Chapter 31: Pupil Sounds

Consciousness, little by little. Ayton felt the presence of his own consciousness, and gradually, he felt the presence of his body, but it was extremely heavy.

This is...... Where? Is it the world after death? Or am I crossing over again? Heaven won't be so good to me?

The soreness came from all over the body, and the eyelids were extremely heavy. He tried to open it, but a faint light stabbed his eyes fiercely.

He subconsciously stretched out his hand to block the light, but he didn't bring up his overly heavy arm, only his five fingers moved slightly.

Could it really be that I have really crossed over, like the scene when I crossed over, but unfortunately Ariel doesn't know what happened

Ayton thought to himself, and suddenly felt his right hand being grabbed by a warm little hand, and a stream of heat came from it, very slowly and carefully, as if he was afraid of hurting himself by mistake. Strength gradually returned to Ayton's body.

He slowly opened his eyelids, allowing them to adjust to the brightness of the light.

Still twisted black trees, dimly lit cave tops, with the occasional pair of scarlet eyes flying above it...... He's still in the dark cave.

"Wake up... Finish. An ethereal girl's voice came, but the words were pronounced with great difficulty, like a baby learning to speak.

Ayton's gaze moved to the side, and then he was stunned, almost unable to believe his eyes.

This is actually a beautiful girl who looks only twelve or thirteen years old!

She is very beautiful, beautiful and bewitching, and beautiful and seductive, so that people dare not look at it directly. Only if you have seen her with your own eyes will you believe that a girl who looks so small can unleash such a thrilling charm.

Long pitch black as night, dancing without wind in her slow fall, caressing her white jade-like face, her facial features are all extremely beautiful, and there is a ghostly black jewel on her chest, which is set in a black rope woven into a net, and tied to her snow-white neck, which is not ordinary at first glance. The combination of the two is unbelievably perfect. Even Ayton briefly lost his mind under this fatal visual impact.

Her eyes were unusually dark, flickering with a faint black light as the eye waves flickered.

At this time, these eyes looked at him fixedly, releasing joy, fascination, and excitement, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, revealing an innocent and charming smile, as if a girl had seen the most desired and favorite toy.

On her body, it was a jet-black dress, which also swung without wind in her slow fall, revealing her delicate snow-white calves under the skirt, which was also flawless. A pair of delicate pink feet like ice lotus hang down naturally on their toes, and the delicate toes are crystal clear, like jade carving.

But that's not the point, the point is, she's not a dark elf, she's a human!

Legend has it that these black-haired and black-eyed people landed on the eastern coast of the Dawning Continent on a large number of huge ships 2,500 years ago, when their supplies were nearly exhausted, their hulls were widely damaged, and they stayed for a few days before falling apart in the endless sea.

Only nearly 3,000 Orientals were left to live in this foreign land. Of course, since they were outsiders, some conflicts were inevitable, and after five hundred years of running-in, the various races on the continent finally recognized their identities, indicating that they lived together in harmony in this land.

Later, in the Great War two thousand years ago, under the leadership of the Demon King Sagios, the demons from the northern edge of the land attacked the Dawning Continent on a large scale, and for a time, the flames of war burned throughout the continent, and many innocent people were scattered and homeless, which was the darkest decade of the Dawning Continent.

Due to the seriousness of the situation, the five races of the Winged Clan, Elves, Dwarves, Humans, and Orcs formed a holy alliance to jointly resist the invasion of the demons of hell.

But the effect was very small, because at that time, the various forces of the alliance were actually scattered, and they were unwilling to sacrifice their compatriots to die, but only fought on their own turf. There are even some local forces that have actually taken refuge in the demon clan.

For example, the orcs in the northwest have evil orcs, the elves in the east have dark elves, the dwarves in the southwest have black iron dwarves, the southeast wings have fallen wings, and the terrans have necromancers.

As a result, everyone must not only face the invasion of demons, but also beware of the betrayal and suspicion of their allies. Time...... The Allies suffered heavy casualties, but at this critical juncture.

The Orientals stood up, the Orientals were the least numerous, but the most united, and no one had turned to the devil in the ten years of catastrophe...... Under the leadership of the Cangxuan Holy Emperor, they went to various races to lobby, successfully found many traitors and killed them, and won the approval of the supreme leaders of each race with their strength and wisdom, and expressed their willingness to obey his arrangements one by one.

Under the leadership of the Orientals led by Emperor Xuanyuan, the allies united to defeat and win, killing nine demon lords, beating the demons back to the northern edge, destroying the soul of the demon king Satan and sealing his body under the Northern Holy Tower, where he could never be resurrected.

