Chapter 1: Night has come

Next Chapter

"Men have to rely on the sword and blood to seize their own status and glory. ”

A man's rough voice echoed in his mind, and the sharp pain was like a ripple that had been stirred up, washing over the entire brain layer by layer, oscillating back and forth.

Pain, severe pain, the painful Xu Shaolan fell into a coma again.

In her sleep, Xu Shaolan had a dream, which was about a cowardly teenager.

The boy is the youngest son of the iron-blooded doctor Xu Hao, with three brothers and one sister, the boy is cowardly by nature, but he admires Xu Hao very much, enshrines his words as a holy decree, and engraves them in his heart, but his heart is extremely eager to be recognized by Xu Hao.

It's a pity that from his birth to his death, just thirteen years passed in a flash, and he didn't get even one praise from Xu Hao, only disappointment and annoyance.

It is worth mentioning that the boy's name is also Xu Shaolan, which has the same name as himself.

Through this dream, Xu Shaolan, who fused the memories of the teenager, also roughly understood his situation.

This is a world of backward technology and magical abilities, a world where a human race is not the strongest of the species, and this world has all kinds of terrifying dangers.

Now, for example, night has come!

"Bang!" a sturdy girl slammed open the room's weak wooden door, which slammed against the wall, causing the whole room to groan and dust to the ceiling.

Looking at this girl who was as strong as a northerner, but with a delicate appearance, the word "white rice" jumped out of Shaolan's mind, which was her name.

It is said that after she was born, the benevolent and great iron-blooded doctor Xu Hao rewarded her family with a pound of white rice, so she had such a name.

"Little master, you're awake, it's great. Bai Mi breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed Shaolan and ran out, pulling Shaolan stumbled and almost fell.

Before Shaolan could tell her to slow down, Bai Mi had already stopped, because she had already arrived at her destination.

Well, the destination is this yard, or rather the small tree in the middle of the yard that is only half a meter high, with bare branches and only a budding leaf.

This is the Xuanguo tree, which is the core of the human race in this world, and its importance is equivalent to the effect of electricity on the earth on people, and even surpasses it.

At this time, in addition to Shaolan and Bai Mi, there were nearly 100 people squatting next to the courtyard wall in the courtyard.

They wanted to get close but didn't dare, with the Xuanguo tree as the center, a circle with a radius of five or six meters was vacated. The eyes of those who bury their heads in their knees like ostriches, and look up from time to time to sneak a glimpse of Shaolan, are also full of fear, fear, confusion, and despair.

At the edge of the circle, there were six men with weapons staring at the others, they were Shaolan's soldiers.

Just yesterday, when they were negligent, Shaolan was pushed to the ground by a pariah, his head hit the ground, and he almost died, and today they say that they have to protect Shaolan well, unless they don't want to die.

After such a while, the last afterglow of the sunset also disappeared, and only endless darkness remained between heaven and earth.

Puff, pop, the sound of a violent heartbeat and wheezing was clearly audible, and the fear in my heart was spreading.

At this moment, the Xuanguo tree began to emit fluorescence, and the faint fluorescence could only illuminate a three-foot place, and the five fingers were still invisible in a little farther away, but this fluorescence reassured everyone.

"Whoop!" "Whoop!" "Whoop!"

There was a strange laugh, and in the darkness it seemed that a monster was coveting everyone, ready to choose someone to devour.

Everyone covered their mouths to prevent themselves from making a sound.

Bai Mi pulled Shaolan and hid within the three-foot fluorescence of the Xuanguo Tree, and everyone in the courtyard unconsciously shrank their circle and approached the Xuanguo Tree.

It's like a group of demons dancing outside across the wall, and they will break through the wall at any time to have a gluttonous feast.

In a dream, Shaolan saw the night.

Night is the time for all the demons and monsters, and the ghosts and spirits go out to forage for food, and only the light emitted by the Xuanguo tree can make them dare not approach.

It's a pity that Shaolan's Xuanguo tree is still a small sapling, and the light emitted by it is weak, and no one can say how much it has a deterrent effect on the creatures in the dark.

"Ahh

"It's called a soul crow. Bai Mi, who was bigger than Shao Lan, squeezed around Shao Lan in fear, trembling, and the hand that tightly grasped Shao Lan's arm was too hard and extremely pale.

A piece of information automatically popped out of Shaolan's brain: Soul Crow is an extremely common demon, which has a fatal soul-calling effect on people with weak bodies and weak souls, and can directly seduce the souls of the living and turn them into dead people. But for people who are strong-willed and have a strong soul, it just makes people feel irritable.

Poof!

A scrawny young man dressed in sackcloth threw himself to the ground.

A handful of screams swirled and swirled, and the frightened crowd lay on the ground with their ears covered like ostriches, their buttocks pouting high.

At this time, an old man with a resolute face and a white beard crawled to Shaolan's side with both hands and feet, he was Shaolan's guard captain Tie Jian.

"Little master, when night just fell, there was a soul crow, which is not a good sign, if we attract powerful monsters, the Xuanguo sapling will not be able to protect us. Just in case, the little master of the blood sacrifice bar. ”

Blood sacrifices, sacrifices made with blood and life, blood-stained Xuanguo saplings will emit stronger Xuanguang and give them more powerful protection.

Three of them had already died.

This is going to kill!

Homicide?!

Shaolan panicked.

In his previous life, he was just the most ordinary member of the Earth Celestial Empire.

A small civil servant, with no money, no background, no sociability, and no ambition, don't think about climbing up, I'm afraid he will be a small civil servant for the rest of his life.

I just want to marry a good girl and have a little doll.

As a result, his mother crossed over inexplicably, and crossed into this precarious place.

Shaolan asked herself: Is he an unscrupulous hero to achieve his goals?

No, I am used to peace and law-abiding.

Not to mention killing, the number of fights from small to large is only a handful.

Are you a hero, a hero, who is brave and self-sacrificing?

No, I never have the courage and conviction to go into the darkness, and I don't even have a strong will.

If you had perseverance, perseverance, and ability, you would not be an ordinary person in your previous life.

However, such a self has inexplicably become a small leader, and the burden of nearly 100 lives here is on his shoulders.

If, if you don't have to make this decision yourself, you're just a passive member.

If others are sacrificed by blood and let themselves live, they will not have a sense of guilt, and there should be a little bit of joy, and at most a trace of sorrow.

But reality has no ifs.

Shaolan wanted to complain about Xu Hao, but he drove them out by giving each of his children a Xuanguo sapling and a hundred people, asking them to open up new villages and new territories.

Otherwise, there would be no danger today.

But now is not the time to complain.

Homicide?!

Kill people to save others, or sit back and watch the situation deteriorate and even more people die.

The cruel choice was placed in front of Shaolan.

Tie Jian, Bai Mi, and all the leaders looked at him with fear, worry, fear, and longing.

Waiting for him to make a choice.
