228: The Pain of the Past [4]

People's faces are always dry.

Not because of the abundance of food, but because of the catastrophe that will come at some point.

In this world, you never know when you're going to die.

Maybe this tribe is still alive now, and in the next second, when the aftermath of those immortals and Buddhas fighting, this tribe will disappear along with the leveled mountain range.

Safe?

There is no such thing in this world.

Even the place where children can laugh and play is as far away as a fairy tale.

"It's almost time to go. ”

After adjusting his mood and leaving the cave where he lived, Meng Xiwang's face returned to a look that was colder than the polar regions.

I took a look at the worn-out silver pocket watch, and it was seven o'clock in the morning.

This pocket watch was obtained by Meng Xiwang from an old man in the clan, and I heard that it was a product of the era of peace before the outbreak of war.

In peacetime, people were able to walk in an open space called a street without fear of risking their lives.

The sky is blue, the water is transparent, tons and tons of food can be grown in the ground, and people are able to sleep on something soft called a bed.

Meng Xiwang has never seen these things, can't imagine them, and doesn't want to think about them.

As for the old man, when he moved three years ago, he was ordered to die by Meng Xiwang.

Last night, Meng Xiwang gave an order.

[Due to the lack of cultivators in this tribe, starting today, all search operations will be carried out in one person, if you encounter an accident while exploring, please commit suicide immediately.] 】

Going out to explore and collect materials must be carried out by cultivators, and mortals cannot be the same as cultivators in terms of speed and weight-bearing capacity.

Because of the innate nutrition problems and poor acquired conditions, the cultivators in the tribe can't go up no matter how they practice, plus the tribe needs a steady stream of food, so there is no time for you to cultivate slowly.

Not to mention Jindan Pigu, there are very few in the Ning Dan period, after Lu Chong's death, Meng Xiwang is now the only one in the tribe who cultivates the truth in the Ning Dan period, as the patriarch.

In addition, a part of the cultivators must be kept in the tribe, so now that Meng Xiwang is actually the only one left who can carry out the exploration mission.

Therefore, this order is not so much an order as a declaration by Meng Xiwang to the tribe.

Of course, there is also Xiao Mao, Meng Xiwang's twin brother, because he has been called Xiao Mao since he was a child, he can't remember whether his real name is Meng Luo or Meng Luo.

"In the future, I will go out to explore, and if I do not return one night, then from the next day, you will take my place as the patriarch. ”

This is Meng Xiwang's explanation before leaving, and the taciturn Xiao Xiao did not answer, but nodded silently.

Indifference, this is perhaps the biggest similarity between our two brothers.

Looking at the scarlet sky, Meng Xiwang shook his head helplessly.

It's been four hours since I came out.

Nothing.

"No, you can't eat this. ”

In the burial ground, Meng Xiwang stretched out his hand by the blood river, scooped up a rib of an unknown creature, and looked closely, but found that it was a demon-like sternum.

It is highly rotten, and the remaining shredded flesh on it still emits a foul smell unique to the Demon Yuan.

You can't eat anything that is contaminated by the Demon Element, let alone the demon-like corpse that is the source of the pollution.

Meng Xiwang lost the ribs in disappointment.

Looking around, the desolation spread to the horizon, and at a glance it was hard to see where there might be food.

Disappointment is spreading.

Click...

At this moment, a strange voice suddenly came from behind.

"Huh?"

The first time he realized it, Meng Xiwang pulled out the rough dagger on his waist that looked like it had been gnawed by a dog and turned around, staring at the source of the sound... An eight-meter-high diamond.

Of course, the purpose of drawing a sword is not to respond to the battle, but to ensure that if you encounter something like a demon, you can kill yourself in the first place.

You must know that if you encounter demons head-on, it is the greatest luck to have the opportunity to commit suicide.

"Big brother. ”

Behind the boulder, a familiar figure emerged.

"Why did you come with me? Didn't I let you stay in the tribe?"

Seeing that it was his younger brother, Meng Xiwang breathed a sigh of relief and slowly put down the knife.

The enemy deceives himself with illusions?

Whether it's the Celestial Wing Clan, the Totem Clan, or the Divine Clan, they don't need to use this kind of roundabout way to treat weak people like us.

