The character "Xu" appeared on the stone tablet, and all the characters that had appeared just now disappeared completely.
The bright, gold capital letters seemed to dance on the stone tablet as if they had a spirit.
Half Xia's eyes were fixed on that character, but she didn't find anything unusual. However, Chen Mo beside her was staring at that character and blanking out.
Half Xia turned to look at Chen Mo for a moment, seeing his entranced expression, she couldn't help but feel worried that he was about to go into trance like before. Suddenly, she felt nervous and panic-stricken.
Half Xia picked up the giant sword on the ground and wanted to hand it to Chen Mo before he fell into a trance, ensuring he had it in his possession.
However, just as she took a step forward and was about to act, she saw that Chen Mo, who had been staring blankly, suddenly had tears twinkling in his eyes.
Tears flowed down his eye corners, and Half Xia felt a strong sense of sorrow from his face.
This was an expression Half Xia had never seen on Chen Mo's face before.
In Half Xia's memory, Chen Mo had always been a very confident person. Apart from the time when Liu Wu was poisoned, where he showed signs of panic, it seemed he had never been as out of sorts as he was today.
And never before had he shown such a sad and helpless expression, as if he had lost something important.
The golden, shimmering characters flickered, and the next moment, they transformed into a strand of golden breeze, drifting into Chen Mo's eyes.
"Chen Mo"
Half Xia was startled at once. Without thinking much, she quickly slapped Chen Mo's shoulder and a urgent call brought him back to his senses.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Mo turned his head and stared at Half Xia with a confused expression.
Half Xia looked at the tear marks on Chen Mo's cheeks and the teardrops that were dripping onto the ground, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Why are you crying?"
Chen Mo realized what had happened and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Yeah, why did I cry?"
As Chen Mo spoke, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if his heart was aching.
He only felt an empty feeling inside, as if something important was lost…
Half Xia continued to ask, "What did you see from that character just now?"
"I…"
Chen Mo opened his mouth, "I saw…Right, what did I see? It seems like I can't remember it."
Chen Mo's head was starting to ache. He had clearly seen many things, many things, when he was fixated on that character, but as soon as he tried to recall them, he couldn't remember anything at all.
It felt like someone was controlling his memories.
Bang
With those words, the stone tablet that had burst out erupted with a thunderous noise, turning into dust and dissipating in the space, leaving no trace.
And the person who had been lying on the stone tablet, Qiu Guang, was also awakened by this sudden burst of noise.
He opened his eyes, with a look of terror on his face, and looked around, searching for the figure he remembered.
Suddenly, he saw Half Xia, holding the giant sword.
Familiar sword, familiar armor.
In the next moment, his eyes rolled up, and he passed out again.
......
"Ha ha, Chen Mo, niece, you two really gave me a big surprise."
Chen Mo and Half Xia dragged the unconscious Qiu Guang back to the capital of Ding'an Country, where they just saw Chu Shi who hurried over.
When Chu Shi saw Qiu Guang lying on the ground, his face was filled with joy beyond words.
He laughed so hard that his mouth couldn't close. Meanwhile, the three people from Chu Tian who came late also excitedly watched Qiu Guang.
It was as if they had found a treasure.
"This guy is really timid. As soon as I touch him, he gets scared and passes out. When he woke up again, he saw me and got scared again."
Half Xia lightly shook her head.
Chu Shi was taken aback, staring at Half Xia who held the giant sword, stepped back a step, and then chuckled: "He looks so much like him, no wonder he fainted when he saw me."
"What kind of similarity?"
Half Xia asked in confusion.
"It's like your father. You don't know, your father is a renowned genius in my Ten Cross Blood Demon tribe. On the land of all tribes, he killed so that other races trembled at the mere mention of his name."
"Unfortunately, after your father left, many things happened within our tribe. The race declined, fewer and fewer experts were left, and eventually fell into a state of being hunted."
"Now, our Ten Cross Blood Demon tribe is weak and can only hide and bide our time, but it's a good thing he discovered our tribe's territory. He wants to go back and tell his people about this, so they can wipe us out."
"If this succeeds, our Ten Cross Blood Demon tribe will surely face a calamity."
Half Xia suddenly understood, "So you're so eager to kill him. Why not just kill him now?"
If it weren't for the fear that Qiu Guang might still be useful, Half Xia would have acted immediately, saving herself the trouble of having to catch him again after he wakes up.
"Not in a hurry."
Chu Shi gently shook his head, "This person knows about the suspicious thing in our tribe's habitat. I want to take him back and let the elders handle it. Maybe, we can catch some people involved."
Since Chu Shi had said that, Half Xia also had no reason to act and let go of Qiu Guang in her hands.
Chu Shi called out, and Chu Tian immediately stepped forward to subdue this person.
Chu Shi hesitated for a moment, stared at Half Xia, looked her over carefully, and then seriously said: "You are the blood of my eldest brother. Although I want to take you back and show our people so that we can strengthen the Ten Cross Blood Demon tribe, our current situation may bring trouble to you…"
"So, whether to go back or not, I've thought about it for a long time. I think we should respect your decision, after all, a forced melon is not sweet."
Chu Shi spoke the truth.
If Half Xia's father were someone else, Chu Shi might have taken her away directly. But since he had a good relationship with Half Xia's father, if he forced her like this, it would be somewhat unfair to her father.
After much thought, Chu Shi finally decided to respect Half Xia's opinion.
Half Xia turned to look at Chen Mo, seeing that he nodded slightly, she then said with a serious expression: "I am willing to go back with you."
"Good, that's great."
Hearing this, Chu Shi laughed happily, "I'm very glad you're willing to go back with me, niece. You can rest assured that no matter what troubles you encounter, as your uncle, I will definitely protect you and never break my word."
"If you can return, I think there will be many people in the tribe who will be happy. It's just unfortunate that my eldest brother can't find anyone…"
Speaking of this, Chu Shi helplessly shook his head and then looked at Chen Mo again, "Chen Mo brother, you are from the Nine Zhou continent. If you ever see my eldest brother in the future, please tell him that I, Chu Shi, miss him. Every member of our Ten Cross Blood Demon tribe misses him."
"I will definitely pass it on if I have the opportunity."
Chen Mo nodded slightly, indicating that he had agreed.
Half Xia looked at Chen Mo, a little reluctant, and approached. Before he could react, she gave him a tight hug that almost left Chen Mo breathless.
"Chen Mo, don't worry, I will definitely come back. Wait for me."
