Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

"Any strange race?"

"There are more Ice Wolf Clan here, and there are also quite a few Ox Horn Clan. As for the others..."

"Forget it, let's catch them first," the bearded man interrupted. "If they're not a rare species, no one will buy them. We can only sell them to the farm. I hope we don't lose money this time."

He raised his hand and pointed forward: "Brothers, the old rules apply. Whoever catches it gets it!"

The crowd made a deafening noise, causing the snow on the trees to fall off.

Elise covered her mouth tightly to prevent herself from breathing.

Fortunately, the snow has a soundproofing effect, and no one noticed anything unusual here.

The group headed towards the village.

The girl's legs felt weak and she tried several times before she could stand up.

Those people...are from the slave-catching group.

The slave-hunting group was notorious for capturing slaves for sale... but this was the Holy Roman Empire, which had already banned the slave trade among Asians.

But this is the border, and no one cares what we do.

She glanced at the village and the next moment she started running. She wanted to find her mother. It was too late to warn the villagers now, so she had to leave here as soon as possible.

Fortunately, my home is far from the village, so my mother should be fine, should be...

She didn't dare to think too much and could only run home while panting.

I don’t know how many times I fell.

She was already running as fast as she could, but when she returned home with a bruised face, all she saw was a burning house.

Several stone sculptures appeared out of nowhere in the snow, their backs facing their mother.

She stood among a group of stone sculptures, with bloodstains on the ground.

"Mother……"

After hearing the faint voice, the mother turned around and looked at the girl. At that moment, her purple-black pupils returned to normal. She no longer had the strength to stand and could only hug her daughter.

There were several more wounds on her body that were enough to be fatal, and deep red blood flowed out of the wounds, dyeing large areas of snow red.

The girl's tears kept falling.

"Mom, you're bleeding. I'll go get some medicine." She seemed about to dive into a room full of flames.

"Don't go, Elyse... I can't take it anymore." Her mother grabbed her arm, enduring the stinging pain: "You have to be alone, and you have to be well."

"No, I don't want it. I want my mother to be well!"

"Elysee."

"mom!"

"Elise!!" The girl stopped crying at the sight of her mother's serious expression.

The woman stroked her daughter's cheek, wiped away her tears, and then took off a necklace from her neck, on which hung an eye-like gem.

"Elysee... take this and run out."

"No matter what, hold on until your aunt finds you..."

The girl asked with a confused look in her eyes: "So, where's mom?"

The mother said nothing, but just stroked her cheek silently and gently.

She knew her daughter was very smart. Although she was only in her teens, she already understood a lot of things.

Including this sudden separation.

"I..." Elyse wished she could be willful just for once.

But she knew she couldn't. This was an opportunity her mother had sacrificed her life for, but she didn't even have the qualifications to stay or look back.

After watching her daughter leave, the woman stood up again, her snake-like hair and purple-black eyes looking towards the distance.

"In order to kill me... he even infiltrated the slave-hunting group."

"When the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked..."

"It's such a simple truth, why don't you understand? Even if we complete all the tasks... he won't let us go free."

She covered her wound and staggered towards the burning village.

There was no hatred or sadness in his eyes, only a hint of reluctance and... tired relief.

……

"Captain, it's actually a Gorgon. This is a rare find! This head must be very valuable!"

"Well, it's a windfall." The leader of the slave-hunting team was pleasantly surprised, but soon became surprised: "But even though she was seriously injured and on the verge of death, she still killed more than half of us. How did she get so seriously injured?"

"She was quite pretty, but it's a pity that she's not as valuable dead as she is alive."

"There's a little one too!"

Suddenly someone shouted loudly from the side.

"What did you say?" The leader of the slave-catching group reached out and grabbed a young wolf. "Speak clearly!"

"There is also a little one. If you let our family go, I will tell you where she is!" the man shouted in a trembling voice.

"Oh, how interesting..." The leader of the slave-catching team glanced at the cowardly man and said, "Just now, the other party tried his best to save you. Instead of being grateful, you betrayed his daughter?"

"I, I can tell you, as long as you let me go..." The man with trembling legs continued to repeat tremblingly.

The leader of the slave-catching team suddenly drew his knife and stabbed the man through the heart. Blood spurted out of the man's mouth and he fell to the ground and died within seconds.

"Captain, why kill him?"

"It's just killing an animal, don't waste your time."

"What about the little one? Don't catch him anymore?"

"It won't take much effort to catch a little one." The slave-catching leader sneered disdainfully, "Don't question my professionalism. Bring the hounds... The footprints in the snow are the best tracking record. How far can a little girl run!"

