Outside the Ice Village - Bell Tower

After Milia shouted hoarsely, she reacted after a while, crawled to Nebula's side, looked at the scarred Nebula, and asked while whimpering, "Nebula!" Nebula!! Are you okay!? What to do!! You've bled a lot........"

"You wait!! I'll go home and get the medicine now!! Milia took off the only cotton robe she had, put it on Nebula, and said to Nebula.

Nebula shook his head with difficulty and replied to Miria, "Miria, there's no time left!" Help me up! I'm going to have to find a way to ring this bell!! ”

Hearing what Nebula said, Miria "Plop!" He knelt on the ground and said to Nebula with a crying voice, "Nebula!" You're always like that!! Why can't you think about your body! Your body has ....... It's become like this, I can't stand it anymore........"

The pale Nebula raised his right hand with difficulty, stroked Miria's hair, and said softly to Miria, "Miria!! I'm sorry!! Please forgive me for being willful, as an adventurer living in this adventurous world, I exist to protect everyone!! Aunt Dimy, Uncle Robert, the people of the village......... And you, Milia!! ”

"As a proud and proud adventurer, if I can't protect even my most important family, then I don't have the meaning of living!!"

Milia was stunned for a moment, she held back the tears that were about to gush out, nodded silently to Nebula, stood up strongly, slowly helped Nebula, and slowly walked towards the bell tower again step by step........

When Nebula stood in front of the bronze bell again, Nebula didn't know what to do for a while, the only Thunder Spirit Bead staff had already pierced the wolf's body, and Nebula now didn't even have the strength to pull out the staff.

Just as Nebula was staring at the bronze bell and trying to think of countermeasures, there were bursts of wolf howls not far away.

Xingyun subconsciously looked at the entrance of the village, and found that several more wild wolves had broken through the encirclement and entered the village, and they were quickly approaching the direction of the bell tower.

These wolves must have been called by the dying howl of the wolf before, four!? No! At least eight!!

After circling around the corpses of their companions, the wolves stared at Nebula and Miria with a fierce look in their eyes.

Seeing that he was surrounded by wild wolves on all sides, Nebula couldn't help but sigh.

Seemingly........ I'm afraid that's the end of my adventure!!

I really didn't expect that after defeating many strong enemies and escaping from countless life and death tribulations, I would actually die in the mouth of a wild wolf!!

Her only regret now is that she couldn't save Milia, after hearing the news of the beast tide's attack, if she escaped directly to the village, she wouldn't be attacked by the wolves at all, and she was the one who caused her......

The wolves did not choose to be tempted, but quickly narrowed the encirclement, and after the two Nebula entered their attack range, several wild wolves pounced directly on Nebula and Miria.

"Na~~ Nebula! Do you like me? Remember the agreement you made with me when you were a child? I was already to you at that time........ Since this is the last chance, I'll say it......... I like you!! Nebula!! Milia said with red eyes as she hugged Nebula tightly.

Hearing Miria's confession, Nebula suddenly remembered Shinas, who was far away in the sky.

Milia!! I'm sorry!! I already have someone I like.......

Shinas!! I'm sorry!! I may not have a chance to see you again!!

Bye!! My loved ones........

Enchanted Jungle - The Enchanted Library

Hans, who was flipping through the magic books, didn't know what he felt, and stood up violently, revealing a look of disbelief, and accidentally let the magic books on the table fall to the ground.

Lulu on the side helped pick up the book, and asked Hans in confusion, "Lord Hans, are you okay!?" ”

"It's okay......." Hans replied perfunctorily to Lulu as he looked at the magic crystal ball on the table that had lost its luster and turned dim.........

The Holy Land - the Hall of Knights

Michal stood straight on the stage, holding a baton and patiently teaching the new rookie knights.

"Soul Knight! The important thing is the cultivation of the soul, and now you close your eyes, listen to the sound of the soul, and feel the soul ........ within you."

