In the dead of night, the lonely moonlight sprinkled in the middle of the pond, which neither diffused nor condensed, and just lay there. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"I'm sorry, I forgot to bring back the monster's corpse just now, otherwise I wouldn't have starved here......" Sakuruma leaned against the stone platform by the pond and lay on Mu Fengye's lap, asking him to help wash his bloodstained hair.

Mu Fengye didn't care much, anyway, it wasn't the first day like this, in fact, he was already very satisfied if he was lucky enough to survive a few times, and he didn't dare to ask for anything, because this was the only thing he had at the moment, once he let go of the hand that clenched it, death would come quietly, if his life was gone, what was the use of asking for other things?

"It's okay, it's okay if you're okay, Na, Sakurama, there's something I've always wanted to ask you. ”

"Well, it's just the two of us now, you ask. Sakurama glanced at the Jingu Temple sisters who had fallen asleep on the side, and agreed with them that they would be guarded by herself and Mu Feng in the first half of the night.

Mu Fengye wiped the last strand of blood from Sakurama's long silver hair, and reached out to remove the collar of her school uniform jacket, where there was a thin wound that was becoming lighter in color, and it would probably disappear completely in a few months.

"When did you get injured?You have inexplicably more scars like this on your body, why?" Mu Fengye recalled that he had seen similar scars when he was changing the gauze for Sakuruma by the lake a long time ago, and they were surprisingly consistent, but in different locations.

Sakurama was silent for a few seconds, then closed her eyes and whispered: "There are sixteen such wounds on my body, and the blood flowing from each wound is made up of fear and remorse, and they have been with me for a long time, because of their existence, I will become stronger, not forgetting the cowardice and powerlessness of the past, but cutting them off one by one with my own hands." I'm not fighting this world to survive, I just want to give my past self a head-on blow, and only by completely shattering that shadow can my survival be worthwhile. ”

"Can you tell me? on you...... What happened? I want to know. ”

She slowly opened her lightly closed eyes, and her pupils were connected to the moon in the sky: "It's not time yet, if that day comes, I will be the first to tell you all about myself, because you are the only friend I can trust here with my life." ”

"...... about this matter"

"Actually, the moon in this world is also beautiful. Sakuruma suddenly interrupted Mu Fengye's words, in addition to the weirdness of the alternation of day and night, the sun and moon look the same as the present world, looking at it will inevitably remind you of things over there, the beacon of fate, where will it lead mankind?

"Well, yes, it's beautiful. ”

……

"Bang!"

A soft sound woke Sakuruma from her slumber, and it was already morning, and the sisters of Jinguji had found some edible plants nearby, but the sound came from another forest on the opposite side.

"Chigusa, where's Mu Feng?"

"I'm practicing the swordsmanship I taught him yesterday in the woods over there, and I don't know if it's any results. "Chigusa and Chie are busy preparing these strangely shaped plants, which, despite their strange appearance, are one of the few foods in the forest.

"The guy didn't sleep all night and said something he didn't understand. Qianhui raised her head and glanced in the direction where Mu Fengye was, and at this time, there was the sound of a tree branch breaking again, "It looks like he broke another wooden stick." ”

The plants would have to be roasted for a few minutes to remove the substance from them, and Sakuruma walked towards the forest.

The closer she got, the louder the striking of the tree trunk became, and she knew that she had stepped on a thick branch that had broken in two before she stopped in a nearby bush.

"Drink!"

"Smack-"

I saw that the ground was full of such thick branches and wooden sticks, they were all broken after countless blows, and there were about thirty such sticks that were broken, and at the same time, the shock generated by the connection between the roots and the ground was transmitted to Sakura's body, which was Mu Fengye's last blow.

He didn't follow Chigusa's instructions at all, and just struck the wooden stick horizontally on the trunk of the tree with force and no order.

"Sakurama?"

"It's useless for you to do this, even if it's a fragile branch, it's not allowed to break when it's held in your hand as a weapon, the weapon is the life of a warrior, and it seems to me that you've lost dozens of lives. ”

Mu Fengye lowered his head a little ashamedly, looking at the broken wooden sticks all over the ground, the palms of his hands were red and purple, with abrasions and serious scratches, why did he choose to practice swordsmanship at such a time? If he just wanted to master Chigusa's swordsmanship and could practice it at any time, why would he come here alone in the middle of the night to practice alone?

