Xingtie, started with a guitar, and made a living by singing

Doesn't this force him to distract his attention?

After understanding the implication of his words, Mimiya's expression suddenly became serious.

"It's them?"

She glanced at the refugees' camp. They had barely set up their tents, were lighting small, weak fires, and were huddling together to keep warm.

However, from time to time, people still turned their attention here, and not all of them looked at them as their savior.

Refugees don't have a good reputation no matter where they are, especially when faced with truckloads of supplies. If they want to survive, they naturally have to consider the feasibility of looting. If that's the case -

Mimiya's hand tightened slightly as she drew the bow, and her expression became a little gloomy.

"No, it should be the group that evacuated earlier. Although it's unclear whether they came here for the transport vehicle or if they heard some rumors."

Wendy patted Mimiya's shoulder gently, as if trying to persuade her to calm down.

"But, out of caution, we still can't let them go—"

While Mimiya was still trying to understand what he was going to do, Wendy brushed a fallen leaf off her shoulder and blew gently.

A light breeze blew by, and the leaves swayed and danced, but it seemed as if nothing had happened.

Only Mimiya realized belatedly that the wind elves were migrating and running towards the distance in revelry.

In the mountain forest where it was difficult to see clearly, the leaves above his head suddenly rustled, causing the werewolf scout below to subconsciously look up, but there was nothing there except the mountain breeze blowing past his face.

"?"

He raised his head and sniffed the surroundings. After finding that there were indeed no other living creatures, he continued to calmly observe the group of adventurers from a distance.

But, I don't know why.

His vision seemed to be split in two.

Although it sounds strange to say this, although both eyes are open, it is as if an invisible hand is separating the vision of the left and right eyes.

The sound of flesh and bones being cut was almost inaudible, only the invisible stream of mist continued to invade behind it.

The separated body fell limply to the ground, and the splashing blood dyed the tree trunk red, but did not attract any attention.

It was not until the mist like the evening breeze swept through the group of monsters that the Headless Knight was shocked to realize it.

The stupid subordinates who were originally noisy and even fighting over food suddenly became quiet.

Everything in the camp seemed to be painted on paper by an invisible hand, and all activities came to a standstill.

Then, when you reach a certain node.

pat.

Just like slices of meat cut by the most meticulous butcher, piece after piece of meat rolled to the ground, first the limbs, then the organs, and finally the skeleton.

The demon wolves fell to the ground without even a warning howl, all muscle tissue shaved off their bodies, leaving only a weathered skeleton.

"How is this going!?"

Even though he had experienced death and should have been unable to show any emotion, he felt surrounded by a great terror at this moment.

Then, almost immediately, he remembered what he had heard earlier at the border - the legend about the fairy princess.

Just because there were a group of low-level monsters living in the forest, the young princess controlled a tornado that connected the sky and the earth to throw the fortress occupied by them away. She even dug deep into the ground when she found the portal to hell and strangled all the escaped rock-eating insects.

...No way, why would a guy who even the Demon Lord might not be able to defeat appear in a place like this!?

When I observed it earlier, there were indeed some Mori people in the team, but most of them were humans who were not even half-fairies.

This made him subconsciously relax his vigilance, but he forgot about the fairy princess, and her team seemed to be composed like this...

By the time he realized this, the fire of his soul had already died out like a small flame on a candle that was about to burn out.

"No! Don't come here!"

He desperately tried to hold the helmet under his body, like a child afraid that the candle in his house would be blown out in the dark.

However, no matter how hard he tried to cover it up, there was still a gap.

Then, the wind blew.

The soul fire of the Headless Horseman was extinguished.

The knight's armor crackled and scattered to the ground, and the skeleton horse also let out a silent wail and was blown down by the power of the wind.

Wendy, who stayed where she was, just smacked her lips and asked March 7 for some ice water.

He just tried to avoid using his authority, not that he was completely useless. This breathing method, which couldn't even be called a deep breath, was like an instinct etched in his body.

Besides, if you dare to act so rudely in front of someone, you should be mentally prepared to be caught up by Feng and given a good beating, right?

Chapter 163: Emerald City

After the rest, the transport convoy set off again.

After bidding farewell to the refugee group, San Yue Qi said somewhat listlessly, "Ji Zi, you said even the rear is in such a state, will the front be..."

"Xiao Sanyue, I know what you are worried about. But what I want to tell you is to understand and respect the choices made by the people on this planet."

Ji Zi just gently rubbed Sanyue's little head and spoke in a gentle tone.

"Of course, this is just the 'rational' response given by adults, standing by and observing. You also have the right to do something for them. These are all essential parts of the pioneering journey. I just hope you don't forget that."

As Sanyueqi looked at her in confusion and with a hint of shyness, Ji Zi put her forehead against hers.

“If you encounter something that makes you sad, confused, or painful, please tell us.”

"——Because we are all one family in the Starry Sky Train crew."

In such a tone of unity and harmony, San Yueqi temporarily put aside his worries and went to play with the stars.

She originally looked melancholy, but with her gray hair and slightly cold dress style, when she was silent, she could be considered a beauty.

However, when the silly roe deer Sanyueqi came over, the atmosphere quickly turned into a festive one.

Dan Heng, who was sitting in the driver's seat, just glanced at them, but did not participate. He just turned to look at Wendy.

