The desperation and helplessness that can be deeply felt even in memory made Guta, who had been a little depressed recently, wake up directly from a dream, and then couldn't fall asleep again.

That's why he appeared here early in the morning.

Passers-by on both sides walked past the ancient tower from time to time, and almost everyone would unconsciously glance at him from various angles.

I don’t know if it’s the influence of [Buzhou Mountain], or the body is also developing rapidly. In the past few days, Guta’s height has almost jumped to [-] meters. The hair that grew longer in the state of [Buzhou Mountain] before the end of the battle It didn't change back after that.

So from the looks of it, he's basically a giant with shoulder-length messy hair now.

No matter from the literal meaning or the interpretation of the word meaning, it stands out from the crowd, in other words, it is very eye-catching.

Unknowingly, Guta had already turned a corner, and a group of people who were too familiar walked up to him.

Ceperus, Riji, and Full Moon.

No Lorgar.

"..."

The footsteps of both sides stopped at the same time. In the silent atmosphere, the expressionless Guta also had a panoramic view of the complicated expressions on the faces of Ceperos and Reiss.

After a dozen or so breaths, Guta took the lead and passed by Seperos and the others.

"Don't you have anything to say?"

Behind Guta, full moon covered in armor, turned around suddenly, looked at Guta's back, and said in a trembling tone.

Anyone can hear its grief and indignation at this time.

"Although I can understand how you feel about losing your teammate..." His footsteps stopped again, Guta turned sideways and looked at the few people, "But are you sure you want to ask me how I feel?"

"If you hadn't chased and killed him all the way, Lorgar would never have appeared in that place at that time, let alone died there because he saved me!" Man Yue shouted almost roaring, ignoring the passers-by who stopped beside him.

There was no ripple in the depths of his pupils, and Guta didn't even respond to him.

"Enough, full moon... It was the monster that suddenly appeared that killed Lorgar in the end, not the ancient tower."

"And to be honest, he did have a reason to do it, so even if one of his hands was crippled, Lorgar has no intention of resentment."

Ceperos sighed, and blocked the full moon who wanted to rush to the ancient tower.

Of course, Man Yue knew this well, and quickly calmed down, and didn't make any senseless anger.

But Guta obviously has something else to say about this.

"I don't know what you are misunderstanding." Guta said indifferently, looking down at the three of them, "But even if that guy survives the monster's mouth, he will still die in my hands in the end."

"It's nothing more than a different way of dying."

Although Guta's mentality did change after Lorgar's real death, he was very sure of one thing.

That is, he never lost more than half of his killing intent towards Lorgar, the guy who bears nearly ten thousand lives of Pale and the blood debt of Cassius.

As he said, as long as there is an opportunity, he will kill without hesitation.

So since Lorgar was exposed to the sight of the ancient tower, his life has begun the final countdown.

"you……"

"Enough! Calm down, the Lorgars are gone, do you still want to continue that hatred?"

Seperos held on to the shoulders of the full moon to prevent it from getting excited, and then looked helplessly at the ancient tower that was quietly looking at him.

Although they were beaten half to death by the opponent twice in a row in the second round of trials, and a lot of life was forcibly burned, but aside from the matter of Lorgar, the relationship between the two is actually quite good.

After all, they can be regarded as comrades who fought side by side on Yiqun Ridge.

So from his point of view, he also doesn't want Man Yue to end his feud with Guta, especially now that Lorgar has left.

Why bother to deliberately continue the meaningless hatred?

"..."

After a moment of silence, perhaps because he really listened to Ceperos' words, or maybe he felt that the great revenge had been avenged, Guta's face gradually revealed an expression of excitement.

Without saying anything else, he didn't stop walking, turned and left directly.

I don't know if it's my own illusion, whether it's Seperos, Reiji, or the gradually calming Moon Moon, they all feel a deep sense of disappointment from his back.

……

What is right and what is wrong?

After recalling the experience during this period in his mind, especially thinking about his original intention of chasing and killing Lorgar, Guta still felt sincerely confused.

Murder pays for life, especially for a sinner like Lorgar who took so many lives and indirectly killed Cassius. Although he did not do it himself, after the other party's life is completely over, he should not feel the joy of revenge ?

He finally realized his own justice!

But why, what lingers in my heart is only the endless confusion and emptiness?

Even until now, I have not shown any signs of getting out of these negative emotional influences.

Did I really do something wrong, or was it just that I was too deeply affected by the memory in the dream?

Even after three full days of thinking in the confinement room alone, Guta still failed to come up with an answer to this question.

However, what is a little strange is that during this period of time, his strength has once again increased quite obviously spontaneously.

Whether it is the strength of the body, the amount of true energy, or the control over the body, compared with three days ago, they have all improved significantly.

And what's even more frightening is that this speed of improvement, even now, has no intention of slowing down.

Every minute and every second, Guta can feel that he is getting stronger.

"Could it be that I'm going to break through to a natural disaster?" Guta thought a little uncertainly.

But even after breaking through the natural disaster, it should be improved in one breath, not in a steady stream like now.

Shaking his head vigorously, he stopped thinking about the problems that tormented him. Guta raised his head, only to realize that he had already walked alone to a viewing platform near the sea in East Doruma without knowing it.

network

Because of the steepness, there are usually few people here, and the surrounding weeds are hardly cleaned up. In the howling sea breeze, it looks extraordinarily desolate.

