Endless Silver Machine

The next day, the blond girl woke up from a high fever coma near the evening. Before that, Luo Luo had checked her temperature, and the high fever had subsided.

Alone in the tent, she found herself naked, with only a thin blanket covering her body. A scream piercing the silence of the early morning forest became the signal for her to wake up.

It wasn't until Luo Luo returned her the underwear that had been dried last night and patiently explained the current situation to her that she finally relieved her guard. When Lolo approached the tent alone, Aika summoned two guns to prevent the blonde girl from taking Lolo hostage outside the tent.

If Luo Luo hadn't quietly untied the ropes binding her hands and feet last night, it might have been even more difficult to relieve her vigilance.

Under Luo Luo's persuasion and leadership, the three of them calmly communicated face to face for the first time. Aika and Lolo sat on the stone bench outside the tent, and the blond girl put on the dark robe that left a deep impression on them again, but this time she didn't put on the hood again, and her long golden hair poured down , I have to admit that the brocade-like long hair that hangs down is very beautiful.

The blond girl's attitude is no longer as aggressive as when they first met. Aika doesn't know what kind of words Lolo used to make her change so much. However, the blond girl, who was leaning against the tree trunk and keeping a safe distance from the two, had already cooperated with them very much, which really made things go a lot smoother.

"My name is Aika, and he is my younger sister Lolo." Aika first broke the awkward silence between the three, and briefly introduced the names of himself and his sister to the blonde girl, "I can trouble you to make up for what happened yesterday." A little explanation? I don’t think we’ve ever met each other, so is there any reason for us to be regarded as enemies by you?”

"Did you help me heal?"

"Yeah, it's impossible not to catch a cold in those wet clothes. Really, if we don't notice, it may be life-threatening if we go on like that. We must not do this again in the future." Luo Luo couldn't help but start In order to preach, "Then... because you were injured, my brother stayed up all night last night to take care of you. For this, it may be difficult for me to forgive you...but if my brother chooses to forgive you, I will also..."

Lolo looked at Aika, but Aika didn't say "forgive her" easily.

"...I'm sorry, it was indeed my fault that it became like this," the blond girl was silent for a while, and finally bowed her head to apologize to the two frankly, "Although I may have misunderstood you, I also have my own fault here." The situation. Can you tell me about your specific situation first? If it is really just a misunderstanding, I will do my best to make up for this responsibility."

In the end, she still couldn't tell Aika and Lolo her name, but only made such a request to them.

Aika and Lolo glanced at each other, and then Aika briefly explained the purpose of his and Lolo's trip and what happened to them since they left the village for a week.

"Hmm..." She nodded after listening, her face became very complicated, "I'm really sorry about what happened yesterday, I was the one who admitted the wrong person..."

She bowed deeply in front of Aika and Lolo, and apologized with guilt.

In this way, Aika and Lolo were at a loss.

"No, in fact, we are not blaming you or anything... just saying that what happened, you were still suffering from a high fever and unconscious at that time, so you shouldn't attack us with malice, we can do that understand."

"That... sister?"

"Just call me Ling. My name is Ling Heinz." The blond girl who called herself Ling sat down again, "Are you from that village in the south? I know that place. I'm from Birmingham This place is a little farther away. I came here near the sea and passed your village on the way. It is really a very peaceful village, just like my home..."

As Ling spoke, her voice gradually became smaller. Aika could hear a trace of sadness mixed in Ling's words.

"So, are you traveling alone like us now?"

"Well... that's about it."

"Just now you said that you will do your best to make up for this misunderstanding, right? So before you reach your destination, do you want to act with us?"

Aika suggested taking advantage of the situation.

This was just a temporary decision made by Aika, but Ling's reaction was unexpected.

"Did you just invite me to accompany you without knowing my purpose?" She was irritated by a certain point in Aika's proposal without warning, "I was really planning to kill you before, the look on your face The wound was also caused by me! What if I approached you with a purpose? Even if you don’t think about yourself, you have to think about your sister!”

