[Death] Void bite

I am dead.

People are mortal, so there is nothing you can do if you die.

Compared to that, the world after death actually exists.

I moved my arm, which seemed to be numb to the point of being unconscious, but I could hear the annoying sound of my hand scratching the sand grains. I didn't have much strength yet, so I just turned my head and looked around.Where I wake up is a white desert, still in the night.Anyway, my hands are still there, so maybe the feet are still there too.

very nice.

I can't be blamed for being so indifferent to my own death, because I have forgotten how I died.

How I died, with who I was, where I was born, when I died, did I love, did I hate, did I hold anything dear, all, all...

don't remember anything.

All I have is this white desert as far as I can see.

just.

Human beings are afraid of death, so there are thousands of fantasies about the afterlife in this world.

Why is it a fantasy?

After all, the people who vividly described hell have never died, and those who have died are even less likely to return to the world, so those can only be fabricated without evidence, right?

But I vaguely feel that the afterlife world I am in now, I have heard of it somewhere before I was alive.

The rough gravel stretches into boundless sand dunes, occupying even the far horizon. The difference between there and here is only a small undulation of the sand surface, and a few bunches of pale dead branches.I grabbed the branches around me with my hands. They were as hard as a dead man's bone, but they were easily crushed by me.I looked at my "hand", which was also pale bones.

The full moon hung like a glowing void high in the untouchable, starless sky.

A black and white world.

Even I lost my color.

—I know, I must have heard of this place.

Maybe it's called Xuquan, maybe it's called Corpse Soul World, maybe it's called Hell, maybe it's called Sahara.

But I don't care much.

No matter how hard I try to recall, I must not be able to remember.

After all, I have completely forgotten about the more important things.

I stood up and stamped on the sand with monstrous bony feet.

I have nowhere to go.

However, I am hungry.

Then maybe I still have somewhere to go.

I headed in the direction I was facing when I got up.Step by step.

I don't know how long it took.

I'm actually a bit tired, but I know that even if I lie down, my empty stomach won't fill itself.

I found an unknown skull that night, and it looked strange.It's the most extraordinary thing I've seen so far, but it's still nothing to behold, it's just a bone.

I'm leaving.

It was only later that I realized that there is no day in this world, and the sun will not rise. No matter how long and almost forever, it is only in one day, and it is only in the same night.

Then, it suddenly occurred to me.

Ah, I'm a monster of bones.I shook my tail that shouldn't exist behind me.Then maybe I can eat this bone?

Click.

Does not.

In the blink of an eye, I spit on my stupidity and drop the bone in my hand.

At that moment-

At that moment, a premonition of extreme danger emerged in my heart, which made me feel so bad that I couldn't see things, couldn't hold things, I couldn't even think. Or escape.

But I just wanted to attack, but I didn't know how to do it at all.

The skull slipped from my hand.

Before it hit the ground, an irresistible force knocked me into the air. It was a huge white beast running fast, and it grabbed the unsuspecting me from behind with its sharp claws. I only had time to turn around. Seeing its exaggerated canine teeth, the next moment was the severe pain of the flesh being torn.

Pain, but no time for pain.

Before landing, the giant beast threw me aside, and I saw black blood spilling down along the trajectory of my landing, and between its lips and teeth was the blood still dripping from its bite.

Flesh, flesh, flesh, flesh—!

--I am hungry.

But I stared at that piece of flesh, just because it was my flesh and blood.

The giant beast let out a growling sound and swallowed the meat.

I guess that's what it's laughing at.

The next moment the giant beast rushed over again.

The pain in the back of my neck was numb, but I was still terrified, and I already had the fear of running away.

But somehow, I knew that if I turned and ran, I would die.

I watched it charge forward, its mouth full of asymmetrical teeth opened wide, I suppressed the fear in my heart until the last moment, gathered all my strength, and slammed into its head.

But it was useless, it dodged flexibly, my fist just grazed its forehead, and it hurt as if grazed a piece of steel.It tilted its head and bit my left arm, so painful that I could only hold on to its upper jaw in vain, although I knew that I couldn't shake it off with all my strength.

Not as easy as I imagined.

