Chapter 2144: Both a survivor and a witness

"My condolences!"

I glanced at Chi Ruonan and saw that she was biting her lips and sobbing silently.

She sighed, then stood up and stomped her feet.

The ground cracked and a crack appeared. I pushed the body in, then stomped my feet again and buried the body.

"Thank you!" Chi Ruonan whispered.

I shook my head: "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine!" She took a deep breath: "It's just that seeing the tragic death of people who I get along with every day, my heart is a little depressed!"

I didn't say anything, because I knew that we would definitely find more bodies in the future.

Moreover, it is even possible to find the bodies of Chi Tong and Chi Lu.

"Let's go!" I said, and then I took the lead to walk forward. Chi Ruonan didn't say much, but just followed me silently.

"How do you usually deal with... the bodies of dragon slayers who died in battle?" I suddenly asked.

The body just now was burned into charcoal by the raging fire, and the body no longer had many magical powers of the dragon slayer. The whole body had become a dry corpse.

But if the dragon slayer died in battle normally, it would not be like this. Their bodies would still retain the magical powers of the dragon slayer, and still contain powerful blood and energy.

And if they were buried directly... it would be a bit of a waste.

Although my idea is somewhat immoral, this is the ancient times after all. For the continuation of the entire race, the corpse of the dragon slayer should be used more reasonably, at least, the magic contained in the corpse should be taken out.

"In the past, if a dragon slayer died in battle, the people in the village would share the flesh and blood of the dragon slayer to strengthen themselves and improve their physical fitness, because this would increase the probability of a person being eroded by dragon blood. But... since Zhang Wangu was born, there has been an unwritten rule, that is, any dragon slayer who died in battle must be buried with honor."

Chi Ruonan whispered: "Because the dragon slayer has dedicated everything to the human race during his lifetime, after death... he should also rest in peace!"

I nodded.

It seems that the way people in ancient times dealt with the bodies of dragon slayers was similar to what I expected.

However, although it is reasonable to do so, it is inhumane. The

reason why the human race is called the human race is because of human nature. Once the entire human race loses its humanity, then it seems that... there is no need to continue.

Because what is the difference between the human race and the demon race at that time?

"What kind of person is Zhang Wangu?" I suddenly became curious about this strongest dragon slayer.

Chi Ruonan said before that Zhang Wangu is the strongest dragon slayer at the peak of the fourth stage, and the fourth stage is called the God-killing Realm. Dragon slayers at this level can even compete with evil gods!

Low-level dragons are not good enough in front of such a powerful person. Only the royal family of the dragon clan or the dragon king level can compete with it!

"Even with such a person, he still can't change the status quo and pattern of the human race? It seems that a dragon slayer at the God-killing level is far from enough!" I sighed.

But the next moment, I suddenly squinted my eyes, because about a hundred meters away, a corpse appeared again.

I turned my head to look at Chi Ruonan, and saw that her expression darkened, and she obviously discovered it.

"Go and have a look!"

I walked forward quickly, and then I saw that compared with the previous corpse, this corpse looked even more miserable.

It seemed that his body was bitten off, and his body was completely broken from the thighs. His lower body even disappeared, leaving only the upper half of the body lying quietly on the ground.

"Bury it!" Chi Ruonan had calmed down, because she had roughly guessed the end of this group of people.

I nodded without saying anything more, and buried the body on the spot.

After doing all this, the two of us continued to move forward.

Along the way, we were both silent, and no one spoke a word, because at this moment, we both felt equally heavy.

"Grandpa Chi Tong!" At this time, Chi Ruonan's pupils suddenly shrank, and then he quickly ran forward.

I was shocked, and hurriedly looked up, and then I saw that there was a person sitting not far away.

That person sat there motionless, leaning against a big tree, with his back to me and Chi Ruonan.

"Still alive?" My heart shuddered, because I sensed a ray of life in that person.

Although that ray of life was very faint, like a candle in the wind, which could go out at any time, it was real, which meant that this person was still alive!

I rushed over quickly, and immediately saw that Chi Ruonan had thrown himself into the arms of this person, crying loudly.

And this person was the one I had met once before, and he was also the first dragon slayer I had seen since I came to this ancient era, Senior Chi Tong!

"Child, it's okay, don't be sad!" Chi Tong stroked Chi Ruonan's hair and said with a smile: "Everyone has to die, and I have lived long enough. In the end, I died at the hands of a dragon. It can be considered a worthy death and I have no regrets!"

"Grandpa Chi Tong!" Chi Ruonan bit her lip and said with tears on her face: "Where are you, are you all...gone?"

"They are all tired and have rested!" Chi Tong smiled, his words full of nonchalance, and then he looked up at me: "Young man, I didn't expect to see you again. Haha, are you still used to this era? Do you feel... that this era is too cruel?"

I nodded and whispered: "It is much more cruel than I thought. The situation of the human race is also worse than I thought!"

"Haha, I don't know why you came to this era, but I think, maybe this is God's will!" Chi Tong sighed: "When a nation becomes strong and then begins to forget its own history, especially when it forgets the history of its weakness, then... this nation is destined to decline. And your arrival... maybe it is God's will that is sent to witness, record, or even spread this history to awaken future generations!"

"You are both an experiencer and a witness. It seems that you were not an ordinary person in your time. You should also be carrying the burden of the human race on your shoulders!"

After hearing his words, my lips moved slightly, but in the end, I chose to remain silent and said nothing.

"I can see that you are very tired, young man, don't put too much pressure on yourself. The continuation of a race cannot be accomplished by one person alone. It requires thousands and thousands of people like you. It is unfortunate that I was born in this era, but fortunately, there are thousands and thousands of people like me in this era. We all have a dream, an expectation, and then we fight for it, work hard, and even give up everything we have."

He looked at me with a burning gaze, as if he was teaching a younger generation.

"So... you should also find more people who share the same ideals. Only in this way can you support each other and go further!"

"Even if a person can reach the end, he will still fall down halfway!"
