456 What do you want to talk about? Isll accompany you (1/2)
This was not a world Shi Xiaobai was familiar with. It was not the human world, nor was it the world of trials created by the mysterious assessment program. Instead, it was a completely unfamiliar world that he had seen for the first time.
The reason why he knew this was because of the two different-sized suns that were hanging in the sky.
And what made him deeply understand such a fact was because of the black beams of light that were constantly being shot from every direction. Each beam was aimed directly at one of his vital body parts. It was as though the beams wanted to riddle him with holes and let him die tragically.
Therefore, this was not only an unfamiliar world, it was a mysterious and dangerous world.
And while inside such a world, he could not use any strength because he was completely drained of his energies. He felt weak.
Logically speaking, with him unable to put up any resistance, he should have died within a short period of time, but at that very moment, Shi Xiaobai remained alive after a few minutes. He maintained slow but rhythmic breaths, as he recovered his stamina at an extremely slow pace.
The reason why he was able to luckily survive was not because he still had some hidden trick that could allow him to turn the tide despite his situation, but because someone was protecting him. It was a perfect protection.
”Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng! ...”
This time, an unknown number of black beams shot from every direction. In order to protect him better, the girl split her legs and straddled above the lying Shi Xiaobai. She calmly brandished the golden sword in her hand and precisely and elegantly shattered all the black beams of light.
Thankfully, the girl was wearing trousers and a robe because she was disguised as a male, if not, Shi Xiaobai would have gotten an eyeful. But from what he could see with his head facing up, he definitely could have his mind thronged with thoughts.
The girl, who had managed to block a countless number of black beams, was breathing in a calm manner. She did not look exhausted, but her expression appeared a little flustered.
Finally, the girl could not help but say, ”Hey! I say, have you recovered the strength needed to talk?”
Shi Xiaobai gave an embarrassed smile. He had asked with great difficulty, 'what's the situation'. The girl in front of him had told him 'the situation is very complicated... we need to have a good chat', but unfortunately, he did not even have the strength to speak.
However, if it was just explaining the present situation, it did not seem like he needed to talk. It was sufficient for the girl to tell him on her own.
However, the girl seemed to have a strange obsession with 'chatting'. It was as though she needed him to recover his strength to be able to speak before she was willing to explain the situation.
Immediately following that, under the perfect protection of the girl, even though the black beams of light were shooting at them incessantly, with each wave more powerful than the other, not a single part of him was harmed. The black beams of light were shattered by the sword beams in mid-air.
Shi Xiaobai did not mind the feeling of being protected. Instead, he felt gratitude for the girl, but he knew that if it went on, the girl would be drained of her stamina in time to come. Therefore, he was constantly working hard to recover his stamina.
But his usage of Excalibur this time had completely emptied him. Not only did he not have an ounce of strength, even his self-recovery ability had also become extremely slow. After a very long time, the strength he recovered was utterly inadequate.
He probably needed a long period of sleep to fully recover, but he no longer had the time left.
And the amount of strength he had gone through great pains to recover was truly pathetically minute. If it was used to speak, it might not be able to last for long.
But at that moment, after hearing the girl urge him once again, he could sense the eagerness and thirst in the girl's sentences. Shi Xiaobai immediately fell into a dilemma.
From the looks of it, she really wanted to 'chat'?
Why did she have such a strange desire?
However, with her putting in such effort to protect him, couldn't he satisfy this tiny wish of hers?
Although 'chatting' could very well expend the pathetically minute amounts of energy that he accumulated over such a long period of time, he would have been a dead corpse if not for her.
The conclusion was very simple, wasn't it?
”Yea, This King has sufficient strength to talk, so let's have a good talk,” said Shi Xiaobai gently after he remained silent for a moment.
”Alright!”
The girl's voice was filled with an unconcealed excitement before she eagerly said, ”Then...”
However, just as she said that word, another wave of black beams shot attacked from various directions.
”Damn it!”
The girl cursed softly as her sharp eyes scanned her surroundings. Sweeping her sword, she slashed out several sword beams and precisely shattered the black beams of light. She did not waste even one sword beam.
”How can we happily chat if this continues?”
The girl grumbled softly.
Shi Xiaobai was extremely surprised. Was the girl that was standing above him that deadpan and cold Hero King who had beheaded the gargantuan? She had never had a change in expression prior to this!
The grumbling tone and the curses she muttered to herself. Wasn't...the transformation too huge?
Shi Xiaobai looked up at the exquisite face and coincidentally, the girl lowered her head. Their eyes locked as the mood suddenly turned delicate.
The girl gradually lifted her left hand as she cast her eyes at a strangely designed ring on her index finger. With a sigh, she said, ”It looks like that's the only way.”
