"There was a fierce battle here not long ago, according to the clues left at the scene, the other party should have been attacked by the monster and had to disperse and flee, and the target was obviously seriously injured when covering the escape of another person, which can be seen at a glance from the remaining blood stains around, and the battle between the target and the monster lasted for a long time, otherwise the scene would not have been so badly damaged, in the end, this battle has been extended to the west, maybe there is a relationship between the target and the deliberate lure, if you send someone to search the west now, if you are lucky, you may be able to find the target's body。 ”

The Hound tasked with tracking Alex's whereabouts came to his conclusion after surveying a devastated wood.

"And bad luck?" said Tolan, who was standing beside the hound, with a blank expression.

"Nothing. The hound said indifferently.

Tolan turned his head to look at his subordinates behind him, and waved his hand to signal them to lead a team to search west.

"Where did the other blasphemous flee to? If Alex manages to escape from the monsters, he will definitely rendezvous with them. ”

"To the north, the vampire bat cave. The hound raised and pointed in a direction. "There are hastily left footprints along the way, so it's easy to trace his whereabouts. ”

"All obey the order, target the vampire bat cave. ”

Tolan trusted the Hound in his judgment, a helper he had hired at great expense, and he had never disappointed himself so far.

......

"This is the outpost that the demons once built?"

Alex couldn't help but be shocked when he learned the meaning of the words engraved on the silver medal from Chen An, but he cared more about why Chen An understood the demon's words than this.

That's exactly what it says on the nameplate. Chen An frowned and glanced back and forth at the surrounding stone wall road. "But the problem is that there is no outpost here. ”

"After all, the demons don't know how many thousands of years have been suppressed into the abyss, even if they once established a so-called outpost here, but time has passed, and the outpost must have turned to dust long ago. Alex thought.

“...... You have a point, but is it really so easy to destroy what the demons have built?" Chen An said with deep doubts.

"If the demons were really that powerful, how could they have been completely suppressed and sealed by the gods in the first place?" Alex said in a disdainful tone.

"Alex, you can't belittle the demons too much because they were defeated by the gods, no matter how demons are equal to the gods, otherwise the war between them would not have lasted for countless thousands of years before it came to fruition. Chen An shook his head and said. "For example, the metal nameplate in front of me is now unknown to the outside world, but it is still brand new, and if it is replaced by a nameplate made by mortals, I am afraid that it will have rusted so much that it will not be able to look at it in a few decades...... Hey, by the way, how did I forget, why am I so stupid! Since the nameplate is fine, then the outpost here will definitely be fine, the nameplate, the nameplate, the general nameplate will be fixed on the exterior wall of the building that meets the description, and the outpost may be inside this stone wall!"

After Chen An said something halfway through, he seemed to be a different person and began to talk to himself, and at the same time, his spirit became extremely uplifted, and before Alex could react, he had already picked up the dagger and dug towards the stone wall where the nameplate was found.

Ding——

With a crisp sound, Chen An, who was digging the stone wall with a dagger, was stunned to find that the tip of the dagger was actually broken off a small part.

"Sure enough, the outpost must be behind this stone wall! The hard touch of the tip of the dagger just now must be the outpost wall!"

Seeing Chen An's crazy appearance, Alex was stunned for a long time before coming back to his senses, and vaguely he seemed to have become the Chen An he felt unfamiliar with again.

"Ann! Ann!

Ignoring the pain in his body and arm, Alex forcibly knocked down Chen An, who was desperately digging the stone wall, with his intact hand, and shouted.

"What the hell are you doing? What if you dig up this stone wall and discover the so-called demon outpost?

"What do you know?!What do you know?" At this moment, Chen An was already glaring at Alex who was in his way with red eyes. "Do you know what this nameplate means? Do you know what an outpost means? Maybe the key to our rescue is the outpost in front of us! Don't think I can't see how badly injured you are, as long as you continue to delay like this, you will die just like me! And I will never let you die here because of my relationship!"

"Ann, calm down! Stop holding those whimsical ideas! I don't want to understand the nameplate or outpost you are talking about! I don't want to understand it! I just want you to change back to your old self! Don't go crazy again!" Alex, who was suppressing Chen An, couldn't help but have tears in his eyes when he shouted these words.

