Flower Moon

Chapter 176 Death
The young man stood among the beasts.Some of those giant beasts covered the sky and the sun, and looked like a huge mountain at a glance.Some are as powerful as rats, seemingly inconspicuous but surprisingly lethal.In the past, Tao Yue'er could only see their beast-like appearance, but today, somehow, it seems that she can see their original souls from their beastly appearance - those tall giant beasts, as if they were a broad body, A man with a big heart and a high position.Those who are as tough as a rat are like those who live in dark streets and have to take desperate measures because of hardship.There are many other types.

Tao Yue'er rubbed her eyes. Those scenes had not disappeared. If she was willing, she could see their dark hearts and original appearances through their appearances.

The whole world has changed.

The ancient wilderness of the past was littered with corpses and lifeless.But today's prehistoric world is blood red.Their souls float above the heads of each giant beast.Tao Yue'er's eyes seemed to be connected to this mysterious world and no longer excluded.

Tao Yue'er didn't understand why this happened, but she subconsciously felt that it had something to do with the tattoo on her back.

At this moment, Tao Yue'er discovered among the beasts that the young man seemed to be a little weak.

She had seen the boy fight.Every time, he is full of power, as if there is an endless stream of spiritual power filling his body, which can eliminate all threats around him.Have nothing to fear no matter where you are.

But today's teenagers are a little different.The giant beast stretched out its mountain-like claws and struck at him. Under normal circumstances, he would have been able to pierce the giant beast's palm just by standing still.But now, he ducked and barely avoided it.

The palm of the giant beast slapped the ground, causing those ferocious beasts that had no time to dodge to fly away, leaving corpses all over the ground.And the boy wasn't much better.Although he escaped the attack of the giant beast, he did not escape the sneak attack of the beast as powerful as a rat.The rat-like beast bared its teeth, rushed over and bit off the young man's ear.

Blood spilled.

The monsters seemed to get even more excited when they smelled the boy's blood.Tao Yue'er could clearly see that although the boy had been bleeding and injured in the past, he would never do so easily and quickly.

Thousands of giant beasts roared and roared, celebrating their success and summoning more monsters to come - they were sending a message to the entire ancient world: "The young man has insufficient spiritual power and is about to perish."

Yes, Tao Yue'er was certain that this was what they were roaring one after another.

She was surprised that she understood.

But after understanding it, what followed was a deep entanglement.On the one hand, she felt that the boy bullied her and it would be great if he died in battle.But somehow, another, deeper feeling surged up from the bottom of my heart, a deep sympathy.

The young man was alone, covered with injuries, standing among the beasts, with his back straight and without a trace of fear, as if all the monsters in the world were trampled under his feet, which was not enough to support him.But there was a kind of sadness that no one else could sympathize with - there was no one around the boy.He has no past, no future, no friends, no cares. All he has is stationed in this place repeatedly day after day, guarding the tranquility of the hillside.Leave the statue of the goddess on the hillside undisturbed.

But today, he seemed to be unable to stand.

The young man was shaky, waving his hands constantly to kill the monsters sneaking around him.But it was obvious that his strength was getting weaker and weaker, and the light in his eyes was getting fainter and fainter.

He was about to die of exhaustion.

More and more giant beasts died under the young man's palm, but more giant beasts came from afar. The young man's movements became slower and slower. Finally, facing more than a dozen monsters attacking at the same time, he all attacked at the same time. When the enemy was retreating, a monster the size of a hummingbird came galloping across the sky in the distance, with a sharp neighing sound that caused all the giant beasts present to cover their ears.

And those who couldn't cover them all exploded and died at the same moment.The hummingbird penetrated the boy's body at an extremely fast speed when he killed the last monster around him.

"No!" Tao Yue'er screamed, barely having time to think, before running downhill.

Although she hated what the boy did to her last night, although she hated his coldness and alienation, she wished the boy would die.But at this moment, she found that she still couldn't turn a blind eye.

Tao Yue'er stepped on the blood and passed through the beasts, and rushed to the young man's side before more monsters arrived.At this moment, the hummingbird that penetrated the young man's body also attacked again.This time, its target is the boy's eyes.

Without thinking, Tao Yue'er stood in front of the young man, held up his bracelet, and was about to confront him.But who knew that the hummingbird passed through Tao Yue'er's body like a soul.Tao Yue'er was unscathed, but the boy behind her had his eyeballs pecked out by a hummingbird, which penetrated his head. Most of his head was missing, exposed to the air, scarlet and terrifying.

But the boy also crushed the hummingbird with his bare hands.The hummingbird turned into blood foam in his hand and disappeared together with his pupils.

Then, the young man staggered and knelt on the ground.

Tao Yue'er wanted to pick him up, but her hands couldn't touch the boy at all.The boy's body became increasingly transparent under the comparison of her hands, as if it would disappear anytime and anywhere.

"How...how could this happen..." Tao Yue'er couldn't believe it and didn't understand why the young man suddenly became so weak.So weak that even touching has become a luxury.

The young man looked at Tao Yue'er with a mocking smile.

He seemed to be laughing at Tao Yue'er's futile actions, and also seemed to be laughing at himself.

His only remaining eye gradually lost its light, and gray covered his eyeball, and he would die soon.

"Hold on! I'll find a way!" Tao Yue'er said, looking for a lot of things from the makeup box. She also found the five pieces of jewelry one by one, trying to see if she could save him.

There was a necklace that could be transferred at will, and Tao Yue'er wanted to take him back to the big tree with him, and stay away from this land of right and wrong before the new herd of beasts arrived.But the young man didn't react.

Tao Yue'er went to hold his hand, but she still couldn't hold his.No matter how many times they try, it's like they become people in two different worlds.

"Don't bother." The young man said weakly: "You and I are not from the same world. You will return to your world. You will never see me again."

The young man said goodbye calmly, but Tao Yue'er suddenly felt his breath suffocating and his heart ached.

It was as if the boy's farewell spanned thousands of mountains and rivers, thousands of years... It was something he had hidden in his heart for a long time, but had to say it out.
