Chapter 13 Enemy Attack

Although the lives of the disciples on the Seven Star Island were safe, it would take at least half a month for them to wake up. This sudden change made Ye Yunhao sense something unusual, and he decided to rush to Tianshui City at full speed.

They traveled day and night and shortened the journey by half, but people and horses would eventually get tired, so they had to stop to rest.

The sun sets in the west, the dense forest blocks the remaining sunlight, and the sky becomes dark.

Ye Yunhao and Shuang Bei were sitting on the cushions, warming themselves by the fire. A bonfire was burning brightly nearby, and the flames reflected on Shuang Bei's face, making his originally sickly features look more worldly.

The seat cushion was made of fine silk and cotton, soft and comfortable. Shuang Bei withdrew his gaze from Ye Yunhao. Although he did not know the other party's true identity, just from the other party's food, clothing and daily necessities, it was enough to tell that Ye Yunhao was either rich or noble. In addition, the other party could easily identify the disciples of the Seven Star Island and seemed to be very familiar with the distribution of power in the world. Shuang Bei could probably guess that Ye Yunhao was the young master of a sect in the world who traveled around the world.

However, Shen Yuqing had not taken the initiative to explore the distribution of various forces since coming to this world, so even if the other party gave his name, Shuang Bei had no way of knowing which sect the other party belonged to.

As the sound of footsteps approached, Abu came over with the dead hare in his hand.

Looking at Abu handling the hare in an unskilled manner, Shuangbei chuckled.

After hearing the laughter, Ye Yunhao and Abu both looked up at Shuang Bei, with the same confusion in their eyes.

Shuangbei chuckled and said, "I've been very grateful to Abu for taking good care of me these past few days. I was just surprised to find that Abu is four or five years younger than me."

Abu naturally heard the sarcasm in Shuangbei's words. He looked at the hare in his hand, and his ears felt slightly hot.

Ye Yunhao, who was standing by, couldn't help but marvel at the look of Abu. Abu grew up with him, and although he was younger than him, he always looked mature for his age. Now seeing the other party finally showing a slightly different expression, the smile in Ye Yunhao's eyes became more and more intense. He felt that he and Shuang Bei had more and more potential to be friends, just like they both loved to tease Abu.

Abu, who has been raising children since childhood: I can't laugh

Seeing that the rabbit was about to become strange, Shuangbei stretched out his hand in front of Abu and said softly, "Give it to me."

Looking at the miserable hare, Abu handed the dagger and the hare to Shuangbei in order to avoid being hungry tonight. Actually, Abu's cooking skills were okay, but there were seldom times when he needed to prepare the ingredients from scratch himself. If it were in the past, he and the young master would have stayed in the best inn nearby, but now, in order to hurry on their way, they chose to rest for a while in this wilderness.

Ye Yunhao watched Shuang Bei's skilled movements intently. When the hare was roasted to about 70% done, he saw Shuang Bei take out a bamboo tube about a finger long from his clothes.

Shuangbei sprinkled the seasoning in the bamboo tube on the barbecue, and after a while the enticing aroma wafted through the air.

Ye Yunhao couldn't help swallowing his saliva when he smelled the aroma of roasted rabbit. He looked at Shuang Bei standing beside him and sighed, "I didn't expect Brother Shuang Bei to bring seasoning with him."

Abu on the side also looked at Shuangbei thoughtfully, and seemed to be very interested in this seasoning.

Shuang Bei smiled. It was difficult to control the temperature of a makeshift fire outdoors, so he had to pay attention to the roasted rabbit in his hand at all times to prevent it from being burnt.

Ye Yunhao's eyes flickered slightly. He looked at Shuang Bei thoughtfully, and then asked, "Could it be that this seasoning was also given by your friend?"

Shuang Bei didn't know what he was thinking about, his eyes softened, he nodded and said, "He's a very good cook, but the steps to prepare the ingredients are too complicated, and he rarely cooks himself. The seasoning I just brought out was mixed according to the proportions he mentioned, but it always felt a lot worse."

Ye Yunhao remembered that he hadn't seen his friend for a long time, and he sighed for a moment. But it was no wonder that Brother Shuang Bei's movements were so skillful. He guessed that he often cooked for his friend. As for the taste of the seasoning, maybe it had always been the same, but with one person missing, it would always be a little different.

After seeing the roasted rabbit, Shen Yuqing blinked innocently without thinking much and directly exchanged it for barbecue seasoning from the store.

A few minutes later, Shuang Bei used a knife to cut two pieces of meat from the roasted rabbit and handed them to Ye Yunhao and Abu respectively. "I haven't roasted a rabbit for a long time. Try it and see if it's cooked."

Ye Yunhao and Abu took the rabbit meat. The roasted rabbit was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. After adding Shuangbei's seasoning, there was no smell of rabbit at all. Ye Yunhao licked his lips and said, "It's delicious."

Looking at Ye Yunhao's shining eyes, Shuang Bei divided the remaining rabbit meat. The surroundings were quiet, except for the occasional crackling of firewood and the sound of a few people swallowing.

Looking at the rabbit leg in his hand, Ye Yunhao's mouth was unconsciously drooling. Just as he was about to take a bite, a gust of wind blew by, and Ye Yunhao's head shifted to the right. At the same time, a dart with a cold light fixed the rabbit leg in his hand to the tree trunk behind him.

