"Yanran, can we really find the Hedgehog?" A group of ancient styled soldiers were quietly walking by the river, led by a beautiful lady who was wearing a long palace dress and carrying a long sword on her back. Her facial features were pretty and slim, and her face was delicate and pretty without anger.
It was obvious that she was the leader of this group of people, and everyone followed her. The young man who spoke was tall and handsome, and wore luxurious clothing. He walked in the second place with eyes full of love and adoration looking at the woman from time to time.
Tonight was the full moon night, and it was when the Hedgehog appeared. It was also the full moon night, so every hundred years, the Hedgehog would appear to hunt for food, and every hundred years, it would only have a single chance tonight. Normally, it would hide in the depths of the ocean and sleep for a thousand meters.
Compared to them, humans were practically like the heavens and the earth. It was said that the adult Hedgehog s were at least at the peak of the Longwu Realm, and could even break through the true astral realm. Their strength was powerful and mighty, and they were famous even in the Nevernever.
"What is it? Could it be that Zhang Haoran is scared? " One of the women in the squad sneered, "If you're afraid, then go back. I'll just go with the princess. You guys really are cowards and can't be relied on even if you're afraid of death."
Zhang Haoran's face flushed red, he almost pulled out his sword and fought with her. Their Zhang Family was the strongest power in the Vermilion Bird Tribe, and there were even a few clan leaders who were part of the Zhang Family. No matter what, he had Longwu Realm, and now that he was being looked down upon by a woman, how could he endure?
If it wasn't for Na Nan and Yanran protecting you, your tongue would have been cut off long ago.
"Enough, stop quarreling, Piao Hong, Piao Xue, take out the bait, I don't believe that the Hedgehog won't take the bait." The woman's face was cold, her voice was cold, and there was not a single trace of emotion on her face.
After she finished speaking, two girls immediately walked out. The things they were carrying seemed to be something like sika deer, with horns on their heads. Wu Chen could smell a fragrant aroma from afar, making him feel extremely comfortable.
After they threw their things into the river, they waited quietly by the river without even daring to breathe. Soon, the sika deer sank into the water, and the surface of the water only bubbled out for a moment before no news came.
"Could it be that it's not coming out anymore, or that it's already full and needs to sleep?" One of the members said.
Nalan Yanran did not say anything, but she was extremely nervous. Her father was the Vermillion Bird Tribe's Patriarch, but a few days ago, he had been injured by a true astral realm Ranker, and now, his life was at stake. She heard that the Hedgehog's Blood Corpse Healing Medicine could treat wounds no matter how heavy they were.
In order to save her dying father, she ignored all obstructions and insisted on heading to the hiding place of the Hedgehog. She used the legendary Hedgehog's favorite food, the musk deer, to bait it into the bait, and then took the blood to treat her father.
Tonight just happened to be a hundred years old, and it was already time for it. Furthermore, the full moon was in the sky, so she hoped that her prayers would work, that she could smoothly kill the Hedgehog and take the blood to treat her father.
"Princess, look …" Everyone turned to look, only to see the calm surface of the lake suddenly inflating with white bubbles, the water in the lake started boiling, and suddenly there was a loud and intense explosion. A beast that looked like a hedgehog, the beast that Wu Chen had seen earlier in the day, flew out of the water, straight towards everyone.
"Be careful!" Nalan Yanran bellowed, she took out the autumn water treasure sword in her hand, her entire body floating in mid air, her sword releasing a cold light, suddenly, the sword in her hand became extremely big, like an iron tower, it formed a gigantic sword, releasing a cold killing intent under the white moonlight.
The hedgehog seemed to not have reacted in time, and by the time it had reacted, it was already too late. It had been directly struck by the sword, and its head was concave. It actually fell into the river without making a sound.
"Don't let it get away." Nalan Yanran shouted, her figure drawing a beautiful arc in the air, grabbing the Hedgehog before it could fall into the water. Seeing that it was about to reach its target, she heaved a sigh of relief in her heart, as long as she brought the Hedgehog back, her father would be saved, and the entire tribe would not fall into the hands of the Zhang Family.
Just as she was about to grab onto the Hedgehog, she suddenly felt a sharp pain from her waist, followed by her vision turning black. It was as though her strength was suddenly sucked out and she had no time to think about what just happened.
She barely managed to stand still, but she realized that her consciousness had already blurred. Apparently, she had just been severely injured, causing her to lose too much blood. When she clearly saw who the assailant was, although she had already guessed it, her heart was filled with anger.
In front of her, Zhang Haoran was holding a blood red sword and smiling at her. What made Nalan Yanran's eyes widen was that the guards who accompanied her, as well as the women who followed her, had all been killed by Zhang Haoran, and now, she had to face the six of them by himself.
"If you want to be good, then blame yourself for having to find some Hedgehog, so I had no choice but to kill you to bury the truth." Zhang Haoran shrugged, extending his tongue out to lick the blood on the tip of the sword, his expression sinister.
"It seems that you are the one who did the deed with my father. I have misjudged you. If you want to kill me, kill me as you please." Nalan Yanran said fiercely.
"I won't kill you. I will love you dearly." Zhang Haoran laughed out loud, as though he had done something great, "I will torture you slowly, don't worry, also, our Zhang Family will unite the Nevernever, and obtain the Nevernever Central."
"It seems like the ones who attacked my father were indeed in cahoots with you." Nalan Yanran had lost too much blood and her strength had already been used up. She could only close her eyes lightly as two streams of tears flowed down her beautiful face.
"Who is it …?" Zhang Haoran suddenly roared out, and then there was the sound of weapons clashing, causing Nalan Yanran's heart to tremble, when he opened his eyes, the six people leading Zhang Haoran's group were all decapitated, and were actually as dead as they were.
Opposite him stood a thin, smiling youth. He clapped his hands as if he had done something trivial.
"Alright, the annoying fly has been dealt with. Let me introduce myself, I am Wu Chen, may I ask what's going on at the Nevernever Center?"
Nalan Yanran's beautiful eyes opened wide, as though she couldn't believe what was happening, but what was happening was right in front of her. She heaved a sigh of relief, but suddenly lost all her strength, and her eyes blacked out and fell to the ground.
