Hearing the screams around him, Lin Gang suddenly snapped back to reality, immediately looked up, and found that everyone was looking at him in horror!
Not far away, the guards also looked over after hearing the screams. Lin Gang panicked, ran forward without hesitation, and jumped directly onto a horse!
"A'Ru, Xiaoliu, hurry up!" Lin Gang looked at his wife and child and shouted loudly!
Yang Ru was already somewhat scared silly, standing still as if she hadn't heard her husband's shouts. Seeing this, Xiaoliu frowned, grabbed his mother's hand, and quickly ran towards the horse!
The two arrived at the horse. Lin Gang pulled both his wife and child onto the horse, kicked the horse's belly with his legs, and shouted loudly, "Giddy up!"
The horse let out a neigh, its front hooves raised high, and then it galloped away!
"Someone! Quickly catch him, don't let him escape!" The fat man, his fat jiggling, gesticulated wildly in the sedan chair and shouted loudly!
At this moment, all the guards had already mounted their horses and were quickly chasing after the fleeing Lin Gang!
Lin Gang was also galloping on his horse. He looked at the guards chasing behind him, knowing that a slave who had killed someone would surely face a death penalty! Not only that, but his wife and child would also be implicated, so no matter what, he could not be caught by these people!
"Giddy up!" With another loud shout, Lin Gang drove the horse beneath him with all his might, and the horse, as if stimulated, surprisingly ran much faster than usual!
"A'Gang..." Yang Ru hugged Lin Gang tightly from behind, trembling with fear.
Lin Gang felt his wife's fear, gritted his teeth, and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely take you and the child out, nothing will happen!"
"Oh, right! The child!" Yang Ru was stunned when she heard that, and quickly looked back, finding Xiaoliu right behind her, smiling broadly with his mouth wide open, looking at her.
"Mom, I'm fine." Xiaoliu chuckled and said, "Mom, don't worry, we should be happy to leave that ghost place!"
Saying that, Xiaoliu leaned out again and said to Lin Gang, "Dad, I fought with them today because they wanted to bully Xiaoman again. You know Xiaoman is pretty, and those people always want to take advantage of her, so I stepped in and hit them."
Lin Gang, who was driving the horse, rarely showed a smile after hearing that, and said, "You taught them well!"
After speaking, Lin Gang's face darkened again, and he quickly hurried on his way.
As the main slave area of the entire Ziye Country, the Tabukal region is very, very large. Lin Gang galloped madly, and the people behind him continued to give chase. They had long since run out of the slave den, one in front and one behind. Everywhere was an endless wilderness, everything was bare, without vegetation, stretching as far as the eye could see. Lin Gang's horse was always exposed in the sight of those chasing him, with nowhere to hide.
And just at this moment, Lin Gang, who had looked back, suddenly widened his eyes, and scarlet bloodshot lines suddenly appeared in them!
Xiaoliu found his father's expression strange, and also looked back, but he too was stunned!
In his bright eyes, he saw a white wolf appear in the middle of the people chasing behind them! But this white wolf was strangely large, as big as an ox! The white wolf's fur was sparkling white, and the fur on its face was taut like steel needles. The white wolf galloped wildly, saliva flowing backward from its mouth. Its eyes emitted a pale light, making people shiver. And on the back of this white wolf, a middle-aged man dressed in a blue robe was clearly sitting!
"Dad... what is that?" Xiaoliu looked at the white wolf's fierce appearance, couldn't help but shiver, and asked somewhat tremblingly.
"A Snow Wolf." Lin Gang heard his son's question, gritted his teeth, and said, "It's a Strange Beast."
"Strange Beast?" This was the first time Xiaoliu had heard this term, and he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Is it also used for riding?"
Lin Gang shook his head, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes. He often worked as a laborer slave at a dock, and he knew a few things, saying, "Strange Beasts are different from ordinary wild beasts; they are powerful creatures with intelligence and strength. The lowest-level Strange Beast is much stronger than the strongest ordinary person. I heard that powerful Strange Beasts can overturn rivers and seas, and are even revered as totems by us humans."
Xiaoliu heard this half-comprehending, looked back at the white wolf again, and couldn't help but ask, "If Strange Beasts are so powerful, isn't the person riding on it even more powerful?"
Hearing Xiaoliu's words, Lin Gang's face grew even darker.
That's right, this person is very likely a powerful Celestial Master!
In this world, people are also divided into two kinds: ordinary people and powerful Celestial Masters.
Celestial Masters are further divided into nine levels. The first five levels are simply indicated by numbers for their Realm, but from Sixth Grade Celestial Master onwards, a qualitative change occurs, and they begin to have different titles! And the person riding on the white wolf in the distance is very likely a First-Level Celestial Master!
