Chapter 7: Shadow

The bone-chilling coldness made Yu Yiqiang struggle to open his eyes, and he found himself lying on a small piece of shipboard fragments, looking forward, and vaguely he saw a figure. In his vague consciousness www.biquge.info he opened his mouth slightly weakly and asked, "Where am I?" ”

"What do you say, Lord Nordion. You slept peacefully. ”

The cold tone of the answer made him more sober than the sea: "The ...... of the paralyzed chick" The scenes of fighting, falling into the sea, and drowning were clearly imprinted in his mind again in an instant, and after confirming that it was a silver-haired woman with a rigid face in front of him, he was happy at first, but then he reacted, and looked around with the help of the ship's plank, "What about Bai Siling?" Isn't she with you? ”

"I'm not her owner." The silver-haired woman seemed indifferent, and she just pushed the burden around her and continued to swim forward. Since the boat had been shattered when it had fallen into the sea, and the only decent planks she could find, they were pitifully small enough to provide the landlubber with only a little buoyancy, so she had to bear most of the burden.

Yu Yigang wanted to ask the other party to look for Bai Siling, but a fishy sea breeze slapped on his face and woke him up. They were already lost in this pitch-black sea, and they were already unable to protect themselves, so how could he be qualified to ask the silver-haired woman to rescue the missing Bai Siling for him?

Sensing the surprisingly quiet reaction of the man next to her, the silver-haired woman couldn't help but glance at him out of the corner of her eye. Seeing the other party's gloomy appearance, she said in a ghostly manner: "She is your contractor, what is her situation now, as the owner of the covenant, you should be able to feel it." ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Yu Yi reacted, but he didn't rely on the connection between contracts, but opened the hero's attribute panel. On the status bar of Bosling, except for a small amount of HP loss, everything else is normal. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "She's okay now. ”

But then he added, "But what's next?" He left Bai Siling's attribute panel there, then turned to the silver-haired woman and asked, "Chick, do you think we can survive this time?" ”

"Are you dead now?"

"I mean, do you think we, the three of us, will make it back to shore alive?"

Faced with this question, the silver-haired woman still replied without hesitation: "Yes." ”

"So sure? What can you do? Yu Yi, who was lying on the board, couldn't help but ask with a light in his eyes.

However, the woman shook her head: "No." But he soon added, "But with you, it's possible, because you're Nordion." You are ......" said this, but suddenly stopped his voice again, and there was no follow-up.

Seeing that the silver-haired woman who had always liked to contradict suddenly gave herself such trust, Yu Yi felt a little flattered for a while. He actually wanted to tell the other party that if it weren't for her, he might have died a long time ago, not to mention the far, the drowning just now is a good example. Even a savior like her couldn't do anything, so how could he do anything?

But in the end, he dispensed with this useless gossip and said, "You can't help it, so where are you swimming now?" ”

"I don't know, it's just swimming along the water."

Seeing that the silver-haired woman said so frankly, Yu Yi couldn't help but laugh and said, "That's right, maybe you swam like this and swam ashore." But after saying that, he realized that now, as a landlubber lying on the board of the boat, he did not seem to be qualified to say such cool things.

Thinking of this, he consciously closed his mouth. And if even he keeps his mouth shut, then it is even more impossible for anyone to speak at this time, and it is impossible to count on the black dog following him, right?

For two people who are already tired, once they close their mouths, they are less willing to open them again. So the two of them just kept swimming and swimming away without saying a word. But it seems that no matter how much they swim, they still stay where they are. Because no matter how long you swim, there is only the vast sea around.

Until Yu Yi suddenly measured his ears, opened his mouth that had rested for a long time, and asked slightly hoarsely, "Did you hear that?" ”

"What?"

"It's the sound of the fire," he said, holding out his fingers and making a silent gesture to the silverhead, listening more earnestly in the wind, "it's a battle, there's a big battle in that direction!" He pointed in the direction of the headwind, and at the same time, it showed them a way out. A place to fight may not be a good place, but at least there will be a place for them to stay.

