The wind at night was no longer as refreshing as usual, but it was a little restless today, and the boy sat alone on the branch, looking into the distance and remembering something.

The sharp axe cut through the air in a perfect arc, with a trace of cold wind whistling up, and finally split on the thick tree trunk, they flowed with hard sweat, with a satisfied smile on their faces, this moment seemed so harmonious and happy, but in the eyes of the young man, looking at the thick trees falling to the ground in response, watching those same dryads slowly dissipate, his heart was full of grief, but what could he do? Their demonic power is not as high as their own, and they have not yet cultivated into human form.

There is no greater pain in the world than when you are powerless in front of you.

With a light sigh, the boy looked up at the bright moon, as if he saw the little girl's smile in the past, but he knew that this kind of time was running out.

"Chirp...... Tweet ......"

A group of elves came from all directions, surrounding the young man, and one of the elves said in a gloomy voice: "Brother Xiaofeng, we have all discussed, you and Sister Hehuan are the most powerful among us, and you have both cultivated to a half-human form, so we think that if we sacrifice all of us, you and Sister Hehuan may be able to cultivate as adults, and you will be able to avoid this catastrophe at that time." ”

When the boy heard this, he clenched his silver teeth, drooped his head, and clenched his hands tightly, tears dripping down his trouser legs.

"Brother Xiaofeng, don't be sad, even if we are gone, you and Sister Hehuan must live well."

"Brother Xiaofeng, you and Sister Hehuan want to live for all of us and go to the human world together, okay?"

The elves around him were all comforting the boy, but the boy didn't say a word from beginning to end, just drooped his head, tears of sadness kept dripping, he didn't expect that before facing the disaster, his partners would think like this, sacrifice themselves, and achieve them. It stands to reason that as a dryad with the highest demonic power, he should take the initiative to stand up and protect everyone, but in the end, it is himself who is really protected.

"Brother Xiaofeng, don't be sad, as long as you and Sister Hehuan live, you can go to live in human society, you can realize your wishes, get married and have children like humans, and then live happily for a lifetime."

The elf who took the lead rubbed the boy's shoulder with his face, comforting him.

After being silent for a long time, the young man said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, it's me who is not good, it's me who is useless, I can't protect everyone, and in the end I want you to protect me and Hehuan, I'm sorry." ”

The teenager felt very guilty, but what could he do? In the face of human aggression, their only outcome is no choice but death.

"Okay, I promise, I'll make it clear to Sister Hehuan."

Although he didn't want to agree, it was better for everyone to die together than to survive with Hehuan, he wanted to fulfill his promise to Hehuan, get married and have children, and live like a real human for a lifetime, he admitted that he was selfish, but there was no way to do it.

"Chirp...... Tweet ......"

The surrounding elves all smiled with satisfaction when they saw the boy agree.

……

……

"Hey, hey, hey."

In the distance, the trumpets of the human procession were heard to mark victory, and a group of men ranging in their twenties and forties were walking forward carrying their beloved logging tools, and behind them, several huge trucks accompanied by smoke and roar, they were advancing into the depths of the forest like a wild beast of ancient times.

"Here they are."

The young man sitting on the branch looked frightened, stood up sharply, climbed to the huge canopy, and looked at the wolf-like adult men on the bare hillside not far away.

"What's wrong? Brother Xiaofeng. ”

The little girl staggered up after the boy, and when she saw the humans in the distance, she innocently cheered: "Yes, yes, yes, I can finally live with humans, it's great." ”

Although he couldn't bear to break the little girl's innocent fantasy, but at this moment, the boy couldn't care so much, he grabbed the little girl's hand and said, "Hehuan, they won't live with us." ”

"Why?"

The big smart eyes flickered and blinked, and the little girl looked at the young man in front of her with a confused face, today's brother Xiaofeng was a little different from the past.

"Because...... Because they will kill us. ”

The boy gritted his teeth, his heart was full of grief, he knew that this day would come, but he didn't expect it to come so soon, he couldn't bear to break the little girl's innocent dream, but a dream is a dream after all, and in the end the dreamer has to wake up.

Unable to care so much, looking at the sluggish little girl, the young man grabbed her hand, jumped up suddenly, and ran into the depths of the forest.

Huge ancient trees cover the sky and the sun, thick branches and green leaves crisscross the sky, like a huge spider web blocking the scorching sun in the sky, only a little sunlight shines through the gaps in the branches, this scene can only appear in fairy tale books and now it really exists, but in the near future, this place will be turned into a wasteland, where all life will disappear without a trace under the sharp axe of man.

A group of small and delicate elves seemed to have expected this moment for a long time, and they all gathered there, and the large green area looked so beautiful.

"Brother Xiaofeng, they're here."

A little elf jumped up to the boy and said, the boy did not speak, only nodded, he did not dare to face this group of weak beings, because it would not be long before they would follow the path they had chosen and disappear forever.

"Let's get started."

The boy turned his head to look at the little girl, and before the little girl could come to his senses, he pulled the little girl to the center of the elves, and stood there silently, his palms were slightly straining, his teeth were creaking, he didn't want to face the next picture, but he had to face it.

"What to start? Brother Xiaofeng, everyone, what are you going to do? ”

The little girl finally realized that something was wrong, tugged at the corner of the boy's clothes, and then looked anxiously at the elves around her, and a sense of unease lingered in her heart.

The surrounding elves slowly floated in the air one by one, their whole bodies began to emit a bright green light, and those rays of light slowly merged into the bodies of the two along the space, the little girl finally realized the crisis, she wanted to stop all this, but she couldn't break the palm of the teenager no matter how she struggled, she turned around and hugged the boy, crying and pleading: "Brother Xiaofeng, do you tell everyone not to do this?" I beg you. ”

Tears gushed out with sadness, the little girl hugged the boy and cried silently, she felt helpless and desperate for the first time, she looked at the silent teenager, and finally could only let the elves turn into all their demonic power and flow out of her body.

The dark sky is low, the cool stars are with you, the insects are flying, the insects are flying, who are you missing?

Just like Yang Shuo's "Insects Fly", the elves turned into stars in the night sky, emitting the most brilliant brilliance at the end of their lives, and they ended their lives in a way that they thought was worthwhile.

The light of the stars is getting less and less, and the elves who originally surrounded the two have all disappeared, the young man raised his hand slightly, stroked the top of the little girl's head, and comforted him: "Hehuan, without the company of Brother Xiaofeng in the future, you have to survive happily, and survive well as a real human being, for me and for everyone." ”

With that, the young man's body began to glow with a bright green light, and his body was slowly disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and beams of light flowed into the little girl's body.

"Don't, don't, Brother Xiaofeng, Brother Xiaofeng, don't leave me alone, don't leave me alone."

The little girl desperately hugged the boy tightly, trying to keep him, but she fell to her knees with a thud and let out a heart-rending roar as she looked at the disappearing boy in front of her.

"Don't cry, Brother Xiaofeng and everyone will always be with you."

The moment the young man's slowly dissipating hand touched the little girl's cheek completely disappeared, turning into a stream of bright green light floating in the air, this moment was so cruel and realistic.