Don't underestimate a First-Level Celestial Master; any Celestial Master is absolutely not comparable to an ordinary person. Celestial Masters possess powerful strength and can even learn Spells, doing things unimaginable to ordinary people. Lin Gang originally held a glimmer of hope for escape, but upon seeing that a Celestial Master was actually chasing him, his heart instantly turned cold!
However, Lin Gang was not one to surrender, especially with his wife and child. He could only bite the bullet and madly drive the horse, running forward!
Ahead, there is a river called Burial River, a not-so-small river. It is called Burial River because people who starved or died of illness in the surrounding slave dens would all be thrown into this river. If the three people could jump into the river and drift downstream with the current, there might still be a glimmer of hope for survival!
Pitter-patter! Pitter-patter!
The horse seemed to sense the threat of the Snow Wolf behind it, and its hooves galloped swiftly across the dry ground. The Snow Wolf behind was also madly chasing; Snow Wolves are naturally known for their speed, how could an ordinary horse outrun it?
Lin Gang felt the Qi on his back getting colder and colder. He didn't even dare to look back, only gritting his teeth and running forward. Burial River was not far ahead, they would be there soon!
Just at this moment, a dark shadow suddenly appeared overhead, actually blocking the sunlight!
Lin Gang's pupils dilated, and he looked up in a panic, only to see the Snow Wolf's outstretched limbs, pressing down on the horse like Mount Tai!
"Jump off the horse!" Lin Gang roared, grabbed his wife and child by their collars, and leaped violently from the horse, flutter ing onto the ground!
Thud...
The horse's speed was originally extremely fast, and the three people hit the ground hard, even rolling a dozen times before finally stopping. Even after stopping, even Lin Gang's strong body was severely injured, not to mention Yang Ru.
"A'Ru, how are you?" Lin Gang climbed up from the ground in pain, staggered to Yang Ru's side, but when he saw his wife's appearance, he was stunned.
His wife was lying on the ground, covered in dust, and on her forehead, a bloody wound was gushing blood.
Lin Gang subconsciously turned his head to look at the other side, and found that there was a sharp stone ahead covered in blood. He let out a wail and rushed to his wife's front!
"A'Ru!!" Lin Gang picked up his wife from the ground. At this moment, her face was already so pale that there was no trace of blood. The blood on her forehead flowed unstoppably. Lin Gang tried to block it with his hand, but the blood still seeped through his fingers.
Xiaoliu also stood up in pain from the ground. Hearing his father's tragic cry, he was stunned, and quickly ran towards his parents!
Upon seeing his mother's appearance, Xiaoliu was completely stunned.
"Mom, she..." Xiaoliu's eyes widened, filled with disbelief, and he stammered, "Mom, she..."
"Your mother... she's dead!" Lin Gang looked at the dumbfounded Xiaoliu, letting hot tears stream down his resolute face, and said through gritted teeth.
Xiaoliu's eyes widened even more. He stood in front of his father, looking at his lifeless mother in his father's arms. His heart skipped a beat, and a red light flashed across his pupils.
Dead?
Really dead?
Just like that, dead?
Xiaoliu stood there, his face showing no grief, no sadness, only a look of stunned astonishment, as if his entire being had gone numb.
At this moment, the chasing guards had also arrived. And the Snow Wolf was tearing at the already dead horse with its teeth. The blue-robed Celestial Master stood beside it, looking at this scene with indifference.
"Saves me the trouble." The blue-robed Celestial Master showed disdain in his eyes, as if extremely disgusted, and then looked at Lin Gang and said, "Why don't you, this slave, quickly end it? Don't dirty my hands!"
Upon hearing these words, Lin Gang suddenly raised his head. His face was contorted, and he roared at the blue-robed Celestial Master, "I'll fight you to the death!"
After speaking, under Xiaoliu's shocked gaze, he lunged at the blue-robed Celestial Master!
"A slave who doesn't know his place." The blue-robed Celestial Master snorted coldly. With a wave of his large hand, a blue light instantly shot out from his hand, striking Lin Gang's chest as he charged forward!
Crack!
The clear sound of bones breaking echoed. Lin Gang spat out fresh blood, his body flew backward, and he landed directly at Xiaoliu's feet!
"Run..." Lin Gang said, his mouth full of blood, with his last bit of strength.
When he finished speaking these words, the light in his eyes faded completely.
Thud.
Xiaoliu's heart trembled, and a red light flashed in his pupils again. He stared blankly at his parents lying at his feet, and just stood there.
"There's still one bastard left." The blue-robed Celestial Master looked at Xiaoliu with disgust, then turned to the guards behind him and said, "He's yours."
Whoosh—
Suddenly, a cold wind blew out of nowhere, making the blue-robed Celestial Master, who had just turned around, pause. He subconsciously looked back at the bodies.
And what he saw was a young man with red pupils!