The giant beast shook its head with my left hand, as if trying to dismember me. I heard my bones creaking under its bite, but they didn't shatter after all.

Seeing that this method didn't work, the giant beast changed its mind and threw me to the ground again, probably to make me lose my ability to resist this time. I was really dizzy and didn't even know where my hands and feet were.

But I can still see, I can see its fangs, see it open its mouth to bite my head.

It wants to kill me directly.

I know this is the end.

My death, or, my last chance.

Almost rolling and crawling, I used all my courage to face the giant beast that was rushing back.

My bones crunched and crumbled, my enemies roared angrily within mere distance, and the sand was blown up by the howling wind.In addition to all these sounds, I heard a sound very clearly——

"Crack".

Unlike the flesh wounds on the back of the neck and arms, this time the pain seemed sharp as if it was about to penetrate into the bone marrow.When I came back to my senses, I realized that I had lost consciousness. As for how long, I had no idea. The full moon was still hanging far away in the sky. The giant beast that attacked me before was pierced through the brain by a sharp spike .

With a hint of understanding, I touched the top of my head.

My horn is broken.

It turns out I have horns.

It is two slightly curved and ferocious sharp horns.No, there is only one left now.

Then I remembered to look at the dead beast, and I knew it was false, and so was I.I felt dangerous before because I noticed its spiritual pressure.I don't know where I saw these names, or when I recalled them, I just know, I'm hungry.

I swallowed it up, bone and bone.

Then, not surprisingly, I calmly watched my wounds heal.

The hunger and thirst in my stomach was somewhat soothed, but it didn't disappear.

I'm still very hungry.

I guess this one was just as hungry when it attacked me, and it was supposed to fill my stomach.

But anyway, I had time to check my body a little bit before embarking on another journey to nowhere.

Intact, like new life, except for the broken horn on the head.

I'm very good.

Then I touched my chest.

There was an empty, ridiculously regular empty hole.

Ah, but have I lost my mind too?

There are horns, limbs, and a tail that shouldn't exist, all covered with hard white bones.Just, no heart.

I'm just a hungry monster of bones.

This white desert is not as desolate as I thought.

Killing is more difficult than I thought.

In fact, I should have realized something earlier. I "just died", conversely, I was just born. What could be weaker than a new life?

My second prey was a ghost bigger than me.

Or rather, the second guy trying to hunt me down.

I still have a horn to snap off, but I really don't want to lose it, and besides, this kind of last-ditch approach doesn't work every time.

So I ran away, literally, ran away.The moment I felt the Reiatsu, I fled in another direction. At first I used my hands and feet together, clumsily, but I gradually became proficient in running and even felt comfortable.I like the feeling of running, maybe I'm quite good at it, after all, the big guy behind didn't catch up with me.

But the spiritual pressure did not disappear.

The bird fell far behind me, and when I had to rest, it caught up again.

The imaginary circle didn't have anything to measure the distance, I just remember that I took three breaks and I felt like I had to fight.

So I stopped where I was and waited for the Xu to catch up.

This time the price was an arm.

I don't mind paying the price at all, as long as I can eat something to replenish the spirit seed, the arm will grow back.It just hurts, I said to myself, and it pays off.

But the harvest is zero.

The other one, which is much smaller, followed us far away. When I finally killed that big guy, I was exhausted and didn't even have the strength to stand up. I had to rest for a while before eating, that A little man rushed over and bit my prey away.

Maybe out of caution, maybe out of cowardice, it didn't try to attack me.But I'm really dying, and I don't think I have any strength to resist if it attacks me.

I originally planned to let it snatch my prey away, I originally planned to give up on myself and do nothing, but I thought again——

Even if it doesn't attack me now, if I can't recover to my best condition, as long as any ghost passes by here, I will definitely die.

——Even if I'm dizzy, I can still smell my bloody smell so thick that it's nauseating.

So I bit my prey at the last moment, regardless of exposing my neck and back, regardless of the freshly healed wound bleeding.As long as that little guy chooses to attack me, I will become the same dead body.

But it doesn't.

Thanks for its timidity.It must die soon in a corner of this boundless desert.

Shyness doesn't make you stronger.

And I grabbed a piece of meat.
