Simon approached cautiously, partly to avoid disturbing the prey in the waterweeds, and partly to avoid being spotted by Camina.
He only wanted to protect from the outside.
He moved slowly through the grassy area of Luoyan. The tall grass provided him with good cover, while the bright moon and stars in the night sky gave him a good view.
He drove the snail out of the dense grassland in front of him, and a high slope appeared not far away.
By the moonlight, he looked up at the high slope.
He found Camina.
They also found Yuko.
Simon stayed where he was.
"You almost died today..." The girl's slightly reproachful voice gently brushed past the tips of the grass on the high slope.
Like a gust of wind, it made the grass blades tremble slightly.
"I know," Kamina said, scratching her head. "It won't happen again."
“Everyone needs you. Your spirit and will... Simon... he's always so timid. Perhaps I could pilot the Spiral Rock and fight alongside you…”
“Simon is my brother, and the rock is his. He can do better than me and is more talented than me. If it weren’t for him, I might be dead by now.”
"I will fight alongside him, even if it means dying for him."
Camina's voice cut through the night, unlike his usual bold and unrestrained tone; it was deep yet resolute, melting into the darkness.
“Okay,” Yuko said hesitantly.
She rubbed her fingertips, her mind heavy with emotions.
Which girl doesn't dream of being a hero?
In particular, this hero disregarded life and death, valued his brothers as precious treasures, and regarded death as worthless as grass.
He possesses a unique charm.
Simon is not the only one whose genes are etched into the Spiral race.
Death is the most unusual thing in the world; it can stir everyone's thoughts and drive them to do things they wouldn't normally dare to do.
Simon was the same, as were Camina and Yuko.
Ultimately, when it comes to emotions, we are all just ordinary people.
Aside from the immense spiraling force within his body, Simon is nothing special anywhere else.
He was short in both age and height.
If you threw him into a crowd, no one would notice him except Camina.
Except for now.
The two people on the high slope stood back to back, facing the distant stars, unaware that someone was watching them from behind.
"I don't want you to die." Yuko turned her head and stared straight at Kamina's profile.
"I will not die until our victory arrives," Kamina said with a confident smile.
"Those guys are already creating the Great Face, which will merge with the Crimson Lotus Conch Rock. Then we'll become as powerful as the Great Face Mountain, hahaha!"
“That’s not what I meant,” Yuko said softly.
"I know!" Kamina ruffled her messy hair.
He also turned his head to the side, as if he wanted to say something.
I turned my head and felt a warmth on my face.
……
Silence fell suddenly under the starry night.
A faint light from the night sky swept across the kiss from afar, across the lush meadows, and across the hard shell of the snail-shaped rock.
"What? So my brother and Yuko have been dating for a long time, and he didn't even tell me. Honestly..."
"You can't do that again next time..."
Inside the impregnable cockpit of the snail-shaped rock, Simon lowered his head and muttered to himself.
Surprisingly, he only felt a slight sourness.
But this sourness is not intense; it has no physical form and is not an enemy.
He couldn't control the rock to clench its fist and make it sprout a drill to defeat the enemy.
He just watched.
Or it's best not to watch it at all.
what is this?
Heartbroken? But he's never been in love before.
A kiss shattered the boy's wishful thinking and crushed the emotions stirred by the approach of death.
"Big brother is a very good person. If it were me..." Simon wanted to tell himself in a low voice.
But he is still too young; controlling one's emotions is a skill that only adults possess.
“The moonlight is beautiful, isn’t it?” A hand rested on the snail-shaped rock, and a voice whispered to Simon.
Simon suddenly felt a sense of guilt and quickly looked away.
"Lord Zhou, Lord Zhou Lan..." he exclaimed in surprise.
His face suddenly turned red; he was doing something embarrassing, like peeping at other people's love lives.
"I didn't mean to..." Simon quickly said.
Beside her, Zhou Lan shook her head, her gaze sweeping lightly over the figure on the high slope before landing on the snail-shaped rock. Her gentle gaze seemed to pierce through the rock's hard shell, looking directly at Simon.
