into the night.

In the dense forest of the trial area.

Du Ying finally waited for the person she was waiting for.

She was in the tent and heard the sound of footsteps trampling fallen leaves.

I bent down and walked out of the tent, and saw Du Huancheng.

The thick fog had not yet dissipated, but Du Huancheng's dark eyes were exceptionally bright, shining in the darkness.

Du Ying was a little excited, "Brother!"

Ever since she entered the dense forest of the Du family trial area, she always felt uneasy.

There was no sound or movement around her, which made her feel lonely and insecure.

"Yes, you really came in. Didn't the Seventh Elder stop you?" Du Huancheng threw the limp Du Yanchen to the ground and looked up at Du Ying.

"The Seventh Elder thinks that I am not a real member of the Du family, so he doesn't take me seriously. Outsiders without Du family blood cannot enter the trial area, but I am an exception." Du Ying said with a cunning and proud look on his face.

The Seventh Elder would never have imagined that she had experienced a blood transfusion experiment.

And she has a potion that allows her to withstand the powerful pressure in the trial area.

"How are you feeling? Don't force yourself." Du Huancheng looked her up and down, trying to see if there was anything wrong with her.

"I feel fine. My body can withstand the pressure." Du Ying said, glancing at Du Yanchen, who was lying on the ground like a dead dog, with disdain, and frowned, "Brother, why did you bring him here?"

She scanned with her mental power and saw that Du Yanchen's meridians were disordered and he was almost a useless person.

Their mission was already dangerous, and they had to bring along such a burden.

It's a complete burden.

"Well, I have my own arrangements." Du Huancheng sat down by the fire, "Give me the clothes and equipment first."

Members of the Du family who enter the experimental area are not allowed to bring any equipment.

He was wearing only a thick robe and a pair of rubber-soled shoes, and he didn't even have a lighter.

Du Ying took out a large canvas bag from the nano space, which contained clothes, shoes, and weapons and equipment that had been prepared in advance.

Du Huancheng took the canvas bag and dragged Du Yanchen into the tent.

When the two changed their clothes and came out again, they looked completely different.

Du Huancheng was wearing a neat black combat uniform, with a gun hanging around his waist and a dagger stuck in the cowhide bag on the side of his thigh. He exuded a smart and cold aura.

Although his ancient martial arts skills had not reached the level of a heavenly master, he was able to block bullets and various cold weapons with his internal strength and body skills.

In comparison, Du Yanchen's ancient martial arts level is much worse.

He had just entered the upper stage of the Yellow Rank, but because of too many toxins in his body, his meridians and internal breath were disordered, so his skills dropped to the lower stage of the Yellow Rank.

Du Ying glanced at him with annoyance on her face.

Both are young masters of the Du family, and both are wearing combat uniforms. Du Huancheng is an awe-inspiring ancient martial arts elite, while Du Yanchen is like a piece of mud that can't be supported against the wall!

At this time, Du Ying remembered something, "Brother, have the trial areas of those families become chaotic?"

Du Huancheng said "hmm" and paused for a moment, "After finishing things here, I will go to the Yu family next week. This mission must be completed quickly."

"Brother, don't worry. Tongtong is watching over the Yu family." Du Ying said, and suddenly came to her senses and was stunned, "No way, do you want to see Tongtong?"

As she spoke, she raised her eyebrows slightly, with a look of resentment on her face, "I don't even know when you and Tongtong got together."

No matter how calm she was, she could tell that something was wrong with these two people.

Whenever they are together, the air is filled with an ambiguous and sweet atmosphere.

You look at me and I glance at you, and I feel a sticky, stringy feeling, with pink bubbles all over my body.

She was not blind and could see that the two were in love.

It's like they are stuck together by strong magnets and can't be separated.

Hearing her question, Du Huancheng was silent for a moment, and said in a slow and low voice, "I met her on my first mission."

Du Ying was a little surprised. "What? We met during the first mission?"

These two people kept it a secret so she didn't know anything about it.

She felt like an outsider.

Not happy!

Du Huancheng didn't want to talk about this topic, so he turned around, took a tent, set it up in the open space next to him, and then dragged Du Yanchen into the tent.

"You can rest here for now. If you are hungry or thirsty, there is food and water in the backpack."

Du Yanchen's face was pale and he lay motionless in the tent.

Although he was still feeling weak at this time, the pain in his body and meridians had actually eased a lot.

He himself felt strange.

Could it be possible that entering the trial area could repair his internal injuries?

Or could it be that the thick fog around here could clear away the cold poison for him?

He was totally confused and had no idea what was going on.

"Du Huancheng, thank you. I depended on you along the way." Du Yanchen hesitated for a moment, but still said the words of thanks.

