vs 198: Is it him?
A volcano in the distance erupted a huge amount of red magma.
The magma erupted high, at least 800 meters by visual inspection.
Thick smoke obscured half of the sky. The bright red magma rushed to the highest peak and began to splash and slash in all directions.
"Thankfully, we're still on the periphery, let's go. The beard urged.
Zidi walked more and more slowly, turning her head to look behind her from time to time.
Before the girl set off, she thought that she was unlucky, and she and Cangsu really escaped from the cave, and the process went smoothly beyond imagination.
All because the stand-in attracted all the spear scorpions.
"How safe I am here, then how dangerous he is there!"
"What happened to him now?"
Reason tells Zidi that the stand-in is likely dead. But feelings hindered her steps, even if there was a glimmer of hope, she wanted to wait.
Even, this thought would come to her mind: "Even if I want to see his corpse, let me see it one last time, let me die!"
"Lord Jinjin's physical condition is very poor, he has never eaten, and his physical strength is lacking. β
"In the face of the pursuit and siege of the scorpion swarm, the physical exertion will be very fierce. The more time passed, the less likely he was to survive. β
"Alas......," Cangsu sighed.
Zidi was extremely irritable and wanted to scold Cangsu to shut him up.
Keep waiting.
Just when the girl was about to despair completely, a figure appeared in her field of vision.
This figure, Zidi is the most impressive.
So much so that when she first appeared, Zidi was a little skeptical about whether she was hallucinating.
But soon, she cried out in surprise.
Her knight has returned, as beautiful as the stories of heroes.
"He brought back the white buds as well. Zidi sighed, and her tone was complicated.
"This is the Templars!" said Acansu in heartfelt admiration.
The two sides converged, and Zidi immediately healed the stand-in.
In the process, she saw the new injuries suffered by the stand-in due to the gun scorpion, and she was also keenly aware that the mental state of the stand-in was completely different.
"Could it be that at the moment of life and death, he was stimulated and became a beast again?"
"That's how it should be. β
"He can't use his fighting energy, only by relying on beast transformation can he defeat the scorpion swarm!"
Although they got rid of the scorpion group, the entire exploration team was only left with four people: the stand-in, Zidi, Cang Xu, and the unconscious Bai Ya.
"Is this the heart of Mystery Island?"
"Could the Alchemy Factory be here?"
Zidi had such speculations, but she didn't think to explore the place.
The environment here is too treacherous, with erupting volcanoes, terrifying lava, and the golden monster lava giant tortoise that I witnessed not long ago......
Also, there was no reason for her to persuade others to go deeper.
She couldn't really be sure that the alchemy factory was hiding here.
Although Cangsu persuaded the stand-in to give up the unconscious White Bud, the stand-in would rather carry it himself than abandon his companions.
Stand-in: "I once said that I would do my best to save everyone and not give up on anyone." This is my commitment and my responsibility. β
"Your noble qualities, my lord, have dimmed the stars of the night sky!" said Abarsu, exclaiming from the bottom of his heart, "You are the epitome of the Templars. β
The stand-in shook his head with a wry smile.
Seeing such a look, Zidi's heart became clearer and clearer: "My previous guess should be the truth, he defeated the scorpion group through beasthood." But he must have been distressed and dismayed by this. β
"The Templars' bodies would never have undergone such a mutation. β
The distress and suspicion of the stand-in made Zidi also sad.
"I should have told him the truth. β
Last night, Zidi quietly made a decision to tell the stand-in the truth at dawn.
But at dawn, she hesitated again: "If I tell him the truth, will I disturb him? Let him feel confused and complicated? He will lead away the scorpions, and his situation is even more dangerous than ours!"
In this way, in the hesitation, she lost the opportunity.
"I should tell him the truth! Even if he wasn't a Needle Gold or a Templar, he was a knight in the first place. It's just his original identity, and that's all I know. Zidi made up her mind again.
Severely short of food, the four returned to the desert with only a small lizard and a jerboa in their hands.
The stand-in gave up all the precious meat to Zidi and Cangmu, and Bai Ya's condition deteriorated, and he not only continued to be unconscious, but also developed a high fever.
"There's movement. The stand-in's face was slightly gloomy, "You eat first, and I'll go on guard to expel or kill the beasts that may exist." β
The stand-in disappeared for a while and then rushed back.
"He seems to be a little different. Zidi was keenly aware of the change in the stand-in.
Zidi and Cang Xu both kept the meat skewers and didn't eat them, and pushed them to the stand-in.
"Are you going to make me break my oath, and let the glory of my knights be ruined?" said Needlegold's expression became very solemn.
