In the blink of an eye, we spent several days and nights.
In the blink of an eye, the starry sky was shining brightly, and the entire desert was eerily silent. Only a blazing bonfire ignited the entire dark desert.
In the light of the fire, two men could be seen warming themselves by the fire.
At this time, the man with a faint green light in his eyes suddenly spoke: "Lu Lei, I will leave here tomorrow."
Lu Lei's face was full of surprise: "Where are you going?"
Sha Shengtian just replied silently: "I don't know."
This man couldn't remember what his name was, so Lu Lei couldn't find a name for him.
Because he was born in the body of a monster in the desert, he was named Sha Shengtian.
"Then how do you know you'll be leaving here tomorrow?"
Lu Lei asked again.
"Will someone pick you up tomorrow?"
Sha Shengtian just replied silently: "Maybe!"
"Actually, I don't know either. I just know that I will leave here."
The lackluster words made Lu Lei think Sha Shengtian was joking, although Sha Shengtian rarely joked when they were together.
Maybe he just can't joke and this is the first joke.
"If you say so, when will I leave here?"
Sha Shengtian said seriously: "After I leave, you will leave here."
What he said was simply unbelievable. On what basis could he say that?
Lu Lei said mockingly: "If this is the case, will we meet again?"
At this time, Lu Lei only regarded Sha Shengtian as a joke and didn't care at all about what he said.
This time, Sha Shengtian waited for a long time, looked into Lu Lei's eyes, and then said slowly: "We will meet, but we will be enemies."
"Enemies?" This made Lu Lei even more unbelievable: "Why are we enemies? Aren't we friends?"
Such a question made Sha Shengtian silent.
Because he doesn't understand why friends suddenly become enemies? Why do no matter how good of a friend you are, you become an enemy? Is this fate?
When Lu Lei saw that Sha Shengtian stopped talking, he became even more convinced that Sha Shengtian was just talking nonsense. He took it as a joke and turned to sleep.
Sha Shengtian was left squatting alone by the bonfire. Green eyes looked at the burning flames. His face was flushed.
The ordinary night always passes quickly. In a blink of an eye, the dawn shines on the entire desert, and all the sand and stones begin to warm up.
Lu Lei got up as usual and looked at the dark charcoal on the ground, with a faint puff of black smoke floating above it. Lu Lei usually hid the coke in the sand.
"What are we eating today?"
Lu Lei asked about today's recipe as always.
But what greeted him was deathly silence.
Lu Lei frowned slightly and turned to look at the place where Sha Shengtian originally slept, but it was empty at the moment.
This made Lu Lei suddenly nervous: "Did he not joke last night? Did he really leave here?"
He quickly stood up and faced the vast desert and shouted loudly: "Sha Shengtian! Sha Shengtian!"
But he was greeted only by silence. There wasn't even a human figure.
It seemed like he was the only one left in the entire desert.
Lu Lei felt extremely regretful. If only he had stayed with him more, maybe he wouldn't have been able to leave here.
Just when he was squatting on the ground, feeling particularly remorseful in his heart.
A voice suddenly appeared in front of him.
It sounds like a subtle machine noise that you can't hear unless you listen carefully.
But Lu Lei heard it clearly. He raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound, and found a portal appearing in front of him.
He looked carefully towards the portal, and it was pitch black inside.
If it were anyone else, they would not understand this portal and would even be afraid of unknown items. But for Lu Lei, it can be said to be very familiar.
If it weren't for this portal, he wouldn't have come to this deserted place.
The moment the portal appeared in front of him, he knew he could finally leave this hellish place.
Experiencing this here for so long gave him an indescribable understanding in his heart.
New thoughts on friendship.
He knew he would never come here again. He looked back at the desolate desert and thought of Baike who died here and the noble prince he met. Especially Sha Shengtian, where did he go?
Maybe he really went back.
If it is true as he said, we will meet again in the future, and I hope we will not be enemies in the future.
These messy thoughts flashed through Lu Lei's mind, and he immediately shook his head, intending to forget these sad things. But his friend's death remained etched in his mind.
His gaze changed from hesitant at first to firm.
Slowly raised his feet and stepped into the portal.
Suddenly, the familiar scenery appeared in front of him again. Dark and thick branches spread in front of him, and he couldn't help but make a crunching sound when his feet landed on them.
The familiar voice sounded again: "Welcome to you for passing the trial."
Lu Lei followed the sound and saw a person who looked exactly like him sitting on a branch and applauding happily.
This is the proctor all along.
"What powers can I get this time?"
Lu Lei didn't have any unnecessary expressions at the moment and went straight to the point.
There was a trace of disdain on the invigilator's face, but it quickly disappeared: "Although you passed the trial, it does not mean that you succeeded."
"What?"
Lu Lei suddenly felt dissatisfied: "I didn't succeed, how could I pass the trial?"
"Besides, you didn't say what the task of the trial was?"
When the invigilator heard Lu Lei's dissatisfaction, not only did he not show any anger on his face, but he smiled and said, "This is my fault! Your mission in this trial is to kill everything about monsters."
Lu Lei immediately retorted: "I did it! I even got my friends involved."
The invigilator's face was still full of smile: "Lu Lei, don't think that I don't know anything. I'll tell you the truth, the moment you entered the trial, you didn't have any friends."
"But Baike..."
"He is not your friend. Even if you don't save him, he will be eaten by monsters in the end. You just give him a different way to die."
This sentence immediately made Lu Lei speechless, but he quickly retorted: "He is already dead! The monster has been said to be dead a long time ago, why didn't I succeed?"
The smile on the invigilator's face gradually faded, and you could see his eyes filled with murderous intent: "Sha Shengtian!"
When the invigilator said this name, Lu Lei immediately became dissatisfied: "He is a human being, he is not a monster!"
However, he was interrupted by the invigilator: "He is a monster. He is a monster when he is born from a monster's body. But you let the monster go! Do you know what will happen in the future due to this decision you made?"
"What will happen? You may die!"
