C80
Qian Lia had already changed his clothes and was still dressed in pitch black. Chu Hee knew that he was heavily injured, but under the cover of the black robes, the man looked like he was unharmed.
Chu Hee had wanted to help him out initially, but seeing that he was directly seated under a rock beside a tree, he gave up. Now that they were face to face, it was easier to take care of him, even though he did not know what he could take care of Qian Lia for.
"That's right, drink this." Slapping his head, Chu Hee remembered that Qing Lin had thrown the life medicine on the ground and immediately gave it to him.
Although this normal life medicine did not help Qian Lia much, but before Qing Lin's magic recovery, he could only use this to heal his injuries.
Shaking the glass bottle that was filled with yellow liquid in his hand, Qian Lia could not help but let out a mocking laugh, "Tsk tsk, it's been so many years since I've drank this stuff."
Ever since he advanced to the top, he hadn't touched any kind of healing potion.
The self-deprecating voice caused Chu Hee to worry about his injuries once again. Qing Lin still had a long time to meditate, and he didn't know if Qian Lia could hold on until now …
Qian Lia raised his head, drained all the water in his mouth, and then threw the bottle to the side. His smooth, nimble, and magnanimous movements reminded Chu Hee of a well-trained soldier …
Since ancient times, warriors preferred black, not because this color attracted much attention. However, once they wore black, they wouldn't be easily discovered if they were injured. The red blood mixed with the black clothes, making it impossible to see …
As generals, if the soldiers saw that they were injured, it would definitely affect the morale of the troops. Thus, they would usually pretend as if nothing had happened and continue to kill until the end of the war, or even their lives …
Just like the current Qian Lia, he had sustained so many injuries. Chu Hee was simply unable to estimate, because he was covered in black, which covered up everything very well …
"Will you die …" With a twitch of her lips, the sound came out. There was no time to stop it.
Qian Lia did not answer, but the look in his eyes became very strange. Chu Hee shrank his neck as he knew that he had asked a foolish question, but he could no longer take it back …
Qian Lia didn't know what he was looking at, he only felt extremely nervous, and his entire body felt extremely uncomfortable. In the instant he turned his head back, he could even see his own figure being imprinted on those colorless, water-like pupils.
He was only asking this because he was worried about him. Did he need to kill him with his sight …
"Come here." Qian Lia ordered, but his eyes never left Chu Hee, the clear voice was much deeper, bringing with it an irresistible majesty.
Subconsciously, Chu Hee's heels began to move. He was only about two meters away from Qian Lia, but with such a short journey, it seemed so long …
His feet moved mechanically, slowly, until he was in front of the man sitting on the ground.
The man's hand went up, grabbing the back of his neck and forcefully pulling …
Following Qian Lia's brute force, Chu Hee's waist bent and a pungent stench of blood immediately pervaded the air.
Chu Hee frowned.
"I won't die." Their foreheads seemed to have collided together as Qian Lia stared at him, or perhaps it could be said that he was staring at Chu Hee in the eyes that were just inches away, as if he was swearing an oath, he gritted his teeth and spoke viciously.
Qian Lia couldn't tell if he was angry or not because of the battle's afterglow. His expression looked like he was extremely excited, but at the same time, like he had received a great humiliation and was trying to force himself to endure.
He breathed heavily, his chest heaving up and down. His face was red and his neck was full of veins and veins, as if he was exerting a lot of strength.
A Qian Lia like this, was somewhat terrifying.
Breathing out, his breath landed on Chu Hee's face, it was extremely hot.
He didn't dodge, and didn't remove the hand Qian Lia pressed on the back of his neck that was even hotter. Chu Hee only looked straight at the pair of colorless eyes, and continued to stare just like that …
There was no escape for him.
He and Qing Lin were actually not the slightest bit alike.
Even if they had the same taste and the same looks, even if they could imitate each other to perfection, the current Chu Hee could easily distinguish them, and it had nothing to do with the color of their hair.
Why did I foolishly mistake them for something …
Regardless of personality or style, they were both completely different.
That was why Qing Lin was so angry back then.
Chu Hee wanted to ask him if he was alright, but the result was the same whether he asked or not. He did not know how to cure, so he was unable to help Qian Lia, and just by mentioning it, Qian Lia would focus all his attention on his wounds. This way, it would take a long time before Qing Lin finished meditating, and at most, he would be able to distract him.
