[Hunter Doujin] Journey

In the sky above the scorching sun, a piece of land covered by yellow sand is located far away from the city.

"—Wow!" Xiaojie looked at everything in front of him excitedly.

Hard gravel scattered around, accompanied by a gust of wind——

'--call. 'The unique wind in the desert whips up a whole heat wave, and the golden flying sand flickers in the sun, like broken glass gradually integrating the images of the past, revealing the magnificence of the past bit by bit.

"This must have been an amazing place before." Ed sighed and picked up his camera to take pictures.

Xiaojie jumped up and jumped onto the tallest pillar among several erected boulders.

This is a group of ruins sitting in the desert, and there are many well-preserved buildings, but there seem to be many animals that have never been seen around the buildings.

"The Parfit ruins are really amazing!" Xiaojie closed his eyes and felt all this with open arms, the heat wave and the harsh sun.

"I'll send you here, and I don't care whether you live or die." Annie stood next to Ed and looked at the tall Xiaojie, before she finished speaking and was about to leave.

"Thank you, Annie." Xiaojie waved vigorously at Annie who was leaving.

"..." Without expressing too much, Annie glanced at Xiaojie and left.

"In such a place, even if I die here, it's not too bad." [As long as the death is not so miserable. ] Ed looked around with a satisfied smile on his face.

"What are you talking about, Ed." Xiaojie jumped down from a height, his black hair was shining in the sun, but the most attractive thing was his clear and discerning eyes.

"You will survive with me, and then write the best adventure story." Xiaojie stretched out his little finger to Ed, "We promise."

Pull hook?It seems to be something that I only did when I was a child more than ten years ago.

But Ed couldn't help but hook up with Xiaojie.

"In the end, you have to stamp thumb to thumb."

Jay and Ed both had big smiles when their thumbs met.

Even though the outer wall of the majestic building has been damaged a lot, the bluestone walls are still scattered around here.

"Ed, you have to follow me closely." The two looked relaxed at first, but after stepping into the ruins, the atmosphere became tense.

Xiaojie walked in front of Ed, looking around vigilantly, holding a newly bought fishing rod in his hand.

"...Okay." Ed also looked around nervously, his weapon was just a short knife.

"Something is coming." Xiaojie's keen intuition told him that he and Ed were being targeted by something.

Hearing Xiaojie say that, Ed's legs trembled a little.

[No, I can’t be so weak, I’ve lived half my life to be more scared than a child, how can this be possible. ]

"?" Feeling the tight back behind him, Xiaojie looked behind him out of the corner of his eye.

"At this time, let's fight side by side. Of course, I'm not as good as you, but leave the things behind it to me."

"Then I'll leave it to you, Ed."

"..." The corners of Ed's mouth raised involuntarily, but cold sweat dripped from his forehead, and he was very nervous.

A rush of wind came from one side of the two, and in a flash, Ed felt his body slam into one side.

"—Pfft!" A mouthful of blood spat out from Ed's mouth, and the figure behind him was knocked to nowhere.

"Xiaojie!" When Ed saw Xiaojie's figure, he saw a terrifying huge lion pressing his paws on Xiaojie's body. To be precise, it was a lion with three heads, and his body was strange. have black wings.

Xiaojie fell to the ground, and the fishing rod inserted obliquely into the lion's mouth had already been bitten off by the lion.

"..." A sense of fear rose from the soles of his feet, and the knife in Ed's hand unconsciously let go and fell to the ground.Facing the impact of death and great danger makes it difficult for him to act.

The fearsome lion head opened its terrifying mouth, and with a roar, it bit Xiaojie's head.

With a sound of 'touch', Xiaojie kicked the lion's cock, and at the same time, the biting mouth closed with the pain in his lower body.

"I won't be eaten by you." Taking advantage of the pain of the other party, Xiaojie grabbed the broken fishing rod in his hand "——ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" He stabbed the fishing rod into the eye of one of the lions, and red blood splashed in the air.

"—Roar!" The ear-splitting lion's roar resounded through the sky, and Xiaojie pushed his hands to the ground forcefully, turned his legs around, and clasped the lion's waist tightly with his back to the lion.

With the sweat dripping off his face, the stone bricks with a little yellow sand were reflected in those serious eyes.

