The retrograde army was advancing at an extremely fast speed, and its agility definitely surpassed any enemy Chi Xiaoyan had seen before.

And their target is also very clear, that is, the two Kuruta children sitting on the back of the ostrich.

Why go to great lengths to target these two Kuruta people who are about to be slaughtered?The goal of the retrograde army has always been to change history, so since the two children are targeted, it proves that as long as they are killed, history will change irreversibly.

Almost in the next second, Chi Xiaoyan got a reasonable explanation.

That's right, in this tragic massacre, the Kuruta tribe left a survivor, and he actually has a huge influence on the future development of this world.

If she remembers correctly, the child's name should be Kurapika, and it happens to be 12 years old at the moment.

Before the two children had completely run in front of Chi Xiaoyan and the others, the retrograde army was about to touch the corners of their clothes.Chi Xiaoyan knew that at this time, she could no longer hesitate, so she made a decisive decision and gave the order to attack Fu Sangshen.

Almost at that moment, Hasebe, who has always been known for his mobility, was the first to swing his knife and rushed towards the enemy who was almost touching the bodies of the two children.

Facing the man who suddenly rushed out of the bushes with a strong murderous intent, the two children also showed panic on their faces.Almost instinctively, the older blond boy protected the younger child in his arms, and then quickly turned sideways to avoid the sudden sword light.

Of course Hasebe's sword energy would not hurt innocent people.Even if the child didn't hide, the cold light brought by the blade should still rub against the child's clothes.The slender hair of the blond boy fluttered in mid-air with the strong sword energy. Looking at the two sides in the confrontation, the brown eyes were full of surprise.

Between lightning and flint, the gloomy light rolled up by Hasebe's blade directly wrapped around the body of the bone spur-shaped retrograde army floating in midair.

The enemy soldiers floating in the air had no room to dodge at all, so they could only be cut in half by the cutting Hasebe, and then turned into a wisp of black smoke, completely dissipating in the jungle.

And then, the rest of the retrograde army launched an attack together as if they had suddenly come to their senses.The target of the attack was not limited to Hasebe, who had just hurt them, but also their ultimate target-the two children.

"Go and hide in the bushes over there first."

A warm voice suddenly sounded in the center of the battlefield.The blond child sitting on the back of the bird hurriedly followed the prestige, and saw a young man with short pink hair and glasses in a white suit passing in front of him.

The blond-haired child was still a little suspicious, but the young man suddenly turned his head and smiled warmly: "Take care of my master for us. She's right there."

The blond-haired child probably didn't want to retreat very much in essence, and his eyes were even faintly stained with a layer of red when facing the setting sun.But at this moment, the younger child who had been curled up in his arms suddenly tugged lightly on his sleeve.The expression on the blond child's face instantly calmed down.He looked at the child in front of him.

"Kurapika, let's hide over there for a while," the kid said.

"Okay." The blond child called Kurapika raised his hand and rubbed the younger child's hair, "Don't be afraid, Palo."

As if staring at the most precious treasure in the world, when Kurapika's eyes fell on the child named Palo, the tenderness in the brown eyes almost overflowed.He carefully protected Paolo, passed through the chaotic battle group, and came to the edge of the bush where Chi Xiaoyan was hiding.

Although Chi Xiaoyan's original intention was that he didn't want to have any direct contact with these two children—or the residents of the Kuruta tribe, but in the current situation, meeting is obviously inevitable.That being the case, it is necessary to make good use of such a meeting.

Obviously, the bushes were not suitable for the huge bird that Kurapika and Palo were riding, so when they got close, Kurapika carefully hugged Palo off the bird's back.

Chi Xiaoyan turned out from behind the tree, with her usual gentle smile on her face, she greeted the two children who were not tall enough in a soft voice: "Are you all right? Did you hurt anywhere?"

"It's okay." Pai Luo shook his head, he tried his best to look in Chi Xiaoyan's direction, but due to his vision defect, he couldn't see the face of the person in front of him clearly.So he quietly tightened his grip on the hem of Kurapika's shirt.

Kurapika raised his head slightly, looking directly into Chi Xiaoyan's smiling eyes.They were a pair of very beautiful eyes, and the corners of the eyes and the brows were full of gentleness, but Kurapika still instinctively felt that there seemed to be an indescribable indifference hidden in the depths of those eyes.Like ice hidden in the ground, he couldn't see it, but he could feel the inexplicable chill.

She seemed different from the people from the outside world he'd seen before.

"If I'm not wrong..." Chi Xiaoyan bent her eyes and slightly opened her lips, but covered up the inadvertent chill. She looked back at Kurapika, "Your name should be Kurapika."