Michal, who was training rookie knights, seemed to feel something, and when the rookie knights closed their eyes and felt it, they looked at the distant sky, bit their lips and whispered, "Little Star....... Don't let anything happen to you!! My brother will always be waiting for you to come back......"

Holy Land - Kaede Castle

Walk up to Shinas by the window, open the window, and look up at the sky.

The clouds were surging, and the white clouds in the sky gradually converged into a familiar young man's face under the blowing of the breeze, and the cute and playful smile was deeply imprinted in the heart of Shinas........

Shinas clasped his fingers together in prayer and whispered to the blue sky, "Nebula....... I know this journey will be dangerous, but even if you go through a lot of hardships, even if you are covered in bruises......... I have only one request........ Please!! Survive ......."

Frozen Snow - The bell tower on the outskirts of the Snow Village

Just as Nebula was protecting Miria with both hands, quietly waiting for death, Nebula seemed to see the prayers of relatives, friends, and people he liked........

No way!! I can't die yet!!

For the sake of my loved ones, and their prayers and blessings to me!! I want to live!!

"Ahhh~~~~~h

When Nebula was dying, he used all the strength of his body and shouted hoarsely.

With the call of Nebula, the golden maple leaf mark on Nebula's hand suddenly turned into a little golden light and merged into Nebula's body, and Nebula's body immediately erupted with a powerful force.

"Bell~~Bell~~Bell~~"

This energy not only broke the ice on the bronze bell, but also made the loud bell ring in the wind and snow!!

The eight wild wolves that rushed towards the nebula were directly knocked out in the face of that burst of energy and fell to the ground fiercely.

Nebula didn't react to what was happening, so he passed out due to exhaustion, and Milia next to Nebula saw this, and directly grabbed Nebula and pulled Nebula down the snow slope with her.

Then, Miria gritted her teeth, picked up the nebula directly, and ran briskly towards the center of the Ice Village.

And the group of wild wolves that were shocked and flew away, rolled on the snow and wailed for a while, and after slowly recovering their energy, they limped in the direction of Milia's escape.......

★?????????????????? ★

Frozen Snow - Outside the Ice Village

Ordinary humans naturally can't outrun wolves, let alone children, even if these wolves are lame........

It didn't take long for the wolves to catch up with Miria and Nebula.

When Nebula wakes up in a jolt, he sees that Milia, whom she considers her sister, is striding with her own strenuous steps on her back, and a group of limping wolves are chasing after her.

"Milia....... Put me down!! If you run away alone, you should be able to escape!! Nebula said to Milia very weakly.

Miria shook her head and replied to Nebula, "I won't let go!" If you die, I don't have the meaning of living!! Because I ........"

Before Milia could finish speaking, Milia and the Nebula on her back tripped over a rock on the road and fell the snow.

At this time, the wolves were only a few meters away from the two of them, and with just one pounce, their bodies would be torn apart under the sharp teeth of the wild wolves........

Just as Nebula and Miria struggled to get up and run away, a mature and beautiful female voice sounded in their ears: "Little ghosts!!" Get down!! ”

When Nebula heard this, he didn't hesitate to pull Milia and lay on the snow together.

With one scream after another, explosions continued to sound from behind him, and at the same time, there was a wave of heat behind him.

Although Nebula is now unable to use spiritual power and magic power, it can still be identified from the sound, this is a fire-based magic meteor fire shower, and the person who released this meteor fire rain should be ..........

"Huh!? Isn't this a nebula? Long time no see!! I didn't expect that six years later, we would still meet again in this way!! A beautiful woman dressed in tawny robes, armed with the Staff of Flame and the Eternal Shield, with long, curly red hair, appeared in front of Nebula and Miria.

Nebula struggled to stand up with Miria's support, Nebula scratched her head and said awkwardly to the young woman in front of her, "I don't want to do this either!" This time it was just an accident! Anyway, it's nice to see you again - Aunt Rubi!! ”

"How many times have you been told!! To call my sister!! Am I that old? Lu Bi pouted and said angrily to Nebula.

