He felt his feet go weak and he staggered into the pit. He finally crawled to Zero's side, and with trembling hands, he stretched out a finger...

There is breathing and there is breathing.

Tears began to fall, he picked up Zero, buried his face in his brother's neck, took a deep breath of the scent that made him feel at ease, and held him tightly in his arms.

Tightly.

Meiqiu was clinging to Li Xingchen's shoulder, and a trace of spiritual power quietly flowed over from his round body.

"cough……"

The person being held tightly in the arms coughed lightly.

Li Xingchen seemed to be awakened by the light cough, and hurriedly loosened his arms a little, fearing that he was holding Zero too tightly and making him uncomfortable.

With a trembling voice, he asked, "Brother, how are you? Where does it hurt?"

Zero opened his eyes slightly, his eyes still a little blurry. The images that Coal Ball saw during his coma replayed in his mind.

When I looked up and saw Li Xingchen with snot and tears all over his face, a warm feeling surged in my heart.

His body was shaken, and his voice was weak. "You, are crying?"

The little thing has stopped crying since he was old enough to understand. It seems that he was scared.

Li Xingchen grinned, looking as ugly as it could be, "This is tears of joy!"

Zero also smiled, his eyes were gentle and the corners of his lips were slightly raised.

He tried to wipe Li Xingchen's tears... but he didn't have the strength to move.

So he gave up and leaned in Li Xingchen's arms, gently closed his eyes, and circulated the spiritual power in his body, quickly calming the energy running around in his body.

When Ren Jianfei quickly arrived at the coordinate point, Zero's clone immediately sensed his presence and quietly slipped out from the side.

When the clone turned into black particles and merged into Zero's body, he finally had the strength to stand up on his own.

Li Xingchen was still holding Zero tightly, worriedly, as if Zero would fall down again if he let go.

Li Xingchen's eyes were filled with concern and worry. He looked Zero up and down, his voice still a little scared. "Brother, are you really okay? Are you feeling unwell?"

Zero gently stroked the back of Li Xingchen's hand, comforting him, "It's okay, just practice for two days and you'll be fine."

Li Xingchen felt the warmth on the back of his hand, and his heart also felt warm. He turned his back and squatted on the ground.

"Brother, come up, I'll carry you."

Zero looked at the squatting person, a rare blush appearing on his face, "I'm fine, I can walk."

Li Xingchen stood up, took Zero's hands and carried him on his back, "Brother, let me carry you. You carried me when we were little."

Zero was actually fine, but Li Xingchen was probably really scared and insisted on carrying him.

Half-heartedly, he fell on Li Xingchen's back.

Zero felt the back which was stronger than he had imagined, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: the child Yiyi Yaya who was holding the bottle and sucking milk seemed to have grown up.

Li Xingchen carried Zero on his back and walked steadily step by step.

"Brother, you scared me to death just now. I thought... Fortunately you were okay..."

There was a touch of attachment in Li Xingchen's voice. If something really happened to his brother, he would probably go crazy.

Fortunately, my brother is fine.

Zero gently put his arms around Li Xingchen's neck. From his direction, he could see Li Xingchen's eyelashes trembling slightly as he said this.

He raised the corner of his mouth slightly, took out a hand and rubbed Li Xingchen's head.

"It's me who made Xingchen worry."

Li Xingchen shook his head.

"Brother, I know you could have avoided it. You did it to protect me."

Zero didn't say anything. That was exactly what happened just now. He wasn't very good at comforting people, nor was he good at lying.

The people behind him didn't say anything, so Li Xingchen knew he was right. He sighed and continued,

"Brother, promise me that next time you encounter this situation, you will just run for your life and don't worry about me. If you leave, I will definitely follow you, so that the two of us can avoid it."

The person on his back was silent for a while, and then a cold voice sounded.

"Why didn't you leave first? I could dodge with peace of mind only after you were safe."

"..."

Li Xingchen was speechless for a moment.

Yes, he actually wanted to pull Zero just now, so he missed the best opportunity to dodge, forcing Zero to take the attack.

If I dodge first, my brother will have nothing to worry about. With his speed, he will probably be able to avoid it.

It's true that caring too much makes you confused.

Li Xingchen felt an indescribable sweetness in his heart. After a long silence, he said,

"Brother, let's agree that if this happens again, no matter if it's you or me, we must first ensure our own safety, okay?"

"Ah."

"I will practice hard."

"Ah."

"elder brother,"

"Ok?"

"You have to stay with me all the time."

"Ah."

……

The afterglow of the setting sun stretched the overlapping figures of the two young men very long...

After Ren Jianfei arrived at the coordinate location, he went to check on the children first.

When he found that the children were still alive, he was delighted and quickly picked them up and checked their bodies one by one.

"These kids are like they're on drugs."

He immediately notified the local supernatural law enforcement team.

When the law enforcement team arrived with medical personnel, the children quickly regained consciousness. Apart from being a little frightened, they were not seriously injured.

Ren Jianfei breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, he remembered Li Xingchen and Zero and quickly sent a message to them.

"Where are you guys? The kids are fine."

The law enforcement team took the children away from the place and prepared to send them back to their respective homes after inspection.

Li Xingchen's message came back quickly.

"Hunting! A room costs 180, and we don't even have money to eat!"

Ren Jianfei looked at Li Xingchen's reply and felt a little amused.

He knew that the year Li Xingchen entered the school, a spirit beast was sold for 980,000.

Li Xingchen is out of money?!

He shook his head helplessly and quickly replied, "Come back quickly. The elementary school team completed their mission very well this time. We can take an early vacation and I'll treat you to dinner."

After a while, Li Xingchen and Zero appeared in Ren Jianfei's sight.

Li Xingchen was also holding a low-level high-level magical beast in his hand.

Li Xingchen, who had just entered the restaurant, carried the low-level monster to the cashier's counter and asked, "Excuse me, uncle, is your boss here? Do you want to take this monster?"

The middle-aged man in the counter poked his head out to take a look. This was rare good meat, so he immediately came out from the back.

"Take it, little brother, how much do you want to sell it for?"

Li Xingchen was delighted. He fought the monster because Ren Jianfei said he would treat him to a meal.

I was a little worried that the store owner might not want it, but I didn't expect them to be so straightforward in accepting it.

After a quick thought, he spoke cautiously, "Uncle, I'm not too sure about the market, but you can give me what you want. If the price is right, if you want other monsters, my brother and I can help you hunt them."
