Chapter 235: Xiao Ling'er
In the air, the huge red sun mercilessly scorched every inch of land in Lancheng, since the change, this prosperous and beautiful city, has not rained for many months, at the same time, even the Yellow River water that depends on survival has completely disappeared overnight, later, the people living in Lancheng started the idea of underground dark river, but, no matter how deep they dig, they always get dry loess.
It seems that deep underground in the entire Lan City, there is a huge furnace that bakes everything on the ground.
"Mom, I'm thirsty...", in the dilapidated tent, an unkempt little girl timidly said to a man next to her, the girl was about five or six years old, her face was pitch black, and the color of her skin could no longer be seen, only a pair of large sunken eyes and chapped lips.
The woman stretched out her dry palm and gently rubbed the little girl's messy hair, trying to pull her chapped lips, trying to say something, but the long-term lack of water made it extremely difficult for him to even say a complete sentence.
"Ling'er... Be good, be strong... Hold on for a while..."
"Well, Mom, Ling'er can still hold on!" The little girl named Ling'er pursed her lips, and then she closed her mouth tightly, innocently looked at the street corner not far away, and stopped talking, she remembered that her father had told her that if she didn't speak, she could hold on for a while longer.
The woman looked at Xiao Ling'er's sensible appearance, and only felt distressed for a while, and then, she struggled to sit up, took out a bright knife from behind her, put it in front of her, and muttered,
"Husband, if you watch from the sky, I will definitely let Ling'er live..."Perhaps startled by the woman's movements, Ling'er turned around slowly, but when she saw the knife in front of her mother, she panicked all of a sudden, she remembered very well that her father used this knife to cut his wrist dozens of times, and used his own blood to make their mother and daughter live to this point.
The knife that had taken her father's life, and now it was coming to take her mother's life?
"Mom, you don't want it, you don't want it!" Xiao Ling'er couldn't care about anything else, she stayed where she was and cried, but the long-term lack of water also made this elf-weird little girl unable to shed a single tear.
"Ling'er is good, mom is fine"! The woman didn't know where she had the strength, she grabbed the knife in her hand tightly, and slashed directly at her wrist, and suddenly, a touch of blush appeared on her wrist.
The woman frowned slightly, looking at the white flesh turned out of her wrist, and then she grabbed the big arm of her arm, and then brushed it down little by little, only then a wisp of blood dripped down the wound on her wrist into a dirty cup, and after several times, the blood in the disposable plastic cup was less than half.
"Ling'er, come here!" The woman picked up the cup in surprise, and then carefully put it to Ling'er's mouth, and said softly,
"Ling'er, drink it, you won't be thirsty!"
"Mom... Mom..."Xiao Ling'er whimpered, although she was extremely reluctant in her heart, she still choked the small half cup of blood into her stomach.
The woman didn't speak, just watched Xiao Ling'er choke the last drop of blood in the cup into her abdomen, and then she showed a satisfied smile, and then, the knife in her hand
"Dangchang" fell to the already hot ground, and she herself fell to the ground, and the breath between her mouth and nose became weaker and weaker...
"Mother..."Xiao Ling'er shouted, threw herself on the woman, and cried,
"Mom, wake up, don't leave Ling'er, Ling'er won't say you're thirsty anymore, wake up quickly..."
"Woo, water, mom wants water." Xiao Ling'er's eyes lit up suddenly, and she remembered that when her father was unconscious, her mother fed him some water, and her father woke up.
"Mom, you wait for Ling'er, Ling'er will definitely bring the water back!" Xiao Ling'er stood up tremblingly, walked to the corner of the tent, picked up a mineral water bottle, and staggered outside, when she walked to the door, she stopped suddenly, turned her head and looked deeply at the woman lying on the ground, her eyes revealed a touch of firmness, and then walked out of the door without looking back.
Next to the ancient road of the Yellow River, Hu Xia stood quietly on the side, although he had seen many scenes along the way, and he had already prepared in his heart, but at this moment, facing the Yellow River, which was known as the mother river, he was still shocked.
I saw that the water of the Yellow River, which used to run endlessly, has long dried up, and even the riverbed has been desertified, and the original river embankment is overgrown with water and grass and lush trees, but at this moment, in this desertification, there are only some dead branches and leaves, and countless black crows are in the air
"Quack" screamed, and then landed on the dead tree, looking coldly at Hu Xia not far away. If it weren't for the vaguely familiar terrain around him, Hu Xia really wouldn't have recognized it, this is the Yellow River.
"Look, what's that? What a strong resentment! In Hu Xia's breast pocket, the Dragon King pointed to a depression in the middle of the riverbed and said.
"What?" Hu Xia strode forward, each step was tens of meters away, and soon he came to the side of the depression, but the scene in front of him made him stunned in place, and a wisp of aura unique to the innate realm was unconsciously revealed.
