The golden-red sunlight pierced through the treetops, split into countless pieces by the branches and leaves, and sprinkled on the two people who were fighting to the death below, shrouding the place in a psychedelic glow.

In the face of Dio's frontal attack, the tall man spread his arms and suddenly lunged forward with great speed, meeting Dio's attack without dodging or dodging, thus completely enveloping him in the range controlled by his arms.

The boy seemed frightened, and did not dodge, and the two collided almost moments later.

With a thud, the boy's fist struck the tall man's heart first. As the tall man expected, his body only trembled slightly, and it hurt a little, and the young man's momentum was exhausted and he couldn't dodge for the time being, and he was about to be held firmly by the tall man, and the tall man's eyes suddenly showed a hint of joy, he was very sure that as long as he hugged Dior, he would be able to break his bones in the next moment, and he would never give the other party a chance to fight back.

But at this moment, the tall man felt an unbearable sharp pain that suddenly spread from the part hit by Dio to the rest of his body, sweeping his entire nervous system like a tsunami, making his hands freeze in the air, almost able to touch Dio's body.

"I won. Dior's right hand rested lightly on the tall man's throat, and his tone was casual, as if he were saying something as ordinary as eating and sleeping.

After speaking, Dior quickly retreated, out of the control range of the tall man.

At this time, the tall man also regained his mobility, but he only clutched his hands tightly to his throat, and his eyes showed extreme surprise. The next moment, with a snort, a large amount of blood gushed out from his fingers, like a spring, and instantly stained his body red.

He staggered forward to the side, then fell to his knees, staring at Dio with a look in his eyes, as if he didn't understand why one moment he was going to win but the next he was facing an irretrievable defeat.

“...... Grid, hiss...... Case...... Hiss...... Bucket, home...... Hiss ......"

He seemed to want to say something, but the hissing sound of the ruptured trachea made his speech slurred, and then blood filled his mouth, gushing out along his lower lip, and his body fell forward, and began to twitch involuntarily, and soon stopped moving.

Call......

Seeing that this strong enemy finally fell in front of him, Dio let out a long sigh of relief, took a few steps back with weak legs and feet, and sat down slowly against a thick tree, as if the strength of his whole body had been completely drained.

"If you don't be in a hurry, if you continue to consume, I must die, hehe......" Dior looked up at the canopy above and laughed heartily, "It's really dangerous." ”

As Dior said, he can win this fighting master not because his strength is better than the opponent's, but his ability is beyond the opponent's expectations and he will be exchanged for the future.

Under the tempering of battle, Diorton guò Sun Dance has acquired a certain ability to control its own muscles, and can change its body according to the surrounding environment to obtain the most suitable form for battle. However, because he had just acquired it, this ability was still very weak, just like no matter how much he manipulated his muscles, he would never be able to compete with this tall man in terms of strength.

As for escaping, there was not much left of his entity, and he could be exhausted at any time and let his opponent slaughter, so he took a risky leap and deliberately exposed his flaws to lure the opponent, and finally succeeded in hitting the opponent's heart and injecting all the sunfire into it, so that the tall man who was caught off guard was paralyzed by the instantaneous pain, and then he took advantage of the situation to tear the opponent's throat, which was the only way to complete this difficult kill. If any of these steps are wrong, he is likely to be killed by the other party, and it can only be said that this time Lady Luck is by his side.

Before he could recover from the joy of victory, Dior's expression suddenly froze.

Bursts of unimaginable pain and itching numbness poured out from every corner of his body in an instant, as if countless insects crawled and bit in his body, this feeling came from flesh and blood, from bone marrow, from every cell, and he was firmly entangled, unable to escape, his whole body was this pain that was worse than death, and gradually, his eyes were already pale, and his body fell crooked under the tree, curled up tightly.

This is the price of forcibly acquiring power that does not belong to him for the time being.

The Dance of the Sun is essentially a cultivation method that enhances the essence of life and promotes evolution, and muscle control is a necessary part of it, but this is not something that Dio can master now, but the ** of living stimulates all his potential, so that he can obtain this ability in advance. At the price, he had gained far less power than he had gained by going with the flow, and the same was true of the pain he was experiencing.

......

A void.

There is no time and space, and every qiē stands still, as if it has been eternal.

It wasn't until a beam of light entered his world that the gears of his consciousness began to turn again.

Dio slowly opened his eyes, the sound of birds echoing in his ears, and the scene of the woods returned to his vision.

He had some difficulty supporting his body, holding on to the tree to stand up, only feeling weak and weak, but compared to the pain of death before, he felt like he was in heaven.

Looking up at the sky, the sunlight leaking from the canopy of the trees was already dim, and it seemed that it should have been afternoon.

