Emerald Star: Lan of Bonds

"Looks like they got rid of them."

Moriyu looked back and saw nothing but the shadows of the trees and the intertwined branches.

A large number of pests may make it difficult for the hounds and AI who are chasing, and they still have time to extend the distance.The scope of this sick forest is vast, even if the other party catches up, it will probably take a while to find them.

Now that it's safe for now, it's time to discuss business.

"I said... what the hell is going on?"

Senyu picked up the bag on the handle, he followed Xinghua's words to collect what he needed and came back, but found something amazing in his room.

"What does an Org collect story orbs for?"

Mori Yu took out a hand, and held a story ball in his hand.

In the small room in the Xinghua Room, there are many human things, most of them are antiques, some books, toys and the like, and the best ones are these story balls.

And some of these story balls were not even collected by him.

"And an Org being chased by a pack of hounds and AI is having a hard time convincing me that there are no problems."

"It's none of your business, aren't you collecting that stuff yourself?" Xiao Taidao snorted.He tore off Mr. Butterfly's clothes casually, and wrapped up the wound for Xinghua.

"Most Orgs who know the function of the story ball are too late to destroy these things, let alone collect them."

"So... what are you going to do collecting these things?" Xinghua asked back.

This time it was Moriyu's turn to stop talking.

What is the purpose of human beings collecting story balls? In fact, it is obvious that it is too hypocritical to talk about collecting ancient relics. In addition, Moriyu's identity is a wild dog without an owner... So Xinghua knows, the other party The purpose is probably not far from his.

Xinghua didn't point out the other party, but the atmosphere in the car that had been silent suddenly became tense again.

After bandaging Xinghua's wound, Kodachi is now in the mood to deal with other things.He turned around and sat opposite Xinghua, then narrowed his eyes at Moriyu in the back seat, as if he was ready to attack someone, "Okay! Back to the topic, we also drove you out, Now put things down so you and Ron can get out of the car!"

"Then please return my things to me first." Mori Yu's attitude was still tough.

The two sides returned to the dispute at the beginning——

"Wait." But this time was interrupted by Mister Butterfly.

"What's wrong?" Xinghua asked, Mr. Butterfly was expressionless and a little frustrated.

"I think we should all get out of the car." Mr. Butterfly shrugged. Under his driving, the maglev drove slowly and hard into the depths, and finally stopped.

"What do you stop for?" Kodachi asked.

"I didn't want to stop, but the car broke down." As soon as Mr. Butterfly finished speaking, the whole maglev car began to emit a lot of smoke, so that everyone had to get out of the car.

A cloud of smoke rose from the woods.

Xiao Taidao kicked the car body fiercely, and the maglev vehicle collapsed and disintegrated on the spot, and it seemed that it could not be repaired even if he wanted to.

"what should I do now?"

A group of shortlisted people stood next to the disintegrated maglev vehicle. Everyone got off the vehicle, and there was nothing to continue arguing about the original fight.

"Take back my things, then get out of this piece of vegetation and then go south and return to my stronghold - this is my plan, my companions are still waiting for me." Mori put the things back for Xinghua and the others behind his back With a back, he said: "What about you?"

Everyone looked at Xinghua.

Xinghua was silent for a long time, and he said: "If they have already chased to the dog monument, it will be a matter of time before we go south. Now we can't go back to the central urban agglomeration, or return to the fringe urban agglomeration, otherwise we will have to surrender ourselves." All the way..."

"So?" Mr. Butterfly asked.

He thought that Xinghua had a plan, but his master just shrugged and smiled, "Well... I don't know either!"

"In short, let's make a decision after leaving this sick forest first?"

***

Xinghua and the others left the smoky place, and the deeper they went, the tighter and narrower the tree trunks became. Even if the maglev vehicle wasn't broken, they couldn't move on.

Xinghua looked at the forest in front of him, the vegetation in the south was different from the vegetation in the north.Most of the vegetation in the north is tall and slender, sunlight can penetrate from above, and wind can also flow in from the outside. The soil is dry and finely covered with lawns, which makes Org feel comfortable.

The vegetation in the south was originally the same as the vegetation in the north, long after the energy body of the previous generation was thrown back into the mother's embrace... But this is no longer the case, the mother's body is gradually weakening, and the energy body that should have returned to the mother's embrace is now in the Running around at the "focus" of the mother's body——

After the depressed air rushed into his nose, Xinghua realized how seriously ill his mother was.

