"Monster, although you destroyed this martial dao divine artifact, you self-destructed and injured more than half of your original body. How are you going to fight me?”The giant claw roared.
The hazy figure fought a few more moves before saying charmingly,"You can talk about it after you catch up to me. Don't even think about peace in the future!”Then, he turned around and left, instantly charging into the cloud lightning.
Seeing that the demon had left, the giant claw was so angry that divine fire spurted out. Suddenly, it broke off at the shoulder, but no blood spilled. It was as if there was no fracture, as if it was born like this. The giant claw quickly shrank, and in an instant, it turned into an incomparably imposing and mighty xiuzhe.
However, his face was blurry, but his long hair was flowing with demonic light, and he pointed diagonally to the sky. His figure was extremely tall, and divine light burst out. He was wearing a purple and purple robe. He glared at everyone and chased after the hazy figure.
At this moment, for some reason, everyone could suddenly see clearly. They only felt that the evil god had descended into the world, and the evil spirit was approaching. Their hearts were in extreme pain, as if they had been cut into pieces. Many people were scared to death on the spot.
Qiao Xuan's heart withered rapidly when he met Chi Mou's gaze, and it looked like he was about to die.
Qiao-fu and Qiao-mu turned pale with fright. Seeing their son's eyes empty and staring straight ahead, they panicked and shouted.
At this moment, Qiao Xuan seemed to be haunted by a nightmare. He roused his mind and struggled desperately, but he could not resist the darkness that was slowly covering him like a coffin. The light in Qiao Xuan's heart grew weaker and weaker, like a candle that was gradually extinguished.
Qiao-fu's face was ashen. Not only did he bite his lips tightly, but he also shook his head and blinked repeatedly, as if he couldn't bear to watch his son die. Qiao-mu, on the other hand, cried until she was out of breath.
Suddenly, a dim light flashed in the air, and the ancient horn pierced through the void and rushed into Qiao Xuan's forehead.
At this moment, a buzzing sound rang out in Qiao Xuan's mind again, and a white-robed figure appeared again, beginning to ripple Qiao Xuan's mind.
Qiao Xuan roared loudly and jumped up. He was covered in sweat and rubbed his forehead. There was no wound. Seeing his parents crying and laughing, he pinched himself.
Only then did Qiao Xuan come back to his senses and hurriedly say that he was fine. Father and Mother Qiao were instantly overjoyed, instantly forgetting that their home had been destroyed.
At this time, the villagers had already crawled up from the mess. However, the ground was constantly shaking, and everyone was hurriedly escaping in groups.
Qiao Xuan and the other two also hurriedly fled with the crowd. At this moment, the sky was dark and the cracks in the ground kept opening and closing. Villagers fell into the cracks frequently, and screams of shock and pain kept coming. After the cracks opened and closed, there was no longer any sound.
Everyone was so frightened that they cried and fled. Just as they were fleeing, Qiao Xuan was pushed forward.
Qiao Xuan quickly turned over and sat up. He saw a crack in the ground behind him, but his parents were nowhere to be seen. He also heard screams coming from the crack.
Qiao Xuan quickly crawled to the seam and saw his father struggling to hold the edge of the seam. He quickly grabbed his father's big hand and cried,""Father! I'll pull you up. Where's mother? Where's my mother?"
Qiao-fu's face was filled with grief. When the crack suddenly appeared, he only had time to push his son away. Seeing his wife fall, he was helpless.
Now that he was in a desperate situation, seeing his son crying and asking, Qiao-fu suppressed his sadness and shouted,"Xuan 'er, don't cry. You have to live bravely! Run forward and don't look back."
Qiao-fu saw the crack gradually collapse and quickly shouted again,"Remember father's words, father is going to accompany your mother.”He immediately pried Qiao Xuan's hands away and fell down with a whoosh.
"No, no, no!" Qiao Xuan cried out in grief. His heart was in pain. He didn't care and was about to jump into the crack.
Suddenly, a young man jumped out, pulled Qiao Xuan up, and ran south.
This Kong Wu youth was Hunter Qiao's son and Qiao Xuan's childhood friend. Qiao Xuan had called him Brother Xing Hu since he was young.
Qiao Xinghu had been hunting with his father all year round, running through the mountains and training day and night. Although he was now fourteen years old, he was as strong as an eighteen year old.
