Originated from mountains and seas, life never ends

The next second, a flying arrow pierced the shoulder of the person in front of him. The man felt the pain and looked back in disbelief.

Mo Hanyu was also stunned for a moment, then he reacted and quickly dodged the charge from the monster behind him. Unexpectedly, the monster suddenly turned around, and its large square feet stepped into the ground. The ground immediately became like a swamp, sucking him in deeply, submerging him up to his waist.

Mo Hanyu supported himself on the ground with his hands, his body was sucked into the soil underground and he was unable to break free for a moment. He could only watch the monster with a spine as tall as a bull running towards him.

hateful……

Mo Hanyu secretly clicked his tongue in his heart, frowned, and clenched his fingers unconsciously as he grabbed a handful of grass on the ground.

Should I use attributes? But if I do, with this kind of movement, it will definitely attract a lot of people, what should I do...

Just when Mo Hanyu made up his mind, an accident happened.

Mo Hanyu didn't see clearly what happened, but the surroundings suddenly darkened for a moment, and a black light passed through the side of the monster. A sharp and terrifying aura swirled in all directions, and just passed by Mo Hanyu's ear, leaving a blood mark.

The next second, the monster fell straight to the ground, and its mountain-like body shrank into the water, becoming the size of two people in a moment.

"Mo Hanyu!" Yin Xihui's nervous voice came from behind. Mo Hanyu did not turn around, but looked straight at the man with his back to him.

The man stood in front of him, staring at the fallen monster for a while. After making sure that it would not get up again, he slowly turned his head and looked at Mo Hanyu.

"father……"

Mo Hanyu looked at the man's cold face and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"What happened?" Qin Xiao suddenly appeared beside him, looked at Mo Hanyu who was stuck in the ground, and then looked at the monster lying on the ground not far away. Before Mo Hanyu could answer, he had the answer.

"Is this what you said, that you can protect yourself?" Father Mo stared at Mo Hanyu coldly, his voice frighteningly cold.

Qin Xiao glanced at him, reached out to Mo Hanyu, and pulled him out of the ground by brute force.

"What happened? That monster suddenly went berserk." Qiu Puryue also ran over, looked at Mo's father, then at Mo Hanyu, and instinctively felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

"It's not rampage." Qin Xiao said. He saw that the demon tamer...

Qin Xiao's mind moved slightly, and he turned his head to look around.

"Are you looking for him?"

Hearing the sound, Qin Xiao turned his head and saw Yin Xihui holding the tail of the arrow and dragging a person towards him. The arrow pierced the man's shoulder blade. The arrow was red and could be detonated as long as Yin Xihui thought about it.

But when Qin Xiao looked at the man, he found that his two wrists had been twisted off, and their tendons were pierced by an arrow. His feet were limp and his trouser legs were dark red, as if his ankles had been crushed by someone.

As Yin Xihui approached, a strong smell of blood wafted over.

"He's a little difficult to deal with." Yin Xihui met Qin Xiao's gaze and smiled gently. He didn't think there was anything wrong with his handling.

Qin Xiao didn't think so either.

"He's not a contestant, right?" Qiu Puryue looked at the man whose face was distorted by pain and said hesitantly, "I remember that all contestants would wear a card on their hands."

As he spoke, he showed Qin Xiao the badge on his wrist.

It was a small piece of metal strung together with a thin string, and there was nothing on it.

"He doesn't have this thing in his hand." Yin Xihui had just checked.

Mo Hanyu felt his father's gaze, lowered his head and remained silent, thinking about something.

The monster was clearly fighting with other monsters just now, why did it suddenly rush towards him? No, this man also attacked him, and it was obvious that he was the target...

wrong.

Mo Hanyu suddenly looked up and turned to look at the place where the monster had just stood, but there was no one there.

What about the one that fights against this monster?

Mo Hanyu suddenly had a bad feeling.

Father Mo stared at the disheveled man with a complicated look in his eyes, then looked at Mo Hanyu who was looking around. He was in a bad mood. Just as he was about to say something, he was suddenly pushed by Qin Xiao, who had been silent next to him.

"Get out of the way--" Qin Xiao said, pulling Mo Hanyu over.

At the same time, a bloody mouth suddenly appeared on the ground where Mo Hanyu was, and bit towards Yin Xihui.

Yin Xihui was startled and quickly dodged, but found that the target of the person was not him, but the person lying on the ground.

The mouth that suddenly appeared swallowed the man violently, and then dived into the ground like swimming. The ground recovered instantly, and what had just appeared seemed to be just an illusion.

