Desperate Night

"Alright, let's try another way. Can you tell us which direction has the highest and most dense human population?" Ku Chan asked again.

The White Dragon raised its left wing and pointed west with the claws on its wing.

"The largest population is over there, at the location of the Louis Empire's capital city."

"Thank you." Ku Chan nodded. He picked up the baby, turned around, and climbed back into the safe house through the window.

As the baby entered the aura of the Elven Ancient Tree's Call that Yu Hong had cast, its complexion quickly improved, and it regained some color.

This characteristic's ability to heal wounds seemed particularly effective on the small infant.

In just a few seconds, the baby's heartbeat became much stronger.

Poof.

At this moment, the White Dragon flapped its wings and flew away, disappearing into the distance in the blink of an eye.

"If that child survives, remember to tell him that the one who saved him was the White Dragon Gafiliqa."

"Even though it uses a male voice, it's actually a female dragon." Ku Chan raised an eyebrow. He looked down at the baby. "Alliance Leader, what do we do with this child?"

"Exchange it for food and drink," Yu Hong replied.

"Huh?" Ku Chan and Yi Yi Chixiao were stunned.

"I mean, the child must have family, relatives. Let them repay us by sending us supplies and provisions," Yu Hong said speechlessly, forced to explain patiently.

"But we need to hurry, this place... I suspect it's going to be finished soon."

"."

The three recalled everything they had just experienced, and their expressions immediately turned grim.

"But don't worry too much. At least the new world is still intact so far, and the situation varies from person to person," Yu Hong added.

"Alliance Leader, can you say everything at once?" Ku Chan gasped. "But we can't move right now, how do we contact this child's relatives?"

"Aren't you able to move?" Yu Hong looked at the baby. The little guy was starting to become energetic, kicking his arms and legs, and opening and closing his mouth, as if wanting something to drink.

"I'll leave this task to you." He patted Ku Chan's shoulder.

The latter was taken aback. "Wait, isn't Yi Yi a woman? Why not let her do it?"

"She has Black Disaster radiation on her, and besides, would you trust her to take care of the child?" Yu Hong retorted.

"." Ku Chan looked at Yi Yi's expectant face, and for a moment, he couldn't say anything.

The group fell silent. In the end, Ku Chan held the baby and stood listlessly at the window, looking out at the lush forest, unable to speak.

"Go on, go take a walk," Yu Hong reminded him from behind.

"But what if we encounter another disaster like before? I'll definitely die outside," Ku Chan said seriously.

"Aren't you afraid of death?" Yu Hong raised an eyebrow.

"But I don't want to die so casually!" Ku Chan retorted.

"Then you can only continue to stay in the house," Yu Hong shrugged. "I'm going to cultivate. Call me when someone comes."

His figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

"I'm going to binge-watch dramas. Anyway, I don't have a body, I can't help. I'm just a useless old man," Chixiao sighed. He also flashed and disappeared.

He becomes useless when help is needed.

Yi Yi looked expectantly at the baby, then at Ku Chan.

"Come on~~" She opened her arms, making cooing sounds to the baby.

"." Ku Chan didn't move, still holding the child.

He was too kind after all.

Time passed as the baby gradually started to cry.

In the blink of an eye, after Ku Chan finally managed to feed the baby some water and soothe it.

It was dark outside.

The forest at night was pitch black, with only the circular moonlight shining down from the large hole that the White Dragon had made in the sky.

Chirp chirp.

Unidentified nocturnal animals made noises, and the rustling of grass could be heard from time to time.

The wind came in gusts, rhythmically passing through the trees and grass, making a whistling sound.

Ku Chan leaned against the table, wrapped in a thick blanket, his eyes squinting as he dozed off.

The baby was placed on his lap, and at this moment, it was urinating happily, the urine quietly soaking through his Taoist robe.

Just then, a faint sound of footsteps came from the distant forest.

The footsteps were very faint, almost impossible to hear without careful listening. They were mixed in with the sound of the wind, appearing and disappearing intermittently, extremely concealed.

In the dark forest, three figures wearing black cloaks were quietly passing through the forest in front of the Black Spirit.

The three were constantly paying attention to the surrounding situation, stopping and observing at the slightest sound. Therefore, their progress was extremely slow.

"This is the place. Duranne's life wave stopped here."

The black cloak in the middle suddenly stopped and said in a low voice in an unknown language.

"Search in a circular pattern," the leading black cloak said in a deep voice.

Hiss.

He pulled out a thin sword from his back, his face under the cloak stern and cold. It was the face of a middle-aged man in his forties, rough with wind and frost, with a lot of stubble left unshaven.

"No need to search, it's over there. I saw it..." The black cloak at the end of the group said directly.

He carried a longbow on his back and a quiver behind his waist, looking more like a battle formation archer than a forest archer.

The other two followed his direction and looked towards the safe house.

It was the only place with moonlight in the surrounding area.

A circular patch of moonlight illuminated a large black house that looked like a ship.

On the side of the house was a broken square glass window, inside which sat a strange man wearing a golden mask.

