On the top of the mountain stands a huge fortress, with high walls reaching into the sky, and an avenue leading to the bottom of the mountain under the iron wall, and there is an endless stream of travelers. From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, there will be patrols at regular intervals to protect the travelers on the middle of the road.

From the perspective of the merchant convoy, there was a stone statue standing in the center of the fortress, and the clouds on the dome seemed to be subdued by some kind of force, and only a light reflected in the center of the fortress in the big sky. Several mountain owls also pierced the cold sky, hovering over the head of the fortress, and through the perspective of the mountain owls, a school appeared in front of them, and bursts of reading were heard from time to time. It is often accompanied by several rough and powerful scolding and percussion. Looking at the place where the beam of light entered, a silver-haired young man was staring intently at the messy blackboard copying notes, sometimes thoughtfully holding a pen to his chin, sometimes squeezing his eyebrows and shaking his head slightly......

After a long time, a dull bell echoed throughout the school, and at the same time aroused a restless mood, and after a while, many people poured out of the teaching entrance, and the silver-haired boy also slowly walked down with the flow of people. In the aisle, the special hair color attracted the admiring eyes of the girls, and at the same time attracted the jealous eyes of the boys. But the boy turned a blind eye to these, and after walking slowly for a while, a shadow appeared in his field of vision, and the corner of his eye just locked on the girl, and the boy turned his head slightly to focus his gaze on the girl, which happened to attract her attention. In an instant, he quickly withdrew his gaze, but before he could completely dodge, the soft voice hit him inside.

"Hello! My name is Xueke. What's your name? ”

Just as he looked back, the girl happened to appear in the field of vision of the silver-haired boy, and there was a cherry mouth under her delicate eyes. The mouth kept humming, accompanied by a light swing, and his ruddy face looked at the young man who stood in place with a little curiosity.

"Well, hello, I'm Song Jingran."

After a moment of embarrassment, Song Jingran replied, perhaps she had never seen such a delicate girl, Song Jingran's face showed a warm red, and her hand unconsciously stretched out to the top of her head and scratched.

"Song... Jing... Ran, well, not bad. ”

"Thank you..."

"Were you just looking at me?" Xue Ke's tone was slightly amused.

"Huh...? It's not..."Song Jingran prevaricated in embarrassment.

"Well, I hope you have a good time at the school, goodbye." With that, he waved his hand and walked to the other side with a ghostly smile.

"Goodbye ......"

"I feel like a strange person......" Song Jingran's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she said in her heart.

Then, when he raised his eyes, the woman named Xueke also disappeared from his field of vision. But just as he pulled his gaze back, he unintentionally found that many pairs of eyes suddenly appeared around him staring at him, and both men and women behind him and even in the crowd around him cast jealous glances at him.

Song Jingran only felt a slight chill in her back, her expression showed embarrassment again, and she shrank back and quickly left the scene.

The time came to the next morning, and the morning bell of the school rang dullly in the corridor again, and most of the students outside the gate of the school were dragging their bodies in. Some of the students even acted like walking corpses. Suddenly, a shadow appeared in the crowd, which instantly shocked the spirits of many male students who were still languishing.

"Good morning, everyone!"

"Sister Xueke is so !!" The boys shouted in unison.

Xue Ke immediately put on a clever and well-behaved expression, and staggered into the school, and the boys followed closely behind.

At this time, Song Jingran arrived at the school early, and before he could put his bookery away, he was called away by an old gentleman.

The narrow room was a little dark, there were countless books on the scattered bookshelves, and there was only a green lamp on the desk, the old gentleman walked to the table and sat down slowly, stroked the unilateral glasses and whispered to Song Jingran:

"Are you used to it?"

"Hmm...... Pretty good. ”

"That's good, your father gave you to me, but... I have a lot of things myself, and I usually can't take care of you, so don't take it to heart. ”

"No, the students are already grateful to you."

"Hmm...... If there's anything, be sure to tell me. ”

"The student knows, thank you, sir, for being concerned."

After a long time, I saw Song Jingran walk out of the house, and the other students saw Song Jingran walking out of the old man's house, and looked at him with a sense of surprise and curiosity......

