Although Tylor aggressively told Kaxiu that Shang Ke wanted to live in his mansion, Shang Ke left with Kaxiu happily in the end, completely ignoring the resentment on Tylor's face that seemed to be smoked.
On the way home, Kaxiu looked at the young man beside him, with handsome facial features, eyes like waves, and long black hair pouring down, with a silky luster. There is an air of relaxation and joy in every gesture. What's more, he has a pure character and a strong will, and it doesn't seem strange that Tylor would like him.
"What's wrong?" Shang Ke tilted his head to look at Kaxiu.
Pupu also turned to look at him: what happened
"No, it's nothing." Kaxiu quickly retracted his gaze, the glance just now made his heart beat a little faster. Originally planned to ask about his relationship with Tylor, but he couldn't ask. But as long as he thought that Shang Ke would be with Tylor one day, he felt a little heartbroken.
In fact, Tylor was as heartbroken as he was, watching the person he liked leave with another man, and he couldn't be in a good mood.
Before they could sort out their feelings, all countries in the continent responded to the call of Shengya Empire and agreed to participate in the action of sealing the Devil's Tree.
The mission is set, and the seal starts.
The warriors are gearing up to go to the swamp abyss.
No one knew how dangerous this sealing operation was. Although he didn't know the exact number of people, he still remembered that almost all the people who went deep into the hinterland were almost wiped out. Even if it only entered the marginal area, it was a heavy loss, and most of the people who were alive left a psychological shadow. So that in the second action, the number was reduced by two-thirds.
Therefore, Shang Ke didn't have much confidence in this operation. He could only try to gather the warriors who persisted until the end as much as possible, and use his advantage of absorbing devil energy to protect them all the way to the hinterland of the abyss.
This time Tylor also joined Kaxiu's team and acted with them. Shang Ke also asked Tylor for two other people, one was the captain of the guard Max who had provoked him before, and the other was the gardener Simbi.
It's understandable to find Max, but what the hell is a gardener? Tylor and Kaxiu both expressed incomprehension.
Shang Ke said: "The power of belief is not divided into high and low, and sealing the Devil's Tree requires different beliefs, so the more types, the better."
Then you don't have to choose a gardener! It's not that I look down on the profession of a gardener, but this one is so frustrating! He was wearing a shirt and wallet on his upper body, a grass skirt on his lower body, and a pair of grass boots on his feet! A whole performance art madman, okay
With him joining, the whole team's style of painting is wrong!
However, after Shang Ke's argument, everyone reluctantly agreed. In the end, there were twenty-three people in the team, including Kaxiu's companions, Amy, Vidora, Fred, Yuyi, and Duru. Most of the rest were from Tylor.
Everyone packed their bags and set off together at the agreed time.
Along the way, he deliberately distanced himself from Simbi, but Shang Ke didn't care. These ignorant people of the Outer Description Association would not have thought that this gardener was the first strongman to reach the center of the abyss in the two seals of the heart, and he was also one of the last five warriors who came back alive.
He believes in "nature". Although his behavior and aesthetics are a little weird, his psychological quality is estimated to be stronger than that of everyone present. Well, so does the thickness of the skin.
"Shang Ke, this one you made is really good, teach me." Xinbi looked at the mantis that Shang Ke had made for Pupu, his eyes lit up.
"Okay." Shang Ke agreed with a smile.
Two people with completely different styles get along strangely.
Tylor just watched during the day, and brought him and Pupu into his tent at night. Every time Kaxiu set up the tent, he got in their way so that he could keep an eye on what was going on inside. As soon as he found something was wrong, he would rush over.
But with Pupu around, no matter how Tylor thought about it, she wouldn't really do anything to Shang Ke.
The past few days have been quiet and nothing unexpected has happened. On the way, I also met many teams, some were friendly, some were more distant, and everyone kept a short distance and moved towards the destination together.
Until the evening of the sixth day, everyone found a place of corpses less than thirty miles from the edge of the swamp abyss, and the peace of several days was finally broken.
Nearly 50 people died, and the state of death was tragic, and the bloodstains seemed to be still dry.
"It should be done by a group of devil apostles. The opponent is very strong and merciless." The guards reported after checking.
Tylor frowned and didn't say much, just reminded everyone to be careful.
Several groups of people marched for a few more miles before they stopped and set up camp before nightfall.
At night, all sounds were silent, only the night wind was blowing.
At this time, Tylor who had closed his eyes suddenly opened his eyes, quietly got out of the tent, and came out with him, as well as Kaxiu, Max and others.
A few people were about to make a warning when the camp was attacked.
Shang Ke was awakened by a noise, he walked quickly to the camp, opened a gap and looked outside, only to see Tylor and the others fighting fiercely with a group of sneak attackers.
Just as he was fascinated, a small head suddenly stretched out, almost sticking out of the tent. Shang Ke hurriedly pulled Pupu into his arms, and whispered, "Stay here, don't run out, you know?"