Qiao Xuan subconsciously ran, his mind in a daze, his eyes lifeless.
At this time, the crowd had already dispersed. The two ran until the sky was dark. They stopped panting and found a cave in the mountain. The two bent their knees and hid inside.
Qiao Xinghu took out a flatbread from his bosom, patted the sand on it, and tore it apart nimbly. He stuffed half of it into Qiao Xuan's mouth, then looked outside while chewing.
Qiao Xinghu finished chewing very quickly. Under the miserable moonlight, he saw that Qiao Xuan was still sitting there with the pancake in his hand. He reached out and snatched half of the pancake, then raised it to Qiao Xuan's mouth. When he realized that Qiao Xuan was unmoved, he stuffed it into his mouth, but Qiao Xuan refused to eat a single bite.
Qiao Xinghu grabbed Qiao Xuan's arms and shook them as he cried out in a low voice,""Xuan 'zi, what are you doing? Are you scared silly? Wake up!"
Qiao Xuan looked at Brother Xinghu and silently shed tears. He said sadly,""Brother Xinghu, I want to die. My parents are gone.”
When Qiao Xinghu heard this, his nose turned sour, and tears were about to fall from his eyes. He quickly wiped them away and said in pain and determination,"Do you think you're the only one who lost a loved one? My parents, daughter-in-law, and unborn child have all left me. Don't I want to go with them?”
Qiao Xinghu swallowed his tears and said,"We're still alive. We have to think more about why we survived and how we can survive. We shouldn't seek death and let down our deceased relatives.”
Qiao Xinghu felt that Qiao Xuan's expression had loosened up a little, so he said in a low voice,""At that time, I was the only one lucky enough to escape from the crack in the ground. But when I turned around, my family was all gone. Then, I saw from afar that your mother had also fallen down. Although your father had clung onto the edge of the crack, he was also in danger. Unfortunately, before I could reach it, your father had also fallen down.”
Qiao Xuan nodded sadly and replied in a low voice,""My father wants to go down and find my mother. He wants me to live bravely and run forward without looking back.”Then, she lay on her knees in pain, biting her pants tightly and sobbing silently.
Qiao Xinghu saw Qiao Xuan crying so sorrowfully and hurriedly said in a low voice,""Xuan 'zi, listen to me! When I ran to your side, I realized that the crack under you was gradually collapsing. I pulled you up and ran south quickly. Your father let go to save you, and I took a great risk.”
Only then did Qiao Xuan understand that it wasn't that his father didn't want him anymore. He was also very grateful to Brother Xinghu and quickly said in a low voice,""Brother Xinghu, thank you!"
Qiao Xinghu waved his hand and said slowly," Xuan Zi, I don't want you to thank me. I want you to know what we've done for you, especially your parents. You have to live on for us.”
Qiao Xuan's expression became more and more determined and solemn as he said in a low voice,""I understand. I won't seek death anymore. I will live on!”
Qiao Xinghu nodded and handed over another half of the pancake.
Qiao Xuan quickly took it with both hands and said with a sob,""I'll eat, I'll eat." He chewed hard.
Qiao Xuan chewed and said in a low voice,""Brother Xinghu, thank you! I know how big your stomach is. You only ate half of the pancake, so your stomach must not be full. I'm really sorry to make you starve.”
Qiao Xinghu hurriedly said in a low voice," We're brothers. Don't be so formal. In the past, you taught me to read and write every day. I'm a blockhead, so I didn't let you worry less. Today, I'm hungry. It's nothing."”
Qiao Xuan quickly finished his meal and asked in a low voice,""Brother Xinghu, from what you said, sister-in-law should be pregnant, right? Sigh…this damned divine punishment!"
"What divine punishment? Xuan 'zi, what do you mean?”Qiao Xinghu frowned and asked anxiously.
Qiao Xuan quickly recounted his experience in the cliff cave, before cursing," Damned divine punishment."
Qiao Xinghu finally understood. He gritted his teeth and cursed,"Bullsh * t divine punishment. One day, I will destroy the gods.”Then, seeing that Qiao Xuan was exhausted, she said,""Xuan 'zi, go to sleep! I'll keep an eye on the outside."