Time came back a few years -

At that time, Dawn Valley had been attacked by the beast tide, and Song Yucheng, who led the resistance under the high wall, had already had a bloodstained face and was unkempt. The armor on his body was also on the verge of shattering, but a few pieces of cotton cloth and hemp rope were still tightly entangled, refusing to let go of the withered armor. He looked up and saw that there were already mountains of corpses under the high walls, and pus and blood had gathered into deep tans of different sizes. Some of the surviving warriors were dragging their mutilated arms in the pile of corpses and howling in pain, and those who were not knocked down in the first place were still rushing towards the beasts as always, until their bodies were torn in half by the violent impact of the waves.

Song Yucheng watched one after another warriors fall in front of his eyes, anger and sadness couldn't help but rush out, he tried his best to roar at the leading monster, the double blades in his hand under his blessing, forming a layer of flame-like energy, driven by grief and indignation, Song Yucheng's footsteps became extremely fast, and in an instant, he slashed towards the monster's denomination. The sword light and sword shadow instantly hit the monster like a torrential rain, and the strong attack immediately stirred up layers of dust and mist, and the injured monster came with a wail at the same time. The moment the offensive ended, Song Yucheng kicked back to the ground in another instant, his breath became slightly rapid, but his eyes were still staring at the monster coldly. In a moment, the dust and mist gradually cleared. The monster also emerged from the dust and mist again, only to see the monster grinning the corners of its mouth, the raised skin folds revealing a mouth full of fangs, the eyes of the eyes were irritated by Song Yucheng's attack and became scarlet and translucent, the face was still flowing with plasma, and the mouth continued to let out a heavy wail. The voice was as trembling as a ghost, and Song Yucheng, who saw this situation, showed a touch of surprise on his face, and said with a slight tremor at the corner of his mouth.

"How so?! ……”

As he spoke, a stream of heat struck Song Yucheng head-on, and the monster raised its huge jaws, puffing out its cheeks like a toad chirping, and a ball of fireball erupted from its mouth. smashed towards Song Yucheng fiercely.

After an explosion, sparks splashed and dust flew, and in the same instant, the dust stirred up by the fireball had not yet dissipated, but Song Yucheng's body once again appeared above the monster's denomination, and in the gap between the air, Song Yucheng quickly rotated his body, centered on himself, and the blade was a rotating blade, and smashed into the monster's denomination like a thunderbolt.

The monster let out a painful wail again, and in anger, it waved its hand and threw Song Yucheng, who was still in the air, out with a heavy blow. After hearing another explosion, Song Yucheng dragged his double blades and struggled to get up from the ground, his mouth kept spitting blood, and his hands were numb and sore from the shock. And the monster also went crazy again, the fireballs in his mouth gathered faster and faster, and pressed towards Song Yucheng several times in succession, Song Yucheng was also driven by instinct to dodge one after another, but at this moment, not everyone was as strong and agile as Song Yucheng, and those fireballs that were dodged did not hesitate to choose to hit those charging soldiers, some of their bodies were easily overturned, thrown several meters away, and some were directly blown into a puddle of mud...... Others festered and died before they even had time to react.

Watching the soldiers come one after another, but the current situation, Song Yucheng didn't have more mental strength to shout at the dead soldiers, he could only endure the grief and pain to avoid the deadly fireball, and finally, the monster also became weak after the successive sprays, and Song Yucheng also had a moment of respite in this space. Then he angrily stood up and slammed into the monster's face again. The flame of the twin blades ignited again, and in an instant, before the monster could react, the blade stabbed into its face again, and the blood burst out again, and the monster also ushered in the third wail of the night. The monster finally collapsed to the ground after another attack on its face, its massive form rising and falling with the gasp of its mouth and nose.

Song Yucheng dragged his body and slowly walked to him, his eyes met the gaze of the monster, his right hand raised the sharp blade high, spit on the monster's face with disgust, and then stabbed the sharp blade towards the monster's eyeballs. Blood burst out from his eyeballs in an instant, staining Song Yucheng's entire body red. The monster also lost its breath with the last roar. The first wave of the beast tide also weakened after the leading monster became exhausted, after Song Yucheng shook off the monster that had been exhausted, he and the warriors continued to charge towards the remaining alien beast group, and the beast group that lost the leader became festering, and finally, the Dawn Valley struggled to resist and ushered in a brief respite......

