Chapter 769: Chapter 602: Terrifying Encounter in the Mountains
Little at Bun’s soft and sticky words echoed in his ears; tears slowly stread down Wuchang Taitian’s cheeks as he was half-conscious…
Only a few yards from the mountain path, a large and a small figure nestled together, hiding behind a big tree.
“Search! Whoever causes trouble in Great Swamp Mountain will be promoted one rank—dense forests, mountain paths, and don’t miss any place!”
Just as Little at Bun was waiting for Wuchang Taitian’s response, a large group of Gu won from afar ca closer, each holding two portraits in their hands, and at the command of the leader, all the Gu won instantly dispersed to both sides of the mountain path!
“Oh no! They’re coming again!” Little at Bun exclaid in surprise, no longer bothering to ask further, and quickly stirred up with his little paws!
Dry leaves! Thick dry leaves that had accumulated over the years!
Little at Bun quickly covered up the blanket behind the big tree with dry leaves and twigs, then nestled next to the wrapped blanket, his small body disappeared under the leaves, leaving only his round pudgy eyes peeping cautiously around!
Though Little at Bun was small, he trusted his own instincts!
This batch of Gu won searching seed to be much stronger than the guards who had been relentlessly pursuing them over the past few days!
Gu won, ah! Won indeed ruled in the Southern Borderlands!
Thinking this, Little at Bun carefully shrunk his little body even more!
A small group of Gu won was already walking towards their hiding tree, the footsteps getting nearer and nearer!
Fifteen steps! Ten steps! Five steps!
…
Little at Bun carefully lifted his little paws and covered his nose, a trace of worry flashing through his eyes!
It’s getting closer!
What to do? What to do? The dicine his mother gave him had already run out! If they were discovered, they would have no choice but to fight back fiercely!
If he couldn’t fight back, he could still run, but what about Old Handso Guy by his side?
He hadn’t heard the final answer and would absolutely not leave Old Handso Guy alone!
Fine sweat beads, along with the Gu won’s advancing footsteps, overflowed Little at Bun’s forehead!
He was so scared! He so wanted to be with his mother!
Because he realized that this wave of searching Gu won moved too subtly, far lighter than the Gu won serving in the Witch Gu Temple, much, much more formidable than them!
“Don’t find us, don’t find us…”
Little at Bun prayed over and over in his heart!
Finally, a Gu woman approached his hiding spot!
Little at Bun’s face suddenly stiffened!
Clamping his lips with his teeth, he suppressed any sounds while buried under the dry leaves!
Finally, that Gu woman walked past him, the sound of footsteps gradually moving away!
Little at Bun remained rigid for a long while before crawling out from under the leaves, holding his little feet and crying out in a plaintive whimper!
“Wuwu…my foot! She stepped on my foot! It hurts! Mother…I want my mother…wu wu…”
The fright of escaping from the Witch Gu Temple, the fatigue from endlessly running day after day, all the grievances and fear burst out in that mont!
Big teardrops fell one after another, Little at Bun’s tiny body curled in the leaves, crying incredibly pitifully!
“Mother! Mother where are you…why haven’t you co to get ? Don’t you want Little at Bun anymore? Wuwu…”
A pale hand slowly rested on his little shoulder; Wuchang Taitian used all his strength to pull his tiny body closer to himself, covered his little mouth with his palm, and pressed his body down, whispering, “Don’t…don’t cry! They haven’t…haven’t gone far yet!”
As he spoke, the other large hand wrapped around his little feet, Wuchang Taitian tried his best to force a smile, “Don’t be afraid, I…I will protect you! I won’t let anyone hurt you!”
Even if it ant risking his life, he would always protect this child!
Wuchang Taitian’s gaze was incredibly determined as he looked up at the leaves of the great tree that blocked the sky; his eyes slightly closed, “Sun and Moon Rotation, thirty years have passed, Ruoshui, I will see her, fulfill our last wish!”
“Old Handso Guy?” Little at Bun said, looking puzzled, his face still stained with tears, his round pudgy eyes _moistly blinking.
“Shh!” Wuchang Taitian leaned on the edge of the big tree, his eyes slightly closed, “Far away, soone is fighting!”
“…” Little at Bun paused when he heard this, quickly perked up his small ears, focusing intently. But he couldn’t hear anything, “Old Handso Guy, I can’t hear it! I didn’t hear anything! Who is fighting whom? Why can’t I hear a thing?”
“Heh heh… I didn’t hear it either…” Wuchang Taitian said, lowering his head to look at him with a light laugh, “I can’t hear, but I can predict it! After more than twenty years, she has finally co back to find …”
“Who?” Xiao at Bun asked, tilting his head imdiately upon hearing this.
“The one who can help us escape the pursuit, the one who can help us find your mother! Cough cough…” Wuchang Taitian said, getting a bit too excited and starting to cough lightly. As he coughed, a trace of blood once again flowed from the corner of his mouth.
