Volume 1 Life Ups and Downs Chapter 18 Snow Fox (2)
The old foxman's tone was still calm, "In order to make their death more slow, I have also developed some techniques that can heal their injuries. But no matter how slow they are, they will eventually die, and I will continue to be alone, waiting for the next challenger. In the days of waiting, there is only emptiness, loneliness, and coldness. ”
"Challengers come up at longer and longer intervals, and sometimes I've been waiting all year long. My heart was growing more and more eager to end this life, and I was afraid that I would go crazy if I went on any longer, and God seemed to stop paying attention to me. He hadn't given me guidance for a long time. ”
"Suddenly one day, I felt the earth shake. Not the violent tremors, but the low, sluggish, sustained ones. Feeling this tremor, I somehow suddenly guessed that there must have been a landslide and a sea crack in the distance. Later, God's will confirmed my inference. ”
"God told me that there was a devastating catastrophe in the outside world, and that ninety percent of humanity, nay, ninety percent of all living things, had perished. He told me to leave this with the original crystal on the dome and go to the warm south to find a suitable place to survive, and he will give me new guidance in the future. ”
"I followed God's instructions and took the original crystal on my body and walked out of the snow cave. The outside world has changed dramatically as God said, the original snowfield has disappeared, only light blue crystals remain, the blue sky and white clouds have disappeared, the whole sky has turned into a strange dark blue, the sun has lost its trace, and the whole world seems to be shrouded in a big blue cover. It doesn't seem strange to me, though, because it's very similar to the one in the snow cave, it's all the same blue. ”
The old fox man continued: "I went all the way south. Those who are thirsty eat ice and snow, and those who are hungry hunt prey. Although the snow with blue crystals was poisonous to others, it had no effect on me. ”
"Although the vast majority of life has become extinct and there are very few animals alive due to this devastating disaster, I have long since adapted to eating a meal for a month. And my recipes are already different. In the face of my power, not even whales have the power to resist. ”
"All the way south, through the whole cold ice field, the plateau, the Gobi, the desert, until I met a human. Humanity is living a miserable life right now. The tall buildings have been reduced to ruins, and all the humans who survived have left the ruins of the city and fled to the wilderness, where they live a life of farming and hunting like primitive people, and even the tools are garbage picked up from the city. ”
"As I walked south, I tried to make contact with the older people I met. Older people have seen the world, they don't have too many overreactions, and their bodies are weak, even if they have an overreaction, it's not a big deal. ”
"After I had shown them my might, they said that I was a fox fairy, and bowed down to me, begging me to help them kill the beasts that were disturbing their habitat. For me, it's a no-brainer. Kill the beasts, they regard me as a god, and invite me to their settlement. ”
"From them, I learned that the war had been going on for many years, and that all countries had suffered heavy losses. Not long ago, the defeated side snatched a spaceship to escape the planet, but the spaceship exploded, releasing a large amount of radiation. ”
"The equipment that could have operated automatically was all burned down due to the impact of radiation, and the city's power supply, water supply, gas supply, subway, railway, nuclear power, information network and other equipment were all destroyed, and secondary disasters such as fires, explosions, floods, and train derailments were all destroyed, and the city was almost completely destroyed. ”
"Before those who survived could recover, the wreckage of the spacecraft fell from the sky into the Pacific Ocean, triggering a tsunami and volcanic eruptions under the sea, and destroying all life in the Pacific and Pacific Rim countries within hundreds of kilometers of the coastline. ”
"The humans who survived had a difficult life and had to farm, hunt and gather in the most primitive ways. I felt very pitiful for them, so I stayed behind and taught them how to use the Force. ”
"God really favors human beings too much, and gives them talents that are beyond my reach, so that I can't help but envy, and even a little jealous. Learning to use the Force increases the efficiency of human farming and hunting several times. ”
"And after mastering the Force cultivation technique, the growth rate of the human Force is far faster than I imagined, and in just over ten years, many people have been promoted to the sixth level of the Force Master. Soon they discovered the secrets of Force metals such as Ming Copper, Thoryin, and Dark Gold, and began to mine and smelt Force metals to create Force weapons. ”
"These Force weapons can even do damage to me. Gradually, I noticed that the way some people looked at me changed, no longer with no distractions, but with something more complex, both the excitement of eagerness to try and the fear of failure. ”
"I was scared. Yes, scared. Actually, I can kill them all, but I can't. Because most of them still revere me, and those who have distractions have not done me any harm. But I know that this distraction will spread, it will swell, it will come true. ”
"For fear that I didn't teach them about the changes in the Force, which was the secret I relied on to save my life. I quietly left them and continued south, into a forest where no one had ever been. ”
"In the forest I met orcs. Orcs worship power more, have less complex brains than humans, and have kitsunes among them who are somewhat related to me. So, I stayed and became their high priest. ”
"But this time, I didn't teach them those things the way I teach humans. That's too dangerous. I only teach them how to strengthen themselves with the Force, make their bodies stronger, and become warriors who are good at hand-to-hand combat. I've lived here for a thousand years, and I've seen firsthand how the orcs here have grown from a small settlement to a large tribe of tens of thousands. ”
The old fox man sighed with emotion, "Thousands of years, in a flick of a finger." Nothing seems to have changed, except that I'm not old. ”
Wang Xiaotian's eyes were confused, and he looked at the old fox man in confusion. Seeing this, the old fox man smiled, and the wrinkles on his face were huddled together, "How can you understand this when you tell you? Even if you are omniscient and omnipotent, how can you grasp people's hearts?"
