Chapter 272 White Ghost (1/2)

There was no grass growing on the desolate red land. A huge ravine ran from north to south, stretching endlessly. The cliffs on both sides were as sharp as if they had been cut by a knife, like a deep scar on the earth.

This kind of deserted place has no water source for human survival and no animals that can attack it. Ordinary people will obviously not easily step into this uninhabited area.

But there are always exceptions. There are always various factors that force a group of people and drive them to take risks.

On the cliff, two thick hemp ropes tightly bound a huge rock. A man and a woman were guarding the ropes, and another person stood on the edge of the cliff, carefully observing the situation below.

"By the way... do you really trust that kid?" The woman asked her companion beside the boulder.

The fat man with broad cheeks waved his hands helplessly. "It is rumored that the Kalman people are naturally good at rock climbing. Each of them is like the mountain goats that appeared in history. They can accurately find their targets and have an extremely keen sense of things related to the golden tree."

"But I think this rumor is too mysterious. Anyway, I don't believe it. What do you think, boss?" As he spoke, the fat man looked at the sturdy man standing on the edge of the cliff.

"This is the person Avik found in the association. As a senior five-star hunter, he has no need to lie to us." The man on the cliff had strong muscles. He turned around and looked behind him involuntarily.

In the distance, a huge golden tree stood in the east. Its crown penetrated the sky, and the golden light pierced the dark night sky, spreading warmth to the whole world.

Some people say that the roots of the golden tree buried deep underground are far larger than the branches and leaves that can be reached by the eyes. Even the red land full of nothingness and absurdity under our feet can only be avoided from further corruption under the protection of the golden tree.

Because of this, some people speculate that in the west of the Great Wall, in this bottomless, untrodden rift, there are some roots that may pierce the wasteland - the roots of the golden tree.

Looking at the leader who didn't want to talk much, the fat man said angrily: "It's all the fault of that hateful royal family. Why did they take everything of the golden tree for themselves? Otherwise, we wouldn't have to travel so far to pick some roots that no one wants."

The woman at the side said jokingly, "Be content, at least those guys didn't charge us for enjoying the light of the golden tree."

While the people above were chatting, the two people below were still working hard.

"Hurry up, little girl, have you found it?" The speaker was a man with a pointed chin and monkey face. Even though he was nicknamed "skinny monkey" when he was young, he really didn't have any monkey skills in this environment.

The red cliffs were extremely steep, with few places to stand. The weathered stone walls could easily cause a person to slip and fall if he wasn't careful. If his boss hadn't entrusted him with an important task to keep an eye on this little girl, he wouldn't have wanted to stay here for a moment.

"It's almost there." Hearing the skinny monkey's unreasonable urging, the girl frowned but remained calm.

She worked in a tavern in her hometown, and this group of guys who called themselves beast hunters specifically asked for her. Although they didn't say who leaked the information, she knew without a second thought that it was Avic, who loved drinking on credit at the time.

Weird uncle, smiling tiger, moody, that's how she described that guy.

Although she had no idea who the "Kalmans" the other party was talking about, she was determined to do this business that was delivered to her door.

After all, she is really good at finding things.

The girl ignored the noise of the skinny monkey beside her and silently lowered her head to look downwards. The depths of the rift were dark and without light. From an angle where no one could see, the girl's eyes flashed with a faint golden light.

"Found it!" The girl narrowed her eyes slightly.

From her perspective, more than 500 meters below, a faint light spot, smaller than sesame seeds or gravel, was gradually dimming.

"Hurry up and follow me, or it will be a waste of time!" After saying this, she used her agile body to quickly climb down the cliff which was more than 90 degrees, regardless of whether the skinny guy behind her reacted or not.

Compared to the mountain goats licking salt on the rock wall, she looked more like a monkey; compared to the cautious skinny monkey above her, she looked more like an experienced monkey.

The distance of more than 500 meters is neither long nor short, but it takes some effort to climb this bottomless cliff.

