Love Warriors Cong Liangji

...Only, the moonlight shining through the cracks in the bars belongs to "him".

【I am free, at least I still have the moonlight. 】

——Looking at the waning moon covered by dark clouds, a certain man thought so.

What came to my ears was the sound of the waves, day after day, year after year, never stopping at any time, as punctual as a machine but inexplicably gentle.

If it is the beating heart that reminds the man that his body is not yet decayed, then it is the moonlight that makes him realize the existence of the soul, and it is Haitao that records the passage of time for him.

Although these things are meaningless in this place: the body will be eroded by the harsh environment, the soul will be stained by resentment and sin, and time will gradually stand still in the small stone chamber.

——What he cherishes is destined to be invaded by darkness and damp, and eventually turned into a pile of rot.

But even so, the man did not give up.

The battle officially ends at the moment of admitting defeat, and the sailing is equal to standing still when you lose your way. A person's defeat is not determined by the weakness of the body and strength, but by the collapse of the spirit.

As long as you have a will like steel, neither gods nor guns can kill you, not knock you down!

It's not even close - the man with the beard that hasn't been combed for a long time shows a smile hidden in the weeds, which is almost invisible.

It's just this level of suffering, it's not even close!

No matter how time passes by in the outside world, no matter how dark hatred erodes my spirit, no matter how hunger and sickness torture this frail body - it is still far away!

Only two people in this dark realm know that although he is trapped in rocks and steel, he is the freest person in the world!

-

"so big……"

Although he had gone through the first three floors and had a full understanding of the scale of this so-called "prison tower", Lixiang was still taken aback by the sudden opening of the world when he really came to the fourth floor.

Compared with the palaces on the first and third floors, and the city on the second floor, it is completely impossible to describe the size of this place, because the world is covered by gold as far as the eye can see.

No, to correct it, it is not gold, but the yellow sand desert that is as dazzling as gold.

If the sand is compared to water droplets, then this is the depths of the ocean where "big waves" rise and fall one after another. There is neither edge nor reference. It seems that the scene in front of us will continue to the end of the world.

"Meow!"

The scorching yellow sand scalded Yuzao Mao's fleshy ball, which startled her so much that she jumped directly onto Jiang Liu.

"This is an inherent enchantment."

While being hugged tightly by the Yuzao cat, Jiang Liu said without changing his face.

"Strictly speaking, the product of the realization of the mental landscape is the same thing as Himeji Castle on the second floor, except that the scale of this floor is larger."

"...Does this mean that the guardians who rule this layer are also stronger?" Li Xiang showed a troubled expression.

Jiang Liu smiled, touched the girl's head and said, "It doesn't matter, we will leave things like fighting to us. You are the master, as long as you support me from behind."

"Ok!"

Li Xiang nodded, but her small face quickly pulled down.

"But where should we go?"

"This……"

"This way."

Just as Jiang Liu was about to speak, the old priest with a somewhat dazed expression suddenly spoke.

He pointed his finger to one side, frowned slightly, and his eyes flashed with a complex expression of confusion and enlightenment.

"Although I don't know why, I think it should be done this way... It's strange, why am I so sure? There is obviously no basis..."

Jiang Liu and Lixiang glanced at each other, and the black, long and straight girl looked at the old priest curiously.

"Uncle, is this the first time you have obtained 'Apocalypse'? But since it is a heroic spirit, it is not surprising to have this."

"Apocalypse?"

The priest froze for a moment, his brows furrowed even deeper.

"Are you talking about the voice of God? How is it possible... This kind of thing only exists in the records of religious classics. I have neither seen an example of actual existence, nor do I think that special existence will appear."

"Huh?" Li Xiang tilted her head, "Why?"

"Because God's love for the world is equal!"

The priest suddenly became excited: "Only favoring a certain person, giving exclusive honor and favor... This kind of thing is absolutely impossible!"

"However, Joan of Arc and Martha in history..."

Lixiang would like to cite some well-known examples. The key is that she also knows those people and knows that the so-called "God's revelation" is real.

However, before she could finish speaking, the old priest interrupted her roughly.

"That's all shameless lies of the church's ill-intentioned people!

It is absolutely impossible for our beloved God to give special attention to an individual, He loves everyone equally, because we are all His children! "

"Father..."

"Otherwise...otherwise..."

"Well!"

