Chapter 66 Attacked
It was late at night, and the starry sky was dark, and the moonlight had dimmed a lot.

Chen Xuan had originally planned to call it a day, but now it was too late, so he ended up staying in the Star Dou Great Forest for the night.

He asked Zhu Zhuqing and Yiyi to have a good rest while he would be the one to keep watch.

The sky was dark, and the white moon was gradually covered by black clouds, making the entire world dim.

Chen Xuan sat beside the campfire, the swaying flames kept jumping. In the second half of the night, Zhu Zhuqing came and sat down beside him, and took the initiative to let him rest.

This surprised him. Dazhu Qing, who was usually cold and icy, seemed a little abnormal today.

Chen Xuan did not refuse. He had not slept for the whole day and felt a little tired, but he did not leave. He lay down beside the campfire and gradually fell asleep.

Zhu Zhuqing sat aside with her knees hugged. She turned her head slightly and looked at Chen Xuan's profile quietly, wondering what she was thinking.

……

When Chen Xuan opened his eyes again, it was almost noon. The sun was shining brightly, shining warmly on his face.

He slept very deeply and did not wake up until now.

"Brother, why do you like to sleep in so much?" Chen Yiyi got up very early and even had breakfast.

Zhu Zhuqing remained calm, glanced here and then looked away.

Chen Xuan simply ate some dry food and suggested leaving the Star Dou Forest.

"It's time to go back. I guess the Soul Master Competition has ended for many days now." He said casually.

Zhu Zhuqing's expression changed, but quickly returned to normal and she said nothing.

Next, Chen Xuan continued to carry Yi Yi on the road, while Zhu Zhuqing was beside him. Her speed was not behind him, and she even surpassed him.

They were on the outskirts of the Star Forest and were now returning along the original route, which was safer.

The trees on both sides of the road were constantly receding, and the scenery was blurry. The two of them walked very fast and covered half the distance in an hour.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Chen Xuan suddenly stopped in front of a huge open space.

In front of us is a 100-meter-long lawn. There are no towering trees or dense wild flowers and grasses. It is very empty.

It is rare to find such a place in a lush forest. To be precise, this is man-made. The big trees have been cut down and the stumps are left on the ground.

"This is... blood." Zhu Zhuqing's face changed slightly. In the open space in front, there was a pool of blood, and a large area of ​​grass was dyed red.

Chen Xuan's face was solemn. After putting Yi Yi down, he quickly crossed the open space and entered the woods. Then, he stopped where he was, with a hint of anger in his eyes.

Because here... there are corpses everywhere.

A total of ten people died tragically here. Some had their heads chopped off and their bodies separated. Some had their upper and lower bodies separated, as if they were cut in half by a sharp weapon. Some had a bloody hole blown in their chest, which was transparent from front to back.

These people died tragically, their deaths were so miserable that the tree bark and weeds were all covered in blood.

There was even a field of wild flowers that were originally white, but were watered with blood and became extremely bright red.

When Zhu Zhuqing came over and saw this bloody scene, she was stunned and covered her mouth. Her stomach was churning. It was too bloody.

Some people had their abdomens split open, with their intestines and internal organs spilling out onto the ground, looking extremely miserable.

Chen Xuan's face looked grim because he recognized these people. They were the people in the team of the young man with glasses.

However, there was no young man with glasses among these corpses, so it was hard to say that they had no connection with him.

Chen Xuan discovered a common feature in these ten people: their bodies had been robbed, and all their gold coins, valuables, and soul guide storage devices were gone.

He had read many books and knew the dark side of mercenary groups. This bloody incident was clearly a plot of killing people for treasure.

This kind of thing is so common that it happens almost every day.

Chen Xuan could almost conclude that it was the work of the Soul Emperor.

Gathering soul masters, luring them to the wilderness like the Star Dou Great Forest, and then brutally killing them, this method is truly brilliant.

"It's not a good place to stay for a long time, let's go."

Chen Xuan retreated decisively and left this bloody place.

