Chapter 794

In the forest, the burnt leaves made a crisp "crunching" sound underfoot, as if playing a funeral melody for the sea of ​​fire behind.

Everyone fled with all their might, their swords cutting through the thorns that blocked their way, and they turned back from time to time to aim in the direction of the Red Flame Dragon.

With their abilities, it would be easy to overturn the dragon.

Dan Heng's cloud cavalry fighting skills are enough to cut off the dragon's scales, San Yueqi's bow and arrow can hit the target accurately, and Ti Bao can even temporarily suppress the dragon's rage.

Each of them has the ability to slay a dragon alone.

But at this moment, no one looked back.

No one took action.

They didn't even bother to collect the bodies.

Lin Yu was like a puppet, carried on Saifei'er's shoulders. He could see Aglaya's back during the bumpy ride. Her golden threads were sweeping wildly in the woods, but always heading away from the town.

The scorched wind rushed into his throat, carrying a bloody smell, choking him so that he couldn't make a sound.

"Why... I can obviously treat her directly... why..." Lin Yu's voice broke in the wind. His shoulder was hurt by Sai Fei'er's arm, but the pain was not even one ten-thousandth of the pain in his heart.

The rich green light still remained on his fingertips, which was proof of his hesitation.

The moment his sister grabbed his wrist, he could clearly forcefully activate his ability, but that momentary pause became a permanent thorn.

"Why did I hesitate..." He asked again and again, as if asking Saifeier, or as if asking himself.

Was he overwhelmed by the despair in her eyes? Or was he scalded by the scorching heat of her hand? He couldn't even remember what he was thinking at the time. He only knew that by the time he realized what was happening, those eyes had lost their light.

"Why.."

Saifeier suddenly stopped, put him to the ground, and turned around to punch him with a sound of wind.

But it stopped just inches away from his face.

"You think you're the only one who wants to save them? I watched those people being burned to ashes by the dragon's breath. Don't I want to blow that beast's head off?"

"Do you think you're the only one who can do this?" She pointed behind her, the roar of the Red Flame Dragon faintly audible. "I can go back and tear that beast into pieces right now, but what then?"

She pointed at Lin Yu's chest. "You healed her, and then what? Tell her 'Don't be afraid, we killed a dragon'?"

"You think you're the only one who wants to ask why?"

"Just now in the square, I was closest to the dragon. If I had just moved forward..." She paused, her Adam's apple rolling, "But I saw it."

"What did you see?" Lin Yu looked up.

"I saw the dragon's eyes." Saifeier's gaze drifted to the firelight behind him. "There was no ferocity in them, only a muddy red, as if someone had forced a rage that didn't belong there."

"And those trainers, they hold up their controllers and yell 'Fire'"

Lin Yu was stunned.

He suddenly remembered the look in his sister's eyes when she finally grabbed his wrist. Besides eagerness, there was also a hint of...fear.

It's not the fear of dragons, but the fear of the act of "slaying a dragon" itself.

"Their energy fields are strange, as if they're forcibly bound together by some signal. If you kill one, the energy of the others will instantly surge, and they might even... self-destruct."

Dan Heng put his hand on the handle of the gun, "I know."

"Just now, at the edge of town, I tried to test the dragon's scales. If I kill it, it will trigger an alarm."

Cerydela scoffed, but there was no real smile. "To put it bluntly, I just don't dare to gamble."

"I'm betting that there's nothing more troublesome behind that dragon, that the trainers in Tianxing City won't go all out, and that our small number of people can withstand the chain reaction that follows."

She bit the last three words particularly hard, as if she was tearing at something invisible, "Very cowardly."

But no one objected.

Lin Yu looked at the complicated expressions on everyone's faces, and suddenly understood where the momentary stagnation came from.

It’s not that I can’t, it’s that I don’t dare.

It’s not that we don’t have the ability to slay the dragon, but we don’t know what more terrifying existence will be awakened after slaying the dragon.

I am not sure whether the "running" that my sister paid for with her life is more important than a momentary passion.

It is the vigilance that has been engraved into our bones through countless adventures.

The easier it is to defeat an enemy, the deeper the trap hidden behind it may be.

It's like holding a sharp knife in your hand, but suddenly you hesitate whether you should chop it down, because you don't know if there is a more deadly poison hidden in the shadow under the knife.

But..

Because of the fear of possible danger..

Because I'm afraid of unknown traps..

Could they just watch helplessly as the sister who gave him Starberry Pie and taught him that "Pokémon are friends" was crushed under the rubble, and even the last hope of recovery was snuffed out by their own hands?

Is this what an unknown person should do?

They travel between different planets, under the banner of "development" and "protection", fighting against the star core and preventing disasters.

But when real life passed by before their eyes, they chose to turn around because they "did not dare to gamble".

What is the difference between so-called "vigilance" and cowardice?

"You go first." Lin Yu suddenly spoke, his voice unusually calm.

Everyone looked up at him.

"I'll go back." His eyes swept across everyone's face, and finally fell in the direction of the town. The firelight danced in his pupils, like two flames that refused to go out.

"Revenge must be taken, but at least...she must be pulled out of the rubble."

He is an unknown person, a person who is willing to take another step forward for a lost life even though he knows there is an abyss ahead.

Before anyone could react, Lin Yu shot into the air like an arrow.

A rich green light first lit up around him, and then, the lights of destruction, wisdom, hunting... fourteen kinds of destinies were like blooming star rings, interweaving into a dazzling light band behind him.

"Lin Yu!"

At this moment, everyone stood at the edge of the forest, watching Lin Yu hovering over the town and confronting a dozen dragons circling in the air.

Those dragons had different shapes. The red flame dragon breathed sparks, the ice dragon was covered with frost, and the most terrifying one was a shadow dragon with black scales, which brought up a biting wind when its wings flapped.

On the back of each dragon sat a trainer holding a silver controller. They wore the same black uniform and had indifferent smiles on their faces, as if they were enjoying a game of cat and mouse.

"Who is this idiot who dares to trespass into Tianxing City?" The leading trainer sneered and pressed the button on the controller. The Red Flame Dragon immediately swooped down with a roar, and its dragon breath splashed towards Lin Yu like magma.

Lin Yu's eyes flashed, and the light of destiny suddenly shrank, and then suddenly exploded.

Lush vines rose from the ground and formed an impenetrable wall in front of him. The moment the dragon's breath was blocked, the destructive black flames spread along the vines and rolled back towards the wings of the red flame dragon.

"Ow!"

The Scarlet Flame Dragon fell with a scream. Before the trainer on its back could jump, the patrol light pierced his chest and smashed him and his controller into a pile of charcoal.