Chapter 257 Healing Childhood

The girl ran along the edge of the burning village.

Everything in sight was burning.

Even in heavy snow, the flames still shot up into the sky.

At a close distance, the forest was burning, several corpses lay on the ground, blood dyed the snow red, and the flames licked the flesh, emitting a burnt smell.

Corpses, blood, snow, flames, all kinds of scenery are impacting the girl's young mind.

She kept gasping for breath.

Fear and confusion filled her mind. She almost couldn't help but fall down, and she had a strong urge to urinate.

She forced herself to turn her head, grabbed a ball of snow and stuffed it into her mouth. The cold snow stung her gums and cheeks. In this way, she tried to cool down her almost crazy spirit and continued to run.

Stay away from here, there is no turning back.

But I had never left the village many times, so where could I go? I could only keep running, running in one direction, running deeper into the forest, running to a place where no one else could catch up with me.

This walk took more than half a day.

Until the moonlight reaches its end, until the daylight comes again.

She was walking in a vast world of white. The surrounding woods had disappeared at some point, leaving only thick snow. She was so cold that she hugged her arms and could not run at all. She could only walk slowly.

It was incredible that she had reached this point with her frail body due to lack of nutrition.

He is simply relying on his extraordinary mental willpower to hold on.

But how long can this last?

She didn't know that the motivation that kept her going was just the last words her mother left her.

She wants to go far and survive.

Only then can I avenge my mother.

With this belief in her heart, she traveled alone across the snowy plains of the border.

However, no one knew what was covered under the heavy snow. She stepped on a protruding stone and fell to the ground. She suddenly felt that she had lost all her strength. It was extremely difficult for her to stand up again.

Not a single bit of strength left.

She closed her eyes, called out "Mom" in a very soft voice, and then fell into a deep sleep.

A figure appeared in the vast snowfield.

The fate editor walks in a strange time and space on a strange continent.

White snow was already falling from the sky, and he was surrounded by gray mist, like a wisp of dust on a piece of white paper.

But no amount of pure white can cover up this hint of gray.

Bai Yu was in a bad mood.

Because I just got pressed into the seat and watched a movie for such a long time.

I have seen the previous scenes, but I cannot take the initiative to interfere.

This was also his childhood when he first came into direct contact with the Heroic Spirits.

Someone once said that a person's life is about healing and chasing his or her childhood.

Childhood is extremely important because children are extremely malleable, including these heroes.

If I hadn't had those painful memories in my childhood, perhaps I wouldn't have ended up in that desperate situation in the future.

"It seems my strength has increased."

"The power to interfere with fate became stronger, and thus was able to enter her childhood."

"However, my ability to intervene is quite limited. At least I can't save the other person's mother. If I did... the weaving of fate would bring too many variables. This is no longer the realm of weaving fate, but fundamentally changing fate."

Bai Yu bent down and picked up the cold girl from the snow. Her weak appearance was heartbreaking.

If he didn't interfere, he could probably guess how the plot would develop next.

She would probably not freeze to death here, but there was a high possibility that she would be captured by the slave-catching group.

They should be rescued in the end, but they will definitely suffer a lot in the process.

Bai Yu stomped his feet, gathered the wind and snow, practiced his skills, and quickly built a snow house here.

Although snow is cold, it can insulate, so the inside of the igloo is actually warmer.

He picked up some firewood, activated his mental skills, and ignited it with the phoenix's internal energy.

The room felt a little warmer, and the little girl slept more peacefully under his cloak.

Because it was snowy and windy here, he did not change into the other two suits, but used the thickest and warmest classic skin.

When I went out to collect firewood, I was lucky enough to see a few little cuties looking for food on the way.

Bai Yu picked up the stone and flicked it with his finger.

Snapped!

That's so cute.

Skin the rabbit and roast it over a fire.

The whole day passed quickly.

According to the agreed time, after tonight, the Gorgon sisters should discover the tragic situation of the village and then come to look for the little girl based on their senses.

I just need to take care of her during this period of time.

Changes in the timeline of childhood may have some impact on the future, but it will not be a big one.

Because many things are destined, just like math problems, it doesn’t matter if you take some detours in the process, as long as the conclusion is correct.

Hearing the change in the breathing sound, Bai Yu looked at the girl in the snow house: "Awake?"

Elise opened her eyes and looked at the unfamiliar head above her. The next moment she stood up and shrank back with vigilance.

A pair of big eyes filled with vigilance and fear looked at the young man who was turning the wooden grill across from the burning fire.
