"Are you serious?" Lu Qing, the lady in blue gauze, looked at Xu Zii with hope as she asked.
"Of course, otherwise why would I risk my life to co here?" Xu Zii said with a smile.
"The lord has asked you to wait a little longer, once his wounds have healed, he will co to rescue you."
"No need, no need," Lu Qing hurriedly waved her hands as she spoke, tears streaming down her face without stopping.
"As long as he’s fine, that’s all I need to know to be at peace."
"Sister, since Ragefire Brother is fine, shouldn’t you also take good care of yourself?" Lu Yun urged quickly from the side.
"What will Ragefire Brother do if sothing happens to you?"
Hearing Lu Yun’s words, Lu Qing hurriedly nodded and said, "That’s right, I can’t afford to have anything happen to , otherwise what will Nu Lang do.
I’ll tidy up now, and then move out of here."
Watching Lu Qing rush into her room, Xu Zii laughed, "She’s so flustered, she’s not thinking at all."
"Keep your voice down," Lu Yun hurriedly warned, "You try waiting in agony for a thousand years, you’d be in a blind panic too."
Just at that mont, another series of footsteps could be heard from outside.
Before Lu Yun could react, the wooden gate of the courtyard was kicked open.
"My lord, I just heard so noise here," a voice of a gatekeeper whispered.
Then a group of people dressed in green armor burst in.
There were about a dozen of them, accompanied by a man in a green shirt.
Upon seeing the man in the green shirt, Lu Qing’s face changed, and she angrily exclaid, "Lv He, you betrayed ."
The man in the green shirt was about to say sothing when the leader of the armored n gestured and said, "Co collect your food tomorrow, now get lost."
"Alright, alright," the man in the green shirt smiled obsequiously and quickly left the courtyard.
"No one is allowed to be out at night, don’t you know that?" the leader said to Lu Yun indifferently.
"I ca to see my sister," Lu Yun stepped forward, shielding Xu Zii as she smiled and explained.
"Who is he?" the leader asked, staring directly at Xu Zii.
"Why doesn’t he have any characteristics of the Lizard tribe?"
"Run," Lu Yun glanced at Xu Zii, whispering.
"Catch him," however, the leader was more vigilant, and with a wave of his right hand, the armored soldiers surged forward.
"Run, quickly," seeing Xu Zii unmoving, Lu Yun shouted urgently.
"What’s the rush?" Xu Zii waved his hand and then squeezed his right hand.
Even across a distance of three or four ters, the leader’s neck seed to be gripped by an invisible giant hand.
He was lifted by the neck off his feet.
The leader’s face turned green as he struggled to breathe.
With a bit too much force from Xu Zii, the leader’s head was squeezed off and fell from his neck.
The people around, seeing what had happened, were scared and stepped back several paces.
"No one leaves," Xu Zii waved his hand, and the air around them suddenly compressed together.
With a "boom," their bodies exploded, blood and flesh flying in the air.
"This," Lu Yun, witnessing the scene unfolding before her, was completely stunned.
Xu Zii didn’t bother with her and instead bent down to extract the hearts of these Green Lizards.
There was a risk of failure when fusing hearts, so he had no choice but to prepare several.
As the hearts were ssily torn out, Lu Yun was terrified to her core.
"You, you, you," she stamred, unable to speak clearly.
"What’s wrong?" Xu Zii asked.
"Who exactly are you?" Lu Yun asked.
"Haven’t I told you? Just a sowhat capable human who has strayed into this place," Xu Zii said with a smile.
"Let’s discuss sothing."
"What?" Lu Yun asked.
"Take to find lizards from other tribes. If I’m in a good mood, I might just beco a dragon-slaying hero," Xu Zii said with a laugh.
"Do you realize what you’re saying?" Lu Yun was taken aback before responding.
"Are you aware of what that Black Dragon represents? You’ve killed these people, and by tomorrow it will certainly be discovered. I advise you to hide instead."
"I know what I’m talking about. You better think it over," Xu Zii replied.
As they were talking, Lu Qing had finished packing and walked out of the room.
"Let’s go."
Lu Qing nodded. As she hadn’t eaten for a long ti, she looked sowhat frail.
She needed support to walk.
"I’ll take my leave then," Xu Zii said from the side: "I’ll wait for you in that orchard. If you don’t co by dawn tomorrow, I’ll leave.
You have only one chance."
Watching Xu Zii’s departing figure, Lu Yun’s mouth opened slightly as if wanting to say sothing, but in the end, he fell silent.
"Where is he going?" Lu Qing asked.
"He ca here with a mission this ti. Sister, you don’t need to worry," Lu Yun said with a smile.
…
After returning to the orchard, Xu Zii resud his cultivation.
He wouldn’t waste too much ti here.
Although there was no fog that he could absorb here, Xu Zii had a premonition that the source of the mist might well be within this small world.
Xu Zii wasn’t familiar with this world either. It would be best if soone could lead him; if not, he didn’t mind exploring on his own.
A night passed without words.
As the sky gradually lightened with the first signs of dawn, Xu Zii heard a series of soft footsteps approaching.
Looking up, he saw Lu Yun coming over dressed in a large black leather coat and trousers, with a big backpack on his back.
A white cape hung behind him, which made his attire look quite comical.
"What’s this?" Xu Zii laughed.
"How is it, not bad huh, my battle robe," Lu Yun laughed: "I’ve prepared for a long ti."
"Made up your mind?" Xu Zii asked.
"Although I don’t believe you can defeat the Black Dragon, I’ve had enough of this kind of life. I want to give it a try," Lu Yun laughed: "At worst, I die. Sotis, it feels more painful to be alive."
"Not a bad idea," Xu Zii nodded in agreent.
"You’ll be glad about your choice this ti."
"So, where shall we head first?" asked Lu Yun.
"Let’s start with the territory of the Red Lizards," Xu Zii replied.
Lu Yun nodded and took out a map from his bosom.
The map, made from so sort of animal skin, seed quite old and worn out.
"This was left by my great-great-grandfather. Back then, the Black Dragon hadn’t taken control here yet, and our lizard tribes interacted with each other," Lu Yun explained.
He spread out the map, studied it for a while, and said, "Head east and keep going. After crossing the Black Jiao River, it’ll take three days to get there."
"Then let’s get going," Xu Zii waved his hand and said, "Give that backpack. It’ll be troubleso for you to carry it."
He took the backpack and imdiately threw it into his True Fate World.
