  Chapter 9 Expectations

  Golden-red mist is gushing out from Elan's body, dissipating in the surrounding area, and continuously deriving from the white-haired child.

  Its color is red, which is a dangerous blood color, but strands of gold burst out from this blood color, and the two colors are intertwined, immediately giving off a dazzling streamer.

   As time goes by, in the vision of foresight, the entire hut seems to be filled with this golden-red light.

   "Gudong."

  In the silence, Ian couldn't help swallowing. Even with his mind, he felt a little unbelievable for a while: "Gold, gold?"

  He saw the **** mist, but he didn't take it seriously. After all, with his current age and strength, where is it not dangerous to go?

   It's strange to have no blood, just look at the depth.

   "Let me take a closer look." Ian took a step forward, and he carefully observed the surge of mist emerging from his younger brother.

  The **** aura is slightly less than that of the West River, but still heavier than the official road, which means that it is definitely dangerous to go to the lake forest to bury the corpse.

   "Will you encounter coyotes? Or encounter wild boars, black bears and other wild animals?"

  In Ian's memory, there are no particularly dangerous beasts outside the Bison Mountains around Harrison Port. If there were any, the pioneers and immigration groups back then would not have chosen this place to build a city and a port.

   When it comes to lethality, all kinds of poisonous insects and miasmas are higher than these beasts. As we all know, mosquitoes are the most murderous non-human creatures.

  Although according to the elders of the clan, there are indeed many "monsters" and "alien" with psionic abilities or abnormal mutations on the continent of Terra, possessing all kinds of strange powers.

  But those powerful creatures have a huge hunting area, and only in the deep forests can they have the ecology that meets their survival requirements, so they rarely come out to harass human gathering places.

  In the lake forest, it is absolutely impossible to encounter this kind of monster. If it encounters it, the blood overflowing from Elan's body will at least converge into a river and turn into a tsunami. Harrison Port must also be prepared to kill or injure hundreds of people.

  Ian estimated the intensity of the blood, and felt that he might also meet a wild boar and a wolf... Although it is a bit dangerous, if he throws his uncle's body as bait, he will not die.

   What's more, he still has a lot of sleep powder left that is useless... When the time comes, a pack of sleep powder will be thrown in the face, and whoever hunts is not sure!

  The most important thing is that touch of gold.

   "What does the golden mist represent?"

  Ian didn't know, but instinct told him that it was a'good omen'.

   Moreover, it is still very, very positive, which can be called a good omen of good luck!

  Although he has not seen all the colors, in Ian's mind, he has his own set of standards for various rare grades due to his experience in playing many games.

  Blue is 'rare', above it is 'extraordinary', and above it is 'handed down'.

  Even if it is 'handed down', it may not be gold... gold, it may be 'legendary'!

   "What happened, and there will be such a big good thing going there? Is my psychic power reliable?"

  Ian couldn't help but raised his head and looked in the direction of Hulin. He murmured, "Cherish it, it's a legendary treasure, or is it an opportunity? Fortune and misfortune depend on each other, I naturally understand..."

  But soon, he shook his head and made up his mind: "Forget it, it's really unreasonable not to go."

  Since it is dangerous no matter which choice you choose, and you have to go out, why not choose the side with good luck?

  Don't say that at present, my psychic power is very reliable... Even if it is not reliable, I have to go!

   "With my current starting situation, I have no right to worry about gains and losses."

   Already mentally prepared, Ian closed his eyes and turned off the spiritual power of the vision vision.

  When he opened his eyes again, the crystal blue pupils had dimmed.

   This is also a feature related to psionic energy that Ian discovered.

  When he, or in other words, all psykers on Terra continent use psychic power, there will be a slight light shining from their eyes.

The eyes are the windows to the soul, and psychic power is the fire of the soul. It is quite reasonable to use the windows to transmit the fire... But if this is the case, it may not be possible to hide the fact that you have psychic powers. If you want to hide it and use it secretly to spy on other people people, it will be more difficult.

   "It's not a bad thing, so if other psykers want to spy on me, I will find out."

  Ian is always very optimistic about this.

  Uncle Oceana's body was wrapped tightly in canvas, and because the wound was deep and small, not much blood flowed out.

  With Ian's original strength, it is really difficult to drag an adult, even the per capita adjuster in the Terra continent.

  However, after awakening his psychic powers and having a full stomach, he felt comfortable throughout his body and his eyes and ears were clear.

  Even the wound on the head that was knocked out by my uncle is almost healed, and there are bursts of itching and soreness, which is a sign that the wound is healing quickly and growing flesh.

   For a while, his strength increased, and even Ian himself felt a little surprised.

  Now Ian is not difficult to half-carry and half-drag his uncle's body. This is the strength that ordinary teenagers can only have.

  The night is dark.

  When Ian left the house full of rotten wood, it seemed like a lifetime away.

He looked back amidst the sound of insects, and looked at this ordinary old house with decayed and broken outer walls, and then turned around, looking at the dark street illuminated by the ever-burning lights, and at the end of the distant port, which was under the moonlight. The churning blue sea.

  The new world was in front of his eyes, and the reborn boy couldn't help but smile.

   "Yeah, whether it's time-traveling or reincarnation, I have already left my hometown."

  Ian raised his head. He looked at the starry sky of Terra. There were not many flowing clouds in the quiet black sky, but the stars were quite sparse. Only the lonely silver moon hanging in the middle of the sky was like a hook, reflecting the sky full of tulle.

  The sea tide is churning, the insects are singing like a song, and the fine pieces of light are flying between the sea and the sky, just like a dream painted on a dark curtain.

   "It's a pity that there are very few stars. Is it a special celestial phenomenon in this world? I clearly remember that there were quite a lot of stars when I was young."

   Staring at the sea and sky, the boy said to himself: "But it's not bad...I lost the starry sky of the earth, but gained the sky of Terra, and a whole new world."

   "Wait, hometown, since I can come, then I can go back."

   "Just before that... Please allow me to see a lot here, so that I can witness things that I have never seen before, and that have never been seen on earth."

  —In the silent town in the middle of the night, the young boy dragged the corpse with great anticipation, and walked towards the lake forest with some difficulty.

   And a golden mist followed closely behind the boy.

  With a little curiosity.

   and the same expectation.
