"Damn it!"

In the Snowfield Holy Ruins, Jiang Xiao, who was slashing with a knife, suddenly squeezed out a word from between his teeth, with a gloomy expression on his face, and viciously slashed a white ghost away.

This move made Erwei quietly shocked. Jiang Xiao did not stick to this corner of the holy ruins, but rushed out with a knife.

I saw five countercurrent lights on his body thrown out again, four white ghosts and one white ghost witch were stunned in place.

The bodies of the five extra-dimensional creatures were trembling violently, and they had obviously entered an upgrade state.

Jiang Xiao rushed forward, swung the giant blade repeatedly, and unleashed his green light firepower. In an instant, all the white ghosts that were swarming up were knocked out.

Not only did it flip them over, Jiang Xiao's blade attacked all vital points. Under the effect of Qingmang's powerful strike, a group of thick-skinned white ghosts died suddenly.

Erwei keenly felt Jiang Xiao's abnormality and said, "Jiang Xiao."

But he saw that the young man was harvesting star beads crazily, but he had no intention of retreating.

Without Jiang Xiao's protection, Erwei in the corner also began to be harassed by white ghosts and had to join the battle group.

This brass-level creature couldn't cause her any trouble, but Jiang Xiao's actions made her a little worried.

"Roar!" A white ghost bumped over and tore at the second tail with its sharp claws.

Erwei's body suddenly turned into a foggy state, but the white ghost tore it directly, and the richness floated away, directly behind Jiang Xiao.

"Jiang Xiao." Erwei's hoarse voice came again, and the thick fog instantly formed a human shape and patted Jiang Xiao on the shoulder.

Jiang Xiao's subconscious action was to elbow the person behind him sideways.

The elbow strike with a small movement range but extremely fast speed carried a little green light.

Erwei's eyes narrowed, and his body became atomized again, escaping the fate of being thrown out by his elbow.

The mist penetrated Jiang Xiao's body and pieced together directly in front of him.

It was at this moment that a giant blade suddenly stopped on her forehead.

Jiang Xiao's face was gloomy, his hands clenched the handle of the knife, and he stared at the person in front of him.

Shocking and frightening, dangerous and dangerous.

Erwei stared closely into Jiang Xiao's eyes and said, "Let's talk."

Jiang Xiao hesitated for a moment, and with a wave of his hand, the door to Shadow Ruins opened instantly, and he walked in backwards.

Erwei stepped forward and followed.

Just before the gate of Shadow Ruins closed, another group of white ghosts rushed in.

They bared their teeth and claws, and showed a fierce look in their eyes.

But they saw Erwei lift the silver gun in his hand, and a strong wind mixed with frost blew them out.

In the far corner, Xiaoxiao, who was lying down, stood up in a hurry, roared with joy, and ran over, only to find that something was wrong.

Its good friend seems to have no interest in playing with it today.

Jiang Xiao's hand loosened, the blade fell to the ground, and he sat down on the ground.

Erwei looked around and swept his spear across, blowing the nearby lava ghost witches and savage witch groups to the other side.

"Huh" Jiang Xiao sighed deeply, held his forehead with one hand, and wiped it hard on his face, as if to wake himself up.

"Dead." Erwei came to Jiang Xiao, looked down at him, and his hoarse voice came through.

"Yeah." Jiang Xiao grinned and sat cross-legged on the ground, leaning on his knees with his elbows and his face with one hand, tilting his head and closing his eyes.

Erwei said calmly: "Seven days, a long time."

yes,

7 days, a long time.

If you knew what I went through during these 7 days, it would feel longer.

Ever since Jiang Xiaowu met the group led by the White Ghost Witch, a great escape began.

Fortunately, when Bai Guiwu found Jiang Xiaowu, he was under the cliff, which gave Jiang Xiaowu some time to escape.

But as natural hunters, the White Ghost Witch and its White Ghost brothers have keen intuition and an extreme desire for prey.

Jiang Xiaowu evaded the enemy's pursuit time and time again, but was discovered by the enemy again and again.

The absolute gap in physical fitness made Jiang Xiaowu miserable. During the seven days of dealing with the "hunters", Jiang Xiaowu longed for star skills more than once. Even if it was any kind, maybe its situation would not be the same. So bad.

Yes, the worst case scenario is death.

It's easy to say, but if you experience it yourself, you probably won't be able to stand and talk without pain in your back.

What made Jiang Xiaowu feel even more frustrated was that all the "nights" he had carved along the way were in vain.

Next time I go to the upper dimension, I don’t know where I will be transported. The snowfields in the upper dimension are so big that it makes people despair.

Erwei's eyes were indifferent, he looked down at Jiang Xiao and said, "You have done a good job, there is no need for this."

Jiang Xiao crossed his legs, but put down his elbows, lowered his head, and said "hmm".

Erwei frowned slightly, and in this hum, she heard a hint of perfunctory, even dissatisfaction.

Erwei: "What?"

Jiang Xiaodao: "What's the meaning?"

Erwei raised his eyebrows: "What."

Jiang Xiao lowered his head and said in a very soft voice: "What's the point of me doing this?"

Erwei looked at Jiang Xiao quietly without responding.

Jiang Xiao shook his head: "My plan is reckless, I don't have the ability to draw a map, I don't even have the ability to protect myself, I'm on the run every moment.

