Suddenly the bag of chestnuts in my hand fell to the ground as a flash of a knife passed, the nuts rolling around at my feet. Looking at it, I was so amazed that I couldn't speak. I raised my head to look up at Alfine, then shook my head and looked at the space beside me again. A short knife was hurled beside me, pinning a cobra's head. His mouth was wide open, his eyes staring at me. It wiggled violently for a moment, gradually weakened, and finally remained motionless.My brain started working and putting everything together.To think I could be so careless that such a giant snake crawled up to me without noticing. If it weren't for Alfine to see me and throwing the knife down, I would have been bitten by that giant snake. Alfine looked at me coldly, my lips moved, and I couldn't say a word.What I want to ask is, how strong is Alfine now?The branch he was lying on was quite far from me, but he quickly spotted and killed the snake with lightning speed. Unable to control myself, I t

Alfine let go of me and stood up, and after a moment of observation, his voice deepened. "Unable to open from the outside, its legs are deeply embedded in the ground and secrete a mucus that forms excellent adhesion."Lagan frowned and began cursing, and after a moment of helplessness to find his way out, he sighed. “I guess he's not here right now; this damn thing is pre-installed when there's an intruder. This one has a switch that can open it; I'm sure it's inside the house."Alfine pondered something; then, he turned his head to look at me. "I'll go inside and find the switch."I immediately reacted to his words. "I'll go with you."“Stand still here.” After saying that, Alfine left.I helplessly followed his back and sighed.Lagan sat on the ground and laughed. "Ignore him, healthy young man; let him do as he pleases."“I guess your friend is tough,” I said as I tried to lift the cage but to no avail."Not only is he tough, he's weird, but he's not bad." Lagan laughed. “I was acc

“Have you seen the Blood Clover yet?” Alfine asked."While you were in a coma, I looked around; I didn't see anything." I honestly replied."It seems we cannot get it unless he gives it himself," Alfine spoke heavily.There was a rustling sound outside the door; I saw two dark shadows stretching on the ground.I quickly stood up, suddenly seeing Caser and Lagan chatting happily.Wasn't it a few hours ago that it was almost killing each other? How can it be so peaceful now?Seeing my surprise, Lagan happily explained. “We cleared the misunderstanding; he even said tomorrow he would give us Blood Clover to bring back to save Ryan.”"Really?" I don't know how to describe my feelings now; I can only nod repeatedly to show my gratitude to Caser. "I know you're a good person, thank you very much."Caser didn't show any emotion; he nodded as if accepting my thanks and then turned his eyes to Alfine. “Wake up? Then tell me, how do you compensate me for those snakes?”Alfine was silent; in thi

“NO…” I yelled until my throat hurt.I was like a fool waking up from a trance; my eyes restored their color, and the dark red pupils gradually disappeared.I turned pale when I saw Alfine's loss; I shouted a warning to Alfine. “Alfine, to your left.”Alfine rolled his eyes and lay down just in time to dodge a fatal blow from Caser.After Lagan had recovered a little, he approached me; he did not immediately tell me about my abnormal state a few minutes ago. Even so, I could easily see the doubt and astonishment in his eyes, but I overlooked that detail because I thought he was worried about Caser.I was surprised to see Lagan's clothes in disarray and the wound on his chest; it was like being stuck in a claw. “What's wrong with you, Mr. Lagan? Caser attacked you?”Lagan raised his head, looked at me thoughtfully, then nodded heavily."The wound is too deep." I frantically searched for a clean towel in my backpack and returned. “Let me bandage you temporarily.”"Do not need." Lagan tu

Without stopping, that voice began to ring out; this time, she carried a ghostly sound. ‘Erza, no one in this world understands you better than me. I know what you think. Have the courage to look inside yourself and see what you want. Are you struggling? You are agonizing between two streams of thought. One is to kill Caesar and bring back the Blood Clover. The second is to stand by and watch our mate die. Erza, you can't be so selfish; Ryan saves your life. Why are you willing to let go now that the opportunity to save him is right in front of you?' Her voice trailed off with a broken cry like she was also suffering.Every time that cry rang out, I felt my nerves stretch and then snap, a feeling that was not pleasant at all.I whispered tiredly. “After all, what are you?”This time she replied very quickly. 'It's nothing; I'm you; you're me. Erza, release me; please free me from this dark place. If you can't, I'll help you save Ryan.'“Are you telling the truth?” I whisper like an id
