Volume 6: Wangchuan Chapter 27 Monster
In fact, when the two fifth-grade source monsters died, everything was already a foregone conclusion.
The human race's resistance became stronger, while the source monsters were constantly being killed and their numbers were decreasing.
As one side gained strength while the other side lost strength, the source demon invasion that had originally made the Qiu family feel almost suffocated was gradually calming down.
The root cause of all these changes was actually the arrival of Ji Chuan and Lu Qingshan.
…
Half an hour later.
After Taohua blasted the last third-grade source demon in Lu Qingshan's sight into pieces, it circled back, sank into Lu Qingshan's body, and disappeared.
"It's over." Lu Qingshan's eyes swept across the wreckage.
The continuous heavy rain in the sky finally stopped at this time.
The Qiu family suffered heavy losses in this source demon invasion.
The situation in the outermost area was the most serious, with the heaviest casualties.
The total population of Fenglin Town is only about 30,000 to 40,000 people, and according to preliminary estimates, at least 10,000 people died in this battle, most of whom were mortals.
Under the wanton attack of the source monster, all the buildings in Fenglin Town, except for the Qiu family's land guarded by a spiritual formation, were destroyed.
The houses collapsed and were in ruins.
The streets were cracked into gullies, and blood mixed with mud flowed through them...
So miserable.
"Thank you both for coming to our aid and saving our Qiu family from this dire straits." Qiu Changqing walked up to Lu Qingshan and Ji Chuan and expressed his gratitude solemnly.
"Please ask the head of the Qiu family to find a room to accommodate Miss Qiu first." Lu Qingshan waved his hand without any intention of taking credit for himself. He just glanced at Ji Chuan beside him and said to Qiu Changqing.
Ji Chuan put the little beggar down when all the source monsters were wiped out and there was no danger.
But Qiu Shiyin, who was unconscious, was still held in his arms.
Lu Qingshan had once heard of a very interesting psychological effect called compensation psychology.
Ji Chuan seemed to be caught in this psychological effect at this moment.
Because of his previous misunderstanding of Qiu Shiyin, he felt guilty towards Qiu Shiyin, and now he couldn't help but pay special attention to Qiu Shiyin as compensation for his previous mistakes.
Lu Qingshan thought secretly in his heart.
Qiu Changqing's eyelids twitched when he heard this. He glanced meaningfully at Qiu Shiyin, who looked pale, and Ji Chuan, who looked a little worried, and said respectfully, "I'll arrange it right away."
…
Qiu Shiyin slowly opened her eyes and found herself in an unfamiliar environment.
She was lying on a big soft bed.
"You're awake."
A slightly hoarse voice came.
Qiu Shiyin looked in the direction of the voice and a familiar figure came into view.
"Ji Chuan..." For a moment, Qiu Shiyin was a little dazed, but soon her memory gradually became clear, and the scene before she fell into coma came to her mind.
"Those children..." Qiu Shiyin's voice trembled slightly.
Ji Chuan naturally understood what Qiu Shiyin meant and sighed, "When I arrived, the child you were protecting was the only one left. The other children were already... so..."
Qiu Shiyin was silent.
She closed her eyes slightly, and scenes flashed through her mind.
The wind and rain were blowing, and heavy rain was pouring down. Countless ferocious monsters roared and rushed into Maple Forest Town, rushing towards the children.
The children were stunned and did not notice the danger at all, until the source monsters tore these unlucky children into pieces and slaughtered them wantonly.
She tried her best to stop the source demon and save the children from its mouth, but all her efforts were in vain.
One child after another died in front of her.
The painful screams of the children before their death still echoed in her ears and could not be shaken off.
She felt a tightness in her chest and a little nauseous, and her breathing became heavy.
At this moment, a warm hand covered her cold palm.
A warm spiritual power was transmitted over and turned into a hot current, flowing through her whole body.
"Don't think too much..." She heard Ji Chuan's voice.
After a long, long time, she finally came to her senses, opened her eyes again, looked at Ji Chuan's angular face, then glanced down, staring blankly at her palm.
Ji Chuan was holding her hand tightly.
Seeing Qiu Shiyin looking at him, Ji Chuan hurriedly let go of Qiu Shiyin's soft hand.
Just watching Qiu Shiyin put her hands into the quilt, somehow, he felt an inexplicable feeling of reluctance in his heart.
"In my heart, I have always regarded those children as my younger brothers." Qiu Shiyin suddenly said.
"Brother..." Ji Chuan murmured.
This was the second time he heard Qiu Shiyin mention her younger brother.
"My younger brother is also a 'toad'." Qiu Shiyin said slowly.
Ji Chuan nodded slightly. Qiu Shiyin had mentioned this before, so he naturally still remembered it.
"But he is different from other 'toads'," Qiu Shiyin's eyes flashed with memories, "other toads just look like monsters, but they are still human in nature, but..."
Qiu Shiyin paused, then continued: "My brother, it really is a monster."
"Monster?" Ji Chuan's heart suddenly tightened.
"It's a monster," Qiu Shiyin said calmly, as if she was telling someone else's story that had nothing to do with her. "When it first came out of my mother's belly, it was skinny and small, but its body was covered with dark blue scales, and its eyes were a strange yellow. Even though it was just born, its mouth was already full of sharp fangs."
Ji Chuan didn't know what to say.
It was the first time he heard that a human could give birth to a monster.
"Besides, its birth cost my mother her life," Qiu Shiyin continued. "It grew so big that my mother risked her life to give birth to it, but she didn't even have time to look at it before it died."
"But it's good too. This way my mother won't know that she risked her life, and the child she gave birth to turned out to be a monster." Qiu Shiyin smiled.
"What happened next?" Ji Chuan asked in a hoarse voice.
"I originally wanted to kill it because it's a monster," Qiu Shiyin's voice gradually became low, as if she was crying, "but just when I was about to do it, the little monster... it suddenly opened its eyes, and its yellow eyes stared at me motionlessly, then it moved, it stumbled and rolled on the ground, and rolled to my feet..."
At this point, Qiu Shiyin revealed a bitter smile, "He was just born, but he can walk. If he's not a monster, what is he?"
"It rolled to my feet and stretched out its claws vigorously," Qiu Shiyin's voice became increasingly emotional, "it hugged one of my feet tightly and cried happily at me."
"Yes, I don't understand the meaning of its cry," Qiu Shiyin affirmed, "but I can feel its joy."
"I grabbed its neck and lifted it up. It didn't resist at all and just let me do what I wanted. I wanted to just break its neck." This time Qiu Shiyin paused for a very long time.
Ji Chuan did not rush her, but waited patiently.
Finally, Qiu Shiyin continued, "At that moment, my eyes met its eyes. I thought that the eyes of this monster must be cruel and cold. But at that time, I clearly saw human emotions similar to admiration and attachment in its eyes ."
"It seems to know that I am its relative, its...sister."
