No. 99999 No. 1 Novice Village.

It's been more than a month since the World of Destiny opened, but the novice village still doesn't seem deserted at all. There is an influx of new players every day, demonstrating the unparalleled influence of Destiny World.

A small valley.

The scenery here is as beautiful as a picture, and the air is fresh and intoxicating.

Chen Xue has been here for a long time, and has been breathing the air here hard. The air here is the freshest and most pleasant she has ever breathed. The scenery here is the most beautiful she has ever seen...... This is the pure nature she yearns for the most and loves the most.

There was no one else here but her. Chen Xue also inadvertently walked to this place. After entering the world of destiny, she still retains the kind of rejection of outsiders in her temperament, so she has always acted alone and always avoided crowded places.

In order to get to town early, she has been working hard to level up. After all these days of hard work, she has finally risen to level four. And the one wandering here happens to be the fifth-level little monster butterfly spirit that is most suitable for her leveling. Although this butterfly spirit flies, it flies very low, its speed is also very slow, and it has no attack power, but the amount it spawns each time is very small, and it is not suitable for leveling, so there is no one staying here. But it has become a quiet place that belongs to Chen Xue alone.

Her chosen profession is a trainee fire magician, and her elementary fireball skills happen to be the nemesis of the butterfly spirit. Because she has struggled on the death line for a long, long time, and even tasted death more than once, Chen Xue's love for life is far beyond ordinary people, if it weren't for the fact that she wanted to be promoted to the tenth level and go to Ye Tianxie, she wouldn't want to attack these creatures at all...... Every time she attacked, she desperately told herself that these were just a bunch of data, not real lives.

The immaculate world, moving forward cautiously, and attacking the dancing butterfly spirit girl, this picture is very beautiful and moving.

Every time she kills a butterfly spirit, Tatsuyuki will take a few steps forward, this small valley is very quiet, because there are few people stepping on it, the grass here grows very long, and it doesn't pass Tatsuyuki's calves, she chases the butterflies that appear all the way forward. When she could no longer see the butterfly spirit in front of her, she turned back, only to find that she seemed to have lost her way.

Taking out the return trip to the novice village, Chen Xue was just about to go back, but suddenly saw that on his right, there seemed to be something hidden on the stone wall behind the grass that was more than a person high.

Driven by curiosity, she walked lightly, then carefully removed the grass, and suddenly, a small cave appeared in front of her. The cave is barely one person high, not wide, and at a glance, it can barely be seven or eight meters deep. As the grass was removed, light shone in, driving away the darkness in the cave. In the cave, a man sitting cross-legged on the ground and spreading his head raised his head and looked at Chen Xue.

The stray and long hair covered most of the face, and the face was so dry and terrifying, worse than the bark of an old tree, but it was vaguely recognizable as a woman's face. The eyes showed a kind of cloudiness as if they were blind. Under the combination, the whole face is extremely terrifying, if a person sees it at first glance, the first reaction is to shout, turn around and run, as if seeing an evil ghost coming to the world.

Chen Xue was looking at her, and this old woman like dead wood was also looking at Chen Xue, and at that moment, a slight glow of brilliance lit up in her cloudy eyes. Because this is like a girl who has come out of a painting, no matter her face, eyes, and gaze, she is so pure and immaculate, and she has not received any worldly dust. And slowly, this brilliance turned into a slight surprise.

Someone often strays into this place, and when they see her, most of the people will scream, turn around and flee in embarrassment, and the other half will be shocked even if they don't escape. She knew how horrible her face was.

But...... The little girl in front of her, who looked like she was only twelve or thirteen years old, kept looking at her like this, did not scream, did not run away, and there was not even the slightest fear in those crystal and incredible eyes, but only surprise and curiosity.

"Old woman, why are you here? Over here...... Is it your home? Chen Xue asked, and after asking, she felt that her question was a little silly, and smiled embarrassedly, because how could such a place be "home".

The ethereal voice was as pure as her eyes, and listening to it in her ears made her heart calm. She spoke, her voice extremely dry: "Little sister...... Aren't you afraid of me? ”

"Huh?" Chen Xue's face showed a puzzled expression, thought for a while, and asked, "Old woman...... Why should I be afraid of you? Yes...... Are you a little monster too? ”

Chen Xue's words made the old man laugh, and the smile was stiff and terrifying. Because, she hadn't laughed in a long, long time. It was the first time she had laughed since she came here.

