【West Aslan Empire・Rennes Sea】
The blazing bonfires were hunted by the sea breeze, and the tumbling sparks were constantly blown up by the wind, drifting to the distant sea, and finally disappeared into the vast night.
"After looking for more than four years, I finally have a bit of an eyebrow. It's also a gain, otherwise, it's really a waste of so many days. [Apostle of the Earth] Zanghe said with a slightly wry smile as he added firewood to the bonfire. He looked at the moonlit sea, the sparkling surface of which was like shimmering silver.
"It's not a waste, in the past few years, the two of us have almost run most of Yaslan, and we can almost be regarded as experts in the humanities and history of most of the National Geographic. The world is full of wind and dust, but I have also found a lot of interesting places, haven't you?" [Apostle of the Sea] Shu Hai looked at his younger brother in front of him, who had almost the same face as himself, and said with a smile, "At least we know that the 'floating spring' can breathe directly under the water, it's amazing." I think when you fell, I was half scared to death. ”
"The spring at the bottom of the lake, I wanted to go back and see it again, at that time I felt that the concentration of golden soul mist near the spring under the water was particularly high, but I couldn't use the 'Sisya' fruit in the water, so I couldn't judge it accurately. I don't know, what kind of powerful Horcruxes or soul beasts are down there? Zanghe rubbed his eyebrows, the sea breeze blew the ends of his hair, the firelight illuminated his forehead, his hair and eyebrows were extraordinarily thick, and he looked particularly energetic, "But, brother...... You said that we are two brothers for a few years. Is it worth it? Wang Jue took Lu Jue by his side every day, and he also taught him all kinds of soul arts, took him to various places, strengthened his physique, looked for all kinds of rare and exotic herbs to transform his body structure, and taught him to practice various high-level soul arts. He even helped him capture such a large number of electric foxes...... As for the two of us, we have been busy looking for the Sixth Degree Lord for the past few years, but we have almost no time to spend with Chila...... I feel like the king, a little eccentric......"
"Don't think about it so much, Zanghe, the prince has his own arrangements. Lu Jue is naturally smart and has outstanding soul power, and it is also a good thing that he can get stronger and stronger. From the day we became once apostles. We should know our fate, right?Of the three of us, one of us will always become a prince and will carry on the lives of the other two together, isn't it?And don't you think that in the process of traveling around in the past few years, we have encountered many dangers, and we have also encountered many powerful soul beasts, and our own soul skills are also improving?" Shu Hai looked at his younger brother's slightly depressed face. Some distress rose in my heart. In fact, sometimes in his heart, it will be like a Tibetan river. felt that Qi La only had Lu Jue in his eyes, and the two brothers, for Qi La, maybe they were just passers-by, or to put it more cruelly, just Lu Jue's "nourishment".
"Brother. I heard them say......" Zanghe looked at the leaping firelight, his face staggered between light and darkness, his expression was not real, but his voice sounded with a very palpable sadness. "Most of the one-time princes ended up letting the Apostles of Heaven inherit the position of kings, while the Apostles of the Earth and the Apostles of the Sea died silently in the end...... No one remembers them...... Brother, is that so?"
"Don't talk nonsense. Shu Hai stretched out his hand and rubbed his brother's hair, the distress in his eyes became a little thicker, "Do you remember what Chila said to us when we were sixteen years old, when we had just become a one-time apostle, he said, 'Princes and apostles, you must always be ready to sacrifice your life for the silver priests and emperors, and for the people of Aslan. If the banner is not bright enough, then let us wipe the glory with blood, and if the throne is not strong enough, then use our corpses to lay the foundation for it. 'Princes and apostles never lived for themselves. ”
"I know that. Throw your head, spill your blood, die on the battlefield, live and die with soul beasts, and finally insert your own shining Horcruxes as a tombstone in your grave. This is our glory. If our lives are harvested by the enemy on the battlefield, I will have no regrets or regrets. It's just that...... If it were only because Lord Chila didn't choose the two of us, we would have died silently because of it, and no one would ever mention it again......" Zanghe became quieter and quieter, and finally sighed and looked at the bonfire in silence.
"This is also the unique mission of our one-time apostle, if we need our death to achieve a new one-degree prince with the peak of soul power, then at least our sacrifice is also worthwhile, and our soul path will continue to survive in the new one-time prince, isn't it?" Shu Hai showed a stretched smile, and his pupils seemed to be churning with another black sea.
