North Journey

Why Shaohuafa ([-])

Chi'er Lake.

Under the glow of the setting sun, the red lake exudes a more treacherous atmosphere than usual.Not only the water of the lake, but with Chi'er Lake as the boundary, the land a hundred miles to the west is as red as if it had been soaked in blood.

The dark red tamu flowers grow wantonly on this land, and the ferocious vines are intertwined with each other, making people daunting.

Such a dangerous place is often flocked to by players with "immortality". However, this land is different from other deserted places.

Tamuhua, a level 75 mutant plant monster, belongs to fire and lives in groups.

For players who are generally only in their [-]s and [-]s, this place is still too dangerous.The high-level monsters in the Kingdom of Zero all have wisdom comparable to power, and the tamurhua that grows in groups is enough to make any player with lesser technical and tactical levels and insufficient strength go home.

"Undercurrent, what should I do?"

Looking at the criss-crossed blood-colored vines behind him, the blond knight holding an epee poured down a bottle of blue holy scriptures, ready to continue fighting at any time.The knight's armor couldn't hide her proud figure, but no one present would despise her because of her beauty.As the only class with healing abilities in this team without a priest, she not only replaced the role that the priest should play, but also resisted most of the attacks.

Paladin, Juliana.

"Go in."

An Liu looked at his somewhat embarrassed companions, gritted his teeth, and rushed to the tamu flowers first.If he remembered correctly, there was a place for them to rest in the tamuhua bushes, as long as they could break through the blockade of tamuhua and step in there.

Wuhen, the ice mage holding the staff, was always silent in this team, but when An Liu made a decision, he was the first to follow him into the tamu flower bush, without hesitation.

"Brother Anliu, Brother Wuhen, wait for me and Tuanzi..."

The little girl in the blue short skirt glanced at Sylvia with complicated expressions, curled her lips, and dragged her younger brother into the tamu flowers, and the light wind surrounded the two of them, letting their The footsteps are also lighter.

"Don't call me Tuanzi."

The little boy, who was [-]% similar to the girl, pursed his lips, his face was expressionless like Wuhen's, but when such an expression landed on his chubby little face, there was nothing left that made people want to pinch him. A pinch of cuteness.

Although he seemed to be full of disdain for his sister, the little boy still didn't break away from his sister's hand, the staff fell to the ground, and a wall of fire rose into the sky behind them.

"Damn it! It's still a step too late!"

"Captain, do we still have to chase?"

"……Walk."

"But the president..."

"They're looking for death to break in, do you want to go too? Or do you think the losses of the second regiment haven't been enough?" This time chasing and killing Kamli didn't hold back the anger in his stomach, but... thinking that his family would As usual, he sighed, "Arrange people to patrol here. Once they come out, I will be notified as soon as possible."

"Yes, Captain."

"Huh, I didn't expect that we really escaped. Juliana, this time is really thanks to you."

Although he chose the profession of thieves, Will Byron is not a dark person. He was indeed obsessed with hatred some time ago, but now he can treat himself well with the bold and free-spirited personality he once had. approved person.

He put one hand on Juliana's shoulders, and there was a ruffian-like smile on that handsome but very attractive face, which made him a little more charming.

Juliana slapped his hand off mercilessly, and found a place to sit down at random, with a dazzling and dizzying heroism on her flamboyant face.

Catherine, whose arms were a little numb from constantly drawing the bow and shooting arrows, sat down silently on the other side, her lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she chose to remain silent in the end.

The little girl whose game ID is "Guoguo" looked at this and that, a flash of interest flashed in her eyes, she tilted her head, as if thinking of something, the more interest in her eyes.

"Guoguo."

The boy pulled her sleeves, his face was serious.

Disappointment was evident on the girl's face, she rubbed her younger brother's tender little face,

"Okay, I'll listen to Tuanzi."

Obviously, a boy would never let a girl bully him, not even his own sister.Breaking free from the girl's clutches, the boy changed his position and sat on the other side to recover the previously lost magic power.

When Shang Shixu stepped into the tamu flowers, what he saw was the appearance of the six people taking a rest.

He helplessly raised his forehead, and didn't want to have anything to do with the Child of Destiny who was known as a synonym for trouble so early, but just as he was about to retreat, he was already noticed.

"Who?"

An ice blade flew towards the eyes at a very high speed, and the figure of the thief was hidden in a place where the sun could not shine.The elements of wind and fire became active in the air, golden holy light rose from the knight and shrouded every companion, and the archer's arrow pointed at his direction from afar.

Ice mage, Wuhen;

shadow assassin, undercurrent;

Wind mage, Guoguo;

Fire mage, Tuanzi;

Paladin, Juliana;

Moon Archer, Sylvia.

Although it is not complete, the sharp knife team that Shang Shixu saw in his original destiny has already shown its glory.He raised his scepter, and the light curtain enveloped his body, blocking all possible attacks.

"I was just passing by."

Seeing that it was just a priest, everyone else relaxed a little, but Anliu and Sylvia became more vigilant.

Emerging from the shadows, An Liu's face was sombre that Juliana and the others had rarely seen.

"Samuel, what are you doing here?"

Although Samuel is a member of the Immortal Wings Guild, to be honest, Samuel has never provoked an undercurrent, no matter in his previous life or in this life.If the Immortal Wing hadn't been so important, Undercurrent wouldn't have gone to great lengths to snatch it from Samuel.However, no matter how much he denies it, it can't change the fact that he used to be so jealous and envious of Samuel.

The proud son of heaven, born noble.

In the past when he was deceived, humiliated and finally died miserably, Will Byron also met Samuel.At that time, Samuel was dressed in a pure white robe, with a pale complexion, but he was still shining like a morning star in the crowd.All the people who had faintly shown arrogance in front of him silently lowered their heads when facing Samuel. Even Caesar, who was willful and reckless, restrained his wantonness in front of Samuel.

