Chapter 2035 - 2036: Fang Xiaolian's Farewell
The two returned to the cave but did not see Xiaolian.They searched around for quite some time but still couldn't find any trace of Xiaolian.
"What's your plan?" Xia Xing asked Su Miaomiao.
"I'm planning to go back to the camp to rescue Uncle Guang, so today... we'll part ways!" Su Miaomiao said, taking a deep breath.
As for Lin Chen, he originally intended to look for Fang Xiaolian, but upon hearing that Su Miaomiao was heading back to the Azure Steel mercenary camp, his thoughts changed.
"You're going back to rescue him, alone?"
"Yes... it's just me."
"No, no, you're afraid you won't be able to defeat the captain of the mercenary group, right?"
Even though Lin Chen didn't know Shan Qiao from the Azure Steel mercenary group, he could tell from Zhang Han's strength that the opponent was no ordinary foe, and since Su Miaomiao couldn't even handle a blue-eyed red-toothed boar before, she certainly couldn't defeat the leader of the mercenary group.
"I can't beat him... but I must go. Uncle Guang raised me since I was little; I have no parents, he is like my father!" Su Miaomiao said emotionally.
Seeing Su Miaomiao so emotional, Lin Chen knew she really cared about Uncle Guang. However, Lin Chen also wanted to search for Fang Xiaolian, as she was alone in the dangerous beast mountain range.
In hesitation, Su Miaomiao decided to leave on her own.
"Don't go! Let's go together!"
Lin Chen quickly followed.
As they hurried back to the Azure Steel mercenary camp, Bo Guang was being displayed outside the camp, tied up by Shan Qiao.
"Your goddaughter committed such an evil deed, what do you have to say in your defense?" Shan Qiao said, holding a jade pendant Zhang Han always carried.
"Just grabbing a pendant and making accusations, Captain, this is really not like you! Bo Guang has followed you for so many years, everyone has seen his loyalty, but because of petty people's slanders, you doubt Bo Guang's remaining loyalty. Bo Guang has no words left, but he begs the captain to spare Miaomiao, so she can continue living." Bo Guang responded.
"Hmph, don't even think about it, you're all going to die! I'm just waiting for your insignificant goddaughter to come back so she can watch me slice you to death!" Shan Qiao used a remotely controlled golden longsword to cut off a piece of Bo Guang's skin.
"Ahhh!" Bo Guang screamed.
"Scream all you want! The louder you scream, the quicker your goddaughter will return! Hahaha!" Shan Qiao laughed maniacally.
Beneath the Black Cliff, Fang Xiaolian lay in a forest, slowly regaining consciousness.
"Ah!"
As she was about to stand up, some red fire ants bit her leg, causing her to quickly get up, feeling that her ribs were already broken in three or four places.
Moreover, because her left leg was bitten by fire ants, she could only limp forward.
She had only one thought in her mind.
"I must survive, I must get revenge! Lin Chen, just you wait!"
Meanwhile, as Su Miaomiao and Lin Chen rushed toward the Azure Steel mercenary camp, they could hear Bo Guang's cries.
"Listen!" Su Miaomiao said apprehensively.
The reason she felt uneasy here was because she had heard Bo Guang's cries; the more she heard, the more she felt she must face the situation.
If Su Miaomiao couldn't confront the situation, she'd only face more pressure.
Faced with such pressure, Su Miaomiao couldn't remain calm.
"What? I didn't hear anything!" Lin Chen pretended not to know.
In fact, Lin Chen's sensory ability was stronger than Su Miaomiao's; he had faintly heard Bo Guang's voice five kilometers ago. Though he had only met Bo Guang once before, his unforgettable hearing allowed him to gather this information.
However, Lin Chen didn't want Su Miaomiao to know about it, as it probably wouldn't be a good thing for him if she found out.
"Listen closely!" Su Miaomiao said irritably.
At this moment, Su Miaomiao quickened her pace, and when Lin Chen saw her trying to leave him behind, he realized if she got away, he might not be able to catch up.
Thinking of this, Lin Chen also sped up.
"Thunder Roar Step!"
Lin Chen's figure became much lighter, moving sideways like a streak of lightning, continuing to follow Su Miaomiao.
"Don't follow me anymore; our mercenary group has many patrols around, they won't let you get past." Su Miaomiao said worriedly.
"You're here, right? Besides, if things don't work out, I can try to change my relationship with you!" Lin Chen joked.
It was then that they encountered the first team of sentries patrolling nearby.
