Bran followed the group, constantly drawing and retracting the knife, and every time a mosquito was bound to be cut down. It's not just through eye observation, it's more about feedback through the magic web. His senses of sight, hearing, and touch began to become more acute as they were unified with the perception of the magic web. It is not a simple adaptation and synchronization, but the body's senses, coordinated by the magic network, become a kind of synaesthesia, making his observation more comprehensive and layered.

Bran's sword light attracted the attention of several teenagers, and several in the swamp noticed, his blade always flashing with golden or silver stars. It's just that after coming out of the swamp, Bran has been keeping a respectful stay away from them. In the past two days, the two sides have eased up, so after seeing the knife light again, my cousin came over.

Dia looked at it for a moment and said, "Bran, lend me your knife." ”

Bran ignored her, and most Northlanders would ignore it. Seeing that Bran didn't react, Dia was a little sneered and muttered in a low voice, "Stingy." ”

Most little girls have no resistance to beautiful things, so soon Dia changed her approach: "Who forged your sword?"

"It's not a forging, I do it myself. ”

"Bragging again!"

Bran slashed down a bug, but the bug was so close to Dia's face that a very subtle wind of the knife slashed across her face, as if the blade had really cut through her face, and she jumped to the side in fright. I touched my face carefully and was relieved when I found that it was okay.

Relieved, she raised her eyebrows and yelled at Bran, "Idiot! What are you doing?"

Bran took out his knife again to split a bug, and said casually, "Fly, cut it." ”

Angry, Dia stomped her feet away......

......

The real shock came after encountering a small beehive. Bran stopped Dani, pointed to the hive, and said, "I'll ask you." ”

Bran then walked towards the hive, slashing down every wild bee he came across. Until the wild bees in the hive poured out of the hive and pounced on him. His sword light was fully unfolded, and the whole person began to move quickly around the hive, flashing and moving in a small area, and the whole person was surrounded by golden and silver starlight. The starlight gradually joined together, like two strange reckless entanglements, tightly winding Bran inside.

As soon as the knife was retracted, Bran, who was a little breathless, stood on the edge of the hive and grinned at Dani, looking like he was waiting for a compliment.

During the meal, Bran began to get busy, he hunted a cow and touched a few birds' eggs. Make a stone slab, handle it simply, and fry the egg in butter. After stir-frying some beef, he brought it to Dani, no longer bothering the drooling of the others, and ate it with Dani on his own.

After eating, Bran casually mentioned a word to help everyone sort out their weapons and equipment. Just as Bran rejected Dia, no one paid attention to him. Only Dani smiled and put her weapons one by one in front of Bran's eyes, watching him touch them left and right.

Bran fiddled with Dani's weapon and said, "It's good to be with you, a few days of rest, and the harvest of this time has finally been digested and absorbed." ”

"Dani, you know what......" Bran hesitated, as if he didn't know how to say the rest of the word.

Dani hugged Bran and asked, "Want to go alone again?"

"Hmm. Bran reached out and patted the big head of his white wolf next to him.

"Okay, be careful yourself. Dani didn't stand in the way.

"I'll leave early tomorrow morning, and you escort your cousin and them for a while, and then you'll go back to our villa. Now I can really take care of myself, and you don't have to worry too much. Bran hugged Dani, a little reluctant.

"I'm going to a place where it's safe, so I don't have to drag them down. ”

"Be careful yourself, don't do anything like challenging the lion king again. Dani admonished.

Bran grinned: "Well, don't worry, it won't." What I need now is to consolidate myself and not risk looking for a breakthrough under pressure. ”

......

Hearing that Bran was going to leave alone, several cousins were dissatisfied. Think it's Bran's distrust of them and a grudge against the swamp incident.

Dia even shouted to Bran: "We came to help you, but you left us, you are ungrateful." ”

Bran looked up at the others, trying to find some different answers, but there was none. So he sighed and said, "There are some things that I didn't want to say. But since so many days have passed, and you are still blaming others without reflecting on yourself, it is better to say something clearly. ”

Dia said, "What's not clear? You're just unhappy with what happened in the swamp, and it was a complete accident. ”

Bran smiled bitterly: "I know it was an accident, and there are reasons why we have been together for too short, lack of understanding, lack of feelings, lack of cooperation and tacit understanding." ”

Leah said, "We stayed, and we didn't abandon you and run away alone. ”

Bran looked at her and said, "At that time, I would have preferred that you escape, if not at least some distance. You have a good eye and know that it will be difficult to dodge the surprise attack with your reflexes and speed, so you don't join the head-on fight.

At that time, I needed more space. But you kept it compressed because I was holding the bug for the time being. As you can see, I just don't want you to be hurt if I stay. You think you're safe, and you don't even think about giving me room to maneuver, forcing me to fight that bug in a small area.

For the sake of your competitiveness, for the sake of your so-called bravery, you have forced me into a life-and-death dilemma. You are still complacent about what you have left. It seems to be very brave and remarkable. ”

Bran sighed and continued, "Things have gotten better, and I've started to get used to the rhythm of the attack, at least for a while, as you should be able to see it. When rescue is imminent, whether you are fighting for merit or showing your bravery, in short, you throw the spear in your hand without thinking that it will endanger my life.

In fact, there have been opportunities to make a move before, but you have never made a move, probably knowing that once I fall, you will also be in danger, so I have been hesitating. But when the rescue came, it no longer mattered whether I lived or died, and you acted decisively. Now you don't realize why you did it at that moment? Many times, unconscious actions really reveal your heart.

It's okay, I understand this kind of thing, and I don't really care, but I can't be a companion in battle with you anymore.

You keep emphasizing that it wasn't intentional. I know, it's unintentional, but it's scary because of it. You guys haven't realized it yet, so what about next time?

You apologized to me, and I said it was fine. Actually, it's really okay, the past is in the past, it's okay. What I forgive is only what happened, and I don't hold anything accountable for the past, and I don't blame anything for the past.

But in the future, I will keep an appropriate distance from you. It's not a grudge, it's not a cautious eye, it's just a lesson, a lesson I have to remember. Because when we walk together, things like this happen again, and I can't have the luck of avoiding the threat of my companions every time.

For each other's safety, I choose to keep my distance from you. Because next time there is a similar situation, maybe I won't put your lives first, maybe I will give up on you, or even use you as bait. Rather than this, let's separate for both sides, not only for me, but also for you. ”

"Maybe that's the meaning of trials, we meet different people on the road, we go through a lot of things, and we grow from those experiences. Recognize others as well as yourself. I understand a little now, at first I thought that the trial was to go to the weak and stay strong, then I thought it was to gain strength, and now I find that it is a process of finding myself. ”

Bran stopped talking, ignoring any pestering.
