"And... most importantly, you have the quality of kindness!"
Kind?
Li Xiubai raised his head in shock. He never thought that he was a kind person.
"Many people are extremely paranoid about the definition of kindness! It is not just being kind to others, but something warm and tough!"
Captain Liebert smiled slightly, stared into Li Xiubai's eyes and said.
"I found that when you show closeness to Fat Scorpion, Karl, Barton, Vakorn, and other people on the ship, you will always deliberately show a layer of indifference and isolation.
But this is not the emotion you really want to express, it is just your protective color! I don’t know what you have experienced, and I will not say anything that empathizes with you.
Because if you haven’t experienced it, you will never have empathy! I just want to tell you, you might as well try, take off those protections, truly open your heart, accept and feel everything around you.
In this way, maybe you can get some spiritual salvation?"
"Spiritual salvation...."
Li Xiubai murmured, and there seemed to be some slight change in the expression in his eyes.
"Take it."
Captain Liebert stretched out his hand, and energy surged into the blue bracelet on his wrist.
Keng!
A crystal clear blue spear that seemed to contain the sea appeared in his hand.
"Captain...I..."
Li Xiubai looked at the blue spear and hesitated to speak.
"I really need a strong person on board who can continue to protect these children for me after I die! But at the same time, you are just a child in my eyes.
Giving it to you is not to make you shoulder any responsibilities, or to tie you to the ship because it makes you feel guilty.
You, Fat Scorpion, Carl and the others are friends. No matter whether you get on the ship or not, you will still be friends!
Accept it, either as a friend or as a crew member, and help them when they are in crisis."
At this moment, Captain Liebert is no longer the vicious and silent legendary pirate.
Rather, he is an old man who is getting old and wants to see the safety of his descendants.
Li Xiubai slowly stretched out his hand and grasped the blue spear, and the surging energy penetrated into his body instantly!
The inner Qi of the water element exudes a sense of real joy, and even the flow speeds up several times!
"I understand, don't worry, I will never ignore them while they are in crisis! You don't have to worry too much, I heard that Jumang is the oldest spring god and wood god in the legend.
In Jumang Temple, there may be treasures that can heal your injuries!"
Li Xiubai held the blue spear, and after surging his inner energy, he restored it to a bracelet and wore it on his right wrist.
This blue spear is an ancient relic belonging to the captain of the combat team on the Field.
I don’t know what kind of material and technology it is made of. When released, it is three meters long.
In the contracted state, it can be as small as a bracelet!
It is somewhat similar to mechanical folding technology, but there is no mechanical structure inside. It looks like an item forged using very ancient blacksmithing techniques.
"Maybe... you go to bed early and I'll keep watch."
Captain Liebert shook his head. He knew very well the extent of his injuries and had no hope of healing.
"Um."
Li Xiubai knew that Captain Lebert was tortured by his injuries and could not sleep, so he did not refuse.
Only by maintaining a good condition can you cope with the battle that may come at any time.
...
early morning.
Captain Liebert woke up Li Xiubai, then lay down in the sleeping bag next to Carl, pretending to be asleep.
Although Karl guessed the extent of his injury, he did not know that the injury was serious enough to torture him all the time.
Captain Liebert didn't want Carl to worry too much.
This was the first time since arriving at this place that Li Xiubai did not choose to practice at night, but slept comfortably.
He stood up and stretched slowly.
The early morning in the desert is not like the scorching sun at noon, and the heat is unbearable.
It's not like the night, which is extremely cold and hides murderous intent.
Looking around, the boundless yellow sand seems to be coated with a golden veil under the sunlight.
A cool breeze blows, and in the undulating sand dunes, mineral crystals flash one after another, looking like countless flying bright lines.
It's also like the long flowing hair of the desert beauty under the veil.
The wind roams freely in the desert, passing through the sand dunes, bringing with it a faint wiping sound.
Li Xiubai suddenly remembered that widely circulated saying. Perhaps this was the lost civilization sending him morning greetings...
"call...."
He exhaled slowly, looking at the beauty that was completely different from other times, and felt relaxed and happy.
Later, Li Xiubai walked to Karl and woke him up.
"Hmm...huh? Why is it morning? Didn't I ask you to call me in the middle of the night?"
Karl sat up sleepily, and then suddenly realized that it was already morning!
"I saw you were sleeping so soundly, so I didn't wake you up."
Li Xiubai's expression didn't change and he lied silently.
"Oh~ my baby, you are so touching to me! Don't do this again next time, okay? I will feel bad... Oops!!!"
Karl got out of the sleeping bag, leaned on Li Xiubai's broad chest, and said with a sultry look on his face.
But before he finished speaking, he was slapped into the sand.
"Wipe the shit out of your eyes and saliva, and then stay away from me."
Li Xiubai waved his palm and said calmly.
After getting to know this guy, he became more and more mean.
"Bah, bah, bah! Just say it, why do you do it?"
Carl got up, spit out two mouthfuls of sand, and then went to wake up Captain Liebert.
The three of them were not being hypocritical. They wasted precious water to wash themselves in the desert, rubbed their faces casually, and continued walking towards the depths of the withered desert.
Not long after they left, a mass of bloody flesh and gravel squirmed into the camp.
"Pi...I found you..."
The monster in that port actually followed across the Lost Sea!
...
At the same time, many ships arrived at the shore from several other directions in the withered desert.
Among these people, one group landed from the shore where the Field was located.
They actually came in an aircraft!
You know, under the bad weather of the Lost Sea, almost no aircraft can cross it.
Being able to do this only shows that their aircraft technology is extremely powerful!
The aircraft slowly opened, and three figures wearing mechanical armors stepped out.
Their battle armor is different from the mechanical battle armor of the law enforcement officers who originally captured Li Xiubai, and it is also different from most of the standard battle armor of the Nansha Federation.
It must be more advanced and powerful!
Just by looking at it, you can feel the dangerous aura emanating from it!
