"S...... Stanley! ”

Hans looked at the man beside him in horror, his scarred resolute face, and the friendly smile that always hung on his face was exactly the same as Stanley's once been.

"How could it be...... Aren't you already dead? ”

Hans said tremblingly, unable to believe that the old friend in front of him was real, and reached out to Stanley's face with trembling hands. It's like confirming something, and it's like denying something.

"Hey, although I understand that you are very excited to arrive in this legendary Ember Sea now, but you can't be stupid with joy."

Stanley unhappily brushed Hans's hand away, and then rewarded him with a brain break.

"Cheer up, we may be making history."

"Ah...... Good. ”

Hans covered his forehead, the real pain instantly freed his mind from the state of confusion, real and unreal no longer matter to Hans, even if this is hell, Hans intends to follow in the footsteps of his friends in front of him and conquer this windless land with him.

"Well, why are you crying?

Did I hit it too painfully?

Sorry sorry...... But don't be in a daze, it's time to scout the terrain. ”

Before he knew it, the corners of Hans's eyes were already full of teardrops, which made Stanley a little overwhelmed, as a straight man of steel, he couldn't even comfort girls, how could he comfort friends.

"It's okay, let's ...... Let's explore this sea of ashes. ”

Hans wiped away his tears and squeezed out a bright smile, and in this moment, Hans changed from a middle-aged man with a scruffy beard to a sleek and clean sunny teenager.

In the midst of this sea of ashes, they climbed to the rugged rocks, smashed the weak rock formations, found undiscovered ores, and found the bones of their predecessors......

Eventually, the two completed their initial exploration of the Ember Sea.

"Ah, it's really worthy of the legendary forbidden area of life, it's really full of danger."

Stanley sighed.

"Yes, but there are also a lot of secrets buried that the outside world does not know, and there are some ancient ...... here."

Hans said happily, but he was happy not because of the adventure itself, but because of the fact that he was walking with his friends.

"Well, but how are we going to get up?"

Stanley scratched his head and said.

"We rolled down the rope for some reason. How do I get up now? ”

"Ah, this ......"

Hans was a little speechless, and Stanley was obviously a well-known adventurer, but sometimes he was a little off the line. It's been so long since you thought about this?

"But ......"

Hans thought back to his previous experience when he was sent out by a rushing air current, and after a moment of thought, he said, "Hmm...... I don't know Stanley, do you remember the legend about the Ember Sea? ”

"You mean [Demon God's Breath]?"

Stanley reacted quickly, and he immediately thought of the strong air flow that had erupted from the mouth of the cave above, but after a little thought, he quickly vetoed: "No, that thing doesn't have a regular cycle, let's not talk about whether we can catch up with him to come to that eruption point, what if this thing comes out in ten or eight years?" ”

“……。”

Speaking of this, Hans was silent, he remembered the scene when Stanley fell into the abyss in order to save him, there was a bit of pain in his eyes, and just when he wanted to say something, the rock formation under the feet of the two suddenly trembled violently, and a huge figure broke through the rock formation and appeared in front of the two.

I couldn't see the face clearly, I could only see a pair of huge horns and a pair of red eyes, and the tall figure spoke: "Who?" Dare to disturb my sleep. ”

The voice was ancient and majestic, as if it were from an ancient god-king or the master of hell, and a thought flashed through Stanley and Hans's minds at the same time.

"Demon God!"

"Ancient gods, we are adventurers from the Land of the Wind, and we have no intention of disturbing your sleep, but we have accidentally fallen into this bird's ...... Your kingdom of God.

Please don't remember the villain's mistakes and let us go. ”

Stanley said fluently, facing the ancient demon god, Stanley instantly made an ancient etiquette, which was an action he had learned on the mural of a ruin, and it was the basic etiquette used by humans to meet the demon god.

"Oh, are you doing this with a circus clown?"

The "ancient" demon god looked at Stanley, who was in an extremely funny posture in front of him, and said with some amusement.

“！！！？？？”

Cold sweat suddenly oozed from Stanley's forehead, he actually didn't understand the etiquette of the ancient gods very well, after all, it was too complicated, and making this posture was just a gamble, it seemed that he was wrong.

"Oh, no...... Well, I feel your sincerity, but disturbing my sleep also comes at a price.

The ancient demon god, who had been improvised by a certain fish-touching boss, cleared his throat and raised his hand.

With the ...... of the South The words of the ancient demon god fell, and the rock formations around Stanley and Hans's feet shattered one by one, and the steps under the feet of the two suddenly rose a lot, and the two of them rose between the scarlet eyes of the demon god.

"Although it is impossible to kill you, after all, it makes no sense for me to kill the weak, but even if I don't do it, you probably won't survive."

The Demon God's voice began to become illusory and ethereal.

"The distance between the Ember Sea and the sea level is beyond the reach of mortals, and even if you are the world's top climbing experts, you will not be able to climb to the top before you run out of strength."

"The only thing you can rely on is the updrafts from the bottom of the abyss.

Oh, that's what you call the Demon God's Breath. ”

"The demon god breathes, and the updraft ......"

Stanley muttered, "But what are the triggers?" ”

Just as Stanley was pondering, Hans suddenly changed his tone and said flatly:

"When a creature falls, the abyss sends out a response.

Do you remember this sentence, Stanley? ”

These words are the last words engraved on the bones just now...... Wait, do you want to? ”

Stanley recalled for a moment, and suddenly tasted the implicit message in this sentence, and looked at Hans on the side, and found that Hans was looking at him calmly and decisively.

"You know, Stanley, I originally envied you, you have a talent for adventure that I don't have, you have an experience that I envy, you are a legendary adventurer, and I am just a nobody."

Hans...... You. ”

Stanley looked at his friend in some confusion, he had never noticed Hans's thoughts.

"So ......"

Hans hugged Stanley and then separated.

"Let me rescue you this time, Mr. Stanley, the legendary adventurer."

Hans fell into the abyss, opening his hands as if embracing his own death, and Stanley on the stage seemed stunned, not grabbing his friend's hand as he had done last time.

It was still like a plastic bag falling from the tenth floor and constantly falling down in the dark abyss, and finally a cloud of ashes was raised at the bottom of the abyss.
