Vol. 3 Adventures in the Neutral Zone Chapter 18: Who Are You (2)

"So upright?" Han Shihao walked in his mind the image of the fat uncle staring at the food and swallowing saliva as soon as he entered the door, feeling that he couldn't match the number.

"But you say he's an ordinary person. Han Shihao suddenly remembered something, "How could an ordinary person beat an elemental master?

"Not a single one. Ling Haoyun shook his head, "Those are just members of his expedition group, called the 'Lonely Iron Expedition Group', Uncle Fat is the leader, no elementalist is willing to recognize an ordinary person who is far weaker than himself as the boss." ”

"What happened later?" Han Shihao couldn't help but ask.

"Do you need to ask? With Uncle Fat and me, there are 11 of us here. Don't look at the crowd, there are four elemental divisions on the other side. A few of us were beaten up and thrown out of the restaurant, like abandoned stray dogs. ”

"Oh......" Han Shihao was embarrassed again, sure enough, the world is reasonable, and acting bravely will not improve his strength.

"I don't know why Uncle Fat helped me, but he was beaten so badly that he just laughed a few times, and then dragged me and the brothers to drink. At that time, I was penniless, and he invited me for wine. I asked him why at the wine table, and guess what he said?"

Han Shihao shook his head.

"Lao Tzu is willing. Ling Haoyun learned the tone of the fat uncle and paused word by word.

Han Shihao was silent for a while, then exhaled: "I can now imagine how cool he was at that time. ”

"Uncle Fat is an outlier in the neutral zone, and the people here use each other to intrigue for their own interests. But the fat uncle is different, he has a chivalrous man living here. Ling Haoyun knocked on his heart, "If it weren't for that incident, he might have been a chivalrous man all along." ”

"What about it?"

"Two weeks ago, his expedition was all dead in a treasure hunt, except for him. When he came to me covered in blood, I thought I saw a walking corpse. Ling Haoyun sighed softly, "He only said one word to me at that time, 'Lonely Iron Expedition Group, today's group is destroyed'." At that moment, I suddenly understood that the chivalrous man in his heart was dead. ”

Han Shihao didn't answer again, but was silent for a long time and let out a long sigh.

"When I entrusted him to be the team leader, I could see that he was actually very happy, maybe he missed the time when he was the head of the group, maybe he found the shadow of the old dead members in you. Whatever it is, I want you to trust him completely. Ling Haoyun said, "Don't talk about these words to Uncle Fat, it's his secret." The reason I'm telling you this is because I want to tell you that Uncle Fat is really a person, and I also want you to understand that I am a waste of wood, but my friend is not, even if he is just an ordinary person. ”

This is always unreliable, only observant of words and colors, and even some timid seniors seem to suddenly become majestic when they say this, and their tone has never been more serious.

"We didn't really treat you as a waste wood, senior. Han Shihao smiled, "At least not now." ”

"Oh, don't hold me, it's amazing that the fat uncle is not me, I didn't do anything. Speaking of which, you are still a junior, you are amazing, your chest muscles are so developed at such a young age........." Ling Haoyun, who had not been tall for two minutes, immediately broke his skills, and quickly nodded his head and waisted.

"It's a good story, and a good story has to be accompanied by good wine. Han Shihao raised his glass to Ling Haoyun, "I wish you a bright future, senior." ”

Ling Haoyun also hurriedly raised his glass: "Cheers to your words." ”

The two clinked glasses in the air and drank all the ale in one gulp.

.......

At nightfall, Wang Shun said hello to Ling Haoyun and went into the tent to sleep. The five teenagers and girls in the ghost class were still young, strong, and not sleepy, and they were in the mood to enjoy the night view of the Forest of the End. They looked around in the orange glow of the campfire, the green canopy covered in a silvery white in the clear moonlight. Fireflies, or some unknown glow-in-the-dark insect, flutter through the trees and drooping vines, their tails drawing brilliant lines in the air. The gentle evening breeze blew, causing a crisp sound of the leaves, intertwined with the sound of insects and wind, like a symphony.

Han Shihao and the others told the story of the fat uncle, which was indeed a simple but good story, and everyone listened very seriously, except for Yang Haohui. He always covered his chest from time to time, and his brows were slightly furrowed.