The huge trees are intertwined, covered by a thick trunk and dense green shade, the sky can hardly be seen, the air seems to be stuffed together, making it difficult to breathe, even the soil under the feet is moist and thick, once the mother body opens If the aunt is weak, such vegetation will start to grow in large quantities at the southern end of the entire Emerald Star, which is also called "sickness" by them, and "sick forest" by humans.

Orgs don't like this kind of place. Staying in this kind of place, there are too many insects and too many plants that greedily absorb and divide well, it will make them feel that life is gradually being absorbed by the lesion.

Xinghua covered his mouth, his expression was a bit staring, Xiao Taidao stared at him and blinked, and didn't say much.

"Do you know the way out?" Xiao Taidao asked Moriyu, and he leaned against Xinghua so that she could cuddle up to him.

"Org seldom goes in and out here. It's the most common road we go north to Goubei. I know the fastest way to get out here." Senyu said, watching Xinghua's pale face, he had a feeling in his heart Thinking, "What, do you want to deal with me?"

"Take us out of here." Kodachi said firmly.

"Then what are you going to exchange?" Mori Yu thought that Kodachi wanted to exchange terms with him like he did before.

As everyone knows, what Kodachi said just now is an imperative sentence.

"I'm not going to exchange things with you. Anyway, sooner or later you have to go out, we just follow! You didn't send out any coolies at all, so what face do you have to ask for reward?"

Kodachi spoke so confidently that Moritama was almost shocked by it.

He really didn't know whether to say whether the other party was stubborn or thick-skinned, he was just like a brute, but Xiao Taidao was right, as long as they stubbornly followed him, he would have nothing to do with them.

Wanting to take the cow back by force and trying to use it for his own use, it seems that there is still time to consume.Mori Yu sighed, he took out a few story balls from the bag and put them on his body, and threw the others back to Kodachi and the others.

"If this is the case, then I also insist that you must return my things to me, but it is no good to stay here to argue about these things, so I will confiscate these things before we go out, and we will talk about everything after we go out .”

If possible, at that time, Moriyu hopes not only to take away all the story balls.It would be better to leave with Kodachi.

Moriyu scanned the people present, and finally landed on Xinghua.

In fact, Kodachi is not the most difficult problem to deal with, the real problem lies with this Org.

Leaving aside his mysteriousness and being hunted down, Org itself is an untrustworthy existence. Although he has always made up his mind to bring Kodachi and the others back to his stronghold, that is only limited to Kodachi and the others. Group "Humans".

Moriyu doesn't trust Xinghua, he even thinks Xinghua will betray them.Maybe this is a trap, after he takes them back, Xinghua will suddenly turn his back on them, find out their stronghold, and maybe catch all the traveling dogs and execute them at once.

Therefore, until everything is safe and sound, Kodachi and the others are still on the watch list.

"I want to do this, you should have no problem?" Mori Yu smiled, he stared at Xinghua, but the other party just nodded, and then tightly grasped the little sword that was about to rush to beat him.

"Then come with me!" The agreement was reached, and Mori Yu passed through the crowd and walked forward.

***

The smell in the air is damp and depressing, with a fishy smell, and the smell of insects is strong, which gave Moriyu an idea. If the contract problem with Kodachi can be dealt with, then there is no need to worry about that Org anymore. The worms in the sick woods got rid of him.

But... this is just an idea, and the difficulty of implementing it may be much higher than imagined.Senyu glanced at the main pet who was sticking together, thinking about it.

"Xiao Taidao... woo!" Meimei grabbed Xiao Taidao's hand, her eyes filled with tears.

They had been walking all day and it was getting dark.The vines in the sick forest were overgrown, and it was not easy to move, and they just focused on moving forward without eating or drinking all day, even Kodachi and Ron, who were hounds, seemed a bit too much, let alone Meimei and Mr. Butterfly.

Mr. Butterfly's face was pale, but he didn't say much.Meimei had reached the point where her legs were shaking.

As for Xinghua... the situation was very bad from the beginning to the end.His face was livid, and he always covered his mouth and nose with his hands. The smell in the sick forest has been unbearable for him, and his face has turned pale a lot.

Xiao Taidao has been supporting Xinghua and helping him to walk. He doesn't know what's wrong with Xinghua. Xinghua's physical condition feels very bad, but the relationship with the main pet doesn't make him feel any discomfort, and his mental state is not bad.

