"Gurgling ......"

In a small room, a sturdy figure stood on the wall with a mirror, and next to it was a small stove with a small fire and a kettle boiling water above it.

His upper body was unclothed, but naked, revealing a strong muscle.

On the slightly dark surface of the body, countless scars are revealed, which is shocking to look at.

Just by looking at it, it seems that you can feel the horror that men are subjected to.

One of them was a hideous wound that went from the chest to the waist, as if it was about to open the intestines.

There were also several scars of the same type next to it, and judging by the shape of the wounds, it should be a huge claw grasping the man's body.

He faced the mirror, his neck held high, carefully trimming his thick, messy beard.

With the passage of time, the originally unkempt face suddenly became stylish.

The slightly curly hair was scattered in front of his eyes, and the dark green gaze was faintly hidden.

After trimming his beard, the man then picked up a string from the table next to him, tied his shoulder-length hair back and tied it in a ponytail.

At this moment, the water on the other side also boiled, and the bird model at the spout also made a high-pitched call.

"Squeak...... Squeak......"

The small room was filled with screams.

The man patted the stove, and in an instant the flames turned into sparks and dissipated into the air.

And the kettle suddenly died down, no longer making a sharp sound.

He removed the garment hanging on the wall, which was stitched together from an unknown hide, and had a very tough texture.

After putting it on, the man picked up a kettle with the paint off and poured boiling water into it.

A hot breath came out of the bottle, burning the back of his hand.

But the man didn't seem to feel anything, and lifted his clothes and hung the jug full of water from his belt.

There are a few other items hanging from the belt.

A short knife that had been in use for a long time, a cigarette, two cans with steam symbols on the outer walls, and dozens of iron projectiles.

If you look closely, it seems that you can find some small and complex formations on the surface of the projectile.

The man then picked up a long knife wrapped in strips of cloth from the table, and a double-barreled steam gun.

Attaching these things to his body, he put a coffee-colored hat on his head.

I looked at myself in front of the mirror again.

It has changed from the decadent posture before to the lean, and the dark green twin children are as indifferent as the frozen soil of the Far North, like a hunter waiting for his prey.

After a few minutes of silence, the man turned and walked to the door, took a slightly worn nameplate from the shelf behind the door, and put it on his neck with a rope.

It wasn't until he had done that he opened the door in front of him.

The moment the door opened, the noise and bright light poured into the small room.

The man narrowed his eyes slightly and looked outside.

The sun was shining outside the room, and it seemed to dispel a trace of coldness.

The streets are bustling with people.

All kinds of warmth is not enough to say.

But the men in the shadows are cold, and they don't seem to be in the same world.

Stepping out of the room, he reached out and lowered the brim of his hat slightly, shielding his eyes from the shadows while shielding himself from the sunlight.

Then the man looked left and right, and walked straight in one direction.

Countless people passed by him, but none of them could focus on the man.

He walked quietly until he reached a park where there were not many people.

Looking up slightly, you can see a young girl in the center of the park through the heavy foliage.

An ethereal, joyful voice passed through the cracks in the foliage.

It is like the sound of nature, and just a few words seem to make people feel the arrival of warm spring.

A refreshing serenity spread from the bottom of my heart.

And there is no involvement of mysterious spells, but it can present such an effect, how can it not be surprising.

The girl's appearance is as mixed as if it were a profane.

Her ebony-black hair was tucked back to reveal her full forehead.

The eyes are like the bright moon in the night, blooming with a cold and holy light.

And around the girl is a group of creatures with bright eyes.

A few squirrels stood on a branch and nibbled on pine cones, watching the scene.

Cats, dogs, sheep, foxes...... Almost all the creatures we know are here.

Facing the girl is like a pilgrimage.

There were a few psychic sparrows flying around the girl, trying to stop on her shoulders, which caused her a lot of trouble.

After all, what he was dressed today was a fluffy white gauze skirt, and the bird's claws would have scratched his clothes.

