Before it was dark, Heng Haizi was already sitting on the windowsill, the orange and red of the twilight dyed half of the sky, and the afterglow was sprinkled on the ground, on the palace wall, and on the windowsill.

Xiao Qian was standing at the door of Xiao Ran Palace, and a person walked over at this time. Xiao Qian looked at Qiu Wenbin, who was one of the members of the Fire Country's Governing Council.

Xiao Qian hurriedly bowed and said, "Meet Qiu Zhangshi." ”

Although in order to ensure Heng Haizi's safety these days, she is strictly forbidden to leave Xiao Ran Palace, but Qiu Wenbin has watched Princess Hai'er grow up and has a lot of pity for her, so even if he is very busy preparing for the competition and dealing with various things under his hands, he still takes the time to come over today to take a look.

"Xiao Qian, is Hai'er in a better mood today?" Qiu Wenbin didn't want to go in, just stopped at the door and asked Xiao Qian.

Xiao Qian shook her head and said, "Princess Hai'er still hasn't eaten anything today. Qiu is in charge, Xiao Qian has something she wants to ask, I don't know if it's okay?"

"You ask. ”

"Xiaoqian just doesn't understand, the emperor treats Princess Hai'er on weekdays to respond to her needs, but this life event is very tough, and she can't help but say why?"

Qiu Wenbin shook his head helplessly and said, "Maybe the emperor has his own troubles, even I don't dare to ask." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Qian's eyes suddenly became moist.

Qiu Wenbin said: "Xiaoqian, you don't have to worry about Hai'er. This competition is naturally a wide recruitment of talents, the world's best men can participate, we have also set up a lot of assessments, the selected people will not be bad, and the final link will also give Haier the opportunity to choose, if there is no candidate who agrees with Haier's heart at that time, then there is no way. The emperor will make decisions for Hai'er, and he must not be far behind. ”

Heng Haizi sat on the windowsill, she listened to the conversation between the two outside in her ears, although her face was a little pale at this time, but she didn't look happy or sad, and seemed to understand something.

——————————————————————————

Mastiff Zitian sat on the back of the stinky bear, and the stinky bear below ran on all fours. The speed was extremely fast, and one man and one bear set off from the Fire Nation at dusk, and at this moment, it was only the middle of the night that they had already arrived outside the Ten Thousand Beast Forest.

Mastiff Zitian has been sitting on his back and meditating, but his mind echoes with Ao Lie's teachings to him, recalling the bits and pieces of his life, although he is sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed at the moment, he can't enter the meditation state at all. The third level of the Vientiane Exercise is related to the heart, and since Mastiff Zitian began to cultivate the third layer, he has always maintained the stability of the heart, and it is rare for the heart to be so impetuous as it is now.

He slowly opened his eyes, it was already the middle of the night, and he could see the dark forest of ten thousand beasts. The few ones who didn't talk much along the way, just concentrated on the road. He hadn't been here before, and he wasn't familiar with the Ten Thousand Beast Forest, so he said at this moment, "Which direction should we go first?"

Mastiff Zitian said: "The terrain and vegetation from the east forest directly to the west are too complicated, let's go around the periphery of the forest to the west as fastest, take the counterclockwise direction, and go to the territory of the white-eyed bear king along the way." ”

"Good. ”

The stinky bear carried the mastiff on his back all the way to the northwest, and soon entered the territory of the white-eyed bear king. The northern part of the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest is very close to the snow field, and the trees here are not tall and very sparse, and even a few small animals cannot be seen in the forest at the moment.

Mastiff knows the location of the White-Eyed Bear King, and guides the stinky bear all the way. Soon, a huge cave appeared in front of him.

Mastiff Zitian remembered that every time he came to this white-eyed bear cave when he was a child, there would be fierce beasts guarding the entrance of the cave, but there was nothing outside the cave at the moment. The cave is also very quiet.

The stinky bear stopped at the mouth of the cave, and the mastiff jumped off the bear's back. After observing the entrance of the cave, he said, "This cave has not been entered by a fierce beast for a long time, and I am afraid it has long been abandoned." But I don't know what happened to the other clansmen. ”

Stinky Bear said: "This white-eyed bear clan is different from ours like to walk alone, they like to live in groups, they are extremely protective of the king and definitely do not change territory easily. Now that the White-Eyed Bear King is dead, I'm afraid there are no more white-eyed bears left in the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest. ”

Mastiff Zitian nodded and said, "Anyway, go in first and take a look, be careful." ”

A person and a bear entered the white-eyed bear cave, and just entered the bear cave to see a few corpses of fierce beasts, but not the white-eyed bear, the deeper you go, the more such corpses, just because a long time has passed, many corpses have been decomposed, and many corpses are broken, and many can't recognize what kind of creatures they are. Just calm fur and appearance, you can vaguely distinguish some fierce beasts and human corpses.

Mastiff Zitian stepped over the pile of corpses and arrived at the residence of the White-Eyed Bear King, he remembered that there was a white-eyed bear clan treasure on the wall of the White-eyed Bear King's residence, a piece of ice and snow spirit stones, although Mastiff Zitian didn't know what the ice and snow spirit stone did, but it was the treasure of the white-eyed bear clan.

