It must have taken less than a minute.

Mino let out a sigh and stepped out of Che's embrace, looking at the mountains in the distance, which were a little blurred by the heat.

Compared to the road just now, it all looks like a real scene, and it looks too gorgeous. So Che has a conjecture. If those monsters just now are small monsters, now they are going to encounter boss-level monsters.

I'll leave it to Che to solve, thinking so, Mino looked up at Che.

I thought that Che should have absolute confidence in himself, but staring at his face, the light that appeared in his royal blue pupils seemed to indicate that he was uneasy like never before.

"What's wrong?"

"It's not good here." Without concealment, Che answered directly, as if he had expected Mino to ask these three words.

"I don't feel good, too, because I thought so from the very beginning when I came in." Mino pouted.

Che smiled bitterly, it seemed that Mino hadn't realized anything yet. It's really obvious that he and Hades are cousins, even if they have one percent of the same insight as Hades in their genes.

Che had no choice but to explain: "It seems that the first subordinate of the Ghost King is waiting here." ”

"Huh? You mean the Flame Ghost? "Although Mino didn't find anything, if he even had someone who was who, or someone else around the most famous guys in the Demon Realm, it would be too incompetent.

Che nodded.

The Ghost King, an existence that feels like it can almost transcend the overlord's management. Only Scrogay could hold him down, and he could see it clearly. It's already a good situation that Hades can live in peace with the Ghost King. So when Dante borrowed the power of forbidden magic from the ghost king, Hades didn't say anything after all.

And how his first subordinate Flame Ghost was punished and imprisoned in the Void Land, Che also knew very well.

Just like the evolution of the environment here, Che can imagine the scene of the vicissitudes of the sea - the old site of the original Demon Continent is not a ruin. It was all caused by the Flame Demon and another strange guy fighting.

At that time, the Ghost King was also very angry, so he took the initiative to ask Gaia to punish the Flame Ghost.

What Gaia said at the time was that she would definitely be punished severely, but now seeing the Flame Ghost in the void space felt reasonable and unexpected.

The Flame Ghost is the first assistant of the Ghost King, and he is so disregarded that he was locked up in this place where he does not see the light of day just because he is confused for a while.

"Styde, I see. Let's find a way to get around here, otherwise we will be sent to death in the past. You're scared too...... If it's him. Mino said, grabbing Che's sleeve.

Che nodded and replied, "I know!" I'm scared! Absolutely. If it was the past, I would have rushed forward even if I knew that I was going to die. The so-called challenges of life are nothing more than that, but now I have a lot to protect and a lot of responsibilities on my shoulders, and I will not die here. Even more can't die. ”

"Then ......," Mino was even more puzzled when he heard his words. It's obviously a retreat from the general words, but why can you still be so firm in your eyes.

Che smiled: "Again, life is full of challenges, and life also needs challenges." I believe in the choice made by the Staff of Time, I believe in Gaia, and I believe in my own strength even more! ”

At the first moment, when he realized that he was going to face the Flame Ghost, the first subordinate of the Ghost King, he was naturally afraid, but after this fading, he only had to move forward bravely.

I'm not going to die here. I want to overcome the fear in my heart, overcome!

Che walked swiftly and resolutely towards the fiery mountain.

And Mino in such a hot environment. But I felt that my bone marrow was already frozen. Completely lost her courage...... In other words, she has obviously lost her courage, I don't know where she got the courage, she got rid of the psychology of wanting to love in her heart, and followed the black shadow of Che towards the scorching mountain little by little.

She couldn't leave Che alone. If I curl up and hide somewhere like a coward, my heart will shrink, my fingers will stiffen, and I am afraid that I will no longer be able to use the staff of time, and I will definitely not need me again by then......

Thinking of this, Mino walked harder and harder, she didn't allow this to happen, shuffling her steps, quietly holding the staff of time in her hand, her eyes flashing, her small and beautiful lips lightly opened, and she burst out with extreme words that did not fit her perfect appearance: "If you can't follow it, you don't deserve to make a contract." ”

This is not for others, but for oneself.

A burst of warmth suddenly ignited in the cold heart, no, it didn't come from the bottom of the heart, but from the outside.

Obviously, the surrounding environment is hot, but only Che's hands are warm.

When he rushed upward, Che noticed that Mino behind him was a little abnormal, and when he looked back, he found that he was obviously in the heat, but he had a pale and cold face.

