Deep in the scorching Great African Desert, the ground is hot and hot, and the air is wildly twisted by the heat.

The world here is dead and lifeless.

However, in this field, where no living beings are allowed to enter, a team of people broke in.

From the sky, the team squirmed slowly, leaving behind a jumble of footprints that ruined the beauty of the silent desert.

The ranks were filled with people of all colors, different colors, and different races. The only thing that was the same was the tired, pale cheeks. Their expressions were solemn, and there was a dead air around them. Despite their heavy steps, they kept walking, walking, walking, as if they were going to reach the end of their lives.

The yellow sand is long, and the world is silent.

A "hiss" broke the desperate silence.

Suddenly, the faces of the people in the team were extremely hideous.

"Oh, oh, God, why did the devil follow!"

The big black man at the front of the line screamed.

He was two meters tall, his naked upper body was covered with scars, his large and strong body was like a gable, and under his black skin were explosive muscles, with infinite strength.

However, at this time, he was holding his head in his hands, his body was trembling uncontrollably, his expression was terrifying, and sweat and tears were mixed on his cheeks. He was like a lost child in the night, what a strange scene.

He spoke Esperanto, which everyone present could understand. Esperanto is the official language of the alliance since the Holy War, and basically all continents use Esperanto to communicate, which facilitates the communication of civilizations.

"No...... No, Kevin, you ...... You have to be calm. ”

A white man comforted, but his tone betrayed an irrepressible fear.

The people were as dead as ashes, and they were devastated.

At this moment, the only woman in the group looked up at the sky.

She had bandages on one arm and an empty sleeve on the other.

The sky is very blue, blue like the sea, there are no impurities, and the sky is like a giant screen relief.

At this time, looking at the clear blue sky, her eyes were full of inexplicable brilliance, and the tremor in her heart was slowly suppressed. Regaining some refreshment, she looked down at her helpless teammates and softened her voice as softly as she could: "We know very well why we are here. ”

She paused, calming everyone down.

"Victory, to strive for victory at all costs, no matter how terrible it is, no matter how far and difficult the road is, to strive for victory, because without victory you cannot survive."

Everyone looked at her in amazement.

"But now, we are facing a mortal situation."

Her voice was heavy.

"What we need to do, that's to let death go to God."

"We have been called here with infinite courage to watch over our homeland."

"Forget death, it makes us afraid."

"Rekindle our faith, die with great glory, and then meet together in heaven, this is where we belong."

"Those damn things only deserve hell!"

At this point, her voice was as cold as the Nine Hells.

The woman with the broken arm was bathed in the blazing sun, her expression resolute.

"Ji, to use your Oriental idiom, this is called Daigo empowerment!"

An old man with high cheekbones and gray hair sat on the hot sand, his face calming a little.

"Old Jem, I just don't want to die like this."

The woman with the broken arm spoke.

"Well, you can't be cowardly enough to meet death."

Old Jem said solemnly.

"Hahaha, hahaha."

A burst of laughter came.

The big black man looked up to the sky and roared.

His eyes regained their brilliance and he stared fiery at the scorching sun.

"God, forgive me."

He folded his hands.

"Fear blinded me, but you sent angels to redeem. I will die a glorious death, hear your call in heaven, and accept your canonization! ”

He gave the Oriental woman a thumbs up.

"Everyone, get ready for battle."

At this time, he said hoarsely with a look in his eyes.

"If you live, be sure to bring the news to the Alliance."

Everyone's hearts sank.

Suddenly, a mutation occurred.

A popping sound rang out from the ground, and in an instant dust flew into the sky. A behemoth burst out of the ground, accompanied by a series of high-pitched and piercing screams. The monster is nearly 100 meters long, and under the ugly and hideous black head, it is a bloated crimson body, and the hard scales are covered with sharp bone spurs, which spew outward, making its size appear even larger, and below it is a dense black giant foot, shaking at an extremely high frequency. The surrounding area is surrounded by boundless evil energy, like a monster coming out of the depths of hell.

"Kill!"

With a shout, Old Jem moved, and it was extremely fast.

His body flashed, and three huge fireballs blasted towards the strange insects.

"Quick, I'll cover, you prepare."

"Psychic Skill: Flame Burst Thousand Pillars."

Old Jem shouted hoarsely.

At this time, in the sky above the strange insects, countless pillars of fire fell from the sky, and the air was extremely hot.

The flames were boiling, and the sky was full of fire.

The monster in the center of the flames roared.

Old Jem was surrounded by infinite flames, like a flame king.

"Psychic Skill: Wan Jun Sword Strike."

The big black man pulled out a giant sword out of thin air. He rushed into the layers of flames, pointing his sword at the troll.

For a while, the blades danced wildly, and there was a sonorous sound.

