Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

Bai Yu took a bite of the lamb chops and had to say that the food here tasted good.

Su Ruoli sat next to them, constantly picking up food as if she was feeding a pig.

Bai Yu experienced the feeling of going to grandma's house for dinner... There is a kind of hunger called grandma thinks you are hungry.

Halfway through the meal, Bai Yu felt his phone vibrate slightly, and a phone number was dialing.

So he stood up and said, "Go to the bathroom."

When he reached the corridor outside, a small white-haired animal on the ground followed him. After reaching a secluded spot, he asked, "Didn't you say we'd act in the afternoon? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Qin Xuezao hung up the phone hanging around his neck and said, "Ding Ting smells the scent of demonic energy. Be careful, there may be a demon nearby."

"Is there one here too?"

"The demon can appear anywhere."

At this time, the sound of conversation was heard not far away.

The middle-aged waiter wiped his eyes, his eyes slightly red, and stood in front of Ruan Qingxue, his voice slightly choked: "Miss, how have you been recently?"

"...Nanny, stop calling me that. I'm not some Miss. Just call me Qingxue. I just came to have dinner with my classmates. I didn't expect to meet you."

"I didn't expect that. I just changed jobs, but it's good to see you healthy and well." The middle-aged woman held her hand and said, "You must have suffered a lot in the past few years. It's a pity that I'm useless and can't help you at all."

"Don't say that..." Ruan Qingxue shook her head guiltily and said, "We are the ones who should be sorry. We still owe a lot of money. I will definitely work hard to pay it back in the future."

"Silly child, what does this have to do with you? Those outsiders may not understand, so how could I not understand?" The middle-aged woman cupped her cheek and whispered soothingly, "Many elders of the Ruan family don't hold grudges against you. They just blame the heavens for being so unfair! If you need anything in the future, remember to come to me. I can't help with big things, but I can always ask everyone for help with small things."

The two talked for a few more words, and the middle-aged woman was finally called back to the kitchen to help.

Ruan Qingxue sighed softly, then touched her cheek with her hand, and then two lines of tears flowed down.

"You over there?" she said.

"I didn't mean to do that." Bai Yu walked out with his hands raised: "I was careless."

"It's okay, I don't care." Ruan Qingxue shook her head, but her tears continued to flow.

"If you don't mind..." Bai Yu handed over a restaurant tissue that he had brought with him.

"Thank you." Ruan Qingxue wiped the corners of her eyes.

"She must be very good to you." Bai Yu said, "Is she your relative?"

"There's no blood relationship, she's a wet nurse." Ruan Qingxue responded.

"Although we finally meet again, you don't have to cry so sadly." Bai Yu saw that she was still crying.

"No." Ruan Qingxue's eyes were red. "I don't want to cry...but my nanny just cut peppers in the kitchen without washing her hands, and my eyes are really stinging now."

Bai Yu: "..."

Mother's love is like water, like pepper water.

How much sorrow can you have? It's like tears flowing from a chili pepper.

Bai Yu suppressed his poetic inspiration and waited for the other party to wipe away his tears. He thought that if others saw this, they might misunderstand him.

"Aren't you going to ask?" Ruan Qingxue asked.

Bai Yu gave a highly emotionally intelligent answer: "If you want to talk, I can listen; if you don't want to talk, I can listen secretly."

Ruan Qingxue chuckled, then leaned against the wall and said, "You might not believe me, but I used to be a young lady... My family was very wealthy. The Ruan family is a very prestigious family in the local area, with a history of over a hundred years. My father was a well-known entrepreneur, and my mother was a philanthropist and politician. Before I was ten, my family was very wealthy and lived in a big house with many servants... We had two wet nurses who fed and cared for the children, one for my brother and one for me."

Bai Yu was a little surprised when he heard this, because Ruan Qingxue was very poor when she entered high school, and her family's financial conditions were not good. However, she had good grades and received scholarships and grants from the school. She was the top student in the class. Her student number was ranked in the middle, but her grades were at the top, and she was better than Tao Rusu in cultural subjects.

"This is really... hard to believe." Bai Yu stroked his chin. "How could a family with over a century of history decline so quickly?"

"It's actually quite strange. The main reason... is the sudden death of a family member," Ruan Qingxue whispered, recounting the past. "Only my brother and I were left. We lived in a village for a while, and when we returned, everyone in our family had passed away... Afterward, the Ruan family quickly declined and fell into huge debt. My brother dropped out of school to work, leaving me the only one still studying."

"...So you plan to break through and take the martial arts exam just to make money?" Bai Yu asked.

"Well, military students can go to the battlefield and the front lines, and they can also carry out missions. Every exploration of the subsidence area or the recovery of lost territory can earn a high income. Even if they die, they will receive an additional pension." Ruan Qingxue said, slowly clenching her fists. "I don't want my brother to suffer any more. He's not even thirty, but he looks as old as forty. My family has worked so hard to support my studies. I have no choice but to work harder, right?"

She looked at Bai Yu seriously: "So I am very grateful to everyone who allowed me to survive this time...including you."

