I suggest you read it together with the chapter in the evening.
Among Ning Ren and his friends who sneaked out to play, in addition to Ning Ren who successfully escaped, there was also Momo, who was worthy of the title of big sister.
They both watched the play performed on the Zhongwei stage.
Momo told the story vividly to her friends. No matter whether they understood it or not, she just told them what she saw, and her friends were very supportive.
Momo finished, "Aren, what's wrong with you? You don't look happy. Is it because the elders scolded you?"
The second elder was reluctant to teach the cubs a lesson, but the eldest elder would not spoil them too much.
"I don't know, I'm just not very happy."
Ning Ren felt a little strange. Congcong and Brother Isa were obviously very nice to him, but he was angry because of that indescribable feeling.
It felt like Congcong and Brother Isa both knew what they were saying to each other, but he himself didn't understand, and they didn't tell him.
"Tell me about your unhappy things, and I'll protect you."
Xixi patted her chest and said, "I'll protect you too."
Yuanyuan: "I'm following the boss."
Ning Ren sighed and said nothing.
Zaizai also has his own worries.
He remembered something and asked, "Who has my Feifei wood?"
"Here it is," Xixi said, pulling out a small wooden stick. "Here you go."
[Miracle Salvation] The time marked above is three days away, and he needs to go to the sacrificial light column. Although there is a systematic navigation system and he doesn't have to worry about getting lost, it is obviously impossible for him to teleport there directly with his current mental strength.
Fei Fei Mu can help him, and with his own teleportation, it shouldn't take long to get there... right?
The child held the Feifei wood and fell into deep thought.
Do you want to try flying first?
This idea took root in Ning Ren's mind. He kept thinking about it all night, and then he got up early the next day, ready to give it a try secretly.
But he forgot that he had just slipped out yesterday and was now under strict surveillance. He had just taken off three meters when he was caught off guard by the clan elder who fell from the sky.
Ning Ren came down awkwardly, put his hands behind his back and pretended nothing happened, "Grandma, good morning."
The elder narrowed his eyes at his guilty look and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Ning Ren looked down at his twitching toes and said nothing.
"Hmph, little brat, you don't sleep well. What are you thinking about all day?" said the elder. "Young Master, you can't go out for the next two days. You should pack up the snacks in the stone house before tomorrow. Take whatever you want. We are leaving tomorrow night."
Ning Ren was stunned for a moment, "Leave? Where to?"
"Go to the center of the city," the elder pointed with his cane. "The monsters are coming soon. That's the safest place."
"Don't you need grandma to help you clean up, right?"
Their fate, whether dead or alive, will be revealed on that day. There is no need to prepare too much, just some food.
Ning Ren waved his hand: "No need."
He is already a grown-up boy and cannot let his grandmother work too hard.
Ning Ren watched the elder leave and sighed, "Little Bird, should I listen to the elder? I'll listen to you this time."
The eyes of the Guhuo bird above her head were getting redder and redder. She screamed and fluttered her wings: "I won't listen! I won't listen! Kill, kill, kill!"
"Oh, okay, I'll listen to grandma." The child turned around and went back to the stone house.
Guhuo Bird: “…”
Ning Ren felt regretful.
It seems that I won’t be able to see my dad today, but it doesn’t matter, there are still two days!
Time flies!
-
Two days later in the morning.
Ning Ren followed the elders of the Mi tribe and many young people in the tribe and moved to the center of the City of Chaos.
There are many streets here, but each street is wide enough to accommodate many species gathering here.
In the middle stood a piece of wood emitting a green light. There were only two cute little buds on the entire wood, and the green light extended to an unknown distance.
This place is relatively close to the old stone, so Ning Ren and his friends arrived late.
When they arrived, they discovered that the area closest to the sacred tree was filled with cubs just like them, but from other tribes.
The Beauty Snake Clan, the Red Horse Clan, and the White Feather Clan.
They are about the same size as the cubs of their Mi tribe.
These cubs and youngsters were all led by older teachers, and some of them had panic and confusion on their faces.