"Psionic Skill: Ninefold Thunderstorm."

A coquettish shout.

The woman with the broken arm circled around and launched a thunderbolt bombardment at the tail of the strange insect.

The members of the team burst out with all their spiritual skills, and the spirit energy in the sky danced wildly.

But the shell of the monster insect in the center of the blow was still shiny and shiny, and there was not the slightest damage. The depths of its scarlet eyes were filled with banter and mockery.

Finally, the spiritual energy was exhausted, and everyone gasped for breath, and the sweat could not stop dripping.

In the middle of the battlefield, it was so dusty that it was impossible to see inside.

…………

"Sss

This voice completely dispelled the remaining hope in the hearts of the players.

Everyone looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Sure enough, the Demon King from the abyss was an existence that was difficult to resist, and in the face of this creature, they didn't even have a chance to escape.

At the last moment of their lives, they faced the sunset side by side, wordlessly, waiting for the final liberation.

The dust and smoke dissipated, and the strange insects shook their dense giant legs and attacked everyone.

It flicked its giant tail and boomed.

Above the desert, flesh and blood flew sideways, and blood spread wantonly.

……

……

……

In the corner of the distant desert, in addition to the eternal gray-yellow, there is a shocking bright red.

However, this is just a common occurrence in unknown corners of the world.

"Brother, I'm leaving."

"Hmm."

"Don't be late for noon."

"Got it, I'm going too."

Chen Kaiyu pushed the cart and walked away, looked back at the pretty girl surrounded by everyone in the distance, and he smiled slightly.

He and Liu Miaoyi are not in the same school, the reason is very simple, the grades of the two are very different.

Chen Kaiyu has had no interest in learning since he was a child, and his grades have always been at the end of the crane.

Originally, he was about to drop out of junior high school, but due to the insistence of the old couple before his death, they bought Chen Kaiyu an admission place in Qingcheng Middle School.

Chen Kaiyu was honorably admitted, but the cost was only known to the old couple.

And Liu Miaoyi, who has a smart brain and excellent academic performance since she was a child, was admitted to the top middle school in the city, Tianfeng Middle School, with her own strength. It is also known as an aristocratic high school, because most of the people who can enter this school are the children of officials and wealthy merchants. Of course, those with particularly excellent grades can also be admitted, such as Liu Miaoyi.

Chen Kaiyu, who is now in his third year of high school, is facing a difficult test of taking the university entrance examination.

He rode boredly, occasionally looking around. Looking back at the magnificent gate, and looking at the people coming and going, they knew at a glance that they were excellent, noble, and charming. In contrast, Chen Kaiyu has long been accustomed to defeat.

This is no boasting.

However, they may not have experienced such pain.

Chen Kaiyu thought silently.

Have I ever had such a glorious time in my life?

yes, maybe a few days.

But even then I had a fine dress, and I am afraid I did not swing around like them.

My feet weren't as strong as theirs.

This is a matter of course.

No matter what you say, they are the children of the nobility of Qingcheng Middle School, which is famous all over the world! And what is he?

At this time, there was a commotion at the school gate.

Chen Kaiyu looked back and saw a black Huawei sedan parked at the door, the door was slowly pushed open, and a young woman got down elegantly.

She is wearing a black dress, tall and slender, her long hair is casually draped, her apricot eyes are cold to the bone, and she exudes a cold temperament on this incomparably beautiful and moving face.

This cold woman has snow-shrouded skin, a high nose bridge showing sharp lines, and slightly pursed thin lips that seem to reveal a taste of unkindness.

She is the Shepherd Concubine, one of the recognized school flowers of Qingcheng Middle School, and has the title of the goddess of ice and snow. This school has countless men who are crazy about pursuing her, and of course, all of them are unsuccessful. She was born with an indifferent face, and she does not mince words about anyone, and she is rumored to have a mysterious background.

The girl stood quietly, straight and elegant, and her natural temperament and stunning appearance made countless people crazy.

After looking at it for a while, Chen Kaiyu turned around and left.

It is undeniable that he is passionate about beautiful things, but this kind of thing is too far away for him......

Besides, such a cold woman, he looked panicked......

When he came to the noisy classroom, Chen Kaiyu sat in a daze, bored.

At this time, a sturdy young man in the back touched Chen Kaiyu.

Chen Kaiyu turned his head and said, "What's the matter, Chengzi." ”

This sturdy young man is called Yuan Cheng, and he is Chen Kaiyu's best friend.

The two of them are very similar in terms of learning, and they are both particularly difficult households. But in terms of personality, it is more similar, and it can be summed up in four words: treacherous and cunning, absolutely right.

As a result, the two people who "smell like" joined hands to start a vigorous teenage life.

