Chapter Twenty-Seven: Monsters
In fact, at the moment when the two five-grade source demon bodies fell, everything was already a foregone conclusion.
The resistance of the Terrans has become stronger, while the source demons are constantly being killed, and their numbers are decreasing.
Under the dissipation of the other, the invasion of the source demon, which originally made the Qiu family feel almost suffocated, is gradually calming down.
And the source of all these changes turned out to be only brought about by the arrival of Ji Chuan and Lu Qingshan.
…………
Half an hour later.
After Peach Blossom blasted the last Sanpin Source Demon in her sight into pieces, she circled and returned, submerged into Lu Qingshan's body, and disappeared.
"It's over." Lu Qingshan's gaze swept over the wreckage.
The continuous heavy rain in the sky finally stopped at this time.
In this source demon invasion, the Qiu family can be said to have suffered heavy losses.
The outermost area was the most dire, with the heaviest casualties.
The total population of the entire Fenglin Town is only thirty or forty thousand, and this battle, according to preliminary estimates, at least nearly 10,000 people died, most of whom were mortals.
Under the wanton impact of the Source Demon, all the buildings in Maple Forest Town, except for the Qiu Family Land guarded by the Spirit Array, were all destroyed.
Houses collapsed and dilapidated.
The streets were torn apart by ravines, and blood mixed with muddy water flowed through them......
It's miserable.
"Thank you two Shangxiu for their help and saving our Qiu family from dire straits." Qiu Changqing walked in front of Lu Qingshan and Ji Chuan, and said solemnly gratefully.
"Trouble the head of the Qiu family to find a room first and settle Miss Qiu." Lu Qingshan waved his hand, he didn't mean to take credit, he just glanced at Ji Chuan beside him, and said to Qiu Changqing.
When Ji Chuan was wiped out of the source demon and there was no danger, he had already put the little beggar down.
But Qiu Shiyin, who had passed out in a coma, was still held in the crook of his arm.
There is a very interesting psychological phenomenon called compensatory psychology.
Ji Chuan seems to have fallen into this psychological phenomenon at this time.
Because of his previous misunderstanding of Qiu Shiyin, he felt guilty about Qiu Shiyin, and now he can't help but care about Qiu Shiyin as compensation for his previous mistakes.
Lu Qingshan thought secretly in his heart.
When Qiu Changqing heard this, his eyelids couldn't help jumping, and he looked at Qiu Shiyin, who was pale, and Ji Chuan, who was a little worried in his face, and said respectfully: "I'll arrange it." ”
........
Qiu Shiyin slowly opened her eyes and found herself in an unfamiliar environment.
She was lying on a large soft bed.
"You're awake."
A slightly hoarse voice came.
Qiu Shiyin looked in the direction where the voice came, and a familiar figure came into view.
"Ji Chuan ......" For a moment, Qiu Shiyin was in a trance, and soon, her memory gradually became clear, and the scene before the coma came to mind.
"Those children ......," Qiu Shiyin's voice trembled slightly.
Ji Chuan naturally understood what Qiu Shiyin meant, and sighed, "When I arrived, there was only the child you were protecting, and the other children were already ...... So ......"
Qiu Shiyin was silent.
She closed her eyes slightly, and scenes flashed through her mind.
The wind and rain were blowing, and the rain was continuous, and countless ferocious monsters roared and rushed into the town of Maple Grove, rushing towards the children.
The children were stunned, and they didn't perceive the so-called danger at all, until those source demons tore these unlucky children into pieces and slaughtered them unscrupulously.
She tried her best to stop the source demon and save the children from the mouth of the source demon, but it was all in vain.
One child after another died in front of her.
The painful screams of the children before they died still echoed in her ears and lingered.
She felt a tightness in her chest, a little gagging, and her breathing couldn't help but become heavy.
At this moment, a warm hand covered her cold palm.
A warm spiritual power was then transmitted, turning into a stream of heat that flowed throughout her body.
"Don't think too much about it......" she heard Kikawa's voice.
After a long time, she finally relented, opened her eyes again, looked at Ji Chuan's angular face, glanced down again, and stared at her palm in a daze.
Ji Chuan was holding her hand tightly.
Seeing Qiu Shiyin coming over, Ji Chuan was a little flustered and quickly let go of Qiu Shiyin's softness.
just watched Qiu Shiyin put his hand into the quilt, but somehow, there was an inexplicable reluctance in his heart.
"In my mind, I've always treated those kids as my little brothers." Qiu Shiyin suddenly spoke.
"Brother......" Kikawa muttered.
This was the second time he had heard her mention her brother from Qiu Shiyin's mouth.
"My younger brother is also a 'toad'." Qiu Shiyin said slowly.
Ji Chuan nodded slightly, Qiu Shiyin had also said this before, and he naturally remembered it.
"However, he is different from other 'toads'," Qiu Shiyin's eyes flashed with memories, "The other toads just look like monsters, and their essence is still human, but ....."
Qiu Shiyin paused, and then said, "My brother, it's really a monster. ”
"Monsters?" Ji Chuan's heart suddenly tightened.
"It's a monster," Qiu Shiyin said very calmly, as if she was telling the story of someone else who had nothing to do with her, "When it first came out of my mother's belly, it was thin and small, but it was covered with blue-black scales, its eyes were weirdly yellow, and it was obviously just born, and its mouth was already full of sharp fangs. ”
Kikawa didn't know what to say.
It was the first time he had heard that a monster would be born from a man.
"Moreover, its birth also cost my mother her life," Qiu Shiyin continued: "It grew so big, my mother worked hard to give birth to it, and before she even had time to look at it, she lost her breath." ”
"But it's okay, so that Zi Niang won't know that she even took her life, and the child she gave birth to in the end would be a monster." Qiu Shiyin smiled.
"Later...... This? Ji Chuan asked in a hoarse voice.
"I originally wanted to kill it because it's a monster," Qiu Shiyin's voice gradually became low, like a cry, "but just when I was about to do it, that little monster ..... It opened its eyes suddenly, and those yellow eyes looked at me motionlessly, and then it moved, and it stumbled and rolled on the ground and rolled to my feet......"
Speaking of this, Qiu Shiyin showed a bitter smile, "I've just been born, and I can walk on the ground, isn't this a monster?" ”
"It rolled to my feet and stretched out its claws vigorously," the emotions in Qiu Shiyin's voice became more and more complicated, "It hugged one of my feet tightly and screamed happily at me. ”
"Yes, I don't understand the meaning of its shouting," Qiu Shiyin affirmed, "but I can feel its joy." ”
"I grabbed it by the neck and lifted it up, and it didn't resist anything, just let me fiddle with it obediently, I wanted to just pinch its neck at that time." This time, Qiu Shiyin paused for a long, long time.
Ji Chuan didn't rush her, but waited patiently.
Finally, Qiu Shiyin continued: "At that moment, my eyes met its eyes.
I thought that the eyes of this monster must be cruel and cold.
However, at that time, I clearly saw in its eyes a human emotion similar to admiration. ”
"It seems to know that I am its relative, its ...... Sister. ”
