Eye Mountain, under the starry sky.
In a vast wilderness.
"Shhhhhh" A slim figure sneaked up to a tent and made a small sound to a huge figure.
In the tent, the huge figure was already extremely alert. When he heard a noise, he opened his eyes suddenly and changed from lying on his back to lying down. However, he saw that the tent had been opened a small opening, and a figure was opening it. People outside the tent looked at him with a smile.
Feixue knew who she was. She was a night watch apprentice from the same batch as him. She could be regarded as, well, his second senior sister - Yin Ni.
The two of them also have a senior brother, but that senior brother never communicates with the two of them, so he is a mute. No, the senior brother is not a mute, because Feixue once heard a brief exchange between the senior brother and the second-tailed commander. Feixue had to speculate that the senior brother might be an autistic person.
"Faixue, let's go see the stars." Outside the tent, Yin Ni said with a smile.
Fei Xue didn't like this nickname. His surname Fei had three sounds. But this senior sister with a lively personality kept calling him "Fat Xue".
Fei Xue is not fat, but for others, his figure is too big.
He is 206cm tall and weighs over three hundred kilograms.
When a giant man who is more than two meters tall weighs more than 300 kilograms, but still does not make people feel fat, you can imagine his body of muscles and steel bones.
"Here." Yin Ni reached out her right hand and held a piece of candy with light blue light between her index finger and thumb.
Apparently, this isn't a real candy, but one made from star power.
Only then did Fei Xue get up, mumbling, grabbed the candy with one hand, stuffed it into his mouth, and climbed out of the tent.
The interdimensional space in Eye Mountain is not cold, but it is always dark.
The night wind blew Yin Ni's long shawl hair. She wrapped her clothes around her body and looked up at the bright starry sky. At the same time, a huge figure crawled out of the tent.
Even though Yin Ni is over 1.8 meters tall, she looks like a child next to him.
The difference in height is not the main thing, the difference in body shape is the most terrifying.
Feixue crawled out and whispered: "We will be scolded by Master."
Yin Ni opened her palms and pieced together another light blue candy in her palms. She handed it to Feixue and said, "Master has scolded you?"
Feixue lowered his head directly, sucked the candy from the palm of his hand, and said with a silly smile: "That's not true. I have never heard Master say bad words, but that sharp look in his eyes made me lose half my life."
Yin Ni wanted to express her disdain for Fei Xue, but she seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but shudder. She just said "silly big man" and walked forward.
Fei Xue scratched his short hair and followed him in large strides. He knew that the destination of his trip was the cliff not far ahead.
There, she could not only see the stars in the sky, but also the boundless wilderness.
The night wind ruffled Yin Ni's hair. She stretched out her hand and tucked the scattered bangs behind her ears. As she stepped forward, her eyes looking up at the stars also fell on the wilderness below.
To be precise, it was the dark figure in the wilderness below.
The dark figure stood quietly next to a huge stone, holding a giant blade in his hand and moving back and forth.
The figure's movements are not large, each step is very small, and the movement of the body is even smaller. The two-meter-long sword in his hand is like a close-fitting dagger, attacking from all angles and postures. , defending the boulder in front of him.
Although the huge stone was lifeless, judging from the figure's movements, the stone seemed to be a warrior sparring with him.
Fei Xue stood on the high cliff, looking at the darkness below, and couldn't help but asked stupidly: "Did you see him again?"
Although the stars were bright in the sky, Feixue could not see anything when looking far away like this, only darkness.
"Yeah." Yin Ni said softly, her eyes locked on the silent little figure in the distance, and suddenly asked, "It's been 35 days, have you heard Xiaojiu speak?"
Feixue said uncertainly: "I seem to have heard him say a brief word to the master in the tent, but I'm not sure if it was my hallucination."
"You are so stupid, really, why wasn't I by the tent at the beginning?" Yin Ni said dissatisfied.
Feixue scratched his head stupidly and said, "Is it because he doesn't speak that he is the official night watchman?"
Yes, although the three of them are brothers and sisters, Feixue and Yin Ni are just night watch apprentices, while their senior brother is a regular night watchman with a code name.
To be precise, they are regular light chasers, even more special than night watchmen.
Senior brother's code name is Kyuubi, and the master always calls him by his code name during the mission.
The master's codename is Erwei. What does this mean
This means that in the Light Chasing Group and the Tail Feather Team, there is a place for Senior Brother!
Yin Ni specifically asked Er Wei about Nine Tails. According to Er Wei's master, although his senior brother was already Nine Tails, he was still considered an apprentice, with the same status as Fei Xue and Yin Ni.
Yin Ni has been guessing who this guy who is both an apprentice and a regular light chaser is. Unfortunately, he never speaks, he always wears a vigil uniform, and the dark mask on his face has never been taken off.
Why call him "Xiaojiu"
Because although the mask was never taken off, it was broken once in the battle.
To be precise, the lower half of the mask was broken, revealing the lower half of his face.
When Yin Ni saw the green lower half of his face, she knew that this mysterious man was just a child, maybe even a high school student.
Erwei's teaching does not have the same rules as traditional teachers. During tasks, people call each other by code names.
Yin Ni is the first student, Feixue is the second student, and that person is Jiuwei.
From that time on, Yin Ni changed her name to Jiuwei: Xiaojiu.
The two tails didn't care, and the nine tails never spoke.
Everything continued naturally.
Yin Ni was a senior at Northwest Xingwu University, and Feixue was one year younger than her. The two of them were currently suspended from school, and were "recommended" by the Northwest Night Watch Army to be trained in Erwei's hands.
