After the break, Jiang Ziliu prepared to say goodbye and leave.
But the little girl's eyes lit up, and she grabbed his sleeve, saying, "Big brother, you're an adventurer, can you take us on an adventure together?"
She actually wanted to follow Jiang Ziliu and was prepared to go on an adventure with him.
"Didn't we agree to go back together tomorrow?" the little boy objected.
"Hmph! How can a girl's word be taken seriously? Dad always says that women are the most unreasonable. If Dad thinks women are unreasonable, why should I keep my promise? Besides, don't you think adventure is fun? We have no experience, but our big brother does! We can play outside for a few more days!"
The little girl immediately retorted eloquently, persuading and guiding the conversation with remarkable fluency.
The little boy hesitated, but how could Jiang Ziliu dare to agree to this?
"No, I can't afford to offend Lineage like yours. If anything happens to you, it will be a huge problem for me!"
Jiang Ziliu immediately refused.
"Hmph, if you don't agree, I'll go home and tell my father that you're bullying us!"
The little girl threatened him.
Jiang Ziliu thought to himself, "I knew you two would be a huge problem."
But after much deliberation, he decided to get rid of the two little ones that evening.
"But I went in the direction you came from. Do you dare to turn back?"
"It doesn't matter, as long as I can experience an adventure, it doesn't matter where I am!" The little girl immediately agreed, afraid that Jiang Ziliu would change his mind.
She dared to do this because she never sensed any malice from Jiang Ziliu.
This made her somewhat want to rely on this not-so-bad "big brother." Most importantly, after Jiang Ziliu learned that she could sense the other person's good and evil, although he was wary, he did not dislike her.
However, the people around her were either afraid of her or subconsciously kept their distance from her.
Only Jiang Ziliu's attitude made her feel relatively friendly and respected.
Children are generally quite sensitive!
Many factors led her to want to follow Jiang Ziliu on his adventures.
Moreover, she didn't seem too afraid of encountering her Lineage members on the way back, suggesting that she and her brother weren't from prominent families in the area.
There was nothing Jiang Ziliu could do but wait until he could get rid of these two minor troubles.
After nightfall, they set up three tents by the roadside to rest. The two little ones didn't want to rest at the roadside service area where there were troops stationed, for fear of being caught.
Jiang Ziliu didn't sleep until midnight.
He didn't even take his own tent, but summoned the Azurite Rock Man and had it carry him away underground.
Jiang Ziliu had no intention of playing with the two little ones, so he changed into a new outfit.
He didn't even want that Green-Mane Horse worth over 100,000 yuan anymore.
However, after traveling only three hundred meters underground, the Azurite Rock Man sensed something was amiss; there were other people above!
This situation suggests either someone is protecting the two little ones, or their enemies are planning an assassination attempt.
The two little ones are true geniuses among Human Race.
After two evolutions, the Azurite Rock Man's perception ability has been greatly enhanced. When carrying people through the Earth Space Evasion, it can also sense abnormal situations in the surroundings.
He had the Azurite Rock Man lead him out from another direction, and then took out his binoculars to carefully observe the area.
The moonlight is quite bright tonight.
Jiang Ziliu noticed that the only person secretly observing the location of the three tents was a mysterious figure in a black robe.
The other person was not tall, and judging from the outline of the black robe, he did not look like a Human Race, but rather like the figure of a foreign race.
"Judging from his appearance, this person is very likely an assassin from another race!"
At this moment, Jiang Ziliu had already formed a judgment in his mind.
He himself was almost assassinated by Elf Race spies, let alone these two little guys who were already at the Bronze Rank at the age of twelve or thirteen.
In the eyes of other races, assassination is probably more valuable.
If such a promising brother and sister pair could be eliminated, not only would a portion of Human Race's future potential be cut off, but it could also throw a powerful clan into chaos.
Chaos within a powerful Human Race can spread to other areas, further diverting the Human Race's attention.
This method of gradually wearing down an opponent's potential is also a very good way to deal with potential opponents.
But what should I do in this situation?
Jiang Ziliu pondered. He felt alright with the two little ones and wanted to save them, but he didn't want to get himself involved.
After thinking for a few seconds, he decided to take two steps.
His first step was to send out the Azurite Rock Man to make a commotion and give the two little guys a warning.
The second step is to launch a covert, long-range attack on the assassin.
If the attack is effective, he will retreat immediately, leaving the corpse to the Azurite Rock Man so that the two little ones understand that they are in great danger.
If it doesn't work, he'll immediately move away.
He made this decision because he sensed that the assassin was only Four-Star Bronze Rank assassin.
Once he had an idea, he immediately took action. The Azurite Rock Man ran outside the two little guys' tent, created something, and then deliberately showed a hint of hostility.
Who's outside?
The brother and sister immediately became alert and summoned their tamed beasts. They were flying beasts, but due to the distance, Jiang Ziliu did not know what kind of beasts they were, but their aura was that of High-Stage Bronze beast, and their bloodline was extremely advanced!
