Chapter 2: Cataclysm
Xunyang City, the capital of Beilunzhou Yanguo, is the largest metropolis in the north, which is more than 1,700 miles away from the cangwu that stands on the Yuntian Monument and more than 4,500 miles away from the Kunpeng Sea.
The sky is not yet bright, and the starlight in the sky is like a soft warm quilt, guarding the sleeping Xunyang City.
Sheng Dacai in the eastern suburbs of the city is a hunter, every day is this hour to run into the mountains to beg for a living, check whether there is a harvest in the trap laid the day before, and then rush back to Xunyang City before opening the city gate, take advantage of the morning market to sell the prey, buy some food for the family to go back.
Seeing that the weather is gradually getting warmer, it is the breeding season for roe deer. He got up very early this day, thinking that he might be able to take advantage of the stupid roe deer's daze to catch a pregnant female roe deer back. If you take it to the market and sell it, you will definitely be able to sell it for a good price.
"Why did you wake up so early?" asked his wife, who was woken up by Shengdacai next to her, squinted her eyes.
"It's not the season for roe deer to conceive cubs! I thought about going into the mountains as soon as possible to catch the pregnant female roe deer and come back, and make new clothes for you and Nizi before selling them!" The sturdy hunter dressed neatly and went to the corner to pack up his hunting equipment.
"Daddy, I'm going too! I'm going to catch a little roe deer!" a milky voice came out, and the hunter's little girl rubbed her sleepy eyes, sat on the kang and shouted.
"Besides, how dangerous it is in the mountains, there are big tigers who will eat children, go to sleep!" the woman lowered her voice, and frightened her daughter.
Xiao Nizi was five or six years old, and she was used to hearing the stories her father told her about going into the mountains to fight fierce beasts, and she was not frightened by her mother's words in the slightest.
"Daddy is a good boy of the immortal clan, and he has skills! The big tiger is not afraid!" Xiao Nizi's face was full of admiration and pride.
Sheng Dacai walked over with a smile, grabbed his daughter's white and tender face with his strong hands, kissed him fiercely, and said happily: "Good girl, when did the children of our immortal clan ever be afraid of the fierce beasts in the deep mountains? Although our family is a side line, the immortal descendant is an immortal descendant after all, and this energy cannot be discharged!" After speaking, he did not forget to pinch his daughter's little face like a red apple.
The woman lay down with a nonchalant face, closed her eyes and muttered: "In my opinion! The Tian family and the Lan family are only the immortal clan, you should forget about the family! Besides, after so many disasters of the dark tribe, these continents are full of disaster victims, and even having enough food has become a problem, who cares about your voice!"
The little girl couldn't understand what Auntie said, so she took her father's hand and shook it back and forth, begging: "Daddy! Daddy! You can take me there! I promise to be very obedient and obedient, and I won't run around." As she spoke, she rubbed the back of her father's hand with her red face, blinking at the big fortune with two big watery eyes.
The hunter laughed, touched the beard on his cheek, nodded and agreed. Xiao Nizi jumped off the kang with joy and put on her clothes in style.
"You just get used to her! When the time comes, you won't be able to take it back if you want to. The woman's eyes were still closed, and she knew that she could not resist it, so she did not bother to speak, and turned over and went back to sleep.
Sheng Dacai smiled and comforted: "It's okay, let's go around the edge of the forest, and we won't go inside." ”
The woman let out a dreamy "um", and then there was no sound.
Seeing that his daughter was almost cleaned up, Sheng Dacai walked to the stove and squatted down, stretched out his hand in the ashes that still had residual temperature, took out two sweet potatoes the size of a fist, held them in the palm of his hand, pinched them with his hands, and roasted the soft and soft just fire, and sniffed it close with his nose, and a sweet fragrance refreshed people's hearts.
"Daddy, I'm ready!" the little girl dressed and stood at the door, obediently waiting for her daddy.
He smiled at the big fortune, picked up the bow and arrow and the backpack, and took his daughter's little hand and went out.
The two talked and laughed along the way, and looked at their baby daughter with a doting face, and the pain of losing their children three times when the dark army was raging in the first few times seemed to have disappeared.
"Daddy, Daddy! What is that!" Xiao Nizi has never been out since the last time the fleet suddenly came from the sky, and A-Niang told her that those were monsters that could eat people, and said that she would not be allowed to leave the village. I was able to come out this time because I heard from the adults that those big ships were defeated by the stars in the Cloud Palace, and Ah Niang was willing to let her follow her father into the mountains to play. I haven't been out for a long time, and the little girl is naturally very excited.
Sheng Dacai glanced up at the direction his daughter was pointing in, and replied happily: "Nizi, that's Cangwu Mountain! Our ancestors and those stars who beat away monsters live on the mountain. ”
Xiao Nizi looked down and thought for a while, then looked at her father and asked, "Daddy, can you take me to meet them? They beat the monsters, I want to go and thank them!"
