The Sea of Fire

Vol. 3 Predestination and Fateful Meeting (見君,不知君。 )

Chapter 3: Rus· Lex· Hudy

Ruth, Vrkaco, Lessers, and Nevzin marched forward in the dark blue, and they came to a small village with a wooden sign inserted into the sand at the entrance of the village, with the word "Ji" engraved on it. And at the gate of Yoshimura, there were two walkers lying on the sand, both of them already rolling their eyes, and they all seemed to have fainted...

Seeing this, Vrkaco turned his head to look at Ruth, the depth of his eyes directed straight at him, giving him no chance of evasion. Leses looked at the miserable appearance of the two walkers, and inexplicably felt a very bad feeling in his heart. Lesseth also turned his gaze to Ruth, after all... The two Nevzin members came here to continue the pursuit of the enemy, and it was Ruth's order, and he must be held accountable for his own orders.

Ruth hung his head and didn't make eye contact with the two, he left directly from the walker, came to the sand, and walked into Yoshimura alone. Volkako looked at his departing back, closed his eyes, inhaled deeply, and then spit it out, slowly opening his eyes, at this time the depth of Verkako's eyes seemed to be stained with a little tiredness...

Leses also jumped off the walker and came to the sand, walked over to the two walkers who had fallen on the sand, and carefully observed their condition - rolling his eyes, trembling slightly, his fluff standing on end... They don't look like they're due to water or food, they're more like they've been stimulated in some way...

Ruth's right hand held the hilt of his weapon, ready to immediately meet the enemy's attack and attack the enemy. His steps were as steady and light as possible, and his voice was small, and he did not walk directly onto the road in the middle of Yoshimura, but advanced against the stone wall outside the stone house, hiding his whereabouts as much as possible.

Dark Blue dripped down on him from time to time, and the ink purple wrap in his ink purple mutilated armor was already soaked, and the wet feeling spread throughout his body, making him extremely uncomfortable, and constantly stimulating his already sensitive nerves. The corners of his mouth kept pressing down, his eyes would be half-squinted from time to time, his hands and the fingers of his hands were white, and the same color appeared on Ruth's face, he didn't like this clammy feeling. Fortunately, the blue-gray clouds had stopped rolling, and the rain became lighter and lighter, and after a while the clouds dissipated, the blue sun reappeared, and the clammy cold could be dispelled.

He walked to the center of Yoshimura and saw the body of the slightly thin member of Nefuzu, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly. After a moment's further walk, he found the body of the slightly chubby Nevzin member again, the corners of his mouth twitching even more. He walked on, and suddenly stopped, for there were some footprints in front of him, very shallow, and if he had come a little later, perhaps they would have been washed away by the drizzle and disappeared completely.

One was larger and darker than the other two footprints, presumably from an Elder male, one was smaller and shallower, presumably from an Elder child, and the last was the footprint of a creature Ruth had seen before on the sand.

Along the way, there is no longer a single ancient human race in the entire Yoshimura. Ruth ran back, towards Yoshimura's door, his eyes shaking from the empty village, but he quickly adjusted himself.

Ruth approached Vrkako and Lessers and told them what he had seen, lowering his voice as low as possible to keep the rest of the Nevzin from hearing.

"Yoshimura has become an empty village. The members are dead..."Ruce lowered his head, not meeting the deep eyes of Volkaco, his voice trembling slightly, "The responsibility is on me..."

Verkaco sighed and looked at Ruth in front of him, with a hint of helplessness in the depth of his eyes.

"You should be responsible for what you order, you know what to do. ”

Ruth nodded, mounted the walker, and urged it to quicken its pace and enter Yoshimura, heading in the direction the enemy had left Yoshimura.

Verkaco rode the Pacer, and Lessers rode the Pacer as well. Vrkako led Lessers and the rest of the Nevzin members into Yoshimura. As Ruth described, the entire Yoshimura had become an empty village, with no trace of the Ancients, no sound except the sound of wind and hooves.

Leses looked around Yoshimura, the rat-backed gray and zinc-gray stone houses that had been inhabited by the ancients, but the empty village was constantly erasing the only traces.

"Chief, another village is gone—" The corners of Lesseth's mouth twitched, his eyes twitched, and he even choked slightly.

"yes—" Verkaco had seen it too many times, and although the sight in front of him touched his heart, he was still able to keep his face open.

"We've had a lot of these 'villages' on the way out of the city hub, and the living environment of our ancient human race is getting worse and worse..."Leses's voice was filled with trembling and unwillingness, but he couldn't do anything about what happened now, at least for now.