"What about the damage in the city?" Song Yucheng asked the non-commissioned officers present with a worried face.

"The situation is not optimistic, the strange beasts that raided in had a great impact on the houses...... Zhang Lin dragged his tired body and slowly walked to Song Yucheng and said.

"What about the casualties?"

"Logistics is still counting ......"

"What about Du Ming and Anlu?"

"According to the prepared battle plan, they will defend the south and west of the city respectively."

"Hmm...... The first stage of the beast tide can be regarded as surviving......" Song Yucheng breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression was full of fatigue.

“…… The battles that follow will only get tougher. Zhang Lin also said with a tired face.

"Ask Vrey to send me a new suit of armor, this one won't work."

Song Yucheng grabbed the fragments on his body and threw them on the ground.

"Let's take a break for the warriors."

"Yes!"

Outside the high walls of Dawn Valley, the fighting stopped, and the soldiers began to clean up the battlefield, and they all carried their former partners who fought and lived together with a heavy heart. Some of them are even in extreme grief and anger, and they are still swinging their knives to slash at the corpses of alien beasts that have lost signs of life. Meaningless rants at the ugly corpses.

"The remains of the soldiers, hurry up and cremate them......" Song Yucheng said solemnly, standing at the head of the city and looking at the messy land under the high walls.

"Someone has been arranged to deal with it, but some relatives do not agree to cremation." Zhang Lin lowered his head and said, with a lot of sadness in his tone.

"Sort out their belongings and let those relatives who don't agree with cremation come to me."

"Yes, my subordinates will do it immediately."

A moment later, there were many people scattered on the high wall, most of them were family members of the victims, some people who had only had a relationship with these victims, and those who had no relatives, most of them were taken care of by these people who had been in front of them in their lifetime. And this situation has become a normal thing in Dawn Valley.

——————

"General... He had said that after death he wanted his body to be returned intact to the place where he came, so I beg you to ......"

"My son, my only son, I don't want him to leave like this, General Song, please don't cremate him, I still want to see him for the last time......"

"We just want them to come back to us in one piece......"

"Please don't cremate my brother......

"I miss my dad......"

“……”

Everyone looked at Song Yucheng with longing eyes, standing in front of him, there were people who were companions, mothers who couldn't bear to send black-haired people to white-haired people, children who lost their fathers, and their brothers and sisters. Song Yucheng looked at them and did not refute at the first time, but asked Zhang Lin to stand in front of them with the relics left by the victims, and then spoke:

"I'm sorry everyone...... Forgive me for not being able to meet your requests, and allow me to express my highest apologies to you, the corpse has been left for too long and is not a good thing for Dawn Valley, and the smell of decay and collapse will attract more alien beasts. So I sincerely ask your permission to let them fight the last battle for the Valley of Dawn, your family, they are all warriors of the Valley of Dawn... And you are the true heroes of Dawn Valley. ”

After speaking, they bowed deeply to everyone, and the soldiers present also paid the highest respect to everyone, and then handed over the relics of the victims to their relatives in turn. In the process of handover, crying, mourning, and collapse also followed......

Soon it was approaching nightfall, and tonight was no longer as calm as before, the cold wind swept over the sky, but did not take away a little gloom, everyone's face looked extremely depressed, above the high wall, the sentry posts patrolling back and forth changed more frequently than usual, they tied up a series of fires under the city, and the outside of the city became transparent for a while, in sharp contrast to the scattered points of light within the high wall. The warriors who had a chance to rest also slept directly on the ground, and when they looked around, they would find many intertwined human bodies, and the only way to distinguish them from the dead corpses was - some of them would make a very recognizable dull sound in the pile.

