Kevin, but he is a male mother in Xingtie with little Ai Li

But just as Xier said, this trust ultimately belongs only to herself. She is not the leader of Dihuo, so how can she have the right to make decisions?

"Besides, even if what you said is true, how can I be sure that you won't fall behind?"

Xier then gently waved the sickle in her hand and added: "Don't say I didn't give you a chance - if you can beat me, I will take you to see the leader of the Earth Fire and guarantee your words."

If a teammate fails to perform well on the battlefield, it could be a matter of life and death, and if things go wrong it could affect the entire battle situation.

After all, these guys came to Dihuo to discuss cooperation, Xier had to give them a chance to prove themselves. The main reason why she chose to prove herself by fighting was that San Yueqi, who couldn't stop talking, accidentally revealed the fact that they were beaten up by Kevin.

Xier actually really wanted to know how far the fighting ability between her and him was.

"Can it be solved just by fighting? No problem, this is what I'm best at!"

Hearing that there was no need to rely on eloquence to convince the other party, the self-aware San Yue Qi jumped out immediately. Fortunately, she had not forgotten the pain after all, and after saying this, she quickly added:

"But we agreed beforehand that you must not keep hitting the butt!"

"......Clam?"

These strange words made Xier look confused. Danheng also turned his face slightly and pretended not to know this guy. Only Xing nodded in agreement.

After all, her butt landed first just now, unlike Danheng who still had his butt raised up, which was great.

"Forget it, it's up to you. I don't have any weird habits."

After a little thought, Xier decided not to delve into this problem that sounded wrong, and turned around and walked outside: "Come over here, let's find an open place to fight. I can't use my skills here."

In order to avoid involving passers-by, Xi'er led the three of them to the edge of Panyan Town. Xing, who was looking around curiously at the end, suddenly leaned close to Sanyueqi's ear and whispered, "Do you feel that the current development is similar to the plot of the game?"

I don’t know if he was taught bad things or inherited genes from someone, but Xing Mingming has become addicted to various video games just a few days after waking up from amnesia.

"What, like?"

San Yueqi is a new-age young person who basically doesn't play video games, but this does not hinder her strong curiosity.

"That's right. At the beginning of that kind of game, the protagonist is usually given a boss that he can't defeat at all, and then he kills it according to the plot. After escaping death, the protagonist will start traveling, meet various partners and become stronger, until he returns to the boss at the beginning in the end..."

"Then we can give that guy a good beating?" Before Xing finished speaking, March 7 had already learned to answer.

"Then the protagonist still couldn't win and was killed by the plot..."

Xing spread his hands helplessly.

"what???"

What stupid game came up with this plot?

Chapter 46 Is the gap between him and me so big?

boom--!

After arriving at an open space near Panyan Town, Xier swung the sickle in her hand and stuck it firmly into the ground. She put one hand on her waist and turned to look at the three people following her.

"It just so happens that there are not many people around here, so let's set the battle location here. I hope you won't let me down too much."

If the three of them were just strong on the outside but weak on the inside, not only would she not be able to test how much worse her level was compared to Kevin, but it would also be ridiculous for her to help them solve various problems.

Normally everyone would hope that their opponent would not be too strong, but at this time Xier hoped that the opponent would be as strong as possible.

"This guy doesn't look like someone who is easy to mess with. Who of us will go first?"

After a quick glance, San Yue Qi covered his mouth with his hand and quietly approached the two of them. Unexpectedly, not only did Xi'er hear what he said, but the other party also ruthlessly rejected this seemingly fair proposal.

"No, all three of you come together."

Hearing this, San Yue Qi was slightly stunned, and quickly asked: "...Are you sure you didn't say anything wrong?"

"Nonsense, of course I'll let the three of you come together. Don't waste your time there. While you guys were still crying for milk in your mother's arms, I was already out there fighting for my life."

Xi'er's mouth was merciless, but there was nothing you could do about it. After all, in the lower levels, even if you were only weaker in words, you would likely be considered an easy target to bully and cause a lot of trouble.

"Besides, shouldn't this be a good thing for you? As long as you can beat me, I won't cheat or go back on my word even if three of you come at me together."

After all, her original intention was to test the difference in strength between herself and Kevin. What was the point in letting them go up one by one?

Furthermore, she is indeed very confident in her current abilities.

