The arrival of night brought silence to the oasis again. The moon peeked out of a large gray cloud shadow, stinging with a shimmer, and a shallow shadow of the silver moonlight floated on the surface of the river.

The rare sight of fireflies whirling around the grassy sand, and two frogs croaking on rocks in the shallow water, are as beautiful as a musical dance party in the evening.

……

When the colt woke up, I don't know how much time had passed. He soaked, soaking through the river, spat out his head and slumped toward the shallow water. In the end, due to physical exhaustion, he lay down on the shallow water.

"Titicaca, Titicaca......"

The mountain foal breathed heavily, and his mouth couldn't stop spitting out the river water that had poured into it. His eyes were wide open, his mind blank, and he looked at the blue night sky without stars.

"Whew...... ...... he breathed evenly and shortly, as if he had been wronged by something.

"Brother."

Yamako's mind suddenly conjured up the shadow of Shan Hao, and he was seen sitting on a large rock with his legs on his legs, and he was grinning with berries in his mouth. When Shan Hao raised his gaze to look at him-

Shan Hao's shadow became blurred, and finally disappeared directly from the air in a turbid manner......

"Shan Hao!" The mountain foal jerked up from the ear-deep, flat-lying river, and a splash of water rippled back and forth like panic and sting.

He stared at his legs with hollow eyes, and suddenly felt the icy temperature of the river.

The two frogs lying on the rocks stopped croaking, and they jumped into the water. After a pop, they dived underwater, leaving only a faint ripple that they had just stirred up on the surface of the water.

The mountain colt looked up, his eyes staring at the quiet river. Then he quickly got up with a thud, and strode back with a wet body.

"Shan Hao! Shan Hao! Where are you? He cried out in despair.

The mountain colt stumbled all the way, he didn't know how many times he fell, and his clothes were covered with heavy sand and dust.

He stood up and ran very quickly to the familiar intersection; Look around the edge of the oasis; Finally, they returned to the cave they were familiar with and where they had lived, but found nothing.

The sand scorpion organization is also long gone.

The road was whistling with pale yellow dust, and it came and went gently, leaving no trace on the ground.

Click, click.

The mountain colt walked in despair, and he slid down the wall of the cave entrance. Leaning his back against the wall but sitting weakly, leaning his body to one side.

Finally, Yamakoma burst into tears of grief, and he could no longer hide the pain in his heart and began to accept this fact.

The sound of howling and crying echoed in the oasis for a long time, but he was the only one who remained on the land.

"Shan Hao! Where are you? Don't scare me, woo-woo-woo......" Yamakoh leaned back with his hands over his haggard face and wept bitterly.

The shadow of the only relative gradually faded away from Yamakoma's mind, and suddenly it was vague and nowhere to be found.

He blames himself for it, but what's the use of blaming himself like that?

He looked up at the blue night sky without the stars, and vowed that instead of sitting and sobbing in place, he might as well get up and keep running, keep searching—there would be no pie in the sky.

Shan Hao, it must be somewhere not far away.

"Shan Hao, I won't let you have anything to do. No! "The foal ran like a gust of wind. This is a gust of wind that walks in all colors and fields; Stranded, watched, the wind on the desert oasis.

Now, the wind is blowing. He ran forward, relentlessly in search of hope.

……

After running for a long time.

On the main road, a giant infected person nearly 4 meters tall suddenly appeared. Its burly and blackened body, and its face, with no facial features, looked terrifying. In his hand, he also held a bloody giant iron axe.

It probably came out of the sandstone city, and it is unknown why it wandered onto the main road. He just knew that this time, he could no longer hold back.

If you retreat again, it will really become the cowardice that Yanxi reprimands.

"I'm not a coward, and I'm not a coward!" The mountain colt trembled with anger, and his eyes lit up with anger, and he strode towards the desert butcher.

Is this a challenge that puts your life at risk?

The foal walks, and the pace is getting faster and faster. Looking at the terrifying, incomparably powerful desert butcher in front of him, he was snorting the cold and judging with his ears.

"I, I'm going to defeat you, I can't take another step back...... You know why? ”

Yamakoma questioned the desert butcher in front of him, who couldn't understand human speech, and his eyes became more determined.

"Because of me, I'm fighting to protect the people I want to protect! Yes! ”

Yamakoma said these bloody cruel words, and he hurried forward in anger, and slammed the steel against the hedron towards the energy elbow with all his might.

Scold! (Morph sound)

As he ran, the mountain colt was swirled by the light that burst out of the brown energy of the giant spoke, and quickly formed a transparent outer outline of the battle armor from his body......

Bang-bell-bell-bell-

“Transfiguration-GangDi-soldier.”

"Ahh An orange glow flashed between the face of the mountain horse's armor. He leaped to his feet, narrowly dodging the Desert Butcher's axe-wielding attack.

Whoosh - The great axe slashed sideways, and a very thin olive tree on the side of the road was unfortunately destroyed, and the trunk was broken with a clatter, and fell sideways to the other side of the road.

The pony flew and kicked the desert butcher in the face with a loud thud. Then he flipped back and jumped backwards with his feet in the air.

He retreated to the side of the road, the ruins of a few bare, leaky houses with only loess walls.

When the Desert Butcher waved one hand in his face, the foal had already run into the ruins. It ran after it angrily and quickly, and used its massive body to smash through layers of dirt walls.

Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!

The foal twists and turns around as if it were twisting and turning, clumsily dodging the large clods of earth that have been knocked away from the walls in a thrilling escape.

As for tactics - Yamakoma has never used tactics in battle, only knows how to use his extremely hard armor to resist.

Turning around, the pony swooped out from behind a wall. He jumped up with his feet on the wall, and slammed a quick punch into the back of the Desert Butcher's frenzy.

"Hah!" - Boom!

The heavy force of the blow forced the Desert Butcher to fall forward, and it lay on its stomach, but at the moment when it was about to fall to the ground and crash into a wall, it quickly supported it with its axe.

The Desert Butcher's reaction speed is much faster than that of the Pony. It also turned around and jerked ...... with its shoulders
