Lin Kong always thought that he had come to the beginning of creation, or the end of the world, and that the Blue Star would only exist in his distant dreams, but he did not expect to see a familiar moon.
"Crash..."
A sound of water splashed, which sounded particularly clear in the quiet forest. Lin Kong pressed Helemis against a large rock and kissed her, breathing heavily, with his lower body immersed in the gurgling stream. The air was a little stuffy, but the occasional cool breeze would always clear their confused brains a little.
Lin Kong asked in a low voice: "Why doesn't the moon turn red anymore?"
Helemis clung to him tightly, her eyes blank, her mouth opened and closed silently as she heard him speak, but it was difficult to hear clearly because of her wet silver hair sticking to her cheeks.
Lin Kong leaned forward slightly: "What did you say?"
He always paid the price for his curiosity, because the next second Helemis bit his earlobe viciously, pulled him back into the water with a splash, twisted his body, and was more flexible than a mermaid in the cold stream.
[nothing dealing with you.]
Helemis' voice was slightly hoarse, still as cold and impatient. He held Lin Kong's neck tightly, not satisfied that he was asking such irrelevant questions in this situation, not paying attention at all.
[Whether it is the red moon or the silver moon, it has no effect on you. ]
Lin Kong discovered this by accident when he was packing his luggage that day. His cell phones had run out of battery and were turned off a long time ago, but when he checked the next day, he found that one of them suddenly had 80% more battery. After asking carefully, he found out that Helemis had tried to transfer energy into it.
Lin Kong said he was going to move back to the cave, but he didn't make any moves in the next few days. He lived peacefully in a corner of the temple. It was because Helemis' energy could charge his mobile phone!!!
The only constraints are these Zerg.
Helemis said calmly: [That is the remains of the gods, it has existed since the beginning of all things, we cannot build it, and it will no longer exist after it collapses.]
Even though he couldn't build a high-rise building, he could still build a small wooden house.
What this means is that you'd better just sleep in the cave.
Lin Kong raised his eyebrows: "It's just building a house, who can't do it?"
There are so many tall buildings on the earth, and none of them is better than this dilapidated palace. They were all built by humans.
Lin Kong thought to himself, of course you feel comfortable, I am the one who did all the hard work. I don't know if it's because Helemis gave him too much vitality, Lin Kong always feels that his physique seems to be stronger than before, but he can't tell exactly where it is stronger.
Lin Kong was so happy that he wanted to roll on the ground. God knew how bored he was in the dense forest. Even if his mobile phone could not connect to the internet, there were only some stupid games like Candy Crush Saga on it, which were enough for him to play for several months.
"Let's go back to bed."
Lin Kong choked when he heard this, and said confidently: "Yes... Yes, of course I can. Call all those Zergs over some other time, and I'll teach them how to build a house."
Done~
"You're right, aren't you?"
Hermes understood his hint, but did not feel embarrassed. Instead, she lazily said, "It's more comfortable in the water."
Lin Kong put on his clothes on the shore and then picked up Helemis. He subconsciously put his coat on the other's head, then realized that he didn't need to block the moonlight now, so he pulled it off again.
Lin Kong thought that Helemis was still so arrogant in bed, did he really think that he would not punish him? "Why is there no impact? If it is Silver Moon in the future, we don't have to hide in the cave every day..."
Helemis asked back: [Can you? ]
It was dark at night, and the roads were crowded. Lin Kong simply carried Helemis on his back and walked towards the temple with one foot deep and one foot shallow: "Let's move the things back to the cave tomorrow. The temple is in such a mess. What if it collapses?"
Lin Kong suddenly turned around and asked, "Hey, how was that temple built? Can we build a similar house so that we don't have to sleep in a cave in the future?"
Helemis had never been carried on someone's back before, so he felt a little strange in this position, but it was not uncomfortable. He lowered his eyes to look at Lin Kong, stretched out his hand to touch the other person's black hair, and did not care about this matter: [Whatever.]
Because they hadn't done it in a long time, their time this time was exceptionally long. In the end, Helemis was a little tired of dealing with it. He squinted his eyes and lay comfortably on Lin Kong's shoulder, like a wild beast with its claws retracted, allowing him to rub and knead as he pleased.
Lin Kong was like a traveler who had been thirsty in the desert for a long time and finally found a spring. He held his phone tightly in his hand for the next week. He either took selfies in the dense forest or took pictures of the scenery. At night, he just lay on the bed and played games. He secretly regretted that he could not connect to the Internet, otherwise he would definitely be popular in the entertainment industry if he did a live broadcast.
Helemis was very dissatisfied with this, so when Lin Kong asked him to help transfer energy to the phone again, he directly refused: [Take it.]
Lin Kong was stunned for a moment when he heard this: "Why? Don't you have enough energy?"
How could Helemis not have enough energy? He simply hated the feeling of being ignored. He asked coldly, "What's so fun about this black box that you should hold it in your arms every day?"
