Chapter 115 Being Deceived
Time flies, and the next morning arrived. Golden sunlight shone on the earth, as if draping the whole world in a dazzling veil.
By this time, the three of them had already packed their belongings and stepped out of the inn with high spirits.
Xiao Bao, like a joyful little deer, eagerly took off with his tiny legs and ran forward at lightning speed.
As he ran, he would occasionally turn back and gesture with his bright, expectant eyes to the three people behind him, urging them to quicken their pace and keep up with him.
And so, the three of them followed this innocent, lively, and adorable child, traveling through bustling and noisy towns.
Then, Xiaobao led them into a quiet grove of trees.
A light mist hung in the air, and the light dimmed.
Suddenly, Xiao Bao stopped and pointed to a cave under a huge ancient tree in front of him.
Huan Yuechu and the others cautiously approached the cave entrance and faintly heard a faint crying sound coming from inside.
Xiao Bao shouted "Mother!" and rushed into the cave.
Upon entering, the group discovered a woman trapped within a magic circle.
Huan Yuechu examined it carefully and found that the formation was quite complex.
Xu Yan and Wen Xingyu searched the surrounding area for clues to solve the problem.
Huan Yuechu then tried to use her own spiritual power to attack the formation, but was repelled.
Just as they were worrying, Xiao Bao quickly ran to the center of the formation.
Huan Yue wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
Xiao Bao stood in the center of the formation, his body radiating a soft light that wrapped around the formation like silk threads.
It turns out that Xiao Bao is not an ordinary child; he was born with special abilities that can counteract this evil formation.
As Xiao Bao released his power, the formation gradually loosened and collapsed.
The trapped woman broke free and hugged Xiao Bao tightly, bursting into tears of joy.
The woman looked gratefully at Huan Yuechu and the others, explaining that she had accidentally offended an evil sorcerer, which was why she was trapped in this formation.
Huan Yuechu and the others said it was just a small favor.
But at that moment, dark clouds suddenly gathered outside, and the earth, which had just calmed down, darkened again.
When the group stepped out of the cave, they saw an evil sorcerer appear in mid-air, roaring with a furious expression.
"How dare you ruin my plans! No one will leave here alive today!"
Huan Yuechu stood fearlessly alongside Xu Yan and Wen Xingyu.
Wen Xingyu couldn't help but sneer, "You evil person, all you do is use underhanded tricks, what right do you have to be so arrogant here?"
Enraged, the evil sorcerer unleashed bolts of black lightning that struck the crowd.
Huan Yuechu formed hand seals and chanted incantations. An ice wall rose from the ground, blocking part of the lightning.
Wen Xingyu swung the long whip in her hand, the tip of the whip creating gusts of wind as it whipped towards the sorcerer's legs.
The evil sorcerer snorted and pulled a mirror from his sleeve. The mirror emitted a bright light that neutralized the attacks from the ice wall and the whip.
Then he chanted a spell, and the ground cracked open, from which many skeleton soldiers crawled out.
Huan Yuechu frowned and shouted at Xiao Bao, "You all need to hide!"
Then she clasped her hands together, her whole body radiating powerful spiritual energy, and shouted, "Light to extinguish demons!"
A holy white beam of light shot towards the skeleton army, instantly turning them into dust.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xu Yan gripped her sword and unleashed her strongest attack, striking the mirror directly. The mirror shattered, and the sorcerer suffered a backlash and coughed up blood.
The three pressed their advantage and eventually annihilated the evil sorcerer.
However, just as they turned around to look for Xiao Bao, there was nothing there; Xiao Bao was nowhere to be seen!
"Xiao Bao... Xiao Bao!" Huan Yuechu called out Xiao Bao's name, but after calling several times, she still received no response.
A sense of foreboding gradually rose in her heart, and only then did she realize that she had been deceived by that woman!
Anger surged into her heart instantly, and Huan Yuechu trembled with rage, slamming her fist hard against the wall beside her.
"Sister Yuechu, what should we do now?" Wen Xingyu asked anxiously.
Huan Yuechu took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.
She composed herself and began to calmly analyze the current situation.
"In my opinion, Xiaobao and that woman shouldn't have gone very far. Let's hurry and head in that direction to look for them." With that, she strode forward without hesitation.
Seeing this, Xu Yan and Wen Xingyu quickly followed Huan Yuechu closely.
The three of them hurried along the winding forest path, constantly searching for Xiao Bao's whereabouts.
Not long after, a faint, extremely soft sobbing sound reached Huan Yuechu's ears.
She rushed forward quickly, and after seeing who it was, she quietly approached, only to find that the woman was carrying Xiao Bao and running away, while Xiao Bao was crying and struggling.
Unable to bear the crying any longer, the woman roared, "Stop crying! If you keep crying, don't blame me for hitting you. If someone hadn't wanted to spare your life, I would have already..."
Huan Yuechu and the others were filled with doubt and anger upon hearing the woman's words.
Huan Yuechu rushed forward and blocked the woman's path, questioning her.
"Who exactly are you? Why did you lie to us? And who sent you?"
Seeing that she could not escape, the woman's face turned ferocious, and she said viciously, "You and this brat mistook me for someone else first. Moreover, you have ruined so many of my plans. I originally wanted to use that witch to control the villagers and then use that evil sorcerer to get rid of you, but I didn't expect you to be so difficult to deal with."
Wen Xingyu was furious. "You're so vicious, using a child like this. Aren't you afraid of retribution?"
The woman sneered, "This is what this little brat deserves to suffer, what's it to you?"
Xu Yan drew her sword, saying, "I will not let you escape today."
"Don't come any closer, or I'll kill him." With that, the woman gripped Xiao Bao's neck tightly.
Huan Yuechu hurriedly raised her hand to stop Xu Yan, her eyes fixed on the woman, and said slowly, "If you let him go, we can let bygones be bygones."
The woman burst into laughter, "Do you think I'm stupid? If I let him go, you definitely won't let me go."
Xiao Bao's face flushed red, and she said with difficulty, "Sister, save me."
Huan Yuechu was extremely anxious and suddenly came up with a plan.
She quietly channeled her spiritual power, condensing it into a phantom image of a small animal in her palm.
"Look what this is?" Huan Yuechu deliberately tried to attract the woman's attention.
As expected, the woman was distracted and looked away. In that instant, Huan Yuechu unleashed a powerful wave of spiritual energy, which struck the woman's wrist precisely.
The woman, in pain, let go, and Xiao Bao seized the opportunity to break free from her embrace and pounce on Huan Yuechu.
Huan Yuechu took the opportunity to hug Xiao Bao and whispered to comfort her, "Xiao Bao, don't be afraid, we will protect you."
