Last Totem Novel - Chapter 202

Chapter 202 Crisis

Time quietly flowed, minutes and seconds passed like this …

Tie Zha, who was immersed in his memories, suddenly felt an inexplicable chill. He raised his head blankly, and his gaze gradually closed. The scene in front of him gradually became clear. At some unknown time, an unfamiliar figure appeared in the tent.

The moment he saw it clearly, Tie Zha’s pupils contracted, and a strong sense of danger invaded him. This figure appeared out of thin air like a ghost and quietly arrived not far from him. At this moment, the people in the tent were coming and going, but no one noticed anything unusual!

In an instant, he felt a bone-chilling chill rising from the soles of his feet and quickly spreading to his entire body. The pores on his skin contracted sharply, as if they had suddenly fallen into ice water. However, he, who had been on the verge of death for many years, quickly calmed down. He stared fixedly and saw that the man was hiding in a gray cloth robe from head to toe. He stood there motionless, like a still stone statue.

At this moment, that person suddenly moved and walked towards him. The pace was neither hurried nor slow, neither light nor heavy, but it carried an indescribable momentum, as if everything that blocked his path would be shattered. In an instant, a mountain-like pressure enveloped Tie Zha, causing him to feel as if his entire body had been poured with cement. Even a slight movement of his fingers would cause him to feel extremely exhausted.

“Stop!” “Who are you!” “Don’t move!” As the man began to move, the soldiers who were busy in the tent finally noticed his presence and shouted as they surrounded him.

The man immediately stopped and looked around. At this moment, an invisible force seemed to be spinning around him. All the soldiers who ran over suddenly flew into the air and tumbled backwards.

“Tell them to retreat.” An emotionless, mechanically synthesized voice came from the grey cloth headgear.

In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, Tie Zha waved his hand and signaled the soldiers to leave the tent. Moments later, he, Qin Ke’er and Mu Qian He were the only ones left in Nuo Da’s tent. The gray-robed man walked up to him, pointed at him, and said in a mechanically synthesized voice, “In thirty seconds, there will be no living people here other than you.”

“Who are you!” Mu Qianhe suddenly stood up and shouted as he stared at the grey-robed man. Qin Ke’er hurriedly stepped forward and hugged her arm to prevent this good sister from being too impulsive.

“Three, four, five” The grey-robed man calmly announced the number, and a murderous intent spread out as if it were real …

“Let’s go out first.” Qin Ke’er forcefully pulled Mu Qian He, but the latter remained motionless, stubbornly confronting the gray-robed man.

“Seven.”

“Eight.”

“Nine.” Every time the gray-robed man reported a number, it was like a heavy hammer smashing into his heart.

“Hurry up and leave.” Tie Zha said in a deep voice. This person was not someone he could deal with, much less someone they could deal with.

“Eleven.”

“Twelve.”

Mu Qianhe turned to look at Tie Zha with a determined gaze.

“Thirteen.”

“I told you to leave!” Tie Zha opened his eyes wide and shouted loudly!

“Fifteen.”

“Sixteen.”

“Qianhe, trust the Guild Leader, okay?” Qin Ke’er desperately pulled on her good friend, her forehead covered in cold sweat.

“Eighteen.”

“Nineteen.”

Mu Qianhe looked at Tie Zha, bit, and left.

“Twenty, twenty one, twenty two, twenty three, twenty four, twenty-five, twenty-six” The gray-robed man counted the numbers emotionlessly until the two women disappeared from sight.

When there were only two people left in the tent, the grey-robed man slightly lifted his head and revealed a white mask. The edges of the mask were engraved with dark golden patterns, appearing mysterious and gorgeous. Then. The gray-robed man stood quietly in front of him without saying anything or taking any further action.

Only then did he seriously examine the gray-robed man in front of him. This person was about the same height as him. He might be slightly taller, or he might be slightly shorter. Judging from his physique, the other party was neither fat nor skinny, so he could not guess his gender.

“Friend, please sit down.” Tie Zha made a generous “please” gesture. In any case, the matter had already reached this point. If the other party wanted to harm him, he didn’t seem to have any other choice. He decided to relax and figure out the other party’s intentions first.

However, the gray-robed man continued to stand there as if he hadn’t heard him, as if he was watching him through a mask.

Tie Zha’s entire body was shivering from the sight, and he made a slightly embarrassed gesture of “please” again. This time, the gray-robed man finally moved, but instead of sitting down, he took two steps forward and came to the iron slag sofa. He looked down at him condescendingly.

At this moment, the two of them were very close. Tie Zha, who was sitting on the sofa, needed to raise his head to see the mask of the grey-robed man.

Tie Zha frowned slightly. He was not used to being so close to others, especially when facing strangers. Just as he was about to move away, the gray-robed man raised his hand without warning and completely lifted the hood. In an instant, her long hair fell down like a waterfall. He was stunned and stopped moving.

