After being exiled with her husband and children, she returned with great power to rule the world
Chapter 161 Familiar Recipe and Taste
Huo Shuixian gradually stopped trembling in Huo Jianjie's arms. She was just about to tell Huo Jianjie the thrilling truth of last night.
Chiffon suddenly shouted, "Everyone, hurry up and eat some dry food. We have to set off soon!"
This sudden order was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly breaking the original rhythm and drawing everyone's attention. Huo Jianjie could only put aside his doubts temporarily and devote himself wholeheartedly to the preparations before departure.
Huo Shuixian's words were ruthlessly interrupted.
Chu Lingfeng stood quietly aside, watching all this coldly. His gaze inadvertently swept across Murong Ling'er's seemingly ignorant but actually intelligent face. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, outlining a meaningful arc, and then he slowly lowered his head.
The miserable howling from last night seemed to still echo in his ears. He had been listening to the fear and despair in that voice for half the night, and he felt creepy just thinking about it.
Everyone hurriedly finished their dry food, took a few gulps of water, and prepared to continue on their journey.
Murong Ling'er squatted down nimbly, gently carried Murong Chen on her back, and stepped out of the cave first with an upright posture. Her steps were firm and powerful, and her eyes revealed a fearless and courageous look.
When she passed by Huo Shuixian, Huo Shuixian was like a frightened rabbit. Her body shook violently involuntarily, and the dry steamed bun that she had finally got in her hand almost fell to the ground.
Murong Ling'er seemed not to notice Huo Shuixian's frightened look. She looked straight ahead and walked past Huo Shuixian with big strides without even giving her a spare glance.
Huo Shuixian looked at Murong Ling'er's receding back, tears welling up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to fall. She felt mixed emotions, fear for Murong Ling'er, and resentment and unwillingness for her own experience.
With the lessons learned from yesterday, and having witnessed Murong Linger's swiftness and courage in rescuing people yesterday, the prisoners' worries were alleviated a lot, and they naturally marched faster than yesterday.
However, Huo Shuixian was a completely different person. Last night's nightmare-like torture had left her physically and mentally exhausted. She felt like a puppet drained of energy. The horrific wounds on her body still ached, and her legs felt limp, as if she were stepping on cotton, unable to muster any strength.
Her head was dizzy, as if shrouded in a thick fog, and her thinking became slow. She was hungry, tired, weak, and in pain. She had no motivation to move forward. Every step she took seemed like an arduous struggle with her body.
Huo Jianjie knew very well that Huo Shuixian was in a very bad condition. He was worried that if he let her walk at the back of the team, something might happen, so he decided to put her in front of him so that he could keep a close eye on her at all times.
But what they never expected was that an accident happened when they were only halfway there. Huo Shuixian suddenly twisted her foot and fell straight down the cliff like a spinning top that had lost its balance.
"Narcissus!"
Huo Jianjie's eyes widened in horror, his heart suddenly sank, and he reached out to grab it without hesitation, but he was still a step too slow and only grabbed a piece of empty space.
"Ah ah ah ah..."
Huo Shuixian's hoarse screams instantly resounded throughout the valley. The voice was full of despair and helplessness, as if it was a wail coming from the depths of hell.
"cracking--"
Just as everyone was exclaiming, a long and sharp cry suddenly came from the sky. The sound pierced the sky, as if it was the call of the god of death.
"This cry, is it possible that something bad is going to happen again?"
"That sounds scary!"
Immediately afterwards, a big bird flew from the horizon like an arrow, at a speed so fast that it was dazzling. In the blink of an eye, the big bird had swooped down on Huo Shuixian who was falling rapidly. It turned out that the Golden Eagle King appeared again.
"Narcissus!"
"Second sister!"
"Wow! It's a golden eagle!"
"Why is this golden eagle here?"
"Could it be that they came specifically for us?"
"The golden eagle carried her off!"
"Oh no! What should I do?"
"This Huo Shuixian is so unlucky!"
As the Golden Eagle King grasped Huo Shuixian firmly in his claws and then rushed away like a gust of wind, exclamations suddenly rang out from the crowd. The voices were full of shock and fear, and everyone's face was full of disbelief.
"This golden eagle is so powerful!"
"We won't suffer the same fate, will we?"
"What can we do?"
Murong Ling'er witnessed this scene, sighed softly, and shook her head slowly. This scene, this plot, was so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar. It was like a farce being performed again according to the same script.
She couldn't help but wonder what Huo Shuixian was feeling at the moment.
Huo Shuixian, who was almost scared to death, couldn't help but recall the horrific scene of last night in her mind. The feeling of the Golden Eagle King's claws grabbing her body, and the despair of teetering in the air were so similar to the moment, even the places where the Golden Eagle King's claws grabbed were almost exactly the same.
Her heart was filled with fear and despair, and she didn't know if she could escape this time as luckily as she did last night.
Huo Shuixian only felt that her body was suddenly lifted up by a huge force, and the sharp claws pierced deeply into her skin. The piercing pain instantly spread throughout her body. She could no longer bear it and cried out in pain.
At this moment, her heart was completely filled with fear and panic, her eyes were full of despair and helplessness, as if the end of the world had come. She struggled desperately, but like an ant trying to shake a tree, she could not escape the iron claws of the Golden Eagle King.
The Golden Eagle King spread his huge wings and drew a nimble arc in the air. His speed was as fast as lightning. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from everyone's sight with Huo Shuixian. His sharp figure was like the god of death from the sky, cold and ruthless.
"Narcissus--" Huo Jianjie was heartbroken when he saw this scene. His voice echoed in the valley, filled with endless sorrow and despair. Tears burst out of his eyes uncontrollably and flowed freely down his cheeks.
Deng Lihua was so frightened that her face turned pale as paper and her body was trembling. The thrilling scene of herself falling yesterday emerged in her mind. She was secretly glad that the golden eagle king was not there at that time, otherwise she would have died by now and would not be able to stand here safely.
When she thought of this, her legs couldn't help but go weak. If there wasn't someone supporting her, she would have collapsed to the ground.
Just when everyone was convinced that Huo Shuixian was doomed and would surely die at the hands of the Golden Eagle King, Murong Ling'er handed Murong Chen to Chu Lingfeng without hesitation, saying briefly and forcefully, "Protect Chen'er."
Before she finished speaking, her figure flashed out like a ghost. She tapped the ground with her toes and rushed towards the direction where the Golden Eagle King disappeared like an arrow.
Murong Ling'er's sudden action instantly caused a burst of exclamations from the crowd.
"Look! Miss Murong is chasing after them!"
"Oh my god! Miss Murong's speed is as fast as a flying swan!"
"Can she save him? He's the ferocious Golden Eagle King!"
"Ling'er!" Huo Jianjie was extremely anxious when he saw Murong Ling'er chasing after him. He shouted loudly. His voice became hoarse due to excessive anxiety. He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, but he didn't feel any pain at all.
