Chapter 143 The Princess of the Daxi Dynasty.
Encountering such a strong enemy, a look of fear flashed across the leopard's eyes.
While staring at Lu Chen, the leopard kept retreating.
Like he was looking for the right moment to escape.
Lu Chen saw through it.
"How could I let you slip away so easily?"
When the leopard heard the sound, its eyes immediately narrowed into slits.
But before the leopard could react, the sword in Lu Chen's hand had already flown into the air!
With just one ordinary move, countless sword energies appeared in the sky!
The sword energy was swift and fierce, attacking the leopard directly!
At this moment, the leopard's body was still in the air, and it was too late to change its movements!
In the blink of an eye, dense sword energy pierced into his body!
Fortunately, the leopard was a high-level monster, and the sword energy did not pass through its body, but was absorbed by its fur!
Although there was a blood mist on his body, he was not killed.
Lu Chen was worried that the leopard would escape, so the moment his view fell to the ground, Lu Chen had already used his hand gestures to create a barrier, instantly trapping him in place!
"A flash of ice!"
In the blink of an eye, the ancient sword occupied the entire pupil of the leopard!
He wanted to hide, but the space around him had been sealed by Lu Chen!
There was no way to escape or hide, he could only watch helplessly as the ancient sword pierced into his head!
Then, the leopard fell to the ground as if it had collapsed.
Lu Chen's attacks were all done in one go.
Each of these actions only takes a moment.
At this time, the leopard was completely dead.
At this time, the woman next to her slowly opened her eyes.
When the woman saw the leopard pouncing towards her just now, she was completely in despair.
Knowing that there is no escape, just close your eyes and wait for death!
But when she heard the "thump", she didn't feel any pain, which surprised her.
Feeling that the danger she had imagined did not appear, the woman slowly opened her eyes.
In front of me is the back of a man.
There was a sword wound on the leopard's head, blood was oozing from the wound, and the body fell to the ground.
The woman breathed a sigh of relief.
It turned out that he was rescued by someone.
After recovering from her shock, the woman quickly got up from the ground and tidied her clothes.
Only then did Lu Chen turn around.
The two people looked at each other.
Lu Chen discovered that the girl in front of him was very beautiful, about sixteen or seventeen years old, and her figure was perfectly wrapped in a lush green gown.
In his hand he held a jade green sword, the material of which did not look ordinary.
Although the girl looked at Lu Chen with a somewhat panicked look, her clear eyes could not conceal the spirit within.
"Thank you so much for saving my life."
The girl bowed respectfully to Lu Chen.
Lu Chen: "You are safe now, leave quickly, it is very dangerous here."
Thinking of the scene she just encountered, the girl's heart was in her throat.
If someone else said this, the girl wouldn't take it to heart at all, but facing the man in front of her, the girl began to hesitate.
Thinking that it was this man who saved her, she spoke frankly.
"Thank you for your reminder, I have something very important to do right now and cannot leave for the time being."
After hearing this, Lu Chen lowered his eyes.
Since the other party is unwilling to leave, I will not say anything more.
This meeting was just an accidental encounter, just a coincidence, there is no need to talk about those insignificant things.
"In that case, please do as you please, young lady."
Lu Chen's expression was indifferent, and there was no warmth in his tone.
But this cool and distinguished facial features has already attracted the attention of girls.
Seeing that Lu Chen was about to leave, the girl hurried forward to catch up.
"My benefactor, could you please tell me your name? I, Rong Xueer, will definitely repay you in the future."
Lu Chen was stunned, and a barely perceptible shock flashed in his eyes.
Your surname is Rong?
Could it be related to the royal family of the Daxi Dynasty?
Unconsciously, Lu Chen looked at the girl in front of him again.
But Lu Chen just glanced at her twice.
Right now, he doesn't want to have anything to do with the Western Dynasty royal family.
"My benefactor, I am the princess of the Western Dynasty, Rong Xueer. I came to the forest this time because I have something very important to do."
"I wonder if you are willing to go with me?"
"Don't worry, benefactor. If you can get out of this forest safely, I will reward you handsomely!"
Rong Xueer called him "benefactor" all the time.
Lu Chen felt extremely uncomfortable listening to this.
This girl is really naive. Facing a stranger, she revealed her true identity in just a few words.