And established the first Oriental Empire, which is also the largest empire in human history, the Black Dragon Empire, and officially named this continent the Dawn Continent, because this continent is the dawn in the darkness for their ancestors...... It's so dazzling. For a time, the population of the East increased dramatically.

But there is no permanent royal power in the world, and the 13th emperor of the Black Dragon Empire a thousand years ago - winning the government is unscrupulous, brutalizing the people, suppressing foreign races, making people panic, and even some Orientals can't stand it. Later, Ying Zheng heard that there was an elixir of immortality in the East, and ordered the whole country to build the largest fleet on the mainland, and the pent-up anger of the masses completely erupted here.

The power of the Black Dragon Empire collapsed, the royal family was slaughtered, and the entire empire was torn apart. The number of Orientals has decreased dramatically, but it has not all disappeared, but has faded out of people's field of vision, because today's country no longer has the power of Orientals.

But the most important thing is ...... How did she, a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, survive in the depths of the Land of Trials?

"Who are you?" Ayton sat down slowly, looking incredulously at the black-haired, black-eyed girl in front of him.

The girl was stunned for a moment, as if she was thinking about the meaning of his words.

It took a long time before he replied with difficulty.

"Hitomi... tone"

"Hitomi?"

"Hmm. Hitomi nodded happily, as if excited to have someone to talk to her.

"Hitomi, why are you here?"

"In... This... Hitomi tilted her little head in confusion at first, then her eyes gradually became hazy, and her voice trembled.

"Because... For...... Father. ”

What, her dad left her here? Ayton looked at the girl's misty eyes, not knowing how to comfort her.

"Shhhh Ayton was startled, picked up the Nether Sword that had fallen not far away, and protected it in front of Hitomi.

A huge figure approached from the woods, and Ayton's pupils quickly narrowed.

Sixth-Order Demonic Beast, the Spider Queen, the extremely conspicuous dark green crown-like tentacles on her head symbolize her status as a king.

Do you still have to die? Ayton was sad in his heart, he thought he could go back to see Ariel, it seems that this time the hope is gone, he will never escape from the spider queen, not to mention that there is a human girl by his side, he will never leave such a cute girl and run away alone.

Ayton resisted the fear in his heart and glanced back at the girl, only to find that she was looking at him with a puzzled expression, as if she didn't understand why he was so afraid.

"Hiss" Another roar came, and the Spider Queen came a little closer, less than ten meters away from them, and Ayton could clearly see her thirty-six dark green eyes blinking one by one.

Suddenly, he felt a strong gust of wind coming from his side, and the strong air flow made Ayton can't help but close his eyes.

Immediately, the Spider Queen's screams and blood spurts reached Ayton's ears, and he suddenly opened his eyes and found that the Spider Queen's original arrogance had instantly dissipated, leaving only two severed limbs on the ground, and the wound was still spurting dark green blood.

"This!?" Ayton still couldn't help but let out an exclamation, and turned his head to see Hitomi standing straight beside the demonic beast, with an indifferent expression, as if it was just an ordinary spider in front of him, not some sixth-order demonic beast spider queen.

"Hitomi!?" Ayton looked at Hitomi in shock, and he didn't know what to say. By this time, the Spider Queen had fled quickly. Ayton then thought about why it was walking slowly just now, and it turned out to be afraid of the pupil.

Hitomi picks up the two broken legs that the Spider Queen has dropped, walks over to Ayton and hands him one. Ayton also used to eat spider legs with Ariel when he was a child, and they tasted like prawns without peeling their shells.

Ayton took the spider leg, but he didn't have the appetite to eat it, this is the spider queen's leg, it turns out that the pupil voice is so strong, so why does she still live here.

"Hitomi, ...... you" Before the question in his heart was finished, Ayton found that Hitomi had already eaten the spider's thigh. Although spider legs can be eaten raw, eating raw food is not good.

Ayton snatched the spider leg from Hitomi's hand. "It's not good to eat raw food. ”

Hitomi frowned suspiciously, as if she couldn't understand what he was saying.

Seeing this, Ayton sighed, and his pupil seemed to be living the life of a primitive person, eating raw food all day long, and his ability to communicate in language was also lost, and he had a strong strength.

Ayton put the two spider legs in place, told Hitomi not to eat, and then collected some branches, leaves, etc., and then made a fire by drilling wood to make a fire, originally he had flint, but I don't know when he lost it.

Black smoke gradually rose from the wood, and Ayton quickly covered it with a little leaf, and blew at it, and the flame ignited instantly.

The black pupils of the pupil reflected the red flames, and his facial expression remained motionless, not knowing what he was remembering.

Ayton put the two spider legs on the flame and roasted them, and the two of them sat by the flames, completely ignoring that they were in the core of the Trials Land, after all, there was a pupil, and Ayton wished that there would be monsters to continue to deliver ingredients.

