Chapter 77 The Forerunner
"I can't stop. I must find Achen and the others. I also need to find the location of the Herrscher and open up a path for everyone."
Ye Xiaoyu walked hard on the road. Ye Xiaoyu's current speed could be said to be a turtle speed. The closer he got to the front, the stronger the wind became.
Ye Xiaoyu suddenly felt a sharp pain. She found that her Valkyrie armor had been cut by the wind, and the wind blew directly in along the damaged area.
She felt as if her feet were almost losing consciousness.
Ye Xiaoyu had already prepared for the worst.
"Don't you regret it? You sacrificed your life in vain like this. You can't do anything and you are walking here confused."
A voice questioned Ye Xiaoyu, and Ye Xiaoyu smiled softly.
"It's okay, I don't regret it...if I die, there will be many people who will make the same choice as me."
Confused? Isn't Ye Xiaoyu himself confused? I feel confused about the few roads left, so confused that I almost give up.
I have to persevere, I must find the captain and complete my mission.
So, at least when you struggle until the last moment, you can comfort yourself in this way when you can say to yourself, "I tried my best."
An hour...two hours...
Ye Xiaoyu became more and more tired, his consciousness became more and more blurred, and his body was already crumbling.
Ye Xiaoyu, who was infinitely close to coma, had a dream. In the dream, he returned to the auditorium on the day of graduation. Like the people around him, his eyes were sparkling, full of expectations for the future.
Thinking back to what Jiang Chen said back then, we are all standing here because of the efforts of our seniors.
Looking back, I saw countless juniors who had not yet graduated, looking worriedly at the people ahead, just like myself.
Let's go...towards the unknown, ask for the way through death, and open up a path for the people behind, just like the predecessors did.
Ye Xiaoyu remembered a song Jiang Chen once sang next to him.
"Ah Chen, you sing so beautifully. What's the name of this song?"
"This song is called the long journey home. It sings about bidding farewell to yesterday and setting off on the journey. Keep the past admonitions in mind. Even if the road ahead is bumpy, don't forget the original intention. With the courage and faith left behind by the forerunners, we can finally break through dark."
After speaking, Jiang Chen continued to sing the song.
"The flames are spreading in the distance
Forerunner's robes stained with blood
I will say goodbye to yesterday’s campus
With everything I've ever been taught
The golden age of dreams sprouts
The era of fire counterattack is rekindled
Some roads emerge from the ruins
Those are the footprints of countless forerunners
Scarlet bonfire illuminates the face
The rusty blade cuts the palm
faith as light
Wounds become trenches
Please wait and fight side by side with me
The wind and sand stung my cheeks
Walk through the wilderness and then through the deep valley
I want to give up but I always keep thinking about it
Those distant and firm figures
Stars gazing at the ocean
The ocean embraces the sail
Now I finally open my arms
Now let me take over the relay
Let the sharp sword in your hand pierce the long night
Withstand the storm with a body of flesh and blood
Even if I'm bruised all over
Even if you hit rock bottom
Grit your teeth and keep fighting
Today I have it in my hands
Tomorrow is given by today's will
Difficulties ahead
You and I are still rushing to
For tomorrow, for tomorrow, for tomorrow”
Ye Xiaoyu thought of the song Jiang Chen sang, Jiang Chen's singing sounded in his heart, and he stepped forward and continued moving forward.
However, the physical injuries made Ye Xiaoyu's legs weak and he was about to fall down when suddenly two hands supported Ye Xiaoyu.
It's Anna and Nanmu.
"Xiaoyu, you bastard, you secretly went to such a dangerous place alone, you guy."
"Xiaoyu, we are a team and we have to face this together. How can you be so selfish?"
Hearing the voices of Nan Mu and Anna, Ye Xiaoyu felt very at ease in her heart, which came from the mutual support between partners.
"Everyone..." Ye Xiaoyu had tears in her eyes. She didn't expect that her partner would come to such a dangerous place to find her. "Thank you everyone... let's go find the captain together and end this wind field."
While several people were still talking, a sudden strong wind blew over. Ye Xiaoyu, Nan Mu and Anna directly used knives to fix their bodies so that they were not blown away by the strong wind.
Several figures appeared, and their bodies were wrapped in a strange force.
"Destined Valkyrie, I didn't expect you to arrive here."
A woman at the head said in surprise.
"Don't worry about it, just kill them now that they're here and let fate see how good we are."
After saying that, the woman rushed over with a knife in her hand and slashed directly at Ye Xiaoyu and the others.
Nan Mu stepped on the ground, took out his ax, and directly blocked the woman's attack.
Because Nan Mu entered this wind field and consumed too much energy, he was no match for this woman.
Seeing that they could no longer withstand it, Anna and Ye Xiaoyu picked up their weapons and went directly to help Nan Mu. The three of them barely managed to knock the woman away.
"Ahem, cough, cough...this Honkai energy reaction, they are Mimesis."
Ye Xiaoyu spat out a mouthful of blood and said in shock.
"This Herrscher has already catalyzed the Herrscher Mimesis. She may already be a complete body."
"Sister Xiaoyu, Sister Nanmu, you two leave quickly, I will stop them. As long as we find Achen and Qiana, we will find a way to solve this problem."
Anna analyzed the situation and wanted Ye Xiaoyu and Nan Mu to leave.
"No, let me do it. I'll cut off your queen."
"Let me come. I'll stop them. You two go first."
"You two, stop fighting and run away, or it will be too late."
While the three of them were still arguing, the few Herrscher-like ones in front rushed over.
"Since you don't want to leave, then all of you should stay. I will use your corpses to tell the destiny of our revenge."
Nan Mu picked up the ax and stopped a Herrscher that was rushing towards him. The Herrscher seemed to have cyan Honkai energy on his body. For a moment, Nan Mu felt gusts of wind pressure pressing down on him.
"You want to find your captain."
The Herrscher-like person spoke with a joking tone.
"Your captain is dead. Just give up your resistance."
Nan Mu snorted coldly and said:
"Stop dreaming."
Nan Mu exerted all his strength and directly ejected the Herrscher.
Nan Mu knelt on the ground, feeling that his eyes were beginning to blur and his arms were shaking.
Anna got rid of the Herrscher that was pestering her, came to Nan Mu and helped Nan Mu up.
"Sister Nanmu, how are you?"
Nan Mu coughed and said weakly:
"I'm fine. If we fight like this, we won't be able to hold on..."