The clan elder took Ning Ren's hand and led him to the center of the Holy Wood defense circle.
Ning Ren looked around and felt a little embarrassed to talk to children from other tribes.
Few people spoke during the Holy Wood Defense. Among the tens of thousands of people, only low voices of instructions were heard, which seemed solemn and tense.
Ning Ren's voice couldn't help but become softer. He asked, "Grandma, what are these little wooden signs on you and Second Grandpa?"
Not only the chief and second elders, but also Teacher Jeremy and other teachers had these small green wooden plaques on them. They glowed and were engraved with patterns that Ning Ren could not understand.
The patriarch touched his head, smiled, and said nothing.
"Maybe, we'll know soon..."
Ning Ren looked up at the sky.
Time is approaching noon.
The crack in the sky actually shrank, becoming smaller and smaller until it was barely a thread. Even the terrifying sense of oppression that the crack had brought to the City of Chaos was gradually disappearing.
Is the crack in the sky going to disappear?
Ning Ren was puzzled.
Where is the monster?
He wanted to ask, but the expressions of the adults around him were very solemn, so he swallowed his question silently and stood there quietly.
The time balance reached exactly twelve o'clock.
The crack in the sky suddenly opened rapidly, ten or a hundred times faster than the first time. In almost the blink of an eye, the entire sky seemed to be split in half.
A giant eye that was much larger than the entire Chaos City was revealed, and countless eyeball clones in the giant eye burst out like a torrential rain!
Countless dense evil spirits rolled out of the scarlet and black cracks. The power of the evil spirits outside the City of Chaos suddenly surged and began to attack frantically.
It was as if countless meteors were falling from the sky, and in an instant they landed on the barrier of the City of Chaos!
Tianxiao possesses wisdom. It seems to have realized that the only threat to it in the entire Northern Territory lies in the City of Chaos. So the moment it descended completely, it mobilized most of its forces, trying to destroy the barrier here in an instant!
The light above Ning Ren's head suddenly disappeared.
Then there was a loud crash.
Bang bang bang——!!
His ears were covered by his second grandfather, but he slowly opened his eyes.
It seemed as if the entire world was left with only that faint green and the crimson light that filled the sky and firmly protected them. Apart from that, there was darkness.
This world-destroying scene, which was like the collapse of heaven and earth, was deeply imprinted in Ning Ren's eyes.
A deep worry and longing arose in his heart.
dad……
He wasn't afraid, he knew he could fight the monster off, but he was worried about the stinky dad who was holding up the barrier.
Ning Ren stared at the crimson light that was almost swallowed up without blinking, and his little fist slowly clenched.
One second, two seconds, three seconds... a whole minute passed.
Not only did the crimson light not disappear, but it became more and more dazzling and glaring under the ever-increasing impact, like firewood burning to the extreme.
Dad is so handsome.
Ning Ren seemed to see Asulin's figure becoming very big in a trance.
The huge shadow of my father carried the barrier on his shoulders, then looked down at himself who was protected by my second grandfather.
He subconsciously reached out to grab it, but found nothing.
Only to find out that it was just an illusion.
After a long time, the continuous attacks finally slowed down.
A faint and indifferent voice came from the sky, "...In five minutes, the defensive power of the sacrificial light pillar will disappear, leaving only the ability to block pollution. If there are not enough places, please make a decision within the Holy Wood Defense."
It's Dad's voice.
Ning Ren heard it immediately.
That’s why Dad’s voice is a little weak compared to usual.
The attack from the sky continued, and above the sacred tree appeared a light blue number made of warp and weft: 22087/50000
This was calculated by Chief Baiyu based on the power of the Sky Crack that just descended. Taking into account the city's guards and the troops around the Holy Tree, this is the maximum number of tribesmen that can be accommodated.
It is more than half of the 50,000 that was the best case scenario.
In other words, all the races within the coverage of the holy tree must voluntarily send out more than 27,000 people within five minutes.
There was even more silence within the Holy Tree.
