Ten days later, at midnight, the moonlight in the sky gradually slanted. Everything seemed to fall into silence. Only the occasional roars and mournful wails in the dark forest indicated the danger hidden in the darkness.
In a corner of the forest, the bonfire was still emitting a faint light. Although it was not as bright as before, it was still dutifully warming up and bringing warmth to the three people beside him.
Ye Xing, who was leaning against the tree and seemed to be in a deep sleep, suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were like the stars in the night sky as he secretly observed his surroundings.
Tian Ming, who was drooling while hugging the tree, and Ge Nia, who was cultivating, were all in a daze.'
Gently, Ye Xing got up and walked slowly on tiptoe, as if he was afraid of alerting the other two. Finally, Ye Xing distanced himself from the two of them. After realizing that he did not alarm the two of them, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Golden bat wings appeared silently. The bat wings were light and gentle. There was no violent wind or other unnecessary sounds. There was only a cool breeze blowing through the quiet forest at night, without causing a ripple.
Ye Xing's body gradually rose into the air as his bat wings flapped soundlessly. Seeing Ge Nia and Tian Ming's bodies getting smaller and smaller in front of him, he looked up and observed the direction. When he lowered his head again, he didn't see the two of them waking up at all. With a mysterious smile, his bat wings began to exert strength, and he charged in the direction he had observed.
However, what Ye Xing did not see was that when he was far away from the night sky, a white figure sitting cross-legged below suddenly opened his eyes. It was calm and profound.
As he silently watched Ye Xing's figure gradually leave, Ge Nia's left hand quietly pressed on his sword, Deep Rainbow. A cold light appeared, and the temperature in the forest seemed to drop a little. The fire became dimmer, and the swaying became even greater. The sleeping Tianming shivered, smacked his lips, and changed his position to continue sleeping.
For some reason, Ge Nia didn't make any further moves. He stared at Ye Xing's disappearing figure, the cold light, and the strange situation in the forest. The fire returned to its original state, and Ge Nia closed his eyes. The forest returned to its original silence, as if nothing had happened. It was just that the three of them had become two.
Flying under the deep night sky, Ye Xing did not notice anything that had just happened. His figure flashed across the sky at a speed as fast as a golden lightning bolt.
"Sigh! As expected…the days of being hunted down were not easy! This Ying Zheng was making a mountain out of a molehill! F * ck, even the army has been mobilized. No wonder Tianming couldn't take it anymore and threw a tantrum. Even I can't stand this kind of life!”
Ye Xing quickly flapped his bat wings. When he thought of his life in the past ten days, he felt a little sad.
Ever since Ge Nia had defeated a small group of Qin soldiers a few days ago, it was as if he had poked a hornet's nest. The Qin soldiers had started to come in an endless stream, lining up to send themselves to their deaths. Although Ge Nia would harvest every wave like he was harvesting wheat, even a man of steel would be tired!
Although Ge Nia hadn't shown it in the past few days, Ye Xing could still tell that the constant harassment of the Qin soldiers had had some effect. Ge Nia was clearly a little tired.
Although Ge Nia and the others had been trying to change their direction for the past few days, it was to no avail. Just as Ge Nia had said, there was an expert tracker following them. No matter how hard they tried to cover their tracks, the soldiers would always find them and slow them down.
Ge Nia had wanted to find the person chasing him more than once, but this person was abnormally cunning and did not seem to be fooled at all. This made the Sword Saint feel a little helpless.
Moreover, Ye Xing didn't know if it was his imagination, but these soldiers seemed to have changed their strategy in the past few days. They weren't fighting in close combat but in long-range combat. Every time, they would shoot arrows at the same time. There were a few times when they were in danger and almost got injured.
This forced Ye Xing to fly high in the sky and observe their surroundings closely. They could not relax at all, and if they found any enemies, Ge Nia would inform them.
Although the effect of doing this was indeed very good, and the danger they faced was also reduced, without Ye Xing and Tian Ming's burden, Ge Nia could completely do as he pleased.
Moreover, Ye Xing was also very careful, trying his best not to let them discover his existence. However, his condition had clearly deteriorated a lot after a few days of continuous reconnaissance. It made him want to let his underlings scout on his behalf, but in the end, Ye Xing thought about it and did not use this method.
Ye Xing didn't know if it was his imagination, but he felt that these soldiers were deliberately dragging them, as if they were waiting for someone.
Shaking his head, he didn't dwell on these things anymore. In any case, if the sky collapsed, there would be someone taller to hold it up. Ge Nia would be there for everything. In any case, if it really couldn't work out in the end, he would use his ultimate move and run away with Tianming! Qin Bing probably couldn't do anything to him!
