Late at night.

Just after the hour, all the fire spirit lamps in the ancient stone platform in the empty city were silently extinguished, leaving only a lonely moonlight, swaying in this thousand-year-old city.

Ye Qingcheng was awakened by a strange dream. After waking up, he found that in the gloomy room, Liu Beishui was standing calmly at the window, bathed in the cold moonlight, silently overlooking the ancient buildings and streets downstairs.

"Why don't you sleep yet?" Ye Qingcheng got up from the bed and asked puzzled.

"Can't sleep. Liu Beishui shook his head.

At this time, Yu Xian, who was leaning against the wall and holding the long sword, smiled slightly and said, "The young master is not used to being so crowded in a room. ”

"Pampered. Ye Qingcheng said helplessly, without blaming.

Liu Beishui has enjoyed the top glory in the world since he was a child, and a group of people sleep in one room, which is inevitably uncomfortable. It's just that here they don't have enough spirit coins to pay for another room.

"Haven't Master Fu and Hua Lao come back yet?" Ye Qingcheng asked.

"If you want to collect all the medicinal materials I want, it will take a while, and it is estimated that it will be tomorrow morning. Liu Beishui said.

"Since you can't sleep, let's go down and take a walk. Ye Qingcheng hugged Lihuo, who was still asleep, put on a black cloth robe, and carried the Xuanxue Sword behind him.

"Good. Liu Beishui didn't even take the cold star gun, and when he saw Yuxian get up, he shook his head and said, "You don't have to go with you, there is no danger here." ”

The ancient city may be eerie, empty, and lonely, but it is perfectly safe without violating the rules here. No one dares to do the slightest evil thing on the territory of the Burning Sky Crocodile.

Around the empty streets, the ancient buildings are silent in the gloomy moonlight.

The two brothers walked calmly. The buildings and shops here were all secluded in the strong men who dominated the side a thousand years ago, but now people go to the empty buildings, only an endless loneliness, guarded by the burning crocodile. The laughter, scolding, chatting and laughing of the past have all disappeared, except for the eternal bright moon, which has shone on the earth for hundreds of millions of years.

"What are you thinking?" Ye Qingcheng turned his head and glanced at Liu Beishui.

"Don't look at my family, I grew up in the most prosperous environment, but I have nothing to remember, except for laughing and laughing. Liu Beishui said: "What about you?

"I'm thinking about my mother. Ye Qingcheng smiled indifferently and said regretfully: "When my mother left me, I already remembered, but I can't recall her appearance anyway. ”

"There are fog zones in human memory. Liu Beishui said: "Generally, the past that makes me sad is mostly vague when I recall it. ”

They talked and walked without any purpose.

However, just as they turned and walked south, they saw a scene outside the south gate of the city.

Outside the south gate of the Hero City, there is a stretch of rock cliff like the "tip of the tongue", and a figure wearing dark red old armor and snow-white scales sits on the edge of the cliff, holding a wine jar and looking at the reckless forest of no return. Beside him, there stood the figure of an old donkey.

It was the Burning Sky Crocodile and Xiaobian, their two old friends, thousands of years after they went to the city, met again, and were looking at the moon to remember the deceased.

However, when Ye Qingcheng walked downstairs to the south gate of the city, he found that Xiao Suo was only one Burning Sky Crocodile, and Xiao Bian had already fallen asleep standing on the edge of the cliff.

The Burning Sky Crocodile drank in silence, his crocodile-like fierce figure looking particularly lonely in the cold moonlight.

The two brothers did not go over, but stood in front of the city gate, quietly waiting for the Burning Sky Crocodile.

After a long time, the Burning Sky Crocodile shook the empty jar, poured the last drop of wine from the jar into his mouth, and then stood up drunkenly and walked towards the city gate.

"Seniors. Ye Qingcheng hugged Lihuo, hurriedly stepped forward, and said, "Although Lihuo is a true fire heavenly demon, but there is no good teacher to guide it, it-"

The Burning Sky Crocodile shook his head and staggered, "Give up." ”

Obviously, this powerful man who has been famous for 2,000 years wants to take his fame and ancient fire spirit skills, as well as all the sorrows, and die here without worry.

