The world is beautiful and bright.

But there is always evil and darkness in the depths, and these places are full of terror, and the world has a unified name: purgatory on earth.

Rumble!!!

The moment the missile fell, the whole mine was surprisingly quiet, and she seemed to be holding her breath, waiting for the next moment to erupt.

A loud sound that shook the sky kicked off the prelude, and the rapid and sudden explosion of pink and white fire reflected her as bright as day, and even the stars in the night sky were dimmed. The earth shook violently, and wherever the fire passed, no bare ore, large or small, was spared from being shattered by the blast.

The powerful impact leveled a radius of hundreds of meters, and the miners in this area turned into dust and ashes in an instant.

The mountain at the top of the mine, unable to withstand this devastating blow, cracked several huge cracks, and spread rapidly in all directions, and the collapse followed, and the mine rained stones, and huge boulders fell overhead, and the miners who could not escape were smashed and screamed.

Noxon and the old man ran ahead, Ellen followed with Sam, who had been wounded in the calf, followed by the rest of the miners, who were getting smaller and smaller.

Listening to the screams behind him, Nuosen's heart was mixed, knowing that killing that dire wolf would cause such a big disaster, and he would say that he would not do anything. But if he didn't make a move, watching it take innocent lives one after another, his heart was ......

"Ah......h

The rubble that flew out of nowhere cut Sam's other leg in two from his knee, and he screamed in pain and fell to the ground.

"Big brother!" Ellen took off his shirt, tore it into strips, and tied it to Sam's thigh to stop the gushing blood, and Northon and the old man turned back, and the three of them lifted him up and continued to run.

After being carried some distance, Sam knew that he was seriously injured and his life was short, and he didn't want to drag everyone down anymore, so he pulled Northon's sleeve and said, "Stop! ”

"Uncle Sam, we're going to get out together."

Sam deliberately broke free and let himself fall, and Northon tried to lift him up again, but he stopped him: "Little brother, you are a good person...... Uncle begs you something. ”

"No, no!" Noxon shook his head desperately, hugged him covered in blood, and cried into tears.

Sam, who was extremely weak from blood loss, trembled and took out the portrait of his daughter, and held it, and Northon came to his lips and vaguely heard him say intermittently, "Promise me...... Take good care of Ellie......"

Halfway through Sam's words, his lips froze, and his hand fell like a fallen leaf.

"Uncle Sam! Uncle Sam ...... "Northon howled, but no matter how much he shouted, Sam didn't respond to him.

Eren on the side was silent, but there were tears on his face.

Northon raised his head and hissed in his heart. He hated Vio, hated the unjust world, hated the damned people living freely, and the people who should have lived left him one by one.

The collapse continued, the situation was critical, and the old man persuaded him to continue to flee for his life.

Eren wiped away her tears and set up Northon with the old man.

On the occasion of farewell, Northon took the bloodstained portrait of Sam on his hand, choked up and said, "Uncle Sam, I will definitely go to Vio and avenge you." ”

The collapse lasted nearly two hours before it subsided, and the mine was in shambles.

The three Northen were trapped in a small corner, and he was still saddened by Sam's death.

Eren shouted for a while, but no one answered, and he moved the gravel in front of him indiscriminately, and did not stop until his hands were grinding out blood.

The old man didn't know where he picked up a piece of moonstone, and took it to investigate, this corner was only the size of two rooms, and the height was only enough for him to stand up straight, and Ellen could only stand up to the waist.

The three of them were speechless to each other, and then fatigue came back and they went to sleep.

The cold, damp environment, and the deep pain in his heart, caused Northon to wake up without sleeping for long, as did the old man and Ellen.

Ellen's eyes were red from crying and she muttered "Big Brother Sam".

"I did the harm to everyone," Norson said with a face as dead as ashes, leaning against a stone wall, "I shouldn't have killed the Dire Wolf and provoked Vio." ”

"It's not your fault," the old man comforted him, "and if I were me, I would have stepped forward." ”

"It's me who is so incompetent, a white spear spirit's waste," Northon closed his eyes, hot tears streaming down his cheeks, "It would be nice if your spear spirit was still around!" ”

The old man sighed lightly: "Success and defeat, this is endless, when I have a spear spirit, everyone respects me and respects me, but once I lose it, I am a miserable person who is trampled on." The world is inherently unfair, and you are not used to seeing it and not understanding it, because when the Endless God created it, he didn't take your feelings into account at all. ”

"No, I'm going to change the rules!" Northen clenched his fists.

