Abarsu cast a look of astonishment. It was the first time he had heard this secret, and it turned out that Zidi and Needle Gold had such a close relationship.

"Lord Needlegold, you are a true knight. The old scholar expressed his heartfelt admiration, "Your noble conduct has always been our spiritual banner since the beginning of your journey. ”

"There may still be hope. ”

"These scorpion tails are very sharp, and depending on your strength, throwing a scorpion tail is likely to cause fatal damage to the spear scorpion. ”

"We can rely on the cave and attack from time to time. The spear scorpion attacked, and we hid in. ”

Cangsu came up with a good tactic.

A memory recovered from Needlegold made him very good at throwing weapons.

When he killed the flying squirrel swarm, Cangsu was very impressed by this.

But Needle Jin shook his head slightly and said frankly: "It may be small." ”

There was no increase in fighting energy, and he attacked and killed the flying squirrel before because the mutation was activated, which made his arm bulge, and burst out with a power that exceeded the limit of his body at the moment.

But now, the young knight seems to have lost the ability to mutate.

Whether it is provoking the scorpion group before, or breaking through the lizard's lair, or the fierce battle with the silver spear scorpion not long ago, there is a life and death crisis.

Needle Gold relied on his own combat quality to avoid these crises.

From beginning to end, no mutations occurred.

At the moment of life and death, the ability to mutate was not stimulated.

"It seems that the magic of the Heart Shard is too little. ”

There are ways to replenish mana.

For example, eating Warcraft meat and drinking Warcraft blood. But although the blood of the monkey-tailed brown bear was treated by Zidi, a few tubes were preserved, and they were also handed over to the needle.

But because of the dust storm, these tubes of demonic beast blood were lost.

Now Zidi's small leather bag does not have any similar medicine.

"I'm afraid that in this case, I can't mutate anymore. ”

Without mutation, the young knight will have a poor effect by throwing these scorpion tails by manpower alone. Without the blessing of speed and throwing power, there is no way to threaten the spear scorpion.

"Isn't that okay?" said Greybeard, his face full of disappointment.

Needle Gold handed the water bag to Zidi, and the girl gradually stopped sobbing and swallowed the water in small sips. With the help of the act of eating, the mood gradually stabilizes.

There was a deathly silence in the cave.

It's really at the end of the day.

After a long time.

"My lord, you can also drink saliva. The girl in her arms handed the water bag to the needle gold again.

Needle Gold took a sip and moistened his dry desert throat.

The air inside the cave is no longer as pungent as it used to be, and people are sometimes more adaptable than they expected.

Furthermore, what if you don't adapt to such a situation?

"Your Excellency, let's go. Zidi whispered again.

Needle Jin made up his mind and nodded in response: "I'll go, I'll leave at dawn." After I rush out, try to attract the spear scorpion, and you will also get out of here and go your separate ways. ”

Although he really wanted to be by Zidi's side, he knew in his heart that he was the only one of the three who could take on the heavy responsibility of leading away the scorpions.

This is the last chance.

The reason for escaping during the day is that the ground here is uneven, with many deep pits and magma traps. During the day, before the magma is ejected, gray smoke is ejected first. But at night, the smoke is difficult to detect by the human eye, which is very dangerous.

"Good. Zidi's heart trembled and she approved of Needlegold's escape plan.

Cangsu also nodded, but did not speak.

Everyone knows that such an escape plan is very rudimentary, and the hope of escaping is very slim, but what else?

It's like sending you to death.

But so what?

This is already a last resort.

Held in her arms by Needle Gold, Zidi fell asleep.

She drank some water, and there was a sound of hunger in her belly, but Zidi was unaware and slept deeply.

It was the most restful sleep she had ever fallen into the desert.

Perhaps, it was also the last sleep of her life.

Needle gold did not sleep.

He looked at the girl curled up in his arms, and the love and pity in his heart became stronger and stronger. He felt that the latter was like a long-wandering, emaciated kitten.

Bai Bud is still unconscious.

Most of the explorers were killed, but he is still alive.

But if he doesn't wake up, he'll die here.

