Dreams on the Green Island

Quickly licked it, raised his head and asked.

"I thought you were in shock." He forced a smile.A usually clean face was stained with a lot of sweat and dust.Galanz looked at his unprecedented embarrassment, and the vague thought in his heart became more and more determined.He lowered his head for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Hey, Yin Chen, get ready."

"What?" The movement stopped.

"Get ready for Yufeng to follow the two of us."

"What?" His eyes widened.

"I can't take it anymore!" Swallowing a mouthful of his own blood, he yelled in a hoarse voice.

Yin Chen silently bit his lower lip, and spoke softly, his voice seemed to comfort him: "There are only two strands left, hold on for a while, okay?"

"I do not!"

"Please, just a moment..."

"Yinchen, my shoulder blades are about to dislocate!...I'm coming to the head office!" He turned his hands behind his back and grabbed the fire box from his waist, and opened it.

A flame the size of a fingernail danced gently.Galanz raised his hand and threw it high into the air with one hand.

"Don't! Galanz!"

Willing to go his own way.He instantly removed the suppression of the soul power, and his fingers drew an arc in the air.The weak flame in the tinder box was quickly pulled away, turning into a slender fire dragon, which rushed towards the rope.

Powerless.

Unsurprisingly, powerless.The soul power is passing away rapidly.

Yin Chen slowly recovered his indifferent expression, and sighed lightly.Throwing away the small knife with a curled edge, releasing the suppression, and getting ready.

The fire dragon drilled a few times back and forth on the rope.

There was an unpleasant smell in the air.

Galanz shortened the time for the fire dragon to go back and forth, but the rapid loss of soul power has already made him a little overwhelmed.

Just as the fire dragon was gradually extinguished, three strange sounds echoed above the head.

"despair."

"Crack."

"Kara."

"What's going on?" Galanz asked, but the fire dragon didn't stop.

"do not know."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt his body sink, and the rope tied around his hands stirred twice, and then a sudden sense of falling came overwhelmingly.

More than ten meters, that is, a few blinks of an eye.Before he changed his posture and was ready to land, the ground was not a few feet away from his face.He exclaimed, his hands crossed subconsciously in front of him, and he closed his eyes to prepare for the disfigured fall... No, no, no, I'm afraid it's not just disfigured.It fell straight down, and I had to break my neck...

Just as he was thinking about whether his ending would be disfigured or his neck broken, he suddenly realized a problem.

He has stopped falling rapidly.

Opening his eyes, he saw that it was Yin Chen who was hanging against the wind, slowly placing the two of them on the ground.As soon as he landed, he ran over and hurriedly helped him up from the ground.

Galanz barely raised his other arm, and put it on Yin Chen's shoulder for support.

"...You have suffered." Yin Chen looked at his bruised hand and frowned.

"You too, ha ha." Galanz put his head on his shoulder, and stretched out his hand to pinch Yinchen's leg: "Oh, it's so strange, after being tied to it for so long, you... can still run... "

He pinched his leg with his hand, and was stunned.

Pinch again, yes, only the clothes can be pinched.Touch it, hard touch.

Yin Chen's expression was a little stiff.

It took many seconds for Galanz to react: "You...are you wearing leg armor?"

"Hmm." The answer came in a rather low voice.

"What about the breastplate?"

"I wear it."

"..." Galanz withdrew his hand and pushed Yinchen's sleeve away.

Aomori's elbow pads were exposed.

"You..." Galanz took a long time to hold back the words: "... No wonder you are so tired from walking..."

"Sorry...I just wanted to...prevent it from happening."

"Didn't I say that?" Galanz couldn't laugh or cry: "No matter what the situation is, I will fight in the front this time, and you will perform the soul release in the back?!"

"Sorry... I didn't know it would be so difficult to walk in the desert wearing armor..."

"That's all." Galanz looked at his drooping eyelids, thinking that he was also kind, and said: "...you don't listen to me very much anyway, just take it off later...but it makes me worry for nothing Field, how do you make up for it?"

"compensate……?"

"I was afraid that you would lose your leg to save me!" Galanz yelled angrily, took out the water bag, unplugged it, and wanted to take two gulps.But thinking about it, I still only drank a little bit.After drinking, he handed the water bag to Yinchen: "Here, girls are made of water, so how can you not drink more water?"

