However, there was a pungent burnt smell in the air.
"Old General?"
Luo Ling had a bad feeling and walked over quickly.
The old general sat next to the barbecue, his heavy armor supporting his voice.
After hearing Luo Ling's call, the old general moved slightly, but he couldn't raise his head until Luo Ling walked to his side.
""
When Luo Ling saw the barbecue that had almost turned into charcoal, she realized that something that was bound to happen had already happened.
"Ah, ah, it's the little lady."
The old general finally raised his head tiredly. His eyes were more turbid than ever before. The almost tangible dusky aura enveloped his body, announcing that his death was imminent.
He finally reached the end of his life.
The old general saw the charred meat and raised his hand with difficulty, trying to take it down. His hoarse voice was drawn out.
"I'm sorry, my lady, I was careless... and I burned the meat... I wanted you to take it with you on the road..."
His soul was gradually dissipating and had reached a point of no return.
Even though Luo Ling had used the power of "Metamorphosis" to cleanse the old general once at dawn, his life had already reached its end and could not be saved by these powers.
Luo Ling sighed in his heart, reached out and took the string of coke, and said,
"It's okay, I can still eat it."
She took a bite and her mouth was filled with a pungent burnt smell.
"... Really?" The old general raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, "That's good."
He no longer had enough strength or life to drive this armor.
"My dear little lady, you and your lady, keep up the good work... We... are also doing our best..."
With every word the old general uttered, his expression grew dimmer.
He also knew that he was about to die, but he just wanted to do one last thing within his ability for the young lady before he died.
"Yes, I know all that."
Luo Ling stared at the old general, with a complicated look in his eyes.
On this road, she has witnessed the death of countless saviors. Perhaps this old general can be said to be insignificant among these existences, but he is walking on the same road.
"Everything is up to you..."
After saying the last sentence, the old general's eyes completely lost their color, frozen at this moment.
"Um."
Luo Ling stood up, and with the momentum of "transcendence", he performed the final burial for the old general's body.
The old general's eyes slowly closed, and his expression was peaceful, as if he was just sleeping.
Until his death, he still held the battle flag tightly in his hand.
At this time, Chi Nu, who had finished packing up, came out. Before she got close, she smelled the burnt smell on Luo Ling's hands. She wanted to say something, but when her eyes met the old general next to her, she seemed to understand everything.
"Luo Ling, he seems to be dead."
"Yes." Luo Ling put away the barbecue and looked at Chi Nu and said, "Go find some wood and bury the old general's body. It can be regarded as a place of peace."
"oh."
Chi Nu put down the package in her hand, and then her ghostly figure disappeared in a flash.
Before long, she brought in a lot of wood, which seemed to have been dismantled from some abandoned facilities in the camp.
After making a coffin with the wood found by Chi Nu and placing the old general's body inside it, Luo Ling built a simple grave for the old general and placed his most cherished battle flag on it.
It’s a pity that the old general never told Luo Ling his name until the end, perhaps even he had forgotten it, so Luo Ling only mentioned a tombstone with “The Old General’s Tomb”.
After packing up everything, Luo Ling asked Chi Nu to pack her things and prepare to leave.
"Luo Ling, do you often collect corpses for others?" Chi Nu suddenly said, "I see you are very skilled."
"...I guess so."
Luo Ling's eyelids twitched slightly. Not only did she often collect corpses for others, she had also collected corpses for herself a few times.
If all efforts are ultimately irreversible and the worst ending comes, she may have to collect corpses for the whole world...
As a result of these incidents, Luo Ling has become an expert in collecting corpses.
“By the way, Luo Ling, do you want to take that statue of you... or your mother away?” Chi Nu asked, pointing deep into the camp.
"... I'm right here, why do I need a statue?" Luo Ling curled his lips, "Also, my mother is what you call the Heaven, not this so-called Lady of the Nine Heavens... God knows why they could give me such a high-sounding name of a god, and even make my statue look several dozen years older."
Luo Ling had some complaints about the fact that the statue of the young girl had been transformed into a statue of a kind mother.
Girls of all ages care a lot about their age, and Luo Ling is no exception.
"oh."
Chi Nu nodded thoughtfully, but there was an inexplicable hint of pity in her eyes when she looked at Luo Ling.
She likes to call herself a "fairy" and says her mother is God... Why is this sister Luo Ling, who is quite normal most of the time, so she has to be entangled in these weird middle school settings in a few places
Never mind, maybe it's just her personal hobby.
Being looked at like this by Chi Nu, Luo Ling felt his face getting slightly hot, but he quickly calmed down, stood up and walked out of the abandoned city, saying,
"Let's go, don't just stand there."
"oh."
Akane responded again and followed the petite figure walking quickly in front of her.
At some point, the corners of her mouth involuntarily curled up slightly.
"I am coming."
In the wilderness, the afterglow of sunset had just faded away, and the originally hot air suddenly turned gloomy and chilly.
Before, the body surface temperature was about fifty degrees. Under the ten-day sky, this temperature was considered refreshing.
But after nightfall, the temperature dropped sharply to at least below zero.
Luo Ling looked up and saw a bright moon hanging high in the sky, surrounded by sparse dark clouds, like a magnificent painting.
But she could feel that the sudden chill around her was all coming from this seemingly beautiful bright moon.
"So, this is... 'Guanghan Palace'?"
Luo Ling was thinking in his heart, the girl next to him had already skillfully taken out a very thick cotton coat, but after hesitating, she said,
"Luo Ling, I don't seem to be cold? Do you want some clothes?"
"No."
Luo Ling shook his head.
Previously, the naked woman was just an ordinary person, and she would put on clothes when going out at night. Before, she had been fleeing from disasters caused by ghosts and gods, so she had not had time to put on cotton clothes.
