On the way to the Great Forest of Wild Beasts, Tianlong looked at Xia Xiao and Azhu who were sitting on Tianming's back from time to time.
They looked extremely calm and serious in the dim colors of the silent world, and no one knew what they were thinking. But he agreed to let them stay in the Great Forest for a long time, not only because he was afraid of their strength, but also because he wanted to discuss the balance of the Great Wilderness with Xia Xiao. But Xia Xiao didn't seem to be interested. On this boring journey, even if he noticed that he was looking at him, he never asked what was wrong.
Xia Xiao really doesn't like to manage too many things, but because of the friendship of destiny, he naturally won't endanger the wild beasts. He and Azhu don't have that idea, but how to deal with the affairs of the world has become a difficult problem.
However, after arriving at the Great Forest, they could gather a few students from the academy to chat, and they would not be at a loss. When thinking of this, Xia Xiao and the other two were extremely excited. At present, they were the only students from the academy in the Great Wilderness, and it was great to be able to gather together now.
Tianming also missed the scene of them sitting together. Except for the time when they were in the Mountain Foothills Academy, there were few such opportunities afterwards. But he felt uneasy. He glanced at his brother and saw that he had temporarily given up discussing the matter with Xia Xiao. He asked:
"Xia Xiao, do you blame me?"
Because Tianming had transformed into his original form, Xia Xiao and Azhu were both sitting on his back, so they couldn't see his expression clearly, but Xia Xiao still smiled slightly, no longer so serious, and said in an almost comforting tone:
"I know you have tried your best, and it is a very good thing that the wild beasts do not attack humans. Don't blame yourself."
"I just didn't expect... that the academy would be completely wiped out."
"Not only the academy, but also the Zoushou Church, the Adventurer's Guild, the Tanghua Temple, and practitioners from many countries died in this battle. Ah Zhu and I are the lucky ones who survived and narrowly escaped death. And even if you come, even if all the beings in the Wild Beast Forest join this war, it will not have a better effect. On the contrary, it will only give Quedan stronger power. To be honest, if Ah Zhu and I wake up and can't even see you, we really have no one to rely on."
After Xia Xiao finished speaking, he fell into a deep silence. What he said was true, but it made Tianming feel uncomfortable. In just one day and one night, the entire wilderness became desolate. Originally, he thought this was a good thing, because in order for the beastmen to rise, humans had to become relatively weak. But he didn't expect that this change would overturn the entire academy, which made Tianming feel extremely distressed.
The academy made Tianming feel the vitality that was not in the Wild Beast Forest, and also made him understand the human touch that humans talk about. However, the worldly atmosphere soon dissipated, leaving only an empty space.
Perhaps thinking of the deserted peach forest, the three of them fell silent. No matter how much they talked, it was all speechless. In the end, the melancholy disappeared without leaving any trace in their hearts. After walking for a long time, Xia Xiao suddenly said:
"I want to see the outside world."
It is indeed faster to travel in the silent world, because there are fewer constraints and it is easier to tear the space. But it is too monotonous here, the universe is all the same color, and there is no living thing. Xia Xiao and Azhu returned to the colorful world of reality, standing on the back of the dragon to watch the world. It is colorful here, but it is limited to the increase of colors. The vitality is no longer strong enough. In addition, there are not many people in the villages on the ground.
"We have passed the Wild Beast Tail and entered Nanshang, right?"
"Yes! We are currently in the southeast corner of Nanshang. If we go up through a section of land, we will reach the big forest."
Although yesterday seemed extremely long, as if it had been a century of war, Xia Xiao was indeed not mistaken. But why were the villages here in ruins, with no sign of anyone?
When he was confused, he first ruled out the impact of the meteorite, otherwise the house would not have simply collapsed, but would have been shattered by the impact. Then why were there no living creatures?
Falling from the sky, Xia Xiao and Azhu seemed sentimental, but even if Tianlong had many opinions in his mind, he couldn't say anything. He even transformed into a human form and landed behind the three of them as a courtesy.
Bang——
When Tianlong shook his head secretly, Xia Xiao's right arm made of steel fell to the ground, smashing a hole in the stone slab. Then, a rock rose from the ground and connected with Xia Xiao's shoulder, like an arm, and replayed what happened on this land in Xia Xiao's mind again, making him silent for a long time.
Yesterday, a demonic energy came from the South China Sea, continuously, causing most of the wild beast's tail horns to shatter and be submerged by the ocean.
Then, the residents of the land southeast of Nanshang also disappeared under the wave of air, turning into strands of living spirits and being absorbed. Xia Xiao could not understand the wide range of this. But Que Dan said that Ah Zhu once controlled the lives of all living beings in the Great Wilderness. That kind of power was undoubtedly stronger than this, and it was really terrifying.
Xia Xiao's ability has gradually failed to keep up with his vision, so he is a little anxious and has more worries for the time being. Standing up, Xia Xiao saluted Tianlong and said very embarrassedly:
"King, can we go to the Great Wilderness for a tour with Tianming?"
Tianlong nodded and said:
"Please feel free to do so. You are always welcome in the great forest."
