According to the original plan, the Hunter team was supposed to carry out a rescue mission first, and then go to the depths of the desert to find the next Iliad Force and the Dwarves. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 However, now that the rescue plan is obviously impossible, Ian looked up at the sky that was getting brighter a little, and for a moment he didn't know whether to order to go back and repair or go straight to the depths of the desert.

"Now that they're all out, let's get on the road as soon as possible. Bowen said, "The sooner things are resolved, the sooner the desert can be stabilized." ”

Ian thought about it for a moment and felt that Bowen's words made sense. If it continues to drag on, who knows if the next town will become like this, whether it is the king of the earth, Na Armor, or the ghost of the earth, it is not something that ordinary people can deal with.

"Is there enough food and water?" asked Ian.

"I brought a lot of them with me before I came. "And we can look for supplies in this town, people are dead, dry food or something." The inhabitants who live on the edge of the desert generally make food that can be preserved for a long time, such as bread and the like. ”

"That makes sense, so let's spread things out. Ian hesitated for a moment, then decided, "Work in groups of three to find supplies and water in the town. If something happens, just put flares, don't be too far apart from each other, and assemble here in an hour. ”

Everyone nodded in agreement. Each senior hunter took one or two intermediate hunters into a tiled house covered by windblown sand and dry bones. Ian, Green and Dwarf Barton are naturally a group, but Ivy is also clinging to Ian and is unwilling to lead the team alone, and Hilt also stays.

After noticing Ian's gaze, Hilter said awkwardly, "I'd better follow you, other groups won't need a low-level hunter like me." ”

"It's just food and water, it's not a big deal. Ian, despite what he said, didn't chase Hilt away. He understood what Hilter meant, in this crusade team dominated by high-level hunters and supplemented by middle-level hunters, his status as a low-level hunter was too humble, and everyone present was better than him. Originally, when Sade was still alive, he could still act as a translator, which was of great use, but now that Sade is dead, he is really useless.

But Ian didn't mean to look down on him, don't look at him now as the "supreme" Lord of Thorns, and two years ago he was not a little-known junior hunter?

"It's good for you to follow us. Ian said to Hilter, "You know a lot about the desert and can help us a lot." ”

Hilt nodded gratefully.

The Messiah submerged his head in the water, revealing only a pair of pale blue eyes, watching the girl in front of him take off her clothes little by little. On the smooth and white skin, there are conspicuous scars, which destroy the original beauty of the skin, and cling to it like a millipede, which is eye-catching.

Nicole stepped into the hot tub, and the water rippled in circles, startling the rose petals floating on it. The roses dispersed, revealing strands of dark blue hair that were also floating on the water, and the owner of the hair was curled up in the pool, only her head exposed, and the rose petals obscured her body.

Nicole sat in the pool, and the Messiah's head poked out of the water.

"Does it hurt?" asked the Messiah.

"Huh?" Nicole was stunned, "What does it hurt?"

"Your scars. Messiah raised his hand and pointed to a scar on Nicole's shoulder, "It must have hurt so long." ”

Nicole remembered the scar, the closest she had come to death. The spotted leopard's claws stepped on her shoulder, and this was what was left behind at that time, and if she hadn't produced her prey in time, her neck would have been bitten off the next moment. It didn't matter if there was a scar or not.

"When you're a hunter, you're always going to have a little bit of a wound on your body. Nicole looked indifferent, "It's a hunter's medal, but Ian doesn't, his body is good enough to repair all scars, and sometimes I envy him." ”

"Is that really the case?" the Messiah tilted his head, "does it really not care?"

Nicole wanted to nod her head, but under the Messiah's eyes that seemed to see through everything, she found that she couldn't. After being silent for a long time, she slowly shook her head: "How can you not care." ”

She was a hunter, but she was also a woman, and she couldn't take off her blouse and compare who had more scars on her body like a male hunter would be like a male hunter. She can't, she can't use her scars as a medal for her hunt like a male hunter does. She also wanted to have white and flawless skin when she stripped off her clothes, like the Messiah, but she couldn't.

She envied the Messiah.

"I envy you. The Messiah said leisurely.

"Huh?" Nicole was stunned, "You, envy me, didn't you do the opposite?"

"yes, I envy you. Messiah said softly, "What if I could stay with Ian every day and have more injuries on my body? I don't want to stay in the safest place every time and wait for him to come back." ”

Nicole opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything. The princess in the castle envies the hunters outside the city who can be with their beloved, and the hunters outside the city envy the princess who can live a beautiful life in peace.

But a princess is a princess after all, she can't hold a hunting knife, and a hunter is just a hunter, and she can't wear a crystal slipper.

"I don't think Ian will watch you go on an adventure. Nicole said, "He wants you to be safe." ”

"Yes, but that's not my idea, what I want to do more is to go on an adventure with him, just like I used to do in the snowy mountains. The Messiah said, "At that time, we can really feel each other's presence, feel that we are alive, that we want to live, that we want to live for each other." But now, I almost can't feel him, and I don't know if I'll be able to make it until he comes back, and I don't know if he'll never come back. ”

Messiah paused and whispered, "I don't want him to take risks, I just want him to be by my side every day." But I can't do that, he's going to lead everyone through the end of the world. ”
