Chapter 298 Bloodline

A few days later, in the northeast of Nanhu Ze, there was an unknown dense forest in the mountains.

Crack!

Thunder roared, and lightning flashed across the night sky, illuminating the world into a pale white.

The rain was dense, like a thin line, pattering, constantly hitting the tree trunks and branches, and the broad grass leaves, making a continuous rustling sound.

In a cave in the mountain, a bright bonfire was placed in the middle, and around it were people who were warming themselves by the fire or drying clothes.

"The weather changes so fast. It was sunny and cloudless just now, but now it's raining... Oh..."

A man dressed as a guard stood at the side of the cave entrance, twisting his wet clothes hard. His head and face were covered with broken green grass and yellow mud. He seemed to be in a panic and fell down, looking very embarrassed.

Looking closely, it seemed that he was not the only one like this. Everyone in the cave was disheveled and ragged, like refugees fleeing famine.

"This is all thanks to Mr. Wang. If he hadn't seen that it was going to rain in advance, we would have suffered tonight."

On the other side of the cave, another guard was full of relief. Getting sick in the wild is no different from other places. In this wilderness, if you catch a cold, there is no medicine or treatment, you may die.

"Mr. Wang, how long will it take for the rain to stop?"

In the cave, Han Yi sat in front of the campfire and gently stuffed a piece of dried meat into his mouth.

For several consecutive days, he kept rushing day and night, and walked on a path that was uninhabited and full of thorns. The hardship and hardship can be imagined.

"Well, looking at this situation, I'm afraid I have to stay here tonight..." Wang Yunkai sighed and looked at the blurred forest outside the cave.

The night was dark, and the steam from the heavy rain washed away all traces, and nothing could be seen clearly.

He added: "It's good this way. Today, at least I can sleep peacefully..."

Everyone fell silent after hearing this.

A few days ago, since they defeated the assassins brought by Bishui Shura, the Black Crocodile was sunk. After they successfully landed on the shore in a small boat, they thought everything was over.

But who would have thought that they would encounter another wave of assassinations and ambushes as soon as they landed.

Everyone had just experienced a tragic battle and was in poor condition. They were instantly divided and cut apart by the enemy.

If it weren't for the critical moment, Xunzhen once again showed his power and burst out that pure invincible physical strength, they might not be able to break out of the encirclement.

But even so, most of the guards who survived the Black Crocodile were killed or injured. As for those who were already injured, the ending is needless to say.

And then, in order to avoid being hunted down, Wang Yunkai deliberately avoided the official road and rushed into the uninhabited deep mountains and dense forests.

These places are not even populated by people, not even birds.

There was no human habitation, the road was barren, and the weeds and bushes were so dense that there was no place to step.

But the strange thing was that even in this place where it was impossible for there to be informants, they were still caught up several times.

In the end, it was Wang Yunkai's many years of experience in the wild that forced his way into the unfamiliar area. With the sudden heavy rain, he temporarily got rid of the enemy's pursuit and was able to rest in this cave for a while.

As for the people who survived in the end...

In addition to Xunzhen, an "ordinary person" whose strength far exceeded that of ordinary martial artists...

There were also three martial artists, Wang Yunkai, Fatty Zheng, and Han Yi, as well as several elite guards brought by Wang Yunkai, and a personal maid of Xunzhen, and no one else.

The team of hundreds of people on the Black Crocodile was now only left with less than ten people.

And Fatty Zheng was even more glorious to become a commander without troops.

Not only was the monster meat that was originally to be sent to the capital city thrown away, but even his beautiful concubine from the fifth room was killed in the pursuit.

In fact, when they just got off the boat and reached the shore, he and Han Yi wanted to separate from Wang Yunkai and his group.

To put it bluntly, if Wang Yunkai and his group were close to them, it would be like being touched by honey, and disasters would come at any time.

But before Fatty Zheng and Han Yi could run away, those jackals who seemed to smell the scent surrounded them.

Too fast, too strong, too cruel...

Along the way, the two of them had no chance to run. When they had the chance to run, they had already been led by Wang Yunkai into a deserted area that was not even marked on the map. They had no choice but to follow Wang Yunkai all the way until dark.

"If God can give me another chance, I will definitely stay in the city honestly. If there is no deadline... then..."

Next to the bonfire, Fatty Zheng, regardless of his martial arts image, lay on the grass with his arms and legs spread out, his eyes dull and lifeless, mumbling to himself, he was already dizzy from hunger.

He was so hungry that he wanted to cry but had no tears. If he had known that he would suffer this fate, he would rather die outside. Being beaten to death would be better than being starved to death!

After several days of running and fighting, coupled with a lack of food, he was hungry for three days after eating one meal. Now Fatty Zheng has lost a lot of weight and looks like a normal person.

"I said, is there any food left? I only ate that little bit. I am almost starving to death..." He finally couldn't help it and stretched out his hand to Wang Yunkai.

What are you doing? Begging!

As the core pillar of the team, Wang Yunkai can also be regarded as the big housekeeper, managing the food and drink of the entire team.

"Eat... you know how to eat. You have eaten three times as much as others, so you know how to eat!"

Wang Yunkai cursed angrily, but he was also extremely helpless.

As soon as he said something harsh, the shameless fat man would burst into tears, hold his thigh, and say things like asking him to take responsibility...

And in the final analysis, they were indeed responsible for this matter. Therefore, he was too embarrassed to say anything more and could only decide to make more compensation if he had the opportunity in the future.