Zidi and Cangsu both looked at the needle, feeling that his whole body seemed to be emitting holy light, and for a while, both of them were shocked physically and mentally, and they didn't make a sound.
"Hiccup. β
At this moment, Needle Gold couldn't help but burp.
Greybeard, Purple Pedicle: ???
Zidi's eyes widened, "What did I just hear?"
"A burp?"
"He's full, what's he eating?"
"No, it can't be. He is a knight and will not eat alone behind our backs. Maybe it's not burping, it's just flatulence from stomach reflux. β
But if he did eat, could it be ...... Bestiality?"
When it was dawn, the four of them set off again.
Seeing the golden granite group again, the stand-in left the team ahead of time and went deep into the stone group: "I'll go back when I go." If you have to move, mark the route with pink potions along the way. β
Soon after, he successfully returned, recounting that he had dealt with the lizards in the rocks.
Soon, under his leadership, Zidi, Cangsu and others came to the battlefield.
Cang Xu couldn't help but praise repeatedly: "Lord Needle Gold, I am now beginning to believe in Lord Zidi's speculation. β
"I'm afraid you're really not just a silver cultivator. It's unusual that you can have such a powerful combat power under such a meagre physical condition. There were at least thirty of them in this group, but you relied on an ordinary knife and killed five of them without using your fighting spirit, and forced the entire group of lizards to flee. β
......
Zidi was quietly looking at the battlefield.
Soon, her gaze froze slightly, focusing on the impact marks on the golden granite, and the stone cave that was suspected to be pierced by the tail of a spear scorpion.
In such a short period of time, the effect of the stand-in cleaning the battlefield is actually limited.
"There is no spear scorpion in his narrative, could it be that he transformed into a scorpion tail and defeated the lizard swarm?"
She glanced around, suddenly froze again, and then her heart raced, and her cheeks quickly became hot.
She saw the hole in the double's pants at the hips.
The hole is faint, because the stand-in puts the underneath the jacket, and the motive to cover it is very obvious.
"All the clues are on the right track!" Colorful Chinese
"Wait, he had a full hiccup last night. If it's lizard meat, according to his character, he will definitely take it back and share it. But he didn't...... He has something unspeakable. β
"His food should be granite!"
"He can conjure a scorpion tail, and I'm afraid he can beast more. After becoming a beast, he was able to use granite as food. β
"But he can't share it with the golden granite, because normal people can't eat this kind of thing. β
Zidi continued to think, and recalled that last night, before leaving, the stand-in deliberately asked Cangsu for the knowledge of the spear scorpion to digest food.
"He had prepared in advance, that is, before leaving, he knew that he could become a beast and become a spear scorpion or a part of a spear scorpion. β
But he wasn't sure if he would really be able to feed on granite stones. That's why I asked Cang Xu. β
This means that he can take the initiative to become a beast. β
"Maybe it's because of the number of bestializations, so that practice makes perfect. It may also be that this time the battle with the spear scorpion is hugely exciting, allowing him to break through and be able to freely control the ability of beasthood!"
Guessing the secret of the stand-in, Zidi's heart wells up with tenderness.
"This fool ......"
"I'd rather risk eating the stone myself than give up the skewers to us. β
"He must not want to be a beast, because he thinks he is a Templar!"
"But he had to do it again, because the environment forced him to do it, and to protect my ......"
At this moment, Zidi once again had an impulse in her heart, wanting to tell the double the truth, wanting to stand by the stand-in, holding his hand, and sharing all kinds of sorrows and pains with him.
However, this impulse came to her lips, and Zidi lost her courage again.
She could only stare at the stand-in with those pair of amethyst-like eyes, and said softly, "My lord, please don't take such risks in the future. A lot of times, we can think long-term. β
The stand-in didn't know that the girl in front of him had already understood his secret, and he nodded: "Don't worry, I know it in my heart." In fact, since I got rid of the scorpion swarm, I have a feeling of refreshment. I seem to have broken through something, and I don't seem to have it. Now when I fight, my mind is clearer than before, I know more about the state of my body, and I know what I can and can't do. β
He's going to lay something down.
He deliberately said it very vaguely, to leave some impressions on the people around him.
In the future, after he uses his heart core to solve the threat, he will also be able to make others not feel that it is weird and abrupt for him to become stronger.
Lizard Meat saves the four people, and with plenty of food, the four now need to replenish water.
According to Acanwhisker's speculation, there must be a large water source around the lizard group, and it is likely to be an oasis.
Soon after, the four discover the oasis and enter it.
Here they saw cyanobacteria and xanthellae.
The xanthophyllum had long since died, his face was pale and broken, and the blood and bones were shocking.
