Chapter 479
Two beams of light flew from the sky, like two divine rainbows, arriving in an instant, descending on Shicun.

This is a man and a woman.

The man has sword-like eyebrows and star-eyed eyes, tall and tall, with extraordinary heroism.The woman is only twenty years old, with blue hair like a waterfall, a graceful figure, and a baby in her arms.

The two were stained with blood, as if they had been killed all the way from the wilderness, and their expressions were very tired.

The arrival of the two immediately caused a sensation in Shicun.

In this small mountain village, the most powerful is the patriarch who has gone out to see the world. He can kill a unicorn elephant with one punch, but he can't fly either.

Flying, that is a god-like figure!

The people in Shicun are both nervous and excited. They are nervous because they have never seen anyone who can fly, and the man and woman in front of them are like gods descending from the earth. It is uncertain whether such a powerful person coming to Shicun is a good thing or a bad thing. .They were excited because they had never seen such a good-looking person, especially the single men in the stone village. When they looked at that beautiful woman, they hardly dared to look up, as if they were facing a fairy.

A man and a woman looked around, with a hint of disappointment flashing in their expressions. The woman glanced at the charred willow tree at the entrance of the village, but she didn't find anything, and shook her head slightly.

"Is this really the ancestral land? Why are they all ordinary people? Didn't you say that there were gods in the ancestral land?" The two whispered, unable to hide their disappointment.

"Let's ask about the situation, perhaps, we have found the wrong one!"

The man stepped forward, his voice was tired and hoarse, and said, "Excuse me, is this Stone Village?"

"Yes, we are Shicun. What are you doing here? Who are you looking for?" A child said in a fierce voice.

The two looked at each other, as if they breathed a sigh of relief, a big rock in their hearts finally fell, and a glint of hope flashed in their eyes.

"Who is in charge here?"

"Are there no practitioners here?" The man couldn't help asking.

"Cultivator? Our patriarch is that!"

"Yes, the patriarch's grandfather is very powerful!"

Several children talked in a hurry.In their eyes, the patriarch's grandfather is a big shot.The faces of the other adults were a little hot. They knew that although the patriarch was also a cultivator, it was a world of difference for the two god-like tasks in front of him.

But the man and the woman obviously didn't notice that much, their expressions flashed with excitement, and there was a trace of anticipation in their eyes, they said: "Please ask your patriarch to come out and see us, and tell us that we are from Shi Country!"

"Shi Guo, what is that place? We know Xiaoshan Town!" Several children chirped.

Naturally, the voices could not escape the ears of the two people. One man and one woman felt helpless. This place does not look like a place with masters. Could it be that the legendary ancestral land has not fallen to this level?
But no matter what, this is the last hope.

Soon, the patriarch's grandfather was found.

Ye Jun naturally knew about the arrival of the two, and he also guessed their identities.However, he was not in a hurry to come out, and only then came out to meet each other.

The eyes of a man and a woman scanned Ye Jun deeply several times, but found nothing.Although the old man in front of him has cultivated, the runes in his body are mottled and incomplete, and he is still the lowest level of cultivator.Is this the most powerful person in Stone Village?They are so disappointed.All the painstaking efforts, all the hopes, all fell into the abyss from beyond the clouds at this moment.

How could the disappointed expressions of the two escape Ye Jun's eyes?However, he didn't care, just looked at the baby in the swaddle.

The baby in the swaddle looks only a few months old, but in fact, he is already one year old. No matter how you look at it, you don't want to be a one-year-old child. He is too thin, and his skin is dry, as if his essence has been drained. Qi, only a pair of big eyes are very agile.

"What a smart child!"

Ye Jun sighed, this is definitely not a lie.He could see through the child's origin. There was a hollow in the baby's chest. Originally, there should have been a bone there, but unfortunately it was dug away.However, what has been dug away is the appearance, and the foundation is still there.

It's just that the child's body is simply not enough to support the rebirth of the Supreme Bone. Instead, a lot of energy has been taken away, making him sickly now.

"You two have come from afar, why not stay and rest for a few days!" Ye Jun said, "Shi Guo is of the same lineage as us. Although the glory of our ancestors is long gone, we will do our best to help if we can!"