Yin Chen glared at him, but did not refute.After taking two hasty sips, he put the cork on and threw it aside.

"Oops... Hanging up in the middle of the night, my back hurts and my hands are cramping..." Galanz sighed, shaking his hands that had been tied up for a long time, and took out beef jerky from his backpack with the other hand: "This time I eat beef jerky." Stop eating?"

Yin Chen took it, but still ate it very meticulously.

"I said Yinchen is a beautiful woman, she can't fill her stomach with restraint..."

When he said this, half of his mouth was stuffed with meat, and his cheeks were slightly bulging.

Yin Chen just ate quietly, and after swallowing what was in his mouth, he said, "I'm used to it."

Galanz shrugged.After a while, he said again: "It's almost dawn now, isn't it?"

"do not know."

"Oh, by the way, what happened just now?" Galanz remembered the fall just now.The rope is quite resistant to burning, and Galanz didn't expect it to be burnt.He looked around, his eyes following the rope lying on the ground.Suddenly, it froze on the ground.

"That is……"

He whispered to himself, crawled over on hands and feet, and sat beside the thing.

That was his claw hook, and what was grasped by the hook was a precious stone.The translucent pale gold had lost the brilliance it had when it was above the head.Galanz took the palm-sized gemstone in his hand and fiddled with it back and forth.With the change of angle, from time to time, violent bursts of light shot out, and then disappeared.

"Hey, this thing is quite durable." Galanz scratched his hair, then crawled back to Yinchen's side: "The task was successfully completed... What's wrong with you?"

Yin Chen just raised his head.

Following his line of sight, the scorpion dragon was actually hanging down from the wide dome little by little.The deep mouth protrudes higher and higher, and with the small triangular eyes, it reveals a completely evil smile.

At the same time, countless sand and soil fell from the body of the dragon coiled around the walls.The little scorpions clustered around the dragon also fell down and were buried in the billowing dust.

"His-"

There was a strange noise.

Turning your head to look, the source of the noise is where Yinchen and Galanz came down.

At this moment, several pairs of pitch-black pincers protruded from there, longer than a human forearm.

Galanz's complexion was as dead as Yin Chen at the moment.

Chapter 22

"This...this is..."

Galanz stood up tremblingly and leaned towards Yin Chen beside him.It wasn't until a solid touch came from behind that he slowly stopped moving.

The scorpion dragon rose up bit by bit, and at the same time, the soil between its body was constantly falling down.

The entire temple was actually built with its huge body...

Landslides.Countless pitch-black scorpions descended and surrounded the two of them.

Dust billows.

Galanz dragged Yin Chen and ran left and right, finally escaped from the randomly smashed rocks and soil, and climbed up a nearby sand dune.Looking back, the temple had already collapsed, leaving only dust floating in the morning light and a dark hole on the ground with a scorpion dragon coiled around the ruins.

And the scorpion dragon coiled its long body around the hole, and there was a strange creaking sound from the friction between the scales, like the harsh sound of metal rubbing.The sunlight splashed on the golden scales, and was splashed back unreservedly, splashing into all the watching pupils.

In the cave surrounded by scorpion dragons, the existence of stairs can be vaguely seen.

It seemed that it was the ladder that trapped him and Yin Chen in the first place.

What is different from that time is that at this moment, black scorpions, large and small, are constantly crawling out from under the stairs, like streams of black water rolling out of the huge body of a scorpion dragon.Those scorpions are as big as a person's foot, and the small ones are as long as a person's forearm.They may not have seen the sun for too long, so that the moment they come into contact with the sun, they can't help but want to drill back into the hole again.But before it got in, more black scorpions gushed out of it.For a moment, the entire temple site was in chaos, with dark, wriggling insects everywhere.

"What should I do?" Yinchen looked at the creepy scene under the sandy slope and grabbed Galanz's finger.

"What should I do... run!" Galanz said, pulling out his gray double blades, and slashed several scorpions close to him with lightning speed.After a pause, he was ready to call out the soul beast and dark ride to run away.

"Don't panic...! We are leaving, what about the people of Habar?"

"What?" He froze for a moment, turned around and stabbed again.The black scorpion fell from mid-air, the two halves of the body were still trembling, but no trace of blood flowed out.

