The Spirit World

Chapter 193 Echo of Crying

The Lihuo Sword flew out with no arc at all, just like a flying bird, rushing straight towards the burly man.

However, even such a powerful attack was easily blocked, and the burly man's hand around his neck tightened even more.

This guy, does he want to get rid of one first?

How cruel it is to make such a ruthless decision. Or maybe it is because they are well-trained and know how to deal with multiple enemies. They will never be stabbed in the back.

It's... terrible.

Good thing...

It wasn't Erica who was being strangled.

Do not……

You can't think like that. Judging from the situation, the woman in green clothes who was struggling desperately saved Erica's life. To be more precise, she replaced Erica's... death.

what……

Chang Yufeng had a lot of thoughts in an instant.

Now it seems a bit stupid to throw the sword away?

"Brother... cough cough... that aunt... cough cough..." Erica was breathing heavily, as if her lungs were damaged. Chang Yufeng could clearly smell a hint of blood from the lungs.

Chang Yufeng quickly took out a bottle of red potion.

"Ruirui..." He couldn't utter any words of comfort and could only hand over the potion.

"Ruirui...what happened?" Chang Yufeng took out a green imperial sword, with a green aura flowing on it as strong as a tide.

"That auntie... saved me..." Erica drank the potion, and her breath was obviously much better. Her condition could be seen at a glance, and she was much more energetic than before.

"Hmm..." Chang Yufeng stood with his sword in hand. He watched the woman stop struggling, her legs hanging limply.

"We have to save her too!" Erica stared at Chang Yufeng's back and was determined.

"Dead..." Chang Yufeng sighed.

“…” Erica held the sword tightly.

The burly man threw the woman's body away heavily, seeming to be a little angry.

"Clone?" Chang Yufeng looked at the discarded corpse in surprise, unable to tell for a moment whether it was real or fake.

"I didn't expect to fail as soon as I made a move!" The burly man clenched his fists and looked over here angrily. Chang Yufeng did not dare to neglect it at all and stood behind Erica.

"Are you from Rolfe's side or Locke's side?" Chang Yufeng stared at his fist. He had no weapons on his body and he didn't know where he would attack from.

"As expected, what the leader said is right. You are indeed interesting." The burly man seemed to be introducing himself: "One of the three heroes of the Dragon Heart Alliance, [Flame Fist] Nohan!"

Nohan took off his black mask with his hands, and his handsome face didn't match the burly man at all.

"So...what's the point of kidnapping my sister? Why don't you just come to me directly..." Chang Yufeng's cold voice was like a knife pointing on steel. He wiped the green sword with white cloth, and green light flew. He stared at the sword and no longer looked at Nuohan.

"The leader needs to have the capital to negotiate with you, so naturally he has to give it a try." Nohan also clenched his fists, and his bones crackled. He stared at Chang Yufeng, his eyes fixed. The anger in his eyes was clearly visible.

"Go back and tell Locke that if he dares to touch anyone around me again, his Dragon Heart Alliance will be destroyed." Chang Yufeng's eyes were also filled with anger.

The Dragon Heart Alliance is a secret organization of Shadow Hunters, committing murder and robbery, and doing all kinds of evil.

"When the leader said you were special, I didn't believe it. Now I do. We're hunting monsters in the deep jungle, and there're a bunch of things I've never seen. Now, even the leader, who I've never met, can call me by my name. I guess the leader has his reasons for sending me here." Nohan got into position, and the burly man's body looked like he was ready for battle.

"Brother, what are you talking about?" Erica was a little confused. She didn't dare to relax.

"It's okay, just some personal matters." Chang Yufeng shook his head.

"Do you know each other?" Erica looked at Chang Yufeng's back in surprise.

"I don't know." Chang Yufeng shook his head again. The sword had been wiped and it would be ready for use in a moment.

"Your sister is quite interesting. She was able to withstand my punch. If it was any other kid, she would have been dead long ago." Nuohan looked at Chang Yufeng and laughed complacently: "Then I can only kill you now. A genius who cannot be used by my alliance is just a waste!"

