Chapter Twenty-Four: Shiyu's Entrustment
Shi Zhe hurried to Shi Yu's room. It was probably the first time in a long time that he had been so flustered. He wanted to see Shi Yu as soon as possible, and he was afraid that Shi Yu would just wake up and miss out. Shi Zhe felt that it was good to be concerned about Shi Yu like this, as if he was not an orc. As for whether he is a person or not, he doesn't know, after all, he has forgotten what it is like to be a human being.
Shi Zhe came to Shi Yu's room, and Shi Yu was lying on the bed with a faint breath. Shi Yu turned his head sideways and saw Shi Zhe, and a smile appeared on his bloodless face.
Shi Zhe walked quickly to Shi Yu's bedside.
"Shi Yu, how are you? Are you still uncomfortable?" Shi Zhe's eyes were full of concern, and even, there were some shiny things.
"Don't worry about me, I'm fine. Shi Yu said lightly.
Shi Zhe knew that Shi Yu had always been like this, his appearance was obviously terrible, how could it be very good.
Shi Zhe didn't know what to say for a while.
It was Shi Yu who spoke first: "Shi Zhe, it's good that I can wake up and say a few words to you." Although I am not as handsome as you after I became an orc, I know that I still have the memories of my past life, and you are jealous of me, right?"
"Yes, yes. "Originally, Shi Zhe drank that you were envious of Shi Yu, jealousy was not counted, he was very happy that Shi Yu could share his previous memories with him, and he could give advice for himself to manage the Lion Country. It's just that at this moment, everything that Shi Yu said was right.
"But, you know what. I almost don't think we orcs can change back, so I'm pessimistic that maybe it's not bad for us to self-destruct. So I didn't tell you all the memories of the past, don't blame me, and I don't want to bother you. Shi Yu said lightly, his lips opening and closing gently, like a gossamer.
Shi Zhe nodded: "It's okay." β
"Now that I'm counting, it seems that Ξ² elemental weapons should also be developed. β
"Yes, it's pretty much there, and it needs to be improved. When I improve it, this world will be mine, Shiyu, don't you want to see me happy, you must hold on until the day I dominate this world. β
Se Yu shook his head.
"Shizhe, can you give up?"
"Give up, why give up, victory is just around the corner, how can you give up at this time. Shi Zhe suddenly found that his reaction was a little too much, he was not facing the healthy spirit of Shi Yu in the past, but a sick Shi Yu.
"Shi Zhe, if I tell you that if you continue to develop this weapon, the beast world is likely to be destroyed, will you still develop it? β
Shi Zhe was a little surprised, these Shi Yu hadn't said it.
"We used to live in a place called Lae, and you and I were both energy engineers, and not only that, but our parents were also energy engineers, and the two families were world friends, and we grew up together. Your dream is to be the best energy engineer in Lae, you want fame, you want profit, you want everyone to know your name. β
Shi Zhe continued to listen.
"As time goes on, Lae's economy takes off, and in order to keep up with Lae's growth, we have to develop more new energy sources. In this case, you and I discovered Ξ² metallic element. The energy generated by this metallic element is very high, and it is extremely costly and extremely efficient. Most importantly, this is our chance to make a splash. However, Ξ² metallic elements were very polluting to the city, and there was no technology to prevent and control this pollution at that time. We had a dispute over the use of Ξ² metal, and I suggested not to use it lightly, but you insisted on using it, and even secretly experimented with it behind my back. β
"You mean to say that the destruction of Lae is all because of me?"
"I'm not entirely sure, but at least it has a lot to do with Ξ² metallic experiments. After the experiment was carried out, a large amount of poison gas appeared in Lae, and along with the gambling gas, some filaments of light appeared in the sky above Lae. β
"You said that about the filament. β
"Yes, you have become a lion man because of your lust for fame and fortune, you have a short temper. In order to become a lion man like you, I deliberately ate, drank, and indulged my desires, and soon became a lion man. Probably because I was sober and had little desire when I was a human being, I still remember the memories of the past, in order not to be assimilated by the living environment of the Lion Country, I practiced chanting the scriptures every day, so that I was able to maintain a clean mind. β
Shi Zhe listened and nodded, he finally understood why he was inexplicably close to Shi Yu, they used to be such close partners, and for his own sake, Shi Yu was even willing to become a lion.
