Chapter 707 - A future free from slavery (1/2)
In the dark and boundless wilderness, where there was no light or sound, suddenly, there were sounds of hurried footsteps, mixing with heavy breathing.
Based on the noise, it should be a girl; but her footsteps were very heavy, as if her legs were being filled with lead.
The girl seemed to have the ability to discern where the water ditch was, where the dead tree was, and where the obstacle was in the dark, so even when running, she still didn’t’ hit anything in the dark.
The person behind her was still dripping blood, just a lot less than before; but he was still lying motionless, and his body was as cold as a dead body.
Soon, the dark and endless wilderness became quiet again, and the girl’s heavy footsteps gradually disappeared into the darkness further away.
…
Not knowing how long the girl had been running, in the darkness, two more weak, exhausted voices appear intermittently.
“Old, Youling, ask, ask her, to put me, down, I, I can’t, run away like this!”
“It’s useless for you to go back, that’s a Yuan Tian stage four master.”
“Xiao, Hai, they… I can’t, run away alone, put me down.”
“You are already like this, you can’t do anything.”
“I, can’t… Old Youling, I can’t, let, let Xiaohai, and other people fight for me, while, I am, running away, I will never, never, do it. I’d rather, die with them, be with them!”
“If you don’t go back, they might still be alive. If you go back, they will never survive.”
“You, you don’t understand, that, grey, shadow man, will, will definitely, kill everyone.”
“Then you can’t go back even more, if you go back, their sacrifice will be worthless!”
“Old, old Youling, even if, I, I run away, where can I escape to? I can’t, defeat, a Yuan Tian, stage four, master. I will, die sooner, or later. I have been running, away for my whole life. I am tired. I want to, die with them.”
“Have you forgotten what Yu Xiaohai said to us? He said, why should he believe in a group of strangers and not believe in you? He said that he believes that you can give them a future. If you really want to do something for them, then survive this, and kill those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds later. Avenge them, and give them a future. ”
“There is, no, the future, I don’t know, where the future is.
…
“Old, old Youling, let me down.”
…
“Old, Youling, you Barstad, ask, her to put, me down!”
…
Finally, the voice almost trembled and begged, “Old, old, Youling, that man, is too, too strong, I know it clearly that, I can’t defeat it… Please, I am, begging you… I don’t want to, die alone… I am scared, to, be alone. . Old Youling, let me go, this is, my only chance…”
Cold tears flowed down his cheeks and fell on the girl’s tender neck. In the cold wind, she s.h.i.+vered and was accidentally tripped over. Then two people and a wisp of smoke plunged into one slimy smelly water “ditch”.
Exhausted and heavily injured, the hard fall made them pa.s.s out instantly. But before pa.s.sing out, the sad voice appeared again,
“I don’t want to… die like a stray dog…”
…
Not knowing how long it had pa.s.sed, Chu Yunsheng quietly opened his eyes, looking at the sky for a long time without moving.
After a long time, he wanted to move, so he used the broken arm to help him crawl on the slimy ground and climbed out of the “ditch”. Propped up by the sword, he sat up cross-legged and then stabbed the sword next to him. He then continued to sit there quietly without moving.
The cold winter wind blew across the ground, whistling past his cheek like a knife, solidifying the blood on it, and drying the tears in the corner of his eye.
He remained motionless.
After a long time, there was a rustling sound from behind him, and a wisp of smoke floated out.
“You’re awake?”
Chu Yunsheng did not look back, still quietly staring at the sky.
“I will wake up Aphro and ask her to carry you away from here as soon as possible.”