Ning Ren understood. He tugged at the second elder's sleeve and said, "Second Grandfather, it's safe inside the Holy Wood, but it's not safe outside, right?"
The second elder nodded.
Five minutes is not too slow.
"Who wants to go out?"
"I don't know, no one came forward first..."
"In this situation, whoever comes forward first wants to leave more people in their own tribe."
The secondary screening is a two-pronged preparation.
There are 20,000 tribesmen without small wooden signs. Ninety percent of these tribesmen without small wooden signs are cubs and young, strong and powerful juniors.
The rest of the older ones, including many elderly people, all have wooden signs.
The small wooden sign has only one function.
That is, after crushing them, the Holy Wood will instantly move them out of the range of the Holy Wood's protection.
Soon, many tribesmen who had small wooden signs were almost driven crazy by the feeling of being pressed down like a mountain.
The elders of the Mi tribe took action. They gathered the cubs together. Ning Ren was a little overwhelmed and was gently pushed into the cub class with a group of his familiar friends by the elder.
"Grandma..."
The grandmother smiled dotingly and slowly brushed the child's hand away: "Be good, your second grandfather and I still have things to do."
The old lady, who was once full of vigor and vitality, walked out slowly, holding her husband's hand tightly. "Everyone."
The sound was not loud, but by expanding it with mental power, all the tribesmen in the Holy Tree could hear it.
"I am the great elder of the Mi Clan in the City of Chaos."
The eldest elder held the hand of the second elder, and the two old men smiled at each other tacitly.
"I wonder if there are any other tribesmen who have heard our story. We were once like the left and right inspectors of Chaos City today, guarding Chaos City from foreign invasion."
Elders from other ethnic groups pondered for a long time and suddenly realized.
“So it’s them…”
"who are they?"
Those in the tribe who knew the situation whispered, "They are a loving couple. They are... now the chief elders of the Mi tribe. The chief elders are responsible for attacking, while the second elders provide support. They once assisted the previous leader of the Chaos City and made great contributions."
"I didn't expect her temper to change so much now. She used to get angry at the slightest thing..."
The elder said, "It doesn't matter if you don't remember. I'm standing up today and don't want to say anything more. Whether you choose to crush it or not is entirely up to you."
"I'm going to start today. The boring days have made my tail rusty and unbearable. Today I want to take it to see blood."
The elder didn't say anything profound. She simply stood up and smiled at the cubs and younger generations. "Little ones, don't blame me for being a little strict with you sometimes... Study hard and grow up quickly. I'm off to help the leader fight monsters."
She poked the second elder with her cane and said, "Say something, and let's go together."
The second elder felt embarrassed about holding his wife's hand in public. He coughed a few times and said loudly, "Children, Second Grandpa loves you!"
“Wow!”
Xixi blew out a bubble of snot and burst into tears.
"Don't go! Don't go! It's dangerous outside!"
As soon as he cried, many younger children couldn't help crying, because it was usually their second grandfather who took them out to play, gave them whatever they wanted, and spoiled these children to the sky.
His departure was like throwing a bullet into the pile of cubs.
Ning Ren also cried and wiped away tears.
His heart felt soft, warm, and full, as if some emotion was about to overflow.
The boss of the second tribe said with a stern face: "Don't move~"
He held the hand of the elder of the clan, and before leaving, he felt something was missing, so he murmured:
"I laugh. This world is full of desolation. There is no such thing as destiny. Only when I return home will I realize that freedom is within me..."
"Lance in hand, crown unfallen, now, in red armor, I fight—"
"Fight~that monster!"
"There are so many virtuous people in this world, why don't you count me as one of them~"
This is the lyrics of the song "I See Virtuous People in the World". The tribesmen living under the sacred tree have been influenced by it to some extent and can hum a few lines.
There are many virtuous people in this world, why am I not one of them?
The first and second elders of the clan both crushed the small wooden signs in their hands and left the area of protection.
The place became even more silent after the lyrics were sung. However, after the eldest and second elders of the clan left, several members of the Baiyu clan also came out.
