The sky was cloudy and thunder was rolling. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info I was standing on a cliff looking up at the sky, and I could vaguely see the figure of a giant dragon, it had a white body, a snake-like body, with scales, four eagle-like claws, and a huge body hovering in the sky. At this moment, a giant dragon poked out of the clouds, and saw that it was looking down at me from the sky with two huge horns and a pair of dark blue eyes. I looked at the dragon, didn't speak, just felt a warm feeling in my body, and then the white dragon slowly turned the dragon's head away from me, and flew away into the distant clouds, while I still stood on the cliff and watched it drift away...

Another dream. I opened my eyes and returned to reality.

"Chris, are you awake, how are you feeling, are you feeling any well?" said Anne, who was sitting next to me, delighted when she saw me open her eyes.

"Captain, are you awake? Great, you saved me, and all of us, and now the whole caravan is grateful to you!" said Allen, lying on the side of my bed, sticking out his tongue happily.

"What's wrong with me? Neil, what about them?" I asked, slowly sitting up.

"You've been asleep for three days and three nights, and we're all afraid that you won't wake up, but fortunately, the doctor said that you were just overtired, so you should just stay in bed for a few days. As for Neil, Link, and Emma saying that they are not strong enough, and they are looking for the instructors of the team's A-level combat power for special training!" Anne replied.

"Neal, they're working so hard!" I said to myself.

"Captain, weren't you seriously injured? Why did you become super strong and defeat the Desert Tyrant after nothing? I feel that you were even stronger than the S-class warrior at that time!" Alan asked puzzled.

"I didn't know, I felt like I was going to die, but I didn't want the monster to continue to hurt you, and then I felt like my body was full of strength, and finally I beat the desert tyrant away in one go. I replied, but I didn't say what appeared in front of me, and I don't know why I didn't want to tell them.

At this point, I felt my stomach start to rumble and start to cry, "I'm so hungry!" I said, clutching my stomach.

"I'm hungry, I'll go get you something to eat. "Anne hurried out of the tent, and she was really considerate, I thought to myself.

At this time, Alan threw himself into my arms, raised his head and said to me with tears in his eyes: "Captain, thank you for saving me, if it weren't for you, I would have died!"

Looking at the pitiful appearance of this little boy (especially with a cute puppy), not to mention how cute he was, I touched his head and said, "You are a member of my team, and as the captain, of course I will not let you die." ”

"But," Alan sobbed, "when we encounter an opponent who can't be defeated at all, we as mercenaries are all concerned about our own lives, and we don't care about the lives of others." The last time we met the Desert Tyrant, the captain and the vice-captain all ran for their lives, only Sam and I were lucky not to be targeted by the Desert Tyrant, so we survived, Captain, you are really different from the others!"

"Yes," I looked at him, "maybe, I just know that I can't just throw away my companions." Maybe the law of the desert is to live on your own, but I also have my principle, and my principle is that I will not die for my companions, and I will never allow my companions to die in front of my eyes casually! ”

Alan didn't speak anymore at this time, but hugged me tightly and cried quietly, as if my words deeply touched him, this child must have been quite difficult to survive before!

After filling my stomach (this time for some unknown reason, my food was more than 3 times larger than before, and I basically wiped out all the food that came, and I felt that I wouldn't be full if I didn't eat so much food), I walked out of the tent and breathed in the outside air, it was already morning, the sun was starting to rise slowly in the east, and the yellow sand on the desert was gradually becoming shining. At this time, I saw a familiar figure with a spear walking towards me, it was Bud, a monkey warrior, an A-class spearman, he seemed to have just finished practicing, and he was covered in sweat.

Bard was still the same, carrying his spear on his shoulders and greeting me with a hippie smile: "Hi, young man~ You are awake, now you are a big celebrity, famous far and wide, congratulations!"

"Really?" I asked, not feeling any joy in my heart.

"Well, everyone has heard of your deeds of defeating the Desert Tyrant, with the strength of your B-class warrior, you can defeat that terrifying monster single-handedly and bare-handed, and your eighth squad is also fully surviving, and the caravan you protect does not suffer much loss, and you have successfully arrived at the destination safely, this is really a miracle! Why don't the two of us fight each other and let me see your strength!"

"Okay!" I readily agreed, and I also wanted to see how much my strength had improved now.

"You're not going to be in good health if you just get up and go to a joust, Chris. Anne was there to persuade me.

"It's okay, just a simple look at his strength, it's not too tiring, and it's not dangerous, if you're worried, it's better to come with him, you say stop, we'll stop, how about it, the girl who cares about Chris?" Bard said with a grimace.

"Hmph, you said, you have to stop when I call it a stop. Anne blushed and pulled Bard and me towards the tent for the battle.

When I came to the tent, I saw that Neil and Link were fighting against their opponents, sweating like rain, very hard, even Emma was practicing the attack technique of the rapier, which was quite surprising, she usually looked lively and cheerful, but I didn't expect that now she is also starting to get serious. Life in the mercenary group, no, after the Desert Tyrant incident, it is estimated that it has sounded the alarm for everyone, if your strength is not good, not only will you not be able to save your companions when you encounter danger, but you will not even be able to save yourself.

