The ancient river was the number one wonder of the Eight Ancient Continents.
The river was thousands of zhang wide. It flowed from the God of Heaven Mountain, the highest peak in the continent, to the southeast. It was tens of millions of li long, cutting half of the continent.
The ancient river was dangerous, and only death awaited. The river was turbulent, flowing for thousands of li. Above the river, the wind was strong, and the waves were huge. Standing by the ancient river was like standing in front of the gates of hell. People could hear the cries of ghosts and howls of wolves, which made their hair stand on end!
Not only that, there were cliffs on both sides of the ancient river. The lowest point was more than one hundred zhang high, and the highest point was like a perilous mountain. Standing by the ancient river and looking down, it was like a bottomless abyss!
It was the truth. Since the Antiquity Era, the ancient river had buried countless corpses. Whether it was the lowly slaves or the peerless experts, they were all swallowed by this ferocious river. No one dared to offend the power of the ancient river. And no one had ever heard of anyone who had fallen into the ancient river and survived.
The Eight Ancient Era, Year 13,624.
Tonight, the ancient river was extremely terrifying. For some reason, the river water became abnormally fierce. Strong winds rose everywhere, and huge waves rose to the sky!
Above the ancient river, dark clouds covered the sky. Lightning flashed and thunder roared. Heavy rain poured down, hitting the rocks and creating terrifying noises. Black lightning bolts struck the ancient river from the sky. The sky darkened as if it was the end of the world!
On a cliff by the ancient river, a woman was riding a giant beast covered in red flames. She was hurrying. She was holding a newborn baby in her arms!
The woman was young and beautiful. She was worthy of the title of Devastatingly Beautiful. However, her beautiful face had no color. It was as pale as a sheet of paper. Her face was covered in water. People couldn't tell if it was the rain or the woman's sweat. The baby in her arms was crying in the rain. She could only try her best to use her body to shield the baby from the rain. However, the more she tried, the weaker her body became.
All of a sudden, the woman's mind went blank. Her body swayed, and she was about to fall off the giant beast! The giant beast immediately felt it. It hurried to shake its back to stabilize the woman.
After a short period of blankness, the woman forced herself to regain some consciousness. Her head was very dizzy, so dizzy that she could no longer control it.
The giant beast turned around to look at the weak woman on its back. Its eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. Suddenly, it let out an unwilling roar from its mouth. Its four legs exerted even more force as it rushed forward! Its ferocious claws scratched the ground, and the steel-like stones on the ground were instantly crushed into powder!
No one knew better than this giant beast what had happened to this woman. The woman, who had just given birth, was pulled out of bed and fled with her child. Until now, they had been running in the storm for a full six hours. For any woman, this was fatal!
Now, this huge beast only hated the fact that it couldn't fly in the sky like the Vermilion Bird or the Dragon Clan. Although it was the fastest on land, it looked like a rapidly spreading flame to the naked eye. Wherever it passed, it would leave behind fireballs that even the torrential rain couldn't extinguish. However, it was surrounded and intercepted by enemies from all directions, so it was forced to rush in one direction. At the end of the road was the ancient river with no chance of survival. This was something the giant beast knew very well.
Pfft …
The giant beast suddenly felt that the woman on its back was about to fall. This time, the fall was very big. It could not rely on shaking its back to support her. In a moment of desperation, the giant beast turned around in the air and directly hugged the woman into its arms. Then, it slammed its back heavily onto the ground!
Rumble!
The huge impact created a deep trench on the ground. After a long time, it finally stopped! After it stopped, the giant beast quickly spread out its forelimbs and looked nervously at the woman in its arms.
The woman's face was even paler, like a piece of paper soaked in the rain. The woman weakly struggled out of the giant beast's arms. She did not care about herself. Instead, she quickly looked down at the child in her arms.
The child seemed to be frightened and cried even harder. The cries seemed to merge with the incessant lightning falling from the sky. The woman looked down and saw that the child was still alive. Her lower lip was slightly pursed and tears fell down.
When the giant beast saw that the woman and child were fine, it actually heaved a sigh of relief. Following that, the giant beast actually stood to the side, and a fog suddenly appeared around its body. When the fog dissipated, it actually turned into a tall red-haired woman!
"Xiao Ting, how are you feeling?" The red-haired woman quickly squatted down and looked at the woman's appearance.
The woman looked up at the red-haired woman and forced a pale smile. She said weakly, "I'm fine. I'm fine."
The woman's voice was like water and a song, like an orchid in an empty valley. Even though she was in dire straits, her temperament did not diminish. It made the so-called noble ladies in the world feel ashamed of their inferiority.
The torrential rain poured down and the lightning became more frequent. The raging waves of the ancient river slammed against the cliff, causing the mountains to shake.
Before the red-haired woman could say anything, the woman spoke again. This time, she said weakly, "The ancient river is right in front of us. I have nowhere to go, but you are different. You are so strong. As long as you don't bring me and the child, you can definitely break through the encirclement. "
"What are you saying?!" When the red-haired woman heard Xiao Ting's words, her face was filled with anger. She said, "Am I such a coward in your heart? Today, I must keep you alive. If they want to kill you, they have to step over my dead body first. I don't believe they dare to offend the Flaming Lion Tribe! "
"They don't dare to offend the Flaming Lion Tribe, but they dare to kill you." The woman murmured softly. She coughed twice and said weakly, "There are too many of them. You are alone. Once they have the intention to kill you, who can testify for you? If you die because of me, I won't be at ease on the road to hell. "
"Xiao Ting!" The red-haired woman did not listen to her. Instead, she became even angrier. She said loudly, "I said, no one will die today! I will change back to my original form and continue on our way! "
"Red Coat!" Seeing that the red-haired woman was about to change back to her beast form, the woman could not help but reprimand her, "Can you wake up? The ancient river is right in front of us. Where can we escape to?!"
