Chapter 16 The Road

Spiritual power couldn't form a shield, so Yu Qing and Lin Yuan had only two choices, one was to help these people kill those beasts, and the other was to do nothing on the side.

This was obviously what Elder Xing meant, asking them to make a choice: who was more important, real beings or illusory kinds?

But the question is, why did Elder Xing come up with this problem?

......

Yu Qing thought that he would choose to stand on the real side without hesitation, but after seeing the scene below, he wavered.

All sorts of hideous-looking beasts collided head-on with the villagers, and those shoddy weapons did not stop the beasts for even a moment.

The dozen or so people standing at the front were instantly thrown to the ground, their sharp beast teeth biting into their throats, and the beasts raised their heads, revealing their blood-stained fangs, roared angrily, and then lowered their heads and tore the flesh unhurriedly.

The ensuing herd quickly drowned out the scene, and they surrounded the remaining villagers tightly before gradually attacking.

The beasts swooped down on the villagers, some of them were stabbed in the body and flew back, but every now and then, someone was caught in the herd, and then quickly drowned, only to see the blood brought up when the flesh was torn apart, flying in the air one by one.

At this time, the birds that had been hovering in the sky also began to swoop down one by one, like arrows off the string. While most of them are chased away by the spears and broadswords wielded underneath, they do occasionally pick up a person, and once someone is caught in the air, countless birds gather and peck at his flesh until only a pair of bones remains.

......

Looking at this tragic scene, Lin Yuan, who was watching in mid-air, finally couldn't help but turn his head and ask, "Senior Brother Yu, what should I do?"

"Whatever you want. Yu Qing's eyes flashed with anger in the depths of his eyes, but his tone was very indifferent.

Finally, an old man was caught in the air by a huge black bird, and when the birds shot at his body amid the helpless cry of the old man, Lin Yuan rushed out.

The sword under his feet flew out before him, and instantly stabbed the huge bird, and the violent spiritual power directly propped up the bird's body to explode, and the sky was full of feathers and broken flesh, and the flying sword slashed the surrounding birds one by one with lightning speed.

The flying sword caught the old man who was still falling, and after sending him back to the ground crowd, it flew back into the hands of Lin Yuan, who had already fallen to the ground.

At this moment, almost all the birds in the sky swooped towards Lin Yuan, and the fierce beasts around him also turned around and pounced on his body.

The black wave buried Lin Yuan deeply in an instant, and from Yu Qingdi's perspective, he only saw corpses dyed with red blood flying out of the waves, sometimes minced meat, and internal organs.

The corpse of a bird flew out of the black wave, and for some reason, this corpse flew extremely far, and one flew to the top of a large tree below Yu Qing.

Yu Qing looked down and saw that only half of the bird's body was left, the feathers on its body were glued together by blood, and under the broken wings, there were guts hanging out.

And the land where the fierce battle was going on was full of such scenes, with scraps of flesh and blood flowing all over the ground, wild beasts, and many human stumps.

Yu Qing's face turned pale, and he felt a little nauseous.

Suddenly, he saw that the man he had been talking to before was bitten by a fierce beast, two blood sprang out of his waist, and he struggled to swing the spear in his hand with a painful face, but he did not get rid of his fate after all, he was still dragged into the herd.

At the moment when he was overwhelmed by the beasts, his blank eyes looked at Yu Qing.

Who would you choose?

The flying sword under Yu Qing's feet seemed to tremble, but he still didn't move.

......

The black wave that submerged Lin Yuan suddenly burst, countless blood flowers and feathers flew all over the sky, and Lin Yuan rushed out of the sword with those filth.

He was not hurt, not the slightest wound, not even the slightest damage to his clothes, but he was covered in blood, and his original white clothes were completely red, and it was as if he had been poured over his head by a large bucket of blood.

And the bucket of blood was mixed with filthy feathers and fine minced meat.

The birds and beasts chased after Lin Yuan, but when he flew past an invisible boundary, they turned back.

Either you kill them all, or you don't interfere, you only have two choices.

That's the rule.

......

Lin Yuan's sword flew to Yu Qing's side, and then he vomited.

He vomited so hard that when he had nothing to vomit, he was retching in agony.

Yu Qing watched from the sidelines, feeling a little uncomfortable in her stomach.

"You've lost your clothes. Yu Qing turned his head and said no longer at Lin Yuan's clothes covered in blood and dirt.

When Lin Yuan heard this, his spiritual power was shocked, and the outermost layer of clothes turned into powder, but the clothes inside were also stained with blood.

"Throw it all away, my coat is for you. Yu Qingdao said.

So between the lightning and flint, Lin Yuan became naked, and Yu Qing's clothes covered him again.

"What now?" said Lin Yuan as he looked at the tragic scene in the distance with a pale face.

"You are free, I will not do anything. Yu Qing said.

"Why, those are all people! If we don't make a move, they'll all die!"

"Are they human?" asked Yu Qing, turning his head to look at Lin Yuan.

"They ......"

"They're just a ball of spiritual power. ”

"But ......"

"But they looked like men, and now they were to be eaten by the beasts. Yu Qing said.

"Yes. Lin Yuan whispered, "But I can't stand it, I can't stand it, I can't stand my own kind being used as food, I can't stand those cries of pain, I can't stand those cruel pictures, I can't stand my indifferent self." ”

"But those beasts are real, they are real flesh and blood. Yu Qing asked, "Can you see their hot blood?"

"I ......"

"Between the real and the unreal, who do you choose?"

Lin Yuan was silent.

"I choose to be real. Yu Qing said.

"If you can't stand it, close your eyes. He closed his eyes and stopped looking at the tragic and ridiculous scene.

......

Until all the people were killed, Lin Yuan didn't do anything, because he also chose to close his eyes.

The beasts and birds faded away like a tide, leaving only a mess.

The ground had been stained a deep red with blood, and it was littered with fragments of corpses and countless bones.

Yu Qing and Lin Yuan left the land and found a clean place to settle.

"Who told us the way out now?" Lin Yuan asked.

"Looks like we have to go there. ”

Here they calmed down for a long time, and when they felt ready, they went back there.

The village was dead and silent, the ground stained crimson with blood, and the white bones all over the ground made it look like a ghost land, extremely depressing.

"That man said he would tell us the way after we made our choice, but now that he's dead, what should we do?" Lin Yuanqiang asked after holding back the discomfort caused him here.

Before Yu Qing could speak, he heard a voice behind him.

"Walking back, this is the way. ”