"It's going to be fine!" said Vrkaco's voice, revealing his unmistakable firmness... It all has to be okay! Between wanting and getting, there is the most important thing for him right now, which is to do it. But the tiredness in his eyes remained.

Leseth's tears flowed uncontrollably, and he bit his lip to keep himself from making a sound. He closed his eyes tightly, he couldn't look at the village any more. The Nevzin members behind him had almost the same or identical reactions and empathetic sadness as him, but it took a lot of effort to suppress the throbbing in their hearts and turn it into their motivation.

Ruth and the walkers under him had already left Yoshimura, and the sand not far away had left the blue-gray clouds, and the ultramarine light shone on the white sand, which was a bit dazzling for Ruth, who had been under the clouds. It was only when he was illuminated by ultramarine that he noticed the figures of three ancient people and an observer beside the sand dunes in front of him.

One of the Ancients was dressed in a green and blue garment, something Ruth had never seen before, another Ancients male was carried on his back, wearing a torn bronze purple and broken armor, covered in dust and seemingly in a state of fainting, and the last Ancients were a little girl with shoulder-length short hair and a fire goose purple wrap, and an observer with moon-white fluff and two tails.

The strange garments of the Ancients men caught Ruth's eye first, followed by the Observer, who had not seen an Observer for a long time, and who he almost thought was extinct. Seeing it at this time, I had some wonderful feelings in my heart... You... Much like it...

They moved forward, not noticing Ruth's approach. Ruth got closer to them, and their appearance became clearer and clearer in his eyes, it was too strange for the overly clean Ancients to carry the dusty Ancients on their backs. He believed that it was the three Ancients and this observer who had killed the two Nevzin members, and that the dusty Ancients must have fought them, but he couldn't have killed two Nevzin members alone... This strange costume of the ancients also participated in the battle, but there was not a trace of dust on his body... Even the ancient people who are now carrying dust on their backs have not been stained with even a trace of dust... A bad feeling came over Ruth, something was wrong with this ancient race in strange clothes. Ruth wanted to kill the strangely dressed Ancients and the dusty Ancients on his back, but he didn't want the Ancients girl and the observer to witness what was about to happen. He jumped off the walker and stood straight on the sand.

"Ancients!" Ruth shouted to Jasmaed, "Ancients!"

Jasmaed stopped his progress and turned to look at Ruth. His eyes were filled with confusion and confusion, and he stopped where he was and turned to look at Ruth. Andu and the observer also turned to look at Ruth.

"I have something to ask. Ruth's voice was slow, and he tried to make himself more genuine, more like a lost man in need.

Jaszmaded walked over to the small sand dunes next to him and gently lowered the inner step of the sand dune, and Andu and the observer came with him to the sand dunes, staying by the side of the inner step of the sand dune. Jasmamet walked slowly towards Ruth, the green and blue silk robe lightly touched the white sand, his right hand lightly placed on the hilt of the weapon, and came to Ruth, Jasmamet did not speak, he waited for Ruth's explanation.

Ruth only saw the true face of Jasmaed at this moment, the silver round inch and silver eyes that were different from ordinary people, the facial features that were too delicate compared to ordinary men, and his handsome face, with his green mountains and blue silk robe, were very different from the roughness of the ancient men in the Sea of Fire region.

"Excuse me, where is Yoshimura?" Russ looked directly at Jaszed, who already knew the answer to the question.

Jasmaed shook his head and didn't speak.

Ruth is confused about Jasmaed... They just came out of Yoshimura, and they should know that this is Yoshimura... He may not be from this neighborhood... Ruth intends to continue to test Jaszmed.

"Sorry to interrupt. Ruth made a gesture to turn away, but halfway through his body, he turned his body back, frowned, and kept looking at Jasmaed, "Where are you from?

Jaszmed stared at Ruth, a hint of panic in his eyes, he didn't know the names of any other areas of the Sea of Fire except for the city lord Huron Yoran. He adjusted his breathing to make himself look calmer.

"Huron Yoran!" Jaszeded said firmly, as if he were indeed from this place.

"Ahh Ruth quietly took a small step forward with his right foot, "Huron, Yoran, you have a weapon, but you don't have armor... Warriors of the city hub, don't you need armor?"

Jaszmed didn't answer Ruth immediately, he lowered his head slightly, raised his right hand, rubbed his right eye, and then gave Ruth his own answer, "It's that I don't need to wear armor..."

Ruth's eyes shrank slightly, he didn't know if Jasmaed's words were said intentionally or unintentionally, but whether they were intentional or unintentional, this was not good news for Ruth.

"You're very powerful..."Ruth's voice became very small, and he quietly took a small step forward with his left foot, and then took a small step forward with his right foot again, at this time Ruth was only one step away from Jasmamed, and Ruth's weapon could attack Jasmamed.

