Zhang Zhu cursed loudly, but was still dragged into it in the end. After a thrilling chase of life and death, the two managed to shake off a flying elephant. Finally, they reached a cliff and were blocked by two flying elephants.
The ground shook as the flying elephant charged over.
"Lad, split up and run!" Zhang Zhu shouted, pouncing towards the left.
"Oh my god!" Chen Xin shouted, but before he could move, the flying elephant charged over, smashing a huge hole in the cliff and stabbing its tusks into the mountain rocks.
The two flying elephants were temporarily restrained.
"Heaven is protecting me, I am not fated to die!" Zhang Zhu fiercely gasped for breath, lying limply on the ground …
The cliff was shaking, and the two flying elephants were roaring furiously. They continuously shook their heads, causing rock fragments to fly everywhere, and the hole where the tusks were stabbed continued to expand.
Zhang Zhu was shocked, knowing these two flying elephants would soon escape, he quickly propped up his body and tried to get up.
He had just stood up when suddenly the sound of wind came, causing his body to shake!
Swoosh.
A white bone spear with spiral patterns pierced through his back to his chest, then the spear tip was firmly nailed to the ground.
Fresh blood flowed down the bone spear, dripping onto the ground.
Zhang Zhu's movements turned sluggish, his mouth slightly opened, and fresh blood immediately flowed out from the corner of his mouth.
He slowly lowered his head, seeing this fatal spiral bone spear.
At first, he thought it was the white feather flying snow's tusks, but soon, he realized this was a Gu Master's attack.
"Who is it?" He wanted to turn his head and see the culprit behind his back.
But the next second.
Swoosh, another bone spear shot out!
This spear directly pierced through the back of his head, and then came out from his mouth, the spear tip firmly fixed on the ground.
Zhang Zhu was firmly fixed, his eyes widening in vain, but his pupils had shrunk to a point.
He was dead.
He died with everlasting regret.
In a hidden corner, Fang Yuan watched from afar.
These days, he had already thoroughly understood Zhang Zhu's background. This Zhang Zhu was his obstacle, he had to be eliminated.
The two white bone spears gradually disintegrated, turning into specks of white light and dissipating in the air.
Without support, Zhang Zhu fell to the ground.
A White Feather Flying Elephant pulled out its teeth and rushed towards Zhang Zhu's corpse, stomping on it. She stomped them into meat paste and crushed their bones.
The white feathers scattered, and the flying elephant rose from the ground and flew into the air again.
Seeing this, Fang Yuan retracted his gaze, Zhang Zhu was already dead. The flying elephant crushed the body, saving Fang Yuan the work of cleaning up the crime scene.
He quietly retreated.
Not long after he left, the other White-Feathered Flying Elephant also flew away.
Its tusks pierced through the mountain wall, leaving two bowl-sized holes. A large part of the mountain wall caved in, and rubble was scattered all around.
Suddenly, the pile of rubble trembled and a head popped out.
"Oh my god, you scared me to death! Thankfully, I had the bury earth Gu and escaped from this calamity … "Chen Xin crawled out of the ground, breathing roughly as he broke out in cold sweat, feeling lingering fear.
This burial Gu could allow a Gu Master to go underground and hide temporarily. The disadvantage was that once it was used, the Gu Master could only be buried in one place and could not move. Moreover, when activating it, the Gu Master needed to continuously use a large amount of primeval essence.
Chen Xin was chased all along, and only at the last moment did he have the time to use it.
"The situation is getting more and more chaotic, a Gu Master actually tried to assassinate Zhang Zhu." Looking at Zhang Zhu's corpse which had already been stomped into meat paste, Chen Xin swallowed his saliva and fled in panic.
The elephant group wreaked havoc for over two hours before leaving.
Shang Xin Ci and Xiao Die supported each other as they walked out of the rainforest.
Their bodies were covered in mud, looking battered and exhausted. Xiao Die's face was even greenish-purple, evidently she had bumped into something while running.