"Hitomi, what level are you at now?" "To be able to beat the sixth-order spider queen like that in an instant, she must at least have the level of a seventh-order war king, but is she really only thirteen years old...... I heard that after people reach the sixth-order level, their lifespan will be greatly increased, and their appearance will basically remain at the level of that person who has broken through to the sixth-order, so does that mean that this pupil voice has broken through to the sixth-order level at the age of twelve or thirteen?

"Few... Steps?" Hitomi didn't understand what Ayton was saying, as if he didn't know what it meant, and seemed to have forgotten what level he was.

Ayton had to ask other questions, "Does Hitomi want to leave here?"

Hitomi hesitated and nodded slightly, it seemed that she was tired of it.

"Then why didn't Hitomi go out?"

Hitomi thought for a moment, lowered her head, and looked gloomy. "Because...... Father. ”

Is it because of her dad again? Ayton groaned for a moment, looking at the cliff, where there was no barrier, and with the ability of the pupil, he could go out freely, and he could completely leave the dark area and go to the surface world to live freely.

"Hitomi, where is your dad now?"

"Dad... Dad, gone, Dad... Father... Say...... Will come...... Pick me up. After Hitomi finished speaking word by word, tears flowed uncontrollably.

Ayton was at a loss for a moment, not knowing how to comfort this girl who was abandoned by her parents, and to touch her head like comforting Ariel, but he didn't seem to be so familiar with Hitomi, for fear that she would have a misunderstanding and kill him.

There must have been a reason why his father kept her here.

After a while, Hitomi stopped crying.

At this time, the spider leg was already cooked, and Ayton peeled off the shell of one of the spider legs and handed it to Hitomi, who happily took it, she didn't expect the spider leg to eat like this.

Seeing this, Ayton picked up the other leg and ate it, he was also a little hungry now, and the smell of the spider leg after roasting it was like a smell for the two of them. In a few moments, the two huge forelimbs were left with a hard shell.

Hitomi lay contentedly on the ground, oblivious to the black dirt on the ground. Ayton looked at the hundred-meter-high cliff, the cliff was scattered with a few low trees, although it was still a little steep, but with his current level of the third order, he could barely climb the rock. There was a huge pillar of white light in the back, although he was puzzled, Ayton didn't plan to look at it, he wanted to meet Ariel early, and he didn't want her to worry too much.

"How long has Hitomi been here?"

Hitomi sat up, frowned and counted her fingers, her brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and then she shook her head, "Okay... Good... Long"

It looks like it's been at least a few decades, otherwise I'd have lost my ability to speak.

"Hitomi, do you want to leave here with me now? ”

"Can't...... Leave. ”

"Why can't you leave, can you be more specific?" Ayton asked reluctantly, he wanted to leave with Hitomi, he couldn't bear to let her stay in this place where he didn't see the light of day.

"Because ......" Hitomi had a complicated expression, her mouth opened slightly, she wanted to say something but couldn't say it, she suddenly stood up, took Ayton's hand, and motioned for him to come with her.

In order to find out why Hitomi was here, Ayton had to follow her. The direction of progress turned out to be where the white pillar of light was.

Along the way, the two encountered many fourth-order, fifth-order, sixth-order, and even seventh-order demonic beasts. But they all looked at it from a distance, as if they were very familiar with the sound of the pupil, and they didn't dare to come forward to provoke them. Ayton was also relieved.

A pillar of light about 100 meters high and a radius of about fifty meters rises from the ground, emitting a strong white light as a whole, and on the ground is a complex huge magic array, with abundant magic lines intertwined and flowing, even though Ayton already has a certain understanding of the magic array under the teaching of Bahrain, but he still doesn't know about this magic array at the moment, and can only vaguely guess that this is a seal-type magic array.

"Here...... Yes...... Demons, must ...... Slay...... Talent...... Leave. Hitomi said this with difficulty, and Ayton knew why Hitomi was reluctant to leave, it turned out to be to protect the seal.

"Okay, I see. Ayton turned his head to look at Hitomi: "Then I'm leaving, there are still people waiting for me to go back, I'll come to see you when I have time in the future." "It's a pity that Hitomi is here alone, but he still has to go back to Ariel.

"Not allowed...... Walk. The commanding words came from Hitomi's mouth, and Ayton saw Hitomi's expression instantly turn cold, and looked directly at Ayton.

Ayton felt a sense of foreboding. "Hitomi, why?"

"In this ...... Stay with me. There was a hint of supplication in his firm tone, but it was not to be refused.

Ayton remembered the first time Hitomi looked at him, the child's eyes when he spotted a particularly fun toy......