Shi Ziling and Qin Yining looked at each other, finally nodded and stayed.

During this period of time, they fought one after another and were too tired.Moreover, they also want to stay to see if they can find the treasures left by their ancestors, maybe they can save Shi Hao.

In this way, Shi Ziling and Qin Yining stayed and recuperated for a few days.

In the past few days, the two have been secretly checking the things in the village, but they found nothing, and found no sign of the gods.If it wasn't for this being the ancestral land of the Stone Kingdom, they would have almost thought that they had made a mistake.

After a few days, the two of them didn't dare to delay any longer, because Xiao Shitou's condition was still deteriorating, and if it continued like this, it wouldn't last long at all.

They found Ye Jun and planned to say goodbye to Ye Jun.

"You take him like this and fight all the way, can the child bear it?"

Ye Jun's words made Shi Ziling and his wife hesitate.

Indeed, during this period of time, they were all very tired. They encountered catastrophe several times, and it was very difficult to get through the wilderness.If you really take the child to an unknown place, I am afraid that the child will die before the life-saving medicine is found.

"If you believe me, you can keep the child!!"

Ye Jun pointed to the willow tree at the entrance of the village, and said lightly: "Once upon a time, that willow tree suffered a thunder disaster, fell from the sky, and almost died. But now, it has a new life. When it breaks out of its cocoon and becomes a butterfly one day, it will only surpass the past. Go one step further!"

Shi Ziling and his wife were stunned, looking at the charred willow tree in surprise.Although they had long thought that the willow tree was a bit weird, they never thought that the willow tree had encountered a thunder disaster.Creatures that can provoke thunder calamity are at least at the level of demigods!

"Brother Ling, I... maybe there is a big medicine that can save Xiao Shitou... If there is no way there, then really..." Qin Yining couldn't help but shed tears.

"But..." Shi Ziling knew more or less about his wife's background, and also knew his wife's scruples.If we go back, I'm afraid we will never see each other again!With the domineering power of that force, their saintess is absolutely not allowed to get married, let alone marry a person from the lower realm?
"I'll accompany you!" Shi Ziling said solemnly, "No matter where the world ends, even if we die, we must die together!"

"But who will take care of the little stone?" Qin Yining cried.

Shi Ziling turned his head and said solemnly to Ye Jun: "Old patriarch, please take care of the child for us for the sake of being of the same blood of the Shi clan, and we will come back to pick up the child when we find the medicine! "

"You guys have to think about it!" Ye Jun said in a deep voice, "I can help you take care of the children, but how lost is a baby in swaddling without parents when he grows up? The other children are miserable and desolate!"

Ye Jun's words revealed Shi Hao's life.Indeed, miserable.

"When our husband and wife find the medicine, we will come back! Get rid of it!" Shi Ziling and Qin Yining bowed to Ye Jun.

"That's it!"

Ye Jun sighed softly, pointing to something, and said: "I hope, in the future, you will not forget that there is still a child waiting for you here!"

Hearing this, Shi Ziling and Qin Yining cried again.The two stroked and kissed Xiao Shitou's face, and then left reluctantly.

Ugh……

Looking at the figures of the two leaving, Ye Jun sighed quietly.What a pair of infatuated men and women, but unfortunately, they are not a pair of qualified parents.

Shi Ziling was worried that Qin Yining would never return, so he was reluctant to let go and went with him.

However, he has forgotten, how can a child have no parents?At least one person should be left behind to raise the child well.They have a big heart to put their children in foster care in a strange place.

Perhaps, in their hearts, this child has no hope of being saved.I didn't see the child die with my own eyes, so I still have something to think about in the future.

This really echoes the saying: Parents are true love, and children are just accidents.

"Poor man!"

Ye Jun teased the little stone, the child opened his small mouth and was very quiet.

It wasn't that he was obedient, but that the child didn't even have the strength to cry, and was extremely weak.

If there is no accident, under such circumstances, the child will not last long at all.All the energy in his body will be plundered by the incomplete Supreme Bone.

It is true that the Supreme Bone is a treasure, but once the Supreme Bone is dug away.The instinct of the human body will give birth to a supreme bone again.However, how much energy can a child have?It can't support the regeneration of the supreme bone at all, and the result can only be that all the energy in the body is plundered, and then dies.