"I didn't do anything."

"I've heard from Ruoli about your efforts. They're truly remarkable. You're a truly remarkable man. She was so happy to hear the people from Changyesi praising you." Ruan Qingxue extended her fist, paused, and then tapped Bai Yu's chest. "Keep working hard. It's rare that we've all escaped certain death. This is just reality. What's there to be unacceptable?"

She covered her eyes and said, "It's too spicy. I need to go wash my eyes."

After saying that, she ran towards the bathroom.

……

Bai Yu stood in the aisle waiting.

He looked at Di Ting and said, "You said there's demonic energy here. Where's the source?"

"It's not very obvious. It's a human demon, but it probably hasn't awakened yet." Qin Xuezao replied: "But the source of the smell seems to be in... the toilet?"

Bai Yu opened his arms, which were folded across his chest, and slowly let them fall. He asked as if to confirm, "...Is this the men's restroom?"

"No, the women's restroom..." Qin Xuezao said, "Do you want me to go in first?"

Bai Yu deliberately called out into the bathroom, "Ruan Qingxue?"

There was no response from inside.

He immediately rushed to the front of the door, intending to kick it open with one foot. However, at this moment, the entire toilet door flew over, and an even greater impact force was launched without warning. The violent force pressed on Bai Yu's body. Through a layer of wooden boards, he could not see what was behind him, and he felt as if he had been hit by a dump truck.

When he was hit, his brain stopped working for a few seconds and he instinctively made a move to get back. The impact force knocked him back ten meters and his back hit the wall, causing him to feel pain.

He opened his eyes with great difficulty, only to see that the window next to the women's restroom had been opened. A burly man in a gray leather jacket carried the unconscious Ruan Qingxue and jumped out of the window.

Chapter 85 Mountain Bear

Bai Yu shook his head and felt a heaviness in his chest. There was no doubt that his bones were broken, and his internal organs might also be damaged.

He's not a transcendent yet, so he'll definitely get hurt if he endures this kind of impact...

My head felt dizzy, my ears were filled with the chirping of cicadas, my consciousness was hazy, the world was spinning around me, and I even felt like vomiting.

There was a wet feeling at the back of his head, and it was obvious that his head was also injured.

But now is not the time to pass out.

He raised his hand and slapped himself hard to come back to his senses.

Bai Yu concentrated his attention and opened the Chronicle of Heroes, found the inventory, clicked on 'Primary Life Potion' and used it!

It was as if the body was injected with adrenaline, the intense pain was quickly fading away, consciousness began to quickly become clear, and the broken bones and shattered internal organs in the chest were repairing themselves at an extremely fast speed.

Feeling that his recovery speed was slowing down, he immediately took another bottle of life potion... He took out a total of four bottles of recovery medicine, and two bottles of intermediate potions, which he would not bear to use unless it was a critical moment.

Now is the critical moment.

Two bottles of primary life potion healed the wound directly, and his drowsy consciousness became extremely clear. The damaged gap at the back of his head was also immediately restored. He turned around to look at the eye-catching bloodstain on the wall.

The broken door panel crashed across the corridor, shattering the huge decorative vase.

This series of noises attracted the attention of the waiters. One of the waiters who was carrying dishes almost slipped on the debris and didn't know what was going on.

Hua Li just happened to appear in the corridor at this time. She asked in surprise: "What happened?"

She looked up and saw Bai Yu, with blood on his head, clenching his fists. His eyes were cold as he said, "Notify Chang Ye Si... someone has kidnapped Ruan Qingxue."

"Qingxue is kidnapped... I'll notify you right away. You, you, come here quickly. You've lost so much blood."

Bai Yu ignored Hua Li and looked at the window in the women's restroom. There was a conspicuous rope tied on it. The height of the eighth floor was less than 30 meters, so she would not die if she jumped down with the rope. Moreover, the shape of this building was very similar to the sloping building in the movie "Who Am I", with a 75-degree inclination for sliding.

At this speed, by the time he took the elevator or walked up the stairs to the first floor, the other party would have already gotten into the car and fled.

Ruan Qingxue and Bai Yu are just classmates... It's not worth risking your life for her.

Yes, that's what we think rationally, but...

Her life!

It was me who saved him!

This was a life that I had saved with my own hands, how could I let her lose it so easily again!

Bai Yu didn't think too much, just a second or two, then took a deep breath, raised his hand and smoothed the blood-stained hair on his forehead to the top of his head.

Lower your head, bend your waist, and use your legs to exert force.

Hua Li had just dialed Chang Ye Si's number and was waiting for the call to be connected when she saw Bai Yu rushing out like an arrow. She widened her eyes and only had time to let out a scream.

Bai Yu rushed to the edge of the women's restroom at an extremely fast speed, grabbed a rope tied there, and when she clenched her fist, the effect of the formal attire hardened the inside and outside of her fist, so she didn't have to worry about her palm being rubbed.

His sight was locked on the other person for less than ten seconds, which was not enough for the other person to slide directly to the ground, but he was already very close to the ground.