But what could he do?
He didn't understand Qian Lia at all, and they didn't even have a common tongue. The past could only be described as unbearable to look back on, and Chu Hee felt that he and Qian Lia wouldn't even think about talking about the past.
The impression that Qian Lia gave him was that of a bad youth. He liked to fight, had a bad temper, liked to bully people, and he even liked to cause trouble.
Thinking of this, Chu Hee vaguely remembered watching a rule of law program once. The topic seemed to be about how teenagers went down to the abyss of depravity, and the program concluded with a few points, he could only remember the harm done to single-parent families as well as online games.
At the time, he scoffed. A single parent family might affect a child's personality, but online gaming was definitely a crime that some unscrupulous experts wanted to commit.
Then what was the reason for Qian Lia's personality? This world without online games …
The man's heart suddenly throbbed.
That sad childhood...
What sort of environment did he grow up in? How did he grit his teeth and swear that he would survive? What kind of mood did he have? How did he train himself to reach his current level …
To a child, they were abandoned by their parents, framed by their loved ones, and even chased down by their own people …
If it was him, he definitely wouldn't be so strong.
Even if he found out the reason later on, that he had become a sacrifice for the sake of this so-called honor, Chu Hee knew that if this happened to him, he definitely wouldn't forgive his father, nor would he spare any strength for him …
Why did he have to endure this?
But, Qian Lia did not, he forgave everything.
This guy wasn't as bad as he looked. On the contrary, he was very kind.
Chu Hee's expression suddenly became complicated, Qian Lia did not know what he was thinking, but he closed the distance between them once again, and stressed with his voice -
"No matter how difficult the battle is, I won't die."
"I know." Unexpectedly, Chu Hee quickly replied.
Qian Lia took a deep breath, and exhaled with a very slow speed …
With these words, it was enough. In the countless sword wielding battles that he had fought in, there was only one person who would believe that he would return alive, and there was only one person who would make him return alive.
Even though this person didn't belong to him.
He didn't understand him, so he couldn't reveal his true feelings to him.
However, Qian Lia did not care.
Abruptly releasing his hand, he turned around, causing Qian Lia to no longer look at him.
Chu Hee was a little confused. Why did this guy change his mind so quickly?
Did I make him angry? No, he only said that he knew …
After waiting for a while, seeing that Qian Lia did not have any plans to bother with him, Chu Hee simply returned to Qing Lin's side and sat down, but his gaze was still on the person who had turned his head away.
had not woken up yet, the wound on his body was no longer bleeding, his breathing had calmed down and his complexion had returned to normal. Chu Hee, who was usually afraid of the cold environment, did not feel awkward, he leaned against the tree with his mouth closed and closed his eyes.
He wasn't sleepy at all. He just didn't want to open his eyes.
He was recalling the battle before.
Qing Lin and Qian Lia had been severely injured, no matter if it was their dignity or their bodies.
This should be a huge blow to them.
However, they had to defeat this opponent …
"Do you know why we lost?" Qian Lia turned his head, his voice sounded extremely ethereal. If not for the two of them being clear-headed, Chu Hee was not sure if these words were spoken to him.
"Because we don't have any sort of tacit understanding, not even the slightest bit."
After answering his own question, Qian Lia fell into deep thought again, leaving Chu Hee to think about the question slowly.
Without the tacit understanding from the past, they didn't even have the coordination of a normal comrade. This was the final conclusion.
If they had cooperated well, they might not have lost so badly.
In the past, when they were young, they had never experienced such a thing …
As time passed, not only did his personality and temperament change …
Qian Lia and Qing Lin both knew that they were already unable to return.
"..."
After Qing Lin woke up, the first thing he said after silently healing Qian Lia was — —
'Go out first and look for a few tasks to do.
Dual-player quest. A quest that required the cooperation of both sides.
With that, Qian Lia tacitly agreed to Qing Lin's suggestion.
They left the Lightning Valley and used the fastest method. Qing Lin brought Chu Hee, who was in the strong wind, since they had found the location of the Sword of Battle Drum, there was no need for them to waste anymore time. In the remaining time, they needed to think of a way to take it.
As soon as he stepped out of the valley, he met a surprised old man. He did not expect them to return alive, so he asked him about the nearby towns. The three rushed to that place without stopping.