“I’ll take you somewhere,” he said.
"Where...are you going?"
"The moonlight here doesn't belong to you, don't get lost."
Chapter 263 Do you want a wife or not?
Simon numbly returned to the water plants.
He was practically dragging his feet as he walked, but he tried his best not to make any noise that might disturb the two people on the high slope behind him.
Following behind Zhou Lan, his low spirits were obvious to anyone.
But there's nothing we can do about it.
As an observer, Zhou Lan saw things more clearly than anyone else.
A sunny girl like Yuko would make any boy who has spent his entire life underground fall for her.
Especially after experiencing death.
Neither humans nor the Spiral race can abandon their instincts.
Unfortunately, in Yuko's eyes, the one she cares about is Kamina.
As for Simon, she only regarded him as a younger brother.
They hadn't had much contact, and Simon had never expressed his feelings, so Yuko couldn't be blamed for that.
Or perhaps, in the end, Simon himself only harbored a slight fondness for her.
A certain youthful aspiration, a hormone triggered in the face of death.
His mind was in complete chaos, and he couldn't see where he was going.
But it doesn't matter, the moonlight will guide every lost child.
Zhou Lan didn't mind giving him a hand.
Or perhaps that's why he came; otherwise, there would be no need for him to appear at this moment.
But Zhou Lan's purpose was not for some simple youthful feelings; his relationship with Simon was not yet that good.
The key lies in just one point.
The person they are about to find is very important.
Looking back, how would you summarize the failure of the once righteous Spiral King in one sentence?
A very important reason.
Rogeron, the Spiral King, once possessed formidable spiral power, at least compared to when the future protagonist ventured into space to conquer the Anti-Spirals.
The difference in their spiral forces is not significant.
In other words, the Spiral King is Simon of the past, while Simon is, in a sense, the Spiral King of the future.
But the Spiral King of the past, Rogeron, could not find a place for the Anti-Spirals.
In the vast multiverse, as long as the Anti-Helix doesn't do anything foolish, Rogeron might need to search for ages.
This is a critical problem.
He possessed power but could not unleash it. He wandered through the universe, facing endless enemies and watching his combat power dwindle to nothing but wasted time, while also being bewildered by the future described by the Anti-Spiral Race.
This outcome was ultimately caused by the dual predicament of spiritual and practical difficulties.
Simon will face a similar predicament in the future.
If you can't find the enemy's location, everything else is pointless.
That's why Zhou Lan wanted to guide him to find that most special "locator".
"Where...are we going?" Simon asked, looking at the receding figure floating ahead in the moonlight.
He has just experienced a major life event, and his current state of mind is fluctuating.
In his calculations and perceptions, Zhou Lan was leading him towards a location far from the underground kingdom.
They are getting further and further away from the underground world, heading towards some unknown distant place.
What lies in the distance? Simon didn't know.
But he seemed to have no choice but to follow Zhou Lan step by step.
At least he believed that Zhou Lan wouldn't harm him.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have survived the moment they met, and the other party wouldn't have needed to return the drill pendant to him.
Only now did he realize the importance of that pendant.
This is the starter for the snail rock.
“Follow the moonlight,” Zhou Lan said calmly, her hands hidden in her wide sleeves.
According to his calculations, it should be within the next two days.
I arrived too early; the place was empty.
If you arrive too late, the "locator" will die from exhaustion.
Now is the perfect time, especially for a boy who has just come to understand teenage feelings and is breaking down in his defenses.
Having gone through many different environments, Zhou Lan is now quite adept at getting along with young men like Simon.
He understood what they wanted and knew where their vulnerabilities lay.
It provides solace to those who are broken and hope to those who are vulnerable.
The Moon Demon is good at this.
When people are feeling depressed or down, they often look up at the starry sky and have a special fondness for the moon.
It seems that in the pitch-black night, in their depressed mood, they hoped that the moon in the sky would exist as their guiding light.
Simon had lost count of how long he had been following the figure ahead.
Only the surrounding scenery was changing.
From familiar to unfamiliar, this place gradually became strange to him; it was a place he had never been before.
