Xiu extinguished the torch in his hand and stalked cautiously in the black poplar forest.

"When walking, you should walk lightly, and when sneaking on flat ground, your heels hit first to reduce the sound of footsteps. If it's climbing, just point it on your toes. If it's going down, lean on your side. ”

Xiu groped his way forward gently, and without the light of the torches, it was really dark.

"People who used torches during stealth are generally dead. In the darkness, how can you be inconspicuous only with a torch, and the attack from the dead will envelop you in an instant. So the fire must be extinguished. ”

The very dim moonlight only allowed the steel branches and leaves of the black poplar to shine on the ground, and Xiu could only rely on that little bit of moonlight to see things clearly.

"For the most part, moonlight is enough for basic illumination. Our bodies are resistant to Honkai, and we are trained to be strengthened by Honkai as well. Therefore, the warriors of Destiny have better physical fitness and good eyesight. The moonlight was enough for us to see the road clearly. Don't be afraid to lose sight of the power of Honkai. At night, their eyes glow red. This light can be clearly seen from a distance of more than a kilometer. ”

Xiu carefully used his hand to remove the branches and leaves in front of him. It felt like I was breaking a tiny wire. As he walked away, he gently held the leaf back to its place, preventing it from making a sound.

It's tedious, but he has to.

"Pay attention to the armor on your body, and don't collide with the black poplar wood. Bumping into this thing is equivalent to iron against iron, and the sound will be very loud. ”

The way he walks is not pretty. His waist was bent as best he could, and his legs were not straight. He now looked like an old farmer bent over by the heavy work of the farm.

"There's no target right now, you just have to pay attention to those points. Once you see your target, push as hard as you can, but don't lie on your stomach. Because you have to participate in the fight at any time, lying on your stomach will prevent you from getting up in time. ”

He pulled out his compass and looked at it.

The green hands had begun to tremble slightly. This means that the source of the Tari Honkai is very close. This is only possible if the pointer is near the source of the Honkai. It's as if the compass would fail at the North and South Poles.

Once you reach the South Pole, all directions are north. And vice versa, to the North Pole all directions are south.

So the closer you get to the source of the Honkai, the more the pointer will tremble. The greater the energy of the Honkai source, the greater the needle flutters. The Knights of Destiny only need to judge whether they can deal with it based on the strength of the pointer's trembling strength.

If the pointer starts to tremble, and there is no collapse in his vision, then it is generally not something that can be solved by one person, and at least a team of ten people is needed.

Xiu hid behind a tree, constantly thinking about the points that Gianna had told him along the way. Keep thinking about it, keep being careful not to make mistakes. His hands trembled slightly, and his eyes looked around uneasily for all the suspicious movements.

But everything is suspicious in his eyes...

Xiu was nervous. This is a real battle, he is not like other knights of the three families of the Mandate of Heaven at all, after ten years of training, countless exercises and simulations, after a controllable Honkai battle, he has a certain strength before facing the real Honkai.

The first time he came to the training camp, he witnessed the 'death' of more than a dozen instructors.

Come to a week and be pulled out to carry out the mission.

He was not systematically trained, and as a child Arthur was trained only for the body and not for the weapon. And he couldn't even withstand the training at that time.

He had no reason to be confident at all, so it was impossible not to be nervous.

Looking at Gianna beside him, he wanted to ask for help from this instructor who came out of the way, he wanted to know what to do now.

When Gianna received Gerald's order, the feeling in her heart was... It's like being secretly released out of the stable.

She was anxious to leave the group, or rather desperate to go, to find the scout.

Because the scout was her friend, very good... No, it should be the best friend.

She was on a very dangerous mission right now, and of course she was anxious about her friend's safety, so she was very anxious.

But she also knew that everything was task-oriented, so no matter how anxious she was, she also went to find Xiu first.

When she saw Xiu, Xiu had already drawn a sword, looking nervous and scared. But he didn't show any expression, he didn't see the meaning of fear, he just looked around very seriously, imagining that he was a scout, and he was investigating the news, but he didn't realize that if he really carried out the scout's mission, he would be discovered from afar.

Now Xiu looks like a restless little sheep, anxious to show his sharp horns to the beasts, telling them that he is not easy to mess with, trying to hide his fear and uneasiness with the two short and blunt horns, but he does not know that his horns are useless in front of real predators.

Seeing such a repair, Gianna didn't know why she was suddenly not so anxious.

Sure enough, it's just a child, so I'm sure I'll be afraid. Gianna sighed, a hint of concern in her eyes.

She crept up behind Xiu and blew softly in his ear like a mischievous one.

The frightened little sheep immediately turned back and swung his sword, and Gianna was already standing far away, smiling evilly at him.

"My name is Gianna. Sent by Chief Gerald to assist you. ”

As soon as Gianna finished speaking, she saw that the corners of Xiu's eyes seemed to have a little bit of crystal traces. She blinked in confusion, but she didn't see it again.

Gianna couldn't help but laugh.

"Instructor, what are you laughing at? How do we do that? Xiu asked puzzled.

Gianna came back to her senses. She's still on a mission.

"You get down, I'll see the situation."

Gianna pressed his head down and poked her head out for a moment. In the distance, a little scarlet stands out in the night.