Zanghe turned his head and looked at Shu Hai, who was red-faced by the firelight, since he was a child, he was more sensible than himself, and he has been taking care of himself, but Shu Hai is actually a twin brother with himself, the same age, but sometimes he feels like his father. Thinking like this, Zanghe nodded a little embarrassedly, and seemed to be infected by the look on Shu Hai's face, revealing a relieved smile.
"But brother, don't you think it's strange, about the soul power of the Sixth Degree Prince......" Zanghe changed the subject, looked at Shu Hai and said seriously.
"Do you mean this soul power?" the expression on Shu Hai's face also became serious.
"yes...... We followed the looming spirit power all the way here, and the closer we got to the island, the more obvious it became. Obviously, Siliur, the Lord of the Sixth Degree, must be on this island. Now I can sense his soul power very clearly, but I can't tell the source of this soul power, as if it is wrapped in the center of the soul power, if this is the case, then Siliul should be standing in front of us. Moreover, this soul power is really ...... It's just too big...... It's so big that it's beyond the range of soul power that a normal lord can have, like ...... It's like ......" Zanghe stopped at this point, as if it was a little hard to imagine what he was going to say next.
"It's like, this entire island is the body of Syruel, so that the soul power can be emitted in such a large area, right?" Shu Hai took the words of the Tibetan River.
"Yes!" Zanghe nodded earnestly, but immediately shook his head again. "But that's ridiculous, no one's soul power can be so powerful enough to spread such a vast area...... Even Qi La's soul power has never been so strong. ”
"Well, anyway, when it gets dawn, Qila and Lujue should be there. When the time comes, ask the king. If you have lacquer pulling, you don't have to worry. Go to bed early. Shu Hai said to Zanghe.
"Hmm. I heard that Lu Jue captured the electric fox, but I haven't had a chance to see it. Now you can take a good look, it's really exciting. Imagine that when Lu Jue was fighting, he was surrounded by hundreds of snow-white foxes with golden electricity, and he felt very powerful. Hey, I don't know when Lord Chila will allow the two of us to capture soul beasts. I, I must catch a dragon to be my soul beast when the time comes, and it must be a flying dragon!Haha, brother, you will have to help me then!" The heroic face is a naughty look like a teenager.
"You, you can only catch a kitten and follow you. Shu Hai raised his eyebrows and squinted to tease him.
The cold sea breeze blew on the faces of the two young men, and the wind brought with it the damp smell of the vast sea.
The moonlight and starry sky, the sky is high and the sea is wide, and they are small in the vastness, and they are one of the most noble and prominent people in the world, but at this moment. They seem so ordinary and gentle, like all longing teenagers. Looking forward to tomorrow when the sun rises.
The bonfire had burned out the firewood, and only the red sparks that had shone and faded with the sea breeze were still flickering in the darkness.
The Tibetan River and Shuhai sleep in a naturally formed cave on a mountain cliff.
Shukai had planned to find some dead grass or leaves to spread on the ground, but the island was very strange, with only jagged rocks and occasional snow. In addition, the whole island is devoid of grass, not only plants, but also animals are rarely seen. Hermit crabs, sea drops, etc., which are common on ordinary islands, are also completely unseen. It was as if the whole island was shrouded in a strange power. Leave no life close. So, they had to find a sheltered cave and lie on the hard rock for the night. Fortunately, neither of them minded, in the past few years, in order to find Syruel, they have been to far more harsh environments than now.
"Bang-"
Shu Hai, who had slept relatively lightly, was suddenly awakened by a noise, which sounded like the sound of someone stepping on a stone. Shu Hai turned over, and suddenly felt a faint wetness under him, he reached his hand to his back and touched it, feeling some liquid oozing out of the rock crevice, but it was not very like sea water, and there was a sticky feeling. He brought his hand to his eyes, but the light in the cave was too dim to see anything, but he smelled a very distinct fishy smell.
Shu Hai sat up from the darkness, and when he just lay down, he clearly remembered that the ground was dry? Could it be the high tide? Shu Hai turned to look at the Tibetan River beside him, and his younger brother was still breathing heavily, obviously still asleep.
Shu Hai got up, put his cloak on his brother, and then turned around and walked slowly towards the outside of the cave, his expression gradually becoming solemn.
