The dead star was confused and silent for a while, choosing to put aside the question that he couldn't figure out. It said in a deep voice: "Including me, eight compatriots have already escaped from Angra's shackles. The power of death is no longer separate from me. Bloody Butcher and I alone can completely conquer Angra's capital. What do you think?"
Falke groaned and said, "Death and war? It sounds like it is time for revenge."
"Let's start heading for our destination," said the leader of the herd. "We'll set out early tomorrow morning."
On the other side, Yu Mengzhou took off his apron and put the tools inside back into the box one by one. Since coming here, his toolbox has been through many hardships and has seen a lot of things.
"I can't live without you, buddy." He murmured to himself, fastened the latch carefully, and was about to stand up when a light beside him flickered a few times and suddenly went out.
The thick darkness suddenly swallowed up the space that was once illuminated by it, and in his peripheral vision, he seemed to catch a glimpse of something passing by.
"Oh my god!" Yu Mengzhou couldn't help but shudder, "What the hell happened?"
"What's wrong?" Hearing his voice, Gao Er immediately stuck his head out, and the copper rings on his ears jingled. "What happened?"
Yu Mengzhou stood up with the toolbox in his hand, took two steps towards it, and looked at the dark field uncertainly, "It's just... there seemed to be something..."
"Thing?" Gao Er became alert. He walked in front of Yu Mengzhou and wherever his eyes swept across, the darkness seemed to be given life and turned into real surging waves, fluctuating noisily in the night.
It was a demon horse born from the shadow of the earth's core. The demonic realm at night was equivalent to its territory. However, Gao Er carefully sensed it and did not find anything wrong.
"Nothing special," it rubbed the human's arm. Now, the horses have mastered the correct strength when interacting with humans. "Maybe it's just a night wandering ghost, you misjudged it..."
"Night-wandering ghost?" Yu Mengzhou raised his voice unconsciously.
"Ah, there are no night-wandering ghosts, no, no!" Gao Er quickly patched up, "The plain is very clean, there is nothing!"
Yu Mengzhou was puzzled, but then he felt relieved.
"Maybe I didn't get enough rest during the day," he rubbed his eyes, "When people are sleepy, they tend to have hallucinations..."
Gao Er gently pushed him and said, "Then go to bed quickly. I know that humans need a good night's sleep."
Yu Mengzhou walked into the fortress sleepily. Gao Er was not in a hurry to catch up with him. Instead, he stepped on the lamp that suddenly went out and smashed it with one hoof.
Bad light.
That night, Yu Mengzhou sat up in the middle of his sleep in a daze. He felt dry mouth and was about to drink some water before lying down again.
He touched Falke's warm fur, supported Carol's neck, stood up crookedly, and began to move over mountains and hills towards Aquarius.
However, there was something strange. In the past, the first thing Falke would do when he opened his eyes was to look up and ask him what he needed. But tonight, the horses were silent, as if they were fast asleep...
Yu Mengzhou even took a special look at them. Their breathing was even, their eyelids were soft, and their abdomens rose and fell regularly... They really looked like they were fast asleep.