When I went back, I was going to be blamed by my mother......

Thinking of this, the girl's white little face was a little puffed, and then she drove away these naughty birds again.

And in the lush foliage, a pair of indifferent and inhuman eyes watched this scene.

The man extracted the memories in his head, and compared the portrait of the man to himself with the real girl, without camouflage or concealment.

After confirming his identity, his eyes flickered slightly, she was his target this time.

Just as he was about to step forward, his footsteps suddenly stopped.

The man's eyes rolled slightly, and his gaze shifted in a direction, where his instincts sensed a wisp of breath looming.

The intensity of that is revealed is ......

Morning star?

No, it was much stronger than the breath of the Morning Star.

It should be the appearance of a half-step Huiyue, and the main direction is the spiritual realm.

Is it the Guardian by your side?

Come to think of it, after all, there are only two people in the bloodline of the entire royal family.

A man's brain is like a cold machine, constantly deducing various possibilities and ways to deal with them.

In the end, he chose to be patient, and the step was immediately retracted, and the whole person stood quietly in place.

The man's own aura seems to blend with the grass and trees, which is difficult to detect.

At least the half-step Huiyue with a powerful aura didn't notice the man's existence.

He remained silent, his eyes slightly downcast, motionless.

As if waiting for the moment when the prey reveals its flaws.

A good hunter should have more patience than his prey.

Until a hint of dark blue appeared on the horizon, the moment when the girl was about to go back.

Perhaps because there was nothing unusual for a long time, the man noticed that there was a slight leak in the breath.

The dark green eyes were slightly raised, and the indifferent gaze in them suddenly flashed, and then the figure suddenly disappeared after several turns.

……

"Ah, I'm going back."

The girl said to the animals around her.

I don't know when Shirayuki realized that she could understand the language of all living things.

Whether it's birds, mammals, fish......

Even the pheromones emitted by insects can be understood.

Until, as she grew up, she realized that she could communicate with these creatures.

So she has been living in the palace and began to have friends of her own.

Bai Xue, who is timid by nature and does not dare to communicate with strangers, will only show her warm smile in front of these simple animals.

It's just that her queen mother doesn't let those animals in, and even the birds can only fly around the palace.

So Bai Xue begged the queen mother to allow her to leave the palace to see her animal friends.

In her reluctance, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in front of the girl's eyes, and then she felt the scenery in front of her eyes begin to distort.

Bai Xue was about to scream, but found that her mouth was blocked by something invisible.

The dark shadow's indifferent gaze swept over her, and the girl suddenly felt a wounded hungry wolf, staring at her.

Her body stiffened, and then countless landscapes flashed in front of her vision.

Bai Xue seemed to be able to vaguely hear "What someone!" "Let her go!" "......" and other frightened and angry voices came from behind him.

In just a moment, she found herself outside the city.

Before she could react, an astonishing aura suddenly appeared behind her, and wave after wave of perception continued to sweep through the city.

There was an endless amount of anger in it, like a volcano on the verge of eruption.

Then Bai Xue found that the figure in front of her flashed again, and left here with her.

The scene in front of him changed again, and countless afterimages crossed his sight.

Bai Xue didn't know how much time had passed, and when she could recover her thoughts, she was already in a forest.

And the figure that appeared in front of him was obviously dressed as a hunter.

He lifted his hat, his green eyes glowing with a faint light.

White Snow seemed to be able to see beads of sweat dripping from the "hunter's" face.

Obviously, the rapid movement was too much for him to bear.

"It's really worthy of being a warlock who has come into contact with the Huiyue realm, and it's really hard to chase ......"

The man muttered in a low voice, and then looked indifferently at the princess of the Mass Empire in front of him.

"Please...... What is this gentleman's name? ”

Bai Xue felt that the person in front of her made her feel more and more like a lone wolf.

"I'm a hunter."

The hunter carefully observed his surroundings, then picked up the kettle and drank it slowly, as if regaining his strength.

