The Ghost of Fog
Chapters 153. Two Friends
It says for noon, it's still too early. But if you want to say morning, the sun has already risen high. It was at that time that Xiao Lian and Hao Yu left the village where he had been staying all night.
The village was very crowded when they came. There are a lot of warriors wandering here and there. As soon as Xiao Lian took the initiative to ask one of the tavern owners, the person replied.
"A few days ago, maybe about a week, the mayor's men clashed with Zhang's family. Turns out, the man had betrayed the mayor and intended to kidnap his wife and all her possessions."
This explanation left Xiao Lian and Hao Yu shocked to death. I wish the Zhang family had come here before and had gotten into a ruckus with the city leadership.
"But fortunately there was Miss Zhang's bodyguard. He said he was the one who stopped the abduction and he was also the one who was able to drive away the Mountain Destroyer and all his students. You must have seen it, no, near the gates of the houses many people are burning. Well, that was the result of the clash of the Zhang family with the mayor's forces with the Mountain Destroyer's Golok."
"Because the mayor was worried about the recurrence of this, then he asked for the help of many of these warriors" continued the shop owner who also ended his explanation.
As soon as these two people were already some distance away from the city gate, Xiao Lian sounded saying to open the chat.
"Alliances are getting more violent yes..really a troublemaker."
"true miss, if this continues, the white martial world could be in danger. Not to mention the matter of the No Appeal Demon who managed to kill the Dark God. Hah..no long time will surely come a great storm." said Hao Yu.
Suddenly, Xiao Lian looked sharply at Hao Yu. His cheeks scowled at the sign of his heart's annoyance. This of course made Hao Yu a little clumsy.
"Pardon Miss, I'm not used to such a call yet." replied nervously Hao Yu.
"How many times have I said, we are not bodyguards and employers, we are two best friends. Because you are older, call me by my name!!"
"E-uh...Miss.where can..."
"Name!! By name!!!" Xiao Lian glared and grunted.
"Well-well...The xiao's...Xiao Lian." Hao Yu finally relented. And to be honest, the call made him very awkward.
"Well, so new is delicious." replied Xiao Lian happily.
They went back on their journey. Continue to walk towards the South to the beach which is said to be a hermitage place of a sakti nicknamed Dewa Kipas.
Difficult journeys they often pass. Crossing the river, up and down the hill, out in the forest, or maybe once have to go down a steep cliff. But they continued to travel and never stopped.
"I must be able to pluck one or two knowledge from the Fan God..to catch up with this, to awaken the father, for Niu'er, for the Xiao family, for everyone!! I have to get stronger." Xiao Lian strengthened her resolve, her spirit constantly blazing.
...****************...
At dusk the next day, they stopped the vast meadow. There, besides being safer because they can see the enemy from a distance, also at night they will be able to see the view of the goddess of the night accompanied by thousands of stars very clearly.
Hao Yu started to light the bonfire, while Xiao Lian took out the dried breads that became their provisions. Not to forget he also brought out fresh water stored in a jug.
"The fire is ready" Hao Yu said.
Xiao Lian nodded and took out two dried twigs which she then stuck onto the dried bread. Then he brought the dried bread that had been pierced by the twig near the fire to heat it.
After a few minutes, even a very simple toast. Hao Yu and Xiao Lian quickly grabbed one of the loaves of bread and ate it voraciously.
"It's delicious, this milk bun is indeed amazing" Xiao Lian said.
"Don't overdo it like that, it's just plain bread that's a little moldy." in contrast to the radiant-looking Xiao Lian, Hao Yu looked at the bread with a frown. A little unhappy actually once he saw there were traces of mushrooms in his bread, but if he had not to eat, he would be even more unhappy.
"Although moldy, but I've burned this bread to dry. The mushroom should have disappeared enough." said the girl.
They continued eating without any more conversation. When they are finished, they realize that there is an oddity.
"You feel it?" Hao Yu whispered.
"Yes, I'm off guard" Xiao Lian replied.
"Beware, they are only lurking, not attacking." Hao Yu replied as he looked towards the forest that was still about fifty meters away from where they were sitting.
