The Ace Bodyguard

Many days had already been wasted within this Misty Forest. Since the moment Wang Xiao entered the Misty Forest, coupled with the fact that he was unconscious, it was estimated that he had been in there for at least ten days.    

    

Back then, when Wang Xiao had requested for Xiao Ziye to protect Yang Lei, he had promised her a week, but half a month had already passed. He wondered how Yang Lei was doing, and whether he had met those assassins from Heaven-dragon Society.    

    

Initially, he had wanted to bandage Lver's wounds, but Lver had a strong personality, she did not want her to see her injuries. After eating and drinking until she was full, Wang Xiao moved his body a bit. After being unconscious for so many days, he felt that his body was extremely tight, like a rusty machine.    

    

Ka-cha! *    

    

Ka-cha! *    

    

Following Wang Xiao's actions, the bones in his body released crackling sounds. Next, the two of them had to think of a way out of this Misty Forest area. It was impossible for them to be trapped here forever, because the two of them still had their respective missions and uncompleted missions.    

    

Wang Xiao anxiously went to find his brothers in Divine Monarch Sect, worried that they would be in danger, while Lver also anxiously wanted to leave. Once you entered, it would be very difficult to leave. Back then, Wang Xiao and Lver spent two or three days before finally returning to the starting point of the mountain valley.    

    

Sitting beside the fire, Wang Xiao and Lver both remained silent, because neither of them had the confidence to leave the place. Of course, if they spent two or three days and slowly conducted countless experiments, they might be able to leave, but they did not have that much time or energy.    

    

The two of them did not want to end up back at their starting point after spending so many days.    

    

Crack!    

    

Crack!    

    

Lver sat quietly as she watched the fire with her deep eyes. A few minutes later, she spoke to Wang Xiao with a serious expression: "Idiot, we must think of a way to leave this place."    

    

Lver couldn't wait to leave the Misty Forest, even if it was a minute. Previously, when Wang Xiao was unconscious, she was only thinking about Wang Xiao's safety, but Wang Xiao had already woken up, so she was planning to leave.    

    

Not only did Lver want to leave this place, Wang Xiao also wanted to leave as well. Looking at the forest that was filled with mist, Wang Xiao closed his eyes and thought deeply about how he should get out of this forest. Suddenly, he thought of something. It might not be important, but it might be able to help the two of them leave this place.    

    

Wang Xiao remembered that when he was going up the Spirit Mountain, he met someone who had a mental breakdown. That person's strength was not bad, it was the Innate Stage Expert.    

    

Wang Xiao made some bold speculations, perhaps that person had once entered this place before, coming to this space before. Furthermore, due to some coincidence, he entered the path of the Divine Monarch. There was only one explanation for why the other party could enter the Divine Monarch tunnel in such a short time, and could even escape, and that was that the moment the other party had entered the Small Space, he had been teleported to the vicinity of the tunnel. But why was he not killed by the Taotie and why he was able to walk out of this Misty Forest area?    

    

Wang Xiao told Lver about this matter and gathered all the information he could.    

    

After Lver finished listening to Wang Xiao's narration, she said: "Based on my estimations, that mental breakdown expert must have personally seen the Taotie, and the people who died in the passageway might also be his accomplices."    

    

He did not expect that Lver's thoughts were exactly the same as her. Not bad, Wang Xiao had his own guesses, but he still asked: Since that's the case, why did his companions all die, and why did he manage to escape? Also, the Taotie's divine ability is very vast, it can imprison people, you and I have been imprisoned, so why do you think that those people could escape to the end of the path before letting out the Taotie's growls and kill them.    

    

Wang Xiao did not believe that those people had broken free from the seal of the Taotie because they were strong. Even if those people were stronger than him and Lver, even if they were Qi Master Stage experts, they would still be like ants in front of the Taotie, unable to resist at all.    

    

Lver thought for a while and said: "I need to explain your problems in detail. Although Taotie have the ability to imprison their opponents, when they met those Taotie, they were severely suppressed by the formation, so they were unable to use the imprisoning ability, and could only watch as those people escaped. However, the Taotie released its growl at the end, and killed all the people who had already escaped into the tunnel. "    

    

Lver's explanation should be correct, although Wang Xiao did not personally witness this scene, he estimated that the situation at that time was most likely similar to Lver's analysis.    

    

Lver continued to speak: "As for why that expert did not die, I think it's because he had already broken down and became a madman. Maybe those with mental problems are not afraid of the low roars of Taotie."    

    

Although Lver's explanation was a bit forced, other than this explanation, Wang Xiao couldn't think of a better reason. The low growl of the Taotie could take away a person's soul, but maybe that person was already scared witless and had a mental breakdown, so they weren't afraid of the Taotie's voice that could take away another person's soul.    

    

At this moment, Wang Xiao was also able to deduce one thing, so he said to Lver: "Lver, maybe if we want to leave this Misty Forest area, we need to be like that crazy expert, and normal people cannot leave this place."    

    

Lver shook her head: "Idiot, could it be that you want to become a lunatic? I do not want to be like this, if I have to become a lunatic in order to leave this place, I would rather be trapped here forever."    

