Chapter 164 - Into the Abyss
Knowing a little about Arai's injury, Mu Fengye just nodded guiltily, and didn't plan to visit her, since the failure of the last plan, her attitude towards herself has changed sharply, and now I'm afraid it's just adding fuel to the fire.
Takagi has been gone for a week, but the atmosphere here in Tenki has not improved at all, the conflict between Chigusa and Chie has intensified, the relationship between Sirina and Ciel is also very tense, and now Arai Sui has been burned by the fire again, and the scattered team is not even able to create a harmonious atmosphere, let alone unite again.
"Gao Zhi, it's hard work, Mu Feng and I will stay here in the second half of the night. Sakuruma had never been so polite to Takashi, and this tone inevitably made him break out in a cold sweat behind his back.
"You're not playing any bad ideas, are you?" asked Gao Zhi cautiously.
Sakuruma didn't feel that there was any malice in her words, and looked at Takashi blankly.
"Forget it, I'll go back. Gao Zhi just made a joke to relax his spirits, and walked back to the tent with a smile, "Then please leave it to the two of you, Ai Lu probably can't take care of one person over there, and it would be better if someone helped her." ”
Mu Fengye let out a sigh of relief, silently staring at the small shed used for emergency construction in the distance.
"Won't you go over?" Sakuruma asked, standing behind Mu Fengye.
He shook his head, crept close to the Heavenly Tree, and sat down in a position where he could see Arai on the spiral road.
"The burns are severe, Sakurama, is this our responsibility?"
"No, Mu Feng, you didn't do anything wrong, don't blame yourself. Sakuruma leaned against the tree, fiddling with obsidian arrows in her hands, and every time she looked at them, her fingers always pinched the arrows very tightly, as if they would fall off from her hands.
Three days later, Arai's burns have improved, and with the rapid healing of another world, her body has basically recovered to the same level as before, but the burned scars on her skin have become a deficiency in her heart.
"Are you going to train together today?" Before leaving in the morning, Takashi looked at Arai under his hood in disbelief, "It's still a few days, there's no need to be so anxious, let's recuperate here with peace of mind." ”
"Take me there. Arai's voice was a little hoarse, the fire from three days ago seemed to have had an effect on her vocal cords, the wide hood and half gloomy face, and the bandage on her left leg, she looked terrible.
"Gao Zhi, take Sui, go out and exercise will be good for her recovery. Alow didn't refuse Arai's request, and took her bandaged left hand and walked towards the forest.
I left a little late today, and only the four palaces left in the camp were to prepare lunch and pack up clothes for the students, and even Mu Fengye, who had always liked to lie in bed, was gone, looking at the remains of the tent that were burned to ashes by the fire, Gao Zhi looked at the back of Arai who walked in front of her even more worriedly, if she was depressed like this, she couldn't do it.
Half an hour later, Gao Zhi's team came to the second-floor forest where training is carried out on weekdays, which is relatively safe compared to the first floor, and the patrols on weekdays are also frequent, so it is unlikely that there will be any accidents.
Arai's steps limped, and her left leg was hard with each step, but her right leg, which was not injured, seemed to have suffered a serious blow, which made Takashi feel a little strange.
And when he raised his head, a resentful eye suddenly met his gaze, Arai's eyes were terrifying, just glanced at Gao Zhi and slowly turned his head. Gao Zhi was very uncomfortable by that glance, almost out of breath, as if he saw the former Xia Chuan in Arai's body.
"Sui, it's good for you to watch today's training, and I'll take you to do recovery training in a few days. Eru found a scarred tree, the object of her previous practice, sturdy and strong, and it was hard to find a more durable tree in this forest.
Arai waved his hand, straightened up, lifted the hood on his head, and tugged down a lot, as if he didn't intend for Eru to see her now.
Although the second-level forest is relatively safe, there will still be many nuclear-level creatures that are not very strong to invade here, and they dare not attack those herbivorous creatures that are larger than themselves, but dare to try their luck here and wait for the arrival of humans.
"Ailu, you don't want to say yes, do you?" Gao Zhi put down his backpack and observed the surrounding environment, it was surprisingly quiet today, no herbivores could be heard, and there was no restlessness of carnivorous nuclear creatures, it was like a dead forest.
"It should be no problem, Sui's body is clear, since she asks for it......" Ailu turned her head to Arai and cast an inquiring gaze, but was fiercely stopped by her gloomy and indifferent gaze, she hadn't spoken all these days, and it wasn't until the night before that Ailu knew that Arai's vocal cords had gone wrong in that fire.
