Edge of the Emerald Star

A...wooden box.

"Let me out!" The wooden box kept making noises, without stopping all the way.

Xinghua was accompanied by Little Taidao, there were only the two of them in the box, Xiande was a bit deserted, on the contrary, the scene in the opposite box was completely different, just opposite Xinghua and Little Taidao.

The Org and their new hounds gathered at the Lightsill Corridor, the traffic hub of the Blackwater Passage.

The gorgeous all-white hall, the white arch columns support the entire building column, and the emerald green sky track is beside the corridor, which is a special anti-gravity magnet on the emerald star, which can drive the "light sill train" to travel at a speed close to the speed of sound , and the station for boarding is also called "light threshold corridor".

On the light-sill train, the same section of the train has two boxes, and one box can only be used by one Org, which provides sufficient space for noble Orgs to move around and house their livestock.

When Xinghua came by the Guangshen train, he came alone, and he was the only Org in the huge box, but now he has an extra companion.

"Be good and take a rest. It will take a little time to get from Heishuidao to the next city." Xinghua comforted him. He was sitting comfortably in his seat, accompanied by

Although an Org only uses one box, in order to allow the Orgs to communicate conveniently, there is no intentional barrier between the box and the box, only the two sides of the car have to be separated by hanging curtains.

──It's really a narrow road.

This is what Xinghua and Qinghui were thinking when they boarded the same train and faced each other's compartments.

Qinghui was accompanied by some pets, most of them were toy dogs, and the newly adopted Ron was also there.

Qinghui's pets are not only these, there should be some placed in the last compartment, but the toy dogs accompanying him now are enough to be lively.

In contrast, Xinghua really only had a wooden box and the hunting dog inside.

Xinghua looked at Qinghui who was facing him, Qinghui was stroking his toy dog ​​and smiling at him, then stood up abruptly.

If possible, Xinghua hoped that the other party didn't want to come to communicate with him, but it always backfired, that Org moved a large number of his pets to the box where they were.

Sure enough, should we let down the barrier veil from the very beginning?While Xinghua was thinking this way, there was a huge sound of bumping and bumping echoing in the whole box, and the little sword made trouble again.

"Give me back the knife! And let me out!" It was put in a very strong box, but the little Taidao was still able to knock on the wooden box.

"But if you let me out, you'll beat me up, right?" Xinghua ignored Qing Hui who invaded the house, and tapped on the wooden box.

"..."

"In this case, it's better not to."

"Hey! You nasty fellow!"

Qing Hui, who had just stepped into Xinghua's box, heard the conversation between the two main pets, and really didn't know what to say.The hound actually called its owner "Hello" and kept cursing, this is no longer something that can be solved with a lesson.Generally speaking, Org should directly execute the hound because of his rudeness, but at this moment, Xinghua is still calm, and even finds it very funny.

Qinghui couldn't understand Xinghua's thoughts.

"Master Xinghua, I advise you not to use such a hunting dog. It is best to send back a problem hunting dog with low obedience and poor attitude, otherwise it will be a problem sooner or later—please don't forget the lessons of history." Qing Hui Shen Voice.

Facing Qinghui's questioning, Xinghua still had the same attitude as before, smiling faintly, not knowing what he was thinking.

"I will teach him well." Xinghua said.

"Teach what? Let your grandpa teach you!" There was another scolding sound from the wooden box, accompanied by knocking.

"Can you teach such a hound?" Qinghui snorted disdainfully, thinking that Xinghua was stubborn and weird.He hooked his fingers at Ron, and Ron immediately crawled beside him, with a low profile but the elegance of a hound. "A hound like Ron is an excellent hound. It doesn't lose face when you bring it with you. It's strong and easy to use. Compared with that wild dog, it's more suitable for you, right? A companion from a cutting-edge city..."

Xinghua looked at Qinghui and thought for a few seconds.

"really……"

"So I said..."

"However, in terms of toughness, I think Kodachi is better than Ron." Moreover, he prefers Kodachi's character to Ron's.Xinghua touched the box like a child getting a new toy.

"Ron is the best of the hounds!"

"However, according to my observation, Kodachi's speed and strength are higher than Ron's."

