Zerg Evolution Journey

Chapter 2 Silent Farewell

Time passed before his eyes like a stream of light, and the falling snow covered the entrance of the cave. Since the beginning of winter, Xiao Chong's body began to show signs of decay. His movements began to slow down, he became indifferent to food, and his body temperature gradually dropped. .

It is very strange, although Xiao Chong looks like a bug, but he is not a cold-blooded animal, not only him, but also the little snake, although she is a snake, she is not a cold-blooded creature.

Xiao Chong's decay The little snake saw in his eyes that Xiao Chong, who had been with him for more than ten years, curled up in the depths of the cave, seemed to be asleep, and the food placed in front of him also showed signs of decay.

The little snake took away the broken food. Not long after, she brought another mouse and put it in front of Xiao Chong. However, Xiao Chong still didn't wake up.

One day passed, two days passed, one month, two months, again and again, but whether it was food or the snake's tentative awakening, the bug had no response.

There was an expression in the little snake's eyes that could only be seen by human eyes. She seemed to understand something, but she didn't seem to be.

The heavy snow has melted, and spring has come, but the little snake's partner still hasn't woken up, and his body temperature has already dissipated, just like a creature that has reached the end of its life.

The little snake didn't leave here, she still brought food for the little worm every day, the little worm would wake up, he just fell asleep, maybe that's what the little snake thought in his heart.

The clear stream has dried up, and the small saplings outside the cave have grown into towering ancient trees. Spring and autumn come and go, and the little snake is no longer the slender little snake it used to be. The cave has long been closed. She can accommodate her, but the little snake still hasn't left, she has been staying here, waiting for her childhood playmate to wake up from her sleep.

But there is no banquet in the world, the little snake is almost an adult, and something in her body is gradually awakening, as if something is calling her, the little snake knows that she must leave and find something.

But every time she walked forward for a while and turned around to look at the cave, she came back silently, but as time went by, the calling turned into torture, and even when the moon was high, it was originally just mental torture. It became a physical pain, an overwhelming pain.

In the end, the little snake left, and she buried a scale together in the cave, hoping that the little snake would understand after waking up that she has grown up and has a place to go, but she will come back, even if this It's just a trace of fantasy and obsession in Little Snake's heart, even though she already knew in her heart that Little Snake would never wake up.

The elves are singing, the melody of nature passes through the forest, and all things are listening. The sound of nature's bell brings new life and wakes up all sleeping things.

Spring is here, on a spring night where the sun and the moon are in the same sky, there are no clouds in the sky, but there are indeed blue water droplets condensing and falling. rising.

In the dark cave, the shell that had been silent for many years trembled, and the three pairs of red eyes that had lost their luster slowly regained their splendor, and the curled up body stretched out.

"I, I fell asleep?" He thought so in his heart.

There was no sunlight in the cave, but Xiao Chong could see it clearly. He found the white jade-like scale, the scale was the size of a palm, but there was no doubt that it belonged to Xiao Bai.

"She grew up, me, how long did I sleep?"

Having been together for more than ten years, the little snake's body has never changed, even after shedding its skin, its size has not increased, but the scale in front of it tells Xiao Chong in a disguised form that he has been asleep for a long, long time.

Xiao Chong pushed open the soil that covered the cave, and the light blue fluorescence in the sky reflected into his six eyes, doubts and strangeness, this was the feeling in his heart.

Immediately after waking up, Xiao Chong thought of the little snake. The scales in the cave told him that the little snake couldn't live in the cave because of its size, and she should still live nearby.

Xiao Chong began to look for the little snake, but... no, no, there was no smell of little snakes around. He found a big tree with scratches on scales and several marks that seemed to be cut by sharp knives.

Xiao Chong knew that it was scratched by the sharp horn on the head of the little snake, but there was nothing else but the traces, Xiao Chong thought in his heart, maybe the little snake just went out to find something to eat.

Waiting, waiting, one day, two days, one month passed, the hope in Xiao Chong's heart was shattered, the little snake didn't come back, he knew, he knew, since he saw the mouse skeleton in the cave, he should have known , but he didn't want to admit it.

"Xiaobai, where are you,,,?" Xiaochong's heart is very sad, lonely, he has never felt this kind of feeling, even if he lived alone for more than 20 years in his previous life, he has never felt lonely.

After a long silence, when Xiao Chong wanted to climb down the tree and return to the house where he lived with Xiao Snake, an extremely unexpected guest came.

It's human beings, five human beings who speak words that Xiao Chong can't understand.

