Chapter 623: Time

"I don't allow you to do this!" Lucy took a step forward and said, "If you want to attack Allen, you have to kill me. But as long as you touch my finger, your Federation will definitely pursue it to the end."

As the princess of Star Idahua, Lucy still has a little weight. If it were someone else, I'm afraid they would have to back down. Even if he wanted to kill Allen, he could only change the time and place. But Catherine stood up, opened her hand, and the Scorpion Spear and Snake Sickle jumped into her hand. The major general's two strange hair-colored ponytails fluttered without wind, and if there was any real murderous intent to rush towards Lucy, the bonfire in front of him was immediately dimmed by her breath.

"I don't care..." Catherine said softly.

She didn't even care about Lucy's identity, and everyone immediately knew that there was no other way to dispel her thoughts. Belmode's night hunter pattern lit up, and two cape-like red bands of light erupted from behind his shoulders. Regis provoked Zhan Tie Zhu Jue, slightly lowered his center of gravity, as if he was going all out to attack.

The atmosphere in the mine was suffocating, and even the headhunters who were locked in the mine no longer rushed to the gate like before. At the moment when the battle was about to start, Allen gently pushed Lucy away and stepped forward, appearing in the dim light of the fire. Allen smiled wryly at Catherine and said: "It seems that the general is determined to win me. Let's do this. The natives inside are still waiting for the Kaiyan base to send people to receive them. Lucy and the others can't leave the mine for half a step, so I told them you go."

"≧As you like." Catherine also simply put away her murderous aura, turned around and left with her gun sickle: "If you plan to escape, you should know what the result will be."

"I know."

Allen turned his head and said: "As I said just now, you stay and wait for the people from the base to come and receive it, and I will go with her."

"No, you alone are not her opponent!" Lucy insisted.

"It's the same with four people, against a master like Catherine. Unless she is willing to stay to fight to the death, the number is meaningless. Even if she can't fight, she can leave the battlefield and find a chance to kill us one by one afterwards." Allen shook his head and said: "It's better to let me deal with her myself. You have to trust me, I won't be killed by her so easily."

"But why did she insist on killing you?" Lucy asked, and this was probably the biggest question in the hearts of the three of them.

"It's a long story, I'll tell you when I get back." Allen picked up his backpack and said, "Give me all your first aid kits, I probably need them. After you go back, you can exchange them with military merits. Don't wait for me at the base, remember to take more of this kind of designated tasks, and get some military merits from them first."

Lucy said angrily: "Now you still remember these."

Alan pulled her suddenly,

Kissed her on the forehead: "Don't worry, I will be back. Don't tell others about Catherine, I have a hunch that things will turn around."

After finishing speaking, he put his bags on his back, raised Xue Yin, and walked towards Catherine. Catherine stood quietly at the gate of the mine, if it wasn't for the military uniform on her body, if it wasn't for the general on her shoulders. Now she is like a confused girl, but if anyone really thinks so, it will be bad luck. Allen wouldn't think so, Catherine had a similar experience to him. She also lived with the dangerous species for a period of time, so she can be regarded as Ellen's kind.

"Very well, you have no intention of running away." Catherine said lightly.

Allen spread his hands and said, "I'm not that stupid, so Lady Catherine, how do you want to settle the matter between us?"

"From now on, you can call me by my name without adding any honorific title or military rank." Catherine said suddenly, "You deserve it."

"Should I be flattered?"

"Whatever you want." Obviously Catherine has no sense of humor: "Leave this first, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it."

She didn't say that she couldn't help it, but Allen knew that Catherine was referring to Lucy and the others. If they fought near the mine, Lucy and the others might rashly intervene regardless of Allen's decision, and then Catherine might attack them.

The fragrant wind suddenly picked up, and Catherine had already flown into the forest. She touched the ground with her toes, and she slid ten meters, but she didn't even pick up the snow. Allen glanced in the direction of the mine, gritted his teeth and followed Catherine. The two of them went deep to the west of the Holly Forest, advancing at a constant speed of 60 kilometers per hour. After more than an hour, Catherine gradually slowed down, and finally changed to walking slowly on the snow.

"It's far enough from here," she said.

Allen stopped beside her, looked at her expressionless side face, and couldn't help saying: "I don't understand why you must kill me. Even if you kill me and drink my blood, you may not necessarily get much money." benefit?"

