I Was Once a Legend

Cui Zuojing dragged Dong Zheng ashore step by step.

Water dripped from the boy's hair and clothes, and his black hair stuck to his temples.

Letting go, Dong Zheng lay motionless on his back on the beach. Cui Zuojing used a Tang knife to pick apart the thread sewn on the bow tie of the "heart-sewing bear". The water-soaked bear finally got free, dizzy fell to the ground.

"Can you come?" Cui Zuojing pointed to the drowning Dong Zheng.

Xiong Xiong tilted his head and blinked his small black bean-like eyes, expressing his powerlessness.

"Then I'll do it." Cui Zuojing murmured to himself. He tore off the collar of Dong Zheng's jacket, pinched Dong Zheng's chin, put his fingers into his mouth and pulled out his tongue, and then hugged Dong Zheng's upper body. Get up so that your shoulders can just touch his stomach.

rise--

Cui Zuojing took a deep breath, hugged Dong Zheng's legs, put him on his shoulders, and stood up with difficulty.

The boy staggered two steps, and finally stabilized his figure.

Good weight.

Under the watchful eyes of the little bear, Cui Zuojing trotted fast with Dong Zheng on his shoulders. Following his pace, Dong Zheng's body bounced on his shoulders, and his abdomen just pressed against his shoulders, squeezing out the water inside.

Dong Zheng's tongue was sticking out, water was dripping from his mouth.Cui Zuojing turned his head to look, and almost died laughing on the spot.

After running for two laps, Cui Zuojing felt that it was almost done, and put Dong Zheng down on his back again. He tried the man's breathing, but it was still weak and barely felt.

Drowning and physical exhaustion are indeed a bit difficult to handle.

Cui Zuojing knelt beside him, raised Dong Zheng's head to make sure the trachea was unobstructed, squeezed his mouth open, and leaned over.

Dong Zheng's lips were very cold, and the tip of his nose rubbed against Cui Zuojing's side face, as the boy blew it again and again, as if he was rubbing that small piece of skin repeatedly.

A few seconds later, Cui Zuojing raised his head, and began to press down on Dong Zheng's chest vigorously. Half a minute later, he bent down again.

After going on like this for 5 minutes, the man with his eyes closed coughed suddenly, and a large jet of water spewed out of his nasal cavity, then he frowned and began to cough violently.

Cui Zuojing was sprayed on the face by him, he didn't care to wipe it off, he quickly supported Dong Zheng to let his upper body lean against his arms, so as not to choke him with the water that was finally discharged.

After waiting for a while, Dong Zheng finally opened his eyes slowly.

As soon as he looked up, he saw the boy's side face, and was stunned for a while.

Cui Zuojing sighed sincerely, finally he was able to put Dong Zheng down, he picked up a dead branch, poked the man's face with it, and said: "Look at you, I'll go back for a while Now, what would you do without me?"

Before Dong Zheng could speak, he threw the branch and said, "I don't blame you either. Brain domain developers generally have limited physical fitness. If it was Fu Zheyou just now, he might be out of breath now. But if the body allows It can be stronger within the range, can it be done?"

Dong Zheng opened his mouth, and after choking on the water, his voice was so hoarse that even he himself felt terrible: "I know, I will increase the intensity of training when I go back."

Cui Zuojing was satisfied.

Dong Zheng waited for a few minutes and felt much better. He sat up on the ground, frowned slightly, and asked, "How did you save me just now?"

"Artificial respiration and cardiopulmonary resuscitation." Cui Zuojing said as a matter of course, "What? Do you mind?"

"No." Dong Zheng denied it categorically, he turned his head and looked at the huge sunset floating on the sea level in the distance, and pursed his lower lip where Cui Zuojing couldn't see it.

Gabriel II, which was once extremely luxurious, has almost completely sunk, leaving only a flaming red spot, and the sea over there is surging waves, even if it is thousands of meters away, you can still see the giant squid waving from a distance. tentacle.

Bodies continued to wash ashore.

[Main task: to survive/destroy the demon species]

At the same moment, the task interface of the box finally appeared in front of everyone again.

"Demon Seed?" Dong Zheng repeated in a low voice. He told Cui Zuojing the task, and the boy asked, "Is the box you found before still there?"

Dong Zheng: "I brought too many things, so Alan took them."

The two of them were drenched, and the sun at dusk shone on the sea, the beach, and the dense virgin forest behind them, coating everything with golden light.

They took off all the clothes on their bodies and wrung them out before putting them on, so as to save them from catching a cold again and increase unnecessary losses.

After finishing all this, Cui Zuojing and Dong Zheng set off along the shore to look for traces of other people.

Wang Que struggled to get up.

Lin Hangzhi had recovered a little, but Dong Linhai was still in a coma, his wound was bleeding all the time, and the beach under him was stained red.

It was high tide, and the seawater gradually flooded to Dong Linhai's ankles.

Wang Que and Lin Hangzhi dragged Dong Linhai to a place where the land was completely dry.Wang Que's long hair was wet and dripping with water. She sat on her knees, hugged her knees with her hands, and curled herself into a ball.

She is cold.

With his upper body bare, Lin Hangzhi took out a waterproof bag from his pants pocket and gave it to Wang Que, which contained two flint and steel: "I'm going to find some firewood."

Five or six minutes later, Lin Hangzhi came back with a handful of branches. He used dead leaves to cushion the bottom, and the two worked together to light the bonfire.

The small flames were jumping, emitting light and heat. Wang Que stretched out his hands to warm his palms, and then pressed them on Dong Linhai's chest, trying to keep the blood loss of the young man from losing his body temperature.