"That's it!" After a quick run, the girl's breathing became a little rapid. After stopping, she raised her hand to wipe away the dense beads of sweat on her forehead. The debris from the peeling stone wall, along with the dust raised during the descent, mixed into her red hair wet with sweat, making her look a little disheveled.

Before my eyes, golden roots as thick as a finger pierced through the solid red stone wall. Different from common plant roots, the texture of the roots before my eyes was peculiarly translucent, giving people a sacred feeling just by looking at them.

It seems like nothingness, yet it really exists.

"Is this the thing?" A skinny man at the side came down closely, looking at the slender object in front of him that was exactly the same as the one in the drawing, excitement hidden in his eyes.

Although he clearly didn't see anything above him, the little girl found her target immediately and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

So, the girl next to me is really the extinct Kalman people as rumored?

Facing the monkey's prying eyes, the girl urged impatiently: "Why are you looking at me? Stop staring and bring the tools over."

"Oh...ah!" The skinny monkey reacted and quickly took out tools from the backpack behind him and handed them over.

These are all sharp blades. In order to prevent any unknown accidents from happening below, these dangerous things are stored here with him.

"There is a time limit for harvesting the roots. You're so slow, we almost made it in vain." The sharp blade of the sword scratched the surface of the roots, leaving a neat circle of cuts. While the girl was taking action, she did not forget to complain about the other party.

"Time limit? How come I don't know that?" The skinny monkey was a little surprised. He really had never heard of it.

"It's in the book," the girl replied perfunctorily.

"Is this true? Is there really a book that records this?"

"If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself."

"…"

...On the cliff above, a burly man was gazing into the distance. There was another vast prairie on the other side of the rift.

"Boss, what are you looking at?" The woman who was chatting with the fat man walked forward and looked in the direction the man was looking. "What...what is this?"

The woman was stunned, her heartbeat was a little faster, the scene in front of her made her pupils tremble slightly, and a strange mist was rising on the grassland in the distance.

"Beast... beast tide?" The woman said uncertainly as she looked at the scene in front of her.

In the common people's understanding, the sign before the beast tide comes is often accompanied by strange fog.

Ferocious beasts emerged from the scarlet mist. They bit and ripped each other madly, attacking cities in an attempt to destroy every corner of human existence.

"I don't know." The boss shook his head, his eyes full of uncertainty.

In his seal, beast tides have always been associated with red fog. However, the fog in the distance... is actually mixed with a conspicuous white color? !

At this time, the fat man who was guarding the boulder behind him suddenly spoke, his voice trembling a little: "The day before yesterday, I was drinking and chatting with Lao Mai from the beast hunting group next door. He said that the rift valley is not very good recently, and someone is watching here..."

"What did you see?" the woman asked hastily. She always hated people leaving things unsaid.

The fat man swallowed his saliva, with a strange expression on his face, and uttered a few words: "White ghost..."

"No, why didn't you tell me about this earlier? Are you trying to scare me?" The woman felt a little scalp-tingling and complained to the fat man.

"I told you I was drinking at the time. If I hadn't seen it now, I would have forgotten it. And even if this thing has something to do with the beast tide, as long as the fog doesn't drift this way..." The fat man spread his hands nonchalantly and was about to refute, but was interrupted by the exclamation of a woman next to him.

"Damn! Is the fog coming towards us?" Looking at the increasingly thick fog in the distance, the woman suddenly became overwhelmed. How could something she feared come true?

"Uh, I guess...yes."

"Fuck your crow's mouth!"

"Shut up!" The experienced leader stopped the others from getting angry. Looking at the fog in the distance, he calmly said, "Don't worry. At this speed, we still have plenty of time."

"That's good... That's good..." Hearing this, the woman breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then below..." The fat man looked at the rope at his feet, but there was still no movement.

"Ah!" Before he could finish his words, a shrill scream came from the bottom of the cliff, shocking the people above and making them break out in cold sweats.