"Alex, if there is a glimmer of hope, I will save you, so don't stop me, please don't let me die with guilt for you!" Chen An gradually stopped struggling, his red eyes regained a trace of clarity, and he closed his eyes, because he didn't want Alex to see his fragile appearance of tears.

"Ann! I did it all voluntarily, so you don't have to feel guilty, it's all my choice!" Alex sobbed.

Alex...... It's me who I'm sorry for you, it's me who I'm sorry for you......" Chen An bit his lip and muttered bitterly through his nose. "Why are you being so nice to me! You shouldn't be so nice to me......"

"An ......" Alex slowly let go of the hand that was suppressing Chen An, he took a deep breath, and an indescribable smile appeared on his delicate face.

"If I were a girl, if I had fallen incorrigibly in love with you, would you still wonder if I was good to you?"

“......”

Chen An sobered up, completely sober.

After hearing Alex's confession that subverted his long-standing cognition, Chen An was stunned on the spot for a long time, a long time.

Thinking back to the bits and pieces of his acquaintance with Alex, he seems to have regarded Alex as a man from the beginning, because whether it is appearance, voice, words and deeds, etc., he has the characteristics of a boy, although he does not have an Adam's apple, but think that he is in the period of puberty, maybe the Adam's apple will grow later, after all, everyone's development is different, not to mention the medieval period of poor nutrition, stunting is a normal thing.

Speaking of which, he rarely messes with Alex, so naturally there is no physical intimacy, and since he has never seen Alex naked, how can he tell from the loose coat he usually wears that he is male or female first sexual?

Could it be that—

Alex is really a tomboy like Pole Boy?!

For a moment, both of them fell into an awkward silence.

Boom –

Just as Chen An was about to break the silence and speak, the entire cave suddenly shook slightly like an earthquake, and countless gravel fell from the top of the cave in an instant, but Chen An's attention at the moment was inexplicably on the stone wall that had just been excavated.

Because, the stone wall kept falling off pieces of dirt, revealing a silvery-white alloy gate inside.

Alex...... You see......"

He seemed incredulous and reached out to the stone wall in front of him, prompting Alex who was pressing on him.

Alex, looking confused, turned his head and looked stunned when he saw the silver gate in front of him.

"Alex, can you get away from me now?"

Chen An, who was about to get up, patted Alex on the shoulder.

Alex immediately got up embarrassedly after hearing this, and he didn't dare to face Chen An head-on.

Chen An took a deep breath and came to the silver gate, stretched out his hand and pressed it, and in an instant, he felt the cold, hard and smooth texture of the gate.

- Tick!

- Please be patient!

- Carbon-based humanoid creature confirmed!

- Identification passed, allowed to be opened!

No one would have thought that Chen An just touched the silver gate with the palm of his hand, and a neutral voice full of mechanical synthesis immediately sounded in his ears.

"Who?!"

Alex subconsciously pulled out the dagger in his other leather boot and looked nervously from side to side.

Click-

Then he saw the silver-white door open in front of him.

Looking at the narrow passage behind the gate like daylight, Chen An's eyelids had been beating wildly from the beginning, he calmed down the restless emotions in his heart, turned around and picked up the backpack on the ground, and then waved his hand to say hello to Alex.

"Alex, let's go!"

“......”

Everything that happened in front of him seemed to be beyond Alex's imagination, and in the end, he could only silently follow Chen An's footsteps and step into the silver gate in front of him.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they stepped into the gate with their front feet, there was an exclamation not far from the door!

"Captain, we've found them......"

"Oh no! It looks like someone from the temple is chasing after you!"

Alex was the first to react.

"Close the gate! Close the gate......"

In a hurry, Chen An suddenly shouted at the unmanned passage.

- Request received, closing the door.

The familiar sound of machinery sounded again, and the silver door in front of me slowly began to close.

Chen An and Alex stared at the outside of the silver gate, stepping backwards step by step, and for a moment, when the gate was about to close completely, they saw a long sword slammed into the crack in the door, and a hideous man's face was revealed outside the door.

"Blasphemers, you can't escape!"

Ding——

They clearly heard the threat of the man outside the door, but unfortunately, the long sword was not only powerless to prevent the gate from closing, but broke under the strong pressure of the gate.

- The gate is closed, is the gate locked?

"Yes!"
