Volume 3: The Demon King Chapter 1

Under the scorching sun, everything in the world seems sluggish and lifeless. The sun was like a big ball of fire, steaming and roasting the world, and the air was filled with heat.

There was a group of people walking slowly on the grass, sweating profusely and with chapped lips.

One of them gradually fell behind, and he tried his best to support his body, followed a few more steps, and finally collapsed to the ground due to his physical strength.

Before closing his eyes, the man pointed ahead, his eyes were red, his lips pursed, and he didn't know what he was saying.

Someone in the team glanced back and called out to his companion weakly: "Again, another ......"

The companions walked with difficulty, but they didn't seem to hear him.

"Another one has fallen." The man thought his companion hadn't heard, and repeated it again.

But the companion didn't mean to stop, and someone said lightly: "Got it." ”

"But ......" the man looked at the man who had fallen to the ground, and then at the team in front of him.

"Someone's down,......" he muttered, but kept up with the group.

Under the scorching sun, the fallen man was motionless, only breathing weakly.

After a while, the faint breath was gone.

"Someone...... Poured...... You guys...... I don't know...... ......"

This wasteland with only weeds, boundless, they can't see the end at a glance, and they don't see any hope of survival.

"But we still have to move forward!" There is humanity.

"If you can live if you go forward."

"Not necessarily...... But if you stay here, you will die. ”

So no one spoke.

More and more people fell, and the ranks got smaller and smaller. The water they had brought with them had been drunk and their dry food had been eaten.

Dejected and losing all strength, the people sat down on the grass, gasping for breath with pain.

It seems that life has come to an end.

But at this time, a rabbit came out of the rabbit hole.

It looked around, then at the people leaning against each other on the ground, and then ran off into the distance.

It was the only living thing they had seen these days.

Someone got up from the ground: "Grab it and eat it!" ”

He staggered two steps before falling to the ground. He struggled to stand up and crawled towards the white figure.

Someone laughed weakly: "This man is faint from hunger!" ”

"Save some effort!"

"I'm so hungry that my chest is pressed against my back...... I want to catch up with the rabbit......"

The man had red eyes, hunched over, and swayed: "Catch it and eat it!" ”

The rabbit took two steps forward, then stopped, and crouched quietly on the grass, as if waiting for the man to approach.

The man saw the rabbit squatting not far away, and he gritted his teeth and rushed forward.

The rabbit turned and ran.

The man threw himself into the air.

He was dizzy, and when he looked up, the rabbit was crouching not far away, looking at him quietly.

"Okay!" The man said angrily, "Little rabbit! Dare to humiliate me! ”

He got up in a rage and pounced like a falcon prey.

The rabbit turned and ran, but stopped not far away.

"I'm going to have to catch you today!"

The rabbit's eyes seemed to be full of mockery and disdain.

The man was furious and got up again......

The crowd lay on the grass and stared blankly at the sky.

Someone said: "What about that fool? Where did you go? ”

"Who cares about him......"

“……”

Then there was a deathly silence.

The crowd waited in silence for death to come, and each of them looked up at the sky, not knowing what to think.

Then cheers were heard.

The cheers were mixed with the never-ending wind, and they could not be heard clearly.

Someone listened quietly for a while and said, "That fool is laughing." ”

"I guess it's crazy."

"Maybe it's catching up with a rabbit."

"How could it be ......"

But the fool had no intention of resting, and his cheers were loud and small, but they never stopped.

Someone tentatively asked, "Why don't we go and see?" If he does catch the rabbit, won't we be able to have a full meal? I can be a starving ghost......"

"How could you be chased by him......" said humanely, "Could it be that you are also stupid......"

"I'll just talk about it......"

But after a little quieter, some of them stood up and walked towards the source of the cheers......

"Another crazy ......," someone smiled disdainfully.

"If you're crazy, you're crazy......" the man walked with difficulty, "anyway, it's clear that I've lived a lifetime, and I'm crazy once before I die, what's the big deal......"

Someone followed him.

One of them lay on the ground and snorted coldly: "A group of fools ......"

