"Why is it missing? Could it be that he discovered it?" Pei Yuan slowly looked sideways and carefully observed the surrounding exits.
He followed Wu Daoda all the way to a dark and humid place. The surrounding sand walls and sand boards showed signs of being soaked by the water flow, but they were still very solid.
Tick tock! Tick tock!
It won't take long for water droplets to condense on the sand board above your head. After that, it will fall on the sand drop by drop. Because of the water droplets, the gravel on the ground is extremely soft.
The most important thing is that there are no footprints on the sand leading to the surrounding exits.
Because the sand is soft, water will be squeezed out when you step down. If Wu Daoda walked this way, he would definitely leave obvious footprints on the sand, but Pei Yuan did not find anyone walking on the sand. traces of passing.
In order to prevent Wu Daoda from walking through the sand walls on both sides, he carefully observed the sand walls, but there was still no clue.
Just as he turned around to leave, another voice sounded in his mind: "Don't forget, the man we are chasing is a knife user."
Pei Yuan frowned, thought carefully, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly said: "You mean, he used the blade to support his body, so he didn't leave any footprints on the ground."
Another voice said: "Yes! The sandy land in front of us is very dangerous. No one knows what is hidden underneath. The safest way is to pass here without touching your feet."
"Besides, if you encounter this kind of area, will you walk directly through it? In this case, your whereabouts will be exposed."
"Look carefully. The gravel on the ground will definitely not be as complete as you see. There must be traces of the blade scratching somewhere,"
Pei Yuan carefully observed the seemingly flat sand and indeed found traces left by the blade. His eyes changed slightly and he smiled: "Sure enough! Your judgment is very accurate. He did take this path."
"I have to say that you see things more profoundly than I do. This is probably the reward of long-term killing."
Another voice smiled and said: "You are wrong. Only prey will be so vigilant and will not let go of any reverie. This is also the experience I have accumulated from wandering on the edge of life and death for a long time."
Pei Yuan said modestly: "Compared to you, I still have a lot to learn."
Another voice laughed: "When hunting, it's normal to be teased by the prey at first."
“Only an experienced hunter like me can clearly see the traces of prey and not be confused by the sight in front of us.”
Pei Yuan shook his head and sighed: "Oh! I really should have learned from you."
Another voice smiled coldly and said: "I have told you before, this is a world where the weak eat the strong. The strong dominate everything, and the weak can only be slaughtered."
"Only by constantly working hard to become stronger can we survive in this world."
"The only thing about you that makes me both envious and disgusted is that you are too soft-hearted."
Pei Yuan paused and asked with a smile, "What do you mean?"
Another voice sighed softly and said: "If you are soft-hearted and don't want to kill, you can make some friends, good or bad. Do you understand?"
Pei Yuan nodded and said: "Good people will help me, bad people will harm me. It all depends on your own vision."
As soon as he said this, another voice remained silent for a long time and said calmly: "Really? I don't think so. I think bad people will harm you, and good people will also harm you."
"Of course, this is just my own idea. If you think it's wrong, I have nothing to say."
"I want to be cared for by others, but I am also afraid that I will worry about others. This is why I don't want to make friends and choose to be alone."
Pei Yuan smiled lightly and said, "This way you won't drag others down, and others won't drag you down either."
"You can do whatever you want, live freely and carefree."
Another voice was extremely regretful and said: "Yes. I don't want to trust anyone. I only believe in myself. I don't involve others or be implicated by others."
"But it is a pity that my thought did not reach the end. It can be said that I am a loser."
"A person's power is limited after all. If you want to do great things, you must have a group of trustworthy partners."
Pei Yuan looked up at the wet sand board and sighed: "There are many reasons for failure, such as opportunity, strength, talent, etc."
"I think your failure, in addition to bad luck, is also related to your arrogant character."
"Dangers arose again and again, fueling your unruly character, and in the end, you completely lost."
Another voice was silent for a moment, then said helplessly and unwillingly: "Maybe... I'm not strong enough."
"If you were once invincible in the world, how could you end up like this? Maybe this is your fate."
"Even though I fought hard and wanted to change my ending, in the end, I still couldn't get rid of my fate."
Pei Yuan's eyes turned cold and he said solemnly: "I don't believe in the so-called fate. Live without regrets, even if you end up dead, you will definitely smile with joy."
After saying that, he walked across the wet sand. When his feet landed on the ground, the thunder patterns hanging above the sand gradually dissipated.
another place
Zi Yang lay flat on the hard gravel and fell asleep soundly. Hua Yao lay beside him, slowly moving a strand of loose braid over his closed eyes.
