Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 195 Division of Troops

At dawn, the sky was just beginning to show a faint light.

On a wide official road, two figures were staggering and running. Their rapid and heavy breathing was particularly clear and audible in the dead silence.

Li Zhi and Wang Yang both looked anxious and breathless, but they did not dare to stop.

The wound on Wang Yang's abdomen, which had just stopped bleeding, suddenly opened again. Blood gushed out continuously as Wang Yang ran. Soon, the blood dyed Wang Yang's white robe into a shocking scarlet color.

Suddenly, Wang Yang's feet went weak, and he fell forward uncontrollably, falling heavily to the ground. His face was frighteningly pale, his lips were bloodless, and his eyes were dull.

When Li Zhi looked back, he knew that this was caused by excessive blood loss. If he continued to let it go, Wang Yang would probably die from excessive blood loss before he could reach Linjiang City.

Li Zhi hurriedly helped Wang Yang up, then took out a pill from his arms and quickly stuffed it into Wang Yang's mouth.

After Wang Yang swallowed the pill, he said weakly: "I can't walk anymore, you go first... Don't worry about me..."

Hearing this, Li Zhi could not help but frown, and his face became extremely solemn. He knew that if he left Wang Yang behind, Wang Yang would be doomed.

Li Zhi subconsciously looked back, but the place was actually completely out of sight.

Just a while ago, Li Zhi and Wang Yang were frightened by the huge and strange tree and ran away in a hurry. But before leaving, Li Zhi left a mosquito demon there to watch over them.

However, the mosquito demon died not long after Li Zhi and his companions left. From the information the mosquito demon transmitted before its death, Li Zhi vaguely saw a figure that looked like a small mountain.

It was this figure that caused the Mosquito Demon to instantly explode and die after just a glance at it.

Although this was the only information the mosquito demon conveyed and no other information was transmitted, Li Zhi still deeply felt an extremely strong and fierce life-and-death crisis.

Just as Li Zhi was hesitating, there was a sound of horse hooves in the distance, and the sound was getting closer and closer. The clattering sound of horse hooves seemed particularly abrupt in this silent atmosphere.

The sudden sound of horse hooves did not surprise Li Zhi, but instead made him look delighted. Because Li Zhi discovered through the mosquito demon's vision that the people riding horses were Erniu and Xu Zhen.

It turned out that Erniu and Xu Zhen woke up from their sleep in the middle of the night last night, but were surprised to find that Li Zhi and the others were gone. Recalling what Li Zhi and the others had said about Pei Xiucai during the day, they realized that something was wrong.

So, fearing that something might happen, they did not dare to delay for even a moment and hurried over on horseback.

Soon, Erniu and Xu Qing rode their horses at full speed and arrived at where Li Zhi and the others were.

When the two of them saw Wang Yang's miserable state, they couldn't help but be shocked. You know, among the five of them, Wang Yang and Li Zhi have always been the strongest, but now Wang Yang has ended up in such an embarrassing state, they are a little bit unbelievable.

The two men quickly dismounted, and then anxiously asked what had happened.

But now the situation was urgent, and Li Zhi knew that there was no time to waste, so he couldn't explain everything to them in detail. He could only give them a general description of the situation, and then let them help Wang Yang onto the horse.

Li Zhi looked at the two of them solemnly, and said firmly: "You take Wang Yang back to the city to heal his wounds immediately, and I will choose another route to go forward. Let's go our separate ways!"

Li Zhi knew that if they were being targeted by a terrifying existence, the best way to deal with it was to disperse. In this way, no matter what happened later, there would always be a group of people who would survive by chance, and not everyone would die.

Moreover, if they walked separately, it would be able to confuse them to some extent. Perhaps, it would make it difficult for the terrifying existence watching from the dark to accurately judge their whereabouts and intentions.

When Erniu heard Li Zhi's words about dispersing the actions, he immediately said, "Then I'll go with you!"

Although Erniu's tone was firm, Li Zhi decisively shook his head to refuse, and said solemnly: "It's not necessary, just take good care of Wang Yang!"

Li Zhi knew that it was far less convenient to take Erniu with him than to act alone. Moreover, Wang Yang was seriously injured at the moment, so it was urgent for Erniu and Xu Zhen to take Wang Yang back to the city as soon as possible.

After saying that, Li Zhi turned around and left without any hesitation.

Erniu looked at Li Zhi's receding back, his eyes full of hesitation. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Xu Zhen. Xu Zhen glanced at Li Zhi who had already walked away and said, "Listen to him, hurry up, Wang Yang is seriously injured, we can't delay any longer!"

Erniu glanced at Wang Yang, who was lying on the horse's back and had lost consciousness. He understood that the situation was critical and there was no time to lose. He gritted his teeth, turned around and quickly got on the horse, and then he and Xu Zhen rode back to the city at full speed.

 …

Just after Li Zhi and the others separated, the great demon Black Mountain, who had been tightly locking onto their aura, suddenly flashed a look of surprise in his eyes. Then, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly and muttered to himself jokingly: "Humph, you are so ignorant. Do you think you can hold me back by dividing your forces like this?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a thick black fog suddenly surged around him, carrying a chilling aura. The black fog seemed to have life, violently rolling and twisting, constantly changing shape. Not long after, it actually changed into a human figure.

However, the transformed human form was not the same as Heishan. Compared with Heishan's original huge body, this transformed human form was much thinner, and had beautiful curves and well-proportioned body, clearly the body of a woman.

Heishan raised his eyes slightly, and the female body transformed from the black mist seemed to have received an order and instantly followed the direction where Li Zhi left, while Heishan himself walked slowly towards the direction of Linjiang City.

As he walked, he said leisurely, "The Fantasy World Tree actually collapsed. The things that the King of Chu asked me to do were not done well. If I go back like this in disgrace, won't they laugh at me to death? Forget it, since I have already eaten the people of the city given by the King of Chu, I might as well help him massacre the city as compensation..."

At this moment, the voice he made was no longer the strange sound of a man and a woman, but a pure male voice with a deep and fierce tone.
