The forest was very quiet, and the sound of the battle was getting farther and farther away. The snow would swallow the sound, and if one judged the distance from the sound, there would be a big error.
The sound of hurried footsteps and heavy breathing drifted by, and a figure appeared in the cold forest. It was a young man.
Raas had successfully escaped. At this time, he felt that his lungs were very painful, and his nose was uncomfortable as if it was being torn by the cold wind. For this reason, he kept coughing until he almost couldn't breathe.
He didn't stop, but he slowed down and began to adjust his breathing. If he didn't do this, he might die from the frostbite in his lungs.
But in the end, he stopped and leaned against a tree, and the snow on the branches fell because of this.
"Cough, cough!"
There were no other sounds around, but he clearly saw several people running in front of him, so why couldn't he see them now? Was he running too slowly?
His dry eyes began to hurt, and Raas closed his eyes hard, trying to squeeze out some tears to wet them, but he failed. Suddenly, when he opened his eyes, he saw a strange snowflake falling slowly, as if it was glowing white.
Soon after he stopped, the residual heat from the strenuous exercise began to fade, and he began to feel cold. He realized that he couldn't stop, or he would be frozen to death or killed by the pursuers.
He began to look for traces of his companions, and it wasn't difficult to find their footprints in the snow. He quickly found a footprint. So he walked in the direction of the footprint, but after a while, a scream came from the forest.
"Ah!!"
Raas's heart skipped a beat, and he looked in front of him in shock.
What happened?
After thinking for a few seconds, he suddenly ran. Maybe someone had an accident! Help was needed.
He continued to follow the footprints, hoping that the person was okay.
But …
There was only a broken body at the scene. It was an imperial soldier, no doubt, but he was dead. Something had penetrated his chest.
Raas calmed down and raised his head to look around vigilantly. Maybe the enemy had an ambush here!
He slowly bent down and picked up the dagger in the corpse's hand. Perhaps because of the cold weather, the corpse held the dagger tightly, but in the end, it still appeared in the hands of the young man.
He had to go north, and the main force was in the north.
Where was the north? He didn't know, but the most important thing now was to leave this dangerous place. Screams came from all directions from time to time, which made him very uneasy.
When he was running away, he saw a figure with a helmet that seemed to be one of his own.
Raas immediately ran towards the man. He did not dare to shout for fear of exposing himself. Upon closer inspection, his footprints were actually very shallow. His master had taught him how not to leave footprints in the snow, but he had not been able to learn it because it required a long time of practice.
However, what he didn't know was that he was actually very talented. It was just that his master was not good at praising others, so he always thought that he was very bad.
"Hey!"
He shouted to the front, and at the same time, he looked behind and to his left and right, afraid that the cold arrows would fly from behind.
"Wait for me."
As soon as he finished speaking, a humanoid monster suddenly rushed out. Raas caught sight of it with his eyes. Its long claws were like white bones. It had a human body, but its right hand was so terrifying.
Raas could not see the monster's face. The bloated right arm was blocking his face. For some reason, he felt that the monster was familiar.
Until the other party turned around and looked at him …
"Yi Qi?"
With a trembling voice, Raas' eyes widened and his mouth was half-open.
That was Yi Qi's face, and his height was about the same. There was no way he would be mistaken. He was Yi Qi.
"Raas?"
The other party showed a surprised expression. He was very surprised, and it could be seen from his eyes. Suddenly, a soldier of the empire took the opportunity to appear behind him.
"Go to hell! Monster! "
Seeing that the other party's sword was about to hit Yi Qi's head, Raas reached out his hand. Before he could shout, Yi Qi suddenly waved his huge right hand and caught the soldier in an instant.
"Ah!!"
With a scream, the soldier of the empire was instantly crushed to death. The strength of the right arm was so great that it directly crushed the soldier's bones and organs, even if he was wearing armor.
Raas held his breath, he retracted his hand and stopped.
This was impossible. Why, why would Yi Qi …
He could not accept this reality. Obviously, the other party did not know how to face Raas. Yi Qi threw the soldier's body aside as if he was throwing trash and lowered his head. Something strange happened. Yi Qi's right hand suddenly began to shrink. The muscles on it were like worms, crawling into his body from under his skin.
Soon, his right hand returned to its original state.
Yi Qi had changed a lot. He had earrings in his ears and many terrifying tattoos on his body, just like those ruffians in Stone City.
How could this be? How did it become like this? What exactly happened while he was missing?
"Why are you here?"
However, the other party was the first to speak.
"I'm here to find you."
Hearing this, Yi Qi's eyes suddenly changed. His eyes were moist, but he didn't look at Raas. Instead, he smiled. Raas couldn't see the meaning behind this smile. He felt that he couldn't see through Yi Qi's thoughts.
"I see. You being here means that the demons to the east of Stone City participated in this war. No wonder we lost so badly."
"You! How do you know about this? "
"Hmph, how would I know? Of course I know. I know a lot of things. For example, you sold my sister to the demons."
"What! This is a misunderstanding! Listen to me, Maci is alive and well. I didn't … "
"Enough, I don't want to talk about this. Who cares, I don't care."
Yi Qi suddenly said and took a deep breath. Raas wanted to explain. He had a lot to say, but he did not know where to start. He wanted to explain clearly, but he also wanted to know why Yi Qi became like this and what he went through. Why didn't he come to find him and Maci?
"What do you mean? Why don't you care? I've been looking for you since that day. Where did you go? "
Raas suddenly shouted. He was clearly dissatisfied with Yi Qi's words.
"Where did I go? Of course I went to the end of the world. Without you two burdens, I can go wherever I want. I'm now a Wolf King Swordsman. "
"Then did you find your beloved princess?"
"No, the princess is fat and ugly. I gave up."
Indeed, Kingsley's daughter was not good-looking. Raas had seen one before, and it completely shattered his fantasy of a princess.
"Pfft, but you can't escape. The Wolf King Swordsman will eventually marry the princess."
Raas said with a smile.
"Hmph, that's why I'm now a Wolf King Swordsman, not a knight."
Yi Qi snorted coldly.
The two of them suddenly stopped talking. They looked at each other and laughed.
They did not know why they were laughing, nor did they know that this was the last time they laughed together …
