Starting from the Dragon Tribe

The deep, cold and biting murderous intention is as misty as mist in the space, and it penetrates people's souls.

The long hair as white as snow fluttered in the air, dyed a strange red by the red blood.

The ice blue armor outlines her exquisite figure, but no one pays attention to those beautiful curves. The invisible evil spirit wraps around her body, making everyone who sees it feel fear from the bottom of their hearts.

Fusheng retreated subconsciously, feeling a tingling sensation on his scalp. He knew who was coming!

This is the Valkyrie from the Heavenly Space. She is also a pioneer, but she is currently much stronger than herself!

However, an icy blue arc flashed, the light-as-snow blade flashed out, and a head with an upright crown flew high, carrying the remaining shock.

"you……"

Fusheng couldn't believe that Qianxue suddenly killed him, because according to the last contract, they should not offend each other in the next three worlds.

But the cold-looking Valkyrie did not stop her movements. She moved her hand lightly, raised her hand and struck out with a palm, using absolute power to disperse Fusheng's remaining soul.

"It's just a complete divine crystal. I told you, you have crossed the line."

After Qianxue stopped her hand, she said calmly, no longer looking at the blood mist floating in the air.

After turning around, the evil aura on her body subsided, and the cold murderous intent dissipated invisible.

In the slow turning movement, the sharp feeling she gave off disappeared, as if she had changed into a different person, from a Valkyrie to the introverted and timid girl she once was.

It seemed that she hadn't smiled for a long time, her smile was a little stiff, and she wanted to get back the feeling she had in her hometown.

"Captain, long time no see."

The strong wind bounced off the inner wall of the small world and turned into a gentle breeze, blowing the girl's hair. Her hair was white, but her appearance remained the same.

Lu Chen came back to his senses, collected his energy and blood, and recovered his injured body in an orderly manner. At the same time, he told Eriyi in the team channel, "The crisis is over, and it is safe for now."

He was very surprised when he looked at the girl in front of him, but the surprise took up more of it. He did not expect that he would be able to see his old friends from his hometown and his comrades who had fought side by side in his lifetime.

"Chihaya!?"

Lu Chen was a little unsure, because the difference between the person in front of him and in his memory was too great. Even though the other person was trying his best to restrain his aura and search for the previous feeling, it was still different.

He was a bit taller than he remembered, about 1.7 meters tall. His long black hair turned into fluorescent white, and his figure seemed to have changed slightly.

"It's me, Chihaya."

Qianxue nodded and explained: "I just changed my name after coming here. You can call me Qianxue. You can call me whatever the captain wants."

Lu Chen was relieved that the crisis was over, but he still had countless doubts in his mind and wanted to ask the person in front of him.

Qianxue saw Lu Chen's thoughts, stepped forward and grabbed Lu Chen's arm naturally, "Go and talk in the cave."

Lu Chen understood instantly and glanced at the entrance to the small world, "Is there someone watching over here?"

The two of them were extremely fast and reached the entrance of the divine cave in a blink of an eye. Inside the cave, they could still hear the sound of fighting coming from deep inside.

Qianxue took out a prop to isolate the surrounding sounds and prying eyes. As a veteran pioneer, she paid great attention to safety. In the big world, sometimes accidents might occur if she relied solely on her own shielding.

After stopping, Lu Chen withdrew his arm without leaving a trace, and asked curiously: "How did you come to this space?"

Qianxue looked at the man in front of her, her eyes twinkling with admiration, "I...it's a long story..."

Lu Chen didn't say "Let's make a long story short" at the right time. Chihaya was the first comrade he met, and he was eager to know all the details.

Moreover, he still had an unrealistic desire in his heart. Since Lu Ming was selected to enter the space, and Chihaya was also selected to enter the space, is it possible that those outstanding comrades-in-arms he once had were not dead at all and were still in the ninth century? Lounging in a big space?

This thought lingered in his mind, and he would even think of more "fantasy" things.