If you don't get in the way, you ignore it, and if you don't get in the way, you get out of the way, and in their eyes, "move away" is synonymous with "killing" for us mortals.

As for the demons... It's a question of whether the beast that can only kill will have illusions.

"I've already arranged it for the tribe, I just can't worry about you. Compared with Meng Xiwang's forced calmness, Xiao Xia's indifference was more cultivated by himself.

In his eyes, there was concern for his eldest brother, and it was not difficult to see this.

"I really can't rest assured of you, why do you want to come out and explore alone?" asked Xiao Xiao a few steps forward.

Meng Xiwang sighed, his eyes full of helplessness.

"If it's a person, I don't have to order someone else to die. Meng Xiwang said calmly.

There's nothing to hide from your brother.

Although he won't show his feelings, at least Meng Xiwang can talk to his younger brother about his thoughts.

Xiao Xiao looked at Meng Xiwang.

Although he didn't speak, he understood what the eldest brother meant.

Even if it is not voluntary, pushing one's friend to death again and again, no one can stand this kind of thing.

Maybe his eldest brother has already reached the verge of collapse, right?

"Do you want to die?"

"Maybe, at least let me use some of my spare heat for the tribe before I die?

In the face of Meng Xiwang's outrageously calm answer, Xiao Xiao was not too surprised.

The eldest brother, the patriarch of the tribe, has too much burden on his back.

In fact, the fact that his eldest brother was able to lead the tribe for eight years was enough to be called a miracle.

In this case, it is normal for the big brother to collapse whenever he wants.

"If you want to die, I will die with you, so big brother will explore in the future, and I will accompany you. ”

In the face of Xiao Xiao's words, Meng Xiwang didn't say any chicken soup like in the TV series and movies, but just replaced consent with silence.

Bang!

Just when the two brothers fell silent, suddenly, there was a violent sound in the sky that tingled their eardrums!

The earth suddenly began to shake.

"This is..."

This sudden change made Meng Xiwang and Xiao Wu a little at a loss.

The concussion was so strong that the two lost their balance in an instant and fell to the ground.

This is...

In the blood-red sky, colorful brilliance bloomed indiscriminately and presumptuously.

Someone, fighting on the sky!

This is the only thing that can be confirmed!

Oops, such a close distance...

"Xiao Xiao, go quickly!"

The earth shook violently, and everything that was erected collapsed.

Looking around, the earth was split in a brutal force, and in the abyss, magma sprayed wantonly.

Every roar made it feel like the sky was going to fall.

In the face of this kind of power, the only thing Meng Xiwang and Xiao Xiao can do is to find a hidden place to hide, hoping that the great power in the sky will not find themselves.

And the big stone that Xiao Ugly came out of is the best choice.

Although in the face of this power, this almost eight-meter-high diamond is probably no different from a paper model, right?

Hiding under the stones, Meng Xiwang tightly protected Xiao Xiao, and his unwavering heart was also restless in front of this fierce force.

As long as the slightest aftermath, or even the remnants of the spells that had been scattered, fell around here, the two brothers would die here.

I don't know how long it took.

Maybe it's five minutes, or maybe five hours.

In the face of the power that moves the heavens and the earth, people's senses of time will be confused.

The turmoil finally stopped.

When Meng Xiwang walked out of the bunker, he was really startled by the scene in front of him.

Two or three meters in front of the big rock, it stretched to the horizon, and the whole ground disappeared!

Not cracked, but gone!

The plain where I am located has suddenly turned into the top of a cliff!

Whether the earth in front of him was annihilated, or the earth under his feet was raised, there was no way to tell.

Below the cliffs, there is a vast expanse of mantle magma, with a fiery red glow and scorching heat, which makes people's cheeks ache.

Just the aftermath can make the whole sector change, and this is the gap between the weak and the strong.

As a weak person, Meng Xiwang couldn't even figure out who caused the situation in front of him, so he could only be stunned like a hillbilly who had never seen the world.

"Big brother, look!"

At this moment, Xiao Xiao, who walked out of the bunker, forgot the rules of hiding for a while, and shouted loudly.

Meng Xiwang was stunned for a moment, and looked up with a stunned little ugly gaze.

I saw that in the sky, a pink streamer was falling towards me.

It's not some spell, it's...

"That's a man, falling towards us. Xiao Xiao exclaimed again.

Rumble!!!
