Chapter 69: Unexpected Event

  Early in the morning, when the crisp bird calls sounded beside her ears, Wu Yeru hummed softly and woke up from her sleep.

  "Wow!"

  Slowly exhaling a mouthful of turbid air, white mist stretched out straight for two zhang, and then Wu Ye Yu slowly retracted his power. Turning his head to look, the big black dog that should have been waiting beside him had vanished without a trace.

  "This cheap dog, what's it doing again." Muttering to himself in a low voice, Wu Yeyu crawled out of his sleeping bag, his half-long hair already wet and his clothes somewhat damp, sticking uncomfortably to his body.

  "The humidity in this forest is really high, if it were before, I would have been miserable to death." Wu Ye Yu's mind moved slightly, and the water vapor on his clothes was instantly squeezed out by an invisible force, and the dry comfort returned to his body. He nodded satisfactorily.

  "Tsk, tsk! Kid, your water control skills may not be very powerful, but they're actually quite useful. " Wu Zongyue suddenly appeared from who-knows-where, his clothes were all wet, and water droplets kept dripping down from his hair, he was holding a dead snake in his hand, saying, "Come on! Help your old man out with this sticky mess too."

  The voice was not loud, but it startled Wu Yeru for a moment. After reacting, he rolled his eyes and didn't bother to argue with him. He raised his hand slightly, and the water vapor on Wu Zongyue's body slowly floated out, turned into water droplets, and finally merged into a ball, which was thrown aside by Wu Yeru.

  Wu Zongyue's body moved slightly, feeling that his body was already quite dry, so he hummed a little tune contentedly and turned to pack up his things.

  Wu Ye Yu stretched his neck and limbs, then started practicing boxing. This martial art has a saying that if you don't move forward, you'll fall behind. What's more, if compared to others, slow progress means falling behind. Therefore, diligent practice is extremely necessary. Moreover, Wu Ye Yu himself had an unparalleled advantage, with no shortage of cultivation resources, so he should work even harder at his training.

  An hour later, the guards had already prepared the meal, and the big black dog didn't know when it started squatting by the bonfire, sticking out its long tongue with saliva all over, sniffing constantly, staring intently at the pot of bone soup and stewed meat that had been cooking for a long time, as if it was eager to devour them. Wu Yeru finished his work and saw this scene, his mouth slightly curved up, tidied himself up a bit, and walked towards that direction.

  Soon, a guard brought over a large bowl of meat soup. After taking a small sip, he found the flavor to be not bad, so he took out a meat bun and started eating. The big black dog next to him barked at Wu Ye Yu "Wang Wang!"

  She chuckled and casually tossed two meat buns over, asking Wu Zongyue who was sitting on the side eating, "What's our schedule like today? Won't it be as boring as the past few days?"

  "Bored? Hmph! You really don't know the height of heaven and earth. Yesterday, you almost died, if not for your good luck, I would have had to offer sacrifices for you by this time next year. And yet you're still bored?" Wu Zongyue rolled his eyes, causing the surrounding crowd to burst into laughter. He tossed a bone with some meat on it to the big black dog and continued speaking.

  "From today onwards, this road won't be so peaceful. Following our route, continuing to walk into the demon beast forest for half a day, we'll arrive at a hilly area. There are many rocks there, it's considered a dangerous place, and a red-tailed snake often lurks around, it's a second-level demon beast, its venom is very potent. I remember last time when I came here, one of my brothers was bitten by it, unfortunately because the treatment was delayed, he lost his life. The rocks there have many crevices, that snake is also very cunning, at that time we didn't catch it, don't know what our luck will be like this time."

  Wu Zongyue finished speaking, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes and disappeared, seen by Wu Yeyu, guessing that he should take this opportunity to get rid of the snake.

  "Woof! Woof!" At this time, the big black dog finally got to eat its fill, lowering its head and chomping down on the food on the ground with a loud crunch. To my surprise, it was actually the thick alligator tail from before, which had been put to good use after all.

  "Hmm, everyone hurry up and eat! If anyone hasn't finished their food by the time Da Hei Gou is done eating, don't blame your brothers for not waiting for you!" Wu Zongyue finished his breakfast, wiped his face, saw that several guards were still slowly savoring their food, and loudly spoke up.

  "Hahaha......"

  The guards burst out laughing, then looked at each other, and several of them also knew that they were a bit slack at this time, their faces slightly red, after hearing the master's words, they quickly stuffed food into their mouths, apparently not wanting to fall behind, until in the end they ended up with a reputation worse than even the big black dog.

  Just then, a firework suddenly rose into the sky in the distance, moving quickly, and in the blink of an eye it had already appeared at the highest point in the sky before suddenly exploding, its color a bright red, even in the daytime it dyed that part of the sky a deep red.

  Wu Zongyue's face, originally full of smiles, stiffened slightly and turned serious.

  "Master! That's the distress signal of our Wu family! Something must have happened at home!" said the big-bearded guard sitting on the other side of Wu Zongyue, with a look of anxiety.

  Others at this time were also clear-eyed, putting down the bowls and chopsticks in their hands, looking at Wu Zongyue with a serious face, waiting for him to speak.