"I think this is not a good decision. Do you know how I want you to go back and tell Locke about this, Nohan?" Chang Yufeng didn't look up. He rolled his eyes and looked at Nohan who was not far away. The tiny black pupils and most of the white in his eyes made him look like a lone wolf staring at its prey.

"Then it depends on whether you have the ability to do it!" Flames suddenly appeared in Nuohan's fists, as if he was furious. He stepped on the ground, and kicked the ground fiercely with his extremely long legs, about to hit Chang Yufeng with one punch.

Chang Yufeng didn't dodge at all and watched him rush towards him.

Just a gentle sentence.

"Ray, close your eyes."

"Okay..." Erica closed her eyes gently, her eyelashes with blood beads were brushed by the gentle breeze, and the frozen blood drops were blown onto her tender face.

There was a quick, then long, silence.

"Are you ready?" Erica asked. She had been standing in a ready position with her sword in hand, not daring to relax.

"Okay, open your eyes." Chang Yufeng's voice sounded softly in her ears.

Erica opened her eyes, and everything around her was unchanged except for a wooden humanoid "corpse" - that was the suspended corpse of the aunt.

That person has disappeared.

Like the wind, gone without a trace.

"Let's continue looking for dragon bones... Once we find them, we'll go home for dinner!" Chang Yufeng smiled at Erica, and the green sword disappeared out of thin air.

There are no signs of a fight here.

"Okay..." Erica put the sword into the new scabbard and followed Chang Yufeng.

"Ruirui, how did he appear?" Chang Yufeng pushed aside the bushes and walked towards the treasure-hunting robot.

"From behind, I broke the barrier you taught me with one punch."

"That's because you haven't learned it well enough. You're just thinking about eating." Chang Yufeng smiled and teased her.

Erica's spiritual power was not pure enough, so it naturally couldn't keep up with the spiritual power required by the barrier. The strength was just average. It was not Erica's fault. If it was me in the past, I would have been beaten.

"No! I used all my strength!" Erica looked at her brother angrily.

"What about that aunt? Who is she?"

"I don't know...but she saved me...she saved me from that man."

"I think it's the tree spirit we saw... Yeah, that's a dryad."

"Monster?!" Erica seemed surprised by the monster.

"Yes, that was a monster. As for why she saved you, I don't know. If you meet her, you really have to thank her." Chang Yufeng pushed aside a branch blocking the way to let Erica pass.

"Yeah!" Erica nodded: "Brother, you are really amazing! You really know everything! It's amazing! You are amazing! You are knowledgeable! You can also invent things!" Erica praised her brother without reservation, but her vocabulary was limited. It was always the same few sentences.

"No, no, no, I'm a big fool." Chang Yufeng pushed aside the bushes with flowers and shook his head with a bitter smile: "You know, the fat boy next door is much smarter than me."

"No, the fat guy is too lazy."

"Yeah, I'm still better." Chang Yufeng smiled brightly.

"My brother is much better than him." Erica said, and then she was silent for a second. A deep sadness appeared on her face, and she suddenly stopped: "I feel... my brother has hidden a lot of things from me and my parents."

"Huh?" Chang Yufeng turned around and looked at Erica who suddenly brought up this topic. There was a crystal tear on her face.

"What's wrong? Ruirui..." Chang Yufeng wiped away her tears with his fingers and put his hand on her head. "I almost thought I would never see you and mom and dad again..." Erica's nose was already running, and her chubby face did not look good when she cried. The snot and tears were intertwined, so Chang Yufeng had to take out a handkerchief to wipe it clean.

"Isn't this right here?" Chang Yufeng gently wiped away her tears. But the tears kept flowing out.

He was fine just now, but now he is crying like a tearful person.

"Don't cry, Ruirui, it's okay, it's over."

"Ah..." Erica burst into tears
"Ah... I thought, I thought... I was going to die..." Erica cried even more miserably, almost choking in pain: "That punch... ah... it really hurts... ah... I thought I was... ah... going to be killed..."

“Don’t cry, don’t cry…” Chang Yufeng swallowed his saliva, and his throat felt a little dry. Even at this time, he didn’t know what to say: “It’s okay… No one will bully you anymore…”

Don’t cry…

my little sister.

The tissue was trembling in his hand, and he wiped the snot on the tissue onto Erica's face again, which needed to be wiped off heavily.