The night outside the cave is illuminated by the starry sky, taking on an eerie inky blue color.
In the surrounding darkness, a few traces of soul power can be felt almost indiscernibly, this type of soul power Shu Hai has never encountered, not even a similar one, this kind of soul power seems to have a kind of cold that belongs to the night, and with the sharpness of a blade. The soul path carvings on Shu Hai's body emerged from his body, and his arms seemed to be plated with a layer of golden tattoos.
He knew that the danger was near.
"Hello......" A faint woman's voice in the air, like a fragrant epiphany blooming in the night.
Shu Hai turned his head, and on the high black cliff, a woman's figure loomed, she was wearing a black gauze long skirt, the sides of the long skirt were high and forked, the wind blew her skirt up and down, like a blooming water lily, her snow-white and slender thighs showed a kind of seductive charm in the dark night. Her neckline was open low, and her soft breasts were as white as her thighs, towering in her clothes, as if soft clouds were swollen in her gauze skirt. A cloud just moved away, the moonlight sprinkled on her face, Shu Hai saw her face clearly, this was the most beautiful and moving woman he had ever seen in his life, her warm and moving eyes seemed to contain a thousand brilliant stars, her delicate lips were like petals rubbed by her hands, and her face was filled with an expression that seemed to be nothing, similar to pain and similar to pleasure, full of guilty flirting.
Shu Hai's face suddenly turned red, and he felt the blood in his body boiling, and he looked away embarrassedly, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to tell you two something......" The woman gently rose and fell on the cliff several times, and stood opposite Shuhai, her body was extremely light and amazingly fast.
"The two of us?"
"Yes, isn't there another ...... in the cave over there," the woman raised her hand to cover the corner of her mouth, and smiled softly as if embarrassed.
A trace of surprise flashed through Shu Hai's heart, because at this moment, the Tibetan River was still a long distance away from him, and he was completely asleep, and there was almost no soul power flowing in his body, this woman could actually sense his presence......
"But that's okay, don't worry, I've got another friend who has already told him, and you both must know at the same time. No one will be left behind. Hee-hee. The woman smiled softly, and she moved closer to Shu Hai, who could almost smell the fragrance of orchid and musk between her delicate lips and teeth.
When Shu Hai heard this, he turned around and swept towards the cave quickly.
A premonition of danger suddenly rose in his heart, and he didn't want to get entangled with this woman.
Countless flowing and distorted white lights flickered, and countless huge flying white satin caught up with him from behind Shu Hai, blocking his path, and the white silk seemed to be a living python, suddenly turning back and wrapping itself in one by one. Shu Hai pressed his toes a little harder, and jumped out lightly, in the air, he quickly and agilely stretched out his hand and shook it towards the sea water not far away, and in an instant, countless ice arrows shot towards those silks, but ......
As if a stone had sunk into the sea, all the ice arrows were gently rolled up by those silks, and disappeared without a trace.
Shu Hai's heart sank suddenly.
"I said you......" He suddenly felt a soft and fragrant body on his back, and he didn't need to turn around to look, he also knew that at this moment, the beautiful woman's chest was tightly pressed against him, and the touch of soft skin made Shu Hai's heart beat faster. A certain part of Shu Hai's body is uncontrollably changing.
"Why are you so careless, casually exposing such an important thing to others......" The woman whispered softly in Shu Hai's ear in a coquettish and pitying voice, and as she spoke, her hands slid into Shu Hai's robe like two soft water snakes, sticking to his muscular waist.
"What is it?" Shu Hai asked distractedly.
Her hands slid swiftly downward, "[Seal]." ”
Before he could react, the position of the [Jue Seal] in his lower abdomen was stabbed into several cold sharp blades at lightning speed, and an unbearable sharp pain pierced his mind, and Shu Hai's whole person slammed into the ground.
The woman ruffled her hair, her eyes staring at the end of the night in a daze, her pupils tumbling with a terrifying white mist, and the smile on her face looked terrifying.
And the most terrifying thing is in the gauze skirt on her chest, at this moment, several sharp blades glowing with cold light are shrinking back into her body with a "bang", as if a giant insect is tearing open her chest and devouring it.
"Oh, he's really, after so many years, he still hasn't changed. She looked at the location of the cave in the distance and suddenly smiled softly, "...... It's bloody......"
The white silk that rolled all over the sky gradually rewrapped around her body, transforming into a black skirt.
