Chapter 192
The strong and disgusting smell of the sea came with the wind. All I could see was dark red. The sunlight disappeared from the sky, and the dark red light came from nowhere. Even the layers of sea water splashed on the rocks were an ominous dark red.
In the boundless Dead Sea, the only place to stay is a bare and rocky island. The sound of waves echoes repeatedly, and apart from that, there is no other sound in this dead sea. The dead silence is suffocating.
Suddenly, a small figure moved on the strange island. When the view got closer, it turned out to be a small and soft child who looked only about two years old.
Jiaojiao, who was sitting on the ground, blinked blankly, as if she didn't understand how she suddenly appeared in such a place.
He looked around with his little head, and when he found that his brother was gone, he hugged the big bottle in his arms tightly, lowered his head and tried to hide himself behind the bottle. Unfortunately, although the bottle was big, it was still much smaller than that of a two-year-old child. Jiaojiao didn't notice this, but pursed his lips and hid himself behind the bottle seriously.
After a long while, as if realizing that there was no danger, Jiaojiao carefully poked her little head out from behind the bottle, looking at this extremely unfamiliar place with a blank and ignorant look.
"Gurgle~"
A strange sound rang out. Jiaojiao tilted his head and slowly looked down at his stomach. Only then did he realize that he was hungry. He reached out and poked his soft belly, and said softly, "Ah~"
Hungry Jiaojiao took two sips of the bottle.
There was nothing in the bottle. Jiaojiao put the bottle aside without licking anything. She subconsciously searched the pocket in front of her belly. When she found that there was nothing, she didn't know what to do for a moment.
Jiaojiao was hungry the whole day on the first day she stayed here.
The next day, Jiaojiao was so hungry that she put the bottle on her back, supported herself on the ground with her little hands and stuck out her butt in an attempt to stand up. She tried several times, but sat down again just halfway through.
After much difficulty, he managed to stand up shakily, but just as he tried to take a step, he swayed back and forth and sat down on the ground.
Jiaojiao, her eyes red, rubbed her bruised butt. She didn't try to stand up again, but instead used her hands to support herself and crawl forward. The stones on the ground hurt her hands. Jiaojiao sat up, puffed out her cheeks, blew on her red hands, shook her sleeves, and covered them with her sleeves before continuing to crawl forward.
After searching for a long time, they finally found some moss and grass in a crack in the rock. Jiaojiao's eyes lit up, and she grabbed the grass and moss and was about to stuff them into her mouth.
At this moment, an invisible wind swirled over, blew the thing in his hand out and threw it aside.
Jiaojiao grasped her empty little hands blankly, turned her head to look at the moss and grass on the ground beside her, let out a small "Oh", crawled over to pick it up and continued to stuff it into her mouth, but then the moss and grass in her hands were snatched away again.
Looking up at the moss and grass floating in the air, Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and patted her flat belly, then pointed at the moss and grass in the air: "Ahh~"
Bright~
The redness in the eye sockets had not yet faded. The skin around the eyes was already thin, and after it turned red, it felt as if it would break if touched. When he looked up at people, he felt an indescribable pity.
The blue whale, the main body of this isolated island, was a little at a loss. Its huge tail fin shook slightly, causing waves to surge across the entire dark red sea.
"No...I can't eat..."
A jerky and intermittent speech passed through the sea of consciousness. Although he didn't hear any sound, Jiaojiao "heard" someone talking. He looked around and didn't see anyone. He tilted his head in confusion: "Ah~"
Who is it?
"I... am a whale..."
"ah?"
whale?
'that is…'
The blue whale let out a deep cry, and was a little panicked, not knowing how to introduce itself. Its huge tail fin shook again, causing chaos on the seabed.
"It's... it's... a very big... very big... fish..."
"ah?"
fish?
The blue whale, not knowing how to explain what a fish was, became panicked again.
"Fish is... is... ah... I don't know... how to explain... what fish is."