"You're also very powerful!" Jasmede's voice revealed his incomparable sincerity, "knowing that my companion was killed by me, and still being able to talk to me so calmly, the ancient human race is indeed a very magical race." ”

Hearing Jasmaed's words, Ruth knew that his identity was exposed, Ruth's eyes shook violently, the corners of his mouth trembled unconsciously, and his right hand trembled. Ruth didn't know why he was exposed, and he didn't understand why Jaszed didn't attack him immediately after knowing his identity. Sweat continued to run from his forehead, and Ruth tried to distract Jasmamet with words.

"How do you know... Who am I?" Ruth's voice trembled slightly, he was slightly uneasy and nervous, and his right foot slowly moved forward. Ruth stretched out the index finger of his left hand and pointed it at Jasmamed's face, trying not to focus Jasmaed's gaze on his outstretched fingers.

"You... They wear armor of a similar color. "Jasmaed said it lightly, as if he saw through everything about Ruth.

Ruth's right foot, which slowly moved forward, stopped, and he froze in place... Most of the clothes and armor we wear throughout the Sea of Fire area are similar colors... This guy doesn't even know who I am! I'm talking nonsense! I still believe it... Ruth held his forehead with his right hand, and Jasmamet guessed Ruth's identity by mistake, which really scared Rus, but after knowing the truth, Ruth suddenly surged with anger, anger towards himself, anger at Jasmamed. His right hand pulled the cyan weapon out of its sheath, gripped the hilt of the weapon behind his back, and his right hand quickly moved to the front left of his torso, from left to right, and stabbed at Jaszmad's neck. Jaszmaded quickly took a half-step forward with his left foot and stepped heavily on the sand, which suddenly sank down. Straighten out his right leg and kick it towards Ruth's abdomen. Ruth's flat spur was directly dodged by Jaszmed.

Ruth protected his abdomen with the palm of his left hand facing outwards and the back of his hand against his abdomen. Ruth tried to grab Jasmaed's right leg, but the speed and power of his kick out of his right leg were far beyond Ruth's expectations, and there was a sharp pain in the palm of his left hand, and the spar purple complete armor in his left hand was directly kicked out of several cracks. Ruth was kicked back five steps. Jasmaed looked at Ruth and did not continue to attack Ruth. Russ looked into Jasmaed's eyes, unable to guess what he was thinking, or even to judge his exact expression, Jasmaed's expression was hovering in excitement and surprise, looking very strange. Ruth was shocked by Jasmmet's unusual speed and strength, his physical abilities were far beyond those of the Ancients, and he was more of a ferocious creature than the Ancients.

Ruth took three and a half steps forward with his right foot, followed by three and a half steps with his left foot. The body is leaning to the right, and the right foot is moving to the right. The weapon changed from a reverse grip to a front grip, and slashed at Jasmaed's left waist. Jasmed immediately moved to his right front, raising his right hand to deliver a straight punch to Ruth's left cheek. Ruth is nowhere near as fast and powerful as Jasmaed, so he has to bridge the gap in their abilities in other ways, such as feints.

Ruth's right foot did not really step to the right, but stepped to the left front of his body, turned his body, and lifted his right arm from his waist and abdomen to his chest, and the original horizontal slash from right to left became a diagonal slash from right to left. Ruth's feint made Jass Med's believe that it was true, Jasmede's right fist had already been picked out, and he couldn't immediately retract his right fist and move his body, he could only move his feet and turn his body to dodge Ruth's slash as much as possible. The left foot moved behind the right foot, and the body rotated from left to right in a small half circle, but he still couldn't dodge Ruth's slash, and a slanted wound was cut in the left chest, and the green juice flowed from this shallow wound.

At this time, Jasmaed's expression became clear and accurate in Ruth's eyes for the first time, and his raised eyebrows, shaking and dilated eyes, and constantly opening his mouth were all telling Russ that Jasmede was now in a state of surprise and even panic. And Ruth's face also showed a look similar to that of Jasmamed, because what flowed out of Jasmamed's wound was not honey dust, but green juice... What was this cyan liquid?!Ruth's surprise at the moment was no worse than when he thought he had revealed his identity. The only thing Ruth can be sure of is that the "ancient race" in front of him, which he originally thought was the ancient human race, was definitely not the ancient human race.

Russ stared at Jasmamet for a moment, then looked at the inner step in the distance, remembered the physiognomy of the two of them, took three steps back, and then immediately turned around and ran towards the walker, before he could fully reach the walker, he first stretched out his right hand and slapped it on the buttocks, and then jumped forward, rode the walker, and gradually distanced himself from Jasmamed.

