Civilization Guardian Front

Who is targeting Xingjia Shrine?Is the target the second son of the Toyama family or the shrine maiden Xingga?Will you sneak attack when the search and rescue leaves the shrine empty?Or hide in the dark and attack a lonely witch?

Just let them waste their extra brains and exhaust their broken wisdom to think.

Chios has only one target...

"Don't be afraid, Bai Xue..."

Whispering in a soft voice that only he could hear, the young man in a gorgeous white noble dress turned around gracefully, and walked towards the place where the two children were, taking unhurried steps.

"Because, I will find you soon."

...

Xingjia Baixue never imagined that after stepping out of the shrine, an explosion would occur on this stone path that symbolizes the outside world and freedom that she would see every day when cleaning the courtyard.

boom!

The stone steps in front of and behind him suddenly lifted, and the strong shock wave easily blew the girl's light body away, throwing her into the air.

"ah!!!"

Bai Xue only had time to let out a scream before being stunned by the shock wave, and fell into the forest beside the stone steps without any resistance.

Before her consciousness was completely plunged into darkness, she seemed to hear the sound of some flying objects breaking the wind.

However, young girls simply don't have enough experience to figure out what it is, and their vision has already begun to become hazy.

slap...

slap... slap...

(what sound?)

There were bursts of faint crackling sounds in the ears, which were somewhat similar to the sound of burning firewood when a bonfire was lit during a ceremony at the shrine in Bai Xue's impression.

Burning... firewood...?

By the way... I encountered an explosion... It seems... still alive?

Consciousness gradually became clear, and the brain that was temporarily chaotic after the shock began to resume operation, and the girl felt the feedback from the body and limbs again.

She slowly opened her eyes...

"Cheat, lie..."

What was reflected in those black pupils was a continuous sea of ​​purgatory flames.

The dazzlingly bright flames covered everything in front of the eyes, and the old trees with a history of more than a hundred years lost their lush leaves on their branches under the flame tattoos, leaving only the dark remnants that continued to struggle under the karmic fire.

The slight popping sound and splashing sparks produced by burning wood seem to be the feeble screams of these ancient trees and the pus and blood flowing out of the old body.

The blades of grass on the ground were burned and twisted, and even the areas that had not been spread by the fire began to turn yellow and dry under the high temperature...

The deep and choking smoke filled the air, soared up and covered the sky, and the evening glow was completely blocked out.

"No... if you don't get out of here quickly..."

Saying so, the girl quickly looked around, but...

I couldn't see the shrine, couldn't find the direction, including Toyama Kinji.

Even the stone steps going down the mountain were blocked by the ubiquitous fire wall at this time, and they could not be found at all.

"Wuuuuuu..." Bai Xue, who was only five years old, faced such a predicament, her eyes turned red immediately.

"The way out...where...I don't know..."

Tears fell drop by drop to the ground and were quickly absorbed by the soil.

Some pungent burnt smell came together through the scorching hot air that gradually heated up.

Like a foretelling of the imminent death, the black-haired girl who was at a loss trembled all over.

(Just being burned to death or something...I don't want it!)

Rubbing his eyes with a little dusty little hand, he forced himself to stand up with a will to survive.

Fortunately, even though she was blown away by the explosion, Baixue was not harmed. There were a few short and soft bushes where she fell, which slowed down the impact for her.Although the fire is continuing to spread, it will not spread to her location in a short time.

Covering her mouth and nose with the sleeves of the long and drooping maiden uniform, Xingjia Baixue avoided the fire wall and walked downwind of the direction of the airflow.

She has no knowledge about fire, but just follows her intuition and instinct, and the desire to survive constantly stimulates the power in her body, allowing her to walk through the maze of flames.

However, just when Bai Xue thought she could continue walking until she was out of the flames.

slap...

"ah!"

Her feet slipped, and the black-haired girl fell backwards and fell to the ground.

Looking carefully at her right foot, she found that the straw she was wearing was so thick that the upper shoelace suddenly broke.

But her bad luck goes beyond that.

next moment...

A burning tree seemed unable to withstand the continuous smoldering of the karmic fire, it swayed a few times, and finally fell towards where Bai Xue was.

"!!!"

Chapter 180 Five? First meeting

"!!!"

Staring blankly at the fallen trees, Xingjia Baixue's mind was blank at the moment.

His whole body was limp, unable to use any strength, and he didn't even have the last struggle to raise his hand in front of his body, just watching the giant tree gradually enlarge in his field of vision...

The flames of the burning trees are bright, clearly reflecting the direction in which they fell, and the pale face and despairing eyes of the black-haired girl on the ground.

The pitch-black branches scorched by the flames were as ferocious as the minions of hell's evil spirits, and they went straight to Bai Xue, who had no resistance at all.

In this desperate moment...

A tall figure suddenly appeared in the girl's dark eyes.

In the sea of ​​flames all around, the noble dress with pure white background, navy blue forging cloth and light gold trim shines brightly, the dark blue gold pattern cloak flutters in the blazing wind, and the handsome side face with mid-length black hair hangs a dignified look Green, amethyst-colored eyes stared at the giant tree in front of him.