After Ling finished speaking in one breath, she stood up from the spot panting heavily, swishing her long golden silk hair, turned around and prepared to leave.

Her agitated look seemed to have directed remorse and other feelings on Eka precisely because she had experienced the error mentioned.

"Sister Ling, brother doesn't mean that!"

"Don't doubt others casually, either you don't put that person in your eyes, or you have full trust in that person." Aika stood up, and said slowly to Ling's back in a flat tone, "Now that person The two relationships definitely cannot be applied to us, so it's not that I don't suspect you. And, you must have hidden a lot of things from us. But those have nothing to do with us, right? So, now I want to believe You, I think we should be able to be friends during this journey. Probably like you think, I just intuitively think that you are not a bad person, that's all. If you are not the kind of person who has bad intentions for us, So it shouldn’t matter to be friends who help each other on the road, right?”

Ling turned her head and stared at Aika, as if she couldn't see what was going on in the mind of this boy of about the same age in front of her. And Aika also looked back at Ling, and she had finished speaking what must be conveyed to her, and left it to Ling to decide whether to stay or not.

The two just stood there in a stalemate. Perhaps half a minute had passed, or it could have been longer, but Ling was the first to give up the confrontation.

"...It's really nosy..."

…………

In the magic circle with an area large enough to cover a village, everything within sight was a ferocious scarlet.

There were people with painful faces, magicians with frosty faces, and cries, groans, screams, and various harsh sounds of house collapse mixed together, and the strong smell of blood in the air was breath-taking. I can't breathe.

"Go! Everyone who stays here will die! Take the Light Flame Sword and don't come back here..."

The man fell to the ground as soon as he finished speaking, his hands still on his shoulders.

But he could only stare blankly at everything in front of him, his chaotic brain still couldn't function normally.

"...don't...don't...I don't want it!"

…………

Ling woke up very early, her pajamas were soaked in cold sweat, and she even forgot how to breathe in the next second.

This is a travel tent with a monotonous scenery, familiar things made her come out of the dream and understand where she is now.

"Damn it, I had that dream again..."

Ling is very lucid now, as if what she experienced in the dream is still in front of her eyes.

She took a deep breath of the morning air and tossed her brilliant blonde hair.

The bloody smell in his consciousness gradually faded away, but the colic in his heart still persisted for a long time.

Ling clenched her fists. Several golden particles floated quietly beside her like fireflies, and then condensed into a slender long knife nearly two meters in front of her. The delicate light golden lines seemed to boast of its own noble value.

"I swear, I will definitely take revenge..."

Ling muttered to herself while facing the long knife, gently stroking the lines engraved on the knife with her slender fingers. The long knife shone with a pale golden light as if responding to her surging mood.

"Sister Ling, have you woken up—"

Luo Luo's inquiry came from outside the tent.

"Um!"

Ling responded loudly to Luo Luo. The long knife returned to golden particles like fireflies, and quickly dissipated into the air.

She put on the dark robe that had accompanied her across the mountains to come here, got up and walked out of the tent.

The forest at this time looks as it does at dusk. Although it is early morning, the sky has been completely covered by the lush branches and leaves, and there is no trace of morning light shining in.

Aika and Lolo are preparing breakfast, and there is a warm atmosphere unconsciously exuding between them.

——Family... At least, you must not implicate them because of yourself.

Ling reminded herself again in her heart, and then walked towards the place where her brother and sister who had accepted her were waiting.

…………

"Sister Ling, why did you leave home and travel?"

Luo Luo chatted with Ling in a low voice during breakfast. Last night, because it was getting late after Ling woke up, and she had just recovered from a serious illness, and Aika didn't close her eyes all night, they ended the process of getting to know each other early.

Ling closed her eyes and searched for a suitable explanation.

"It should be said that he is looking for someone."

"Is it someone important?"

"Yeah. That's right, it's a very important person..."

Ling replied with some hesitation. Hearing this hesitant answer, Luo Luo and Ling's understanding may have gone in two different directions.

"Is the person Ling sister is looking for... a boyfriend?"

"no."

after this. No matter what Luo Luo asked again, Ling didn't answer.

