Chapter 295: Rescuing Chef Long

In the cave where the well Long Haoran was led to, the nymphs was kneeling facing the direction where Shillo was initially standing.

They watched the thousands of water bubbles slipped from the hole the cave ceiling and flew into the horizon reflecting the orange and red hue from the glowing sea of lava. They were like little lanterns carrying someone’s dear wishes to the Heavens.

The nymphs opened their mouths and sang a mournful tune as the bubbles burst one by one never to reach the end.

---

A head-splitting headache strike Long Haoran’s head. He could hear whispers buzzing in his ears and someone touching his face and his clothes.

"He doesn’t look like a Halfling or nymph. What is he?"

"Look what he’s wearing. It looks so soft, cool to touch and comfortable too. He must be from a rich clan. Is there another specie living nearby?"

"Weird, if his clan is nearby, why haven’t we heard or seen them?"

"Look he’s waking up, let’s ask him..."

The nymphs crowded near Long Haoran.

When Long Haoran opened his eyes, he was in unfamiliar environment.

He saw nymphs with chains binding their necks, wrists, and ankles, looking at him curiously, titling their heads to the side. They were very thin and their skins were not gleaming unlike the ones he met before.

In the middle of his scrutiny, he received system’s messages.

The last quest made Long Haoran and looked for traces of Little Mantou, Little Ginseng and Little Lotus. Seeing they weren’t in the same cage. He rose and limped towards the rails.

Li Chunhua further confirmed Chef Long’s identity when he stood up and clung onto the rails. Confusion was written on all over his face while looking around until his gaze stopped on her.

He seemed to try to bend the bars and break the chains with his sheer strength and used his fire but failed too.

"Kind Sir, they fed us with magic suppression medicine. You won’t able to do anything now." One of the nymphs grumbled.

Long Haoran narrowed his eyes at the nymph’s words and opened his stats and saw -30 to -40% on Strength, Agility, and Intelligence.

Li Chunhua saw the guards sat at the truck’s roof tugged the whips off his belt and swung it at Chef Long. "Lowly slave, stop yanking the bars!"

However, before it could even hit the back of the man’s hand, the metal wheels of the truck were broken and the truck crashed into the side. The cages were tumbled and the captives inside suffer some bruises and wounds.

Li Chunhua took out daggers and wrapped them with qi before throwing them and cutting the bars smoothly. The force behind the dagger was so great that the blade shattered.

She did the same with the other two trucks and the road turn into a mess.

Long Haoran saw that the opportunity had arrived and grasp it.

The nymphs imitated his actions and also run.

"What happened?" The leader of the caravan crawled from his crushed seat and yelled at the driver.

The driver replied. "I don’t know, Boss."

The angry leader kicked the truck door opened and when he saw the captive were escaping, he shouted out loud before yanking off his gun and loading a special kind of bullets in the magazine. "Get up, you lousy bastards and capture back the slaves or you’ll be the ones I’m selling!"

His halfling subordinates quickly aimed their weapons at the fleeing slaves. Shots after shots were fired hitting the legs, arms, torsos, and even shoulders of the nymphs.

Ron was about to gather his things from the stall when he saw the water in the red river rising and burst from the banks. He quickly entered the residence and climbed to the upper floors.

The halflings roaming and located nearby saw it and entered the shops and houses for refuge. There was a burst of shouts and scream before red mist shrouded the whole surroundings.

Li Chunhua’s eyes glowed commanding the red river to turn into a mist blocking the halflings’ sight.

[Atmoskinesis Skill is activated.]

Long Haoran was running and jumping round while avoiding the shots. It should be hard for him to execute the moves while his stats were affected and movements hindered but strangely, his right eye tingled with pain and dozens of images entered his mind allowing him to see the trajectory of the bullets a second before they hit.

[Eye of Horus Level 1 skill is activated.]

He continued to run until red fog blanketed the path. He stopped in his tracks.

The leader and his subordinates couldn’t fire another shot without clear sightings of their targets. There was a sound of whistling and sharp wind passing by before they felt something cold touch their wrists and necks.

One by one, their bodies fell down and the last thing they saw was a pair of cold blue eyes.

"Chef Long."

Long Haoran heard the familiar voice calling him and replied back uncertain if it was just his imagination caused by the separation, "Xiao Hua?"

"Be quiet Chef Long." A delicate pair of small hand that seemed to belong to a child clasped on his hands before something pulled him. The faints sounds of breaking chains drifted to his ears and he was freed.

"Chef Long, where’s Little Mantou, Little Ginseng, and Little Lotus?"

Long Haoran sensed the worry laced in her tone and he was guilty because it was his responsibility. He only woke up in the cage and couldn’t remember the events before. "I’m sorry Xiao Hua. They were not with me when I woke up, but I’ll not rest till I find them."

He promised with conviction before squeezing her hands with a gentle force.

Li Chunhua was sad hoping those three did not fell in the hands of the bad guys.

She stayed silent for a few seconds thinking of the three’s wellbeing before she remembered the slaves which was the part of her mission. "Wait, Chef Long, I’ll rescue the nymphs first."
