Volume 2 Frontier Chapter 3 Retention

On this forest path surrounded by trees, Jiayue finally let go of her guard and chose to believe Mu Chen, the atmosphere between the two became more and more soothing, and the content of the conversation became casual.

"You've really turned all the mountains here, how long will it take?"

"The border is staggered with mountains, stretching for hundreds of kilometers, and I just turned around the area near the boundary map department, and the mountain roads inside are intricate, and sometimes it takes more than ten days to find the exit once you enter. ”

"Then have you tried to climb over, what level are the demonic beasts above, are they amazing?"

"I've tried, there are all levels of Warcraft, but it's all barren layers, I climbed three mountains at most at a time, and finally I couldn't bear it anymore and gave up. ”

"It's all barren layers, are there other levels?" Jia Yue didn't know about the demonic beasts of the human continent, thinking that they were all like wastelands.

"I forgot to tell you that the demonic beasts of the Human Continent are much weaker than those of the Wasteland. Mu Chen explained to her the difference between the Human Continent and the Wasteland, and told her in detail about the different layers of the Demonic Beasts.

"I see, since the wasteland mountain range is not like the legend that can't be climbed, why don't you find a place far away from the boundary map to climb the mountains directly, but force your way through the front?"

"Although the demonic beasts on the mountain are no different from the wasteland, but the resurrection speed is extremely fast, I basically ran all the way to kill, after reaching the top of the mountain, the harsh natural environment is really unbearable, the storm and snow, I can't open my eyes, it's too cold. Mu Chen shuddered as he spoke, remembering the scene back then, and his body involuntarily followed the reaction.

"I grew up in the wilderness, and I never saw snow, but I heard that it was white and very pure. Contrary to Mu Chen, Jia Yue's expression instead showed the beauty of the snow scene in her mind.

"Alas... I really haven't seen the cruelty of heavy snow, and when I find Chunyue, I will take you two to the snow-capped mountains of the Human Continent to see, what you imagine now, it is estimated that it is what it looks like there. ”

"I'll go back when I find Chunyue, I'm a wastelander, and I can't live freely in the mainland. ”

"Chunyue just didn't want to stay in the wasteland before she came out, do you think she can go with you?

"This is our sister's business, you don't have to worry about it, you just have to lead the way. ”

"Why is this in a hurry, lead the way, lead the way, bring you to the top of the mountain, let you feel what it means to be icy and snowy, and promise that you will never want to see snow again in your life. As if he was afraid of being beaten, Mu Chen took a few quick steps.

"You... You—" Jia Yue's face flushed angrily.

The two of them joked with each other, talking and laughing along the way, no longer embarrassed, and inadvertently the end of the path appeared in front of them, the sun was dazzling and bright, and they finally reached the side of the human continent.

"I'm finally back, and it's the human continent down the mountain, hahahaha. Mu Chen couldn't hide the joy in his heart, looking at Jiayue's non-stop smirk.

"So happy, don't laugh, let's go down the mountain. Infected by Mu Chen, Jiayue was also happy and looked at him with a smile.

"Do you know, I want to find Chunyue now, and then take you two to the border black market to have a good meal, I haven't eaten food cooked by humans for three years, your wasteland things are too unpalatable, I don't know how you endure it?"

"Food, just fill your stomach, what's the difference, I just know that your wine seems delicious. ”

"Heh, this is... I didn't expect you, the first female summoner of the Wasteland, to treat wine as the most delicious food, and even the wasteland that doesn't produce alcohol can make you addicted, it seems that this wine is really the greatest invention in this world. Mu Chen teased Jiayue again, as long as he had the opportunity, he always teased her.

"What are you talking about, what kind of addiction, I just heard that the Boundary Map Department and the Bakin Department both spend a lot of money to buy wine from the Human Continent, I think it must be a delicacy. Jia Yue only knew that wine was a very expensive drink, and she didn't understand what Mu Chen meant.

"I haven't drunk it, that's easy to do, when I get to the black market, I'll let you drink enough at a time." ”

"Why do you always say that the black market, isn't the most famous place in your human continent Infinite City?"

"The border area is the most prosperous there, and there are a lot of wasteland people, so we'd better settle there before we have a plan for the next step. ”

"Why do you have to plan when you go back to your hometown?"

"It's a plan for the two of you, the border is a buffer zone, no one manages it, the entry and exit of the wastelanders is not strictly restricted, but further inside it will be controlled by the royal family, except for the merchant group of the Bakin Ministry, no other wastelanders are allowed to enter. ”

"I didn't say where I was going with you? ”

"Alright, alright, First Female Summoner. I wondered, you and Chunyue are obviously sisters, why are you so poor in temperament. ”

"I... I'll kill you, Skeletron..."

"Stop... Stop... Stop. Mu Chen hurriedly covered her mouth and hurriedly apologized: "Just kidding, just kidding, don't summon the Skeleton King, it's hard to catch it, and then ask me to kill it, the gain outweighs the loss, haha." After saying that, he let go of his hand and ran, Jiayue picked up the stone on the ground and threw it over.

