Chapter 195 Asharuya's Purpose

The sun set, and the already cloudy sky darkened completely. The people hiding in the dilapidated village also became nervous. They were constantly chased by the undead and had no choice but to go deep into the wilderness.

They finally managed to hurry on their journey during daybreak, but the gradually darkening sky filled the hearts of the ordinary people among them with fear. Having entered the village that had been attacked once by the undead, they dared not set foot outside of the village again.

"This is not a place to stay for long. Staying here will only lead to your own destruction!"

Zhang Xiaohou looked solemn as he looked at the villagers in the dilapidated village who were leaning against the low wall, and a trace of anger flashed across his face.

"Don't exaggerate. The undead here have already left. They must have gotten what attracted them here. We must rest quickly, otherwise we will be powerless to resist even if we encounter the undead!"

The ragged Hong Jun sneered. He was originally a recognized genius in several villages, but everything changed after Fu Da performed intermediate magic. The admiring eyes of the past had completely disappeared.

Even during the escape, he heard countless words praising Fu Da by comparing him to him. He was already furious in his heart. If he had not needed the help of Zhang Xiaohou, he would have taken action in secret.

He wants to see whether this fortune is great or not!
"That's right. The villagers are already very tired. They fled in panic last night and walked all day today. If they continue to travel overnight, they may not even have the strength to escape after encountering the undead!"

As the only surviving village chief among the several villages, Xie Sang spoke to Zhang Xiaohou. He understood one thing better than Hong Jun, which was the importance of Zhang Xiaohou.

"If it really doesn't work, you should hurry up and get to the ancient capital as soon as possible to get help. If you get there quickly, they should be able to collect the bodies for us!"

Xie Sang said this with a tired face, and a trace of guilt flashed across Zhang Xiaohou's face when he heard it. He had indeed thought of this before, but after hearing what Xie Sang said, Zhang Xiaohou still wanted to try his best to protect more people.

It must be said that the old ones are the wisest. Xie Sang saw through Zhang Xiaohou's character at a glance. As the saying goes, a gentleman can be deceived by tricks, and this is exactly what he meant.

If it was Xu Fan or Mo Fan who was here now, they would have probably taken action long ago. He would protect those who were willing to go, and those who were unwilling to go, would be left behind to feed the undead!
"Fu Da, you can't go alone. You should know that you were so badly injured at that time, but we saved you!"

Some villagers suddenly started to make a noise, and Su Xiaoluo behind Zhang Xiaohou also looked embarrassed.

"Everyone, let's take a rest first. If the undead really find this place, we can run away!"

Zhang Xiaohou sighed, changed his mind, and then found an open space to meditate. He had to recover his magic power as soon as possible to deal with the dangers that might arise at night.

Seeing that the only two mid-level wizards chose to stay to protect everyone, the villagers breathed a sigh of relief and went to find rooms to rest.

Compared to Zhang Xiaohou and other mages, they were the ones who needed to rest their spirits the most. The reason they were still alive after these two days of running was not because of how strong they were, nor because of how well Zhang Xiaohou and others protected them, but simply because they ran faster than others.

The undead did not have much intelligence. They would usually eat their prey on the spot after catching them. Only with the sacrifice of these people did they have a chance to escape.

"I'm sorry, I caused you trouble!"

Su Xiaoluo came to Zhang Xiaohou and said somewhat disappointedly that she had saved Zhang Xiaohou before not for Zhang Xiaohou's repayment, but now her kindness was forcibly used by the villagers to kidnap Zhang Xiaohou.

"It's okay, I will definitely protect you and rush back to the ancient capital!"

Zhang Xiaohou said firmly that although he had made the decision to stay and protect everyone, he also understood that he could not protect everyone, and he would only do his best.

The prerequisite for protecting the villagers is the safety of both him and Su Xiaoluo.

"Thank you!"

Su Xiaoluo sat directly next to Zhang Xiaohou, not caring about the wet ground, and leaned her head on Zhang Xiaohou's shoulder, letting out a barely audible sigh.

"What's your name?" Su Xiaoluo asked suddenly. The moment Zhang Xiaohou performed the intermediate magic, she knew what Zhang Xiaohou should be remembering.

Hearing Su Xiaoluo's question, a trace of confusion flashed across Zhang Xiaohou's eyes, then his facial muscles twitched, and his face was full of pain.

"Don't think about it anymore if it's so painful!"

Su Xiaoluo quickly hugged Zhang Xiaohou, and Zhang Xiaohou's shaking body slowly calmed down.

"My name is……"

Zhang Xiaohou did not give up thinking. Although it was very painful to recall the past, his intuition told him that there was something he had to recall!

"Zhang Xiaohou!"

In the darkness, Xu Fan spoke slowly, giving the answer for Zhang Xiaohou, but the only one who could hear it was Asharuya beside him.

"Did you find your friend?"

Asharuya glanced at Xu Fan's right hand which was still on her waist. She did not push Xu Fan away directly, but instead memorized Xu Fan's shadow information in her heart.

"I was so flustered all the way, but after seeing him I can finally relax!"

Xu Fan let out a long sigh and looked at Zhang Xiaohou who was snuggling with Su Xiaoluo with a hint of teasing in his eyes.

By bringing Zhang Xiaohou back to the ancient capital safely, he could also give an explanation to He Yu, but as for the extra Su Xiaoluo, Zhang Xiaohou would have to explain himself.

In fact, Xu Fan prefers Su Xiaoluo to stay with Zhang Xiaohou, but whether the two can be together depends on their fate.

"Your mission is accomplished. Looks like we have to go our separate ways!"

Asharuya had a complicated look on her face. She wanted to find out more information about Xu Fan, but now it seemed that she had no chance.

"What exactly is your mission? If possible, perhaps I can provide some help!"

Xu Fan smiled, and Asharuya was very cautious, and immediately realized that Xu Fan seemed to want to consume the small matter that was agreed upon.

"Shayuan, have you heard of it? I heard that someone has been in and out of the legendary Shayuan. I came here this time to look for relevant clues!"

"Although it is difficult, I don't think I need help. If I find that the timing is not right, I will get out in time!"

Asharuya stated her purpose, but also rejected Xu Fan's kindness.

"Really? That's a pity. I actually know a little bit about this!"

Xu Fan let go of Asharuya. His words made Asharuya a little confused about the truth.

"But I can remind you that even if there is a way to enter the Shayuan, not just anyone can do it!"