But now...
The physique of a person with special abilities is not such that he cannot survive such a small temperature difference.
"Where are we going?" asked Akina.
"Look for Yao Ji." Luo Ling said.
Although Yao Ji did not tell Luo Ling what she was going to do or how to contact her, the jade slip in Luo Ling's hand had already marked all the information about the war between ghosts and gods, including the front line of the war between ghosts and gods.
It is the location where the Imperial Alliance forces are stationed, and also where the second imperial princess "Ci Chi Di Nu" is located.
Luo Ling guessed that Yao Ji should have gone to look for her sister. If not, it would be worth the trip to meet the Red Emperor's daughter.
not to mention...
Luo Ling's bad premonition became stronger and stronger, and his heart was beating so fast that he could hardly stop it.
After getting the answer, Chi Nu just kept walking. It had been a while since they separated, and she also missed her sister Yao Ji very much.
Although Akane does not look like a normal little girl on a daily basis, and in fact it is difficult for her to be a normal child, she still has some childish personality.
The bright moon gradually moved to the middle of the sky. It was already halfway through the night. Everything around them became increasingly desolate, and the temperature dropped drastically. Even Luo Ling and Chi Nu couldn't help but feel a little cold.
Unfortunately, they only had one cotton coat and couldn't share it.
Therefore, Luo Ling had to carry Chi Nu on his back and wrap his cotton coat around her, while Luo Ling himself kept warm with Chi Nu's body temperature.
"This charlatan form is really inconvenient..." Luo Ling sighed in his heart.
However, if you don't use this form, you won't be able to step into the time node. This can be considered a special effect of this form.
At this moment, the naked girl behind him suddenly moved, and put her delicate little hand on Luo Ling's cheek and asked,
"Luo Ling, is your face cold? I feel like you're twitching a little."
"It's okay, but don't take it away."
Although it’s not very cold, the warm and soft feeling is quite comfortable.
The Great Wilderness is huge, and it is almost impossible for Luo Ling to reach the front line relying on his weak legs in the form of a charlatan, so Luo Ling only plans to walk to the nearby checkpoint, and then pass through the checkpoint to the base. There must be a special way to get there quickly, or teleport, or other methods.
I don’t know how long it took, but when the cold full moon gradually set, the scorching sun was about to rise in the sky. It was the dawn of another day, but it was almost the most comfortable moment of the whole day in the wilderness.
The reason why Luo Ling chose to set out late at night was because... Whether it was late at night or during the day, the danger level in the wilderness was about the same.
The naked girl on his back began to snore softly from the second half of the night. Even the little hand that was covering Luo Ling's cheek drooped down and leaned on Luo Ling's shoulder.
During the previous month of fleeing alone, Chi Nu had not been able to get a good rest, and sleeping a whole day could not relieve her fatigue.
However, at dawn when the sky gradually turned pale, Luo Ling's uneasiness continued to grow, reaching its peak when the first ray of light appeared on the skyline.
A familiar feeling descended upon her, and Luo Ling quickly realized that the bad situation had finally arrived.
"Nothingness..."
A faint nothingness filled the surroundings, but it did not reach the strength to completely transform into a virtual world.
Luo Ling stopped and turned his head slightly. A speculation that had always existed in his heart finally turned into reality.
The girl on his back was still sleeping, but half of her face had turned into a horrible skeleton, and even her body had become much lighter. Her originally fragile body seemed almost non-existent at this moment.
"The so-called demonic disaster that has been chasing Akane is actually just the manifestation of her ability."
Luo Ling smiled bitterly, that was why she was in a hurry to leave the abandoned city, fearing that Chi Nu's transformation into a ghost would affect the old general.
However, Chi Nu had been traveling for who knows how long in order to escape with him, and was already exhausted. If she left directly at this time, it would probably be even more uncomfortable, so Luo Ling used "Metamorphosis" to temporarily suppress Chi Nu's condition, allowing her to have a good rest for a day.
It’s just that Luo Ling didn’t expect that the old general would pass away first.
Luo Ling's speculation was not without basis.
First of all, Akane must have suffered a disaster from ghosts and gods. It was during this disaster that she completed her awakening and embarked on the path of "doomsday".
In addition, because Akane has already awakened, the minions of demons and gods, that is, the monsters formed by the influence of "Doomsday", will definitely not attack her.
The essence of the minions of ghosts and gods is to spread "doomsday". Akane is already the chosen one of "doomsday", so how can she spread it
It is not difficult to guess why the Red Girl is being chased by the minions of the ghosts and gods. She is the "Doomsday" God's Chosen One. To be exact, she is the boss of the minions of the ghosts and gods. Isn't it normal for the minions to follow the boss
Of course, Akane was definitely unaware of this, she was only concerned with escaping...
The thing that best reflects this point is that the red girl actually has no injuries on her body. It is impossible for the minions of ghosts and gods to not be able to catch up with or hurt an ordinary person. It is very likely that they regard her as one of their own.
“This is very troublesome.”
The speculation in his heart finally turned into reality. Luo Ling scratched the back of his head in distress.
However, before she could worry for too long, a lot of dangerous auras emerged around her. Luo Ling immediately became alert. From afar, she saw a lot of ferocious monsters staggering towards her - to be more precise, towards Chi Nu.
"... Even my original demon form has never been so popular."
Chapter 121: The Second Night, Tragic Scene (5k)
A faint void enveloped the surroundings, forming an area that seemed to exist and not exist.
Although it cannot be compared with the real virtual world, if ordinary people accidentally enter it, they will be lost in it involuntarily and unable to extricate themselves.