"You're too used to her, what if something happens?"
Ai Lu smiled kindly at Arai, "I believe Sui, she will be able to get better." ”
"Ah~ Regardless of the two of you, what is today's project?" In the team, Arai has always played the role of captain, and Takashi and Ailu have also been training according to her arrangement every day.
Arai knows the two of them well, so he is able to choose the right training program every time.
"Let's try it against each other, there's a way to test the results of the training. Arai announced in a hoarse voice.
"Sui, you're not kidding, are you?"
"Are you questioning me?"
Ai Lu hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, no, no, how can I question Spike......?" Are you okay with your body now?"
"Don't worry. ”
Ailu's expression was slightly lost, and Arai's personality had deteriorated a lot, revealing a sense of coldness and disdain from her bones.
"Gao Zhi is the referee, don't interfere in this game. Arai directly chose Ailu as the target, and after a casual command, he crossed his hands on the sides of his head, and a pair of black scimitars slowly condensed into shape.
Arai clutched the scimitar tightly, and his expression was full of murderous aura when he revealed half of his face, as if he couldn't wait to kill Ailu!
"Is this guy really playing......" Takashi didn't rush to stop Arai, her movements didn't look like she had been injured at all, her previous limping leg was now extremely smooth, and she quickly ran close to Ailu.
"Sui, let me show you my growth. ”
The black spear burst out of the air and stabbed straight into Arai's chest, these two people really didn't have any sense of proportion, they both wanted each other's lives, I really hope they won't have any accidents.
"Phew!"
After a brief encounter, Arai flicked away Ailu's spear with the knife in his right hand, and then swung the scimitar in his left hand, and his body quickly slid forward, slashing heavily towards her neck!
"Arai!"
Seeing that the situation was not right, Gao Zhi immediately summoned his obsidian to prepare to block her blow.
But at the moment when the black shield appeared, Arai suddenly stopped the knife in his hand, tugged at the brim of his hat with both hands, and took a few steps back. Takashi was so frightened that he thought that Arai couldn't control himself and would kill Ailu here, but it seemed that he was thinking too much, and even if her personality changed, she still wouldn't attack her friends.
"Didn't I call you a referee?"
"Hey, even if it's a competition, you have to pay attention to proportion, if you really hurt the other party......"
"So what?" Arai interrupted Takashi's words and said coldly.
"Uh......" Gao Zhi was speechless for a while, he vaguely realized that the person in front of him was no longer the previous Arai, that girl would not say such things easily, the situation was far more serious than he imagined, I am afraid it has reached the point of no return.
"Sui, I lost just now, let's do it again, I've already mastered your attack. Ai Lu didn't seem to feel anything, and still treated Arai as a friend before, but Gao Zhike couldn't do it, and the gloomy atmosphere didn't look like an atmosphere between friends.
With the lesson just now, Gao Zhi no longer dared to take back Obsidian, and the distance was a little closer, Arai didn't know what crazy moves he would make, in short, he had to stop her, and only after Ailu realized it could they let Arai find himself again.
It's still the same attack, as if it's deliberately catering to Ailu, and Arai is galloping from a distance again!
"Is it the same move?" Ailu was wary, she knew that Arai couldn't use the same attack, only a fool would do it. Try to judge Arai's next plan, her weapons are much more flexible than herself, and her attack level will not be limited to one point, so this is ......
"Phew!"
Elu's black spear quickly parried twice in a row, and quickly found the gap between Arai's two knives, slamming the bottom end into her abdomen.
"Ahem!"
"Ah, are you okay?" Ai Lu saw that she had hit Arai's scar, and immediately put down the black spear in her hand and squatted down to ask her about her situation, "It's all my fault, I forgot about Sui's injury just now." ”
"Whew-"
Arai's body suddenly leaped to his feet, and one of the scimitars slashed through Elu's cheek, leaving a deep red bloody wound.
"Arai, it's a little too much! Ailu just cares about you!"
"It's okay Gao Zhi, it's just a few scrapes, and it will be fine soon. Ai Lu continued to let Gao Zhi indulge Arai, whose personality was gradually distorted, and until now, he had just discovered that Ai Lu seemed to have been signaling to him not to interfere, it seemed that she had already known about Arai's situation, and yes, how could a friend who had been together all day not see the change in the other party?
"What if you hurt the other party?" Arai asked, looking at the blood on the blade and raising the right half of his smiling face.
"Spike, it's time for the real battle next, let her come back......"
