Su Ming closed his eyes. He felt that everything he saw that night had turned into a heavy feeling in his heart. That feeling was filled with desolation and sorrow.
'Just who was that skeleton in the Fire Berserker Tribe..? Why was he the only one who could end his life when he turned into a Wings of the Moon …
'Perhaps he's … a powerful Berserker from the Fire Berserker Tribe …' The strange skeleton appeared before Su Ming's eyes and he sighed softly. In his mind, there was also a paragraph of complicated words that he could not forget.
"My Dao of Berserker Lust stretches to all corners of the world. My fire fuses with my blood. My thoughts burn the heavens, and my thoughts burn the heavens … If the moon of fire rises from the clouds, it will shine between the heavens and the earth … When I think about it, my blood will burn. Nine is the limit, one is the law. Light the Berserker Fire and worship the nine times.
Only then will you be able to worship fire! "Su Ming could not understand the meaning behind those words. He looked around and saw Bai Ling beside him. She was looking around curiously. It was clear that she did not know what this place was for.
"Let's go, Miss Bai Ling." Su Ming smiled. He leapt up and crawled out of the exit.
Bai Ling quickly followed behind him. She had wanted to leave this place since a long time ago. Every single second she spent in this place made her feel uncomfortable.
The moment they walked out of the exit, the mountain wind howled and blew against their bodies. It was as if they were about to be blown away by the wind. Bai Ling's face was pale. She grabbed onto a rock beside her.
However, she had been spoiled since she was young in the tribe. She had never climbed this kind of mountain before. Even if she gritted her teeth and persevered, her increasingly pale face revealed her fear.
Su Ming sized up Bai Ling. The girl's beauty was something he had never seen before, especially her pale face. At that moment, there was a hint of a pitiful look on her face.
"It's fine. I'll carry you." Su Ming scratched his head, but his heart was racing against his chest.
"You …" Bai Ling hesitated for a moment. She looked at the bottom of the mountain that looked like a bottomless abyss and nodded her head.
Su Ming's spirits lifted. He went forward and squatted down. A hint of red appeared on Bai Ling's pale face. Without a word, she laid on Su Ming's back and instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck.
Su Ming blinked. He could clearly feel the softness behind him and the delicate fragrance that crawled into his nose. He took a deep breath, and an indescribable feeling rose in his heart.
"That … you have to hold on tight. Otherwise, don't blame me if you fall." Su Ming said instinctively, but he did not hear any sound coming from behind him. After a moment of hesitation, he calmed himself down and quickly climbed down the mountain.
With his nimbleness and familiarity with the mountain, even if he had to carry a person on his back, it would not affect him too much. However, for some unknown reason, Su Ming's path today was all steep. Occasionally, he would jump down, and when the people behind him let out cries of surprise, he would immediately grab onto some rocks or vines.
Su Ming's face lit up with pride as he felt the petite body hugging him tighter.
It should not have taken him too long to climb down Black Flame Mountain, but Su Ming used a whole two hours to slowly climb down. When Bai Ling came down from Su Ming's back with a red face and a terrified expression on her face, Su Ming felt a little regretful. He rolled his eyes, let out a few dry coughs, and looked at Bai Ling.
"This is a forest. The snow here is deep and there are a lot of traps. It's also quite a distance from Dark Dragon Tribe. You might be in danger if you're alone. How about this? I'll send you back to Dark Dragon Tribe first, then we'll go home." Su Ming spoke slowly as he observed Bai Ling's expression. When he saw her hesitation, he felt happy and quickly spoke again.
Su Ming frowned. Once he looked at the sky, he said, "But this road isn't easy to walk on. Why don't I force myself to continue carrying you on my back? I can save time this way, and I can also go home faster."
"Then …" Bai Ling bit her lower lip as her face turned red once again. Just now, when they were climbing down from the mountain peak, she could tell that the person in front of her was doing this on purpose. If he continued to do this … Bai Ling's eyes were filled with a trace of shame and anger.
"Huh? I'm your savior! " Su Ming glared at her. He could see the anger in Bai Ling's eyes. He felt a little guilty but when he remembered that he saved her, he became confident.
"You're not happy? Fine, you're a Berserker anyway. There may be a lot of wild beasts here, and there are also a lot of traps. There might even be Wings of the Moon. But if you're careful, it should be fine … Alright, I'm leaving. " Su Ming yawned and turned around to walk back to the tribe. But before he could even take a few steps, a frail and anxious voice came from behind him.
"Then … Then thank you … I don't know the way. Please send me back to the tribe …"
Su Ming was immediately happy but his expression remained the same. He frowned, as if he was unwilling to do so. He looked at Bai Ling, then crouched down and spoke impatiently.
"Come on. Let's see if we can make it back before dark. If we can't, then we'll have to find another place to spend the night."