Is it true that you really have no vigilance at all?
Although he didn't want to pay attention to it, Lu Chen couldn't help but say something.
"Girl, you'd better be cautious when you go out. There's no need to explain your identity in such detail."
After hearing this, Rong Xueer was stunned for a moment, then she laughed happily.
"Thank you for your reminder, but I think you are a good person, unlike those evil people."
Lu Chen was speechless.
I was just giving her a reminder, but this little girl compared herself with those extremely evil people.
Without waiting for Lu Chen to speak, Rong Xueer asked again.
"So, would you be willing to go with me, benefactor?"
"I don't want to."
"Why? You just saved my life. If it weren't for you, I would have died in the mouth of that leopard."
Rong Xueer blinked and looked at Lu Chen in confusion.
Just now, it was indeed the man in front of me who saved me, but why did he suddenly become so indifferent?
This person has a weird temper that is hard to figure out.
“I don’t like traveling with people.”
Lu Chen's words were very straightforward and his rejection was thorough.
The reason is very simple.
The girl in front of her is a princess of the Western Dynasty. First of all, she doesn't want to have anything to do with the royal family of the Western Dynasty.
Secondly, I really like to be alone.
Besides, there is a girl next to him, which will cause a lot of inconvenience along the way.
Thinking of how Zhang Youcai once disguised himself as a woman and traveled with him, Lu Chen frowned again.
Since this girl dared to come to the forest alone, she should be sure that she could get out.
There is no need for me to cause more trouble.
After thinking this through, Lu Chen started to leave.
Rong Xueer hurriedly followed.
"Wait, I don't ask you to protect me, can we just move forward together?"
"You and I have different paths, so you don't have to do this, girl."
Rong Xueer took a step forward and stood in front of Lu Chen, sweat appearing on her forehead due to her anxiety.
"Tonglu, to be honest, I came to this forest to find the Green Grass for my mother, but the material is indeed too difficult to find."
"What's even more unfortunate is that we just encountered two leopards and our team was dispersed!"
"Now, as long as I can get out of this forest, my goal will be achieved. It doesn't matter what route I take."
Lu Chen coughed dryly.
Is this Rong Xueer really brainless?
I had made it very clear just now that I didn't want to travel with anyone, but she still followed me closely.
Also, just a moment ago, I had reminded myself not to disclose my identity information to others casually.
Without saying a word, he clearly stated the purpose of his coming to the forest.
The great Western Dynasty only produced princesses like this?
Lu Chen shook his head speechlessly.
"What's wrong? Was I wrong? I just want to get out now. I don't want to think about anything else."
While Rong Xueer was speaking, she did not forget to lift her clothes with her hands.
When I was fighting with the leopard just now, my clothes were torn into several pieces.
Although his life is no longer in danger, his clothes are torn and in disarray, which is still extremely embarrassing.
"There's no other way for you to communicate with the team?"
Rong Xueer shook her head.
"No, they were all there to protect me. There were so many people here, they probably didn't expect everyone to get separated."
Hearing Rong Xueer say this, Lu Chen was completely speechless.
An innocent princess and a group of silly guards actually came to the forest.
I really don’t know whether they are too optimistic about things or they have fallen into someone else’s trap.
"Okay, I've said what I need to say. Just agree to let me go with you. To be honest, I really don't want to become food in the mouths of these monsters."
Rong Xueer was telling the truth, and when she thought of the dangerous situation just now, she couldn't help but curl her lips.
Lu Chen looked ahead and finally nodded.
"Great, benefactor, what's your name?"
While asking the question, Rong Xueer jumped in front of Lu Chen again, her clear eyes blinking continuously.
Lu Chen hesitated briefly.
"Lu Yao."
Rong Xueer listened attentively, then muttered softly.
"Lu Yao is a nice name. I feel like I've heard it somewhere before, but I can't remember where it is right now."
After frowning and thinking for a while, Rong Xueer suddenly said, "I remember now. No wonder your name sounds so familiar to me. The first place winner of the Nine Suns Competition is Lu Chen. Your name is Lu Yao, so I think of you the same name."
Lu Chen raised his eyelids but did not continue the conversation.
The reason why I didn't tell Rong Xueer my real name was just to save some trouble.
