that he was even soul-searched.
In the end, the Nangong Family confirmed that this young man had indeed passed by the swamp and saved Nangong Yan. He was their savior, but he was beaten to death just like that. Furthermore, they used the most vicious soul-searching method. In the end, even though they knew that they had killed the wrong person, they didn't have any intention of repenting. In order to eliminate the root of the problem, they definitely sent someone to kill this young man's twin brother.
Luckily, this young man and his younger brother were twins, and both of them had a special ability. Before he died, the older brother had already told the younger brother everything. This younger brother had escaped from home long ago, so he was able to escape. Actually, he had been watching Nangong Yan for a long time. Today, he had finally found an opportunity in the Meteorite Forest. He had to thank the person who had led them into the Meteorite Forest.
Du Feng hid in the dark and listened to the entire story. He thought that Nangong Yan really deserved to die, and the Nangong Family was really evil. Rich families were often like this. They would rather kill a thousand innocents than let a single one go. To them, anyone who got close to Nangong Yan must have done it on purpose.
If someone had saved him from the Meteorite Forest and escorted him back to the Nangong Family's headquarters, he definitely wouldn't have been able to escape the fate of having his soul searched.
"Then you just have to save me from the Meteorite Forest. You don't have to escort me home."
"Your brother's matter was a misunderstanding. This time, I promise that I will reward you handsomely."
Nangong Yan still didn't give up. This was his only chance to live. He actually asked this person to save him from the Meteorite Forest. Because once he was out of the Meteorite Forest, he could take out healing pills to eat. At the same time, he could also call for his family to rush over to protect him.
"Is that so? Then what about the rest of the people? Do we save them too?"
The person suddenly changed his words, causing Du Feng to be stunned. What did he mean? He really thought that Nangong Yan would fulfill his promise and reward him handsomely. Even if he didn't go to the Nangong Family's headquarters, they still had ways to hunt him down. He was still being hunted by the Nangong Family.
"Don't worry about them. Just save me."
As expected, Nangong Yan didn't care about the guards' safety at all. Even the most loyal guard leader didn't care about him.
"Very good. You really haven't changed. You can die now."