But no one present would think that what they just saw were hallucinations.

Yin Xi let out a dark sigh, and then he detonated the arrow with an idea.

My feet shook and I looked around, but I could not find any trace of the monster.

"Is it a monster or an attribute?" Qin Xiao frowned.

Mo Hanyu thought for a moment: "It's an attribute."

"Ah, you are..." Qiu Puryue looked at Father Mo. She had never seen this adult before.

"He is my father." Mo Hanyu stood firm and calmed himself down. Because he was a little afraid to look at Mo's father's expression, he introduced him to Qiu Puyue.

"Ah...you are Mo Hanyu's father. Hello, hello." After hearing this, Qiu Puryue hurriedly bowed to Mo's father several times. She was about to continue, but was stopped by Mo's father who held her shoulders.

"...You don't have to be like this." Father Mo glanced at Mo Hanyu, then turned to look at Qiu Puryue, "You are Mo Hanyu's friend, right? You don't have to be so restrained. He told me yesterday that he was coming here, so I came to take a look."

Qiu Puyue listened, thinking of the shocking scene just now, and felt a little guilty: "Sorry, I didn't notice it just now--"

"No." Unexpectedly, Father Mo shook his head. "This is his own decision. I have already told him about the dangers he might encounter, but he still chose to come here. So he should bear the risk. And this matter has nothing to do with you, so you don't have to blame yourself."

Qiu Puyue was stunned for a moment, not knowing what expression to make.

Father Mo glanced at Mo Hanyu and said to Qin Xiao, "I have something to do with Mo Hanyu, so I'll take him back first."

Qin Xiao looked at Mo Hanyu who was keeping his head down, then looked at Mo's father and nodded: "Okay."

When Mo Hanyu heard Qin Xiao's response, he pursed his lips even tighter and clenched his fists, but said nothing.

"But don't we need to tell the people here about what happened just now?" Yin Xihui suddenly asked.

Father Mo looked at him and explained, "No, although this place is called Luoyun, it actually belongs to the junction of three parties. And I should have told you before entering this place, right? If something happens here, you will bear the consequences yourself."

Yin Xi raised his eyebrows and said nothing more.

After Father Mo finished speaking, he looked at Qin Xiao again: "Do you still want to stay here?"

Qin Xiao nodded: "Don't worry, I will be back before dark."

Seeing this, Mo's father stopped asking questions, glanced at Mo Hanyu, and when he saw that he understood, he turned around and took him away.

"...So why is it...?" Qiu Puryue was still puzzled, "Someone wants to kill him?"

Qin Xiao's eyes darkened slightly. He did not answer her question and looked at Yin Xihui: "What do you think of the strength of the person you just pulled?"

"That's it." Yin Xihui thought about it and touched the back of his neck. "It's not very powerful."

Qin Xiao nodded, thoughtfully.

"By the way, why are you here?" Qiu Puryue asked.

Yin Xihui smiled slightly: "Because no one followed me, and I just had no interest in the game, I came to find you. Who would have thought that I would see this scene..."

Yin Xihui said this and looked at Qin Xiao.

"With you here, unexpected things like this can still happen."

"I'm not omnipotent." Qin Xiao's face was calm, but something had changed in his heart.

Indeed, if he had arrived earlier, this wouldn't have happened, and he wouldn't have had to wait until Mo Hanyu's father took action...

Qin Xiao was a little annoyed, but he didn't show any disgust on his face. He glanced at Qiu Puyue calmly and said, "When we fought just now, your lower body was unstable and you didn't use it well at all."

Qiu Puryue: ...

Sure enough, it still smells familiar.

Qiu Puryue closed her eyes and couldn't help wiping away the non-existent cold sweat.

He hasn't changed at all in these two years.

The topic changed so quickly and mercilessly.

Feeling Qin Xiao frown, Qiu Puyue quickly raised her head and nodded seriously: "I understand."

Qin Xiao stared at her with an unclear look until Qiu Purue broke out in a cold sweat. Then he turned his gaze to Yin Xihui: "Are you just going to stay here?"

"I believe it's safer to be with you than to be alone." Yin Xihui smiled slightly.

Qin Xiao: ...

Qin Xiao said nothing more, just hooked his finger and went to train with Qiu Puyue again, while Yin Xihui ran to Qiongqi and sat down to watch them.

Taotie raised his eyelids and looked at him. Seeing that he didn't say anything for a long time, he couldn't help but said, "I thought you would ask why we didn't take action."