"You used your power."

He said in a firm tone.

"Hmm, that's really sharp."

Wendy didn't play innocent. He could hide this from anyone, including Jizi.

But only Dan Heng, who had once revealed his original form as the Dragon King, could definitely detect the little movements he made.

Perhaps puzzled by his undisguised sincerity, Dan Heng was silent for a moment and then reminded him.

"Jizi said you should get some rest."

Otherwise, once the power gets out of control, the damage that Wendy can cause to this planet will be far greater than any disaster they have experienced in the past.

He didn't want Wendy to commit such a serious crime, and he didn't want to see his fellow passengers on the train trapped in the shadow of the past like him.

That feeling is not pleasant...

"Woo wow, does this count as you caring about me, Dan Heng?"

This made Wendy look a little surprised, which briefly attracted the attention of March Seven and Xing as they looked over curiously.

Wendy, who thought she wanted to talk in secret, waved her hand and said with a sly smile.

"Nothing, nothing, it's just that Dan Heng wanted to talk to me about some little secrets between boys."

"What? The way she talks like a girl? Nashida's influence is quite lasting..."

March 7th complained subconsciously.

Xing tilted his head, as if he had thought of something, and then the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Why do you look like you understand something?"

"March, you're still young."

"Huh? You're the youngest among the people here, right? And, even though I'm not very reliable, I'm still your senior on the road to development!"

When Sanyueqi puffed up her lips and pretended to be embarrassed and angry, Xing just cast a loving look at her.

"That look, wow—are you imitating Himeko?! Stop it! When I think about how I acted like a little girl and acted like a spoiled child to Himeko earlier, I feel like I'm losing face!"

The girls over there were having a lot of fun, and Mimiya, who was standing guard in the front, cast some envious glances at them, but she did not put down the work in her hands. After nodding to Wendy to indicate that the road ahead was safe, she continued to scout in front of the convoy.

"Well, let's continue with the previous topic."

Wendy lowered her voice.

"Is Dan Heng worried that I won't be able to control that power and bring disaster to the people of this planet?"

"...Not entirely. As a train mate, I believe you can control that power and not fall into it."

After all, even the forest nation, which has always inherited this blessed power, has not been as crazy about pursuing the power of immortality as the people of abundance.

For those long-lived races, unless something unexpected happens during life, they will die young. Sometimes, even natural death is their own choice, not the end of their life.

Not to mention that since they met, Wendy gave him the impression that she was not the kind of person who would go astray or go astray.

All the worries were just based on the caution in Danheng's heart because he had seen the fate of that kind of people before.

He looked at Wendy deeply, and his tone suddenly became like that of an old friend.

"—But, if you can't control this power, sooner or later you'll face something utterly sad and hopeless. And then, perhaps everyone on the train will be torn apart..."

"Then, Dan Heng, will you come to help me when the time comes?"

Wendy turned her face slightly and gave him a bright smile.

It was as if he was certain that Dan Heng would do his best to save him.

This inexplicable trust and the bitterness in his heart that was deeper than the sea almost swallowed up Dan Heng's mind.

However, the breeze created when the young man stood up reminded him of the day when he was liberated from the UFO prison.

"It seems like you're still stuck in the past. What should I do—"

Wendy tapped her cheek, pretending to be thinking hard, and then seemed to have come up with some great idea.

"How about this, since we're both kind of 'ticking time bombs' now, let's make a pact!

In the future, if Danheng falls into trouble and needs help from others, just call my name, no matter where I am, I will definitely respond to you.

On the contrary, if I were to fall into that dire predicament, I beg you to help me out. Although the probability of this happening is extremely small, as long as you do this, Dan Heng will be able to put his worries aside!"

Incomprehensible logic.

Dan Heng certainly didn't understand why Wendy could come to the conclusion so easily. She looked as if she didn't care about the setbacks and difficulties.

Doesn't he know that just by associating with him, he will be wanted to death by the Xianzhou Alliance, which is ranked among the most powerful in the entire universe?

However, the boy's smile was very pure, and even his eyes were as clear and clean as the blue sky after rain.

For some reason, when the ray of sunlight that penetrated the dark clouds fell on the young man, Dan Heng subconsciously held the hand he extended.

"Hehe. Is this what a lifetime agreement means?"

"...From the perspective of the agreement, it's a bit heavy. Also, I'm from the Vajra Dragon Clan..."

Although he wanted to refuse, Dan Heng just couldn't say what he meant.

"Ah, I heard that the Vidyadhara will continue to reincarnate. Doesn't that mean it's life after life? It's like being caught in a black hole."

Wendy blinked and said as if jokingly.

"I wonder if a wind spirit incarnation like me can escape before being captured?"

In response, Dan Heng just curled his lips slightly and turned to look ahead at the road.

"—Who knows? It's too late to regret now, right?"

"Hey, wait. Wait, you guys made some kind of agreement over there, didn't you?! Tell us about it too, I want to come too!"

Noticing that the two seemed to be discussing something very important, March Seventh showed an expression of not wanting to be left behind and squeezed over like a large domestic dog.

She held Wendy with one hand and Danheng with the other, and seemed reluctant to let go. Seeing this, Xing hugged them without hesitation.

"You are all my wings."
