I can't sleep well after the wind and rain parting

, I don’t know whether to say yes or no.

It's like he clearly knows that his current level is only holding that person back, but in his heart he desperately wants to stand by his side and fight side by side with him.

"Don't talk about what you have. I don't like to hear lies."

There seemed to be a wind, the kind of late summer and early autumn evening wind, coming fiercely and whistling past, as if taking away the last trace of hesitation in the standing boy's heart.

"Ask your heart and answer me."

"Yes!" He really said it, and answered cleanly.He clenched his fists, with blue veins everywhere and firm eyes, "I want to become stronger. I want to fight side by side with Yingjie!"

As determined as the chestnut-haired boy who was young and handsome and was about to graduate from the military academy.

"In fact, direct physical output is not suitable for you." Ye Xiu looked up and down the small body of the young man in front of him, with a hint of disgust in his eyes, "You are not suitable to be a priest either, your reaction is not fast enough." Not caring about the hurt expression on the boy in front of him, he added another sentence.

However, he finally changed the subject, "But you have your strengths. You are good at grasping the overall situation and making quick judgments—do you know what is suitable for this quality?"

Qiao Yifan shook his head blankly.

But Ye Xiu smiled.

"Auxiliary magic with time attribute and magic attribute is the most suitable for you. Acceleration assistance, setting enchantments and traps, these are the most easily overlooked but very important parts in team battles. And those who do this kind of assistance need you like this The qualities of a person—inconspicuous, unresponsive, poor physical strength, but, knowing the situation clearly and judging accurately and quickly.”

"Come on. You've got a month."

Ye Xiu turned around and walked into the hall again.

The banquet has already begun.

I don't know who is laying the Easter eggs, colorful papers are flying everywhere in the hall, and the sound of laughter almost drowns out Ye Xiu's not-so-loud voice.

"Get stronger. Then stand by his side—"

"Fight together."

However, he clearly captured the last words Ye Xiu said to him before his figure disappeared.

Chapter 6

Ye Xiu often has a dream recently.

In the dream, there was a vast expanse of whiteness, as if the heavy snow was about to stop.

The cold wind swirls in the same place over and over again, and the snow on the bare tree branches is beaten down violently by it—"pounding and fluttering"—rhythmically like The sound of footsteps was so regular that it made people tremble with fear.It was obviously a cloudy day, with dark clouds pressing down on the sky, but the thick snow reflected the sky and the earth, bathing every object and scene in this world in a different kind of light.

He knelt down in the snow.

Two centimeters away from his heart, bright red blood flowed out; he moved his lips desperately to speak, but the viscous liquid with a strong rust smell was blocked in his throat, making him unable to speak out sadly; his black His hair was fluttering in disorder in the new wind, blocking his eyes, but the snow was so bright that even if the hair blocked his sight, he could still see through the slits of his eyes when he desperately tried to close his eyes——

Huang Shaotian was holding the Guidance Gun in his hand, standing two centimeters away, the diameter of the gun's muzzle was facing Ye Xiu.

His mouth opened and closed, as if talking.

The wind was too strong, and Ye Xiu's ears were filled with various background sounds: the continuous "booming" sound of shelling, the sound of "hissing" fires that were burning hotter and hotter, people running around screaming and noisy The sound, the "gudong" sound of saliva produced by monsters swallowing living things.

But Ye Xiu knew what Huang Shaotian was talking about.

He is talking.

— to live.

"The star cup burst!? No, no, no, instructor Ye Xiu, I can't accept this! This is the crystallization circuit of lost magic, it's too precious! Besides, it's more effective on you. I, I can't..."

In the magic training room on the third floor of the main building of Tiny Herb Military Academy, Qiao Yifan was violently shaking his head and waving his hands, trying to reject the crystallization circuit in front of him—it was a time-attribute crystallization circuit, and the gray color was not as legendary. What a dazzling light, it looks very inconspicuous, as if it is a round pebble picked up by the side of the road.

Just now Ye Xiu casually took out such a thing from the pocket of his hoodie, put it in his palm, and handed it to Qiao Yifan.However, as soon as Qiao Yifan touched it, he immediately retracted it like an electric shock—he knew what it was the moment he touched it.This is the crystallization circuit carrying the lost magic "star cup burst". "Star Grail Burst" is the most powerful time-assisted skill in ancient magic, which can shorten the recitation time and physical attack skill cooling interval of all friendly personnel in battle within 10 minutes.