Kurapika was taken aback.He never expected that this woman, whom he had never met before, would call out his name directly.

A strong sense of fear welled up in his heart, and Kurapika only felt a little numbness from his scalp to his back.The inexplicable attack, the inexplicable woman, are these also tests from the village elders?

Or... are these just the malice carried by people in the outside world?

"Although it's a little presumptuous to say that." Of course Chi Xiaoyan noticed Kurapika's expression, she put her hands behind her back, and gently tiptoed, "There are many things I can't explain to you, you just need to know, now It is enough that I am on your side."

"Who are you?" Kurapika frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"It's not important." Chi Xiaoyan shrugged, "But those guys are here for you. We saved you. You only need to know these things."

A suspicious look appeared on Kurapika's delicate little face.

Chi Xiaoyan went on to say: "I originally wanted to make up some lies to deal with you, but I didn't think that would be appropriate. After all, from my standpoint, there are many ordinary things that have to be kept as secrets."

"But you don't have to pay too much attention to me, because the purpose of my coming here is only to fight with those guys—or where there are those guys, there will be us." Chi Xiaoyan pointed The retrograde army who had been slaughtered in the distance.

Although the retrograde army moved quickly this time, the accuracy of the attack and the prediction of evasion were not strong, so the Fu Sangshen quickly adapted to this battle rhythm and firmly gained the upper hand.

"Are you hunters?" Kurapika suddenly raised his head, with a look of anticipation in his eyes.

Chi Xiaoyan shook his head.While reading the information, she also knew that there is a group called hunters in this world. They have many privileges that ordinary people do not have, and they can also do many things that ordinary people cannot do.Chi Xiaoyan could feel the child's longing for the identity of a hunter.

But unfortunately, she couldn't meet the child's expectations.

And that was all right, because the kid was going to be one of the hunters sooner or later.

Sure enough, after getting a negative answer, the look of anticipation in Kurapika's eyes dimmed a little, but he didn't say much, just kept silent like a mature adult.

"Also..." Chi Xiaoyan started a new topic spontaneously. She took out two photos and handed them to Kurapika, "We are also looking for our companions. I don't know if you have seen them."

After Kurapika scanned the photo, his eyes suddenly widened.He has seen both of the two people in the photo. Among them, the smiling woman is currently living in the village where he lives, while the pink-haired boy who is about his age lives in the wooden house in the forest arranged by him. among.

He looked at Chi Xiaoyan again in disbelief, and asked softly: "Could it be that you are... Akita's..."

"So you've seen Akita before..." Chi Xiaoyan took two light steps forward, put his hand on Kurapika's shoulder, "How is it? What did he tell you?"

Kurapika turned around, avoiding Chi Xiaoyan's extended hand, with a slightly puzzled expression on his face, and even a hint of anger: "How can you bear to let such a young child go to the battlefield?"

"Huh?" Chi Xiaoyan raised his eyebrows slightly.Kurapika's thinking span was indeed a little too big, and she didn't catch up with the other party's thinking for a while.

But immediately, she also immediately understood why Kurapika said that.After all, in the eyes of outsiders, a short sword like Akita Toshiro looks like a teenager. Presumably, Akita told him about his previous experience in battle, which made Kurapika regard her as a black-hearted master who squeezed child labor Alright.

What made Chi Xiaoyan feel relieved was that Akita didn't seem to have mentioned such things as protecting history in front of Kurapika, otherwise she would have to spend a lot of brains to cover up the tragic fate that the Kuruta tribe is about to face.

"Because that's his fate." Chi Xiaoyan chuckled, "I can only follow God's will."

Kurapika tilted his head half understanding.Although he has read quite a lot of books, he is still a little too young at this moment, and he can't understand the deep helplessness in the word fate.

The battle over there is over.Fu Sangshen put away their knives and returned to Chi Xiaoyan.

"Thank you." Chi Xiaoyan smiled and nodded, then she looked at Kurapika again, "Can you take us to see him? I mean Akita."

Kurapika almost nodded.

At this time, Palo, who had been silent all this time, suddenly tugged at the corner of Kurapika's clothes: "Isn't there a lot of time? If you don't go back soon, Kurapika will fail your test!"

It seemed that Kurapika suddenly remembered that he was still conducting the experiment from the elders.Compared with this group of strange people, he felt that the permission to go out was more important.

"I have some urgent matters, so I can't take you there this time. You go straight along this main road, turn to the small road when you see the third small road, and you should be able to find him when you see the wooden house."

The author has something to say:

After revisiting the comics in Reminiscences, I think Palo is really a good boy.If only he could always be by Kura's side...