If nothing else happens, when they are recognized by Erwei, they will become an anonymous night watchman. As for whether they can become a special light chaser, it depends on their luck.
Therefore, the concept of diplomas and academic qualifications in the secular world does not have too many constraints on the two star warriors who are determined to be night watchmen.
Of course, if their strength and ambition are not up to par and they are sent back to school, then they can continue their studies. This is another story.
"The extra-dimensional creatures here are not strong. How long do you think we have to stay here?" Yin Ni slowly sat down, holding her knees with her arms, but her eyes were locked on the figure in the wilderness below.
Feixue thought for a while and said: "Master said that only when we truly calm down, no longer yearn for the chaotic world, and get used to the darkness and loneliness, can we enter the next stage."
Yin Ni hugged her knees with her arms and murmured: "Then I may never be able to pass. I even need you to accompany me when I go out to look at the stars."
Fei Xue suddenly laughed. He slowly sat next to Yin Ni, looked at the dark wilderness, and said, "Then I will accompany you."
Yin Ni pursed her lips and said, "When I called you just now, you didn't have this attitude."
Fei Xue scratched his head in embarrassment: "I'm angry when I get up. I'm angry when I get up. Please understand."
There is no such thing as empathy in this world.
Unless the knife cuts into your hand, you won't feel the same pain.
Just like the two people now.
In Yin Ni's eyes, this is an endless wilderness, with a lonely figure in the distance. Repeating simple and boring actions one after another without getting tired of it.
But in Fei Xue's eyes, it was pitch black below. Except for the stars above his head, there were only people beside him.
He didn't know who was more beautiful, Xinghe or her,
He just knew that the candy was very sweet during the vigil days.
Yin Ni's eyes gradually blurred, and she whispered: "Do you really have to be like him? To become a lonely mute, can you be considered a qualified night watchman?"
Feixue looked at the darkness and said, "Maybe."
Yin Ni kept shaking her head and said, "I hate him. I don't want to be like him."
Fei Xue was silent for a while and then said, "Do you have anyone you can care about?"
Yin Ni shook her head: "No. This may be an important reason why I was selected as a night watch apprentice. What about you?"
Fei Xue heard this rhetorical question, looked at Yin Ni's lonely side face next to him, opened his mouth, and finally said: "Me neither."
Feixue turned his head again and looked at the void below: "Since there is none, then it doesn't matter."
Yin Ni's eyes gradually turned red: "But I miss the path in front of my house, the cries of the corner shop, the wild cats hanging out at the door, I miss... I miss..."
Collapse may seem sudden, but it doesn't happen in a day.
For 35 days, in this dark world, Yin Ni clearly remembered the time, even every minute.
Feixue was silent for a long time, then asked softly: "Do you want to quit?"
Her voice became more choked, she covered her face with her hands, and kept shaking her head: "No, no, I just don't want to become like him."
Fei Xue's face was struggling, and his heart was obviously struggling even more. He hesitated for a while, and looked at the girl who was sobbing softly. A starlight gathered on Fei Xue's chest.
A few seconds later, a fat, orange cat-like creature appeared in his hand. It seemed to have no consciousness of being called out, and was still sleeping soundly.
Feixue put the orange cat in Yin Ni's arms and said, "Don't tell Master."
Yin Ni held the orange cat in her arms, but her mood did not get better, and she was still sobbing softly.
At some point, a huge figure stood quietly behind them, and a hoarse voice reached the ears of the two of them: "Go back to the tent and rest now."
Fei Xue stood up in a hurry and said in a shaky voice, "Master."
Yin Ni also stood up, but she kept her head lowered. Her tears kept falling on the orange cat in her arms, finally waking it up from its deep sleep.
The orange cat-like creature leaned forward and kept licking the tears on her face.
Erwei, on the other hand, just glanced at the two figures, looking at the figures under the cliff in the distance.
At some point, he had put the giant blade behind him and stared at the boulder in front of him quietly.
At the same time, in the Xingwu Stadium in the Imperial Capital, under the white street lights, a sweaty figure sprinting with all his strength kept slowing down and slowly stopped. His knees softened and he half-knelt on the plastic track.
His whole body was soaked, as if he had been fished out of water, his eyes closed, and his mind was connected.
A simple message came from the inner star chart.
"The Xia family's sword skills have been upgraded! Gold quality Lv. 3!"
"Are you tired?" Next to him, a man who was also sprinting slowed down and stopped beside Jiang Xiao. He put his hands on his knees and breathed heavily.
It can make a star warrior with extremely strong physical fitness sweat like rain and have a disordered breath, which is enough to show the intensity of their training.
"If you want to use blessings, just use them. Don't hold on." Gu Shi'an's chest heaved violently. Under the street lamp, he stuttered and stretched out his hand.
On the football field, Qin Wangchuan, who was bumping the ball, suddenly stepped on the ball and shouted angrily: "Jiang Xiaopi! Is it your limit? You are not dead yet! You are not dead yet! Stand up if you are not dead!"
Jiang Xiao grabbed the generous palm and stood up with difficulty. Without saying a word, he took steps again.
"Gu Shi'an! You're not tired, are you? If you don't overtake him within three minutes, get out of team 3!" Qin Wangchuan's roars came one after another, "Hurry up! Hurry up! Jiang Xiaopi! Your goal is to die on this track!"
Mount Eye, under the starry sky, in the endless wilderness.
The lonely figure looked at the boulder in front of him and silently drew his sword again.
Thanks to Kong Xiya for the reward.
