The days when I helped the protagonist come to power [System]

Xin Mu looked at Hei Luomi "joyfully" running towards the silver-haired young man—when he passed by, Xin clearly felt the contemptuous and complacent glance from the other party.

This guy... is really childish.Xin thought.

Compared with the joy of Hei Luomi, Erxi was more pleased to meet again, he looked at Hei Luomi who was alone, and said in surprise.

"Did you walk here alone?"

Hei Luomi nodded immediately, with a little pride in her bright eyes, like a child waiting for an adult to praise: "Although it took a lot of effort...but I finally caught up."

This kid can do it!Ersey thought.It seems that even if the protagonist's position is robbed, this guy is still lucky.But... what's with that "come and praise me" expression on her face!

"...Not bad." Ersie commented stiffly, stared at by those sparkling eyes.

Hei Luomi immediately showed a very happy smile, and a faint pink appeared on his cheeks, and he scratched his face in embarrassment.

"Compared to Brother Er... you are still far behind."

Ersie: "..."

This guy's character is much worse than before. Hey... I'm so uncomfortable!

"Ah, it's getting late." Heluomi looked up at the sunset, which had already set for most of the time, and was about to grab Erxi's arm very naturally, "I found a very safe place on the way here. Stay overnight and come with me."

A sharp arrow shot towards him, Heluomi withdrew his hand quickly, and the arrow passed between him and Erxi.

"You can't go with him." Xin put down the bow and arrow in his hand, and looked at Erxi blankly, "He..."

Suddenly, the ground trembled.

Countless frightened birds suddenly flew up from the snowy forest in the distance, covering the sky like dark clouds, flying across the sky darkly, and at the same time, the earth trembled again.

Ersie and the three of them looked at each other in surprise.

"what happened?"

The peaceful snow-capped mountain soon ceased to be peaceful. More birds started up from the forest, among which were many flying monsters. They all rushed down the mountain as if they were avoiding something. There were so many of them that they almost covered the entire area. piece of sky.

The tremors of the earth became more and more obvious and more frequent, the snow on the trees was shaken off one after another, the cold wind picked up again, the flying snowflakes and ice crystals dazzled the eyes, it seemed that another storm was coming.Erxi looked at the direction in which Asuka was startled, and had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Just wait here, I'll be right back."

After dropping this sentence, Ersie rushed into the fir forest quickly.

***

Ersie ran quickly in the forest, and quickly selected a fir tree that was obviously taller and taller than the surrounding trees, and climbed it vigorously.

Stepping on the top of the treetops, the line of sight is obviously much wider than that below, and the trembling of the ground has not stopped. Erxi looked into the distance and saw trees in the snow forest in the distance constantly falling down, as if they were being leveled by something. Wherever it is, it is unstoppable.

Erxi squinted his eyes, trying to look more carefully, but when the trees fell, a huge snow fog was also thrown up, and he couldn't see anything clearly in the whiteness, except for the light of the magic scroll, but most of them flashed Fleeting, soon lost in the jungle snow.

The earth was still trembling, and the force that leveled the jungle was getting closer and closer. The cold wind was whistling, bringing a bleak chill, and also a distant voice—Ersy heard, the snow curtain In the middle, there was the roar of monsters and the screams of examinees. There were no longer the lights of magic scrolls flickering in the jungle. Instead, they were sent out one after another due to fatal trauma, symbolizing the failure of the examination qualification.

"It's the beast tide...!!!" The cold wind brought more and more distressed voices, conveying the same frightening message, "The beast tide is coming!!!"

***

When Erxi rushed back to the open space, Heluomi and the others were still waiting for him, but there was one more Cecil.

"What's wrong with him?" Erxi looked at the unconscious gray-haired boy in surprise, who was being carried on Xin's back at this moment.

Xin gave Heluomi a cold look, while the latter looked at Erxi seriously: "It's just a bump on the head, it's not a big problem."

"But we have a big problem." Erxi's expression showed a rare anxiety, "The beast horde will come here soon, if we are involved, we will all be out!"

There is no need to say anything more.No matter the human race or the demon race, they are no strangers to the beast tide. There are many reasons for the beast tide, but there is often only one ending: once encountered head-on, there is almost no possibility of survival. Disappeared, as if wiped off the map.

Even if there were all kinds of unhappiness before, few people are in the mood to care about it now.Erxi lifted Cehir off Xin's back and put it on her own.Although it was shameless, the reality made people bow their heads. Erxi looked away awkwardly, not looking at the shocked blond boy.

"I'll carry someone so you can go faster." Ersey whispered, "You lead the way, and we'll go with you."

***

The three of them were running fast on the snow mountain.

Looking at the blond boy running in the front, Erxi sighed in his heart for the ten thousandth time.