"We're very close to the source of the Honkai. Note that we are now stealth and not combat. Our mission is to find our scouts and not to destroy these Honkaimon. Never shoot. Once the gun is fired, then the scout is in danger. Gianna leaned closer to Xiu's ear and said in the smallest voice, "I've seen the power of the Honkai, and I can't be sure if it's the Dead or the Honkaimon, but let's not alarm them either." Now let's get around it. Take out your compass. ”

Xiu took out the compass.

"This compass is a special twin compass that resonates with the other compass as long as the two hands coincide. At that time, the compasses of both sides will vibrate slightly. The vibration was not loud, but it was enough to be felt by the body. That's what we're going to do with the scouts. See that little cylinder under the compass and rotate it so that the hands coincide. ”

Xiu fumbled around, and sure enough, he touched a small bulge. He pinched the thing and spun it gently. In the moonlight, he saw the hands turn as his fingers swirled. When the hands coincided, the compass began to vibrate.

"When it shakes, two hands are equal to one, and they point to the location of the other compass at the same time. We just have to go in that direction. Let's go. Gianna nudged Tui Xiu and motioned for him to go.

But Xiu didn't seem to sense it, and didn't move.

"What's the matter, let's go!"

"Sir Gianna... The direction of the pointer is there. Xiu pointed in one direction.

Gianna followed Xiu's finger and looked, and there were dozens of scarlet points of light.

Gianna fell into an ice cave, and a biting cold rose from her feet to the top.

Judging from the height of the point of light... This is a Honkai force that is a mixture of dead soldiers and Honkai beasts!

Although the dead are terrifying, the most powerless thing is the Honkai Beast!

Because until now, there was no way to kill Honkaimon! Destiny doesn't even have a weapon that can pierce the skin of the Honkai Beast! In the face of a monster that can't be killed at all, and seems to have infinite physical strength, how to fight!

"Xiu, turn the compass and see if the compass is broken..."

"I turned... Instructor, they seem to be moving! ”

The scarlet point of light below seemed to have received some stimulus and began to become restless.

Faintly, the silhouette of an extremely unreadable Honkai beast began to knock on its belly, like a beast orangutan that had been tumbling and thrashing.

Gianna suddenly had a terrible guess.

"Impossible, there must be something wrong with the direction, let's transfer... Be careful! Gianna barely managed to squeeze out a smile, but her face turned pale. Before she could say more, Gianna suddenly slammed Xiu under her.

A violent sound of breaking the air flew towards them, and in the violent sound of hitting iron, several black poplars were knocked down hard, making a "ping-pong" collision sound.

It looked as if something had been blasted at it as a siege stone.

Xiu didn't know what was happening, he only felt a softness enveloping him, and a strange fragrance poured into the tip of his nose. He sniffed subconsciously.

He didn't know what it tasted like.

Gianna didn't have the heart to pay attention to Xiu's reaction, she just stared blankly at the pile of fallen black trees now. There seemed to be a puddle of sticky stuff on the dark wood that had been knocked down at first, and it looked like an undigested mess.

She snatched the compass from Xiu's hand before she had time to adjust it like a snatch.

The two needles of the compass pointed at the pile of collapsed black wood, vibrating with life.

When the hands of the twin compass coincide, they will only point to the other compass. The person who carries this compass will never lose or abandon it, because this compass is equal to the second life, and it is also equal to the life of the whole search and rescue team.

The answer is already obvious.

At this time, Xiu, who reacted to what was going on, struggled to stand up, but was pressed down harder by Gianna.

Xiu wanted to say something, but when he saw Gianna, he couldn't say anything.

"Instructor... Are you crying? ”

Gianna subconsciously wiped the corners of her eyes. I started it and felt a piece of wetness. It was like a stimulus, and her tears flowed uncontrollably, dripping onto her armor, dripping into her thighs, and finally sliding to the ground.

Her hand gripped the compass tightly.

Tightly.

Tightly.

"Collapse!" Finally, the compass could not withstand the force and broke in her hands.

She threw the compass away like a frenzy, and suddenly wanted to stand up.

But she didn't fully stand up after all, but halfway through, she forced herself to the ground again.

She knew the scout. It's familiar, it's familiar. They used to be the best scout group, and together they performed mission after mission perfectly, and they never separated.

They once said that they would be together forever.

They have all agreed, and they have all sworn in the name of God! I swore it!

"Why do you break your oath... Why... You said you would wait for me... Okay, I'll be back soon after the report!

"If you're not sure you're alive, let me stay!" Gianna gritted her teeth tightly and squeezed the words out between her teeth. Great sadness gripped her.

Her heart was full of grief, and she was so painful. But... She can't even vent now.

She couldn't cry out loud, she couldn't yell hysterically. She could only silently press down on the recruits below her, watching with tears as her former best friend lay on the dark wood with his body lying intact, while praying to what was left in the hope that she would not be discovered. She clearly knows that she does not have the right and time to cry and grieve like ordinary people.

How sad it is.

"Instructor..."Xiu didn't know what happened to Gianna suddenly.

"Xiu, don't speak, don't speak, and don't stand up.... We're going to die... I'm going to die," Gianna hugged Xiu tightly. She hugged her very tightly, as if she was afraid that she would disappear as soon as she let go.