Thanks to these soldiers, Ye Xing had quickly used his basic sword techniques in actual combat under Ge Nia's guidance. He had also mastered the usage of the crossbow in his hand. With a ready-made moving target, Ye Xing had started playing the ancient version of Crossing Fire. Furthermore, he was also the elusive sniper. Long-range high-altitude attacks were simply too awesome.
Although his accuracy still needed to be improved, with his good eyesight, Ye Xing could still shoot four out of ten times. Every time before the soldiers could react, they would lose their lives!
This was the first time Ye Xing had killed someone. He did not have the expected reaction of fear. On the contrary, he had an indescribable pleasure, a thirst for blood, and a disregard for life! This allowed him to quickly change his mindset. Although it was just a basic sword technique, it was getting sharper and sharper. The accuracy of the crossbow was also increasing, which surprised Ge Nia.
Thinking of Tianming's envy of him, Ye Xing was also somewhat happy! The corners of his mouth naturally revealed a smile. Thinking about what he had to do, although he had to wake up in the middle of the night, it was still worth it to gain favorable impression points! Hehe…
Ye Xing laughed sinisterly. He was deeply satisfied with his IQ and EQ. While Ye Xing was indulging in his fantasies, time slowly passed. After half an hour, a flash of light under the night sky gradually entered Ye Xing's eyes. As the distance narrowed, Ye Xing could vaguely see the general outline.
It was as if there was a ferocious beast in the darkness, wantonly emitting a cold aura. Ye Xing looked at the city in front of him that was getting clearer and clearer. He seemed to be able to vaguely see soldiers patrolling the city with weapons in their hands.
Swallowing his saliva, Ye Xing became even more careful here. He tried his best to fly high into the sky to avoid being discovered.
···········
The sun rose and the moon set. The light from the east gradually pierced through the deepest darkness and brought warmth back to the earth. The humidity in the forest was the heaviest in the early morning. He was awakened by the dew falling from the branches. His sleepy eyes felt the moisture in the forest and he was not sleepy at all.
Tian Ming tightened his clothes and shivered. He yawned and stretched his body with tears streaming down his face. He scratched his short brown hair that looked like a chicken nest. Tianming looked at the bonfire that was emitting green smoke. His eyes were dull, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"He's awake!" A calm greeting broke Tianming's mood! Tian Ming came back to his senses and looked at Ge Nia, who was sitting across from him. He smiled awkwardly and scratched his head. Hehe, uncle, aren't you tired sitting like this? It's so uncomfortable for me to do what you're doing! Uncle, can you sleep like this?"
"On the path of martial arts, if you don't advance, you will retreat.”
Tian Ming listened to Ge Nia's ambiguous words and scratched his head. With his brain capacity of only 5, how could he comprehend such profound words?
"What do you mean by retreating and advancing? Uncle, you know that I'm not well-educated, but you still say such profound words!”
Tianming mumbled vaguely as he rolled his eyes a few times. Suddenly, he seemed to have discovered something. Tianming suddenly asked in surprise,"Uncle! Where did Ye Xing go? Why didn't I see him? Did he go hunting again?"
Tian Ming, who had just discovered that Ye Xing had disappeared, turned his head around to look for him. All he could see was the vast green forest, and there was no sign of his familiar figure. In the end, he could only ask Ge Nia.
Ge Nia didn't say anything. He looked at Tianming deeply before closing his eyes. Facing Ge Nia's expression, a bad feeling flashed through Tian Ming's heart. Deep in his heart, an answer that he did not want to face the most appeared in his mind. Although he tried his best to get rid of this thought, it was like a maggot in his bones.
"How is that possible? No way. Ye Xing said that he would accompany me all the way. No matter how dangerous it is, he said that he would never leave me alone. Uncle, do you think Ye Xing went hunting? Tell me!"
Tianming's voice grew louder and louder, trembling in disbelief. Holding onto his last bit of hope, he shouted at Ge Nia! It was as if he wanted to get a definite answer from Ge Nia to comfort his panicked heart.
Ge Nia did not speak from the beginning to the end. He sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, silently responding!
Tian Ming had been waiting for the answer he wanted, but Ge Nia's silence was like a heavy hammer that crushed the last bit of hope in his heart.
Ge Nia's silence made Tianming extremely anxious, but he still didn't want to believe the answer. As his first friend, Ye Xing had an indescribable feeling for Tianming. He turned around and shouted Ye Xing's name loudly, hoping that Ye Xing would immediately appear in front of him in the next moment.
However, this seemed to be futile. In the end, Tianming could only walk to Ge Nia's side in disappointment. His dejected appearance had lost his usual exuberant vitality. Tianming's eyes were slightly moist, and he seemed unwilling to accept this. Using all his strength, he roared," Ye Xing, where the hell did you go? Come out quickly…"
