Beasts contend

You, will you do it?

Many images flashed in Fan Dong's mind, everyone he met in this era flashed in his mind.Every life and death, every death, seems to be related to this secret buried deep underground.Will he do it?Do you want to do something that you don't know if it can be done at the risk of being an enemy of everyone?

Fan Dong turned around and raised his head, his eyes were as clear as water.

The rock snake looked at Fan Dong, and its heart shrank inexplicably.Maybe it's because it hasn't seen human beings for too long, but it actually feels that Fan Dong's gaze is a bit burning, as if it will be burned if it looks at him for a while.

After staring at the Rock Snake for a long time, Fan Dong finally said, "I won't."

The rock snake's heart, which was originally full of expectation, was suddenly ignited with anger.It wanted to turn over, and used its tail to throw Fan Dong in front of it, but it couldn't move at all!

Fan Dong held the scroll in one hand, and pressed the rock snake's forehead with the other.

The rock wall was cold and slippery, and the bone-piercing chill came through the palm, enough for Fan Dong to feel the rock snake's mood at the moment.Sadness, anger, disappointment, even despair.This is to hold on to a vague expectation and endure day by day, until someone finally comes to it, and finally someone discovers the secret they guard, but this person said, he will not do it!

The entire underground city trembled slightly.

Fan Dong said warmly: "Actually, you also know that you can't do it alone, right?" No matter how cold his palm was, he didn't move away, using the temperature of his palm to soothe the restless rock snake.He stared at the Rock Snake, "It's such a difficult thing to do, you can't rely on a certain person at all. Can you tell me why you want to resurrect the twin tree?"

for what?For a generational mission?

The rock snake fell silent.Unwillingness and anger filled its heart, so that it has not thought about the meaning of resurrecting the twin tree for many years. It is not so much a mission as an obsession.Why on earth would it be revived?

What is the mission?

Who gave them a mission?

The underground of Boulder City became very quiet, and the silence was long and dignified.

Fan Dong said: "I have always believed that power should be conserved, whether it is spiritual power, mental power or anything else." His hand remained still and pressed in place, not caring the slightest bit of chill from his palm.He stared at the rock snake, "Even the life force of the twin trees cannot be without a source. So one tree blooms and the other dies, because half of the twin trees have to get energy from other places, right? The way is to enter from the passage of your other head, one head leads to life and the other head dies, that’s what it means.”

The rock snake opened its eyes, and looked at the little Fan Dong in front of him.For it, thinking is a very strange name, time has already eroded its thinking and memory, and it has forgotten many things.At this moment, facing a strange and young human being, it felt a familiar yet unfamiliar hotness in its body, and this hotness slowly spread from the place in its heart to its surroundings.

Finally, the scorching sensation reached Fan Dong's palm.

Fan Dong knew he was mistaken.

He said: "I will not make any promises easily. Before I figure out the meaning of resurrecting the Twin Tree, I can't be an enemy of everyone for this matter. I am not a god, nor a saint, I am just an ordinary Ryan , I have friends, teachers, relatives, steadfast followers, and loyal partners. At the same time, I am also the king of the Ryan Empire, and it is my responsibility to protect the empire, just like you guard the twin tree. Do you understand?"

The rock snake listened quietly to Fan Dong's speech.

Compared with those who promise without opening their mouths, Fan Dong's words give him peace of mind.Yes, it also knows that one person's power can't do anything at all. To revive the twin tree, at least one must have the complete scroll of beasts.And these scrolls are scattered all over the continent!

Fan Dong felt the warmth from his palm, and knew that the rock snake had accepted his statement.He said: "If this has to be done to protect the empire and the people I care about, I will definitely do it. But definitely not now. Right now I am too weak, the empire is too weak, and I understand There are too few things to come - so, for the time being, I can't do it."

The rock snake said "hmm", looking a little obedient.

Fan Dong thought of what Earl Hussain was thinking about, and asked by the way: "Do you remember a man named Arno Anthony? He is a young seventh-rank powerhouse who led people to stop Stonehenge decades ago. caused an earthquake."

earthquake?The term confused the rock snake, but it quickly took its meaning literally.The rock snake thought for a while and said, "Yes, he has been here."

Fan Dong said, "Then is he still here?"

Rock snake said: "Not here anymore." Seeing that Fan Dong was still looking at her, Rock snake continued to add, "He went to the other side."

Fan Dong's little heart skipped a beat.

the other side?

Could it be the abyss?

Fan Dong's question was conveyed to Rock Snake, and Rock Snake gave an affirmative answer: "Yes, Abyss."

Fan Dong ended the conversation with the Rock Snake.When he turned, he met Edward's and Earl Hussein's concerned eyes.The rock snake's answer left Fan Dong at a loss as to what to say. Should he tell Earl Hussein that Arnaud Anthony left the earthly world like Shen Ming and went to the abyss?

Without Shen Ming's special physique, Arnold Anthony might have abandoned his body like Shen Wuyan and entered the abyss in a state of undead!Well, Arno Anthony was not only dead to them, but also became their possible enemy.

Fan Dong hesitated for a long time, but still told him what the rock snake said, and handed a phantom stone taken from the rock snake to Earl Hussein.He said slowly, "This is the last image of him when he left."

Earl Hussain held the Phantom Stone, and instead of injecting spiritual power immediately, he put it away.

Fan Dong studied the scroll over and over for a while, then put it back in its original place.In his mind, the snow-white cover of Zhu Yongzhi's book had a patch of greenish fluorescence, and a looming silhouette appeared on it. It looked like two trees, one tall and one short, one in front of the other, with lush branches and leaves, verdant. .

Don't need to take it away, just need to touch it?Fan Dong sincerely said to Rock Snake: "Thank you for your persistence over the years. It will not be safer to keep this thing on my body than it is by your side. I will work hard for you in the future. I have a way to know the situation here in time. You Let me know in advance when you encounter a crisis, and I will send someone to help you."

The rock snake didn't speak, but slowly closed its eyes.

Fan Dong turned around and said to Edward and Earl Hussain, "Let's go, we're going out."

Earl Hussein turned his head and glanced at the rock snake integrated into the wall, strode forward, and left with Fan Dong and Edward.

The way back was not long, but the way back seemed so far away, far enough for Earl Hussein to complete a farewell after decades.

Goodbye my friend.If you have given up on us, then I will keep our common oath alone, even if we will fight each other one day in the future, I will not hesitate at all.

Because this is the home we once loved so much.

When Fan Dong and Edward left, Earl Hussain did not go to see them off.Instead, his nephew Meili sent them all the way outside the city, expressing that he would definitely go to the capital.

Edward: "..."

Earl Hussein returned to his residence, raised his hand, put it down again, clenched his fingers, and then let go.After sitting quietly for a long time, he finally injected spiritual power into the phantom stone.

After decades, that familiar figure appeared in front of him again.

Arno Anthony.

He was still young, still strong, exactly as he remembered.He killed the stone formation from the shadow of sword light and sword, and came to the rock snake.He turned his head to look at the black mist pouring towards him, his face full of sadness.

In the black mist, all the companions he brought were buried.

Arno Anthony whispered into the void, "Goodbye, Hussein. I'm sorry, I want to live."

After finishing speaking, Arnaud Anthony turned around and walked into the rock snake's black mouth without looking back.

That was not the rock snake they had seen today!

It was a black head, and the gaping mouth was also dark and terrifying. Only a pair of bright red eyes shone with terrifying light in the black mist.

Arno Anthony, really went to the abyss.