"You're just a wild dog! You can't even be called a hunting dog!" Qinghui became a little annoyed, the mouthparts of his ear buds burst slightly, showing his impatience, and scared even the toy dogs beside him flinched.

Xinghua looked calm.

"Your Excellency Qinghui can say whatever you want, but I won't send back the hounds that have already been contracted." Xinghua smiled, as if Qinghui was meddling in his own business.

Qinghui stopped talking, but his heart was still full of unhappiness.

The hound Ron is full of vigilance against Xinghua because of the guardian. They have been taught this way since they were young, and the master is everything.But seeing Ron staring at Xinghua like this, Qinghui was not happy, instead he gave Ron a cold look, and then ordered him to back down.

It's not that Qinghui is dissatisfied with Ron's mentality of protecting the Lord, but that human beings are simply not worthy of staring at Org with such eyes-even if he hates it.

"up to you!"

In the end, Qinghui returned to his box resentfully, and stopped talking to Xinghua during the period.

The light-sill train travels on the wasteland, and there is nothing in the world outside the glass window.

The world at the southern end of Emerald Star has few green plants and poor climate. It is completely different from the situation at the northern end. It is more suitable for the growth of insects, so the number of insects at the southern end is far more than that at the northern end.

The black moist soil stretches with no end in sight, and the sky looks brownish-yellow like it has been dyed by tea. The two monotonous colors look like the colors of the end of the world.

The sky at the southern end is always unpleasant.

Xinghua looked out the window quietly, the inside of the carriage was very quiet... very quiet.

Xinghua turned his head, only to find that the hound in the wooden box had been quiet for a long time after Qinghui and Ron came in and said those words──

what happened?Xinghua stared at the wooden box, but he couldn't see what the people inside were doing from the outside. He tilted his head, and couldn't help stretching out his hand to pull the iron chain connected to the box.

"Little Taidao?"

After a while, there was a slight voice in the room: "Can you let me out?"

"But let you out and you will..."

"I won't. You see, I have been very good until now. As long as you let me out, I promise I will be as quiet as before."

Xinghua felt very strange about Xiao Tai Dao's sudden change of sex, but the other party asked so quietly...

Squinting his eyes, Xinghua quietly put away the two swords he had been keeping for Xiao Taidao, and then asked: "You promise you will be good?"

"meeting!"

"All right……"

The special wooden box was locked with a code, and Xinghua unlocked it smoothly. Just when the wooden box door showed signs of being loose, the next second, it was kicked away fiercely.

What he did was different from what he said. As soon as he was released, the hound who had just promised to be good rushed out, grabbed the wooden box door that he had kicked away, and before everyone could react, At the same time, it smashed towards Ron who was facing him.

The wooden board was flying towards him, Ron was only stunned for half a second, and under the screams of the other toy dogs, he drew out his two knives and chopped the wooden board directly.But the wooden boards were just broken by him, and when he raised his eyes, Kotachi ran towards him who was facing the box with a wild smile, without any weapons, bent his knees and jumped and was about to give him a flying kick.

──It's too late to hide!

Ron could only protect his face with his hands, but he heard the clang of the chain, accompanied by the muffled sound of the hound, and then the sound of his flesh falling heavily to the ground.

Ron missed the kick, and it was the kicker who fell to the ground.

"Cough!" Kodachi blushed, and his fingers were grabbing the collar around his neck.

At the other end of the collar, the iron chain was stretched straight, and it was not long enough. The little Taidao rushed to Ron, but the flying kick from the small Taidao just now caused him to be strangled to death.

As soon as they were in shock, all the people on Qinghui's side looked at Org who grabbed the katana just in time... It can't be said that he pulled it in time, but Xinghua just happened to be holding the katana's chain.

"Lord Xinghua! What are you doing? You released the hounds to attack me?" Qing Hui raised his voice displeased, and the pups stood next to their master, trembling with fright.

"Sorry, but you misunderstood, it's not like this." Xinghua shook his head, and it was not clear whether he really apologized sincerely.

"Then what's the matter with the hound?"

Qinghui pointed to the little Taidao who was about to get up on the ground.

Xinghua sighed, and looked helplessly at Xiao Taidao: "Didn't you promise to me that you would be good when you come out? I let you come out."

