Chapter 6: Growing Up Overnight
"That person didn't come to you today, did he?"
Lying on the lawn, the newly grown lawn by the creek that has not yet been eaten by livestock is soft.
Listening to the sound of the wind, the boy and the girl who had just become an adult looked at the sky, which should have been a good mood, but the silence was broken by the dark sky. The starry sky was as black as ink, and the moon was lonely behind the dark clouds, as if it couldn't bear to look directly at the miserable state of the world. On such a dark and windy night, I guess everyone will feel depressed, right?
Xing Zeyuan slept for a day, and since the head of the King Mercenary Regiment and the woman left, he slept until night. Xing Zeyuan, who originally came to look for He, had dinner in the sword hall, and then walked unconsciously to the remote river in the breeze.
"No, but I think it's strange what he said, since he knows my last name. ”
"It stands to reason that only our family knows your surname. ”
Hanaxi Ichiro, Tianmei Meijing, and He Nai, even Hui Xuezi didn't know Xing Zeyuan's surname, she always thought that Xing Zeyuan was called Xing Zeyuan. A child doesn't think about it that much, and no one else ever tells anyone about it.
"yes, I wonder too, how did he know?"
Xing Zeyuan believes in Uncle Ichiro and Aunt Meijing, and even more believes in Henai, who is only ten centimeters away from him.
"When I was in school, there was a history textbook dedicated to the history of great families in the past years. Among them, Meng's occupies a large part. ”
He Nai believed in him as Xing Zeyuan believed in himself, they were from the Eastern Regions, and they were in the original intention of kindness, so they had always kept Xing Zeyuan's secret. They are people who have suffered, and they don't want more people to embark on this difficult road again, let alone underage children like Xing Zeyuan!
"Well, the year when the Meng clan appeared was very early, but it disappeared forever in time with the Yanxuan family. ”
Speaking of the Meng family, Xing Zeyuan was like an old man sitting on the Taishi chair on the street, fanning his fan, drinking tea, and talking about the trivial matter of the street food that had risen in money again. In short, it's a kind of indifference to himself, Xing Zeyuan, who has thought he has been discarded since he was a child, doesn't have the slightest good impression of this family, at least, he can't find any reason to care about this family that has disappeared.
"Maybe that person has recognized the wrong person, or maybe it's someone who knows your past. ”
He Nai said very seriously, and her face was smiling, and she would exude a sharp aura.
"Know my past?"
He Nai nodded his head.
"You see, I was the first to see you in Arbor City, and no one else knew you were in that alley, and you only whispered your name after waking up from sleep. So, how is it possible for someone who has never seen you to know your name? only to know your past, to know that you only appeared in this Arbor City five years ago. ”
"How could he possibly know about my past?"
frowned, He Nai was very serious, and Xing Zeyuan was also a little stubborn, which was something he didn't even know.
"That man claims to be a member of the King Mercenary Group, listening to your description, he is nearly one meter eight tall, his blonde hair is thin, and his palms are still tied with starry bandages, this is the leader of the King Mercenary Group - Beichen Xihe!"
"Beichen Xi and ......"
Xing Zeyuan knew this name, this was the name of a great man he had known for a long time.
"He's one of the four heads of the World Government, so it's not hard to know your past, is he? ”
"Possibly!"
He Nai said that Xing Zeyuan's heart was in the heart.
Xing Zeyuan didn't know why he slept for a day, and when he woke up, he just wanted to come to He Nai, and he only told He Nai all the secrets, just like He Nai told her that she had gained some weight recently.
"It's weird!"
I still feel that there is something I can't figure out, Xing Zeyuan doesn't know what he has to do with Meng's family, so Beichen Xi and people like this have found him.
Xing Zeyuan, who sat up, looked at the gurgling stream, and his deep eyes were like the starry sky disappearing overhead.
"The next time I see him, I'll ask him what's going on, it's a little cold outside, let's go back?"
When He Nai came out, she took a women's windbreaker and draped it on her body, so it wasn't particularly cold, but she still nodded.
Xing Zeyuan and He Nai got up, and their originally gentle eyes suddenly turned cold, like calm water that instantly froze after the temperature close to the critical point was infected. He Nai's sword practice has cultivated extraordinary perception, which makes her enough to cut off the petals of cherry blossoms, and also makes her feel the strange aura around her at this time.
With a frown, He Nai instantly became nervous.
"Be careful!"