Although he initially thought that Du Huancheng had no good intentions in dragging him into the trial area.

Most likely they wanted him to die miserably in the jungle.

But Du Huancheng did not abandon him along the way. Instead, he took him to a safe camp, changed his clothes, and gave him food and drink.

Moreover, his internal injuries and pain were greatly alleviated.

Now it seems that Du Huancheng has no ill will towards him.

He participated in the family trial this time and followed Du Huancheng, so he might have gotten a great bargain!

Du Yanchen is usually a smooth and tactful person. When he saw that he could get a big support, he immediately turned into a well-behaved younger brother.

As long as he is allowed to leave the trial area alive, enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens is not a big deal, and he has no problem even being a lackey for Master Cheng!

After tossing and turning for most of the day, Du Yanchen felt exhausted and deeply sleepy.

I fell asleep after a while.

Du Huancheng, who was outside the tent, heard his steady and long breathing and knew that he had fallen asleep, so he took out a thick blanket and covered him with it.

Then zip up the tent and sit by the fire.

Du Ying was itching to gossip about him and Ye Xingtong, so she sat next to him and said, "You're free anyway, so tell me how you and Tongtong got together?"

"Why do you care about this?" Du Huancheng felt a little uncomfortable.

"You are my brother, Tongtong is my best friend, what's wrong with caring about you? It's not something shameful."

Du Ying smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't mess you two up."

Du Huancheng: "..."

No.

He really didn't want to talk about it.

He had never told anyone about his relationship with Ye Xingtong.

Only they know each other's thoughts.

"Where's my nano ring?" he asked.

When entering the trial area, no equipment or accessories are allowed. Du Huancheng gave the nano ring to Du Ying for safekeeping.

"Here it is, for you." Du Ying took out a bronze patterned ring from his pocket and handed it to Du Huancheng.

He put on the ring and lowered his head to take out a postcard from the space.

In the blue sky, two free birds are flying.

There is a kind of pure and free beauty.

There was a line of words written on the back of the postcard.

I tell you that we will be together through life and death.

The names of Du Huancheng and Ye Xingtong were written in the lower right corner.

Signed the time later.

Du Ying was stunned when she saw the time.

This was five years ago.

The words on the postcard were obviously written by Du Huancheng and Ye Xingtong together.

The girl's handwriting is elegant and graceful, while the man's handwriting is steady and sharp, with a handsome edge.

Du Ying's heart trembled violently.

She remembered that it was the time when Chu Siyang returned to the Chu family and took the position of young master.

Du Huancheng also gathered a mercenary group in Ziwang to carry out many dangerous missions.

The reputation of Lord Cheng spread throughout the entire Yuzizhou.

The two of them worked together to eliminate the stubborn villains within the family.

The process was tragic and difficult.

At that time, Chengzhu was seriously injured.

Du Ying pursed her lips and returned the postcard to Du Huancheng, "I know that you are trying to rescue those innocent victims..."

The Lord of Truth assembled a mercenary group to carry out the mission and rescue the sacrificed experimental subjects from various families.

Most of them are underage children.

What they want to protect are these innocent children who are powerless to resist and sacrifice themselves for their families.

"This is our responsibility." Du Huancheng put away the postcard and said calmly, "Because of this responsibility, Tongtong is special in my heart."

Du Ying thought for a moment, tilted his head and asked, "Brother, have you guys decided to spend your lives together in private? Why don't you make it public?"

Du Huancheng glanced at her and said, "It's not the right time yet. There are still some evil forces that have not been eliminated. We can only put an end to it once we find all those termites."

"That's right." Du Ying nodded. "Our current cultivation is still too low and our strength is too weak to defeat those powerful old guys."

After a moment of silence, Du Ying asked again, "Tongtong was able to sneak into the Yu family trial area. Is she really related to the Yu family by blood, or..."

Although she and Ye Xingtong are best friends, she is not clear about each other's backgrounds.

All I know is that she is from the Ye family.

"Well, Tongtong's mother's surname is Yu." Du Huancheng said.

Ye Xingtong has half of the Yu family's blood in her body, so she also signed up for the trial this time.

Du Ying shrugged, not surprised at all.

A big reason why these people were able to survive that year was because they were able to withstand the blood transfusion experiment.

In other words, they have the genes and blood of various powerful families in their bodies.

As the sky gradually darkened, Du Ying roasted a fire for a while and then planned to go back to the tent to rest. "Brother, I'm going to sleep first. Let's go find the experimental base together tomorrow."

She had just turned back to the tent when she suddenly remembered something was wrong.

Five years ago, Ye Xingtong was only 15 years old!

Du Ying: “…”

Brother, you are such a beast!
