Chapter 1397 Pain and loneliness, cowardice and instinct
The moment we flew out of the door, Xiao Qi's body went limp, and then we both fell straight down from the sky.
We were flying very fast, and when we fell, I gritted my teeth, stretched out my hand and held Xiao Qi in my arms, and then there was a "bang", and I fell hard to the ground.
"Wow..."
Blood spurted out of my mouth and nose, but I ignored it and lowered my head to look at Xiao Qi in my arms.
I saw that Xiao Qi looked tired at the moment. She closed her eyes and opened them again. She looked at me with a tired look and then said, "I am so tired and want to sleep..."
After that, her smart and tired eyes slowly closed.
"Xiao Qi!" I was startled, but the next second, the voice of the dragon soul rang in my mind: "She just fell into a deep sleep, don't be nervous."
The words of the dragon soul made me feel relieved, but soon, the whole person was occupied by severe pain again.
The violent dragon blood mixed with the purple emperor's energy was still raging wildly in my body. They were toning my body and improving my physical fitness, but they were also destroying my body.
"It's so hot..." I groaned in pain, then raised my head and looked at a stream not far away.
I gritted my teeth, crawled to the stream, scooped up a handful of water and poured it over my body.
But the next second, my hand holding the water suddenly froze.
The gray moonlight shone on the clear stream, and my face was also reflected in the stream.
What kind of face was that!
It was filled with tyranny, anger, viciousness and pain at the same time, and it was so distorted that it almost didn't look like myself.
"Boy, do you think it's easy to become a dragon slayer? It's a lonely road. No one will walk with you on the road. You need to endure the pain and loneliness that ordinary people can hardly endure. The pain of the body can make you stronger, and the loneliness of the soul can make your heart stronger!" The voice of the dragon soul rang again, and as its voice rang, I felt that the dragon blood and Ziwei Emperor Qi became more violent. Obviously, it was controlling these two auras to temper my body and soul.
At this moment, my body was full of holes, and the blood had already dyed my whole body red. Even my eyes turned red, with a look of struggle flashing inside.
I gritted my teeth, raised my hand, and punched the surface of the stream with a "bang". Then I raised my head and let out a painful roar.
The next second, I heard a "bang", and I plunged into the stream.
The freezing cold water rushed towards me from all directions, and in the blink of an eye, I was completely submerged. I curled up like I was back in my mother's placenta, floating in the stream, letting the cold water wash away the blood on my body and take away the temperature from my body.
The biting coldness slowly cooled my hot body, and my gradually numb body no longer hurt as much as before.
In this silent stream, I seemed to have entered another world. There was no one here, no living creatures, as if I was the only one left in the world.
"Haha, very good. Learn to be calm in pain, and find the true meaning of life in extreme loneliness. Boy, you still have a long way to go, and there are still many things you need to find, but from today on, you will officially embark on this path of search."
Dragon Soul's voice was no longer as solemn as before, and became a little more relaxed.
But I did not respond to Dragon Soul, but closed my eyes and silently endured the pain in my body.
I could feel that the surging blood in my body was constantly overflowing from my body, and then slowly responded to my body again, and kept repeating this.
"A dragon helps a human to practice dragon-slaying skills and helps him find the path to becoming a dragon-slayer. This... is really ridiculous!"
Suddenly, the stream surged, the gray moonlight disappeared, and darkness completely enveloped the stream.
I slowly opened my eyes, and then my eyes widened.
A pair of eyes that were like bright lights in the dark night!
"Little guy, look at me!"
A dull voice rang in my mind, and I slowly raised my head and looked at the huge eyes in the stream.
"Dragon... Dragon Soul!" I widened my eyes, with a look of shock on my face.
Because at this moment, the dragon soul actually showed its true form and came to this stream.
Its huge eyes, emitting white light, stared straight at me. I swallowed my saliva with a "gulp", and then slowly looked at it.
I thought that I had been with the Dragon Soul for so long that I was no longer afraid of it.
But what I never expected was that when my eyes met the Dragon Soul's eyes, I was immediately shocked, and the whole person seemed to be frozen, and I was stunned on the spot. At
this moment, I seemed to forget to breathe, forget to think, and even forget to resist. I just stared at the Dragon Soul with my eyes wide open, with a look of shock on my face.
Those were a pair of... eyes that could capture people's hearts and shock people. Just a casual look, an unintentional gaze, was enough to destroy a person's heart.
In fact, the pressure from these eyes is too strong.
It is the natural gap between higher species and lower species, it is... being dominated on the spiritual level, it is... instinctive submission.
"Wuwuwu..."
The cold stream water suddenly poured into my mouth, I was shocked, and then I covered my throat and struggled violently in the water.
But the dragon soul was unmoved, still staring at me with those huge, majestic eyes.
"Abandon the cowardice in your heart and become a real strong man!" The voice of the dragon soul was like thunder, exploding in my mind.
"Only those who can overcome their instinctive fear are qualified to become dragon slayers, and the strongest in this world!"
The voice of the dragon soul kept exploding in my mind. I knew it was teaching me, guiding me on the path that only the strong can take.
However, my heart was not at peace at all. Fear and panic had already occupied my heart.
Under the pressure of the powerful and majestic force, I even forgot that I was in the water, and I still instinctively wanted to breathe!
It was as if, when facing the dragon, the tiny human beings instinctively wanted to bow down and rise and fall.
"Your biggest enemy in this life is yourself, kid, cheer up!"
The voice of the dragon soul still lingered in my mind, but I was like a drowning man, with eyes wide open, body stiff, slowly sinking into the dark, never-seen-the-light underwater...