"Those innocent people in Habar town. We go, they will suffer."

Galanz opened his mouth, but said nothing.Looking back at the black scorpion army, he fell silent.

"It's a pity that you grew up in Habar. You have no conscience." Yinchen gave him a blank look, turned around and went to the place where the scorpions were most dense.While running, he summoned his Horcrux.A white flash of light traveled across the entire ruins in an instant.

"Hey! I didn't say no!" Galanz came back to his senses at this moment, yelled at Yinchen's back, grabbed his own knife and rushed in.

Outside the temple, the vast Harbar Desert ushered in a brand new dawn.

【Aslan Empire in the West · Fog Hidden Green Island】

While having breakfast, he suddenly heard a crisp "ding" from the opposite side.Looking up, he saw Gilgamesh picking up the knife that had fallen on the table and slowly wiping it.His expression remained calm, but his eyes were a little dazed.

"What's wrong?" Can't help but ask.

"It's okay." Gilgamesh smiled, lowered his eyelids, and cut a piece of foie gras on the plate: "We're fighting."

"A fight?" Qi La repeated subconsciously.But he could only watch the other party chewing slowly and swallowing what was in his mouth, and then said: "Well, it is inevitable. The source of the earth spent a lot of money for the gem. In the temple, thousands of gems are displayed. Thousands of stone beasts."

"Just for a jewel?"

"Yeah. That gemstone can absorb water elements." He started eating again, and in the middle of the conversation, there was no more to say.

"So...whether it's us or them, whoever holds it in their hands is in their own interest...right?"

"That's right." Swallowing the food in his mouth, he smiled softly: "Besides, the Habar Desert is in the buffer zone between the water and land boundaries. No matter who takes it, there is nothing wrong with it."

"Isn't that temple built by the source?"

As he asked, he subconsciously sat up straight.

"Yes. However, that was a long time ago - at that time, there was no clear administrative division among the four countries - the current generation of Diyuan people basically don't know its existence."

There was a brief silence.

"One more thing... I don't know if I should ask."

Gilgamesh raised his head, his blue eyes quietly focused on his delicate face.The sunlight shone through the window on half of his face, polishing the delicate skin to a ceramic-like luster.

"Why did you let the two apostles go?" He paused, took a breath, and said, "Since the Ice Emperor's envoy skipped over the priest and found you directly, it must be because he wants you to go in person."

Gilgamesh smiled slightly and put down his knife and fork.

There were two ding-dong sounds.

"Galanz was born and raised in Habar, and he is very familiar with it." He spoke in a soft voice, but his words were clear to his ears: "When the Ice Emperor issued the task, he happened to be next to him, and he invited to go there by himself. .And Yinchen, as his best partner, was also taken away."

"Where's Donghe?"

In fact, Qi La couldn't be more clear about this problem.The reason why he didn't go was probably because he still had the task of "monitoring Qila".

He just wanted to hear Gilgamesh's understanding.

"Donghe offered to go with him, but Galanz didn't like to see him very much." Having said that, he shrugged slightly and leaned back in his chair: "Donghe is older than the two of them, and he always habitually reprimanded them. However, Galanz is stubborn by nature, so it's no wonder Donghe doesn't like him."

After finding out what he wanted to know, he took the initiative to change the subject: "I feel that you seem to like earth ambassadors more than sea ambassadors?"

He nodded without hesitation: "But in the final analysis, the three envoys are all the same. They are the same as your own children. Would you favor a certain child and neglect the others?"

Qi La thought for a while, then shook her head lightly: "I prefer Lu Jue. The Second Envoy of Earth and Sea didn't take much care of me. Now that I think about it, I regret it. Those two children, until their death..."

Halfway through the conversation, he couldn't continue.He pushed back the chair and walked slowly to the window, resting his elbows on the white marble railing.

All sounds gradually dissipated.

The sunlight bypassed his back, wandering slowly in the air.

With a slight sigh.He stood up and stepped into the shadow behind him.

He put one hand lightly on Qila's shoulder, and wrapped it around his back.Looking sideways, the expression on that face was not as sad as imagined.

Indifference, just indifference.

In his beautiful eyes, there was only white indifference left at this moment.Like the endless snowfield in the north, only the cold wind like a small knife is howling and raging.