At this moment, there was only a fist-sized hole left in the wall where the ice and snow spirit stones were originally placed, and there was no trace of the ice and snow spirit stones that were originally placed.

Mastiff Zitian looked back at the corpses all over the ground, these corpses should have died after the death of the white-eyed bear king who came to fight for the ice and snow spirit stone.

"There is nothing left in this bear cave, no life, no treasures, but this ice and snow spirit stone is obviously not enough for the Fire Kingdom to mobilize troops to attack the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest, what do you want from the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest when the Fire Kingdom moved to the ground five years ago?" Mastiff said lightly.

Stinky Bear said: "It should be the thing that the four kings guarded together, right?" But I don't know what it is, did Ao Lie tell you?"

Mastiff shook his head and said, "My father never talked to me about this, maybe he just wanted to protect my childhood happiness." ”

The stinky bear didn't speak, and one man and one bear came out of the bear hole, and without any stay, they went all the way to the west. That's where Mastiff Day is going this time.

In the middle of the night, the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts seemed to have turned into a dead land, not even the chirping of crows, not even the chirping of insects, only the rustle of the wind through the grass and leaves.

Since Mastiff Zitian arrived in this forest, he has not seen a single fierce beast, it seems that there is nothing left here, and the more this happens, the more uneasy Mastiff Zitian feels in his heart. I just kept praying in my heart: Father, you must not have an accident............

As the stinky bear ran at great speed, Mastiff soon saw the familiar western forest. But there is no miracle, this western forest is not only dead, even most of the forest was destroyed five years ago, and it has not grown new until now, the scorched ground, no grass grows in a radius of hundreds of miles, and even the dark clouds in the sky do not seem to disperse, Mastiff Tian, the big battle that occurred here five years ago seems to be just yesterday......

Although Mastiff did not go south, but from east to north and then west, there was no forest as dilapidated as the western forest.

Could it be that the western forest is the main battlefield? Mastiff Zitian was worried.

Seeing such a scene, Mastiff Zitian had no choice, even if he practiced meditation exercises, Mastiff Zitian couldn't calm down at this moment and jumped off the bear's back. Running wildly in a familiar place, he knew how to do it, but he almost fell down several times while running.

He ran around, trying to find his figure in his father's favorite place, the tallest and most secure back. Where he frolicked with Ao Lie, where he and Ao Lie learned to hunt, where he and Ao Lie trained their bodies together. He ran as fast as he could, looking around, searching, shouting. But there was nothing but the cold wind and the grass that had fallen out. No one responded to his cries, and he felt broken, he felt fear......

Passing through a messy forest, soon Ao Lie's favorite cliff to stand and look at was in front of him, and Mastiff Zitian jumped up eagerly, and landed firmly on the platform in a few leaps.

The wall was already overgrown with weeds, and Ao Lie's vague figure seemed to appear on the wall, and Mastiff Zitian wanted to pounce on it but found that it was just an empty field.

Mastiff sat down on the Yabi, and he seemed to be able to smell his father's familiar smell, in this Yabi, his favorite. Mastiff Zitian's tears finally couldn't help flowing, he could no longer control the grievances and thoughts in his heart, and cried loudly, at this moment he seemed to have changed back to the original innocent child. In the past five years, no matter how hard the training arranged for him by Wuwendi, no matter how much time he has seen the honor and disgrace, he only thinks of that figure in his heart, that is a proud wolf, a gentle wolf, that is the father of Mastiff Zitian, his all.

It turns out that the fate of life is so short, and no matter how close you are, you can't escape the punishment of the years and the world.

Mastiff Zitian cried on the Yabi for I don't know how long, this is the first time the stinky bear has seen Mastiff Zitian crying, he didn't go up, just crawled under the Yabi, praying silently.

The sky was bright

Mastiff Zitian's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and his eyes were bloodshot. He sat down under a dead tree, unable to utter a word. He knew that the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts was dead, the fierce beasts here were dead, and everything here had withered.

The sadness in his eyes slowly dissipated, and a seed of hatred began to sprout in his heart. It was the Fire Nation that took everything from him, from his father, from his countrymen. At this moment, in Mastiff Zitian's heart, there is only endless hatred for the Fire Country, what is the benefit of falling to the ground, and the Fire Country will not hesitate to destroy the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest to get it! What kind of ambition is it that makes the Fire Country unable to satisfy even if he does not hesitate to kill tens of millions of living beings! Who fell to the ground took away his father and left his bones gone!

"I hate, I hate, I hate!" Mastiff Zitian seemed to use all his strength to grit his teeth and say these two words.

However, after a long time, the mastiff genius slowly supported the trunk of the tree and walked down the cliff step by step. He didn't even say anything when he passed by the stinky bear, he just walked forward with his head down. Stinky Bear followed him silently.

Mastiff Zitian had only one thought in his heart, no matter what he took, he would destroy the Fire Country, and he would make the people who destroyed his loved ones pay the heaviest price!