"Brother, what happened ahead?" Chen Yiyi asked in confusion. Sister Zhuqing didn't let her follow. Chen Xuan said nothing happened, and then carried her on his back and continued on his way.

Seeing such a bloody scene, Zhu Zhuqing felt uncomfortable. Until now, her face was still a little pale and she hasn't recovered yet.

Chen Xuan felt the same way. He didn't feel very well. As a human being, he was so cruel to his fellow human beings. He was truly a devil.

The three of them didn't dare to go back along the same route, so they changed a route and took a long detour.

After walking two kilometers in a row, Chen Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and slowed down. Fortunately, the thing he was worried about did not happen.

In this way, the three of them moved forward, passing through one forest after another, and were about to reach the exit.

Chen Xuan's body suddenly tensed up and he felt an extreme pain between his eyebrows, as if being pressed by a sharp weapon.

He stopped suddenly, threw a kunai quickly, and pulled Zhu Zhuqing into his arms, all in one go and with quick movements.

boom!
A beam of light fell, and a huge explosion occurred on the spot, sweeping in all directions, and large tracts of trees were swallowed up by the energy storm.

A hundred meters away, Chen Xuan's figure appeared in the flashing golden light, biting the kunai in the air.

Now, he was holding Zhu Zhuqing in one hand and carrying Chen Yiyi on his back with the other.

He landed on top of a tree, and behind him, beams of light shot up into the sky and gusts of wind swept across, destroying a large area of ​​trees.

If it weren't for his excellent perception, he would have been seriously injured if not killed by the attack just now.

brush!
Just as Chen Xuan put the two people down, another beam of light shot out from a distance, larger than the previous one.

His face turned ugly and he was completely horrified. He and the attacker were simply not in the same league and he was not aware of where the attacker was.

Chen Xuan didn't care about anything else. He leaped forward and rushed towards the laser.

If it exploded here, Yiyi would definitely die given her physical condition.

"Brother, don't go!" Seeing this scene, Chen Yiyi was so anxious that tears came out.

Instead of retreating, Chen Xuan rushed towards the beam of light, obviously trying to protect them by using his physical body to block it.

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing was no longer indifferent. Her body stiffened as she looked at the man's selfless back, her eyes moistening involuntarily.

In fact, how could Chen Xuan, who values ​​his life so much, take such extreme measures?

brush!
The next moment, with a flash of golden light, Chen Xuan and the laser disappeared without a trace.

boom!
The mountains and forests shook. A hundred meters away, there was a bright light shooting into the sky. Trees were shattered, boulders collapsed, and air waves spread out in circles.

"What's going on?" In the dark, a bald man muttered to himself in shock.

On the top of the tree, looking at the explosion in the distance, Chen Yiyi was confused. What happened? Why was the laser diverted?

Zhu Zhuqing thought about it for a while, and soon figured it out. It should be the effect of Chen Xuan's strange soul skill.

After transferring the light beam away, Chen Xuan activated Flying Thunder God again, teleported back, and appeared in front of the two people.

"Brother, you scared me to death. I thought you were going to die. Don't do this again in the future." There were tears on Chen Yiyi's little face. She was really scared just now.

"Don't worry, I will be here until you get married." Chen Xuan assured. The situation was urgent and he had no time to explain in detail.

Then, he looked at Zhu Zhuqing and froze in a trance.

He rubbed his eyes a few times, thinking he had seen it wrong.

Chen Xuan was a little dazed. Dazhu Qing's eyes were red and a little moist. Did this mean... that she had just shed tears for him?

This is Zhu Zhuqing, the cold and beautiful goddess, like a cold iceberg. It's so abnormal.

Obviously, Zhu Zhuqing also noticed Chen Xuan's gaze.

Her face suddenly turned red, and she explained forcefully: "Don't think too much, I just had sand in my eyes."

clap clap clap!
At this time, applause rang out all around, and a burly man walked out from behind the stone.

"The relationship is so good."

This was a bald man, who was grinning and staring at Zhu Zhuqing and Chen Yiyi with an aggressive look in his eyes. He said with a lewd smile, "Boy, leave these two women behind and I can let you go."