Eka sat next to the two of them and silently ate the grilled fish caught from the stream and casually baked until cooked, while thinking about the next course of action.

He and Luo Luo could only spend the last night in this forest with their luggage. Even if they got out of the forest, they only had enough money to stay in a hotel for about two or three days. But Ling who joined now is empty-handed.

It's fine if I'm the only one, but I can't let two girls sleep on the street with me.

"The more I think about it, the more I feel that it will become more difficult..."

This is probably some kind of psychological effect. I already know how hard it will be in the future, but now I seem to have no strength in my whole body.

…………

After a leisurely breakfast, the three simply packed their luggage and prepared to leave the vast forest that trapped them for three days and three nights.

Ling didn't put the hood of the dark robe on her head anymore, but tied a slightly plain headband on her long golden hair.

"I wanted to ask before, why do you insist on wearing this robe that makes you unable to move around? Could it be because of your dark personality, or some special constitution that turns gray when exposed to light?"

Aika looked at the unique Ling, and couldn't help but joked.

"Eh? How do you know?"

Ling pretended to be surprised.

"..."

"Is Sister Ling a blood race? It's amazing, I haven't found out..."

Only Luo Luo didn't understand the situation.

"Actually, there are other reasons. It's not convenient to explain now, and I will tell you when necessary. Besides, isn't what kind of clothes to wear a matter of personal preference? At least my robe is better than the couple outfits of the two of you." much better."

"Love...couple outfit..."

Luo Luo's face turned red all of a sudden, he lowered his head and crossed his fingers.

"What kind of couple outfits? It's just what my father asked us to wear when we went out, and only the color is the same." Aika looked at his white windbreaker and Lolo's white dress, "Indeed, your long robe It looks very fat, no matter whether you are fat or thin, you can't tell it after wearing it..."

Before Aika could finish her words to fight back and hide her embarrassment, Ling stepped on him unceremoniously.

…………

The three of them walked forward in the forest in silence. Ling walked in the front, and Aika walked in the back.

According to Ling, they were already very close to the forest exit. As long as she walks according to her feeling, she will be able to leave this ghostly place where the sun is never seen.

"Speaking of which, what exactly do you feel? The wind direction or the smell?"

"intuition."

Ling ended the conversation with two simple words.

Silence fell again between the three of them.

Luo Luo looked back and forth between the two in embarrassment, and finally he could only sigh in his heart for the brother who didn't understand the girl's mind.

…………

Coming to the bank of the stream that has special meaning to the three of them, Luo Luo broke the silence curiously.

"Are we going to the other side?"

"No, we're going upstream along this creek. The water here has magical fluctuations. Although it's weak, it means that the upstream must be close to towns and the like."

"So that's it, can you feel the magic fluctuations? In my opinion, it's just ordinary water."

"I also feel a little bit, brother..."

Luo Luo interjected embarrassingly.

"...So, am I the only one who can't feel anything? Although I really don't have any talent for learning magic, it seems that even my perception is lower than the average level? Has God abandoned me?"

"God must know how to let go when it's time to let go."

Ling made up for Aika's fragile heart, and Luo Luo could only helplessly smile wryly at the side.

"But what is certain is that there must be creatures that rely on magic to survive upstream, and it is not necessarily a human town, right? It may also be a lair of monsters."

"It is indeed possible... But, in this small forest on the border of the empire, are there really magical beasts that contain enough magic power to leak out? So, it can only be human settlements such as towns. "

Ling looked around disapprovingly, her long hair drew beautiful golden tracks in the air.

"That's right, anyway, let's go with you." Aika shrugged, people who can't perceive the fluctuation of magic power have no right to speak, "Speaking of which, Lolo, what are you looking at? You seem very nervous look."

Luo Luo was shaking her long sky blue hair, looking around.

"Hmm...I always feel as if something is staring at us, very uncomfortable..."

"..."

This sentence made Aika concentrate his attention, he knew that Luo Luo would not say anything without basis. Ling also seemed to have noticed something from the expressions of the two of them.

