Chapter 4: The Barren World!

100,000 Demon Mountain, not that there are 100,000 mountain inhabited by monsters. Rather, it describes the landscape here as full of mountains and mountains, and it is the boundary where the beasts and demons live. Only these beast demons in the form of various beasts can come and go freely in this wild mountain forest full of ancient trees.

One Hundred Thousand Demon Mountain is located at the southern end of this world, far from the core of this world, which is barren and savage. Bloodthirsty beasts everywhere, dangerous Jedi everywhere. In addition to the vast ancient road left by the once glorious human race, the entire demon mountain is covered by ancient trees and vines that cover the sky and the sun, and the sunlight is scarce all year round, and the miasma is pervasive...

There is no kingdom in the Demon Mountain, and the beasts and demons here are respected for their strength and race. Each occupies its own mountain, and they rarely go out of their territory except for the summoning of the demon king.

At this time, in the vast wild forest, a group of Terrans of about twenty or thirty people was struggling to walk through the forest. Among them, old and young, dressed in rags, some dressed in tattered coarse linen, and some men wore only animal skins around their waists.

Young and old, they clutched the weapons in their hands. One of them, a tower-like man, with a huge sword hanging from his waist and a mummified figure wrapped in grass and vines on his back.

"Grandpa, why don't we throw him away? He has been in a coma for a whole month, and Uncle Yan has been injured twice in order to save him. ”

In the team, a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old, with bright eyes and bright teeth, looked very thin due to a long-term lack of nutrition. The long-term lack of sunlight makes her skin look a little pale.

She pouted, pointed to the mummy on the big man's back and said, "A month ago, in order to save him, we sacrificed two clansmen. Uncle Yan also activated the Yanhuang bloodline, so he lost a full three years of life. He was so badly injured that we had to risk our lives to find the elixir, but a month passed, and he didn't react at all except breathing. Grandpa, why is that?"

The old man, who was complained by his granddaughter, glanced back. Kindly touched the girl's head, smiled kindly, and the two leaky front teeth looked a little funny.

"Ahri, now our human race is no longer as glorious as it used to be. Thousands of people are losing their lives every day, and we must be united. No matter how difficult it is, we cannot abandon any of our compatriots, whether it is now or in the future, you must remember that only by uniting and loving each other can we struggle to survive in this troubled world. ”

The old man looked up at the sky, and through the layers of leaves, he vaguely discerned the direction: "The Supreme will bless us!"

"The Supreme will bless us!" The little girl put her hands together on her chest and prayed, "Grandpa, where has the Supreme gone? Will they really show up?" Ahri wants to miss his father and mother, Ahri wants to eat the soft pastries that Uncle Yan said, and Ahri wants to wear clothes that are slippery and soft to the touch. ”

Ahri tugged at the coarse linen clothes on his body, which were full of tiny cuts, stained with dirt and blood!

The old man touched Ahri's head and quietly wiped his moist eyes: "Yes! Ahri, you have to firmly believe that the Supreme will definitely appear one day." As long as we don't give up, we will..."

......

Lin Yan left the system space, his consciousness returned to his body, and he heard the conversation above. The girl's innocent words and the old man's vicissitudes of life answered that Lin Yan's heart trembled.

Sacrifice only to save!!

In that civilized world, in that era of intrigue and intrigue, who would be so simple? Just to save an irrelevant person, he paid for his precious life! Lin Yan felt that they were very stupid and naΓ―ve, but his heart was full of bitterness...

Lin Yan opened his mouth, wanting to say something. But I found that my body was too badly injured, and I could sense the outside world, but my body didn't listen to it at all. can only silently be a mummy on the back of the big man.

"Patriarch, the humidity around is getting heavier and heavier, and it is estimated that it will rain heavily tonight, so we have to find a cave to take shelter. ”

The man, who was called Uncle Yan by Ahri, grabbed a handful of dirt on the ground, observed it carefully, and said, "This is barely the territory of the tiger demon, and it is relatively safe for the time being." We can take our time around here. ”

The old man took Ahri by the hand, thought for a while, and said, "Okay, then let's recuperate in this area for two days, and it just so happens that your injuries should also be healed." ”

"Yan Li, you go around and find a safe and secluded place. The old man pointed to another young man.

"No problem. Patriarch!"

Yan Li was a hearty young man, with bronzed skin and a huge iron bow on his back. His arms were much longer than normal for a human, like an ape walking on the ground.

I saw that my arms waved in my eyes, and I climbed the ancient tree of the sky with dexterity, and disappeared into the dense forest after a while.

Uncle Yan walked up to Ahri, took out a piece of dried meat from his bag and handed it to Ahri, saying, "Ahri, Uncle Yan specially left it for you." ”

Looking at the piece of dried meat that was a little blackened in Uncle Yan's hand, a sound of swallowing and drinking saliva sounded all around. Ahri stared at the jerky, trying to swallow the saliva that came out of his mouth

"Uncle Yan, eat it yourself! Ahri is not very hungry. And Ahri loves to eat fruit!"

After saying that, Ahri tried to take his eyes off the jerky and went around to look for wild fruits that could be satisfied. The rest of the clan wiped their saliva and scattered around in search of food.

