Chapter 22: Just a Mother
I huddled by the wall alone with my back to them in a daze, the crystal pillars protruding from the rock wall reflected the figure of Qian Yi and them smashing stones, I don't understand their position, no matter what their origin and real intentions are, I believe that not many people are willing to risk the unknown or death just to take a fossil of a corpse, there must be something behind this. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Perhaps, as Qian Yi said, this corpse fossil means something extraordinary to them. And I know that I don't have the power to interfere with the actions of others. It's just that I have never had a way to deal with this matter, and when I mention or associate the topic of life and death, I always can't control myself.
"You're going to be sad like that." I didn't know each other for a long time, but Qianyan's words touched me thoroughly.
Sand ...... Sand ......
The sound of the tip of the knife hitting the crystallization encompassed the entire cavern, and I couldn't help but turn my head to look behind me in curiosity.
Qian Yan is quite good at rock crystallization and other things, although she has known that this is her strong point, but the girl who has studied stones still attracts my attention. She first dragged the tip of the ice axe and knocked out a few major cracks on the crystal, the cracks would be separated by the crystalline stones from the bottom point one after another, like incomplete puzzle pieces, and then Feng Xin would put the short blade into the crack and use the lever principle to knock the crystal down.
It is roughly the same as the steps of knocking on stalagmites, but this crystal stone is relatively hard, and from the standpoint of a bystander, the efficiency of Ziche and Feng Xin is N times higher than mine, and there is no superfluous action to start as accurately. I looked at Nuwa's face, and there was an indescribable familiarity.
......
Quack...... Yes......
Just as they were banging on Nuwa's waist, a high-decibel scream was torn apart from Nuwa's throat in an instant, and the snake's tail, which was not restrained by crystals, slammed to the ground like a dragon flying into the sky, and the crystal cave shook the sky and the earth in an instant. Nuwa's snake tail kept struggling and throwing bombs, and the crystalline stones on the top fell one after another every time it hit the ground, this thing came suddenly, everyone didn't expect it, they didn't expect that after tens of millions of years, this Nuwa would still be so powerful.
The crystal pillars that fall from the height are like spears, mercilessly piercing into the rocky ground. My skin had been cut open by the bursting stones, and I jumped to the side in fright, my back pressed against the wall, trying to reduce the chance of being pierced by these crystal spears. They were no better, they were shocked by the sudden counterattack, and they all rolled off the snake, but they reached out and landed beautifully after a few volleys.
Nuwa's cry is shrill and piercing, and I can understand why there are rumors in the West that the mermaid's song is so beautiful and has the magic of seduction, and it is said that many sailors at sea are attracted by the mermaid's song and disappear. The voice of Nuwa was bright and high-pitched, like a soprano girl in an opera house.
After all, I didn't grow up in the West, and I really didn't have a talent for appreciating opera, and the extremely high pitch it made was like a poignant magic sound to me.
Nuwa's miserable screams continued to resound, and the long snake body also stirred violently, as if it was about to break free from the rock wall. Crystal Rock firmly grasped Nuwa's body, but as she continued to struggle violently, half of the flesh that had been submerged in the rock layer was torn apart, and gradually broke away from Crystal Rock's control.
Eventually, she managed to get out of the rock formation and fell to the ground. The entire back of her head and back were blurred with flesh and blood, revealing Bai Sensen's spine and skull, and some of her internal organs were exposed and clearly visible.
Witnessing this scene, I was stunned, and when I saw that my heart was about to break through the ribs in my chest, I subconsciously pressed my palm to my chest, and I tasted the taste of bile in my mouth again.
After Nuwa fell to the ground, there was no movement for a while, her back was facing up, and the blood red was spread out in front of our eyes.
I turned my head and asked, "Aren't you...... Say she's dead?"
His eyes were serious, and his two straight eyebrows were intertwined, "Hmm......"
I swept my gaze to the other two, their faces were more incredulous than surprised, and their expressions were quite solemn, and you can imagine what a serious mistake it was for the three of them to misjudge at the same time.
There was silence in the cave, except for the sound of my breathing. What's wrong with this Nuwa, who has been imprisoned here for tens of millions of years, why did she suddenly want to break free regardless of her life?
I didn't question Feng Xin's judgment ability, they are indeed veterans in this area. Besides, I also think that the possibility of this Nuwa cheating death is very high...... But I just don't understand why she did this, those two people came to this space before, trapped in the illusion she set up until they died, this Nuwa could have treated us in the same way, why did she stop halfway. Could it be that this Nuwa can't bear to let us die unexpectedly, seeing that we are not harmful, the barrier of illusion has been lifted, and the so-called compassion is shared by everyone?
My mind was full of all the contradictions about this matter, and I didn't notice the change in front of me, and before I could react, I only felt a tearing pain in my abdomen, and the Nuwa attacked me with rapid speed, and the pair of fangs bit my right abdomen fiercely, and I instinctively wanted to strike her out.
However, at this moment, a very sad coolness flooded over my heart.
Knowing the reason why this Nuwa was struggling so much, her vision was blurred.
No matter what kind of creature she is, with or without feet, I feel that she is just a woman at the moment, a woman who just wants to protect her children.
?
Being a mother is strong, whether she will be betrayed by the whole clan, lose power, or even choose to live for a long time, all because she is a mother. No matter whether this child is male or female, no matter whether this child brings her a blessing or a curse, she is willing, as a mother, the child is all she has, she just wants to protect her child...... That's all.
I couldn't hide my excitement, I didn't feel the pain in my abdomen, I met her gaze, her pupils were very clear and beautiful ruby red, and she told me her sorrow in the most intense way.
It's really just a moment, what is called heart-rending pain, I know it in my heart.
At this time, Feng Xin took an arrow step forward and slashed at the back of Nuwa's cervical vertebrae, only to see her head twisted at 90 degrees, let go of the bite on me, and her broken body lay on the side.
"What do you do?" I yelled at Feng Xin with all my might.
"If you really want to take her life, you must cut off her head." Feng Xin's expressionless face completely angered me, and at this moment I didn't measure the gap with his strength, I raised my fist and waved it at his face, and his neatness made me unwilling, aggravating the intensity of the punch, and punching and kicking him irrationally.
??
Ziche and Qian Shi pushed me away, and I still kept roaring, my fists and feet waving in the air like crazy, and I hated his cruelty in my heart.
Syllable!
A loud slap was thrown in my face, and I lost my balance and fell to my knees.
"Do you want her soul to be trapped here forever?" Feng Xin roared angrily, shaking the heavens and the earth.
I had a terrible pain in my left ear, I could barely stand up, and for a moment I glared at him, and he glared at me and trembled.
I crawled up to the Nuwa and picked her head up. The brilliant ruby red had covered me with a thin layer of mist, and my eyes were bursting with tears, and I could no longer restrain myself.
The hands held her tighter, her body was heavy, that was the weight of her life.
Stop clinging, I told her in my heart. I know you can't give up the child, but he's no longer there. You have to believe that there will be a better place for his soul, your responsibility has been fulfilled, stop clinging.
The pair of ruby red eyes held in his arms fell a drop of real pearls??
Soon after, Nuwa's body gradually turned shriveled, and the flesh peeled off piece by piece and finally turned to dust, leaving only a dry bone in place, proving that she had ever lived.
Ziche bent down and picked up a small spherical crystal from my knee and silently handed it to Feng Xin.
Qian Yan also wrapped her arms around my shoulders tightly from behind, and her strength was not light, and even her fingers turned white.
When did humans begin to have souls?
In other words, when did the soul begin to dominate human beings?