"Do you want to move?"

she asked in a low voice.

"No, wait a little longer. I don't know the other party's identity, location, and purpose. Moving casually will only give the other party an opportunity..."

Although it was the original words that my father warned Eika before leaving, but now it can be regarded as the knowledge he has mastered.

He calmly summoned the silver-white double guns called "Pupils of Fierce Flame", and the index finger has already pulled the trigger.

"Aika, are the two pistols you used before just magic tools?"

"Magic equipment? Should it be considered?"

"How about the power? I remember you said just now that you have no magic talent, and you can't perceive magic power, but that kind of power is obviously not something that people without magic talent can use?"

"I don't know, I just use it if I want to."

Aika really couldn't express in a few words what it felt like to use these two pistols to perform magic. Compared with the so-called magical talent, it is more like knowing that you can use such magic when you hold the handle of the gun.

"..." Ling narrowed her eyes suspiciously, and shifted her gaze from Aika's face to the silver-white guns in his hands, "Is this a magic outfit?"

"Magic costume?"

Ling said a term that Aika had never heard of in a cold tone, and he asked back.

"...Really, then it shouldn't be."

Seeing Aika's expression that she had never heard of before, Ling's tone seemed to soften.

Ling waved her hand, and the looming golden particles suddenly appeared beside her.

Aika carefully touched those firefly-like golden particles with her fingers, and a tingling pain immediately came from her fingertips.

"Don't touch it casually, I won't be responsible if your finger is broken later."

"It won't be so exaggerated..."

Although Eka was dubious, Ling's emotionless voice forced him to believe.

…………

All three are ready to enter the battle at any time.

But after a long time, nothing happened.

Apart from the buzzing of insects and gurgling water, there were no other unusual sounds around.

After a while, Luo Luo spoke again.

"It feels like that line of sight has disappeared..."

"Well, I also feel that the surrounding atmosphere is not as tense as before."

Aika turned her head and smiled softly at Lolo. Probably Luo Luo also realized that she made a mistake in judgment this time, and Aika didn't want her to blame herself for this kind of thing.

"Hmm..." Ling looked at Aika's doting on Luo Luo, and quietly moaned with some envy, "So, is it safe now?"

"I'm sorry..." No one blamed Luo Luo, so when she suddenly apologized to the two with a voice that was about to cry, it surprised them, "I'm just judging by my feelings, causing trouble for everyone It's..."

"There is no need to apologize for this kind of thing. If there is no danger, it is considered lucky. If there is really danger, then we should be the ones to thank you."

Ling walked up to Luo Luo and gently stroked her head.

"This difference in treatment is too obvious."

Aika looked at this warm picture and murmured resentfully.

"what did you just say?"

"No... didn't say anything..."

Ling looked at Aika with a smile on his face, but it only made him feel a chill down his spine.

…………

"Brother, Sister Ling, I'm sorry...I really can't move..."

Lolo hugged Aika's neck, leaned on his back and apologized feebly.

Now I don't know how long I have been walking continuously, and the surrounding plants have also changed from colorful flowers to low bushes with a dark green overall tone.

Needless to say, Luo Luo, who was physically weak, even Ling, who seemed to be a man of action, couldn't take it anymore.

Aika carried Lolo on his back, so the physical exertion was naturally not small.

"Although I don't know the time now, but we have been walking for so long, it should be time for lunch."

Aika put Luo Luo off his back, and looked around.

There was little fish left in the upstream stream, and the option of grilled fish was rejected in the first place.

Although there are various fruits on the surrounding plants, it is not known whether they are poisonous or not. Whether it is a plain or colorful mushroom, most of these wild plants have the magical effect of creating a wonderful world in the brain after eating them.

"How about a barbecue for lunch today?"

Ling suddenly gave an unexpected suggestion.

"What are you daydreaming about?"

"I'm serious! Look over there."

Along the front pointed by Ling's finger, there are two fiery red objects shaking in a low bush.

"Is that the fire wolf?" Aika asked Lolo in a low voice, "The sight I felt before must be them?"

