C9 Frightened Soul

After arriving at the train station, Wu Tian didn't hesitate to board the bus from Lincang to Cangyuan County.

The distance from Lincang to Cangyuan County was not very far, but because of the rugged mountains, it would take a whole morning to reach there.

After a bumpy journey, they arrived at Cangyuan County, Yunnan Province, near dusk. This small town was almost isolated from the rest of the world.

Cangyuan County was truly a deserted city. Surrounded by mountains, there were some desolate hills and farmlands spread out on the mountainside.

Wu Tian got off the car and sighed. He suddenly didn't know what he should do. He didn't have any craftsmanship and he wasn't even an adult yet. Even if he wanted to find a job, no one would ask for him.

Wu Tian wandered around Cangyuan County in a daze. The lush and verdant forest surrounding him didn't give him the slightest bit of happiness, but more of it was filled with melancholy.

Unknowingly, Wu Tian gradually walked into a mountain forest halfway up the mountain. At this time, the sky had already gradually darkened.

Wu Tian felt a little tired, so he leaned against a big tree, wanting to rest. Just as he leaned against a big tree, a wave of sleepiness hit him, and the drowsy Wu Tian immediately fell asleep.

Right at this moment, a gust of cold wind blew past, suddenly a loud roar rushed over, the forest shook, Wu Tian was suddenly awakened, a gust of cold wind blew past the forest, following that, a gigantic beast opened its mouth wide and ran towards Wu Tian with incredible speed.

Wu Tian was scared silly. He got up and tried to dodge to the side. "Oh my god, this is a South China Tiger!"

Wu Tian had a certain understanding of animals, so he could naturally see that it was a South China Tiger.

When Hua Nan Hu's attack failed, he quickly readjusted his body and jumped towards Wu Tian. Wu Tian did not dare to fight head on with a tiger, let alone himself being so weak, even if he was several times stronger, it would be useless.

Wu Tian didn't dare to hesitate as he turned around and ran toward the woods. As he ran, he shouted, "Help!"

However, as Wu Tian ran with all his might, Hua Nanhu was getting closer and closer to him.

After running wildly for more than ten minutes, Wu Tian gradually began to feel that his legs were getting heavier and heavier. At this time, the hot air exhaled by Hua Nanhu could already reach Wu Tian's back.

At this time, Hua Nanhu leapt forward and knocked Wu Tian to the ground. Wu Tian's face was pressed down by Hua Nanhu's powerful claws and his clothes were torn, several scratches appearing on his back.

Wu Tian had given up all hope and closed his eyes. At this moment, the sound of something tearing through the air could be heard. A black light shot out explosively.

Wu Tian didn't feel any pain. He only felt a "peng" sound as something pressed down on him.

Wu Tian quickly opened his eyes and looked over his shoulder. He saw that there was an arrow on Hua Nanhu's neck, and it pierced through his neck, causing his warm blood to flow onto Wu Tian's body.

Wu Tian quickly broke free. At this moment, he saw a grey shirted old man holding a crossbow arrow in his hand as he looked at Wu Tian with a calm expression. The calmness in his eyes made Wu Tian feel as if killing a South China Tiger was a very common thing for him.

However, Wu Tian still respectfully said, "Thank you."

The old man looked at Wu Tian and a hoarse voice came from his neck, "From your accent, I can tell that you're not from here. What are you doing here?"

Wu Tian sighed and said, "I'm an outsider. I got lost here."

The old man carefully sized up Wu Tian's gaze before saying indifferently, "Young man, lying is not a good thing."

Wu Tian's entire body shuddered when he heard this. His eyes were filled with disbelief as he looked at the old man. In Wu Tian's eyes, the old man was becoming more and more unfathomable.

The old man continued to speak indifferently as he looked at Wu Tian, "I advise you to speak the truth. If you are someone who needs help, I might be able to help you. Of course, if you are an extremely vicious person, then I won't let any of you go."

At this point, the old man gripped the crossbow in his hand, and his eyes emitted a cold light.

Wu Tian couldn't help but shiver as he looked at the old man's calm eyes. Wu Tian suddenly had a feeling that this old man was righteous. Although his intuition told him that he couldn't easily trust anyone, he was helpless.

Wu Tian took a deep breath and said: "My name is Wu Tian, I'm from Hubei Province, I came here to escape."

"Escape? "What's going on?" The old man frowned. He naturally felt that what Wu Tian said wasn't that simple.

Wu Tian said indifferently, "My parents and sister were killed by someone. I fled to this desolate place with my last breath, so I got lost. If you believe me, then believe me. I can't do anything about it." As he spoke, Wu Tian had a look of calm on his face.

The old man stared into Wu Tian's eyes for a moment before saying, "I understand. Since you're here to escape, I'm afraid you don't have a place to go. Why don't you follow me?"