"Can you guarantee that this kind of thing can be eaten? Idiot! Of course I lied to you, I just want to come out and beat people!" Xiao Taidao patted his body while trying to untie the collar on his neck: "You said it yourself next time. If there is a chance to beat that guy Ron, this time will be the next time!"

Xinghua was speechless. It seemed that Xiao Taidao had been figuring out evil ideas since he heard that Ron was also present.

"Don't mess around, come back and sit down obediently." Xinghua persuaded softly.

But of course Kodachi didn't appreciate it.

"Do you really think I'll listen to you? It's a good idea! This guy took advantage of the danger and kicked me. I always have revenge."

"Xiao Taidao! Don't embarrass our hounds, do you really want to fight in front of the masters?" Ron kept the sword in his hand, staring at Xiao Taidao warily.

Although there is no weapon around Kodachi at the moment, it is much easier to deal with it, but without the consent of the owner of Kodachi, it is impossible for Ron to really attack Kodachi.

"What hound and what master! Do you really think you are a dog? Okay...then let me teach you a good lesson!"

"Little Taidao!"

Hearing Xiaodachi's speech, Qinghui frowned. A domestic animal that didn't know his hound identity was too dangerous. He didn't understand why Xinghua insisted on having him?

There was a cold murderous intent in the emerald green pupils, and Qinghui had made a plan. If Xiaodachi really wanted to rush over, he would let Ron execute the opponent directly, no matter whether Xinghua wanted to stop it or not.

"I'm going to beat you until you can't even recognize yourself!" Xiao Taidao clenched his fists and roughly untied the dog chain around his neck, but... no matter how he untied it, the collar was tightly wrapped.

Several minutes passed.

"Hey! You should take off the collar!" Kodachi turned his head and finally started to lose his temper with Xinghua.

Xinghua looked left and right: "But I forgot where I put the key."

"How could I forget!"

"I really forgot..." Xinghua smiled innocently, "Let's do this! Let's look for it after we get home, and then we can solve it for you, okay?"

"Well, that's the only way to go..." Xiaodachi spread his hands, and then became even angrier: "You idiot! Do you think I will really say that?"

"Little Taidao──"

"Give back the chain if you can't find the key! Don't pull me!"

Xiao Taidao's eyes sharpened, he grabbed the iron chain and tried to pull it back, but when he pulled hard, the iron chain was only stretched to the limit, and he couldn't pull it back no matter what.

Xinghua held the iron chain, his style of writing remained still, and he didn't intend to let go.

"You bastard..." Xiao Taidao gritted his teeth and smiled angrily.

"The train is still moving, it's better to be safe, otherwise what should I do if it overturns?"

"I don't care if it overturns or not! I warn you, if you don't let go, I will beat you first!"

"Hit me?" Xinghua suddenly laughed.

"Yes! I want to beat you! First pick off the flower on your head and step on it, and then beat your beautiful face! Ah yes! I will break your finger!" Bearing grudges deeply, Xiao Dao said threateningly, The pace really started to move towards Xinghua.

The main pet quarreled, and Qing Hui and Ron, who were originally involved in the incident, froze in place, unable to intervene for a while.

"But we have a contract."

"What kind of shit contract, will that stop me from beating you up?"

"..."

"I'll give you another five seconds, five, four..."

Xinghua tightened the chain instead.

"One!" Shortly skipping two seconds, Xiaodachi rushed towards the opponent.

The hound was about to beat up its master with its fists up, Qinghui was shocked, but Xinghua himself was very calm.At the moment when he was pulling the iron chain and thinking about how to deal with Kodachi, all the lights in the train suddenly went dark and the train braked urgently.

Sitting and squatting Qinghui and Ron were barely able to stabilize their bodies, not to mention the running Kodachi, who directly hit the rear of the car with Xinghua.

Xinghua hugged the little Taidao that hit him, and the two fell to the ground.

"What's going on?" The terrified cries of the play dogs sounded in the carriage.

The Orgs in the carriages looked out of the window one after another. It is rare for the light threshold train to stop suddenly. There are only a few possibilities, and the worst thing among them is that they encountered a threatening pest. .

Xinghua looked out, not far away, there seemed to be something moving in the soil, attacking them.