The red-haired woman, who was called Red Coat, trembled. She stood still on the spot. A bolt of lightning struck behind her. A voice of despair sounded.
"Then what should I do? I can't just watch you die!" Red Coat's eyes turned red. She knelt beside the woman and sobbed, "We agreed that I would take you to the Flaming Lion Tribe to play …"
"In the next life." The woman smiled and said softly, "With a good sister like you in this life, I can die without regrets."
Red Coat could not help but turn her head away after hearing that. Her tears flowed profusely.
The woman lowered her head and looked at the child in her arms who was gradually calming down. She smiled from the bottom of her heart. Before she died, she was lucky enough to experience the feeling of being a mother. It was a gift from God.
"Give the child a name." Red Coat had already turned her head. Her eyes were red as she looked at the woman and the child. She sobbed.
The woman was stunned. She nodded quickly and said, "You are right. The child can't be born without a name."
As she spoke, the woman lowered her head and looked at the child who had fallen asleep. Although there was still thunder and lightning, the child was sleeping soundly.
"I don't want him to have the same fate as Mother. I only hope that he can live a peaceful life. Even if it is impossible in this life, I hope that he can live well in the next life. "As she spoke, a tear fell from the woman's cheek. She said softly," Let's name him Ye An. "
"No!" The woman in red was furious when she heard that. She said loudly, "Xiao Ting, that man caused you so much trouble. How can you still use his surname? How can this child use his surname?! "
The woman was stunned. She looked at the angry Red Coat and smiled faintly. "That's true."
Then, she lowered her head and looked at the child in her arms. She said softly, "Then you will use Mother's surname. You will be Lu An."
The child in her arms seemed to feel something. Although he was sleeping soundly, he revealed a beautiful smile.
"The child understands! The child understands! "Red Coat was so happy that she danced with joy when she saw the smile.
The woman also smiled sweetly. Then, as if she had thought of something, she took off the ring on her finger.
Hong Yi was startled. She saw the woman take off the necklace around her neck. She took off the extremely expensive pendant and tossed it aside. Then, she used the necklace to string the ring around the child's neck.
"If you are still willing to be my child in the next life, I will definitely take good care of you." The woman leaned over and gently kissed the child's forehead. She softly said, "This ring has always been worn by mother. Even if you don't want to be my child in the next life, I will definitely find you and make it up to you."
Rumble! Rumble!
─ ─ ─ ─ ─
The sound of running and the shrill chirping of birds came from afar. The woman and Red Specter turned to look, and they saw the colorful light in the sky and the crowd on the ground!
Twenty miles away, a group of beasts was running wildly. There were many types of beasts. Each of these strange beasts looked extremely powerful, and on each of these strange beasts sat an expert of the continent. It formed a line from north to south. Mud splattered everywhere, and the earth trembled!
In the sky, there were all sorts of flying strange beasts with people standing on their backs. Some of the strange beasts even had more than ten people standing on their backs. The densely packed flying strange beasts even covered the black clouds!
"What extravagance!" Red Specter looked at the enemies in the distance, gritted her teeth and sneered coldly.
"Red Specter, leave now!" The woman suddenly stood up. Although she was swaying, she used all her strength to push Red Specter. She said anxiously, "There is no need for you to die here with me. You still have your own home. Leave now!"
Red Specter watched as the woman kept pushing her. Although she could not move her, Red Specter's heart was in a mess when she saw the woman's anxious look.
Seeing the woman's increasingly anxious expression and pleading words, Red Specter could not bear it. She actually roared angrily at the sky. Then, she lowered her head and said loudly, "Xiao Ting, I swear on the honor of the Flaming Lion tribe that I will avenge you!"
With that, she leaped into the air and instantly transformed into a Flaming Lion that was emitting red flames. She looked back at the woman with reluctance, then gritted her teeth and ran in another direction!
Seeing Red Specter leave, the woman finally felt relieved. A gratified smile appeared on her beautiful face. She turned her head and looked at the approaching people.
The mystical beasts were too fast. In less than half a cup of tea's time, they had already arrived in front of the woman.
The woman could clearly see that in the middle of the group of mystical beasts, there was a man riding on a huge flood dragon. He was her beloved husband. Her husband, on the other hand, was looking down at her with a cold and condescending expression.
She, who was still fantasizing, finally lost all hope when she saw the cold expression in his eyes.
The woman lowered her head and hugged the child in her arms even tighter. Just as the mystical beasts were about to arrive, she suddenly turned around and ran towards the ancient river!
The man on the flood dragon was stunned when he saw this. Then, he saw the woman leaping into the air from the cliff!
When the crowd saw this, they all stopped their mystical beasts and stared at this scene with their mouths agape!
Unfortunately, a woman carrying a child down a cliff that was thousands of feet high. There was probably no echo at all.
Just when the crowd did not know what to do, they saw a large green bird flying towards the black flood dragon. When it arrived, the man on the bird respectfully reported to the man on the flood dragon, "Reporting to Young Master, I personally saw that woman and child fall into the ancient river!"
When he heard the news from his subordinate, a trace of sorrow flashed across the man's eyes. However, it quickly disappeared and was replaced by the excitement of victory.
"Saves me the trouble of doing it myself." The man smiled coldly. Then, he looked up at the sky and said loudly, "From now on, the Ye family of Jiangdong will rise again and return to the top of the continent!"
When the crowd heard this, they all lowered their heads and said loudly, "Congratulations Young Master! Congratulations Young Master! … "
