Chapter 66 Under Attack
The night was already dark, the dark starry sky and the moonlight were much dimmed.
Chen Xuan originally planned to end the day, but now it was too late, so he finally stayed in the Star Dou Forest for the night.
He asked Zhu Zhuqing and Yiyi to have a good rest, and he would just keep watch.
The sky was dark, the white moon was gradually shrouded in black clouds, and the whole world became darker.
Chen Xuan sat next to the bonfire, the swaying flames beating constantly. In the middle of the night, Zhu Zhuqing came to sit next to him and took the initiative to let him rest.
This surprised him. Dazhuqing, who had always been cold and cold, seemed a little abnormal today.
Chen Xuan didn't refuse. He hadn't closed his eyes all day and was a little tired, but he didn't leave. He lay down by the campfire and gradually fell asleep.
Zhu Zhuqing sat aside holding her knees. She turned her head slightly and looked at Chen Xuan's side face quietly, not knowing what she was thinking.
……
When Chen Xuan opened his eyes again, it was almost noon, and the sun was shining brightly, shining warmly on his face.
He slept very deeply and didn't wake up until now.
"Brother, why do you like to sleep in so much?" Chen Yiyi got up very early and even ate breakfast.
Zhu Zhuqing remained calm, glanced here and then looked away.
Chen Xuan simply ate some dry food and then proposed to leave the Star Dou Forest.
"It's time to go back. It's probably been many days since the Soul Master Competition ended." He said casually.
Zhu Zhuqing's expression changed, but he quickly returned to normal and said nothing.
Next, Chen Xuan was still carrying Yiyi on his back, while Zhu Zhuqing was beside him, not lagging behind, or even surpassing him.
They are on the outskirts of the Star Forest and it is safer to return along the original route.
The trees on both sides of the road were receding continuously, and the scenery was blurry. The two of them were traveling very fast, covering half of the distance in an hour.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Chen Xuan stopped suddenly and stopped in front of a huge open space.
Ahead is a 100-meter-long lawn. There are no towering trees or dense wild flowers and grass. It is very empty.
In the prosperous woods, it is difficult to find such a place. To be precise, this is man-made. The big trees have been cut off, and there are still tree stumps on the ground.
"This is... blood." Zhu Zhuqing's face changed slightly. In the open space in front, there was a pool of blood, and a large area of grass was dyed red.
Chen Xuan's face was solemn. After putting down Yiyi, he quickly crossed the open space and entered the woods. Then, he stopped where he was, with a hint of anger in his eyes.
Because here... there are corpses.
A total of ten people died tragically here. Some had their heads cut off and their bodies separated. Some had their upper and lower bodies separated, as if cut in half by a sharp weapon. Some had a bloody hole blasted out of their chests. , translucent front and back.
These people all died tragically. The bark of the trees and weeds were covered with blood.
There was even a patch of wild flowers that were originally white, but were watered with blood and became extremely bright red.
When Zhu Zhuqing came over, he saw this bloody scene. He froze on the spot and covered his mouth. His stomach was churning. It was so bloody.
Some people’s lower abdomens were split open, and their intestines and internal organs were spilled all over the floor. They were extremely miserable.
Chen Xuan looked ugly, because he knew these people, they were from the team of the young man with glasses.
However, among these corpses, there is no young man with glasses, so it is difficult to say that they are not related to him.
Chen Xuan found a common characteristic among these ten people. They had been scratched, and the gold coins, valuables, and soul storage devices were gone.
He has read many books and knows the dark side of the hired team. This murder is obviously a plot to kill people and seize treasures.
This kind of thing is so common, it happens almost every day.
Chen Xuan can almost conclude that it is the handiwork of the Soul Emperor.
Recruiting soul masters, tricking them into a wilderness like the Star Dou Forest, and then brutally killing them, this method is really clever.
“It’s not a good place to stay for a long time, let’s go.”
Chen Xuan retreated decisively and left this bloody place.
