Chapter 218 Escape
Chapter 218 Escape
"Young Master of the Golden Palace Clan, Commander of Cangwu, what brings you here?"
"Has Chief Chixiao granted me permission to participate in the marriage ceremony?"
Upon seeing the two's sudden visit, Mo Ling was overjoyed and hurriedly came out of the wooden shed to ask them questions.
"Yes, of course! Brother Mo Ling is truly remarkable. He actually found such an important amethyst core. It's incredibly useful!"
"Really? That's wonderful! I knew it! The females in the Void Realm would love it! I can finally find a partner!"
"After we got together, no one ever complained that I was a black peacock again!"
The sudden arrival of Jin Que and his companion immediately put He Yu on high alert, and his somewhat thin body couldn't help but tremble.
He was a very timid gray peacock. For more than 40 years, he had been cautious and careful, trying his best to protect himself and his black feathers.
Seeing that Mo Ling was in danger, he couldn't care less about anything else and stepped forward shakily to help explain.
"Well, Mo Ling, he doesn't plan to form a partner anymore, and he doesn't want the crystal core either."
"If the young clan leader of Jinque likes it, then you may take it."
Upon hearing this, Mo Ling was instantly stunned. This excellent opportunity to become a couple was right in front of him, so why was Brother He Yu turning it down for him?
"Brother Brown Feather, why can't I form a mate? The crystal core is my..."
Mo Ling wanted to explain, but He Yu quickly stepped forward, covered his mouth, and nodded and smiled at the two of them.
"Please don't be offended, Mo Ling is just confused from sleeping. We've never seen or given him a crystal core before."
Having lived for 40 years, Brown Feather was well aware of the methods of the Crimson Cloud Clan Chief. Under such tyranny, he could only pretend to be stupid.
"Oh dear, Brother Brown Feather is truly insightful. Originally, we only planned to take Ink Feather to form a couple, but it seems we'll have to bring one more now."
"As far as I know, Brother Brown Feather is almost 40 years old and still hasn't found a mate. This is a good opportunity to find an 80-year-old female to pair with you."
At this moment, Mo Ling finally realized that the newcomers were up to no good, but with his fourth-tier purple mid-level talent and strength, was he afraid of the two of them?
"What do you mean? Does the clan leader really want to go back on his word? Give me back the crystal core!"
"Give it back!"
"Hahahaha!"
"Brother Cangwu, this little brat actually dared to take it back!"
Cangwu, a man of few words and a serious demeanor, bowed respectfully before the Golden Palace and said:
"Mo Ling is ungrateful; let's finish this quickly!"
"Alright, let the old man and the child travel together!"
The two exchanged a smile and began to hold their breath.
Mo Ling's expression darkened, and she prepared to attack.
"Show me what you've got! I, Mo Ling, am not afraid of any orc!"
Brown Feather's face turned deathly pale instantly. He understood that the fact that the third-tier Golden Palace dared to go alone with the fourth-tier Azure Feather meant that the Clan Chief of the Crimson Cloud Clan must have given them something extraordinary.
If a real fight breaks out, Mo Ling will definitely suffer a loss.
A tremendous fear instantly filled his body, making him feel desperate. Mo Ling was someone he had protected and raised with great difficulty; if not his biological brother, he was almost like an older brother to him.
"Mo Ling, don't be reckless, run away quickly, I'll hold them off for a moment."
"Brother Brown Feather, I'm fine. I can beat them. You should hide quickly to avoid getting hurt."
Mo Ling conjured a huge natal feather, activated battle mode, and glared fiercely at the two people opposite her.
Jin Que raised his hand, revealing the golden amethyst core, which merged into his palm.
"No need to hide anymore, we're all here, none of us will escape."
"Alright! My crystal core is indeed in your hands. You don't actually think that having the crystal core will allow you to defeat me, do you?"
"Of course not!"
Jin Que suddenly retreated, while Cang Wu stepped forward and quickly crushed the red pill in his hand. A peculiar smell instantly filled the area where the four of them were.