The vision pulled into the distance, and Song Yucheng staggered back to his corner of the mansion with a heavy body. The attack of the beast tide brought not only physical pain, but also out of the nature of fear, the mother and son hugged each other in the house, and Ah Qing kept comforting Song Jingran with a slightly trembling voice. Song Jingran was born in this world, and finally understood the stories that his father had told him before-

The Heavenly Punishment brought with it huge and ugly evil spirits, as well as an endless tide of beasts, from which no species was spared. They will all disappear into the bloody maws, and those who are lucky enough to escape will have to cower under the high walls, and get a chance to survive under the so-called shelter......

"Are you alright?"

With a squeaky sound, the door was pushed open by Song Yucheng heavily, and at the same time, the mother and son in the room hugged each other more tightly. It wasn't until Song Yucheng's shout reached the ears of the mother and son that the two of them relaxed and cautiously poked their heads out to check.

"It's okay... How are you? ”

Ah Qing got up and ran to Song Yucheng and gently grabbed his hand and said, Song Jingran followed Ah Qing's steps and also appeared under Song Yucheng, Song Yucheng saw that the mother and son who were okay also hugged the two.

"It's okay......"

"Dad, you're hurt......"

"Don't get in the way, Dad just can't worry about you, so he rushed back to take a look." As he spoke, he gently stroked Song Jingran's cheek with his rough hand.

"Yucheng ......" A-Qing also looked at Song Yucheng with a little distress.

"Okay, you guys stay in the house, it's okay to have soldiers guarding outside."

"How's it going outside the city? I heard that those relatives ......"

"It's not something you should care about, take care of yourself and Jing Ran."

"Dad, are you still going?"

"Alright, stay with your mother. Dad will come back to teach you more powerful swordsmanship after beating those demons away, okay? ”

"Hmmm......"

Then Song Yucheng once again dragged his heavy steps in the direction of the high wall.

Time returned to the present, in a corridor in the school, Xue Ke walked towards Song Jingran again, with a dexterous smile on his face.

"Hey, see you again."

"Hello, Senior Sister Xueke." Song Jingran replied politely. His eyes lifted slightly, scanning the delicate and lovely face.

"Hmm..."

The corners of Xue Ke's mouth opened slightly and whispered, and then he stepped forward again, and his body appeared in front of Song Jingran, looking at Song Jingran with a slightly flirtatious expression, and then he used his hand to gesture the distance between the top of Song Jingran's head and his jaw. Then he let out a chuckle and said:

"Shorter than me, I recognize this senior sister."

After speaking, he half-pursed his mouth and protruded a little tongue, making a clever expression.

"Oh...... Well. ”

Song Jingran was surprised by Xue Ke's behavior, and she didn't know how to respond for a while, so she could only squeeze out two words dryly.

"By the way, are you familiar with Sunset Fortress?" Xue Ke suddenly spoke, looking as if she had been planning for a long time.

"No, Sir just told me to stay good."

"That old man, you say? It turns out that the rumored old man took in someone, and that person is you. Xue Ke showed a sudden realization on his face.

"......" Song Jingran was a little speechless, and looked at Xue Ke with a slightly helpless face

Although Xue Ke seems to be a little arrogant, she is actually a very careful girl in her heart, and when she saw Song Jingran, whose expression changed slightly, she immediately changed her words and said:

"Let's go, I'll take you around, since you're not familiar with Sunset Fortress, then I'll take you around."

"But don't we listen to it?"

"Let's go!"

The moment the words fell quickly, Xue Ke's hand took Song Jingran's hand directly and ran out, showing that he was a little at a loss, and his feet were also very uncooperative to follow Xue Ke's pace. And Xue Ke in front of him was jumping with an innocent face.

The figures of the two did not appear in the huge square for a while, which also attracted the attention of many passers-by, and some were still discussing topics such as whose family the two children belonged to.

"It's a nice place, and there's a lot of fun stuff to do."

"Hmm...... It's the first time I've seen such a lively place..."

Song Jingran looked at the large and lively square, this is a scene that has never been seen in Dawn Valley, it is indeed one of the wonders for Song Jingran, but the sense of loss in his heart has not diminished in the slightest, and his tone is still very gloomy.

Xue Ke saw that Song Jingran had a reaction, so she said again anxiously.

"Yes, this is the liveliest place in Sunset Fortress, let's go over there and have a look." As he spoke, he pulled Song Jingran and ran towards the other side of the square.

