() "Chizuru? How did you end up here? What's wrong with me? Xiao Zhang looked at the thousand cranes formed by the flames and was a little confused.

For the first time, Chizuru's face did not have that frivolous expression, and his eyes were full of Yan sù and joy: "It's good that you're okay!" You're too reckless, how can you be so risky? Okay, I'll tell you when we get out, and now we need to solve this problem. ”

Chizuru turned to the dark space in front of him, his expression solemn: "Is this your flame origin, what a terrifying potential." It's no wonder that this kind of thing can happen with your strength, I'm afraid it's on par with those at the top of the flame ability! ”

Xiao Zhang or the second monk couldn't figure it out, and the space in front of him couldn't see anything except darkness. Just as he was about to speak, a little light suddenly appeared in the original darkness, and at first it was only faintly visible like the stars at night.

But in the blink of an eye, the light expanded violently, turning into a flame with a diameter of two meters, beating violently.

"It's ...... My, ability? Xiao Zhang looked at the flame, a little uncertain. Because although he is very familiar with his own strange energy, this flame is a little strange for some reason while being familiar, and Xiao Zhang can feel the love of this flame and want to eat himself.

That's right, it's like roaring to yourself: "I'm going to eat you!" Come here and let me eat it! Feeling this feeling, Xiao Zhang was at a loss. It's like a friend I grew up with, who is obviously very familiar, but one day I don't know you anymore, and I want to kill you.

"Is this coming?" Chizuru looked at the flames that finally couldn't stand the surge, the purple light flashed in his eyes, and his right hand was instantly wrapped in purple flames, and he threw forward: "Crane!" ”

The flames on his arms rose against the wind, and in an instant, he turned into a flame purple crane more than ten meters high, facing the flames that rushed over, his wings fluttered, and he raised his head and let out a scream!

In an instant, an invisible shock wave burst out, although it did not rush towards Xiao Zhang, but just feeling the aftermath in the back made Xiao Zhang dizzy and his brain ached for a while.

The flame was even more unbearable, and although it tried to move forward, it was blocked by the shockwave, and after holding on for less than five seconds, it was dispersed.

At the moment when the flames dispersed, Xiao Zhang seemed to hear a cold snort, but it was very illusory, so that Xiao Zhang couldn't figure out if it was his hallucination.

Retracting the flames, Chizuru turned around and flew outside with Xiao Zhang. Along the way, Chizuru didn't speak, just flew with his head bored. After flying for about half a minute, a bright light appeared in front of him, and when he got closer, he saw that it was a white circle-like thing, constantly emitting strong light, making Xiao Zhang a little unable to open his eyes.

Without a moment's hesitation, Qianhe rushed into the bright light with Xiao Zhang and disappeared.

After they left, the light slowly faded, and the world fell into dead silence and darkness. But the space of this world suddenly fluctuated violently, and some places had already cracked.

A ball of flame suddenly appeared, I don't know how huge it was! It's as if the world can't accommodate it! The surrounding space even melted at its temperature!

"Very good, very good, much faster than I expected, hahahaha, this person seems to be more suitable than him! However, he hasn't grown up yet, so it's better to put all the bets on that person first. Double insurance, it's safe! Hahahaha! Soon, soon! ”

On the other side, after entering the bright light, Xiao Zhang lost consciousness. When he recovered, he opened his eyes and saw that he was lying on his bed.

"Yo, awake?"

Hearing the voice, Xiao Zhang looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw Shi Zhengjin sitting on a chair with a cigarette in his mouth, looking at him with Erlang's legs crossed.

Xiao Zhang wanted to get up, but as soon as his body moved, he felt bursts of sharp pain. And it's not physical, it seems to come from within one's own body, from one's soul.

A mouthful of blood spurted out, Xiao Zhang lay on the bed weakly, and asked, "Uncle, what's wrong with me, what happened?" ”

Shi Zhengjin closed his eyes and opened them again, and slowly spoke: "Xiao Zhang, do you know that you were only one line away from death before, if it wasn't for Qianhe who found out and saved you in time, tsk, the consequences would be unimaginable." ”

"Ah, death? That's right! Xiao Zhang suddenly remembered: "Why did I run to that place before?" ”

"Don't worry, I'll tell you slowly." Unhurriedly exhaling a puff of smoke, Shi Zhengjin spoke: "You natural ability people, unlike the other two systems, you will have a huge change when you reach the S level in the future, and that is also an important reason why your natural ability can really establish your strongest ability identity." ”

"That's if you can elementalize, yes, don't interrupt me, you just have to listen to it." Seeing that Xiao Zhang was about to speak, Shi Zhengjin interrupted him.