What if you find someone? I also couldn't find my way home. Do I just want to say hello to them? Listen to their stories? Ask them what unfulfilled wishes they have left? Who else needs care? "

Erwei suddenly squatted down, touched Jiang Xiao's cheek with one hand, and raised his face: "Maybe, seeing them is the meaning."

She knew that he was not angry at her, but blaming himself, even a kind of self-denial.

Seeing Jiang Xiao's silent expression, Erwei sighed softly: "The education system of Star Warriors has made us people who pay attention to results. But in this world, not everything will have results.

Have you ever thought that the process of finding them is the process of realizing the value of your life. "

Jiang Xiao fiddled with his head, broke away her hand, and lowered his head again: "Including the last time, I have died a total of 29 times. Except for one time when I saw a wooden house, the other 28 times, I only saw snow. , only snow.”

Seeing Jiang Xiao's lonely appearance, Erwei was surprised to find that he felt a little distressed.

In the past 26 years of her life, she has rarely felt such an emotion. The last time she felt like this, she was still an innocent child and had not yet started this cold career.

Erwei said softly: "Let's go back. The particularity of the upper dimension determines that you can only fight alone. When you are strong enough, we will come back here."

Jiang Xiao shook his head and said: "There are still a few days left. You can rest here. I will go out and get some more star beads. I feel that Qingmang and Endurance are improving their quality."

Hearing this, Erwei gently rubbed Jiang Xiao's head.

Jiang Xiao's response gave her a lot of information, not only an improvement in strength, but also telling her that he had no dissatisfaction with the special training, nor did he lose himself in the endless killing. He was just in the upper dimension. There was just some frustration in the mission.

He was defeated, not defeated.

Erwei stood up and looked around, but felt that there was something wrong with the number, and said: "Let's go, as usual, I will accompany you."

"Lulu." Xiaoxiao finally found an opportunity and came up. Looking at Jiang Xiao sitting on the ground, it couldn't help but lower its head and rub Jiang Xiao's cheek with its huge head.

Jiang Xiao stroked its head while opening the internal star map. The data on it was very clear:

Green awn, platinum quality Lv.8 (60/1000).

Patience, platinum quality Lv.8 (60/1000).

Based on the upgraded silver white ghost star beads, he still needs to slaughter nearly 200 white ghosts.

200 heads

2 days is enough. If no rest is required, it can be completed in 1 day.

Erwei's voice came again: "Reduce the number of 3 Savage Witches."

After saying a word, Xiao Xiao's big head that rubbed Jiang Xiao's face was buried in Jiang Xiao's arms. It was obviously a horse, but it actually pretended to be an ostrich.

If the death of two Savage Witches in the first time was a sign that Xiao Xiao had not adapted to controlling the battlefield, then in the following days, another Savage Witch died, which was a sign of Xiao Xiao's negligence.

Jiang Xiao was also awakened by the small movements, and exited the internal star map, feeling its big head constantly rubbing around in his arms, while also "lulu" coquettishly.

Jiang Xiao raised his head, and the first thing he saw was not the chaotic battlefield over there, but Erwei's sharp eyes.

Jiang Xiao protected his little head in his arms and said: "This place is so small and there are so many monsters, casualties are inevitable."

Just as Erwei was about to say something, Jiang Xiao suddenly changed the subject: "Maybe we should bring a hot air balloon in."

Erwei: "Hot air balloon."

"Yeah." Jiang Xiao rubbed his little mane, "Neither the white ghost nor the white ghost witch can fly."

But Erwei's attention was really diverted. She said softly: "You want to reduce the difficulty of your training."

Jiang Xiao was stunned.

In an instant, he discovered the fundamental difference between him and Erwei.

Jiang Xiao went in with the mentality of looking for someone.

But Erwei's purpose is not so pure. In addition to finding someone, she also wants Jiang Xiao to receive training? Endure all this pain and suffering

Jiang Xiao asked word for word: "Luan Hongying, you want me to die."

Erwei curled her lips. With a stiff facial expression, she rarely made such a small move.

But he heard her say: "You have advantages that ordinary people don't have. Death will make you a powerful warrior."

Jiang Xiao's voice became louder: "You haven't died before, so you don't know its specific effects."

Erwei: "No, I died before, and you brought me back. In this snowy field, under this starry sky."

Jiang Xiao frowned deeply: "So you think death is a rare experience!?"

Erwei: "It will make you work harder to live, like you said, live hard."

"Haha." Jiang Xiao snorted, "That was you, just once. You and I can't be compared. What if I get used to it?"

Erwei shook his head, his eyes very firm: "Judging from your behavior all the time, I don't think so. You will never get used to it. On the contrary, you will find that the cost every time will be higher than the last time." high."

Jiang Xiao opened his mouth, not knowing how to respond.

Erwei said: "One day, you will go from the battlefield to the battlefield, and you are destined to encounter difficulties, dangers, and desperate situations."

Erwei looked at Jiang Xiao quietly: "You will cherish everything you have."

Jiang Xiao asked: "Do you think it is our fate to be shrouded in horse leather?"

Erwei pondered for a long time and said softly: "It is an honor."

Jiang Xiao: "If it's not fate, then why are you so pessimistic?"

Erwei's face returned to its stiff look, no longer expressionless or responsive.

She just looked at Jiang Xiao quietly, putting one hand behind her head and gently twirling the dark red hairband with her fingertips.

Looking at this child who gave her warmth time and time again, she silently uttered a sentence in her heart:

Because, if that day comes,

I hope,

It is I who am honored, and it is you who return home.
