Ah Niu is stupid.

Even though his arm was broken by the huge force, he still didn't cry out in pain. He just raised his other fist and swung it towards the demon's face.

Then, the other hand was also broken.

“Crack.”

Ah Niu is stupid.

His abdomen was cut by the sharp dragon fingers, his intestines fell out, and blood was everywhere, but he didn't cry and was still smiling foolishly.

Then, the demons, curious about how long he could hold on, continued to destroy his body.

"Tear."

Aniu is stupid.

The demon had clearly said that if he was willing to surrender, he would live a better life than before, with unimaginable luxury in terms of food and clothing.

But he refused and was unwilling to do so.

He kept clenching his teeth.

Blood accumulated in his mouth and eventually turned into spit, which he spat onto the demon's face.

"Turns out he's just a fool who doesn't know how to adapt." The demon's expression turned cold and he no longer had any interest in the game.

Brush it away at will.

The dragon claws were filled with tremendous force, and with a roar of air, they struck the figure that had already been covered in blood.

Inexplicable.

Ah Niu felt that the world before his eyes became somewhat stagnant.

He stared with bloodshot eyes, staring at the dragon claw, which was slowly moving across the air, bringing with it a fishy breeze, and moving towards him bit by bit.

So slow...

As he thought about this, his usually stupid brain seemed to become flexible and he thought of many things at that moment.

Have you walked out of the mountains?

Did Brother Xu have a good rest?

Will there be white rice to eat in the underworld after death?

Ah Niu has a lot of problems.

Many, many.

It was as if all the thoughts that had plagued his entire life finally burst out at this moment. The eyes reflected the sun, making the cloudy eyes glow.

It hurts so much. My stomach hurts and my hands hurt too.

My whole body aches.

The honest man, whose limbs were broken and whose body was covered with his own blood, was in great pain, but he was so happy that he pulled the corners of his mouth and revealed a tragic smile.

It hurts, but I am also happy.

He did it, he really did it, even though he was stupid, he did it.

We have successfully held back this demon, giving Brother Xu and everyone else more chances to survive. It's great...

ah…

Ahhh…

The sun disappeared.

The dragon claws swung towards Ah Niu's face, but their overly large size directly blocked out the sun's rays.

All that Ah Niu could see with his eyes was darkness.

This reminded him of the night when he had talked with Xu Xi. On that night, Xu Xi once told Ah Niu that the meaning of life is to be happy.

"Brother Xu..."

"I, I'm so happy, I'm really so happy..."

Fatigue came like a tide, quickly drowning Ah Niu's consciousness.

He tried to maintain it.

His eyelids remained drooped and closed.

To this day, Ah Niu still thinks he is stupid and should be a farmer all his life.

But he was extremely excited, because he had lived happily for once, which was a happier thing than having a full meal a thousand times. He was so happy that he couldn't help wanting to sleep.

"The old man in the city has never been so happy!"

Ah Niu was even more satisfied.

Even though it hurts a lot, it’s a great joy to have won over the masters in heaven.

"So sleepy..."

After the joy, I felt even more sleepy.

Ah Niu closed his eyes completely. Strangely enough, after closing his eyes, it should have been pitch black, but Ah Niu saw a hazy light.

The light was blurry at first.

Then it turned into a familiar scene.

It was the Qingniu Town that was once rooted in the border, the Qingniu Town where Ah Niu grew up, and the Qingniu Town that was once burned into a sea of ​​fire by demons.

In the town there is Brother Xu, Mr. Wu Xiao, and other townspeople who died early.

That’s great…

Ah Niu stared at this scene in a daze.

Involuntarily, I walked towards the dim light and into Qingniu Town, with the voice of my deceased mother echoing in my ears.

"Niu, go home and have dinner."

"Okay, Mom!"

Ah Niu quickened his pace, and with a pure smile of happiness and forgetfulness, he changed from walking to running and strode into his home in Qingniu Town.

"Bang--!!!"

The loud roar was deafening.

The terrifying sound of collapse echoed throughout the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

After the dragon claw fell.

Half of the mountain was blown up by one claw.

After it was removed, there was only a dark void like an abyss, nothing was left.

Only a few remaining leaves, wrapped in bright red blood, swayed in the strong wind, dancing like butterflies, and flew into the endless blue sky.

…

"Sir, aren't you sad?"

"sad."

"Sir, aren't you angry?"

"Angry."

The sky is blue and cloudless.

Even the air is quiet.

The joy of being able to leave the Shiwan Mountains quickly turned into indescribable sadness after noticing Aniu's disappearance.

Xu Xi looked up at the sky, without moving for a long time.

He had already asked, including Wu Yingxue and other people who wanted to survive, and no one had seen Ah Niu.

No need to ask anymore...

It's clear now...

The various pieces of information that had previously been ignored due to the war situation were now connected in a closed loop.

"That idiot actually left alone and tried to stop the human immortal."

"Really, you're so stupid..."

This news is too hard to accept.

Wu Yingxue suddenly jumped up, holding a spear in her hand, her face full of anger, thinking about avenging Ah Niu.

Even if you don't see it.

But you know it just by thinking about it.

Facing such an enemy, Ah Niu had only one outcome, and that was death.

However, just as Wu Yingxue was about to step away, she saw Xu Xi standing there with no sign of movement.

So, the girl asked Xu Xi doubtfully, “Isn’t Xu Xi sad or angry at all?”

Xu Xi's response was very sad and angry.

The girl became more confused.

"Then why are you......"

"Because Niu doesn't want us to do this."

Xu Xi withdrew his gaze from the sky, turned around and walked forward, continuing to pave the way for everyone.

"That idiot did this because he wanted us to get out of the Shiwan Mountains instead of dying at the hands of demons."

"If we go back now, all our efforts will go to waste."

Maybe the voice is calm.

That simple logic and truth made the girl stunned for a moment.

Are you so rational, sir?

She followed behind Xu Xi.

I saw Xu Xi's fist was clenched tighter than before, and there was a slight tremor in the tightness.

Every step he took left heavy footprints on the ground, as if restraining something.

"Let's go. We can't let Niu's efforts go to waste."

Xu Xi supported his shaky body that was about to fall.

He forced a smile at the girl.

Sir, you...
