The White-Bone Demon of the Farm is as rich as a country

Chapter 324 Suzaku

As they moved forward cautiously, the birds and animals that were originally quietly roosting or foraging suddenly became manic as if they had received some strong stimulation.

They opened their sharp claws, bared their razor-sharp teeth, roared and hissed, and then surged towards them like a tide, with a momentum that seemed to engulf them completely.

Although they were not too far from the huge and mysterious paulownia tree, how could humans' two legs possibly outrun birds and beasts that had four strong long legs and two wings that could fly freely in the sky?

In the blink of an eye, Ru Yue and her group were surrounded by dense swarms of birds and beasts from all sides, making it impossible to get out.

Looking at the ferocious beasts with bared fangs, hideous faces and so close to her, Ru Yue's heart instantly rose to her throat.

At the critical moment, she once again remembered her magical space.

With this special ability, she is fully confident that she can protect herself and successfully escape from danger.

As she glanced at the many guards who were guarding her closely, she couldn't help but feel a wave of conflict: If she just hid away in the space, what would happen to these loyal guards? Was she really going to watch them perish before the beasts' eyes?

At this moment, Chu Ning'an, who had been silent all this time, suddenly shouted without any warning: "I'll stop these beasts, you go find Ah Ling!"

This sentence was like a thunderclap exploding in everyone's ears. Others might not understand it for a moment, but Ru Yue immediately understood the deep meaning of his words - he wanted her to take advantage of the chaos to find an opportunity to get into space and avoid danger.

After all, for her who possesses spatial abilities, these ordinary beasts pose no threat at all.

Facing Chu Ning'an's proposal, Ru Yue shook her head without hesitation and answered firmly: "No! I can't leave you alone!"

Her beautiful face now looked particularly resolute and moving with firm determination.

Chu Ning'an stared at Ru Yue's stubborn face and sighed inwardly. He knew Ru Yue was kindhearted and would never abandon her companions to escape alone. But the situation was so dire that they couldn't afford to hesitate for even a moment.

Chu Ning'an quickly glanced at the flock of birds and beasts around him that were eyeing him hungrily, and found that these beasts were approaching step by step, obviously not intending to give them any chance to breathe or think of a countermeasure.

A bloody and cruel life-and-death struggle is about to begin...

Chu Ning'an didn't have time to explain. He held Ru Yue's soft little hand tightly, and instantly mobilized all his internal strength. He swung her like a cannonball and threw her far away towards the sycamore tree not far away.

"Don't worry about me, just go!" Chu Ning'an shouted loudly, his voice echoing in the silent valley with a hint of determination and firmness.

Ru Yue had never expected Chu Ning'an to do this and was completely stunned.

Before she could react and steady herself, she couldn't help but look behind her.

The man who had always been by her side and cared for her was now facing a group of ferocious beasts together with the guards, fighting fiercely with them without fear.

"No, Chu Ning'an!" Ru Yue shouted at the top of her lungs, tears streaming from her eyes like a dam bursting.

However, at this time, Chu Ning'an had already devoted himself to the battle and had no time to pay attention to her shouts.

Under the powerful influence of Chu Ning'an's inner strength, Ru Yue fell heavily under the sycamore tree. She felt a sharp pain in her chest, a sweet taste in her throat, and a mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out, splashing onto the thick trunk like a bunch of blooming red plums.

At this moment, an extremely dazzling white light suddenly flashed.

The beasts that were originally biting madly seemed to have seen an extremely terrifying scene. They stopped their actions, stared at the paulownia tree with wide eyes in horror, and dared not move.

Then, they all turned around at the same time and ran away desperately, as if there was some terrible monster chasing them.

In an instant, the entire valley was engulfed in a deafening roar. The earth-shaking sound resounded through the sky, making people tremble with fear.

The billowing dust could not be seen clearly in the pitch-black night, but everyone present could deeply feel the suffocating sense of oppression, as if the end of the world was approaching.