At that time, he was thinking, what is he not as good as him?It's just that there is no monstrous power that only faintly reveals a corner of Samuel's back.

After human beings set foot in the interstellar world, they moved from many countries to the federation. Later, they experienced several turbulences, and finally achieved the current Ladis Empire.

However, no matter what period, what kind of rule, and power, it will always be like a huge mountain of glory pressing on the heads of ordinary people.The Ladis Empire is the choice of the people today, but this does not mean that this empire can bring fairness to everyone.

Some people settle for such mediocrity, but not Will Byron.From a long time ago, Will Byron had a certain impulse in his heart, and the death of his previous life completely stimulated this desire in him.

——He wants to be the one who stands at the top of the pyramid.

Perhaps, this is something branded in the blood of the Zephaniah family, even though Will Byron never took the surname.

How could Shang Shixu fail to see what the light flashing in Will Byron's eyes represented, but he didn't mind.He doesn't want too much trouble, but that doesn't mean he's afraid of trouble.During the period of traveling on the mainland, he has basically mastered the knowledge that Samuel should have.And his strength made him not afraid of the six of them.

Although the six of them and the four partners they will have in the future will play a huge role in that war in the trajectory of fate, Shang Shixu knows that is not all.In the end, the war depends on the elite army of the empire. Their outstanding performance is only because the main battlefield is not where most people can see it.

The empire needs people who have experienced the baptism of blood and fire, because the emergence of the Sol tribe broke people's perception that there are only humans in the universe as intelligent creatures; while the emperor needs the promotion of civilians to end the situation where the ancient family holds power.The emperor's ambition is doomed that he does not want to be restrained by others, and the emperor's eyes will never only stay in the territory under his own rule. The emergence of the Sol tribe is a risk and an opportunity.

Therefore, this time, if Will Byron cannot meet the needs of Isaac Ladislaus, Shang Shixu does not mind completing the task delivered by Ming Qi. After all, this task has not violated his in principle.

"Big brother, are you alone?"

Guoguo didn't seem to notice the tense atmosphere, walked up to Shang Shixu, raised her head, and looked at him with big blinking eyes.

"Guoguo!"

There was obvious anger in the boy's voice, he held back his restless sister, and looked at Samuel with defensive eyes.Even though he couldn't see any danger from Samuel, he could faintly sense the indifference exuded from Samuel.It wasn't like Brother Wuhen who deliberately showed his indifference in order to alienate others. The indifference in Samuel brought him a completely ruthless feeling.

Shang Shixu looked at the boy's serious face, and a trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes.Even though he has been reincarnated in several worlds, he still remembers his life as Shang Shixu.

Everything that he experienced in that life seemed to be engraved in his mind very clearly, making him subconsciously act in accordance with the outlook on life and principles that he was taught in that life.

This boy is very similar to a businessman.Every businessman seems to be like this when he was a child, he was a mature young man, so he was proud of it, and kept a straight face all day long, trying to prove that he was no longer a child.As everyone knows, such a mood falls in the eyes of adults, but there is only a lot of cuteness left, which makes people laugh.However, as the youngest of the generation of merchants, Shang Shixu has only seen such an expression on his only little niece.And that kid didn't even make it past the age of six.

The man of destiny, inherits the ambition of heaven, can communicate with the dark, can name all things, knows the past, knows the future, is human and not human, and is a god and not a god.At that time, the Shang family received this name and regarded it as a family member of heaven.However, as time passed, I realized that this power is both a blessing and a curse.

Those who know the destiny without changing it are said to be in harmony with the sky; those who know the future but change it are against the sky.Even though they know that it is impossible to change the fate of fate and say that there will be no good results in the future, how many people can really watch the disaster come and do not avoid it?As small as the death of a clan member, as large as the rise and fall of a country, that sentence of "not a god" doomed the future of the Shang clan's demise.

It's not that businessmen haven't thought about avoiding such a future.There was a generation of patriarchs who led the whole clan to live in seclusion in order to protect the clan inheritance, and strictly prohibited the clan members from stepping out of the place of residence.From then on, the Shang family lived in the deep mountains and deep valleys, farming, enjoying themselves, not hearing about internal strife and disputes, and ignoring several dynasties, and the children of the family were able to prosper day by day.

However, only 200 years later, foreigners invaded and the nation was in peril.The love of compatriots engraved in their hearts, sharing weal and woe, made the members of the Shang clan resolutely devote themselves to this troubled world regardless of the ban.Find the Lord of the Ming Dynasty, point to the labyrinth; destroy falsehood, eliminate evil spirits.Until the family and the country gradually settled down, and the foreign humiliation was gone, the number of people in the clan who leaked the secrets and acted against the sky was no longer known.The cause and effect are endless, and the retribution is on oneself, the blood is withered, and the fate is determined.

"Yin and Yang move in four seasons, and each has its own order." In the name of Shang Shixu, is it not the helplessness of the Shang family to accept their fate?

The author has something to say:

There is great beauty in the heaven and earth without talking about it, there are clear laws in the four seasons without talking about it, and everything has a reason without talking about it.A sage, from the beauty of heaven and earth, reaches the truth of all things.That's why the perfect person does nothing, the great sage does not do anything, and it is said to observe the heaven and the earth.Today, the gods are extremely refined, and they are as versatile as they are.Things are dead and alive, and no one knows their roots.Flat but all things have been solid since ancient times.Liuhe is a giant, and it is not separated from it; Qiuhao is small, and it is waiting for it to become a body; all things in the world are ups and downs, and they will not die for life; Animals do not know: this is called the root, which can be observed in the sky!