"Isn't it uncomfortable?" the attentive Lan Borou noticed and asked in a low voice.

"It's not. Yang Haohui shook his head, "I can't say." ”

"What's the matter, brother-in-law?" Ye Ruohua also noticed.

"It feels like my heartbeat is a little weird. Yang Haohui thought about how to describe it, "It's not pain, it's like feeling like my heart is going to be sucked away by something, and I didn't feel this way when I was in the market." ”

"Aren't you too tired, cook, you are the one who has been most nervous since the actual combat class. Feng Hao asked.

"Probably. Yang Haohui hammered his heart.

"It's not too early, let's get some rest. Han Shihao proposed.

Everyone seconded the proposal, even if you are not tired, you should still sleep. In a forest where there is a crisis at any time, always maintain a 120% mental state.

"Aren't you sleeping?" everyone walked towards another tent, and Lan Borou turned around to find Yang Haohui still standing in place.

"Didn't the fat uncle say that someone should keep vigil. Yang Haohui said, "I am the fastest, and I can run away if there is an accident." And if everyone is asleep, I can use the light element energy, and I am the most suitable for the night vigil. ”

"Still, I'll come, aren't you uncomfortable, take a rest. Lan Borou was a little worried.

"It's okay, it won't affect the state of the battle, if you really don't feel at ease, just wrap a hair around me, and I'll pull my hair to notify you if something happens." Yang Haohui said, "Don't take off your hat when you and Ye Ruohua are sleeping, just in case." ”

Seeing Yang Haohui say this, Lan Borou didn't insist, a bright blue hair poked out from under the hood and gently wrapped around Yang Haohui's waist, turned around and went into the tent to sleep.

The camp was deserted, except for Yang Haohui and a bonfire, which burned firewood and made a "crackling" sound.

Yang Haohui looked around again, after confirming that there was no danger. Sit on the floor and take out the equipment from the travel ring one by one to reconfirm. The small cloth bag given by Chu Xiao is still there, the realgar is also there, the rope shows no signs of breaking, there is spare food and drinking water, there is also a little fluorite powder from the fat uncle, a bag of unused dragon dung, and he actually brought the Nokia that he has always been very precious....... In fact, there are more or less such things in the ring, no matter how you confirm it, there will be no more than two, Yang Haohui is just very serious, these are all necessary equipment for exploration, as long as it is "necessary", Yang Haohui has always been very serious.

On the one hand, it is to reconfirm that the equipment is in good condition, and on the other hand, it is actually simply boring, and counting the equipment over and over again is pure fun. After all, he has lived alone for six years, and Yang Haohui has always been good at having fun by himself.

The strange feeling grew stronger and stronger, and he hammered his chest with a little more force.

Injured, poisoned, Yang Haohui slowly recalled the past after coming to the Forest of the End, and did not find the cause of this "irregular heartbeat" at all. He also tried to test the wood mode to treat himself, but the situation did not improve at all.

What is this feeling? Yang Haohui covered his heart and slowly felt it....... This feeling of gravitational pulling your heart, as if you are in a hurry to hug someone, this ........ A familiar feeling.

A huge explosion resounded through the sky, and hordes of birds and beasts flew up from the tree cover. Yang Haohui suddenly got up and looked in the direction where the explosion came from, the camp was in a clearing by the stream, there were no trees around, and the view was very open. But even deep in the forest, he could see clearly, and at a great distance from the camp, the flames were as bright as welding torches.

"What's the situation!" Yang Haohui turned his head and saw the fat uncle running this way while yelling, followed by everyone else.

"There was an explosion northwest of the camp for unknown reasons, about 600 meters by visual inspection. Yang Haohui said.

"So far?" the fat uncle's nervous face suddenly relaxed, "Damn, disturb Lao Tzu's good dreams....... That's nothing, go back to sleep!"

"Don't you need to take a look?" Yang Haohui was stunned.

"Look at it! I can't stand Lao Tzu's business! Probably some stupid thing smashed some Yuan Beast Nest, there are many of this kind of melon. The fat uncle yawned and turned back to greet everyone, "Get out, go back!"

