You Told Me to Run, So Why Didn't You?

Wang Huan fell heavily to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood.

He felt excruciating pain all over his body, as if his bones had been shattered.

Oh no!

Wang Huan lay on the ground in agony; the black bear was even stronger than he had imagined!

Wang Huan struggled to his feet, feeling as if all the strength had been drained from his body, but his eyes shone with an indomitable light.

He knew that this was not the time for a direct confrontation, but rather a matter of strategy.

He glanced at the broken spear in his hand and felt a pang of regret.

This was his most trusted weapon, but unexpectedly, it broke in two during a battle with a black bear.

But he had no time to grieve, because the wounded black bear had begun to approach him.

Wang Huan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the fear and pain in his heart.

He quickly drew his last two arrows from his quiver; they were his last hope. He had to use them to buy himself time to escape.

He kept his eyes fixed on the black bear, searching for the best moment to shoot.

Despite its injured eyes, the black bear remained incredibly ferocious. It roared as it charged towards Wang Huan with astonishing speed.

Wang Huan's heart skipped a beat; he knew his opportunity had arrived.

He suddenly drew his bow and shot two arrows, which streaked across the night sky like meteors, each aimed at the black bear's eyes.

"Thud! Thud!" A muffled sound rang out as the black bear dodged one arrow, but not the second!

It let out a painful roar, its body froze, and its speed instantly slowed down.

If it hadn't been injured in both eyes, it wouldn't have been hit by a single arrow!

It will tear this human to pieces!

But suddenly, a small figure rushed in front of him.

Wang Huan, holding a stone knife, suddenly slashed at the Bear Demon's neck!

His little face was full of fierceness!

The black bear hadn't expected that this little human would dare to charge at it.

"Boom!"

A powerful Demon Qi erupted from its body once more, sending Wang Huan flying.

"Puff!"

Wang Huan fell heavily to the ground, spitting out blood.

His last chance is gone!

He looked at the black bear charging towards him, his eyes filled with despair.

Am I really going to die here?

"Run, Xiao Huan, run!"

Sudden!

Xiao Hua's voice echoed in my mind.

A scene flashed through his mind.

He lay in bed, and Xiao Hua was beside him tending to his wounds.

"Back then, I told you to run, Xiao Huan, why didn't you run?"

"No way! Who told him to talk about us? I'm not running away!"

"Fool, you can't do that. It's okay to run away if you encounter someone you can't beat." The little girl's voice suddenly choked up as she said this, "What will I do if anything happens to you?"

"I'm sorry, Xiao Hua, I... Don't cry, it's my fault!"

Wang Huan lay on the bed, looking at the crying little girl, somewhat at a loss!

"Roar!"

The image in his mind was shattered by the roar of the black bear.

Wang Huan's eyes rekindled with fighting spirit.

Right!

He had to run, he had to run! He couldn't die here!

A surge of power welled up within him, and he miraculously rose from the ground.

They ran into the depths of the dense forest.

He won't die!

He also wants to avenge Xiao Hua!

"Roar!"

The black bear roared angrily from behind; its blindness prevented it from keeping up with the little boy's speed!

One midday.

Ye Jing was pondering how to ensure that Town Heaven Pass not only possessed defensive capabilities but also had offensive capabilities.

Suddenly, I had a feeling!

The array he placed there has been activated!

Ye Jing narrowed his eyes.

I almost forgot!

He also left a child in a forest Demon Beast!

The next second, he disappeared.

When it reappeared, it was above that Demon Beast forest.

"Immortal Master, over here!"

A childish voice rang out, and Ye Jing turned around to see a boy waving excitedly at him from the top of a hill.

The scorching sunlight dappled the body of a little boy, who looked somewhat disheveled, with many bleeding scars on his body, but his eyes shone with an indomitable light.

He had just struggled out of the Demon Beast forest, his body covered in mud and grass clippings, his clothes torn and tattered by branches and thorns.

But his leaps were firm and powerful, as if each step proclaimed his victory.

He gripped a homemade spear tightly in his hand. The shaft was made of wood and Shi Tuo, and although it was simple, the tip was sharpened to an exceptionally sharp point, gleaming with a cold light.

He had carefully polished the grip; although it was rough, it felt very secure in the hand.

This spear was newly made by the little boy. These weapons, crafted by hand with limited resources, have accompanied him through countless life-or-death moments.

A simple quiver containing several homemade arrows hung from his waist.

The shafts of these arrows were made of tough tree branches, while the arrowheads were made of sharpened stone flakes.

Although not as sharp as real weapons, they became the little boy's most reliable companions in this forest of Demon Beast.

The little boy's face still bore the marks of fatigue and tension from his battle with the Demon Beast, but his eyes were unusually determined.

His face bore an indescribable resoluteness and courage.

He succeeded! Wang Huan succeeded!

I can finally become a disciple of the Immortal Master!

Ye Jing's lips curled up. Not bad!

That kid!

He slowly descended.

"Great, you passed!"

Hearing Ye Jing's praise, even if it was just a simple "not bad."

But it also brought a bright smile to Wang Huan's face, a smile as radiant as the sun, dispelling all his previous fatigue and tension.

His eyes gleamed with excitement, as if at that moment he saw his future filled with hope and light.

He excitedly ran up to Ye Jing, stopped, gripped the spear tightly with both hands, and trembled slightly, clearly due to his excitement and nervousness.

"Immortal Master, I did it! I really did it!" Wang Huan's voice trembled slightly, but more so with joy and pride.

He looked up at Ye Jing, his eyes filled with expectation and admiration.

Ye Jing smiled and nodded, his eyes filled with admiration and satisfaction. He reached out and gently patted Wang Huan's shoulder, saying, "Yes, you did it. You are a brave and intelligent child, and I am very happy to be your mentor."

Upon hearing Ye Jing's words, a tear glistened in Wang Huan's eyes.

He knelt excitedly before Ye Jing, kowtowed three times, and said, "Thank you, Master! I will definitely cultivate diligently and live up to your expectations!"

Ye Jing smiled and helped Wang Huan up, saying, "Alright, I believe you. From today onwards, you are my disciple. However, the days ahead will still be difficult. Are you ready?"

"Yes, Master, I'm ready!" Wang Huan nodded emphatically.

Having come this far, there's even less reason for him to give up!

"Let's go then, there's something I need you to do!" Ye Jing smiled.

With a wave of his hand, the two disappeared from the spot.