    

Wang Xiao explained: "Lver, of course I didn't mean that. What I mean is, if we don't use our eyes to look at the road, if we don't use our common sense to judge what we see, we might actually be able to walk out of here."    

    

Lver looked at Wang Xiao curiously. She indeed couldn't understand what Wang Xiao had said, because a normal person would not need to think like a normal person and they wouldn't need to judge their surroundings using the environment that a normal person would see. Normal people were normal people, completely different from those crazy people. Even if a normal person pretended to be crazy, thinking and judging was normal.    

    

"Could it be that you can do this kind of experiment?" Lver asked.    

    

"No." Wang Xiao was discouraged.    

    

"Then why are you still talking nonsense." Lver rolled her eyes at Wang Xiao in annoyance.    

    

He thought that Wang Xiao would probably be able to do it after saying so much, but he never thought that Wang Xiao would actually be unable to do it.    

    

Wang Xiao thought about how he had obtained the Ancient Times's secret art — — Reincarnation. One Thought Reincarnation was a powerful divine sense technique, different from other divine senses. Whether it was the Nine-dragon Qigong that Wang Xiao cultivated or the sacred arts that the other experts cultivated, they all needed to absorb spirit energy, absorb it into the Qi Sea, and then convert it into attack power.    

    

Amongst these type of supernatural powers, there were some that were extremely powerful and had the power to destroy the heavens and earth. However, once one was severely injured, or exhausted, and their Genuine Qi was exhausted, they could not use any powerful supernatural abilities. This was a sacred art for consciousness. Even if he was severely injured, as long as he was conscious, he would be able to use this formless and powerless sacred art to attack his opponent.    

    

Wang Xiao wanted to use his mind reincarnation and his consciousness to observe this area of Misty Forest to find a way out. Previously, he had been trapped here with Lver, and after walking for a few days, they had returned to the starting point. Although Wang Xiao had just received One Thought Reincarnation for a short while and was still unable to unleash a strong consciousness, if he were to use it now, he would probably be able to benefit from it.    

    

Lver sat right next to the bonfire in disappointment. She was getting more and more impatient and anxious; she had already been trapped here for many days and didn't know when she would be able to leave. She held the red Divine Monarch Ochre Whip, looking worried. She really wanted to leave this place as soon as possible, and when she returned to the sect, she would personally hand over the Divine Monarch's Ochre Whip to the sect master.    

    

The sect master had done a great service to her. Not only had he taught her divine abilities and secret arts, he had also treated her like his own daughter. If it weren't for the sect wholeheartedly grooming her, she wouldn't have achieved what she had achieved today. But what Lver was worried about was, although she had obtained the Divine Monarch's Ochre Whip, he might not be able to leave this place. She would be trapped here forever in the future.    

    

If they could not get out of this place, if they were stuck here for their entire lives, even if they obtained the Divine Monarch Ochre Whip, it would be of no use at all.    

    

Just as Lver was feeling disappointed and worried, Wang Xiao suddenly said to her: "Lver, I might be able to find a way to get out of this fog."    

    

"Seriously!"    

    

Under her excitement and joy, Lver looked at Wang Xiao with her clear eyes. She didn't know why, but she felt that she might be able to trust Wang Xiao. If someone else said something like that, she would probably not believe it, but towards Wang Xiao's words, Lver trusted him a lot, because she knew that Wang Xiao would definitely not lie to her.    

    

"I'm not sure, but I do have a good chance." Wang Xiao said in a serious tone.    

    

Lver said: "Idiot, it can't be that you want to pretend to be crazy, right? This is useless, because you are a normal person.    

    

Wang Xiao said: "Lver, please give me a few hours, I need some time to prepare."    

    

"Fine." Lver nodded.    

    

"For the next few hours, you must not disturb me or talk to me." Wang Xiao planned to cultivate reincarnation cycle for a while. The ability was entirely related to the cultivation of his mind and thoughts, so he could not be disturbed. This was a sacred art entirely focused on cultivating one's mind and thoughts. Even if one was the slightest bit disturbed by the outside world, once one became distracted, it was likely that serious consequences would occur.    

    

It was Wang Xiao's first time cultivating this kind of ability, so he was a little afraid. After all, he had never cultivated this kind of ability before, so he was not confident about it. If not for the fact that he really wanted to leave this place, Wang Xiao would never be in a hurry to cultivate his thought reincarnation, and would need to study it properly for a period of time.    

    

Lver was disdainful: "Idiot, don't worry, I won't disturb you, and will absolutely not talk to you. Who would want to talk to a idiot like you?"    

    

Wang Xiao was a little embarrassed. Lver was serious, he always liked to call him an idiot. But seeing her Bottomless Abyss, she had to suffer through countless hardships just for herself, so Wang Xiao did not mind.    

    

Because sshe didn't want to disturb Wang Xiao, after Lver got up, he walked towards a big tree, and then sat down and rested. Although she did not know what Wang Xiao was planning to do, nor did she know what method Wang Xiao was going to use to leave this place, Wang Xiao at least had confidence in himself. Even if there was only a sliver of a chance, Lver did not want to miss it.