Li Xiang suddenly choked up, because she saw a slightly dazzling light gliding across the face of the old priest.

"Otherwise...why didn't you respond to me once? Why...abandoned his child..."

The priest's eyes were red, and his resolute expression had disappeared. At this moment, he was like an ordinary old man who had suffered a lot.

—but soon he was gnashing his teeth!

"...Why, why did it appear at this time! Why!"

"Ah, uncle, don't cry—brother?"

Just now Li Xiang instinctively wanted to step forward to comfort the old priest, but found that Jiang Liu had unknowingly stood in front of her, just blocking her body.

"...Father, have you recovered your memory?"

Jiang Liu asked calmly, "Do you remember who you are?"

The old priest was silent for a long time, the melancholy and sad atmosphere gradually dissipated, and he returned to his rock-solid and reliable expression.

"It's just a few flickering fragments...but it's strange, although I don't recall much, but occasionally there will be uncontrollable emotions like this."

The old priest pursed his lips and shook his head slightly.

"I'm sorry I lost my temper just now, but I can't control it..."

"It's ok."

Jiang Liu took a deep look at him, exhaled slowly, and the tense atmosphere lingering around suddenly dissipated.

"Emotions need to be vented. Everyone has such moments. Occasionally, I want to cry suddenly."

"I'm causing you trouble."

"No, it might as well be a great help.

Anyway, as long as you follow the guidance of [Apocalypse], you will be able to find the guardian of this floor. "

Jiang Liu smiled and said, "Please, Father."

Chapter 486: The Tsunami of Hot Sand!

"Roar!!!!!"

The yellow sand is flying, the beasts are roaring, and the earth is shaking!

The huge mass did not fall into the quicksand, but walked flat on the soft sand dunes. Correspondingly, almost all the impact force was evenly distributed on the ground, and it was transmitted along the foothold like waves. Creatures are hit with kinetic energy as if hit head-on by a truck.

hum!

Before the invisible shock wave arrived, Jiang Liu had already turned around and picked up Lixiang, and jumped high into the air.

As for the priest and the cat who stayed on the ground, one relied on a well-trained body and the physical protection of faith, and the other relied on unimaginable agility and balance, all of which easily resolved this attack.

"ah!"

The soft long hair was blown away by the strong wind, the girl screamed and hugged Jiang Liu tightly, but Jiang Liu didn't have time to feel the softness leaning on her body, her eyes were fixed on the huge monster on the ground, and the corners of her mouth were vague evoked a smile.

That's a lion!

Another giant!

It has thick and powerful limbs and body like a lion, but its head has facial features and expressions like a human being. It is obviously an extremely weird appearance, but it has an inexplicable sense of sacredness, proudly above all life in this sea of ​​hot sand.

Sphinx!

Or call it "Sphinx", "Father of Terror"!

An anecdote spread in the hot sand countries such as the Middle East and Egypt, a mythical beast famous for its power and wisdom over human beings, and also the guardian of the Egyptian pharaoh's tomb, the most representative mythical beast in that area!

Just like when you mention Dongfang, you will think of dragons, and when you mention pyramids, you will naturally think of this wonderful existence.

At this moment, standing in front of Jiang Liu and the others is the sphinx, the sphinx, and its power is worthy of its popularity, even the mythical beast that stands at the top of all phantom beasts!

Except for special existences such as Fafnir and Hydra, the Sphinx is already a top-ranked Eudemons!

But what's even more frightening is that this thing lives in groups!

Jiang Liu looked further away, and saw that in the undulating ocean of yellow sand, one after another, the dunes were turned upside down, and countless hot sands were flying in all directions, just like giant whales playing in the ocean.

But what appeared next was not a whale, but a sphinx that was countless times more terrifying than that, each of which had magical powers at the level of divine beasts!

The old priest followed [Apocalypse] to lead the crowd forward, but he crashed directly into the beast's lair... Was the priest deliberately leading the wrong direction with ill intentions?

Do not!

Rather, it is because I found the right direction that I met these terrifying guys!

Now that we have seen such a powerful beast as the Sphinx, the real guardian of this layer is not far away.

"Om----!!!!"

A wave of magic power that is very different from other sphinxes flashed through the atmosphere, not through roaring, but its existence alone caused the atmosphere to vibrate.

Li Xiang felt something in his heart, looked into the distance in mid-air, and then saw that special existence.