What makes them aware of the existence of these people? This happened because their eyes for a few seconds saw a sparkle of light within the forest. As a swordsman, they knew that the glittering light came from a sharp weapon belonging to someone who reflected the light of the twilight sun.
"We're getting out of here" said Hao Yu who began to rise to his feet.
With a gesture made as natural as possible so as not to arouse suspicion among the scouts, Hao Yu approached the fire and extinguished it. While Xiao Lian started packing their things. If it's like this, they really look like a couple.
"Alright Hao Yu, let's go" Xiao Lian said as she held onto Hao Yu's right arm, making the owner of the arm nervous. But looking at Xiao Lian's sharp eyes, he was silent.
"Berakting to be husband and wife so as not to cause prejudice from them. Maybe they already know my identity, cover my face with your body!!" the girl whispered.
They wanted that after leaving the place, the scouts began to attack. But after entering the forest, they did not come out yet. Though their purpose was to provoke a battle in the meadow so that they could be free.
"Danger.they move!" suddenly Hao Yu whispered with a tense face. Xiao Lian could sense that as well.
In the next instant, a shadow flashed behind Hao Yu's body and immediately a silvery ray grabbed onto his body.
"Trangs!!" Hao Yu who was already on guard and suspected this immediately pulled out the cleaver to fend off.
Not long after, in a row appeared eleven other shadows that immediately invaded them. So Hao Yu and Xiao Lian immediately played weapons to fend off every opponent's attack.
"Trang-Trang-Trang!!" the girl played her sword very well. As if dancing, he swerved to send a deadly attack to the dozen people. But easily they were able to stop it.
While Hao Yu, this one-armed man also played a cleaver very cleverly. His machete-ray scroll was always circling around the body, protecting every rain of weapons that came.
Up to a few minutes, the siege of the dozen people did not loosen at all and left Hao Yu and Xiao Lian trapped in the middle. They stood against each other's backs to look after each other.
"Who are you!!" snapped Hao Yu.
"I don't think that Xiao Lian, the Xiao family lady will have an affair with her own parents." said the besieger who managed to make the faces pale Hao Yu and Xiao Lian.
"It's a good thing we came, otherwise, I don't know what you're going to do in this forest" another person chuckled.
"Damn it, they already know our identity!" hao Yu in his heart.
"What do you want!!" this time Xiao Lian raised her voice.
"Capture you, miss, it's a good thing that the leader didn't tell you to kill you. So we can play a little, uh?" replied one of the men with a brash look.
"But for your bodyguard, it doesn't seem to matter if it's turned off. Although actually there is no need either." continued the man.
"Xiao Lian, how is this?" hao Yu whispered to the girl. He was probably used to the new call.
"Open the way to escape. There is no other choice" replied the girl.
Suddenly, a loud cry came from one of the besiegers. A second later, they all immediately attacked back.
"Let's run!!" exclaim that girl.
The two of them rampaged as hard as they could, turning their weapons to protect themselves, were glittering white rays that were always moving around the bodies of the two people. This defense is really strong, because in addition to protecting yourself, also to protect each other.
Secretly bothered also the braggarts to penetrate the defenses of these two Xiao people. So upset because he was unable to penetrate the defense from earlier, one of them cursed.
"Fuckers!! Give up if you want to live!!"
This is his fault. Since he was shouting loudly like that, there was automatically a small gap he did not notice. However it was enough for Hao Yu to realize that.
"Hiaaatt!!" Hao Yu screeched loudly and slashed his machete.
The person was shocked, cupping Hao Yu's machete with his own machete. But because he was a little weak, he staggered back.
"Come!!" Hao Yu exclaimed as he pulled Xiao Lian's wrist. They managed to escape the siege thanks to the fall of one of the brackets.
"Cursue!!" leader command ganged.
There was a cat in the forest. The shrewd Hao Yu deliberately ran in turns and slipped behind the lush trees and shrubs. Making those dozen people a little confused.
"Wah the abyss!!" Hao Yu looked forward.
"Jump!"
"Huh?"
"Some jump!! Come on!!" this time it was Xiao Lian who pulled Hao Yu to plunge into the abyss.
"You're crazy!!" there was a loud cry as the two human bodies slid downwards.
