I am the former civilized hero.

"This continent has long been saturated with Honkai energy. Humans cannot contact the outside world. Even if there is a conspiracy, how can it be coordinated?"

“But they found me.”

"It's really troublesome."

The two looked at each other in silence. This trump card was exposed before it could be used. You know, if a non-existent Herrscher suddenly appeared in the battle, it would be overwhelming.

"So we can't let them leave alive. This is our lair. Even if he comes, he will die." Death Law came barefoot and licked his lips with his nimble tongue. "Besides, you really want to taste the taste of real humans, don't you? Honkai beasts are tired of eating them, right?"

"Of course, it's not bad to do some post-meal exercise. You, send the remaining dominant body out to coordinate and command, is there any problem?"

"No problem." The blonde woman rode on the dragon's back and glanced at the other dragons. "What about you? Do you want to start this hunting patrol?"

"I agree."

“It has to be done.”

There was no wrangling, no buck-passing, and the four Herrschers were able to reach a consensus in a few seconds. This efficiency was countless times higher than that of the Fire Council. Afterwards, there was no need to even convey orders, only a snap of the fingers was needed.

Snapped.

The strange Honkai energy swept around like a hurricane, and the Honkai beasts that were originally wandering around like headless flies all froze. After another second, they instantly split into hundreds of groups as if in order, and headed towards the surroundings under the leadership of the Emperor-level and Judgment-level Honkai beasts flying in the air.

Ten minutes after Ryan took action, after a few brief exchanges, the hunt began.

......

"This reaction speed is too fast."

The vibrations of Honkai energy in the air could not be hidden from Ryan at all. He had already jumped out of the encirclement and was hiding in a cave with Hua.

Hua straightened his back immediately. His perception was not as sharp as Ryan's, but he could still detect something wrong when reminded, such as the slight tremor of the ground, and his expression became tense.

It was indeed too fast. The organized pursuit began in just a few minutes. You have to know that this amount of time was not even enough to convey the order.

"Brother, should we fight or flee?" The girl was a little nervous and spoke very quickly.

"Only fools would fight. This is their territory. These tens of thousands of Honkai beasts alone can kill you."

"So...scatter and flee?"

"Stupid, you really want to be the bait." Ryan hit the girl lightly on the head, feeling a little amused.

Huawei was almost obsessed with helping, and was trying its best to show itself.

"Ah, then what do you say we should do?" Hua rubbed his head and was about to speak when he suddenly saw Ryan taking off his power armor.

"Of course I hid it right there."

The power armor disassembled and quickly reassembled in automatic mode. Its interior was not empty, but a ball of powerful Honkai energy replaced the flesh. Under the influence of the authority of "domination", it changed from a protective gear to a puppet.

The power of thunder formed a thin beam of light, cutting the ground like tofu. In the blink of an eye, a tunnel was formed. Ryan hugged Hua and went all the way down, making an 'L'-shaped turn at the end.

The power armor was huge to begin with, just enough to block the entrance of the cave. The mirage system was deployed, and everything returned to normal.

All preparations were completed within a few seconds. Hua was still a little dazed. He glanced at Ryan in front of him and just opened his mouth.

"Shh, they're coming."

buzzing...

The narrow shelter began to tremble. God knows how many Honkai beasts rolled past. They scattered like ants, searching every inch of land. It was obvious that they knew that the enemy could come here and must have some stealth methods.

It could be mental detection, or some weird detection ability, or simply using the body to cast a net and explore.

Never complaining, never tired, and extremely meticulous, this made Ryan hold his breath slightly. He could feel the fierce momentum that wanted to find him and grind him to ashes.

He was a little nervous, but not completely nervous. Even if he was discovered, there was still a chance that he could break out. So he glanced at Hua casually and couldn't help but laugh.

The girl had a tense face and clenched her fists as she lay on the ground. She looked like a tigress ready for battle, or a hen ready to spread her wings at any time.

Hua was really nervous. She had a lot of combat experience, but she had never seen such a scene before.

The communication was cut off. They were in the center of a strange continent. Above their heads, there were thousands of Honkai beasts searching everywhere with red eyes. Behind them were four Herrschers and an unknown number of rebels.

Even Ryan would be crushed into a pulp with such an absolute advantage in combat power, but she had already made up her mind.

If we really get discovered, I will be the first one to rush out. Not only can I provide cover, but without me as a burden, Ryan will definitely be able to break out. No one can catch up with me in terms of speed.

Although he was enlightened, Hua was still unwilling to give up. There were still many things he had not done and many things he had not said.

At this moment, she suddenly felt her hands being patted. She subconsciously raised her head and saw Ryan smiling at her, opening his mouth and silently lip-syncing.

"Are you nervous? Do you find it exciting?"

"Of course I'm nervous. And don't joke with me at a time like this."

Ryan was stunned. Hua rarely refuted him, but he had a good emotional intelligence and quickly understood the girl's psychology.

This is because he has made up his mind to sacrifice himself, fearing that he would linger due to weakness and fail to serve as a good bait.

It was a bit of overthinking, but from Hua's perspective, she really had to think so much.

Because she is expendable, Ryan cannot be trapped.

"Okay, don't be so nervous. Even if we are discovered, I can still get you out. You told me to trust me."

"Of course I believe it, but what is the success rate?"

"About 30 percent." Ryan answered silently, and when he saw the girl's bright eyes dim, he rolled his eyes.

He is worthy of being called a wooden stake. He is so stubborn.

He knew how stubborn his junior sister was. Once she felt that her judgment was correct, nothing could change her mind.

