Chapter Seventy-Nine, The Beast Walks Alone 2

Edra had received a good education from a young age and was aware of the forces and races of the Endless Continent, but he could not understand the custom of the Sand Lizardmen to distinguish between enemies and friends with a guardrail.

Could it be that this desert separating the Truth Continent from the Endless Continent also has unique customs?

It wasn't until he spent three days in the oasis that he couldn't help but ask the demigods to know about this weirdness.

The sand lizardmen are a matrilineal race that has lived in this desert for generations.

They are oviparous and very reproductive, which poses a problem that there is not enough food available in the oasis. So every male who has passed his infancy will leave the oasis to leave the food for the women and children.

These males search the desert for wild beasts, demons, and travelers for food, and sometimes eat the corpses of their kind, entering the oasis only during the breeding season.

They are the guardians of the oasis, and they will be attacked by any species before entering the oasis.

If they die under their claws or sharp teeth, their heads will be stuck in the guardrails; The species that successfully enter the oasis will become the brave and become the guest of honor of the female sand lizard.

Female sand lizardmen will greet guests with sweet water and a variety of food, no matter how long they will stay.

Even when a guest needs it, they will pout their butts and flick their tails to the side, exposing between their legs.

Edra didn't know if anyone in the past would have had this need, but he knew he had absolutely no interest in having an interracial bliss clapping his hands.

Well, even if he is interested, the human demigods will castrate him at the first time.

The choice between a severed bloodline and having a sand lizard people hybrid descendant is not difficult.

On the fourth day of entering the oasis, they set out on another journey.

The wounds of the young squire had healed, and there was no reason to stay.

In this way, the life of the little attendant for half a year was very boring, hurrying, fighting in front of the oasis, and recuperating in the oasis until he walked out of this desert. He also gained a lot, a lot of scars were engraved on his body and he learned to fight according to the instincts of his body, how to kill his opponents more neatly and with less effort.

At the edge of the desert are the towering mountains, which are responsible for the formation of the desert, which place both rain and dampness further west. The sand and dust on one side and the green jungle on the other side are miraculous. But Edra didn't have time to marvel at the wonders of nature, as the second lesson given to him by the human demigods had begun.

"Beasts of prey always walk alone, and the cattle and sheep waiting to be slaughtered form herds. Boy, try to survive and find me in the town on the other side of the jungle. You have three months. ”

He only left a word, and disappeared into the jungle with the cage of the Gold Swallowing Beast.

The dense jungle will give birth to many plants, will inhabit many herbivorous beasts, and will attract many fierce carnivorous monsters.

Edra knew that.

He needs to face this dangerous situation alone.

I am a descendant of a demigod and there is no way back.

I am the last descendant of the Brendo family, not one of them.

He muttered silently, kissed the bracer emblazoned with the family crest, and walked into the jungle.

On the bracer is a tulip, vivid, legend has it that Lilian, the wife of the demigod, is the favorite flower, but time is too far away for anyone to prove the authenticity.

The wise men of the Endless Continent once said: Sometimes time flies quickly, sometimes it passes slowly, depending on whether you are enjoying happiness or suffering.

The little squire's Edra now feels that time is running slowly.

He had been in the jungle for a month, and every day was like a year.

God above, he has never been so helpless.

Although he had experienced many killings in the desert before, just looking at the back of the demigod could summon up infinite courage. Now a man is in the dense trees, with no one to speak, no one to comfort, no tall back as sustenance, and he is afraid.

Yes, he was afraid.

The thick leaves smelled of rot on the damp ground, and he was afraid of a poisonous snake inside; In the shadows of the gloomy trees, he feared that a powerful demon would suddenly pop up, leaving him with no chance to escape; With almost zero experience in surviving in the wild, he didn't even dare to deviate from the direction, because he was afraid of getting lost in the dense mottled light and shadow...

He was afraid of everything.

Because to die here is to live up to the expectations of the family and the demigods.

I'm a Brendo, there's no way back, there's no one.

He was thinking about it all the time, and it became the driving force for every step forward.

Fear is the only way to be fearless.

When he was very young, his fathers said that he had taught this sentence, and he didn't understand it then, but now he understands it.

So after being kissed by a poisonous snake, he swallowed its blood and gallbladder as soon as possible; Therefore, when he is chased by a fierce beast that is higher than his own strength, he will not count how many toenails he knocked off on the stone with his bare feet; So when he is hungry, he will not be tempted by brightly colored fruits and mushrooms ...

Two and a half months later, he finally came out of the jungle.

With a wound and exhaustion, there is also a smell called man.

He has never taken a bath. As a result, when the human demigods saw him, their first sentence was not to evaluate whether he was a little better than the ancestors, nor was it to be satisfied that he came out half a month early, but that you stink!

Then he threw down a gold coin like a beggar and pointed it at a tavern.

Edra slept for a whole day and a night, and if it weren't for the strong protest of her stomach, she would probably have slept for another day.

When he awoke, he found the human demigod sitting cross-legged on the floor, a roast pig, a jug of wine and some fruit in the room, and a brand new pair of boots under the bed.