"Sorry." Gilgamesh leaned down, leaned into his ear, and said softly.

"There's nothing to be sorry about."

Shaking his wings, he pushed the people behind him away.

Still propping up his elbows, with a look of sadness on his face.

This is the first time I feel that these wings are practical...

"Really." He added, his voice flat and his expression flat.

Gilgamesh smiled quietly, leaned over beside him, resting his cheek on his wrist, and looked sideways at him, seemingly interested.

"The sun is so bright today." After being silent for a while, he straightened up, raised his hand and gently brushed the blond hair beside his ears: "Shall we go for a walk along the lake?"

"Ah?" He didn't come back to his senses for a moment, but he also straightened up, and a pair of eyes looked at him intentionally or unintentionally.

"Autumn noon is very suitable for walking." He tilted his head slightly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened: "And at this time, the red coral berries should be ripe too?"

He had heard it before.Red Coral berries, a generous plant that bears fruit from early summer to late fall.And the colder the temperature, the sweeter the berries.

"Aren't you happy?" He frowned and smiled softly: "You...are in a hurry to go to the imperial capital?"

"No, no..." He quickly denied, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was completely unnecessary.He said: "His Majesty the Ice Emperor has a morning meeting before lunch... no guests."

"Then, since you have nothing to do, you wouldn't mind taking a walk on this island with me?"

He said, holding out a hand.

Qi La looked at his outstretched hand, pursed the corners of her lips, and covered her own hand.

He smiled slightly, intertwining his fingers with his.With the other arm in his arms, he immediately descended to the terrace under the wind.

After a long time, he still has lingering fears about the fact that he suddenly grabbed himself and rushed out of the balcony.

I don't know if it's because his behavior itself is terrifying.

Or is it because of the way he smiles, so beautiful?

—I will probably remember it forever.

——that golden shadow with swaying hair and fluttering robes.

——His face was clearly defined as if shrouded in holy light.The deep shadows under the eyebrows concealed the pair of piercing pupils, making them blurry.The direction in which the line of sight is projected seems to be exceptionally clear.

——It was like a god walking down a path paved with sunlight.

The sky is fine.The shadows of the trees dance in the sun.

The two walked side by side in the low woods, silent.It's just that Gilgamesh would raise his hand from time to time to catch the berries that were blown by the wind.He conveniently summoned the water from the lake not far away to wash it carefully, and handed it over to Qi La beside him.

The latter just ate silently, mouthful by mouthful.

The berries are no bigger than a fist, but sweet.

He looked sideways slightly, watching the other party drooping eyelashes and lips, calmly manipulating the wind and water like embroidery, intuiting the sweetness of the berries, from the taste buds on the tip of the tongue, to the heart.

After washing the berries, he looked back to see that the Qi La beside him hadn't finished eating, so he held it in his hand, as if waiting for him to finish eating.

Perhaps a little embarrassed by his thoughtful "service", Qi La swallowed the pulp in his mouth and said softly, "Aren't you going to eat it?"

Shake your head. "Eat it every year, I'm tired." After speaking, he smiled, the corners of his upturned eyes were slightly curved, and the arc was gentle.

"That... I won't eat it." He swallowed the last bite of the berry and threw away the core.The hand that was holding the fruit curled up by his side for a while, then hung down.

He smiled, and took a bite of the washed berry.

"Those two children should be back soon." Swallowing the pulp, he narrowed his eyes, raised his head slightly, and looked at the sky among the branches not far away.The palm-sized leaves are no longer emerald green in midsummer.The bright golden color swayed a few times on the branches, and slowly fell into the path covered with fallen leaves at the foot, sleeping together with other leaves.

The faint rustling sound of boots stepping on the leaves is very pleasant.

"Exactly, you are going to the Ice Emperor." He slightly lowered his eyelids, looking at him: "By the way, take that gem."

"What about you?"

"Me? ... I don't want to go."

"Uh?"

"I've lived in seclusion for too long," he raised his face slightly, with a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, "I don't really want to see people anymore."

"Your apostle—isn't he a man?"

"Of course. But they all live in seclusion with me, like family."

"Then—" he dragged his voice intentionally or unintentionally, his beautiful Danfeng eyes slightly narrowed: "—what about me?"

He looked at him silently for a while.

Another moment.

The intertwined fingers clasped lightly.