Lin Kong finally came to his senses after hearing this. Was Helemis jealous? He smiled and moved closer to Helemis, nudging him gently with his arm: "Hey, I just played a game for a while. It's boring for me to stay here every day. You can go out hunting, but I can't do anything."
Helemis frowned: [I will take you hunting. ]
Lin Kong coaxed him: "Okay, I'll go with you in two days. Please help me charge my phone first so I can play another game."
After he finished speaking, he handed his hot mobile phone to Helemis, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.
Helemis was so angry that he almost crushed his phone. At this moment, he heard a commotion outside. Several low-level tribal insects wearing animal skins came in. They knelt respectfully outside the temple, bowed their heads and touched their shoulders:
[King, we just found Jia Yan's whereabouts in Black Rock Mountain, but he accidentally escaped. We are here to report this to you.]
Helemis did not impose a mental imprint on his people like the previous Insect King did, so after Jia Yan defected to the North, his whereabouts were hard to find, and he could only rely on the Zerg under him to search for him on a large scale in the dense forest.
Ever since Lin Kong's death, Helemis had been staying by his side almost all the time in order to maintain the operation of the formation, and had not been able to free up his hands to deal with Jia Yan. Now, when he heard that he had appeared in the north, his eyes flashed, and he immediately stood up and walked out of the temple.
Lin Kong had a bad feeling and immediately stopped playing with his phone and hurried over.
Helemis walked to the outside and saw three or four low-level Zerg kneeling on the ground, with varying degrees of fighting injuries on their bodies. He asked without any emotion: [Did you fight him?]
One of the Zerg said tremblingly: [King, we are useless. We couldn't defeat Jia Yan and let him escape.]
Jia Yan is a servant of God after all. These low-level Zerg are no match for him at all. It is not surprising that he escaped.
Helemis narrowed his eyes coldly, his voice seemed to be mixed with ice: [Are you sure he is in Blackrock Mountain? ]
The Zerg lowered his head even deeper: [Confirmed, it is inside the largest cave in Blackrock Mountain.]
Blackrock Mountain is located in the north, where few people go. Not to mention ordinary Zerg, even birds won't fly there. It is a good idea for Jia Yan to hide there.
[Got it, you guys leave.]
After Helemis finished speaking, he spread his wings behind him, stirring up a strong wind, and it seemed that he was going to chase him in person. Seeing this, Lin Kong subconsciously stopped him: "Hey, where are you going?"
Hearing this, Helemis paused and turned to look at him: [Black Rock Mountain, do you want to go? ] Lin Kong had been injured by Jia Yan before, so it would be nice to let him see with his own eyes how the other party paid the price.
After Helemis finished speaking, he didn't wait for Lin Kong to reply, but grabbed his shoulders and flew into the sky together. Lin Kong screamed in fear, but because the speed was too fast, the sound was swallowed by the wind. He could only close his eyes nervously and wait for landing.
It is already midsummer, but when flying to the north, Lin Kong can clearly feel the temperature getting chilly, and the area below is covered with mutated black vine trees, which are lifeless and gloomy. At first glance, it looks like a ghost forest.
Helemis had been using his mental power to search for living creatures beneath the dense forest. Finally, as if he had discovered something, he turned around and dived down, bringing Lin Kong to a group of black mountains.
“Woo-woo—”
There are countless Kasyapa snakes lurking here. They like to make their nests in caves. The nearby mountains are like a piece of honeycomb coal, corroded by their venom and riddled with holes. When the wind blows, the sound is like the cry of ghosts, which is inexplicably creepy.
When Lin Kong landed, he was blown so hard that he couldn't even open his eyes. He pulled at his loose coat with difficulty, looked around and asked, "Are you sure Jia Yan is in a place like this?"
This place doesn't look like a habitable place at all. There's not even any prey, only poisonous insects, rats and ants.
Helemis closed his eyes and said nothing. He stood high on the mountain, his black robe rustling in the wind, as if he was searching for something with his mental power. After a few seconds, he suddenly opened his eyes and smashed the cave on the right with one palm:
"boom!"
There was a deafening explosion, and rocks from the mountain flew everywhere. A black figure "whoosh" escaped from the mountain and landed lightly among the mountains on the opposite side. He had red hair and green eyes, and it was Jia Yan.
[Hermes, you finally found this place! ]
Jia Yan was wearing a ragged black robe and looked very ugly. He was clutching his right arm tightly, blood was flowing out from between his fingers, and it was obvious that he was injured, no wonder he had to hide in this shabby place.
A ball of dark blue spiritual power had gathered in Helemis's right hand. He stared at Jia Yan with a gloomy look. His voice was calm, but it could not hide his murderous intent: [I want your heart.]
Helemis was always so serious when fighting. Jia Yan had stabbed Lin Kong in the heart before, so it was only fair for him to stab him back now.
Upon hearing this, Jia Yan realized that Lin Kong was standing behind Helemis. His pupils shrank and he asked in shock: [You are still alive?!]