They shook their heads and said, "It's a pity that this opera and lyrics were passed down from our White Feather Clan, but we haven't understood it as deeply as the members of other clans. We have brought shame to the Great Wizard and the White Feather Clan."
"Since there are virtuous people in the world, count me among them!"
"Count me in too!"
"And me!"
"Add me!"
The elder of the Beauty Snake Clan sighed.
"If Queen Yulila were here, she would probably scold us for our cowardly behavior," she said, turning back. "You guys keep an eye on the young ones in the tribe. I'm going too."
"We'll follow you."
"Let's go together. We need to go halfway. If we're sisters, don't push each other around!"
"? Now is not the time to grab snacks from me?"
"Hahahahaha go!"
The elder of the Red Horse tribe also said:
"Our clan leader, at such a young age, has the courage to face the crack in the sky. What we face in the sacrificial light pillar is the real terror!"
"If we don't even have the courage to leave the protective circle and face the evil spirits in the city, how can we claim to be a race that never touches and never bends!"
"This is not the style of my Red Horse tribe!"
"How can we be cowards under the watchful eyes of the Holy Wood?!"
"Fuck it!"
"Hahahaha, my Red Horse tribe is full of reckless men. The main thing is that they are not afraid of death. Just charge and it's over!"
Men and women, young and old, they were all talking.
"Let these brats see the grace of their elders, so we can appear in textbooks in the future, hahahaha..."
"Fuck you, what elder? You still have two years until you become an adult, okay? It's really hilarious."
"You? You're talking about me? You're two days younger than me, okay? If you keep saying that, I'll beat you up!"
The lyrics seemed to have ignited something, making the spirits of all the tribesmen suddenly high.
One after another, they linked arms, hummed the lyrics, and left the protective circle without looking back, not feeling awkward at all.
Emotions are contagious, whether they are high or low.
At this moment, they have forgotten about life and death.
There is nothing to regret. Besides, they are going to be heroes, not to be cowards. Of course they want to leave in a handsome way. The more handsome their backs are, the better!
Teacher Jeremy was stunned for a moment, clenched the wooden sign in his palm, and was about to crush it when Teacher Tu Yue, who was teaching the children fighting, stopped him.
Teacher Jeremy: "You..."
"Hey, seriously speaking, you're my teacher too," Tu Yue blinked. "How could a student who has grown up and learned some skills ask the teacher to leave?"
"Besides, teacher, it's useless for you to go out. You can't read continental history to evil spirits when fighting them."
Teacher Jeremy blushed, "You little girl!"
Tu Yue said seriously, "The children like you very much. You must stay and continue to teach. There will be teachers who can teach fighting, but there is only one person like you who can make the boring history of the continent interesting."
"You can't go, I'll go!"
After she finished speaking, she didn't even give Teacher Jeremy a chance to respond. She just smiled, crushed the wooden sign and disappeared.
It seems like a beginning.
One after another, the students who had been taught by Teacher Jeremy and had grown up saluted their teacher and said, "Teacher, you must stay."
Teacher Jeremy: "Don't! You, you guys..."
This meticulous, strict yet gentle teacher has gray hair on his temples. He always pays attention to dressing neatly and following rules and etiquette.
But I can't care about that at the moment.
He extended his hands, trying to hold back these departing young people one by one. His eyes gradually turned red, and his back became hunched. "The students I teach..."
"My children..."
He taught his students very well.
But Teacher Jeremy now desperately hopes that they are still those little brats who can only hide behind him and cry, and secretly say bad things about him behind his back after being scolded by him.
This way, at least he, this useless teacher, can protect them one more time.
Ning Ren's eyes were also red. He hesitated for a moment, then reached out and held Teacher Jeremy's palm.
"Teacher, don't cry."
The children in the cub class all gathered around Teacher Jeremy.
They didn't want their teacher to leave too.
Teacher Jeremy lowered his head and gently placed his palm on Ning Ren's head. It was warm, and he felt that Teacher Jeremy's gaze was also warm.
Ning Ren closed his eyes and hugged Teacher Jeremy.
