blue whales under the stars

Chapter 21

The fire was bright all around, but Mu Ye's eyes were blurred.He blinked hard, reaching out his hands carelessly to wipe away the water stains in his eyes.The people around did not show a clear intention of blocking, and after confirming that his actions would not arouse more hostility to Bai Cang, Mu Ye ran over again in big strides.

He stretched out his hand but didn't dare to touch it, the soreness, regret and pain in his chest were entangled together, like a mess covered with dirt.Mu Ye was looking forward to seeing his blue whale early in the morning, but when he really saw it, he was in a daze but didn't know what he should do first.

In the end, it was Bai Cang who spoke out first, and said, "Good boy, I'm fine."

Mu Ye took a deep breath, barely suppressing the burning pain in his chest.He didn't dare to touch Bai Cang casually, for fear that he might accidentally touch the other's wound, so he could only look at the other's hands tied behind his back first.Bai Cang's hands were also stained with blood, and the dried blood looked rather scary. Mu Ye reached out to untie the black lump, but Bai Cang sideways avoided it.

"do not touch."

Mu Ye trembled uncontrollably, and stopped in a daze.

Bai Cang's position was not at the end of the line, there were some strangers behind them.Several people were watching them. Although they didn't make a sound, the pressure in the air never disappeared.Mu Ye lowered his hands and continued to walk forward with Bai Cang. There were these unknown people in front of him and not far behind him. They just walked silently, and the sight behind him was also real, with thorns on their backs.

Mu Ye walked a few steps, but still couldn't hold back, he asked Bai Cang hoarsely, "Brother...why did they tie you up?"

There was a reminder in his address, and Bai Cang turned his head to look at the other party. His gray-blue eyes were different from the blood stains on his body, and they were not stained with much dust.His voice sounded in good spirits: "Do you still remember the flame spirit beast we met? When I killed it, it was stained with the breath of the primordial beast, so their hunting arrows accidentally injured me. There are high-level primordial beasts nearby To upgrade, they have to take precautions against other primordial beasts."

Before Mu Ye fell into a coma, he clearly didn't see any flame spirit beasts, but he also knew that it was not appropriate to reveal Bai Cang's identity at this time, so Bai Cang used this to explain why he was injured by the hunting arrows.Mu Ye fell into a coma too early, and he didn't know what Mr. Lan Jing did afterwards. At this time, Mu Ye could only talk as carefully as possible, trying to disguise their identities as ordinary human beings.

Mu Ye sniffed, but his body was still tense: "They want to guard against Yuan beasts, why did they tie you up..."

Bai Cang said helplessly as he walked, "Who made me get shot by the hunting arrows?"

They talked lightly, and quickly walked to a flat open space.Some people went to pitch tents on the spot, apparently intending to spend the night here.Mu Ye looked around, and Sally and Oliver had already walked towards them.Mu Ye didn't know anything about this group of people, and they were the only ones who spoke. Sally greeted the people in front of her, and looked at Bai Cang again. Mu Ye looked up at Bai Cang beside him. , gritted his teeth, and ran directly in the direction of Sally.

He was like a trespassing little beast among these strangers, but for Bai Cang, Mu Ye forced himself to get rid of all the discomfort and helplessness when dealing with strangers.He ran to Sally and said "excuse me" quickly.

"That's my elder brother." Mu Ye pointed in Bai Cang's direction, with an unconcealable panic on his face, "He's injured, can you untie the rope on his hands?"

The eyes of several people turned around, making Mu Ye feel even more tingly.The identities of these people are obviously very different from those in the small town. Just judging by their demeanor, they don't look like ordinary people.

Sally looked at him, and said to several people, "Who tied him up this afternoon?"

A tall man with short black hair said harshly, "It's me."

Mu Ye hurriedly looked at the man, pleading.The tall man looked down at him, and said to the others: "Are you sure it's not it?"

Sally said: "He is the contractor of this kid. No matter how powerful the eighth-order primordial beast is, it is impossible to find a contract with someone as soon as it advances."

Mu Ye was taken aback when he heard the words. Hearing what he meant, they actually regarded Bai Cang as the advanced high-level beast.