"Probably so. The downstream plants are too colorful, and now they are surrounded by green, so it is difficult for them to hide. It turns out that they have followed us for such a long way..."

Luo Luo didn't appear very nervous, but he still had some concerns.

"But compared to invisible threats, visible ones are more reassuring."

Aika loaded both guns. The two fire wolves glanced at the three of them in the bushes, then quickly backed away.

"Do you want to run away when you are discovered? Aika, let's follow."

Ling couldn't help but chased after her, followed closely by Aika.

"You two, wait!"

Seeing Aika and Ling running further and further away, stimulated by their appetite, Luo Luo had no choice but to chase after him while hesitating.

…………

Aika and Ling Bing chased the two red tails that stood up in front of them in two separate ways.

The two fire wolves didn't flee in a straight line, but turned left and right sometimes, choosing rugged mountain roads to escape.

Ling gradually became impatient, because the distance between them and the two fire wolves did not get much closer.

"Trouble is dead, I'll cut down all the plants that are in the way."

"Don't destroy the surrounding environment casually, or we won't even be able to find our way back later!"

"I'm not a road idiot!"

Ling, whose main task was to lead the way, replied unceremoniously, and then grasped the long knife made of golden particles all over her body.

It was the first time Aika saw Ling using such an elegant and neat weapon. She who was holding a long knife and the girl who was wielding a dagger indiscriminately before seemed to be two different people.

She swung the blade of the long knife deftly as she chased, cutting down the undergrowth like thin paper along the way.

"That knife is very sharp, isn't it an ordinary knife?"

"It's just an ordinary knife. The golden particles you encounter can be understood as part of the blade."

Aika couldn't help shivering all over his body. Fortunately, I just touched it with my fingertips. If I grabbed it directly, this hand would definitely not be the same as it is now...

"It's so dangerous, so dangerous..."

For the first time, I experienced this feeling of surviving after a catastrophe.

"Brother, sister Ling, wait a minute! It's dangerous to chase after him!" Luoluo shouted from behind as if trying to squeeze out all the air in his lungs, "Ahead is the lair where the fire wolves live!"

"It seems to be the case...but it's too late..."

The two people who braked in time noticed the strangeness around them. Only then did they notice that they had run into a deep canyon.

On the cliffs on both sides, dozens of brightly colored fire wolves were looking down at them.

With a long howl, the wolves moved out of the way, and a wolf king who was a circle larger than the other fire wolves slowly appeared from among the wolves. Except for the pair of green eyes, all the other hairs on the whole body are dancing like crimson flames.

As if showing off his majestic demeanor, the wolf king let out a long howl again.

Taking this as a signal, the fire wolves jumped down the cliff one after another, and slowly surrounded the three of them.

"Ahem..." Chasing the two people in front all the way, Luo Luo, who had never done such strenuous exercise, panted heavily and hid behind Aika, "You guys are running too fast... Cough cough... Dad told us before that fire wolves are used to catching prey in groups, and raising their tails means that there are companions around. Brother, you big fool, why can't you always remember!"

Lolo kept hammering on Aika's back.

"At a time like this, can we just bite the bullet and go for it?" Aika took out his two guns, as if he didn't take the tense moment in front of him to heart, "So it was Ling who first proposed to chase this group of people." Fire Wolf, what are you going to do now?"

"Huh? What are you talking about? Is it all my fault? Aren't you rushing ahead of me? Hurry up and feed the wolves!"

Ling stomped her feet angrily, and pointed the tip of the long knife at Aika. The two argued with each other sentence by sentence, and the tense atmosphere dissipated unconsciously.

Luo Luo looked at the two companions who were blushing in contention, with long sky-blue hair gently swaying in the wind, half-covering his mouth and showing a smile.

"I should be the biggest victim, right? It's all your fault for not listening to my advice. So, what are Aika and Sister Ling going to do?"

"That's needless to say? Miss Luo Luo, you just need to rest by the side."

"I will save you and this man who will feed wolves at any time."

Aika and Ling looked at Luo Luo with gentle eyes, and immediately glared at each other again.