Can I wear shoes?

Has my test of will been recognized?

He glanced at his eyes closed, like a sleeping demigod.

"Hurry up, we still have a lot to do."

The demigod didn't raise his eyelids under the crown, and said lightly.

"Thank you, Grandpa."

Edra felt the warmth of affection from the food and boots, the first time it was felt from a human demigod.

I am his descendant, and I have his blood in my body.

He was very happy, and although the other party did not speak again, he was already looking forward to the third lesson.

Behind the jungle, the Continent of Truth is full of exotic scenery.

Edra walks the streets following in the footsteps of the demigods and discovers that this place is completely different from the endless continent on the other side of the desert.

For example, here the fierce beast is called a demonic beast, for example, here the woman is the leader.

Yes, it is still the humans who rule here, they have a strict hierarchy, slaves with collars are everywhere, and those who do not wear collars have their robes embroidered with twisted and twisted veins.

The men all wore bushy beards, and the weapon pinned to their waists was a scimitar, like a half-moon, which was sharp from the black and white blades. The women are smeared with two color stripes of paint under the stork bones, red, yellow, blue, and green color combinations, and the color is the difference between their status and status.

Fortunately, although their pronunciation is very strange, it is similar to the other side of the desert, and it can still be understood if you listen carefully.

And these people are very cold to each other.

Along the way, Edra didn't find anyone stopping to greet him, and there was little conversation even at the stalls along the road.

They all seem to be dumb, the buyer points to the item, the seller gestures to the finger, and then they pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other.

What surprised Edra the most was that their eyes were always looking around, as if there were fierce monsters lurking around them. Their right hand is also hanging down, and this position allows them to draw their scimitars very quickly; The crowd of slaves around him blocked almost all the blind spots of attack.

They are always ready to fight.

Edra came to a conclusion, which made him secretly wary, and even the swing of his hands was much smaller when he walked.

And the human demigods have not changed at all, they still do not hurry or slow, and their eyes do not squint.

Also, with his strength, there is no need to be guarded at all.

For the next two months, apart from eating and sleeping, the footsteps of human demigods did not stop.

After crossing several cities, rivers and mountains in silence, the two men came to the outside of a canyon.

"Do you know the goddess of the earth?

"For the first time in more than two months, the human demigod spoke, and instead of arranging a third lesson for the little squire, he asked a question that was not a problem.

Indeed, the question was too simple for the little squire.

As the only demigod descendant, the only heir to the Brendo family in the Endless Continent east of the desert who believes in the Earth Goddess Cult, Edra believes that no one knows the Earth Goddess Cult better than herself.

However, when the little squire had finished telling him everything he knew, the human demigod was silent for a while before he said, "Go and get some prey." ”

"Good..."

Did I say something wrong?

The little attendant was confused, but immediately complied.

This canyon is rare all year round, and there are many wild beasts, and soon he has two fat rabbits and a fawn.

Poor people don't seem to be aware of the dangers of humanity.

When he returned to his original place, he found that there was already a simple wooden hut.

Looks like it's time to start a third course here, he thought.

The flame licked the fawn happily, and the golden grease kept dripping on the red charcoal, and there was a burst of fragrance. With a rabbit leg in one hand and a wine bag in the other, the demigod is no different from an elderly farmer.

"Edla, do you believe that there is a god in this world?"

"I believe that our sacrifices have been answered by them, no matter which god it is."

"Haha.."

The demigod laughed and said with a little sadness, "Child, there is no god in this world. If you have to define God, then there is only one, and that is the God raised by a bitch! ”

The little squire grew his mouth.

I didn't even notice that the rabbit meat in my hand had fallen off and my beard was wet with wine.

Anyone who hears this statement will be surprised, if it weren't for the mouth of a demigod, it is estimated that he would have thrown a fist as a punishment for blasphemy.

There is no god in the world?

Why do so many people believe just to find solace in their hearts?

It is true that the vast majority of people in the world have faith in order to find a habitat for their souls, to soothe the wounds cut by the indifferent world, but are the strong in this world so ignorant?

Their sacrifices on the altar were answered!

Even for the sub-human race who believed in their ancestors, their sacrifices were no exception.

If there is no God, who has responded to them, who has given them a true name?

Even you, the only human demigod in history, can live for more than 200 years, isn't it also a gift from God...

When Edra thought of this, she shuddered and didn't dare to think about it anymore.

He looked at the person he had been admiring in front of him, and said hesitantly: "Grandpa, I don't understand a little..."

"Child, you shouldn't understand, this world will only be understood by those ancient xenos who have awakened the memories of their ancestors."

The demigod sighed faintly, "The Earth Goddess Cult was transmitted to the east of the desert from here, and now it has been exterminated by the True God Sect here, and the place where you are standing now is the ruins of the Earth Goddess Sect's altar." It was also the former habitat of our family, my home when I was younger. ”

"Ahh

Suddenly, Edra was dumbfounded.

His own family is actually from the Truth Continent?!
