Chapter 313: Blacksmith and the Little Girl

「Brother Bai Ka, where are you? 」

Watching the monster-transformed teacher and another Black Tide Monster walk toward them.

These children were so scared their bodies trembled, even forgetting how to flee!

One of the girls sitting in a wheelchair clutched tightly the scroll in her hand.

Even though it was now a critical moment, she was unwilling to let go.

Although the little girl's drawing skills were average, it was clearly visible that the young man with red hair and a mechanical prosthetic arm on the scroll was Bai Ka, who had previously resisted the Black Tide Monster.

The other children could see that although the little girl's hands were tightly gripping the scroll, she had hardly any strength.

Besides her limited mobility, this little girl's strength was far less than that of an ordinary child.

"Brother Bai Ka, can you come back and save us?" the little girl prayed in her heart.

But the two Black Tide Monsters continued to approach step by step.

Just as the two monsters drew near, the children suddenly heard heavy footsteps in the distance.

"It's Blacksmith Uncle coming!"

The children's eyes lit up, finding hope to live from despair!

The physically weak little girl also seemed to have grasped a lifeline.

But the despair in the children's hearts had not yet faded.

Because Bai Tie would need some more time to rush over.

That amount of time would be enough for the Black Tide Monsters to kill them twice over!

One of the boys, with his mind racing, made a decision no one had expected!

Bang!

Only seeing the boy push hard on the girl's wheelchair, causing the stationary wheelchair to slowly start turning.

"Ah!"

The little girl didn't yet know what had happened, only knowing that the wheelchair she was sitting in began to rush toward the two Black Tide Monsters, and she immediately cried out in shock, her face changing dramatically.

"Bai He, what are you doing?"

The other few boys exerted all their strength trying to stop the rolling wheelchair.

But they were still young; how could they have the strength to grab the wheelchair?

They could only watch helplessly as the wheelchair rolled off into the distance.

And they all glared angrily at the boy who had pushed the wheelchair.

However, Bai He showed no sign of taking offense; instead, he sneered repeatedly,

"The Black Tide Monsters are already right in front of us, and Blacksmith Uncle is still outside; if we wait here, we will surely die at the hands of the Black Tide Monsters."

"Someone must step forward to block these monsters for us to survive!"

"She's just a cripple, the most suitable person among us to be this 'hero'!"

"By doing this, I'm giving her a chance to be a hero!"

Bai He's words were righteous and solemn, as if letting Bai Lin take their place in sacrifice was him granting her the opportunity to be a hero!

The others, not being good with words, could not think of anything to say to counter Bai He for a moment.

Or perhaps someone among them secretly approved of Bai He's actions in their heart.

To hold out until Blacksmith Uncle arrives, someone must step forward to delay the Black Tide Monsters.

They all did not want to be that 'hero', but if they delayed, there would only be a dead end.

Everyone would die here!

Bai He doing this undoubtedly spared them the problem of deciding who would go to their death!

Therefore, they even began to ignore Bai Lin's screams.

Bai Lin watched as the two Black Tide Monsters charged toward her.

The teacher who used to care for her had never discriminated against her because of her inconvenient legs.

Now they had both turned into terrifying monsters, reaching out their demonic claws at her.

But she was utterly unable to resist the teacher's attack, only able to hold the scroll in her hand, giving her heart a final peace,

"Brother Bai Ka, I hope you can become the strongest warrior of Heixia Yu."

After saying that, Bai Lin slowly closed her eyes, awaiting the arrival of death.

However, at that moment she heard a whooshing wind sound.

Perhaps because her legs were powerless, her hearing was much stronger than others'.

Immediately afterward, she heard a loud bang not far ahead of her.

The rising gale blew her hair backward, flying wildly.

Bai Lin timidly opened her eyes and saw that the monster-transformed teacher before her had vanished without a trace.

And the other Black Tide Monster was seized by the tall Bai Tie around the throat, slammed hard to the ground, losing its ability to move.

Bai Tie casually tossed the Black Tide Monster to the ground, then immediately squatted down, looking concernedly at Bai Lin,

"Bai Lin, are you hurt?"

Bai Lin shook her head,

"Blacksmith Uncle, I'm fine."

Only then did Bai Tie relax his breath, gently turning Bai Lin's wheelchair to look at the few people hiding in the corner, whose eyes held both excitement and fear.

"Who can tell me what exactly is going on?"

Hearing Bai Tie's low voice, Bai He and the others' hearts jumped in fright.

The others exchanged glances, quietly distancing themselves from Bai He, leaving Bai He alone in place.

Bai Tie wasn't foolish; he immediately realized that Bai Lin had almost died at the hands of the Black Tide Monster.

It turned out to be the work of this brat Bai He!

He never expected that Bai He, though young, would be so ruthless!

Bai He's parents had even brought him to Bai Tie to become his disciple and learn the craft.

Bai Tie, at the time, temporarily refused Bai He's parents' request because Bai He was still too young.

Looking back now, my original refusal was absolutely a wise choice!

"This place is no longer safe; you should hurry home."

Bai Tie gave Bai He a cold glance, then pushed Bai Lin's wheelchair away from here.

He is famous throughout Lu Chui Zhen, but ultimately he is just a blacksmith, not a law enforcer.

Bai He did such a thing; naturally, someone else will discipline him.

And it's not his place to intervene.

Bai He had just opened his mouth to explain when he saw Bai Tie taking Bai Lin away.

He clenched his fists tightly, and a fierce intent suddenly arose in his heart!

He does not regret what he just did; letting Bai Lin die in his place is Bai Lin's honor.

What he hates is that these people actually betrayed him!

This is what caused Bai Tie to bear a grudge against him!

Bai Lin's parents died in battle while resisting the Black Tide years ago.

Thus Bai Lin is considered an orphan, having grown up living on charity.

However, due to the Black Tide's erosion, not only in Heixia Yu but all over the world, orphans like Bai Lin are not few.

Although they are orphans, they do not suffer any discrimination.

The households of Lu Chui Zhen even voluntarily contributed funds to build a welfare home.

It was not only for orphans like Bai Lin, but also in case they themselves might one day die under the Black Tide.

Their children would have someone to protect them and would not lack clothing or food!

But as the Black Tide approaches Lu Chui Zhen, the welfare home is no longer safe.

Bai Tie then brought Bai Lin back to the blacksmith shop.

Perhaps his blacksmith shop is now the safest place in all of Lu Chui Zhen!
