Chapter 1286

There is a place.

There is no vegetation, no green, and even few rivers, only endless stones and dust, and the vast world is connected into a gray line.

It is a forbidden area for human beings, but it is a paradise for monsters. Countless monsters with strong vitality live on this gray land. It is said that there is even a demon emperor who governs all demon families.

This place is called the great wilderness!

……

The scorching sun.

An ugly old man was sweating in the gray area. From time to time, monsters came out of the rubble and dust and attacked him.

The old man didn't seem to have any accomplishments. He relied on a bead in his hand to resist the attack of monsters. Just along the way, there were more and more monsters, and the magic weapon in his hand became more and more dim.

Another gray monster rushed out. It was not big, but it was extremely fierce. It hit the bead under the light of the bead's body protection, and smashed the bead.

The old man retreated again and again. He was about to die. He shouted, "my life is over!"

The voice didn't fall.

A knife broke through the air and cut the gray monster in half, crisp and neat.

The old man sat on the ground without image, gasping heavily, revealing two rows of yellow teeth and laughing.

A man appeared, wearing a dark green robe, slender and handsome.

It's Xiao Zhou!

The old man looked up and down at Xiao Zhou. Although he kept smiling, his eyes were full of guilt and said, "if you don't do it just now, the old man will die!"

Xiao Zhou grimaced: "five kinds of people are gone. You still have 100000 mountain people. Do you have to take such risks?"

The old man stood up from the ground, patted the dust on his ass and murmured, "at the beginning of hearing about your death, the old man thought of simply dying in the wilderness. Later, the prime minister told me that you didn't die. Don't mention how happy the old man is. Child, you really didn't disappoint me."

Xiao Zhou said painfully, "yes, I didn't let you down. Others were disappointed."

"Yes, you could have gone away and remained anonymous since then. Only in this way can you live up to what Zheng Feiyue did for you... But you came back after all, very good." the old man said with emotion.

Xiao Zhou was silent.

The old man said with a smile, "you are very good. Don't frown all day. If you lose your face, it will be another bitter thing if you meet a destined person in the future."

Xiao Zhou became angry: "don't talk about this. I ask you, what are you doing in the wilderness?"

The old man said with a smile, "you are my most proud disciple. You must know that no matter where I go, I have a corresponding mission to complete. Just like when I went to the east bank, Zheng Feiyue was assassinated. Unfortunately, the plan failed and I almost lost my most proud successor."

Xiao Zhou stared at the old man and asked, "what mission?"

The old man opened his mouth: "the last mission."

Xiao Zhou trembled. He didn't have too many accidents, but his eyes were red. Then he squatted down slowly, grabbed a stone and crushed it.

The old man smiled and said, "it's good to have you at the end of my life. Thank you for coming with me, son. When I die, the boat will pass, and there's no need to go back to the mountain."

"Do you really think so?"

Xiao Zhou's voice was extremely hoarse.

The old man: "Castle Peak can do what a devil on the east bank can do. I want to open it. A boat is a boat. Why do you have to be a castle peak? The future era has nothing to do with a dying person like me. Castle Peak's mission should end here."

Xiao Zhou wiped the corners of his eyes and said, "after you die, I will go back to the mountains, but not for you, but for the people in the mountains and the people on the east bank!"

The old man smiled happily: "naturally, when I learned that you were still alive, the prime minister told me something. Zheng Feiyue is not an enemy. You should help him more, both public and private."

The old man didn't want to say more, and Xiao Zhou didn't ask more, so they were silent.

The sun slanted westward, and the scorching temperature decreased slightly. The old man stretched himself and said, "let's hurry on our way while it's not too hot."

Xiao Zhou followed him in silence.

In this way, the old and the young are heading for the hinterland of the wilderness against the sunset.

……

half a month later.

The two dusty people came to a stream. In the wilderness full of sand and limestone, it was lucky to see the river.

However, the monsters here are also the most dense.

Xiao Zhou holds a killing God knife (Zheng Feiyue's parting gift) and kills the old man on his back. They go all the way up the river.

However, there are too many monsters.

Xiao Zhou, who kept forging ahead with the killer knife, finally stopped somewhere after endless fighting and gasped: "I can't walk anymore. I can't walk anymore. If five kinds of people are here, where can I go? Lao Zheng, who killed thousands of knives!"

The old man patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "it's OK. If you go up again, you're afraid you'll encounter the demon emperor. We can't afford to provoke you. Although there are no green mountains this time, there is a beautiful water show. That's enough."

Alive, the old man stepped into the stream.

Xiao Zhou stood on the bank, holding a killer knife in his hand, and looked at him quietly. The sadness in his eyes could not stop: "you taught me that as a seed, I was born to blossom and bear fruit."

The old man stood quietly in the stream and said, "flowering and fruiting is the process, falling leaves and returning to the root is the result. Now I want to return to the root, right here."

Xiao Zhou began to tremble: "come up and go back to the mountain with me. I raise all my life and death. What's the matter if I die in a place where birds don't shit? I don't even have a paper burner!"

"The dead green mountain is worthless. The mission of tongtianmen can only be carried out if the root is left elsewhere." the old man smiled, "if you live your life, you will fall this poisonous root!"

When you finish speaking,

The old man sank slowly to the bottom of the water.

"No!"

Xiao Zhou jumped into the water and grabbed the old man.

The old man's body emitted a hazy blue light, and a strong force bounced Xiao Zhou away.

Xiao Zhou fell into the dust, looked at the old man with a hazy blue light, and burst into tears: "really? Really? Why do you have to be like this?"

The old man looked at him and said slowly, "the great wilderness is about to usher in great changes, and the east bank is the first to bear the brunt... If you want to help Zheng Feiyue, you should hurry back to the mountain and integrate your hands... Goodbye, child."

The blue light disappeared, the water rippled slightly, and then returned to calm.

Xiao Zhou climbed to the river and stretched his hands to the river, but there was nothing in the water. At a glance, there was not even a playing fish at the bottom of the river, which was particularly clear.

"No!"

Xiao Zhou knelt down and shouted.

At this time, a green leaf, with a smell incompatible with the wilderness, slowly fell.

Xiao Zhou cried loudly!
