Chapter 1: The Omen of Troubled Times

Next Chapter

Early morning, sunshine, rain and dew.

The air was better than expected, and the boy lay panting by the pyre, exhausted that he really wished that time would stop forever.

Sweat and dew soaked the clothes, the light through the forest was just right, and exhaustion was the feeling of being alive.

"Every time you swing an axe, you have to do your best, and life is not like that. ”

He turned his face sideways to smell the scent of earth and grass, and at this time he just wanted to end the day's work quickly and start resting......

However, the times will always tell you that everything is none of your business at some moment when you most want to get rid of it.

"You say you don't want to transform, but this era doesn't allow it. A woman in white stood at the top of the mountain and looked at these people in silence, just standing there, and she blended into the world like a beautiful picture.

On an ordinary morning in 1218, the first year of the Hill Kingdom, a rare tide of large beasts wiped out this little-known tribe.

The demonic beasts raging on the Colorful Continent also became more and more ferocious this year, and afterwards people said that this year was a disaster year, because in addition to the various rare disasters that occurred in this year, it was also the year of the demon god's existence.

In the evening, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and this forest in the Colorful Continent is also extremely deep, only the rustle of the wind and the whispers of some strange creatures echo here.

A hill in the dark forest, which stood tall in the faint light, was now lit up in a small cave at the foot of the mountain......

In the depths of the cavern was a circle of people surrounding a simple fire, their ragged clothes, their armor and cloth robes but barely holding their shape, and the blood stains on their clothes and the ground were particularly vivid in the flickering firelight.

The air was once quiet, suffocating and speechless. The group dragged their tired bodies that had fought the beasts during the day and were silent, and their words seemed a little redundant in the face of hunger and death.

At this time, a young voice in the team whispered that they were hungry, and there was no doubt that these people were very hungry, and they all felt the same way when they heard this voice, and they ignored the voice and turned their heads to look at a man in the prime of life.

The man smiled and shook his head, but he did not live up to the expectations in everyone's eyes, took out a white bag from his arms, and gently unsealed the rope, revealing some of the remaining food and water bottles inside. His eyes looked around the group, and finally on the two children in the group, and his tired eyes flashed softly.

He let go of his voice and said, "This food is not enough for even one of us in normal times, and each of us wants to continue to live......

But today our tribe has ushered in an unprecedented tide of beasts," he said as he paused, and his deep voice began to tremble a little. "I think our tribe won't make it tonight, and we might be able to do something about it while we're hiding in this cave, like saving these two kids. His eyes were resolute as he pointed to the two children.

Everyone's eyes followed his fingers to the two boys, one of them was slightly chubby and the other was thin and tall, and the slightly chubby one was younger.

At this moment, the two teenagers wrapped in the wide cloth robe were quite nervous, and the chubby child who had muttered about hunger before was also stunned and speechless. They didn't understand what these people's decisions meant at this time, and the tears in their eyes when they recalled this time years later were all afterthought.

"Understood, Patriarch. The tired eyes of those people sparkled with excitement, and they also forgot about the situation in front of them. "Isn't this what our role should be at this time? They picked up the blood-stained weapons on the ground, handed the two children some of the items they had left, and walked towards the exit of the cave.

The man known as the patriarch pulled the two teenagers and gave them some instructions, then touched their heads and said with a smile: "Xiao Feng, Xiao Mo, the future of the tribe depends on you, you must live." After saying that, he turned and left, leaving only the two teenagers at a loss by the fire.

They hastily finished what was perhaps the last meal in the world, extinguished the little fire, and waited restlessly at the mouth of the cave for a signal to escape. A moment later, the loud shouts and roars of killing came from the silent forest, and they knew it was time to leave.

Just like humans, those monsters were a little tired from the attack on humans during the day, and they were preparing to hunt down and slaughter this small tribe at dawn the next day......

However, the sudden appearance of the human beings slaughtered their lair, and when they were panicking, the faint white fire burst out with a roar, revealing some scaly fangs like tigers and beasts, and the blood on their bodies showed the depth of their sins.

After the dozen or so warriors and mages worked together to kill several demonic beasts, a huge lizard roared and jumped out, and with a low roar, it spat out the ice blade and pierced everyone.

A farce in the forest seems to have subsided.

"Stupid humans. ”

And the monsters didn't know that after they thought they had slaughtered another place of dark inheritance and no one could stop them, a ray of fire in those people's hearts was still bright.

"We must live!" the light in people's hearts, that is, two children, were running away from a stream in the forest......