"Actually, you can become the lion king because of your desire and ambition, and because you are capable, but I always feel that it is not impossible for you to remember the past. Maybe when you remember the past, there is still a possibility of restoration. β
"Is it possible to recover? You mean restore Lae. β
Shi Yu nodded: "The answer may be among those Ξ² metal elements, and the bell must be tied to the bell." β
"Over the years, I haven't tried to remember the past, and you've helped me, but it didn't work. What should I do after that? Shi Zhe said that he was very sad here, because he almost thought that Shi Yu was going to die, and if Shi Yu died, who would he rely on to remember the past.
"Even if I'm gone, there's someone else who can help you. "Regarding his impending death, Shi Yu is more comfortable than anyone else.
"Who is it?" Shi Zhe never thought that there was someone else besides Shi Yu who could help him.
"Leia. β
"You mean, that fiancΓ©e of yours. β
Shi Yu nodded.
"You know, you don't have to envy me at all, obviously I've always envied you, you are professional, and you are ......" Shi Yu didn't finish his words, but choked up, "It's a pity to almost marry Laia, but it's much happier than not having it." After all, I didn't come to the Lion Country for nothing, it's worth it. β
Shi Zhe remembered that Shi Yu said that Leia was the woman he loved the most as a human being. Now what does he mean by these words, could it be that Leia didn't love him at all when he was a man?
Shi Zhe looked at Shi Yu and wanted to hear his explanation. I saw Shi Yu muttering, "It's worth it, it's worth it" and then tilted his head to the side, out of breath.
Shi Zhe felt a gentle feeling on his face, and he touched his face with his paws, which turned out to be tears. Shi Zhe never knew what tears were, nor did he know what it felt like to cry. What kind of feeling was that, a heart-wrenching feeling, a feeling of sudden emptiness, a feeling of powerlessness, a feeling of no more love.
Shi Zhe guarded Shi Yu's corpse for a long, long time. He didn't know exactly how long. He didn't know how many tears he shed, but luckily no one saw them. His face was stiff as if he didn't belong to him anymore.
He thought over and over what Shi Yu had told him.
He felt he needed to make a decision.
"Someone. Shi Yu finally figured out what to do.
A lion servant pushed the door in, and at this time the crying marks on Shi Zhe's face had been wiped clean by him, he was still the majestic lion king, no one knew that he had cried, and he cried so fiercely.
"First, treasure General Seyu's body, I want to see his complete body at any time, no matter what method is used. Second, let Shisen suspend the development of Ξ² elemental weapons, and I will explain the reasons to him later. Third, send someone to find out where the woman of Leia that Shiyu was going to before is now. β
"Yes. The servant nodded and stepped back.
"Leia ......," Shi Zhe muttered the name.
Ape Village. Yoshino still has a wanton expression.
The pain of Li Yiheng's injury in the second game seemed to be relieved by half, and the expression on his face was not so painful.
"I said, boy, have you rested enough, can you enter the third game? Liangye said contemptuously in the direction of Li Yiheng.
Li Yiheng stood up with a little difficulty and walked towards Liangye.
"Okay, in fact, you can surrender now, don't hold on, it's not worth it if your body is broken. β
"I could, you say the rules of the third game. β
"Look at your spiritless appearance, let's do it, the third game, group fighting. Of course, you can ask your little pets to help you, and as for the ape-man, they can go on as many as they want. β
"Good. But I need to emphasize to you that Dapeng is Dapeng, he is not my pet. β
"What does it matter, almost. After this battle, you may not have the leisure to worry about this. Alright, let's get started. β
Li Yiheng is too lazy to argue with people like Liangye, and it is undoubtedly a special matter to defend with him. He will use his actions to prove that he Li Yiheng will not lose.
