C1

Broken Cloud Peak, in a deep forest.

A teenager was riding a white wolf through the woods. He looked to be around 13 or 14 years old. He was good-looking, with long black hair. There was an anxious look in his eyes, as if he was worried about something.

Suddenly, a wolf howled. The white wolf that was running at full speed stopped in its tracks. The youth looked in shock and saw a cliff in front of him.

"Run, brat, why aren't you running anymore?" "Hahaha …"

At this moment, a burst of wild laughter rushed over like a roar. Looking ahead, three black-robed figures appeared not far behind the youth. The one who spoke just now was a black-robed man with a sword in his hand.

The youth looked at the black-cloaked man with the long sword. He spoke with gritted teeth, "Just who are you people? Why are you capturing me?"

The young man was slightly injured, but this did not affect his haughty attitude when he spoke. It was an aura of unwillingness to lose.

"Heh, why?"

The black cloaked man with the sword smiled sinisterly. "We are only here to collect money and do business. We don't know anything else …" "Moreover, you don't have the qualifications to know, haha …"

The youth was somewhat angry. "You …"

"Stop bullshitting with him, let's hurry up and finish what we need to do so that we won't have too much trouble in the future." Beside the man in black with the long sword, the man in black with the long blade urged him impatiently.

"Brother Lu is overthinking it. This is a desolate mountain and mountain range. Where can he escape to …"

The black robed man with the short axe was clearly interested. He slowly approached the youth. "Brat, if you call us grandpas three times, then we'll be happy. Maybe we can take care of you …"

The teenager gritted his teeth as he said unwillingly, "Pui! Even if I die, I will not fall into your hands. Little White, let's jump down! "

The white wolf looked at the cliff and hesitated for a moment. Then, it jumped and brought the young man down with it.

Seeing this, the three black-robed men thought to themselves, this isn't good. They immediately went up to take a look.

Looking at the thousand feet deep cliff, the three of them were filled with despair and unwillingness. It's over, it's all over. With such a high height, that kid probably won't be able to live any longer.

The long-blade black-cloaked man placed all the blame on the black-cloaked man with the sword. "It's your fault. I already said it earlier, don't waste your breath on him. How are you going to explain this to Master Lin when you get back! "

Hearing that, the black robed man with the long sword was slightly displeased. He wanted to argue, but was stopped by the black robed man with the short axe, "Alright, stop arguing. "I know there is a way to go down there. If this kid wants to see someone, then he wants to see his corpse!"

"You two, keep up!" After speaking, the black robed man with the short axe charged into the nearby woods. The sword and saber duo looked at each other but didn't continue arguing. They quickly followed.

"..."

Under the cliff, the youth and the white wolf fell into a lake. They were washed into a cave and lost consciousness.

The next day, the youth woke up from his coma and found himself at the end of the cave. In front of him was a large pool of water and behind him was a stone wall.

"Am I not dead?" "Where is this …"

The youth was both happy and worried. He was happy that he was lucky that he was lucky that he managed to stay alive even after jumping down the cliff. He was worried that he didn't know where he was nor did he fully recover.

After confirming that there was no danger, the youth woke the white wolf beside him and they swam towards a huge rock behind them.

After arriving at the huge rock, the youth sat down on the spot. The things that happened a few days ago were too strange, and he needed to think for a while to sort out his memories.

The young man's name was Yu Chen. He was fourteen years old this year.

He lived in a small town not far from the Broken Cloud Peak, and because of that, he came here to participate in the annual "Herbs Hunt".

He had originally planned to use this opportunity to search for rare medicinal herbs, but who would have thought that he would run into three mysterious people in black robes. For some reason, the man in black wanted to catch him the moment he saw him. Fortunately, he was smart enough to tame a white wolf in the mountain and escape from the three.

"Who exactly are those three people? Why are they capturing me for no reason?"

No matter how Yu Chen thought about it, he still couldn't understand. He was just an ordinary person, he didn't have any money or influence.

"Forget it, forget it. It's better to escape from this place right now." Yu Chen simply stopped thinking and looked around. If it wasn't water, then it was a stone wall. Besides the entrance, it was hard to find an exit.

Yu Chen turned his head around to look at the strange array diagram behind him.

He had noticed it when he woke up. In this place that was filled with water and stone walls, this formation was very out of place. At the very least, from his point of view, it looked like this.

"Could it be some kind of mechanism …"

Yu Chen looked at the array and muttered to himself. The array diagram was carved into the stone wall, so he couldn't see it clearly. He could only see that underneath the array diagram, there was a strange diagram that was connected directly to the center of the array diagram …

Just as Yu Chen was engrossed in the scene, a voice filled with killing intent came from behind him, "Who would've thought that you wouldn't die even after falling down such a high cliff? You sure are lucky, haha …"

This familiar, ear-piercing voice caused Yu Chen to turn his head in shock. He saw three black robed figures standing at the entrance of the cave. Suddenly, an eerie killing intent filled the entire cave.