After he understood the meaning, cold sweat covered his back in an instant.Judging from the identities and formations of these people, it is absolutely impossible that they want to cooperate with that eighth-order primordial beast.If they really took Mr. Blue Whale away as a high-level beast, they might not even have the ability to resist at all.

There was another thing that made him uneasy, Mu Ye didn't know what the contractor meant, he just said it based on what Bai Cang said before.Although now it seems that the identity he mentioned seems to be beneficial to prove that Bai Cang is not a primordial beast, but if this group of people really want to test it, Mu Ye can't produce any evidence.

All thoughts were only in the blink of an eye. After thinking about these things, Mu Ye felt that he had fallen deeply into a powerless swamp.

When encountering danger, Bai Cang's first thought was to protect him.

But what about himself?

His depleted body couldn't even use the healing technique, and he couldn't do anything.

The tall man's eyes swept over again, Mu Ye managed to calm his mind, and listened to him: "Has their relationship been confirmed?"

This time it wasn't Sally who answered, but another tall red-haired woman beside him said, "The smell of water element is almost overflowing from his body, can't you smell it?"

There were also weird expressions on the faces of the surrounding people, exactly the same as Sally's expression when he heard Mu Ye talk about the relationship with the contractor in the afternoon.The tall man frowned and said, "I did it at such a young age... What about the church's special regulations on minors, aren't they enforced?"

Everyone's eyes gathered, Mu Ye didn't understand, he was stunned.

Sally continued: "Oliver has checked, and he has no elemental fluctuations of his own, and his bone age is close to adulthood."

"Since it's a misunderstanding, let someone clear it up first, and continue to set up the formation at dawn tomorrow." The red-haired woman looked at Mu Ye, and said, "This kid is about to cry out of anxiety."

Another person on the side smiled and said, "Eileen, I didn't expect that after you went to St. Paul, you would also arouse your desire to protect. The dean is not in vain."

They were still talking about something, but Mu Ye couldn't wait any longer, he walked towards Bai Cang with the tall man, Mu Ye couldn't wait, said sorry in a hurry, and ran over by himself first.

It's just that when he ran to Bai Cang, the moment he turned around, a tall man was already standing beside him.

Mu Ye was anxious to see that Bai Cang didn't think about it, but Bai Cang, who had witnessed the opponent's movements, clearly sensed the fluctuation of the elements.

This is a high-level earth-type spell - walking fast on the ground.

The tall man's expression didn't move, he just raised his hand, and the black mess wrapped around Bai Cang's wrist scattered into foam and fell down rustlingly.It was only then that Mu Ye discovered that the black stain on Mr. Lanjing's body wasn't just dried blood, but some also fell from Bai Cang's body with the man's movements, and fell to the ground, turning into ordinary dust. .

All the restraints on his body were lifted, Bai Cang moved his wrist, and then directly reached out to hug Mu Ye who was beside him into his arms.His body was still stained with unclean dust and blood, and his whole body was not as clean and calm as before, but he was still gentle as always when he was with Mu Ye. Bai Cang gently pressed Mu Ye's soft side face, his face was black A bit of red dust stained the boy's face.He stretched out his hand again, and wiped the dirty place carefully.

Mr. Lanjing's familiar body temperature came from his cheek, and Mu Ye looked like a child who finally saw his relatives after being wronged.He bit his lower lip tightly, swallowing down the sobs he could suppress.

He can't cry.

Bai Cang was still injured, so he couldn't cry.

Mu Ye took a deep breath, he didn't dare to speak now, he was afraid that he would cry if he opened his mouth.He raised his hand to cover the blood-oozing wound on Bai Cang's abdomen, trying to use the little strength he had managed to gather to use the healing technique.

But before he moved, Bai Cang held his wrist and stopped Mu Ye from moving.

Mu Ye raised his head, and Oliver who had followed behind him at some time stood beside Bai Cang.Oliver was still expressionless and serious. He raised his hand to signal Mu Ye to back away, and then clasped his hands together, and a blue light shone from his hands.

Mu Ye opened his eyes wide, the blue light was warm and bright, even if he had never touched it, he could still feel the warmth from the blue light.Oliver whispered in a complicated language he didn't understand, and stretched out his hand to the scarred Bai Cang.The azure blue light slowly enveloped the blood-oozing wound on Bai Cang's abdomen. After a long pause, the light slowly subsided, and then his right leg, lower back...
