Chapter 35: A Flame Burning in the Night

It had been nearly two hundred years since Nakoruru had been transformed into a spirit of nature at the end of the Shogunate period, and this land was both familiar and strange to her.

During this time, she seems to have spent her time in a deep sleep, or she may have jumped directly from the moment of ascension to the present, which even she herself is not very aware of.

"It's been a long time since I've eaten such delicious food...... No, it should be said that I have never eaten it! Nakolulu held her bulging cheeks, and seemed to be unable to bear to continue chewing, wanting to leave more time for the delicacy in her mouth, "Ah, Mamahaha, don't grab it!" ”

Seeing that her guardian eagle took advantage of the unpreparedness to take a large piece of food from her plate, Mamaha suddenly became anxious, as if in front of food, no matter how good a partner was, he had become a class enemy.

Mamaha flapped her wings to avoid Nakolu's palm, tilted her head and swallowed the food, then let out a grunt of satisfaction.

"When it's over, I'll invite everyone to my hometown, it's beautiful, and the food is delicious!" Two red clouds appeared on Nakoruru's cheeks with excitement.

Shalan, who was sitting on the other side of the table, accepted Kashia's invitation this time, and the situation that had happened to her during the day made her a little uneasy, but she didn't show it at the moment.

She was patiently tasting the food, not as exaggerated as Nakoruru, but judging by the sparkle that appeared in her eyes from time to time, she was just as satisfied.

In the darkness in the distance, Zhang Lin sensed a hint of prying eyes, and under the pretext of going to the bathroom, he came outside alone.

In the empty alley, there was no trace of anyone, and it seemed that telling Zhang Lin that his previous feelings were just an illusion.

But Zhang Lin squinted into the depths of the darkness, and vaguely, it seemed that a poisonous snake was gathering momentum.

"Come out, I know you're there!"

From between the slightly vibrating lips, Zhang Lin's tone became dangerous.

"It's surprising that you're noticing, you don't seem to be a famous person."

There was a laughing answer in the darkness, and it sounded like a girl's voice.

I saw a small man in a red shirt walk out, standing on the wall, looking at Zhang Lin condescendingly.

"I'm not looking for you, let that woman come out!"

"I don't know who you're looking for, but I have a question for you?"

"Humph......"

"Are you a boy or a girl?" Zhang Lin looked at the other party curiously, completely indifferent to the increasingly gloomy momentum on the other party.

“......”

What answered Zhang Lin was the blue-purple flame that burned in the other party's hand, and a scythe composed of flames swept along the ground, and the blackened rubble kept disintegrating.

"I'll just say it's definitely a boy who is so cute!" Zhang Lin seemed to take a step very casually, staggering the flames that were gradually disappearing behind him. "Also, the color of this flame is beautiful!"

"Indeed, it will bloom into a beautiful flower before you die!" The boy didn't look surprised that he had been dodged with a tentative blow, and it was clear that he was confident in his strength, and after a burst of snickering, flames erupted between his arms again.

Call! Call! Call! Call!

The four scattered flames gathered towards Zhang Lin's position.

"Are you sure you didn't learn this trick from the Uchiha family?" In the face of multiple attacks, Zhang Lin was still dodging leisurely, and his seemingly slow and leisurely movements made each fire ball deviate from the target at the right place.

Of course, the boy didn't know what the Uchiha was, and he didn't write the wheel eye, but after seeing Zhang Lin dodge his attack again, he finally had a trace of surprise, "What else can you dodge besides?" ”

"Of course I'll be more than that, do you want to see it? One of the Eight Masterpieces, Chris's little friend? The corners of Zhang Lin's mouth hung a playful smile, and the other party's suddenly constricted pupils and tense body confirmed the identity of the other party.

"You ......." Although it has experienced hundreds of years of reincarnation in the form of a soul body, it still can't stop the surprise brought about by being called out of identity.

As if playing a turn-based game, Zhang Lin also said before the action, "I'm going, my attack!" ”

A circle of daggers formed by golden light surrounded Zhang Lin's body, and according to the saying of not being rude, the number of counterattacks doubled and galloped towards the young man on the wall.

"......Shh

Chris seemed to be a little disdainful, his footsteps tapped on the wall, and his figure seemed to turn into several, flying left and right to dodge Zhang Lin's Holy Light Flying Knife, but the next moment he saw a trace of sarcasm on the corner of Zhang Lin's mouth, and just when he was alert, the stinging pain from his shoulder made him let out a muffled snort.

The little golden dagger danced up and down on Zhang Lin's fingertips like a nimble swimming fish, and Chris held his bloody shoulders and glared at him, his eyes red.

"Looks like I'm going to be a little better." Zhang Lin continued to stimulate the injured teenager with words.

"You're damned!"

The boy's skin gradually became a little gray under the light of the flames, and his whole body seemed to turn into a burning man and jumped up, and his raised right hand slashed down like a sickle.

"Mamaha!"

Zhang Lin, who was about to deal with this blow, suddenly heard the girl's coquettish voice and a loud eagle chirping behind him.

I saw Nakorulu hovering in mid-air with a pair of wings spread behind her back, and the short knife in her hand, Kikiwuhi, was raised above her head, and the next moment it flew down, and the latter slammed into Chris violently.

With a roar of fire, Nakorulu's dagger stabbed Chris in the abdomen, and the young man flew upside down, crashing through several walls before being buried in smoke and bricks.

Bang Bang ...... Smack-

The old and dim street lamp flickered several times in a row, and finally went out.

"Why are you here?"

Zhang Lin looked at Nakolulu, who had fallen back to the ground, and Mamahaha, who had just been on the back as a girl's wing, let go of her claws and returned to her shoulder.

"I feel the breath of darkness!" Nakorulu still wrinkled her nose, as if she sensed breath the way she felt like a canine.

She doesn't seem to know about the big snake?

With a puzzled look, Zhang Lin walked towards the place where Chris had fallen, but the young man's figure had disappeared, and there were only some fragments of his red shirt and a jade-shaped pendant that had been tied around his neck.

"Did I let him go?" Nako Lulu looked at the thing in Zhang Lin's hand tangledly.

"It's okay, he'll show up soon." Throw what Chris left behind back into the dust.

......

In the dimly lit hallway, a little spark flicked down from between her fingers, and the woman poked the ground with the tips of her high-heeled shoes with some impatience.

At this moment, a figure staggered over.

"Chris, you're finally back."

The woman was about to reach out and touch the other's head as usual, but the boy, who was supposed to avoid her movements, fell headlong into her arms, and blood stained her short skirt.
