Chapter 264
264 Sudden Attack!
Suddenly the rain fell so hard.
As like what Physician Ou said since the Golden Buffalo Mountain is currently experiencing quite strange natural phenomena so the air temperature can change in an instant.
The Crown Prince’s entourage, along with BaiYing, Elder Yi, ShinYa and YoTang took shelter in a small hut that was built by the locals as a shelter for anyone who walked into the forest. The small one-room hut in the Crown Prince’s palace had several small couches that were comfortable enough for everyone to sit and rest for a while, while the Crown Prince lifted BaiYing’s sore legs onto his lap and massaged them.
“It hurts, Your Majesty, let it be Sis Yan who massages it.”
“This brat, why do you always hurt your little feet, I told you not to climb a tree, has YingYing never fallen while climbing a tree?”
BaiYing pursed his lips.
“It’s because of my clothes”
“Just say it you are really careless, this brat, your body is full of wounds, and have you forgotten that your body is mine, only mine, why did you let that person touch you?”
“Your Majesty is unreasonable as if I want to be touched by him, Ying is currently being injured, remember?” BaiYing said while furrowing his brows deeply, the Crown Prince’s sharp gaze as if blaming him.
.....
“Still, you shouldn’t have let him take your clothes off!”
“It’s just that at my back, Your Majesty is really too much,” BaiYing grumbled.
LuoXiang touched BaiYing’s forehead brushing his front hair to examine it.
“Look at your head, heh”
LuoXiang held BaiYing’s hand which was about to touch his forehead, for a while his pair of big round eyes looked at the Crown Prince who was very close to him, he peeks at the Crown Prince’s back where the others were sitting enjoying their short meal, though they didn’t dare to look at him and the Crown Prince, but they certainly noticed.
“Your Majesty, there’s a lot of people here,” he whispered.
“Then what? Can’t their eyes see the other way?”
The Crown Prince’s voice was a bit loud on purpose so it could be clearly heard by Elder Yi, ShinYa, and YoTang who were pretending to look the other way, but not with Elder Yi, he felt his chin while keep looking at the two love birds since their first time there.
“Your highness”
BaiYing whispered while pulling the Crown Prince’s hand which was kept holding his.
The Crown Prince’s smile started to look mischievous, he stretched out his other hand pulling BaiYing’s waist closer to him.
“After this, we will return to the palace and enjoy our bed in the Dragon Pavilion, the bed must be very cold now”
“Your Majesty can change the blanket to the thicker one”
“All of those blankets doesn’t mean anything with what I have here, the best heater ever”
BaiYing being overwhelmed by LuoXiang’s mischievous hand that was holding his waist made him amused.
“Your Majesty this servant is not a heating pillow”
“Well, it can’t be helped, without YingYing my bed has indeed become very cold if you are not a heating pillow then what?”
On the other hand, Elder Yi was starting to get annoyed.
“Ahem!” he deliberately made a loud noise to make BaiYing try to sit up straight, Elder Yi didn’t know that the Crown Prince’s current gaze could crush him to a pulp for disturbing them. BaiYing pushed the Crown Prince’s chest away.
“Em the rain is stopped, let’s continue our course, Your Majesty, I’m already itching, I really want to take a bath, eat the fish soup made by Sis Lan’er, owh it must taste really good”
The Crown Prince looked outside the hut, the rain had stopped even though the sky was still a bit dark.
“Come on, let’s continue, do you want me to carry you my YingYing?”
LuoXiang stretched out his hand to help BaiYing off the couch.
“That’s no need Your Majesty, I can walk by myself, thanks for the offer.”
The Crown Prince took BaiYing’s hand tightly and led him out of the hut, the others followed them.
“Emm but the road so muddy like this, your clothes will get dirty later”
“That’s no problem, Your Majesty, my clothes already gets dirty anyway”
The group entered a small road leading down to the Medicine Valley, the only small road that was narrow enough for only two people to pass at the same time.
While they were walking, something suddenly shot towards the Crown Prince and BaiYing, while the two of them were hugging each other until they didn’t notice.
Whoosh!
