Chapter 38 The Reaper

The Pride Plain in winter is always covered with heavy snow, and the Reapers hide under the thick snowdrifts, stretching out their hands and tongues towards the people who move on the snow layer.

Their bodies seem to be covered by black mist, and when they get close enough, they will find that those are not mist, but tiny black particles.

It was as if something was burning away on their bodies in the dark and silently.

At first, everyone didn't know what changed the reaper. It was a bloodthirsty monster directly created by the cage owner, and it only had the instinct of hunting.

But gradually, people discovered that after the adventurers were hunted down by the harvesters, no corpses were left behind.

They disappeared without a trace as if they had never appeared in this birdcage.

The true face of the reaper was discovered by Xie Bai.In the winter when he returned to the Arrogant Field, he and Wen Feng patrolled the snowy field, looking for newly arrived adventurers.The two met the reaper, Wen Feng led the adventurer back to a safe place, and Xie Bai stayed behind.

People saw Xie Bai fighting the Reapers on the high ground.

After Xie Bai killed the Reapers, the Reapers revealed their true colors: their bodies were dead adventurers.

Ji Chunyue and Wen Feng led different adventurers out of town at different times and patrolled around the highlands.They found no sign of the Reapers near the heights.

This is very unusual.

On the Praser Continent, the number of Reapers increased to an astonishing level for a while, and the newly arrived adventurers were hunted down before they could clearly see the state of the "birdcage". Large-scale adventurer camp.

In the vast snow field, black reapers wandered day and night.

In the end, the cage master made the adjustment.Overnight, the number of Reapers was reduced by half, and the mysterious messengers patrolled the continent and selected several places for the adventurers, so that the adventurers could set up camp.

The reapers, who used to hunt all the time, have also changed their habits.Winter is the signal for harvesters to start their activity, and their cycle of activity only lasts from winter to the next season.

Sometimes, if the movement of the four clocks is winter-spring-spring-summer-autumn-summer... In short, as long as the hands of the four clocks do not point to the position of 12, it means that people can have a safe and secure life.

Sometimes, however, every time the four clocks move, they repeatedly return to winter, which is the position of 12.The harvester's hunting time will continue to increase, especially long.

Even in the happiest and safest of seasons, people are always on edge.The sword of Damocles hangs above everyone's head. When the four clocks strike, no one can predict whether it is a mourning horn or a happy music.

Therefore, every movement of the four clocks will attract everyone's attention.

According to the law, this is the peak period of harvester activities.But there was no sign of the Reapers anywhere near the highlands.

Both Wen Feng and Ji Chunyue are adventurers who have frequently fought against the Reapers.They can distinguish the smell of the reaper, which is a strange smell mixed with rot and scorching. When the reaper walks, the black particles on the body will fall on the ground, and it will not disappear for at least a day.

"Could it be that Fan Xing was really awakened..." Wen Feng said, "The young man said he went hunting the Reapers. I thought it was just a lie made up by them."

Ji Chunyue was riding a horse with him, standing on the high ground.Behind him is a peaceful town, and in front of him is a green field and a big river.The weather was fine, and the clear wind was blowing her short-cut hair.

"Why don't you believe it?" she asked. "We've been patrolling for eight days, and we haven't found a single Reaper."

Wen Feng should not.Ji Chunyue approached and said, "I heard that you fought with Yu Zhou?"

She smiled and pushed her husband's arm: "Don't be ashamed, he is a junior no matter what. I heard Jiang Xiao talk about the time outside. If you and I are still here, we are already in our 40s. You fight with young people, no Do you feel embarrassed?"

Wen Feng's face was a little uneasy: "Here, I am about the same age as him, and there is no distinction between elders and younger generations. He steals! I saw him pick locks and doors with my own eyes, and he is so proficient."

Ji Chunyue stopped talking to him about this, and changed the topic: "Xie Bai is back, we have to tell him about it."

It was the eighth day that Fan Xing had been unconscious.

After Yu Zhou carried him back to the restaurant, his high fever never subsided.Dry the fish carefully, turning his palm.Thin vines sprouted from the place where the palm was cut.

