[Twelve Kingdoms] The dance of the vast sky in the mountains

Maybe they instinctively sensed something. Most of the people were not asleep. After the commotion, they immediately gathered together. Ah San in the middle passed out after telling the news of the attack. The people on the other side carefully bandaged him. There was a moment of restlessness.

"Demon? It won't be the super cute one from before..."

"Stupid, if that's the case, how could he be injured so badly!"

"Demon! Where is it, is it far from here?"

"It shouldn't be too close. We didn't hear anything before Ah San came back..."

"But……"

"Monster! Monster!! Where is Shao Ting? Follow him and you'll be fine..."

"What stupid things..."

"..."

"Okay, stop arguing!" Ye Ming opened his mouth, but before he could make a sound, he heard a loud roar from around him. She turned her head and saw Zhao Xin standing majestically on the stone with her hips akimbo.All around slowly quieted down, "Now is not the time to talk about these problems. It is not important to encounter problems, the important thing should be to solve them."

"Girl Kunlun, you said it lightly, so what do you think we should do?" an older Taixue student who spoke the loudest just now asked dissatisfied.

"Ah? Ask me? Needless to say? Teammates of the escort team and people who are good at martial arts in Taixue, please take your weapons. Let's rescue the captain and the others together. But don't go too far, or..."

"Are you kidding, why do you want us to save them!" The previous person interrupted Zhao Xin.

"Why?" Zhao Xin's eyes widened. "Are you saying that they don't need to worry at all with their strength? Ah San didn't specify what happened, but it must be a tough battle to be injured like this."

"Since this is the case, why should we take risks? We should flee to Pengshan while the monsters are attracted by them."

"That's right, isn't the guard protecting us? Our safety should be the priority."

"Really?" Zhao Xin's original anxious mood was swept away, and her wide eyes narrowed, she said coolly, "I didn't look carefully enough, so the guards still have this job... ..." She turned to Ye Ming, "I'm sorry Ye Ming, I thought you were scaremongering. It turns out that this job is really dangerous, not to mention encountering human-eating monsters from time to time, and being abandoned by employers at any time as a means of saving their lives. "

For a moment, the surroundings were silent, and the person who had spoken before also realized his slip of the tongue and fell silent.

Stop talking?If you don't say it, Zhao Xin has something to say. "Just to remind you, the captain took away all the best people in the guard team. It goes without saying that among the people left behind are people like me. If something happens, I can't even protect myself. I have to tell you that in my life In my eyes, your lives are not worth more than mine."

Although Zhao Xin's expression could not be seen in the dense night, the tone alone made people sweat.

"Oh, by the way, the captain said that we are going to Pengshan soon. Maybe the remaining soldiers we have left are enough for you to use as backup. If you are lucky enough not to be abandoned, please take me to the destination. I don't know the way. .”

Zhao Xin's words finally made people understand the current situation. Everyone was silent for a while. Although the guards looked angry, they still surrounded the Taixue students and were vigilant.

"Girl Zhao Xin," finally, someone in the crowd responded, "Don't say that, it's just some people's personal thoughts."

"Yes, those of us who are too learned will not be so selfish!"

"What do you mean by that!"

"I don't even understand, how did you get into Taixue?"

"It must have come in through the relationship of family members. Now there are fewer and fewer truly capable people in Taixue..."

"Are you asking for a fight..."

"Okay, it's still noisy at this time, so you're all in the same place!" Finally, he couldn't stand it any longer, Hao Yi stood up, "Now it's time to save the captain and the others, and if you have spare energy to fight, please use it on the monsters... ..." Under Haoyi's accusation, everyone fell silent.

"Okay," Zhao Xin interrupted Hao Yi suddenly, "Since everyone agrees to rescue the captain, please prepare as I said."

The crowd gradually dispersed.

"I'm exhausted~~" Zhao Xin stretched his waist, "Although I thought there must be a lot of people who think that way, I didn't expect someone to say it so frankly. These people don't even have a false sense of justice. ..."

"False sense of justice?" Hao Yi asked strangely, skipping the part where Zhao Xin accused.

"Yes, I said that your lives are not worth more than mine. Since all lives are the same, there is no difference between sacrificing some lives to save others and sacrificing others to save those people, so what do they think? Although selfish, it is understandable."

"But we don't necessarily die when we go to save people."

"So it's a gamble, but it's annoying to be like the kind of people who don't even dare to gamble once, and I'm so excited to say something like that."

"Excited?"

"That's right, otherwise you thought I would want to die just because of my three-legged cat skills? But Haoyi, you really want to go, but you can't, you and Ye Ming have to stay. The ones left in this operation either They don’t know how to fight, or they are selfish, if they encounter monsters, they will suffer, not to mention our luggage, it’s really not reassuring to give them to them.”