Without further ado, Xiao Taidao hugged Meimei and let her sit on his shoulders.

"We can only walk a little longer, everyone is tired, and I am hungry and need to eat."

"Okay... let's find a place to rest."

In fact, Senyu thinks that they can go a long way, and it is best to rest in Bochen, but it seems that the recovered members can no longer hold on, so they can only find a place to rest for a while.

Kodachi supported the weight of two people by himself, reluctantly followed Moriyu, and then rested in a place with a water source, less dense trees, and a little air circulation.

Moriyu started a small fire.Fire will attract things, but most insects are afraid of fire, which has advantages and disadvantages.He additionally baked a few giant leaves to serve as makeshift beds of relief.

Moriyu's ability to live in the wild is obviously much better than Kodachi and Ron. After all, he is a stray dog ​​who is used to wandering. Unlike them, he knows how to live in the wild.

Little Dao put all his leaves on Xinghua's side, and Xinghua asked him, "Where are you going to sleep?"

He shrugged his shoulders with a look of course, "Of course I slept on you!"

This kind of conversation made Moriyu frowned, and Mr. Butterfly coughed a few times, and then let the Org who had heard the words and ran to wrap around the little dagger stop talking.

In the middle of the night, Moriyu ran out for a while, and when he came back, he brought a few pieces of strangely shaped raw meat and roasted them for everyone to eat.Kodachi and Ron knew what it was.Hungry, they chose to keep their mouths shut and eat obediently, and then refused to tell Meimei and Mr. Butterfly what kind of meat it was.

But Kodachi thinks Mr. Butterfly has guessed it.

Usually, the meat they eat is animal meat artificially bred and raised by AI. Where does the animal meat come from in the wild? There are only worms at most...

But Mr. Butterfly didn't say anything, and forced himself to eat a few mouthfuls, anyway, the body is pure if he can't see it.Meimei ate it foolishly.

Org has always hated that smell, so Xinghua sat next to him from beginning to end, covering his mouth and looking very uncomfortable.

That reminded Kodachi that Orgs need to eat too.After eating, he wiped his mouth and asked Moriyu, "Is the nearby water source clean? Is it safe?"

"The water source near here is considered to be the cleanest, if it gets hotter." Mori Yu replied.He noticed that Kodachi probably wanted to find a place for Xinghua to eat a little.

What a dim sum hound.Senyu raised her eyebrows and looked contemptuously, "Can I take a bath? Can I?" Meimei raised her hand and asked, after walking in this forest for a day, she was covered in dirt and wanted to wash it very much.

"Keep near the fire and don't make a loud noise, I think it's doable."

"Can I go wash my body? Can I? Please!" Meimei blinked at Xinghua and Xiaodachi.

Of course Xinghua nodded and said yes.Xiao Taidao shrugged, "Yes, yes, but you go downstream, because Xiao Hua'er and I are going to stay upstream."

"Then I'm going upstream too!"

"But I plan to take off my clothes and be with Xiao Hua'er, and you want to?"

Then Meimei showed a shameful expression, turned her head and pouted, ignoring Kodachi.

"Actually, you don't have to be so mean to Xiaomei." Xinghua was dragged away by Xiao Taidao, "It's okay if she wants to wash up upstream?"

"Although it's not possible, you want to drink her bath water? Damn—" Xiaodachi showed an expression of "your hobby is really special".

"Wait. What do you want to bring me here?" Xinghua was amused by Xiaodachi, although he didn't know whether Xiaodao was joking with him or telling the truth.

"Hey, you need to eat something, your face is as white as if it just fell out of the mouth of a giant worm." Xiaodachi said to himself.

"My face?" Xinghua touched his face, he was very afraid that something would fall if he was not careful, just like the Org in the past when the energyization was very serious.

Xiao Taidao found the water source that Moriyu said, where the annoying plants grew more sparsely, and the moonlight and starlight illuminated it, making the fire even brighter.

There were small round stones under their feet, and there was a pool of spring water in the middle. When Kodachi reached out and touched it, it was hot, like the heat of bath water.

Xiao Taidao rolled up the leaves, and took a scoop of water to Xinghua.

He hesitated for a while, then frowned and said, "How should I feed you? Grab your mouthparts and immerse in the water, or just splash it?"

"Actually, it's okay to drink by mouth."

Xinghua smiled, and he took the water and drank it directly.

The water here is definitely not as clean as the water provided in the usual cities, but it is not without small supplements. Xinghua reluctantly drank the water, otherwise it is estimated that Xiao Taidao will have to recite for a long time.