"Quick! Pull them up!"

Several people hurriedly put the two ropes together and pulled the traction rope backwards with all their strength, but at the other end of the rope, it seemed as if there was someone playing tug-of-war with them.

"Three, one, one. Pull!"

"Three, one, one. Pull!"

After expending great efforts, the two people below were pulled up, but their situation was beyond their expectations.

The skinny guy was missing a leg at the knee, as if it had been cut off by something. The girl had wounds of varying depths all over her body. She was underneath the skinny guy, her head dripping with blood from the wounds in front of her. Her originally red hair had become even more scarlet and sticky.

"It's... it's the evil beast!" The skinny monkey covered the broken part tightly with a bandage. His face turned pale due to excessive blood loss, and his lips turned purple as he spoke weakly.

"What?" Everyone was so shocked that they were speechless.

In their opinion, the bottomless rift was not suitable for the movement of evil beasts. Even those evil beasts with wings would find it extremely difficult to move in the valley's wind, unless...

"roar--"

A deep roar came from the rift valley, and accompanied by a strong wind that broke through the air, a huge monster rushed out from the cliff.

It hung high in the sky, flapping its huge wings, blocking out the light emitted by the golden tree. The bright red wing membranes were stained with black, like a sky curtain that isolated it from the sky. The pitch-black shoulder armor was extremely ferocious, displaying its invincible majesty to everyone, while the three pairs of scarlet compound eyes revealed madness.

"This is..." Looking at the evil beast in the sky, the woman was speechless.

"Long..." The sturdy man took over the conversation in a low voice, his face so gloomy that ink could be squeezed out of it.

The dragon-shaped evil beast was an existence that they could never defeat. In front of it, all struggles and attacks were like a gnat trying to shake a tree.

Vast waves quickly accumulated in the dragon's mouth, and the huge pressure above its head made everyone kneel to the ground. At the other end of the canyon, a strange fog had surged to the other side of the cliff. In the fog, the whimpers and roars of monsters echoed.

Buzz——

The giant dragon exhaled a scorching dragon breath, and all that came into everyone's eyes was a red purgatory.

Seeing that death was at hand, a dazzling white light flashed before everyone's eyes. The white light went straight through the red fog, but suddenly stopped in front of everyone.

A blurry figure was covered with white mist. The man was holding a huge sword in one hand and standing alone in front of everyone.

In a trance, a silent liberation command came out of his mouth.

"Skyfire—unsheathed."Chapter 273: Disgraceful (1/2)

Kevin didn't know how he came to this world. Before falling here, the inexplicable mumbling of "Who is it?" was the only sound he heard when his consciousness was asleep.

He remembered that when he first woke up, he saw a red scorched earth, which was a pit formed by a person falling from a high altitude to the ground.

The pain that penetrated deep into his bones did not mean anything, but the feeling of powerlessness as if he could not move his whole body was a long-lost experience. Extra suspicion and worry were of course meaningless. Kevin had to accept a situation he had not expected - he could no longer feel the connection with the Cocoon of the End.

Looking back at Luofu, the Cocoon of the End had moved for no apparent reason. The sense of detachment at that time had prompted him to go check it out in person.

Even though he ultimately found no substantial abnormalities with Cocoon, Kevin never ignored the state of ecstasy he fell into when the abnormality occurred, in which he "forgot his own name, his own identity, and even his own body."

Perhaps he had already prepared himself in his heart, but the current change was too sudden. He knew that this power came too easily, as if it was a gift, so he never felt at ease in using this power.

He knew that everything has a price, and it would come to him sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to happen at this critical moment...

Lying in the deep pit, Kevin was numbed by the pain all over his body. The long-distance crossing almost drained the energy in his body.

