the only savior

chapter 21

"When I was young, I once met a white-haired grandpa..."

Zhang Xiaoman's face was filled with memories, as if he had seen the distant past.

"He said that I was special and was willing to teach me something... He was my mentor, Ling Wushuang..."

Zhang Xiaoman spoke very slowly so that he could edit the manuscript on the spot.

"Later, he left, and it wasn't until several years later that he returned to me at the last breath, and told me all this before he died... It was also from him that I obtained some inheritance..."

Zhang Xiaoman suddenly stopped when he said this, he stopped and turned around without a trace, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Brother Hero didn't think so much. Seeing Zhang Xiaoman stop, he quickly asked, "What happened later? What inheritance did you get?"

Zhang Xiaoman said in his heart, how can I know what inheritance is, it's not all to fool you.

However, in order not to wear gangs, he planned to delay this topic for a while, and then he said:

"Brother, believe me, it's not yet time to tell you... I can only tell you that this inheritance is not a good thing. On the contrary, it is very heavy..."

Seeing Zhang Xiaoman's serious appearance, the heroic brother couldn't help but make up some secrets. Although he was extremely curious, he knew what to do, so he didn't ask any further questions.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoman quietly breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could relax, he saw that Brother Hero seemed to have suddenly thought of something, with a suddenly enlightened expression on his face.

"Ah, yes! I remembered, no wonder you always told us to go to a lonely grave to play hide-and-seek before we moved when we were young. I also asked you who this is, but you always Don't say it. The person buried in that grave... is your master?"

Zhang Xiaoman heard the black line in his forehead, thinking that the good man's brain-enhancing ability is too strong.

I have a fart master, and I went there to play just because I was too bearish at the time. As for what I refused to say, I don’t know who it was.

It's just that no matter how much he complains in his heart, the basic qualities of being a master of flickering cannot be lost.

Zhang Xiaoman didn't answer this question from Brother Hero, but turned around and showed him a meaningful smile, neither affirming nor denying.

I don't know what the good man has made up his mind. After seeing the other party's expression, his face is suddenly stunned.

He then nodded and seemed to be more and more convinced of what Zhang Xiaoman had just said.

"Brother Man, I can't believe that you are still a hidden master... Brother, I have been with you for so many years, and you haven't found out at all. You are really hiding too deep. I'm very curious, what are your abilities? When did I learn it, I didn't notice it at all."

Zhang Xiaoman showed a "you are fine" expression, and then said:
"Didn't you realize that since I was in the fourth grade of elementary school, I went out every Saturday..."

When the hero heard the words, he suddenly realized: "Ah! I was still curious at the time, where have you been, so you are..."

"That's right!"

Zhang Xiaoman nodded very simply, but secretly slandered in private.

"Just kidding, I used to be bad at math, and I went to the teacher's house to make up lessons every Saturday. How could I let you know about such a shameful thing!"

Seeing that he still has the momentum to continue asking questions, Zhang Xiaoman waved his hand and interrupted:

"Old Lu, don't worry about other issues first. I need to purify the corpses of these monsters first, otherwise it will be troublesome if someone finds out."

When the hero heard what he said, he couldn't help swallowing the question that came to his mouth.

He saw Zhang Xiaoman slowly spread out his right hand, and a complex and exquisite seven-pointed star emblem on the palm of his hand suddenly came into view.

"This, this is..."

"This is the will of the inheritor, the dawn in the dark, the mark of the dawnbreaker, the badge of the dawn..."

Zhang Xiaoman said that he paused, looked at the eye in the middle of the seven-pointed star in his hand, and subconsciously said:

"This is called... the eye of the stars."

Brother Hero was also deeply attracted, he watched for a while, and then asked:

"But, why didn't I seem to see this in your hand before?"

Zhang Xiaoman couldn't help laughing and shook his head.

"Brother good man, then let me ask you, do you remember that you have seen my palm?"

The hero thought for a while, and then hesitantly said:
"This, I don't seem to have it... I can't remember it."

Zhang Xiaoman nodded.

"That's right, I deliberately hide it, and you have never paid attention to it, and it is normal to not find it."

The hero opened his mouth when he heard the words, his face was a little confused, but he didn't speak again.

Zhang Xiaoman slowly approached the monster's corpse, stretched out his hand and slowly touched the faceless monster.

He saw that the seven-pointed star pattern in his palm became brighter and brighter as the distance approached.

When Zhang Xiaoman was about to touch the corpse, a wave of energy visible to the naked eye appeared, and then a stream of light flew from the monster's corpse to his palm. The whole process was full of special effects.

In just a moment, the monster's corpse became lighter and lighter with the streamer, and finally disappeared completely, and the pattern on Zhang Xiaoman's palm returned to its previous appearance.

"Ding, absorb the essence of the corpse demon and increase the points by 7 points."

The system prompt sounded in Zhang Xiaoman's mind.

After witnessing the whole process from the side, the hero was almost unable to close his mouth.

He stared at Zhang Xiaoman's right hand as if his eyes were about to pop out, and he didn't even notice that the phone he had been holding in his hand fell to the ground.

"This, this is, extraordinary power..."

Brother Hero's lips trembled uncontrollably, witnessing this scene with his own eyes made him feel extremely shocked.

Zhang Xiaoman smiled indifferently and said to him:

"Come on, there's another one over there."

The heroic brother didn't realize what Zhang Xiaoman meant for a while, but just saw him walking towards the entrance, so he followed.

"Zhang Xiaoman, what kind of ability did you just have, was it magic? Or an ability? Could it be a self-cultivation spell... oops! What the hell! What is this!"

The hero brother originally followed Zhang Xiaoman to ask questions, but when he turned into the entrance of the passage, he suddenly saw a terrifying monster, and the whole person was staggered and almost fell.

"Well, how come one died here! Oh my god, this scared me to death! I thought I bumped into a live one again!"

The hero finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that what was on the ground turned out to be just a corpse.

Zhang Xiaoman glanced at the corpse on the ground, and then said casually:
"When I came here just now, I met someone blocking the way, and I killed him easily."

This sentence seems plain and indifferent, but it sounds like rolling thunder in the ears of the hero.

"Smoothly...killed?"

He repeated it blankly, looking at Zhang Xiaoman with more complicated eyes.
