But......

The horror in my heart had climbed to its peak, and all sorts of horrific and bloody images vaguely appeared in my mind...... The hideous and terrifying face, the fierce and low roar, the sharp and cold claws, and his own body that was gradually being torn apart, the sticky and hot blood spilled on the trunks, branches and leaves, and the dirt, and the rolling eyes still carried lingering fear and unwillingness......

Suddenly, I found that my whole body was already wet with fine cold sweat, and to make matters worse, I couldn't command my limbs flexibly, as if most of the nerves had been disconnected from the limbs that had been extended from my limbs, like a puppet missing a few vital traction wires, no matter how much I struggled, it just stiffly responded to me without a call, doing some inconsequential movements.

My heart dropped to freezing all at once......

Is it because the miasma that surrounds the forest is causing my body to be poisoned?

Or has fear taken over my body silently......

I knew that black iron spear-like thing must be the limb of some kind of terrifying monster, and I hope it just happened to be here, and I hope it didn't notice my presence, and maybe it wasn't one of the violent and ferocious beasts......

Time passes bit by bit and seems to be slowed down tens, if not hundreds...... I could clearly hear my heart beating violently, and the low sound of war drums echoing through the quiet forest was particularly clear and abrupt. Never did it feel like time could be so slow, and never felt like it was going to be so hard to breathe and heartbeat. I wanted to close my eyes and not look at what was about to happen, but I couldn't close my eyelids and couldn't even take my eyes off it......

Maybe that's how the body was eroded by great fear......

The only thing that can be done is to wait...... Waiting in silence......

Survive...... Or death......

I don't know how long it took, the black spear finally pulled out of the soft soil, and then silently and slowly drew a cold arc in my vision, and stabbed heavily into the dirt in front of me again, and then out of the thick fog came another identical black spear, and then at the top of the two spears, you could vaguely see the huge body that had been piled up, as if countless huge black flesh pieces of different shapes were stacked on top of each other. Every time the black spear was raised from the ground and stabbed down, the body of the pile of meat pieces would tremble faintly, like the fat meat of a huge fat man tumbling up and down when he ran violently, but unlike the fat on the human fat man, the pile of black meat in front of him exuded a fierce and rich fishy smell, as well as a suffocating breath of death......

Its heavy and strange body was supported by eight identical black spears, or eight identical black spears were the feet that extended from this guy's weird flesh, the general shape was somewhat similar to that of a spider, and even the pace of moving forward was extremely similar, the only difference was that the body that seemed to be stacked with countless pieces of black flesh was not like a spider's body, but more like a pile of gradually decomposing corpses that had been discarded at random after the end of the war, a body composed of countless decaying corpse pieces.

Thankfully, this huge and terrifying monster doesn't seem to notice my presence, or rather, it doesn't bother to notice my presence, maybe it doesn't have the sight and sound or even the sense of smell to observe its prey at all, right?

It walked forward with a slow, lazy pace, the undulating black flesh of the waves trembling continuously, and eight black sharp spears pierced through one bush and rock after another that stood in its way, some of the smaller rocks were broken on the spot, and some of the larger ones were pierced through a terrible hole, and the bushes whose branches were not strong enough were cut off in an instant. A black liquid could even be seen on the faintly trembling body flowing slowly down the cracks between the pieces of flesh, dripping into the soil mixed with leaves and animal carcasses, and then, with a "boom-" sound, wisps of green smoke came out. It is like a relentless sweeping weapon, ruthlessly destroying and stripping all life in its path.

It's definitely the most disgusting and eerie image I've ever seen, with the smell of the stench and the constant turning of carrion-like pieces of flesh to make people feel desperate and terrifying like never before. The huge nausea that came in vain seemed to be an invisible hand through my chest, stirring the internal organs in my body together, and then the narrow chest cavity seemed to boil all at once, and a burning sensation surging up from the stomach wall rushed all the way to my mouth along the slender esophagus, and the only remaining consciousness finally fell apart at this moment......

When I came back to my senses, I realized that before I knew it, I had collapsed to the ground and vomited violently, cold and pale, and my mind was still cold and nauseous that penetrated deep into my bone marrow......

At the same time, what made me feel even more desperate was that I subconsciously seemed to feel that I was being stared at by a huge pupil at this moment, and the cold gaze was like an unsheathed sword, hanging high in front of my forehead, and an instinctive sense of crisis instantly rushed into my mind......

I stiffened my head, and the huge and strange scarlet pupils were gradually reflected in my violently trembling eyes, which still looked extremely distorted and abrupt even on such a large body of the monster. Distorted, this huge pupil is not growing in front of the monster, judging from its symmetrical eight legs on the left and right, the monster at this moment is still maintaining the route just now, and this huge pupil is staring at me from the front, the monster's eyes are actually on the outside of the body, and what is sudden, this pupil is still a little too huge even on such a huge monster, as if its entire body is a huge eyeball.

The air fell silent, the monster stopped moving, I stopped vomiting, and even the pounding heartbeat and heavy wheezing that had just now seemed to stand still. The whole world was occupied by the pupil that seemed to be full of blood, and the abrupt and strange blood-colored pupil reflected the figure of decadence and despair......