Pupu saw that Shang Ke had a serious expression, and a solemn expression appeared on his little face. He nodded again and again, and remained motionless in his arms.
Shang Ke hid in the tent while holding Pupu, while nervously paying attention to the movement outside.
He is now a frail body who can breathe a few more steps, it is best to stay in the corner honestly and not go out to cause trouble. He believed that with Kaxiu's "protagonist" halo and Tylor's strength, it would not be a problem to deal with dozens of lower-level apostles.
"Quincy, over there." Tylor's shout suddenly entered Shang Ke's ears.
Quincy? Shang Ke's face changed slightly, isn't this the traitor who murdered Tylor
Strangely, he knew everyone in the team, but there was no one named "Quincy".
Shang Ke opened the tent and looked over there.
It turned out to be him, Quinkes, the captain of the bodyguard beside Tylor, and "Quincy" should be his nickname.
Luckily I found it early! Otherwise, Shang Ke would likely miss the opportunity to save Tylor. In the original development, the truth of Tylor's death was a mystery in the end. No one knows that the second prince of the empire, Tylor, who was once famous, died at the hands of his most trusted friend and personal guard.
The two stars of Guangsong Academy, one died unexpectedly, and the other plunged into darkness. I have to say that this is a great tragedy.
But Shang Ke is here, and he will never let the tragedy repeat itself.
At this moment, a "tear" sound was suddenly heard, the tent was slashed by a sharp blade, and the distance between the tip of the sword was less than ten centimeters.
Shang Ke hurriedly took a few steps back with Pupu in his arms. In these few seconds, several gaps were opened in the tent.
Shang Ke frowned, the demonic energy in his body surged, the brilliance in his eyes flickered, and the coercion that belonged to the king-level apostle suddenly erupted.
A sneak attack seemed to have discovered Shang Ke's existence. He was about to attack the tent, but was almost knocked over by the pressure.
Because Shang Ke had absorbed a lot of demonic energy during this period, the pressure of the king-level apostle on him did not disappear, but instead had a more bluffing effect.
The sneak attacker was horrified and stepped back a few steps, not daring to approach the tent again.
Tylor and Kaxiu had already seen the sneak attacker approaching the tent where Shang Ke was, and they had already made preparations for rescue. Who knew that guy seemed to be juggling, jumping on it and bouncing back, as if he saw something terrible.
Naturally, Tylor and the others would not be soft-hearted, and took the opportunity to send him to hell.
"Shang Ke, are you all okay?" Tylor stood in front of the tent and looked back inside.
"It's okay." Shang Ke asked, "How is the situation outside?"
Tylor looked around and replied, "It has been resolved."
All the attackers were eliminated, and everyone began to clean up the scene.
Shang Ke walked out of the tent with Pupu in his arms.
Seeing this bloody scene, Pupu didn't show any fear. Shang Ke had already discovered this point. Although Pupu's intelligence is lower than that of ordinary children, perhaps because of this, she has no fear of death.
Her world is very simple, only likes and dislikes, there is no worldly cognition of good and bad.
After a while, a few people from the other two nearby camps walked out to find Tylor, exchanged their views on the sneak attackers, and finally decided to combine several teams. Unified management makes it easier to concentrate on dealing with the next crisis.
"Lord Tylor, who is this?" A well-built female warrior looked at Shang Ke with interest in her eyes.
"Osari." Tylor put his hand behind his waist, which is obviously a very common move, but it seems to be declaring sovereignty.
The female warrior is a rough-hearted woman, she didn't understand the deep meaning of it at all, she said to Shang Ke, "I see that you have prepared all the meals in your camp these days. Provide some and we'll pay."
"No problem." Shang Ke agreed with a smile, "As long as you don't dislike it."
"I don't dislike it, I don't really dislike it." They smelled the fragrance of other people's rice and couldn't eat it for several days, okay? !
The captain of the other team was quite wary of Shang Ke, his eyes filled with inquiry.
The next day, the group continued on the road and entered the boundary of the swamp abyss in the afternoon. The demonic energy here is obviously much stronger than other areas, and everyone suddenly felt extremely depressed. Everyone's expressions seemed to be so bitter and bitter, only Shang Ke, Pupu and the gardener were as usual.
On the first night in the swamp abyss, no one could sleep, and even if he forced himself to sleep, he would wake up in a nightmare.
The atmosphere in the team became extremely tense, and all kinds of negative emotions were pouring in, which could not be stopped.
At this moment, several intermittent notes sounded in the dark night, and then they were linked together like a string of beads, turning into a crisp and pleasant tune.
The people in the tent came out one after another and looked at the source of the song.
A man in a robe sat cross-legged by the fire with a harp in his hand, playing softly. He has long black hair, sprinkled straight on the carpet, his expression is gentle, the brilliance of the flame is reflected in his eyes, and the notes of his fingers dance and dance in the silent night, like magic, to disperse all the magic around him, and everyone's heart is suppressed. His mood also eased, and the dignified atmosphere just now disappeared without knowing it.
