Age of Heroes, ten consecutive guarantees.

Chapter 809: Xiao Taozi, the hell is ahead
There was a drizzle in the mountains.

The autumn rain is falling and the air is cold.

Walking in this landscape full of ink and color, Tao Rusu could not make his steps lighter.

Looking around, she was not admiring the scenery, but was silently alert. She didn't know whether there were assassins or pursuers here.

She was holding a translucent umbrella in her hand, which was obviously disposable. Even the bracket was made of hard plastic. It was picked up from a trash can and there was a hole on it, so it was barely usable.

Using it to shelter from wind and rain is just psychological comfort.

Her vision became increasingly blurry.

Strictly speaking, the injury this time was not very serious.

It was just a scratch on the arm, but within a few days, the wound became festered and inflamed.

This is not a normal inflammation of the wound. She has the blood of a tyrant and has a very strong recovery ability. The reason why the wound keeps getting inflamed and even festered must be because the weapon is coated with poison.

The poison invading her body might have been fatal, but the only effect on her was a persistent high fever and rotting wounds.

She planned to find a quiet cave to hide in, and then scrape off the rotten flesh with a knife.

It hurts just by hearing it, but Tao Rusu's entire arm has almost lost all feeling.

She didn't expect the situation to develop to this point.

In the past, she thought that Daxia was a country ruled by law, but now that she has grown up, she has gradually realized that once one rises to the level of a transcendent, many laws used to protect the people will gradually begin to become ineffective.

The stronger the extraordinary people become, the more they are detached from the grassroots people. The rules and laws used to protect ordinary people gradually become unable to restrain them, and naturally cannot protect them.

Just like the barbed wire fence in a nature reserve.

Once you walk in, you can return to the primitive jungle, but it also means that you are no longer protected by the rules of the civilized world.

The world of extraordinary people is completely different from the world of ordinary people. Even if it has not retreated to the law of the jungle, it has already become infinitely close to the world of martial arts.

At least there is never a shortage of things like revenge and murder.

Ren Nanbei was very chivalrous when he was young and killed many people, but he rarely suffered from imprisonment and even became famous.

With sufficient clues and evidence to support it, private revenge is justified and even noble.

The Ten Departments of Daxia are certainly not doing nothing. Maintaining stability is the official responsibility, and they will not tolerate any provocations from the official. However, if it comes to matters in the martial arts world, the Shenwu Department and the Xuantian Department are usually responsible, and the Changye Department cannot be involved.

So when Tao Rusu was attacked, unless she applied for personal protection from the authorities, the Shenwu Division, Xuantian Division and other authorities would not help her at all.

This incident was defined as a feud between extraordinary people, so it was usually just a matter of the world.

Someone in the Jiang family had indeed died.

The blame has been put on Tao Rusu. Even if she wants to apply for protection, she will eventually be detained by the Shenwu Division. By then, her freedom will no longer be in her hands, and she will have no idea what will happen.

Tao Rusu also knew what she would face if she was caught as a criminal by the Ten Divisions of Daxia.

It might be an exaggeration to say that it was a slice study, but it is not impossible to use it as an experimental instrument.

Her father was a notorious holder of one of the top five Ten Evils. Just for this reason, the authorities had to take her hostage to deal with Zhen Shifang.

Besides, Tao Rusu's bloodline is the complete bloodline of a dominant ruler, with the potential for canonization. Who would not want it in the future?
And she is a woman, a beautiful woman.

Imagine that scene for a moment. Even if she might not be treated as an experimental animal, she had completely given up the idea and means of solving the problem through official means.

Fortunately, Tao Rusu has not been slacking off for the past six months. She has received rigorous training, obtained most of Zhen Shifang's inheritance, learned to control her own blood, and can activate the various effects of her special blood. Her realm is also improving by leaps and bounds.

After his bloodline was fully activated, he was now firmly on the threshold of the fourth-order transcendent state, and only one step away from becoming a first-line master.

It was also thanks to her bloodline ability to change her appearance that she could constantly switch identities to avoid being hunted down, otherwise she would have no way of escaping so far.

Zhen Shifang has many enemies, and with the support of a saintly family behind him, Tao Rusu's escape is extremely dangerous.

The destination she was going to this time was a secret stronghold left behind by Zhen Shifang, hidden among the mountains. She planned to go into seclusion for a while to stay out of the spotlight first.

Normally, it would only take half an hour to reach the destination by climbing the mountain, but her physical condition was extremely poor. It took her three hours to reach the halfway point of the mountain. She was sweating profusely and her face was pale. The foul smell coming from her wounds could not be covered up even with perfume.

Soon, she fell on the mountain path as she felt dizzy.

Before fainting, a few low cries were heard from the corner.

……

She had a dream.

The soul of a fourth-level extraordinary being is almost perfect and is unlikely to dream.

Even in a dream, you will be clearly aware that you are in a dream.

Perhaps it was because of the poisoning. Even though I was conscious and knew I was in a dream, all kinds of hallucinations kept coming.

What scares her most is...

It was that familiar figure.

She kept chasing and reaching out her hand, but she could never reach it.

The other person walked farther and farther away, until he was out of her sight.

She stumbled and fell to the ground.