"You heard it in the wind?" Naturally, the knowledgeable mage was not too surprised, "It seems that you and your elves get along quite well. "Luckily, the wind was blowing in the same direction as they had been going.

"Hopefully, the source won't be too far away." Although there was a clear direction, Yu Yi knew that before standing on the land, it was not the time for them to be happy.

"But anyway, you should be able to feel at ease with your elves now." The silverhead said.

Yu Yi stretched out his hand to stroke the sea breeze and agreed: "Yes, I hope she can also hear the sound of the wind, and then swim all the way to the shore......" Halfway through speaking, his voice sank, "Can she do it?" ”

The elf girl he took in naturally felt deeply about the gentleness and kindness that he had always had. But even after she picked up the bow and arrow, it still didn't change her weakness in his impression. Maybe it's because of the archer's profession, it seems that all archers need protection.

And now, the weak elf had to face the ocean alone that even he felt a little afraid of. He wasn't sure if she would make it.

"She'll be able to do it." The silver-haired woman beside him seemed to see through his concerns, and replied.

"You know?"

"You just don't know," the silver-haired woman looked back at him, "you don't know how much she wants to go home." I'm sure she won't stop until she sees the ancient woods of the Windtalker's Forest again. ”

Hearing this, Yu Yi was surprised by the silver-haired woman's understanding of Bai Siling, and felt a heartfelt guilt for the elf girl in her heart. I haven't been able to take into account her feelings. It was something he should have thought of a long time ago, from the moment he learned the identity of her elf.

However, even this time, he finally decided to send her back to her hometown, mixed with other purposes. Thinking of this, he prayed even more urgently in his heart that Bai Siling would be safe and sound.

The only thing that could comfort him at this time was what the silver-haired woman had just said. "You're right, as long as there is hope in your heart, you will definitely be able to persevere." He turned his head to look at the silver-haired woman, "Chick, you must have some urgent hope in your heart if you swim so hard, right?" Then why don't you leave me behind and wander by yourself? One less burden, your survival rate will be much higher. ”

The reason why he said this was not that Yu Yi was tired of being tired, but he found that the silver-haired woman's breathing had begun to be a little short, so Yu felt guilty and couldn't help but want to say a fair word for her. As he said, he was now a complete burden. He floated with the help of a small piece of boat board and the silver-haired woman's drag, which didn't help at all, and if he kicked his legs indiscriminately, he would cause trouble for the silver-haired woman, so he just quietly watched the other party work hard all the way.

"Huh? You're right. The silver-haired woman replied as if she had suddenly realized.

Her reaction shocked Yu Yi's heart, and he knew that now once the chick in front of him let go, relying only on the buoyancy of the ship's plank, he would immediately sink into the sea. Therefore, although he wanted to reduce the burden on the other party, he selfishly and humbly prayed that she would never let go.

However, just as he was struggling in his heart, the female mage's next sentence was so shocking that he couldn't speak for a long time:

"But, Nordion. You are my hope. ”

Such a simple sentence, but Yu Yi felt an inexplicable feeling quickly melting in his heart. With a flash of memory in his mind, he seemed to remember something, but he seemed to remember everything. But at some point, he found that when he looked at the back of the silver-haired man, he was full of emotion, not only the sentence just now, but also the feeling that was more like ......

An old friend who has been lost for a long time has been found.

Quietly looking at the silver-haired woman dragging him from behind, he changed his attitude in the past, and suddenly wanted to know what kind of intersection he had with the other party in the past. What kind of intersection can make her so desperate? A mage, who had continuously cast his magic, fell into the sea in extreme weakness, but appeared in time to rescue him, and then swam wordlessly into the distance......