"What's on your mind?" Sakuruma stepped over the bushes, picked up a wooden stick from the ground and checked its breaks, each one was broken by brute force, Mu Fengye was not practicing swordsmanship, but venting emotions somewhere in his heart indiscriminately, which Sakuruma could see, because swordsmanship and venting were completely different.

"Eh, no, I just want to quickly recall the swordsmanship that Chigusa taught me, or I'll forget it later. Mu Fengye's hand holding the wooden stick loosened slightly, his hands were full of scars, and his fists also had a lot of abrasions, I am afraid that it was caused by hitting the trunk of the tree when he was not satisfied with his practice.

"No, you're anxious. ”

"What do you want me to say before you believe it......" Mu Fengye changed one hand and continued to hold the wooden stick, with a layer of confusion in his eyes.

Sakurama stared at him for a long time, as if she understood where his confusion came from: "It's time to go back, after breakfast, we have to go to find the mark left by the four houses, and try to catch up with them today." ”

"Oh. Hearing this, Mu Fengye threw down the wooden stick in his hand, glanced at the trunk of the tree that had begun to twist and deform after being beaten by himself overnight, frowned slightly, and finally followed Sakura's steps back to the side of the pond.

"By the way, you've run out of arrows, here are some I picked up last night, although not much, I hope it's enough. With that, Mu Fengye handed Sakuruma a bundle of branches pinned to her waist, she didn't say anything and took the branches, summoned a quiver and loaded them all in.

When she summoned the quiver, there was still one last arrow left in it, if I remember correctly, no matter whether she was in an advantage or a disadvantage in battle, she always left the last arrow, if it was an average archer, once nervous, she would keep shooting the arrow she had, and she could always count how many times she had the opportunity to draw the bow.

"You're back, these are mine and Chigusa's, and the rest is yours. "Chie gave one-third of the total amount of food to Mu Fengye and Sakurama, and the rest was all over.

"Hey...... You two. ”

"Forget it, Mu Feng, it's enough for us to replenish some physical strength. "Sakurama is not picky, the food was originally found by the Jinguji sisters, they don't give the food to themselves, but this kind of thing didn't happen, in this world, you can't just rely on the two girls to find food.

Ten minutes later, replenishing their energy and physical strength, the four of them returned to the forest along the way they came yesterday, the sight of the day is relatively abundant, even if they encounter any monsters, they have the strength to fight, and they must go back there to find the mark of the four palaces, they have been out of touch with Takagi's team for two whole days, do not pray for them to stop and wait, at least spare no effort to catch up quickly.

"Do your legs feel better?" On the way, Chigusa and Sakuruma's worries came out at the same time, and Mu Fengye walked behind them all the time, as if he would be thrown off immediately if he accelerated his pace a little.

"Fortunately, the bones seem to have healed, and they will probably recover tomorrow. "From being completely unable to move at the beginning to now being able to walk freely, the statement of a hundred days of broken muscles and bones does not seem to hold up here, and I don't know whether it is good or bad for him.

"Look, the one in front of you is the corpse of that monster from yesterday, right?" Chie asked as she suddenly stopped, pointing to a puddle of bloody flesh not far ahead, the surrounding tree trunks were covered in scratches, some deep and some shallow, the same marks as Silver's Wind Blade seen yesterday afternoon.

The corpse of the seven-headed dog was a pile of bones left, and there were several fist-sized insects gnawing on the mutilated pieces of meat, but they didn't seem to have any interest in humans, and they didn't have the urge to come up and bite like those monsters saw food, but they just ate the flesh of the seven-headed dog very dutifully.

"I didn't expect us to end up fighting these bugs for food. Chie picked up a wooden stick at her feet and smashed it mercilessly on the bodies of those insects, they were very timid, and after being attacked, they did not choose to fight back, but just blindly scattered and fled.

Chie saved the leg of the last seven-headed dog that had not yet been eaten by the bugs, and it was the only thing that could be used for lunch at the moment, and although it had been a whole night, it was still worth eating.

"We've been doing this all along, but you're not realizing it until now. Sakurama flipped over the skulls of the seven dogs, which were clearly crushed, and many of them were deformed or shattered, and it seemed that there were more than just mutated black dogs and Sylph in this forest.

"This is just the beginning, right?" Chigusa asked suddenly.

Although Mu Fengye didn't want to admit this fact very much, it seemed that this was the case, the second month after coming to the other world, and spending the previous month, everyone had already recognized the reality, and no one was crying to leave here, but preparing for his safe return to the present world.