Then, she stared at him and slowly took off her mask …

Time seemed to have stopped at this moment. Under the pure white mask, there was a face so beautiful that the sun and moon would lose their brilliance, and the stars would quietly dim. At this moment, this beautiful face was as tranquil as ever, like a thousand-year-old lake and an iceberg.

Her gaze seemed to have pierced through time, crossing countless boundless years, awakening her sleeping memories.

Suddenly, she opened her arms to him and smiled. Instantly, she blossomed like a hundred flowers and the glaciers melted.

“Aren’t you going to give it a try?” She called softly as she stared at him, who was in a daze.

Looking at her picturesque face and listening to her soft whispers, he couldn’t help but stand up and hug her deeply.

They embraced each other warmly and affectionately, like hot water in the deep winter and campfire in the cold wind.

“Xiao Yu misses you so much, really misses you …” She hugged him hard and whispered in his ear. Two years ago, when she learned that he had committed a great crime and was about to face endless suffering, her heart almost shattered. She really wanted to look for him all over the world. Even if it was the Abyss or hell, she was willing to accompany him. However, she could not help but repay her adoptive mother’s kindness that was as deep as the ocean, and she could not just leave everything behind and follow him around the world. Her sister still needed her, and the sisters of the Rain Prayer Temple still needed her.

Responsibility and love, she chose responsibility, such as before, such as now, such as the future.

At that time, she had made a decision. Since she could not give him love, she would give him eternal waiting. She could never marry, never love anyone else. In this boundless world, this was the only thing she could do.

He hugged her tightly and could feel her heartbeat. She was as cold as ice, and solemn as she was, but at this moment, her heart was beating faster for him, and she was as passionate as fire. This kind of genuine affection was truly hard for him to endure.

He felt as if he had poured a Schisandra bottle into his heart. He was both flattered and sighed. If he loved her, he shouldn’t harm her. If he didn’t love her, why would he meet her?

However, the warmth at this moment made him miss it endlessly. How could he let go of such a person? How could he let go of such a person? Even if his body was shattered, even if he was cut into thousands of pieces, he was still unwilling to leave.

The enchanted, dreamy hug lasted for a long time, until both of their arms went numb before they reluctantly parted.

“Young man, how do you feel?” Mu Yu Ling Lan, who was sitting upright in front of him, returned to his previous reserved and dignified manner. However, there was still a faint smile between his eyebrows.

“Not bad.” Tie Zha said casually, with a “not rare, not strange” flavor.

“Is it just okay?” Mu Yu Ling Lan asked solemnly.

“Yes.” Tie Zha nodded and replied casually.

“Young man, do you need the blessing of the Rain God?” Mu Yu Ling Lan looked at him and asked seriously.

“No need.” Tie Zha firmly refused with a straight face, his attitude very clear.

“Those who resist blessings will be punished by God.” Mu Yu Ling Lan threatened calmly.

“Uh …” Tie Zha finally remembered that the person in front of him was no longer the little brat who had followed him around the streets and alleys. Instead, he was the current Goddess of Happiness of Notre Dame, the Vice President of the Student Union of the Central Silver City Military Academy, and the hot candidate for the next Moon God Priest. However, none of this mattered. Most importantly, she was a peak Eighth Order Psionic Adept, an expert who almost killed him with a single kick! Therefore, in order to avoid an awkward situation, he had to make some concessions.

“Mm” Tie Zha nodded thoughtfully and said sincerely, “Actually, it feels pretty good.”

“Really?” Mu Yu Ling Lan stared at him as if she wanted to see through his heart.

“Really.” Tie Zha said piously, if he really had such a pious expression.

However, the wise goddess had already seen through everything …

“I don’t believe it.” She immediately expressed her attitude.

“Friend, please believe me.” Tie Zha said sincerely and helplessly. At this moment, if Qin Ke’er, Mu Qian He, including Mu Yu Qin Xin, Bi Qinglan, and You Ge saw such a docile side of him, they would definitely be shocked from ear to ear. However, if it was Lena, it wouldn’t be possible. She was already used to it. In her eyes, Tie Zha was like this …

“The gods will occasionally punish those who lie.” Mu Yu Ling Lan said leisurely.

“You’re just a little follower. What are you being so arrogant about?” The rabbit was so anxious that it even bit people, not to mention the wolves in the wilderness. Tie Zha immediately threw himself out.

“You” Mu Yu Ling Lan blushed and gritted her teeth as she said, “You are the one who follows.” Tie Zha coldly snorted in disdain.

At this moment, Mu Yu Ling Lan changed the topic and said with a cold face, “Student Sa Cha Cha, did you know that you just brushed past Reaper?”

“Huh?” Tie Zha tilted her head and looked at her in puzzlement.

Halfway through, Mu Yu Ling Lan seemed to recall something as she raised her head to look at the top of the tent. “Xiaoqing came here to personally get rid of the people who harassed Ling Lan. As a result …” After a moment of silence, she turned to look at Tie Zha and muttered, “That day … the person hiding under the bed … shouldn’t …”
