The familiar night fell on this mountain, the darkness spreading like a tide, only the moonlight on the horizon shone down a little. The black jackals below had disappeared, perhaps because they could not find any prey, they had no choice but to retreat.
At this time, the forest was quiet, only one or two low cries of insects could be heard from some unknown weeds.
Lu Chen glanced in the direction of the mountain stream. At this time, it had long since quieted down, and there was no longer any movement.
Lu Chen was expressionless, his face hidden among the branches and leaves looked exceptionally cold, completely different from his usual gentle expression in front of others. In the dim light, his eyes looked especially bright, like a silent beast hiding in the night.
The forest under the night was quiet and cold, after a while, suddenly a figure rushed out of the darkness, staggering and running desperately, not caring even if the thorns in the forest hung on her clothes.
Then, in the distance behind the figure, a few barks suddenly sounded, as if the appearance of the black figure had alarmed something, and then there was a terrible noisy roar, surging over here again.
The black figure heard the shrill cries behind her, her body trembled, ran faster and faster, all the way to the tree where Lu Chen was.
As she got closer, Lu Chen looked down from the tree and suddenly frowned. The person was slender and pretty, but her face was full of fear, it was Yi Xin.
This young girl's face was full of panic and even a little despair, as if she was running forward desperately out of the desire to survive. No one knew how she survived alone in the mountain stream during the day.
Lu Chen frowned, turned his head to look at the darkness in the distance, listening carefully to the distance where the barks came from. After a moment of hesitation, he stretched out his palm and pressed the tree trunk, quietly sliding down from the tree.
As soon as his feet landed on the ground, the feeling was completely different from when he was on the tree. Behind him was a deep darkness, but in the deep shadows, it seemed that a large group of terrible monsters would rush out at any time and tear him to pieces. Without hesitation, Lu Chen turned and ran forward. In this forest, his figure was fast and abnormally agile, looking like a monster, far better than Yi Xin who was running desperately in front of him.
In just a few leaps and bounds, he had caught up to the fleeing woman.
Lu Chen grabbed Yi Xin's arm from behind. Yi Xin's entire body shook violently, and she suddenly let out a shrill cry. Her voice sounded as if her heart was being torn apart, and with despair and a bit of madness on the verge of death, she turned around and slashed with her sword.
The sound of the sword cutting through the air was sharp, it could be seen that Yi Xin used all her strength.
Lu Chen dodged to the side, avoiding the sword, at the same time said in a low voice, "It's me, Lu Chen."
Yi Xin's sword slashed empty air, her body was brought forward two steps, and just as she was about to fight again, she suddenly heard this sentence, her body suddenly trembled, her eyes revealed a look of disbelief, looked at Lu Chen, and then her lips flattened, as if she was about to cry, said, "Brother Lu, my Martial Uncle and Senior Brother, they …"
Lu Chen directly interrupted her crying, grabbed Yi Xin's hand, and ran forward, at the same time he hurriedly said, "Don't talk nonsense! Let's run for our lives first. "
Yi Xin was pulled by him, and she couldn't help but follow him.
But after running for a while, Yi Xin suddenly realized that something was wrong. Lu Chen didn't bring her along the mountain path they came from. Instead, he rushed directly into the dense forest in another direction. There were thorns and weeds everywhere, there was no path at all, and it was extremely difficult to run.
After running for a short distance, Yi Xin felt that not only were her clothes torn a few times, but there were also four or five wounds on her body.
"Are we going the wrong way?" Yi Xin shouted in panic.
Lu Chen did not look back, just pulled her forward, and said at the same time, "Yes, the wild dogs will be here in the blink of an eye. Running along the original path is courting death."
Yi Xin's mind was in a mess, but she could feel Lu Chen's hand holding her steady and strong, making her subconsciously run with Lu Chen.
And in this short time, in the darkness behind them, the terrible barking of the wild dogs had become much clearer. Obviously, the black jackals were rushing over here.
The two of them fled through the thistles and thorns that were almost impenetrable. In just a short while, Yi Xin felt as if she was being sliced apart by a thousand cuts. Her entire body was pierced, torn, and even bleeding by the sharp thorns …
Just when she was at a loss of what to do, all of a sudden, her feet slipped.
In front of the two of them, there was suddenly a downhill slope, and the slope was very steep.
Yi Xin let out a scream, but before she could react, Lu Chen had already grabbed her wrist and dragged her down the hill. They instantly became two rolling gourds, rolling down the hill.
In the darkness, the roar of the wild dogs broke through the air and reached the hillside in the blink of an eye.
There was a fishy smell in the air, but Yi Xin didn't have time to think about it. She had completely lost control of her body and kept rolling around. She didn't know how many rocks and hardwood she hit in the middle, but she was covered in cuts and bruises.
She only felt that the whole world was spinning, and strange stars kept flashing in front of her eyes. Her body seemed to no longer belong to her and was about to fall apart. There was only a blank space in her mind. The only remaining thought was probably: "Am I really going to die in this wilderness?"
…
She didn't know when, but the rolling speed suddenly slowed down. After rolling for a distance, it finally stopped. Yi Xin was in a daze for a while. She stood up, but her body suddenly tilted and fell to the side. After trying several times, she barely managed to maintain her balance and stood on the same spot.
She gasped for breath and looked around. She saw that she was at the bottom of the hill. The surroundings were overgrown with weeds, but there were no tall trees. Moreover, there was the sound of water coming from somewhere nearby.
"Woof woof … Roar …"
A wave of mournful barking came again. Yi Xin's body trembled and she looked back. In the dark night, with the help of the weak moonlight, she could see black shadows jumping on the hillside. It was the ferocious black jackals chasing after them like maggots.
A hand reached out from the shadows again. Lu Chen appeared beside her and grabbed Yi Xin's arm, running forward with large strides.
"Hold your breath!" He shouted loudly.
Yi Xin was stunned and said, "What …"
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly felt her body become light. It was Lu Chen who had jumped out with her!
When they flew over the grass in front of them, the entire terrain suddenly opened up. There was no land under their feet, but a rapid river in the mountains.
"Pu!"
There was a loud sound and water splashed everywhere. The two of them fell directly into the rapid river and disappeared in an instant.