Then clenched her teeth, Xiaojie once again supported the ground with both hands, the distance between her body and the ground gradually opened, and her whole body began to twist.

"—Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" together with the lion she was clasping, they turned 180 degrees in the air together.

'boom! ' With a bang, the lion fell to the ground on his back.

Xiaojie rushed forward quickly. When she flipped in the air, she pulled out the fishing rod stuck in the lion's eye. There was almost no pause when her feet landed. She simply pointed the fishing rod at the lion's head on the left. From the ear all the way through to the inside.

The original feeling of despair, after seeing the reversal of the situation in front of him, Ed was stunned.His mind went blank, and he just stared blankly at what happened in front of him.

"There is one more." Xiaojie pulled out the fishing rod and walked towards the last lion head that was looking at it in horror. "Don't worry, it won't hurt soon." Accompanied by this scene, all the colors in the world are only black and white in an instant. With a 'poof', the black shadow that was still shaking stopped struggling, and the thing on the ground stopped struggling. A pole is inserted.

Xiaojie looked very calm, without the joy of victory after the battle or pity for the enemy.

"I didn't expect the fishing rod to break as soon as it came up."

She pulled out the broken fishing rod and walked towards Ed, and then the girl, or boy, who smelled a little blood all over her body, stretched out her hand towards Ed.

"Are you okay, Ed."

From Ed's point of view, he didn't listen to what Xiaojie said.

"Can you still stand up?"

In addition to being shocked, there is only a blank in my heart.

[Why is this child so calm? ]

"Ed?" Xiaojie squatted down and looked at Ed.

"Ah! What's the matter?" At this moment Ed seemed to have just come to his senses.

"I said, are you okay (ーoー), I am worried about you (ー_ー)."

After being pulled up by Xiaojie, Ed looked at Xiaojie with some fear, and then asked the question in his heart, "Why...you can fight that monster so calmly?"

"Ok?"

After swallowing a few times, Ed still couldn't calmly look at the monster on the ground.The scene just now has far exceeded the worst scene he had originally imagined.

"Aren't you unable to use Nian anymore? Why are you still so calm and calm in the face of such a monster?"

Looking at Ed who was a little scared at the side, although Xiaojie was puzzled, he still said truthfully:

"Because I'm not going to die. I said I wouldn't, so of course there's no reason to be afraid."

"What kind of psychological hint is this, you are so strange."

If he hadn't seen that kind of monster before, Ed might still enter this ancient ruins with Xiaojie.But after seeing the scene just now, he realized that he was too naive.

He is really an ordinary person, how could such a self... how could he step into such a world?This is not an experience that ordinary people can have, it is absolutely never going back...

Xiaojie walked past Ed and helped him pick up the knife that fell on the ground.Ed couldn't see the expression of Xiaojie, whose back was turned to him, at the moment.

"I have been living on Whale Island with Aunt Mitt and the others. It is a small island with many wild animals. It is very beautiful."

Xiaojie turned around and looked at Ed, his expression was still as relaxed as before: "But it's also very harsh."

She used such an expression to say such words.

"As long as I'm stronger than them, I won't die. So I'm not afraid. Besides, if I'm not strong enough, I'll be eliminated. There's nothing to complain about." Handing the knife to Mr. Ed, Xiaojie continued:

"If Mr. Aide was afraid of death, he would not have chosen to come with me in the first place."

"But I didn't expect it to be that kind of monster..." Ed still trembled.

"Hey, do you want to go back then?"

"I..." Ed's legs were still trembling.But Xiaojie just looked at him innocently. "I don't know either……"

"If I want to go back, I have to return your book to you first. After all, I don't know how long I will stay here."

[I have a hunch that if I go there with you, if I am with you, I will definitely write some different stories. 】

[If you encounter any dangers and difficulties on the road, you can leave me at any time. After all, there is no need to protect me. This is also difficult for my strongman. 】

What I said to Xiaojie in the hotel before came to my ears again, but now it has become such a slap in the face.

"I...I'm going! I want to go with you." [I've lived for so long, isn't it enough?Are you going to flee in such an embarrassing battle? ]

"Really, then let's go look around the temple now, Rodel's herbs should be grown outside the temple." Xiaojie pointed in one of the directions.