In the next second, there was a sharp hissing sound in the sky overhead, as if the cry of a baby had been amplified countless times, and like the harsh noise of sharp metal cutting through each other. The huge sound pressure was like a transparent ripple shrouded in an instant, as if countless man-eating ants were gnawing at the body at the same time, and the muscles and skin of all parts of the body seemed to be gradually torn apart in the violent trembling range, and all the pain quickly reached the depths of the brain through the nerves in a short moment, forming unbearable severe pain, and the whole person's mind fell into an endless abyss in an instant.

The last thing I saw in my blurred vision was a sharp black spear falling silently from the sky, the sharp head of which was pointed straight at my eyebrows......

Final Consciousness......

I'm done......

"Yo, little ghost, good evening!"

A magnetic and even teasing male voice suddenly sounded in his ears, the weird screams suddenly disappeared, and the tearing sensation from all over his body quietly disappeared. I slowly opened my blurred eyes, and a majestic figure as awe-inspiring as a small hill stood in front of me. Standing between me and the monster to be exact, the monster's steely forefoot pierced through his shoulder blades, as well as through his expensive, neat black gown. Sticky blood slowly flowed from the broken hole in the gown, leaving a vague trail of blood on the black gown. But there was not the slightest pain and forbearance in the voice of the man in front of him, and even the faint smile flowed from his slightly raised face, like a pleasant and warm afternoon in the back garden full of flowers on an early summer afternoon.

"You ......" is a mixture of toughness and femininity, the angular outline is a finely carved facial features, his high nose bridge, deep eyebrow bones, thin lips all make people have an unforgettable feeling, indeed, I am sure this face is something I will never forget in my life, it is he who blocked the sharp blade thrown by the god of death......

"It really hurts......" He slowly stretched out a hand and pressed it lightly on top of my frightened head, and then with the other hand pulled out a slender silver sword from the cane stuck in the dirt, the blade reversed, a cold cold light flashed, and the forelimb that pierced the shoulder blade of the handsome man was severed in unison. The huge monster staggered backwards, its severed forelimbs constantly bleeding viscous black liquid, which dripped into the dirt and emitted wisps of cyan smoke, and the shrill screams came again, surprisingly this time not with the unbearable pain of the first time.

"It's okay......" The man smiled slightly at me who was still shrouded in terror, and then pulled out the monster's forelimbs that remained in his shoulder blades, and he didn't frown the whole time, letting blood continue to gush out of the wound, he turned around indifferently and roared in the face of the monster that couldn't stop roaring and trying to attack again, "Get out!"

An indescribably huge soul power surged out from his burly body, and he just stood there indifferently with his sword in his hand, but it gave people a heavy sense of oppression. Even the monster's roar came to an abrupt halt, and it stiffly stopped moving forward, and its huge blood-colored pupils suddenly grew back to the middle of its body at some point, reflecting the deep convulsions of the man's body, which was actually a strong shock or fear.

"I said it, get out of here!" the man's deep voice sounded again, with suppressed anger, and a cold edge flashed in his gradually retracted eyes, like a sharp blade cutting through the night sky, with an aggressive aura.

As if waking up from a dream, the monster retracted its limbs and feet that had stopped in mid-air and probed forward, slowly closed its trembling giant pupils, and cautiously retreated backwards, as if it was afraid of disturbing the terrible man not far away, and slowly and quietly retracted into the depths of the thick mist......

"Good...... It's amazing!" The monster that had been fierce and violent a moment ago suddenly flinched like a lost dog, and I couldn't help but let out a heartfelt exclamation.

"Really? hahaha......." The man touched his head as if he was a little embarrassed, turned around and asked with concern, "Little ghost, are you not hurt?"

"No, thank you big brother for saving me. A wave of warmth rose in my heart in vain, and I looked at the handsome face gratefully, and blood was still oozing from his broad shoulders, "Big brother's wound ......"

"It's okay if you're okay, my minor injuries don't matter. Next time, don't run into such a dangerous place because you're not so lucky to run into me again. The man leaned down gently, stretched out an arm to me, and his face was filled with a faint warmth, "Come, I'll carry you out!"

"Big brother, can you tell me your name?" I handed my hand to the man without hesitation.

"Of course, the big brother's name is Yusri Mars!" the man took the arm I handed me and put me on his back, "So, what about your name?"

"My name?" I lay on the man's thick and strong back, breathing in the crisp fragrance of his body, and suddenly I had a lot of thoughts, and suddenly my big round eyes looked at the man's handsome silhouette with great longing, "Will I be as powerful as my big brother one day?"

"Huh?" The man was obviously a little stunned, but then a huge shock gradually appeared in his pupils, because he suddenly found that the soul power flowing in my body was huge and deep, like a bottomless abyss, "Of course, sooner or later, one day you will become more powerful than the big brother!"

"Really?" I cried out in ecstasy, but soon my face was filled with frustration again, "But, my father told me that my elemental affinity is too low to become a magician, how can I become as powerful as my big brother?"

But there is a lot of helplessness and despair in this world, as well as unexpected miracles and myths. The man raised his glowing pupils and said meaningfully, "Don't give up at any time, believe in yourself!"

"Huh, really?" said my face full of despondency, as if hope had sprouted again.

"Well, really!" the man nodded vigorously in the affirmative again.

"Then the day when my Barrow Justter becomes stronger, can my big brother have a duel with me?!"

"Duel, why do you have to duel me?"

"Because I want to be as powerful as Big Brother!"

"Yes, I see!" the man turned his face slightly and looked at the little boy with big round eyes on his shoulder with a serious expression, "Barrow Just, I accept your challenge!"
