"Brother, Xia Ming, what secrets are you two secretly chatting about in the kitchen behind my back?"

The girl who had changed her pants appeared behind the two of them like a fiery red elf.

"Nothing, Theresia."

Treed said lightly, "There's a lot of smoke in the kitchen, you can go out first." ”

The girl tilted her head cutely, looking at her brother's serious and cold expression.

One second.

Two seconds......

"Okay, then I won't bother my brother with you cooking, hard work, brother."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and pulled Xia Ming outside.

Noticing that the relationship between the two had progressed to the point of holding hands, Terred's eyes suddenly narrowed dangerously like a falcon and stared at Xia Ming.

While stir-frying the meat in the pot, he found a sausage out of nowhere, and pointed a kitchen knife at the sausage—

Click!

The sausages were cut into two pieces, then finely diced by him and added to the pot.

"I just thought about it, adding some diced sausages to fried meat should taste good." He was talking to himself in a serious way.

He thought, he had given his warnings and hints.

No matter how hard Xia Ming cares, he shouldn't dare to do anything proactive and excessive to his sister, right?

At this time, Xia Ming was pulled by Theresia to the bedroom on the second floor.

"Xia Ming, did you tell your brother about the phantom?"

"Not yet."

"Do you know, Xia Ming, the thick fog that you can't get out of and the phantom you see reminds me of a fairy tale that circulates in our Northland."

Theresia's eyes flashed with memory, and she slowly spoke:

"Once upon a time, an evil ice dragon ravaged the Northlands, and in order to maintain its brutal rule, it rained down boundless snowstorms and unleashed icy winds, demanding that humans sacrifice ten of their mightiest warriors to him every year to be devoured by him.

"When an invincible warrior heard of this, he took up his sword and stepped into the snow with all the righteousness and courage to find the dragon and put an end to its life and the ravages of the people. The evil dragon is no match for a warrior, and seeing that the dragon's horns are about to be cut off by a sharp sword and pierced into the heart, the evil ice dragon uses its magic and summons a white mist.

"The fog was endless, and the warrior lost his way in the thick fog, and no trace of the dragon could be found. A phantus appeared from the mist, it was the opposite of his other self full of malice and darkness, he said to him: 'As long as there is a trace of weakness and escape in your heart, you will never be separated from this mist', the warrior thought to himself that I am invincible, and in the face of any difficulties and enemies, I only have the courage to face difficulties, where will there be weakness and escape?

But at this moment, he suddenly remembered his dead wife, remembered that his wife had died unexpectedly under a series of chain reactions because of a small evil that he turned a blind to......

"The warriors never came out of the white mist, the dragon won the final victory, and the blizzard still raged on the snowfield, as it had been before, and as it would have been."

"The evil ice dragon in the story refers to the evil dragon under the command of the Ice King today?" Xia Ming said.

"I guess so. So ......"

Theresia was silent for a moment, pursed her lips, and said as if she had made up her mind, "After eating later, we'll go to the edge of the fog again." ”

She looked into Xia Ming's eyes.

"Would you like to try again, to see what the phantom looks like, or even to attack it?"

Xia Ming said slowly: "If you fail......"

"If that fails, I'll take you back and take care of you." Theresia said categorically.

"Is it okay? If I fail again, even at best, I'll fall into a coma again. Without my ability to purify evil, you and Terred may face another infestation from demonic beasts in the next few days, and even be forced to liberate their power once again. ”

"It's okay." Theresia took a deep breath.

"The phantom you said, I also want to see if it's me!"

Meal.

Theresia took Xia Ming's hand and secretly left the house without telling Treed.

The two of them quickly came to the edge of the dense fog, and they seemed to be able to leave this strange space and return to the normal world with only one step.

Ability [Psionic Disillusionment] is activated.

Xia Ming stretched out his hand and leaned out of the mist.

In an instant, the sea formed by the dense fog seemed to tremble strangely, and his spiritual energy and spirit were instantly depleted.

Something formed by powerful energy seemed to be shaken by him for a moment, revealing the essence of its core.

It was a humanoid figure with wings and a tail, casting a cold, silent gaze at him in some void space.

Snowy pale hair, emerald eyes, and the ......

"Xia Ming?"

"Xia Ming?!"

In Theresia's anxious and anxious call.

A familiar sense of confusion came, and Xia Ming had disappeared in place, being teleported to the cold floor of the Red Flame Shelter, and was once again unconscious.

Theresia pursed her lips and stepped out of the mist.

In the next moment, she was also teleported to the Red Flame Shelter and appeared beside Xia Ming.

She picked up his unconscious body and looked at the white mist that was surging around him like a tide to engulf the two of them, and fell into a state of confusion.

She didn't actually see anything just now.

It's just that at the moment when Xia Ming was teleported away, a palpitation suddenly appeared in her heart, a kind of fear that made her feel terrified.

She looked at the icy torch placed in the center of the sanctuary altar, where a warm and bright red flame should have burned to dispel the icy mist and bring warmth to the people.

However, all that remained was metallic frozen iron, gray, black, and dead silence.

The flames above had long since been extinguished, leaving only a dense fog engulfing the entire shelter.

The boundless fog symbolizes the dilemma of being confused and not knowing where to go.

It's a future that you want to escape from.

People get lost in the fog, wander in the fog, and finally let the boundless fog flood like a tide, engulfing and burying the self along with reality.

"Theresia?"

At that moment, a vague figure approached from the dense mist with a psionic barrier.

It was like a distant phantom, the thick fog stretched time and space, he seemed very close, but it seemed very far away.

Suddenly, another black shadow appeared behind the phantom, it was the Ice and Snow Demon Beast that moved at the sound of the sound.

At this moment, the hideous black shadow of the demonic beast was superimposed on the phantom, and from the direction of Theresia, it looked like a dragon-shaped phantom with wings and a tail.

The phantom finished the beast and came out of the thick fog.

"Brother?"

Theresia looked at the figure coming out of the fog.

The figure also had emerald eyes.

That's her brother.

Three days later.

Xia Ming woke up from his bed.

The girl waited by his bedside with the same haggard look as she had last time.

Seeing him wake up, the haggard look on her face disappeared, and in an instant she seemed to be back to her brilliance.

"Xia Ming, you're awake." She smiled playfully at him, with a bowl of warm chicken soup at her hand.

"You woke up around this time last time, so I asked my brother to prepare in advance. Well, the time estimate is still not accurate enough, and the chicken soup has cooled a little. ”

She touched the edge of the bowl with her finger and smiled apologetically, like a virtuous wife who took care of her husband.

"Wait a minute, I'll bring it down and let my brother warm it up for you."

She picked up the bowl and was about to get up, when Xia Ming suddenly reached out and pressed her wrist.

"Wait, Theresia."