Ruth didn't think he could really defeat Jasmaed, and his attack just now made too much of an impression on Ruth. He had enough information about Jaszmaed and Nebushant that passing the information to Verkaco and Lessers was a priority, and he had no way to draw meaningful conclusions from this information on his own.

Ruth looked back at Jasmaed, who remained where he was, neither pursuing himself nor joining his companions, but standing alone.

Coming to the blue-gray clouds again, everything in sight gradually dimmed, and the dark blue drifted out of the clouds from time to time, and Ruth's annoying clammy coldness found him again. Enduring the discomfort of the wet cold, he rode the walker and soon met Vrkaco, Leseth, and the rest of the Nevzin in the middle of Yoshimura.

Ruth approached Verkaco and Lesseth and told them what had happened to him, emphasizing Jaszmad's anomaly.

"Chief, I'm back. I've met, enemy—" Ruth adjusted his breathing, and both Verkaco and Lessers could clearly hear Ruth's gasps, "One of them is particularly strange! Wearing a blue robe, he has delicate facial features, he speaks without an accent, his wounds do not flow dust, he flows blue liquid, he is extremely fast and powerful. I remember him and his companions, their looks!"

The depth of Verkaco's eyes, for the first time, vanished, his pupils swayed, sweat pouring from his forehead and sliding down his cheeks. Lesce's eyes widened, his mouth wide open, and his eyes showed surprise, even horror.

"Teal liquid, that's turquoise juice! That strange enemy you said, he's an ancient dragon!" Leseth said incoherently. But Ruth met the Ancient Dragon Clan, which was enough to shock him so much, "Human Yellow Dust! Si Green Leaves!Dragon Green Juice!Ancient Ancient Race with Honey Yellow Dust Flowing in the Body! Ancient Slausel Clan with Water Green Leaves in the Body! Ancient Dragon Clan with Green Juice Flowing in the Ancient Dragon Clan!"

"Gurloon?" Ruth didn't quite react yet, he blinked, looked at Lesseth, and then at Vorkaco.

"Ancient... Dragon... Clan..."Vrkako said "Ancient Dragon" word by word, and said it very clearly. His eyebrows squeezed into the middle, and they kept pressing down, making Verkaco's wobbly eyes hard for Ruth and Leses to see.

"Ancient Dragons!" Ruth had all kinds of doubts about Jasmaed, but they were all solved at this moment. What's more, the ancient dragon clan has begun to infiltrate the fire area, I don't know what purpose they have, after Ruth reacted, his voice became low, "Gu... Dragon... Clan..."

"Two ancient peoples, one of them, covered in dust and fainting, a little girl, an observer. They should, just left, we should, go after them!" Ruth already had an idea of his own, and Lessers was still in shock. Ruth looked at Verkaco, who needed to wait for Verkaco's judgment and final decision.

"Let's go after him at once!" "Furkako was very decisive this time, no longer thinking twice as before, "Remember, the target is the ancient dragon!"

Ruth nodded, realizing that Verkaco's gaze was on him, and Ruth silently lowered his head, not daring to make eye contact with Verkaco.

The trio set off with members of Nefuzu and left Yoshimura. Leses looked back at Yoshimura again, the pain in his eyes faint, he bit his lower lip, closed his eyes and turned his head, no longer allowing himself to look at Yoshimura. Take a deep breath and exhale it out of her nose again, a faint bitterness coming out of her mouth, Leses is feeling really bad right now, all this... It all made him feel terrible......

The blue-gray clouds above their heads gradually dissipated, and the blue sun appeared in their eyes, the breeze was light, with warmth, caressing them with ultramarine, removing the clammy cold from their bodies.

At this moment, the blue-gray clouds only stayed above Yoshimura, and the entire Yoshimura fell into darkness. Yoshimura's rat-backed gray stone house and zinc-gray stone house complement the darkness at this time. The empty Yoshimura fell silent, and the melancholy of nothingness permeated the entire Yoshimura. Not a single ultramarine approached here, not a breeze approached here, not a single creature approached here. Yoshimura, the village called "Yoshi", seemed to fall into a deep sleep, hiding in the corner of the fire area, hiding under the dim sky, quietly asleep, no one noticing.

The wooden sign at the entrance of Yoshimura leaned, slowly approaching the sand, and it seemed that it would fall on the sand at any moment. Time has made the body supporting it extremely fragile, and the word "Ji" on its body has become blurred. It became more and more tired, getting closer and closer to the sand, its body kept creaking, and its body finally broke apart, and it fell to the sand, its front was attached to the white sand, and it could no longer see the word "Ji" on its front. It can finally really rest and no one will bother it anymore...
