Mi Yu had just swallowed a mouthful of saliva when he suddenly noticed that Gan, who was standing in front of him, had the hairs on his arms standing on end for some reason. A huge body parted the thick grass, casting two people in a terrible shadow. "……what?" Yayo suddenly couldn't tell what was in front of him. The beast stood on two legs like a legendary bear that haunted the Eastern Kingdom. It was almost as tall as Yayo and Kama combined, and its body was so thick that they couldn't hold it hand in hand.Two round eyes reminiscent of flies are looking down at the two people.

But only the physique is similar to the bear.Other than that, it was not like energy, nor like any other beast.First of all, this thing doesn't have a single hair on its body.His bent body and long arms hang down, not so much like a bear, but more like a monkey.Its whole body is covered with rust-like skin, but there are many white bones protruding from it.The right arm is like a club without a palm, and the left arm looks like a sharp sickle that I have never seen before. The two were dumbfounded. This creepy monster had a stench all over its body, and its creaking sound was like the chirping of insects, which frightened the two people at a loss.

Birds and beasts are all prey to the strong.Although there are a few exceptions, it is the rule in the wild that large animals prey on small ones.Located in this remote place in the mountains, this iron rule can't help but be branded in the subconscious of Miyu and Gan.The monster in front of them was so huge that this alone made the two of them fearful. Fear gripped their bodies, and the two stood dumbfounded, their legs trembling and sweat dripping down.If it weren't for a little bit of luck, both of them would have been killed on the spot. The so-called little luck is a small gadfly——a gadfly that flies with disturbing wing sounds, lands on Miyu's ankle, sticks out its mouthparts, and sucks Miyu's bodily fluids.

The pain from the needle prick made Mi Yu regain his consciousness. "……monster!" With this cry, the sense of crisis paralyzed by fear was also revived.Mi Yu reached out and patted Gan on the back.As if suddenly realizing it, the young man yelled and slashed out with a sword. "Hey!" The bronze sword drew a blue-black arc and hit the top of the monster's head.With a bang, one of the compound eyes was cut to pieces, but the monster didn't show the slightest sign of pain.It raised the stick high and slammed it down, and the air that was split made a dull whining sound.

The stick hit Gan's arm with a sharp force.Gan was beaten and flew out like a puppy, and rolled a few times after falling to the ground.Mi Yu hurriedly ran over to hold his arm. "How about it?" "Well……" Gan stood up, with his nose and eyebrows huddled together, and only said: "The hand that wielded the sword was missed." That seemed to mean that he could fight again, but the arm that was beaten was hanging limply, which was obviously gone. It's swollen. "His Royal Highness, run away." "Don't say stupid things." "It's you who are stupid. Quick!"

At this time, the monster had already bent down and tore through the weeds and rushed over.Seeing the monster raising its scythe high and about to strike, Miyu hugged Gan's body and rolled out sideways.The scythe swung through the air with a dull crash. Mi Yu brushed aside the weeds on his face and looked up, feeling a chill down his back - he saw a tree as thick as his own thigh cut down in the middle.The monster turned to stare at them, and once again pushed through the grass and approached.Although the body was much bigger than Miyu, it made almost no sound when walking, which was even more terrifying.

Will this thing also eat people like a bear?Ah, no.This thing has no mouth. It's not for eating, but for pure killing. Gan jumped up silently, and pierced the monster's armpit with the sharp copper sword.There was a ding, a cold metallic sound.What Mi Yuxian saw was Gan's astonished expression and the tip of the bronze sword spinning out.Is it stone or iron that can break even a sword?Yayo was very surprised, but still rushed forward without hesitation, using all his strength to hit the monster's scythe with the wooden stick in his hand, but the wooden stick was bounced off, and his arm was numb.

Immediately after that, Mi Yu was shaken away by a huge force and fell to the ground. "sweet!" The boy pounced on Yayo.The monster's sickle slashed across his back, easily cutting open his flesh.Yayo watched all this helplessly, as if watching something happening in another world. "sweet……" "……escape……" "sweet?" "Run away..." What came in and out with the moaning sound was blood.Gan's back turned into a pool of blood. Mi Yu heard the clicking sound, which came from the monster.The stick swung again. Before the next blow came, Miyu picked up Gan's thin body and ran away desperately.

"...Who will save us!" There was a constant crashing sound from behind.Trees were cut down.The sound of footsteps on the grass was getting closer.Compared with the monster's frighteningly fast footsteps, Miyo ran staggeringly.Whoosh!There was wind in my ears.Yayo bent down and climbed up the slope.Her heart was pounding, and she was about to take a deep breath, but she fell to the ground and her mouth was covered in mud.The sound of footsteps landed beside her. Yayo was picked up, and in front of him was the sea to the west.Yayo barely raised his head, and what he saw was the belly of the monster behind him, with his sickle raised high.

Strange, Miyo thought, is he going to die like this?It would have been nice if he escaped with Gan over the root of the tail. —— Or, is this fate a punishment for this thought in my heart? Suddenly, there were continuous explosions above his head, and Miyu was shaken and fell back to the ground. what is that? "The stun gun missed. Spontaneously backed up. Counterattack and traps were not detected. ET with low combat effectiveness." "Shut up and find me. Where are the other ETs?" The voices of a man and a woman came from the ears.Yayo couldn't understand what they were saying, and didn't even think for a moment that he was saved.Mi Yu thought it was a monster that made the loud thunderous noise just now.She collected herself, held her breath, and looked around, but she didn't see the scythe, only one person standing in front of her.