Apart from his inherent abilities, he, who had now lost the Cocoon of the End, was like a Herrscher who had lost his Herrscher core. Even though he was equivalent to the cocoon, all of his powers were almost restricted to the limit, with only a trace of the Power of the End that had not yet been consumed but was unable to be mobilized still lurking in his body.

Without any energy replenishment, he could not move at all and could only look up at the sky quietly.

The red of the sky was all he saw.

Being in the pit, he was like a frog in a well. All he could do was observe. He did not see the movement of celestial bodies such as the sun and the moon, but he saw the alternation of day and night.

During the day, the sky was as red as blood, with a hint of golden light. In the dead of night, the sky was a dark red, like a silent hell, flowing with corrupt and smelly blood.

Day and night alternated endlessly. With the slow repair of the Garuda factor in the body, the broken body finally regained some strength. An arm covered in blood struggled to climb up to the edge of the deep pit and brought the bruised and battered guy out.

The white-haired man was in a mess, his skin was stained with red mud, and his original combat uniform was torn to pieces by the turbulent space when he crossed the interruption.

Kevin bent down tremblingly and reached out to dig something out of the hole he had just climbed out of.

After a moment, he took out a pair of black, white and red muskets - Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire. Fortunately, before crossing into the space, he took Wu Xi out of the imaginary space and brought it with him.

However, due to the lack of energy, the two cores of the Skyfire Holy Judgement in front of him were dim, and even maintaining the ordinary greatsword form was nothing but a pipe dream.

I lost my strength, my companions, and I didn't know where I was...

It's really embarrassing...

Kevin stood up with self-mockery and looked around. It was endless and all was a desolate red. However, an exception in the distance caught his attention.

At the junction of the dome and the earth, there was a shining golden light.

What is that?

Kevin was very confused. In his opinion, the light was as warm as the sunrise, like the beginning of a new year.

Kevin stared at the sky and walked towards where the golden light was.

He didn't know why he wanted to go there, but he had an obsession in his heart that made him feel that there was something he longed for there.

On his journey alone, Kevin finally saw some "living" things. Those bloody monsters were wandering in the mud, in the hills, and on the plains. They were roaring and screaming, and looked ferocious and hideous.

After observing for a period of time, Kevin realized that these monsters did not seem to be living creatures.

They have no cognition or wisdom, and don't even have the ability to reproduce. They are born from the strange red fog, and wreak havoc on the world like locusts. The meaning of their existence seems to be only for destruction and killing.

Relying on his physical strength, Kevin crushed several inconspicuous monsters to death. In the bodies of these monsters, he found a strange transparent crystal, which contained pure and rare imaginary energy.

However, after the crystals are peeled off, these monsters will turn into a pool of blood, seep into the ground and disappear without a trace.

By absorbing the energy in the crystals, Kevin finally accumulated a lot of energy in his body. Although his own power was extremely weak, it was more than enough to construct a piece of covering clothing.

Kevin was wearing a white robe. Compared with his previous combat uniform, this one was the simplest and most primitive.

But Kevin was powerless, as this world was extremely desolate, with poor mountains and barren waters.

Along the way, there were no traces of animals or plants. Even the most common bloody monsters were killed without leaving any trace. It was difficult to even find a piece of clothing.

In the next few days, Kevin continued to move towards the direction of the golden light. He found that as he got closer to the light, he saw more and more bloody monsters along the way.

Compared to the single category seen before, the shapes of these monsters became more diverse, and their sizes also showed different changes in various extreme directions. They were consistent with the direction they were heading, and they all moved towards the golden light.

During the long trek, Kevin and the bloody monsters climbed over one mountain after another without getting tired. Their "unremitting" attitude made them seem like devout pilgrims.

Finally, after crossing a long mountain range, Kevin came to an extremely vast plain, which was divided into two parts by a crack that seemed to have no end.

Kevin stood alone on the edge of the cliff, with tons of bloody monsters behind him. They finally saw the vague shape of the golden light - a giant golden tree.

