Chapter 27 The Monster
"This sword repair is a bit stable ()"
In fact, at the moment when the two fifth-rank origin monsters died, everything was a foregone conclusion.
The resistance of the human race has become stronger, while the source monsters are constantly being killed, and the number is decreasing.
Under the ebb and flow, the Yuan Yao invasion, which had made the Qiu family feel almost suffocated, is gradually calming down.
And the root of all these changes was actually brought about by the arrival of Ji Chuan and Lu Qingshan.
…………
After half an hour.
After Taohua blasted the last third-grade source monster in Lu Qingshan's sight into pieces, it circled back, submerged into Lu Qingshan's body, and disappeared.
"It's over." Lu Qingshan glanced across the wreckage.
The continuous heavy rain in the sky finally gradually stopped at this time.
The Qiu Family suffered heavy losses in this Yuan Yao invasion.
The situation in the outermost area was the most severe, with the heaviest casualties.
The entire Fenglin Town has a total population of only 30,000 to 40,000, and it is estimated that at least nearly 10,000 people died in this battle, most of whom were mortals.
Under the wanton impact of Yuan Yao, all the buildings in Fenglin Town were destroyed, except for the Qiu family land guarded by the spirit array.
Houses collapsed and dilapidated.
The streets were cracked with gullies, and bloody water mixed with muddy water flowed through them...
Very miserable.
"Thank you to the two masters for your help, and saved our Qiu family from suffering." Qiu Changqing walked in front of Lu Qingshan and Ji Chuan, and expressed his solemn gratitude.
"Patriarch Qiu, please find a room first to accommodate Miss Qiu." Lu Qingshan waved his hand, not intending to take credit, but glanced at Ji Chuan beside him, and said to Qiu Changqing.
Ji Chuan put the little beggar down when Yuan Yao was wiped out and there was no danger.
But Qiu Shiyin, who had passed out, was still held in his arms.
There is a very interesting psychological phenomenon called compensation psychology.
Ji Chuan seemed to be caught in this psychological phenomenon at this time.
Because of his previous misunderstanding of Qiu Shiyin, he felt guilty towards Qiu Shiyin, and now he can't help but pay special attention to Qiu Shiyin as compensation for his previous mistakes.
Lu Qingshan thought secretly in his heart.
Qiu Changqing's eyelids twitched when he heard the words, and if he looked deeply at the pale Qiu Shiyin and Ji Chuan with a worried expression, he said respectfully: "I'll arrange it right away." .”
…
Qiu Shiyin slowly opened her eyes and found herself in an unfamiliar environment.
She was lying on a big soft bed.
"you're awake."
A slightly hoarse voice came.
Qiu Shiyin looked in the direction of the voice, and a familiar figure came into view.
"Ji Chuan..." For a moment, Qiu Shiyin was in a daze, and soon, her memory gradually became clear, and the scene before coma came to mind.
"Those children..." Qiu Shiyin's voice trembled slightly.
Ji Chuan naturally understood what Qiu Shiyin meant, and sighed, "When I arrived, only the child you were protecting was left, and the other children were already...so..."
Qiu Shiyin fell silent.
She closed her eyes slightly, and scenes flashed through her mind.
The wind and rain were turbulent, and the heavy rain continued. Countless ferocious monsters roared and rushed into Fenglin Town, rushing towards the children.
The children were stunned, unaware of the so-called danger at all, until those source monsters bit these unlucky children into pieces and slaughtered them recklessly.
She tried her best to stop Yuan Yao and save the children from Yuan Yao's mouth, but it was all in vain.
One child after another died in front of her like this.
The painful screams of the children before they died still echoed in her ears, lingering.
She felt tight in her chest, a little nauseous, and her breathing involuntarily became heavy.
At this moment, a warm hand covered her cold palm.
A warm spiritual power was transmitted over, turning into a stream of heat, flowing all over her body.
"Don't think too much..." She heard Ji Chuan's voice.
After a long, long time, she finally came to her senses, opened her eyes again, looked at Ji Chuan's sharp-edged face, and glanced down again, staring blankly at her palm.
Ji Chuan was holding her hand tightly.
Seeing Qiu Shiyin looking over, Ji Chuan hurriedly let go of Qiu Shiyin's catkin in a panic.
Just watching Qiu Shiyin put her hands into the quilt, for some reason, an inexplicable feeling of reluctance grew in his heart.
"In my heart, I have always regarded those children as my younger brothers." Qiu Shiyin said suddenly.
"Brother..." Ji Chuan murmured.
This was the second time he heard Qiu Shiyin mention his younger brother.
"My younger brother is also a 'toad'." Qiu Shiyin said slowly.
Ji Chuan nodded slightly. Qiu Shiyin had also mentioned this before, so he naturally remembered it.
"However, he is different from other 'toads'," Qiu Shiyin's eyes flashed memories, "Other toads just look like monsters, but they are still human in essence, but..."
Qiu Shiyin paused, and then said: "My brother, it is really a monster."
"Monster?" Ji Chuan's heart tightened suddenly.
"It's a monster," Qiu Shiyin said very calmly, as if telling someone else's story that had nothing to do with her, "When it first came out of my mother's belly, it was thin and small, but its whole body was blue and black. Its scales, its eyes are a strange yellow color, and its mouth is already full of sharp fangs."
Ji Chuan didn't know what to say.
It was the first time he had heard that a monster would be born from a human being.
"Moreover, its birth killed my mother," Qiu Shiyin continued, "It grew too big, and my mother gave birth to it with all her might, without even having time to look at it. I lost my breath."
"But it's okay, so my mother won't know that the last child I gave birth will turn out to be a monster." Qiu Shiyin smiled.
"What about...?" Ji Chuan asked in a hoarse voice.
"I originally wanted to kill it, because it was a monster," Qiu Shiyin's voice gradually became lower and weeping, "but when I was about to do it, that little monster... It suddenly opened its eyes, those yellow eyes looked at me motionless, then it moved, it stumbled and rolled around on the ground, and rolled to my feet..."
Speaking of this, Qiu Shiyin showed a bitter smile, "I was just born, and I can walk on the ground. Isn't this a monster?"
"It rolled to my feet and stretched out its claws vigorously," Qiu Shiyin's voice became more and more complicated, "It hugged one of my feet tightly and cried out happily at me .”
"Yes, I don't understand the meaning of its cry," Qiu Shiyin affirmed, "but I can feel its joy."
"I grabbed its neck and lifted it up. It didn't resist at all, and just let me play with it obediently. I wanted to pinch its neck directly at that time." Qiu Shiyin paused for a long time this time. .
Ji Chuan didn't urge her either, but waited patiently.
Finally, Qiu Shiyin continued: "At that moment, my eyes met its eyes.
I thought that the eyes of this monster must be cruel and ruthless.
However, at that time, I clearly saw human emotions similar to admiration and nostalgia in its eyes. "
"It seems to know that I am its relative, its... sister."