Sheng Dacai laughed, reached out and lifted his daughter up, allowing her to ride on his neck.
"Nizi is so good, but! Our Monarch God and those Star Monarchs are busy saving more people! There will be kung fu to come to meet us inferior people!"
Nizi's favorite thing is to sit on her father's neck so that she can see far away without having to tiptoe. She clapped her little hands excitedly and said, "They are all good people, I want to applaud them." ”
Just as the father and daughter walked towards the dense forest with a giggle, a dazzling white light emitted on the top of Cangwu Mountain.
"Daddy, why is there a sun on the top of the mountain?" asked the little girl, pointing curiously in the direction of the white light, patting her father's head.
Sheng Dacai looked up in the direction of his daughter's finger, and the smile on his face immediately froze.
"Close your eyes!" Sheng Dacai shouted, closing his eyes and reaching out to blindfold his daughter.
"What's going on?" Xiao Nizi, who didn't understand the situation, struggled to take another look at the white light, but her father's hand was tightly covered, and no matter how she tried to get rid of it, she couldn't get rid of it.
After a while, Sheng Dacai carefully opened his eyes, only to find that the white light had disappeared, but he saw a small black rice grain size rising from the white light, flying towards the Nine Heavens and clouds, and then vanished.
"Daddy, what's that thing that flies into the sky? it's flying so fast!" the little girl's big eyes looked out curiously through Daddy's fingers.
"Yuntian Monument! Yuntian Monument flew away. Sheng Dacai let go of the big hand covering his daughter's eyes and sat on the ground weakly.
"Daddy, what is that monument?" asked Xiao Nizi with a puzzled expression.
Sheng Dacai immediately stood up, picked up his daughter and ran home.
The little girl didn't understand what was happening, and looked at her frightened father and asked suspiciously, "Daddy, what's the matter? Are you going back? Let's not go to the mountains to catch stupid roe deer?"
"Something's wrong, there's something big!" Sheng Dacai pulled his daughter to run a few steps, feeling that her daughter was running too slowly, so he picked her up and ran back as if she was in a squeaky nest.
Looking at Daddy's frightened expression, and her mouth kept muttering something "doomsday" and "disaster" and other unintelligible words, Xiao Nizi blinked her eyes and asked worriedly, "Daddy, will we have something?"
As soon as the words fell, the two of them heard a sound similar to thunder. Father and daughter raised their heads at the same time and looked in the direction from which the voice came, and saw that in the far south of the sky, something that was also glowing with white light was flying straight into the sky.
Sheng Dacai's mouth grew, and he was not surprised by the white light that soared into the sky, but he saw something even more terrifying that made him rush to the sky—a light gray line appeared on the southern horizon, and this line was connected from southwest to southeast, and he could see it clearly from this high slope.
For Orion who is begging for a living in the mountains, he really doesn't know what this fast-moving gray line is, but there is one thing he knows, the south of Beilun Continent is the Kunpeng Sea, and now the south is born with a vision, and there must be a catastrophe. Thinking of this, he picked up his daughter and ran home faster.
But after running for about ten steps, Sheng Dacai felt that the soles of his feet seemed to be vibrating, so he stopped and put his daughter on a big bluestone on the side of the road, while he lay on the ground and put his ears on the ground, holding his breath and listening to something.
After lying down and listening for a while, Sheng Dacai's eyes widened and he yelled: "It's not good! It's the earth dragon turning over!"
As he spoke, he had already turned over vigorously, picked up his daughter and hid behind the big bluestone.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the earth to begin to shake violently, and a lot of gravel rolled down the hillside, and he saw that the ground at the foot of the mountain suddenly cracked a large hole more than a foot wide, like a scar on the earth.
The earthquake became stronger and stronger, and the father and daughter clung to the big bluestone that was more than half a person tall and did not dare to let go. Suddenly, there was an earth-shattering noise behind them, and Sheng Dacai hurriedly looked back, only to see that the snow on Cangwu Mountain was suddenly gone, and now the entire Cangwu Mountain was erupting with lava, and the bright red magma was wrapped in a large number of stones, which were erupted into the air by a powerful force, and those hot stones roared and pounced on Xunyang City at the foot of the mountain.
"It's over! It's over! Xunyang City is over, and our family is over! It's all over!" Sheng Dacai hid his face and cried, but his body protected his daughter tighter.
Zhuo Hua stood at the porthole at the head of the Yuntian Monument, looked at the shattered continent in front of him and said to Lan Sheng beside him: "Lan Sheng, my heart hurts so much. I heard a wail of pain coming from below. ”
Lan Sheng didn't speak, he closed his eyes as he looked at the rain of fire from volcanoes erupting everywhere, the tsunami raging in several oceans, and the continent torn apart like cloth.
"I'll be back. Come back and save you. Lan Sheng said to himself in his heart.