The wolf king, who had been ignored all this time, was finally angered by the leisurely attitude of the three of them.

It exhaled a scorching breath, and then jumped down from the cliff. The huge body turned half a circle in midair, and then spit out a huge fireball at the position where the three of them were standing.

The air was suddenly heated, and the surrounding scenery seemed to shake with the hot air.

Aika just laughed at this.

"As expected of the fire wolf who is called the overlord of this forest, it is said to be a third-tier monster, but it feels completely different from the description I heard, and it looks more imposing now! But sorry, although I really want to catch it Take this opportunity to learn about the so-called third-tier monsters..."

He raised one of the silver-white pistols, aimed at the galloping fireball and pulled the trigger. A beam of silver-white magic power turned into a bullet and shot out from the muzzle of the gun, hitting the unstoppable fireball head-on.

At the moment when red and silver intertwine, the field of vision is filled with the dazzling light caused by the explosion of magic power.

Aika immediately took out the second pistol and pulled the trigger in the same direction.

The wolf king's wailing came from mid-air, and the bullets from the Fierce Eye's eyes never missed.

The moment Ling regained her vision, she also moved quickly.

The light-golden long sword returned to floating golden particles, and then gathered in Ling's hands again to construct two Taidao with a blade length of about one meter.

Holding a big sword in each hand, Ling quickly approached one of the fire wolves whose vision had not recovered, and pushed one of the big swords into its body without any resistance.

At the same time, two fire wolves leaped high behind her, trying to gain an advantage from above. Ling lowered her body a little, and when the two fire wolves jumped over her head, she quickly swung the other sword sideways.

The two poor victims lost their strength in mid-air and fell in front of Ling.

On Aika's side, every bullet from the Blazing Eye's bullets could take the life of a fire wolf. Gradually, the wolves only dared to surround him, but they dared not move forward.

If the fire wolf hadn't fallen in front of him, Aika wouldn't have shot, so the two sides were in a stalemate like that.

"That guy... is he still thinking about showing mercy at this time?"

If she was only in awe of life, then Ling would not blame Eka. But it's just a woman's benevolence that she can't do anything at this time.

There is not only one lair of fire wolves in this deep forest, the battle between them must have been sensed by the fire wolves in other lairs, and they are all gathering towards this place now.

In other words, the reason why these fire wolves only trapped Aika but did not pounce on it was just to wait for the arrival of their partners. But Aika, who lacks experience in wild survival, did not realize this.

Just when Ling turned around to go to reinforce Aika, several fire wolves circled behind her from behind.

At this time, Ling's attention was completely on Aika's side, and she didn't notice the approaching danger at all.

Luo Luo, who was hiding in a safe place to watch the battle, could look across the entire battlefield, and after noticing the danger of approaching Ling, she immediately called out with a voice that would expose herself.

"Sister Ling, watch out!"

Ling didn't react immediately, but Aika immediately understood Luo Luo's warning, so he immediately broke the deadlock without hesitation.

The untargeted burst of magic power took the lives of several fire wolves in an instant, breaking the encirclement of the fire wolves. He rushed straight in front of Ling, put his arms around her waist, and then used his other hand to pull the trigger on the fire wolf that was jumping at Ling from behind.

But the remaining fire wolf had already approached and swung its sharp claws.

Aika only had one pistol at the moment, and it was too late to fire a second shot, so he could only use his back to protect Ling sideways.

The sharp claws sliced ​​open Eka's white cloak, and the pure white was gradually stained with bright red.

The death of the wolf king and his companions did not scare them away, but inspired their bloodthirsty nature.

"elder brother!"

Seeing that Aika was injured, Luo Luo hurried over to help Aika heal.

"Fool, don't come here! Protect yourself!"

"But……"

Luo Luo stopped immediately. Being able to understand the situation in a short period of time is her advantage, but she still can't let Aika and Ling be left alone among the wolves.

"I'll be able to get rid of this side soon, just stand there obediently and don't move!"

Aika still warns Lolo of his lack of tenderness, but this may be just another manifestation of his tenderness.

