Wen Chi almost instinctively turned his body to the side and hugged Sui Sui tightly, so that Sui Sui did not hit the stone wall as hard as he did.

Sui Sui only felt the embrace that protected her tremble a little, and she looked up blankly -

Click.

A drop of blood slid down Wen Chi's jawline and dripped onto Sui Sui's cheek.

Sui Sui's eyes were still confused, and he had no idea what was going on.

Wen Chi immediately wiped off the bloodstains for her and smiled at her:

"Brother, it's okay. Don't be afraid."

It's not okay.

Wen Chi basically slammed his forehead into the stone wall with a lot of force.

If he hadn't buffered the situation at the critical moment, he would have been seriously injured on the spot.

Of course, he is not in a better condition now. There is a cut on his forehead and bleeding profusely.

He relied on his perseverance to prevent himself from getting dizzy and vomiting on the spot.

Sui Sui murmured:

"elder brother……"

Chu Yan, who was following closely behind, also noticed the movement and his expression changed drastically:

"What's going on?"

Why did the way to enter the spiritual land suddenly become ineffective?

"Of course it's because of me."

There was no wind in the forest.

The leaves rustled and the surroundings were very cold and quiet.

Along with the sound of heavy footsteps, a strange man in a black robe appeared in their sight.

The black robe covered the man's appearance from head to toe, making it impossible to tell his identity.

The voice of the man in black robe was even stranger.

It was very stiff and awkward, as if he had just learned to speak.

This feeling of being human-like yet different from humans instantly makes people fall into the uncanny valley effect, making people feel creepy when listening to it.

Chu Yan's face immediately darkened, knowing that the other party had ill intentions.

Moreover, that fatal arrow also showed that the opponent's target was Sui Sui!

Chu Yan's face was solemn and stern, and he put his grandfather behind him.

At the same time, he also blocked Sui Sui and Wen Chi.

"Who are you? What are you going to do?"

The man in black robe laughed softly.

His laugh was unpleasant, like a night owl.

He simply ignored Chu Yan, or rather, looked down on her.

"Bai Yu Ling Shen, how long are you going to hide? Do you know that I have been looking for you for many years?"

Chu Yan and Yu Jiming didn’t know Sui Sui’s specific identity for the time being, and were confused by what they heard.

Wen Chi's expression changed instantly, and he directly identified the "White Jade Spiritual Ginseng" with Sui Sui!

He immediately protected Sui Sui more closely and retorted:

"There's no White Jade Ginseng you're looking for here! We're all human!"

When Chu Yan heard Wen Chi say this, his heart skipped a beat and he almost guessed the truth.

He gritted his teeth, knowing that today might not be so easy to resolve.

The black-robed man opposite is unpredictable, I’m afraid... this won’t end well!

Chu Yan had already made a careful plan in his mind.

The man in black robe seemed to be in a leisurely and carefree manner.

Perhaps in his eyes, no matter how Chu Yanwen Chi and the others responded, it would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

Which human being would care about the ants under his feet when walking?

Xiaoshan seemed to sense the black-robed man's contempt and jumped out:

“Awooooo ...

A low, hoarse warning sound came from its throat, as if it was ready to pounce at any moment!

The black-robed man finally took a look at it:

"You are a wise spirit beast, worthy of being called the White Jade Spiritual Ginseng. Even an ordinary dog can be reborn by your side. If I eat you!"

He was uncontrollably excited!

Sui Sui couldn't help but tremble, the deepest fear in his bones surging out:

“No! No!”

Chu Yan's expression was resolute and he said loudly:

"Sui Sui, don't be afraid! Big brother will protect you!"

Wen Chi also hugged Sui Sui tightly:

"Brother will protect you."

Even Yu Jiming laughed:

"Sui Sui, Grandpa's old bones should still be of some use."

Sui Sui was stunned for a moment, feeling herself surrounded by huge and soft love.

This love is so strong and warm, it is a love that is willing to give life for her!

Suisui looked at his eldest brother, his older brother and grandfather blankly.

Under normal circumstances, they would definitely take the opportunity to interact with Sui Sui and tease her.

But now I have no free time.

Chu Yan, Wen Chi and Yu Jiming all showed regret in their eyes.

Maybe they all feel that there will be no chance in the future.

At this time, Wen Chi had already leaned close to Sui Sui's ear and said almost in a whisper:

"When I tell you to run later, you run. Don't stop and don't look back."

Sui Sui grabbed Wen Chi's collar in fear, shaking her head like a rattle:

"I don't want it!"

Wen Chi rarely had a stern face, showing the authority of an older brother:

"You must listen to me! Otherwise, I will never see you again!"

Sui Sui pouted in grievance, and tears gradually filled her eyes.

Such an atmosphere is like the separation of life and death.

Chu Yan and Yu Jiming, who were standing close by, couldn't hear what was said clearly, but they were inevitably affected by the atmosphere and felt particularly heavy-hearted.

The same is true for the hills.

At the scene, there was only one person who was completely detached from the situation.

Oh, no, maybe it shouldn't be called a person.

The man in black robe was more than ten meters away from them.

But he seemed to have super hearing, and he heard every word of the conversation that even Chu Yan couldn't hear clearly.

The shadow under the black robe laughed maliciously:

"There's no need to part ways here, because—you can't escape alone!"

After he finished speaking, he shook his black robe, and a long whip as flexible as a snake suddenly emerged from under the robe!

The whip shadow came with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and it came towards him with the force to break thousands of troops!

But this time, the target was not Suisui, but Chuyan who took the lead!

Chu Yan quickly took off his backpack and raised it up, trying to block it!

But the power of the whip was so terrifying that it actually broke the entire backpack with just one whip!

The folding tents, clothes, etc. inside were all torn apart by the whip shadow and strong wind!

Chu Yan's heart suddenly sank.

How can this be a whip? It's clearly a sword!

He was close just now and could clearly see the barbs on the whip.

If you hit someone, their skin and flesh will be torn and bleeding will continue!

However, Chu Yan was still not afraid. He held onto half of the backpack as a shield and pulled out a trekking pole as a makeshift weapon, trying to get closer to the man in black.

Chu Yan certainly knew that it was impossible for him to subdue this mysterious man in black robe with his own strength.

He just wanted to delay time and make the black-robed man focus his attention on him temporarily.

This will give Suisui enough time to escape!

Even for a minute!

Many years ago, he wanted to protect his mother and sister, but failed.

He felt upset and regretful about this and wanted to go back to the past countless times.

He hated his own powerlessness.

so.

This time.

Chu Yan will never allow the same thing to happen!

Chu Yan's eyes were extremely determined!

And the little hill beside him also rushed out tacitly!

And there is also Wen Chi!

He also temporarily put aside his years and fought alongside his elder brother!