It was a sight far more magnificent than Luofu Jianmu. A giant golden tree towering into the sky stood between heaven and earth, like the pillar of the entire world. Its thriving branches and leaves sparkled with golden light, and the light it emitted dyed the red land beneath its feet golden.

The scene before him made Kevin's pupils tremble violently. He recalled the unknown truth-and-false game he played when he visited Luosha in the prison, and what he saw when the white-haired girl handed him the reward key that was said to "open all doors".

A strange planet, a land burning with blazing fire, a sea filled with the smell of decay, a sacred golden tree, a world like purgatory, and... myself who was declared to "die with the most miserable ending"...

"roar--"

The blood-red monster behind him roared, and the roar echoed throughout the plain covered with red fog beneath his feet, and more blood-red monsters emerged from the fog.

bass--

White cold air rose around Kevin, and the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire transformed into the form of a greatsword at this moment.

He swung his sword horizontally, and the blood-colored monsters around him turned into blood mist and crystals in the flames. The huge noise he created attracted the attention of some humans on the other side of the plain in an unnoticed corner.

Through word of mouth among these people, the image of a white ghost wandering among the beast tide gradually took shape.

...

Buzz——

As the dragon-shaped beast's scorching breath was about to fall and the imminent death was about to come, accompanied by a flash of white light, white coldness suddenly appeared in front of everyone, and a figure in a white robe stood in front of everyone.

The fog was thick and the crowd could not see the whole appearance of the person in front of them. They only saw him holding up a greatsword with flames burning on it.Skyfire—unsheathed."

An inexplicable command came out of that person's mouth, and in an instant, endless red flames gushed out from the sword, and the burst of fire directly engulfed the dragon's breath that was about to fall, and went straight through the dragon's head of the dragon-shaped beast.

After a breath and a brief silence...

Bang——

The exploding flames exploded before everyone's eyes like divine fire from heaven. The scorching light had already surpassed the brightness seen in the room. It swallowed up everything and burned everything, leaving only a blank space.

When the firelight faded, all that was left in everyone's eyes was a miserable scene.

The dragon-shaped evil beast had long since disappeared without even a trace of its wreckage left behind. A bottomless rift ran through the western plains and reached the long mountain range. A huge gap was created by the huge tide of evil beasts, and all the evil beasts retreated in a rare move, standing still.

"This…this…" The dragon's mighty power dissipated, and everyone was frightened and collapsed to the ground.

Compared to the dragon-shaped evil beast that could destroy them with a breath of dragon, the man in front of him who could create such a loud noise with his sword was even more of a monster. The top beast hunters they had seen in the kingdom were nothing compared to him.

I just don't know whether the other party is an enemy or a friend.

"This... My lord, I don't know..." The woman bravely, cautiously, and tremblingly opened her mouth, but before she could finish, the man's eyes made her speechless.

Extreme coldness lingered around the man. The white-haired man turned around slowly. He glanced sideways, his indifferent eyes filled with a sense of "keep away from me". He looked at everyone as if he was looking at prey.

"I saved you. In exchange, I have a few questions. I ask, and you answer." Kevin's eyes swept over the group of people one by one. Holding the huge sword, his tone was extremely cold, as if he exuded a majesty that could not be refused.

"Okay, okay, just a few questions." The fat man on the side nodded quickly.

Even the calmest leader in the team echoed: "Since you saved our lives, we will answer all the questions even if there are a thousand or ten thousand of them."

Kevin looked at them quietly. Under the current circumstances, any normal person would choose to be sensible.

At first, he was somewhat relieved by the humans' peeping from the other side of the rift, thankful that there were still humans in this world, but he did not contact them immediately, but chose to turn a blind eye.

After witnessing the golden tree with his own eyes, he did not rush on his journey these days, but instead focused on destroying those bloody monsters to accumulate energy.

The reason for this move, not only because he thought his strength had been accumulated and the time was ripe, but also because he wanted to use this sudden increase in the beast tide to establish a legitimate reason for himself. Rather than having direct contact, he wanted these people to do him a favor.