In Lu Chen's memory, Chihaya was a Japanese girl who had followed him for a long time. She was very smart and was responsible for intelligence, scouting, and communications.

Chihaya is not considered a very strong secret blood warrior in the special team he leads, but this is only relative, because his team is full of elites.

This girl talks little, is a bit introverted, and is timid when talking to her teammates, so in many cases, Lu Chen will not send her to attack the enemy head-on.

"Captain, do you still remember the battle in Dongbei Province that year?"

There was a look of reminiscence on Qianxue's face, she was talking about the battle that year, but she was thinking about earlier events in her mind.

In that past time, 1996 AD.

The little girl from Japan is still looking at the sea in the distance under the cherry blossom tree, wondering what the outside world is like.

She is the second daughter in the family, her second brother has already started working, and her sister is already married at the age of thirteen.

Life in the Japanese island country is very difficult. Affected by the war between the East and the West, a large number of young and middle-aged people in the country were forcibly recruited by the Shenwu Empire to be responsible for road construction and logistics, and the domestic economy was depressed.

It coincides with constant natural disasters, extremely poor crop harvests, and people starve to death every year.

Chihaya Shirakawa, who is only five and a half years old, lives in a low-income family in this country. Her father and eldest brother were deployed abroad and have not come back for two years. She only remembers that her mother often looked at the east or at the moon at night. Trance.

During the day, my mother was normal, doing some manual work in the workshop to support the family's expenses and raise her, a girl who was still growing up.

The second elder brother was not married, but only worked in and out of the docks, doing some hard work. At the age of sixteen, he was still unmarried, which was considered relatively late.

But the second brother said that the situation is very tense now, and he might be transferred from the top one day to join the army in the Shenwu Empire. Once he goes, he will not be able to come back.

Qianzao curiously asked her brother, "Why can't I come back after I went to the Shenwu Empire?"

Seeing her brother's silence, she asked, "What about my eldest brother and father? Are they unable to come back?"

The second brother was speechless when he heard her innocent question. The mother passed by and scolded the second brother.

But she still couldn't bear the curiosity, or the worry in her heart. She missed her vague father in her memory, and her brother who hugged her and looked at the sea.

But once the second brother was hesitant to speak, he would be forced back by his mother's gaze. The mother would hug her and say, "Chihaya-chan, grow up well. When you grow up, your father and brother will come back." .”

But Chihaya later learned that it was a lie, because after her mother said this to her during the day, she secretly cried alone in her room for a long time at night, and she saw it through the crack of the door.

One day, the second brother came back from work at the dock. After taking off his vest, his upper body was covered with bruises.

With a sad look on his face, he took out a bottle of sake that he had collected for a long time from home, poured it for himself, drank by himself, and got very drunk.

After getting drunk, he looked at himself crying and laughing, "Chihaya, do you think people from our small country are not human beings?"

Chihaya looked at her brother. She knew that he was sad, but she didn't know why. She couldn't understand what he said.

She asked timidly: "What is a human being?"

The second brother was stunned for a moment. He even woke up a little bit from the drunkenness, but he couldn't answer a child's question.

What is a person? Does he live like a human being?

After a long time, the second brother sighed: "I just feel that people in the Shenwu Empire don't regard the people of our country as human beings at all."

He took a sip of wine, perhaps because he was drunk, and he was at home, so he dared to talk loudly, "Obviously, we have been losing successive wars, which is very impressive to our subordinate countries."

"Your brother and I worked very hard at the dock and had to withhold wages. After complaining a few times with my fellow workers, I was beaten by the person in charge."

He put down his wine glass heavily, "They are so powerful, why don't they fight back the white-skinned pigs in the west? They will only continue to squeeze the citizens and the subordinate countries. I think this war is unwinnable."

At this time, my mother came back from work. When she saw her second brother talking, she walked up and slapped him in the face.

This surprised the second brother, because in their country, such things are rare. The second brother has grown up and is currently the only male in the family, that is, the temporary head of the family.

"What are you doing!?"

