Without lingering, the three people and the dog immediately set off.
The ghost leech mosquito, however, was still not discovered by Lü Shengyang.
Although the battle seemed complicated, it actually didn't last very long, at most less than ten minutes.
Wu You's head began to feel slightly dizzy, but he could still hold on.
Now that Yan Fengluo was no longer in the mountains, Lü Shengyang naturally didn't want to go any further.
He grabbed Ji Haoxuan and led Wu You along a secluded path, running out of the mountains.
One used agility and nimble movements, while the other used a running posture.
The mountain scenery was rapidly receding behind us.
Ji Haoxuan's curious gaze kept shifting back and forth between Wu You and Xiao Hei.
He had seen many large dogs, but he had never heard of one that could kill a martial arts master.
Could this dog be a monster?
The child's innocent thoughts wandered.
Wu You also kept a close eye on the old man and the child.
Seeing the little guy's eyes darting around like wheels, I asked him, somewhat amused.
"Little one, what are you thinking about?"
"Great hero, is your dog a monster? Does it eat people?" Ji Haoxuan asked the question he was concerned about directly.
Wu You didn't know how to explain: "Uh, no, I don't eat it either..."
Lu Shengyang was secretly astonished as he darted about.
He wasn't surprised by Xiao Hei, but by Wu You.
This young man can chat so casually.
It's important to know that the movements in lightness techniques are all done while holding one's breath.
Generally, you can only open your mouth once you've skimmed a certain distance to catch your breath.
How can a young man be so completely uninhibited?
Okay, now's not the time to think about that. Let's find a relatively safe place first.
However, even though it was just running like this, Wu You's head started to hurt as time went on.
We ran like that for about half an hour.
Ji Haoxuan was already finding it hard to bear being under Lü Shengyang's armpit.
"Mr. Lü, Mr. Lü, I feel unwell and need to rest."
“Yes, Grandpa Lu, the distance is already far enough. We changed our way once and crossed two streams. It will be difficult to follow the trail.”
Wu You silently gave Ji Haoxuan a thumbs up; he was almost at his breaking point too.
In fact, Lü Shengyang himself wasn't much better off.
He was already severely injured and had just gone through a fierce battle, so he was already barely holding on.
After rounding another bend at the foot of the mountain, Lü Shengyang stopped.
He exhaled a long breath of stale air.
“Alright, let’s camp out nearby tonight. We’re already close to the outer edge of Tianyun Mountain, quite far from the road we came by. From here, we should be able to leave the mountain and enter Bingzhou territory.”
...
The three of them found a small hollow on the back of the mountain.
Lu Shengyang swept a stone with his sleeve and then placed Ji Haoxuan on it.
Wu You silently deactivated his demon god powers and rubbed his somewhat heavy head.
He put down his backpack and went out to collect firewood.
The depression is backed by a mountain on one side, with a small rock ledge protruding above it, and several large trees on each side.
Moreover, the terrain is slightly higher than the surrounding area.
It can block the wind and rain, and the firelight cannot travel very far after it is lit.
Seeing Wu You busy with this and that, Lü Shengyang felt embarrassed to just wait around.
"Young hero, do you have a tinderbox?"
A tinderbox? Oh, I see, an ancient lighter, Wu You thought to himself.
"Yes, I'm planning to make a fire and roast myself."
The temperature in the mountains is a bit low now. Not only Wu You feels cold, but Ji Haoxuan's lips have also turned a little purple from the cold.
"Then I, Lü, will... cough cough cough... pfft..."
Lu Shengyang was fine until he suddenly coughed and spat out a little blood before he could finish his sentence.
"Elder Lü!" Ji Haoxuan stood up from the rock and helped Lü Shengyang up.
Wu You also put down some firewood he had just gathered: "Is the old man alright?"
Lü Shengyang waved his hand.
"It's alright, it's alright. Zuo Qianqiu's Little Cloud-Turning Palm is indeed powerful. Spitting out this mouthful of blood makes me feel much better. It took me a month to recover."
He then felt somewhat apologetic.
"However, I'm afraid I can't help you for the time being, young hero. I need to meditate for a while."
Ji Haoxuan shouted with joy upon hearing Lü Shengyang's words.
"I knew Elder Lü would be alright; the Pure Yang Qi Gong is the most resilient to be hit!"
"Cough cough cough..." Upon hearing this, Lü Shengyang couldn't help but cough again.
Wu You almost laughed: "It's alright, you should rest."
"I'll help, I'll help the hero gather firewood," Ji Haoxuan volunteered.
After Lü Shengyang nodded in agreement, he sat cross-legged and entered a state of internal energy cultivation.
While calling on the excited children to gather firewood, Wu You quietly asked some common-sense questions.
However, the child's answers to questions were scattered and unrelated, so Wu You could only get a general idea of what was going on.
After Wu You had gathered enough firewood for the night, another ten minutes or so had passed.
...
Lu Shengyang finally finished regulating his breathing and stabilized his injuries. He opened his eyes and saw Wu Youneng holding a strange little iron box next to the small firewood.
Ji Haoxuan watched from the side with the look of a curious child.
"Pat-pat-pat".
A flame emerged from the small iron box.
"It's on fire! It's on fire! It really does catch fire!" Ji Haoxuan exclaimed excitedly.
"Ahem~" Lu Shengyang coughed deliberately.
Although I was also curious about the little tin box, there were more important things to do right now.
"Has Elder Lü finished circulating his internal energy?"
"Um."
Seeing that Wu You had taken good care of the flames and waited for the fire to stabilize.
After considering his words carefully, Lü Shengyang spoke again.
"The matter was urgent just now, and I haven't yet had the pleasure of asking your name, young hero."
There was nothing to hide, so Wu You gave the answer he had already prepared.
Based on previous observations, this world should be close to ancient China, but whether it's true time travel is unknown.
"My surname is Wu, and my given name is You. I have lived in seclusion in the mountains with my family for many years and have never been in contact with the outside world. This is my first time coming out."
"I was just about to ask Mr. Lü what year and month it is now, and what the situation is like in the world."
...
In a cave 150 miles away from the mountain valley where Wu You and his group were located.
Wearing a long robe and looking like a schoolteacher, Zuo Qianqiu opened his eyes after finishing his internal energy cultivation.
"Seven days have passed, they should have caught them by now."
After muttering to himself, Zuo Qianqiu closed his eyes again and began the next round of circulating his true energy.
Well, he didn't see the signal fireworks launched by the Black Guards at all from beginning to end.
If Gao Fan and Zhuo Xianfei, whose corpses might not even be cold yet, knew this in the afterlife, they would probably be so angry that they would die again.