The best thing would be a favor involving life and death, which would also be a better way for him to negotiate with the civilization of this world.

"Can...can we find a safe place to talk first?" The skinny monkey who was lying on the ground with one leg missing groaned in pain. At this moment, his eyes were full of fear. The red fog carrying the beast tide in the distance began to gather here again.

After these words were spoken, even though they admired and feared the abilities of the white-haired man in front of them, several people nodded reluctantly.

Kevin didn't say anything, but glanced behind him. In fact, although the unsheathing of the Sky-Strike Fire just now consumed a lot of accumulated power, killing so many bloody monsters at one time, the recovered energy can be said to offset the positive and negative energy.

The remaining remnants of the defeated army were not a problem for him.

However, compared to the adults in front of him who retreated like ordinary people, Kevin looked at the girl standing next to the skinny monkey differently.

Even though she acted like everyone else, Kevin saw something different.

The people here seemed to be very afraid of the bloody monster. Although the child in front of them also looked trembling, there seemed to be no fear in her golden eyes. Or, in other words, she was not afraid of those bloody monsters.

Why is this?

"Sir! I... let's make a decision quickly..." Just as Kevin was confused, the woman next to him couldn't help but urge him.

"Yeah..." The fat man shrank his not-so-obvious neck.

Not far away, the speed at which the red fog spread suddenly increased, and it covered the opposite cliff in almost the blink of an eye.

Seeing that they were determined to retreat, Kevin also chose to follow their opinions: "In that case, then we..."

rustle--

Suddenly, I heard the sound of wind blowing through leaves.

Kevin was slightly stunned, then he realized that there wasn't even a dead tree on this plain, so where did the leaves come from?

As if remembering something, Kevin turned his head and looked into the distance.

In the distance, the tall branches of the giant golden tree kept shaking, and the golden leaves rubbed and collided, becoming even brighter.

thump--

Kevin covered his head lightly, supported himself on the ground, and knelt on one knee. At this moment, his eyes went dark and a sense of restraint surged into his heart, as if the weight of a planet was pressing on him, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Kevin didn't expect that the golden tree in the distance would actually have an impact on him!

The wind was howling loudly, and Kevin couldn't see the surrounding environment clearly, but he could hear the roar of the beasts in his ears very clearly. He felt that the people in front of him were stunned at first, and then fled in disorder, and then there was a bright and tragic scene.

"It's eating my intestines!"

"My eyes! They're pecking at my eyes!"

"It hurts! It hurts! I don't want to die!"

"Don't eat me, I'm fat and I'm not tasty!"

There were four miserable screams in total, representing that four people were experiencing their own disappearance vividly, in an almost torturous manner.

The pain was first high and painful, as if blood was gushing out; then, it became continuous and numb, as if claws and teeth were tearing flesh and crushing organs; finally, the pain stopped abruptly, as if nothing existed anymore...

Kevin listened to their voices gradually fading away. He could save these people, but at this moment, he could only listen to their painful cries in silence, powerless.

In addition to the four dead people, Kevin heard a calm breathing sound amidst the chaotic roars of beasts.

That girl... that child with no fear in her eyes...

Monsters kept brushing against him, and Kevin could feel that the child was standing right in front of him, not moving at all.Chapter 274: Lightning, Wangchuanshou, Meiyi (1/2)

In the distance, the rustling sound of leaves scraping against each other did not stop. The feeling of physical oppression made Kevin kneel on the ground, and even raising his head was very difficult.

Although his vision was blurry, he could still sense that the giant golden tree in the distance was still bright.

The blood-colored monsters beside them continued to wreak havoc, running endlessly towards the direction of the golden tree and rushing forward, but the two of them remained where they were without a scratch, allowing the tide of beasts to pass by them.