Che let out a sigh and came back, he was so anxious that even his teammates forgot about it, took her hand, and asked, "Is Mino okay?" I'm sorry, but I was so anxious that I forgot you were still behind. ”

Mino shook Che's hand slowly, and his excitement suddenly exploded, gritting his teeth and hanging his other hand on Che's shoulder, leaning on him, and asked weakly and frustratedly: "Am I useless, obviously just a subordinate of the Ghost King, I am actually afraid to call it like this." ”

The weakness of seeking comfort crept over Mino, and she really didn't want to distance herself from Che like this.

When he was young, he was arrogant, and even treated Cousin Hades with a little luck and a little "sooner or later I can defeat him" mentality.

But one day, on the mountainside of the Demon Continent, I saw a little boy fighting with a powerful orc leader for his weak companions.

Although the little boy was eventually beaten and his face was swollen, only his dignity was not lost, and she developed a special emotion that she had never had for anyone since birth, as if she could take off the hard shell of her body in the face of this person, but she also knew that before that, what needed to be done was close to him.

It's just a pity for the little boy - Che? L. Underworld? Mandatoya is not from the Demon Continent, he doesn't come to the Demon Continent very often, and even if he comes, it's just as a guest, almost just fighting with Hades, and there is almost nothing else in the Demon Continent.

Mino had no chance of getting close to him.

After the last battle, the sealing gate of Hallette Island and the Demon Continent was sealed, and there was no chance, and even she began to worry if it was because of some misunderstanding that she would never have a chance to approach him.

But a miracle happened.

Five hundred years later, he appeared, still like him in his memory - a handsome young man - to form an alliance with the Demon Continent.

Mino also obtained the right to make a contract through various ways and came to his side, but now why can't even such a simple thing as "accompanying" be completed?

Her career began to distort, and hot stuff flowed through her cheeks. And because of the scorching heat of the surrounding environment, this warmth was quickly evaporated.

It wasn't until a hint of coldness appeared that Mino realized that her tears had flowed uncontrollably from her eyes.

Leaning on Che's shoulder, Mino wiped all his tears away.

"......" can you not make such a funny move when you are so sad?

Spit out, Che still couldn't help but complain and replied: "Since you said from the time you signed the contract that it was up to me to protect the Demon Continent, then, just do your bonus work, you, and I will protect you." ”

"......" Mino listened to the untrue words in his ear, and only then shook off Che's hand vigorously and walked a little farther away so that he could see Che's face clearly.

Is it like protecting yourself as if you were protecting your partner?

"Then, protect it for a lifetime!" Mino said.

"For a lifetime? There should be no problem, as long as I live, I can protect you for the rest of my life. Che smiled, there are so many people in the Demon Continent, they all say that they want to protect themselves, and there are not many more.

Mino stepped forward again and smashed his fist on Che's chest: "I don't know anything at all, so I make a promise!" You bastard, I don't want to be protected, I just want to be with you all the time! I'm with you! ”

"Poof...... Ahem...... "The combat power of the fist is a little bigger." Che was beaten and couldn't help but scream.

Mino stopped abruptly and rested his head on Che's shoulder.

In fact, it's not a big deal, but it keeps whimpering, and these incredible powers in my heart are all revealed, and sure enough, it's not my cowardice that is out of control this time, but my long-term pretense of being strong. She couldn't remember the last time she cried in front of people.

There was chaos in my head, but there was a sense of relief.

Che touched Mino's head, as if he was treating a junior, and said, "Okay, you can wait for me here......"

"No way!" Mino took Che's hand and insisted on going together.

Che leaned against the scorching rock wall, his eyes losing his luster and looking at the hottest cavern, "I can't guarantee that I will be able to protect you after you come along." ”

"Hmph, what are you thinking, it's obvious that I'm protecting you." Mino smiled, the terrifying emotions had been swept away, Che was originally the common hero of the Demon Shadow Clan and the Demon Clan, but here he was alone, so it seems that even if he dies here, he will die without regrets.

"Well, we won't die, after all, you will protect me." Che Cai was not stupid enough to argue with the girl about this kind of detail.

Mino smiled quickly, but soon his whole body stiffened, ahhhhhhhh

His face flushed, and he immediately retreated. (To be continued......)