At this point, Link saw me coming in to change into my training clothes, stopped fighting, gestured to Neil and Emma, and came to me with them.

"Chris, are you training when you wake up? It's too reluctant, you should get some rest in bed. Emma said.

"Hehe, aren't you the same, practicing hard here? I'm just going to practice with Instructor Bud to see what my current strength is?" I replied with a smile.

"Well, it's very informative, let's take a look at your extraordinary performance at that time!" Link said thoughtfully as he posed his old pose, his left hand propped up his right hand, and his right hand pinched his chin.

"Chris, pay attention to your body, don't force yourself, if you really can't do it, call a timeout!" Neil said with concern next to him.

I nodded, grabbed my training spear and walked over to the platform to start fighting Bard.

The result of the battle was a big surprise, my strength basically didn't improve much, and if I looked for Bud, I still couldn't beat him, but my explosive power increased, and I could use the fast-moving move of "Shadow Wind God Legs", but it still didn't reach the level of an A-rank fighter, which made me quite frustrated.

"How is this possible?" I said to myself, the movements that used to be as light as a swallow could not be done at all.

"Maybe your body hasn't recovered yet, maybe the internal structure of your body is different, when you bear a certain degree of heavy damage, you can stimulate your inner potential, reach a level dozens of times beyond ordinary people, and even reach the level of S-class warriors or above. Bard analyzed, then patted me on the shoulder with a grin and said, "Young man, if I don't beat you to a serious injury, maybe you will be able to become a super warrior by then!"

"No! how could Chris be allowed to do such a risky thing?" Before I could shake my head and refuse to do such a dangerous human experiment, Anne, who had been standing quietly behind me, began to speak, looking at Bard disapprovingly.

"Hee-hee, I'm just a little proposal, just kidding, don't take it seriously, the girl who cares about Chris!" Bard said with a wink, turning Anne's face flush again.

"However, according to my hindsight, most of the armor on Chris's body was shattered, and he should have been hit quite strongly at that time, the Desert Tyrant's attack was too strong, he was able to stand in front of me unscathed, and he also beat the Desert Tyrant away, which really surprised me. Bard said, dragging his chin as he walked over to the edge of the tent and removed a large horn—the one broken from the desert tyrant's head. He then continued: "Such a hard thing, stronger than the defense of steel, was actually interrupted by your bare hands, there must have been the level of an S-class warrior at that time, but you are only at the level of the original B-level warrior now, such an unstable state can only be rated as B+ for your level now, haha~" He changed his words and said: "No matter what, Chris, you still have potential strength, practice diligently, and after mastering the method, you will definitely become a warrior no worse than Roy." ”

After listening to this, I nodded silently, and suddenly gained confidence again.

For the next week or so, I continued to learn from Bud and learned from him, and I had the pleasure of training with Big Brother Roy and Instructor David when I was a student, and it was a great time to sweat and sweat.

It was another evening after a day of training, and I was finally free, and I was holding a paintbrush to paint the desert scenery of the sunset. At this moment, a gentle female voice sounded behind me: "How beautiful!" I looked back and found Anne standing quietly behind me alone.

I smiled and replied, "yes, it's a beautiful view, so I want to paint it, and it's good to calm my mind by painting once in a while." ”

Anne slowly walked up to me and sat down, and said, "Not only do I say that the scenery is beautiful, but also that the paintings you have drawn are also beautiful. I was stunned for a moment, and continued to smile and said, "Thank you for the compliment, I don't usually have any hobbies, I just like to do squats and draw a few pictures." ”

"You're a weird person, different from everyone else, but I can see that you have your own goals and plans, and unlike others who are standing still, you're moving forward with passion. ”

"No, I'm just using my usual time to enrich my life, and it's not a big goal. I said from the bottom of my heart.

Anne didn't say anything more, just sat quietly and looked ahead.

“......”

“...”

"Don't you regret coming here with us to suffer? I was the first to break the silence and asked cautiously, lest I would weep when I touched Anne's heart.

"No, although I don't want my parents to worry about me, I am also choosing my own life and choosing my companions. Anne turned to look at me, "This is the path I chose, and I don't regret it." ”

I saw the tenderness and perseverance in Anne's eyes, and I couldn't help but look at her, as if there was no sunset, no desert, no mercenary camp in the world at this moment, only us looking at each other in the vast desert...

"I'll paint for you!" Finally, I looked away and lowered my head, after all, I am not the kind of person who can spend so long alone with a girl, I want to communicate with her in a more relaxed way, and proposed in a consultative tone.

"Okay!" Anne tidied up her hair, brushed the windswept hair to her ear with her hand, and looked at the desert in front of her with a smile, while I concentrated on painting on her side, feeling incomparably calm and tranquil at that moment, and the girl in the painting was also so contented, like a fairy who did not eat the fireworks of the world and stopped in the desert...

"Hi~~ Chris, come here, there's big news for you!" Suddenly, Emma sprang out of the camp and shouted to me.

Anne and I turned around at the same time, and I looked at Emma who was panting and asked, "What is it that makes you so excited?"

I only heard Emma panting and saying, "Your eldest brother... Roy... Captain Carlo... They... Say... Found it... His... Clues!"