Not long after, the deafening roars and growls that were once heard one after another gradually quieted down until they finally disappeared completely.

The prince and the people around him looked at each other in bewilderment, their minds filled with confusion and puzzlement: Just moments before, when life and death were at stake, how could these ferocious beasts suddenly retreat like a tide? What mysterious force or special reason could have driven them?

At this moment, Chu Ning'an suddenly seemed to remember something important and shouted, "Ru Yue!"

This sudden roar was like a thunderclap, instantly waking up everyone who was still immersed in shock.

They all woke up as if from a dream, and realized that Princess Xihe - also known as Ru Yue - was in danger!

Chu Ning'an didn't dare to delay for even a second. He ran anxiously towards the big tree where Ru Yue had just hidden.

However, when he ran to the tree panting, he found that there was no one there, and there was no trace of Ru Yue.

......

Suddenly, a dazzling white light streaked across the sky like lightning, instantly enveloping Ru Yue. The next moment, she felt her body suddenly lighten, as if gripped by a powerful and mysterious force, and then she was involuntarily hurtling towards an unknown direction.

After a long time, when the dizziness gradually subsided, Ru Yue finally woke up slowly.

However, to her surprise, it was not the natural recovery of consciousness that awakened her, but the scorching heat that came over her.

The heat was unbearable, as if the whole person was thrown into a huge furnace.

She slowly opened her heavy eyelids, and the sight that greeted her was astonishing—all around her was an endless expanse of blazing desert! The crimson sand gleamed blindingly under the scorching sun, and each grain seemed to emit a suffocating, scorching heat that seemed capable of drying everything in the world to ash.

"What the hell is this place? Could it be the legendary Flaming Mountain? Why is it so hot and unbearable?" Ru Yue muttered to herself as she struggled to stand up, trying to adapt to the harsh environment around her.

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded in her mind: "Sister, are you okay?"

Hearing this voice, Ru Yue's heart was filled with joy, and she quickly responded, "A Ling, it's you! Tell me quickly, do you know where we are now? How did I end up in this terrible place for no apparent reason?"

After a moment of silence, Ah Ling said, "Sister, to be honest, I don't know exactly where we are. But... I vaguely sensed a hint of Suzaku's presence."

Before he finished speaking, a flash of light passed by, and A Ling appeared in front of Ru Yue.

Seeing Ah Ling, Ru Yue's heart finally settled down a little. After all, as long as there was a place to hide, no matter how great the danger, she still had a chance of survival.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

A Ling stood quietly beside Ru Yue, cautiously scanning the completely unfamiliar area around him.

All that meets the eye is the seemingly endless stretch of red gravel and red sand. Apart from that, there is no sign of any other objects.

Time passed minute by minute, and after a long time, A Ling held Ru Yue's hand tightly and ran quickly in a certain direction without hesitation.

Along the way, A Ling would occasionally pause for a moment, but Ru Yue knew in her heart that he did not need to take a breather and rest because of exhaustion. Instead, it seemed more like he was trying to figure out the direction to go, or perhaps he was trying to feel the guidance of some mysterious power.

Immediately afterwards, A Ling took another step and ran forward like the wind.

In this way, after adjusting and changing the route countless times, the two finally stopped their hurried steps in front of a tall and majestic sand hill.

Ru Yue was so exhausted that she was out of breath. She gasped for breath and asked with a puzzled look on her face, "What the hell is this place?"

However, before she could finish her words, Ah Ling beside her suddenly said inexplicably: "Suzaku is here."

Ru Yue was shocked when she heard this, and quickly raised her head, looking at the towering sand mountain in front of her.

But no matter how carefully she looked, she could not find any trace of Suzaku.

Full of suspicion, she had no choice but to turn and look at A Ling, her eyes filled with surprise and confusion.

Ah Ling frowned and explained with a serious expression, "I'm not sure exactly where it is, but what is certain is that the aura of Suzaku is indeed emanating from here."