Hearing the old fox man's words, Wang Xiaotian suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, but he couldn't grasp the clue and couldn't find the reason.
The old fox man looked at Wang Xiaotian's frowning and speechless, and shook his head, "Although you are an extraordinary body created by God, your mind has not grown up after all, and you are still just a child, a little beast without resistance. ”
Wang Xiaotian sensed the danger, he was very scared, and wanted to raise his hand to push away the old fox man who was close at hand, but found that he had completely lost control of his body. He couldn't do anything but think, not even a finger.
The old fox man's eyes flashed with cunning, "Do you feel that you can't move? Are you so scared that you want to get up and run away?" I said that this pot of Soul Leaving Tea is specially prepared for you, and the medicinal power is calculated just right, so that you can be completely conscious but your body can't move at all. ”
"Actually, even if you don't drink this pot of Soul Leaving Tea, with your first-level Force, you won't have any power to resist in front of me. I can twist you to death like an ant with my little finger. I just don't want this transcendent body to be hurt in any way, to leave any blemishes. ”
The old fox man looked at Wang Xiaotian greedily, as if he wanted to eat him whole, "Only God can create a flawless transcendent body. Now that God is no longer able to protect himself, perhaps it has long since disappeared, otherwise why has he not given me guidance for nearly a thousand years?"
"Who knows if he's still alive? Is he dying? Even if he survives, will he have a chance to make the next transcendent body? Maybe even if he wants to make it, can make it, and has the opportunity to make it, I'm afraid it will be hundreds of years before he makes it. ”
The old fox man sighed, "I'm old, even if my spirit is strong and my will is not extinguished, but this remnant body can't wait that long, and now if I move a little bigger, this remnant body will be damaged." I don't want to be conscious, my body decaying, being thrown into the wilderness like garbage to rot!"
Wang Xiaotian looked at him in disbelief, "You've been lying to me?"
The old fox man shook his head slightly, "No, no, no. How can they lie to you all the time? The most clever liar is true in everything he says, but he can make people draw conclusions that are contrary to the facts. The second class is nine truths and one falsehood, or eight truths and two falsehoods, and the falsehood is in the most inconspicuous place, and it is the kind that is difficult to prove. The kind of liars who are full of lies are the most unscrupulous liars. ”
The old fox man put down his crutches, stretched out his thin paws, and pinched Wang Xiaotian's body, like a livestock dealer picking livestock.
He pinched it and said, "Almost everything I just told you is true. ”
Wang Xiaotian couldn't help but blurt out, "It's almost all true?"
"That's right, almost. Except for my devotion to God. The old fox man still kept pinching left and right with his paws, and he was amazed, "Extraordinary body, tsk, it's really flawless." It's so tempting to think about how powerful it will be when you're mature! I've been planning for three years, but I've been struggling to get into the hinterland of human life to bring you back, but I didn't expect those humans to bring you into the forest, God help me. ”
Wang Xiaotian suddenly remembered that he and Ye Annie came to Qingchuanyi three years ago. Could it be that the old fox man sensed his existence at that time?
The old fox man pinched for a while, was satisfied, remembered the question just now, and continued: "At first, according to God's guidance, I came to the first snow cave, and saw lemmings, snow rabbits and berries everywhere, and I revered God beyond measure, and I was willing to die for God, immediately, immediately! Because without God's guidance, I would have died of hunger on the snowfield. ”
"When I got to the second level of the cave, I was scarred and dying, but I still had a lot of reverence for God. After all, it was God who gave me a second life. In the third snow cave, I defeated all the enemies, and while I was biting at their corpses, a thought suddenly popped into my mind, why did God have to let me do this?