Only then said softly: "I can't see you."

He also squinted his eyes, his expression was only ambiguous and vaguely lazy.

Chapter 23

【five years ago】

【Aslan Empire in the West · Habar Desert】

Dust billowed into the sky.With the scorching of the day, the air set off waves of heat.

In a small area on the eastern edge of the Khabar Desert, countless carapaces reflecting sunlight are moving rapidly, as if they are chasing something.It can be vaguely seen that in front of the large group of insects, there is a shadow trying to climb a tall sand dune.

Looking closely, they were actually two teenagers.A white robe, a black robe.Right now, the man in the white robe is holding the man in black on his shoulders, as if he is riding against the wind, he is heading towards the top of the sand dune.After a hard struggle, he finally climbed to the top of the dune, put the boy in black on his back on the ground, turned around, and looked at the swarm of scorpions climbing up from the dune with an indifferent expression.

The boy in black lay at his feet, struggling hard, as if he wanted to sit up.A slanted scar on his chest was still bubbling with blood, red flowing wantonly on his chest.

"The distance should be enough." The young man in white muttered softly, lowered his eyes, looked at his companions around him, his iceberg-like face was soaked with self-blaming sadness: "Don't move around. Otherwise, you will roll down!" , you won’t be counted as mine if you cut it later.”

He moved his eyes, as if he wanted to say something.

The black army came slowly.

Suddenly there was a strong wind and sand.In the vast expanse of yellow sand, a white shadow leaped high and came out of the dust like a frightened bird. At the same time, there was a white light like a flying arrow flying up.

He raised his right hand to his chest and made a complicated gesture.

The white light hanging beside him flashed like a breath, and quickly transformed into thousands of beams, rushing towards the desert under his feet like a well-trained osprey.Looking up from the ground, the sky looks like a pool of water wrinkled by the wind, sparkling with short white awns.Those white lights were as fast as lightning, and within two or three blinks of an eye, they killed a circle of black scorpions nearby, then quickly swam back to their master and disappeared into the air.

The boy in black on the ground finally straightened up with difficulty, knelt on the ground on one knee, raised his head and looked at his companion, wondering what he was thinking.

The boy in white in the air raised his hands flatly.With the palms up, he closed his eyes and opened his mouth slightly, as if he was singing a hymn silently.

The flying sand and dust coiled around his feet suddenly roared maniacally, rushing towards the sky along with the raised gravel from the ground, as if someone cast a huge golden net, covering a small piece of sky.

The boy in white shook his outstretched hands lightly, and immediately threw them forward.The giant net in the sky squirmed, quickly covered the ground, and crushed the insects on the ground.The originally invisible wind blade was now revealed by the dust.As dense as raindrops, as sharp as electricity.In an instant, far and near, as far as the eyes can see, there is a scene distorted by the air current.

The young man in black robe on the ground looked up dumbfounded, his eyes were as wide as copper bells.It wasn't until the white-clothed boy slowly descended and glanced back at him that he forced out a sentence: "Wow Yinchen, you're so handsome buddy! I've decided to worship you!!"

The corner of Yin Chen's mouth twitched unnaturally a few times, and he threw a scornful eye knife at him.Then bent down to help him up, put his arm on his shoulder, and said solemnly: "Okay, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time. Call your dark knight, let's go quickly."

The ground under his feet trembled suddenly.

"what happened?"

"who knows."

Galanz tilted his head and smiled strangely: "Our people in Habar are quite hospitable, and it seems that the desert is too. It seems that it is not willing to let us go, and it released something extraordinary."

There was another burst, more intense than before.

At the same time, from nowhere, there was a strange sound like laughter.

"Chuck, cluck, cluck..."

The ground trembled violently again.

"Could it be..." Yin Chen lowered his head and looked at the ground under his feet.That weird laughter seemed to come from under his feet: "The scorpion dragon... is chasing...?"

"Impossible!" Galanz shook his head decisively: "The concentration of the golden soul mist here is much higher than that in the temple, which proves that the scope of the scorpion dragon's absorption of soul power cannot reach here. The little soul we used before I'm afraid that even one of its little toes can't be fully recovered, it's enough for it to fly around in the sky to frighten people—"

"Then tell me, this is..."