"Since Annie said that she grew up in a damp and dark place, it might be in the palace." Ed collected his mood and walked quickly to Xiaojie's side.

"Look at this pattern, this flower looks strange enough." Xiaojie took out the portrait of 'Rodel's Herb' given to her by Anne in his hand.It was an oval with an X pattern recessed in it.

"But it's so unique, you should be able to recognize it at a glance when the time comes—" Before Ed could finish his sentence, Xiaojie stuffed the picture scroll in his hand.

She rushed out again, and with the speed of rushing out, the pole in her hand was also thrown out, and a strange scream made Ed subconsciously grasp the knife in his hand.

Xiaojie jumped up, and kicked something away with a roundabout kick with his body in the air.With the sound of things falling, Xiaojie easily landed on both feet.

"There are things here and there that I haven't seen before." After the battle, Xiaojie looked at the creatures on the ground curiously.

"A bat's wing, a shark's head? What kind of freak is this?" Ed also approached, and then took out his camera to take pictures of the corpse.

"Here is the head of a lizard and the body of an octopus." Xiaojie withdrew his curious gaze, and then focused on the ground around him.

"There doesn't seem to be that kind of tweed around here. We have to move on. It won't be good if the smell of blood attracts other creatures."

"Ah, is that right? Then let's go!" Ed, who wanted to take a few more photos of the corpse, immediately took back the camera.

"The creatures I saw from a high place just now, and the smell I smell now... there are very dangerous things on the right, let's go to the left."

[Smell? ]

Although he had some doubts in his heart, Ed still followed behind Xiaojie.

And on the way this day, they encountered many unknown creatures many times, but Xiaojie knocked them down, so it was safe and sound.

Only Ed was injured.

He was in danger once, because Xiaojie was fighting with two horse-like and human-faced creatures, and when he was alone facing a human-sized mouse, he was scratched and bruised by the mouse, and his shoulder was bitten off took a piece of meat.

"Are you okay?" After asking Xiaojie to bandage himself, Xiaojie looked at Ed worriedly.

"I'm fine, don't worry about me." Ed was still in shock, but he quickly took out the book in his bag while taking a break, and began to write the prologue of the story for the adventure so far.

Seeing Ed on the side seems to be very focused on writing something, Xiaojie didn't bother him, but when the sunset in the distance ended, Xiaojie's expression became very happy.

"Ah, it's the sunset."

[I really want Chi Ya to see it too. ]

Thinking of this, Xiaojie took out his mobile phone and took a picture of the distant scene.

In the picture, the scorching red sun dyes most of the world red, while the blooming lavender brings Liao Xing down.

The mist in the distance is combined with the yellow sand grains, as if the luster has been diluted from deep to shallow by the long river of time.

And those buildings with different levels, the walls built of bluestone, and the roads paved with stone bricks, with a unique sense of the times, were dyed golden by the sky.

【Xiaojie: It's so beautiful, I want Qi Ya to see it too. 】

Xiaojie sent this photo to Qi Ya, and soon she received Qi Ya's reply.

【Qi Ya: Where is this? 】

After some thought, Xiaojie replied to Qiya:

[Xiaojie: Hey, this is the city of fantasy! 】

Ever since she received a text message from Qi Ya asking her to tell him after the whole thing was over, she was not worried that Qi Ya would come to find her or interrupt the trip.

[Qi Ya: City of Phantom?You have run far enough. 】

【Xiaojie: Where is Qi Ya now? 】

[Qi Ya: Me? 】

The scene shifted to another country, and Qiya was sitting with his sister in a restaurant with a lot of people at the moment, and there were a few boys who didn't look much older than them sitting opposite them.

[Qi Ya: I'm in Del City. 】

After thinking about it, Qi Ya added.

[Qi Ya: Alluka and I met new friends here, and also experienced a lot of interesting things. 】

【Qi Ya: I will introduce them to you after your affairs are over. 】

【Xiaojie: Good!I will also introduce the friends I met here to Qi Ya. 】

"Brother is sending text messages again, you have to eat well, and you didn't participate in everyone's chat." Alluka naturally knew who Qi Ya was texting, so she added, "After our trip is over, do you still want to talk to me?" Will meet again."

"Ah, I see, well, what did you guys talk about just now?"

"Actually, we were just talking about—"
