Chapter 257: Growth

He still believed that there was food in the trees, and that his mother could not let them go hungry like this.

The heavy reality shattered the last of his illusions, and he leaned against the trunk, ice blue tears streaming from his eyes.

He is so unwilling, so many days of peace, but in exchange for such a result, do they really want to starve to death here?

My sister's eyes were heavily closed, and she had no more strength.

From beginning to end, she didn't say a word to her brother, hoping that maybe it would give him the motivation to persevere.

Just let her help her brother in the end.

Whoop......

The younger brother hugged the trunk of the tree and whimpered in a low voice, similar to the cry of a human whiner.

Nothing......

Time flies, and my sleeping brother suddenly wakes up from a nightmare.

Looking up at the sky, the moon is shining.

As soon as the soles of his feet slipped, he immediately fixed his body with his wings and gently floated to a slightly stable branch.

Looking down at his sister, who didn't move at all, the corners of his brother's eyes were sour, and he couldn't help but cry.

He pulled himself together, looked around, and began to pick down leaves with his beak.

At this time, fortunately, it is not yet a harsh winter, and the leaves are still crisp, which can temporarily play a supplementary role.

He consciously only plucked the leaves on the edges, but this was also a great test for his psyche.

When there is a nest under his feet, he will feel so tall that he will have a great sense of accomplishment. But when there was an abyss under his feet and he couldn't see the end at a glance, he could feel trembling all over his body.

From trembling at the beginning, to being indifferent later, the younger brother also began to grow.

He kept repeating the fixed movements, walking back and forth, picking leaves, dropping them, and continuing ......

This went on for two full hours, until the sun shone brightly.

The younger brother did not stop, and the elder sister was not awake yet, but he didn't know if he could come up next time, so he could only drop as many leaves as he could.

When a few branches were almost plucked out, he finally stopped.

The whole mind is muddy, and picking leaves has even become a knee-jerk action.

Day 26.

The mother did not return.

The younger brother finally jumped off the trunk of the tree and fell into a leaf.

He hadn't felt such a cool breath in a long time.

Not daring to slack off, the younger brother immediately rolled over, climbed next to his sister, touched his sister, and found that there was no reaction, he immediately found a few young leaves in the pile of leaves, and carefully sent the element into his sister's mouth.

The leaves of this tree are very bitter, but the leaves are very fat, and if he controls the amount of food he eats, ten leaves in a meal are enough.

There were about three or four hundred leaves he plucked, enough for them to hold on for a while longer.

Sister, wake up......

The younger brother called next to his sister, and kept sending in the young leaves.

For so long, he didn't eat a single thing, but he didn't care about eating himself at all, if there was anything wrong with his sister because of him, he would never let himself go for the rest of his life.

Sister......

Not......

My sister began to chew, and it was the coolness of the leaves that made her temporarily regain some consciousness.

The younger brother was overjoyed, and the stone in his heart finally fell. He picked up two leaves at random and began to gobble them up.

In the past few days, he has really starved to death.

After a full meal, his eyelids fell, covering his pupils, and he soon fell asleep.

He couldn't hold on.

This sleep is two days.

Day 28.

He slowly woke up, and the first thing he did was to look for the figure that was close to him.

Now he finally understands that his only reliance is his sister at present.

After looking around anxiously, he spotted his sister leaning quietly on the edge of the nest.

My sister's eyes were lowered, looking into the distance, although her face was still pale, it was undoubtedly much better than the previous coma.

The younger brother didn't come over, he was still full of self-reproach for himself, and curled up beside him, like his sister, looking into the distance.

Mother...... When will he be back, he misses his mother......

Day 29.

Now, their lives are stable again, and the younger brother no longer needs to worry about the elder sister, although the taste of the leaves is not suitable for them, but in order to live, it has to be so.

In terms of nutritional supplements, the leaves are definitely not as good as frozen meat, and they are all losing weight day by day.

On the thirtieth day, the younger brother plucked up the courage and asked his sister how to cultivate.

He was ready to be rejected, and even planned to comprehend it himself, but his sister told him all the points she understood in the next second, without reservation.

Then turn around and continue to lie in the corner.

The younger brother turned around and began to cultivate, and the corners of his eyes were tightly closed, moistened by an inexplicable liquid.

His current cultivation method has been transformed by his sister to the best he can do, and his younger brother can feel that his strength is constantly improving.

They began to enter a steady process.

Practice, sleep, eat.

There is not the slightest superfluous activity, and they do not know what to do.

Twenty days passed.

Fiftieth day.

Fifty-seven days have passed since they were born, nearly two months.

They are largely self-sufficient by leaning on large trees.

If you want to plant the whole tree, you don't know how long it will last.

Winter is approaching, and the leaves on the trees are also limited, and when the leaves are completely shed, they will have no food source and will fall into the dilemma of fasting.

However, there is no need to worry much lately.

After cultivating for so long, his younger brother was able to fly directly to the tree, and he guessed that his sister could also fly up, maybe she was too lazy to fly?

But it doesn't matter, during this time, I rely on him to take care of my sister, so I have a sense of accomplishment.

Fifty-first day.

The younger brother picked more than a hundred leaves, and he was not going to pick too many, wanting to leave time for the tree to buffer.

Brother......

A call made the younger brother get up immediately and ran to his sister's side in confusion.

You see, down there, what's it?

The younger brother's eyes widened, barely seeing the tiny black dot in the distance.

Is it a mother?

The younger brother was a little surprised, he was able to fly here, except for his mother, he couldn't think of other strange beasts.

No...... That's not ......

Having cultivated longer than her younger brother, her sister broke through to the level of a third-order alien beast twenty days ago, and learned to fly at an extremely fast speed.

This point made his younger brother extremely envious, but he also knew that he was almost a month slower than his sister before he started cultivating, and he didn't have the opportunity of his sister, so he could only take it step by step, which could be regarded as down-to-earth.

Now, as far as the line of sight is concerned, the younger brother of the second-order alien beast does not see as clearly as the elder sister.

My sister's face gradually became solemn.

No, no, that's not Mother, that's ...... Walk!!

What's that, sister, why be afraid?

That's our natural enemy...... Dire Eagle!
