Chapter 302: Behind the Defeat
When the corpse giant reached the top of the Jianmu Divine Tree and grabbed the edge of the tree house with his hands composed of countless corpses and severed arms, everyone thought it was over.
Inside the treehouse, Su Man hugged Bao Meng, and the two of them were crowded with women who were called mothers by the mountain boys.
However, there was no fear in their eyes, only death.
Over the years, they have experienced countless deaths, and what is this time?
For them, this death may be the real relief.
The half-demon and the mountain boy who were guarding outside the tree house were still fighting under the leadership of Tang Rongrong, Li Yunfan, and Zhan Tianya.
They did not give up hope because they firmly believed that Tang Xiaohao could turn the tide.
Although Tang Rongrong could no longer fight, she stood in the most dangerous place and told those half-demons and mountain children who were fighting about what happened in Liangcheng.
She told everyone that even in the face of the powerful nine-tailed fox demon, they didn't give up at that time, she talked about Su Mu, who was one enemy and one hundred enemies, and talked about the lone soldier Ah Mo and her sister Hanshuang, Aoki, who was intoxicated to protect the elves, and the little bell who tried to break the moon in the snow, and Tang Xiaohao, who finally defeated the fox demon and saved everyone.
Therefore, she firmly believes that this time she can also overcome the "impossible".
It was precisely because of Tang Rongrong's belief that she did not choose to dodge when facing the giant hand that the corpse giant was about to shoot.
Even if you dodge it this time, you may not be able to hide it next time, since you believe it, then be firm!
The moment the huge palm slapped on the top of Tang Velvet's head stopped, and then it collapsed. From that giant hand, the corpses and severed arms on the surface of the corpse giant began to scatter, and when they smashed to the ground, it was like a purgatory rainstorm.
Looking at the corpse giant that fell down and disintegrated in the air, Tang Rongrong, whose face was covered with blood, smiled, she knew that Tang Xiaohao had done it.
Zhan Tianya looked at the Lingci Sword in his hand and found that there was not a trace of blood on the sword.
Li Yunfan and the other half-demons and mountain boys had not yet come to their senses, they were stunned on the spot, and some even maintained an attack posture.
What's wrong?
What happened?
One of the half-demons grabbed the tail of his companion and bit it, and it didn't realize that it was not a dream until his companion jumped up in pain.
"Are you biting ***?"
"I thought I was dreaming."
"Then why don't you bite your own tail?"
Then, there was a cheer from the top of the Jianmu Divine Tree.
The deafening cheers, the laughter of the aftermath of the catastrophe, mixed together, finally turned into a cry.
At first it was just sobbing, then covering their faces and crying, then some people wailed, and some people couldn't cry at all because they were so sad that they just knelt there with their mouths wide open, as if they could only vomit tears out of their throats.
When Tang Xiaohao ran back under the tree, his pace slowed down slowly, and then stopped, because the tree was full of corpses, densely piled up into a small mountain.
There are not only corpses, but also corpses, as well as half-demons and mountain boys.
Tang Xiaohao also saw the corpse of Ye's Wujun, who had been completely distorted at the top of the corpse pile mountain.
Yip's Five Jun? Now it has become the five bodies of the Ye family.
Fu Minglou couldn't bear to look at it anymore, closed his eyes, he once thought that he had seen cruelty.
Tang Xiaohao began to gasp, as if he couldn't breathe, and he recalled in his mind the cruel battlefields that his father Tang Chen told him, such as the battlefield of purgatory.
He never thought about the battlefield with great enthusiasm, because Tang Chen told him that war is cruel and unkind, and most of the time, war is unavoidable.
Therefore, everyone who has been on the battlefield is afraid of war, and those who are forced to participate in war in order to prevent something from happening have spent their lives thinking about how to avoid war.
Whether it is a general or a strategist, for them, the problem that can never be solved is to avoid war.
Even so, he still didn't dare to imagine that it was so cruel that he couldn't even see a whole corpse.
"I'm sorry," Fu Ming
Lou finally spoke, "I'm also one of the culprits."
Tang Xiaohao didn't react, but he knew that Fu Minglou could say this, which showed that he still had a conscience.
Heaven and earth are born and all have a conscience; If this conscience is lost, it is not far from his own hands. Sages teach people, always a right path; If you abandon this right path, you will always walk among thorns.
Tang Xiaohao looked at the ground and said, "The sage said that conscience is the inherent standard for judging whether it is good or evil in the heart, and it is the unique thoughts and feelings of people. Because of conscience, we will do good deeds and be helpful. Because of conscience, you will know that you will repay your kindness and repay virtue and practice; Because of conscience, we will be jealous of evil and hatred, and follow good as flow. Conscience is also the dividing line between man and beast."
Fu Minglou closed his eyes and said, "What I did in those years is not as good as a beast."
Tang Xiaohao said, "The sages are well versed in the rise and fall of human beings in ancient and modern times, so they will guide people to take the right path. Because the right path is the only right shortcut to reach the goal. If you leave the right path and go to the left side of the road, maybe the road will be full of thorns, maybe you will get twice the result with half the effort, and more seriously, you will go in the opposite direction."
However, there are some people who do not follow the right path, because they only see shortcuts, and if they need to betray their conscience and extinguish their conscience when they embark on shortcuts, they will still have no hesitation.
That's what people are.