Yu Chen subconsciously retreated, "You, how did you guys find this place!"

"Ho … Have you forgotten the strength of the three of us? Having reached this realm, discovering your aura is simply a piece of cake for us."

The black-cloaked man with the sword smiled and used his Qing Gong. He stepped on the water surface and arrived in front of Yu Chen.

The white wolf pounced towards the black-cloaked swordsman, but before its claws could reach the man's robes, the man had already thrust his sword into the water.

"Little White!"

The longsword accurately pierced the white wolf's heart and the surface of the water was immediately covered with blood. Yu Chen screamed in pain and immediately turned to look at the black robed man. His eyes were filled with anger and hatred.

"Don't be sad, dying to me should be its honor …"

The black-cloaked man with the sword smiled again. "It's better if you obediently follow us. Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite."

Yu Chen slowly retreated. Finally, he encountered a stone wall. At this moment, he was in despair. He knew that he wouldn't be able to escape.

"Don't worry, we won't do anything to you." The man in black was fiddling with the sword in his hand. The current Yu Chen was like a fat sheep that was being slaughtered by others. Whether he lived or died, everything was within his grasp.

"If I hadn't been taken away by you guys today, you would have died by my hands one day!"

It was unknown whether Yu Chen was showing off or comforting himself, but he seemed to have forgotten that he was already a prey caught by the hunters.

"I truly feel admiration for your courage. Unfortunately, you simply do not have that opportunity. "The last sentence, do you want to leave or not?"

The man in black looked at Yu Chen and questioned.

"Pui! Unless I die, this is absolutely impossible!" Yu Chen stared angrily at the black robed man, his eyes filled with determination.

"As you wish."

The black robed man didn't waste any more words. He brandished the sword in his hand and swept it across the ground. His momentum was like a hot knife through butter as he struck towards Yu Chen.

"Cough!" Unprepared, Yu Chen painfully spat out a mouthful of blood. Not only that, but the left side of his chest had also been pierced by the sword. Immediately, blood splashed out!

The man in black did not pay any attention to the sword. A little blood splashed onto the stone wall behind Yu Chen, forming a strange array diagram.

Yu Chen was almost unconscious. Upon seeing this, the black-cloaked man with the sword laughed out loud.

"Hahahahaha …"

The laughter was arrogant and filled with excitement, resounding within the karst cave.

Suddenly!

As the black-cloaked longsword laughed, the array diagram that had just been splashed with Yu Chen's blood began to strangely light up. Instantly, the stone wall cracked and water flowed!

"What's going on!"

The black robed man with the sword was clearly startled. The other two black-robed men were no exception. How could something like this happen?

"Who?" "Come out!"

The black-cloaked man with the short axe surveyed the surroundings. From his rich experience, he could tell that the appearance of this kind of phenomenon was either the appearance of a high-level magical beast or the appearance of an expert.

"Awoo, awoo, awoo ~ ~"

Very quickly, the surrounding stone walls all crumbled, turning into pieces of rock that fell into the water. Black Robe and the two others simultaneously turned to look. They saw a young wolf cub lying on the ground and yawning beside Yu Chen. The wolf cub was scarlet red and looked extremely lively and adorable.

"I thought it was some big shot, but it turns out to be a little bastard, how depressing."

The black-robed man seemed rather disappointed. He immediately brandished his hatchet, stepping across the water with lightning-fast speed and was about to kill that red wolf.

"Awoo.

Red Wolf did not try to dodge. Instead, he opened his mouth.

A stream of flames spewed out from the Red Wolf's mouth. The flames were very violent. The black-cloaked man with the short axe didn't expect that Red Wolf would have such a move. He wanted to defend himself with the axe, but was swallowed up by the flames in the end.

No ashes, no charred fragments.

Everything was so calm, as though the black-cloaked man with the short axe had never existed.

The remaining two black-robed men were completely dumbfounded. They did not dare to believe that their companions were like this … He was killed by a red wolf cub that was only the size of his head.

Not even a skeleton was left.

"Flee!" "Quick, run!"

The two of them almost simultaneously used their movement techniques to flee. The red wolf glanced at the two fleeing black robed men. A purple light flashed in its eyes.

"Awoo, awoo, awoo."

Red Wolf did not bother with the two longsword wielders. Instead, he turned around to look at Yu Chen who was lying on the ground. For some reason, he was especially sensitive to this young man.

Yu Chen also noticed that the red wolf was looking at him.

"This is bad …"