The second brother was obviously in a bad mood and roared.

The mother was very angry and pointed at her second brother and cursed: "You only know how to complain, but what was it like here twenty years ago!?"

Chihaya had never seen her mother get so angry, so she shrank in the corner in fear, not daring to say a word.

The second brother was a little silent, and the alcohol made his mind unclear. "The Westerners came over, but haven't they already left?"

Yes, Chihaya also learned about it after studying history later. Westerners had already begun to come to the East to test the waters, and the first to land were the small subordinate countries in the East China Sea of ​​the Shenwu Empire, which was their country.

At that time, it was the darkest era of Japan. Westerners rushed to the island, dug for gold and silver, killed their men, and strengthened their women. They were like livestock, enslaved and bullied by Westerners.

"Why do you think they left? It's not like the Shenwu Empire sent troops, they don't have your kind!"

The mother scolded her son, but she felt very distressed when she saw her son covered with bruises. After rummaging through boxes and cabinets, she found an ointment that was about to expire and applied it on him, "Son, people in small countries don't have human rights, but life has to take a long time." It's okay, isn't it? If you work for another two years, mom will definitely help you find a wife."

The family dinner was always silent. Chihaya ate the rice that was as thin as water. It was the second brother who finally gave some of his bowl to himself, so he managed not to be too hungry.

But she didn't expect that this would be the last time she would be able to gather three people for a family dinner.

The next day, bad news came from the dock. Western warships passed by the sea and fired test fire. The people on the dock were killed and injured, including his brother.

Chihaya didn't see his brother's body, and his mother didn't let him see it. Early the next morning, he saw his mother's body hanging on the beam in the room.

She didn't have any real feelings, she was just thinking, was she... an orphan?

She sat in front of the door, remembering that it was raining lightly that day, and the people on the road were in a hurry, and no one noticed her, a skinny and dirty little girl.

She cried, heart-wrenchingly, the rain mixed with tears sliding down her face. She had never felt that a summer day could be so cold.

This world is very indifferent, people have too much time to care for themselves, people are dying in every house, and life is not easy for every family. Some people struggle to have enough food and clothing, while others struggle to survive. No one pays attention to the reason why a girl is crying and sad.

She sat in front of the door all day and night until someone came to the door. It was a man wearing a black kimono, a rare decent man.

The man threw the finished cigarette holder casually on the ground and stepped on it, "Do you want to bury him? Half a tael of silver. If you don't bury him, we will throw him into the ditch."

Chihaya was a little confused. She couldn't understand what this adult said, "Please, may I ask... who are you?"

"The person in charge of the funeral needs half a tael of silver for your brother's burial. If you don't pay, we will do whatever we want."

The man glanced inside the door and saw his mother's body still hanging above. He shook his head, looked at Chihaya with some pity, and turned to leave.

Later, Chihaya realized that her family had no money at all, and the money her mother and second brother earned from working every day could only cover their daily expenses.

The second brother died tragically in the artillery fire of Westerners, but their family could not even afford the burial money. The woman who led her children to support the family finally couldn't bear it anymore and committed suicide.

Chihaya sat in front of the door at a loss, not knowing where to go from now on. She seemed to be the only one left at home. Should she go find everyone?

After waiting for another three days and three nights, she was so hungry that she collapsed in the corner, too thirsty to speak. When she was in a trance, she heard the sound of horse hooves on the street.

Next, she heard a burst of Eastern language that she didn't quite understand, and her face seemed to have been patted by someone.

"It's still alive, it should be usable."

The person who pulled him up was a middle-aged man wearing a kimono. He picked himself up and nodded and bowed to the Oriental officer on the horse.

I didn't hear what they were saying clearly, but later the middle-aged man pinched his face to wake him up a little, and asked: "Boy, do you want to live? Go to the Shenwu Empire in the east and you can have food."

Chihaya had no ability to think at that time. Her sadness was suppressed by her survival instinct and hunger. She nodded subconsciously, "I'm hungry..."