"Thank you very much."
"I'm sorry I can't stay with you for long. I have to go back to my tribe to deal with the meteorite."
Tianlong, who was supported by countless wild beasts, always thought about his own race. After Xia Xiao saluted, Tianlong felt that his time was wasted and left with a cold face. But Tianming flapped his wings and took Xia Xiao and Azhu to fly in the vast sky, keeping a distance so that they could see the scene on the ground clearly.
Ah Zhu saw Xia Xiao frowning and staring at the ground, and she couldn't help but feel a little confused. But she gradually realized that it was not that Xia Xiao's strength had weakened, but that her strength had become stronger. Ah Zhu didn't know how strong her power was. She might be able to suppress Tian Long, and she would be the undisputed peak in the Great Wilderness today.
The girl who realized it later was extremely happy, but when she passed by the small mountain village, before she could even get excited, she became depressed, her face became terribly gloomy, and it was a color she had never seen before.
Xia Xiao noticed Ah Zhu's emotions, but he didn't know what happened. But slowly, looking at the ground, he knew why she was like this, but this land had lost more than just a few people.
The destiny continued to go eastward. Starting from Xiyang City in the west of the Great Xia Dynasty, there were some residents, but not many. Later, there were many large cities, and many residents, but they were all weak in spirit, dejected, and seemed to have no hope, just waiting for death.
All the shops in the city were closed, and everyone was holding their beloved valuables in the yard to bask in the sun. If you don't lie down and relax while the sun is shining, you will really have no chance. When death is approaching, only a very few people hold their gold, silver and jewelry, and more people hold their wives and children, but they don't know that their children have grown so big that their legs hurt.
Going further east, you will reach the area of Zhenxun.
This was originally a fertile land, but now it has become extremely barren and desolate, with empty palaces and mansions. The solemn and solemn Black City has completely lost its spirit, and there is only a miserable scene. The changes here are so great that Tianming hovered in the sky for a long time, but the countless walls were reflected with black whip marks caused by the devil's energy, as if the devil had whipped this place.
Xia Xiao originally wanted to go to the Xia Mansion, but when he thought of the deserted courtyard, he lost interest. He went to Gou Longbang's house and then went west towards the big forest.
After leaving like this, Xia Xiao's already depressed mood became even more depressed, and so did Azhu. They all lost their families, which was very clear. They had such a worst-case scenario before the war, but when they really faced it, they still couldn't believe it.
Compared to Daxia, Goulongbangshi was sparsely populated due to its vast territory, and suffered too much impact from the north, resulting in more casualties and countless towns being damaged. From this point of view, whether it was the sea, the sky, or the vast land, they all suffered serious persecution. Such damage made Xia Xiao take a deep breath and almost couldn't spit it out.
When they reached the inner part of the forest, the scar not far away seemed to extend from the outer edge of the forest, and it seemed to extend from the sky to the ground. The length and vastness of the scar made Xia Xiao and Ah Zhu silent.
Tianming could see Xia Xiao and Azhu's mood, so he took them to a room they had lived in before.
"This isn't your first time here. Please help yourself if you need anything. The maid is at the door. Call her if you need anything. If there's anything inconvenient, ask her to come find me."
Tianming thought for a while before thinking of the word maid. Xia Xiao patted his shoulder and said thank you. Tianming forced a few smiles. What was the point of doing something like this at such a special time?
"I'll get the rest of the people here tomorrow morning. Now take a rest!"
Xia Xiao and Azhu nodded, lay on the warm bed, and closed their eyes without saying anything.
The two were too tired now, because they couldn't bear what had happened. Unconsciously, Xia Xiao walked into a desert in a trance. There was only golden sand. Occasionally, the wind blew, and the sand dunes disappeared, revealing the bones underneath. The bones were missing their right arm and left hand, lying peacefully in the hot sand, with the bones facing the sky, as if watching the sun constantly changing.
Sunlight can illuminate everything, but it is difficult to completely penetrate the Black Dragon Castle. The castle is shrouded in dragon power and steel lead, and it is always a little dark. In the underground hall, Tianlong asked:
"How's the turn?"
"Everywhere was desolate and they were a little tired, so they took a break."
"You know what to do, right?"
The current situation in the Great Wilderness was very complicated, so Tianming did not want to follow the wishes of the King Brother, which made Xia Xiao and Azhu feel cold. They were buried in their work and were truly homeless. However, because the beast tribe was also in a difficult situation, Tianming had no choice but to nod, but when he turned around, he hesitated.
Tianlong has been very impatient with Tianming recently, and now he is even more dissatisfied and asks:
"Any questions?"
"No, have you sent anyone to the Wall?"
"No one is alive. They are all dead."
This is also expected. Those who stay there are either ordinary people or wounded. How do they survive?
"Why……"
With a sigh, Tianming smiled helplessly. It was true that no matter how desolate the world was, it was not as desolate as the heart. It was a pity that no one would be able to walk into the blue-tiled houses of the academy again. It was also a pity that his lovely juniors and seniors did not even see the final battle and became corpses.