Protecting Liu Tian behind her, fortunately He Nai was not wearing a nightgown, but a close-fitting running jersey that she usually wore, otherwise she would have been in a mess when faced with this situation.
"What's that?"
Xing Zeyuan looked in the direction where He Nai was looking, and he saw a canine that resembled a dog, like a hunting dog, but it didn't seem to be. In the darkness of the night, they could only see each other's faces.
Slowly, the black fur that blended into the surroundings reflected a shining light like a silver battle armor in the bleak moonlight, and He Nai knew that there was trouble!
"It can't be a beast from somewhere, right?"
"It seems so!"
He Nai grabbed the scabbard under the knife with her left hand, and the cold scabbard brought her a kind of luck. Holding the handle of the knife tightly in his right hand, He Nai was like a willow eyebrow, like a pair of sword eyebrows, and He Nai pulled out a cold light and a knife. At this moment, if old Jack sees it, he will think of the scene ten years ago, ten years ago, Ichiro drew a knife and split the mountain. Today, He Nai drew his knife and looked at the beast in front of him with angry eyes.
The huge beast should be one meter three tall at the shoulder, this beast is not weak, if it stands upright on its hind feet, it is not as tall as it is among the girls.
"Be careful, I can see clearly, this is a black panther among a third-order beast, not a hound, don't act rashly, we can't outrun him. ”
"So what do we do?"
Xing Zeyuan has good grades in all subjects, including species. But now he didn't know what to do other than hold the cold scabbard of Henai with both hands.
"It's too far away from the Sword Pavilion, it's a thousand meters away from the nearest house, if we shout, it will kill us faster, the third-order black panther is not an ordinary beast. We're going to have to beat it!"
Xing Zeyuan's heart trembled, and the speed of his heart soared, but he didn't flinch, he was eager to prove himself, and Xing Zeyuan, who was holding the scabbard in both hands, felt that he also had strength. After all, as long as you have a guy in your hand, it's like a guy doing business.
"Slowly retreat!"
In this special situation, He Nai is much calmer than Xing Zeyuan, after all, she is a warrior, a person who can feel two star clusters, and she is a swordsman of Yamato. In her blood, there is the samurai blood of the great swordsman.
The full pace made He Nai slowly retreat, and the proud girl did not rush forward like a fool now, nor did she rush backwards in a hurry. Because either of the above practices will put them in a dead end.
There is only one human life, and we should cherish life extraordinarily. He Nai and Xing Zeyuan's pace was steady, they were very panicked, but panic and calmness were two different things.
Step by step, their speed was not slow, and they quickly retreated more than a hundred meters. And the panther, with its yellow eyes, looked like two cannons locking onto a person's heart in the night.
The black panther stepped across the stream with the sound of a splash, the body of the black panther was completely shrouded in darkness, and Xing Zeyuan and He Nai could only see the pair of glowing yellow eyes. The panther with its forelegs and shoulders hunched is the embodiment of the night, and the ghostly figure does not make a sound when the flesh under its feet touches the ground.
"It's coming!"
He Nai stepped forward, raised the sword in his hand above his head when it rang out, and then slashed straight down. The broken air made a ghostly sound in the cold light, and the use of the knife was fatal in one blow, and the knife that was slashed from top to bottom fell solemnly in the black pupils of Hena.
"Z!"
He Nai, who can feel the two large star clusters, can't summon the star god yet, but she has surpassed ordinary people in all aspects of her body, and she is taking the route of a warrior.
Lightweight and powerful, these are the main characteristics of Japanese knives. At this moment, on the top of the black panther's head, in the center of the two yellow eyeballs, a scar gushed out of a scarlet blood.
"Let's go, find someone!"
It was only three seconds from the beginning of the knife to the fall of the knife, but it was also these three seconds, and the black panther advanced more than a hundred meters alive.
The speed of the black panther was too fast, but when He Nai slashed his head, the black panther screamed angrily, and the body of a ghost took a few steps back in a row, the forefoot fell to the ground, and the black tail of steel steel curled up, and the black panther turned around and looked at He Nai again.
"Why don't you go?"
"I'm going to defeat it with you. ”
Facing a black panther, Xing Zeyuan's gaze was firm, but it was not a standing person rushing towards him, but a beast that would raise its claws and tear open its chest. Xing Zeyuan is not without fear, but really wants to be with He Nai. In order to protect the girl he likes, the boy sometimes acts like a real man. That hot blood made Xing Zeyuan clench his cold scabbard.
