Chapter 26: The Wolf and the Demon
"No, I won't believe it, I must go to the Sun Cult! This is what they owe me, I want to go home!"
The stick in Sukawa's hand fell to the ground in fright, and he didn't believe it came from the mouth of the weak-looking man in front of him.
The whites of Chen Xi's eyes turned blood-red, and the corners of his mouth looked hideous like the rare hunters on the Ryk River, although they were not even as big as Milos, but their madness often frightened solo travelers.
Looking at this expression of human limits, Sukawa actually had a trace of fear for this man who was not a mercenary, different from the awe of Ruiz, who was a person who could kill himself at will but couldn't do it, but the former seemed to be a demon who chose to devour people, he may not be able to beat you, but he can definitely kill you!
"I'm going home!hahaha! Don't talk nonsense with you, when the sun rises tomorrow, I'll go back with the sun!hahaha!"
Chen Xi no longer paid attention to the smell of meat coming from the iron frame, and put the fabric that had just been laid down again, not even folded it as before, and put on his backpack, he seemed to be a mentally ill person who had been stimulated, more like a lone wolf who had been driven out of the wolf pack and saw a lone antelope, hideously twisted, and chose to move forward in the night!
"Hahaha!
However, before Chen Xi stepped on the sand dune, a light flashed, and Chen Xi was imprisoned in place, unable to move!
The blue magic array shimmered, sourced from Ryze's raised finger.
At this time, his body couldn't move, Chen Xi tried his best to do it, the green tendons on his neck burst out, and his eyes turned to a limit that the human body could barely reach, staring at Ruiz with terrifying eyes.
"Go, stun him!"
Ruiz was already immune to this look, and he said to Sukawa.
"Ahh
Looking at Chen Xi, whose eyes were more distorted at an angle, who made a clicking sound on his neck, and who had a trace of movement in the Ruiz Circle, Sukawa was a little scared! Even more scared than facing the hordes of Shakhar! Shakhar may be a killer in the desert, and this person in front of him looks more like the Grim Reaper!
"Go!"
Ruiz was faint again, but there was a hint of surprise in his voice, because Chen Xi really moved in his magic circle, albeit only a little!
However, with the slight flicker of the purple runes on Ruiz's body, this struggle was completely suppressed again!
Sukawa, who was jumped by Chen Xi, was once again ordered by Ruiz, and these two people are more than human beings!
In the end, Sukawa chose to listen to Ryze, after all, the latter seemed to be more powerful!
Creeping forward, Sukawa, a retired third-class mercenary, was holding a wooden stick in his hand, he aimed at the back of Chen Xi's neck, dodged Chen Xi's eyes, and hit it with a stick!
Chen Xi fell to the ground in response, his backpack was not tied tightly because he was in a hurry, the dried meat inside was scattered all over the ground, and a map marked with Giant God Peak also fell out.
Following Ruiz's instructions, Sukawa moved Chen Xi into a tent, looking at Chen Xi's face covered with sand because of the front fall, thinking about his previous eyes, Sukawa shivered and did not help Chen Xi clean up.
Back next to the campfire, Ruiz had picked up a large piece of meat and nibbled on it, ignoring the slightest scorching on it.
"Mr. Mage, you give me another tent tonight, I don't want to sleep next to his tent!
In order to comfort his frightened soul, Sukawa chose to take a big bite and stuff the meat into his mouth, and at the same time, he secretly made up his mind to find a better job when he returned, and not to be a mercenary or a guide!
"Hmm!"
A little light flashed, and a new tent appeared.
"He's not from Ionia, after all, it's not without a chance to walk back from land!
After nibbling on two large bites of meat, Sukawa said puzzled.
"No, it should be farther away! Perhaps, it's not just the distance that keeps him from going home!"
Ruiz said lightly, but Sukawa didn't understand what it meant, and he didn't ask, the less you know, the longer you live!
The crackling of the burning wood faded as Reze and Sukawa slipped into their tents, and the stars faded overnight, and the sun poured through the cracks in the dunes on several tents.
Ruiz was the first to be awake, or he didn't sleep at all, he spent the night in meditation, and at the same time, he was also thinking about where Chen Xi might have come from, or what era he had!
Gradually, he guessed that a hundred years ago, a sky-high dawn broke through the starry sky, at that time, it was the time when the goddess of dawn fell, and Ruiz did not get more information from the goddess of the bright moon, and Ruiz, who once thought that the goddess of the bright moon killed the goddess of the dawn, has now changed some ideas, this matter is far more complicated than he imagined!
Without letting Ruiz think for too long, Chen Xi walked out of the tent in the light of day, before yesterday, he was still full of hope for the dawn, but today, his heart was full of dust of despair!
Last night's blood-red eyes left him with the sequelae of meaning, and the bloodshot in the whites of his eyes seemed to be unable to dissipate for a long time.
With his hair scattered, Chen Xi put on his backpack and didn't say any hello, his steps were firm, and he walked away with the place where the sun rose.
"When I'm done exploring the ruins, I'll take you to the Giant God Peak, and I'll figure it all out!
Ruiz's voice sounded behind him, Chen Xi's footsteps stopped, he didn't speak, just glanced at Ruiz twice, then put down his backpack, took out the kettle from it, took two gulps, and chewed a piece of salted jerky vigorously, as if chewing some kind of hateful bone!
The voice of the words woke up Sukawa, he didn't sleep well last night, in the dream, Chen Xi really turned into a wolf who chose people to devour, and Ruiz was a demon who came and destroyed everything!
The situation in the dream made him in a trance, and when he saw Chen Xi sitting outside the door, he took a step backwards and almost fell to the ground!
Sukawa's panic did not affect Chen Xi in the slightest, and he still chewed the jerky with all his strength while waiting for his departure.
The pale blue light on Ryze's hand flickered, and the three tents disappeared, and the iron shelves above the fire were also put away, and the only seasoning on the side, a packet of loose salt.
Putting these away, Ruiz looked at Chen Xi, but did not get a clear response, the latter just stood up, swallowed the last piece of jerky fiercely, and walked up first.
"Sukawa, let's go!"