Soon after, the cheers came more and more and louder......

"No...... You really got caught up with that idiot, right?"

"Check it out! Why are so many people laughing? ”

But the man still sneered: "A bunch of fools, are you trying to trick us into watching jokes?" ”

But there were people around them who doubted themselves, and they thought, "Maybe I really caught the rabbit!" Go get some meat to eat! ”

Soon there was only one person left here.

There were deafening cheers!

The man was a little uneasy: "Why is everyone laughing?" What are they celebrating? ”

He almost wanted to go over and take a look.

But he thought, "How can you catch the rabbit!" They're all lying to me! They all tried to trick me! They all want to see me laugh! They all want to laugh at me once before they die! ”

He felt that the sky was darkening at a very fast rate, and he felt that the whole world was darkening.

A violent feeling of sleepiness hit.

He knew that he was going to die, and he said: "Lao Tzu will never be laughed at in this life!" If you don't go, you don't go! ”

"How can you catch a rabbit?"

Before he died, he muttered, "How can you catch a rabbit?" ”

So he died, with a sneer on his lips.

Just a few hundred meters away from his body, everyone was cheering!

He was right, how could a man who was so hungry that his hands and feet were weak that he could chase a rabbit in this endless plain?

The fool who ran after the rabbit was already a little delirious, he forgot all the pain and discomfort in his body, and had only one thought in his heart: "Catch this rabbit!" ”

The rabbit led him to a depression.

The rabbit crouched beside the grass, motionless.

The fool learned to be obedient, he approached cautiously, and the rabbit did not move.

Finally came to a suitable range, and his body burst up and fell from the sky!

It's up to you to hold down this rabbit!

But the rabbit deftly jumped away from under him.

The fool lay on his stomach in the depression, motionless. He had exhausted all his strength.

But he laughed!

His fingertips touched the water!

He touched the source of life!

In front of him was a pool of water hidden in the grass! There are aquatic plants floating on the water, which blends in with the blue and greenery......

He opened his mouth, plunged his hands into the water, and splashed into his mouth!

Sweetness and coolness that I haven't tasted in a long time!

He drank greedily and shouted for joy......

Before the excitement in his heart could subside, he saw another fruit tree not far away!

Red! Huge! With an enticing aroma!

His eyes lit up, and he ran over like crazy, ripped the fruit off the tree, held it in his arms, and gnawed it with great gusto, crying and laughing!

He's crazy indeed!

He jumped and ran and laughed happily, kissing the meadow, the water, and the trees beside him......

And the rabbit, the man who had led him here, just stayed quietly.

The rabbit sputtered and said in a voice that only it could hear: "Lucky for you!" The demon king saw that you were pitiful, and he couldn't bear to let you die here......"

From the grass at its feet came a little rabbit head, and the little rabbit head asked, "Is this a human?" ”

"Yes." Rabbit Road.

"It doesn't look as bad as they say it is." "You see, they're all fragile beings, and if it weren't for the water and fruit trees you conjure, they would have died." ”

"Humanity is bad for greed." The rabbit said, "When you see that man, he can only eat two fruits, but he has to pick ten and hold them in his arms." ”

The little rabbit head was a little embarrassed: "I seem to like carrots too." ”

"We're preparing food for the winter, it's different."

"Oh." The little rabbit nodded as if he didn't understand.

The rabbit seemed a little upset, and he said, "That doesn't seem right...... I can't always say these things, you should ask the demon king, the demon king knows everything, and he can always make people understand what he means......"

"Oh, good." The bunny nodded.

The little rabbit was silent for less than two seconds, and then he said, "There's a guy over there who died." ”

"Well, I saw it."

"Why let him die alone? It's so unfair to him. You could have turned water and fruit trees into front of them, so that no one would have to die. The little rabbit said.

"Nope." The rabbit shook his head, "It's not fair. ”

"Why?"

"People should always give something before they can get something."

"What to give? What do you get? ”

The rabbit was a little impatient: "Don't ask me if you say it, I can't tell you about these things." You should ask the Demon King. ”