Time passed quickly. Cangwu retreated rapidly. Neither Mo Ling nor He Yu could see what it was before they slowly felt their bodies become heavy.
"It's a poison pill! Mo Ling, hold your breath!"
Brown Feather held his breath in time and barely inhaled the poisonous mist, but Mo Ling was different; his body jolted instantly.
"Mo Ling, you go quickly. I'll hold them off. Remember what I just said, you must survive!"
The originally timid and cowardly Brown Feather suddenly gained courage, conjuring its own gray feather blade, and tremblingly confronted Golden Palace and Cangwu.
"Go! You think you can leave like this!"
"Brother Brown Feather, you go first, I'll cover you!"
Before He Yu could speak again, Mo Ling activated her supernatural abilities and stepped forward to join Jin Que and the other two in a fight.
With the Golden Wind Blade and Fireball abilities unleashed simultaneously, and Cangwu, who also possessed wind-based abilities, was already on par with Mo Ling in strength. However, Mo Ling, poisoned, quickly found himself at a disadvantage.
In an instant, his strong, muscular body was charred black by the fireball, and his perfect twelve-pack abs were also slashed by Cangwu's feather blade.
Seeing Mo Ling injured, He Yu was heartbroken and couldn't help but bravely join the battle.
Brown Feather, along with the poisoned Ink Feather, was no match for the two opponents. After thinking for a moment, Brown Feather used the giant crocodile skin shed behind them as a cover, seized the opportunity, grabbed Ink Feather, and jumped inside.
"Trying to escape? Behold my fireball, I'll burn your doghouse down!"
Jin Que, who considered himself invincible in the beast world, saw the two escape into the shed but did not pursue them closely. He simply threw a few fireballs, intending to burn them to death.
There was a wooden bucket of stream water in the shed. Mo Ling was very clean and would often fill a large bucket with water, put it in the shed, wash her hands and feet, and then rest in the hammock.
The fireball entered, and Brown Feather grabbed the wooden bucket and caught it perfectly. The steam instantly boiled, covering the entire shed.
"Young clan leader, this is bad! They're trying to escape!"
"Escape, prey in the palm of your hand, where have they escaped to!"
Brown Feather quickly transformed into a black peacock, hoisted the now powerless Ink Feather, and fled towards the edge of the tribe.
Jin Que and his companion followed closely behind, eating very quickly.
"Brother Cangwu, don't worry. Both of them are poisoned and injured. They can't go far!"
Cangwu dared not be negligent. The Chixiao clan chief had given his life, and today he was determined to take Mo Ling's life.
"Brother Brown Feather, put me down! I can't drag you down with me. You must run away!"
"What they want is my life. Kill me, and they won't bother you anymore!"
At this moment, Mo Ling finally understood what He Yu had said earlier. The Clan Chief Chi Xiao never intended for him to form a mate; he only wanted him dead.
He was still foolish enough to think that he was a member of the tribe and would be treated fairly.
A thousand questions linger in my mind, yet I have no way of knowing the answers.
"Don't be afraid, Mo Ling. I won't abandon you. You'll be safe once we enter the poisonous rainforest!"
Brown Feather had only one thought in his mind: he wanted Mo Ling to live. He had already lived such a life, and he was powerless to repay many of the debts of gratitude. He could only risk his life for one last gamble.
"Ha, I didn't expect this old bastard to be so fast!"
"Young clan leader, we must hurry. Ahead lies the poisonous rainforest miasma. We haven't brought enough antidotes, so we dare not venture forth rashly."
"it is good."
Thinking of this, Jin Que also became serious, and the two finally cornered the two at the last moment.
"Run! Let's see how you run now!"
Brown Feather's eyes hardened; he abandoned his former timidity and resolved to die.
He unleashed all the feather blades within his body, soared into the air, enveloped Mo Ling, and threw him into the poisonous mist of the rainforest.
"Mo Ling, remember my words, live well."
"No, Brother Brown Feather, I want to go with you. I'm not afraid to die!"
Mo Ling was already in tears. If she had listened to him earlier, neither of them would have died now!
