I'll forge a new destiny

Chapter 11
  Bai Ge didn't want to die at all, especially since he had struggled until now, and he was even more eager to survive.

This desire miraculously stopped the trembling of his hands at the moment when death invaded, allowing him to hold on to his last support...

It's of no use if you hold it tightly. If you can't block it, you can't block it. Although Bai Ge is a veteran awakener, he is still very powerful, and Zhang Xing is just a rookie. But one party was seriously injured and dying, and the other party's awakening process was somewhat special. The two were now barely on the same level. In the absence of crushing force, there is only one possibility to block an anchor weighing as much as a ship with a short knife.

That's one of them dreaming!

But there was a moment when he desperately held the dagger in front of him and was thrown out by the anchor. Bai Ge actually really hoped that he was really dreaming, and what he was having was an unprecedented nightmare.

Then it started with the battle on the ship, those flames and explosions, and the anchor that looked like a beast...

Or to put it more bluntly, it would be nice if the brat waving the anchor in front of me was in a dream.

It's a pity that this is indeed not a dream, and the anchor that smashed over is also extremely real.

So the random thoughts only lasted for a moment, and the next moment the white pigeon was whipped out by the watermelon rind.

The white dove landed on the ground with a bang, causing a large cloud of flying sea sand to splash.

Now, he could no longer hold his short sword.

"Cough...cough...cough, cough, cough, who are you?"

He beat the rough sand, not caring that there was another crack on his body, and the scar that had been temporarily stopped began to ooze blood. I want to use this method to stop my hands from shaking again and gain that little possibility of resistance.

But he didn't know whether it was because the injury was too severe, or because of the fear deep in his heart that he clearly didn't want to admit but kept emerging. Bai Ge's fist that hit the ground was bruised and bloody, and he had already begun to vomit blood, but he still couldn't stop the trembling.

"Who knows, maybe it's a Kamen Rider passing by. I couldn't stand the behavior of you group of sea rats, so I chose to take action."

Hearing these joke-like words, Bai Ge's face was full of unwillingness. He no longer continued his futile behavior, but tried hard to straighten himself up.

His eyes glanced at the short knife that fell to the side. The carefully crafted weapon that had saved him several deaths and killed many masters. After two head-on collisions with the watermelon rind, the originally straight blade became Gotta be a little twisted.

Bai Ge, who discovered this, was a little depressed, and for the first time a dejected look appeared on his face.

He looked at Zhang Xing, who was approaching again, with his shoulder on his shoulder. Even with his eyesight, he could not see the slightest bit of wear on the watermelon rind. His whole body went limp as if his spine had been taken away, and he lowered his head and could no longer raise the slightest fighting spirit.

"Why did I meet you? It shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't..."

He raised his head again and looked at Zhang Xing with great confusion.

"Why didn't you hesitate at all? You've obviously won." Zhang Xing interrupted, who was about to say something. "Don't say you are worried about my backlash. I can see that my last bit of resistance was not. What trouble did it cause you? I just want to know now, I just want to solve the mystery before I die...Why, why didn't you hesitate."

He stopped and kept at a distance where he could knock him to death at any time without being counterattacked.

Zhang Xing scratched his chin and said, "Maybe it's because of the name."

"?" Bai Ge's face showed obvious confusion.

"No matter how many rhetoric you used to beg for mercy or show weakness, or how you explained the pros and cons, I will never believe it. Because I didn't feel the slightest respect in what you said, not even as good as in the Watermelon Pi. Go on, those words you said when you first appeared behind me were sincere."

"After all, if you really respect me so much..." Zhang Xing raised the watermelon rind, "Then why didn't you ask me my name?"

Is it because it's not necessary?
  This sentence was not asked, but Bai Ge understood what Zhang Xing meant.

"I'm still too arrogant."

He looked at the approaching anchor and smiled with relief.

Then, I took the last step in my life. Although I only have one leg left, it doesn’t seem to have any impact. Bai Ge took his own steps in the void, just like he had done before.

This is his sublimation and the last gift of fate to him - after taking this step, he can usher in his destiny, and he can also open up a new life path in the future entanglement with Zhang Xing.

Zhang Xing still couldn't understand this step.

I don’t understand what principle it is, why it has such an effect, whether it is an awakening ability or some kind of treasure.

But it's not important!
  "Because I can-"

Stop it!
  With a puff, even worse than the trouble of dealing with the hermit crab, the anchor claw of the watermelon peel smashed the white pigeon's head.

Taking away the lives of others is not as difficult as imagined. Looking at the body lying on the beach in front of him, still twitching slightly, Zhang Xing seemed inexplicably calm.

Maybe I've seen it a lot on the ship and after falling into the sea, and I've even seen weirder and more twisted pieces of flesh. Except for a little melancholy that this life was handled by his own hands, Zhang Xing didn't feel anything strange at all.

"Strictly speaking, I have already done this when the cannon was fired."

I shook the watermelon rind, maybe because I had experienced a serious battle even though it was not intense. Or because of the completion of a killing, in short, a lot of smooth power followed Zhang Xing's thoughts and condensed on the anchor. The warm water vapor gathered and washed away the blood.

Leaning back, the watermelon rind rested firmly on Zhang Xing's back.

"My name is Char..." He looked at Bai Ge's body, hesitated for a moment, and then laughed again: "My name is Zhang Xing, from Captain Wende's Watermelon Pi, and I am a trainee on his ship."

[Destiny nodes appear, destiny tributaries appear, do you want to draw node rewards? 】

"?"

Because my mood has not calmed down yet, and I know that I will definitely be able to leave. This time Zhang Xing was not anxious, but rather confused.

"Why did a tributary appear so quickly this time? Didn't he just die?"

[The node object belongs to the category with heavy destiny, and this destiny will not dissipate with his death. At the same time, because the torrent of fate never stops, in order to make up for the omission caused by his death, there will inevitably be fluctuations in the fate of existence to maintain the general trend. In this way, although the general trend will not change, variables have actually emerged. 】

"So my reward has already appeared. According to what you said, if I leave here and find a town to go on a killing spree, won't I be able to draw a bunch of prizes?"

[It is not recommended that the host behaves like this. The torrent of fate may counterattack such behavior. At the same time, the object you kill may not cause the emergence of nodes. This is a very irrational and loss-making behavior. 】

"It's not maybe, it's definitely." Zhang Xing smiled, "I have put everything together like this. There is a high probability that I will be the only one alive on the Watermelon Pi. And if I didn't have a meal here, it would be just fine if I was delayed for a while. If we meet, this white pigeon will definitely survive."

His smile faded and he couldn't help but sigh.

"I still have to say, he's really damn strong. But even if he is so strong, with such a complicated torrent of fate..."

There are people who are not worthy of triggering nodes.

Squatting in front of Bai Ge who stopped twitching, Zhang Xing looked at the last thing left by this man.

"So you should be satisfied. Fortunately, you are quite important."

Raise your head and look at the high hanging sun. He lowered his head again and looked at the surging tide.

Zhang Xing hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand to Bai Ge's body.
