The moon in the night sky was obscured by dark clouds.

Three kilometres from the slum, the space was distorted, and the stream stopped flowing.

Time seems to have frozen.

When the space was distorted to the extreme, a figure hovered above the stream out of thin air.

The figure fell, splashing the stream.

It seemed as if frozen time was moving forward again, and the stream was babbling and flowing.

Wang Xu, who was in a coma, suddenly opened his eyes after feeling the cold stream water.

His body tensed slightly, and his gaze scanned his surroundings for the first time.

Wang Xu, who lives in the slums, has been to the vicinity of this creek many times.

The familiar environment made him determine where he was!

"How did I end up here?"

Wang Xu muttered to himself in a low voice, trying to recall the previous events in his mind.

After he fell into the whirlwind, he felt very sleepy, very sleepy, and the whole person unconsciously fell into a deep sleep.

If he hadn't fallen into the icy stream, he wouldn't have come to his senses.

"Could it be that the seedlings of Babelgrass sent me here?"

Wang Xu looked down at his chest and waist, and the wound had miraculously healed.

Not even a single scar remained.

In the palm of his right hand, a black leaf was attached.

These are the leaves of a Babelgrass seedling!

It seems that it was really the seedlings of Atenhama who helped him.

Why did the seedling of the Babelgrass plant help him? Could it be because of the blood sun pattern on his chest?

All kinds of doubts lingered in his mind.

After a while.

Wang Xu put away his thoughts, it was always a good thing to be able to come back alive.

His gaze was fixed on the leaf in his palm.

A grass can reach the sky, and a leaf can cut mountains and rivers!

Is this the leaf that cuts through the mountains and rivers?

Wang Xu mobilized the power in the red liquid in his brain and sensed the immature black leaf in his palm.

The strength within the red liquid was fully restored.

The veins in the black leaves appeared in Wang Xu's mind.

Other than that, he didn't feel anything special about this leaf?

Wang Xu put the leaves in his pocket.

After studying it slowly, he believed that the leaves of Babelgrass would never be so ordinary.

All the way in the direction of the slums.

Wang Xu has a complicated heart.

This time, he experienced many lives and deaths, which made him more aware of the fragility of life.

Especially thinking that Zhao Muge compared him to a grain of sand, an inexplicable fire ignited in his heart.

He didn't want his fate and that of the little demon to be controlled by others at will.

"Wang Xu?"

"You're not dead?"

A hoarse voice came from the direction on the right.

Wang Xu broke away from his thoughts, and looked in the direction where the voice came from: "Brother Ding? ”

"You're alive too?"

I saw Ding Ze walking quickly, and now he is missing a left arm, and the whole person looks very embarrassed.

"Wang Xu, I obviously saw the sickle arm of the blood-eyed mantis piercing into your chest."

"It's been three days since we set off, how did you survive?"

Ding Ze stared at Wang Xu's chest suspiciously.

Under the tattered clothes, there is not even a scar left?

Wang Xu frowned and said, "It's been three days?" ”

He had always thought it was the first night!

Ding Ze patted Wang Xu's shoulder: "It's good to be alive." ”

He didn't ask any more questions.

He knew that Wang Xu might have encountered some chance in the wilderness.

Just now, he couldn't hold back for a moment before he asked.

"Let's go."

"We didn't complete our mission, but at least we are alive."

"I'll take you to the Martial Academy tomorrow and conduct another rating of your cultivation qualifications."

"Even if the result is still that you can't cultivate, I will find a way to arrange a job for you in the city."

Ding Ze took the lead and walked forward.

Previously, he had gone through nine deaths before he barely escaped from the pursuit of the Blood-Eyed Mantis King.

The loss of a left arm is already the best outcome.

Wang Xu followed Ding Ze: "Brother Ding, thank you." ”

He was now desperate to see Nie Xiaoyou.

He knew that the girl would not be able to sleep at night for three days.

Step into the slums.

A noisy commotion echoed in the air, and the streets were littered with drunks full of nonsense.

A rain of blood has kept the people in the slums in panic all the time.

It hasn't been attacked by rampaging mutants yet.

While passing by that shabby little home.

Wang Xu stopped.

The neighborhood is quiet, away from the busiest street in the ghetto.

"Your life will get better and better in the future."

"Everything that isn't good here will leave you."

Ding Ze guessed that this was Wang Xu's original home.

"The days here were hard, but they were also beautiful."

"It's a memory I'll never forget."

Wang Xu said in a low voice.

The steps under his feet stepped out again.

If a man wants to move forward, this place will remain in his memory for the rest of his life.

Passing through the slums, we are getting closer and closer to the protective walls of Jianghai City.

The protective wall is hundreds of meters high.

On the platform at the top of the protective wall, a variety of advanced thermal weapons and detection instruments are placed.

Every night after 12 o'clock, the metal gates that protect the walls are closed.

The metal gates are guarded by warriors.

A plainly dressed girl with a single ponytail looked in the direction of the city without blinking.

"Nie Little Demon, go back!"

"I promised Wang Xu that I would take care of you, even if he really can't come back, I will always keep my promise."

Jiang Ruoyi, who was neatly dressed on the side, spoke.

There was a bit of loneliness and sadness in her beautiful eyes.

It is said that the upper echelons of the martial arts academy have long lost contact with the death squads.

Three days passed, and there was still no news.

There is a high probability that the death squads will be wiped out.

Nie Xiaoyou bit his lip tightly and kept shaking his head: "No, Wang Xu will definitely come back." ”

"I'm going to wait for him here."

Wang Xu once said that Nie Xiaodemon was a beam of light in his dark world.

For Nie Xiaoyou, Wang Xu is the same.

Without Wang Xu, she doesn't know what the meaning of her life is!

This brother, who is not related to her by blood, is all she has in her life.

Nie Xiaoyou held back her tears and didn't let her tears fall, although she knew that Jiang Ruoyi was right, she just didn't want to accept the reality.

The cool breeze of the night blew away the dark clouds in the sky.

Moonlight pours down like a waterfall.

The two figures walking in the distance attracted the attention of Nie Xiaodemon and Jiang Ruoyi.

I've been disappointed too many times before.

Will it be the same this time?

Under the moonlight.

The two figures were getting closer and closer.

Nie Xiaoyou and Jiang Ruoyi were finally able to see the appearance of the person who came.

At the same time, Wang Xu also saw Nie Xiaoyou and Jiang Ruoyi in the city.

"Looks like someone has been waiting for you."

Ding Ze walked to the side with interest.

Wang Xu continued to take steps.

Nie Xiaodemon walked out of the city, Jiang Ruoyi wanted to follow, but in the end she stopped.

Wang Xu and Nie Xiaoyou got closer and closer.

When the two were ten meters away, they stopped in unison.

Moonlight sprinkled on them.

The two looked at each other under the moon.

Long.

After a long time.

Nie Xiaoyou pursed his lips and asked aggrievedly, "Wang Xu, will you leave me in the future?" ”

Wang Xu moved.

He walked over and touched Nie Xiaoyou's head, and said with a smile: "No." ”

"How old are you, don't cry."

Nie Xiaoyou sniffed: "Wang Xu, you messed up my hair again." ”

There was one thing she didn't say.

She doesn't like to cry, she's just afraid of losing Wang Xu.