"Fuck!" The little Taidao in his arms was very restless as soon as he realized it, he struggled to get up, and punched Xinghua in the face.

Xinghua quickly dodged a punch, he pulled the collar around Xiao Taidao's neck, pulled him back into his arms, and pulled him into his arms.

Kodachi was firmly fixed, he struggled, but heard the Org who was holding him whisper softly: "Little Taidao, now is not the time for you to mess around, look out the window."

Hearing this, Kodachi turned his head and looked out of the window. There was something in the soil, and he was very familiar with the wriggling posture.

"It's a bug!" came the woman's scream.

"Orgs, please don't panic. The train has been blocked by maggots, so it is temporarily stopped. CPT is trying to find a way..." At this time, there was a broadcast in the train, but the broadcast was only halfway through, and it was replaced by a huge The noise came, and then the buzzing sounded, and the broadcast was cut off.

At the same time, the train began to shake violently, flipped sideways, and something wrapped around the entire body of the train.The black body was accompanied by thousands of black tentacles, and the huge worm crawled through the window.

The carriage was in chaos, the toy dogs were climbing around, and even the Orgs fell into a mess. It was only when the escape hatch doors opened from the side of the carriage with a sizzle that everyone escaped in one direction.

"Ron!" Chi yelled back, and the hound Ron immediately opened the way for the owner and led the owner to escape.

As for Xinghua and Kodachi...

Seeing that the escape hatch door opened, the little Taidao looked around, and just in time, the two Taidaos hidden by Xinghua fell out because of the shaking just now.

Little Dao raised his head, and he smiled at Xinghua.

Before Xinghua could react, he snatched his sword very quickly, and slashed between the two of them with his hands raised.

With a clang, the iron chain in Xinghua's hand broke.

"Little Taidao..." Xinghua raised his head, his hunting dog had already got up, and climbed up the escape hatch neatly, and finally just glanced at him, and fled.

Xinghua held the broken iron chain in his hand, and finally sighed softly.

Kodachi jumped off the car that was nearly one floor high, and when he turned around, what was entangled on the train was a huge black hook like a centipede.

The black hook is the adult of the white hook. The black and shiny shell is as hard as iron, and the tentacles are thicker and more numerous than the white hook.

As far as Xiaodachi's actual combat experience is concerned, he has only dealt with black hooks a few times so far, and because black hooks usually need to be hunted by hounds collectively, he usually only watches from the side, and the number of times he has actually shot is almost zero.

"I don't want to go into this muddy water with you!" hummed, Xiao Taidao planned to run away, the farther the better.After finally having the opportunity to leave that ghost training center without being confiscated, he wanted to go outside to have a look.

As for the Org named Xinghua... Xiao Taidao glanced at the pattern on his right shoulder.Gritting his teeth, his eyes were full of anger.

One day—one day he will come back and find a chance to teach that Org a lesson!

After making a decision, Kodachi was about to run away, when the guy who was thinking about revenge called him to stop him.

"Xiao Taidao..." Hearing that overly gentle voice, Xiao Taidao felt goose bumps all over his body.

Xinghua didn't know when he ran out of the carriage.

Little Taidao clenched his swords and turned back, his whole body was full of alertness. The hostility in his eyes made Xinghua understand very clearly that as long as he took a step closer, the other party would rush up and use the Taidao to chop him into pieces .

"Where do you want to go?" Xinghua asked with a smile.

"none of your business!"

"The [-] kilometers after here are deserts like this side, and there are many bugs. If you run around, your life will be lost."

"I can figure it out myself!" Kodachi thinks that he can survive on his own, no matter what kind of environment he is in.

While the two were talking, the black hook behind them began to move again, rolling up the entire train and crushing it to pieces.Not far away, several black hooks sprang out.

They came wriggling, looking very interested in the flesh and blood of the Orgs.

Several Orgs have ordered their hounds to go forward to deal with the black hook. In order to protect their masters, the hounds of different owners have gathered into a small group to hunt down the huge black hook collectively.

And Xinghua and Xiaodachi are still facing each other in the corner.

"Xiaodachi...we have already signed a contract."

"So what? It's just an ugly pattern on the shoulder!"

"You run away, don't you worry about what will happen?"

"How else?"

Xinghua just smiled without saying a word.