"So what should we do now? Should we listen to her and join in?"

San Yue Qi asked his companion quietly, and Dan Heng immediately responded after a moment of thought: "Just like she said, fairness is not important. Our goal is to save more people... and, what if the opponent's strength is as exaggerated as the previous one?"

Thinking of the miserable state he faced Kevin before, San Yue Qi immediately swallowed his saliva and replied: "What you said makes sense."

"In that case, we have to go together!"

Xing shouted out their decision loudly, and Xier finally smiled with relief.

"That's right. Being so hesitant doesn't look like a fight at all. Also, remember to be careful—"

Before he finished speaking, Xier's figure disappeared from the spot at some point, and the second half of the sentence sounded strangely from behind them.

"——Because when I fight, I never know what it means to hold back!"

boom----!

The sickle flashing with a cold edge was swung down mercilessly, but was blocked by the sensitive Dan Heng in the first time, and he even did not forget to convey the message to his two companions.

"Xing, March 7, just do as we said before, maintain the battle formation!"

"Roger that!"

"clear."

After receiving the message, San Yue Qi, who was holding a longbow, immediately leaped back to distance himself, while Xing turned around and moved forward, taking advantage of the opportunity when the opponent's body was still suspended in the air with nowhere to exert force and hit him.

"Good coordination, but the movements are too slow!"

This attack, which was theoretically impossible to dodge, strangely missed. Xi'er only used Dan Heng's weapon to gain some leverage, and after she leaped into the air, she instantly turned into a shadow, and in a moment she attacked from another direction.

Bang-bang-bang-!

Xier's figure flickered in the air like a butterfly, and only Dan Heng could barely withstand the high-frequency attack, but he could not find any chance to fight back.

Therefore, he could only place his hopes on his companions—

"Prepare for the worst. The other party can teleport to any corner in a small area without restrictions!"

Fortunately, there is one thing to be thankful for: Xi'er's strength is completely traceable. If she could knock them out of their fighting ability with just one blow like the previous one, then what would be the fun?

"March!"

"Understood~"

After all, the two were comrades who had fought together many times. With just a word and a look, San Yue Qi completely understood Dan Heng's meaning and immediately raised his longbow and aimed at the sky.

"It's finally my turn to take action!"

As the ice-blue arrow was shot into the sky and exploded into ice clusters, Xier immediately realized that the situation on the field was not good, and immediately prepared to retreat to a distance to keep some distance.

"Too late...Rain!"

A fierce gust of wind suddenly spread out from all around Dan Heng, disrupting Xier's figure. Then, dense gun shadows stabbed quickly towards her retreat, forcing her to give up retreating and could only swing her sickle to block the opponent's attack.

Finally, just as Dan Heng began to lose strength, countless sharp ice clusters began to fall from the sky continuously, turning the originally flat ground into a hornet's nest in an instant.

For Dan Heng and Xing, who were protected by the 3-month-seven shield, the ice clusters posed no threat to them at all. However, Xi'er could only keep jumping in the midst of the attacks to minimize the damage to herself.

After receiving the blessing of the mark, her abilities and speed have indeed been improved, but her body is still that of an ordinary person after all, and there are limits after all.

In this pure blue world of ice and snow, Xier's lavender movements seemed unusually clear. Her footsteps were no longer untraceable as they were at the beginning, but she consciously landed in locations where ice clusters were sparse.

“3,2…1!!!”

As the last words fell, Dan Heng and Xing, who had been carefully observing Xi'er's movements, launched attacks in two different directions at the same time. After several turns and moves, Xi'er was finally forced into such a dead end.

boom--!

Finally, Xing's baseball bat pushed Xier's sickle away and successfully placed the weapon on her fair neck.

"Very good, you win."

After all, she was willing to accept defeat, so Xier put down her weapon very simply and handed the victory to the three people who cooperated perfectly.

No matter which one of the three of them is missing, the cooperation they show will never be as perfect as just now, and Xier is absolutely confident that she can defeat them one by one.

But the fact is, the coordinated attack of the three of them successfully forced her into a desperate situation even though she thought she had the upper hand. But it is said that in front of Kevin, the three of them only took three hits in total.

Of course, she was very aware that there was still a gap between her and the other party, but...wasn't this a little too big?

