As soon as she said that, everyone on the ground immediately stood up, looking excited!
Finally, they found a way to go!
In fact, they had been here for six days and hadn't found a good way out. Now that they finally found a way to leave, hope reappeared in their hearts that had been filled with despair!
The hope at this moment really stimulated everyone's desire to live! Immediately, the ground was filled with cheers. Everyone was celebrating with shouts!
Even the people beside Yu Yan were the same. Yu Yan was the only one who wasn't celebrating.
Not only was she not celebrating, but on the contrary, her eyes became more solemn.
The northeast was not the north.
The north was completely blocked here. According to the people who came from the north, the entire north had been engulfed by the blood-red fog. Even a level-seven expert would need more than half a year to travel here at full speed. In other words, the distance was basically the same as the distance from the Yu Residence to here. This was only the distance that these people had experienced. The actual distance might be even greater.
With such a distance, it was basically impossible to go around it and return to the north. In other words, the next journey was to go to the northeast, and they wouldn't be able to come back after walking a certain distance. The future route would be further and further away from the north.
Because of this, Yu Yan's eyebrows became more and more furrowed.
Soon, the people who were cheering around her realized that Yu Yan wasn't as happy as they were. Instead, she was still sitting on the ground with a solemn expression, not saying a word. Seeing Yu Yan like this, their hearts tightened, and they immediately realized something!
"Miss! We have to go! " One of them hurriedly persuaded, "If we go to the northeast, we still have a chance to survive. If we stay here, this place will be engulfed by the fog in a few days, and we'll definitely die!"
"That's right!" Another person hurriedly persuaded, "It's been almost three years. If Lu An wanted to come back, he would've come back long ago. Why wait until now? Miss, he hasn't come for three years. Do you think he'll come in a few days?! "
"If he doesn't come for three years, he might've forgotten about this!" Another person persuaded, "Miss, you should go. We can protect you along the way. If you don't go, we can't go either. We can only die here with you!"
"…"
Each person said a few words, and they kept persuading Yu Yan. Yu Yan knew that these people were very loyal and had always been protecting her. If she didn't leave, these people wouldn't leave either. But … she could die here, but these people couldn't die because of her willfulness.
"I'll stay here." Yu Yan opened her mouth and cut off their voices. Amidst the cheers, she said in a low voice, "All of you, go. Live well."
Their bodies trembled, and one of them immediately said, "If Young Miss doesn't leave, we definitely can't leave!"
"No, this is an order." Yu Yan looked at them and said seriously, "You won't disobey my orders, right?"
"…"
Their expressions were ugly as they looked at each other anxiously. Yu Yan was the Young Miss, her status was much higher than theirs. They had to listen to the Young Miss's orders, no matter when.
But …
"It's settled then." Yu Yan did not give them a chance to speak, and calmly said, "I'm tired, and I don't want to run anymore. If he doesn't come, it means that this is my fate. So many people have already died. We have also seen too many people die. It doesn't matter if I'm one more. "
"…"
They looked at Yu Yan anxiously, but they could also see that the Young Miss really did not want to leave. There was no desire to leave in her eyes.
That's right, Yu Yan did not have any desire to leave. Because the meaning of running was not to survive, but to wait for Lu An to come and see her.
It seemed that she could not wait any longer.
Rumble …
Everyone in the open space packed their bags, creating a series of noises. Everyone was using all their strength. The hope of survival filled them with cleanliness. There was always a way out. They all believed that as long as they did not give up, there would always be a chance to survive. Once they gave up, they would truly lose all hope.
Under the leadership of the leader, everyone quickly moved and headed towards the northeast. They had to be fast, and they had to fight for time against the movement of the fog.
Soon, most of them had already rushed towards the northeast. Those who stayed behind were also preparing at full speed. There were fewer and fewer people. Their speed was based on the speed of an early stage class seven. It was definitely not slow. If they did not follow, it was very likely that they would be left behind.
"Young Miss!" The strongest person among them spoke again. His voice was very anxious, and he wished that he could forcefully take the Young Miss away.
Finally, Yu Yan stood up. They were immediately overjoyed, thinking that the Young Miss had thought it through. However, they did not expect that the Young Miss would actually bow to them.
"Thanks to your care along the way, I was able to survive until now." Yu Yan looked at them and said sincerely, "After this farewell, I hope that you can survive."
"…"
Their faces were immediately as pale as paper. They looked at Yu Yan in disbelief, unable to say a word.
"Go quickly." Yu Yan's voice was very calm. "If you don't go now, you won't be able to catch up."
They looked at each other. Finally, after a few breaths, the strongest person gritted his teeth and said loudly, "We did not protect the Young Miss well. If there is a next life, we hope that we can fulfill our duties!"
Immediately, they bowed to Yu Yan and said sincerely, "If there is a next life, we will fulfill our duties!"
After saying that, they gritted their teeth and turned around. With a heart full of self-blame, they chased towards the northeast!
Not long after, the entire open space was empty. Except for Yu Yan, there was no one else.
Silence.
There was a deathly silence.
There was no sound here. There was no wind. It was so quiet that it was easy to have an illusion. Yu Yan was very tired. She sat on the ground again and leaned on the cloth bag behind her to rest.
This was the cloth bag that they left for her. The things inside were enough for her to stay here for seven days. In comparison, the blood fog from all directions would definitely reach here in less than seven days. Not to mention seven days, she probably wouldn't even need four days.
This was the last time of her life.
After fleeing for more than half a year, she didn't even know how long it had been since she washed her face, let alone dress up. Water was too scarce. It was very difficult to drink, let alone do something as extravagant as washing her face.
Yu Yan opened the cloth bag. There was a lot of water inside. If she calculated that she only had three days to live, the remaining water was just enough for her to wash herself.
After all, she was a woman. Her love for beauty was at play. She wanted to die a clean death.
Actually, in her heart, she already knew that Lu An would not come. It was just that she was unwilling to admit it. It was just wishful thinking.
Now that she took the initiative to accept death, she saw this clearly and let go of all expectations. She prepared to wash herself on the last day. This way, she could change herself back to how she was before she fled.
After hurting the cloth bag, Yu Yan leaned on it again. She raised her head and looked up at the top floor that was more than six thousand feet high.
All along, in the underground world, the lower one was the most important. This was because the lower one went, the higher one's strength. But in the real world, the higher one was the most important.
What was the outside world like?
— — —
— — —
The fourth floor, within the blood fog.
Boom!!!
Lu An flew at full speed without any scruples. There were no level nine experts or level nine life forms on the fourth floor. There was no power that could threaten him.
From the moment he entered the fourth floor until now, he found that the pressure of the fog was not constant. On the contrary, there were obvious changes. In the area with the densest death energy, the strength could reach the peak of level eight. But as he flew further and further, Lu An felt that he was moving from the area with the densest death energy to the area with the thinner death energy. His strength, which was originally equivalent to the peak of level eight, had been reduced to the late or middle level of level eight. From this, it seemed that his strength would be even lower at the edge of the blood fog.
Sure enough, this fog was in a spreading state. Every spreading fog had a center, but Lu An had not found it yet. More importantly, the source of the death energy was very likely to be the same as what he had seen before. It was surging up from the passage from the fourth floor to the fifth floor!
Not finding the passage from the fourth floor to the fifth floor was equivalent to Lu An not finding any center point of the fog. But even so, the fourth floor had a strength equivalent to the peak of level eight. From this, it could be inferred that in the fifth floor, the strength of the death energy would most likely reach the level of a level nine expert!
Thinking of this, Lu An's eyes turned cold!
What was underground? Why was there such a huge amount of death energy?