"There are four kinds of people in this world, great people change the rules, capable people use the rules, mortals adapt to the rules, and mediocre people are eliminated by the rules. When encountering injustice, everyone wants to be a great man, but how can a great man be just a cat or a dog, who can do what he says. ”

The old man patted Nuo Sen on the shoulder: "You don't have to blame yourself too much, there is no shortage of real warriors in the Endless Continent who are upright, strong and unyielding, and dare to fight to the end against the evil forces, which is also the original intention of the Endless God to let us have a spear spirit." ”

Northen squatted and hugged his knees, burying his head in them.

The old man knew that he still had to go through a struggle in his heart before he could understand this truth, so he no longer comforted, but said a realistic question: "It's okay if you want to change the rules, but the top priority is to find a way to escape." ”

Noxon thought of the old woman who had let him cross, calling out to her from the bottom of his heart, but hearing no response.

Did you give up on me?

He was disappointed in his heart, and sat motionless like a sculpture, and when he was tired of sitting, he leaned against the stone wall and fell asleep, and after not sleeping for long, he was woken up by the cold.

After about a day or two, Northon's stomach began to rumble with hunger, his lips cracked due to lack of water, and his throat seemed to be stuck in a cloud of mud and sand, and he couldn't get up or down.

Not far away, there was a rat-like chirping.

By the glimmer of the moonstone, Norsen saw the old man grab a palm-sized tide worm, skillfully pinch the head and tail, peel off the skin and put it into his mouth, and he almost vomited the acid water in his stomach.

After a while, the old man grabbed one and threw it to Ellen, and after grabbing another one, he handed it to him.

He hesitated, reached out and grabbed the sticky, still dripping milky blood, the pungent earthy smell hit his face, he retched, and tried several times but did not dare to swallow.

In the end, he still couldn't resist the torture of hunger, he turned his heart sideways, pounced on it and took a big bite, the bitter astringency choked his tears, and his facial features were twisted together. As soon as he chewed it twice, his stomach seemed to be overturned, and the stomach water and intestine juice kept gushing up, coming out of his mouth and nose.

He closed his eyes tightly, pulled his neck and swallowed hard, Chai Lao's tidal insect flesh pulled his throat painfully, he only felt like swallowing a red-hot iron ball, the burning pain was unbearable, and it took a while to fade.

"Is it delicious?" The old man said interestingly, "I have eaten more delicious, and I have the opportunity to take you to taste it." ”

Nuosen was disturbed by the tide insect meat, and shook his head and waved his hand repeatedly.

After another three or five days, even the tide insects were eaten.

Northen's hungry eyes were dizzy, his whole body was weak, he was lying on the ground half dead, and asked in a daze: "How many days have passed since I received the bounty task?" ”

"Eleven or twelve days," replied the old man, "you still have the mind to take care of the task." ”

While the two were talking, Ellen suddenly picked up the stone behind the old man and slammed it into his forehead.

Seeing this, Nuo Sen didn't know where he got the strength, and a carp jumped to the place where the old man was lying, grabbed him by the feet and pulled him hard, and the stone grazed the old man's scalp and smashed it to the ground.

"Uncle Ellen, what are you doing?" He asked.

The old man got up and looked at Eren vigilantly, touching his head.

With tears in her eyes, Ellen said sadly, "I...... I don't want to die, I still have a seriously ill mother waiting for me to go back and get medicine, I can't die......"

He cried vaguely, the fear of death crushing the last shred of his sanity, and crouched on the ground and hugged his head and cried.

Norsen helped the old man and staggered as far away from Ellen as possible, the bravery of the man squeezed out his remaining strength, and after letting go of the old man, he could no longer support his heavy body, and collapsed to the ground.

Northam, Northam......

In a trance, he always felt that a voice was calling him, at first he thought it was an auditory hallucination, but the voice always lingered in his mind, he concentrated his energy, and finally heard clearly, and said in his heart:

It's you?!