"Why... why?" Kevin's voice was trembling. Even though he was under great pressure, his eyes were still fixed on the thin shadow with a vague outline in front of him. "Who... are you?"

However, after his inquiry, he did not receive any response.

Kevin didn't say anything else. He could feel that the child in front of him was staring at him, but he couldn't judge the other person's intentions at the moment.

The scene remained deadlocked in silence. The roars of the monsters beside them continued to be heard. Time passed by minute by minute, and the roars in their ears gradually disappeared. The beast tide completely left them behind.

The rustling sound gradually subsided, and the inexplicable feeling of oppression also eased a lot, which gave Kevin a chance to catch his breath.

Yuan Yu's hands, which had been supporting the ground with all his might, finally broke free from their restraints and without hesitation, he grabbed the Skyfire Greatsword that had fallen beside him.

bass--

As his vision became clear, Kevin stood up without hesitation, pointing his sword forward: "Tell me your full identity, otherwise..."

thump--

A sudden sound of someone falling to the ground made Kevin swallow the words that had just been about to leave his throat.

In front of him, the child whom he had previously thought was weird was lying straight on the ground, his eyes rolled back, white foam came out of the corners of his mouth, and his whole body was twitching uncontrollably, just like the symptoms of some disease.

"?!" Kevin was stunned by the situation. After a moment of silence, he sighed with some self-mockery.

He thought the other party was a little weird, and although the result was indeed weird, he didn't expect that it was the kind of weirdness that "came ill"...

Was it a misjudgment due to the loss of one's own abilities caused by the first encounter with this strange and bizarre world? Or is it because I'm too sensitive these days?

Kevin looked around in confusion. The sky had darkened and turned deep red without him noticing, but the giant golden tree in the distance was still shining brightly.

It is like a sun that shines and gives heat all by itself, but at this moment it has restrained the warmth that it spreads to the earth.

On the barren red prairie, there was no trace of the raging beasts. Perhaps they had already headed towards their golden target, leaving only a sticky red stain not far in front of them.

Kevin lowered his eyes slightly, not because he blamed himself for not being able to save these people. These people were not related to him at all, and he only rescued them for other purposes.

Perhaps the deaths of these people were indeed related to him, and they did die because of him, but now he no longer blames himself, and he doesn't even dream about these people. He is just that selfish.

It's just a pity that the original plan had been implemented and was just about to be completed, but in the end, it was forced to go to waste because of an accident.

However, it is not a complete waste of effort...

Kevin glanced at the girl who was still twitching on the ground. Her red hair had long been soaked with sweat, and coupled with her close contact with the ground, she looked like a rag.

Although Kevin did not directly classify him as a mentally ill child based on his symptoms, he now looked like a harmless, scruffy little lamb.

However, this abnormal little lamb is special. Why don't those bloody monsters attack her? Instead, they treat the other person as if he were nothing, just like they were themselves.

Kevin was silent for a moment, but finally made a decision.

He leaned down slightly, picked up the "lamb" that had collapsed on the ground, and carried it on his shoulders like a hunter carrying his hunted prey. He obviously didn't care that the other's dirtiness had dyed his white robe red.

Just like that, in this dark night, the white-haired hunter carried his prey, walking alone on the desolate red soil, step by step towards the golden giant tree in the distance.

He left nothing behind, only the footprints that were gradually covered by the red sand blown by the wind, proving that he had wandered in this world...

...

The plains on the east side of the rift are more vast than those on the west side. The further east you go, the more desertified the red soil under your feet becomes.

Kevin carried the girl on his back and walked for several hours without stopping. Wherever he looked, he saw the desert. However, the girl showed no signs of waking up.

However, in this sea of sand, there appeared a rare plant that Kevin had seen all along the way. Although it was just a piece of dead wood sticking out from the sand dunes, it still made him feel something unusual.

This world is really strange. The seemingly fertile red soil is barren, while the seemingly hopeless desert actually has signs of life. The further you go, the more dead trees you see, and the more concentrated their distribution becomes.seems that the closer you are to the giant golden tree, the higher the possibility of life.