"Missy …" She was scared out of her wits, death was so close to her that her body trembled as she walked.
Shang Xin Ci patted her hand, trying to comfort her. But in truth, her face was also deathly pale.
Along the way, corpses were everywhere and blood flowed freely. Broken wheels, dead ostriches, black skin fat beetles and winged snakes' corpses were strewn across the merchant road.
As the survivors gradually gathered together, the sounds of moaning, wailing, and sobbing became one.
As the leader of the caravan, Jia Long's face was ashen. The casualties this time were too severe, the entire caravan had suffered severe losses, less than a tenth of them were completely crippled.
After gathering the caravan, there were only over a hundred people left. Most of them were Gu Masters, while a small portion were mortals.
The strongest Jia clan and Chen clan had suffered great losses, not to mention the other caravans. Lin clan only had three Gu Masters left, and some unfortunate clan caravans had even died.
The rainforest was also dangerous, many people did not die from the stampede of the white feather flying elephants, but were instead greeted by the ferocious beasts and poisonous insects in the rainforest.
"Bai Yun, it is great to see you. Earlier in the rainforest, thank you for luring away a white feather flying elephant for us. "In the crowd, Shang Xin Ci found Bai Ning Bing and took the initiative to thank her.
Fang Yuan was not at ease with Bai Ning Bing and was worried she was colluding with Zhang Zhu, thus he personally went to kill Zhang Zhu. And Bai Ning Bing was in charge of secretly following Shang Xin Ci and protecting her life.
"This is nothing, I have always been repaying kindness. Lady Zhang, the one who saved you was not me, but your past good deeds. "Bai Ning Bing said.
She was usually reticent, almost never speaking. If she spoke, she would purposely change her tone and lower her voice.
Right now, she no longer concealed herself and spoke with a normal tone. Her tone was cold and her voice was clear, clearly a female's voice, causing Shang Xin Ci and the servant girl to show a strange expression.
"Right, Bai Yun, have you seen Uncle Zhang Zhu?" Shang Xin Ci asked with an anxious expression, "I have searched everywhere but have not found him."
Bai Ning Bing sighed in her heart, Fang Yuan had already returned, she knew Zhang Zhu was definitely dead.
"Lady, don't worry, Zhang Zhu is a Gu Master with extraordinary skills. He might even be on the way back. "She consoled.
"I hope so." Shang Xin Ci's brows were tightly furrowed, the uneasiness in her heart increasing.
On the other side, leader Jia Long stood at a high place and shouted: "Everyone listen, the smell of blood here will soon attract other beast groups. We need to evacuate quickly. Everyone move quickly, bring as many goods as you can carry. Those that cannot be moved, you have to abandon them. We need to leave this place in fifteen minutes. "
The danger was not over yet, everyone could only forcefully raise their spirits, suppressing the pain in their hearts as they busied themselves.
"Save me, someone save me! My blood is still flowing …. "
"Bring me along, I only lost a leg, I can still walk."
"I beg you, I will give you Yuan stone as a reward. Two, three? Even four will do! "
The servants who were severely injured and couldn't move all let out pleading sounds.
Very few people received help, these crippled people could not bring in manpower, instead they were burdens. Many people were heartlessly abandoned.
Seeing the caravan leaving, many people went crazy and started cursing loudly.
Some people crawled on the ground, trying to catch up to the caravan.
"Save me, Lady Zhang, you are the kindest and kindest!"
"Lady Zhang, please have mercy …."
Shang Xin Ci's footsteps were hesitant, her lips were trembling, her face was pale and her gaze was flustered.
The mountain wind blew her green dress, her hair was disheveled, she was as weak as a grass in a storm.
"Lady Zhang, let's go. Now is not the time for you to be kind. "Fang Yuan walked to her side, held her arm, and forcefully pulled her forward.
Xiao Die, who usually chattered like a sparrow, was now silent, her legs trembling as she hurried along.
