Chapter 15: Tracing and Meeting

Zhao Yingkong, walking in the wilderness.

She didn't need to go to the Yandi Shennong Cave like the rest of the Zhongzhou team and step into that battlefield that was destined to be chaotic. Because just like Zheng Zhe, who strongly demanded that she face the two main forces of the Celestial God Team alone, she had her own mission, a path that she had to go down alone.

Long before entering this world, Zhao Yingkong had already obtained special permission from Yang Yun to make a break with Zhao Yukong in this world...... A complete break.

For this reason, the assassin girl of the Zhongzhou team has been in the wilderness, chasing her brother for more than 20 days, and unswervingly stepping into the second final battlefield that does not belong to the Yandi Shennong Cave.

The other, a two-man battlefield for the Assassins.

The Assassin family taught not only the art of assassination and camouflage, but also how to track down their targets with precision. In the underworld, where targets are often cunning and there are endless ways to escape, it is crucial for Assassins to master tracking skills as an alternative to survival hidden behind assassinations.

It's just that the object that needs to be tracked down this time is just a mindless beast that has fallen into a demon and has been transformed by humans.

In the world of the Assassins, patience was a vital virtue.

A good assassin is always able to endure loneliness, to be as still as water, and not to be swayed by the passage of time. Successful assassinations are often not achieved overnight, requiring long-term tracking and observation, careful planning and layout.

Whether it is 10 days, 20 days, or even half a year of preparation, for them, it is only a necessary process to complete the task.

And for those beasts, although they may lack human intelligence, millions of years of evolution have given them extremely strong survival instincts. These instincts give them a fearsome anti-detection ability, allowing them to hide themselves in the middle of nowhere, hiding from hunters.

In particular, the targets that Zhao Yingkong tracks have both the danger sensing and keen perception of beasts, as well as anti-tracking capabilities and the skills of being an assassin.

Even in the abyss of losing his mind and falling into the abyss of madness, Zhao Fukong still retains the instincts and instincts of a genius assassin. He is able to skillfully erase the traces he has left behind, carefully camouflage his aura, and even lay all sorts of baits and traps to mislead his trackers. These actions, though instinctive, are still quite deceptive.

It was a contest between Assassins and Assassins, and a quiet, yet tense prelude.

However, Zhao Yingkong, who was also from a family of assassins, was also well aware of these tricks and methods, so despite the slight difficulty, she was able to catch Zhao Yukong's tail all the way without letting the prey disappear in the vast wilderness.

When you are sleepy, you will find a safe place to rest, and when you are hungry, you will start catching fish or hunting for wild fruits...... Without the nervous pressure of team battles, and without the restrictions of the main god space mission, in such a tracking rhythm, Zhao Yingkong's mind seemed to have traveled through time, saw his former appearance again, and returned to the years when he had not yet entered the main god space.

At that time, she was also on that resource-rich island, playing a game of "hide and seek" with her siblings.

- That's not a bad thing.

Zhao Yingkong thought so, her thoughts flowed like flowing water, calm and clear.

Those days in her childhood seemed to be a dusty picture, slowly unfolding in her heart, and when she recalled those past years, Zhao Yingkong's heart was not painful, but felt an unprecedented lightness.

This feeling is as if I have let go of my heavy baggage, reached a reconciliation with my past experience, and no longer let myself be bound by those painful memories and the shadows of the past.

But that's not a good thing.

Because today's Zhao Yingkong is completely different from the "Zhao Yingkong" on the island.

That Zhao Yingkong, her inner world was so simple and narrow, it seemed to be a tiny space, which could only accommodate her dearest brother and her sister Ruikong.

Her dreams are not grandiose or ambitious, all she yearns for is the unpretentious everyday life – with her brother and sister, sharing laughter and busyness in ordinary days, and traveling through the vast world together.

At that time, all she longed for was to become an ordinary person and live an ordinary life. In the heart of that innocent little girl, there was no complexity of power struggles within the Assassin family, no burden of bloody hands, only innocent emotions and simple happiness between the family.

But now Zhao Yingkong's heart has grown, expanded, and become extremely lenient, not only can she pretend to be one of her brothers and sisters, but also can embrace the shadows of those brothers and sisters in her childhood memories, and those relatives who grew up with her.

After stepping into the main god space, she had many more bonds in her heart—her comrades in the Middle-earth team, those who fought side by side with her on the edge of life and death. She has been through countless challenges and crises with them, and these experiences have made her heart stronger and more inclusive.

There is even a place in her heart, dedicated to Sister Instant, the woman who has a cold face most of the time, but has always been gentle in front of her. The existence of the moment added a special color to Zhao Yingkong's life.

Zhao Yingkong is no longer a little girl who only wants to be with her family, and what she pursues is far more than the simple wishes of the little girl in the past.

There is more love, more responsibility, and a wider sky in her heart.

How wide the heart is, how wide the dream is, how strong the strength is, then the more things you want.

Looking at the bright red blood stains dripping on the ground in front of her, Zhao Yingkong stood up, she could see that this drop of blood was deliberately left by Zhao Yukong, and she also knew that her goal was not far away.

This process of tracking Zhao Yingkong is essentially Zhao Yingkong's path of asking about himself. Every step she takes is a process of refining her will, spirit, and strength, and every decision she makes is a practice of deepening her instincts and skills as an assassin.

- Now, the road has come to an end.

"Long time no see......"

The voice drifted softly, and Zhao Yingkong climbed the not very steep hill step by step. When her steps finally stopped, she was greeted by a flat ground softly decorated with white reeds. The rising sun showed a shy face from the east, and the golden light pierced through the morning mist and sprinkled on the man in front of him, making his blood-mist-shrouded figure stand out in distinction.