Without the light of the "sun", the temperature in the desert at night becomes extremely low. The wind blows through the desert, raising red sand all over the sky.

Kai walked forward against the wind, his steps not slowing down. Even though he was in a weak state now, this harsh environment alone obviously had no effect on him. To him, it could not even be called harsh at all.

But the little girl who was carried on his shoulders suffered.

Although she was still conscious and no longer had any seizures over time, the sudden drop in temperature around her still caused her to shiver, and the shivers were no different from the convulsions she had experienced before.

The red sand in the sky blew on her body like a knife in the strong wind, making her cheeks red.

Listening to the girl's painful moans on his shoulder, Kai remained unmoved. The power of life in his body has been suppressed to the limit, and the power of death is almost impossible to use.

Besides, he had no intention of using his remaining power of the end against this insignificant person.

Even though he couldn't use his power, he could still feel that although the girl was unconscious, she didn't have any injuries except for a few scratches on her body.

Time passed quietly in the dark night. In this world, the night was as long as the day. Kai finally stopped, not because he felt sorry for the girl, but because if he continued to move forward, the girl on his shoulders would die.

Kai found a place with better shelter from the wind. It was a huge rock under the sand dune. The rock was very thick and faced away from the golden tree, thus blocking the wind.

Gather a few dead trees together, and then light them with the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire, and a bonfire will be formed.

The flames flickered and shone on the stone wall nearby, retaining just enough temperature to relax the shivering little girl's expression.

Kai sat down beside a huge rock. Although he did not feel anything along the way, as soon as he stopped, a heavy feeling of fatigue still surged over his body like a tide.

Kai didn't know what would happen to him tomorrow, or what would happen in the future.

He only knew that wild thoughts could not change his current situation. All he could do was to take things one step at a time. This world was not ordinary. The red land and the giant golden tree...

What does it mean that the girl with the fringe-haired hair lets herself see these things in advance?

Tick-tock——

In front of him, the blazing bonfire actually weakened a little, and damp spots spread on the charcoal. Kai looked up and saw that they were dense and long thin lines falling from the sky.

It's raining?

Red raindrops fell on my face and I seemed to hear the sound of a ticking pointer in my ears.

Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta

The raindrops moved extremely slowly in front of Kai's eyes. Apart from that, everything turned black. It was like a fleeting red color in the endless void.

It was as if I was in another time and space. The moist air penetrated every pore of my body, bringing an endless feeling of suffocation. However, those were not raindrops, but waves on the water surface.

The waves hit the shaved man's face, like a loud slap in the face, bringing him back from suffocation.

"You're awake. Do you want a peach?" A quiet and gentle voice sounded in my ears, and a very abrupt peach was suddenly grasped in the red palm.

The bald-haired man sat quietly on the water. The woman in front of him was tall, with long bald hair that reached her calves. Her left eye was covered by her bald hair, but tears of blood flowed from her left eye.

However, there was no pain in her eyes, only tranquility.

"Who... are you...?" Not knowing what state he was in, the man's thinking was unusually slow, but he felt familiar with the appearance of the person in front of him, a strong sense of familiarity...

"Sure enough..." Looking at the man's reaction, the woman didn't seem surprised. "However, at the beginning of entering self-destruction, it's not as bad as I imagined if it's just this kind of situation."

"Self-destruction…?" The man's eyes were still blank, but the water surface beneath his feet had condensed into a layer of silent red ice without him knowing when. That was his color.

"Well..." The woman nodded. "Although I have already told you my name before we started traveling together, if it makes you feel better, I can naturally repeat it again."

"My name is..." Staring at the other person quietly, a trace of memories flashed across the woman's red eyes, and she slowly uttered a few words, "Raiden·Wangchuanshou·Mei."

"So, do you remember anything, Kai?"
