The little boy scratched his head and seemed a little shy.
But under Ye Chen's curious eyes, he still said a little shyly: "You helped me, so you were surrounded by those people. I can't harm you!"
Ye Chen stopped talking.
Although he had already guessed the little boy's intention of standing up, hearing it with his own ears and the timid but persistent innocent look on the other person's face made him feel warm in his heart.
Although this world is too cruel to tolerate any amount of innocence, at this moment, he felt a trace of rare beauty in this inconspicuous young man.
Of course, this kind of thought only passed away briefly.
Thinking of the purpose of their coming here and the situation they faced, he asked again: "Where are you going to go next?"
"I have no idea!"
The young man shook his head in confusion.
But then, he seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly took a few steps back, looking at Ye Chen in shock, "You, are you not from the Moon Worshiping Empire?"
Ye Chen frowned slightly.
Just now he was only talking to the little boy, but he had forgotten that his accent was very different from that of people from the Moon Worshiping Empire. When he spoke now, the little boy would be able to tell the difference immediately.
"What would you do if I said yes?"
Ye Chen asked back.
"I have to go now!"
The little boy backed away step by step, with a look of fear on his face, "Will you kill me?"
Ye Chen smiled bitterly and said: "Of course I won't kill you, but if you go back to Moji City, will they let you go?"
"this……"
The little boy paused.
Although he is only in his teens and his thinking is still a little simple, he is also aware of the consequences of returning to Moji City at this moment.
It was because he stole two sesame seed cakes that he caused this series of troubles.
Especially just now, these foreign warriors also killed several people from the Snake Skin Gang. If he goes back just now, how can the Snake Skin Gang let him go?
"You come with us!"
At this time, Jin Lin came out and stretched out a hand to the little boy, "We are going to another place. We can take you to a brand new place!"
"But where can I go?"
The little boy was still very resistant.
To be precise, be vigilant.
"Which country are you from, and why are you here in our Moon Worshiping Empire?"
"May I have your name?"
Jin Lin walked up to the little boy and asked softly: "No matter where we come from, since we saved you, we will naturally not harm you!"
"But they all say that people outside the Moon Worshiping Empire are not good people. If you find out, you must report it immediately, otherwise you will be spurned by all the compatriots in the Moon Worshiping Empire. I don't want to be spurned by my compatriots!"
The little boy was still a little reluctant.
Although the words are full of innocence, they also reflect the Moon Worshiping Empire's deep-rooted rejection of other empire residents.
"Stop talking nonsense to him, just knock him out and take him away!"
Li Fengyu became a little impatient and urged: "If we delay any longer, when the warriors from the Snake Skin Gang come after us, I'm afraid there will be more trouble..."
Before the word "annoying" could be uttered, it stopped abruptly.
Because when she was saying this, several streaks of light had appeared in the sky above Moji City, and they were still flying quickly towards their location.
"I'm really afraid of what will happen!"
Li Fengyu cursed in a low voice, looked around again, pointed to a hidden corner and said, "Let's take shelter here for the time being. Let's leave after they pass by!"
As she spoke, she immediately dashed away there.
Others followed suit.
Only Jin Lin and Ye Chen were still standing where they were.
"Don't come over here!"
The little boy seemed to have heard what Li Fengyu said just now. Before Jin Lin and Ye Chen made any move, he stepped back vigilantly.
"It's too late, let's avoid it first!"
Ye Chen didn't force it. Seeing those streaks of light getting closer and closer, he had no choice but to urge Jin Lin.
"All right!"
Jinlin nodded, and swept under the dense tree not far away with Ye Chen.
There is a lush branch at the bottom of the tree, hidden there, where it can be hidden from the sight of the sky on a good day.
And the little boy, instead of hiding behind him, ran towards Moji City.
Because he didn't deliberately avoid it, he was discovered by several warriors above the emperor level flying in the sky before he ran very far.
"over there!"
"It should be this kid!"
While he was talking, several figures descended from the sky and blocked the little boy's path.
"Tell me, where were those people just now?"
One of the warriors was suspended several meters high in the sky, looking down at the frightened little boy, and asked in an irresistible tone.
"me……"
The little boy hesitated, his face full of struggle.
"You won't tell?"
The warrior's face darkened, and with a wave of his hand, a long whip appeared out of thin air in his hand.
Without saying a word, he whipped it towards the little boy.
"Snapped!"
Although no spiritual power was used, the little boy's skin was still torn open with a casual swipe, and there was a bloody mark on his back that was as deep as the bone.
"ah!"
The little boy let out a shrill scream, his body convulsed violently, and his childish face was distorted by pain.
"If you don't tell me, I'll whip you again and again until all the skin and flesh fall off your body!"
As he spoke, the warrior whipped out another whip.
"Snapped!"
There was a crisp sound, and a bloody scar appeared on the little boy's back again.
Although he was curled up on the ground and convulsing violently in pain, the hesitation in his eyes actually became more determined because of this.
"I, I don't know!"
He shook his head hard.
"Huh, I won't shed tears until I see the coffin!"
The warrior was furious, "Let's see how long you can keep your words!"
As he spoke, he swung the whip again and struck the little boy hard.
However……
"call out!"
"puff!"
Before the long whip could hit the little boy this time, a cold light suddenly hit him. Before the warrior holding the long whip could react, the cold light penetrated his throat.
"There's a sneak attack!"
"Everyone, be careful!"
The few remaining people became vigilant as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
At the same time, they also activated the spiritual shield one after another.
However……
"Puff puff!"
No matter how strong their spiritual shield's defense was, it was as fragile as bubbles in front of that sharp cold light.
In just the blink of an eye, the cold light penetrated the protective shields of several emperor-level warriors and penetrated their throats.
"Okay, so strong!"
Several warriors looked horrified.
But no matter how tightly they covered their throats, they couldn't stop the blood from gushing from the wounds.
"Crack!"
The next moment, the bodies of several people fell from the sky several meters high one after another. After struggling on the ground for a few times, their vitality quickly disappeared.
"This this……"
The little boy ignored the pain and rolled back, his eyes filled with indescribable horror.
Although he had been wandering on the streets since he was a child, this was the first time he saw someone die in front of him.
This strong psychological impact simply made him completely confused.
