Unlike Bilodis's immediate wariness of strangers, Karl was overjoyed the moment he saw Bilodis.
A person overcomes numerous difficulties and walks alone on the desolate land. Loneliness is the least of his worries. What worries Karl the most is whether he has found the right place.
This question had followed him all the way, and only now could he be sure that his initial choice was right!
A familiar scent was faintly emanating from the person he had encountered. Even though he was exhausted and dizzy from hunger, he was still certain that this was the one he had been searching for!
However, before Karl could even show a hint of joy, he sensed danger in the blink of an eye.
Before the brain could even process what was happening, the body reacted first, decisively taking a large step back.
When he looked up, he saw that where he had been standing, the tender green leaves, sharp as knives, were deeply embedded in the dry soil.
What exactly happened?
Unfortunately, he didn't even have time to think. The next moment, a whooshing sound came, and Karl hurriedly dodged.
"Wait...wait a minute!" The two dodges had exhausted Karl's already dwindling strength, and he was stammering as he spoke.
Strike while the iron is hot and kill him!
Bilodis ignored all his words and immediately unleashed a barrage of deadly attacks. However, despite her determination to kill him, each of her attacks proved weaker than she had anticipated.
I don't know if it's because I'm separated from my original body, or because it's my first time fighting someone and I have no experience!
While Bilodis was feeling frustrated, Karl was inexplicably relieved. Several exchanges had immediately made him realize that this was her first time fighting someone.
It was precisely because of her lack of experience that Karl was always able to find a glimmer of hope at the last moment whenever he felt his life was threatened!
However, this good fortune did not last. First, his stamina was rapidly depleting; second, the opponent's movements were becoming increasingly fluid, and he had already inflicted several wounds on Karl; and third, Karl sensed someone rapidly approaching them from not far away!
I don't know if they are friend or foe, but it seems more likely that they are to his disadvantage!
So, to avoid being surrounded, when the enemy launched another deadly attack, Karl suddenly retreated a considerable distance to avoid it, shouting loudly, "I'm really not a bad person, I'm here to find Fei'er!"
Bilodis had already assumed her stance for the next move and was about to charge at Karl when she heard those words.
Fei Er?
Do they know each other?
Bilodis paused, stopping in her tracks. Even so, she remained vigilant towards Karl.
“You—” Bilodis hesitated before uttering a single word, when suddenly a whooshing sound came from behind her.
Oops!
Bilodis's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately shouted, "Wait a minute!"
However, it was too late. A gust of wind had already swept past her ears. Not far away, the red-haired youth who was already standing there somewhat unsteadily was suddenly hit. His whole body fell backward and rolled into a ball, tumbling several times.
The yellow sand surged up, and when it subsided, the red-haired youth was lying motionless on the ground.
Could it be... dead?
Bilodis couldn't help but worry and hurriedly ran over to squat down next to the red-haired youth.
She breathed a sigh of relief after checking the other person's breathing and confirming that the red-haired youth had only fainted. However, turning her head, she complained to the "culprit" beside her, "Jade, didn't I tell you to wait a moment? Why did you knock him out?"
Yes, that gust of wind just now wasn't real wind, but rather a green-haired elf rushing in from afar.
Faced with Bilodis's complaint, Emerald merely raised an eyebrow without replying. It wasn't that she hadn't heard, but by the time she did, she was already face-to-face with the red-haired youth!
If she hadn't managed to pull back most of her strength at the last moment, the red-haired youth wouldn't have just passed out.
However, none of that matters. What matters is something else entirely...
"Where are you going all by yourself?" Emerald approached Bilodis step by step with a stern face. Because Bilodis was still squatting in place, Emerald's approach seemed particularly condescending. "Are you going to find Lingling?"
As soon as he said that, it was obvious that the green-haired elf's eyes were gleaming with eagerness.
Even before the words were spoken, Bilodis knew that her next sentence would be, "Me too!"
Sure enough, just as she expected, Emerald's voice rang in her ears at the same time: "Me too!"
Bilodis: ······
He immediately denied it, saying, "No, I didn't. I only came over because I saw something unusual happening here!"
No matter what you say, she will never admit that this was her original purpose!
"Really?" Although Bilodis spoke with firm conviction, Emerald still subconsciously questioned, "You really just heard something unusual?"
"Of course! Okay, let's not talk about that anymore, let's drag this guy back!"
Fearing she would give herself away if she continued, Bilodi changed the subject without hesitation, "This person said he was looking for Fei'er."
Emerald continued to approach, walking to Bilodis's side. Instead of crouching down like Bilodis, she observed from above.
"You believed him just because he said that?" The words were full of sarcasm, as if mocking Bilodis's gullibility. "Maybe he did it on purpose."
Knowing that her answer hadn't met Emerald's expectations, Bilodis ignored her sarcastic tone and continued, "That's possible." She didn't deny the possibility, "But what if? And..."
Bilodis reached out and poked the red-haired youth's shoulder. "I smell a familiar scent on him."
A familiar taste?
Upon hearing this, Emerald couldn't help but twitch her nose. She hadn't noticed it before, but now she realized there was a faint, unpleasant odor lingering around her nose.
Indeed, although the smell was foul, it had a strangely familiar feel to it, as if she had smelled it somewhere before.
“This is…” Emerald frowned slightly as she recalled, “It smells a bit like Thanos.”
Hearing her say that, Bilodis's previously confused expression immediately relaxed. "Yes! It's Thanos's scent!"
"That--"
The two suddenly exchanged a glance, and then their eyes fell on the red-haired youth at the same time.
It seems we really need to bring this person back!
In the end, it was Emerald that carried the person back by the wind. However, as soon as they reached their living area, Emerald immediately removed the wind element under the red-haired youth, letting him free fall.
With a "thud," the red-haired youth fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust once more.
The sound of the heavy object hitting the ground was particularly loud, and it quickly attracted Old John and Ella.
"This is······"