Chapter 47 Bronya, We Have No Choice

On the other side, in the upper area, Bronya, who had followed Cocolia all the way and ended up entering a dark room, finally couldn't help asking:

"Mother, why did you bring me to this place?"

It’s not that Bronya was complaining about anything on purpose, but if there was anything, couldn’t she just talk about it in the original room? Why did she have to move to a room like this?

Her own time doesn't matter, but to the "Great Guardian", every minute and every second is precious.

"You know what, Bronya?"

Cocolia did not directly answer her daughter's question. Instead, she stepped forward and gently turned on the dim switch in the room. She said, "This was once the most important research institute in the entire Beloberg. Its experimental goal was to study the source of all disasters - the star core."

"Star core? What is that? You never told me... Is the star core you mentioned the source of the rift disaster? Then why don't we find a way to solve this problem as soon as possible?"

What Bronya was concerned about was not that she, as the successor to the Great Guardian, had been kept in the dark about such an important matter, but rather that since they had already found the source of the disaster, why hadn't they tried to resolve it?

Isn't it what everyone wants to see, that Belloberg can get rid of his troubles?

"It's not as simple as you think, Bronya."

Cocolia hugged her chest and turned around, making it impossible to see her true expression. "Not only the rift, but also the cause of the cold wave comes from the star core. There is one thing that only the successive 'Great Guardians' are qualified to know - the person who activated the star core and brought about the cold wave was the original 'Great Guardian', Alisa Rand."

"But, how could this happen...?!"

Not only for Bronya, in the eyes of all Beloberg people, the first generation "Great Guardian" who built the entire Beloberg and led them to resist the invasion of the Legion is undoubtedly a spiritual belief.

Just imagine, if one day you found out that the savior you have admired for a long time is the one who actually wants to kill you, what would you think?

"But this is the truth, Bronya, and the truth will never change with what most people think."

"The original 'Great Guardian' certainly had her own difficulties. If the cold wave had not arrived, Beloberg would have been annihilated by the cavalry of the Legion. How could we be here now to discuss her right and wrong?"

"This is not a secret that belongs exclusively to the Great Guardian, but a difficult reason... Just imagine, if the people of Beloberg knew that it was the great Alisa Rand who activated this thing, what would happen?"

"It is only a small matter that the people have lost their faith. Those who are ambitious but have no vision will take the opportunity to create chaos. They think that as long as they climb to the pinnacle of power, they can get everything and do whatever they want. Little do they know that in this position, they will be truly oppressed and unable to breathe."

"Tell me, Bronya Rand—what would you do if it were you?"

Compared to her own daughter, Cocolia's ability was indeed much stronger than hers. After a series of questions, Bronya was left speechless.

"I know that your love for Beloberg is as great as anyone else, Bronya."

Suddenly, Cocolia's tone gradually softened. She turned around and stroked Bronya's head with her cold palm. "But you are far from being cunning enough. Most problems in this world cannot be solved by love. Some problems... even have no correct answers at the moment they are raised."

"For hundreds of years, countless brilliant researchers have devoted their lives to this work, and successive generations of 'Great Guardians' have tried countless methods, but they have never been able to find any way to destroy the star core, eliminate the rift and the cold wave."

If possible, wouldn't Cocolia want to become a qualified leader, leading the people of Beloberg to repel the rift, eliminate the cold wave, save the entire planet, and become a statue-like leader for people to admire?

However, as the "Great Guardians" were passed down from generation to generation, what they brought to future generations was not hope, but an abyss with no end in sight.

The spread of the rift is becoming increasingly severe, the cold wave will never see the light of day, and there has been no progress in the research on the star core... The despair from all aspects is almost only weighed on the "Great Guardians" alone, because they are the shield of everyone, and it is impossible to entrust these problems to anyone else.

Just like what Cocolia said, for her, there is no correct answer to all this...

"Even if I could have the ability of Alisa Rand, and even lead the Silver Mane Guard to victory in every battle, such a Beloberg would definitely not be able to survive as the next 'Great Guardian'."

During the conversation, Cocolia's eyes never left Bronya.

After all, Bronya, his daughter, would be the next "Great Guardian".

"But there must be some way, there must be some way to solve these problems..."

Having said that, from Bronya's perspective at this time, she really couldn't come up with any useful conclusions.Why can she speak out a problem that has never been solved by the "Great Guardians" and countless researchers in the past?
