Summoner: Recognize Kain as the big brother at the beginning

Yuxi echoed nervously, his heartbeat seeming to speed up with the dancing flames. He quietly watched how Kain put the mutton on the fire with ease, his skillful technique was admirable.

Kain did not delve into the source of Yuxi's knowledge of Kuangtie, nor did he dwell on whether he was from the Miracle Family.

The explanation that Yuxi had carefully woven was blown away by the breeze.

Perhaps sensing Yuxi's inner uneasiness, Kain asked softly, "What's wrong?" Yuxi tried to cover it up and replied lightly, "Nothing..." However, the confusion in his heart was hard to suppress after all, and he mustered up the courage to ask, "Brother, there is something I have always wanted to ask."

"You can say whatever you want." Kain's tone was calm and tolerant.

"Why would you help me?" Yuxi's voice was a little confused.

"Why do you have to teach me all these things?" There was a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Yuxi's heart was filled with ripples: "Why didn't I feel something was wrong at first? Kain seems to be very different from the image of the murderous demon in the King's background story."

"If he is Kai, it makes sense that he lost his memory." Yuxi thought to herself.

"But he is Cain now." This thought made him feel even more complicated.

However, Kain responded calmly: "Because I am just like you, I am unfamiliar with the place and have no one to rely on."

Yuxi frowned and expressed doubt about the answer: "This answer is too fake."

Kain chuckled and asked back, "Oh, really? Then what answer is not false?"

Yuxi pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke: "When people get along with each other, they all use each other and have their own needs. For example, I am not familiar with this place and my strength is too weak. If I leave you, I might die in a corner. So I can only follow you, you teach me things, and I will consider and listen to whatever you say. Because I can only rely on you."

Kain nodded in agreement: "You really like to tell the truth."

Yuxi frowned, feeling a little uneasy: "So, tell me the truth." At the same time, he was thinking: "You make me feel very nervous."

Kain fell into deep thought: "Hmm..."

There was an imperceptible sadness in Kain's eyes, and his words were slow and heavy: "The road to what I am pursuing is long and lonely."

"I have always been alone and have never met anyone like me."

“Time flies by, and the only thing I fear is that I will forget who I am.”

He paused for a moment, turned his gaze to Yuxi, and continued: "Therefore, having a partner by your side may not be a bad choice."

Yuxi was still confused: "What kind of answer is this?"

Kain said calmly: "I'm just saying it, I don't mean anything else."

"You are eager to survive, I am looking for a companion, we can rely on each other."

Yuxi responded softly: "Oh."

There was a hint of seriousness in Kain's eyes: "Remember my name, Kain."

"Maybe one day, I will lose this name."

Yuxi recalled the tragic fate of Cain in the King's background story, and her heart moved. She nodded solemnly: "I remember it."

As the two talked, the aroma of mutton filled the air. Just as they were about to taste it, Kain looked off into the distance: "Someone is coming."

Yuxi followed Cain's gaze and saw a woman in a red scarf stumbling towards them. She tried her best, but her speed was as slow as a snail.

When the woman ran up to the two men, she was already out of breath and could hardly speak: "Hello...you...please...please...can you...can you...give me a little...a little meat..." Her voice was weak and trembling.

Yuxi's heart was moved: "Is this another vampire apricot?"

The woman continued to beg: "Please... please... please be kind... I... I escaped from Jinting City..."

"I...I'm almost...starving to death..."

However, Yuxi responded coldly: "Get lost."

But Kain laughed: "Hahahahaha."

Yuxi said angrily, "Monster, can you stop pretending?"

“It’s the same trick every time!”

Affected by the previous vampire, Yuxi was obviously in a bad mood. He sneered and said, "Don't you demons have brains?"

The woman hurriedly explained: "What... I... I really... am not a demon..."

Yuxi became even angrier: "Why aren't you crying?"

The woman choked up and said, "I can't cry...I can't cry..."

"I haven't had water...for...a long time..." Before she could finish her words, she fainted.

Seeing the woman fall to the ground, Yuxi couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. He turned to Cain and asked anxiously, "Brother... is she... is she a human?"

Kain responded calmly: "If you want to save him, then save him."

Yuxi frowned and said, "It's not a question of whether you want to save her or not..."

"I just want to know if she is human?"

Kain nodded slightly: "So far, there are no flaws."

Yuxi took a deep breath, stood up and turned the woman over. He hurriedly pinched the woman's philtrum, trying to wake her up: "Hey, wake up..." he called softly.

The woman's lips were dry and cracked, with a thick layer of blood stains sticking to them. She felt pain from being pinched by Yuxi, and she slowly moved her lips: "Water... water..." She murmured weakly.

Yuxi was anxious: "Where can I find water for you..."

But Kain calmly suggested: "Give her some goat's blood."

Yuxi quickly did as she was told, cut the goat's carotid artery with a dagger, and fed the woman the blood. The woman seemed startled, but her instinct for survival made her swallow a mouthful of blood. However, she fainted again.

Yuxi sighed helplessly: "Alas."

Yuxi saw the woman faint again and had no time to care about anything else. After sharing the mutton with Kain, he left a portion for her, intending to enjoy it when she woke up.

Under the scorching sun, the air was heavy. Kain gently touched the woman's breath and asked softly, "Shall we go?"

Yuxi was silent for a moment, then replied, "Wait a little longer, until she wakes up."

Kain said calmly, "She won't wake up."

Yuxi's heart tightened: "What...?"

Yuxi finally came to his senses, untied the woman's scarf, and gently touched her slender carotid artery. Her skin was warm, but there was no life beating.

Yuxi felt a surge of regret in his heart: "What a bastard I am! I should have saved her earlier..." He tried to save her life through cardiopulmonary resuscitation, but to no avail.

"I thought you just fainted..." Yuxi murmured in a low voice, and then apologized again and again: "I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."

Kain said indifferently: "Why should you apologize?"

Yuxi fell into self-blame, pounding the ground in regret, tears welling up in his eyes. He tried to cast a healing spell, but found that it was ineffective for characters other than heroes, which made him furious.

Kain watched coldly and asked, "Is there any point in wasting time blaming yourself?"

Yuxi struggled in pain: "Shouldn't I blame myself? If I had given her first aid earlier, maybe I could have saved her..."

Kain sneered: "Even if you saved her for a while, what can it do? Isn't the experience of the past two days obvious enough? There are demons everywhere, can you save her forever?"

Yuxi painfully admitted: "I am too weak..." He longed to take the woman to a safe place, but he couldn't even guarantee his own safety.

Kain pointed out mercilessly: "You can't even take care of your own safety!"

Yuxi completely collapsed: "I am too weak..."

At Cain's urging, Yuxi finally pulled himself together. He waved Cain's hand away and walked forward alone. Although his heart was filled with anger and pain, he knew that he could not continue to sink. He had to become stronger to protect himself and the people around him.