"Before I was ten years old, I thought I was a king snake, but the appearance was a little different." Catherine replied irrelevantly: "I didn't know that I was a human being until Lu Sen took me out of the snake's nest. Human beings are different from many dangers." In terms of species, they are all food. Although in some books I have read, it is said that human beings stood at the top of the biological chain in old times."

"It's a pity that this is a brand new era. People without power are destined to be eaten, but the way of eating is different." Catherine raised her small face and looked at the hazy night sky above her head: "Human beings in this era, We are no longer bound by planets. We can go to any corner of the universe to explore freely, new things are discovered every day, and countless things are dying every day. If the old era is an era of information explosion, then this era, It is the era of information blowout. You will find that there are so many things, knowledge, and experience in the universe that it is difficult to grasp in a lifetime."

"In my opinion, resources, power, and wealth are not worth pursuing. There is only one thing worth fighting for, and it is worth sacrificing your life for it..." Catherine looked at Allen: "Do you know what that is?"

Allen sighed: "It's time."

He had already somewhat grasped the main points of Catherine's words, and this young major general rarely showed his wise side. Even though she was dubbed the god of death, what Catherine thought about had already surpassed material and simple killing, and she was like a mortal.

But this makes her even more terrifying. If she is just an executioner, even if her power level is higher than Allen's. Alan may not necessarily have no chance at all, because he knows that the more extreme a person is in a certain aspect, there must be huge flaws. Like irritable people, they are easily affected by excessive emotional fluctuations. But if Catherine's killing is no longer based on hobbies or interests, then she is more terrifying than any killing madman. She will not be confused, angry, or flawed, and will only kill what she thinks is necessary with the precision and coldness of a machine.

Allen has seen many terrible people, and Lu Sen is one of the best. This federal general is domineering, domineering, but possesses the power of arrogance. The darkness in his eyes is like a black hole, which will devour people to nothing. There is no doubt that he is terrifying. But even with such a terrifying man, compared with Catherine who showed her true self, Allen immediately felt that he was much cuter.

After all, no matter how scary Lu Sen was, his behavior was still full of humanity. But Catherine, Allen saw that it was a machine, or a humanoid king snake.

"That's right, it's time." Catherine shook her head and said, "Human life is too short, as short as a summer cicada. I spent my whole life singing and thought I had lived a splendid life. But when I look back, it's just a It’s just a short midsummer. For the universe, this time is not even a drop in the ocean. Sometimes thinking about it makes people feel fear from the heart.”

"Even if those strong people who have crossed the level of the ruler, they usher in the most important secret love in their lives. The time line is stretched invisibly, but how much can it grow? Just like your teacher, she is indeed a genius. Not yet twenty years old, she has already squeezed into the forest of top combat forces, and is known as the youngest female marshal in the history of the Federation. For her, life has just begun, and she still has a lot of time to squander."

"But even if her time is three times or four times longer than ordinary people, so what? The lifespan of hundreds of years, in the universe, is a short moment before even matter can be formed. Not enough... For me, It's not enough."

Catherine looked at Allen and said: "Time is the essence of the universe. When I realized this, I began to pursue this greatest wealth. However, in terms of life forms like human beings, even if they are geniuses, they are nothing It’s only a few hundred years. Obviously, the pursuit of source power is necessary, but it’s not the most important thing. If the human life form can’t prolong life, then I can only find another way.”

Allen said as if sighing: "Dark Twilight King Snake."

This is the beginning of everything and the end of everything.

Catherine nodded and said: "Yes, that's it. King snake, maybe no one knows how the ultimate life form of the dark twilight king snake appeared on a planet with a low-level civilization like the earth. Even, no one has paid too much attention to it. Understand this kind of life. They only get a theoretical infinite evolution and laugh it off. Humans are like this, refusing to admit that they are not as advanced as a snake life form. But the fact is that the cells of the king snake can target the environment And evolution. If death is also an 'environment,' can they also transcend death?"

"It's a pity that when I was about to study them, the last king snake on earth died in your hands. What's more dramatic is that you also drank the blood of the king snake. I believe that this is what put you The thread that binds fate together." Catherine's eyes were blurred, as if she was looking at a girl with gorgeous jewels: "I used to regret that because of Lu Sen's relationship, I missed the blood of the king snake. When fate pushed you in front of me At that time, I found that there was still hope.”

"And now, seeing that you have grown to this level in such a short period of time, you know that King Snake Blood does have incredible magic power. I can't wait to drink it!"