Both of them think that they are young prodigies and people with little ambitions, and they are destined to be extraordinary in the future.

So, with such a belief, the two grew up from childhood to adulthood, and they even broke out of the famous reputation of the "mixed world duo" in Qingcheng Middle School.

Sneeze

Sneeze

The two touched their noses at the same time and looked at the sky outside the window, and it was still blue.

We are outstanding young people who love the motherland, who scolds us?

"Hey, Yuzi, have you heard, the Earth Alliance has decided to destroy the thermal weapons, except for a small number of small firearms for security, and the rest will be destroyed."

"Really, Nariko?"

He asked, surprised. Clearly, his curiosity was seduced.

Yuan Cheng has had a fanatical hobby of military affairs since he was a child, and he is a proper military fan. He has aspired to be a general since he was a child, and in order to take the first step to become a general, he often exercises desperately. According to his words: Only when the body is strong can you teach the soldiers under your command.

Come on, this thing is already in the scene after he became a general.

However, the only thing that made Chen Kaiyu jealous was that Yuan Cheng had developed a strong muscle, which added an incomparably strong masculine charm to him. The two walked side by side on the side of the road, often attracting strange glances from girls. Of course, cough cough, it's all a peek at Yuan Cheng.

In this regard, Chen Kaiyu was extremely depressed, obviously I am the most handsome, okay, he touched his stumbling face.

Roar: The sky has no eyes!!

"Yesterday it was reported in the news that all the large thermal weapons have been destroyed, and the alliance is very determined about this."

"Then there will be no more wars, there will be no damn jihad in our generation. But, Chengzi, your dream of being a general is going to be cool. ”

Chen Kaiyu comforted.

"Yuzi, it's okay, I'm a military fan, not a war maniac."

He sighed and continued, "War means death. No one wants their family to be ruined and their wives to be separated. Besides, there are many ways to become a general, and it does not necessarily depend on military merit alone. ”

Chen Kaiyu smiled slightly and said, "General Yuan, I can see that you are very determined, and I will have a general as a backer in the future." Hahaha. ”

"Hehe, Yuzi, I will definitely take care of you then."

"By the way, Uko, what are your plans for the future? You know, we're not learning material. ”

"I ......"

"I ...... I don't know, and I don't know what exactly I want. ”

"Hey, Yuzi, a person doesn't have a dream, I'm afraid he can't even compare to the ants on the ground, at least they have a goal every day, and they know why they live."

Yuan Cheng persuaded and stopped talking.

Chen Kaiyu's eyes were a little distant.

What teenager doesn't have dreams? At this age, there is no one who does not fantasize?

Can...... It's not that I don't chase my dreams, it's that the dreams aren't in my hands at all. When I wanted to paint the chapter of my dreams with a brush, I found that there were already countless greedy hands behind me guiding and spurring me. When I was still hesitating and hesitating how to pursue my dreams, I found that my dreams had long been grasped by these invisible hands......

Although he was young, he went through a lot.

Especially after the death of the old couple, he thought more and more...... Facing the firewood, rice, oil, and salt at home too early, and facing the cruel social ...... too early

He has dreams, but they can only hide in the deepest part of his heart. Because, he still has her, he wants to live his current life well and make her feel at ease......

At this time, a bloated middle-aged man came in with a handout, and the classroom calmed down. This is the history teacher of the class.

Chen Kaiyu is in a better mood, he has always been interested in history class.

After all, looking at one page, you know three things.

That's the charm of history.

Da-da, da-da, the class bell rings.

"Students, we are going to talk about a very heavy topic today, the dark years that belong to all mankind."

The teacher cleared his throat and continued: "I'll give you a string of that history first, listen to it for me carefully, and I'll talk about any questions when I'm done." ”

"In 2065, with the depletion of the earth's resources, the pressure of rapidly growing population, the widening rift between the rich and the poor, and the various acute social contradictions that accompany it. As a result, governments have to take many measures, among which the most popular is the joint establishment of the International Space Development Center by various countries, in order to accelerate the development of space resources and fulfill people's dream of conquering the vast starry sky for hundreds of years, and at the same time exchange for the opportunity for human survival. This great operation, which lasted for decades, was called at the time: "The Plan of Salvation." ”

However, time has proven that this decision was a major mistake. Space development is never achieved overnight, it takes a long time, but governments cannot afford to wait, let alone people. With countless funds being drained, the poor and hungry people erupted, and chaos continued around the world.

How ironic that this plan, which was supposed to save the world, became the fuse of a great war!

Along with the uprising came the complete tearing of the skin of the Eastern and Western camps. The war broke out, planes circled, artillery roared, corpses littered the field, and mourning.

In order to survive, countries have deployed their strongest weapons without any reason at all.

A home does not become a family, and a country does not become a country.

