"Ah Qian!"
Just as Junran was carrying Junran home, a woman's scream caught his attention.
This made him pause, and he immediately turned around and ran towards the source of the sound.
Human beings, it is human beings, it is the voice of human beings!
This time, we must act quickly; this is our only chance!
He had been lingering here for four years. Now that Junyu had been resurrected, he needed to hurry back.
His parents and younger sister must be very worried about him, and... Qin'er too!
He knew that there was no future for them, but he had wronged her, and he had to go and apologize to her in person.
Although this apology may come too late, he had to go!
"Ajiu, go quickly, don't worry about me!"
In the pitch-black jungle, a young man dressed in coarse linen clothes stood under a willow tree, his feet and body wrapped in willow leaves. He raised his hands high, and a spiked club was pressing down hard on them.
His body was covered in countless wounds, his clothes were tattered, and his breath was extremely weak; he was clearly at his last gasp.
Before him, the Earth Demon grinned, drool dripping from its mouth, its eyes flashing with a cold, bloodthirsty light.
The woman behind him was also clearly at her limit, and her injuries looked even more severe than the man's. She was lying on the ground, tears streaming down her face, trying to get up, but failing time and time again.
"I won't leave, I won't leave. If we're going to die, we'll die together!"
Finally, the woman grabbed a tree branch, struggled to her feet with all her might, and slowly walked towards the man.
"Think of our son, don't you want to see him again?"
Sensing the woman's movement behind him, the man immediately turned red in the eyes and roared through gritted teeth, the veins on his neck and forehead bulging, "Come on, at least you have to see what that brat looks like for me."
"But...but..."
Upon hearing this, the woman paused, struggling with a difficult decision. Finally, despair filled her eyes. "We've been here so long, and we still can't find a way back. If I'm the only one left, I won't survive. Ah Qian, please let me stay with you, Yu'er… Yu'er, I'm sorry, please forgive my selfishness and cowardice. With your grandfather here, you'll definitely live a good life…"
"ah!"
After hearing the woman's words, the man felt a breakthrough in his heart, and tears finally streamed down his face. He looked up and roared in despair, desperately squeezing out his last bit of strength to persevere.
"Bang..."
However, he was no match for the Earth Demon now, and finally couldn't hold on any longer and knelt down, his knees smashing deep holes in the ground.
"Hehehe..."
Seeing this, the Earth Demon laughed triumphantly, using one hand to continue controlling the spiked club to suppress the man's counterattack, while the other hand was free, its black, sharp fingertips straightened, and it plunged it fiercely towards the man's heart. "A human heart, it's been a long time since I've had one, it must be incredibly delicious!"
"No, Ah-Qian!"
Seeing this, the woman could no longer remain calm. She screamed and staggered toward the man, crying out, "No, Ah Qian, you can't die! Don't leave me alone!"
"A-Jiu, I'll go first and wait for you..."
In the end, the man turned back and smiled slightly at the woman before closing his eyes in despair.
He knew the woman wouldn't leave, so he didn't try to persuade her anymore. Indeed, if the woman died and he was left alone, he wouldn't be able to go on living either.