After that, the figures of the two appeared in the streets and alleys around the square, and she took Song Jingran to see all the shops and some fun street jugglers in the square, and led him to frolic in various alleys, and claimed that it was her own place of courage. Finally, take him to the high place of the sunset fortress city wall to look at the distant mountain peaks, dense forests, and high walls, there will always be a gust of breeze, the breeze brings up Xueke's white jade hair, and her delicate and lovely face reveals a bright smile like an angel, and gently sits on the wall against the breeze, holding up her waist to enjoy the natural comfort of this moment. And this scene was also firmly imprinted in the mind of Song Jingran, who looked up and stopped by the wall.

"I've been taking you around for so long, I'm a little hungry."

"I'm sorry."

"Let's go, I'll take you somewhere else." With that, he supported it with his hand, and his whole body gently floated down from the wall, brushing the hair on his sideburns, and once again dragged Song Jingran's hand towards the high wall. After a while, they came to a stop in front of a noodle restaurant.

"Xiaoxue is here, and she brings her friends."

Before entering the door, a middle-aged man said very kindly, and his body slowly appeared in front of the two.

"Well, two fish noodle soups, no chili peppers."

"Yes, take your friends and sit inside." As he spoke, the man gently turned his gaze to Song Jingran and smiled kindly.

"Go in, and leave the rest to Uncle Dai." After finishing speaking, he jumped and walked in, and Song Jingran bowed slightly to express his gratitude and followed Xue Ke into the door.

After a while, the man served two bowls of steaming fish noodle soup, Xue Ke snatched it, it didn't fit the temperament of her delicate face at all, and sucked it up regardless of the eyes of the people around her, Song Jingran could only hold the bowl and look at Xue Ke with an embarrassed smile when she saw this. The man, on the other hand, put his hands on his chest and laughed loudly.

"Hahaha, you girl, eat slowly, it's scared of your friends."

"Uh-huh, uh-huh, hmm-hmm......" Xue Ke held the bowl, the noodles in her mouth had not yet been swallowed, and she puffed out her cheeks and didn't know what to say. The man smiled when he saw this, and then looked at Song Jingran and said.

"Don't mind, Xiaoxue is like this, you can eat it too."

"Aha... Hah, hmm..."Song Jingran replied with an embarrassed smile as she raised the corners of her mouth.

"Boss, two bowls of clear soup powder!" The voice of a guest was heard at the door.

"Huh! You sit down first, and the clear soup powder will be ready immediately. ”

"I'll go over first, you two eat slowly." With that, he turned around and greeted the guests.

After a while, the two of them left the noodle restaurant leisurely, and after walking for a long time, Xue Ke asked.

"Song Jingran, why did you come to Sunset Fortress?"

"It's nothing ......" Song Jingran showed a gloomy attitude at the moment.

"Hmm...... If you don't say it, then I'll tell you why I'm here. ”

"Huh?" Song Jingran felt that Xue Ke's behavior made her very incomprehensible.

"Hey, do you want to know?" Xue Ke deliberately put on a coquettish appearance and said.

"No...... It's a great thing to know. Song Jingran grabbed her head, and she didn't look directly at Xue Ke's gaze. But after a moment of embarrassment, he still spoke:

"Thank you for today."

"It's okay, you're my little brother." Xue Ke patted her chest and said proudly.

"Huh? When?. You ......" was immediately interrupted by Xue Ke before the words fell. Before speaking, he also used his hand to gauge the height of the two.

"Now, you've only come to me now, I'm taller than you, and I look older than you, so you're my little brother."

"Are you sure you're not a junior brother?"

"It's a little brother!"

"You really don't look like you did when you were in school......"

"You ......"

"......" Song Jingran looked at Xue Ke, who was a little scoundrel, shrugged his shoulders and stopped talking, his expression was slightly helpless.

"Hmph." Xue Ke folded his hands in front of his chest, and his expression showed a smug and domineering look.

"Now, why did you come to Sunset Fortress?" Song Jingran, who was silent for a while, pursed her lips and said.

"Oh?" Xue Ke looked at Song Jingran with some surprise.

