Chapter 28 Canyon Wild Area
Between the endless pristine mountains.

Wang Yao, Erda and Shi Liang were moving forward with difficulty. Although they were covered with wounds and their strength was almost exhausted, the three of them still gritted their teeth and moved forward out of the desire to survive.

Before they knew it, they had escaped to a steep hillside. The hillside was endless and from a distance, it looked like a giant dragon crawling on the ground.

"Where is this?" Wang Yao asked Erda and Shi Liang beside him while panting.

Erda, who was supporting the exhausted Shi Liang, looked up at the surrounding environment breathlessly and said weakly: "This is Fulongpo, located on the outskirts of the upper road. See, the canyon is outside."

Wang Yao followed Erda's gaze and looked towards the basin outside the hillside. There was an endless plain and forest there. The scenery looked beautiful. He subconsciously guessed that this should be the [wild area] of the canyon, right?
But at this time, Wang Yao was no longer in the mood to appreciate the scenery of the wild area of ​​the canyon. Shi Liang's physical strength was weaker than he had imagined. It might be because of the 300 health bonus of the primary equipment "Red Agate". Wang Yao, who was supposed to be the weakest, became the person with the most physical strength in the team.

Looking at the two people supporting each other, Shi Liang who was exhausted, and Er Da who was covered in wounds, Wang Yao was reluctant to admit it, but he knew very well in his heart -

The next time they are caught up by the black soldiers, that will be their death!
"Let's go quickly. We need to go to higher places." Wang Yao said, and then he walked to the top of the slope first, leaning on the black sword.

Now they can only pin all their hopes on Maomao and his men. If the Shu Kingdom's troops can arrive in time to support them and encircle the black army's rear, then they will have hope of being rescued. Before that, they cannot stop for a moment!
Slowly, there was a commotion behind.

Wang Yao turned around and saw a horrifying scene that would be imprinted in his mind for the rest of his life.

At the foot of the hill, the black mass of enemies filled the field of vision. From afar, it looked like a black tide slowly coming towards them. The sound of swords and shields rubbing against each other made a "rustling" sound like the tide, and the momentum was overwhelming!
With a thud, Shi Liang sat down on the ground with a look of despair on his face.

"Is this the end?" 2da barely supported himself with his shield. Although his back was straight, his face was already gloomy as he looked at the black tide in the distance below the slope.

This was the first time Wang Yao saw Erda with such a dejected expression. All along, Erda had left him with the impression of being a man of determination who would not give up even in the most dangerous moments.

Wang Yao wanted to encourage Erda, but looking at the black tide slowly rushing towards Fulongpo and listening to the creepy sound of swords and shields rubbing against each other, he found that he didn't even have the courage to encourage his teammates. This was despair.

"Shit!" Wang Yao couldn't help but thrust the black sword into the dirt under his feet and cursed harshly.

He doesn't want to die yet!
He was still very young, and he didn't want to inexplicably travel to this strange world and end up dying in a daze on a hillside where no one knew about it!

Various daily scenes after the time travel kept flashing in my mind, Hua Mulan, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, who I hadn't had time to get to know in depth, the show-stealing person who I couldn't get along with, and finally, Luna's fair and pretty face and sweet smile.
"Do you have any regrets?" Wang Yao asked Erda and Shi Liang with a wry smile.

2Da was stunned for a moment, then he rarely smiled: "Although it is a pity that I cannot become a hero and have to die here, I am still very happy. Thank you, brother, thank you for staying with me at this last moment."

"I'm not used to the way you talk." Looking at Erda's enthusiastic eyes looking at him, Wang Yao wanted to scratch his head awkwardly, but his fingers touched the cold helmet. He suddenly remembered what Su An said to him, "The more senior the warrior, the less likely it is for him to trust the people around him."

Does this count as recognition of oneself?
Although he was in such a desperate situation, a sense of warmth inexplicably arose in Wang Yao's heart.

"Wang Yao you bastard!"

At this moment, Shi Liang, who had been sitting aside in deep thought, suddenly came over and grabbed Wang Yao by the collar.

Staring at Wang Yao's confused face, Shi Liang's green eyes flashed with a complex luster: "I like Maomao!"

"Ah?" Wang Yao was confused.

"What? This is what I really think!" Shi Liang grabbed Wang Yao's collar with an angry look on his face. "Let me tell you, even though you are good-looking, and you are better at making Maomao happy than us, and you are also very reliable at critical moments, I tell you, even so, I will not give Maomao to you! Do you understand?!"

Wang Yao was stunned and said, "What's wrong with you all of a sudden? I've told you so many times that it was just a misunderstanding this morning. Got it?!"

"You want to lie to me again? You must have confessed your feelings to Maomao, right?!"

"Nonsense! Who confessed to Maomao? Which eye did you see it with?!"

"Otherwise, why did Maomao hug you that night?!"

"Damn it, are you done yet? Maomao said it herself, she was the one who came up to me because she was too cold!"

"Who are you trying to fool?!"

Amidst the quarrel, Wang Yao and Shi Liang wrestled with each other. Suddenly, a burst of laughter came from the side.

Wang Yao and Shi Liang, who were twisted into a ball, stared over at Erda who suddenly burst into laughter.

"Ha, I find that you two are a perfect pair. Even though you are about to die, you still have the heart to fight for this? Awesome." As he said that, Erda laughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes. His hearty smile was infected by Wang Yao and Shi Liang who were wrestling with each other. With a chuckle, Shi Liang started laughing first, and then Wang Yao couldn't help laughing as well.