"Wait, you're ready. Dapeng flew to Li Yiheng's side, quickly became larger, and lifted Li Yiheng up. In Dapeng, at least his physical strength does not have to consume too much.
More than a dozen apes on the other side swarmed up. The Roc soared, and the height he was at was just higher than these ape-men. The ape-man used a stick blade to deal with Li Yiheng in a high place, and he always had to raise his arms, which consumed more physical energy, and gradually became a little tired.
The ape changed formation, using the way of the ape in the second game holding the ape, and the height was much higher than before.
It's just that they didn't expect that Dapeng flew up a little more. And at this time, Li Yiheng directly fought with fewer apes than before.
Li Yiheng endured the temperament to wear them down, on the one hand, he had limited physical strength with injuries, and if he still used his strength to fight against his strength as before, I am afraid that he would soon be defeated. On the other hand, the opponent is outnumbered, and it is better to use this way to consume their physical strength almost synchronously, than to fight one by one, so that I don't know when they will be able to fight burnout.
Gradually, these sturdy ape-men became a little sluggish. The ape-man who was holding someone else underneath began to be unsteady under his feet.
"The time has come. Li Yiheng thought secretly.
"Xiao Ding, retreat first, and then rush again. Li Yiheng leaned down and whispered to Dapeng.
Roc obediently retreated, and then swooped down.
Li Yiheng followed the strength of Dapeng and used the umbrella blade to cut off the blades of several apes above. Then, with his other hand, snatch the remaining half of the blade from the ape-man's hand.
"Come again, little tuck. β
From the opposite direction, the Roc continued to rush towards the ape-man.
Li Yiheng stabbed several apes above with the blade. The ape-man cried out and fell from above.
Just dealt with a few apemen, and there were still ten apes waiting for Li Yiheng to deal with.
These ape-men didn't want Li Yiheng to toss them like before, so they preemptively grabbed Dapeng's claws and didn't let it fly high.
Not only can Dapeng not be able to fly high, but he can't even change the angle.
The ape-man slashed at Li Yiheng on Dapeng with his blade. Li Yiheng blocked it with an umbrella shield.
The Roc sank and released its feathers with its wings. Fought off a few ape-men who were tugging at their claws.
An ape-man took the opportunity to jump on Dapeng's back, and Li Yiheng and the two of them met each other in a cramped space.
The Roc deliberately made difficult flying maneuvers in the air, sometimes flying vertically, sometimes upside down, sometimes suddenly decelerating and suddenly slowing down. But Li Yiheng sat steadily, and the ape-man actually held Dapeng tightly and did not move.
Li Yiheng and the ape-man were in a stalemate, no one could attack anyone, and no one fell from Dapeng.
Li Yiheng's brain was running rapidly, thinking about who had any way to kill the ape-man in front of him. Fight a war, fight a war, jump on someone else's partner, it's really annoying enough.
At this time, several darts grazed past Li Yiheng's ears and landed on the ape in front of him.
The ape-man fell from the roc, and Li Yi looked sideways at the ground, and sure enough, it was Laiya. As for the scene just now, Li Yiheng was still a little unfinished, although the dart was small, but when it crossed his ears, he also had this momentum of whistling by. If I suddenly changed my posture at that time, I am afraid that I would be the one who fell from the dart.
"Leia, how can you help him?" Ryono was a little annoyed.
"You said that it was a group fight, and Li Yiheng's partner could help him, is there anything wrong with me being his partner?"
"Okay, okay, Li Yiheng counts you as winning. Leia has all been added, and it's strange if you don't win. Ryono said angrily.
Li Yiheng didn't feel uncomfortable because Laiya Liangye sold his face, but felt that his relationship with Laiya seemed to be back to normal.
"Then I can go. Li Yiheng asked.
"I'm leaving, too. Leia then said.
"Hey. Lea, I really can't bear you, if you want to marry me, I'm always welcome. Alright, I'll send you out. β
Liangye was about to take Li Yiheng and Leia out, when a huge body appeared in front of everyone.
It's the lion king Shizhe.
