After flying for a day and a night, Xuanwu's spaceship carried everyone and finally arrived at the junction of the Central Continent and the Western Continent - the Valley of the Countercurrent.

"No wonder it's called the Valley of the Countercurrent, it turns out that there is really a magical scene of going upstream!" said Mi Guo, who had never been far away, and felt very curious about many things in front of him.

"This world is very big and mysterious, there are many magical things that we have not seen, have not experienced and cannot understand, only by feeling and understanding all of these and knowing the secrets behind them, can we truly understand the world and strengthen ourselves, which can be regarded as the practice and test that martial artists who want to survive in the troubled times should go through. Hemingway said as he stood beside Mi Guo and looked at the landscape below.

"I see. Mi Guo listened to Hemingway's words and was very touched.

The spaceship slowly landed on the top of a mountain above the Grand Canyon, and everyone stepped off the spaceship and walked outside, breathing in the rare natural air and stretching their muscles.

Not only them, but Fuxing also supported the drunkard, Catwoman pulled the mammoth, and even the weak Hegel, who had been lying on the bed to recuperate, also walked out. The group came to the middle of a green meadow, where flowers could be seen.

"There are flowers!" Only at this time will Catwoman forget to fight and regain her feminine side again, and the mammoth also plucks a flower and hands it to Catwoman.

"It's really a flower!" Catwoman looked at the little flower in her hand and smiled from ear to ear.

"It's really great here, why don't we make a home here?" said King Huo Li, who didn't look so vicious.

"No, the master's leg is broken, and I have to send the master back. Fuxing said while holding the drunkard.

"I'm really sorry, but your dream of stardom was shattered. The drunkard looked at Fuxing and said.

"So, you'll have to teach me this time!" Fuxing said with a smile to the drunkard.

"I'm about to set off, and sure enough, I still prefer freedom as a family from all over the world, and with my ability, it's not so easy for the world government to catch me. Hemingway said as he looked at the rushing stream.

"Uncle Hemingway, can I travel around the world with you, I also want to see what the world is really like. Mi Guo said to Hemingway.

"Well, if you're not afraid of being bored with me. Hemingway agreed to him.

"Then you, Hegel, do you want to go with me, I haven't repaid you for saving me!" Hemingway said to Hegel, who was watching the scene in the distance.

"No, I'm going to stay here and continue to cultivate. I've lost the ability to become a beast now, but I'm still a warrior, if I can't transform, just train my body to be stronger, don't forget, the duel between me and you is not over yet!" Hegel said and glared back at Hemingway, causing Hemingway to spread his hands and put on a very helpless pose.

"Hehe, the hot face is attached to the cold ass. Ye Fei, who was on the side, saw Hemingway's expression and said with a smile.

"Well, I'll stay with Hegel and practice with him. King Huo Li said.

"I'm going home, I've been away from home for so long, I've been tossing around for so long, and in the end it's still empty, so I'll go back to forging swords. Ye Fei plucked a blade of grass, put it in his mouth, and unexpectedly blew out a melodious tune, which resounded throughout the valley.

"It's pretty good!" said to Ye Fei, and also pulled out a blade of grass, learning from Ye Fei, but there was only a "hiss" blowing sound.

"If you want to learn, I'll teach you!" Ye Feiyang said to Nero with the blade of grass in his hand.

"Where are you going?" asked Nero.

"Oh, of course I want to go back to my master and continue my practice. Being able to meet so many friends this time, and being able to fight side by side with you, is the most precious treasure for me, and it really gives me a great harvest, and I am afraid that I will never forget it in my life, I will not forget that we share weal and woe, I will not forget our common hatred, and I will not forget our friendship and trust!" said Nero as he looked at Zhu Ping'an.

"Yes, we are really lucky not to die in this catastrophe. Thanks to Zhu Ping An and your partner, of course it should be my partner now. Catwoman walked up to Zhu Ping'an and said to him with a serious and sincere face, "Thank you!"

"Yes, thank you, and I wish you peace!" Mammoth also walked over to thank Ping'an.

"I owe you a favor again. I wish you peace, you bastard, I owe you three favors now, but how can I pay it back!" Although King Huo Li scolded and scolded, he did have a grateful smile on his face.

"Mammoth is incapacitated now, no different from ordinary people, he lost his ability to protect me, so in return, I must keep him safe now. Catwoman walked up to Mammoth and said, "I've decided to go back to my hometown with him." ”

"So you're in love?" asked Mi Guo with a smile.

"Of course not, didn't I say it, I'm just repaying the favor, I won't marry a weaker man. Catwoman said as she looked at the mammoth and pouted.

"That's not likely, I'm still alive and well, maybe I'll become stronger than you in the future, anyway, I've already decided, I have to marry you. When Mammoth heard Catwoman's words, he quickly raised his head to refute him and spoke his mind.

"Then it's up to you to behave in the future!" Catwoman said, turning her head away, a blushing smile on her face.

"By the way, Nero, you always mention your master, who is your master, which is the master of the world?" Fuxing asked Nero.

"I can't say this, the master won't let me reveal anything about him. Nero scratched his head and replied embarrassedly.

"It's so mysterious, it must be a remarkable person, right?" asked King Huoli.

"Actually, I don't know much about my master, I just know that his name is Gandharva, and the rest of the time it's a simple master-apprentice relationship. "Nero only revealed a pitiful amount of information about his master.

Seeing that everyone had their own whereabouts, Xuanwu hurriedly walked to Zhu Ping'an's side and pulled his cuffs, signaling him to quickly explain the truth to everyone, hoping that some of these people could help Ping'an.