"Elementalization is to turn oneself into the ability you have, fire into fire, water into water, that's it. And once that's done, physical attacks and normal abilities don't work for you at all, because you're the natural elemental yourself. ”

"But ah, this process has to be gradual, little by little, especially the last and most critical process must be carried out when you reach the S level, otherwise you will be assimilated by the ability, lose your consciousness, and truly become a natural element. And before, I didn't know whether to praise you or scold you, so I went directly to the last process, and it almost turned into a fire. However, I am also responsible, I didn't expect you to be so talented, I didn't explain it to you in advance. But luckily, nothing happened, and that's for the best. ”

After hearing this, Xiao Zhang felt that he was covered in a cold sweat and turned into a fire? Isn't that scarier than death? "By the way, uncle, there's nothing wrong with that Chizuru."

Shi Zhengjin hesitated for a moment: "I won't hide it from you, Qianhe's current situation is not very good. After all, you were in a strange space between your own alien energy and yourself, and Chizuru, as an outsider, forcibly sent your own alien energy into your body and rescued you, which is equivalent to Chizuru taking all the pressure alone, otherwise you thought that you would just vomit a mouthful of blood for such a big thing. ”

"What? Is she not feeling good right now? Xiao Zhang was startled, and immediately gritted his teeth and stood up, "I'll go see her, how is she?" ”

Shi Zhengjin was just about to stop him, but seeing the expression on his face, he dispelled this thought. "You two, what the same nonsense! Forget it, fortunately, Chizuru's strength is much stronger than yours, so there is no great danger, Lan Xin went to treat her, at most, she couldn't get up for half a month. ”

Although Shi Zhengjin's tone was pretending to be relaxed, Xiao Zhang knew that this incident must be very dangerous, and he was just trying to reassure himself. But the more this happened, the more Xiao Zhang felt guilty, as if something was gnawing at his heart little by little.

"Uncle, thank you." Xiao Zhang slowly opened the door and walked out. Shi Zhengjin looked at him and sighed: "I hope this kid won't have any worries in the future because of this, alas." ”

Chizuru's room was next door, Xiao Zhang came to the door, raised his hand to open the door, but hesitated. When he was hesitating, the door suddenly opened, Lan Xin stood at the door and looked at Xiao Zhang, his face was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared: "It's Xiao Zhang, are you okay?" Are you here to see Qianqian, it just so happens that my treatment is over, so please help me take care of her first. ”

"Uh, well, thank you, Aunt Blue Heart."

"Don't be so outside, come in, Qianqian will be very happy."

Lan Xin left, Xiao Zhang took a deep breath and walked in.

"Ah, Xiaoxiao, you're here, are you okay already?" Chizuru, who was lying on the bed, saw Xiao Zhang and immediately wanted to sit up, but he didn't even have the strength to raise his hand.

Xiao Zhang hurriedly walked over: "Okay, don't move, take a good rest." Looking at Qianhe on the bed, Xiao Zhang's guilt felt even more strict.

Chizuru's face was pale, without a trace of blood, and so did his lips. There was a deep exhaustion on his face, as if a person who had been seriously ill for more than ten years, and he no longer had the liveliness he had before.

Xiao Zhang felt that his heart trembled a little, so he sat on the ground next to the bed, with his back to Chizuru, and didn't say anything. Chizuru also remained silent, and a strange atmosphere fell into the room.

"I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry."

The two of them spoke at the same time, Xiao Zhang was stunned, and looked back at Qianhe: "Why do you want to apologize, it's me who wants to apologize, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't be like this, why did you save me?" I knew from what my uncle said that you would probably die, so just let me die, why bother......"

Looking at Xiao Zhang's appearance, Qianhe smiled gently: "If you die, I will die too." ”

"Huh?" Xiao Zhang raised his head and looked at Qianhe in astonishment.

Chizuru looked at him and said slowly, "You know, after seeing your situation, my head was confused at that time. I don't know, if you're so dead, then why am I still alive? Simply, I'll go to you and face it together, as for the result, is it important? ”

"Chizuru, you ......"

"Xiao Zhang, the first day you came, I knew that you were suitable for the Ability Realm. Because you only have hope in your eyes, determination, I don't see anything else, and this is the most fascinating thing about you. I hope you can do the same in the future, and stay strong all the time, and don't have any worries because of this incident. But...... Live well and don't do such a dangerous thing again. You have to remember that if you die, I will die too. ”

Seeing Chizuru's serious expression, Xiao Zhang lowered his head for a while, then turned to leave. At the door, with his hand on the doorknob, Xiao opened his mouth and said, "Chizuru, thank you." Thank you all the time, thank you for taking me in, thank you for helping me, thank you for caring for me, thank you for saving me, thank you for ...... I won't die in the future! I swear here! I'm never going to die! ”

After speaking, Xiao Zhang closed the door and walked out. Chizuru looked at the door, a happy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Thank you at the end, what do you want to say?" Really, I'm still too embarrassed to say that...... Hee-hee, thank you for making me like you. ”