Is it because you are too tired to speak? Yu Yi denied this speculation, and when he thought about it, he realized that this silver-haired woman had only met him for a short time. But it seems that since then, whenever he needs help, she will definitely appear by his side in time, and then, just like now, without half a word of complaint, she will work hard.

The days of meeting are numbered, but in just a few days, he already owes a lot of debt to the other party. And those who realize it later, it is at this time that they realize this. A thousand words, at this time, can only be summed into a thank you in his heart, but he can't say it, so he can only silently watch her work hard to move forward.

"Otherwise, I'll throw away a few pieces of equipment on my body, right?" Eventually, he couldn't help himself and spoke.

The silver-haired woman replied categorically, "Don't underestimate me. I won't allow you to throw anything away for me. ”

After hearing such an answer, Yu Yi only blamed himself for his excessive mouth, which made his guilt increase a lot. Although he did not have physical fatigue, what he needed to endure was mental torment. The only thing that made him feel better was to see Bai Siling's attribute panel, which had always remained normal.

Along the way, the two endured their own different sufferings and floated in the sea. It wasn't until they were a little numb to the sea that they seemed to be hallucinating, and they noticed the flickering fire in front of themβ€”it was an island!

"I'm not dreaming, am I?" Yu Yi asked.

"It's not." The silver-haired woman replied briefly, inaudibly.

"Oh my God! We're really here! We're here! ”

The silver-haired woman, who was still swimming, scolded, "Be honest! "It's not because she thinks he's annoying, it's just that she's afraid that she won't be able to catch him.

A little closer to the shore, touching the muddy ground with your feet. The first time he stood up again, Yu Yi only felt a shaking, and slapped between the muddy water, splashing his face with mud stains, but he couldn't help laughing. He never imagined that one day he would feel incredible because he was standing.

"Hey, chick, we really went ashore, we made it!" He stood up, turned his head and suddenly said with some twists: "That, this time, it's really Xie ......"

As soon as he blurted out a word of thanks, his whole body stiffened as if he was about to be struck by lightning. Under the transformation of joy and sorrow, he couldn't react for a while.

The silver-haired woman finally couldn't restrain her weakness and collapsed on the mudflats, gasping for breath even if the mud and sand slipped into her mouth. And at this time, the waves washed ashore in the rear seemed to carry something. And by the time it got close enough for the female mage to notice it, it was too late, not to mention that she couldn't dodge it at all.

When Yu Yi turned around, the huge tentacle had already firmly entangled the silver-haired woman, and she was quickly rolling towards the sea. He could be sure that it was the tentacle of the stone dwelling beast he had cut off in the previous battle!

He chased after him, but his body, which had not yet regained his adaptation to the ground, swayed from side to side, and finally he could only watch as the silver-haired woman was dragged into the sea. Immediately after, a familiar voice came: "Oh Ou!! ”

The behemoth burst out of the sea, and its body seemed to have burned marks. It flipped over to reveal the mouthparts at the base of its wrist and hand, and slowly opened its mouthparts as it slapped the sea with its tentacles in cheer.

"Don't! Don't don't don't ......" Although Yu Yi, who was lying in the mud and sand, knew that his shouting was useless, he still couldn't help shouting. It wasn't until he saw the severed wrist hand send the silver-haired woman, who was already powerless to struggle, into the mouth of the stone dwelling beast, that he only felt a sudden explosion in his head.

He struggled on the ground with his head covered, and the sudden outburst of emotion in his body made him cry uncontrollably. Finally he shouted a syllable in a throat choked to the point of speech:

"Shadow!"

It was the silver-haired woman's name, she said, to remind him of herself. Now he remembers, but what's the use?

After the roar, his tears came to an abrupt end. Slowly standing up from the mud with his eyes closed, he covered his face with his left hand, and touched the nameless heavy sword behind his back with his right hand.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, which were already bloodshot. He dragged his heavy sword towards the sea monster in front of him:

"Look at what you've done!"

The dark red color of the demon slowly spread from the hilt of the heavy sword......
