Chapter 473: The Beast World's Charmer (38)
The divine power is missing.
As soon as Horn set foot on this land, he keenly sensed that some of his stored divine power had been lost. The bracelet that was supposed to carry his divine power was now very far away from him.
After sensing it.
Not in the wooden house where he once lived.
Horn's mind moved slightly.
His eyes swept across the wooden house, which was still exactly the same as before he left, but when he entered and opened the drawer, there was only emptiness.
The bracelet is gone.
Then... there was only one possibility that he could think of.
It was taken away by Qiao Xi.
Horn was slightly startled when he saw the empty drawer. He seemed a little dazed, but more like he was at a loss and stood there in a daze.
He is now.
She had changed back into her Lemurian royal attire, a close-fitting uniform and black boots. Her silver hair was elegantly tied up, cascading down her neck and shoulders. Her straight, imposing figure, framed by her uniform, seemed even more dignified and composed.
only……
Now, looking at the empty drawer, the man's handsome face was slightly depressed. Beneath his slightly furrowed brows were a pair of deep eyes filled with struggle and confusion.
It was taken away...
Will Qiao Xi see the name he left behind?
Of course it will.
Horn didn't think too much before leaving, because the bracelet had been placed here since he came to this world. In addition, he realized that he could not leave this world.
For a long time.
He deliberately ignored it and didn't care.
Seal the bracelet in a drawer so that you won’t be reminded of the past every time you see it.
This is certainly effective.
Those memories that I deliberately tried to forget seem to be slowly starting to fade away.
He gradually calmed down.
Except that occasionally on a certain night, I still think of that bright and dazzling girl.
Most of the other busy time.
He taught the native orcs and did what he could for the world, and his life was quite fulfilling.
The bracelet that carried the joy of his youth.
It also brings back memories of his past.
The dust gradually gathered in the drawer that would never be opened.
Until Horn opened the drawer and saw nothing. After realizing that the bracelet was taken away by Qiao Xi, he couldn't express his feelings for a while.
Compared to before.
If Qiao Xi discovered the existence of the bracelet, he might be stubborn and unwilling to admit it, and then quietly observe the girl's reaction.
But now…
The bracelet was taken away.
Horn felt a mixture of emotions, and more than anything, he felt helpless.
It was originally a way to sort out my mood.
Able to face Qiao Xi.
But this time, he was immediately brought back to his original form. He didn't know how to face Qiao Xi who discovered his past feelings.
He wanted to wait until he became strong enough.
but……
Not in this way.
After knowing that Qiao Xi planned to stay and not return to her original world, Horn no longer had any intention of speaking.
That's fine.
Without taking the initiative to cross the line of being friends, he and Qiao Xi could still chat and laugh normally as before, and occasionally practice magic.
Horn didn't plan to say anything either.
There is no point in expressing your feelings.
When I was young, I was always full of passion and chased the person I liked as my goal. I wanted to become strong and tell her my feelings one day in the future.
But he has been wandering alone in another world for so long.
Horn's obsession with this is not as strong anymore.
He likes it calmly.
It's his own business.
Qiao Xi couldn't return to his original world, nor could he leave this place. Telling the girl his feelings would only cause more trouble. Why would he bother to say such embarrassing things and cause trouble for the girl?
Time gradually dilutes the passion and impulse of youth.
The passing of time has left its mark on him.
It made him more mature and steady than before, and the past feelings of love were buried deep in his heart. Just like wine fermenting with the passage of time, it became more and more mellow.
This is just his concern.
It's not necessary to get it.
Since Qiao Xi can live happily in this new world, he naturally will not disrupt the girl's peaceful life.
“…”
Horn closed the drawer and sighed slightly.
After regrouping, he felt more helpless. The divine power he left in the bracelet would naturally automatically protect the owner whose name was engraved on it.
Qiao Xi took it away.
It also happens that she is the master, so when she encounters danger, the divine power will naturally protect her.
The trajectory of the flow of divine power is very clear.
Horn gathered his thoughts and headed towards where Qiao Xi was. A magic circle was quietly taking shape under his feet. The moment the formation was generated, Horn's figure completely disappeared from the spot.
White Snake Tribe, inside the Saint's house.
Just as Qiao Xi was about to practice, she noticed something unusual happening on her bracelet.
A familiar breath spread in an instant, and the girl realized at this moment that her former friend had returned.
When he sensed Horn's presence.
Qiao Xi had just gathered her spiritual power when a familiar magic circle suddenly appeared on the ground in the house. Qiao Xi did not stop the magic power from spreading.
Next second.