"I don't need this kind of thing." Ye Xiu looked tired. He had been troubled by the same dream for a whole week. He always woke up in the middle of the night with heavy blue shadows under his eyes. Guys use it. I don’t need support bonuses, and I’m much faster than you guys. Wait until you’ve reached my level of practice and you can win ten moves with me before telling me to refuse!”

Ye Xiu didn't intend to scold the younger generation, but because of lack of sleep and restlessness, his tone really couldn't get better—but it sounded very harsh to Qiao Yifan's ears.He had no choice but to take over the crystallization circuit in fear, and installed it in his own ARCUS crystallization nest with trembling hands.

"Okay, that's all for today's training! You can improve your proficiency for the rest." Ye Xiu put his hands back into his trouser pockets, held an unlit cigarette in his mouth, and raised his legs to leave.

When he walked to the door, he suddenly thought of something, and turned around - the young man in the empty training room lowered his head and fiddled with his ARCUS in a daze. He didn't seem to know how to use spells to modify the special crystallization circuit to fit his own crystallization tank. , thinking with eyebrows tightly frowned, looking pitiful but stubborn and unwilling to admit defeat.

I don't know if it was because of the dream he had often had recently, but he suddenly remembered the scene when he saw Huang Shaotian for the first time.

Huang Shaotian had just graduated from the military academy at that time, with a youthful figure, sitting alone in a corner of the cafeteria of the training base.It might have been around nine or ten o'clock at that time. There were already no people eating dinner in the cafeteria, and even the cleaning staff had finished their work and left.Therefore, the only thing that accompanied him was a lamp above the table where he was sitting.

At that time ARCUS hadn't been developed yet, the boy lowered his head to play with the now obsolete guide force gun, and almost accidentally hit Ye Xiu's nose when he opened the door.

At that time, he had just been thrown into the base to lead the recruits, and he didn't know who those little devils were. With the attitude of being a teacher, he stood at the entrance of the cafeteria and turned on all the lights—the white lights instantly made The boy's entire face brightened up, although immature, it was an exceptionally heroic face.

Then Fang warned the young man in the softest tone possible, the danger level of the guided force gun in his hand, the correct use method and related precautions.

Unexpectedly, the young man neither begged for mercy nor apologized for his almost accidental injury, so he just looked at him across a dozen or so round tables.The fire in the fireplace has not been extinguished yet, and the tongue of fire is crackling, like the stubborn pride in the eyes of a young man.

Did Huang Shaotian say anything afterwards?

Ye Xiu was a little lost in thought.

The pages of time were turned so fast, and so many pages were turned in the blink of an eye—he actually had to think hard to remember what they said when they first met.

He seemed to be staring at him unconvinced, and said a long series of words, the central idea revolved around, who are you? How much better than me, if you have the ability, see you tomorrow at the school.

Ye Xiu smiled slightly.

That's what Huang Shaotian should have said, the first time they met each other didn't know who the other was, so they rashly challenged each other.

Only Huang Shaocai could do it.

Recalling the past many years ago, Ye Xiu, who had not had a good rest due to the dream, calmed down a lot.So after all, he didn't leave Qiao Yifan who looked very distressed, walked back to the opponent, took the opponent's ARCUS, and assembled the crystallization circuit into it.

It may be because of the dazzling dreams and the warm past memories that Ye Xiu's indestructible psychological defenses have been slightly leaked, or it may be because the young man in front of him is completely ignorant of what happened to him and him back then, Ye Xiu actually mentioned three things. A topic that he never took the initiative to bring up in the past few years.

"It is said that after the Remifilia incident three years ago, I can't recall any memories about the incident." Records, ah, of course, everyone in the army thinks so too, my partner Huang Shaotian died in this incident.”

Qiao Yifan was surprised that Ye Xiu would talk to him about such a hidden topic, and he didn't know whether to listen or not, let alone answer the conversation.