Little Dao stared at Xinghua like a curious wild cat, "Do you want more?"

"No, I have no appetite."

"You Orgs are really strange. You only need water and sunlight to be full. You can still grow so tall." Xiao Taidao reached out to grab Xinghua's hair, which was stained with a lot of his blood and had dried up at this moment.

Xinghua's hair was dyed with a faded golden dye, and Kodachi didn't like this color, but he still preferred Xinghua's original blue, which was a little silvery.

"I think we also need to take a bath!" Xiaodachi's eyes suddenly lit up. "Come here!"

He grabbed Xinghua and walked towards the water, then began to take off his clothes.

Xiaodachi never minded that he was naked in front of Xinghua, and Xinghua was always very distressed by this, because Xiaodachi never seemed to mind in front of others.

"If you want to be naked in the future, you can only do it in front of me, do you know?" Xinghua said, slowly undoing his clothes.

"If you are a man, you will lose your mother-in-law!"

"In exchange, I won't expose my body in front of others." Xinghua said, when Xiao Taidao ran over to undress him rudely, he gave up on himself and took his time.

"Hmm..." Kodachi thought it sounded reasonable, and said in a deep voice.

It wasn't until a long time later that he suddenly realized the unfairness of "Org wouldn't casually expose their bodies in front of others".

Xiao Taidao dragged Xinghua into the water. He had already confirmed that there would be no creatures in the water that would endanger Xinghua's safety.He took Xinghua to a deeper place, until their waists were soaked in hot water when they sat down.

"Anyway, you've already been hunted down, I don't think you need to continue dyeing your hair." Xiao Taidao rubbed Xinghua's hair in the water, and after the dirt on it faded away, it revealed a beautiful silver-blue color.

"Little Taidao, you really like my hair, right?" Xinghua laughed.

Xiao Taidao didn't say anything, he turned around and leaned against Xinghua's chest, just like every time he took a bath before.

Kodachi's thick short hair made Xinghua's neck itchy, and his heart also itched. He hugged Kodachi and buried his face between his necks.

Only now did Xinghua really have the time to think about what happened today.

He was sure that the Org he saw on the outskirts of Inubei was Allah, which meant that his companions in the advanced city had discovered his whereabouts and came here.

So what's next?

Now that the dog monument has been found, Allah will also take other Orgs to visit the fringe cities at the southern end. They will go to Yuemu in Rouge Forest and Jin Cheng in Lion Circle, and then they will find his Traces, found that he bought back the small sword in the black waterway, and the fringe city has begun to rot, the mother's body is weakened, and all the things that he has started to turn into energy...

Any fringe city at the southern end can no longer accommodate them. As soon as they are discovered, they will be arrested immediately, and then he will be forced to separate from Xiaodachi.

"Is there something else you're hiding from me?"

Xiao Taidao suddenly spoke up, and asked directly: "What's the matter with those Org feet chasing after you?"

Xiao Taidao always felt that Xinghua kept some things from him without telling him, he just didn't want to ask as much as a little girl, but when Xinghua's hiding things from him already involved Xinghua's own safety, Xiao Taidao felt that he had to know .

"Tell me, what's up with that Org that looks like you?"

Xinghua didn't expect Xiaodachi to notice Allah, he sighed lightly, and raised his head from Xiaodachi's neck.

"There are some things that I actually don't want you to know, Kodachi." He confessed.

"Why?" Xiaodachi was rarely angry, just lying in Xinghua's arms and listening quietly.

"I don't know... Maybe it's because I'm worried that if I say it, everyone we meet next will rush to send me back, and then we will be separated?" Xinghua muttered.

"With me around, this kind of thing wouldn't happen!" Kodachi murmured, hugging his chest with both hands, "I won't let anyone touch my things!"

my things?Xinghua couldn't help laughing at the words Kodachi used.

"I promised you, so can you tell me why?"

"Well... yes, but I can only tell you part of it."

Xinghua still doesn't want Xiaodachi to know about the mutation in his body. He doesn't know how to deal with him if he tells him everything.

His body is related to the life of the Emerald Star, as well as the life of Kodachi.If they didn't find the so-called ark left by human beings, and they couldn't take the ark to leave, then there will only be two endings for them in the end-separate or destroy together.

If you tell Kodachi all the possible endings, what will Kodachi do?Hold him tightly until the entire Emerald Star falls, or let him return to his mother's embrace?

