"Your teacher?" the girl's clear eyes lit up, "then you should miss them a lot." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Joseph pursed his lips and quickly responded vaguely, "Eh, it's okay......"

Seeing his flickering words, Su Ya felt a little strange in her heart, so she didn't ask anymore.

It was Joseph who looked at the beautiful eyes of the girl reflected in the firelight, and said with some curiosity: "Actually, I have always had a question for you...... Why do you wear a face shield all the time?"

The girl's brow furrowed, she didn't expect Jose to suddenly ask about this. José noticed that her eyebrows and eyes were clear, even if she frowned slightly, she couldn't help but feel a trace of pity, thinking that she should be a beautiful girl...... Just, why does she wear a mask all the time?

"It's nothing," Su Ya said lightly, "just to avoid some unnecessary trouble." ”

José thought of the steppe people who chased and killed Su Ya, presumably she was trying to hide her face from being recognized by others.

Su Ya glanced at José and shook her head, "It's just that there is no need for this now, it's ridiculous to say, when did my Ellios family hide their heads like this." With a bit of pride and disdain in his tone, he reached into his helmet and took off his mask.

When Jose saw the girl for the first time, her eyes lit up, and she immediately understood what she meant by "avoiding unnecessary trouble":

Su Ya is very beautiful!

This was the first thing José felt after she took off her mask.

Clear and deep eyes, a pair of slender and slender eyebrows, a tall and delicate nose, under a small and delicate red lips, Su Ya's skin is fair and delicate, even at night, it looks so beautiful!

It's just that under the long golden hair, the girl's beautiful face has a hint of arrogance and indifference.

Jose was a little surprised, and Su Ya only frowned, but her eyes were a little cold, "Have you seen enough?"

Jose was stunned for a moment, only then did he realize that something was wrong, and suddenly coughed a little embarrassed: "I just didn't expect you to be so good-looking......"

Su Ya didn't seem to react much when she heard him say this, and the little affection she had just had for this strange boy gradually faded: it seemed that he was just a womanizer.

She just stared at Jose with a blank expression, "You think I'm ugly, don't you?"

"No, I just think you're quite cold," Jose muttered quietly, but then glanced at Su Ya again, but there was a little more calm in his eyes.

"I'm not a gentleman, but at least I won't take advantage of others," José bowed his head as if talking to himself, "and don't trust me too much as a stranger - your sword is in the car, and a pretty girl should be cautious." After all...... Not everyone is as easy to deceive as the leader of the steppe people. ”

After Qiao Se finished the last sentence, he looked at Su Ya with a relaxed face, regardless of her surprised expression, and said lightly, "It's still the old rule, you sleep in the car, and I watch the fire vigil." With that, he drew a burning branch from the fire and walked aside.

As soon as Su Ya heard Qiao Se's words, her heart sank suddenly, and she couldn't help but look at Qiao Se's back, her expression was a little complicated.

Could it be that he already knows?

Su Ya knew very well that she had been trying to recover her fighting spirit in the past few days, meditating non-stop every day, and she had done everything she needed to do. But what worried her still happened: no matter how hard she tried, her strength seemed to sink into the sea, and her mental strength recovered very slowly.

Su Ya is very smart and cautious, although she can see that Jose does not know any martial arts, and has also seen her own methods, she should not do anything dangerous.

But after all, he was only a stranger who had known him for less than half a month, and although he also intended to get some news out of his mouth, he always said some nouns that she couldn't understand.

After a few times, although Su Ya was not so wary of him, it was not so simple to say that he was completely at ease with Jose, after all, there were too many strange things about this strange boy.

For example, the night before, he had taken out a short stick-shaped thing, and it actually emitted a pillar of light in the night! it was magic, and to her surprise, like the thing that suddenly burst into flames, she didn't sense any magic fluctuations.

Although it doesn't seem to be lethal, it seems to be just a lighting "magic", but there are so many mysterious "magic props", which has surprised Su Ya.

At first, she also suspected that Jose was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, but as they got along for a long time, Su Ya believed that he might not really be a magician, for the simple reason that he did not have any magic fluctuations on him. She also tried to test him with her mental power, but Suya was disappointed - she still couldn't sense anything.

"A mysterious boy who doesn't know magic, but has a lot of weird magic items. ”

This is the definition that Su Ya gave to José in her heart. And Qiao Se didn't know at all that it was just a flashlight, and it had already made Su Ya, a genius girl with dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, evoke infinite associations, and already saw her strength as mysterious.

Based on this, the girl's attitude towards Jose was more or less cautious, sometimes she could tell him a lot of common knowledge about the mainland that Jose didn't know, and sometimes she couldn't help but be full of doubts about this strange guy.

However, after listening to Jose's words just now, although Su Ya was very surprised, she was faintly relaxed in her heart: It turned out that he had already known that I was pretending to be tough.

Although he sees through it now, it can at least be believed that he really has no malicious intent. Especially when he saw himself just now, although he was amazed, Su Ya really didn't see anything else in his eyes.

At the very least, this guy should be something to be trusted. Su Ya looked at Joseph's back, stood up, and silently returned to the car.

Jose looked back at the iceberg beauty who had returned to the car, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, "Alas, it seems that no matter what world it is, women are strange creatures......"

was silent all night, and in the next few days, Su Ya's injuries gradually showed signs of improvement, and the relationship between the two slowly became familiar.

José would ask Su Ya about some customs of the Ceylon continent after eating or hurrying, and Su Ya was not as cold as before, but she often explained José's doubts.

However, the quiet atmosphere only lasted for a few days.