But today, Guta unexpectedly saw a strange figure.

It was a tall but thin blond boy with a hammer on his back.

Of course, looking at the other party's state of a tuberculosis man who is about to collapse at any time, and his hair that has gradually become gray and white, the term "boy" is no longer appropriate.

At this time, he was sitting on the edge of the platform, looking at the sea in the distance, which was extremely rough with the monsoon coming.

If I remember correctly, it seems to be the last [Sick Lion] Ren?

Guta hesitated for a moment, and just as he was about to go up to say hello, the other party turned around first, smiled and said to himself:

"Meet you for the first time, Guta."

"I heard grandpa mention you a long time ago, but I didn't expect you to be far more powerful than the rumors."

"I was hesitant to say hello to you before. After all, I am the tail of the crane, and I always feel a little embarrassed, hahaha~"

The inexplicably enthusiastic Ren made Guta a little dazed for a while.

Is this guy such a warm personality?

You usually see him alone, you can't feel it at all?

Also, a lot to talk about!

……

Chapter 77 The natural disaster gem that the living must perish, the old story of the long past

Because the other party said too much in a row, Guta didn't know which sentence to start answering for a while.

With his head lowered, his eyes glanced at Ren's overly shining blond hair, and the outline of a tall skeleton compared to ordinary people, Guta tentatively asked: "Your grandfather, is it Uncle Layton? "

"Uncle?" Ren was taken aback for a moment, and then he couldn't help laughing out loud, "Grandpa is still the same, I don't like others to regard him as an old man."

The hearty high-decibel laughter made Guta unconsciously cover his ears.

Hey, are you laughing or growling?

This volume is too loud!

But all in all, the two have greeted each other.

After chatting casually about Uncle Layton's recent situation, Guta casually pointed to the shattered sledgehammer behind Ren, "You'd better change the hammer head, otherwise it will be a joke if you lose your weapon in the middle of the third round." .”

"Let's not talk about the hammer head..."

Ren scratched his cheek and asked curiously, "How do you know I've advanced?"

Based on his understanding of Guta in the past few days, it seems that the other party is not a person who will deliberately pay attention to the opponent and the promotion list.

"Although you seem to be in poor health, I can still tell if you are strong or weak."

"I can feel that surging energy from a long distance away."

"If there are no major changes, it's not a big problem for you to get promoted."

In fact, the first sentence of Guta originally intended to refer to sick and dead ghosts, but he thought it was not polite, so he changed the wording.

"Dragon Force?" He pointed to Ren's heart.

"Hey, have you been spotted?" Ren scratched his blond hair, a little embarrassed.

Compared with regular hunters, before everyone is really strong, Dragon Forces are often much stronger than other peers with the power of dragon jade or precious jade in their bodies.

This is especially true for Dragon Force Envoys who use cores above the natural disaster level.

Although it cannot completely replace the 【Extreme Intent】 mastered in the natural disaster domain, it is not comparable to the true qi below the natural disaster.

"However..." Looking across Ren's whole body, especially staying on his skinny shoulders for a while, Guta hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.

"You and your core don't seem to fit well?"

Hearing this sentence, a trace of regret flashed in Ren's eyes, and he admitted it with a sigh.

"Indeed, just like what you said, Baoyu and I didn't get along well from the very beginning."

"I don't know if it's because I've been resisting the violent anger that came with the energy, or it's simply because of my bad compatibility. In the six months since I became a dragon force envoy, most of my vitality has been taken away by that bastard. The core sucked away."

"I used to be pretty strong, not like I am now." Looking at his white joints and wrinkled skin like an old man, Ren smiled honestly.

Then coughed up a large blood clot in the next second.

Guta's expression suddenly changed.

The loss of vitality does not only affect life span.

If it is not replenished in time, even various organs in the body will become diseased.

The result will be like Ren, who starts coughing up blood after speaking a few words.

But unless one possesses the ability to arbitrarily steal the vitality of others like [Tunyuan], or takes precious medicines like the flower of life, the so-called replenishment of vitality is basically just verbal.

The vast majority of people who continue to lose their vitality are basically doomed to die.

Therefore, for Ren's relaxed expression, which seemed to be talking about others, Guta was really upset to be honest.

No one really doesn't care about their own life and death, and Rennes is no exception.

It's just that compared to despair, he chose to accept his fate calmly.

He wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, Guta really had a hard time opening his mouth.

Those who have not really faced a desperate situation, what qualifications do they have to comfort others?

Ren is not an idiot, looking at Guta's complex expression that hesitated to speak, he also knew what he was thinking at the moment.

Bowing his head and smiling, he looked at the undulating sea in the distance, pretending to be relaxed and said:

"Actually, you don't have to feel sorry for me...I had already predicted the result before implanting that precious jade."

"What do you mean?" Guta looked at him suspiciously.

Pointing to the location of his heart, Ren slowly explained: "I am not the first owner of this natural disaster-level gem. If you really want to count it, I am probably the third or fourth owner."

"After implanting this precious jade, none of my seniors survived half a year. Almost all of them were drained of their vitality in a very short period of time, and eventually died of natural causes due to insufficient lifespan, including a dragon man. .”

Hearing these words, the corners of Guta's mouth twitched slightly.

The most long-lived dragon race can be washed away in half a year, which is somewhat outrageous.