"Well...... this"

The two walked to a quiet clearing, Xue Ke leaned against the edge of the ground, looked at the sky in the distance, and slowly opened his mouth to speak.

"Because Sunset Fortress is the strongest defense zone for humans, I'm here."

"Just this?"

"Of course it's more than that."

"And what else?"

"How old are you?"

"Thirteen years old. Why do you suddenly ask this? ”

"I'm fifteen, hehe."

"That's not the point......

"Every three years, Sunset Fortress selects children on the mainland who have reached the age of sixteen for apocalyptic awakening."

"Apocalypse Awakening? …… What is that? Song Jingran asked with a puzzled expression.

"It is to pass the assessment of those elders in the Dawn Hall, and then conduct a competition in the ring, and the last people who stay can accept the baptism of sunset and become the awakened ones of a special bloodline, and most people call them divine revelations."

"So you came to Sunset Fortress because you wanted to be a Divine Revelation?"

"Sort of, but I've heard that even those who pass through and stay in the end will not be able to withstand the baptism of sunset."

"What happens to those who can't bear it?"

"I don't know ......"

The Divine Revelation was discovered by chance by the first group of surviving humans during the 773 years of human beings fighting against foreign beasts, which is the power of God, and after receiving the baptism of this power, their bodies will obtain human functions and self-healing constitutions beyond ordinary people. Seeing new hope in the eyes of these people, humanity regained its spark and fought bravely against the wilderness with a desire for freedom and peace. Later generations also built a towering fortress in the birthplace of this god-given power, and named it - Sunset Fortress. Every three years, the various defense regions of the empire and even the entire continent will send teenagers between the ages of 14 and 17 to the Sunset Fortress for baptism, and those who have successfully awakened their powers will be given the title of Divine Apocalypse. But it is extremely difficult to become a superman, even if you overcome the physical load brought by baptism, but the mental and spiritual destruction is the last line of defense to break the person who goes to baptism. Therefore, since more than 700 years, far fewer than 10,000 people have been successfully baptized and gained great power.

"Then why does it have to be sixteen?"

“…… Why are you so much why? ”

"I'm sorry."

"Well, I don't know about that."

"And what else do you know about the Revelator?"

"Hmm...... Everyone who awakens the power of the Divine Revelation will have a special sun pattern on their body, which is the symbol of the Divine Revelation, and the Divine Revelation can show great power. Between the words, Xue Ke's eyes were shining, and her expression and demeanor were full of longing for the future.

"Sun Gear...... Father ......" Song Jingran seemed to recall something, and whispered.

"Huh? What? ”

"It's okay, hehe......"

"Hmph, the gods are chattering."

"I didn't expect you, a girl, to like these things. Eating is also ......"

"Humph!" While Song Jingran was speaking, Xue Ke clenched her fists and hit Song Jingran's body with a fierce fist.

"Not a lot of mouths!" With a hint of shame on his face, he put away his fist and began to talk about the Revelator.

"But there is still a year before the next Divine Revelation Awakening, and you are not old enough, so you can only wait four years if you want."

"It's okay, I don't have to be a revelator, if you don't tell me this, I won't even understand."

"Then why did you come to Sunset Fortress?"

"Well,...... Before, something happened in my hometown, and I had to come here as a last resort. ”

"What's the matter?"

"It's a long story......"

Looking back in time, Song Jingran finally admitted to Xue Ke that after the crisis of the beast tide in Dawn Valley a few years ago, Dawn Valley also became dilapidated, and after Song Yucheng and others tried their best to resist the first stage of the beast tide, they got a brief respite, but this was only peace before despair.

"It's too quiet to be a little too abnormal......" On the high wall, Song Yucheng kept surveying the surrounding environment with a telescope, and whispered in his mouth with the ups and downs of his mood. Zhang Lin also stood beside him with a worried face. Looking at Song Yucheng's telescope that he couldn't put down for a long time, he said tentatively:

"The soldiers haven't closed their eyes normally for several days, maybe this beast tide is really over."

“…… I can't be careless, this beast tide is different from the past, and it suddenly disappears very suddenly, and I always feel uncomfortable in my heart. Song Yucheng put down the binoculars, his eyebrows were tightly pressed together, and his face showed an uneasy posture.