However, the other party's attention was not on him anyway.Ye Xiu's unfocused eyes stared at the overly white walls of the training room, as if he didn't want to say anything to anyone in particular, but just——suddenly wanted to talk about it.

"The group of old and immortal guys... suspect that I have amnesia, and it is this kind of specific amnesia, because I was hit too hard by witnessing the death of my partner. The doctor diagnosed... There is a professional medical term to describe this phenomenon, what is it called? Come—" The man's handsome face was full of sarcasm, and he laughed at himself, "Stress disorder."

Thinking of the conversation he had with Gao Yingjie a few days ago, Qiao Yifan lowered his head a little guilty.

But Ye Xiu didn't talk about this topic anymore - just like it started inexplicably, it also ended suddenly.

He patted the boy on the shoulder and returned the assembled ARCUS to him.

"Don't worry. You just have to try to renew yourself and reach your goals. God will see."

Ye Xiu was seriously injured in the Catacombs operation for about a month and couldn't sit still.

Although Huang Shaotian was cursing, he knew him all along, and he did not stop him in action, but he was more verbose than usual. He even wrote a program on Ye Xiu's ARCUS to drink a few glasses of water every day. Hearing that bastard yelling in Huang Shaotian's voice, "It's time to drink water, it's time to drink eight glasses of water a day. If you don't repair Ye Xiu, you will change Ye Xiu"—someone is really bored, this thing needs to record a sound.

Ye Xiu didn't know if what he said to Huang Shaotian earlier in the ward had any effect, and they never brought up that brief quarrel after that.He thought, maybe the other party listened a little bit, otherwise, how could he no longer blindly take things on himself, and would occasionally refer to Ye Xiu's opinion in an emergency—of course it was just For reference, whether to listen or not is another matter.

Life was the way it was before, with changes of course—there was a civil war, the king was murdered by the enemy, it was tough for them—but life had to go on, and tasks had to go on as usual.

What's more, in fact, the fifth army was against the seventh army. In terms of combat power, it can be said that it was not cheap at all. After being suppressed by the reformists, the fighting situation intensified, and the five armies were already at a considerable disadvantage.

It's been a year since such a stalemate.

And then came the day.

The day that changed the trajectory of Ye Xiu and Huang Shaotian's lives and reversed the situation of the civil war.

Ye Xiu and Huang Shaotian received today's urgent mission from the guidance terminal in the Red Wing's main cabin early in the morning.

The task was as straightforward as ever.

They need to sneak into the watchtower at one end of the double-track bridge in Blue Rain State (occupied by the Reform Party army) and restart the enemy's guidance signal - while the other main force directly enters from the other end.

It doesn't sound complicated, but it is a very important task.It is an exaggeration to say that 80% of the success or failure of this attack depends on the completion of their mission.Once the guidance signal is restarted, it will take at least an hour for the enemy army to regain control of the situation in the entire Blue Rain State—and they, using this hour, can completely catch the opponent by surprise.

When Ye Xiu and Huang Shaotian approached the watchtower from the rear, it was Ye Xiu who first noticed that the situation was different.

"Shaotian." Ye Xiu notified his partner as soon as he realized something was wrong, "Next to it is... the city of Remiferia."

He looked down at the map on ARCUS again to confirm, "Do you feel that... something is wrong?"

It's not quite right.

Too quiet.

As the largest city in Blue Rain State, Remifilia City is always lively from early morning to evening.Every morning, vendors come from other small towns to do business, and there are also many citizens who come to buy and stock up. The sounds of yelling, price reduction, and playing can usually be heard far away, at least at the side of the double-track bridge. He could hear it clearly—but today, the city was lifeless and eerily quiet.

Ye Xiu couldn't understand this strange situation, and he hadn't heard of any arrangements such as a silent ceremony in the city today, so he was a little worried.But right now they don't have time to figure out the anomalies in this city—they have an important task with a time limit.

"Forget it." After weighing the weight, Ye Xiu knew that it would be futile to think too much at this moment. He patted Huang Shaotian, who was looking at the city of Remiferia, and motioned him to continue crawling forward. When it’s done, let’s go around the city to have a look.”

"Lao Ye... this is not right... something serious must have happened!" Huang Shaotian seemed not to have heard Ye Xiu's words, lying on the spot, refusing to move, "I have to go and see! I have to go and see! If you don't go, I won't." must go!"

