Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

The next morning, the sky had just dawned, and the sun shone through the thin clouds, gently onto the earth. After a night of rest, Wu Xie had already sorted out his emotions. He was wearing a mud-yellow jacket, dark overalls, and high-top black Martin boots. He stood as tall as a pine tree, and exuded a resolute aura. At this time, the chubby guy, Fatty, was not far away, showing his courtesy to the clouds, saying some sweet words, trying to please the beauty.

Unlike the past, Wu Xie's eyes were extremely firm at this moment, as if burning with two balls of blazing fire. He clenched his fists and swore in his heart: This time, no matter what, he would uncover the truth that his third uncle, second uncle, and everyone else had been hiding from him!

However, at this moment, thin threads invisible to the naked eye quietly wrapped around Wu Xie's limbs like ghosts. These threads appeared and disappeared, flashing a faint light, and seemed to contain some mysterious power.

Following the silk thread, one could see a figure as black as ink, with even the pores difficult to distinguish, floating above Wu Xie's head. The man stretched out his slender fingers and flexibly manipulated the silk threads. Wu Xie, who was bound by the silk threads, did not feel that he was being controlled by someone. He just felt as if something had bitten him. He looked around and found nothing unusual, so he did not take it seriously.

At the same time, far away from here, there was a quiet little courtyard outside the village. In the courtyard, a man was lying leisurely under the eaves, enjoying the warm sunshine. Suddenly, Hua Yu seemed to have noticed something, and his eyes, which had been closed, suddenly opened, and a barely perceptible smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Finally it appears...the evil incarnation of the hidden god Pangu." Hua Yu whispered softly, her voice clear and pleasant, like a yellow oriole singing out of a valley.

You know, in the legends of the entire Honghuang Continent, Pangu, the great god who created the world, disappeared between heaven and earth after completing his feat and merged into this vast world. However, the fact is not so.

Hua Yu still got the clues he wanted from his two fathers. It turned out that Pangu God had not completely disappeared, but left an incarnation hidden in the world. When he first learned the news, he was also filled with disbelief and shock. But as time went on, more and more signs showed that the rumor was not groundless. Now, the appearance of the unknown energy made Hua Yu even more certain that the malicious incarnation of Pangu God hidden in the dark was about to surface...

Xie Yuchen also received the news when Wu Xie set out to come to him.

Xie Yuchen also gave instructions to his men to prepare all the items for ancestor worship, as they were about to enter the tomb.

Xie Yuchen's movements also alarmed Huo Jia and Qiu Dekao who were not far away. They each sent people over, and after learning that Xie Yuchen was going to the tomb, they also took action.

Jude Kao held Xia's hand tightly, as if he wanted to pass on all his strength and hope to her. His eyes were full of concern and worry: "No matter what happens, even if the sky falls, you must come back alive! I have suffered the pain of losing Ning, and I must not let the same tragedy happen again. I can't lose you again..." At this point, Jude Kao couldn't help coughing, and his originally pale face became even uglier, but he still endured the discomfort and continued: "If you encounter any emergency, as long as your life is endangered, immediately give up the task I assigned to you. Remember, coming back to me alive is the most important mission."

Xia looked at Jude Kao, who was lying on the bed with tearful eyes and looked as thin as a skeleton. Seeing him so weak but still holding on to say such a long string of words, she couldn't help but feel sad. She gritted her teeth and tried to make her voice sound firmer: "I will, Boss. Just rest and recuperate. When you open your eyes again, you will see me intact and what you have always wanted."

However, only Xia knew that no matter whether the mission could be successfully completed, Jude Kao would eventually die. However, if the mission was successful, he might die peacefully as a human being; but if it failed, he would probably die tragically after turning into a terrible monster. But Xia could only bury these words deep in his heart and dared not reveal them to Jude Kao.

Xia slowly turned around and stretched out her hand to open the curtain of the tent. At this moment, Jude Kao's trembling voice came from behind again: "Xia, promise me that you must come back alive and safe!" Obviously, despite Xia's promise, Jude Kao still couldn't completely let go. Because he knew Xia's character too well. This stubborn woman who refused to give up easily, once she set her goal, she would move forward regardless of everything.

The summer sun poured down like golden silk, just in front of Xia's graceful figure. She stood quietly in front of the curtain of the tent, slightly raised her head, and let the warm and dazzling light gently caress her face.

At this moment, the sun seemed to give Xia's skin a faint halo, making her originally beautiful face even more charming. Her bright eyes, like stars, flashed with an indescribable firmness and determination.

Xia cast his eyes on Jude Kao lying on the bed for the last time, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a smile. This smile was as bright and pure as a flower blooming in spring, just like the smile of the innocent little girl who was just adopted by Jude Kao many years ago.

However, from Jude Kao's perspective, due to the refraction of light and the distance, Xia's beautiful face gradually became blurred. He subconsciously reached out and tried to catch the figure that was about to leave him, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not touch her.

Then, Xia turned around without hesitation, took a decisive step, opened the curtain of the tent and walked out. Her slender figure gradually walked away in the sunlight until she disappeared.

Soon, Xia came to an open area where her team members had already gathered. They stood tall and energetic, their eyes revealing their nervousness and anticipation for the mission.

Xia walked in front of the crowd and stopped. After taking a deep breath, he began to speak in a steady and serious tone: "Dear teammates, I believe everyone knows what kind of danger we will face next. No one can predict what kind of difficulties and obstacles we will encounter during this deep underground exploration. To be honest, even I am not sure if I can come back alive, let alone guarantee that I can bring all of you back safely. Therefore, if any brother or sister is afraid and wants to withdraw from this operation, you can apply now. I will never blame any of you for this."

However, no one in Xia's team came forward, and no one was willing to embark on that uncertain road with Xia.

Xia took a look at them and suddenly laughed, "You are all great, but I can't help but consider your families." Xia pointed out half of the people. Some of them were not married yet, some had just gotten married, and they were all young people who had not yet left any children.

"We are all childless orphans, but you are different. You have families, parents, relatives and friends. You shouldn't give up everything for this one fatal action." Xia stood opposite them, and his teammates behind him spoke one by one, arm in arm.

"We have no parents, no friends, and you are the only one we know in this world. If we all die, no one will remember us."

"You are still a little immature now, little brat. When you grow up a little, you will be able to participate in such operations."

"If I can come back alive, I will use the pension given by my boss to enjoy my life. If I don't come back, you can use my pension to live a good life for me."

……

Xia and the people behind her gave instructions to their teammates on the opposite side one by one, and then walked towards Xie Yuchen and the others without looking back. They were playing and joking all the way.

The young mercenaries behind them looked at their captain and their teammates who resolutely embarked on this road to death.