If possible, Xinghua hoped it would be the latter, he didn't want to see such a vital little dagger destroyed along with him.

"Those Orgs are indeed looking for me, and the Org you said looks like me is the controller of a cutting-edge city, an org with a very pure bloodline."

Judging from the current situation where even Allah is going south to find him, the probability of the third choice is so small that it is hard to see.Therefore, if possible, Xinghua hopes that the sooner Xiaodachi knows about these things, the better, so that they can live a few more innocent and pure days together as intimately as they are now.

"That guy wants to take you back, right?" Kodachi said.

"Yes."

"Where do you take it back?"

"A cutting-edge city, a big white cage, where I used to stay."

"What is the purpose?" Kodachi is very cunning sometimes.

"Here is the part I don't want to talk about yet." Xinghua smiled, and he would not be fooled usually at this time.

"It's really a mother-in-law, so when are you going to say it?" Xiaodachi complained.

"Well...it won't be long, maybe I'll tell you in two days."

After he is really ready.Xinghua was thinking, while stroking Kodachi's thigh.

"It's not too different to say it now and two days later..." Xinghua hissed when his hand touched the base of Xiaodachi's thigh.

"Hey, little Taidao, let's stop talking about this and come to play, shall we?" Xinghua knew that this was a good excuse to change the subject.

Recently, Kodachi's body has been in a state of excitement, so sensitive that even a slight touch can make his whole body turn red.Xinghua kissed the back of Xiaodachi's ear, and lightly bit his earlobe.

"Xinghua—" Kodachi whispered, a little warning.

"I successfully caught you today, and I didn't let you fall into a meatloaf. Didn't you say that you would reward me? I've been waiting!" Xinghua chuckled lightly, not letting Xiao Taidao change the topic back.

"Reward? Ah... that." Xiaodachi remembered, turned his head and smiled.

Xiao Taidao actually seldom smiles, Xinghua thinks this is a pity, because Xiao Taidao is really handsome when he smiles!

"Just like the reward you gave me?"

"Huh?" Xinghua was puzzled.

Xiao Taidao suddenly stood up from the water, then lifted him up and pulled him back to the shore.

Crouching between Xinghua's legs, Xiao Taidao looked up at Xinghua, licked his lips, "Isn't that right? I can do it too!" He lowered his head and held the hard object between Xinghua's legs, and opened his mouth to hold it.

It turned out that Kodachi was talking about this.

Xinghua can only be described as flattered, he was sitting on the shore, while Kodachi was crawling between his crotch, swallowing his utensils in his mouth, his movements were a bit clumsy.

But Xinghua didn't care at all, he thought such a little sword was a bit cute.

Xinghua's fair and slender fingers inserted into Kodachi's questioning, rubbing gently, messing up Kodachi's hair.

There is no skill at all, Xiaodachi just continued to lick and fiddle, but Xinghua knew that he should soon be able to master how to make himself comfortable, because...

Xinghua shuddered slightly with the sucking of the little dagger, and he knew that something deep inside his body had been provoked by the little dagger.

Kodachi's canine teeth are very obvious, like a puppy, Xinghua couldn't help rubbing his fingers against the other's face, "Um..." Suddenly, Kodachi raised his head, and his throat grunted, but his mouth was still full of tears. He wiped away the saliva he swallowed with his hands.

"This is really stupid!" he said, his ears flushed.

"what?"

"I said it's stupid..." Kodachi lowered his head, rarely feeling uncomfortable with his naked body.

Xinghua didn't understand what happened to Xiao Taidao until he noticed the high spirits in Xiao Taidao's crotch.Due to the relationship between the master and pet, while helping him to imitate this kind of thing, Xiaodachi can also feel what he feels.

That feeling must be very weird, right?It was so weird that Kodachi stopped moving.

"So this is your reward?" Xinghua said, squinting his eyes, deliberately teasing him, "I seem to be giving you more rewards than these."

Then a pair of eyes stared up, shining brightly.

"Listen, if you want to be provocative, you have to find the right person..." Kodachi whispered, with a warning.

"Aren't you the best match?" Xinghua smiled.

"what?"

"Because I know that no one can escape unscathed after provoking Kodachi." Xinghua held Kodachi's face in his hands. At this moment, Kodachi looked like a wild leopard.

"You're right. So you're mentally prepared?" Kodachi narrowed his eyes.

"Well, I can't wait."