The little Taidao spat, and he put away the two Taidaos: "Before worrying about me, you should worry about yourself first!" He looked at the black hook wrapped around the train behind Xinghua. Xinghua is ready to move.

Due to the abnormally large number of black hooks, the other hounds and Orgs were too busy to deal with it, and no one had time to help Xinghua.

Based on the current situation, it seems that without him personally teaching Xinghua, Xinghua will get a good lesson.Xiao Taidao laughed, and when the black hook attacked Xinghua, he turned his head and left.

However, Kodachi had only run a few steps, and a strange feeling of something was wrong, and his neck was covered with goose bumps.

The sound of the black hook behind him moved, Xiao Taidao turned his head reflexively, and saw Xinghua still looking at him with a smile, and the black hook behind him swooped down, and the sharp teeth on his mouth grazed his shoulders and neck , Xinghua's shoulder was immediately scratched, spattering a lot of blood.

Immediately, Xiaodachi felt the pattern on his right shoulder move, and then the same place on the side of Xinghua's injured shoulder also began to feel severe pain.

The exact same wound as Xinghua appeared on his body.

"Xiao Taidao, one of the contracts is the "Love of the Lord's Pet"!" Even with such a serious wound on his body, Xinghua still had a smile on his face.

The Lord's Favorite - Xiao Taidao looked at the wound on his body that was exactly the same as Xinghua's. He was obviously not touched by anything, but such a wound appeared after Xinghua was injured... trying hard to recall what he learned about "" "Contract" message, he suddenly understood what it meant.

It means that after the contract is concluded, as long as the owner is injured, no matter which part it is, the same part of the pet will also be injured, and no matter where the pet is, whether it is injured or not... The same means that if the owner dies, the pet will also be injured. will also-

After realizing why Xinghua would let him go so easily, the first reaction of Xiao Taidao was to grasp the two swords in his hand, shift his center of gravity, and rush back to Xinghua in the opposite direction.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" roared Xiao Taidao and came towards Xinghua.

Xinghua had a little dagger in front of him, and a huge black hook behind him, but he still had a calm face, waiting for the little dagger to run towards him.

At the same time that the black hook was opening and closing its sharp teeth to bite Xinghua, the little sword passed Xinghua, he jumped up, grabbed the head of the black hook and ran up, stabbing down fiercely with the knife.

However, the skin and flesh of the black hook are different from the larvae, tough and steely. The katana's knife was only inserted a few inches deep, and the black hook began to shake its head, shaking the small sword.

The hounds of other Orgs are fighting in groups, and only he let Kodachi deal with Black Hook alone. Wouldn't that be too harsh?Xinghua was thinking this while tying up his blood-stained long hair.

But the little Taidao who was thrown to the ground just now stood up again, and rushed back towards the black hook with great fighting power.

"Xiao Taidao, stomach and eyes." Because of his love for pets, Xinghua finally reminded him aloud, lest Xiao Taidao's random poking would be a waste of effort in the end.

"Shut up! I can figure it out!" Saying this, Kodachi began to aim at the target.

Heigouzi's eyes are above the mouth, there are dozens of them, but even if there are more than a dozen, they are the same as human beings, and they cannot see behind them.

The black hook in front of him bowed its body, it was more interested in Xinghua than the little Taidao crawling like a little ant on its body, because Org's blood was sweet and aroused his appetite.

Xiao Taidao knew that the main purpose of the black hook was not him, so while the black hook was staring at Xinghua, he bypassed the black hook, jumped on its tail, and approached its head again directly from behind.

Clamping Heigou's head with both feet, Kodachi held both knives behind his back and aimed at Heigou's eyes and began to stab.

Kodachi, who was attacked by Heigou, shook his head violently, which made it more difficult for Kodachi to attack. However, Kodachi's legs still clamped Heigou's head tightly. After stabbing Heigou's eyes, he finally Was thrown down.

The little Taidao fell to the ground and rolled around and stood up. In front of his eyes was a berserk black hook. He couldn't see it. It just smelled and stained his body

The bloody Org—Xinghua—attacked.

Knowing that Xinghua would suffer as soon as he was attacked, Xiao Taidao immediately stood in front of Xinghua, like a dutiful hunting dog.

