Chapter 44 Separation
The other psychics who came to hunt them were frightened by this incredible energy and stood there in a daze. Momo took advantage of this opportunity to jump over the wall and leave with the other four.
Momo stopped after running ten kilometers. Momo's hind leg was bitten by the hunting dog. Blood flowed down the dog's leg, and the originally white fur was dyed red.
Zhu Ci picked up his backpack and gave him all the remaining bullets. "Wait until you feel better before treating Momo. I'm going back to save Mu Ke. You guys wait here..."
"I'll go with you!" Xu Zhiyang grabbed Zhu Ci's sleeve tightly.
Zhu Ci raised his hand and touched the boy's cheek, wiping away the dust on Xu Zhiyang's skin, and gently pinched it. "Wait for me here. If we are not back before dawn, you must leave immediately."
Xu Zhiyang's eyes were red, "I said I'm with you."
"Be obedient. You're not well yet. Going with me will only make me...worry."
Zhu Ci rarely smiles, but this time he smiled generously at Xu Zhiyang.
"Leave."
Zhu Ci turned around and suddenly heard the sound of a sharp blade being unsheathed behind him. He turned around and saw that it was Xu Zhiyang holding the dagger against his neck. The dagger was so sharp that his neck was broken and bleeding.
Xu Zhiyang said calmly: "I'll force Ah Yang out, and he'll go with you."
"No!" Zhu Ci slashed at Xu Zhiyang's wrist with a knife, and when he loosened his grip, he retracted the dagger. "This is too dangerous. If he doesn't come out, you will die!"
"I'll recover quickly, I'll be fine."
Zhu Ci said firmly, "The poison in your body hasn't completely subsided yet. You can't take any more risks!"
Xu Zhiyang suddenly seemed to have returned to his previous life, and Zhu Ci once again drove him away.
"You're like this again! So arbitrary! Why do you always ask me to leave? Why…"
Why can't I fight alongside you...
Before he could finish his words, Xu Zhiyang suddenly realized that he had been reborn. He was not the Xu Zhiyang of his previous life, and Zhu Ci was not the wind-powered person of his previous life.
Zhu Ci was confused for a moment, his head tingling for a split second, but then he returned to normal. "Li Huiyin, keep an eye on Xu Zhiyang. Remember what I said, if he doesn't come back by dawn, leave immediately!"
Li Huiyin couldn't get a word in. She wanted to persuade him but didn't know what to say. "Okay, don't worry, we'll be waiting for you, big brother."
Xu Zhiyang suppressed the taste of rust in his mouth, knowing that Zhu Ci had made up his mind. He said nothing more, but walked to Zhu Ci, put his palm on Zhu Ci's arm, and gave all his last wood energy to Zhu Ci.
Zhu Ci knew what he meant and did not refuse. After a few seconds, he accepted all the energy and whispered, "Xu Zhiyang, take care." After that, Zhu Ci turned around resolutely and ran back the way he came.
"Yangbao." Li Huiyin called Xu Zhiyang by his nickname. Seeing him standing there with his head down, her emotions unclear, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Qin Shiyu comforted him: "Second brother, eldest brother and Brother Mu will come back, you have to believe him."
"I'm fine." Xu Zhiyang pulled the corners of his mouth stiffly, turned around and walked to sit next to Momo, "I'll treat your injuries later."
Momo licked his blood-stained hind legs, whimpered softly, then lay down and waited quietly.
.
The sky was turning pale. Xu Zhiyang leaned against Momo and looked up at the sky. He could see an orange-red color in the east.
"The sun is rising." Li Huiyin sighed softly, "Yangbao, no matter what time, you still have me and Brother Han in the imperial capital."
Xu Zhiyang murmured, "Will he come back?"
"Yes, I will."
"Brother, sister, it's time for us to set off." Qin Shiyu kept looking in the direction of escape without making any movement.
Even if you don't want to think about it, Zhu Ci and Mu Ke are likely to be in great danger.
There are hundreds of people in the Six Gods Gang, and as many as a hundred of them are evolvers and psychics. Even Qin Shiyu doesn't dare to calculate the chances of the two of them escaping unscathed.
Xu Zhiyang slowly stood up. The poison injected into his body was only just cleared out, and his energy had recovered less than half.
He covered Momo's injured area with his palm and used his own five elements energy to repair the wound. Fortunately, the bones were not injured.
After a few minutes, Xu Zhiyang moved his hand away.
Momo moved his legs and found that it didn't hurt anymore, so he jumped up suddenly and ran around Xu Zhiyang excitedly.
Xu Zhiyang said calmly, "You guys go."
Li Huiyin's smile froze and she turned to look at him, "What did you say?!"
Qin Shiyu was not surprised. "Second brother, do you want to go back and find them alone?"
"Yeah." Xu Zhiyang tightly gripped the gun with Zhuci's name engraved on it, "I'll go back and look for them."
Li Huiyin grabbed Xu Zhiyang, "I'm with you!"
Qin Shiyu: "Second brother, your energy hasn't fully recovered yet. If you go there, you'll be walking into a trap!"
Xu Zhiyang didn't care: "It's okay, I have a way to force Ah Yang out."
Li Huiyin saw that he kept his eyes downcast with empty eyes, and suddenly felt that this look was very familiar.
Her shoulders trembled, tears welling up in her eyes. "Why are you like this again? On the first day of the new year, my uncle and aunt passed away... You suddenly ignored me and became distant from me... That was when you were like this."
"Like a soulless puppet, you're lost in thought all day long. I've been with you from junior high to high school, and we've always been in the same class, but sometimes you even forget my name... Xu Zhiyang, you're so heartless, aren't you?"
Li Huiyin choked up: "Why did you abandon the people who cared about you? Zhu Ci is probably dead..."
Xu Zhiyang felt a dull pain in his heart, and the pain spread throughout his limbs. The thought of Zhu Ci's death was simply unacceptable to him.
"I'm sorry... I..."
Xu Zhiyang took a breath with difficulty. "I went to find Zhu Ci, not for myself, but because he...can't die."
Li Huiyin was crying, so Xu Zhiyang raised her hand and gently wiped her tears with her sleeve. "I'm sorry for alienating you before. If I have the chance in the future, I will make amends to you."
Qin Shiyu knew that Xu Zhiyang had made up his mind. He gritted his teeth and took a step forward: "Second brother, we will go back with you. Wang Xiangcheng will not kill my eldest brother and the others. If we go together, I can help you find a solution."
"You have your own mission." Xu Zhiyang squatted down and rubbed the child's cheek. "Although you don't want to say it, I know it's very important. You must go to the imperial capital and go with Sister Huiyin. She can protect you."
The sky was completely bright. Qin Shiyu looked at Xu Zhiyang with complicated feelings for a moment, then looked at the road again without any hope, but suddenly opened his eyes wide.
Qin Shiyu pointed behind Xu Zhiyang in disbelief, "Brother... Brother Mu..."
Xu Zhiyang quickly turned around to look over.
"They're back! They're back!" Li Huiyin burst into tears, "That's great... They're back..."
Xu Zhiyang looked at the two people in the distance in shock. They were supporting each other, their bodies were in tatters, and they were limping as they walked.
Xu Zhiyang suppressed the heat in his eyes, suddenly laughed, and ran quickly towards Zhu Ci.
Seeing this, Mu Ke took back his arm from Zhu Ci's shoulder and said, "I'm looking for you."
Zhu Ci's mouth corners rose uncontrollably, and he opened his arms to Xu Zhiyang who was getting closer and closer.
The next second, Xu Zhiyang threw herself into his arms like a little skylark.
