Travel through the long dream millennium

"Did my eyes really change color?"

After finally regaining consciousness again, and with some mobility, Li Xiang stretched out his hands and scratched his ears, putting on a curious and worried look.It's a pity that all the people present are male, and they don't care much about their appearance—in short, they don't carry mirrors with them, and there is not enough water nearby to reflect the outside world.

"Why should I lie to you with this kind of thing?" Hearing Li Xiang's questioning words, Gu Changli rolled his eyes angrily. , but yours is a little deeper than his."

Not far away, Reinhard nodded silently, indicating that what Gu Changli said was indeed true.

With a complex expression, he raised his hand to caress one side of his eyes, Li Xiang only felt that his heart was in a mess, and he didn't know where to start, and was very entangled.

"After all, you have walked on the line of life and death. Apart from the color of your eyes, are there any other special changes? As the ancients said, if you survive a catastrophe, you will have future troubles." Touching his chin, Gu Chang Li solemnly warned deeply.

A crossroad suddenly popped out on his forehead. If it wasn't for the fact that his force value was too low, Li Xiang really wished he could poke his finger on the forehead of the person opposite him, so that he could feel his anger, "There must be future blessings." ! There must be future blessings!"

"Take it as a "blessing"," Gu Changli waved his hand perfunctorily, as if you were happy and overbearing, "Where does your "post-blessing" fall?"

After a long while, the muscles on Li Xiang's face trembled involuntarily after he closed his eyes and carefully felt his own state. His slowly opened eyes were filled with such unscientific emotions as life without love.

"...nothing has changed."

"Huh? The great horror between life and death, no matter what you say, can increase your mental strength, but you haven't improved at all?!" Gu Changli, who learned about the change in Li Xiang's ability, stared wide-eyed. Eye.

"..."

Li Xiang, who was completely speechless to refute, pressed the ground under his feet firmly, as if a large piece of spar suddenly grew out of it, and he didn't even want to lift his head.

"You are really using your life to maintain the property of waste materials."

Seeing that if the teasing continued, a certain thin-skinned guy was about to die from brain congestion, Gu Changli cut off the conversation in a measured manner, and turned to the other side, who was slightly raising a bracelet to look at Reinhardt. go.

"Is this the mother stone corresponding to the child stone left for that little girl? It seems that she still hasn't made a decision."

Gu Changli, who clearly saw that the round milky white stone hanging on the bracelet was still in good condition, said so.

"I don't know what else she is thinking."

Reinhardt rarely replied sullenly.

The girl the two of them were discussing was the prospective incubator who was about to awaken the power that Reinhardt and Gu Hei met in the deserted city that day.Reinhardt, who was originally the guard of the holy city, made up his mind to take the child to the holy city after rescuing Li Xiang.Unexpectedly, there was an accident where Li Xiang was dying, and then even though she revealed her true identity, the girl was still unwilling to leave the boy who abused and beat her frequently, and she sternly rejected Reinhardt's invitation for the second time.

In desperation, Reinhardt had no choice but to leave the girl a magical ore called the "Mother and Child Stone" that appeared only after the end of the world.This kind of ore looks ordinary in appearance, but it has only one very magical characteristic, no matter how far apart it is, the child stones are broken, and the mother stone is broken together, and vice versa.He told the child that if one day she changed her mind, she would smash the Zishi in her hand, and Reinhardt would send someone to pick her up as soon as possible after getting the news.

But looking at the cold and indifferent expression on the girl's pink and jade-carved face at that time, Reinhardt felt that such a chance was quite slim.

"I originally thought that Li Xiang was the only idiot in this world who would refuse to go to the holy city... I didn't expect that there would be a second such stubborn elm head." Conscious of the majesty of the holy city and Reinhard, whose image was provoked, smacked his lips indignantly.

"Everyone has his own aspirations, why should you force them?"

The absent-minded Gu Changli patted Reinhardt on the shoulder, comforting him rather insincerely.

——Is Changli caring about him?

Reinhard, who noticed this belatedly, blinked his eyes, and his originally depressed mood became inexplicably relieved.

--------------

After Li Xiang woke up, the four-member team who deliberately slowed down without taking care of the injured finally saw the dawn of victory after half a year of long trek.

The types of plants appearing around became more and more monotonous, and there were obvious traces of artificial planting. Gu Changli raised his eyes and looked around, but Reinha was caught by Reinha's hand just as he was about to pick up a fruit hanging from a vertical branch. Gently put it into the palm of your hand.

"Cough...the trees and fruits here cannot be destroyed at will, and violators will be severely punished."

Reinhard, who was glared at by Gu Changli, touched his nose helplessly, and said softly, "I can get a certain amount of vegetables and fruits every month, and I will give them all to you when the time comes."

"……stubborn!"

Pulling his hand back abruptly, Gu Changli arrogantly cast a cold and noble glance, and simply turned his head away from looking at him.