Beads of sweat ran across his forehead. Now it is very difficult for him to continue standing while holding Ling, and the amount of bleeding from the wound on his back is not optimistic. This is the first time that Aika has suffered such a serious injury.

Although Luo Luo didn't insist on healing Aika, she was also very aware of the pain after such an injury.

Ling's hand was resting on Aika's back, and the annoying sticky feeling was transmitted to her brain along her fingertips.

Ling's mind suddenly became blank.

"Another...to protect me..."

Faces and pictures flashed in her mind.

Father, mother, older sister... People I know, people I don't know... Everyone is sacrificing their lives to protect themselves, protecting their immature self.

Because of my own weakness, people who cared about me were injured and even died.

Despite being protected by everyone at such a price, I still can't take a step forward, and I am still that useless child.

Ling's trembling became more and more obvious, and her eyes lost focus. Aika was more worried about Ling who was in his arms than the pack of wolves that hadn't receded.

"Ling! Try harder, we can definitely escape! Don't give up here!"

Aika's shout brought Ling back to reality.

Seeing Aika who was still tightly protecting herself despite her body trembling involuntarily due to the pain, Ling just felt her nose sore, and quickly buried her face in Aika's chest.

"Hey, hey! It's still very dangerous now! Don't cry!"

"I didn't cry! I didn't... Eka, you pervert!"

Ling beat Aika's chest hard, but the beating that couldn't bring pain was just like acting like a baby.

After venting her feelings, Ling waved her hand. The two swords inserted into the ground shattered into golden particles, but they did not disappear, nor did they recreate the shape of a long sword.

The golden particles gradually gathered together, and then melted together, turning into a dazzling golden light ball the size of a fist.

With the instinct of a beast, the fire wolves sensed that this ball of golden light exuded a dangerous smell, and they all backed away involuntarily.

However, the next moment, the dazzling golden ball of light shook slightly in mid-air a few times, and then disappeared.

The fire wolves fell down one after another. Where they left, a scarlet-gold trail was left behind.

…………

When Ling opened her eyes again, the surroundings were already pitch black.

The top of the head is no longer the emerald green, but a sky full of stars and a bright moon.

"It's so beautiful..."

She muttered involuntarily.

"Brother, sister Ling is awake!"

Luoluo's excited voice came from Ling's side. Only at this time did she notice that Aika was walking on a country road with her back on her back.

"We have already left the forest. We didn't expect that the canyon is the way to the outside of the forest. We will be in Puffa Town soon. Do you want to rest here?"

In this posture, Aika couldn't turn his head, so he could only continue to look at the front and smiled at Ling, not seeing that he was still on the line of life and death before.

Has the wound on his back healed yet? Now that he can lean on his back like this, it should be fine, right?

In just a few hours, such a serious injury can be completely healed. Ling looked at Luo Luo who was quietly walking beside Aika.

All she could think of was what this young girl who had been under protection had done for Aika.

This time, seeing Aika's gentle smile, Ling didn't ridicule him anymore, but kept silent for a while.

"What's the matter? Let me state in advance, this is not to say that you are heavy. I just don't know if you need to set up a tent nearby to sleep. Even if you keep walking now, it will already be dawn when you reach Puffa Town."

Aika was afraid that Ling would misunderstand, and let herself experience the thrill of dying again.

"I, I don't think so! Go on, it's very disturbing to spend the night outside, right, Lolo? Ahhh!"

Ling accidentally let go of Aika's neck while waving her hands indiscriminately to cover it up, and almost fell off Aika's back.

"Don't move around! Hey, he's strangling my neck! Let go, I'm going to die!"

"Ahaha... Sister Ling may not have been recited like this before."

"Aika, let me down, I can go by myself..."

"I can continue walking. It doesn't matter if Sister Ling doesn't want to sleep now." Luo Luo walked slowly beside Aika, the familiar voice was as soft as usual, "And, I also want to see more The night sky, I haven’t been able to see it for the past few days.”

Aika didn't notice Lolo's real mood at the moment. What does it mean for her to have Ling join in their journey of mutual dependence?
