C16 (1/2)

Sure enough, when Bai Mu and the others arrived at a certain house, the sounds of sharpening sabers could be heard. Through the house, one could see that the courtyard was in complete disarray. There were even bits of minced meat lying on the ground.

Looking at the house, there was an old man with a buzz cut who was ”focused” on sharpening his knife. At the side, there was a thirteen-year-old girl with a pigtail tied to a stool. Fear could be seen in her eyes.

”Brother Bai, it's Sister He!” Goudan'er quickly tugged on Bai Mu's sleeve. Seeing that the person he knew was about to be killed by his own Grandpa Jiang, Goudan'er became a little anxious and started to struggle, trying his best to save that Sister He.

”Shh, don't worry!” Bai Mu jumped down from the corner and placed Goudan'er on the ground. He instructed, ”Wait here. If I don't come out, you're not allowed to run around.”

Seeing Goudan'er nod his head, Bai Mu jumped onto the roof with a relieved expression and then landed in front of the girl.

Bai Mu knew that no matter what happened outside, the elders would never be stopped if they had just entered the sharpening stage. Thus, Bai Mu didn't hesitate to untie the rope the moment the girl cried out and jumped onto the roof with the girl.

”Sister He.” Seeing Bai Mu walking out with his men, Goudan'er hastily ran up to him and hugged him. Even Goudan'er, who rarely cried when he talked about his parents, started crying.

”Well, now is not the time to cry. Goudan'er, do you have any rooms with people living in them? The people that you've rescued must first find a place to live. ”

”Yes, there should be no one at Elder Wang's house.” Goudan'er quickly said. Then, he pulled on Sister He's hand and pointed at Bai Mu. ”Sister He, this is Brother Bai. If we follow Big Brother Bai, he will definitely be able to rescue us out. ”

The girl looked at Bai Mu and only shyly nodded her head. Then, she pulled Goudan'er and cried, ”Goudan'er, dad and mom are both dead. In the future, I'll be an orphan.”

”It's fine, Sister He. We will be together in the future. I believe that our parents hope that we can live a strong life.” Goudan'er's toughness left Bai Mu somewhat speechless. But now was clearly not the time to talk about this. He interrupted, ”I'll send you all to Elder Wang's home and then go save the others.”

Goudan'er led the way. Carrying Little He on his back, he headed towards the house at the foot of the mountain.

Mo Xin?

Bai Mu was on the way to his destination when he saw a white robe fluttering in the wind in front of him. After giving it some thought, Bai Mu immediately dashed over to the other side.

It really was him!

”Mo Xin, why are you here?” Bai Mu placed the two children on the ground and prepared to head over.

”Don't go forward!” Who knew that Mo Xin would extend his hand to stop Bai Mu?

”What's the matter with you?” It wasn't easy to see Mo Xin, but who knew he was here? Moreover, from the looks of it, he seemed to be in trouble.

”I might have entered the magical formation set up by someone else, and this magical formation seems to be trying to refine me.” At the beginning, he thought that he had encountered a trap set up by someone else, but who knew that it was set by someone else. Not only that, he could feel his strength being drained bit by bit.

”Formation? What is this? ” Bai Mu was somewhat anxious. He only wanted to enter the Nine Nether Maze City, so why would he encounter such a situation?

”I don't know how to explain it, but I suspect that there's a mastermind controlling it. And I just saw, in this village, almost no one is alive. ”

”No survivors? ”Then what about these two children?”

”Bai Mu, be careful of your back!”

Following Mo Xin's shout, Bai Mu subconsciously shifted to the right and recovered his wits. He saw two deep gashes on the ground where he had been standing.

Bai Mu patted his chest. If this claw were to land on him, even if he didn't die, he would at least be injured to the point of no return.

Bai Mu looked at the culprit; it was the two children he had just rescued.

At this moment, Goudan'er and Little He were no longer the same as before. Their heads were covered in a thick black fog, their mouths were pulled to the side, and their eyes shone with a green light like a cat's eye.

”Goudan'er!” Little He! ” Bai Mu shouted at Goudan'er, who was using his bloodthirsty eyes to stare at him. Seeing that Goudan'er wasn't paying attention to him, he called out to Little He as well, but still couldn't get a response. Instead, these two little bastards actually started to attack Bai Mu with their sharp fingernails, as if they wanted to cut open Bai Mu's stomach.

”Mo Xin, what's going on with these two children?” Bai Mu nimbly dodged the attack, carefully avoiding the jet-black nails of the two little kids. Who knew what kind of germs and corpse poison they carried on their nails.

”I don't know either.” Although Mo Xin had not been refined yet, he did not dare to easily resist. It was because of the resistance just now that he activated this formation.

”Mo Xin, I can guarantee that these two children aren't dead yet. The aura from them just now was clearly from someone alive.”
