A Child’s Memory

He looked around but couldn't find Alex.

"Where is he?" the young man muttered to himself, frowning.

As soon as he spoke, he saw Alex lying on the ground, also panting heavily.

Alex glanced at the young man and weakly said, "I took care of that beast for you!"

The young man was momentarily stunned before he let out a bitter laugh and said, "Thank you, brother Alex. You saved my life twice now. If I get the chance, I will definitely repay you!"

Alex waved his hand and said calmly, "No need."

With that, Alex stood up, covered in blood, looking like a demon returning from hell.

"You should heal first. I'll go finish off that beast," the young man said, looking at the already dead creature.

"Okay," Alex nodded and sat down cross-legged.

The young man walked over to the beast's corpse, pulling out a dagger to extract the crystal core and gather materials.