"Young days!"

"This is my hometown!" Ye Xiu turned his back to Huang Shaotian. He couldn't see his expression clearly, but he could clearly hear a faint cry in his voice, "Before I met you...although I don't know how I ended up in Blue City. In Yucheng... But, everyone in the market kept me alive with a jar of honey and a bowl of egg custard! Only in this way can you see me who is so lively, lively, intelligent and talented, and who loves you so much! In case they What's going on... I'm worried..."

Huang Shaotian wrapped Ye Xiu into his arms from behind, his arms tightly wrapped around Ye Xiu, so Ye Xiu could feel Huang Shaotian who was always fearless trembling slightly, "Ye Xiu, I can't knowingly know that there is something wrong. , but pretended to ignore it as if nothing had happened! I can't do it! My heart doesn't allow me to do this!"

Ye Xiu slowly grabbed Huang Shaotian's hand with his backhand, turned around, but couldn't say the words to stop him.

"Then hurry up and let's go together!"

He felt uneasy, unwilling to let Huang Shaotian go to the unknown danger alone.He had no choice but to grit his teeth, grab Huang Shaotian's hand, and suddenly turned around, heading towards Remiferia City.

They speeded up, but walked more and more carefully to their new destination.

Less than a mile away from the city of Remiferia, the aura of a high-level monster that was about to move straight into the nostrils of the two of them-the smell was slowly moving towards the direction of the town, away from Remiferia Yacheng is getting closer.

Ye Xiu and Huang Shaotian looked at each other, seeing each other's eyes were full of shock and worry.

"This smell... there are probably at least thirty monsters above SS level." Ye Xiu quickly made a judgment, and said to Huang Shaotian in a low voice, "I'm afraid someone deliberately lured these monsters here. Normally, this is impossible. How many high-level monsters are gathered together, and they are still in the town. According to the movement speed of this smell, they will probably arrive in the city in less than an hour."

Huang Shaotian bit his lower lip tightly, clenched his fists tightly, and then he tasted the smell of iron rust, and his palms were also pinched with red marks because of too much force.

"These bastards!"

"Shaotian! Don't be impulsive!" Ye Xiu, who had been paying attention to Huang Shaotian, quickly held down Huang Shaotian when he saw the opportunity, and persuaded in a low voice, "We can't just rush in like this, it's too hasty! No matter how hard we are, there are only two of us!"

He stared closely at Huang Shaotian's eyes that were already red - although Huang Shaotian was angry, he was still rational, and after being persuaded by Ye Xiu, he no longer looked like he was about to rush forward and fight people desperately.

"We have to find a way to find out if there are any living civilians in the city—evacuate them first." Ye Xiu quickly drew up a feasible plan, "Then determine how many forces there are in the city, and see if there is any place that can be used. Break them down one by one."

He kissed each other's eyes reassuringly.

His composure seemed to have infected his lover after all, Huang Shaotian finally showed a slight sign of relaxation, and let go of his tightly clenched fist.

Although this is not appropriate in the face of a big battle, Ye Xiu hesitated for a while, but still pressed his lips to the opponent's lips, rubbing slowly and provocatively - he tasted the taste of blood.

He deepened the kiss awkwardly, this was the first time Ye Xiu took the initiative - usually Huang Shaotian rushed forward anxiously, biting and chewing like a husky who only wants to be dissatisfied.

"I'm here."

He whispered in his lover's ear, originally it was love words, but because of this occasion and timing, it seemed a little more like a vow.

And Huang Shaotian's breath finally calmed down completely after this untimely and somewhat bitter kiss.

"It's not over yet!" Huang Shaotian didn't want his lover to worry about him too much, so he forced a smile and nodded Ye Xiu's lips that were extra moist from the kiss just now, "After we go back victorious, we will continue to do the full set, okay?"

Three years later, Ye Xiu could still completely remember this sentence, as well as Huang Shaotian's expression at that time.

However, there is no "after going back" at all.

Chapter 7

Artisan Street in Remifilia.

This place is exactly the same as when Huang Shaotian left many years ago, except——

All the shops and the scattered houses were tightly closed.