"Hunter ......"

Bai Xue's eyes were a little confused, and then she said with a worried face.

"Mr. Hunter, can you send me back? If my queen mother had known that I had returned late, she would have blamed me. ”

Looking at the princess with such a simple mind, even the hunter, who has always been calm, couldn't help but show surprise.

He couldn't believe that the daughter cultivated by such a queen would be so ......

Such a ...... Simplicity?

The hunter thought about it, and felt that there was only one word to describe it.

Faced with such a situation, the princess did not seem to understand the situation at the moment.

He had encountered all sorts of enemies, but none of them were as simple as this princess.

"It's a pity, you can't go back now."

The hunter took out his cigarette and lit it, and some choking smoke filled the air.

"Mr. Hunter, you ...... Do you mean that it's too far away to go back? ”

Snow White watched the sky darken, if her queen didn't see her go back......

The hunter's hand holding the cigarette trembled slightly, and a bit of soot was shaken off.

His cold gaze met Bai Xue's innocent eyes, as if he had seen a pool of water that could be seen at a glance.

If he remembered correctly, he remembered the character of the queen......

"Someone wants me to kill you......"

Bai Xue's face was sluggish, and then she trembled.

At this moment, she finally understood the situation in front of her under the hunter's straightforward words.

"Forget it, I'm not going to kill you."

The hunter looked at this scene and sighed, and his tone of voice gradually softened.

"Ten...... Thank you very much. ”

Bai Xue's voice trembled a little, and she bowed lightly to the hunter.

The hunter looked into the depths of the dense forest around him, and there seemed to be several faint glances staring at him.

He took a puff of the cigarette in his hand and threw it away.

"You go, I'll take the hearts of other creatures instead of yours."

The hunter said slowly in a hoarse voice.

Bai Xue bit her lip and looked at the forest in the unknown direction, and could only choose a path by relying on her own feelings.

Watching the princess disappear into the depths of the forest, the hunter sensed the gazes that had been staring at him behind him and followed him.

A few rustles of rubbing against the branches also sounded.

"Is the physique favored by all things......"

The hunter's eyes flashed with interest, and he walked in the opposite direction to the snow.

When he encounters a creature, he draws his sword and slashes it.

A still beating heart suddenly appeared on the tip of the sword.

……

Bai Xue's appearance at the moment is definitely not good, some dust appeared on her white face, and her fluffy skirt also showed a lot of damage.

She still didn't know who was trying to kill her.

But fortunately, Mr. Hunter was kind-hearted and spared himself.

Thinking of this, Bai Xue couldn't help but pray in her heart.

"Thank you, merciful Lord of Light, and may you help me and the kind-hearted Mr. Hunter."

It was getting darker, and the roars of some wild beasts appeared in the forest.

This scared Bai Xue even more, but she hadn't found her way out yet.

Now she was hungry and thirsty, and she desperately wanted to find a place to sleep.

When Bai Xue passed by the big trees in the sky, he finally saw a small house with lights on.

She knocked and waited a long time for no one to open the door.

But now that Bai Xue is hungry and thirsty, he feels like he has some kind of ambiguity in his consciousness.

She secretly said sorry, then gently pushed the door open and walked in, and found that everything in the house was neatly arranged and clean.

A table was covered with a white cloth and on top of it were seven small plates, each containing a piece of bread and something to eat.

Next to the plate are seven glasses filled with wine, seven knives and forks, etc., and seven small beds are placed side by side against the wall.

Feeling hungry and thirsty, Snow stepped forward and cut a small piece of bread from each loaf of bread and ate it, and drank a little of the wine from each glass.

After eating and drinking, she felt very tired and wanted to lie down and rest, so she came to the little bed, and tried all seven beds, either too long or too short, until the seventh bed was suitable.

She lay down on it and soon fell asleep.

Then, seven short figures quietly appeared next to the sleeping Bai Xue, watching her.
