Zhen covered his mouth and took a few steps back, as if he couldn't accept it.

Hearing the voice, Ren Zha opened his eyes with difficulty. He could only see Ying's figure in his field of vision. He said in a weak voice, "Ying, you are here? It seems that we have to wait for rescue."

Although there is no point in rescuing now.

"I wanted to show you my handsome side, but now I look very embarrassed, right?"

"You...speak less."

The clumsy Ying didn't know what to say at this time, so he could only say this.

If I had listened to my sister and come here earlier...

Ying clenched his fists. Although he knew that he and Ren Zha would be separated by life and death sooner or later, after all, human life is limited, he did not expect that day to come so soon. Just as his good friend Tengu Sasayuri died in the war with the giant snake thousands of years ago, now his little human friend would also die in the war against disaster.

"I'm in this state, but you're still so mean to me. Haha, I'm a little worried that when you grow up, someone will marry a mean woman like you."

Ren Zha was joking as he started coughing, with a few drops of blood coming out of the corner of his mouth.

I told you to talk less and yet you still talk! You still dare to make fun of me at this time!

Ying didn't argue with Ren Zha.

"You idiot, can't you just run away if you can't win?"

Wouldn't your speed become very fast if you activate the Eye of God? Run away, idiot!

"Ahem, everyone is fighting, how can I leave alone? When I think about this monster rushing into the city, and you, and Zhen, who is still waiting for me at the city gate to take over, how can I let such a monster rush into the city? Of course, I have to do my best to intercept it outside the city. As long as we intercept it outside the city, everyone in the city will be safe, right?"

Ren Zha forced a smile on his face, but considering his injuries, the smile was a little ugly:

"I have always been taken care of by everyone, now it is just my turn to protect everyone."

So you are a fool! Who needs your protection?

I told you not to do anything unnecessary. Even if it rushes into the city, I happen to be at the city gate, so nothing will happen!

If Ren Zha had known his true identity and true strength earlier, he wouldn't have fought so hard, right?

"Ahem...it seems like I don't have much time left..."

Ren Zha tremblingly took off the Eye of God from his waist with his only remaining intact hand and handed it to Ying.

"you……"

Ying looked at Ren Zha, not knowing what he meant.

"I owed you a gift when we parted last time, and I forgot to prepare one this time. This is the most valuable thing I have... Ying, this is my gift to you, please don't despise it."

What? You actually gave me this kind of gift.

After hearing this, Ying took the Thunder God's Eye from Ren Zha's hand and said solemnly: "I will cherish it."

"Don't show that expression. If you miss me, just hang my Eye of God next to your Eye of God. That way, it will be like I am by your side."

Who would think of a little devil like you!

Ying held the hand that Ren Zha extended to her, and now she couldn't say anything.

"Ren Zha..."

Zhen's voice made Ren Zha notice that Zhen was beside him. His pupils, which were about to dim, brightened up. "Zhen is here too..."

As he spoke, Ren Zha seemed to sense something, and held Ying's hand tightly. Without speaking to Zhen, he instructed Ying Zhu: "I awakened this God's Eye because I wanted to protect my companions. You and Zhen are both my most important companions. I will give you my God's Eye, so you must stay by Zhen's side in the next war..."

I have been doing this kind of thing without you telling me!

You idiot, you always talk about protecting others, but can’t you protect yourself?

"I will."

"That's good, but it's a pity that I didn't become the guard of Lord Thunder God in the end. I still feel a little regretful. So Ying, you have to work hard..."

Idiot, do you really think this is my dream?

I just hope that my friends are still around...

Ying looked at Ren Zha, opened his mouth and said:

"In fact, you have long been Thor's bodyguard. My sister is Thor. For so many years, you have always been by Thor's side. And I am actually my sister's..."

At least let you know the truth before you die...

But before Ying could finish his words, Ren Zha's eyes had already closed. If he hadn't been holding Ren Zha's hand, this hand would probably have fallen down weakly.

Ying's voice stopped abruptly, and tears really flowed from the corners of her eyes.

Ren Zha died after all. After the last separation, we finally met again, but it was truly a farewell forever.

"what the hell……"

Shadow muttered.

I lost another friend.

Ren Zha, a disciple of Hu Zhai Palace, died in the war against the dark disaster. He was attacked by the golden king beast while carrying out a transportation mission. He fought bravely and finally died.

There are only a few records about Ren Zha. His body was buried in the back mountain of the city. Hu Zhaigong, Zhen, and Ying stood in front of Ren Zha's tomb.

Hu Zhaigong felt a little guilty. If he hadn't asked Ren Zha to return to the city, this wouldn't have happened.

Initially, I accepted Ren Zha as my apprentice because I wanted to see some fun, but over the years, I really took care of Ren Zha like my own child. I didn't expect that Ren Zha would leave me in this way.

Ying also felt guilty in his heart. He clearly had the strongest martial arts power, but in the end, he was unable to stop Ren Zha from passing away.

Zhen looked at the two of them and comforted them:

"Okay, Ren Zha died to protect us and this country, so there's no need to be so sad. He left with a smile on his face, so he wouldn't want us to show that expression, right?"

Although Zhen was comforting him in this way, Kitsaigong and Ying knew that Zhen was the saddest one.

If we say who has known Ren Zha the longest and has the deepest and best feelings for him, the only one is Zhen.

"elder sister……"

Ying looked at Ren Zha's tombstone, lowered his head, and looked at the Eye of God hanging on his waist. There was only one Eye of God hanging there, and that was Ren Zha's Eye of God. The fake Eye of God that he had at the beginning had been thrown away by him long ago.

Ren Zha, I accept your Eye of God. I will protect my sister well, so please don't worry.