"You should be smart and run fast, can't you? Don't get in the way here!" Xiao Taidao shouted at Xing Hua behind him.

"Your leg strength is also good, and you were able to clamp it so tightly just now." Xinghua squatted behind Xiao Taidao, stroking his thigh loudly, while admiring his pet.

"Fuck!" Little Dao was so angry that his blood vessels burst, but now he has no time to pay attention to Xinghua, the bug in front of him is still about to move!

Heigou shook his head and bumped around, opening his mouth to bite, Xinghua finally cooperated and retreated, Xiao Taidao fought alone, but was knocked away by Heigou several times.

When he got up from the ground again, Xiao Taidao was already covered with wounds, and he couldn't dodge it in time, the black hook suddenly opened its mouth wide and bit down on him.The little Tai Dao dodged, but was scratched by the sharp teeth of the black hook, and several bloodstains were scratched on the entire waist.

At this time, several black hooks in other places have been almost solved, especially the black hooks hunted by Ron.

After Ron and the other hounds finished solving the black hook, although they were not as calm as when they were dealing with the white hook, they seemed to be able to handle it with ease.

"Master." Kneeling beside Qinghui on one knee, although Ron lowered his head, this was a gesture of waiting to receive the reward.

Qinghui smiled with satisfaction, and patted his hound's head: "Good job." Then he looked around with a proud face, no one should be able to handle it faster than his hound.

Then, Qinghui noticed Xinghua and Kodachi who were facing Heigou alone in the corner.

Ron followed his master's line of sight, only to see Kodachi fighting alone.

"What are the main pets thinking... actually fighting alone."

Not only Ron was shocked, but even Qinghui couldn't help but look stupid, because it was an act of sending to death.

"Xinghua is too confident in his hunting dog, and he doesn't need to do this if he wants to show off the strength of the hunting dog..." Qinghui snorted coldly, and couldn't help laughing when he noticed how embarrassed Xinghua and Xiaodachi were at the moment : "I see they need help right now, Ron!"

"Yes Master."

"Go help that arrogant guy."

Hearing this, after Ron lowered his head, he immediately got up and went to help.

As for Xiao Taidao, he got up staggeringly, and kept muttering: "Stomach... belly..." He was looking for Heigou's weakness.

"On the ventral side, in the middle of the body." Not far away, Xinghua shouted at Xiao Taidao, and just as he shouted, Xiao Taidao rushed out like an arrow.

He rushed under the black hook, looking for the soft part, the badly wounded katana, and at the moment almost relied on his wild instincts, as soon as he touched the soft part of the black hook's abdomen, he stabbed hard, as deep as possible Deep, almost buried your hands in the wound,

Little Dao began to run forward, cutting open Heigou's abdomen all the way, and the internal organs fell out. Before Ron arrived, Heihook shook a few times and fell down like this.

Relying on the strength of Kodachi alone.

Ron didn't know what to say when he stood in front of Black Hook's corpse. Kodachi crawled out from the lying corpse, covered in blood.

Ron paused, he coughed a few times, shrugged his shoulders and said to Kodachi: "This is what happens to a person who tries to be brave. You just got lucky this time and got your life back, otherwise... poof!"

Before Ron could finish his sentence, Kodachi walked over with his body shaking, and unexpectedly punched him hard in the face.

The second time Ron was beaten to the ground by Kodachi, he was still in the same daze.

Xiao Taidao spat out blood, with an arrogant face: "I said I would beat you, and I will beat you!"

Remember this time?Ron was dumbfounded, he really didn't know what Kodachi was thinking.

"Then you will be the next one..." Xiao Taidao smiled wildly, grinning, and walked towards Xinghua with killing intent all over his body.His wild instincts are better than reason, he seems to have forgotten what kind of contract, what kind of relationship with the master and pet, and now he only seeks to punch Xinghua in the face hard!

However, when Kodachi approached the smiling Xinghua, Xinghua split into two, then four before his eyes.

"Will the stinky Org continue to split? Wait for me, I'll give you a punch!" Kodachi murmured, he punched the air, and then his eyes turned into darkness.

"Kidachi... Kodachi?"

In the end, Xinghua's voice came, and it was so gentle that it made one's skin crawl.