Bai Ling widened her eyes and looked at Su Ming. She had some understanding of the person before her. When she remembered what happened at the square, she did not know what to say.
More importantly, the person before her had walked out when she was at her most desperate. His expression and decisiveness in the cave was something she could not forget.
Bai Ling walked to Su Ming's side with a blush on her face. She lowered her head and lay on his frail back once again. She could hear her heart pounding against her chest but she could not tell what kind of emotion it was.
Su Ming carried Bai Ling on his back and ran like a monkey through the forest. He liked the fragrance that came from behind him. As he ran, he changed his direction and started walking in circles.
After a long while, Bai Ling, who had been silent all this while, had a strange look in her eyes. She tightened her grip on Su Ming's neck.
"We've walked through this place three times …" She spoke softly as she looked at a withered tree not far away.
"Huh? Is that so? Am I lost? Let me take a good look. " Su Ming stopped in his tracks and looked surprised. He looked at his surroundings carefully and nodded his head solemnly.
"That's right. Ah, I've never walked this path before." He did not show any signs of awkwardness. He changed his direction and continued running.
Time trickled by. Su Ming was only halfway to Dark Dragon Tribe when dusk arrived. However, he brought Bai Ling along the way to Dark Mountain Tribe. He cast a glance at the tribe from afar. When he saw that there was nothing out of the ordinary in the tribe, he felt relieved and left the tribe.
Bai Ling's expression became even weirder as she watched the sky gradually darken.
When the sky turned completely dark, Su Ming came to a halt in a forest and looked at Bai Ling helplessly.
"Looks like we'll have to spend the night here … The forest is not safe at night. Let's leave tomorrow morning."
The cunning look that Su Ming had when he first saw her appeared in Bai Ling's eyes. She looked at Su Ming quietly without a word. Under her gaze, Su Ming felt even more guilty.
"Alright, then we'll spend the night here." After a while, Bai Ling suddenly smiled. Her smile was beautiful and there was even a hint of wildness that was slowly returning to her.
Su Ming touched his nose and smiled as well. He stood up and piled up dried branches on a big tree beside him to make a resting spot. He sat down with Bai Ling.
At that moment, the two of them fell silent as if they did not know what to say.
"I still don't know your name." After a long while, Bai Ling looked at Su Ming. Her eyes were bright under the moonlight.
"My name is Su Ming. I know your name is Bai Ling." Su Ming looked at Bai Ling and smiled.
"You lied to me at the square, didn't you? Hmph, the more I thought about it when I went back to the tribe, the more I thought about it." Bai Ling blinked and wrinkled her nose. Her expression was very cute.
"About that …"
"You're not the Young Master of Dark Mountain Tribe either, are you?" Bai Ling's eyes sparkled as she smiled.
Su Ming scratched his head. He did not know what to say. At that moment, snowflakes fell from the sky. The entire world was covered in fluffy white snow.
"Ah, it's snowing." Su Ming immediately lifted his head and looked at the snow falling from the sky. He quickly changed the topic.
There was a hint of a smile in Bai Ling's eyes. She did not pursue the matter. Instead, she also lifted her head and looked at the snow. Some of it fell on her face. It was cold and comfortable.
The snow became heavier. As it fell, the two people in the forest seemed to be immersed in the beauty of the snow. They fell silent again.
"Su Ming, thank you …" The sky was already dark, but the moonlight cast a silver glow on the area under the cover of the snow, causing the forest to look less dark.
"Thank you for saving me … Can you tell me about yourself? How did you end up there?" Bai Ling looked at Su Ming and asked softly.
"I often go into the mountains to gather herbs. I accidentally found that place to avoid the cold. I didn't expect that the blood red moon would appear yesterday …" Su Ming did not talk about how he quenched the herbs, but instead told her about some other things.
Time passed by slowly. Su Ming and Bai Ling slowly conversed in the snowy night. Gradually, they got to know each other better … Their voices spread out in the wind and snow.
"The elder of Dark Dragon Tribe is my grandmother … My father and mother left Dark Dragon Tribe a long time ago. I heard from my grandmother that they went to a tribe that's even bigger than Wind Stream. They haven't been back for a long time …" Bai Ling hugged her body and started talking about the past in a low voice in the snow.
"I don't know who my father and mother are … I was adopted by the elder …" Su Ming mumbled.
"Ah, so that's how it is. I was wondering why you're so much thinner than the others. You're not even as tall as me. Your elder must not have treated you well." Bai Ling widened her eyes.
"No, the elder is very good to me. Besides, you may be tall, but I heard from the elder that I'll be able to do the same in a few years. Besides, you're not as strong as the girls in the tribe. "Su Ming smiled.
"That's because my elder taught me a Berserker Art. I heard that before my mother passed away, she asked my grandmother to teach it to me when I grew up." Bai Ling looked at Su Ming's hair, which had been dyed white by the snow, and said with a smile.