Xingyun stuck out his tongue in embarrassment, and then asked Lu Bi, "Lu Bi...... Sister! Do you elders know about the beast tide? My companion should have come to the Elder Mansion to inform you........"

Lu Bi stretched out her index finger and shook it at her proud double (harmony) peak, and said to Xingyun, "The other four elders have already led the forces of the elder mansion to stabilize the defense line!" And I stayed behind because they ........"

At this moment, a large and chaotic sound of footsteps came from a distance one after another, and Nebula could hear that the boots on the feet of these people who made similar footsteps must be snowshoes.

Could it be said!! These people are........

After a while, nearly a hundred adventurers gathered in front of Lu Bi, their ranks were uneven, some were already holding the Ice Breaking Demon Spear in their hands, and some had just put on the clothes of the White Saint Party.

If Nebula guessed correctly, these adventurers should be the reinforcements invited by Elder Lu Bi to the Frozen Snow Free Market, although the Frozen Snow Region is not a big place, but because it is rich in wolf skins, werewolf nails, snowman horns and other materials, it is also a good hunting spot, so high-level adventurers are not uncommon.

At first, the adventurers were very chaotic, and it was not until a beautiful archer armed with a golden dragon winged bow fired an arrow of a flying dragon shockwave into the sky that many adventurers fell silent.

The braided blonde archer shouted to the adventurers behind her, "We're not here to party!" Now that we've all received the mission jointly issued by the Elders, we have to stick together!! ”

"Elle is right! The beast tide is not as simple as you think, wild wolves, white wolves or something are just appetizers, in case there is a large group of werewolves and snowmen, your strength alone is not enough to solve it, even if we are a four-turn powerhouse, there will be danger, only if everyone works together to resist this beast tide!! Rubi spoke out to the adventurers in her mature and charismatic voice.

After saying that, Lu Bi raised the Staff of Flame High and launched a huge fireball into the sky, and with the shattering of this huge fireball, the adventurers who were invited were completely silent.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Bi casually pointed to a young warrior holding a tiger sword, and immediately said to the young warrior: "Your name is Booker, right!?" I am very touched by your bravery, but this time the action is too reluctant with your level 50 strength. ”

"Don't be discouraged, there will be more opportunities in the future, I will now give you an important task, please bring these two children back to the Ice and Snow Market safely!!" Rubi explained to the warrior named Booker, pushing Nebula and Miria over as he spoke.

Halfway through, the nebula suddenly stopped. Nebula said to Lu Bi with a serious face, "You just need to send Miria!" As the captain of the world's No. 1 adventure team, I can't back down in such a place!! ”

Looking at Nebula's serious and determined eyes, Lu Bi hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head at Nebula.

"I'm sorry!! Just like I stopped Booker from going to the front, now you're not only scarred, but you can't even use your magic, and I can't let a helpless wounded fight! You have to go back to the safety of the Ice Bazaar with your little sister!! Lu Bi sighed lightly and said to Nebula.

Seeing this, Xingyun couldn't help but clench his fists, staring at Lu Bi with straight eyes, as if to say, if you don't allow it, I will go too.

Lu Bi pondered for a moment, then walked up to Xingyun and said to Xingyun: "Since you have been able to wear the green dragon robe, your strength should not be too bad, right!?" Do you know magic inscriptions? ”

Xingyun didn't know what medicine was sold in Lu Bi's gourd, so he nodded slightly.

"Well, you have the option to do what you can!! Maybe we'll all have to rely on you........" Lu Bi chuckled at Nebula, handing Nebula a golden key as she spoke.

Nebula looked at the golden key handed over by Lu Bi, revealing a very puzzled look.

However, before Nebula could ask Rubi clearly, Nebula and Miria were dragged away by the young warrior named Booker.........
