Chapter 134 - 134. Sudden Attack
"Xie Lan, take a look at that," Wan Lie exclaimed.
Immediately Fu Xie Lan's eyes moved to follow the young man's index finger.
There are three paths with different directions.
"What's with that?" asked Fu Xie Lan.
"Which path will we use?"
"It's up to you," said Fu Xie Lan.
"Huh?"
"All paths are the same, they will still lead us to human territory," explained Fu Xie Lan.
This is just her guess. The forest of the Zu kingdom is one of the resources of the kingdom, of course, many people are work in it. If you think about it using logic, they will certainly choose to go through a road with access that is a shorter distance from where they live to save time, right? After all, where else would that road lead beside the human race? There were no other races in that place other than the humans themselves.
Humans race in this current life don't believe in any other race besides themselves. In the past, there were various kinds of stories handed down from the royal ancestors about creatures who had powers and were certainly very different from them. But nowadays, these stories have turned into mere hoaxes and are only considered as myths or fairy tales.
It's all caused because the lifespan of each human being is very short, the average is only around 40-60 years and then die. Although during their lifetime, they had met one of the immortal beings, their very shortage made them unable to transmit or tell the experiences they had directly experienced continuously to all their descendants. As a result, the fact of the existence of races other than humans was forgotten.
Fu Xie Lan decided to go first, leading the way, past Wan Lie. While the others just followed.
The air temperature slowly began to change, the sounds of night animals from time to time began to be heard. The sun's light had disappeared and maybe in a few minutes, the whole land turned dark. The shadow of the crescent moon seemed to be getting clearer on the horizon as if it was preparing to show off its splendor.

The four of them continued to walk without stopping or slowing down in the slightest, with the moonlight not too bright they penetrated the darkness of the night.
Fu Xie Lan's steps suddenly stopped, her eyes gleamed when she is seeing a light emanating from the bonfire that was about tens of meters from her position.
Only a few minutes, then She drew near to the bonfire.
A wooden hut was right next to the bonfire. It looks like someone is inhabiting the old hut.
Fu Xie Lan approached, followed by the other three.
When they were a few meters away from the old hut, suddenly a flash of shadow rushed towards Fu Xie Lan with a very fast movement. Even those who saw it were unable to judge what that person looked like due to his/his speed that was matching the movement of several immortal creatures.
Fu Xie Lan reflexively lowered her head then took a step forward and then turned around, trying to keep up with the person's movements. Armed with martial arts skills when she was an agent in her previous organization, Fu Xie Lan managed to dodge unharmed, and in return, the girl attacked that people back.
As the battle ensued, Wan Lie, Ju Xian, and Xue Ning took a few steps back to give the two people wide access.
There wasn't any mana or magic, but the battle that took place could give an idea of how strong the two of them were. The speed and reflexes of their respective bodies seemed even and until the battle lasted several minutes, neither of them had even been an injury.
Not a sound escaped the lips of the three people who were observing the battle, all of them were silent. Holding their breath while seeing the speed of the two people who are still fighting.
'Is this what fighting in the human territory is like?'
Everyone was almost thinking the same thing, Fu Xie Lan didn't use any Mana but was still able to dodge and counterattack that person. Come to think of it this was the first time for them to see Fu Xie Lan fight someone without using the mana in her body.
Even so, the battle that was unfolding before their eyes, was somehow like witnessing the battle of two wizards with second-rate mana.
The speed of the movement of the two is getting faster, and can't even be seen by the naked eye, only a few beats can be heard, the sound of the wind blowing, the surface of the ground that is scattered due to the air pressure created by the two of them is so great, to be scattered in the night air. Watching Fu Xie Lan fight someone made Wan Lie and the others not feel worried. The thought that a weak human was trying to fight a person who turned out to be a very powerful mage kept them calm and waited patiently for the fight to end.
"Who do you think that person is?" asked Xue Ning suddenly turning to Ju Xian.
"Human."
"Yes, I know the person is human, my question is a person an old man? A young man? Or a woman?"
The one who was asked just shrugged his shoulders as a sign that he didn't know either.
"Hmm, if I may guess, I think the person is a very young man. You see, his movements are so fast that even the three of us can't see clearly what that person's face looks like.
Wan Lie and Ju Xian were silent hearing Xue Ning's words, in their hearts, they slightly confirmed the girl's words.
BOOOMMMMMM...
An explosion occurred and managed to distract the three of them.
The fight stopped, the dust blocking their view gradually began to lessen.
But still not revealing the forms of the two people who fought just a moment ago.
"Hahaha."
The sound of laughter that sounded so loud and echoed managed to distract Wan Lie and the other two people, to find a figure standing on a tree branch right next to the hut, it was just an old man with a slightly bent body, one hand holding a stick almost equal to his height. "I haven't found anyone who can match to me in a very long time, hahaha," said the old man again.
Wan Lie's eyes scanned the place around them, finding Fu Xie Lan standing straight with her clothes still intact, causing the man to sigh of relief.
Previously, upon hearing the explosion, the calm feeling everyone felt instantly turned into worry.
Fu Xie Lan was not far behind them, standing staring at the old man who had fought with her earlier.
The three of them frowned almost simultaneously, they didn't feel Fu Xie Lan's movement at all, and the girl was already behind them.
Without waiting long, the three of them immediately approached Fu Xie Lan.
Simultaneously with them, a small creature also immediately ran from the side and jumped onto Fu Xie Lan's shoulder.
During the fight, Hao's body was blown away, and when the movements of the lady and the old man became more and more intense, He afraid that he might become a hindrance, so he decided to stay a little away and stay where he thought was secure, waiting for the fight to end.