Huang Shaotian led Ye Xiu around on the empty street, and stopped in front of a small red two-story bungalow.He hesitated for a few seconds, and finally reached out and knocked on the door lightly three times.

——Boom boom boom.

The old wooden door didn't open because of this - I don't know if it was because there was no one there or for other reasons.The ancient and complex magic circle on the door glistened and reflected light in the sun, as if someone had made a barrier here.

Ye Xiu stared intently at the magic circle, and then looked around at the deserted cobbled streets, his eyebrows furrowed little by little.

Although no one answered the door, Huang Shaotian did not give up. He knocked three more times and greeted in a voice as small as possible that could be heard by the people in the room, "Uncle Schwarzer? Aunt Julie?"

- Squeak.

Just when Huang Shaotian thought that no one would respond, the door opened a tiny gap, and a wrinkled woman's face appeared behind the door.Her face was tense, and after squinting her eyes to observe Huang Shaotian in front of her carefully, her complexion softened a little, and she asked softly, "You child, why are you here at this time? Come in quickly!"

Ye Xiu followed Huang Shaotian and was about to step through the door, but the woman gave him a vigilant glance like a frightened bird, and shut the door heavily before Ye Xiu stepped in with his left foot.

This little episode made Huang Shaotian laugh out loud in such a tense atmosphere—Ye Xiu, who walked everywhere as if he was in a no-man's land, probably never thought that he would be so easily captured by a man with no hands. The woman shut the door for those who were unable to restrain the chicken.

"Aunt Julie, don't worry. He is..." Huang Shaotian rummaged in his mind for an identity that could reassure the tense old man in this situation, but he didn't want to lie to him, who was almost a relative who watched him grow up. Ordinary old people had no choice but to tell the truth about the most harmless-sounding person, "He is... my partner!"

Huang Shaotian was proud of his cleverness, and with the woman's acquiescence, he turned the handle and let Ye Xiu in who was unprepared to be locked out of the door.

The woman looked curiously at the man who came in behind, and wanted to tease the two young men in front of her, but she also knew that this was not the time to talk about it, so she cut to the chase, "Children, if you have nothing to do, hurry up! Here and now Not safe."

Only then did Ye Xiu return to his senses and looked at the elderly woman in front of him: her hair was all gray, but it was neatly coiled up and combed meticulously - she looked well-educated; the hands holding Huang Shaotian were bony , she kept trembling when she spoke, and the fear in her heart could hardly be concealed; when she spoke, she unconsciously lowered her voice, and her eyes kept glancing in a certain direction. In that direction, there was—ah, the quartz clock on the wall; He looked directly at Huang Shaotian, but Ye Xiu could also see her frankness from this direction, and her concern for Huang Shaotian was not fake.

——This woman obviously knew the reason for the abnormal situation in this city, but she didn't want them to be involved and conceal something.

Up to now, neither the residents living here, nor him and Huang Shaotian who are carrying the mission, have no time to beat around the bush, let alone, they should be on the same front as these civilians.

"A monster has already attacked, right? The next batch is on the way? Do you know the approximate time of the next attack? Where are the other residents? Are they all protected?"

Ye Xiu asked questions like a cannonball, but his eyes were fixed on the woman, not letting go of any of her movements.

The woman let go of Huang Shaotian's hand in shock, she turned her head tremblingly to look at the corner next to the innermost staircase in the living room—Ye Xiu only then noticed that the huge staircase formed a pole that obstructed the line of sight. The barrier was so good that he didn't even notice that there was a person standing there from just now!

"You are……?"

The old man who spoke was wearing an old gentleman's brim hat, and his hair was well hidden under the hat; he was standing upright with a cane--the imposing manner seemed to be from the army; his face was wrinkled, and he looked like The women's ages were not too far apart, and the facial features were all crowded together, but unexpectedly slowed down the majesty on his body, making people feel kinder.This person must be the "Uncle Schwarzer" that Huang Shaotian called at the door just now.

"Hello, Uncle Schwarze." Ye Xiu narrowed his eyes, but he didn't mention who he was, although he didn't know that Huang Shaotian had given him his identity as soon as he entered the door.

Schwarze didn't ask Ye Xiu's identity any more, and walked towards them step by step from the shadows.

