Chapter 1285

"Mom, I'm afraid."

Four-year-old Zheng Xuanxuan cried.

Her clothes were stained with blood.

This beautiful little pink dress, which I begged my mother for three days to buy, was expensive, but it had been scratched and covered in dust during the previous escape.

There were several slender wounds on Zheng Xuanxuan's calf that were constantly oozing blood. They were so painful that they were numb. Her dry and cracked lips showed that the little girl was in a state of extreme hunger, thirst and fear.

She curled up in her mother Chu Jiuyi's arms, hugged her mother's neck tightly, and buried her little face in her mother's neck, full of fear.

The young mother Chu Jiuyi was equally embarrassed.

Her ankle was sprained, and there were several bruises on her back. She was injured by a collapsed rock when she was trying to protect her daughter while escaping. Several ribs were broken. Her vision went black and she couldn't run at all.

Chu Jiuyi could only hug his daughter and huddle in the corner of a half-collapsed house, hiding his traces.

Horrible memories passed by like a tidal wave.

Chu Jiuyi's husband is a celestial-level Xuanqi warrior and a soldier of the Daqian Empire. He died on the battlefield three years ago and was posthumously named a hussar general. For this reason, Chu Jiuyi was favored by the empire. Courtesy, she was posthumously named the noble lady, received a large pension, raised her children by herself, and lived a peaceful and peaceful life.

But an hour ago, disaster struck without warning.

When she felt the shaking of the earth, she saw with her own eyes in the yard that her parents-in-law were killed by a collapsed stone pillar before they could run out of the hall, and she watched the servants and guards running away in panic...

Happiness is shattered in an instant.

She rushed into the street, holding her daughter in her arms, and ran desperately through the crowd.

The entire capital was in chaos.

Everyone is running away, but they don’t know where to escape to survive.

Chu Jiuyi was lucky.

He was in danger several times during the run, but in the end he escaped in an instant.

But later, he was also hit and injured, and almost lost the ability to move.

So she had to take her daughter and hide, hoping to avoid this disaster.

The half-collapsed stone chamber was dimly lit and filled with dust.

She huddled in the corner, resisting the bursts of wounds and fractures. She used her body and arms to hold her daughter tightly, leaning against the cold stone wall, trying not to make a sound to avoid being beaten. Discover……

"It's okay here."

"It's the safest place..."

"Don't find us."

The young mother held her daughter and hid in the ruins, praying devoutly in her heart.

"Ha ha ha ha ha……"

In the distance outside, the metal monster-like God-King statue sneered with metal resonance, its eyes spewed death rays, and it was

Crazy destruction and killing.

Tall buildings keep falling down.

Countless people were deprived of their lives.

Flames and smoke filled the air...

Amidst the roars, some strong men from the Daqian Empire kept burning themselves and rushing towards the metal god king statue, hoping to stop this killing machine, even if it only destroyed a little bit...

But everyone's fate is similar.

die.

Instantly turned into ashes.

Without exception.

Chu Jiuyi didn't understand why the empire had surrendered to the God King's army, and the people in the city had already belonged to the God King's faith. Every household had a statue of the God King, but what they got in exchange was the God King's ruthless killing. …

"Mom, will someone come to protect us?"

Zheng Xuanxuan asked with tears in her eyes.

The four-year-old girl's petite body was trembling with fear. She lowered her voice and looked at her mother with big bright eyes with a hint of expectation.

Mom didn't know how to answer, so she could only say softly: "Xuanxuan, don't worry, mom will protect you, don't worry, mom won't leave you..."

"Mom, don't worry about Xuanxuan, just run away."

The little girl didn't know what she thought of, or what she realized. She suddenly held back tears, raised her dirty little face, and said seriously: "Xuanxuan can't run, it will drag you down."

The words have not yet finished.

Glimmer flickers.

Mutation occurs.

A figure suddenly emerged from the shadows in the room and appeared in the half-collapsed room.

He was wearing a blue hooded gown and a red cloud-patterned mask, with the hem of his robe trailing on the ground. He was as silent as a ghost coming from under a quiet spring, and there was no trace of a human being in his body.

Chu Jiuyi immediately covered his daughter's mouth to prevent her from making any sound, while he looked at her with vigilant eyes.

After noticing the presence of the mother and daughter in the collapsed room, the mysterious man took a look, froze slightly, measured his head slightly, and stared at them intently for more than ten breaths.

His eyes were strange.

Chu Jiuyi quickly said: "We... are not bad people, don't kill us... She is only four years old..."

The mysterious man said nothing.

After confirming that there was no threat to the mother and daughter, they looked away.

Under Chu Jiuyi's gaze, the mysterious man took out a half-meter-long black metal barrel from his arms. It was covered with strange talisman patterns. One end was as sharp as a spear tip, and the other end was a bulging round ball.

The mysterious man was calculating something sideways on the ground, and soon found a position that seemed to be very important. He pointed the tip of the black metal barrel at the ground and pressed hard.

The metal drum was inserted silently into the rocky ground.

The mysterious man squatted down and carefully used his fingers to turn the buttons on the black metal drum.

There was a faint clicking sound, as if some mechanism had been triggered.

The talisman pattern on the black metal barrel began to flash with a faint blue light.

It's like some magical power has been triggered.

After doing all this, the mysterious man turned around and walked outside.

Boom.

The ground shook violently.

Dust and rubble fell from the collapsed stone house.

"Ah, mother, I'm afraid... Xuanxuan is afraid."

The little girl couldn't help but let out a low scream.

The mysterious man paused and turned back to look at the mother and daughter again.

Chu Jiuyi thought it was his daughter's voice that had angered the mysterious man, so he quickly covered her mouth, signaling her not to speak, and at the same time cast a pleading look at the mysterious man...

The mysterious man spoke slowly, "What's her name?"

Chu Jiuyi hugged his daughter and shrank back, saying: "Xuanxuan, her name is Xuanxuan, sir, we..."

"If you don't leave, you will die if you stay here."

The mysterious man's voice was hoarse, as if two rough whetstones were rubbing against each other, with a trace of concern in the coldness.

When Chu Jiuyi heard these words, his eyes lit up, as if he was a desperate traveler who was about to be drowned by quicksand when he saw a vine stretching towards him.

"Sir, please save Xuanxuan, please take her away..."

She suddenly pushed her daughter, who was holding her tightly in her arms, in front of her and begged: "She is only four years old. She is still very young. She is not heavy at all and will not waste your energy... Sir, Please, she wants to live."

"No, mother, Xuanxuan wants to be with you, mother..."

The little girl subconsciously refused and tried hard to grab her mother's clothes.

The mysterious person stood quietly, seeming to be struggling with something. For a moment, she looked at the young mother and said, "What is your name?"

"I...little girl Chu Jiuyi."

Chu Jiuyi didn't know why, but he still answered truthfully.

Now the mysterious-looking man in front of her is her daughter's only hope for survival.

"Your... surname is also Chu."

The mysterious man sighed.

"Let's go, I'll take you away."

He seemed to have made a decision, and with a flip of his hand, a shadow enveloped the mother and daughter, and then the three of them disappeared together.

Click, click, click.

The black metal drum made a small sound.

It seemed like some kind of timer was counting down to the end.