"Hey, my hard-working child!" the old man sighed, "Yan Tower, you can keep the meat of this tiger demon and eat it yourself." You are still injured, and now you are the only one of us who can activate the bloodline of the Yan Emperor, and everyone still depends on you for protection!"

Yan Ta didn't refuse, sat cross-legged on the ground and began to silently nibble on the jerky. He knew better than anyone that only he still had the strength to fight in this wild forest, and if he died, then the only remaining people of the clan might die.

While silently nibbling on the jerky, Yan Ta chatted with the patriarch: "Patriarch, do you say that there is really our kingdom in the East?"

"Yes. The East is the birthplace of our human race!" the old man leaned against a big tree, closed his eyes and said, "I remember when I was very young, my grandfather once told me that our Yan Clan is the descendant of the Supreme Yan Emperor, and there is our kingdom in the East. Even if the Supreme Beings don't come out, it will be impossible for those alien races to break through our kingdom. Because there are holy weapons left by the Supreme and formations left by the ancestors of the past generations. ”

"If our kingdom still exists, with Supreme Sacred Weapons and Ancestral Formations, then why don't those powerful sages come out to find and save our human race?" Yan Ta asked.

"It's just that the barren land is too big, in addition to these 100,000 demon mountains, there is also the bitter cold of the extreme north. Our kingdom is in the farthest east, where there are vast oceans and countless krakens. The supreme does not come out, and the sages have to deal with the hundred clans in addition to dealing with the kraken. Once we were all over the worlds, such a vast area, and the sages could not reach it. The old man said with a pained expression: "Do you remember the golden rain you saw three years ago? Once it falls, the supreme mana will dissipate in the heavens and the earth, turning into a golden drizzle, nourishing our human race and protecting the foundation of our human race. ”

The Flame Tower was silent, and the sage was second only to the Supreme. Every sage is the treasure of the human race, and I didn't expect this kind of legendary character to fall.

"Yanta, you know what? I've lived for more than a hundred years and seen four golden rains. My Terran race has reached a precarious point, I have seen our civilization destroyed by aliens, I have seen our cities burn in flames. I saw the power of our Terrans flee to protect the Terrans, staining the earth with blood. Our civilization was destroyed, and this era entered the age of barbarism, and we fled from our homes and walked in the mountains and forests. But we can't give up hope, only by living, will there be hope!"

The old man's words are loud, as long as you don't give up, there is hope in life...

"Grandpa, what do you think Ahri has found?" At this time, little Ahri ran back in a hurry, his eyes narrowed into a crescent moon, and he handed the things in his hand to the old man like a treasure.

I saw Ahri holding a small white flower in his hand, and the small flower had three white petals on it, and each petal had a lightning mark on it.

"It's the flower of electric shock. Only during a thunderstorm, when it is struck by lightning and absorbs the power of thunder and lightning, it is effective in treating internal injuries!" The old man looked at it and asked in surprise, "Ahri, where did you find it?" ”

Ahri pointed to the grass not far away and said, "Ahri found it there, Ahri has a very powerful nose! Grandpa, hurry up and eat this flower, your injuries will be healed after eating it!"

Ahri was like offering a treasure, his eyes flashed wide, and he looked at the old man expectantly.

"Haha.." The old man smiled and said, "Little Ahri has grown up and knows how to care about his grandfather." But ah, grandpa, this is an old problem, and it doesn't work if you eat it. If you give the flowers to that zongzi brother, maybe he will get better!"

"Oh--" Ahri lowered his head, walked in front of Lin Yan, and reached out to poke Lin Yan's arm: "You said you, why didn't you wake up yet! Ahri also gave you the electric shock flower that she worked so hard to find, and Grandpa said that because you are the same clan, I can't leave you behind." But you haven't moved for a month, will you never wake up!" Ahri muttered as he carefully broke Lin Yan's lips and put the petals into Lin Yan's mouth.

Lin Yan listened to the little girl's chirping, and also learned a little about this world. For these simple people, Lin Yan admires them very much. I also like this little girl who calls herself Ahri.

As soon as the electric shock flower touched the saliva, it melted into a cool liquid that slid down Lin Yan's throat and into his stomach, and a tingling sensation spread all over his body. Feeling that his entire body was being repaired quickly, Lin Yan moved his eyelids and found that his eyes could be broken open.

Ahri, who was feeding Lin Yan flower petals, saw Lin Yan's eyelids move, and then opened them, with a pair of black and white eyes, flashing a green light.

Looking at each other, Lin Yan looked at Ahri's bright eyes and slightly sallow cheeks. A slight smile appeared: Hello!

Ahri's big eyes blinked, and he suddenly let go of the hand holding Lin Yan's head with a sudden scream, stood up and ran: "Grandpa, grandpa's big zongzi woke up." ”

"Bang--" Lin Yan's head made intimate contact with the ground, and his head, which had just been sober, was dizzy after being hit on the head.

Ahri, who was halfway through the run, seemed to remember something, stuck out his tongue, turned around embarrassedly and came back to help Lin Yan up and lean against the tree, and carefully rubbed the back of his head for him.