“Old Handso Guy!” Xiao at Bun exclaid, his heart suddenly racing as he helped him to lie back down wrapped in the quilt, tilting his little head to look at his frail Old Handso Guy, his face pondering, “From the sound of it, it’s a friend not a foe! Mother said, the enemy of my enemy is my friend! I want to see who it is, who dares to confront those Gu won!”
With that, Xiao at Bun endured the pain in his foot and carefully followed the direction in which a small squad of Gu won had left, of course not forgetting to drag the quilt behind him!
The night shrouded the outer Great Swamp Mountain, where towering ancient trees were everywhere!
Xiao at Bun walked cautiously, not daring to be careless!
The rustling of the leaves in the silent mountains was particularly harsh—any slight noise could travel far!
In the distance, within the pitch-black night, a hunched figure blending into the darkness blocked the path of about ten Gu won who had just searched past Xiao at Bun. With a slightly hunched back and a broad witch robe, only her skeletal staff in her hand under the night, eerily glowed with a cold light!
“Who goes there?” The leader of the small squad of Gu won spotted her and imdiately shouted harshly!
“Kakaka…” The witch robe swept across the dry leaves on the ground, making a rustling sound. The black figure, without stopping, laughed hoarsely, her eyes hidden under the witch robe coldly fixating on the ten or so careful Gu won before her, confusedly asked, “Have you, seen my master?”
“What master? Who are you to hide your face and reveal your tail! The outer mountains of Great Swamp Mountain are a key location in the Southern Border, all intruders will be killed without rcy!” Upon hearing this, the leader of the Gu won imdiately narrowed her eyes dangerously.
In the next mont, the ten or so Gu won, as if telepathically, summoned their Gu insects!
Instantly, over ten bizarrely large Gu insects stood in front of the bent figure!
“Haven’t seen… my master… Where are you, master? I am back… I’ve co to take you ho…” The bent figure seed to not see the ten ferocious Gu insects in front of her, lost in thought as she shook her head, her hoarse voice clearly disappointed!
“Stop! Take one more step forward, and don’t bla us for executing you on the spot!” The leader of the Gu won shouted again!
With her command, the ten or so Gu insects imdiately opened their bloody mouths, closing in on the bent figure!
“Kakaka… Who did I think it was, daring to block my path! It turns out it’s just a bunch of little minions who slipped out from Three Palaces Mountain!” The black witch robe lifted, the bent figure lightly glanced at the ten or so Gu insects in front of her, speaking contemptuously.
Having their identities so easily revealed, the ten or so Gu won imdiately changed their expressions!
If it were soone else, not to ntion their Life-bound Gu being fully deployed. Even one or two would easily scare people to pieces. In contrast, this person did not seem to care at all!
“Get out of my way! I’m going to find my master! Those who block , don’t bla for being rciless!” Below the witch robe, the bent figure once again stepped forward, ignoring the Gu insects blocking the way, murmuring in a low, lost voice, “Whether dead or alive, even if it’s just a handful of dry bones, I must take my master back… Master, where are you… Granny has co to pick you up, to take you ho…”
The leader of the Gu won, her face frozen in horror, and the ten or so Gu won looked at each other, all on guard as they watched the skeleton bone staff in the bent figure’s hand!
For a mont, they did not know whether to recall their Gu or to defend the outer mountain and attack!
Yet, they had a feeling, this old woman was definitely not simple!
Indeed, this old woman was not simple at all!
As she walked past a toad Gu, a drop of saliva flowed from the toad Gu’s mouth, fortuitously dropping onto the witch robe of the bent figure!
In just an instant, that bent figure, that seed like a Wandering Soul, suddenly transford!
Black mists filled her bent figure, with heavy ghostly howls echoing within the black mist!
“Ahhh! How dare you dirty my garnt! My master detests filth and disorder! You dare dirty my garnt! You all deserve to die! Deserve to die!” Her hoarse, exhausted screams echoed through the woods, a deep, exotic tone resonating from the black mist, “In the na of my Ghost Witch, I summon thousands of ghostly spirits, devour them! Co and consecrate my soiled clothes!”
One after another, skull-like ghost shadows, following her voice, broke free from her skeleton bone staff!
Opening their bloody maws, filled with fierce ghostly auras, they lunged directly at the ten or so Gu insects beside her!
“Witch! Witch! She is a witch!”
The leader of the Gu won, seeing this, imdiately recoiled in horror!
Witch!
The Witch of Bashu!
Only the Witch of Bashu would act while chanting!
The Witch and Gu Tribes have a long historical connection, yet, since the Southern Borderland upheaval that involved a high-ranking man from Bashu, Bashu’s witch seldom set foot in the Southern Borderland again!
Today, they had encountered a witch!
And not just any witch, but a Ghost Witch capable of summoning thousands of evil spirits!
With ghosts wailing and wolves howling, the spirits seized their lives… They…