Chapter 16: Distant Lü Yu Clan

Hu Zhai Palace still had doubts about this. Why did the monster appear so close to the city? The barriers had been set up here a long time ago. These barriers were deliberately set up for disasters and could block the invasion of disasters.

Hu Zhaigong brought people to check the barrier and found that the barrier of this place had not been destroyed by anyone and everything was intact.

So is this a fish that slipped through the net? The Beast Realm Hound existed long before the barrier was set up... but there are some things that don't make sense.

After all, they were in a state of war, and the three did not stay here for long. When night fell, a dark wolf-shaped figure appeared in the cemetery.

When Ying heard the noise and rushed over, the surroundings were already in a mess. Ying stared with eyes wide open, looking for it, but in the end, he could only find a broken stone tablet. There was a half-written "吒" character in the broken part, which made Ying look angry.

In the end, I couldn't even save his body?

Damn it!

Shadow clenched his fists.

Damn the disaster! How should I go back and tell my sister?

Ying felt powerless for the first time.

…………

total darkness.

Am I dead?

When Ren Zha opened his eyes again, he saw a pair of vertical pupils emitting strange light in the darkness.

This pupil...

Some of them looked familiar, but even if they did, Ren Zha couldn't put his finger on where they were.

Snake pupils?

Wait, snake?

"are you awake?"

The owner of the pair of snake pupils made a questioning sound. Ren Zha quickly adapted to the dark environment and found himself lying on a bed with bandages wrapped around his body. He could still smell the scent of medicine, and in front of him was a pair of white-haired old men with strange eyes.

"Where is this place?"

Ren Zha recalled that he encountered a disaster on the way back to the city. By the time Zhen and Ying arrived, he could no longer hold on...

The old man replied in a hoarse voice: "This is the gap between the underworld and the living world."

"I have read some of the classic books collected by the teacher. After a person dies, he will go to a dark underground place called hell..."

Ren Zha looked at the dark surroundings and nodded with certainty, "So this is hell."

"That's right. There is no difference between reality and hell."

Ren Zha looked towards the old man and asked, "Then who are you?"

"Well, it's up to you to guess."

Ren Zha stared into the old man's eyes.

"Your eyes...Grandpa, are you a snake demon?"

It's like the teacher retained fox ears after transforming into a human to prove that he was a fox demon. His eyes look like snake pupils, so the probability of him being a snake demon is very high.

"But the book says that after death you will meet a bull demon and a horse demon, but it never says that you will meet a snake demon? Oh, by the way, I remember that book was written by Liyue. I am a Daozuma person, so when in Rome, do as the Romans do. That's why I met a snake demon, right?"

After all, Inazuma seldom saw cattle monsters and horse monsters, but there were many rumors about snakes. There was once a demon on Umijima Island, which was a giant snake.

"Well, what kind of soup do you want to have next?"

Ren Zha wanted to get up from the bed and move around a few times, but he felt pain under the bandages wrapped around his body.

“Hiss! It hurts! Will I still feel the pain I felt in life after I die? Will I have to live in pain like this forever? No! Why do I have to feel so much pain even after I die?”

The old man with snake pupils looked at the noisy Ren Zha and said calmly, "You can still feel the pain, which means you are still alive. But it can be said that it is a miracle that you survived. Normally, as a human, it is absolutely possible to survive such injuries, but you seem to have some obsession that forced you to hold on, and you fell into a state of suspended animation. When I found you at the foot of the mountain, I gave you a simple bandage, but even so, half of your body is almost rotten."

"Hey? Grandpa, you mean I'm still alive? I'm not dead? Did you save me?" Ren Zha showed an excited smile on his face. Not dying was of course a good thing. He sincerely thanked the old man with snake pupils, "Thank you, thank you for saving me."

Ren Zha, who was thanking, suddenly realized something and raised his eyebrows: "You picked me up?"

"A dark disaster monster attacked Inazuma and destroyed the mountain. You were buried in the cemetery there and were affected by the disaster."

"Is that so? Eh——?!!!" Ren Zha shouted, "Wouldn't it mean that in the eyes of others, there would be no trace of my body left?"

The old man with snake pupils did not change his expression. He stared at Ren Zha and continued, "I will make you repay this favor. It is too early to thank you now."

"Yes, yes, I understand. I know that we should repay kindness. But I have to go back now. Grandpa, I'm sorry, I can't stay here forever. There is still a war going on. I have to go back to help the teacher, and..."

The figures of Zhen and Ying emerged in Ren Zha's mind.

"Everyone must be very sad about my death, right? They will be very happy to know that I am not dead, right? I want to go back and continue to protect everyone!"

The old man with snake pupils showed a trace of disdain and said, "With your current body, you can't continue to fight."

Ren Zha stretched his body and indeed, it hurt just by stretching his arms.

“How can this be possible…?

I won't become disabled like this in the future, will I? Can I only lie in bed and wait for others to take care of me?

How can such a thing be acceptable!

Just think about it, I was just on a simple transport mission, but I encountered such a powerful monster. Now Zhen and Ying are still in this war. What if they also encounter some danger...

Ren Zha recalled the day when he obtained the Eye of God and saw Ying in danger... This kind of thing is unacceptable!

"Look at the reality clearly." The old man with snake eyes said in a hoarse and low voice, "This world is full of unsatisfactory things. As long as there is the concept of winners, there must be losers. The only thing that permeates the reality is depression, pain and loneliness. The longer I get, the more I understand. Listen carefully, everything in this world is the same..."

"Is the old man saying something philosophical? I don't understand it at all. Although my body may not be able to fight anymore, I should at least tell everyone that I'm still alive, so that everyone will no longer feel sorry for me..."

The old man with snake pupils did not react to Ren Zha's interruption, and asked in the same tone: "Do you really think that you are an important person in their eyes?"
