Chapter 40: Don't be afraid, I'll always cover you
"Ann, where are we going?" , Zhang Er, who followed behind An, looked at the steps down for some reason.
"Zhang Er, let me ask you a question", she suddenly stopped walking on the stairs.
"What?" , Zhang Er's heart suddenly jumped, and he always felt that something was going to happen...
"What do you think of Shi Mi, if it were her, would you work harder?" She lowered her head silently, as if she was holding back an outburst of emotion.
This time, he fell into a silence that he had never seen before, and he didn't make a sound for a long time.
"What are you talking about? What the hell is going on, what's wrong with Shi Mi? Why can't it be made clear? Zhang Er's voice was categorical, and this time he finally broke out his doubts during this time.
"Nothing... According to the agreement, Shi Mi has arrived", she seemed to wipe the tears hidden in the corners of her eyes, and walked down quickly.
The deeper he went underground, the more Zhang Er could sense a looming sense of crisis, and the light trembling of the walls confirmed his thoughts.
"Ann, where the hell are we going?" , he looked at the somewhat petite back in front of him with questions.
"You'll know when you arrive", just a simple answer, but it made Zhang Er feel a little uneasy.
The atmosphere became more and more breathless.
Walking through the dark corridor and entering the underground, Zhang Er clearly noticed that the depth of his entry was almost nearly a hundred meters, and the vibration frequency of the wall was getting faster and faster, as if something was waiting for them below.
A looming air current, rising from the gap in the wall.
As they went deeper, the two seemed to have reached the end, and she grabbed the torch on the wall and whispered, "Keep your head down, it's coming"
Zhang Er followed her and slowly leaned down, the entrance in front of him seemed to have become short, and his height of one meter eight almost had to squat down before he could enter.
After advancing for a few minutes, the road suddenly became flat, and the light in front of him became more and more dazzling, Zhang Er rubbed his eyes uncomfortably, but heard Shi Mi's voice.
"You're too slow, aren't you~ I knew I would sleep a little longer"
"There is also the benefit of waiting, let's bring the spirit seal", An glanced at her, walked over casually, and went straight to a statue in the center.
This statue, the person depicted is not the appearance of the Tmall clan, but a human being, eight feet tall, with powerful limbs, wearing a heavy armor, originally carved in stone, but its eyes are like gods, under the same gaze, Zhang Er actually felt that his heart stopped in an instant.
"Of course I brought it", she glanced at Zhang Er and laughed inexplicably, "I didn't expect you to be so willing, then take him cheaply, so that I can also see the outside world"
"What?" , Zhang Eryi was stunned, and seemed to understand from Shi Mi's words, why An has been like this for the past few days.
"If you shouldn't say it, you have to know to shut up", An glared, full of anger, and seemed to really don't want Zhang Er to know.
"Ann: Is that what you wanted to tell me the other day? Did you want to leave me a long time ago? Zhang Er walked up quickly and grabbed her hand, but didn't notice the trembling in the depths of Ann's eyes.
"Yes...", she took a deep breath and said slowly.
"I've had enough of you, what are the other trialists doing, what are you doing every day?"
"If there is no hope, I'd rather choose no!"
The hand that shook off made Zhang Er's heart sink to the bottom, and he looked at her eyes in disbelief, not knowing what to say, it was An's words, which made his brain go blank.
"What are you! Raising a dog also has to take care of its life and death! Zhang Er roared angrily.
"Take the holy artifact to activate the holy sword, transfer the divine seal, and you can go!" , An forcibly suppressed the tremor in his heart, and pretended to be calm and shouted.
Without giving Zhang Er any chance, An's palm lit up with a layer of twilight, and the whole thing was pressed into the groove under the statue.
The force that appeared from the flat push knocked Zhang Er several meters away.
Maybe all this has already been condensed in An's heart, but she has never dared to face it.
The sacred relic of the Tmall clan is a heart like a stone, slowly floating out of the crack of the statue.
Looking at Shi Xin, An was pious, and his heart was struggling, but he still shook his head and muttered to himself: "May you reach the other side... It is your words by all means. ”
An stretched out his hand, grabbed the palm set off by the light curtain, and threw it back, and the stone heart instantly sank into Zhang Er's chest.
"You really!"
The day in front of him was like a wilderness, but it was not as good as Zhang Er's lost heartbeat and the blackened world.
I just heard their conversation in a blur.
"I will fulfill the responsibilities of a thousand years ago, even if I remain alone here... Please be careful on the road..."
"It's too vain to kill, it should have been my responsibility"
"Then wait for him to wake up...", Shi Mi glanced at Zhang Er, who was lying on the ground covered with a stone heart.
"Now it's up to you to cover him," Ann smiled, wiping away tears that had slipped uncontrollably.
"Let's go", she took a deep breath and walked into the darkness without looking back, leaving only Shi Mi who blessed her and Zhang Er, who was in a coma with deep holy relics.
The hilt of the sword that was originally adhered to Zhang Shuang's heart was also more and more destroyed in the melting of the stone heart.