Horn's figure appeared in front of her.
The light in front of her eyes was blocked by a tall figure, and Qiao Xi also looked over.
Horn, who had changed back into his original attire, appeared in her sight. In a trance, Qiao Xi recalled the memories of that long-gone world.
After she left.
The trajectory of the world seems to be still moving.
To Qiao Xi, that was a story that had already ended, and the people in that story all had their own destinations and endings.
"You're back. How's the situation over there?"
Qiao Xi was also somewhat curious about the world after she left.
Horn sighed slightly.
“It’s a big change, but it’s for the better.”
He thought about it and said so.
The rest of the story was basically the same as what Qiao Xi had told him before, and after returning to Lemuria this time, he also met his brother.
only……
Angelo looked a little strange, just like the Atlantis princess Josie, like a puppet without a soul.
But Qiao Xi could still understand.
After all, she had given up her previous identity, and a hundred years had passed in that world, with the human race changing generation after generation.
They are non-human.
Lifespans are long, and a hundred years is just a tiny fraction of their vast time. Horn originally thought he had been away for a long time, but that was only relative to his original world.
It's only been a hundred years.
When Horn returned to Lemuria after such a long absence, the tribesmen were surprised at his changes and warmly welcomed his return.
Nothing has changed.
Just like when he left.
He was the only one who changed.
During his time in the Lemurian Palace, Horn also tried to use a large magic teleportation array to see if he could contact other small worlds.
But without exception.
All failed.
The only way to survive is through that backward and barbaric era.
He built it the same way.
He wanted to find another new world, a place that could accommodate Qiao Xi. But the results he received were all disappointments without exception.
Horn was familiar with this kind of magic.
It’s just that this is the only world that can be successfully teleported to.
"I tried many ways, but I couldn't find a new world."
Horn sat in a chair beside her bed.
He looked troubled as if he was in deep thought, while Qiao Xi leaned on the edge of his bed, picked up a book at random, flipped through it, and answered at the same time.
"This is normal, and it won't succeed every time."
but.
No matter how hard Horn tried, he would not succeed.
The Little Black Cat System was operating in secret. If it hadn't arranged for limited-edition characters to return, Horn and Qi Yeyue wouldn't have appeared here by chance.
They all felt like they had discovered a new world.
but……
He was just controlled by a black cat and chosen to be a returning character.
They only exist in a certain world.
Like Anqiluo, he accepted the task within the system space.
It has a quick-travel identity setting and can freely travel through multiple worlds with different characters.
A specific character in a certain world.
They can only appear through similar backgrounds or similar worlds with certain connections.
The rest.
It doesn't fit the background of the times and has no chance to appear.
So no matter how hard Horn tried to use the teleportation array to find the new world, he couldn't do it. He could only travel back and forth between his original world and this backward and barbaric beast world.
It is no longer possible to break through new world barriers.
nature.
The same goes for the night moon.
"Have you been to the forbidden forest?" Unexpectedly, Horn suddenly brought up the topic after a long silence.
Qiao Xi came back to her senses.
He found that the bracelet he had put away floated in front of Horn by itself, emitting a faint glow of divine power.
The man's slender hands stroked the wood.
He lowered his eyes, as if in deep thought, or as if he was replenishing his divine power.
“Yes.”
Qiao Xi nodded slightly, not avoiding the topic of Horn.
And she looked up.
She looked at the man's calm face, which was gradually covered with a thin layer of frost. Even though she knew Horn was worried about her and seemed a little unhappy, she still spoke.
"That person came from another world, and I want to send him back."
It didn't specify who it was.
But when Qiao Xi finished speaking, Horn knew that she was talking about the creature in the deepest part of the forbidden forest.
Horn had no contact.
At that time, he had already contributed too much magic power to this world and trained too many orcs.
The power is not in its prime.
So when he noticed that there was some strange and ominous aura in the forest over there, which was slowly reviving.
Horn had a vague bad feeling.
At that time, he thought that if this was left untreated, it would probably be a huge trouble.
That’s true.
The other party's power is somewhat compatible with the pure power of this world.
It is recognized by the world.
Unlike him, an outsider who suddenly broke in and was not recognized.
At that time.
Horn was still studying how to deal with the creature deep in the forbidden forest. He made a few attempts occasionally, but all of them were in vain.
It seems that it cannot be eliminated.
So he could only settle for the second best and prepare to perform the seal.
But before Horn could take action.
The orcs he was leading at the time came up to him with terrified faces, saying that one of their tribe had contracted a strange disease and was attacking their own kind!
I can't care about anything else.