He looked around, the corpses of the two enemies were still in their original condition, it seemed that luck was still bless him, and the smell of blood had not yet attracted the beasts.

At this time, a strong hunger came from his abdomen, and his brain was also dizzy, and he almost fell again.

"I have to eat something, otherwise I may not even be able to get out of this forest. ”

Dio's gaze quickly locked on the two corpses on the ground not far from him, and then slowly walked to the side of the short corpse by holding on to the tree.

Squatting down, he rummaged through the pockets of his short coat for a while, and soon found two long strip-shaped items, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly removed the outer packaging of these two long items, and then stuffed them into his mouth.

This is emergency dry food, made of flour, salt, sugar and other materials, one piece can top a meal, people like him who often live in the wild because of archaeology usually bring a few pieces of food on their bodies as emergency food, and these two enemies are with him, so he estimates that they are likely to have them on them, and it is true that when they find it.

Then he found five pieces of emergency dry food from another enemy, and only after eating them all did he feel much more comfortable.

"It's getting late, it's time to go. ”

After solving the needs of the body, Dio found that the sunlight had dimmed a lot, so he did not stay longer, first examined the next two corpses, found nothing of value except for a little change and an identical badge for each person, and then picked up his bag for the funeral goods and the short sword that stabbed the short man to death, thought about it, and retrieved the short man's dagger, and then staggered away.

He first returned to the Knight's Tomb, restored the entrance to its original state, and then headed down the mountain.

The way down the mountain was smooth and there were no accidents. When the last rays of the setting sun were about to fade, he saw the river and the stone bridge as he entered the mountain.

With a cheer, he quickly ran to the river, buried his head directly in the water by the river, and drank a full meal of water, although the emergency dry food in front of him met the needs of his stomach, but his throat was not a small sin - dry throat emergency dry food has never been a very comfortable thing, and now he can finally make up for the grievances of his throat.

After drinking enough water, he washed his face by the way, and then looked at the clear water, on which a young face was reflected, just like what he had seen at home in the morning, but it seemed to be different.

Today is the first time he has killed someone, and now in retrospect, except for being a little uncomfortable, it doesn't seem to have much impact, but there is a faint sense of superiority, as if he is a little different from ordinary people.

In fact, he didn't know that it was the loosening of the cage that had been stored somewhere in his heart, and the name of that cage was morality.

......

When he got home, it was already after eight o'clock, and when he opened the door, he saw that it was dark, except for Lilia's room, where the light leaked through the crack in the door.

Click!

The darkness was dispelled by the light, and Lilia, dressed in her pajamas, walked out, presumably she heard the movement at the door and came out to check.

"Why did you come back so late?" Lilia was visibly relieved to see that it was her brother, but she still questioned Dio in a somewhat dissatisfied tone.

"I forgot the time in the martial arts hall, and I was a little delayed when I went home. Dio replied casually, and by the way, he pinched the coat that he had taken off in advance at the door, so as not to be seen by his sister the traces of the battle left on it.

But Lilia's eyesight was better than he had imagined. "Why do you have such a big tear in your sleeve?"

Dio looked at the part where Lilia was pointing, it was shot by the crossbow, but he couldn't answer like that, so he immediately made up a reasonable lie: "Oh, this one, it was accidentally broken in the martial arts hall." ”

"What kind of broken martial arts hall is this?, the conditions are so bad?" Hearing Dio say this, Lilia really didn't pursue it anymore, but showed disdain, "You remember, no matter how good those martial arts halls say, they are useless, they are all lies." It's not that I look down on you, to be honest, even if you go to school for a few years, I will still let you beat you with one hand. ”

Faced with such a sister who didn't give face to his brother, Dior couldn't help but feel a faint pain in his temples.

"Okay, okay, a little thing, I can tell the real from the fake. ”

"Can you tell for yourself? Do you remember the money you were cheated of last semester? Then I'll help you come back. Lilia was dismissive of Dior's claims. After she finished speaking, she yawned and went to the kitchen to pour water.

Dio shook his head helplessly and walked back to his bedroom, closing the bedroom door by the way.

After returning to his own space, Dio was obviously relieved, and hurriedly took off all the clothes on his body, including underwear and underwear, and stuffed them under the bed to deal with them at the right time, he didn't want to leave any suspicious traces.

Then he opened the closet and found out his underwear and pajamas ready to change into.

At this moment, the bedroom door suddenly opened, revealing Lilia holding a cup.

"By the way, I have something to ask you for...... Ahh

Dio was stunned, looked down, looked at the way he was wearing nothing, it didn't seem to be a big deal, and the appearance was not strange and the size was not bad, and then he remembered that this was not when he was twenty-five years old, and Lilia was not one of the bold women of the archaeological team, and he couldn't help but smile wryly.

"Young man...... Huh, it's hairy?"
