Big Moon Ballad

"Why haven't you come back yet? Did something happen?"

As the night grew darker, Ji Ange was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, "You won't be captured by the Xirong people, will you?"

Li Jinniang and Gui Li were both young girls with strong personalities. She couldn't even imagine what would happen if they met the Xirong cavalry.

"Don't worry," Zhao Guang leaned on a walking stick made of tree branches and frowned, "When they went out, didn't you bring them all the poison Bao Yue left for you?"

The poison given by Ying Baoyue was no ordinary poison. Even if they encountered Xirong practitioners, Li Jinniang and Gui Li would be able to hit them with the poison powder.

Compared to Xirong Bing, Zhao Guang had a deeper worry in his heart.

"Could it be...that something strange happened during the day?"

Ji Ange was excited, "What did you mean during the day?"

Li Jinniang and Gui Li returned safely from their previous two trips out.If there is any difference between today and the previous two days, I have to mention the vision that happened during the day.

The reason why they are in the current predicament is ultimately because of the changes in the world caused by the gods a few days ago.This morning, when Ji Ange was helping Zhao Guang practice walking, something unusual happened again.

Compared with the last time, the changes in the world this time were not so earth-shattering, and Ji Ange didn't even feel it particularly clearly.

However, Zhao Guang was practicing walking in the cave when one of his feet suddenly became unsteady and he fell to the ground.

"Zhao Guang, what's wrong with you?"

Ji Ange was startled and just wanted to help him, when suddenly a gust of wind swept past her, giving her a chill on her back and goosebumps all over her body.

It was difficult for Ji Ange to describe the feeling. She seemed to see a huge black wing flying against the ground across the sky and earth, and a feather at the tip of the wing penetrated straight through her body.

Ji Ange didn't know how she could imagine such a weird scene. When she looked up, she found beads of sweat on Zhao Guang's forehead.

"Ange, do you feel it too?"

Zhao Guang was a little distracted, "It seems to be the breath of a god again."

Ji Ange was too young and had never faced the beast god directly. She didn't know how to answer him, "Is it still the same god as last time?"

"No," Zhao Guang's face turned pale. "It's not the same one."

In such a short period of time, two gods actually made strange movements one after another.

"What on earth did Baoyue and the others do on the mountain?"

Zhao Guang was simply unbelievable.

Ji Ange didn't understand this and felt scared instinctively, "Will what happened last time happen again? Will there be disciples from the Zen Academy coming?"

Zhao Guang sat down holding on to his crutch, "I don't know, this guy didn't move that much this time."

He didn't know how Ying Baoyue and others provoked another god. Compared with the destructive posture last time, the behavior of the god this time... was confusing.

"What does the Lord Spirit want to do this time?" Ji Ange asked worriedly.

"Who knows? But it doesn't seem that aggressive?" Zhao Guang scratched the back of his neck. The moment the divine breath passed by, he only felt something rubbing the back of his head.

The feeling actually feels like...feathers?
what the hell.

Zhao Guang suspected that he was delusional because he was too deeply poisoned.

The Beast God can feel the breath of practitioners within a hundred miles radius, but he probably doesn't have the leisure to do something to every practitioner.

Zhao Guang and Ji Ange sat opposite each other on the ground for a while and found that nothing happened to them.There was no movement outside the cave, so they dismissed the incident as a false alarm.

It was only now that Li Jinniang and Gui Li hadn't returned that they realized something was wrong.

"When the change occurred, Pansy and Alik were both outside."

Ji Ange's breathing became rapid, "Would the two of them encounter that aura head-on?" Zhao Guang was silent for a moment, it was very possible.

If the breath of the gods is compared to a storm, then he and Ji Ange encountered it in a cave, but Li Jinniang encountered it outdoors, and the impact must have been greater.

But those two girls were not at a high level, so logically they would not attract the attention of the gods.

Seeing that the sun was about to completely set, Zhao Guang sighed, "Ange, help me out, let's go look for it."

Ji Ange couldn't bear it, but she had no choice. She supported Zhao Guang, who was still trembling, and they walked out of the cave.

"Are they looking for water around here?"

"I remember this is where even Pansy dared not go far."

The two searched repeatedly at nearby water sources, but neither Li Jinniang nor Gui Li was seen.

The sky was completely dark, and Ji Ange couldn't stand still. He squatted down by the stream and burst into tears.

"It's all my fault for letting the two of them go out. A Li is obviously still so young..."

If Li Jinniang and Gui Li were kidnapped by the Xirong people and something unexpected happened, Ji Ange would never be able to forgive herself in this life.

Zhao Guang's face was extremely ugly. He leaned on crutches and looked around for a moment, then suddenly said, "That's not right."

"Those two were not kidnapped by the cavalry."

By the moonlight, he found that the grass all around the stream had fallen down, very neatly. It didn't look like there had been a fight, and there were no traces of horses' hooves. It looked like it had been blown by a strong wind.

Based on Zhao Guang's understanding of Li Jinniang, if someone really attacked them, no matter how cruel the opponent was, Li Jinniang would fight to the death and it would be impossible not to leave any traces.

Unless a heaven-level practitioner passes by and can subdue the two of them quietly and take them away.

But if someone really passed by, it would be impossible not to find him and Ji Ange not far away, and there was no reason not to catch them all.

Zhao Guang stared at the flat grass in front of him, his eyes straight.

Is there any reason for the masters passing by to take away only Li Jinniang and Guili?

Unless it's someone who knows their identity.

"Zhao Guang, come and see!"

Ji Ange's scream rang out not far away. Zhao Guang threw away his crutches and rushed over, falling into the grass. He happened to see where Ji Ange was pointing.

A small piece of cloth hung deep in the grass, with blood stains on it.

"It's A Li's clothes," Ji Ange's heartbeat almost stopped when he saw the bloody piece of cloth, and his vision was instantly blurred by tears.

Gui Li was the only one among the three of them whose clothes were relatively intact. Seeing the blood-stained pieces of clothes, Ji Ange's first reaction in his mind was that it was over.

Something must have happened to Gui Li and them.

"Wait, there seems to be writing on it!"

Zhao Guang was shocked and horrified, but Ji Ange was on the verge of collapse and he could not collapse again.He grabbed the piece of cloth to see if he could find any clues, but he didn't expect to see any clues.

There was indeed blood on the strip of cloth, but it was a word written in blood.

"Brother..."

The person who left the note wrote in a hurry, leaving half a word unfinished. Zhao Guang could only barely make out the word "brother".

He held the piece of cloth and raised his head in confusion, "Brother, what?"