The spiritual consciousness from the blue whale carried a hint of guilt and apology.
Jiaojiao noticed it and patted her flat belly. She looked at the moss and grass floating in the air, hesitated for a long time, and finally made a difficult decision: "Woo, ah woo ~"
Don't be sad, I'll give you some grass to eat, Jiaojiao will find another one~
After saying this, Jiaojiao continued to wrap her hands with her sleeves and crawl forward by supporting herself on the ground.
"I can't...eat."
The spiritual consciousness belonging to the blue whale entangled Jiaojiao's little feet, preventing him from moving forward.
There is nothing to eat on this island, or rather, no life can survive in this place known as the Dead Zone, and it is the only exception.
The Dead Zone is the first line of defense to isolate the extraterritorial demons. It is filled with dark red death energy day after day, so no life except it can survive here, or even it cannot be said to be alive, it should be said that it has not been worn down to death by the death energy day after day.
This child, who somehow appeared in this dead zone, was lucky enough to fall on it. If he fell somewhere else, he would have been swallowed up by the overwhelming death energy.
Jiaojiao, whose feet were being pulled, moved her feet in confusion, not understanding why she was being pulled.
Seeing that he was not crawling forward, the blue whale withdrew its spiritual sense.
"I'll go get you something to eat..."
What? The blue whale couldn't remember for a moment. It had been in this place for too long, so long that many of its memories were blurred and forgotten.
It took a long time for Blue Whale to dig out what to say from the depths of his memory.
"Be good...stay here."
Hearing the word "guaiguai", Jiaojiao, who was sitting on the ground, nodded quickly. Her dark eyes opened wide, as clear as the starlight that the blue whale had not seen for a long time: "Jiaojiao~"
Bright and cute~
"Are you... Jiaojiao?"
Jiaojiao nodded, looked around for a moment, and then remembered something: "Ah?"
Where are you?
'I'm at your...feet'
Jiaojiao blinked and cautiously reached out and poked the ground: "Ah~"
Okay~
The blue whale was stunned, and its half-petrified tail moved. It imitated Jiaojiao and stretched out its spiritual sense to poke Jiaojiao carefully.
'Hello…'
Although it tried its best to control the force, it was still a little too much for Jiaojiao. She was immediately poked and leaned back. Her center of gravity was unstable and she fell on her back with a "bang". Because she was carrying a bottle on her back, Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment and waved her hands to get up.
Jiaojiao was frightened when she fell on Lan Jing. When she came to her senses, she saw Jiaojiao struggling with her limbs waving like a turtle with its shell turned over. She didn't understand what Jiaojiao was doing and didn't dare to help. She just watched cautiously from the side.
Jiaojiao, who had finally struggled to get up, was so tired that she gasped for breath several times.
Seeing that he was fine, Blue Whale's consciousness spread out.
Yesterday, after this incredibly tiny human cub landed on its back, it immediately went out to look for food, but it couldn't find anything after searching most of the dead zone. It only found some incomprehensible elixirs in the storage devices of some monks who had long since turned to ashes. It didn't dare to give something it didn't understand to this tiny, soft cub that looked like it would die if poked, so it could only continue looking.
Jiaojiao on the island sat there obediently waiting for it to come back. It waited for a very long time, so long that Jiaojiao curled up on the ground and fell asleep with her hungry stomach, but it still didn't come back.
Ziyang Sect
Zhuiyun Peak is located at the southernmost part of Ziyang Mountain Gate. The mountain is steep, like a sharp sword edge. A blond young man is sitting cross-legged on the cliff in meditation, breathing out facing the sea of clouds.
The early morning sunlight falls on the sea of clouds, making the sea of clouds look like layers of rolling gold, giving a sense of vastness and magnificence.