"Are you sure there is a silver light holy dragon here?" A majestic man with a scar on his face asked.

"I'm not sure, but there is indeed a reaction here!" A man in a black cloak replied, dragging a crystal ball emitting silver light in his hand.

At this time, another petite woman frowned and said: "Silver Light Dragon, that is a mythical beast in legends, aren't we looking for death just because of the few of us?"

Another old man with a cane said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, the reaction to searching for the ball is not great, at most it is the level of a cub. If you are lucky, it may be an egg!"

The last man with a big sword on his back also said: "Whether it's an egg or a cub, as long as we catch it, we will have nothing to worry about for the rest of our lives!"

Just as they were talking, several people came to Xiao Chong and Xiao Snake's house.

"It's right here!" The person holding the crystal ball said: "Look at the entrance of the cave, it's not big, it's definitely a little guy!"

Hearing this, several people showed excited expressions on their faces, as if the huge pile of gold coins was shining brightly in front of them.

"Then what are you waiting for? Get it out!" the strong man couldn't wait to say, and then he took out the big ax on his back, trying to split the cave open.

But at this time the woman stopped him: "Wait, do you want to kill it?" After speaking, she pulled the man over.

But at this moment, the old man frowned: "I don't feel that there is a living body in it, please let me go!"

When several people heard this, they frowned slightly. The old man walked up to the cave, hooked his hand, and a white jade-like scale floated into his hand from the cave.

And in the small village on the tree, after seeing the scale being held by the old man, the tentacles on the mouthparts trembled for a while, thinking in his heart: "That's the only thing Xiaobai left behind!"

I don't know if it was a moment of brain fever, or because someone else took away the friend's property, Xiao Chong curled up, jumped up suddenly, and rushed towards the old man, aiming at the scale in his hand.

The old man has an extraordinary perception of life. He sensed the existence of the little bug early in the morning, but he didn't pay attention to a small bug at all. When the little bug flew over, although his heart rose I felt a little puzzled, I don't know why a small bug suddenly attacked me after seeing this scale, but I still shook my hand, and a fireball shot out.

The fireball hit the worm, and after the flames exploded, several tentacles on the worm's mouthparts were blown off in an instant, and its body flew out.

However, after Xiao Chong landed, he still did not give up and crawled towards the old man.

On the other hand, the old man couldn't help showing a little surprise when he saw that the little bug was not blown into pieces by the fireball as he expected, but was only slightly injured and crawled towards him.

But now, it was not the time for him to be surprised. When that scale fell into his palm, the old man's heart sank. It was very simple. This scale was huge, absolutely not, and its owner was definitely not a cub.

"This silver light holy dragon is close to adulthood, it's not suitable to stay here for long, we have to leave quickly!" the old man said in a deep voice.

When that scale appeared, the few people already knew that their wealth and honor for the rest of their lives were in vain. However, although they felt resentful, they still cared more about their own lives than money, and they responded immediately ready to leave.

At this time, Xiao Chong had already crawled near the old man, ready to bounce up again, but he was still blown away by a fireball, but his heart to regain his friend's things was extremely firm, and he continued to crawl after getting up.

"What's the matter with that bug?" The woman asked in amazement when she saw the scene in front of her.

The old man smiled lightly and said, "It seems that this scale has always belonged to this bug. If we win someone's love, it will of course be angry."

"Then... are you going to kill it?" The strong man asked with an ax in his hand.

But the old man shook his head and said: "This is the depths of the Luoyue Forest. A worm without magic power dares to live in the cave of the Silver Light Sacred Dragon and protects its scales. The Silver Light Holy Dragon has something to do with it, and it was able to catch a few fireballs from me, and it only suffered minor injuries. This is still a larvae stage, and I think this worm is definitely not an ordinary thing. If you catch it, you may be able to sell it for a good price!"

As soon as the old man finished speaking, the woman next to him took out a metal net made of wire threads from her waist, spread it out and closed it, and caught the bug.

"It's done! Let's go, if the silver light dragon comes back, we won't be able to leave." The woman said while holding the metal net and looking at the wriggling bug inside.

The others looked at each other, turned around and left without saying a word.

Along the way, Xiao Chong struggled desperately, but the metal mesh that restrained him was really tough, no matter how he struggled, even biting, it would only damage the metal mesh, so Xiao Chong had no choice but to give up.

Although he didn't know what these humans were going to do to him, it was obvious that what awaited him later was definitely not a good thing. Xiao Chong had also been a human being before, and when facing bugs... there was only one thing he could think of.