Then, the dream woke up.

a nightmare.

Tao Rusu sat up. The pain in her right arm pulled a nerve. She looked down at her arm, which was wrapped in white medical gauze. There was a faint scent of medicine in the air.

The room was pitch black and the only sound I could hear was my own breathing.

"here it is?"

"It's my home."

"!"

Tao Rusu was startled and subconsciously grabbed the quilt to pull it open, preparing to make a move with her left hand.

But before she could raise her left hand, it was held down, and she was unable to exert any strength. A figure suddenly appeared in front of her and pressed her hands and shoulders, not very hard, but completely suppressing Tao Rusu.

"Don't be nervous, I have no ill intentions, and if you start fighting here, you'll destroy the room."

Tao Rusu could tell that the voice was very young, with a pleasant and ethereal tone. In the darkness, she could not see the other person's appearance or recognize his identity. She could only smell the scent of musk and orchid.

"You helped me?" She asked cautiously, "Do you know who I am?"

"I told you, you don't have to be nervous, and you don't have to pretend to be so tough. After all, you were just having a nightmare, and you kept saying 'don't leave me'... Now it's a little too late to pretend to be tough."

“?!” Tao Rusu covered her mouth. She was so weak that she even started talking in her sleep?
“Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone.” The figure stood up and returned to his seat: “You can continue crying for a while, just pretend I don’t exist.”

"Who would cry?" Tao Rusu pulled up the quilt: "Even if you helped me, you are too rude, right? Can't you say something nice? If I really want to cry, shouldn't you go out and avoid it?"

"This is my room. I have no reason to go out. Besides, I am worried about you."

"Is it because my origins are unknown?" Tao Rusu said, "If that's the case, why do you want to save me?"

"Someone I know said this - you don't need a reason to save someone, but you do need a reason to harm someone."

"I've heard this before..."

Tao Rusu looked at the woman sitting in the dark, and became even more curious about her identity, so she asked, "Can't you turn on the light?"

"There seems to be something wrong with the substation down the mountain. There has been no power supply for the past two days."

Tao Rusu was stunned for a second and suddenly felt a little embarrassed because this seemed to be related to her.

At that time, in order to avoid being hunted down, he hid directly in the substation. High voltage current can also be a deadly weapon.

"Are there any candles?"

"Only oil lamps."

"That's okay too."

"But there's no wick."

"Where's the wick?"

"It was stolen by the white mouse."

Tao Rusu suddenly realized: "Are you just teasing me and making fun of me?"

"No, because I'm not happy."

...and he didn't deny the first half of the sentence.

...This woman's words are really infuriating.

"You live on such a high mountain, you must have few friends." Tao Rusu snorted, "Did all your relatives and friends get pissed off by you?"

"Are you slandering me?" The figure in the darkness shook.

"No." Tao Rusu smiled: "How could I slander my savior?"

"You'd better not." The woman said calmly, "Because when you curse, it's like being a spoiled child, and it lacks aggression."

Tao Rusu’s smile froze.

"Also, even if I have few relatives and friends and my popularity is average, I will not try to save my nonexistent reputation by saying a few words after I faint on a mountain trail due to being poisoned by someone unknown and being picked up and treated by someone unknown."

"you……"

"Ah, don't leave me..." the woman began to chant.

"Ahhh, stop talking! I was wrong, I was wrong! I won't be stubborn anymore!"

Tao Rusu simply lay down, with the quilt covering her head, and let out a shameful scream.

She was completely at a disadvantage in the bickering.

Then, at that moment, a light illuminated the room.

A short-haired woman walked in from outside the door and asked curiously, "Why don't you turn on the light?"

Tao Rusu poked her head out from under the quilt, stared at the woman sitting on the chair and asked, "Didn't you say there was no electricity?"

"It's true that there's a power outage." The woman leaned back in her chair and said calmly, "But I didn't say there's no generator at home."

"..."

"Okay, stop teasing her. She's seriously injured and has been unconscious for more than two days." Another capable short-haired woman smoothed things over: "Hello, my name is Feng Wuwu, I'm the current head of Phoenix Terrace and the head chef of Phoenix Terrace Restaurant. You're seriously injured, shouldn't you eat something good to replenish your body? Is there anything you want to eat?"

Tao Rusu was stunned for three seconds, then she threw back the quilt and sat up straight.

"Phoenix Tower?" She asked, "Is this Phoenix Tower?"

Her gaze shifted from Feng Wuwu to the woman on the chair, and only then could she see the other person's appearance clearly.

"You, you are Huang Qixia?"

No wonder she felt so strangely familiar. She had met him once before in Penglai College.

But at that time, Huang Qixia had no eyes for anyone else. She came and left in a hurry.

Unexpectedly, in less than a year, she would be picked up by the other party and brought back to Phoenix TV.

Huang Qixia tilted her head slightly, and immediately thought of some scenes from the past. She asked, "Do you want an autograph?"

When Tao Rusu saw her expression, he suddenly had an idea and blurted out, "I know Bai Yu."

Huang Qixia was unmoved: "Oh?"

"He's my boyfriend!"

"..."

"you do not believe?"

"Well, because you have the face of a mistress."