The strange man was dozing off, holding in his arms the target they were looking for - the baby Duranne.

The three carefully confirmed the situation, then quietly retreated and soon disappeared into the jungle.

Ku Chan, who was dozing off, opened his eyes a slit, glanced in the direction of the three, and continued to sleep.

On a vast, sharp, honeycomb-like snow mountain.

Giant white dragons flew and roared around the snow mountain, in the early morning.

Gafiliqa flapped her wings and glided into a huge dragon cave in the middle of the mountainside.

Inside the cave, two huge white dragons, three times her size, were lazily lying on their sides on huge ice-sculpted lounge chairs, quietly playing chess and chatting.

Seeing Gafiliqa return, the larger white dragon spat out a mouthful of snowflakes.

"Lika, is it done? That human baby?"

"Yes. I gave him to a group of people who seemed to be reliable and kind to protect him," Gafiliqa landed, jogged a few steps to reduce inertia, and then retracted her wings, standing firmly.

"Didn't I tell you to just put him down near a human road? You shouldn't actively meet and contact humans!" The big white dragon frowned.

"Alright Anxi, you are no longer the Dragon King, these things and these rules can no longer bind all of us white dragons," Gafiliqa said dissatisfied. "And humans are the same as us dragons, there are good people and bad people. We just need to learn to distinguish them."

"My memories of the past hundreds of years tell me that no matter good or evil, as long as you get involved with humans, you will encounter trouble," the big white dragon Anxi said seriously.

"I don't think so." Gafiliqa ignored him and walked towards the branch of the dragon cave.

"I have already killed that group of disgusting human mercenaries, but the group of humans I met, although they are good people, they are also in trouble and need help. They need supplies. Mom, can you move some food and drink from your place later? Anyway, there are only a few of them, and what we eat in one meal can feed them for ten meals. Giving them a little bit can last them a long time," Gafiliqa turned her head and asked the other big white dragon.

"Child, of course you can, but you will suffer a big loss sooner or later. As a true dragon, we can't be too kind..." The other big white dragon replied softly.

"But I am a true dragon, and also an arcane genius, why do I need to be afraid of the humans who are so weak and looked down upon in your mouths? I want to be kind, and I want to do whatever I want. That's my original intention to become stronger!" Gafiliqa said dissatisfied.

"And your statements and actions themselves contradict each other, ridiculously so," she said seriously. "I can see from their eyes that they are not bad people."

"Eyes can deceive even dragons. Back then..."

Anxi Dad wanted to say something, but Gafiliqa didn't bother to listen and walked straight to the depths of the dragon cave.

"You always don't believe me, you always think that everything I do is a problem, is wrong. I have grown up!"

She stomped heavily with extremely dissatisfied emotions, her tail sweeping left and right on the ground, smashing ice blocks and hitting the walls with a thud, and soon disappeared around the corner of the dragon cave.

Leaving two adult dragons speechless, they could only sigh.

"Shaning, she is becoming more and more disobedient," Anxi said.

"Perhaps we should respect her choices. As long as everything doesn't endanger her life, suffering a little loss is nothing," his wife Shaning said softly.

"The brilliance of the arcane genius makes her somewhat arrogant," Anxi shook his head, "Watch, she will suffer a big loss soon. I am already preparing to take action at a critical moment."

".Don't worry, even if she is deceived, her strength is still good," Shaning smiled.

"That's the only way to think about it."

Time continues to pass.

Soon the sky gradually brightened, approaching dawn.

About three hours later.

In the dense forest, a team of fully armed brown light armor soldiers slowly split the weeds and bushes, approaching the safe house.

In front of these soldiers were five swordsmen with shields.

Their shields were more than half a person tall and more than one meter wide, and were brown in color. The surface of the large shield was bound with thick cloth, cowhide, iron sheet, etc. It looked very tough.

This team of soldiers protected the two young richly dressed men and women in the middle, approaching the Black Spirit.

Several minutes later, they stopped ten meters away from the window of the safe house.

"It is indeed my bloodline, it is my child, and the purity of the bloodline is still very high." The richly dressed man in the middle closed his eyes as if sensing something.

"It seems Duranne is still safe, but, what's going on with this house? How could there be a house in this kind of place?" The richly dressed man frowned as he looked around.

Except for the route they had just come from, there were no traces of anyone walking in any other direction.

Whoosh.

At this time, Yu Hong walked out from the window of the safe house, stopped at the window, and first glanced at the baby on Ku Chan's body.

This guy didn't cry even though he peed a lot, just sat in place playing with his toes.

Yu Hong saw the group of people appearing outside the window.

"Can you understand me?" he asked in Night Tongue.

Seeing Yu Hong's height of two and a half meters, the group was somewhat wary.

But soon, the richly dressed woman in the middle gave an order, and the richly dressed man pointed to an old white-haired man in the team.

The old man took out a black-covered book tied to his waist, opened a page and tapped it lightly.

Chih.

A circle of invisible light spread out from the book.