What was surprising was that he took something out from the inside of his suit very quickly while walking - there was a flash of silver light!

Huang Shaotian was taken aback, and subconsciously jumped up to block Ye Xiu.

Then he took a closer look, and all Schwarzer took out was a silver lighter.

"Shaotian, we watched you grow up! What kind of person am I? You have been in school and in the army for a few years and you have forgotten all about it?" The old man took off his hat, did not blame the junior for being unreasonable, but left Went to Huang Shaotian's side, patted his head lovingly, "This is Shaotian who has grown up... There is someone to protect..."

Huang Shaotian's face turned red when he said this.

Schwarze bypassed the two of them and sat down on the leather sofa at the side.

"We are getting old..." Because the body is not as flexible as before, the old man sighed, "Sit down. I will tell you what you want to know."

Schwarzer pointed his cane at the opposite sofa.

Huang Shaotian was silent for two seconds, then pulled Ye Xiu to sit side by side.

"The Prime Minister's plan..." The old man stared out of the window with cloudy eyes, before turning around for a long time, "He doesn't know where he got the method...I suspect there is someone else behind the scenes..."

The old man let out a long sigh.

"In short, the Prime Minister signaled some members of the cabinet to start an experiment in private—they captured A+ grade monsters with different attributes, and found that after absorbing a certain amount of human blood——"

At this time, Shu Huaze revealed a secretive smile, reflected in the eyes of Ye Xiu and Huang Shaotian, and shuddered unexpectedly.

"Guess what? Those beasts were upgraded from A+ to S...and then to SS. They said the experiment showed—that beasts can be domesticated, upgraded—and then they can be used in the future. Like we use hounds now Serving us so-so, maybe we can use them to capture other planets in the future?"

Huang Shaotian cursed in a low voice.

However, neither the one who was speaking nor the other one who was listening could clearly hear what he was cursing.

"They want to carry out further experiments, so they need more... living people. But after the first round of experiments, all the death row inmates in the prison are almost dead... and there are more living people in the city Woolen cloth?"

"Beasts! No! They are not as good as beasts!" Without Schwarze going on, the two people who were listening understood.Ye Xiu is still okay, but Huang Shaotian, who has always been jealous, yelled directly this time, "Is attacking the common people in the city the solution they found? What are you talking about, only the nobles can survive!"

Ye Xiu on the side frowned, his face didn't change, but he patted Huang Shaotian's hand reassuringly.

Although there was no effect at all, Huang Shaotian still looked angry.

"According to legends, hundreds of years ago—probably when the elves, witches, giants, small humans, blood races, and human races were still peacefully co-existing, the entire Glory Continent was divided into seven parts by seven types of elf stones with different attributes. State, the spirit stone guards these seven states...and these seven states have the purest attribute aura. Well, young people probably don't know these old legends!"

"The said reason for choosing Blue Rain State...is the land of water attribute protection."

"You know it clearly?" Schwarze cast a surprised glance at Ye Xiu—the younger generations come out in large numbers, and their generation of soldiers is really old, "That's right, here has the most abundant water attribute aura, which is most suitable for water attribute Practice, elf cultivation, and even—"

Although Huang Shaotian was in a rage, his brain did not become dull. He took the words heavily, "Monsters evolve..."

"There are about fifty monsters in this batch." Schwarzer raised his hand worriedly and glanced at the watch on his wrist, "Civilians don't know how to use guiding magic, the signal here has been blocked and we have no time to ask the military for help— —even we don’t know who to ask for help—after all, the person who wants to hurt us is the Prime Minister whom we firmly believe will protect us..."

Remifilia is a beautiful city in all seasons.

The fountain in the central park of the city is decorated with flowers and green grass, facing the south of the fountain is the landmark building in the city - the clock tower.Every hour on the clock tower, a series of 24 villains would pop out and circle the dial, and the music played could be heard throughout the city.It was about the hour again, and cheerful music sounded—but it sounded like a reminder.

Schwarzer's hand that wore the watch shook violently.

"Even though Xiao Shaotian has grown up—it hasn't changed at all—I'm really happy." The old man no longer looked at his watch as the music sounded, but closed his eyes resignedly.