"Brother, what happened in front?" Chen Yiyi asked doubtfully, but Sister Zhuqing did not let her follow. Chen Xuan said he had nothing, then carried her on his back and continued on his way.
Seeing such a bloody scene, Zhu Zhuqing felt a little uncomfortable. Even now, his face is still a little pale and he has not been able to recover.
Chen Xuan is similar, he doesn’t feel very comfortable. He is a human being, but he is cruel to his fellow human beings. He is really a human devil.
The three of them did not dare to return along the original road, so they took a different path and took a long circle.
After walking for two kilometers in a row, Chen Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and slowed down. Fortunately, what he was worried about did not happen.
In this way, the three of them moved forward, passing through woods one after another, and were about to reach the exit.
Chen Xuan suddenly tensed up and felt extremely painful between his eyebrows, as if he was being pressed against by a sharp weapon.
He stopped abruptly, quickly threw a kunai, and pulled Zhu Zhuqing into his arms, doing it in one go and with quick movements.
boom!
A beam of light fell, and a big explosion occurred on the spot, sweeping in all directions, and patches of trees were swallowed up by the energy storm.
A hundred meters away, in the flash of golden light, Chen Xuan's figure appeared, biting the kunai in the air.
Now, he is holding Zhu Zhuqing in one hand and Chen Yiyi in the other.
He landed on the top of a tree. Behind him, the beam of light shot into the sky, air waves swept across, and a large area of trees was destroyed.
If it weren't for his excellent perception, he would probably be dead or disabled after taking that blow.
Brush!
As soon as Chen Xuan put the two people down, another beam of light shot from the distance, which was larger than the previous one.
His face turned ugly, and he was completely horrified. He and the sneak attacker were not at the same level at all, and he was not attentive to the opponent.
Chen Xuan didn't care so much anymore, he jumped up and rushed towards the laser.
If it exploded here, with Yiyi's body, she would definitely die.
"Brother, don't go!" Seeing this scene, Chen Yiyi burst into anxious tears.
Chen Xuan did not retreat but advanced, rushing towards the beam of light, obviously to protect them and use his body to fight.
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing was no longer cold, his body stiffened, and his eyes became moist involuntarily as he looked at the man's sacrificial back.
In fact, how could Chen Xuan, a man who cherishes his life so much, take such extreme measures.
Brush!
The next moment, with the golden light flashing, Chen Xuan and the laser disappeared out of thin air without a trace.
Boom!
The mountain forest shook, and a hundred meters away, there was light soaring into the sky, trees shattered, boulders shattered, and air waves spread in circles.
"What's going on?" In the dark, a bald man muttered to himself in shock.
On the top of the tree, looking at the explosion in the distance, Chen Yiyi looked confused. What happened and how the laser was diverted.
Zhu Zhuqing was thoughtful and quickly figured out that it should be the function of Chen Xuan's strange soul skill.
After transferring the beam away, Chen Xuan activated Flying Thunder God again, teleported back and appeared in front of the two of them.
"Brother, you scared me to death. I thought you were going to die. Don't do this again." There were tears on Chen Yiyi's face. She was really scared just now.
"Don't worry, I will be here until you get married." Chen Xuan promised. The situation was urgent and there was no time to explain in detail.
Then he looked at Zhu Zhuqing and was stunned on the spot, lost in thought
He even rubbed his eyes a few times, thinking he had seen something wrong.
Chen Xuan was in a daze. Dazhuqing's eyes were very red and a little moist. Does this mean...she just shed tears for him?
This is Zhu Zhuqing, the cold goddess, like a cold iceberg, so abnormal.
Obviously, Zhu Zhuqing also noticed Chen Xuan's gaze.
Her face suddenly turned red, and she explained forcefully: "Don't think blindly, I just had eyes close to the sand."
Bah, bang, bang!
At this time, there was applause all around, and a burly man walked out from behind the stone.
"The relationship is so good."
This is a bald man, grinning at this time, staring at Zhu Zhuqing and Chen Yiyi, his eyes are extremely aggressive, and his face is lustful He smiled and said: "Boy, keep these two women, I can let you go."