This is a heart-wrenching choice, his fire spirit stunt, not to mention that in the Yuntian Continent, that is, the whole world is the best. It would be a sad thing to lose it like this.

"It doesn't matter if humanity will perish in the future. Liu Beishui pleaded: "Once Lihuo grows up, maybe he will become a hero like his predecessors, don't you want your name to be passed on in the world forever?"

"History doesn't need to remember me. The Burning Sky Crocodile staggered into the city gate and said, "I'm just an old crocodile, what I care about is the life, and the future has nothing to do with me." ”

With that, he drunkenly hummed a lonely tune he had made up.

"Half a life is brilliant and half empty, and the dust and smoke are gradually moving away. The turbid wine drinks all the things in the world, and the lonely wind and cold moon hero city ......"

The Burning Sky Crocodile used the tune of the Burning Sky Crocodile and repeatedly hummed the words he had made up. The Ye Qingcheng brothers followed behind him, and they wanted to try again, but they couldn't bear to interrupt him when they heard this chilling old voice.

They followed him unwillingly, and the smell of wine wafting in the air and the simple humming sound walked from the south gate of the city to the north of the city, until a round, quaint ancient house like a small temple appeared in front of them, and then they stopped.

"Half a brilliant life, half an empty life. Liu Beishui spoke again and said, "If you really don't care about the cultivation and deeds of the first life, why do you talk about the glory?"

The Burning Sky Crocodile stopped in front of the old temple-like house, did not turn his head, and said: "That little wild cat is indeed a good seedling, if it was changed a thousand years ago, even if you don't ask for it, I will rush to take it as an apprentice." But...... You two little guys, you don't know how tragic the battle of the North Sea was. At that time, we were fighting the whole world, especially the Shura Sea, and it was far more terrible than the rumors, it was a battle that was bound to be lost, and in the end, we could only fill it with our lives! In that battle, every hero was a strong man who was admired by all people, but in the battle, they were like black fire slaves......

Black fire, a powder that can explode. The Black Fire Slave, a slave who detonates black fire on his body and dies with his enemies.

"Under the leadership of Yun Tian, seventy-two heroes detonated their souls and spiritual sources, and carried this continent in the most tragic way. The Burning Sky Crocodile stood in front of the door and sighed: "This continent is now on the backbone of the old crane, and he can't support it for long." No matter how hard you try, there is no time. ”

"No, I heard some time ago that the Crane Ancestor has begun to become immortals. Ye Qingcheng said.

"He's a half-immortal now. The Burning Sky Crocodile already knew about this, and knew it better than Ye Qingcheng, and said: "But it doesn't help, the mastermind behind the Shura Sea a thousand years ago was an immortal-level character. If it weren't for Yuntian detonating the soul source and seriously injuring him, the battle would have been lost...... Even if the next beast tide erupts, Lao He can withstand that guy's attack, who on this continent can withstand the attack of the rest of the powerhouses in the Shura Sea? Give up, the Yun Clan's resistance is just in vain, and it has no meaning. ”

"How can it be in vain?" Ye Qingcheng retorted: "Don't say that you can buy a thousand years for the mainland, even if you only win one day, it will also be a victory! My master said that failure is just an excuse for himself to escape, and as long as he does not give up, he will never fail!"

"Who is your master?" asked the Burning Sky Crocodile.

"He only told me that his surname was Gumu. Ye Qingcheng said.

"Same surname as Yuntian?" Burning Sky Crocodile hesitated and didn't push open the door, "Where is he?"

"I haven't seen him in person, he only appears in dreams. Ye Qingcheng said: "He taught me the art of taming beasts through Guò Dream Eye. ”

The white-scaled claws stretched out by the Burning Sky Crocodile pressed against the door of the ancient house, and when he heard the sound, his claws twitched and scratched, leaving several scratches on the ancient door.