  Wu Ye Yu also naturally discovered that something was amiss. Since the big-bearded guard had already spoken, this was the Wu family's distress signal, so it must be a major event in the Wu family.

  "What big deal can the Wu family make at this time? The small families in the town, even if they want to deal with the Wu family, will absolutely not take action before confirming the death of the Wu family head. After all, Wu Zongyue is a Sword King-level expert, and it's only a matter of time for him to eliminate several suspicious families on his own. Wu Yeyu narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly, one hand holding her arm, the other hand stroking her chin back and forth, constantly thinking in her mind."

  "So, the timing of this attack on the Wu family is quite suspicious. It's definitely an outside force, and the most likely suspects are those people who came to cause trouble for the Wen family before. I suppose they're seeking revenge because of their heavy losses back then. However, since their losses were so great, it's unlikely that they would blame the Wu family directly. And this time, it's also unlikely that they would send a high-level expert... Hmm, but nothing is absolute in this world, sigh~" With these thoughts racing through his mind, Wu Ye's brow furrowed as he let out a soft sigh. He then quietly reached into his chest pocket and summoned the system to start searching for what he needed.

  Wu Zongyue's face sank at this time, and then his expression was somewhat unpredictable as he said: "Something has happened at home, obviously it is a big deal that the remaining guards cannot solve, otherwise they would not have sent out a distress signal. So I need to hurry over as soon as possible."

  He paused slightly, looked at Wu Ye Yu who was lowering his head, and then looked at the guards with a serious face, saying, "Your top priority right now is to protect the young master, and then hurry on the road, do you understand?"

  "Yes!" The guards responded immediately to Wu Zongyue's words without any hesitation, only a few people who had obviously thought that this unexpected event should not be so simple, with a slightly worried expression on their faces, but they did not say anything because they knew that what the master said was already the best solution at present.

  "Alright! You guys hurry up and pack, I'll head out first. I'm leaving my son in your care." Wu Zongyue made a fist at the crowd of guards, who quickly returned the gesture without saying a word, but their faces all showed determination, which was exactly what Wu Zongyue wanted to see at this moment. He nodded slightly and then headed towards his home, moving very quickly, disappearing into the distance in an instant, over 20 meters away.

  "Wait! I have something to say!" Wu Yeyu heard that Wu Zongyue was about to leave, so he hastily stepped forward a few steps and shouted, then chased after him.

  "What's wrong?" Wu Zongyue heard the voice and paused, turning his head to look at Wu Yeyu who was chasing after him, asking.

  Wu Yeyu reached into his clothes and pulled out three pills, tossing them to Wu Zongyue, saying: "Take these."

  Wu Zongyue's eyes lit up as he looked at the pill in his hand, with a questioning and expectant expression.

  "This is a healing pellet, not only can it immediately cure the injuries on your body, but also instantly restore all the energy inside your body. It's extremely precious and one of the most valuable medicinal pellets I've inherited. It should be useful to you." Wu Yeru finished speaking and continued to dig into his clothes, ignoring Wu Zongyue's shocked expression.

  He then took out two more elixirs and tossed them over, "These are Body Recovery Elixirs, eating one will restore your physical strength to its peak. I suppose you've been rushing back in such a hurry that your physical strength must be almost depleted. At this rate, even if you don't encounter any enemies, just the exhaustion alone might knock you out. So these should come in handy for you. Hmm, these things are extremely precious! They're also part of my inherited legacy..."

  Wu Zongyue's eyes sparkled with excitement as he thought to himself, "This son of mine is really thoughtful! Not only did he send over medicine for healing and recovering energy, but he even included two pills that can restore physical strength. With this, my chances of winning when I return are much higher. Hmm, as long as there aren't too many enemies at the time, it's definitely a sure win!"

  Thinking of this, Wu Zongyue's face was filled with a thousandth of expectation, looking towards Wu Yeyu.

  Wu Yeyu was taken aback and said: "What are you looking at? Hurry up and leave!"

  "What's wrong?" Wu Zongyue was also stunned and asked.

  "Ah, isn't this enough for you to use?" Wu Yeru said with a slanted gaze at the person in front of her who was taking advantage of the situation to ask for benefits.

  "This will do, I suppose. Hmm, by the way, do you still have that Introspect Dan you gave me last time? Can I have two more?" Wu Zongyue asked, tilting his head in thought as he spoke to Wu Yeru.

  "Didn't I give you some last time? You should still have some on you, shouldn't you?" Wu Yeyu said with a hint of curiosity and wariness.

  "Tsk! Last time it was just a few, I left them with your third brother and second sister for self-defense before going out. Hurry up! Give me another ten or eight of those, your old man is in a rush!" Wu Zongyue said with an impatient expression on his face, but his eyes showed a hint of expectation, clearly wanting to take advantage of the opportunity to extort more elixirs.

  "Take it!" Wu Ye Yu reached into his clothes and pulled out a bottle of low-grade Xuanxi Dan, tossing it over. "There are ten pills inside! Scram!" He didn't even look at Wu Zong Yue's old face again, turning around to head back.

  "Haha, okay! I'm off, old chap! You take care too!" Wu Zongyue's face was filled with satisfaction as he stepped on the air and disappeared into the dense foliage in the blink of an eye.