After all, the natives of this world are more important, so Horn can only deal with the natives' issues first.
Then.
He saw that those infected people were surrounded by the same strange and ominous aura that he had felt outside the forest.
Horn's power is in this world.
It was originally unacceptable, and every time it is used, it will become less and less.
And when he used magic to restore the natives to normal.
Then use the remaining magic power.
When the seal was completed, Horn's magic power was exhausted and completely weakened, leaving only the divine power he relied on for survival.
if……
If the creature was not Qiao Xi, he might have been buried in this world.
No one knows his true identity.
There won't be anyone I once knew.
Just like that, he died quietly and miserably in another world. How could he even talk about being the second prince of Lemuria?
So cowardly.
After this unprecedented setback, Horn became even more taciturn and gloomy. The natives thought he was very powerful, but they also knew that the great wizard had a bad temper.
Looking back.
His life was such a failure.
While chasing Qiao Xi, the distance between them is getting farther and farther.
Fallen into another world, but unable to return to the original world.
If the creature was not Qiao Xi, his magic power would never be restored, and he would probably have to spend the end of his life here.
My whole life is full of failure and embarrassment.
It's so pathetic.
How could he dare to hope to win Qiao Xi's favor, how could he dare to confess his love to the girl he loved so passionately when they were young?
Can't do it.
He was very strong-willed, as the second prince of Lemuria, he was unwilling to admit his mediocrity, nor was he willing to be bound by a single identity.
Young and passionate.
I have had ambitions and impulses, yearnings and grand aspirations.
in the end.
Tormented by the cruel reality, he was clearly reminded time and time again how incompetent he was.
The sharpness has been smoothed out.
His impulse and passion were smoothed out, but his love for her could not be extinguished. However, he could no longer muster the slightest desire to obtain her.
I dare not.
Even now, Qiao Xi, who was reincarnated in this different world, could easily accomplish things that he had never done before.
He thought the gap between them would be slightly narrowed.
But no.
Qiao Xi is still Qiao Xi, no matter what era or what her identity is.
Gold will always shine.
She is always the most dazzling one.
The creature had only been in this world for a short time, but in just over half a year he had captured three major tribes and raised his status to the same level as the Great Wizard.
And what about Horn?
He spent a hundred years teaching the orcs, and gained the respect of all the orcs and his current status.
But Qiao Xi...
In just over half a year, he won over all the hearts of the people that he had gained over hundreds of years.
All that flooded Horn's heart was bitterness.
It’s not because Qiao Xi is popular with those orcs.
But once again.
When he realized the gap between him and her, even the gap after Qiao Xi's reincarnation, could not be made up. The feeling of being left far behind was so far away that Horn dared not hold on to any hope in his heart, and only felt bitterness and sorrow.
This person...
No matter what era, as long as she wants, she can perhaps become the most dazzling existence in her ideal.
It's only been more than half a year.
She would gain the trust of the leading tribes if she were given the same number of hundreds of years.
Horne wouldn't doubt it.
I'm afraid Qiao Xi can do much more than him.
No… Even if it didn't take hundreds of years, even now, he no longer had the strength he had in his prime. He felt helpless against the creature in the forbidden forest and could only choose to seal it.
It's just a seal.
Because Horn knew that he could not kill the other party, let alone send the other party away from this world.
Not to mention, he hadn't even entered the forest to see the other person.
However.
But it was only during the short time he was away.
Qiao Xi said that she wanted to send that person back.
Horn knew that Qiao Xi would not do anything that she was not sure of. She brought it up at this time, probably because she had figured out how to deal with the person in the forbidden forest.
gap.
It can never be made up for.
He always watched Qiao Xi getting further and further away from him. The girl who was originally standing at the same starting line with him had already reached a height that was beyond his reach.
Even if Qiao Xi has been reincarnated.
The gap has not narrowed, and even his worries about Qiao Xi are unnecessary.
Swallow the bitterness in your throat.
Horn forced himself to suppress the strange and sad emotions that were flooding his heart, and his expression eased slightly.
He suppressed his depressed mood, lowered his eyes and looked at the girl who was flipping through a book in front of him.
"You were able to return safely, so you have already met that person?"
A half-joking, light-hearted remark.
After perfectly hiding those low emotions, he remained calm and flawless. This was probably the best disguise Horn had learned over the years.
He is no longer the impulsive boy who would show all his emotions on his face.
"Yes, I have."
Qiao Xi's beautiful eyes lit up slightly, as if she had thought of a good idea, and she looked at Horn seriously again.