The rusty lines on it began to fall off, revealing their original appearance.
A slender light stretched out above the hilt.
The fragrance of the grass woke Zhang Er from his coma, and he seemed to see Ann who was drifting away in his dream, and tears like amber fell on his face.
Everything was like waking up from a dream, like a dream, which made him a little unbelievable.
"You're awake", Shi Mi's voice pulled him back.
After being silent for a long time, Zhang Er looked at her and smiled bitterly.
"Ann is gone, isn't she..."
"Yes", Shi Mi nodded.
"Why, can you tell me", he looked at the endless grassland and the dense rushing monsters, without any panic but calmly staring at Shi Mi.
"She has her mission, not just to be your oracle"
"But she is my divine envoy", Zhang Er's categorical tone made Shi Mi a little displeased.
"If you want to know, go back and ask her yourself, do you think I like you?"
Ann's actions can't be said to be for herself, but more for the current human race, as well as her own race.
The strongest monster in the Ascension Tower is not here, but in the depths of the underground of the Tmall clan.
The previous ascension ceremony was not only to break through the top of the tower, but also to seal this commander-level monster, but this time, for him, Ann used his thousand years of loneliness to seal the monster.
Among them, the most important thing is that the person with the godhead can be completely sealed, and the monster can die in a real sense this time.
This is the mistake left by An Feisheng before, and this time she will solve it personally.
Now they only need to break through the top of the tower to reach the end of the third trial, and what An has to bear is to wait for them to break the seal and use themselves to seal this monster that has plagued the Great Road of All Souls for thousands of years, so that there will be no more monster infestation on the continent.
This is her mission as an envoy, and it is also the way back for her to return to the Great Road of All Souls, Zhang Er unlocked the stone honey seal, it seems that it is all destined by heaven.
"I'll still see her!" When Zhang Er heard this, he suddenly came to his senses.
"Maybe", Shi Mi looked at the sky, not knowing what she was thinking.
The extinguished holy sword didn't attract his attention either, but he was used to the feeling of the worn-out hilt sticking to his hand.
And inside the chest, the depths of a stone heart that did not beat did not seem to be fully opened.
The green blade broke through the air, and the hordes of monsters, like rotten melons, were pierced through hundreds.
Zhang Er wanted to say hello again in person, he wanted to know why, the divine envoy who was with him could do it, but he couldn't do without her!
Shi Mi looked at Zhang Er, who suddenly came to his senses and began to chase after the small monster to kill, with a strange face.
"He may not know, no matter what, even if he sees it, he is not afraid"
"Humans, even if they are trialists, are still so weak and need the care of the divine envoy to grow, which is why she can't let go."
"Don't you think your attack has no rules", Shi Mi's cold voice came into Zhang Er's ears during the battle.
Seeing that Zhang Er didn't pay attention to her at all, Shi Mi was interested.
The figure moved quickly, reached Zhang Er's side, raised his foot and kicked, and kicked out the leg of Zhang Er, who was about to dodge the monster.
The monster was kicked several meters away.
"Attack is the best defense, blindly dodge, and you will get hurt in the end"
"Your posture is too low! Be taller so your enemies will fear you! ”
"Too slow, too slow, is this your fast movement"
Exhausted, Zhang Er lay on the grass, gasping for breath.
"Encore is much gentler than you..."
"Hehe, that's why you are like a waste", Shi Mi glanced at him disdainfully.
"The flowers that grow in the greenhouse can never stand the wind and rain, the light gives you the ability to protect you behind you, what is the difference between holding you and fighting"
"You said I can still see her, right", Zhang Er looked at the sky and asked Shi Mi, who was still reprimanding, stunned.
"Isn't it the same with me, are you so inseparable from her?"
"It's not that I can't do without, I don't want to be separated, I want to really let her look at me"
"Say Zhang Er, I can't accompany you on the road in the future, instead of walking away by yourself in such a vague way"
"I obviously felt her tears, but there was no way to stop it, I knew there must be something, but I didn't know."
After hearing this, Shi Mi fell silent.
Accompanied Zhang Er to sit on the ground, pondered slightly, and then said softly: "There are eighty-nine floors here, if you still want to see her, just go out and try it", she said indifferently.
"Eighty-nine?" , Zhang Er turned his head suspiciously, "Isn't it eighty-eight?" ”
"You'll know when you arrive, it's just that you're choking", Shi Mi couldn't tell him the whole story.
Now Zhang Er, even if she sees An, what's the use, can she help her block the commander-level monsters? It's the same as a joke.
"She gave you the heart of stone, which is a sacred relic of the Tmall clan, and has the most holy heart"
"I still have a word for you, do you want to listen to it", Shi Mi glanced at the hilt of the sword on Zhang's second-hand palm, and said.
"What's it!" When Zhang Er heard this, he hurriedly got up.
Shi Mi smiled slightly, learning Ann's tone: "Don't be afraid, I will always cover you." ”
She lied, but so what, I just thought that if this guy was looking for death and life every day, it would be better to cheer him up.