The white scabbard was not warmed by the body temperature on Xing Zeyuan's palm, but made his hand even colder.
"Boom!"
With his feet open, his feet tightened, and a sword blade pierced straight into the panther's glowing yellow eyes.
Throat stinging!
He Nai, who was on the right side, held the handle with both hands, and stabbed with a knife, and the sharp blade shot into the throat of the black panther, which is the death hole of most animals.
Xing Zeyuan stood to the side, his eyes seemed to be looking at a battle-hardened warrior, He Nai's ponytail fluttering, and his black hair caressing his delicate face. Compared with the black panther who opened her bloody mouth, He Nai was a princess holding a sword, turning around, and the knife was level on her chest, stopping at her side under the strength of her palm.
Xing Zeyuan was stunned, and He Nai's palm was slightly painful, but the black panther would not give them a chance to breathe. The attempted panther panther pounced on the third time with dirt in both paws. This time, instead of sticking out its front paws as it had done on the previous two occasions, it spun in the air and flicked its hind legs with its steel tail attached.
This action seems a bit funny, like a cat being thrown into the air, and in order to ensure that it does not get hurt when it lands, the cat must complete the transformation in the air. The panther was not a cat, his tailbone was powerful, and when it turned at this time, it was like a steel whip pinning a knife and throwing it on Henai's right forehead.
"Henai!"
He Nai, who was about to swing the sword, was kicked by the strong hind legs, and He Nai seemed to be hit by a flying stone, and her body's center of gravity was unstable, and she fell down at once.
Xing Zeyuan was furious, he was usually kind and pleasant, he was angry, there was only wordless anger left in his eyes, and after two thousand meters, a man turned his back to this direction, and the light in his eyes and the uneven three-dimensional light ball on his chest was the same color as the fluorescent yellow light in the eyes of the black panther.
The man was 1.96 meters tall, with strong muscles, and the frost-white moonlight faintly shone on the side of his face. This is Liu Yiming, the battle master of the King Mercenary Group, and at the same time, he is also a strong hand hidden.
"The people of the Meng family really have some courage, and they are not easy to provoke when they start a fire. ”
The black panther was beaten hard by Xing Zeyuan, who was holding the scabbard, and each blow was hammered in the head, making the beast that was shouldering to Liu Tian's chest a little unrelieved. But the black panther moved too fast, and the next moment the black panther suddenly raised its head and pounced, and a pair of sharp claws grabbed Xing Zeyuan's shoulder.
The tearing sensation of his muscles made Xing Zeyuan scream, and he couldn't move under the panther's front paws with all his might.
The black panther was high at the shoulders, and his tight body was like steel, and Xing Zeyuan's curled legs curled up forward, kicking randomly for a while, causing the black panther to deviate to the side a few times.
"Bet, attacking this girl should make you feel worse. ”
Liu Yiming's face was pale, and he looked like an ordinary red lotus when he was serious. The panther took a few turns, gasping for a fishy breath, and the next moment, the huge claws pressed on the face of He Nai, who was about to stand up.
"Let her go!"
A burst of electricity enters the brain from the spine, and the so-called brain fever may be that he is very scared, but he should move forward quickly! Picking up the knife, Xing Zeyuan frantically slashed at the black panther in his eyes, like a drunken butcher chopping rotten meat on a chopping board.
The star god of red and cyan light shone brightly, and Ichiro's somewhat fat body ran over quickly, and he carried a wave of qi to pierce the body of the third-order black panther with a black sword.
The cold palm brushed away the messy hair, and the more cold the palm, the hot blood on He Nai's face would feel extremely hot.
Xing Zeyuan didn't seem to feel the pain in his shoulder anymore, he just thought badly, and guilt flooded in his heart.
As a girl, her face is hurt at this time! The feeling of distress makes Xing Zeyuan breathless, and Xing Zeyuan feels that he is about to lose something.
A man's growth is due to experience many gains and losses, and tonight, he is destined to grow up. And fainting was just a prelude to his silence when he woke up.
Turning the Japanese knife in his hand, the black panther's steely body did not bring any resistance to Ichiro's black knife, and the body was easily pierced in the red and blue light. After a few wails, the vicious beast was still roaring before, who would have thought that in just a few seconds, it would lose its vitality, and even a pair of glowing yellow eyes dimmed.
The moon was still hidden in the dark clouds, and Ichiro hurriedly put away his sword and brought He Nai and Xing Zeyuan home with the people who came around him.