Suddenly the topic changed and he said hastily:

"Something is coming." They said in unison.

The two looked at each other and nodded.

Galanz frowned, as if troubled: "It can be sensed in all directions... In this way, it should be very close to us...but..."

look around.The space between the sky and the earth was empty, and even a small flying insect could not be seen.

"Underground!" Yin Chen's brows suddenly tightened, and he stretched out his hand to grab Galanz, and instantly flew into the air against the wind.The sand and dust under their feet were stirred up by the rapid cyclone and flew high into the sky.

At the same time, there was also a huge, moon-white hook that jumped up.

【five years ago】

【Aslan Empire in the West · Fog Hidden Green Island】

The geese rise and the geese fall, white feathers and black feathers flutter all over the sky.The whispers of countless birds mixed into a noisy symphony.

Two figures appeared in their line of sight through the shadow cast by the dense forest.But they did not approach, but stood at a distance, their conversation drowned out in the clamor.

"There are more migratory birds coming to spend the winter this year than in previous years."

"Ah."

"What, are you tired?"

He didn't answer, but just silently looked at the thousands of birds by the lake, his eyes blank.

The migratory birds are all gone, and late autumn is here.

It's getting closer to that day.

A nameless sadness rises up and overflows the vocal cords.

"It doesn't matter. Even if tomorrow is the deadline, I still choose to be with you today."

He was startled, and then looked sideways at the source of the voice: "You—"

"You don't say anything, I have to understand it myself." The other party just shrugged, and the way he smiled made people feel annoyed.As he spoke, he stretched out his slender arms.Hands slid down her waist, wrapping him in her arms.

He lowered his eyelids, quietly listening to him whispering in his ear.

"After that day, you will be the same as before."

"how?"

"Hmm... living well?"

He laughed dryly: "That's natural."

"Still like a beautiful enigma?"

"Like it?"

"Like. Sometimes, even though I know what you're thinking, I still don't understand you."

He raised the corner of his mouth, and gently put his hand on his: "There are some things you don't need to know."

"I know." He smiled, let go of his hand, his eyes drifted away, and his expression moved slightly.

"what happened?"

Gilgamesh shook his head, and said, "They've encountered a little trouble... Have there been spirit beasts appearing on Habar's side recently?"

"Huh?" He was stunned for a while, recalling the news that came out of Tiangeli recently: "Yes, belly scorpion [Snow Thorn]...do you want to go? I have been to that temple, and I can directly make pawns..."

Gilgamesh interrupted him with a slight wave of his hand.He took him by the shoulders without any hassle: "It's hard for the two of you to live together once... huh?" Then the face of the overwhelmed country turned red in an instant, and he moved away angrily, causing him to laugh: "Am I not right?"

"Yes, that's right." There was obvious anger in his tone.

There was a long silence, only the boiling birdsong around.

"Hey."

"Huh?" He looked sideways, facing those light gray eyes.He was a little surprised—the look in that look clearly contained helpless pleading, like a drowning man eager to grab the last straw.

"You...would you hate me? After that..."

He looked into those eyes and said without hesitation: "Yes."

Those pleading gazes flickered and extinguished in an instant, turning into dead ashes.

He was still smiling, his expressions and words were completely unsuitable: "Because you ruined us."

Qi La lowered her head, biting her lower lip lightly.

"After that, it doesn't really matter what I do. As I told you, I have already foreseen all this."

He took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

He thought of his former self—the original self hated him, and tried every means to kill him to avenge his apostle.I did a lot of things for this purpose-including abandoning my self-esteem that I thought was unforgivable at the time.

But in the end he forgave his actions.Probably, it was because the other party forgave himself first.

After that, he was not suffering at all, but was very happy and happy.

But now, just thinking about what he will do one day in the future, he will feel extremely painful.

Nearly two years, neither long nor short.It is enough to make the two souls have a deep enough bond, so deep that they want to escape, but it will only become more unforgettable.

He slowly raised his hands and covered his face.He felt his eyes hurt, as if they were being smoked.

He felt a hand gently pat on his shoulder, then, again.Then slide down and wrap around his waist.

He let himself fall, leaned against the man, and put his arms around him.

"why."

"Huh?" Came from the ear, is a low response.

"Why... I always feel that love is more bitter than hate."

Gilgamesh sighed softly, but did not answer.