"But it's best not to make this public. That person is very powerful, and I'm afraid he'll choose to perish together with us. Then... it will be difficult to deal with, and it might even lead to the destruction of the world."
That level of pure demonic energy.
Or is it the result of Qi Yeyue's suppression and convergence?
If it breaks out completely.
It wouldn't be a problem to cover this incomplete world in just a short time. After all, this world is filled with low-quality spiritual energy, and the high concentration of demonic energy is trying to pollute and spread.
It was just a moment.
It's impossible to resist.
And now Horn's appearance is likely to stimulate Qi Yeyue, who has fully recovered from his injuries and woken up.
Qiao Xi practiced diligently during this period.
There was no movement from Qi Yeyue's side.
However, as her cultivation level improved and she approached a threshold, Qiao Xi vaguely felt that it was time to perform a "memory recovery" drama.
And by then.
She will drag Qi Yeyue back.
Qiao Xi figured it out. With her current strength, she wanted to send Qi Yeyue away unscathed without being noticed by the other party.
It's simply a fantasy.
There was a slight energy fluctuation in the space, and Ye Yue's cultivation level would be able to detect it immediately.
so.
The best way would be for her to stage a "memory restoration" drama, punish Qi Yeyue openly, and drag him back to his previous world of cultivating immortals.
Then--
Then completely seal the channel connecting to this world.
It prevented Qi Yeyue from locating here again and having the ability to return.
With her current level of cultivation.
It is definitely impossible to seal off the space. However, if she returns to that world, her former cultivation will be scattered throughout the world, and it is the omnipresent Dark Heaven Dao.
Still able to use strength.
that is……
The risk of returning to that world is a bit high. If her presence appears again, it might be noticed by some old friends.
That's a bit of a headache.
But leaving quickly is not a big deal. Of course, this is all a matter for the future.
Anyway.
After returning safely, it was enough for Yeyue to bear.
But if Qiao Xi chose to use this method that was almost a case of mutual destruction to go back with Qi Yeyue.
So……
All living things in this world will cease to exist.
Because the decision was sudden.
Qiao Xi was not ready to leave the White Snake Tribe, and Horn's return at this time was a bit unfortunate for Qiao Xi.
The Western Continent has already begun to develop and cultivate spiritual power.
But it's still in its infancy.
Qiao Xi was needed to watch over them, lest they go astray in their cultivation. Meanwhile, Su Moqing was watching over them on the East Continent.
The story revolves around the male and female protagonists of the East Continent.
There’s nothing wrong with Qiao Xi, so there’s no need to pay too much attention to it.
The problem is Horn...
It seemed like they had just reunited not long ago, and it seemed a little too early to say goodbye now.
Qiao Xi was a little hesitant.
However, she did not intend to tell Horn about her plan to avoid worrying this old friend.
"Is that person so powerful?"
Horn frowned slightly after hearing Qiao Xi's brief description. If the creature in the forbidden forest was so powerful,
Just Qiao Xi alone.
Can you handle it?
At least he had recovered his strength, even if he couldn't completely suppress that power.
But it's still possible to help out.
He couldn't let Qiao Xi take risks alone. He didn't want to see Qiao Xi facing any problems alone again.
Thinking of this.
Horn simply calmed himself down and glanced sideways at the girl.
"Then I'll go help you? Just act according to your ideas and eliminate him."
That strange, ominous power.
Magic couldn't be completely suppressed. Horn had come into contact with that power and knew its characteristics. It had a strong infectious ability, and its penetrating and lethal power was extremely strong.
It's different from the magic of comprehensive balance.
This is an extremely lethal and ominous force.
Once it gets contaminated it will be very troublesome.
Although Horn knew that Qiao Xi had that ability, there were still too many uncertainties for Qiao Xi to face such a dangerous creature alone.
Be able to escape unscathed for once.
Can you guarantee that it will be the same next time?
He was worried, but when Horn said this, Qiao Xi quickly took over the conversation as if he had expected it.
"No, I can't guarantee your safety if you come with me. We still need you to protect the Western Continent. If we're not here, it would be like luring the tiger away from the mountain, and you wouldn't even know you were tricked."
She quickly waved her hand to decline Horn's offer.
"I'm also very good at escaping. I can guarantee that I can escape safely by myself. If you are here, it's a bit difficult to say."
The little girl looked conflicted, and she hesitated to speak.
Horn looked at the embarrassment in the girl's expression.
The emotions that came to his mind belatedly made him understand quickly. He couldn't help but clench his hands hanging at his sides, and laughed at himself in his heart.
Or he is too weak.
Even now...