It was so itchy that the young man in black quickly reached out to rub his eyes and pushed away her loose braids, but he did not open his eyes and just said casually: "Don't make trouble, let me sleep for a while."
The girl in white grabbed his arm and pushed him, urging: "Stop sleeping, it's time for us to set off."
Zi Yang immediately lay on his side on the sand, smacking his lips and muttering: "Walking requires physical strength. If you don't let me rest, how can I have the strength to follow you?"
"Give me some more time, I'll just rest for another hour, just one hour."
Hua Yao twisted his ears and shouted loudly: "Lazy! I don't know what's going on, but I found that you are getting lazier and lazier recently."
"You don't even want to leave now. Who do you really think you are?"
He pushed Hua Yao's jade hand and covered his hot ears with his palm. The sleepiness on his face immediately dissipated and said: "Hey, hey, be gentle, be gentle, I won't sleep anymore, I won't sleep anymore, I won't sleep anymore." It’s not okay yet.”
Hua Yao crossed her arms on her chest, glanced at him coldly, and said angrily: "Okay, come with me quickly."
Ziyang yawned and stood up lazily. He leaned forward and followed her with his arms hanging down, muttering: "I don't have a good rest, I have no energy, no physical strength, no mood..."
"Huh?" After feeling the gaze of the girl in white, he forced a smile on his face and said with a smile: "Yao Yao, since I saw you, you have become much more energetic."
"Oh?" Hua Yao walked towards him with a half-smile, Zi Yang frowned slightly and kept walking backwards until his back was close to the sand wall.
The girl in white didn't stop and moved closer to him little by little. After feeling her breath, Ziyang immediately looked up at the sand board above his head. He instinctively raised his hands, palms facing outward, to protect his chest. .
His move caught Hua Yao by surprise. Her face turned red and she slowly lowered her eyes to see the hands squeezing her breasts.
Zi Yang's body trembled, and he immediately raised his hands, pressing the backs of his hands against the sand wall. He shook his head in panic and said, "Yao Yao, I... I really didn't mean it."
The girl in white stared at him for a long time without saying a word, her face slightly gloomy.
The young man in black looked at the sand on one side and explained hesitantly: "Yao Yao, you have to believe me. I really didn't mean to..."
Hua Yao turned her back to him, exhaled heavily, looked sideways and asked, "Are you energetic now?"
Zi Yang swallowed, blinked slightly and replied, "I feel more energetic."
The girl in white asked coldly: "Zi Yang, besides being clever and taking advantage of me, what else can you do?"
He thought the matter was over, so he didn't think much about it and said directly: "What do you mean by taking advantage of you? You will be mine sooner or later. I will try my hand in advance... my hand..."
boom!
Ziyang's hair hanging down on the side of his face slowly fluttered. From the corner of his eye, he looked at the dented sand wall on the side of his face. He stood there without daring to move or take a breath.
Hua Yao looked at him maliciously and asked with a smile: "What do you want to do in advance?"
The young man in black had an idea and replied with a smile: "I just wanted to test your skills in advance, so I said that on purpose."
Hua Yao nodded to herself, retracted her raised jade leg, and said with half-squinted eyes: "Okay! If you are worried that I can't protect you, then I will discuss with you so that you can completely rest assured. You What do you think, huh?!"
Upon hearing this, Zi Yang opened his eyes slightly in fright. He immediately shook his head and said with an embarrassed smile: "No, no need. I don't doubt your strength at all, so let's skip the competition."
He saw with his own eyes that even Wuwei, who was in the fifth realm of reincarnation, was no match for Hua Yao. Although his realm had improved, there was still a gap between him and Wuwei, let alone Hua Yao, who was even stronger than Wuwei.
If he sparred with her, he would definitely get a beating from her, Zi Yang knew this very well.
The girl in white secretly thought, you want to run away after taking advantage? How can there be such a good thing in this world? I must teach you a lesson today! Otherwise, you really don’t know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is.
She said softly: "Don't. I see that your strength has improved very quickly these days, and you are a little unscrupulous in doing things. It just so happens that I have nothing to do, so I can compete with you."
The young man in black looked at her quietly, knowing that he couldn't escape. He spread his hands and said with a nonchalant smile: "It's okay to have a discussion, don't take it too seriously, just stop there. What do you think?"
Hua Yao nodded without hesitation: "No problem!"
Then, she looked at him with sympathetic eyes and said: "After all, you are so good-looking, I can't bear to be cruel to you. If I hurt you, I will be very heartbroken."