Time passed slowly, midnight passed, and it was about three or four o'clock, and Cangsu slowly opened his eyes.

The old scholar let out a deep sigh: "Your Excellency, you are too hungry. ”

Needle gold fake sleep, at this time slightly open an eye.

And so it is.

The stronger the Dou Qi cultivator, the more nutrients he needs to absorb. The Grand Duke of Steel Armor in the north of the empire eats three meals of wurm meat every day, and the Fire Phoenix Prince of the Elven Empire eats two kilograms of white frost spirit deer antler every day.

Needlegold was now sitting against the wall of the cave, not even daring to move. He was afraid of needless consumption of strength, and even a little more strength in the fierce battle tomorrow morning would be precious, so he wanted to save as much as possible.

"Lord Needlegold, you are in desperate need of food right now. The beard's voice came, and the tone was a little heavier than before.

Needlegold opened his eyes completely, and saw the grief and indifference reflected in the gray eyes of the gray beard.

Needle Gold snorted coldly.

He knew what Cang Whisker meant, and the food that the latter was alluding to was white buds!

However, for a Templar to eat a man?

"My lord, you are too hungry to fight, how can you fight without strength? The flesh of the white sprout is our only food, and his blood can replace water. ”

"Shut up. Needle Gold scolded in a low voice, his eyes full of anger, "I will never slaughter innocents because of myself." If you were a white bud, would you want to be used as food?"

Cangsu was silent for a moment, and then suddenly smiled, his smile was full of bitterness, and he seemed to be relieved.

Cangsu raised his head and took a deep breath, and then said in surprise: "Then please eat me first." ”

Needle Gold was stunned.

Seeing the look of doubt on Needle Gold's face, Cang Xu smiled and said, "Lord Needle Gold may have misunderstood me. I'm not afraid of death, and I'm not afraid of living to my age, what else can't I see through? I'm just afraid that my pursuits and dreams won't come true. So, I know how to value my life far more than those young people, because I know that my days are short and my time is precious. ”

"But what can I do if fate gives me an end? I have fought with all my might, arguing with my life, and the process of struggling may be laughable, pitiful, and pathetic, but I have no regrets. ”

"Needle-sama. "Although I have not been with you for a long time, I know very well that you are a noble and true Templar. You are brave, strong, and rise to the occasion. No strong enemy can defeat the banner in your heart. Although you have far more strength than ordinary people and are extremely talented, you have always been humble and thirsty for knowledge. You may be young, but you are very resilient, and your growth during this time has been amazing. It is especially valuable that you are of noble birth and yet maintain an equal attitude towards those who are below you. ”

"My lord, tomorrow morning's breakthrough, Miss Zidi and I are basically hopeless. The scorpion swarm will not let us go, and any ordinary spear scorpion can easily claim our life. ”

"The only one who is most likely to be alive is you, my lord. ”

"But, my lord, in your current state, will you be able to escape?"

Cangsu shook his head: "You don't have faith yourself, do you?" ”

"And before that, any food can increase the probability of your survival. ”

"If morality and emotion aside, eating white buds is the wisest decision. You wouldn't deny that, would you?"

Needle Gold did not speak.

"I've read the ogre's notes, and if you look at it by the standards of food, the young white sprouts are more tender and nutritious than mine. But if I serve as food, it's also qualified. ”

"The most important thing is that I am different from Bai Ya, I am willing to give myself. So, my lord, you are not the devil who slaughters innocents, but a savior. The difference is that you are not saving the small life of the weak, but a trivial wish of the weak on their deathbed. Before I die, I have a small request, and I hope you will grant it. ”

Cangsu has a deep understanding of his own situation.

He is too old, and breaking through tomorrow morning is almost a certain death, plus he has something to ask for, so he makes a sacrifice to save himself to make his last wish come true.

Needle Jin sighed, shook his head and said, "I will never eat people, whether it is you or Bai Ya." For I am a knight, a Templar, a man whose fate favors the strong, but never the one who accepts his fate. Beard, if you think you are going to die, you are really dead. ”

"However, if you have any last wishes, you can say them. I promise you that I will do my best to help you achieve it, without violating the principles. ”