"Believe me, everything will be fine." Fang Yuan's tone was gentle.
Shang Xin Ci covered her chest, constantly breathing deeply. As if the air was thin, making it hard for her to breathe.
At first, she only breathed through her nose, but gradually, she opened her mouth, taking in large gulps of air.
Her footsteps became more and more unsteady, her limbs became weaker, if not for Fang Yuan supporting her, she would have collapsed to the ground.
The smell of blood assaulted her nose, her whole body was soaked in sweat, the mountain wind blew, making her shiver.
After this shiver, Shang Xin Ci's breathing gradually calmed down.
After another ten steps, she no longer breathed heavily. After thirty steps, she closed her mouth, her breathing was no longer heavy. After fifty steps, her footsteps became strong again, no longer needing Fang Yuan's support.
The mountain road extended upwards, she walked up a slope, a gust of mountain wind blew, completely messing up her hair.
She stretched out her hand, tidying it up as she walked.
When she tidied up her hair, the confusion, fear, and worry in her eyes disappeared, only leaving behind a determined look.
"Thank you." She said to Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan nodded, letting go of her hand.
Standing on the slope, she slowly stopped and looked behind her.
"Do you know? This is the most difficult road I've walked since I was born. "She sighed, her face was still pale, her voice extremely soft.
Fang Yuan's lips curled into a smile, this was Shang Xin Ci? As expected of someone famous in the Southern Border.
Even Bai Ning Bing could not help but look at Shang Xin Ci in a different light.
For a mortal girl, to be able to adjust so quickly after encountering such a tragedy, it was not easy.
On this road, there were incessant sounds of begging and crying, these sounds were nothing to Fang and Bai, but to Shang Xin Ci, it was the greatest torture and interrogation!
Especially when Zhang Zhu was missing, her greatest support had disappeared, Shang Xin Ci could bravely face all of this, it was truly praiseworthy.
This road was an ordinary mountain road, but it was also a difficult and anxious mental road. Shang Xin Ci gritted her teeth, did not collapse, and walked forward with determination.
As if in an instant, she had matured.
Fang Yuan chuckled, looking at Shang Xin Ci with a profound gaze: "Miss Zhang, you have a kind heart, why don't you go and save those people who have been abandoned?"
These words were met with an angry glare from Xiao Die.
Shang Xin Ci smiled bitterly: "If I could save them, I would definitely do it. Unfortunately, even if I tried my best, I would not be able to save them. "
"Hehehe." Fang Yuan laughed, "This is what I admire about you the most. Irrational kindness is a crime. Although you are a mortal, you make me admire you. Miss Zhang, on the road of life, there are many trials and tribulations, sometimes the road is very muddy, as long as you do your best, you can feel at ease. "
Shang Xin Ci looked at Fang Yuan, her beautiful eyes flashing.
She had already faintly guessed that Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing were not mortals. Fang Yuan's words just now confirmed this point.
In her mind, she had unintentionally given some help to Fang and Bai. These could only be considered small favors, but she had won the recognition and appreciation of Fang and Bai.
After that, Fang and Bai had repaid her several times. First, Fei Hou Mountain helped her, then they helped her earn money, and just now they saved her life.
She was a weak girl who had been exiled by her family, and most of her goods had been lost, what was there for them to covet?
Nothing!
Under such circumstances, they still stood by her side. Just this action alone showed that although they were mysterious, their characters were pure and upright, and their hearts hid the truth, kindness, and beauty.
It was his good fortune to run into them.
Thinking of this, Shang Xin Ci's heart could not help but ripple. She stared deeply at Fang Yuan and sincerely said.
"Thank you."
Although it was only two words, it revealed the deep gratitude in her heart.
Bai Ning Bing could not help but roll her eyes.
If Shang Xin Ci knew that almost all the disasters were single-handedly directed by Fang Yuan. What kind of attitude would she have then?
