Chapter 465: Going to Save the Birds (1/2)

Everyone understood the sadness of the expert who had lost his lover, but no one, apart from him, blamed it on Xue Wei.

They were told about the risks when they accepted the blood, and while they had not taken it too seriously, this was their own mistake.

Xue Wei looked at the unconscious person, who had been full of anger just moments before. He released some of his wood elemental Qi and gave him some vitality, which woke him up, but also helped to clear his mind.

”I am sorry,” he cried at Xue Wei, but he could not control his tears, and they streamed down his cheeks as he was reminded of the loss he had experienced.

He would never see her happy face again, her smile, and her touch. She was forever gone from his world, and he could not help but feel the loss that was gnawing away at his heart.

He knew that he could not blame it on Xue Wei, but it was easy to push all the blame away from himself, however, after regaining his sanity, he knew it was unfair of him.

He had to face up to what had happened. From the moment they entered the battlefield, they knew that the chances of both of them succeeding and surviving was relatively small. They were not that strong when compared to many others in the army, but this had also caused their thirst for strength to be greater.

Knowing full well that death was a risk, they still did everything in their power to be picked for the mutation, and the loss of her life could only be attributed to her lack of mental strength.

The mood in the ravine plummeted upon knowing that one of the people living here had died, and no one told them how her death had come about.

However, the depressed mood did not last long. Soon, someone noticed the experts who had mutated, their eyes almost popped from their eye sockets, and their hearts beat rapidly. How could someone gain so much strength so fast?

This turned into a new topic in the ravine, everyone tried to pry information out of the experts who had mutated, but no one told them about Xue Wei and his blood.

Like this, time flowed like water, and soon it was time for them to set off. Lei Jingshen had managed to succeed in reaching the Emperor rank, and he was so ecstatic that he also treated Xue Wei like his ancestor. He knew how to be grateful.

The entourage packed up everything they had in the ravine and set out like a snake that moved through the landscape. Everyone they encountered on their path hid away in their houses, and the army had no intention of attacking the small villages they came across.

Their aim was a provincial capital where the experts of the Vermilion Bird Clan were being held captive.