It was a tall man, wearing a coal-gray armor, the armor was full of cracks, and he was holding an unusually long sword in his right hand.He has a serious expression reminiscent of a seasoned warrior.The reason why Yayo thinks he is a man is because of his tall physique, but in fact his appearance is very different from the people in this land that Yayo knows. "Survival confirmed. The female suffered minor injuries, and the male was bleeding profusely. Will collapse in six minutes." The woman's voice sounded again, but no one could be seen.The man came over and said something to Yayo. "Can you handle this kid?" Yayo couldn't understand what he was saying.But at least he didn't swing his sword at him, so of course there was no hostility.Miyu put him on the ground in a state of worry and resignation.The wound on Gan's back was so long that it was almost impossible to treat it, but even so, Yayo tore off his clothes and began to bandage him. "It takes about an hour to stop the bleeding. Need to prevent infection..." said a woman's voice.Yayo looked up, and to her surprise, the sound seemed to come from the sword in the man's hand.And when the man answered, his eyes were also on the sword. "Wait. What about the other ETs?" "Not detected. The group signal network is not even set up. That ET seems to be just an invalid dispersion." "You can't be careless even if you place an order. Where's the location?" "Stationary 35 meters away—!" Suddenly, a huge tree trunk flew out of the forest and hit the man directly.The man flew out as if he had been hit by a battering ram, and the sword was thrown from his hand, sticking to the ground next to Miyu.The galloping monster jumped high and rushed at the man. "sword!" The heavy stick hit the screaming man, and the man jumped up with unbelievable agility. Miyo thought he was going to bend over to avoid it, but he stretched his hand to his waist, and then threw many stones at the monster.Small explosions sounded on the monster one after another, but the monster just paused for a moment, and then continued to move forward as if nothing had happened, waving a stick and sickle to fight the man hand-to-hand. "Woman, throw it!" Miyu, who was distracted by the battle, suddenly heard the sound of a sword coming from his ear, and couldn't help but turn around. "Throw me over, quick!" The slightly curved sword, with a milky white body and a transparent blade, looks extremely beautiful, and its material is obviously different from Gan's copper sword.It is speaking to Miyu. "Woman, hurry up!" "Give me Katie!" The cries of the man and the sword overlapped, and Yayo finally understood the meaning.She stretched out her hand to draw the sword, and while marveling at its weight, she ran up and threw it, and the spinning sword flew towards the man. A white light shone from the great sword. The big sword chopped down the stick like cutting grass, and the returned blow broke the sickle like a thin plate. The monster turned timidly and tried to escape, but was cut into the shoulder by the big sword, and came out from the other side of the body .Immediately afterwards, the big sword swung again, and the monster whose body had been gaped wide open couldn't dodge in time, and its head fell off in response.The big sword pierced the incision just now, and the man shouted loudly: "Burn!" Immediately, there was a sound like cold water being poured on a hot iron block, and thin smoke came out of the monster's body. In the blink of an eye, everything is over.The monster that had been cut to pieces was completely shattered, and the man retracted the big sword into the scabbard on his back, and walked towards Yayu. Mi Yu seems to be dreaming.If it is our own country that wants to defeat this monster, I am afraid it will need hundreds of elite soldiers and a fortress.Among the methods she could think of, it seemed that only digging a trap was feasible. What does it mean that everything is over in the blink of an eye?Even if Yayo thought that "Envoy" was just a myth and legend, he immediately understood the identity of the man.No other explanation is possible. "Are you... the envoy of the "Envoy"?" The ancient wise man who issued the order of heaven and earth. The man in question looked at the sword behind his back. "Do you understand?" the man said to the sword. "There seems to be a slight deviation from the original time branch, but it is still understandable as ancient Japanese. Do you want a translation?" "Knowing the year I can do it myself. My time is AD248. What's yours?" "Same." The man nodded, looked at Yayo and said, "I am O, the messenger O. Can you understand me?" "Understood. You are the messenger's... king?" "It's the messenger." Mi Yu let go of the hand that had been pressing on Gan's back, and bowed deeply. "My concubine pays homage to the king of "Envoy". Thank you for saving my life." "The etiquette will be waived. Let me see the child." Yayo stepped aside as instructed.Wang knelt down and touched Gan's wound.When Mi Yu saw the blood-stained muscles and muscles exposed from the gaps in the cloth strips, he couldn't help turning his head away, not daring to look at them. After a while, he turned his head cautiously, only to find that the wound had been covered with a thin layer of skin.Yayo couldn't help but widen his eyes. "hurt……" "I can't get back the blood. Take a good rest." "Many thanks." Mi Yu fell to the ground, kowtowed and saluted, tears streaming from his eyes.However, somewhere in the corner of the mind, there is a suspense: the king of "Envoy", the person who wrote "Envoy", how will the Guoge view his appearance?There is no doubt that in order to distinguish good and bad, one must first perform divination.Can turtles and the like do it?For such an important event, someone may propose to perform slaying-it is a terrible ritual of cutting off the sinner's head and seeing how the spurted blood splashes down for divination. And it can only be occupied by yourself. Yayo didn't want this to happen.She wanted to avoid such a terrible thing as much as possible. This was what was on Miyo's mind when Wang stood up. "By the way, woman, are you a slave here?" "no." "Come from somewhere else? Then, do you know anyone nearby? I want to know the geography and national conditions. Is this place also called Xingui Mountain now?" "Mount Shiki. I don't know anyone nearby." "At least you know the way down the mountain? I'm going to the village. Help me lead the way." "why?" "I want to find the king here and persuade him to prepare for the battle."
