The sun shone obliquely on the white government buildings, and the golden Moonfall City logo glittered on the flag. At this moment, the square of Changhu Town has long been crowded with people, the sky above the square is mixed with the sound of shouts and the smell of food, every resident who comes to the party is waving a small colorful flag in his hand, here, the color represents the union, which means the union and victory of the Lingren Kingdom and the Fashi Kingdom, which is the simplest expression of peace. Although the afternoon sun exuded layers of heat waves, which made people's hearts hot and boring, it still could not stop the enthusiasm of the people, who raised the flags in their hands and shouted forward.

"Hero! Hero! ”

"Radix, the pride of our Long Lake Town!"

"Peace! Victory! ”

The shouts were unsettled and wave after wave, and they could be heard almost ten miles away from Changhu Town. Qin Qi was standing on the edge of the crowd at this time, secretly enjoying the joy of this feast with the others. He wore a brown border uniform, leather gloves on his hands, and a black thread-wound handle with a clear red gemstone sword and a bronze scabbard hanging from a holster around his waist.

This sword was the sword worn by Lingyue's father when he joined the army. In order to find the sword, Bethlito rummaged through the cabinets, and is still resting in the tree house, when Qin Qi planned to go to the government building with him, he shook his head and told Qin Qi that he would naturally visit his old friend Radix in costume at night, and in desperation, Qin Qi had to find his way to the town by himself, just like when he came back in the morning.

After a while, the crowd in the square was in a commotion again. Qin Qi stood on tiptoe and looked at the temporary high platform at the entrance of the government building, where an old man with white hair, wearing silver armor and a red cloak, walked to the center of the stage. He stood on the stage, the symbol of the military ring city imprinted on his chest - a huge red five-pointed star was dazzling, a kind face, smiling, giving people an approachable and unpretentious feeling. I saw him raise his hands and press them down lightly out of thin air, and the noise gradually fell silent.

Everyone in the audience looked up to him with wide eyes and ears sideways in anticipation of his speech.

At this time, Tans squeezed out of the crowd, he subconsciously straightened his uniform and hair, and it took a long time for him to give Qin Qi an order when he was satisfied with his appearance.

"You're in charge of patrolling around Long Lake and the beach, and then report to the top floor after the patrol."

Qin Qi had long been impatient when he watched him tidy up his clothes for so long, and now he couldn't help but complain when he heard that he had let himself wander around the jungle alone.

"Alone? Are there no other team members? Long Lake and the beach are not a small place, and there are many beasts in them. ”

Tans shrugged and struck a nonchalant look.

"Most of the team members are here today to protect the safety of General Radic, and there are no people to spare, and besides, you haven't been to the Long Lake, there is nothing to patrol there. Maybe you'll be back in a minute. ”

Qin Qi asked questioningly: "What about you?" ”

"I'm the vice-captain, and I'm definitely going to stay here and command." As he spoke, Tans looked into the distance.

Qin Qi looked in the direction of Tans' line of sight, where Lingyue was using her staff to draw colorful flags on the child's face, and suddenly understood everything in his heart.

"It's an order." Tans added coldly.

"Okay, I'll carry out the order."

With that, Qin Qi turned around with his long sword and strode towards the street, General Radic's speech was still going on, and Tans looked at Qin Qi's distant back and showed a satisfied smile

Patrolling is a monotonous and boring affair, with only green trees, shrubs, weeds, and a few small birds flying overhead. Almost everyone in Changhu Town went to the party in the square, and Qin Qi didn't see a single figure on the road. As time passed, the sky faded again and became pitch black, and twinkling stars appeared one by one on the pitch-black earth like gophers.

"It's very dark and distinctive." Qin Qi looked at the sky and muttered to himself. When he noticed his surroundings, he realized that he had walked on the same dirt road where he heard the cry for help yesterday.

He unconsciously looked in the direction of Long Lake, the jungle was dark, and there was nothing.

For some reason, Qin Qi suddenly had the idea of wanting to see the corpse of the lion-faced beast. He knew that the lion-faced beast was parasitic on the body of a normal person, and the amount he killed last night was just an ordinary person, but he wanted to know if the corpse would change back to the appearance of a normal person. Although the jungle at night is a little scary, now that he is a lion-faced beast, what else is more terrifying than himself.

Thinking of this, Qin Qi straightened his back, took a deep breath, pulled out his long sword, and touched the jungle by himself.

The nervousness made Qin Qi feel that it had taken half a lifetime to walk to the edge of the Long Lake. The appearance of the long lake was the same as last night, there was no difference, and what made Qin Qi a little disappointed was that Berlito and the others seemed to have disposed of the corpse of the lion-faced beast, and he walked along the lake for a long time, not even a claw was found.

"Let's just go back." Qin Qi didn't even want to patrol the beach now, he just wanted to return to the place where there were living people as soon as possible. At this time, he stopped, raised his head, looked at the three moons in the night sky, sighed softly, and expressed his boredom.

This look up gave him an unexpected discovery. There seemed to be something parked on the lake in front of him, and this discovery made him suddenly interested, and he left his boredom and irritability behind, and ran forward in a hurry, not noticing a few movements of the grass in front of him.

The distance was getting closer and closer, and Qin Qi saw what was in front of him clearly. There were a dozen small wooden boats, each with about two people, all with oars and black packages.

Qin Qi opened one of the packages and found that there were several stinking clothes stuffed inside, which looked like they had just been changed. Seeing this, he couldn't help but wonder who parked this boat in this wild country with no village in front of him and no shop in the back of the village.

Suddenly, a dark figure emerged from the grass. Qin Qi immediately turned around when he heard the movement, and fixed his eyes to see a sturdy man standing in front of him, his face was full of beard, his teeth were clucking, he looked fierce and vicious, shirtless, and only wore a pair of leggings. On top of that, he still has a bright scimitar in his hand.

"Who are you?" Although he was taken aback, Qin Qi quickly calmed down.

"Border guards," the strong man frowned, "how did you know we were here?" ”

"I'm just passing by..." Qin Qi felt like he had been wronged. He saw the strong man take a step forward, and he couldn't help but raise the long sword in his hand.

"Then you don't want to live." The strong man raised his sword high and made an offensive look.

Qin Qi was scolding all kinds of things in his heart at the moment, thinking that he was too unlucky, he could encounter such a fatal thing just by walking around, knowing that he would not make the sword return to such a bad thing. But at the moment, his life is at stake, and he needs to stabilize the man in front of him and find a chance to escape.

"Brother, I don't know what kind of hatred you have with the border guards, but I really passed by inadvertently, can you talk well?"

"You asked me about this knife." The man spat out these words fiercely.

"Then I can't help it." Qin Qi knew that there was no room for negotiation, and he also put on a duel posture, "You forced me." ”

Just when Qin Qi was about to strike first, he suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing behind him, and the back of his neck was hit hard by something, and the severe pain made him involuntarily throw himself towards the grass, and the sword was thrown out.

"Big brother, he can't do it." A faint voice came from behind. A thin man stood behind Qin Qi, with the hilt of his knife facing down, looking at his "masterpiece" proudly.

Qin Qi was lying on the grass, struggling to stand up, but was trampled on his back by the man and couldn't move. His ears were filled with the laughter of strong men and thin men, and he looked up with difficulty, and saw that the shaking scimitar was only a few centimeters from his face, and he didn't expect that he was actually plotted, and a wave of anger poured into his head from his heart.