"This is a special kind of tree discovered by the researchers of the holy city. They can emit a smell that cannot be detected by the human body, but it will cause disgust to most mutated insects, and its fruits are very powerful against all insects. The lethality. So this forest can be said to be the holy city's first line of defense against external natural enemies... If it weren't for the low survival rate of this plant, and even the need for constant irrigation by several plant-type supernatural beings in the early stages of growth, humans would be afraid The mutated insects could have been exterminated long ago.”

After listening to Reinhardt's introduction, except for Gu Changli, who had little understanding of the end-time environment, everyone's eyes on the lush forest in front of them changed a little, as if they suddenly discovered a large area of ​​sparkling trees. Shiny, priceless treasure.

"If this kind of plant can grow in large quantities..." Gu Hei eagerly caressed the trunk of the tree in front of him, that cautious and tender gesture was like stroking a lover's skin, not to mention how fleshy and disgusting it was.

Having grown up in the dark streets, he naturally knows all too well that the high death rate there is not only due to the infighting among human beings, but also due to the huge number of monsters dormant in the misty forest, which can be called astronomical. mutant worms.Every year, not only how many people who go hunting and exploring die under their elusive attacks and sharp claws.

"Well... This problem has also troubled the researchers of the Holy City for a long time, and it has not been resolved so far. However, there is always a dawn. Maybe we can see the end of the end of the world in our lifetime, and everyone can live a happy and stable life. Days." Reinhardt, whose pupils were shining, and even his cheeks flushed slightly, held his palms, looking at the beautiful city not far away, as if he could already see the outline of it, his words were full of longing And firm, "For this goal, even if I have to pay everything, it is worth it."

"Ah."

Quietly listening to Reinhardt's expectations with enthusiasm and hope, Gu Changli raised a mocking smile that was not a smile, and shrugged his shoulders noncommittally, "You just want to be happy."

At the same time, Xuan Qing, who was in Gu Changli's sea of ​​consciousness, couldn't help but frowned, with an anxious expression on his face.

【"Apprentice, after arriving in the holy city, keep a distance from this yellow-haired and green-eyed foreigner. This kind of hot-blooded guy is the most dangerous in a sense."】

【“???”】

["Master has lived for such a long time, and I don't know how many times I have met such a person. Relying on justice, full of enthusiasm, for the "greater and nobler" goal in their hearts, once there is someone who stands in front of them, even if their hearts bleed and their eyes shed tears , will still kill without hesitation—even if it is a close relative.”]

【"You can see clearly."】After a moment of silence, Gu Changli spoke sullenly.

【"What's even more frightening is that they will take it for granted, a necessary sacrifice for the Dao and the world."】 Xuan Qing patted the space below him with a beard and a stare, obviously because of this A rather unpleasant memory, ["Speaking is nicer than anyone else, but you are not polite at all - but you really can't make more evaluations of his position, after all, he is not really bad, just Just plain stupid.”]

【"...That's right."】Being teased by Xuan Qing's resentful and melancholy tone, Ren Jun couldn't help coughing lightly, and replied in a deep voice.

After Reinhardt delivered that passionate and passionate speech, it was rather embarrassing to find that no one made any positive comments on it, even Li Xiang, who has always been taking the silly and sweet route. For some unknown reason, his face was gloomy, let alone Gu Changli, Gu Hei and Liu Chengxi who were used to doing whatever they wanted and without fear.

The forest fell into a long silence for a while, except for the rustling of human steps on the fine fallen leaves, there was not much movement.

Until a clear yell of young people cursing came from behind a big tree in the distance, the atmosphere that had become more condensed and sharp suddenly relaxed.

You idiots, so many people can't even catch a hairy brute, that fox went over there, catch him, catch him! "

Wrapped with a series of jumping, yelling and complaining, and screaming in pain, Gu Changli and the others walked forward again for a certain distance, and now they can fully understand the scene that happened on the scene.

Several teenagers aged seventeen or eighteen were sparsely forming a large circle, commanding a group of "bodyguards" to capture a group of snow-white animals surrounded in the center.And surrounded by the crowd, the one who is clearly the leader is a young man who has just grown up at most, with a tall figure, a handsome face, unruly eyes, and several earrings of different colors hanging from his ears in a random manner. Take off the image of a cynical dude.Standing beside him were two young boys with delicate and elegant faces, but not more than fourteen or five years old, hugging left and right, enjoying the blessings of being equal to others.

Not waiting for everyone to make any redundant comments on this, as a tall bodyguard was shaken by the hair ball and lost his balance, and fell to the ground to expose the gap, the "hair ball" took advantage of the situation to break through the encirclement quite cleverly After escaping from the sky, he ran straight towards the direction of Reinhardt and the others.

For some unknown reason, when the hairball ran close to the team, it suddenly stopped, shook its head blankly and twitched its nose, as if it was sniffing some special smell.In the end, he actually hugged Gu Changli's calf, refusing to let go.

If it wasn't just an ordinary little fox with reddish fur, Gu Changli would have thought that after Xuan Qing, even that bastard Hu Li would have followed him across time and space.
