I, with a long knife in my hand, can only do one move

"Rick..." Cheng Rang called out.

He just hummed in a low voice, signaling that he was listening.

"Are you still a virgin?"

puff!

Cheng Rang seemed to hear the sound of something piercing Rick's chest, and the man in his arms trembled violently.

"I'm still a virgin, but I'm really sorry for you. Can such a violent black ash not stop your mouth? And why did you suddenly jump to this topic?"

"Because rushing is a bit boring, I have to adjust the atmosphere."

Cheng Rang would even talk to himself in a low voice when he was on his way alone. It may be an old problem, and he always felt that if he kept silent, something would happen to him.

"I have no idea what you're thinking."

"I didn't say Rick, it's been five years. As the leader of the settlement, why doesn't he think about having children? In this case, besides surviving, what humans need to consider is reproduction, right?"

"You're right in saying that, but I don't have the time."

"Hey~ I understand that you are very busy, but for such a reason... Could it be that you also yearn for a beautiful love? You are really a romantic guy from the bottom of your heart..."

"Anyone with a romantic heart in this situation is an idiot like you."

After Rick answered in this way, the people behind him stopped talking.

And he was so happy that his ears were clear, and continued to concentrate on riding on the road.

Until a few hours later, the two had already changed horses once.

"Aren't you hungry?" The guy behind him began to ask this kind of boring question again.

"At least you can't stop until you reach the mountains. Do you want to eat these things together?"

What Rick was referring to was the black ash that was still falling around.

"Then we're not far away. Look, we're just ahead." Cheng Rang patted Rick on the shoulder and pointed his finger to the distance.

Following the direction Cheng Rang pointed, the two of them were indeed approaching the mountains before they knew it.

This time seems to be shorter than Rick imagined.

But then he figured it out, maybe the guy behind him had been chatting with him with strange words and dirty jokes, so that the lonely road would not be so boring, so the time became faster.

Eh, strange?

Rick couldn't help thinking, if he said that, shouldn't he feel even more miserable?

Rick's whole body trembled suddenly. Could it be that he really felt that he had a very speculative chat with the guy behind him, and that's why he felt that the time has sped up!

It is up to Rick to decide whether this idea is due to Cheng Rang being an interesting guy himself or to the 65 points of favorability of the human camp in the system.

"Ah, by the way Rick, by the way, I'm not a virgin anymore, my wife is so beautiful!"

Rick's mouth twitched violently.

This kind of boring guy should be destroyed!

——This immediately confirmed my thoughts.

Chapter 10 Both weapons and girls can be wives, is that wrong?

Three days had passed since the journey, and even if Rick didn't want to, he had gradually gotten used to talking to the guy behind him who kept looking for topics to chat with him.

After all, apart from topics other than being a virgin, chatting with him is quite interesting.

"The journey was pretty smooth, and I didn't encounter other races."

In a leeward mountain crack, Rick and Cheng Rang sat around on the ground, looking at the map in their hands.

"Our final destination is here." Rick pointed to a marked location with his finger, and his fingertips walked back along the route.

Then click twice on one place: "Now we are here."

"The next step is to climb a mountain."

"Yes, we need to bypass the sphere of influence of the orcs here."

"learn."

Cheng Rang carefully looked at the map in Rick's hand, which clearly marked all resource points, hiding places for supplies, shortcuts and so on.

There are also spheres of influence of other races, and even the layout of the battlefield.

A simple inquiry revealed that it took Rick and the others five years to perfect this map, and thus many people were sacrificed.

Putting away the map, the two chose to take a rest here.

"Go to sleep for a while, I'll be on the alert." Cheng Rang asked Rick to do so, because for three consecutive days, his total sleep time was less than three hours, and his overall state seemed sluggish.

"Well, wake me up in 15 minutes." Rick grabbed the rucksack and put it under his head, turned over to face the dark side of the crack.

"It doesn't matter if you don't have to be so hard on yourself, you guy."

Cheng Rang patted him on the head hard, and then he was stared at by Rick with some dissatisfaction.

Sitting cross-legged next to Rick, Cheng Rang looked at the black ash falling outside the mountain.

The sky was still dark red, and the sun could not be seen.

However, Cheng Rang, who has lived in HL for a long time, and the humans here have become accustomed to it.

brush--

A tiny light flashed in the sky, which instantly caught Cheng Rang's attention.

what is that? !

If it were someone else, it would be impossible to spot the fleeting shadow in the distant sky, because the speed is too fast.

But Cheng Rang's vision beyond ordinary people clearly caught the abnormality.

It looks like, a guy with wings growing from his waist.

Flügel?

As far as Cheng Rang knew, the only ones with such racial characteristics should be the Flügel.

Although it is the sixth race among the fifteen races, this ranking is only based on the adaptability of the elves. Although it is also related to combat power to a certain extent, the Flügel is recognized as the race with the strongest combat power.