After checking Dong Linhai's wound, Lin Hangzhi loosened the clothes on his arm to prevent the extremity from being over-extruded and necrotic: "The heart-stitching bear is with Dong Zheng, and Victor is following Alan, we have to find them quickly Just do it."

Wang Que thought about it, picked up some dead leaves, wet them with sea water, and covered them on the campfire.

Thin smoke emerged quickly and drifted obliquely towards the sky.

"Let others come to us." Wang Que said softly.

Allen was the one who landed the most smoothly in the team. He swam with his head depressed all the way, and landed quickly without encountering sharks or squids.

After getting ashore, he still had a lot of strength. After dealing with his wet self, Allen looked up and looked around, and saw a touch of white flying wobbly in the sky.

He trotted a few steps in the direction, stretched out his hand, and caught Victor who fell straight.

"How does it feel to fly in the sky?"

"Great." Victor was exhausted, and he was not yet able to master the power of his servants, but now it seems that he is much better than when he was just unsealed.

At least he's still sane.

Alan hugged Victor, and after making sure that the box Dong Zheng gave him was still on him, he went to look for other people.

Wang Que didn't know when he fell asleep in a daze.

The voice of the whispered conversation around her was vague and not clear, and she couldn't hear the content clearly, so she had to let herself become drowsy in the ocean of exhaustion.

"Look, she is so good at painting, she will definitely be admitted to CAFA in the future."

"I haven't seen a student as talented as you for a long time."

"Wang Que, you draw beautifully. Did you imagine this light and shadow?"

"..."

The crowd was bustling and noisy, all with their backs to her, looking at the paintings on the wall.She was holding a paintbrush and a small bucket, behind everyone, listening to the endless praise, she fell into a dazed panic.

The girl with the rabbit headgear walked up to her, took her arm affectionately, and seemed to be smiling and said:

"Wang Que, how did you do the perspective of that painting, teach me."

Wang Que turned to look at her, the rabbit hood smiled at her, his eyes were red as if they were about to bleed.

The bucket in his hand suddenly began to shake slightly, and a drop of water jumped out and splashed on the back of Wang Que's hand.She lowered her head in amazement to see translucent worms slowly crawling out of the bucket. The worms were finger-sized and felt like molluscs. In the breathing holes on its back, several dense tentacles formed a bunch. It was swaying slightly.

She screamed in terror and dropped the bucket.

The bugs were sprinkled all over the ground together with the water.

Everyone turned to look at her, with countless pairs of eyes, reproachful, disappointed, and puzzled.

Wang Que was at a loss, she held the paintbrush tightly, as if only it could give her strength.

"--go to hell!"

Wang Que gasped suddenly and woke up.

"It should have something to do with religious legends—" Cui Zuojing was interrupted by her movement in the middle of his words, and looked over with Dong Zheng.

"woke up?"

It was already dark when she was lying on the ground, with Cui Zuojing's coat still covering her body, while the boys sat around the bonfire, stripping off their upper bodies and drying their clothes.

Everyone is there.

Lin Hangzhi reached out and touched her forehead, and said, "Fortunately, I don't have a fever."

"……What's wrong with me?"

"I was overworked, soaked in sea water and blown cold wind, and passed out." Lin Hangzhi said, "Fortunately, Alan arrived in time with his uncle, so there was nothing serious."

Dong Linhai's injured arm was as good as ever, and the heart-stitching bear lay on the boy's lap to dry his body, and he was concentrating on roasting the hare in his hand.

Hearing that Wang Que woke up, he turned his head immediately, his eyes lit up, and he smiled and said, "Thanks for your hard work, it will be baked in a while, eat something to replenish your strength."

"Is it cold?" Dong Zheng asked her.

Wang Que nodded. Her clothes were still wet. When she was unconscious, Lin Hangzhi said that it was better to change the wet clothes. However, all the people sitting there were male compatriots, and no one could help her.

"Put on mine first." Dong Zheng's blouse was almost baked, he gave the clothes to Wang Que, and everyone immediately turned their backs and continued the conversation just now, leaving room for her to change clothes.

Holding Dong Zheng's clothes, Wang Que couldn't help being moved.

She sniffed, took off her soaked top as quickly as possible, and put on Dong Zheng's.

The underwear was also completely wet, and she could only squeeze out all the water in the sponge pad, which was barely uncomfortable.

Wang Que sat over to warm up with everyone, and Allen took the wet clothes that Wang Que had replaced, and dried them on a rack tied with wooden sticks.

Men are very comfortable shirtless, and inevitably compare their figures with each other. Dong Linhai, who has been practicing sports, naturally has a good figure, and Allen, who sees his abs, is jealous.

Alan rolled up his trouser legs to his knees, revealing two hairy legs. Dong Linhai touched the hair on his legs and said, "You are a primeval forest, right?"

Allen: "Caucasians just have more hair. What can I do?"

Cui Zuojing went to pinch the limp swimming ring on Lin Hangzhi's stomach. Doctor Lin struggled with a look of lovelessness on his face, "I'm much better now, okay? My abs are coming out soon... Come to Pure White Realm I used to have two layers of swimming rings."

"Come on, brother." Cui Zuojing patted Dong Zheng's stomach with his backhand. Although Dong Zheng was not as obvious as Linhai, he already had the embryonic form of abdominal muscles.

The young man smiled and said, "I won't force you, just strive to be the leader as soon as possible."

Dong Zheng was silent.

……

Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and moved Cui Zuojing's hand away which made him feel itchy all over his body.
