Chapter 745 Tracking and Meeting

Zhao Yingkong, walking in the wilderness.

She didn't need to go to the Yan Emperor Shennong Cave like the rest of the Zhongzhou team and step into the battlefield that was destined to be a mess. Because just like Zheng Zha who strongly demanded that he face the two main forces of the Tianshen team alone, she had her own mission, a path she had to walk alone.

Long before entering this world, Zhao Yingkong had obtained special permission from Yang Yun to make a break with Zhao Zhuikong in this world... a complete break.

For this reason, the assassin girl of the Zhongzhou team has been chasing her brother in the wilderness for more than 20 days, and stepped unswervingly towards the second final battlefield that did not belong to the Yan Emperor Shennong Cave.

Another, a battlefield for two people that belonged exclusively to assassins.

The teachings of the assassin family not only include assassination skills and the art of disguise, but also how to accurately track the target. In the underground world, the target is often as cunning as a fox, and there are endless ways to escape. Therefore, mastering tracking skills is crucial for assassins. It is another way of survival hidden behind assassination.

However, the target to be tracked this time is a beast that has lost its mind and has been transformed from a human being.

In the world of assassins, patience is a vital virtue.

A good assassin can always endure loneliness, be as calm as still water, and not be shaken by the passage of time. Successful assassination is often not something that can be achieved overnight, and requires long-term tracking and observation, careful planning and layout.

Whether it is ten days, twenty days, or even half a year of preparation, for them, it is just a necessary process to complete the task.

As for those beasts, although they may lack human wisdom, millions of years of evolution have given them extremely powerful survival instincts. These instincts give them terrifying anti-detection capabilities, allowing them to hide themselves in the vast nature and avoid being tracked by hunters.

In particular, the target that Zhao Yingkong is tracking has both the danger sense and keen perception of the beast, as well as the anti-tracking ability and the skills of being an assassin.

Even when he lost his mind and fell into the abyss of madness, Zhao Zhuikong still retained the instinct and intuition of a genius assassin. He can cleverly erase the traces he left behind, carefully disguise his breath, and even lay various baits and traps to mislead the tracker. Although these behaviors are instinctive, they are still quite confusing.

This is a contest between assassins, and it is also a silent but tense prelude.

However, Zhao Yingkong, who also comes from an assassin family, is also well aware of these tricks and means. Therefore, although it is a little difficult, she can still catch Zhao Zhuikong's tail all the way, without letting the trace of the prey disappear in this vast wilderness.

When you are tired, find a safe place to rest. When you are hungry, catch fish or find wild fruits to fill your stomach... There is no tension and pressure during team operations, and there are no restrictions on the main god space tasks. In this tracking rhythm, Zhao Yingkong's mind seems to have traveled through time, and she saw her former appearance again, and returned to the years before she entered the main god space.

At that time, she was also on that resource-rich island, playing the assassin game of "hide and seek" with her brothers and sisters.

——This is not a bad thing.

Zhao Yingkong thought so, her thoughts flowed like water, calm and clear.

Those days in childhood seemed like a dusty scroll, slowly unfolding in her heart. When recalling those past years, Zhao Yingkong's heart was not painful, but felt an unprecedented relief.

This feeling was like putting down a heavy burden, reconciling with past experiences, and no longer letting herself be bound by those painful memories and the shadows of the past.

——But this is not a good thing.

Because Zhao Yingkong today is completely different from the "Zhao Yingkong" on the island.

That Zhao Yingkong, her inner world was so simple and narrow, it seemed like a tiny space that could only accommodate her closest brother Zhuikong and her sister Ruikong.

Her dream was not grand, nor did she have lofty ambitions. What she longed for was just that kind of simple daily life - sharing laughter and busyness with her brother and sister in ordinary days, and traveling together in this vast world.

At that time, she just wanted to be an ordinary person and live an ordinary life. In the heart of that innocent little girl, there is no complexity of the internal power struggles of the assassin family, no burden of blood on her hands, only pure emotions and simple happiness between family members.

But now Zhao Yingkong's heart has grown, expanded, and become extremely spacious. Not only can she accommodate her brother and sister, but she can also embrace the shadows of her brothers and sisters in her childhood memories, those relatives who grew up with her.

After entering the main god space, she has many more ties in her heart-the comrades of the Zhongzhou team, those partners who fought side by side with her on the brink of life and death. She has experienced countless challenges with them and faced countless crises together. These experiences have made her heart more resilient and more tolerant.

There is even a place in her heart, dedicated to Sister Shan Na-the woman who has a cold face most of the time, but always treats her gently in front of her. The existence of Shan Na has added a special color to Zhao Yingkong's life.

Zhao Yingkong is no longer a little girl who only wants to be with her family. What she pursues is far more than the simple wish of the little girl in the past.

She has more love, more responsibility, and a broader sky in her heart.

The wider the heart, the wider the dream, and the stronger the strength, the more things you want.

Looking at the red blood dripping on the ground in front of her, Zhao Yingkong stood up. She could see that this drop of blood was left by Zhao Zhuikong deliberately, and she knew that her goal was not far away.

The process of tracking Zhao Zhuikong is essentially Zhao Yingkong's self-examination. Every step is a process of tempering her will, spirit and strength, and every decision is a practice of deepening her instincts and skills as an assassin.

——Now, this road has come to an end.

"Long time no see..."

The voice floated softly, and Zhao Yingkong climbed up the not-so-steep hillside step by step. When her footsteps finally stopped, a flat land softly decorated with white reeds unfolded in front of her. The rising sun showed its shy face from the east, and the golden light penetrated the morning mist and sprinkled on the man in front of him, making his figure surrounded by blood mist appear particularly vivid.

"Zhao Zhuikong."