"Forget it, take it, take it!" Wang Yunkai impatiently took out a large piece of dried meat from the package and threw it heavily on the fat man's face.

The sudden advance of pigs along the way, coupled with such a heavy rain and clearing the tracks, should be considered safe now. If it is safe, it means that it means there is a chance to kill the prey and replenish the rations.

Fatty Zheng happily took it and started chewing it.

He was really hungry, not because of his talent, but because of his practice. The more serious the injury, the more he would eat to recover better.

Crackling...

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the big raindrops hit the banana leaves like falling on a jade plate.

For a moment, the cave became quiet again, except for the sound of Fatty Zheng gnawing meat.

"Mr. Wang, tell me something about you." Han Yi suddenly spoke, and a gust of wind suddenly blew into the cave, making the bonfire appear bright and dark.

He added: "I don't think that if it was just an ordinary study tour team from Dongyang College, it would attract such a big battle."

He glanced at Wang Yunkai, who had a wry smile on his face, and then glanced at Xun Zhen, who had his head lowered, as soft and frail as a little sheep.

"This..." Wang Yunkai said with a bitter smile, "Brother Han has a keen eye. We are indeed not a study tour team. We just happened to meet you, but no matter what, we are not bad people. After all these days, Some things can’t be hidden.”

"..." Han Yi was silent. Indeed, judging from the performance in the past few days, the various performances on the opposite side showed that they were also being hunted and a group of people on the run.

If the other side really wanted to harm them, there would be no need to spend so much effort or such a high price. The clear water Shura they met on the first day alone would be enough for Han Yi and the others to eat a pot.

Therefore, in the final analysis, Han Yi and the others were just the unlucky ones who were involved.

"Even if you say that..." Han Yi thought for a moment and organized his words, "Even if you say that, then you have to give us an explanation. We have so many people dead. Is it really so unclear? Didn't you die in vain? What do you want to do? We need to know this!"

Fatty Zheng also gnawed on dried meat and walked behind Han Yi.

Wang Yunkai still smiled bitterly: "Brother Han, our purpose was actually very simple from the beginning..."

He glanced at Xun Zhen, his eyes full of pity: "We are indeed going to Yunzhou Mansion to send Miss Xun Zhen to Dongyang College."

"Just to give someone away?" Han Yi asked.

"Yes, this is our purpose!" Wang Yunkai said firmly.

"So..." Han Yi asked calmly, "Excuse me, Miss Xunzhen, what is so special about it that is worth paying such a high price for you, and worthy of chasing your forces and spending such a high price? !”

Just to send one person away, so many people have to die.

Then, either this person has a special status, or there are other aspects!

Han Yi suspected that this matter might be related to the power that Xun Zhen burst out!

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the cave suddenly became tense.

Wang Yunkai's expression suddenly became serious, and the four or five guards around him also vaguely pressed the sabers on their waists.

Even Fatty Zheng put down the dried meat in his hand and looked at Wang Yunkai, ready to take action if he was not careful.

The bonfire flickered on and off, casting everyone's shadows on the cave wall, beating like monsters.

"What, you want to take action?" Han Yi chuckled, "I heard that you are all Confucian scholars from Dongyang College. Why, you have killed so many of us, so just don't feel guilty at all. Not only do we not blame you, Instead, I tried my best to help you along the way, but in the end, I wanted to repay kindness with enmity? "

"Is it possible that you have memorized the Three Cardinal Principles and Five Constant Rules, the Four Books and the Five Classics, benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom and trust, all these years, and learned them all from dogs?"

Han Yi's voice was not loud, but it spread to the ears of everyone in the cave.

Wang Yun came to one side, everyone looked a little ashamed, and several guards lowered their heads.

These guards, who were born in Dongyang College, had received Confucian education since they were young and had benevolence and righteousness in their hearts. But now, their own actions were completely contrary to this.

"Brother Han...we...didn't mean that..." Wang Yunkai sighed, "It's just that the secret implications of this issue are too great... It’s really a bit out of bounds…”

"Let me tell you." At this time, Xunzhen, who had been keeping his head down and silent, suddenly raised his head.

"Miss..." Wang Yunkai wanted to say something, but Xun Zhen waved his hand to stop him.

"Sorry, Han Yi, we did hide something from you at the beginning." Xun Zhen said seriously, "But this is not for deception, but for protection."

Han Yi looked at her and said nothing.

Xun Zhen didn't care and continued: "Their purpose is indeed for me, to be precise, for my bloodline."

"Blood...bloodline?!" Han Yi was slightly stunned.

"Yes...bloodline...it is both a curse and a blessing..." Xun Zhen's voice was hoarse and a little depressed, "My full name is Tan Tai Xun Zhen, a member of the spirit beast family, the Tan Tai family..."

The spirit beast bloodline family, unlike ordinary people who can only become stronger after practicing martial arts, they are born with strength. Even if they don't practice martial arts or exercise, they will have powerful strength in their bodies.

And the only thing they need to do is to develop and use the bloodline power that is innate in their bodies, awaken the bloodline power, tap the bloodline power, and strengthen the bloodline power. This is the only thing they have to do.

In simple terms, you only need to eat, drink, and have fun to become stronger and stronger. It can be said that even the weakest of the children of the noble families needs ordinary people to make countless hard efforts and practice for decades to reach the level.

"So... in this world, the children of noble families are born rulers... Our power is born, the noble families are born with glory, and we are born with the responsibility of protecting mortals, so the demons can only be dealt with by our noble families!" Tan Tai Xun Zhen said seriously, emphasizing each word.