The unique aura of bloodline made even the Azurite Rock Man had retreated underground feel oppressed.
Such beasts are high-level beasts, at least SS Grade, although they are currently only in their growth stage.
But their combat strength is definitely not weak.
The Azurite Rock Man completed its mission and immediately retreated.
Meanwhile, Jiang Ziliu activated his other hand, using his Metal Manipulation ability to silently control a metal bottle to fly to the upwind position near the piercing sky.
This metal bottle contains a highly toxic powder that can be transmitted through the air.
Ever since he discovered the immense power of poison during his battle with the two ambushers, Jiang Ziliu has been diligently collecting various highly toxic substances.
He was a pharmacist, and also extremely skilled at concocting poisons.
It can be said that poison and medicine are two closely related categories of knowledge.
The poison was indeed effective; the black-robed figure was poisoned in no time, but the opponent's resistance to poison was still very strong.
Even with such a potent poison, the victim didn't die; instead, he writhed and howled in agony on the ground.
The screams were in an Elvish language.
Only after the other person's robe was torn off during the rolling motion did Jiang Ziliu get a clear look at what the other person looked like.
It turned out to be an elf with dark gray skin.
This is no ordinary elf, but Dark Elf skilled in assassination, belonging to a corrupted elven bloodline associated with the power of the abyss and evil blood.
The Dark Elf are very scattered, and they are all in the underground world. There are also hidden branches of Dark Elf living in the underground world of Blue Water Star.
They are a group that will carry out assassination missions for anyone who pays them.
Therefore, it's really hard to say whether this assassination was a mission by an alien race or an internal power struggle within the Human Race.
The elf's screams caught the attention of the two children, who immediately flew over on their flying beasts and witnessed the Dark Elf's agonizing cries after being poisoned.
Having reached this point, with both the warning and the enemy dealt with, Jiang Ziliu had no intention of getting involved anymore.
He quickly recalled the Azurite Rock Man, had it carry him ten kilometers underground, and then flew away from another direction on Mutated Lightning Snake.
After this incident, he no longer intends to continue heading towards the original business base.
Jiang Ziliu prepared to use a backup plan, intending to cross the wilderness to reach the northern region.
That's where another secondary base cluster is located.
This area will inevitably become a high-risk region in the future, as it may involve struggles between Human Race and other races, or power struggles within the Human Race itself.
He did things that were not against his conscience, but he would only do so to a very limited extent and would not put himself in danger.
His wisest choice now is to stay away from areas where the storm might break out.
The route he originally took might have been fraught with the risk of exposing himself.
Jiang Ziliu left, and the two little ones quickly realized that this dark spirit had probably come to assassinate them, but had been dealt with beforehand.
No, it should be said that the solution was not perfect; the Dark Elf was poisoned, but did not die.
In this state, the Dark Elf couldn't even summon beasts to protect themselves.
The brother and sister, having received proper upbringing, acted decisively, eliminating the sprite and quickly activating an electronic device on their bodies, which promptly detected an emergency signal.
Before long, a nearby army unit received orders and quickly arrived at the location.
They took control of the entire scene and protected the two men.
Less than half an hour later, a mysterious old man opened a spatial portal and appeared there directly through spatial teleportation.
The brother and sister later learned that the "big brother" they had met during the day had already run away, without even taking his belongings, showing remarkable decisiveness.
"It was the one who released the poison. He was careful and decisive, saving you all but unwilling to show himself. It seems this person harbors a significant secret."
After understanding the situation, the old man carefully sensed the traces and atmosphere left at the scene and finally made an accurate judgment.
"Grandpa, then let's not investigate Big Brother anymore; he saved us too!"
The little girl is still quite kind-hearted.
The old man was actually the little girl's grandfather, a high-level expert.
The old man readily agreed, smiling kindly, "Of course, he's the savior of my beloved grandson and granddaughter, how could I possibly harm him?"
But having avoided the little girl, he issued the order, "Search for this person with all your might!"
His strong intuition told him that this mysterious young man must be hiding his identity, either because he had a big secret, had a special status, or was on some kind of mission.
Regardless of the circumstances, such individuals can bring enormous benefits to their Lineage.
The old man from a prominent family was very interested in what secrets Jiang Ziliu might have.
His approach was to take a couple of shots even if there was no guarantee of success.
Like a gluttonous beast, they devour all interests; this is the unchanging nature of aristocratic families.
As for the other party saving their grandchildren, that's what they should do; not doing so would be an act deserving of death!
In his eyes, protecting and improving the Lineage's interests is a matter of course!
Morality based on gratitude is merely a set of rules and tools used by the upper class to control the lower class.
How could those who create order possibly abide by the rules of the order they themselves created?
Rules are always made for others; I've never heard of rules being made for oneself.
But this old man was destined to be disappointed!
What he investigated was that Jiang Ziliu was just using an alias.
Moreover, Jiang Ziliu has now changed his identity and has moved far away from the area of influence that the old man was searching for.
This time, Jiang Ziliu made the right choice again, but he still underestimated just how low the moral integrity of the aristocratic families was!