The moment Qiao Xuan closed his eyes, he was filled with sorrow and bitterness. He could not dispel it no matter what. He opened his eyes uncomfortably and said in a low voice,""I can't sleep. Brother Xinghu, you should sleep! I'll be on night duty."
Qiao Xinghu patted Qiao Xuan and leaned against the cool stone wall. He wrapped himself in coarse clothes and closed his eyes to sleep.
Qiao Xuan raised his head to look at the faint moon and heard the mournful cries of the crows in the sky. He then looked down at the distance and saw many beasts running around with green light. He couldn't help but tighten his grip on the sharp stone that he had already picked up.
The dark night slowly turned silent, and the night sky became even more terrifying. From time to time, shrill screams and beast roars could be heard. Outside Qiao Xuan's hiding place, the wild beasts only circled around. Not only did they not pounce in, but they seemed to be patrolling.
Seeing that there was no danger, Qiao Xuan's emotions flew wildly. Sorrow came and went, and there was no end to it. Unknowingly, he leaned against the stone wall in a daze. He only felt that he was swaying into the examination hall. His brush drew a beautiful chapter, high school, traveling to the capital on horseback, embroidered balls falling in his arms, and welcoming beautiful women.
The newlyweds both knelt down in the high hall. After the ceremony, they looked up happily and saw the two elders smiling. They suddenly remembered that their parents had passed away and suddenly woke up. It was a dream. They raised their hands to wipe away the tears on their faces. Suddenly, they heard Qiao Xinghu calling out softly behind them,"Be careful, don't move!"
Qiao Xuan hurriedly tensed up and opened his eyes to look outside the corner. He saw that it was surrounded by poisonous insects and ferocious beasts. When they realized that Qiao Xuan had woken up, the insects and beasts scattered in a hubbub.
"Xuan 'zi, you're still the best. You can even sleep like this. I woke up long ago. It's really terrifying to look at. You almost scared me to death!”Qiao Xinghu was still in shock.
Qiao Xuan quickly and carefully crawled out of the corner. Qiao Xinghu was afraid that there would still be danger, so he followed closely behind.
Qiao Xuan saw that the surroundings were safe and quickly asked," Why didn't they eat us? What's going on?"”
Qiao Xinghu was also puzzled. He went into a corner to search around, but he did not find anything strange. He then came out of the corner again and carefully looked around Qiao Xuan.
Qiao Xuan first saw him squirming around but didn't find anything. Now, he was looking at himself again. He quickly said carefully,""Brother Xinghu, you have a weird taste. I don't like men.”
Qiao Xinghu saw that Qiao Xuan was spouting nonsense and hurriedly spat, saying,""You're just imagining things. I'm wondering if you're a strange person?”
"Oh?" Qiao Xuan looked puzzled.
Qiao Xinghu explained," The poisonous insects and ferocious beasts surrounded us long ago, but they didn't move or make a sound. I was afraid that you wouldn't know and would wake up screaming and moving around, attracting the attack of the insects. Who knew that when you woke up, the insects would disperse on their own. Do you understand now?”
Qiao Xuan thought for a moment. That might be what he meant. He hurriedly looked at himself but did not find anything strange. Just as he was about to answer Qiao Xinghu, he heard a buzzing sound in his mind again. He hurriedly patted his head.
"Xuan 'zi, what's wrong?" Qiao Xinghu asked worriedly.
Qiao Xuan replied in annoyance," These two days, my head has been buzzing. I don't know why."”
Qiao Xinghu made an "oh" sound and guessed,"Maybe it's a fire. It's not a big deal. Remember to drink more water.”
A "Gu Gu" sound suddenly rang out, interrupting Qiao Xinghu. The two of them looked at each other's stomachs and said in unison,"Think of a way to feed your stomach first!”
The two of them looked around carefully and saw that most of the green mountains in the past had become deep ravines. They looked as they walked. They saw pieces of flesh among the broken trees, broken bones in the weeds, and corpses that were often chewed up. It was extremely miserable and terrifying. The two of them cursed as they walked with gloomy faces.
Originally, he wanted to hunt some wild animals, but along the way, he saw pheasants pecking at corpses, rabbits chewing meat, and all the animals he met had bloodshot eyes. He was so scared that he only dared to eat mountain fruits to satisfy his hunger. Moreover, the river was filled with corpses and the streams were dyed red. He was so scared that he only wanted to chew wood leaves to quench his thirst.