When the sun had fully risen to the zenith, Hesnemen on the cliff opened his eyes, which were brighter than the sun. He exhaled his last breath, picked up the sword beside him, stood up and was about to practice the new moves he had learned yesterday, when suddenly his eyes became sharp, a silver light flashed, and in an instant the tip of the sword emitting a cold light was pointing directly at the nose of the person who came.
After seeing who was coming, Hesnemen's eyes showed a bit of confusion. He sheathed his sword, hesitated for a moment, and squatted down. His long golden hair fell to the ground like fine silk with his movements. His thick golden eyelashes drooped slightly, and his eyes fell on the child in front of him who looked only two years old. His voice softened subconsciously: "Whose child are you?"
Jiaojiao, who didn't understand, looked at the person in front of her with confused eyes.
Seeing his look, Hesnemen frowned slightly. Don’t you understand?
Just when he was thinking about how to communicate, Jiaojiao, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly moved forward twice and squeezed into his arms, and raised her little hands to grab his robe.
Jiaojiao instinctively felt that the man in front of him was his father.
He buried his head in Hesnemen's arms, raised his head and called out softly, "Dad~"
Hesnemen was stunned. He looked down at the undisguised admiration in the child's eyes and his body froze. He opened his mouth to say that he was not his father, but for some reason he couldn't say it.
Hesnemen, who had never had such contact with anyone before, reached out to lift the child away, but for some reason, as soon as he stretched out his hand, he subconsciously hugged the child in his arms.
The child's soft body fell into his arms. Hesnemen lowered his eyes to meet the eyes of the little guy in his arms, and his thick golden eyelashes covered his pupils.
Sunlight poured down from the sky, with steep mountains behind him. The wind blew his platinum robe, making it rustle. He bent down slightly and rubbed his face against the soft and tender face of the little guy in his arms with great affection. At that moment, a sigh of comfort seemed to come from the depths of his soul. He had found the most important existence in his life.
When Hesnemen came to his senses and realized what he had done, surprise appeared in his golden eyes. Before he could say anything, Jiaojiao, who was in his arms, held one of his fingers and pulled his hand to place it on her deflated belly: "Jiaojiao~"
As soon as I finished speaking, my stomach started to rumble.
Although Hesniemen is only eighteen years old, he is incredibly talented. He was accepted as the first disciple by the leader of Ziyang Sect earlier. Now he is a Jindan cultivator. He has been practicing fasting for a long time and has nothing to eat.
A person with suspicious whereabouts suddenly appeared in the sect. Logically, he should have been taken to the Discipline Hall for strict interrogation, but Hesniemen subconsciously felt that this little guy was harmless and did not want him to be discovered, so he hid Jiaojiao in his residence and turned around to fly towards the outer mountain on his sword.
Most of the outer sect disciples were still in the Qi training stage and had not yet started fasting. This was the only place in the entire Zi Yang Sect where they could find food. The Hesnie sect found some food in the outer mountains and then headed back.
When he came back, he found that the little guy was not running around, but sitting obediently on the chair waiting for him. He breathed a sigh of relief and handed the lean meat porridge in his hand to him: "Eat it."
Jiaojiao looked at him, then at the bowl, and pointed at it: "Jiaojiao?"
Bright?
Hesnemen, who understood what he meant, nodded: "Yes, yours."
Seeing him nod, Jiaojiao curved her eyebrows and reached out to hold the edge of the bowl.
Seeing this, Hesniemen loosened his hand, and the next second he saw that the little guy lost his grip on the bowl, and the bowl fell vertically from his hand.
Hesnemen reacted very quickly and stretched out his hand. The bowl landed steadily in his hand without a drop of porridge spilling out.
Jiaojiao, who didn't hold the bowl, was a little dazed. After meeting Hesniemen's gaze, she reached out and gently patted his sleeve: "Ah, my."
Don't be angry.
Hesnemen didn't understand what he was saying, but he could barely understand it, so he had no choice but to reply that he was not angry.
Seeing that he couldn't hold the bowl, Hesnemen brought the bowl to his mouth and fed him in small sips.