The young man stretched out his hand, and in the blink of an eye, he drew blue-black characters that radiated light according to a peculiar trajectory.

"Steel of Doom."

As soon as the words fell, the burning ancient tree fell straight down.

boom!

Trees weighing more than ten tons smashed on the prismatic transparent barrier like a battering ram, cutting three cracks in it immediately.

Circles of black ripples flashed, repairing the broken marks in an instant.

Then, the black-haired man flicked his hand casually, and the transparent barrier was like an abandoned shield, dragging the giant wood and throwing it aside.

The blue-black rune and the barrier dissipated at the same time, and the burning trees lost their support and fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

"What a close call..."

When the calm and gentle voice came, the young man turned around and smiled at Xingjia Baixue.

"Are you okay?"

"Ah..." Bai Xue opened her mouth, but found that her language function seemed to have stopped, and she couldn't speak any words.

She could only nod in response.

"It's rare to travel to Japan. I didn't expect to see a forest fire. I wondered if anyone would need my help. It was great to arrive immediately..."

The quiet and soft words make people unconsciously follow the tone and soothe their emotions.

"In the face of adversity, I still don't give up looking for an exit, and use my own tiny strength to pursue a ray of life..."

Walking forward, he half-kneeled in front of the girl, put his warm and slender hands on top of her head, and gently stroked Bai Xue's soft black hair as if comforting.

"You're doing great, kid."

Facing the fear of natural disasters and the fear of the rest of life alone...

All kinds of emotions that a five-year-old girl should not have to bear, all returned to Bai Xue's body with the young man's gentle head touching movements.

"Woo... woo..."

The tears could no longer be stopped. The black-haired girl with delicate appearance like a doll threw herself into the arms of the man in front of her, clutching his collar with her small hands and sobbing.

In this hellish situation, there is no safer place than here.

"I just...wanted to see the world beyond the shrine...I sneaked out...I didn't expect...uh...I didn't expect..."

Fragmentary and trivial words, it will take some time for others to understand.

However, the young man who was the instigator of all disasters naturally would not fail to understand what Bai Xue was thinking at the moment.

"It's okay, I'm by your side..." Patted the girl's slender back, approached the empty-hearted Bai Xue's ears, and slowed down her words to comfort:

"I will not allow anything to hurt you, I swear."

"Um..."

When the girl lying on the young man's chest heard these words, she couldn't help but bury her head even deeper against the young man's head.

In the sea of ​​flames all over the mountains and plains, the scene of young people and girls embracing each other is like a beautiful scroll.

Just indulging in the young man's arms for a long time, smelling the noble and mature scent of oak and hazelnut perfume on his body, Bai Xue almost forgot the danger of the environment she was in, and wanted to fall asleep in this man's arms.

The girl who had forgotten her situation was not reminded by the youth, but her waywardness was gently indulged.

It wasn't until the choking smell of burning smoke entered her nose and nose that Bai Xue realized that she had stayed in the arms of a stranger for so long, and even forgot to escape.

The embarrassed girl quickly backed away from Chios, a blush appeared on her immature face illuminated by the firelight.

"Yeah, I'm sorry, I..."

Folding her hands in front of her body politely, the well-educated girl wanted to solemnly apologize to the person in front of her.

"Don't be so cautious..." Chios interrupted Baixue's words with a wave of his hand, and then pointed to the broken straw sandals under the girl's feet.

"The shoe is broken, you take it, I will take you out of here first, and then fix it for you."

The words are still gentle, but with an unquestionable majesty.

The young girl had no way to deal with it, she could only blushed and nodded.

Chios didn't waste any more time, reached out to pick up Baixue's back and slender legs, and held her on his chest in the way of a princess hug.

"Let's go."

"yes..."

Although he was a little shy about the action of the young man hugging himself, girls who had not yet reached the teenage stage of emotional budding felt more at ease.

A faint smile appeared on his face, Chios put his toes on the ground, and his whole body rushed towards the sea of ​​flames in front of him like an arrow from the string.

While holding the girl, his fingers can still draw a pennant-like rune.

"gas"

A stream of air was generated around the light green text, which enveloped Chios and Baixue and made his movements more swift.

Looking at the oncoming raging flames, the black-haired girl couldn't help but close her eyes.

However, she didn't feel the heat of the scorching tattoo, she only felt the breeze blowing by her side.

Opening her eyes again, Bai Xue finally understood the reason...

The airflow surrounding the two of them gently and decisively pushed away all the flames that tried to engulf them, cutting through the walls of fire in front of them.

Natural disasters that cannot be resisted by manpower are like docile sheep in front of young people, and they automatically retreat to the sides.

"Amazing..."

There was admiration in the black pupil, and Bai Xue couldn't help but look up at Chios.

For some reason, the heart in the left chest started beating violently at this moment.

It's a pity that a girl with too immature experience and knowledge doesn't understand what this throbbing represents.

Sensing the girl's gaze, the running young man slightly bowed his head, and asked softly with an intoxicating smile:
