"Brother Zimo, I've thought about it," Lin Ruhu said quickly when he saw Xu Zimo.
"No matter what, I respect your choice," Xu Zimo smiled and nodded.
"I have been practicing since the beginning just to be by your side. You ask me what I really think in my heart.
My grandfather told me that everyone has a goal in practicing. Some people want to become stronger and control their own destiny, some people want to live forever, and some people just want to protect their loved ones.
I don’t have that big ambition. Neither the so-called destiny nor the scenery at the end of the martial arts path is important to me.
I practice just so that I can be by your side and fight alongside you, so that one day I won't have to rely on you for protection, and I won't even be able to catch up with your back. "
Looking at Lin Ruhu's sincere face, Xu Zimo moved slightly and said slowly: "It's just like when we met that white tiger with hanging eyes when we were seven years old."
Hearing Xu Zimo's words, Lin Ruhu was stunned and asked blankly: "Brother Zimo, it turns out you still remember that incident."
Xu Zimo smiled, and time seemed to have returned to that afternoon.
When the white tiger opened its bloody mouth, he said, "Brother, the elder brother is in front and the younger brother is behind, so I have to protect you."
Lin Ruhu's chubby face was full of stubbornness. He shook his head and replied, "I won't leave. Either we run together or we die together."
At that time, the two of them had not yet come into contact with cultivation. Fortunately, Lin Ruhu carried a heaven-level dagger on his body.
In the end, the two of them were scarred, but they still managed to deal with the hanging-eyed white tiger.
Later, Xu Zimo learned that when the two of them escaped from Zongyou, someone was quietly following them to protect them.
It was also the person who secretly took action to kill the white tiger with hanging eyes.
Xu Zimo knew that that incident had greatly touched Lin Ruhu, and was also the reason why Lin Ruhu vowed to always be with him.
He smiled, looked at Lin Ruhu and said, "I did forget it before, but God gave me another chance to do it again, and now I remember it."
Lin Ruhu scratched his head and smiled. Although he didn't understand what Xu Zimo meant by another chance, he was still very happy inside.
"This time, let us brothers work together to fight for the end of our destiny," Xu Zimo patted Lin Ruhu on the shoulder and said with a smile.
Lin Ruhu nodded heavily.
…………
There are still two days left before the Blood Demon Secret Realm is opened. Xu Zimo has not practiced in the past two days, so it is rare to relax.
Moreover, he has just stabilized his true life world, and this time can also be used to better adapt to this power.
The setting sun renders the boundless sky, birds and sunset are reflected in the dusk, and the soft evening breeze blows gently past my face.
Xu Zimo was lying on a chair in the courtyard, playing with the dark tiger he had raised.
Although the name Situ Goudan is a bit unremarkable, as his pet, he will one day become famous in the mainland.
The little tiger has now passed its infancy and has officially entered the growth stage.
It was larger than Xu Zimo, the black hair on its body was thicker, and the thin wings on its back were also much larger.
In the past, when the little tiger was still small, he didn't dare to ride it, but now that it has grown so big, Xu Zimo felt that it should be useful.
Traveling on an emperor-level monster should be very cool.
Goudan, who was chasing butterflies among the elixir flowers, looked at the indescribable smile on Xu Zimo's face. For some reason, his back felt cold, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.
……………
The origin of the story begins with Emperor Zhenwu carrying the destiny.
At that time, the wilderness era was still dominated by monsters.
But I don't know when, the legend of destiny suddenly appeared in the world. It is said that those who bear the destiny will be invincible in the contemporary era.
After a lot of competition and battles, no one expected that the destiny of the first generation would be obtained by an unknown human boy.
Some people say that Emperor Zhenwu created the era of emperors. In fact, at that time many monsters were still dreaming about dominating the era.
Until that battle, Emperor Zhenwu launched a shocking battle with ten divine beasts.
That day, blood spilled all over the earth, the sky roared, and the painful screams of divine beasts resounded throughout the Yuanyang Continent.
That man fought with blood, his momentum was like a river rushing ninety thousand miles, and his sword energy hung upside down in the sky for a hundred thousand years.
Behind him is the corpse of the nine-headed beast.
At that moment, people realized something.
People really got to know the man.
His name is Zhenwu,
He carries the destiny,
He is the first human being,
He ushered in the age of emperors,
All the monsters were hiding in the corner and shivering.
Their glory has gone away since then, and the era of wilderness... is over!
People are cheering and celebrating the coming of this new era.
Nine of the ten mythical beasts died in battle, and one escaped with serious injuries. The glory of the monster beast was destined to decline.
And where those nine monsters fell, their blood polluted the world, and all the creatures there were mutated.
A new species also emerged, the blood demon.
Emperor Zhenwu sealed the world, but the blood demon's hostility was too strong.
Every three years, the seal will be broken open, and the disciples of the Zhenwu Holy Sect need to enter the seal to kill the blood demon and reduce their hostility.
But later people discovered that the formation of these blood demons was caused by the blood pollution and mutation of the nine-headed monster beast.
After killing the blood demons, you can also get the blood demon crystals in their bodies. These blood demon crystals have more or less the blood of the nine-headed beasts.
Absorbing the blood energy of these blood magic crystals can strengthen the blood energy in the warrior's body.
Ever since, what was originally a hard job of killing the blood demon turned into a secret realm.
Before Emperor Zhenwu ascended, he originally wanted to directly destroy the Blood Demon Secret Realm.
After all, the human race who came from the Wilderness era were extremely disgusted with monsters.
However, it stayed here later for two reasons.
One is that the existence of this Blood Demon Secret Realm can always supervise the Zhenwu Saint Sect and give its disciples a place to practice.
The second is the blood magic crystal. With the existence of the blood magic crystal, this place is a treasure.
………………
A few days later, the Blood Demon Secret Realm opened, and the disciples who were preparing to enter the secret realm stood at the entrance and started queuing up.
In fact, the qualifications to enter the Blood Demon Secret Realm are not very demanding.
The first is that all core disciples of the sect can participate.
Second, the top ten disciples on the Hidden Dragon Ranking and Crouching Tiger Ranking of the inner and outer sects can also participate.
The third is that some elders' juniors are also eligible to participate. After all, as long as this kind of thing is not excessive, everyone will turn a blind eye.
Early in the morning, Xu Zimo, Lin Ruhu, and Xiao Guizi headed towards the Blood Demon Secret Realm.