If the system is online at this time, I'm afraid he will be accused of being a traitor... But what can he do!I can't use the innate skills of the demons, and I can't do anything about the beast tide, and Xin is the "protagonist", as long as I follow him, the possibility of escaping the catastrophe is much greater... Although the means are a bit dark, but the big, big deal I owe him a favor!

Soon, they ran away from the previous low valley and began to run up the snow mountain.Standing on a high place and looking back, one could already clearly see a flood of black beasts.The setting sun was about to completely set behind the snow-capped mountains. If they couldn't find a safe place to hide before the sun set, their situation would be even more dangerous after the darkness completely fell.

"The tide of beasts has diverted." Hei Luomi was in charge of the rear of the palace, and had been closely observing the situation down the mountain. "There is a wave... coming up the mountain!"

Once the beast horde goes up the mountain, the ground vibrations caused are likely to bring about an avalanche, and the current situation is immediately more severe than before.Xin looked around, abandoned the main road altogether, and pointed to a small road on the right.

"Go over there."

Hei Luomi showed hesitation, obviously not convinced by the other party's guidance, but Erxi had already changed direction quickly.

"Let's go! Follow up!"

Hei Luomi's chest was suffocated, and the depression in his heart increased a little.He couldn't understand why Erxi had been hostile and resistant to Xin before, but now he suddenly trusted him so much. What happened between these two people during the two days when he was away?

***

A group of people hurried on the small road. The snow here was deeper and thicker than that on the main road. Every time they stepped on it, they would sink deeply. Not only did the running speed drop significantly, but the energy consumed also doubled.

"Let me recite it for a while." While running, Xin looked back at Erxi from time to time.With one more person on his back, the young man was much more difficult to walk in the snow than any of them.

Erxi shook his head, the physical strength of the demons was superior to that of the human race, not to mention that Cehir was a teenager at this time, Erxi didn't pay attention to this weight at all, even if he maintained the same posture for a long time, his hands would feel a little numb .Just as Ersie was about to change his position, he suddenly felt the person on his back rubbing against his neck, and then a vague sound came.

"Hmm...? Where am I... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!"

Erxi was so frightened that he almost threw the other party out: "What the hell is your name?!"

Cecil, who was awake, looked at Erxi in horror, his voice trembling with his body: "I... how could I be carried by you..."

He only remembered that when he went out to look for wild fruits, he was suddenly hit on the head by something, and then he lost consciousness, but when he woke up, he saw such a horrifying scene.

"Since you're awake, come down and run by yourself." Hei Luomi caught up and said coolly.

Sehir immediately jumped off Ersie in a panic.

Afterwards, during the running process, Cehir quickly learned the whole story, and the eyes that looked at Erxi were all wrong—what!At a critical moment, it turned out that this guy ran for his life behind my back? ?

……

It sucks to be helped by someone you hate!This is simply an unbearable shame of life! !

"Xin, you should have slapped me a few times to wake me up." Cecil said with a sad face.

"Slapped, you didn't respond." Xin said seriously.

Cecil: "..."

No wonder I felt a burning pain on my face after waking up!

The twilight in the sky is getting deeper and deeper, and the afterglow of the setting sun on the horizon is getting weaker and weaker, until it is forced to the horizon by the night and becomes a slender ray of afterglow.The night wind picked up suddenly, and it hurt his face like a knife, and the roar of the beast tide behind him was getting closer and closer, as if the whole snow mountain was trembling.

Suddenly, Xin who was running at the front stopped.Cehir, who followed closely behind, also stopped soon, followed by Erxi and Heromi.

There is no road ahead.

They... ran to the edge of the cliff.

****Boundary Line of Reincarnation****

I have a vague feeling that something is changing in this world.

This kind of change is difficult for people in it to notice, but I can see the change of the world with my own eyes from the perspective of a bystander.

The most obvious manifestation is that the frequency of animal hordes has increased.

I have been to many places, and the borders of the Demon Continent are far farther and wider than people imagined, and the races living in this land are far more diverse and diverse than what people are familiar with.In some extremely remote and backward tribal villages, they don't even have a language. However, these primitive and backward races still exist. In an isolated environment, silence survives tenaciously.

But now, they are disappearing one by one.

——The culprit who made them disappear was the beast tide.

In fact, this is not surprising at first. After all, there are far more monsters in remote areas than in the hinterland of the mainland. It is normal for one or two to appear every year. The number can be as many as six or seven times a year.

But that's not the worst part.

The most frightening thing is: those villages that were attacked by the beast tide and disappeared will really disappear forever.

In the next reincarnation, in the next reincarnation, there will be no trace of them.

It seems that there is an invisible big hand secretly manipulating the beast tide, quietly erasing the traces of the edge of this continent.I can see the appearance, but not the truth.

This feeling makes me uneasy.
