Chapter 40: The Old Man

Ian also looked up, originally he thought that after seeing so many incredible things, he would not be surprised if something strange happened. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info but the reality was that he slapped him hard, making his expression stiff.

It was the first time Ian had truly felt the Iliad's supernatural existence.

They had walked for so long that they had almost reached the top of the tree. The branches began to thin out, so they could see higher, and only to see that about ten meters from the top of the tree, there was an island with a diameter of several tens of meters!

The island is turquoise and can be seen overgrown with flowers and plants, which contrasts sharply with the withered trees below.

"Is this island dangling?" Ian swallowed, "I'm not dreaming. ”

"No, not in the air. The Messiah whispered, "Don't you see? ”

Ian looked closely, and saw that there was indeed a connection, but it was a narrow branch that stretched from the top of the tree to the bottom of the island. It's hard for Ian to imagine that this small branch can support an island of this size.

"Let's go. The Messiah pointed to it, "The final mystery is there, we can still go up, and this ladder leads to the island." ”

Ian nodded, as the Messiah had said, the man who built the ladder was the island, not the tree. The thought that after so many days of hard work was finally going to have an answer, even if it had nothing to do with him, he was still excited. So he took the Messiah by the hand and ran up, but the Messiah stumbled and almost fell.

Ian was also almost knocked down by the Messiah, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he stabilized his body in time. So he turned around a little angrily and wanted to reprimand the Messiah, but saw that the latter's face was pale and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

"What's wrong with you?" Ian was startled, and subconsciously put his hand on Messiah's forehead, and found that her forehead was hot, "Isn't it, you have a fever at this time?"

The Messiah shook his head gently and said, "I don't know why, it was fine just now." But it's okay, just keep going, I'll just be careful. ”

Ian hesitated for a moment, only to remember that now they had no choice but to nod and continue to pull the Messiah up. But Messiah's condition was getting worse rapidly, and Ian felt her little hands getting colder and colder, and at the same time, the pull he was bearing was getting bigger and bigger.

Ian turned back more than once, and the Messiah bit his lip tightly, looking pained. Seeing that Ian was very distressed, he wanted to take this sin on her behalf, but he couldn't, so he could only do it in a hurry and there was nothing he could do.

Slowly, the Messiah's footsteps became more and more weak, and finally the whole person was attached to Ian's back, and even his consciousness began to blur. Ian had no choice but to carry the Messiah on his back, but after climbing the ladder for so long, his body was already exhausted, and at this moment he was carrying another person, his calf shook, and he stepped on a ladder under his feet, and almost fell down.

Fortunately, he took a step forward wittily and stabilized his body. Watching the sawdust fall one after another, he couldn't help but feel scared for a while. But he didn't dare to stop, and with the weight of the Messiah, he was already challenging the ancient ladder's endurance.

So he could only walk forward, not too slowly, otherwise he might fall down at any time. But even so, he still stepped on a few ladders, but fortunately, he dodged in time due to his flexible body.

Brushing shoulders with death again and again, Ian said it was too exciting. Stimulated, he wanted to cry.

I don't know how long I've been walking, but Ian only feels like he's been walking for 10,000 years. He finally reached the edge of the island, and at this time he went up completely on his mind, and he did not have the energy to look at the things on the island.

In a drowsy state, he stepped on a wooden ladder again, but this time he didn't have the strength to jump up again. I could only watch the small island close at hand, and then the whole person fell down.

Is this going to die? Is this really-

With a "snap", Ian's hand was suddenly held by the other hand, and he had closed his eyes and was ready to die in peace. When I opened my eyes again, I saw an old face, and I couldn't help but be stunned.

"Lad, take a hand. The old man pouted, "The person behind you is going to fall." ”

Ian suddenly remembered something, and had used strips of cloth to secure the Mass behind him for safety. Now that the strip of cloth was about to break, and the Messiah's body was about to fall, Ian hugged her with his other hand in time.

Seeing this, the old man laughed heartily: "Young man, the person you love the most can't let go at any time." ”

Before Ian could reply, he suddenly felt a strong force, and the old man directly dragged him and Messiah to the island with one hand. Ian fell directly to the ground, feeling the familiar hardness under his feet, and Ian felt it again, it was good to be alive.

The old man sat down next to Ian, smoking a pipe and spitting into the clouds. Ian was a little unaccustomed to the smell of tobacco and turned his head, but the old man took a large puff of cigarette in his mouth and spit it directly on Ian's face.

Ian was so angry that he almost didn't jump up and fight with the old man, but when he thought of the old man's divine power that pulled the two of them up with one hand just now, he thought about it and gave up. And comfort yourself in your heart, well, adults don't remember villains.

"Tsk, I didn't expect anyone but me to be able to come up here. The old man sighed, and then his eyes glanced at a wooden sign on the ground, oh no, it should be said to be a domino, a domino that had just fallen out of Ian's arms.

"Unexpectedly, you two little guys even picked up my brand back. The old man rubbed the sign in his hand, with a look of remembrance, "The things that have accompanied me for decades have been lost like this." It's really a little reluctant. ”

Ian realized the identity of the old man, but he was not sure, so he cautiously asked, "This old man, you are the hunter of the hall?"

The old man took a long puff of his cigarette and spit it out. In the white mist, the old man's eyes were sharp like a wolf, and like a powerful dragon. He knocked the cigarette butt on the ground, knocked the tobacco out, and the sharpness in his eyes instantly turned into nothingness, and he turned into an ordinary old man again.

"Sort of. The old man replied calmly, "Many years ago, I was indeed the hunter of the hall. ”
