Chapter 17 The Heroic Soul Returns to Heaven, and the Underworld Wanders Homesick

Worms were littered with corpses, and the dark red color turned the surrounding patches of sand into a sticky solid.

In the only area that has been cleared out of the corpse, mercenaries are bandaging each other, wrapping the dark yellow cloth they carry around their hands and applying a dark green slime that is more advanced than the black ointment to the wounds, but this ointment has a more powerful smell than the black ointment!

This made Chen Xi wonder if Shurima or the entire Rune Continent's ointment was measured by the degree of smell!

However, fortunately, under the cover of the cloth, Chen Xi was not affected too much, and fortunately, behind the boss Sivir, Chen Xi did not have any abnormalities except for the dark red blood belonging to insects on his body!

"Treat each other! Half an hour later, let's continue our journey!"

Sivir was not injured, she was burying three corpses in the sand at this time, these are the three martyrs who died in this battle, one of them gave Du Xin a glimpse of the spirit of a mercenary, in the last madness of Milos, a group of bugs broke through a gap, it was he who blocked it with his body, thinking that it was the source of dozens of hideous wounds on his body.

With a knife drawn from his thigh, Sivir walked up to the three corpses, cut off a strand of fabric from their chests, and then pushed them into the freshly dug bunker, taking three stones from their jacket pockets and putting them in their mouths.

"What is this for?"

"The heroic soul returns to heaven, and the underworld is homesick!"

Xavier replied with two words that Chen Xi didn't understand, and regardless of Chen Xi's doubts that he didn't succeed in solving, he slowly pushed the surrounding sand into the sand pit with a broad-bladed knife, so that the sand gradually buried the three of them, and the only trace was estimated to disappear in the next wind and sand, and it would disappear even before the wind and sand!

At this time, Chen Xi finally understood why no one went up to search for all the dried corpses he encountered along the way, but what was also puzzling was that no one went up to rebury them.

Of course, this is not the time for Chen Xi to go up and ask about this unique custom.

Following Sivir, Chen Xi slowly returned to the top of the sand dunes, the maroon sand gradually dried up and became loose again, and the mercenaries had already bandaged them, and the three Skalash did not have their hands on them, and they were not even frightened because of the reason for lowering their heads.

"Harlan, Savage, Lerch, you three, go up!"

This time, Sivir did not sit on Scarash's back, Chen Xi also knew the severity and did not sit on it rashly, and Sivir called the three seriously injured mercenaries up.

"Saduk!"

Scarash got up slowly, they didn't suspect the insects and corpses all around them, and the team moved slowly, and Slash slowly followed.

"The wind and sand will cover all our tracks after a day, but at any time during the day, we may be caught up by the Shakhar!

Sivir walked slowly, shouting to the surroundings, the experienced mercenaries did not need to be reminded by Sivir, they no longer played and laughed, but looked at everything around them with the eyes of desert vultures!

In the desert, the footprints were once again covered by the sand, and the scorching sun and star marks alternated.

In the starlight, the mercenaries found a sand dune slope with their backs to the wind, and a bonfire was raised in the hollow, surrounded by the three-headed Skarash on the edge, and the cold desert had a hint of warmth.

"Come on, come on, I've got wine here!

"What? The treasure you found in the aristocratic quarter? Who drew the atlas of Valoran women!"

"Ah, I'll see!

"Alas, who will play Cross chess! Form a team and only play copper coins!"

“......”

As if forgetting the pain and the death of his companion, the mercenaries around him became lively again, which made Chen Xi realize that in the afternoon, it was not sadness that silenced them, but vigilance that silenced them!

It was only at this time that Chen Xi clearly felt the cold of this desert, the cold that the wind raging in the air could not reach!

"Why? I don't understand!"

In the midst of the commotion, Sivir sat next to Chen Xi with a pot of spirits, and she poured a sip of the liquor with her back against Scarlash's fluffy fur.

“......”

Chen Xi didn't speak, he really didn't understand, is the meaning of life really so shallow?

In the afternoon, he saw with his own eyes that someone was blocking death with his body for the safety of others, while the latter was gambling and talking about women with the lives of others in exchange for their lives!

"Do you know where my legendary name came from?"

Sivir seemed to understand Chen Xi's thoughts, and she asked.

"I don't know!"

Chen Xi was a little angry, but he still had to rely on the team to move forward, so he didn't have a seizure, but his tone was a little cold.

"Angry?"

Sivir glanced at the young man beside him and turned his head again.

"I have lived in this desert for 12 years, and in 12 years, I have experienced too many lives and deaths! Do you know, among these people, they have followed me the longest, eight years, and the shortest, half a year!"

"In this desert, some people will always be buried, and we will always be buried by the desert! No mercenary can get out of the desert alive in the end!"

Drinking the remnants of the liquor, Sivir tossed the small kettle aside, and simply lay down on Scarash's body, his eyes narrowed.

"I have thirteen scars on my body, three from the beasts that are everywhere in the desert, six from the Shakars, two from the Saenz people, and two from other sand thieves!"

"These sand thieves, every man, every knife, every arrow, all wanted my life! And I survived every time! I was the closest I came to death, the bones of my descendants were cut out, but I still survived!"

"From that time, I knew that this desert would never spare anyone!

Like a dream, Sivir kept saying to Chen Xi.

"But they are all living beings! Why is the death of a life so ...... So insignificant? Every life is ......."

"Every life is sinful!"

Just when Chen Xi loudly refuted Xiwei, Xiwei interrupted Chen Xi loudly as if he had woken up from wine, and the noise in the distance was stagnant, and it continued one after another.

"Every life is sinful! It is not worth remembering or grieving!"

Sivir opened her eyes, her eyes full of sadness, but not for the life that had been lost before, as if it were for herself, as if it were for the desert, as if it were for the world.