He used a declarative tone.

The same is true.

Love is more bitter than hate.

【five years ago】

【Aslan Empire in the West · Habar Desert】

The heat wave is rolling.

The original blue sky, because of the whistling of flying sand, turned into a puddle of muddy water, with air currents intertwined and khaki turbulent.

A burst of metal-cutting screams collided in the air, irritating the eardrums and nerves of the person—a pair of thin gray blades had already sunk deeply into its eyes at this moment.The cyan liquid burst out from the sore, splashing the thin blade's owner all over.The scorpion, which seemed to know no pain at all, began to wriggle crazily at this moment, with its layered mouthparts constantly opening and closing.The boy holding the gray blade tightly was thrown back and forth like a paper kite with a broken string, but he couldn't get it off.

At this moment, a white light flashed suddenly on the sand slope not far away, but in the blink of an eye, the white light penetrated into the mouthparts of the white scorpion like lightning.

The white scorpion screamed suddenly, and writhed wildly.The boy holding the gray blade finally couldn't take it anymore and was thrown out, landing on the sand not far away.

A white shadow rose and fell quickly, stopped beside him, lifted him up, and leaned against him.Then he stretched out his hand and waved suddenly.

The white scorpion screamed in agony, as if it could tear people's eardrums apart—countless white awns pierced out of its body, and blue blood splashed like a fountain.

Not long after, White Scorpion's final struggle also stopped.It let go of its final wail, and its huge body crouched on the sand.Countless white awns criss-cross its body, making it look like a scorpion-shaped needle pack.

Finally, it stopped.

The white light came out from the scorpion's body, four merged into two, two merged into one, and finally merged into a white light, disintegrated into white smoke, and penetrated into the young man's body.Immediately afterwards, the gray blade on the scorpion's eyes also disappeared.

Yin Chen lowered his head and let out a long breath of relief.He lifted Galanz, who was leaning on his shoulder, and patted his cheek mercilessly.

"Wake up wake up... Galanz?"

Galanz opened his eyes weakly, "Huh?"

"Is the gem all right?"

He shook his head, as if dying.

"what happened to you?"

His eyes slid down, but he saw a slanting streak of blood on his chest, the fresh blood that had just flowed out had dyed his chest dark red.

The wound is open.

Yin Chen was stunned for two seconds, then quickly covered his seal with his hand, a large amount of soul power surged into his body, but the wound did not heal at all.

"This...why hasn't healed yet? Are you poisoned?"

Galanz narrowed his eyes and nodded feebly.

"Then you didn't say it earlier!" He suddenly yelled, "If you said it earlier, if you said it earlier—I'm sorry, but I made you do such a dangerous thing..."

He waved his hand and said softly, "It's okay."

"Is it serious?" The other party obviously didn't think so, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his expression was anxious.

Galanz looked at him, grinned, and showed an ugly smile: "It's okay, I have been stung since I was a child, and I have developed resistance...Give me a while, and then I will call the little black donkey out, let's hurry up ……Walk."

As he spoke, he suddenly coughed violently, and his whole body fell down.

"You—are you all right?"

Galanz waved his hand, then suddenly grasped his hand tightly, and coughed violently again—followed by, spit out a mouthful of bloody white foam.

"I hurt my lungs." He frowned and murmured in a low voice.

Yin Chen looked left and right, stretched out his hand and waved it around, blocking the wind and sand from a small space.

The sound of howling wind disappeared instantly.

He cast his eyes on the white scorpion corpse not far away, narrowing his eyes slightly.

He wondered if he was wrong.

He raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, the scene remained the same.

——The huge white scorpion was still crouching on the spot.It's just that the white jade shell is gradually being dyed black.The black spread from its head and covered its entire body, as if the night had swallowed the sky.

——And in its open mouthparts, a small white dot was rapidly moving out, towards their direction.

——And, it got bigger and bigger.

—It was a brand new, white scorpion.

Yin Chen looked at it, bit his lower lip silently, and slowly frowned.He thought for a while, reached out and patted Galanz on the shoulder.

"What's the matter... Damn!" Galanz opened his eyes, but felt strangely covered by shadows.Looking up, the huge and ferocious white scorpion made him curse subconsciously.

The white scorpion carapace presents a jade-like translucent texture.