Ping An understood what Xuanwu meant, nodded, took a step forward, and said to everyone, "Everyone, I have something to say to you. ”

All of a sudden, there was silence. Everyone was prick up their ears and stared at Zhu Ping'an without blinking, wondering what he was going to say.

Ping An looked around at everyone, paused for about a few seconds, and finally spoke: "Originally, I wanted to tell you something about me, but now that everyone has their own choices and destinations, I just want to say to everyone, I hope that our friendship, no matter how far apart, whether it is a thousand mountains or thousands of rivers, can retain the bond between us." Everyone, take care, and I look forward to seeing you again one day. ”

Xuanwu didn't expect Ping An to say such a thing, and looked at him in surprise. But Laura beside Zhu Ping'an looked at Ping'an with a smile on her face, and thought in her heart: Zhu Ping'an, you have really grown up, you have become a strong person who can stand alone and be trustworthy!

"Ping'an, in fact, we all know that you have important things to tell us, and we also know that you have a special identity and background, but these are not important to us, no matter who you are, what you want to do, what you have done, we don't care, we only know that you will do your best to get us out of the conspiracy of the world coalition government, you are our benefactor!" Hemingway put his hand on Ping'an's shoulder and said to him solemnly.

"Still a good man!" Mi Guo continued.

"Still our friends!" shouted Nero.

The others threw their faces of gratitude and kindness at Ping'an.

Zhu Ping'an heard and saw the evaluation and praise of these friends around him, and a warm current rose in the depths of his heart, and he deeply felt that all his efforts and efforts were worth it, and it was really a great happiness to have such a group of friends who unconditionally supported and trusted him. It is precisely because of this that he does not intend to tell everyone his secrets and identity, because he does not want these friends to be drawn into an unpredictable future again because of him, a future full of challenges and crises. At this moment, he already felt enough relief and satisfaction.

"Thank you, we will always be friends!" said Ping An.

"Why are you so sad, it's like you'll never see you again. Mammoth said to Ping An with a smile.

"Yes, I'll see you again. Catwoman also said to Ping An.

"At this time, shouldn't there be wine? The drunkard suddenly proposed.

"Okay, okay, let's have a banquet here!" said Mi Guo.

"Yes, open a banquet, open a banquet, Lao Tzu wants to have a drink with peace!" King Huo Li opened his arms, hugged Ping'an, and laughed happily.

Ping An looked back at Xuanwu and asked for his opinion. Xuanwu smiled at Ping'an, walked to the side of the spaceship, and used his equipment to give instructions to the spaceship, only to see that the spaceship began to deform with a "click", and after a while, it became a base-like facility.

"Well, then, before we part, let us enjoy our feast to the fullest. Xuanwu said with a smile to everyone.

There was a burst of cheers in the crowd, everyone cheered and ran over, on the top of this valley of the countercurrent, listening to the roaring sound of flowing water, looking at the starlight in the sky, lighting a bonfire, opening wine bottles, singing and dancing, gathering together, pouring out each other's ideals, sharing past experiences, and talking about future prospects. This is the story of friends, the bonds of friendship, no matter how young they are, these people will remember that there was a young man named Zhu Ping'an, who single-handedly rescued them from the trap of death, and sang songs, drank wine, and had a banquet with everyone in the valley of the countercurrent.

At midnight, everyone went to sleep, but Zhu Ping'an stood alone on the top of the mountain, looking at the starlight in the sky, thinking back to the scenes he had experienced in the past few months, he couldn't believe that the timid and cowardly teenager could now come to this point, go through a life-and-death struggle, have a group of trustworthy friends, and are still approaching the truth step by step.

"Ping'an, haven't you slept yet?" Laura's voice came from behind, and she draped a dress over Ping'an's body: "It's windy outside, and your body is still very weak, be careful not to get cold." ”

Ping An turned his head and looked at himself with his clothes draped, looked up at Laura, and grabbed her hand. Laura didn't break free, but just grabbed it peacefully.

"Thank you for your care and attention to me, I always feel that your hands have a special warm feeling, just like when I was a child, my mother's hands, soft, warm and make people feel peaceful and safe. Ping An closed his eyes and said, slowly letting go of Laura's hand, and looked at the sky: "I really don't know, when will I see my parents again, and I don't know how they are now?"

"Don't worry, sooner or later, you will be able to save your parents. Laura comforted Peace. "I'm sure you'll be able to do it. ”

"Laura, I still don't know what I'm doing, so much has happened in this time, more abundant and thrilling than what I've experienced in the previous ten years, it's incredible to think about it now. Ping An turned his head and said to Laura: "Now that I really don't have anyone around me who can be trusted and relied on, can you tell me that it is really right to be with you?"

"Peace," Laura heard Ping'an's words, knowing that he was indeed a little tired, "in fact, you have a lot, your parents are definitely alive now, they are waiting to be with you, you have a group of friends who have lived and died together, and they have experienced a vicious war together, and they will definitely support you when you need it; you have us who are considered by the world to be rebels, we can give everything for you, even our lives, and most importantly, you still have hope, a vision for the future, hard work, Struggle for persistent hope, and that's the most shining thing in you!"

"Hope?" Zhu Ping'an looked at the twinkling stars in the sky and reached out to clench his fist to his chest. "Yes, only hope is the motivation for me to continue to fight, no matter how difficult the future is, I must go on, and I must not give up. ”

"Would you like to hear my story?" said Laura to Ping An with a smile.

Ping An turned around and looked at Laura, in the night breeze, Laura's long black hair floated in the air, her misty eyes and delicate face, coupled with a casual white dress, it was as beautiful as a hibiscus out of the water.