"But, you should stay, right?"

"Me?" Zhao Xin raised his eyebrows, "I've talked about that just now, how could I not go?"

"So you interrupted me just now and didn't let me stand out?" Hao Yi suddenly realized.

Zhao Xin didn't answer, but patted Haoyi's shoulder, "Maybe you will really become king, so, protect yourself." Then, she turned to Ye Ming, who had been silent since just now, (speaking a foreign language is really good Tired...Ye Ming remember, sacrificing yourself for another person is a stupid act, I want you to accompany me to catch demons, so don't die.)

Ye Ming nodded, "You have to be careful, your injury hasn't healed yet."

(I know, but I practice Taekwondo. Compared with hands and weapons, I am better at legs.) While talking, people gathered, "Then, I'm leaving!" Zhao Xin raised his hand, turned and ran After entering the team, following a few orders from her, this temporary team consisting of guards and students set off. Just in a daze, the team disappeared into the dark night, never to be seen again.

Night, dark as ink.

Its elegant and generous body hugged the ground, stirring up a little dust.

The night is as cool as water, and even in the midsummer forest, bits and pieces of coolness can permeate from the feet, winding upwards.

And especially tonight.

I was so greedy, but I finally learned to give up, I gave up the bright cold moon, I gave up a little bit of starlight, and in the only remaining dark night, there is still something that is being given up.

it hurts.

Rubbing his shoulders, Zhao Xin slowly stood up from the ground. The bandage covering his right hand was loose, the wound had already burst open, and the blood was dripping down the blade in his hand. It was hard to tell whose blood it was.As far as the eye can see, the night is like splashed ink, dense and dense; like the land under your feet, it is deep and shallow.The kicked-off fire, the faint sparks flickering, like flower arrangements in the ear--screams from afar.Except for the little screams, the surrounding area was completely silent, but there seemed to be endless misery, and there was even a hint of greed and danger.

She knew that they were here, although she didn't know how many there were, and where they were entrenched, but she could still feel that they were staring at this meal that seemed to be at their fingertips, planning how to tear her body apart.They waited silently, waiting for her to run away in despair or panic, and automatically rushed into their mouths.

Therefore, she couldn't escape, she held the sharp "fruit knife" at her waist in her hand, and confronted them.

It really made sense to those people who are greedy for life and fear of death. When they came back to rescue, they were just sending them to death.Zhao Xin laughed at himself. He thought that with so many people together, he could at least be the captain and escape together, but he ignored the disadvantage of the enemy in the dark, and even his own life could not be saved in the end.

In fact, the situation was not as tragic as Zhao Xin imagined. The group of them broke through the monsters besieging the captain and others. After rescuing the captain and the others, most of them fled to a safe place under the command of the captain. In the midst of the war, it was difficult to convey orders, and Zhao Xin was not yet proficient in the language. Unknowingly, he followed a few people who were in a hurry and went astray with the captain and the others, and fell into such a situation.

Finally, the demon couldn't bear it any longer, swooped down from directly above Zhao Xin with a pair of wings, and rushed towards this not-so-delicious dinner.

"Beaver!"

There was a shout from someone not far away.

Is it rescue?Zhao Xin was overjoyed at the moment, squinting her eyes, but still couldn't tell the difference. The sudden impact on her head reminded her that the danger was not far away. She raised her head, and vaguely saw something falling in the darkness. She stabbed with the dagger, but didn't hit anything. A splash of foul-smelling liquid splashed all over her body and face, and splashed into her eyes. The severe pain made her close her eyes tightly, but she didn't dare to clean them, for fear that she would lose them in a moment of relaxation. life.

When I closed my eyes, my sense of hearing became more acute, and the original silence became noisy, and the sound of fighting was heard from all around.

Is it infighting?Zhao Xin was puzzled, but dared not move.

"Pa", the sound of someone stepping on a dead branch, less than ten meters away from him.Zhao Xin was startled, and flung the short sword back. With the sound of the blade tearing through the clothes, there were a few "cracking" sounds, which were human voices.He gasped for breath, fell slowly, and gradually lost his breath.

who is it?Did he go the wrong way, or did he come to save her on purpose?Zhao Xin frowned.Mainly, is he dead?Do you want to save him?Although the distance is less than twenty steps, who knows what kind of danger is entrenched in the middle?

This was an unmistakable choice, and the sound of fighting continued, but Zhao Xin did not hesitate to feel in the direction of the person who came, and slowly touched the body that was breathing weakly and almost disappeared, and pulled out the stick on his body. He held his short sword tightly in his right hand, and simply treated the wound on his body with his left hand, then tensed his nerves, calmly, and confronted the darkness.

The sound of fighting gradually weakened, and finally disappeared, and the night returned to silence.