The wind was howling and black soldiers were approaching in a cloud, but on Fulong Slope, there was laughter everywhere.

The hearty laughter that came from the heart flowed into the hearts of the three people like a clear spring, washing away the fear and anxiety that had settled in their hearts.

Maybe, this is what is called brother!

After wiping away the tears that he didn't know whether they were from joy or emotion, Wang Yao felt his body and mind lighten. He pulled out the black sword stuck in the ground and said to the two with a smile, "Keep going. Before you die, why don't you go and see if Wei's defense tower is as majestic as our Shu's? How about it?"

"Okay! I bet that Wei's defense tower must be short and ugly!" 2da smiled and picked up the shield.

"This is a good idea! To sacrifice gloriously under the enemy's defense tower is the most honorable destination for us soldiers!" Shi Liang also stood up again.

The three of them all gave the middle finger to the black soldiers in the distance below Fulong Slope, then continued their trek while chatting and laughing.

"Shi Liang, seriously, if you like Maomao so much, you should pursue her boldly if you can go back alive. You really don't have to worry about me, because I may not stay in the legion for long." Wang Yao said to Shi Liang while walking with difficulty holding the black sword.

"Damn it! You make it sound like you asked me to do it. I tell you, you don't have to pretend. I will definitely catch up with Maomao before you do!" Shi Liang said with a smile, but at the end, he added sincerely: "Don't keep saying discouraging things, maybe we can both make it back alive? Then, we can compete fairly!"

Wang Yao was stunned for a moment, looking at Shi Liang's sincere expression, knowing that Shi Liang seemed to have misunderstood his meaning, Wang Yao couldn't help but feel warm in his heart: "Haha, that's not what I meant."

After all, Wang Yao was not from this world at all. Maybe one day in the future he would be able to find a way to return to Earth? Yes, he might not stay in the army for long.

However, just when Wang Yao was about to explain, suddenly, a sharp sound of breaking air came from behind without any warning!
Wang Yao subconsciously looked back and saw several fireballs falling towards them!
"Danger!"

All this happened in a flash of lightning and flames. Wang Yao shouted and instinctively kicked Erda and Shi Liang out without thinking too much. Then, in the violent vibration, the fireball exploded between them with a heat wave. Wang Yao lost his balance and fell headfirst into Fulongpo, falling into the unfathomable wild area.
After an unknown amount of time, Wang Yao woke up in a daze, and saw the dim sky. - Where was this?

He subconsciously tried to sit up, but the sharp pain made him gasp.

At this time, he was covered with scars, his body was wrapped with vines, his blue armor was cracked in many places, and even his helmet had fallen off and no one knew where it had gone.

He vaguely remembered that on Fulong Slope, he, Erda and Shiliang seemed to be attacked by the magic black soldiers. He only had time to kick Erda and Shiliang away, but he was affected and fell off Fulong Slope.
So, this is the wild area of ​​the canyon?
Wang Yao was startled, and sat up without caring about his wounds. Looking at the quiet scenery around him under the afterglow of the setting sun, he was a little panicked, because as far as he knew, there should be monsters in the jungle, right? Based on his experience of repeatedly going beyond common sense, Wang Yao didn't think that the monsters in the jungle would be that cute!
After falling from Fulongpo into the wild area, he didn't know how long he had been unconscious. He subconsciously reached into his arms, but Wang Yao was stunned to find that his arms were empty.

Dropped your phone?!
Wang Yao panicked. His cell phone was his livelihood! Since he entered the Canyon battlefield, he was able to survive until now, thanks to the enhancement of the three primary equipments: "Black Sword", "Fast Boots" and "Red Agate". Otherwise, with his weak physique, how could he possibly fight against so many evil soldiers? Without the purchase interface on his cell phone, how would he survive in this cruel world in the future? !

However, this worry did not last long. After a frantic search, Wang Yao soon found a faint halo flickering in the bushes in the distance. It seemed that he had been shaken too much during the fall, causing the phone in his arms to fall out.

Grabbing the black sword beside him and using it as a crutch, Wang Yao limped over and picked up the phone while enduring the pain all over his body.

The familiar cool feeling came over him, and before Wang Yao could breathe a sigh of relief, he was stunned again.

The phone's screen was on, probably because it was rubbed against his arms. What surprised Wang Yao was that the screen showed the equipment purchase interface. Well, this could also be explained by the fact that Wang Yao did not exit the software when he turned off the screen last time.

but--

What the hell are those rows of dazzling equipment in the purchase interface? !
Looking at the number 1900 displayed behind the "S" gold coin icon in the upper right corner of the interface, Wang Yao was completely stunned.

Gold coins increased again?!

The surprise came too fast for Wang Yao to react for a while. Looking at the equipment bar that was almost half lit up in an instant, he was like a lottery player who suddenly found out that he had won 120 million yuan. He subconsciously clicked the purchase button with his trembling fingers.

——Hiss!
An intense burning pain accompanied by an unpleasant burnt smell suddenly came from his hand. Wang Yao screamed and subconsciously threw away the black sword in his hand.

With a dull thud, the black sword fell into the grass. At this moment, the originally black and cold iron sword began to emit a fiery red luster. The scorching heat rose out of nowhere and burned the grass under the sword to ashes, just like it had just been taken out of a blazing furnace. Then it began to deform, bend, and cool down.

Wang Yao's jaw almost dropped to the ground as he stared in amazement at the black sword transforming into a dazzling silver longbow like a Transformer.

"Is this a fucking armor-piercing bow?!"
