Come to the shadow behind the high slopes...... , in a dark corner, a place that was distinctly different in color from the gray saline land around it, surrounded like a swamp. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

It's a small waterhole with a large pool of green sediment and light green translucent bubbles floating in it.

The unidentified green liquid that was foaming upwards was like a viscous paste, and it was constantly emitting a dizzying smell. Combined with the black and oppressive sky above everyone's heads, and the yellow-green background light effect constantly emanating from the distance of the Great Gobi behind them. This puddle of mud is like a medicinal soup made by a witch who danced the great god on a whim when she was in a period of ignorance, and it looks like it makes people chill all over the body.

In the midst of the disgusting green liquid, you can still see the unlucky creatures and complete skeletons scattered on it, and there are many "humans" among them, which are the tuition fees paid by people who are not familiar with the environment when they first come to this strange place.

This disgusting place is the toilet of the "man-eating grass".

As a herbaceous plant, it has always been in an awkward position among predators - not sharp enough to chew the hard, enchanted bones of its prey, and even the green natural digestive juices that have evolved over the years of piranha grass are helpless against a large part of these "diehards".

So at this time, the other branch that has been playing the role of camouflage has instead played an important role.

Small and flexible, they can easily burrow into all the places that are not easy to "digest", cut the unlucky prey into a complete skeleton, and leave the real nutritional value to use as nutrients for themselves. The rest is completely "excreted" as waste.

Of course, it is not entirely correct to say that they are "excreted", they are not actually in the body, but after a series of processing, the complete biological skeleton is judged to be of no use value, and will be "pushed" out by the man-eating grass group along with the green digestive juice secreted.

Eventually, over time, a green quagmire of corpses was formed.

At the same time, it has also become the hole card and experimental ground for Kerr, who inadvertently discovered this "treasure land".

...... After all, there is a very old mage by his side, the old man's name is Proteus, and perhaps no one knows the name of the old mage now, but his great deeds have been passed down by word of mouth among the surviving humans - one of the eight wizards of the Seven Towers, the Great Law of Darkness and Necromancy, and the battlefield reaper who was once known as the "puppet master".

It's just that now it's just an ordinary old man who was seriously injured in that terrible disaster and can only survive in the shelter.

......

At the edge of the horrific pile of corpses, a dark purple skeleton lay on its side, half of which was still buried in the filth.

You can also vaguely see the terrifying double sickles and the slender skeleton draped on the exoskeleton.

On it, even at the last moment of death, he still did not give up and roared, as if engraved in his bones, constantly exuding the tragedy of a martyr.

"Why I think we're the villains. Clio crouched beside the green "mire", grumbling as he collected the sticks he had just picked up on the ground

The spoils of this hunt.

"Villains? Where there are no villains, it's just the belief that they want to live. Kerr heard Clio's words and replied softly.

The boy looked at the three-meter-long mantis skeleton and suddenly became a little sentimental - in this world shrouded in a black fog-like sky, you never know what your role really is, maybe at this time, you are the hunter in the eyes of the prey, maybe the next moment, you will be the prey in the eyes of the hunter.

But even so......

Kerr bent down and used the strength of his hand to remove the Shadow Mantis's pair of scythes from their already loose joints.

I'm going to live too......

The young man pinned the hard-won staff material in his hand to his waist and slowly walked in the direction of the depths of the Great Gobi in the distance. There, another wave of explorers is advancing, and there is a very hidden stronghold where barely enough water and food are stored. Especially water, after all, no one knows whether those seemingly innocuous water sources have been polluted by chaotic demons.

They will get there, with a little resupply.

Even if there is a long way to go......

The team behind him, which changed from four to three, distributed and packed up the remaining mantis skeletons, and there was no room for waste here.

Even if there will be countless ups and downs......

The three of them followed their young captain into the silent world ahead.

Even if we are still weak......

Kerr in front of him quietly slowed his pace so that his companions could walk side by side with him.

Even if so, yes......

"I'm sorry for Kelongrui. Unlike Wilk, it's possible that he doesn't have to die. Kerr bowed slightly and apologized, and everyone noticed that the boy, who was not yet twenty years old, was already a head taller than everyone else.

We still have a reason to keep fighting......

"It's not your fault, when I was corrupted by demons to the point that I couldn't even remember my benefactor, I also wanted to die at your hands. Leto slowly lowered his palms to shoulder level as a sign of respect. And Igusi and Clio next to him also smiled and nodded, expressing their approval of the female warrior.

We still can't give up......

Kerr didn't say anything more, turned around and continued to walk forward.

The wind blew across Kerr's face, reminding the boy of what he had been like when he first met Kelongrui...... The big man who crawled out of the corpse hugged his wife's body and wept bitterly, but Kerr barely felt the slightest remorse in his heart. He respects him and thinks he is a man who knows how to look forward, so he rescues him during an expedition and convinces him to join his team.

To be unrepentant is to be arrogant, just as to be hopeless without fear.

We cannot erase the fear of death......

Kerr wiped out the thoughts in his head, and with a rumbling sound in the black sky, the four of them rushed to run, and red lightning jumped and flickered among the thick inky clouds, releasing a terrifying power that made people still tremble even when they watched from afar.

But we can learn to face ......

It rained, and the water demon spirits continued to gather in this dark world, and finally bloomed with a light blue light. As the raindrops fall, the beautiful aurora that once appeared only in the far north of the continent is revealed. The scenery above the sky is like a curtain in the sky, beautiful and pathetic.

To face it, the self we are most unwilling to face, the cowardly self......

Crimson lightning slashed down from the beautiful aurora, connecting the black sky with the devastated earth, like angels and demons dancing together, darkness and light coexisting.

He will tell you everything and expose the scars in your heart......

In the distance, the earth that constantly glows with the yellow halo of the earth demon spirit is empty. It is as if there is infinity until it is connected with the aurora. It is at this time that black, blue, and yellow create a world that is both rich and monotonous.

Only by confronting your fears can you continue to walk......

Kerr and the others had to run harder, and in this Gobi without shelter, lightning would bring death to all careless lives more easily.

No one wants to be such an unlucky ghost.

The only way to keep going......

In the distance, the originally smooth Gobi Desert suddenly had an inconspicuous protrusion.

"Right there," Igusi shouted, running two or three points faster, and the spirits of the crowd were lifted by the shout.

in order to shoulder the responsibility that cannot be relieved......

"Boom!"

There was a thunderclap on the ground.
