Viper.
That was Xie An.
At this moment, he was huddled in a dark and damp cave.
Underneath him, blood was continuously oozing out.
He took a deep breath.
Then he tore off the scab on the wound.
He had no other choice.
Gritting his teeth, Viper took out a dagger from his waist and carefully cleaned the rotten flesh from the wound.
He had been careless when he fell into the trap set by the remnants of the Seven - Star Alliance.
Lin Lang, the leader of the Seven - Star Alliance, was a ruthless person with a shrewd mind. Viper had originally planned to flee back to Shuiyunsheng or one of its branches to recuperate.
However, he was driven by Lin Lang to this low - lying area.
Fortunately, this place was only a hundred miles away from Mount Huazhou Peak. He had been here on a mission when he was practicing at the Misty Rain Tower and was familiar with the terrain. That was how he managed to escape this disaster.
In order to avoid Lin Lang's pursuit, he had never had the time to treat the wound on his leg.
As time passed.
It had scabbed over.
Normally, scabbing should be a good thing, but for Viper, it was like adding insult to injury. The wound on his leg was poisoned by the bite of Lin Lang's pet monster, the Dragon - Tooth Brahma Leopard.
The teeth of that monster were highly poisonous.
If he didn't treat it in time, his leg would surely be useless.
Viper gritted his teeth and used the dagger to pick out the rotten flesh one by one. He took out the hemostatic powder from his bag, poured it on the wound, and then firmly bandaged it with a bandage.
"I really underestimated Lin Lang of the Seven - Star Alliance before." If Lin Lang was not eliminated, he would surely grow into a strong enemy of Shuiyunsheng in the future.
After treating his leg,
Viper was completely drenched in sweat.
He had to sit in the dark and damp cave, not even daring to breathe too loudly.
I don't know how much time had passed.
Viper heard heavy breathing beside him.
He slowly opened his extremely tired eyes.
The ground beneath him was even wetter, with a strong smell of blood.
He didn't care about anything else at this moment.
He immediately took out a night - pearl from his bosom and hung it in the cave.
Finally, he could see where the blood beneath him came from.
It was Zhu Yan.
It had come back?
It seemed that
It should have successfully led those searching for him to other places, and he was temporarily safe.
Looking at Zhu Yan again.
There were many wounds on its body.
"How are you?"
Zhu Yan let out a growl.
It signaled to Xie An that it was okay.
Xie An finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm sorry. The fairy gave you to me, but I didn't take good care of you."
Zhu Yan rubbed against Xie An and transformed into a tiny form. At this moment, it needed a good rest.
Viper placed Zhu Yan properly.
At this time.
He slowly walked out of the cave.
During this period.
He had been living in the cave in complete darkness.
He had underestimated the enemy. When he first discovered the remnants of the Seven - Star Alliance, he shouldn't have chased after them so quickly, let alone investigated alone. Lin Lang's ability far exceeded his imagination.
On Mount Huazhou Peak.
Viper had never established Shuiyunsheng's influence here.
Previously, he just thought it was unnecessary because there was the Misty Rain Tower. The Misty Rain Tower had a close relationship with Shuiyunsheng. With it here, it was like a pair of eyes for Shuiyunsheng.
At that time.
Kong Shishuang had inexplicably come to him and cut off their friendship. He was just shocked at that time, thinking that after Miss Kong came to her senses, there might still be a chance for reconciliation between Shuiyunsheng and the Misty Rain Tower.
Who would have thought.
That rift had lasted for so many years.
Now it seemed.
Kong Shishuang had fallen out with him, then he had discovered the traces of the Seven - Star Alliance and chased after them for so many years, and only recently had he had what he thought was a "harvest".
Maybe all of this was part of someone else's scheme.
To drive him into a desolate place, isolated and helpless.
Unable to contact the outside world.
Viper stood at the entrance of the cave.
He looked down.
There were boundless mountains.
Spring was in full swing.
It was spring again so soon.
Thinking of his first meeting with the fairy, she was just a baby, but she had pretended to be so mysterious and deceived them all.
Xie An was extremely grateful to Zhao Shuning.
If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have achieved what he had today.
If it weren't for her, with his own aptitude, Zhu Yan would never have chosen him as its contract master.
Right.
If it weren't for her.
He wouldn't have had a bosom friend like Ye Xingchen.
Xie An was grateful to Zhao Shuning.
In other words, he regarded Zhao Shuning as the most respected person.
"It's a pity that I haven't seen the fairy for a long, long time."
"If you knew that I so easily fell into the trap of the defeated Seven - Star Alliance, would you laugh at me?"
Or perhaps.
You would just smile and say that little An was really useless.
It had been a long, long time.
No one had called him little An for a long time.
He wondered if Ye Xingchen had been looking for him during his disappearance. If he had been looking and couldn't find him, would he be extremely worried?
Thinking of Ye Xingchen.
A smile appeared on the corner of Viper's mouth.
His pale face also became radiant.
Looking at his thigh.
It was covered in blood. For a while, it seemed he wouldn't even be able to leave this place.
Viper was not the kind of person who would easily yield.
The safety he had now was hard - won by Zhu Yan. He had to seize it well.
He casually cut off a branch with his dagger, made it into a crutch, held it in his right hand, and limped down the mountain.
Lin Lang would surely not let Viper go so easily.
Although he didn't know where Viper was hiding.
But Lin Lang was not stupid.
Before leaving, he had set up a barrier around the entire mountain. Since Viper had been bitten by the Dragon - Tooth Brahma Leopard, he surely couldn't use his spiritual power recklessly.
Moreover, as long as Viper used his spiritual power,
Lin Lang would immediately sense it.
Although Viper was being very careful.
He didn't expect that Lin Lang had such a trick up his sleeve.
Therefore.
The game between Lin Lang and Viper.
Actually, had just truly begun.
Catching a turtle in a jar was the kind of game that Lin Lang liked the most.
In the small building.
The Dragon - Tooth Brahma Leopard was constantly grooming its fur.
It seemed to sense Viper's aura and suddenly stood up.
"Don't be in a hurry."
Lin Lang played with the wooden beads in his hand and let out a sinister smile.
"The barrier I set up is not so easy for him to break. We'll go after he has exhausted all his energy. It will take at least half a month."
That Viper.
Wasn't he the leader of Shuiyunsheng?
Since he hadn't simply died under his sword back then, Lin Lang would let him die in another way.
He would hold a grand "farewell banquet" for him.
He wanted everyone on the Nine - Continent Continent to know how humiliating Viper was when he died. When the Seven - Star Alliance was destroyed, he would make Xie An of Shuiyunsheng.
Pay with his life for the Seven - Star Alliance!
