mountains and rivers dream

Yin Rui and Cheng Hao both grimaced as they watched from below, but Xiao Yu didn't care.

Especially Yin Rui, he wanted to step forward to block some of the sudden attacks from the dark spirits for Xiao Yu, but was stopped by Cheng Haojun.

"Brother, the more people there are, the more trouble there will be. Look!" As he said that, Cheng Haojun walked towards the hill.

Because of Xiao Yu's intrusion, the dark spirits did smell a different breath, so many of them woke up under the temptation of ghost energy. Fortunately, there were dark spirits crowded on this hill.

Although it was a little difficult for Xiao Yu to move through them, she could get a little protection occasionally, because the dark spirits did not act 100% in unison. It seemed that they would not allow any dark spirit to float freely among them, and there would be conflicts between them.

Under the anxious gazes of Yin Rui and Cheng Hao, both of whom were sweating on their faces, Xiao Yu quickly reached the halfway point on the mountain where Zhao Yishen was, but the dark spirit there looked particularly violent.

Xiao Yu stopped. Her back was already covered with bright red scratches. There was not much fabric left on her originally snow-white dress. The remaining fabric barely covered her body below the waist.

When the two met, the stronger smell of blood seemed to make the surrounding dark spirits unusually agitated. They kept shivering, as if they loved this smell to the point of going crazy.

Zhao Yishen was just where Xiao Yu could reach him if she crawled a few more steps and stretched out her hand. Seeing that he was unconscious and getting no response from her repeated calls, Xiao Yu's heart sank.

If this continues, there's no way the other party will be able to climb out on their own.

She lowered her head and looked down at the two people on the ground who were holding weapons and looked ready to fight at any time. Then she bit her throat hard, endured the piercing pain, and waved her left hand behind Zhao Yishen. Some more dense ghost energy of the reincarnation disk floated behind him.

The cost of such a huge expenditure and risk was not completely without reward. Although the dark spirits could not move freely, the charm of the ghost energy of the Samsara Disk was ultimately difficult to resist.

The dark spirit blocking Xiao Yu and Zhao Yishen loosened a little at that moment. Xiao Yu was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He found the right moment and used all his strength to pull Zhao Yishen out.

But although the other person was not fat, he was a man after all. When Xiao Yu pulled him like this, his strength suddenly went out and he accidentally lost his grip on the man and threw Zhao Yishen out.

The unconscious Zhao Yishen was thrown out like an object. Neither Yin Rui nor Cheng Hao had expected such a scene.

Fortunately, both of them reacted quickly. Before Zhao Yishen fell to the ground, Yin Rui blocked his way and caught him.

Seeing that the person was caught, Cheng Haojun rushed over and checked his neck. He found that he was still breathing and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

But he also raised his head and looked at Xiao Yu, who was still climbing among the dark spirits without looking back, and swallowed twice.

"Brother, this Miss Xiaoliu is really admirable. She is clear about gratitude and grudges. Even though Junior Brother Zhao offended her so much before, she still saved him, even though he almost fell to death. She is such a good person..." He nodded towards Xiao Yu's figure to express his admiration.

Yin Rui had a serious expression on his face. He felt that what Cheng Haojun said made sense, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there seemed to be something wrong with it.

"This... maybe she dropped it because she was exhausted. I don't think she did it on purpose. Don't say that again in the future." He showed Cheng Haojun his serious affection to show that he was talking about this matter very seriously.

Cheng Haojun was stunned for a moment, thinking that the other party was angry, but when he turned around, he immediately realized that he was not paying enough attention when he spoke.

He lowered his head, looking embarrassed. “Yes, Senior Brother, I’ve made note of it. Miss Xiaoliu has done a favor for Juling Peak. No matter what, my family and I will never forget it.”

"But brother, is there really nothing we can do right now?" Cheng Haojun looked up at Xiao Yu's lonely figure and asked worriedly. Yin Rui also had such doubts.

His worry about Xiao Yu never ceased, but the more he looked up records related to Jinhui City and Yuexu Kingdom, the more he found himself in a difficult situation.

It's like a scholar encountering a nonsensical soldier. He can't reason with them, and he can't use force mindlessly.

He was feeling extremely anxious now, watching Xiao Yu taking risks alone but unable to help at all.

What made him even more worried was that, with his keen perception, Yin Rui vaguely felt that there seemed to be some very strange aura lingering around the outskirts of Jinhui City.

But it seemed that he was just wandering around and had no intention of coming in. He didn't know whether he was afraid of the situation here or was just observing.

"Senior Brother, what's wrong? Do you have something to say?" Cheng Haojun opened his pale lips and saw Yin Rui's wandering eyes, so he asked in confusion.

"It's okay, don't pay too much attention to me, and don't walk around randomly. Maybe... it's just my illusion!"

As Yin Rui spoke, he let out a light breath, took out a golden bottle from his arms, quickly took out two, and fed them to Zhao Yishen without thinking.

Zhao Yishen was laid flat on the ground. He had lost too much blood and his face seemed to be quickly filled with color after taking the golden pill. His eyelashes flickered several times before he finally opened his eyes.

The first thing that appeared in his lifeless pupils was a slender and difficult figure.

That was the image of Xiao Yu still climbing up the hill, but he had gained a lot of scars in this short period of time.

"Ranran——" Xiao Yu whispered the patient Lu Yiran's name. As expected, her voice could be transmitted to the black egg.

"Gurgle..." An unclear guttural sound came from a sticky throat that had not opened for a long time.

Finally, after countless calls, Xiao Yu finally got Lu Yiran's first response, although it was just an incomplete voice.

But then, after the first sound came, Lu's figure, still curled up in it, seemed to be stretching hard, as if the small black space was too cramped and she was very uncomfortable.

"Gurgle...Sister, sister...don't go in..." She kept shouting inside. The voice sounded hazy but loud, and every word was filled with Lu Yin's fear.

Xiao Yu's eyes suddenly became hot, and her chest rose and fell violently. She couldn't stop shaking, and she was shaking so much that she almost choked and couldn't even make a sound.

"Ran Ran! Don't be afraid, I'm not going anywhere, I will rescue you!"

Her hands and feet were shaking from exhaustion. The closer she got to the top of the mountain, the more those strange dark spirits appeared and disappeared, making her feel that she could not find a reliable foothold.

Slowly, the original climbing completely turned into a random crawl, constantly approaching the road madly, regardless of everything. (End of this chapter)