"Ah? What?" Unexpectedly, Yin Xihui looked puzzled and glanced at him, "Not taking action?"

As soon as I asked, he reacted and said, "Oh," and smiled: "Mo Hanyu... That's normal, you have your own ideas, and we won't interfere with what you do..."

Yin Xihui smiled brightly: "Anyway, this is normal, right?"

Taotie's eyes changed, he looked at him deeply and said nothing more.

Qiongqi looked at him with amusement, as if he was joking, but also with a bit of intention to watch the show.

[You didn't expect that... Hehe. 】

Taotie glanced at him unhappily and ignored him, staring deeply at Qiu Puryue in the distance.

He had come into contact with humans before... or rather, he often played this game, first putting on a harmless face to let those humans who had heard of his reputation relax their guard. Humans were creatures that would push for more, and once their guard was lowered, they would think they had become friends with him, and they would become much more familiar with each other...

Until one day, they will forget how great he is and regard him as their friend, taking it for granted that he should do something for them, or seek his help when they encounter problems that they cannot solve.

At this time, Taotie will choose to help them, clear away the obstacles that hinder them, and win them dazzling reputation... and raise the status of those humans to a level that does not belong to them.

And then... those humans would become complacent, and gradually, they would be blinded by those gold bars, jewels, beauties and other things, and would start to boss him around and act arrogantly.

This stage can last as little as three or four years, or as long as several decades.

Those humans will eventually fall and lose themselves due to various factors. After all, in their eyes, he will not abandon them. After all, he has followed them when they had nothing and has been with them for so many years. How could he suddenly turn against them and abandon them?

But they were wrong.

What Taotie likes to watch most is the look on people’s faces when their self-righteous expressions break down.

That kind of despair, anger, powerlessness...

That look of sudden enlightenment yet helplessness.

It made him so happy.

Whenever he saw that look, Taotie would feel an inexplicable sense of satisfaction. His heart would be filled with excitement when he saw the expressions of these humans one second before they died. He felt an indescribable satisfaction and happiness. The feeling of teasing and destroying their hopes would reach its peak the moment he ate them.

Taotie narrowed his eyes and pursed the corners of his lips.

In fact, there were a few exceptions during the long time he lived.

There are always a few special ones who will not be moved by those things that were once out of reach but are now within reach. They still go their own way, not paying attention to anything, not feeling happy because of gain, nor feeling depressed because of loss, and they carry this belief throughout their lives.

But there are too few people like that.

It's so hard for people like that to live.

We must stay awake at all times and implement our own ideas...

Everyone understands the truth, but not everyone can do it.

The vast majority are vulgar people who try to hold on to the sand. They know that the more they hold on, the faster it will flow out. However, because they cherish the "sand" in their hands too much, they are reluctant to let go, and in the end they can only watch it all slip away.

Taotie's gaze shifted between Qiu Puryue and Yin Xihui from time to time.

People are changeable. He has also seen people who are high-spirited and energetic in their youth, downtrodden and displaced in middle age, and finally become slaves to obsession and desire in their old age.

There are too many people like this, so those people who are not changed by external things will be regarded as so-called "saints".

Taotie yawned, closed his eyes, and felt sleepy.

He is different from Qiongqi. Qiongqi disdains hiding, he shows his emotions, is arrogant and do whatever he wants. Taotie, on the other hand, prefers hiding, and will wait until the prey he wants appears before showing his fangs and devouring it in one fell swoop.

Qiu Purue was looking at Yu Jin beside her irritably, when suddenly she felt a chill on her back. She turned her head to look towards Yin Xihui, but saw nothing.

very strange……

Before Qiu Puyue had time to think about it, she was kicked out by Qin Xiao the next second.

"It's quite exciting." Qin Xiao suddenly clapped his hands, with a mocking look on his face, "I was distracted at such a dangerous moment. I am really looked down upon..."

Qiu Puryue: ...

She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that Qin Xiao was in a very bad mood, so she hit him a little harder.

……

"Do you feel wronged?" Father Mo glanced at Mo Hanyu who was silent beside him and said in a cold voice.

"...No." Mo Hanyu lowered his head and tightened his fingers, "It should be."

"Should you what?" Father Mo's brows did not relax because of his words, but became even more tense, "If I had come a step later, you would have died."

That wouldn't be...

Mo Hanyu still has some confidence in himself.

But he didn't say anything, just lowered his eyes and stared at the ground.
