After picking up his sister, Brother Jin gave her his life

Chapter 355: Protection of Dark 1

Little Chengcheng ran over and hugged the elder tightly, tears streaming down her face again: "Elder, I will miss you."

The elder of the clan patted little Cheng Cheng's back gently and said, "Be good, Cheng Cheng. Be obedient."

Ming Nanjin walked up to the elders and bowed deeply: "Elders, take care."

The second elder stepped forward and held Ming Nanjin's hand: "Child, be careful on your journey."

The elder of the three tribes handed Ming Nanjin a package and said, "There are some food and daily necessities in it. Take them with you."

Ming Nanjin took the package and nodded: "Thank you, three clan elders."

Xiao Chengcheng wiped her tears and took Ming Nanjin's hand: "Brother, let's go."

Ming Nanjin took one last look at the elders, turned around and left with Xiao Chengcheng.

The elders stood at the door, watching their backs gradually walk away until they disappeared from their sight.

Ming Nanjin and Xiao Chengcheng's hearts were filled with sadness and reluctance, but they knew that there were more important things waiting for them to accomplish.

With the blessings and expectations of their elders, they bravely move towards the future.

Ming Nanjin, Jiang Shiyu, Jiang Shiwen, Yan Zeyu and Xiao Chengcheng left the Beiming old house. The ancient building carrying countless memories and emotions was gradually moving away behind them. They embarked on an unknown journey, and every step was full of uncertainty, as if the road ahead was hidden in a layer of mysterious fog.

When they passed through the mysterious and deep forest again, they all felt a little uneasy. This forest was like a huge maze, full of unknown dangers and challenges.

The forest was filled with moist fog, which was as thick as indissoluble milk, covering everything. The sun shone through the dense branches and leaves with difficulty, casting mottled shadows on the ground.

Those lights and shadows are like broken puzzle pieces, intermittent and looming.

The birds' calls seemed particularly abrupt in the silence, sometimes sharp, sometimes long, as if telling the mystery and danger of this forest.

Xiao Chengcheng held Ming Nanjin's hand tightly, and her small palms were slightly sweaty due to nervousness.

Her eyes were filled with curiosity and a hint of fear, and the fear flickered in her heart like a small flame.

Ming Nanjin comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, Chengcheng, your brothers will protect you." His voice was gentle but firm, trying to instill courage and strength in little Chengcheng.

Jiang Shiyu and Jiang Shiwen were on both sides of the team. Their eyes were as sharp as hawks, and they were vigilantly observing the movements around them.

Every shaking of a leaf and every swaying of a branch can make them highly alert.

Jiang Shiyu's hands unconsciously tightened around the sword at his waist, his muscles tense, ready to deal with any possible danger at any time.

Jiang Shiwen bent down slightly, keeping his body in a posture ready to sprint at any time, and his eyes kept moving through the woods.

Yan Zeyu walked at the end, holding a wooden stick tightly in his hand. He held the stick so tightly that his joints turned white from the force.

His eyes kept scanning behind him to make sure nothing was attacking him from behind.

At this moment, a deep roar came from the front. The sound seemed to come from an ancient beast, with endless majesty and anger.

Everyone's nerves were instantly tense and every hair stood up.

I saw a huge black bear slowly walking out of the woods.

Its huge body was like a small mountain, and every step it took made the earth tremble slightly.

Its fur is shiny black and its muscles surge beneath its skin, showing its great strength.

Its eyes flashed with ferocity, like burning charcoal, and the hot air exhaled from its mouth formed clouds of white mist, as if it were a demon walking out of hell.

"Everyone be careful!" Ming Nanjin shouted. His voice broke the brief silence, with a hint of nervousness and urgency.

Everyone retreated in hasty and chaotic steps. Little Chengcheng was so scared that he hid behind Ming Nanjin, his small body trembling constantly.

Ming Nanjin protected Xiao Chengcheng tightly behind him, not daring to take his eyes off the black bear for a moment.

At this tense moment, An Yi, who had been following them silently, stepped forward.

His figure was as swift as a ghost, and he rushed towards the black bear in the blink of an eye. His movements were light and agile, as if he had merged into the surrounding environment.

Several people were surprised to see An Yi appear. They thought An Yi had left long ago.

An Yi's movements were swift and decisive. He dodged the black bear's attack by leaning sideways. The black bear's claws swept past him with a whistling sound, just missing him by a millimeter.

He rolled over and came behind the black bear, his movements as smooth as flowing water.

The black bear turned around and pounced again, bringing with it a gust of wind. An Yi jumped up nimbly, grabbed a branch with both hands, flipped in the air, and landed steadily on the black bear's back.

The black bear roared angrily, the sound was deafening, and it twisted its body frantically, trying to throw An Yi off.

But An Yi grasped the black bear's fur tightly, and a dagger appeared in his hand, flashing coldly in the dim light.

He stabbed the black bear's neck with great speed and precision.

Blood gushed out like a red fountain, staining the surrounding grass red. The black bear struggled in pain, kicking its limbs wildly, stirring up pieces of dirt.

But An Yi was merciless and used force again, stabbing the dagger deeper into the black bear's body.

The black bear finally fell to the ground, made a dull sound, and stopped moving.

Everyone was stunned by An Yi's skill. Their eyes were wide open, their mouths slightly opened, as if they were frozen in that moment.

Xiao Chengcheng poked her head out from behind Ming Nanjin, her eyes full of admiration, and the light of admiration flickered in her eyes.

"An Yi, thanks to you." Ming Nanjin said gratefully, his voice full of sincerity and relief.

An Yi just nodded slightly, without any pride on his face. His expression was still calm, as if the fierce battle just now was just a trivial matter to him.

The group continued to move forward. The road under their feet became muddy because of the battle just now. Every step they took required a lot of effort. They had not yet completely calmed down from the encounter with the black bear just now, and they still remained highly alert.

Not long after we walked, we encountered another turbulent river. The river was roaring and the waves were hitting the river bank, making a huge noise. The river was like an angry dragon, rolling and roaring, which was daunting.

"The river is flowing so fast, how can we get across?" Jiang Shiyu frowned and said. He looked at the turbulent river, his heart full of worry.

Just when everyone was at a loss, An Yi walked to the river and observed the water flow.

His eyes were focused and calm, as if he was calculating something.

Then he cut off a few thick branches from the tree next to him, and the branches seemed to become the most powerful weapons in his hands.