Jiaojiao held the edge of the bowl with his small hands, drinking it with his head down and chugging a little too fast. Seeing him like this, Hesniemen was a little worried that he would choke, and kept saying, "Drink slowly, drink slowly."
Jiaojiao is small and has a small stomach, so no matter how hungry she is, she can't drink much, not to mention that this bowl of porridge is obviously for an adult.
After drinking his fill, he raised his head and pushed the bowl beside him towards Hesnemen: "Dad."
Hesnemen touched his bulging belly and asked, "Are you full?"
Jiaojiao looked at her belly and then at him. He nodded his head as if he vaguely understood.
I’m full!
Seeing this, Hesniemen put the bowl on the table beside him. Jiaojiao quickly grabbed his robe, pointed at the porridge on the table, and said anxiously, "Dad."
Hesnemen understood what he meant and said, "I don't need to eat."
Jiaojiao, who didn't understand, tried to stretch out her hand to grab the porridge: "Daddy."
A strange yet familiar feeling of helplessness came to his mind, and finally Hesnemen took the bowl and drank most of the remaining porridge.
At night, Hesnemen, who usually meditated and never slept, lay down on the bed, which was rare. He looked at the child who was curled up in his arms, sleeping soundly with his little hands tugging at his robe, and inexplicably felt sleepy, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The next day, when Hesnemen woke up, he stared at his empty arms in shock for a long time. When he almost thought that yesterday's experience was a dream, he saw a bowl on the table next to him.
Not a dream!
Realizing this, he stood up and began to look for the child named Jiaojiao anxiously.
Dead Zone
Jiaojiao woke up on the isolated island and rubbed his eyes in confusion. After staying there for a while, he held his little head and shook it left and right in confusion. His eyes were a little dazed. It seemed that Jiaojiao had forgotten something?
Just as Jiaojiao was frowning and thinking hard, the blue whale's consciousness carefully brought back a roasted seashell.
Such caution is to prevent the seashells from being contaminated by death energy, which would make them inedible.
Jiaojiao looked at the seashell in front of him, which was almost as big as him, and took a closer look with curiosity. His stomach was rumbling loudly, and when he learned that this thing was edible, he took a big bite of the seashell meat.
Looking at Jiaojiao eating seashells, the blue whale shook its tail fin with satisfaction, and a few imperceptible traces of blood overflowed from its tail fin and merged into the Dead Sea.
Jiaojiao ate a small piece of seashell meat the size of its body and was full. When she couldn't eat any more, she poked the blue whale's back and said, "Woo."
Fish eat fish.
The blue whale said it didn't want to eat it, but seeing Jiaojiao insisted, it secretly hid the seashell and planned to give it to Jiaojiao the next time he was hungry.
There are no living things in the Dead Zone, and of course there are no edible seashells here. These seashells were picked up by the blue whale's spiritual consciousness, which passed through the Dead Zone and the various formations set up by human monks and went straight to the bottom of the sea in Xizhou.
Because of this, its spiritual consciousness suffered considerable damage. Although it was not serious, if it happened too many times, it would not be able to completely isolate the death energy from Jiaojiao.
So you have to be frugal with it, and it can survive without eating.
After hiding the seashell, the blue whale carefully touched Jiaojiao's belly, and when he found it was bulging, he let out a joyful cry.
Following this cry, the boundless dark red Dead Sea began to surge with huge waves. The waves crashed into the formation at the border, and countless densely packed Buddha swastikas mixed with lightning and golden light emerged.
As these Buddha swastikas broke apart and dissipated one by one, the monstrous deathly aura was finally stopped.
No one knew that in the middle of the Dead Sea, an indescribably huge blue whale was carefully protecting its cub on its back and swimming slowly towards a direction where the deathly aura was slightly less.
The blue whale that picked up the bright blue whale happily waved its tail fin: "Hakimi, Hakimi, I found a Hakimi today~"