BaiYing’s eyes went wide, as did the Crown Prince who belatedly noticed something flew into his face until a huge force behind him pushed away what was probably nothing but a machete so that it flew back into the tree, none other than Elder Yi who swiftly waved his hand.
“Prang!”
They’re being attacked!
YoTang was on alert, immediately drew his sword running forward protecting the Crown Prince and BaiYing.
“Your Highness be careful!”
LuoXiang pulled BaiYing behind him, protecting the young man.
It didn’t take long from the hills and the small streets a lot of movement simultaneously seemed to rush towards them.
‘Waaahhh woahh!!”
The Crown Prince and the others widened their eyes, countless strange creatures resembling humans but with animal-like bodies that walked on all fours with irregular faces resembling insects, with a pair of large all-black eyes, jagged mouths that charged towards them.
“Your Majesty takes cover!” YoTang exclaimed, he waved his sword trying to withstand the attacks of tens if not hundreds of the creatures, Elder Yi joined the fight, while ShinYa stood in the middle protecting all with his protective energy.
“What are them Master Yo?” asked the Crown Prince, the number of beings kept growing, they did not meet the beast when passing through the previous path, none of the creatures dare to touch them because of BaiYing’s energy that frightened them, but these creatures definitely not scared at all.
“It’s my first time saw them, Your Majesty, I have never heard of such a creature like this in the Golden Buffalo mountain before” YoTang shouted, and the creatures not even have a slight fear of ShinYa’s protective energy, they tried to break through it at all costs.
“Your Majesty they are so ugly” BaiYing tightly gripped LuoXiang’s sleeve, but he remembered something, why was he so stupid, he was already able to spit out his white flames, but just as he was about to raise his hand Elder Yi grabbed it.
“XiaoYing no, your energy hasn’t stabilized yet, you used it too much while in the cave.”
BaiYing stuttered, but if not using his energy how would they get out of there? The Crown Prince turned towards BaiYing, lowered BaiYing’s hand, and gripped his hand tightly.
“Don’t Ying, let us take care of them”
That’s right, BaiYing’s chest still hurts a bit when he tries to expend his energy, how bad is it that he will relapse at a time like this? This can’t happen.
The Crown Prince grabbed BaiYing’s hand and continued their path slowly while being in the protective circle to get out of the way, everything went smoothly until they had walked some distance to the end of the road, however, something flew towards within the protective circle.
‘Sheet!’ and hit ShinYa’s hand.
“Ah!” a small bow blade pierced through ShinYa’s palm causing all of his protective energy to dissipate.
“Master Shin!” exclaimed YoTang.
As the instant that ugly creatures charged straight at the Crown Prince and others, YoTang tried to hold with his sword but the creature whose skin resembled a hard shell-like that of a rhinoceros attacked blindly.
“Arrgghh!”
“Insolent where did this creature come from?” Luo Xiang cursed.
Elder Yi possessed immense internal strength, but even so, he was also overwhelmed by the increasing number of creatures, as much as he could push with his inner strength, a huge and powerful wind that erupted from every flick of his hand, was so light it made the creature fly away.
BaiYing pulled ShinYa’s hand, removed his hairband, and tied the man’s hand who’s bleeding non-stop.
“Master Shin”
ShinYa bit his lip, he glanced around, whoever it was he knew how to break through his protective circle and hit his hand, this was very dangerous, they were no ordinary enemies.
“Hiatt!”
LuoXiang waved his sword, back and forth and around, several creatures seemed to be trying to get close to BaiYing who was thought to be the weakest among them.
“YingYing, stay close with me!” cried the Crown Prince.
BaiYing nodded, he looked at ShinYa who was enduring pain, held his hand, and opened his palm on top of the shaman’s.
ShinYa was about to withdraw his hand knowing what the young man was going to do.
“Your Majesty, don’t”
“Don’t move up Master Shin, you could bleed out, after all, the arrows seem to contain poison” BaiYing said when he saw the wound on ShinYa’s palm become darker. ShinYa did feel it, his head felt very heavy and his breath was getting short, but, he couldn’t let the Viceroy expend his energy, however, he was too late to stop it.
LuoXiang’s eyes widened, he turned around to see what BaiYing was doing.
“YingYing what are you doing?”