Yugan tried to pull out the vines, but unexpectedly, those vines seemed to grow together with Fan Xing's muscles and blood vessels, firm and firm.

Yu Zhou described what he saw in detail, and Yu Gan fell silent.

It was rare for it to think seriously, and everyone quietly waited for the conclusion.After a while, Yugan patted his fins: "My heart has already begun to fuse with Fan Xing."

Buried in Alga's kingdom, although the hidden rocks cannot be moved, it seems that under the influence of the plants in the kingdom, the power of the heart is externalized into light gray rose vines.Both Fan Xing and An Liu are children of the "gap", but Fan Xing's composition is different from An Liu's. An Liu's heart initially rejected Fan Xing, so Vine was afraid of Fan Xing.

But in Fu Yuncong's city, Fan Xing used his blood to dissolve the hard protective shell around his heart.This layer of shell was set up by the will of the "gap" to protect An Liu's heart, and Fan Xing was able to remove it.Without any protection, the heart was forcibly swallowed by Fan Xing.

Yu Zhou remembered what Fan Xing said: he was hunting the reaper and learning how to use An Liu's heart to do things.

Yu Zhou even thought of Fan Xing's hand on his left chest, with a frenzied and confused expression on his face.He turned his head to look at the slightly frowning young man on the bed, and raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead.

"But no matter what, I haven't woken up for eight days, isn't it very dangerous?" Liu Yingnian said, "Should I ask someone to take a look?"

"What are you looking at?" Jiang Xiao looked at Fan Xing's hand, "Let them see Fan Xing like this?"

The wound on his hand was pulled away by the dried fish, and the thin vines were slowly wriggling in the air.

The day he came back was even more terrifying. Fan Xing lay in bed until midnight. Yu Zhou, who was in charge of guarding him, was awakened by the movement on his legs. continent feet.

Ji Chunyue wanted to see the situation of Fan Xing, but everyone guarded the door to prevent her from approaching.Yu Zhou stripped off Fan Xing's clothes, and found many wounds on his body, with small vines crawling and scratching inside.

Fortunately, in the past few days, the vines have gradually withered and disappeared, leaving only the palm of my hand.

That night, Yu Zhou was still guarding Fan Xing.He played chess with Yugan on the drawn backgammon board, Yugan squirmed and played tricks, Yu Zhou: "I don't regret the move."

Yugan: "The Yu family doesn't understand."

One person and one fish were arguing quietly, and suddenly they heard Fan Xing snorting on the bed.

Yu Zhou immediately rushed to the bedside, Fan Xing opened his eyes and said, "Hi."

His body temperature has not completely dropped, but it is no longer as hot as it was a few days ago.Yu Zhou checked his palm, the vines disappeared, and the wound was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Also healed were the wounds on Fan Xing's body, large and small, there were more than a dozen of them.Fan Xing lay down, looked left and right, and finally looked at himself, his eyes swept over his naked body, and slowly turned to Yu Zhou.

Yu Zhou instantly guessed what he was going to say.

"Bad guy." Fan Xing smiled half-annoyed, his eyes sparkling like water, "Doing this kind of thing while someone is sick."

Yu Zhou: "..." He knew who Qian Yu learned from saying "Yujia" when he said "Yujia".

It's no big deal for Yugan to watch a play: "I tried to stop him! But it didn't work."

Yu Zhou: "Who took the initiative to pick off his underwear?"

Yugan looked around and said to him: "Who? Who is it?!"

Fan Xing lay down for eight days, his whole body was sore and limp, and he slowly sat up.The original clothes were too rotten to wear, so Yu Zhou threw Ji Chunyue's clothes to him.Fan Xing unfolded it and took a look: "Whose is it?"

Yu Zhou: "Thank you Bai."

Fan Xing threw it away: "Don't wear it."

Yu Zhou was amazed: "...isn't it appropriate?"

Fan Xing: "Not suitable."

Yu Zhou: "Impossible, you are about the same size as him, and your height is the same."

Fan Xing looked at him: "You remember clearly."