"I don't know what you are doing now—with the person next to you, but with the strength of the two of you alone, nothing can be saved or changed..."

"Before I told everyone in the city to stay in their rooms and not to go out, and then cast enchantments on all the houses where they lived, which should last for a while... Before those guys arrive, hurry up and get out of here to do your job. What you should do—it won’t do you any good to get involved in this matter!” You may even give your life here.

"Thank you Uncle Schwarze for telling us this." Huang Shaotian stood up.

He suddenly remembered the day he graduated from the military academy. He took his certificate of completion from the banner of the Glorious Empire, and swore by touching his chest——I, Huang Shaotian, from today onwards, I will put the interests of the people first and the empire first. Glory is my own glory, and I will spend the rest of my life and do my best to protect my country and its people.

"You let us go to protect us. You have fulfilled your responsibility as an elder to protect the younger." Huang Shaotian naturally understood that what he planned to do next was likely to be a man's arm, "and we also have the freedom to choose the path we want to take."

"I don't know if you know that there is a school motto of the Tiny Herb Military Academy that has not been recorded, but is only passed down orally - becoming the cornerstone of the world."

Huang Shaotian hid himself under the fountain in Central Park. He put his left hand on the trigger of the guided force gun, and lightly pressed his saber "Night Rain" with his right hand, silently counting down the time in his heart.

ten,

nine,

……

three,

two,

One!

The goose-feathered snow finally fell to the ground one after another, and the wind slashed people's faces like knives. The snowflakes were also like glass shards, hitting people's bodies and hair without tenderness at all.The sky darkened a bit when the heavy snow was pouring down, and the gray mountain was about to rain.

Under such a sky, the sudden yellow light was extremely dazzling.It’s like the sky has been poked with one, two, or dozens of big holes, and the dazzling yellow is not warm at all, but scorching. Unable to see their faces, monsters with strange figures poured into the deserted streets from all directions. Suddenly, the quiet town was filled with roars of monsters, the sound of houses collapsing and falling to the ground, women's screams and children's cries. .

Ye Xiu hit it with a fireball, and the two crystal beasts who were snatching the baby from a woman were knocked down to the sides.He rushed over, picked up the crying baby and returned it to the frightened woman who hadn't reacted yet.

"Go east!" Ye Xiu pointed to Craftsman Street. "Baron Schwarzer will meet you at the next street. You meet other people on the road and tell them to go that way. He will take you to a safe place."

The woman hugged the baby and ran towards the direction Ye Xiu pointed, sobbing. Huang Shaotian jumped over from the right at this time, stood behind Ye Xiu with his sword in his hand, and cut the mollusc beast that was about to attack Ye Xiu in two. Half.

"There are definitely more than fifty of these things." Huang Shaotian was panting, but still chattering, "It's impossible to kill them all!"

"These are pathfinders." Ye Xiu threw another fireball to the left, burning to death the two crystal beasts that were half alive just now, "these are not high levels. The big ones haven't been released yet. Young man, I suspect..."

Huang Shaotian turned his gun and shot the water butterfly in the sky.

"What did you say?" The gunshot overshadowed Ye Xiu's voice, and Huang Shaotian didn't understand what the other half said, "Didn't I say you were banned from using fire attribute magic?"

"Hehe. When did you see that I heard what those old men said?"

"Shaotian, this way!"

The two tacitly raised their swords and drew their knives together, the light of the knives and the shadow of the swords flashed alternately - a beautiful cross wound was left on the neck of the golden rhinoceros.The viscous blue liquid flowed out from the monster's wound and fell into the snow. In an instant, black gas rose from that piece of snow, and even the snow turned into a black liquid. Like a call, they gathered towards the giant beast—the wounds on the monster's body miraculously showed a tendency to heal.

"Here's a big guy!" Ye Xiu took out his ARCUS and looked at it. Fortunately, they had met the Golden Rhino before, and the data had already been entered. "This thing can use all liquids to heal itself. I put The magic is around 'Night Rain', you shoot it in the left eye - we'll kill it with one shot before its wound heals!"

Ye Xiu was unambiguous, and immediately began to chant magic.At the same time, as if inspired by something, Huang Shaotian's "Ye Yu" began to emit a faint red light.