Shuangbei and Abu also stood up to dodge the oncoming darts. A group of men in black appeared in front of them out of nowhere, and the darts just now were thrown by them.

Ye Yunhao was still feeling sad about not getting to eat a single bite of the rabbit meat. He stared at the rabbit legs with dull eyes, as if he had received a severe blow.

The leading man wore a silver mask, and his eyes were as still as a pool of stagnant water. He nodded slightly, and the men in black behind him simultaneously drew out the curved knives from their waists and approached Ye Yunhao and the others.

Ye Yunhao put away his usual leisurely look. He picked up Yunyan and Abu, one on the left and one on the right, and stood in front of Shuangbei.

Shuang Bei looked at the two of them hesitantly. He seemed to understand what the other party had misunderstood. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Ye Yunhao's serious gaze.

"Don't worry, Brother Shuangbei. Abu and I will definitely protect you." As he said that, he rushed forward and entangled with the approaching man in black.

Each of Ye Yunhao's swords seemed to be as light as clouds, but in fact they knocked the man in black back again and again. Abu at the side also pulled out the soft whip wrapped around his waist, and the whip flew in the air like a dragon. After a few moves, the man in black actually showed signs of being defeated.

Seeing this, the masked man in the lead slowly pulled out a long sword from behind and slashed towards Ye Yunhao. Ye Yunhao's face was solemn. He raised his head to avoid the curved knife flying in front of him, then turned around and used the Yunyan in his hand to block the masked man's attack.

Feeling the masked man's undisguised murderous intent, Ye Yunhao's eyes darkened slightly, it seemed that the other party's target was him.

With the addition of the masked man, the situation began to reverse. Facing attacks from all sides, Ye Yunhao and Abu gradually felt a bit overwhelmed.

"careful."

Not only the black man's machete, the opponent is also very good at hidden weapons like darts. Abu saw a dart attacking Ye Yunhao from behind, he hurriedly spoke up and wanted to go over to help, but before he could take a step, the men in black surrounded him again.

A flash of sword light passed by, and the dart broke into two and fell to the ground. Although it was summer, the people around suddenly felt cold.

Everyone looked behind Ye Yunhao and saw that Shuang Bei was holding a silver-white long sword in his hand. The sword's aura was so cold that it looked like ice that had not melted for thousands of years.

"As expected of Frost!"

Ye Yunhao looked at the long sword in Shuangbei's hand. After feeling the sword intent coming from the frost, a bit of fighting spirit appeared in his eyes.

The masked man also shifted his gaze to Shuang Bei. Neither of them spoke, but the next second their figures were entangled together. As the swords in their hands collided again and again, the masked man covered his chest and took a few steps back.

A leaf slowly fell to the ground, and the sword in the masked man's hand seemed to emit faint light. Strong winds blew around, and mud and sand were blown into the air. The horses beside him also began to neigh as if they were frightened.

Frost North saw this strange sight and stood there with an unchanged expression until the long sword attacked him. Frost North took a step back, and his eyes, which were usually as gentle as jade, now contained a bit of piercing coldness.

After one sword strike, the masked man returned to his original position. The hand holding the sword trembled slightly, and blood dripped from his wrist to the ground. At the same time, the mask on his face was cut in half, revealing a red flower pattern on the left side of his face.

The masked man quickly covered his face and turned to flee into the woods. The remaining men in black stopped Ye Yunhao and a few others. After being captured, they bit the poison hidden in their mouths and crushed it.

"Young Master, they should be well-trained assassins." Abu said as he looked at the man in black who died from taking poison.

Ye Yunhao nodded. Just as he was about to say something else, he saw Shuang Bei spit out a mouthful of blood and his body slowly fell down like a kite with a broken string.

"Shuangbei!"

Ye Yunhao's face changed drastically. He quickly stepped forward to catch Shuang Bei. That day, when he fainted on the road, it was Abu who carried him to the carriage. Now that he fell into his arms, Ye Yunhao realized how thin his body was.

"I'm fine..."

Shuang Bei saw a panicked look on Ye Yunhao's face. He swallowed the blood in his mouth and wanted to comfort him, but he fell into a coma before he could finish his words.

Ye Yunhao's face was gloomy. Those people were obviously coming for him. He was the one who implicated Shuang Bei. He knew that Shuang Bei was weak. If it weren't for him, he would not have been able to use martial arts, and he would not have vomited blood and fell into a coma.

Now Ye Yunhao can only blame himself for all this. He talked about wandering around the world, but he couldn't even protect the people around him. Thinking of this, Ye Yunhao became more and more frustrated.

"Young Master..."

Abu didn't know how to persuade him. Thinking of Shuangbei's sword, he could still feel the chill. But seeing that the other party had fallen into coma again, he could only hold the whip tightly in his hand.

On the other side, Shen Yuqing, who was originally sitting behind the counter reading a comic book, smiled as if she was bathed in spring breeze as she looked at the game panel.

Li Fuchun, who was wiping the table, suddenly felt a chill on his back. He looked around, scratched his head, then suppressed the doubts in his eyes and continued wiping the table.

Under Shen Yuqing's smile, the game panel flashed guiltily for a few seconds.