Yu Zhou took away the strangely smiling dried fish: "If you don't wear it, you can go naked."

Fan Xing: "It's just right, I like to sleep naked." He lay down again, feeling uncomfortable because of the empty stomach, looked left and right, and found that this was actually Yu Zhou's room.

Yu Zhou went to boil water for him to cook noodles, and the dried fish swam to Fan Xing's side, rubbing his cheek.

"Why are you so adventurous this time?" it asked, "It's really you who hunted the Reaper single-handedly."

"I want to adapt to your heart as soon as possible." Fan Xing said, "It's too uncomfortable."

The dried fish drooped its eyes: "I advised you not to eat it. It's not a good thing."

Fan Xing suddenly remembered something, and grabbed the dried fish by the tail before it slipped away: "An Liu, Yu Zhou met the Harvester under the bridge, and he called your name. Where did you go?"

Yugan's eyes flicked around: "Is there?"

"His name is An Liu." Fan Xing said, "An Liu is you, and now I am. So I know he is in danger. What about you?"

When Yu Zhou returned to the room with hot water and noodles, the dried fish was soaking in a cup filled with water.

"Sober it up." Fan Xing said.

Yugan poked his head out of the water: "I'm not drunk now!"

Before he finished speaking, Fan Xing pressed down again with his finger.

The next day, knowing that Fan was awake, Jiang Xiao and others came to visit him one after another.When he entered the door and saw the dried fish in the water glass, Liu Yingnian was surprised: "Soak it again?"

Fan Xing: "...again?"

Jiang smiled: "I soaked it for two days."

Liu Yingnian: "I also have two days."

Xu Qingyuan stretched out two fingers and shook them.

Drunkenness is a mistake, and the dried fish is willing to be soaked.Yu Zhou poured water and let it out, and the dried fish started howling at Fan Xinggan at the top of his throat.Fan Xing closed his eyes and rested his mind, listening but not listening.

The story of Fan Xing hunting the reaper has spread in the restaurant.Someone had seen him moving on the high ground, and his posture in confronting the hunters was sharper than Xie Bai's. After finally waiting for him to appear, everyone gathered around to inquire.

Fan Xing was instantly surrounded by longing and admiring eyes.He became addicted to drama, and described the process of hunting the reaper vividly, adding many unnecessary strange plots for no reason.

In the middle of the talk, a new customer came to the restaurant.Xie Bai dressed casually and greeted people as soon as he entered the door.The adventurers all recognized him, and half of the attention of the crowd around Fan Xing was taken away in an instant.

"I'll take a look at our hero." Xie Bai nodded at Yu Zhou first, then smiled at Fan Xing, "Is it better?"

He and Fan Xing are very similar in one place, and that is their likability.The feeling of intimacy, more is too boring, less is fake.

Yugan whispered in Yu Zhou's ear with a voice that Fan Xing could hear: "Yu Zhou, your ex-boyfriend is so handsome."

Xie Bai went to sit next to Yu Zhou, and happened to be face to face with Fan Xing.He reached out to brush Yu Zhou's forehead hair first, because Yu Zhou didn't want to look at him directly and look down at Liu Yingnian's notes, so he could only look up at this moment: "What?"

"I heard that you were also injured." Xie Bai said in a gentle tone, "I left the arrogant place to investigate some things these few days, I'm sorry."

Yu Zhou: "My injury has nothing to do with you."

Xie Bai: "If only I could be by your side."

Fan Xing coughed slightly as he watched the two ask and answer.

Xie Bai finally turned to him: "Sister Ji told me that you woke up. I just got home, but I have something to ask, so I came here immediately. I hope I won't disturb your rest."

Fan Xing thought to himself, Yu Zhou actually likes such a long-winded man?

His face is still calm.But Xie Bai's next question made him raise his eyelids.

"There are 36 reapers on the Pride Plain, but you can kill [-] of them in three days." Xie Bai asked, "What is your background?"

The author has something to say:

Fan Xing and Xie Bai faced each other tit for tat, their eyes collided with fire.

The dried fish swimming between the two fell to the table.

Dried fish: Sorry, I'm burnt.
