Chapter 34: The Power of Outside

"This isn't bait falling from the sky!" an arm, wrapped in armor, suddenly appeared out of the air, grabbing the monster's rapidly falling jaw. In Tomoyo's eyes, which had gradually lost their expression, a guy wrapped in armor with white flames was reflected. Zhao Mian seemed to have crossed out of a non-existent door, and he shouted loudly, "Are you ready to pay the price of touching her?

The light spread out in an instant, and the intense light brought back the gradually lost sparkle in Tomoyo's eyes - perhaps more than that, her injuries were being treated at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the call of death faded from her ears little by little. Then, she saw that it was a battle beyond all she could have imagined.

With just one hand, he firmly restrained the huge monster, and the person standing in front of Zhidai did not look back, but just the roar he heard in a trance just now, Zhidai affirmed the identity of the person in front of him - that was Zhao Mian was not wrong. What's going on?Why is Mian-san here?How can he have such power?At the moment when his consciousness just returned to his body, a chaotic thought flowed through Zhiyo's mind, but the words that popped out of her slightly open mouth were just an anxious sentence: "Be careful!"

"Be careful?" Zhao Mian laughed loudly, "No need to be careful, no need to be nervous, it's just this kind of spirit generated by the condensation of human resentment! Its power comes from your fear, human fear fuels its might, if you fear it, then it will devour you." But if you are fearless and fight it head-on—" Zhao Mian raised his hand and pulled down suddenly, and the monster that was still struggling in the air suddenly fell to the ground with his movements, and the splashed dust covered the sky, but through the thick dust, Zhidai saw that Zhao Mian was standing on the body of the monster, he pulled up the roof of the monster's jaw, and the dense teeth appeared in front of Zhidai again, but this time there was no sense of danger, because the monster was wailing, as if lamenting the life he was about to lose. Zhao Mian's free left hand began to burn, countless holy flames obscured the original appearance of the armor, and he inserted his hand between the monster's eyes at once, "Even ordinary people have the power to defeat them!"

A shrill scream that could not be described erupted from the mouth of the monster, and the leaves and smoke that had been blown away just because of the sound were scattered far away on the ground - but such a strong sound and the force of the wind did not make Zhiyo turn her eyes away, in her eyes, no matter how the monster struggled, Zhao Mian, who still did not move, was like a hero who came out of the legend. The power of magic flickered on his body, and the heavy armor protected his body, even the fishy liquid flowing from the monster's body, the blue blood that corroded the roots of the tree did not hurt Zhao Mian's body in the slightest.

The monster's voice gradually weakened, until it gradually stopped struggling, and it was only at this time that Zhao Mian withdrew his hand from the monster's body - the stinky blood slowly flowed along his arm, but it did not drip on the ground. He leaped off the monster's back and walked towards Tomoyo - behind him, the massive monster, like burning paper, turned into a sky of black ashes, lost in the breeze.

"Finally found you. Zhao Mian took off his helmet, and that familiar face appeared in front of Zhidai, he stretched out his hand and spread it in front of Zhidai, ready to pull her up, "Are you okay?"

But Zhidai didn't reach out to grab Zhao Mian's hand, but took a few steps back in a panic - the reason why she didn't retreat more was probably just because she was leaning against the stone wall. With a hint of vigilance and doubts in his eyes, Tomoyo stared at the person in front of him tightly.

"Did it scare you? Zhao Mian sighed helplessly, shook his head and gave up going further, but withdrew his hand, and then took out a piece of clothing from his space bag and threw it on Zhidai's body, "Whether you believe me or not, put on your clothes first, although I don't know what you have experienced, but your clothes can't be worn anymore." ”

It was only now that Tomoyo realized that the breeze echoing in the forest had gently swept through her body many times, and in that chase, her clothes were probably no longer able to cover her body. She panicked and picked up the clothes scattered on her body, only to find that it was the school uniform she had just washed. She raised her head, and Zhao Mian over there had already turned her body, but she didn't go far - slightly, out of nowhere, the peace of mind that quietly knocked on her heart destroyed her psychological defense line little by little, and then, tears quietly crossed her face. She bit her lip tightly to keep herself from letting out a single sob, then picked up her clothes and quickly put them on.

After a long time, after Tomoyo put on his clothes, sorted out his mood, and even folded the pajamas, which were already worn out. Zhao Mian's voice sounded in the forest again, and he still didn't look back, and he said in a gentle tone with his back to Zhidai, "Have you calmed down, Zhidai?"

Zhidai, who still had tears on his cheeks, nodded in a panic, and then immediately realized that he nodded and the other party couldn't see it, so he opened his mouth and planned to answer the question, but the first word that leaked out of her mouth was a slightly choked soft: "Hmm." ”

"Yes. Zhao Mian turned around, and Zhidai, who was already dressed, was standing behind him, and the tattered clothes that were clutched tightly were flecked with blood and the marks of being burned by the flames—but all this was not as good as the tears that were still rolling down the girl's face to Zhao Mian's attention. He stretched out his hand, and the cold and rough texture of the armor that had not been removed touched the girl's skin, but the cold steel only gently brushed away some teardrops from her cheeks, and then fell heavily on her head- As if to confirm the feel, the man messed up Zhidai's hair again, but this time, Zhidai didn't push it hard with stern eyes, she silently lowered her head, bearing the other party's somewhat heavy and cold hands than usual, tears dripped on the tattered clothes, wetting the blood stains that had not dried, making the blood stains wet again, "Next time you go far away, you must remember to tell me where you are going- If you disappear like this, I'll have a lot of trouble finding it. ”

"Hmm. Tomoyo nodded, her body shaking little by little in the forest, as if it were evidence of crying. The sound of shrinking sobs echoed in this mess, and Tomoyo's whimpering voice trembled, "I'm sorry......"

"What are you sorry for, stupid. Zhao Mian sighed, withdrew his hand that had messed up the girl's hair that might have taken a lot of time to tidy up, and then tapped a knuckle on the girl's forehead, "Don't apologize to me, you are my family, I am your guardian, if something happens to you, then I have the responsibility to get you back - no matter where you run." ”

"Hmm!" Tomoyo nodded vigorously, she raised her head, her clear eyes met Zhao Mian, who was looking at her softly - and then, as if it was the last burst of suppressed emotion, she threw herself into Zhao Mian's arms, and then didn't care about the cold armor in her arms, and howled out.

Zhao Mian gently patted her thin back, then took off his gauntlet, and used his own hand to straighten the girl's long hair.