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, they all shrugged their shoulders helplessly and went back, and went back to continue sleepwalking Zhou Gong.

It's really a flawless remark, and if it doesn't matter to you, you should hang it high, Yang Haohui thought. But when he looked at the figure of the fat uncle returning to the tent, he still couldn't help but be stunned in his heart. It's not that he didn't listen to the story told by Han Shihao, on that day two weeks ago, maybe the chivalrous man in this person's heart really died, leaving only a fat body.

The explosions were still rolling, louder and louder. Yang Haohui was still sitting in place to keep vigil, obviously far away, and the camp couldn't even feel the wind and waves of the explosion, but for some reason, his heart palpitations were getting stronger and stronger. It seems that there is always a voice in my head telling me to go and see, just go....... You can meet someone important.

After hesitating for more than ten seconds, Yang Haohui still got up. He made sure that his hair was firmly tangled, and after smearing some realgar on his body, he turned and ran to the source of the explosion.

The light streaks lit up, the divine movement was activated, and Yang Haohui walked like a fly in the dense woods. In terms of speed alone, he was the fastest in the ghost class, and the rows of giant trees rapidly recoiled in his field of vision, and the figure shuttled through and left only a faint afterimage in the darkness.

The enigmatic palpitations grew stronger, and he clenched his chest, even scratching deep folds in his clothes. He could already faintly feel the explosion of air.

Who are you? I can feel your presence....... Who are you?

Yang Haohui stepped over the last weeds and lifted the vines hanging in the air. A bright light came to my face, and it was a burning mountain forest. What catches my eye is a very strange scene, a giant monster more than 10 meters tall covered in limestone-colored scale armor, looking like Godzilla, is fighting a girl. The monster's mouth was constantly spewing out fiery pillars of fire, and each breath of the pillar of fire was a violent explosion, and the originally overgrown deep forest had burned a large area of red ground because of this fierce battle.

The girl tossed and turned in the pillar of fire, flashing around the monster at high speed. She was petite, dressed in a crow-like night-walking suit and armed with a slender katana. The wind and waves of the explosion of the pillar of fire lifted her medium-length black hair that covered her ears, and the firelight reflected the girl's face in detail, and her beautiful little face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and the whole person was as cold as a knife.

But apparently the girl's situation is not optimistic, and the area where she can dodge is gradually being eaten away by the flames.

In normal times, Yang Haohui would probably hurriedly run away while complaining in his heart about something like "Wow, beauty vs. beast" or "There is actually Godzilla in the Tianyuan Realm, Ultraman is coming", but he was just stunned at the moment. The sound of the wind, the explosion, the same godzilla-like primordial beast, everything seemed to be blurred in consciousness, still........ Except for the girl.

The originally throbbing heart seemed to have relied on it in an instant, and it was back to beating as usual. He had thought countless times about how they would be reunited, but he never thought it would be so sudden, so unexpected.

Should it be a warm hug?

Or should you say hello as usual?

And what should be the first sentence after the reunion?

Is it to ask her why I came to the Tian Yuan Realm?

Or do you complain that you're tired here?

Or is it just a sentence........ Thank you?

Maybe it's both, he already has too much to say to this girl.

This girl who dares to kidnap herself with a small wooden stick, this girl who agrees with herself without permission, "You give me a place to live, and I will help you find a place", this girl who is strong and loves to cry, this girl who says to herself, "Let's go home", ....... to herself.

The seven-colored light of Ming Rui lit up from Yang Haohui's body, and the light patterns surfaced from his body, and he resolutely stepped forward and rushed into the battlefield. The first thing he thought of when he encountered an accident was to run away, but now his body moved naturally, and he didn't think about it at all.

The girl was also attracted by the sudden light, and she was also stunned at this moment, her cold expression seemed to be frozen in the spring breeze.

They looked at each other. Her eyes were as beautiful as ever, and her gaze was like a tide.

"Brother Yang. The girl smiled sweetly.

It's really strange, obviously I have thought about it so much, and I have been looking forward to it for so long. But I really waited for the first sentence, and a thousand words finally only merged into one sentence-

"Mo Meng, long time no see. ”

——May all the destined people in the world be able to meet again after a long absence

To be continued......