How could the Flügel appear here? It would be far-fetched to say that it was a walk...

However, the Flügel should not have sensed the two of them. After all, as human beings, without any reaction from elves, under the cover of black and gray, as long as they didn't bump into their faces, they would basically not be easily detected.

In other words, as Flügels, even if they discovered it, they would not

Care about it.

It's like walking in the jungle and passing a few ants by your feet. If you squat down and search carefully, you may be able to find and crush them to death, but if you walk normally, you don't want to care about them at all.

Flying in the sky at such a speed, there are hundreds of kilometers away from them in the blink of an eye, and the direction does not seem to change.

Safety....

With a click, Cheng Rang closed the spiritual needle plate in his hand. Due to the distance and speed, the pointer on it didn't even show signs of swinging.

This is a device used by humans to detect the reactions of elves.A utensil made by connecting obsidian with [pyroxene], which can sense strong spiritual reactions.It is used to sense and point out the direction of the gods and their dependents. There are a large number of elves in their bodies. In the eyes of humans, they are no different from monsters. They help humans avoid danger.It is also a prop made by Crone and Rick.

Looking back, Rick behind him has fallen into a deep sleep, he is indeed too tired.

The supply of water sources is also limited, even if they drink very sparingly, the water bottles brought by the two will soon run out.

Except for the process, he does not need to take extra water, and every time he takes a break, he will evenly pour a little water from his kettle into Rick's kettle.

This is the backbone of the [-] humans in the settlement. If he falls, I can't take care of so many people instead of him.

What's more, Kelong would also be worried.

Before leaving, he also promised Ke Long that he would help her take good care of this younger brother.

"Rick, this guy will always try to be strong on his own, and take the pressure on himself silently..." Such words.

"give it to me."

The sound of the slight water hitting the bottom of the bottle woke up the vigilant Rick. Rick narrowed his eyes and quietly turned his head to stare at Cheng Rang's movement not far away.

The guy who kept talking along the way must definitely need more water than himself, and this guy really needs to steal some water from me.

But I don’t have much water here. From the sound, he must have finished the water long ago...

No wonder this guy hugs his kettle tightly in his arms every time he takes a break, for fear that I will find out about this kind of thing.

Thinking like this, Rick didn't intend to expose him, but just watched all this silently.

But only in the end, to Rick's surprise, Cheng Rang finally put the pot of water next to his luggage.

Two identical kettles, under the shaking, the side with the louder sound was actually here.

And the one that was less was carefully put into his arms by Cheng Rang again.

What the hell is this guy thinking?

Rick wouldn't blame humans for trying to survive under difficult circumstances, but such situations are very rare.

No, in Rick's memory, basically nothing happened.

Acting?

But this is too much, he obviously has more opportunities to do these things in front of himself.

Curious, Rick couldn't help but continue to pay attention.

After putting the kettle away, Cheng Rang continued to sit cross-legged at the entrance of the cave, staring at the sky in a daze, then pulled out the long knife that he had been carrying around his waist, and wiped it back and forth with a cloth.

Rick was startled by the cold glint of the smooth blade.

This kind of complete weapon can be said to be very precious and rare in this world, no wonder he cherishes it like a treasure.

"Ah...my wife is so beautiful..."

“…”

After hearing such a speech, Rick turned his head silently, recalling what Cheng Rang said before, combined with his behavior of facing his weapon just now, he sighed softly in his heart.

Now... it seems like the thing about him making fun of himself as a virgin is suddenly less uncomfortable.

At least to be honest with myself, I will not regard fetishism as the criterion for getting rid of a virgin, every family has a hard-to-read scripture...

In this way, Rick, who misunderstood Cheng perfectly, fell asleep with sympathy for him and a deeper level of trust.

Chapter 11 Ex-Machina Girl

After 15 minutes, Rick woke up precisely without calling at all.

"It's time to rest, let's continue on our way."

Cheng Rang, who wanted to let him sleep a little longer, felt helpless about this, and at the same time lamented his mechanically precise and strict concept of self-discipline.

But Rick said that this kind of almost coercive behavior is necessary. This is the outside world, not as safe as the settlement, and any accident may happen at any time.

If you slack off, you will die, so you can only try your best to think about how to live.

After packing his bags, Rick deliberately confirmed his water bottle before leaving.

Indeed a little more.

"This." Rick shook the kettle in his hand.

"Ok?"

Although Cheng Rang pretended to be innocent, Rick took his water bottle over without saying a word, and poured the extra part back.

"I appreciate your kindness, but in this situation, both of us need to conserve our strength. We haven't finished drinking the water yet, and there will be places to replenish it."

"Did you find out..."

Rick didn't answer, just got on the horse first.

"I will give orders when needed, whether it is to let you die, or to give me all resources."

Rick knows he can't die, but he won't die either
