Six kilometers from Safe Zone 17, deep in the forest ahead.

It's a very inconspicuous mountain stream.

The stream flows here, and the drop of a small hillside creates a small waterfall.

Beneath the waterfall is a small pool.

To the left of the waterhole is a small stream, which continues to meander to the south.

The scenery here is peaceful, but it's definitely not a place for ordinary people to set foot in.

Because there is a natural water source here, it has reached the standard of tertiary drinking water, so at noon every day, a large number of various animals come here to drink water.

As for the waterhole, it is even more dangerous, because there is a Durbar hunting fish, which reaches 7 meters in length, with sharp teeth, hard scale armor, and powerful fins, which can make it jump out of the water for a short time, and carry out a surprise attack.

Tang Ling saw a snow-melted spotted deer with his own eyes, and when he was drinking water by the stream, he was bitten by a fierce pop-up durbar hunting fish and dragged into the water.

All in all, it's very quiet because of these factors.

Whether it's a Durbar hunting fish, or the occasional mutated beast and king beast to drink water.

In short, it's very, very quiet, and even warriors on a hunting mission wouldn't choose to come to this kind of place.

Accidentally fell into the siege.

Tang Ling took a whole pot of water from the military kettle by the stream, and he longed for the Durbar hunting fish to come and find trouble.

By the way, I cleaned up and boiled a fish soup for Su Xiao to drink.

However, it was quiet and nothing happened.

After taking the water, Tang Ling walked along the creek towards the south for less than five hundred meters before entering the grove by the stream.

It's a grove of trees without any special features.

The tree itself is not very tall, but it has a particularly well-developed and thick root system, and they love to grow by the stream, and a small half of the root system is exposed, and it is intertwined with each other, like a bunch of enthusiastic people dancing together.

In late summer and early autumn, the leaves of the tree turn dark green, light blue, and white, and are reflected in the stream.

Tang Ling didn't have the heart to enjoy any scenery, but walked among the staggered and complex root bushes, until he came to the dancing root tree near the center, and then he suddenly burrowed into the root bushes.

Here, hidden in the root bushes, there is a very small, one-person cavern that slopes downward.

The cave is still intertwined with roots, but bypassing these roots, you will find that in the center of a network of roots, a snow-white, huge mushroom is formed.

This mushroom is called the househouse mushroom, and it is a favorite mushroom among wanderers in the wild.

Because its huge stipe can reach 5 meters in diameter, and there is a crack in the stalk.

Once inside, there is enough space in the hollow stipe to resemble a hut, and it is a hut with soft walls and floors.

In addition, when the mushrooms are at night, they will exude a slight warmth, and it is very comfortable to sleep in them.

In addition, it can always attract a kind of first-class mutant insect called the pot-bellied bright worm, which is not aggressive and loves to eat nectar, to cast a nest here, so this househouse mushroom is equivalent to bringing its own light.

After all, the big-bellied bright insect is very lazy, except for the occasional three or five days a month when it goes out to look for nectar, and usually lies there, exuding a soft, dreamy pale pink glow from its belly.

I don't know how Su Xiao found this househouse mushroom, you must know that the growth of househouse mushrooms has no rules, it always grows in any place you don't expect, and it is the most rare but undesirable kind of big mushroom.

Tang Ling thought about it and got into this house mushroom.

Su Xiao arranged this house of mushrooms quite comfortably, perhaps because he had already prepared to run away, or because he himself often hid here.

Therefore, in this house, there are some simple spliced furniture, such as spliced tatami mats, spliced small sofas and small round tables, and some miscellaneous items are piled up, and a conspicuous rag doll, which is very childlike.

Tang Ling didn't expect Su Xiao to have this hobby, he just stretched the gap between the mushrooms in the house a little bigger, and squatted here to boil hot water.

Tang Ling's heart ached, but Su Xiao's expression was unusually quiet, he had been studying the black box, but Tang Ling had not shown any interest in this box from beginning to end.

The water quickly became hot, Tang Ling added a handful of silver-edged chrysanthemums that he had just collected by the stream, and then poured them into a wooden cup and served them to Su Xiao.

Su Xiao took it and took a sip, the fragrance of the silver-edged chrysanthemum spread in his mouth, and he narrowed his eyes: "Hmm, it's really a nostalgic taste." ”

Tang Ling lowered his head, he didn't have the courage to look at Su Xiao more now.

It's just less than an hour, from the time he carried Su Xiao here to the time he fetched water to boil water for Su Xiao, who was shouting thirsty, it really only took less than an hour, and Su Xiao was already old and sad.

What a tall and sturdy man, but now he is 'dry' and only half of his former weight remains.

The bulging muscles had atrophied, the skin was shriveled and wrinkled, and most of the white hair had turned silver and thinned a lot.

The tall figure is also rickety, and it doesn't look straight.

The face is also old, the wrinkles on the forehead, the fine lines at the corners of the eyes, the original scar that no matter which face it is, has also lost the taste of iron and blood, and the chin that used to glow with blue is now only a few white whiskers.

"Silver-edged chrysanthemum, is a good partner on the journey, drinking a cup of silver-edged chrysanthemum tea, can eliminate fatigue and heat." Su Xiao was holding the tea, really like an old man, he patted the black box on the ground as he spoke, and said to Tang Ling: "Do you know this box?" You don't know from your knowledge, the former owner of that grocery store..."

While listening, Tang Ling pretended to stretch his waist relaxedly, and then interrupted Su Xiao's words: "Uncle, you should tell me the point." ”

"What's the point?" Su Xiao raised his head, then grinned: "I have a lot of important points to tell you, stinky boy sit down for me." ”

How familiar this smile is, no matter how the face changes, the angle of the smile, and the eyes that smile belong to Su Xiao, a special smile.

But Tang Ling wanted to cry, once such a smile was seven points domineering and three points arrogant, but now there is only the vicissitudes of old age.

This is a panic that cannot be stopped, every second is like the torture of cutting meat, who can afford to grow old overnight? And you have to watch, watch, watch, and torture every second.

"Don't talk about anything else yet, let's talk about it, how to stop you in this state, I'll figure it out." Tang Ling endured the sore sore throat and asked very casually.

Just like using this way of questioning, what happened to Su Xiao is no longer a big deal, there must be a way.

No matter what he looks like now, as long as he can stop this rapid aging.

"There is no way. Objects about time are almost always unsolvable. Su Xiao very calmly blew away the silver-edged chrysanthemum floating on the water in the cup, and his tone was very calm.

"Besides, I used two. One is a time-lapse potion, which can briefly restore me to my peak state. The price is overdraft vitality and rapid aging. That's fair. ”

"As for the second one, it is the best berserk potion, and it is also the one that can instantly restore people to their peak state, and it can burst out with power beyond their own state."

"You've started cultivating now, you know, this kind of medicine stimulates cells and invests in cell vitality."

"Two phases superimposed, do you think there is a solution?" Su Xiao took a sip of hot water, raised his eyes to look at Tang Ling, and then slapped his hand heavily on Tang Ling's shoulder, laughing: "I thought I would die soon." After all, I'm forty-eight years old, so overdrawn my vitality, can I still live for ten minutes? ”

"But it turned out that I was able to live a long time. So, it's almost an hour, right? I'm not dead yet. Fortunately, you carried me out, otherwise I would have been lying there for an hour, too special..."Su Xiao was very carefree, and then touched Tang Ling's head: "Otherwise, you will miss this black box." ”

Tang Ling's heart was broken again at this moment.

He hated it.

From mother-in-law, to sister, to Vivian, to Amir, to Su Xiao.... Every time, every time my heart is broken, I don't know how many times I can withstand it?

But life is so cruel that it must be faced in person every time, and there is no room for escape.

So what kind of attitude should you use to face it this time? Is it like the death of my mother-in-law and sister, completely crazy?

Or is it like the moment Vivian died, suppressing the sadness of a volcanic eruption and forcing her composure?

No... It's facing the father, so it's a man's way.

Therefore, Tang Ling raised his head, with the same free and easy smile on his face as Su Xiao, he rummaged through and found a pack of cigarettes from his duffel bag.

The familiar brand, from the black market of Lady Serena, and then lit two, one for him and one for Su Xiao.

"Well, what's so special about this box?" Tang Ling sped up his speech.

Su Xiao glanced at Tang Ling deeply, and then said, "In this world, there is an incomparably chaotic place where there is no unification of forces, called the Dark Harbor. ”

"There is no order, no law, just a systematic way of doing things, and only the transaction is regarded as a sacrosanct thing. Well, such a place can also be called a free port. ”

"What's the point?" Tang Ling took a puff of his cigarette.

"That's the point, this box, from the Dark Harbor. It is one of the three most famous chests in the Dark Harbor - Dolly Dark Chest. Su Xiao said here, a little tired, and gasped a little.

Tang Ling poured water for Su Xiao again: "The Dark Harbor feels like there are a lot of boxes, uncle, do you want to eat?" ”

"If you don't eat it, you don't have enough time." Su Xiao refused very often, and then patted the box and said, "Hehe, the box culture is a characteristic culture of the Dark Harbor. You'll soon understand. ”

"Well, why did I find out so soon?" Tang Ling asked, he stood up and said, "Uncle, soon, I'll catch a fish, let's have a meal together." I saw wine in my backpack. ”

"Because, your next destination is to go to the Dark Harbor. First of all, only there can you hide yourself. Second, you have to find someone who is extremely critical to your later life. ”

"Who?" Tang Ling found a wooden barrel and held it in his hand, he actually didn't have the slightest interest in what he was looking for now.

"Zero. His name is Zero! Su Xiao looked at Tang Ling very seriously, and when he said the name Zero, his eyes revealed the kind of reverence that could only be revealed when talking about Tang Feng.

"Well, I'll go out first. Soon, wait for me. Tang Ling said that he remembered it, and quickly rushed out of the house.

And Su Xiao looked at Tang Ling's back, and didn't stop it, he said so many words, he was a little sleepy, and wanted to squint for a while, people are old, is that?

He was not afraid that time would be too late, and he had long expected that there might be such a day, so he had already prepared in advance.

Thinking of this, he stood up with some difficulty and walked to the corner of this childlike hut.

Here, there is a box with sleek corners and cute flowers carved on all sides.

Su Xiao opened the box and took out two black booklets from it.

He gasped and was very tired, so he took the two black booklets in his arms and fell asleep with his head down, snoring intermittently.

Tang Ling walked out and ran to the stream like the wind, he beat his chest hard, the pain made him very uncomfortable.

But you can't show your sorrow! No, not at all! Because, Su Xiao has always been a man who stands up to the sky and is extremely free and easy.

The same is true in the matter of life and death, he does not like someone to say goodbye to him in this way in the last moments of his life.

Say goodbye? Never! Tang Ling caught a fish in a trance, and then returned to the house with a bucket full of water.

He went from catching fish to fetching water to going back and forth, but it took less than five minutes.

When he came back, he saw Su Xiao leaning on the edge of a box motionless, and his heart immediately tightened.

He rushed over, almost trembling and put his hand on Su Xiao's nose, and put his other hand on Su Xiao's heart.

It's okay, it's okay, it's okay! Tang Ling lowered his head and forcibly held back the trembling, so that he would not shed tears, not a single tear.

"Stinky boy, what are you doing? Do you think I'm dead? At this time, Su Xiao suddenly woke up, and the old man's sleep was very light.

"No, I just wanted to wake you up, your snoring is scary." Tang Ling smiled with a disgusted expression.

"Uncle, go sleep over there. I cook, very quickly. As Tang Ling spoke, he easily picked up Su Xiao and put him on the tatami mat.

Su Xiao hummed twice, and did not object, he was indeed very tired.

Has it only been an hour? In just one hour, Su Xiao's feeling of being carried on his back was already a third lighter.

Tang Ling's precision instinct was constantly running, and he was calculating how much time there was left, and Su Xiao would completely consume the remaining life force.

Is time irreversible and inexplicable? No, if that's the case, he has to save time!