After all, everyone knows about the Nine Yang Competition.
He even came out on top, which was obviously very eye-catching.
I didn't expect that just saying a random name would make Rong Xueer associate it with my real identity.
I really don’t know if this is a coincidence or if I just pronounced the name too nicely.
At this time, Rong Xueer's voice came again.
"Thank you, Brother Lu."
Lu Chen nodded, turned around, took out the leopard's demon pill with a dagger, and put it away.
"Your Highness, it is very dangerous to leave the forest. I hope you will be cautious."
Rong Xueer breathed a sigh of relief. After all, in this deep forest, if she met a bad guy, she could only blame herself for her bad luck.
But after hearing what Lu Chen said just now, Rong Xueer suddenly felt a sense of security in her heart.
"Thank you, Brother Lu. I will do my best to protect myself. It would be even better if we can meet someone who sees us on the way."
Lu Chen didn't want to stay here either, the smell of blood was too strong.
If nothing unexpected happens, other monsters will be attracted soon.
The best thing to do is to start as soon as possible.
Looking back at his surroundings, Lu Chen's gaze once again fell on Rong Xueer's face.
"Princess, where did you get separated just now?"
Rong Xueer pointed in a direction, "It's over there."
"Then let's go in that direction."
Lu Chen said as he walked forward.
Rong Xueer tidied up her tattered clothes with a look of embarrassment on her face.
But after taking a few steps, Rong Xueer suddenly felt unwell.
The panic just now, coupled with the physical exhaustion, has left his body very weak.
But Lu Chen had no intention of slowing down, so Rong Xueer forced herself to move forward.
The two people shuttled through the forest. While avoiding danger, Lu Chen was also looking for some signs.
Sure enough, it didn’t take long before Lu Chen discovered signs of fighting around him.
Rong Xueer saw the situation in front of her and spoke quickly.
"Benefactor, this is where we got separated."
Lu Chen observed the situation around him, "How many people are there among you?"
"There were three of them in total. I don't know where Uncle Zhang and Uncle Li ran off to."
Lu Chen frowned. According to Rong Xueer's identity, the two men should not abandon the princess.
"Look at the traces here. They should have run this way."
Having said that, Lu Chen continued to follow the trail.
Soon, Lu Chen saw bloodstains in front of him, so he stopped.
Lu Chen lowered his voice and looked at Rong Xueer.
"You stay here first, there's something wrong ahead."
Rong Xueer nodded, stopped following and stayed there.
Lu Chen lightened his steps and walked forward slowly.
Soon, Lu Chen saw another leopard corpse lying on the ground.
At the same time, there were two people lying on the ground!
Obviously, these two people are dead.
What Lu Chen couldn't believe was that a snow fox was eating the body of one of them.
This scene is not difficult to imagine. While these two people are dealing with the leopard, the spiritual beast Snow Fox appears.
The Snow Fox was very cunning. It took advantage of the two men's unpreparedness, ambushed them, and successfully killed them!
At this moment, the Snow Fox is enjoying the fruits of its hunting.
Although the Snow Fox is an ordinary spirit beast, Lu Chen does not dare to provoke it easily.
He held his breath and stepped back carefully.
Fortunately, he was far away from the Snow Fox and was not discovered by it.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Chen left quickly.
When he found Rong Xueer, he spoke hurriedly.
"Follow me, it's too dangerous here!"
Lu Chen ran away without saying anything.
Rong Xueer didn't know what was going on, but seeing that Lu Chen looked cautious, she had no choice but to follow him.
The two people walked quickly in another direction, one in front and one behind.
After finding a relatively hidden rock, Lu Chen came to the back and stopped.
Rong Xueer was panting and her face turned pale.
"Brother Lu, what happened?"
Lu Chen told Rong Xueer what he had just discovered.
After hearing this, Rong Xueer's face changed drastically and she spoke with horror.
"How could this be? Both of my uncles have reached the eighth level of foundation building. They shouldn't be unable to deal with a demon beast!"
Lu Chen nodded in agreement.
"Yes, I didn't think clearly just now why they didn't protect you, but chose to run away."
"Now I understand that they have discovered the Snow Fox."
"The two of them wanted to lure the spirit beast away, so they didn't show up to protect you. They were not killed by the leopard, but by the snow spirit fox."