"I'm certainly not a monster...... Little sister, would you like to sit with me for a while? It's been a long time since anyone has spoken to me. The old man looked at Chen Xue and said.

"Hmmm! All right. Chen Xue immediately agreed, walked in, and sat on the straw laid beside the old man. The old man's clothes were tattered, barely enough to cover his body, but they were not dirty, and there was no smell of rancidity or anything like that. Chen Xue glanced at her secretly, her eyes full of curiosity. She can even face life and death calmly, and she doesn't care about the beauty or ugliness of people's appearances at all. Moreover, when she first came in, she felt it inexplicably...... This is a person who is about to die, just like the slightest trace of himself who was struggling on the verge of death. Because she had endured it, she really endured this feeling. Sympathetic, she did not refuse the old man's request.

"Little sister, what's your name?"

"My name is Tatsuyuki."

"Tatsuyuki...... Snow...... It's a great name for you. The old man said. Her voice was gentle, not as terrifying as her appearance. "You're an adventurer from another world, aren't you?"

Chen Xue thought for a while and said, "Hmm! I guess so. Granny, why are you in such a strange place? ”

"Why are you here...... the old man whispered, and shook his head lonely: "Because, now I have stayed here, waiting for my death second by second." ”

"Huh?" Chen Xue looked at her in surprise...... Is this person, just as he felt, really about to die?

"My body is as dry as a piece of rotten wood...... Dead or dead, I should have died a hundred years ago, and why did I struggle to survive to this day. The old man muttered.

Chen Xue looked at her in surprise, turned her face, and said very seriously: "Old woman, you must not want to die at all, right...... Then you can't give up. Woman, you know, I've had a very serious illness before, and I've been dying several times. And just a few days ago, I was on the verge of dying at the last point, and all the doctors said that my illness could not be cured. However, my brother didn't give up on me at all, and just when I was about to die, he really found a way to cure me...... Look, old woman, I'm getting healthier day by day...... Therefore, the old woman can't even give up her life easily. No matter how terrible the disease is, if you have hope, you will always find a cure. I really wasn't lying. ”

Chen Xue's words made the old man's eyes fluctuate slightly, she laughed again, and then said, "Little sister, what you said is very good...... But I'm different, I'm not sick, it's just my life...... It has burned to the end, except for the legendary water of life that can prolong my life for a short time...... There will be no other hope at all. Actually, I am not afraid of this imminent death. I've been waiting for this day ever since I appeared in the Sealed Lands...... A hundred years ago, I should have died, and they all thought I was dead, and I was superfluous to live to this day. ”

Chen Xue blinked, not understanding her words.

Because of the concern in her heart, she is now very afraid of death, and she doesn't want to go back to the days when she struggled on the verge of death and survival every day. It's always better to live than to die...... Why would she say that she has lived until now, it will be superfluous.

The old man looked at Chen Xue and let out a slight whisper from his mouth: "Crystal girl...... Is this the last gift of my life, the last gift of the goddess Xiyao? ”

"Little sister, I don't have the ability to walk now...... Can you do me a favor? The old man said.

Chen Xue nodded: "Hmm! If I could, I'd be serious about helping. ”

"Thank you, little sister...... Can you help me get some water? Just about 300 meters ahead, there is a small stream, where water can be fetched. The old man's gaze turned to the outside of the cave, and his dim eyes barely shone brightly.

"Good...... I'll go right away, old woman, wait a minute...... By the way, old woman, can I know your name? The old woman must be a person with a story. Chen Xue looked up and asked curiously.

"Name...... My real name, I've long forgotten. Later, I had a new name, and they all called me the Sage of the Hundred Herbs. Just a hundred years ago, the Sage of the Hundred Herbs had become a dead man...... It's just that no one knows that she is not actually dead, but lingering in this sealed place, waiting for death in the passage of life, never going back. The old man said in a lonely voice.

"The Sage of the Hundred Herbs? The old woman's name is a little strange...... Then I'll go get water, and the old woman will wait for me for a while. ”