This is also why, in history, there have been incidents in which the supreme bone was dug up, and everyone died.It's not because the Supreme Bone's life is at stake, but because the human body's instincts are too strong, and once a certain part is lost, it will do everything possible to regenerate it.However, if the Supreme Bone wants to regenerate, it needs a huge amount of energy, which is simply not something a child can support. It won't take long for the child to die of energy exhaustion.

In fact, if Shi Ziling and his wife hadn't been sending true energy into Xiao Shitou's body all the way, Xiao Shitou would have died long ago, and it would be impossible for him to persevere until now.

To break out of a cocoon and become a butterfly, the premise is that the silkworm has accumulated enough energy before it becomes a chrysalis, otherwise, what comes out is just a dead cocoon.

Ye Jun sighed softly, flicked his fingers, and a drop of jasper-like liquid flew out slowly and landed on the little stone.

hum!
A green halo emerged, enveloping the small stone.

The essence of the World Tree quickly repaired the damaged origin of the little stone.

However, Xiaoshi's chest was still empty, and the Supreme Bone hadn't grown out.

This is the effect of the World Tree, which can perfectly repair the damaged source without triggering it.As with willows, so with pebbles.

If he wants to condense the supreme bone again, he has to rely on himself.

The willow tree also seemed to understand Ye Jun's thoughts, the green branches brushed lightly over Xiaoshi's body, and finally fell on Xiaoshi's brows, stroking his frowning brows away.

The soft branches swayed slightly, and the green leaves trembled, as if laughing and sighing.

The fate of the two is similar, they are both breakers and then builders, looking forward to the day when they break out of their cocoons and become butterflies together.

In this regard, the little stone stayed.

Such an older child is still breastfeeding. There are a few breastfeeding women in the village, but their milk is barely enough for their own children.

However, Ye Jun didn't plan to use their milk either.

The supreme bone in Shi Hao's body is still absorbing energy continuously, ordinary milk is simply not enough to support its consumption.

On the same day, Ye Jun went into the mountain and found a 狻猊, and after drawing some of the milk, he gave the little stone a delicious meal.

More than a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Shi Hao's condition continued to improve. Although the Supreme Bone hadn't been conceived yet, his whole body was already about the same height as an ordinary child, and he started training with other children from time to time.

"Hoo... yah, I'm tired." After all, Xiao Shitou was too young, so he was so tired that he sat on the ground after a while, watching the older children exercise.But after only a while, he was distracted, stood up, swayed, and rushed to a five-color sparrow that was jumping not far away, but stumbled and even fell a few buttocks, but it didn't matter. Crying, angrily, humming and chirping, get up and chase again.

"Okay, close up!"

With a loud shout, all the children cheered, rubbed their sore hands and feet, and then dispersed in a herd, rushing to their respective homes, preparing to have breakfast.

The old people laughed and got up from the boulder.And those adults who are as strong as a tiger laughed and cursed, scolded their children, and walked quickly to their homes with bone sticks and broad swords.

The stone village is not very big, there can be more than 300 people of all ages, men, women and children. The houses are all made of huge stones, simple and natural.

In the patriarch's courtyard, a clay pot was boiling, filled with glistening milk!
"Patriarch, how about boiling milk for the little one again? He is already so big, it's time to wean him!" Someone laughed.

The other children also booed: "The little one is breastfeeding!"

Facing the teasing of the older children, Shi Hao smiled naively, his big black eyes narrowed into crescent shapes, he didn't care, he sat in front of the clay pot and scooped milk with a wooden spoon, eating it was very sweet.Not that he refused to wean.It's just that, like other people's food, even if it's meat, he'll be hungry soon after he's full. He can't keep eating all day long, because the food in the whole village won't be enough for him alone. .

So, it's better to drink milk, at least, the beast milk cooked by the village chief's grandfather can last a whole day after drinking it!

Of course he didn't know that this was no ordinary animal milk.Instead, it is made from the milk of wild beasts such as suanni milk and unicorn milk, as well as the relics of ancient times. There is even earth spirit milk in it. Otherwise, how can it feed the big stomach king Supreme Bone?