"You've been patrolling the city all day, aren't you worrying?"

"Perhaps, by the way, what is the situation on the outskirts of the Strange Wood Forest?"

"Mu Yun, the news that they have returned in the past few days is not abnormal."

"That's good..."

“…… Maybe I'm really worried about it. Song Yucheng said secretly in his heart, and his face also made difficult changes. Then he said, "Send someone to inform Mu Yun that they can go back." After speaking, Zhang Lin was ordered to retreat, and Song Yucheng watched the city for a long time, and then walked down the high wall with a feeling of uneasiness.

Not long after, Zhang Lin found Du Ming, walked slowly towards Du Ming, and stepped forward to speak.

"Nothing happened on your side, did it?"

"There isn't much in the south of the city itself, and the walls are taller and thicker than in other places, so it's always easy on our side."

"That's okay, the beast tide hasn't moved for a few days, the general decided to let Mu Yun and them withdraw from the Tricky Wood Forest, and you guys pack up and go to the Tricky Wood Forest to pick them up."

"Understood, we'll leave later."

"Well, be careful on the road."

"Don't worry."

After Du Ming and the others explained some trivial matters, Du Ming, Fursen, and He Xiaoai drove their horses to the place that put them in danger again, the Strange Wood Forest.

"Brother."

He Xiaoai moved to Du Ming's side with his horse, his eyes drooped slightly, and his delicate and transparent face showed a cute look. There was no sense of arrogance and pride in his tone.

"Are you still scared?" Du Ming looked at his sister and understood that place was something that everyone didn't want to recall, so he said softly and comfortingly.

"Hmm..."He Xiaoai nodded slightly.

Fursen behind him also showed a depressed expression.

"Don't be afraid, this time we will just go to the periphery to pick up Mu Yun and them, even if there is danger, I will protect you."

"But...... I'm still a little worried. ”

"Xiao Ai, I will also protect you." Fursen rode to He Xiaoai's side and said, his eyes full of determination.

"Omori ......" He Xiaoai looked at the honest Fursen, and a smile overflowed on his face.

"We've got to pick up the pace." After that, the three of them raised their speed and hurried away.

In the process of comparing the speed with time, Du Ming and his party finally arrived at a clearing on the outskirts of the Strange Wood Forest, and after simply arranging the horses as before, they walked towards the nearby survey point. The gloomy atmosphere could still feel a strong cold aura even on the periphery, and the three of them also had a bad experience here, and the chill became even more and more biting. Fortunately, it didn't take them much time to join up with Mu Yun and the others.

"How did you get here?" Mu Yun saw the three of them coming cautiously, and said with a slight smile.

"Sister Yun, are you all right?" He Xiaoai was very happy to see Mu Yun and rushed up to hug her.

"Compared to you guarding the city, it's not easy for me here."

"Did something happen?" Du Ming asked worriedly.

"Not yet, it's just that some of the strange beasts that fled from Dawn Valley will pass through here, so we need to deal with it for a while, but fortunately, the strange beasts coming from the direction of Dawn Valley are all injured, and it is not particularly difficult to deal with."

"That's good, what about inside the Strange Wood Forest? Nothing popped up, did it? ”

"Yes, Mu Yun, aren't you afraid?" He Xiaoai asked worriedly.

"To be honest, when I first came back here, I was just like you, but after a few days here, that feeling gradually decreased." As they spoke, the soldier on the other side came up and reported:

"Captain Mu, today's change of guard team has come."

"Okay, I'll be right here." After that, he put Du Ming and the others aside and turned around to deal with affairs.

"Wait a minute, I'll be back right back."

Du Ming and the others began to wander around the camp without a master, and the soldiers sitting on the ground also cast curious glances at them. After a while, Mu Yun appeared in front of them again.

"By the way, why haven't you said what you're here for?"

"Oh, yes!" Du Ming hurriedly took out the token from his waist and the token given by Zhang Lin, and then continued: "The beast tide crisis has come to an end for the time being, and the general ordered you to withdraw." At this, the eyes of the soldiers who were sitting on the ground, or who were still preparing to change shifts, showed joy.