War will always leave behind blood, loneliness, ruined homes, and incompensatory pain.

This war, which lasted for ten years and set back the development of human society by hundreds of years, was sarcastically called "holy war" by later generations. ”

Then, after the war, people were silent in the face of endless ruins.

It was a time known as the Dark Ages. The land, water sources are contaminated with radiation, and there is a lack of water and food.

Order and law dissipate, and darkness and terror descend. This period lasted for a whole hundred years, condensing the blood and tears of that generation.

After that, the Earth Alliance was formed. Two hundred years of reconstruction, that era, is known as the era of reconstruction.

To this day, 2400 A.D. All of you here, you are extremely fortunate to have escaped the Dark Ages, let alone the Age of Reconstruction. Now, you are the relays of this great era, and the era belongs to you! ”

He spoke impassionedly and endlessly.

"Okay, then whoever has any doubts next, stand up and answer."

"Next, Chen Kaiyu." The middle-aged man shouted weakly.

The sun is about to fall, and the remnant sun is like blood.

The middle-aged man sat in the soul testing area for almost a day, and there were thousands of teenagers and girls who came to the test, and there was an endless stream.

But there are very few people who can truly awaken the spiritual vein.

Autumn goes to winter, and the cold wind of winter is really pierced into the flesh and blood, and the wind is frenzied and cold, like a rebellious sword, stabbing fiercely into the people in the street.

The soul detection area is a room of about ten square meters, and the facilities in the house are simple. In all four corners of the room are mechanical stoves, which are burning with cuprite and warming the room with its steaming heat.

In the middle of the room was an antique purple wooden table with a black stone lying on it.

This stone is a spirit measuring stone, which can guide the awakening of spiritual veins.

There was a middle-aged man sitting at the table who was not interested, and it was the same person who had shouted before.

The middle-aged man tilted his head and sat diagonally. His facial features are three-dimensional, although he is a five-star pre-stage spirit, and his aura is liquid. But injecting spiritual energy into the spirit stone all day long, this kind of high-intensity work, is also very uncomfortable for him.

Looking at the young man in front of him who was a little anxious mixed with excitement, he shook his head helplessly. This familiar scene evokes memories that he has long had.

How similar it is to when I was younger! Expectation, nervousness, indescribable mood. But fate is eccentric, and it only favors the lucky ones. The middle-aged man thought silently in his heart.

When he was young, he awakened the second-grade golden spirit vein, and was lucky enough to join the Heavenly Wind City Guard. And at the age of twenty, he ran for one of the three captains of the city lord's guard, and married the daughter of the Chamber of Commerce in a beautiful manner. Now his status is transcendent, and although he has taken a back seat, he still has a well-paid profession like a spirit master.

"Spiritometer-sama!" A soft drink woke up the middle-aged man.

His pupils slowly focused, and he was greeted by a young man in a gray cotton jacket and straight black pants.

The young man had a slightly chubby face, fair skin, and was very delicate, with a pair of small eyes that were bright and bright, and long black and thick hair covering his head. He was tall and thin.

"Oh, oh, you're Chen Kaiyu, come to the quiz." The middle-aged man snapped back to his senses.

Looking at the young man's speechless eyes, he smiled awkwardly.

His eyes swept over this ordinary and ordinary boy, and an indescribable taste surged in the spirit master's heart.

"Put your hands on it." The spirit master said lightly.

The boy did so, his face calm, and he raised his hand slightly, placing it on top of the spirit stone.

The spirit master glanced at the young man in surprise, he had been measuring spirits for three years and had read countless people. The young people who came to the test were all in mixed moods, and their joys and worries were mixed. It is very rare for such a calm person to be so calm.

It's about fate, and it's so calm, it's a child with a story.

The spirit master thought so.

Time passed slowly, and the spirit stone did not change, and none of the nine black grooves were lit.

The spirit master looked at the young man sympathetically, and said slowly: "The awakening failed, and the veins were born useless. ”

The young man's hand trembled unconsciously, and a trace of loneliness flashed in his deep eyes.

"Hmm." The boy replied colorlessly.

Then he turned around, squeezed out of the line and walked out of the gate.

The spirit master looked at Chen Kaiyu's slightly rickety figure and shook his head helplessly.

Chen Kaiyu walked to the square outside and looked back at the magnificent spirit gate. couldn't help but sigh with emotion, in fact, he had expected such a result a long time ago.

This gate is also known as: Yuelongmen.

The carp will eventually come out of the day, and it will change into a dragon by leaping into the dragon gate.

From the time of gods and demons to modern times, the human race has a history of nearly 10,000 years. The emperors and supremes who have emerged alone in the world have all taken the first crucial step from the Soul Gate.

The fish leaps over the dragon gate and becomes a dragon.
