“I kissed him. Very fishy. What animal blood is this?” Huang Chao wondered.
“In my opinion, the smell of this kind of blood is not the smell of the blood of animals such as deer, dogs, or pigs. From the smell that is smelled, like. Like blood that was deliberately silent for some time,” said Wuxian.
Huang Chao was speechless, digesting what Wuxian had just said to him. Very suspicious when they see the ritual they are working on.
The group of people went around, forming a circular pattern, with a bonfire lit in the middle.
Looks like the others are carrying a place in the form of a place of water generally. However, the content of the water was not water, but blood. They dipped the blood and burned it into the fire. They do the action, until the blood in the container is drained.
“K-Sister Chao.. a-did you see what they carry on the end of the stick?” asked Wuxian with his stuttering tone.
Huang Chao further sharpened his eyesight, noticing the tip of the stick they were carrying around the fire.
“Can't be... it's a human head?!” Huang Chao was stunned when he realized what they were carrying at the end of their wand. “What kind of ritual is this? Why are humans the victims?” Huang Chao tried to calm himself as much as possible, even though his heart was very frightened.
Wuxian who was very frightened when he realized what was at the end of the stick of the group of people, reflexively rewinded his body slowly. Wuxian's actions were not noticed by Huang Chao.
As Wuxian walked backwards step by step, he accidentally stepped on a wooden branch. Surprised, Wuxian reflex turned around, until his left shoulder hit the tree trunk next to him.
Realizing what had happened to Wuxian, Huang Chao turned his head in his direction. Huang Chao's two eyeballs grew bigger, staring at Wuxian's face with furrowed brows.
“Who's there?!”
CRING.. SREK!!! A tombok glided towards them, stuck in one of the spruce trees that were around them.
Seeing what happened, Huang Chao did not want to think long. He walked quickly to Wuxian, and dragged him away.
“Running!” Huang Chao gave instructions to Wuxian. However, Wuxian who was still in shock because of what was happening, lost his focus and instead daydreamed with a trembling body.
“Wuxian! Wuxian!!! Realize, fool!!!” huang Chao.
“Ah? K-ka ..”
“Run! We have to run from them. Or not, we'll die!” huang Chao Sentak.
Huang Chao felt that there was no point in him resuscitating Wuxian. Huang Chao pu could only grip Wuxian's wrist tightly, and carried him running with him.
“Who are they?” ask a man from the group who is running the ritual.
“We can't confirm it. Could it be... they are spies from the truth sect tasked with monitoring our movements secretly?” thought.
“Could it be... they have been aware of our movement all this time? If they really are spies of the truth sect, we must not let go. Don't get away with any of them. Kill it! If they die, bring their bodies to me,” he ordered.
“Good! We will carry out the order from Guru.”
The man they called ‘Guru’ was the one who completed the ritual they were working on.
“They're there! Chase!” the orders of one of them.
Huang Chao took the time to look back. He saw a group of strangers chasing him with Wuxian. Apparently, they are not ordinary people. It seemed, they were people from the Jianghu world.
Huang Chao was able to guess like that, as they were able to catch up very quickly. That was why Huang Chao was able to guess that they were all cultivators from a sect.
Wuxian's tired knee began to ache, so he fell in the snow with Huang Chao who was interested in falling with him.
“Wuxian, wake up!” huang Chao's Order.
Wuxian tried to get up, but it was free. His knees are numb. Their current position was at the end of the cliff. Huang Chao had no idea how steep it was. However, hearing the rushing water flowing, Huang Chao guessed that underneath was a river.
“Kak Chao, go! Leave me! Save yourself. Thank you for everything you've done so far. Don't mind me! Just go! Go!!!” wuxian.
“Stupid boy! What exactly are you saying?! If you don't have a life expectancy, don't call me that. We're not gonna die like this. I won't leave you!” cetus Huang Chao's.
“Kak Chao! You have to stay alive. Don't think about me! If you don't leave quickly, they'll catch you!” wuxian desk. He continued to force Huang Chao to abandon him, because he did not want to drag Huang Chao to death with him.
“Stupid boy! I told you, don't say anything like that. We will not die!” cetus Huang Chao's.
“You will have hope if you leave me. You have to go and save yourself!” reply Wuxian.
“Where are you going?!” It didn't take long, the foreign group managed to besiege Wuxian and Huang Chao.
Wuxian and Huang Chao looked at them one by one with enthusiastic gazes. There was no chance for the two of them to escape again. And they were already 100% sure that the foreign group would not forgive them, even though they were both just teenagers, because in Jianghu world no one looked at age, but rather ability or cultivation.
“You two, are you spies sent by the sect of truth?” ask one of them.
“Ka-we are not spies from any sect. We are just a survivor who accidentally passed by,” stutters Wuxian.
“True, we are just ordinary kids. We have no cultivation whatsoever. If you don't believe me, you can examine our bodies. No, if we were a cultivator, we would not run, but rather fly with a sword, or disappear easily.
“Why should we believe what you say? After all, it doesn't matter whether you're a cultivator's spy or not. Since you have seen what we did, you must die! Kill!” tusky.
The foreign group began to attack Wuxian and Huang Chao. Huang Chao, who clasped tightly onto Wuxian's wrist, tightened it even more. He looked at Wuxian's face while nodding his head, gesturing for Wuxian to be sure that he would protect her.
Wuxian did not understand what Huang Chao wanted to do. He didn't want Huang Chao to do anything stupid at the cost of his life. Wuxian furrowed both of his eyebrows while shaking his head. However, Huang Chao did not want to care about what Wuxian was thinking.
“Aaaaa!!” Wuxian shouted hysterically.