Seeing such a scene, Cang Xu and Zi Di suddenly stopped in place.
"Gross. β
Zidi was caught off guard, and immediately retched, almost vomiting the acid water in her stomach.
"It's me...... It's ...... me."
"I killed him, I killed him. β
"I killed the yellow algae, I killed my brother. β
"I killed him, I killed my last loved one in this world!"
Cyanobacteria wept bitterly, and Purple Ty was terrified by the beastly blue-green algae.
At night, by the campfire.
Zidi persuaded the stand-in: "We have all seen the corpse of Huangzao. Cyanobacteria himself confessed to his crimes. This kind of person is so cruel, how can we stay?"
"I also noticed that the back of the spirulina seemed to have been sprayed with acid, and the wound was already rotting, but it was clearly cared for and bandaged before. This is obviously dried yellow algae, and the damage to his back cannot be treated to this extent by the single cyanobacteria. β
"Yellow algae helped his brother and carefully bandaged the spirulina. But what does spirulina do? Such people are really scary. β
Cang Xu has a different opinion, and has an argument with Zidi.
The stand-in looked struggling, obviously embarrassed.
In the middle of the night, Zidi heard the prayer of the stand-in in a hazy way.
"God, Emperor Shengming, my great Lord. Under Your gaze, the world is bright, and the shadows are fleeing in a hurry. Now, Thy believers, thy knights, confess to Thee because I have fallen into the mire of my soul. Enlighten me with your Spirit and fade away my shadow of corruption, ugliness, filth, and filth. I beseech You to forgive me for my sins in my mind and mind......"
The long confession is over.
A gentle night breeze blew in the ears of the young knight.
Everything was expected from the needle - the gods did not respond.
The boy sighed.
Zidi also sighed in her heart.
It was a good time to tell the truth, but she didn't have the courage, really didn't have the courage to speak.
She was scared.
Before, she was afraid that the stand-in would be stimulated and furious, which would be bad for her.
But now, after all kinds of hardships, she has been saved by him countless times. Even if he killed himself in a beastly way, the big deal was to return his life to him.
What she was afraid of was how the stand-in would look at her, and she was afraid to see his look of utter disappointment.
"If he wasn't needle gold, I wouldn't be his fiancΓ©e......"
Even though she knew that the stand-in wasn't her fiancΓ©, she hoped he thought so.
The sun rises and it's a new day.
The stand-in, Purple Di, and Cang Beard begin to fight for survival again.
The stand-in hunted and explored, the cangsu fired clay pots, and the purple pedicle was equipped with an insect repellent agent.
She sighed again: The barbarian leather scroll is too practical, and on this mysterious island, it is this leather scroll that has helped her too much!
As planned, Zidi began to set up a small tent woven of palm leaves.
She was half-kneeling on the ground, her upper body burrowing into the tent, as if adjusting the palm fronds inside. Her lower body was left outside, and her small brown and yellow leather boots were no longer hidden by the magic robe, which was clinging to her hips because of her posture, outlining a touching curve.
The stand-in couldn't help but be attracted by it, and stopped to watch for a while.
"He's just looking at me!" Zidi noticed, shy and happy in her heart.
The stand-in leaves again, and Zidi continues to set up the tent, and in the process, Bai Bud wakes up.
"Are you awake?"
"Lady Zidi, thank you......"
"Don't thank me. Everything is the credit of Lord Needle Gold, who saved you. We've actually given you up. Zidi told Bai Ya the details, with a kind of pride and a faint show off.
A swarm of lizards comes to draw water, and a school of fat balls and flying fish appears, causing a crisis.
"Run, go back to camp. You're dragging me down by staying here!" the stand-in looked slightly pale and let out a low snort.
Cang Xu and Zi Di immediately turned around and ran as hard as they could.
The stand-in kills some of the Fat Ball Flying Fish, then transforms into a Spear Scorpion to lure the following schools of fish away.
"Where is he standing?" said Purple Dye, standing on a high slope near the camp, full of anticipation and worry.
Suddenly, her gaze was inexplicably attracted by a silver spear scorpion.
She watched from afar as the silver spear scorpion plunged into the swarm of running lizards.
The spear scorpion apparently attracted a large number of fish, and the lizards fell in droop.
"Is it him? Is it him?"
Amazingly, Zidi was able to identify the true identity of the Spear Scorpion in an instant, even though she had never thought that the stand-in would turn into a complete Spear Scorpion.
Zidi lost her mind.
In her eyes, the image of the spear scorpion gradually transformed, becoming a stand-in, he galloped on horseback, wearing white armor and holding a riding spear, crisscrossing the battlefield.