Considering that the other party was carrying a person, it would not be very convenient for him to move. There would be someone below to pick him up in advance... Sure enough, there was a van parked below.

While gliding while holding the rope, Bai Yu thought and analyzed calmly.

Perhaps it was because he had experienced too many changes in a short period of time that he had been transformed from an ordinary person into a warrior who could withstand many storms.

Even if he didn't need to activate the Heroic Spirit Projection, he already had the courage to face this dangerous situation.

Unfortunately, he is now in his original form and cannot actively use the Heroic Spirit Projection or show his weapons, otherwise these classmates will see through his trick at a glance.

Soon the sliding process was over.

At a height of more than 20 meters, it doesn’t take ten seconds to land.

When Bai Yu landed on the ground, the other party had just stood up and walked forward a few steps.

Apparently not expecting anyone to jump down with him, he exposed his back.

Bai Yu would feel very sorry. If he was in the state of Destiny Editor at this time, he could just pull the trigger to blow up the back of the opponent's head. The bullet would pass through the apple cheek and the scene of blood splattering would definitely be beautiful.

But he couldn't, so he could only charge forward and shout a greeting at the same time.

"Hey!"

The burly man turned around after hearing the sound, and the moment he turned around, a fist hit him directly in the side of the face.

This sturdy man who was over two meters tall was jumped up and punched by the 1.8-meter-tall boy... Even so, considering the physical difference between the two, he weighed only more than 100 kilograms. Even if he used all his strength, there was no way he could shake this muscular man who weighed nearly 140 kilograms.

Fortunately, this straight punch was not a simple one... Bai Yu's fist was as hard as steel, which had been monitored in actual combat, so the kidnapper was like being hit hard on the temple by a fist with brass knuckles. Even though he was physically strong, if his weak part was hit like this, an ordinary person might have his brain splattered by now.

After the opponent received a punch, his body was obviously unable to support itself and began to stagger. His left shoulder collapsed. Ruan Qingxue, who was unconscious due to drugs, fell down. Bai Yu caught her. After confirming that she was still alive, he didn't care about anything else. He just carried the girl and retreated to the side.

But just when Bai Yu had run less than ten meters, a chill rose from behind him. He threw Ruan Qingxue away without hesitation, and rolled on the ground, narrowly avoiding something that was thrown from behind. The thing brushed against the back of his neck, scratched his skin, and left a dull stinging pain.

boom--!

It was a brick, a green brick pulled out of the ground, about the size of a plastic bucket, thrown like a discus and directly embedded into the wall of the building.

The kidnapper covered his bleeding temple, his sunglasses had been knocked off, and his expression was gloomy and manic.

"Little brat...you're looking for death!" He gritted his teeth and let out a low growl from his throat.

"You're the one seeking death." Bai Yu spat into his palms, then clenched them again. "Kidnapped in public with the intent to kill... Even if you surrender, you'll be sentenced to life imprisonment. Or do you want to be shot on the spot? I'll do either."

The burly man had a ferocious expression on his face. He spread out his hands and said, "I'm going to crush your skull alive!"

The muscles all over his body began to bulge suddenly, and dull whimpers and roars came from the bottom of his throat. Then thick black mane grew from under his skin. His height, which was already over two meters, grew by dozens of centimeters. The bones on his face protruded, canine teeth were sticking out, and dark shadows were cast.

A person just turned into a giant black bear.

Bai Yu's eyes flickered. He remembered that this kind of race was mentioned in books. The race was called "Mountain Bear". It was one of the hundreds of races in Daxia and a minority group. Like the Xiaoyue tribe, it was a race with the same bloodline heritage.

The mountain bear tribe will become extraordinary as soon as their talents awaken when they reach adulthood.

A few races are born with mysterious bloodlines, and only a relatively small number of races have this unique inheritance. This mountain bear clearly has this talent inheritance but became a criminal, so it has naturally gone astray.

Bai Yu felt a sense of oppression, not knowing where it came from. He just felt his body starting to tense up, and his nerves began to tingle slightly due to some allergic reactions, as if his body was reminding him to run fast.

The level of this mountain bear is eighteen, which is not completely insurmountable.

However, powerful bloodlines will suppress those with weak bloodlines or no bloodline. It is more of a kind of coercion and deterrence than suppression.

The instinctive fear of living things is as if a ferocious tiger is crawling in front of you and is being targeted as prey. Who wouldn't feel fear?

Fear brings tension, tension leads to mistakes, and mistakes lead to death.

The mountain bear would not miss the opportunity brought by the pressure and intimidation. It would slap the ground with its limbs, dive down with its head lowered, and charge forward. The ten-meter distance was only one or two seconds. If it did not react in advance, it would be hit by the opponent's bear paw. The arm strength of several hundred kilograms could directly smash its head into a meat patty.

At the thrilling moment, Bai Yu did not make any operational mistakes.

The deterrence worked on him... but that was nothing. He didn't have bloodline, so he wouldn't be suppressed by the other party's bloodline. What could suppress him was the fear of life's instinct, but fear... would naturally become dull as long as one experienced enough deaths.