In front of him, it was not a depression at all, but a huge deep pit, in which were densely packed with the bones of countless people, and on this skeleton there were countless crows, jumping on this skeleton, looking for food, until they felt the breath of Hu Xia's body, they did
With a "boom", he fled into the air.
"This, this is a mass grave?" Hu Xia trembled physically and mentally, in this pit, he saw not only the bones of countless adults, but even the bones of countless children, roughly estimated, nearly 100,000 people died with this.
"It's... What's really going on here? On Hu Xia's left and right shoulders, the White Fox King and the Rat King also looked at the one in front of them in amazement
"Mass grave", I couldn't believe my eyes for a while, they were beast kings, and they were also very brutal before they were recovered by Hu Xia, but compared to the nearly 100,000 bones in front of them, they were undoubtedly insignificant.
"Can anyone tell me what's going on here?" Hu Xia looked up to the sky and roared, his whole body was bruised, and he vented the anger in his heart to the fullest.
It had been a while since the mutation occurred, and although he had long known that humanity was vulnerable in this catastrophe, the nearly 100,000 skeletons in front of him still deeply touched his heart.
"Roar-" Hu Xia roared, and then, he slapped a palm at the countless crows that were still hovering in the air, and suddenly countless crows exploded into a cloud of blood mist in the air, scattered below
In the "mass grave", there is an extremely strong smell of blood, which makes people feel sick.
"Don't, don't go near there!" Suddenly, a childish voice came from afar, and although it was small, it was still captured by Hu Xia and them.
Hu Xia turned around suddenly, but saw a little girl who was only five or six years old staggering towards him, and in her arms, she was still holding a transparent plastic water bottle, but the water bottle was still empty, and there was not half a drop of water, and the person who came was Xiao Ling'er.
"Hurry up and run, there's a monster!" Xiao Ling'er was panting, although she was exhausted to the extreme, as long as she thought of her mother, she gritted her teeth and held on.
"Hahahaha, the little girl of the human race, you really know where there are still human races, it seems that this king put a long line this time, and he really caught a fish, hahahaha!" Suddenly, an extremely arrogant laughter came from behind Xiao Ling'er, and a three-story tall toad suddenly burrowed out of the ground, and behind it, there were more than a dozen even more huge shrimp soldiers and crab generals.
"It's a three-eyed golden toad, but how did it appear here?" The White Fox King was surprised.
"Do you know this toad?" Hu Xia wondered.
"I've seen it with Elvis Presley of Nine Lives, but it's the Beastmaster of the water, how did it come to this place?" The White Fox King said softly.
"Yes... I'm sorry! Xiao Ling'er snorted softly, and took a deep look at Hu Xia, who was in a daze not far away, and then stopped suddenly, although she was very scared, she turned to the toad and said,
"You... You're going to eat... Just eat me... Well..."
"Hahaha, the flesh and blood of the little girl of the human race is the most delicious, since you took the initiative to stop, then the king will eat you first, and then eat the two-legged sheep, hahaha..."
"Mom, I'm sorry!" Xiao Ling'er slowly closed her eyes, and two lines of blood and tears slowly flowed, ready to welcome the arrival of that terrible moment, but at this moment, a roar that resounded through the sky suddenly sounded.
"Stop it!" Hu Xia roared in his mouth, and then the whole person turned into a five-colored streamer, and appeared in front of Xiao Ling'er in the blink of an eye, blocking the fierce attack of the three-eyed golden toad.
"Human!" The three-eyed golden toad took two steps back, stared at Hu Xia in front of him with wide eyes, and said sharply,
"Who the hell are you, and you dare to destroy the good deeds of this king?"
"I'm your uncle!" Hu Xia roared, and then couldn't help but say, and threw a punch at the three-eyed golden toad.
"Boom!" The three-eyed golden toad jumped up suddenly, and it was able to dodge Hu Xia's attack, but the dozen or so followers behind it were not so lucky, and they were directly blasted into pieces by Hu Xia's punch, and blood flowed like a river in an instant.
"Quack!" The three-eyed golden toad was frightened for a while, and then jumped up again, but this time it jumped into the distance, and after it felt that it had reached a relatively safe place, it turned to stare at Hu Xia and roared,
"Human, you actually dare to kill the king's entourage, no matter who you are, you will definitely have to pay the price!"
"The price? What kind of cost? Hu Xia sneered, his cold eyes staring at the three-eyed golden toad in the distance.
The three-eyed golden toad only felt that his heart was numb for a while, and he stepped back a little again, and then he said hard,
"Today's behavior has angered this king, with your strength you can't keep this king at all, when this king returns, you will definitely slaughter another 10,000 people, in order to vent the hatred in this king's heart!"
"Then you stay!" Hu Xia shouted angrily, and the Glimpse Body Method was used to the extreme, and suddenly four identical figures appeared at the same time, turning into extremely bright streamers, rushing towards the Three-Eyed Golden Toad.
However, the three major beast kings such as the Jiaolong King jumped off Hu Xia's body the moment before he rushed out.