Lin Kong poked his head in from behind and said, "Nonsense, if you are alive, why can't I be alive?"
Jia Yan couldn't help but tighten his grip on the wound, sweat dripping down his face. He gritted his teeth and said word by word: [I didn't want to kill you at first, I just wanted to save my life.]
[I don't want to kill you either, I just want to settle the score. ]
Helemis's skill in getting people angry was not much worse than Lin Kong's. He never liked to talk nonsense when he took action. After he finished speaking, he flew towards Jia Yan, so fast that only a trace of his shadow could be seen.
Jia Yan was shocked when he saw this and could only dodge in a panic. However, he was no match for Helemis before, and now he was seriously injured. After less than a few dozen rounds, he was knocked down from mid-air by the opponent and fell heavily to the ground.
"puff!"
Jia Yan suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his throat was full of sweet and fishy taste. He struggled to get up and wanted to escape, but Helemis had already chased him from behind. The nails on his right hand grew rapidly, and he fiercely stabbed Jia Yan's heart from behind.
[Ahhh!!!]
Jia Yan's eyes were bloodshot from the pain and he let out a cry of agony. At the same time, the sun in the sky suddenly dimmed, and large dark clouds gathered overhead, accompanied by a gust of wind.
Helemis ignored them, with a fierce look in his eyes, and was just about to take out Jia Yan's heart, but there was a loud "boom" and a muffled thunder suddenly struck from the sky and landed right at their feet, as if God was stopping something without leaving a trace.
Lin Kong was shocked when he saw this: "Hermes, danger! Come back quickly!"
Lin Kong always felt that this lightning came inexplicably, and ran forward to pull Helemis back, but Helemis was unwilling to give up like this, and chopped Jia Yan's head with his right palm, trying to absorb his mental power.
“Boom!!”
Now the lightning in the sky became more intense, and another one struck towards Helemis. If he had not dodged quickly, he would have been struck by it.
[Damn it, how could this happen! ]
Helemis cursed coldly, looking at his charred palm with an extremely ugly expression.
Jia Yan covered his chest and crawled for a distance with difficulty. He coughed up blood again. He stared at Helemis with a bleak look and forced a smile: [Heremis... have you forgotten... there was a prophecy on the wall of the temple... ]
[If the God Servant disappears, the Zerg will also perish... ]
[Dong Ning is already dead. If I die in your hands, you and Xue Amber will be the only servants of God left... and you are already the new Insect King. Xue Amber is the only servant of God, which violates the law of pairs set by God...]
Helemis narrowed his eyes coldly: [It has nothing to do with me! ]
Jia Yan said intermittently: [I already knew that you didn’t care about these things, otherwise you wouldn’t have killed the Insect King…]
[Anyway, the Insect King is dead. Without insects to lay eggs and reproduce, we will become extinct in a few years... If you want to kill me, go ahead. It's the law of the jungle. I'm not as good as you...]
He closed his eyes as if resigned to his fate, quietly waiting for death to come. Dark clouds rolled in the sky, and thunder roared, as if it was a silent warning from the heavens to Helemis.
Lin Kong felt inexplicably flustered. He held down Helemis's hand and pulled him behind him: "Forget it, Helemis, let's go. We don't need to stay here anymore."
Helemis looked at his empty right hand, unwillingly: [I said I wanted his heart.]
Lin Kong thought, your hands have been chopped into charcoal, why do you need a heart? "His heart can't be eaten or drunk, why do you want it?"
Helemis frowned fiercely: [He hurt you! ]
Lin Kong was quite easy to talk to: "He did hurt me, but didn't you just help me fight back? Let's call it a draw."
Lin Kong didn't want to be a scapegoat, but he was more afraid that Helemis would be struck to death by lightning. He had just gotten out of singlehood and didn't want to be a widow.
Hearing this, Helemis said nothing and looked up at the sky. The rolling dark clouds and strong winds were like the murderous intent in his heart, rising and falling with his angry emotions.
There was indeed a prophecy written on the walls of the temple that reproduction must occur in pairs and servants of the gods must not be alone. After the death of the Insect King, tens of thousands of insect eggs in the deep pit could not be born. Apart from those low-level insects, the only strong ones left were Jia Yan and Xue Amber.
After thinking for a while, Helemis was forced to give up the idea of killing Jia Yan. He spread his wings behind him and suddenly flew up into the sky with Lin Kong. He looked down at Jia Yan from above and spoke solemnly in the howling wind:
[I can spare your life, but you can't escape the punishment.]
[Jia Yan, from now on, the cold and desolate north will become your hiding place, and you are never allowed to step out; the black skin soaked in venom will become your symbol, and it will never fade; hypocrisy and betrayal will follow you for the rest of your life, and you will never be able to change! ]
[You can only walk alone in the darkness, curl up in the cold, and lead your tribe to the north, which will become your new territory! ]