Because of Chunyue's relationship, Mu Chen didn't treat Jiayue as a stranger, although she was a little cold, but he always found an opportunity to deliberately provoke her, making her lose her mind and become angry, and every time she was angry, she had a slightly single expression, such a contrast made him feel funny and happy.

Jiayue watched Mu Chen's back getting farther and farther away and hurriedly chased after him, they had been coming out of the forest path for a while, she had carefully observed these intricate mountain roads, if she didn't have his guidance, she would definitely get lost, and she would be angry, but she still had to follow him closely.

"Don't run, we'll be separated in a moment. Jiayue shouted loudly.

Mu Chen stopped in front of him, turned to her, grimaced and laughed.

"I was wrong, let's go down the hill and treat you to a good meal at the black market in the evening." ”

"If you make fun of me again, I'll kill you. Jiayue's eyes widened.

"I've walked most of the way down the mountain, and I'm finally going back to the human continent. ”

"You're so happy to be back, why do you have to stay in the wasteland for three years. ”

"Because I can't win against the King of the Wasteland, everything I've done before is meaningless. ”

"I remember, I asked you before we entered the mountain, have you seen the King of the Wasteland, what does he look like?"

"Anyway, tall and mighty, but too gloomy, how can you be curious about this, most of the wasteland people have little interest in the wasteland king. ”

"Of course I'm curious, although I haven't seen him, but he is our king after all, and the entire wasteland is his, can you not be curious about such an existence?"

"Well, when I went to meet the Human Emperor, one of the important factors was curiosity, but the process and the result were not satisfactory. If you want to see the King of the Wasteland, take you with me when I get back. ”

"Are you going back?" Jia Yue was a little surprised.

"Ah, I'm sure I'll go back, I haven't beaten him yet. ”

"Then why did you come back, even you can't win, it seems that our king is really as powerful as the legend. Jiayue glanced at Mu Chen contemptuously.

"There are so many reasons to come back that I don't want to tell you. Strong, powerful fart, sooner or later defeated at my hands. ”

"Huh. This disdainful laugh ignited Mu Chen like a fuse, and he stood still and looked at Jiayue, "You... You..." for a long time, but he didn't say a complete sentence.

"Hmph, I know it's hard to argue. Katsuki was complacent about her beautiful counterattack.

"Okay, it's a tie. Let's stop attacking each other anymore, and ask you a serious question, are you really going to take Chunyue back?"

"That's what I thought when I came, but according to what you said, she is in order to live a different life, in order to pursue her ideals, I think she should not go with me easily, although I will not force her, but I also want to listen to her own rejection of me. ”

"What if she rejects you, what will you do?

"I guess so, I don't have anything to do here. ”

"If it's just to improve one's natural ability, then the strength of the human continent is naturally weaker than that of the wasteland, but isn't it another challenge to look at a different world and experience a different life?

These words Mu Chen came from the bottom of his heart, Jiayue is the same as him, in order to pursue a stronger self, she has been living alone, one of their sisters has the same goal as him, and one ideal is similar to him, which can't help but make him feel like he is getting along with another self, he uses his own feelings to persuade Jiayue to avoid her from making a regretful choice.

Jiayue suddenly quieted down when she said this, as if she had been poked in the sore spot, and the deep sadness in her heart arose, but at the same time, she was glad that the stranger in front of her would care so much about herself, but in the face of the emotions that had been suppressed for many years, she didn't know how to answer.

"I really want to keep you, if Chunyue refuses to go back with you, you can stay too, in addition to being strong, there are many beautiful things in life. ”

Jiayue clenched her right hand into a fist, struggled for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you." As soon as the words fell, she squeezed out another sentence piecemeal: "Mu Chen, you... You're a good guy. ”

Originally, there was talk and laughter along the way, and the two got along easily and happily, but the sudden few words of sincere dialogue made the atmosphere awkward, Jiayue's cheeks were red and her head was lowered, Mu Chen looked around at a loss, and they didn't even dare to make a basic eye contact with each other, so they had to stay in this frozen air, let it squeeze, and no one resisted.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of rustling in the nearby grass, Jiayue instinctively pulled out a short cane, Mu Chen also looked for the sound, a hedgehog slowly walked out, felt other breath around him, and quickly shrank into a ball and shook in place.

The two of them looked at each other and laughed loudly, and the awkward atmosphere was instantly broken, and the two of them were relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thanks to this hedgehog, it's going to be until we're here. I really shouldn't be blind and sensational, and I don't know how to end it. Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, Mu Chen began to speak poorly again.

"Less nonsense, lead the way. Jiayue was still a little shy, afraid that he would say anything nonsense again, so she hurriedly interrupted him and wanted to leave here quickly.

Seeing that the distance down the mountain was getting shorter and shorter, the scenery below the mountain was becoming clearer and clearer, and there was not much left to meet Chunyue, but they didn't know what happened to Chunyue and the Black Dragon, everything that Mu Chen had planned before was now deviating.