Ryan thought about it, and was too lazy to talk nonsense, so he simply crawled forward, suddenly hugged her in his arms, and whispered in her ear:

"Don't think too much. I won't die, and I won't let you take risks. Just be obedient."

Hua instinctively wanted to struggle, thinking that you said the success rate was 30%, but Ryan was holding her so tightly that she didn't dare to use force. If she alarmed the Honkai beast above, wouldn't that be suicide?

Moreover, Ryan's embrace seemed to have some magic. The muscles that were tense just now suddenly became relaxed, and even the iron-hard determination began to soften.

She buried her face in Ryan's shoulder, greedily inhaling the man's breath, and suddenly, her eyes rolled.

"Eh, seems like a blessing in disguise? No, the current situation is too dangerous, Hua, you can't think of anything rash."

"But my brother hasn't hugged me for a long time. It's really a good idea to force myself to come with him. It's worth it even if I die with him. No, I can sacrifice myself, but my brother must not fall into danger. This idea is really shameful."

The stubborn fighting spirit just now subsided, and Hua felt her mind was confused, as if there were two little people fighting in her head. You know, she was still complaining a few hours ago.

She finally got a chance to go out alone with Ryan, but this idiot was wearing an airtight power armor, which made all the love magazines she had been cramming recently useless.

After all, no matter how powerful those masters of love were, no one could teach them how to get close to a two-meter-tall steel giant. In a sense, she was really grateful to the Herrscher.

If they hadn't been plotting and hunting him, Ryan would never have taken off his power armor, let alone been alone in this small space.

Is this a blessing in disguise?

Hua was not quite sure, so he just quietly raised his hand and hugged Ryan's back.

This girl is having wild thoughts again, isn't she?

Ryan was summarizing what he had seen and heard, and was slightly distracted by Hua's active hug. Supervision was just an excuse, as he just wanted to see the growth of his junior sister.

The beasts were getting closer and closer, dust was already falling from their heads, and he felt the girl in his arms tense her muscles again, so he added a bit of strength.

"Remember the last time you knelt down and hugged like this?"

"Well, when I was in junior high school, a few people bullied me. That night you held me like this, and disappeared after dawn. When I went out to look for you, the matter was resolved."

Hua lowered his voice, each image imprinted in his mind.

At that time, Ryan had just come to learn boxing. Hua, who had always been dull, was bullied at school. After he fought back and injured several classmates, the people from the opposite family came forward to retaliate.

The mayor, the gangster boss, is a behemoth to the dilapidated martial arts school. Just as his father was about to fight to the death, he saw Ryan pushing the door back, and the blood stains on the boy's white clothes were still vivid.

"'I gave them an excuse they couldn't refuse. Boil some water. I want to take a shower.' That's what you said at the time."

"Did I say that? You must have remembered it wrong." Ryan's face turned red, his dark history was dug up again. He had killed so many people that he couldn't remember how he solved it.

"That's what you said, I remember it clearly!" Hua nodded firmly. He caught a glimpse of the soil starting to turn red, but he couldn't muster up the energy and just hugged Ryan tighter.

At that time, just like at this moment, the girl is no longer so weak, but the boy is the same as before, without any change.

"Senior Brother." Hua felt his own heartbeat. He didn't need to be stubborn or change the subject. He just had to muster up his courage.

"Hmm?" Ryan stared at the red light that was penetrating, gathering all his energy, and then he felt a hint of softness and coolness on the side of his face, and a slight heat penetrated into his ears.

"No matter how the world changes, you are my goal and my hero."

Chapter 343: The whole body is hard, but the mouth is soft!

The breath was warm, but the touch was cold. Ryan's eyes widened slightly, but soon became calm again.

Hua is indeed different from other Yingjies. He knew him too early and was influenced too deeply. This reminded him of a trivial matter.

The so-called inscription of "Floating Life", according to Alicia, means "Life is full of failures and successes", to put it simply, it means perseverance.

He was very surprised at the time, thinking that Hua was well protected by him and should not have experienced any setbacks. Now he suddenly realized that the biggest setback came from himself.

Hua wanted to catch up with him, no longer be his junior sister, or even his junior, but to be able to walk shoulder to shoulder with him on an equal footing. Then, after being left behind so that she couldn't even see his back, she would desperately get up and continue to move forward. Isn't this perseverance?

When did Alicia know this much? It would be great if she could use this kind of intelligence in battle.

Ryan sighed. Mebius was twisted by the victory or defeat, but Hua's thoughts were quite normal, mixed with a bit of fear and inferiority. He was just competing with himself.

She wasn't as smart as Mebius, she didn't have Sakura's fighting power, she didn't even have Aponia's unique charm, not to mention Eden's elegant golden glow, like grass swaying in the wind under the sun.

But how to say it, just like air, ordinary, ubiquitous and indispensable, Ryan has long passed the stage of measuring the significance of each person with cold values, but he agrees with Hua's mentality.

Besides, this girl is tough all over except her mouth which is very soft.

Some words are hurtful when spoken. He thought about it and put his mouth next to Hua's ear: "Don't worry, if you are afraid of being left behind, I will hold your hand tightly."

These words were plain, but they caused the girl's pupils to shrink suddenly, reflecting the red light above her head, which was about to touch Ryan's hair.

I'm about to be discovered. I should rush out and lure the Herrscher far away, at least to buy him some time. But why, I have no motivation at all?

Hua found herself in a very strange state, as if the realization she had just had disappeared in an instant. She just held the man in her arms and nodded slightly, barely perceptible.

"Ah."

"That's right, you can't steal the limelight from your senior brother, just be obedient." Ryan laughed and snapped his fingers lightly, "Now, watch my movements carefully!"

Just one second before being detected——