People are not as good as demons.
Tang Xiaohao thought of Liang Cheng's past again, and he felt that he hated people more and more.
When Zhan Tianya, Tang Rongrong and Dongshan Xiao came to Tang Xiaohao's side, Tang Xiaohao was still looking at the ground.
The three spirits looked at each other, but no one spoke.
Zhan Tianya just stepped forward and handed over the Spirit Gift Sword with both hands: "Spirit Lord."
Tang Xiaohao took the sword and asked, "How is it?"
Zhan Tianya was silent, and turned his head to look at Tang Rongrong.
Tang Rongrong hesitated for a moment and said, "There are fifteen half-demons left, twenty mountain boys, those mothers are all fine, the war spirits are also here, and the princess and Aunt Su Man are safe and sound."
Tang Xiaohao was silent for a long time before asking, "When I took those half-demons away, they were four hundred and forty-four, and there were one hundred and thirty mountain boys, am I not mistaken?"
Tang Rongrong said, "You remember correctly."
Tang Xiaohao turned his head to look at Tang Rongrong, and immediately turned his head away, because he didn't want Sanling to see his tears: "I lied to them, I said that I would take them away safely, I said that I would protect them, but I didn't do it."
Dongshan Xiaodao: "Donal, we all know that you did your best."
Tang Xiaohao closed his eyes and said, "It is precisely because I know that I have tried my best that I feel sad. I actually knew from the beginning that even if I would win, it would be a miserable victory, but I didn't expect it to be so miserable. I'm too weak, I need to be stronger, both mentally and physically."
Tang Rongrong said, "Let's go up first, the princess and Aunt Suman are still waiting for you."
Tang Xiaohao followed Sanling to the back of the tree house, looked at the surviving half-demons and mountain boys, and wanted to say something, but couldn't say anything.
The seriously injured Grandma Xiong leaned against the trunk of the tree and nodded towards Tang Xiaohao.
When his eyes focused on Tang Xiaohao, Tang Xiaohao felt that those gazes were like sharp blades, and he lowered his head to avoid walking towards the tree house.
As he was about to get to the treehouse, he stopped, turned to his knees facing the rest of the people, and said, "I'm sorry."
The three spirits also immediately knelt down, and the war spirits floating around also fell to the ground and knelt down one after another.
Grandma Xiong endured the severe pain and immediately got up: "Donkey, what are you ......?"
Grandma Xiong also knelt down immediately, and the other half-demons and mountain boys also knelt down.
"I'm sorry." Tang Xiaohao couldn't cry at the same time that his forehead hit the ground, and he didn't know what to say except sorry.
Bao Meng and Su Man led the girls out slowly, and they were silent when they saw this scene.
Bao Meng ran to Tang Xiaohao, hugged him, and hugged him like that.
Although she didn't know what happened to Tang Xiaohao before and what she had experienced, she understood.
She understands, that's enough.
Suman immediately said to the women, "Go and help."
Then, Su Man asked Bao Meng to lead Tang Xiaohao back to the tree house to rest, and she could see that Tang Xiaohao was exhausted.
Before this battlefield, Su Man originally wanted to tell Baomeng everything, but because of the overly tense relationship, the two didn't say anything, and there were other people present, so they had to give up.
Now that everything is over and Tang Xiaohao has returned safely, Su Man is ready to tell everything he knows.
Who knows, after Tang Xiaohao entered the tree house, he actually fell asleep by relying on Baomeng.
Although Bao Meng is taller than ordinary girls, it is also very difficult to support a big man like Tang Xiaohao.
When Su Man was about to help, Bao Meng said, "It's okay, let him lean on, he's too tired."
Just when Bao Meng turned his head sideways to look at Tang Xiaohao, Tang Xiaohao said in a low voice, "Little Bell, where have you been?"
Although Bao Meng's face changed, he quickly recovered, still looking at the man leaning on him with cherished eyes.
I should call it a man, not a boy.
Suman asked, "Little Bell is the girl who was with you last time, right?"
Bao Meng nodded, "Yes, the most beautiful one, beautiful and powerful, and smarter than me."
Su Man said, "I saw last time that you and the colt are not really husband and wife."
"Really?" Bao Meng smiled, "It's not the colt's fault, it's that I still have someone else in my heart at that time."
Suman asked, "What about you now?" Who is it in your heart? Pony or someone else?"
Bao Meng sighed, "Both. It was my first man, how could I forget? But just because I don't forget doesn't mean I still like him."
Su Man looked at the sleeping Tang Xiaohao: "Although the horse seems to be improper, it is very reliable, the most important thing for a man is to be reliable, and reliability represents everything."
Bao Meng said: "Little Bell is the first wife that Ma Mingmei is marrying, and the first woman he loves in this life."
Su Man nodded slowly: "Very few people can love only one person and sleep next to only one person for the rest of their lives."
Bao Meng looked at Tang Xiaohao sideways, and suddenly felt a little sad, not for himself, but for Tang Xiaohao.
She knew that when Tang Xiaohao had thought that he only loved one person in his life, but the person he loved deeply had someone else in his heart, otherwise she would not leave.
Everything is a cycle, just like now, Bao Meng feels that she can't leave Tang Xiaohao, she has fallen in love with him, but he has another person in his heart.
The most terrible thing about fate is not that it is gone, but that it has become a bad fate.
