The early morning sunlight penetrated through the dense leaves and shone on Ye Xiu's body.
Ye Xiu woke up from his sleep after running around for several days.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Ye Youruo, wearing a gray sportswear, holding a kettle, squatting on a nearby bush, pouring the dew on the leaves into the kettle.
This was already the seventh day since he and Ye Youruo escaped from Dragon Valley.
It's also the sixth day since I left the town.
Just a few hours after they left the town, Ye Xiu clearly felt that there were soldiers entering the mountain to search. Although he could not be sure whether the soldiers from the field troops came to search for him, Ye Xiu did not dare to risk contact.
With Ye Youruo, he continued to avoid the soldiers' searches.
But finally that night, he was discovered by a group of patrolling soldiers.
Fortunately, the soldiers in that group were just ordinary soldiers. Ye Xiu didn't waste much effort in getting rid of that group of soldiers, but their whereabouts were also completely exposed.
The next few days were spent on the run.
On the third day after leaving the town, he encountered Dragon Soul's pursuers.
Fortunately, although the Dragon Soul has many experts, they are still small in number and cannot gather tens of thousands like ordinary troops. With their strong strength, Ye Xiu breaks through the encirclement all the way.
However, the dry food they carried had already been eaten. In the past two days, all they ate were wild fruits and grass roots on the mountains, and all they drank was dew or some streams.
And there were many new injuries on his body.
"Sister, why don't you rest more?" Ye Xiu said with some distress when he saw Ye Youruo who was busy.
His physical fitness is far beyond that of ordinary people, but this continuous running is very tiring, but Ye Youruo has only an ordinary person's physique. Although she did not participate in the battle along the way, she fought hundreds of miles in a few days.
It was difficult for the special forces to persist, but she gritted her teeth and persisted.
"I've had enough rest. Come on, drink some water. You haven't rehydrated for a long time..." Ye Youruo handed Ye Xiu the small half bottle of water he had saved.
Ye Xiu looked at Ye Youruo. Her lips were dry for a while, and her face was extremely pale. The sweatshirt on her body was also in tatters, with large areas of skin exposed, and some places were scratched by thorns hanging in the mountains and forests, leaving bloodstains.
"I'm not thirsty, you can drink some first..." Ye Xiu sighed softly.
"Fool, we haven't completely gotten rid of the pursuers yet. You still need to fight with them. How can you protect me if you don't have the strength? Drink quickly..." Ye Youruo didn't allow Ye Xiu to refuse, and directly picked up the water bottle and handed it to Ye Xiu's mouth.
Ye Xiu had no choice but to pick up the kettle and take a few sips.
"You can also add a little bit..." Ye Xiu left a little bit behind and handed the kettle to Ye Youruo.
Ye Youruo was not polite and drank the only sip of water he had.
"This should be the Anling Mountains. As long as we cross this mountain range, we will reach Heilongjiang. After passing Heilongjiang, we will reach the territory of Tsarist Russia. Then we will be safe..." Ye Xiu looked at the sky and silently calculated his two goals.
He said to Ye Youruo about the route of people's escape.
He was not only encouraging Ye Youruo, but also encouraging himself.
"Well, we will definitely be able to leave here alive!" Ye Youruo nodded.
Her physical strength had actually reached its limit, but in order not to worry Ye Xiu or delay Ye Xiu's retreat, she kept gritting her teeth and persisting.
But how could all this be hidden from Ye Xiu's eyes?
I just wanted to rest for a while, but the sound of "swish..." came from the woods again.
Not to mention Ye Xiu, even Ye Youruo knew that the pursuers were coming.
"Let's go!" Pulling Ye Youruo up, Ye Xiu turned around and ran in the other direction.
Only this time, their luck was not good. After walking for more than half an hour, they stopped because there was another person in front of them, a middle-aged man wearing a black uniform with dragon patterns.
It was Xiao Feng who personally led the Dragon Soul members to pursue Ye Xiu.
"Ye Xiu, give up, you can't escape..." They looked at Ye Xiu who looked haggard and in a sorry state.
Xiao Feng sighed softly.
Although Ye Xiu used "Ning Yuan Powder" to murder him that day and rescued Ye Youruo under his eyes, making him bear the charge of dereliction of duty, deep down in his heart, he did not hate Ye Xiu at all.
In his opinion, Ye Xiu should have been Longteng's most promising young man.
He has a fortune and a bright future. If he is willing, he may take over the position of God of War in the future, but he gave up all this for a sister with whom he has no blood relationship.
Such a choice would be difficult for him to make even if it were him.
But Ye Xiu didn't hesitate at all. The deep brother-sister relationship between him and Ye Youruo had already deeply moved Xiao Feng.
If he hadn't been a soldier, and if he hadn't clearly understood the importance of Ye Youruo to the Sith Empire, he would have been unwilling to attack this young man who had such deep love and loyalty.
"Captain Xiao, you have been hit by the 'Ning Yuan Powder'. In less than a month, it will be difficult to completely eliminate the toxicity of the 'Ning Yuan Powder'. Taking action at this time will not do you any good..." Ye Xiu refused with a smile.
He accepted Xiao Feng's kindness and smiled softly.
"Ye Xiu, why are you doing this?" Xiao Feng didn't pay attention to the threat in Ye Xiu's words, and just sighed softly. He had already seen that Ye Xiu had no intention of compromising.
"Captain Xiao, you don't understand!" Ye Xiu also sighed softly.
He has also understood that Xiao Feng has made up his mind and will never let him and Ye Youruo leave, even if it means paying a huge price.
"Yeah, I really can't understand!" Xiao Feng sighed again.
He is a soldier. Because of his talent in martial arts, he was taken in by Dragon Soul since he was a child and has been growing up in Dragon Soul.
Eventually he became the ultimate master.
In this life, he has never married a wife or has any relatives. It is true that he cannot understand the relationship between Ye Xiu and Ye Youruo, but this does not prevent him from yearning for this kind of relationship.
But since he is a soldier, and a soldier's mission is to obey orders, no matter how much he admires Ye Xiu, he will do his best to keep them.
"I'm sorry, Ye Xiu..." Xiao Feng sighed, and the real energy in his body suddenly exploded. Just because of the 'Condensing Yuan Powder', the aura in his body was extremely unstable, sometimes reaching the end, and sometimes falling to the peak.
, and sometimes even only have the cultivation level of the Yuan realm.
But this didn't stop him from punching Ye Xiu with all his strength!
An invisible fist force instantly condensed and struck towards Ye Xiu!
"Captain Xiao, I have nothing to apologize for..." Feeling the violent punch, Ye Xiu chuckled, pulled Ye Youruo behind him with one hand, stepped forward with his whole body, and punched out with the same punch