In the afternoon, José, who was walking in front of the carriage, suddenly noticed that the sky in the distance had darkened. In the usually dry and hot desert air, you can already feel gusts of hot wind flowing.

"Not good," exclaimed Jose. Even if he had no experience, he could see that something was wrong, and Su Ya in the car had already stood up and looked.

When she saw the huge black vortex in the air that seemed to swallow half of the sky, Su Ya said with a somewhat ugly face: "It's a desert storm, it looks like it's moving this way...... It's not too far, we have to avoid it quickly!"

Jose's face was gloomy and he was thinking about what to do, but Su Ya had already gotten out of the car with her sword. She walked to the front of the carriage and without hesitation slashed the rope that held the cart and the horse in place. José was taken aback and hurriedly shouted, "You are crazy, why did you cut the rope?"

Su Ya ignored Jose, and just said in a deep voice: "It is impossible for us to run through the storm with the carriage, and now only the strong man has broken his wrist." ”

José looked at Su Ya, who was a little resolute, gritted his teeth, and took out his backpack from the car and put it on his back. When he turned around, Su Ya was already on the horse, but he was a little helpless: "I don't know how to ride a horse......"

Su Ya frowned, reached out and pulled Jose hard, throwing him behind him with the help of horsepower.

"Sit tight. Su Ya's eyes radiated a hint of essence, and she turned the horse's head and rushed out in the direction of the storm vertical......

About half an hour later, the two ran to the side of a rocky mountain. At this time, Joseph, who was sitting behind the horse, was already uncomfortable by the bumpy pace of the horse, but looking at Su Ya, who was silent, she had to endure the discomfort and try her best to hold on to her armor so that she didn't fall off the horse.

Su Ya seemed even more strange and didn't blame Jose for anything. It was only when he looked at the shadows on the horizon that he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and Lerma stopped aside. Qiao Se was just about to say something, but saw Su Ya's body lowered, and she slowly collapsed. Jose was taken aback, and subconsciously reached out to wrap her arms around Su Ya's waist, barely letting her fall.

Clumsily climbed off the horse, and José found that the unconscious Su Ya had a pale face, obviously because of the wound that had just healed from a wild run. Fortunately, there was no bleeding, so it shouldn't be a big deal, but I was a little short of breath and passed out in a coma.

Jose had no choice but to carry Su Ya on her back and lead the horse before looking around.

It appears to be a rocky mountain of rocky gravel, and the mountain is very tall. The rock wall is a rusty red color, which has been eroded by the wind and sand for many years, revealing layers of textured structure. And there are some sparse weeds and shrubs in the valley, which looks very similar to the valley encountered half a month ago.

But what worries Jose is that there is no river in this valley, which means that they are now without a source of water for supplies. José pulled out his backpack, and in addition to a few tools, there were only a few bags of compressed biscuits and a few bottles of water, which seemed to be only enough to last a few days.

Jose walked into the valley, already a little tired and out of breath, and with difficulty put down Suya, he simply sat on the ground, gasping for breath. As soon as he took out a bottle of water, he suddenly remembered something, smiled bitterly, and put the water back in.

It seems that Su Ya is right, my physique is really too bad, and I am tired of even doing this little thing. Qiao Se thought a little helplessly, looked at Su Ya who was unconscious, and shook his head.

He first found a clearing and made sure that there were no snakes and rats nearby, so he formed a circle with a few stones and dead branches, picked up some hay, took off his coat and put it on the haystack.

After doing all this, he carefully placed Su Ya on it, and led the horse to the edge of the weeds in the valley and bolted it.

Looking at the silent valley, there was always a faint uneasiness in Joseph's heart. Even a few days ago in the desert where no grass grows, he didn't feel such a strong sense of discomfort.

He circled the valley again before returning to his place with some solemnity.

"Sure enough......" Jose's face turned ugly, suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, he still picked up a bunch of dead branches, lit a fire, and decided to stay by Su Ya's side first.

Just when a fire was about to burn out, Su Ya slowly opened her eyes with some weakness. Joseph was adding wood to the fire, and when he saw that she was awake, a slightly happy look appeared on his face.

"You're finally awake. Jose sighed softly, and seeing that she was a little confused, he explained, "You were so tired just now that you passed out. We are now in a valley. ”

Su Ya quickly sobered up, and after learning about the situation, her expression was also slightly serious. "Perhaps, we can find spring water or food in this valley. Suya suggested. "After all, it's easier to survive here than in the desert. ”

"We'd better get out of here early tomorrow morning," Joseph said firmly, with an irresistible seriousness, "something is wrong with this valley. ”

"Oh?" Hearing José say this, Su Ya was also slightly vigilant, but everything was quiet, and even the slight sound of the desert night breeze could be heard.

"...... here" Suya looked at Jose thoughtfully, but he looked out deeply.

"Don't you feel it yet?" José shook his head, his eyes a little more uneasy, "the biggest anomaly here is that it's too ...... Be quiet. ”

When Su Ya heard him say this, she really felt a little strange. Even in the desert, insects and animals can be heard chirping at night, but in this valley, it is as silent as a cemetery.

"Today I went around the valley," José had a strange look on his face, "and it turned out that there wasn't even a snake, a lizard, or even a rat here, except for a few insects!"

"I want to ...... We may well have strayed into the territory of some ferocious animal, so that there are not even other animals here. José licked her dry lips, "Of course, it's possible that I didn't pay attention, anyway...... We'll get out of here early tomorrow morning. ”

At this moment, Su Ya seemed to have thought of something, and her face suddenly became ugly:

"Could it be...... Those guys?"