"I'm really scared...ah..." Erica wiped away her tears with her arms.

He was so strong, but suddenly he collapsed into pieces.

Chang Yufeng gently touched her head and stopped wiping away the tears that she couldn't stop.

"If... I could be stronger..." Chang Yufeng looked at her with a smile.

Sighs moved the wind in the woods.

There are so many children like this in this world.

The crying echoed in Chang Yufeng's heart for a long time.

"No...it's Erica...I'm too...too...too weak..." Erica choked and wiped her face with her hands, wiping away her snot and tears. Chang Yufeng slowly took out a silk scarf and gave it to her.

She took the gauze-like silk scarf and finally wiped it clean.

Even so, she was still breathing in and out, her chest heaving, her back pressed tightly together, rising and falling, sobbing violently. She wanted to hold back her tears but couldn't, and could only sob like this.

It was like a balloon that was inflated and then quickly deflated.

Although her appearance might be a little funny in front of others, Chang Yufeng could only silently touch her little head to make her feel less uncomfortable.

"No, no, no, Erica is the best in the world! Even dad is afraid of you." Chang Yufeng still slowly suppressed his laughter.

"You are bad!" Erica sobbed and hit Chang Yufeng, and her nose soon came out with a sound of snot bubbles.

Chang Yufeng laughed heartily as if it was nothing special.

"So, for the sake of your bad brother, Ruirui has to protect herself well."

"Ok!"

chirp——

The snot bubble was sucked back in and came out again.

"Hahahahahaha." Chang Yufeng was actually amused.

chirp——

"Hahahahaha."

chirp——

"Okay, stop laughing!"

chirp——

"Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore..." Chang Yufeng pushed aside the jungle and made a way in front of him: "I found the dragon bone... My little robot is still very powerful!"

"Really?" Erica felt much better.

"Yes, where is your little lens? Didn't you see it?"

"No...it was broken." Erica said with a pout.

"Here, here you go." Chang Yufeng handed a pupil lens to Erica.

The blue lenses appeared in front of her pupils like flowing water.

The golden heart-protecting dragon bone was being pulled by the suction cup of the treasure-hunting robot and was almost less than three inches outside the cave entrance.

"What do we need the dragon bones for?" Erica asked.

Of course her little head couldn't figure it out.

"Do you remember the magic crystals we hunted?" Chang Yufeng continued to walk deeper into the forest.

"I know... they are all in the warehouse." Erica looked at Chang Yufeng's back. There were a few red ink-like marks on his back.

The blood looked more like it was splashed on his coarse cloth clothes. The whiteness of the cloth was reflected in the slanting sunlight.

"Well, we use these magic crystals and dragon bones to strengthen our bodies, so that we can be stronger!" Chang Yufeng nodded firmly: "We must become stronger!"

"Yes! We must become stronger! And not be bullied!" Erica followed Chang Yufeng's words and expressed her own meaning.

"Well! In order to protect herself, Ruirui needs to become stronger!" Chang Yufeng shook his head.

"Yeah!" Erica nodded again.

A root flashed across the green screen.

"Come again!" Chang Yufeng was a little surprised: "Rui Rui, speed up!"

Chang Yufeng jumped onto the tree trunk, and Erica nodded and quickly followed.

On the green screen, the treasure-hunting robot ran quickly, with the suction cups on the front wall supporting its keel and slithering around like a little mouse.

"Auntie Dryad!" Erica called softly.

Chang Yufeng almost slipped and fell to death while screaming on the tree.

"Auntie Dryad...hahaha...don't think that you can take the dragon bone away just because I saved you!" A woman's voice echoed among the woods.

"Actually... I should call her grandma..." Chang Yufeng held onto the tree, watching the treasure-hunting robot being stepped on by a bare foot. The foot was as white as snow, and a green magic pattern gently circled the ankle.

Along with the dragon bone, it was held by a hand that also had some lines on it.

"Dryad Grandma?!"

Erica immediately changed her tune.

The woman was even more delighted with her smile.

"It's been a long time since I met such an interesting little guy."

The woman's voice was actually very bright, like a huge bell, and it was really pleasant to hear.
