Chu Yunsheng's eyes were opened by someone, and he saw a man in his fifties wearing glasses staring at his pupils carefully. He shook his head helplessly.
After that, his eyelids never closed again. A sudden one-sided bloody massacre unfolded in front of his eyes.
He couldn't see who the first person to die was. He could only hear a woman's scream, followed by a collective panic and fear. Because of the sudden and strange attack, they were so scared that their hair stood on end and they didn't dare to move.
The man in his fifties, who was about five or six meters away from him, raised his head and looked forward. As if he had seen something incredible, he just stood there motionlessly.
Then, a snowflake floated past Chu Yunsheng's eyes and entered the body of the man in his fifties. It instantly froze into an ice sculpture in front of his eyes, and then shattered into countless pieces. The snowflake that had a complex structure rotated in a circle, as if it was searching for something. It stopped for a moment, and then flew to another person not far away.
A bolt of lightning hit a naked old woman. She was one of the more than one hundred people who escaped from the pig-headed monster. She thought that she was finally safe, so she didn't even have time to put on her clothes. She followed the shadow man all the way here, but in the end, she still couldn't escape the pursuit of death. In just an instant, she was pierced into a cloud of dust. The crackling lightning, like the snowflake, rotated in a circle in the same place, and then chose the next target to be slaughtered.
The same scene was happening everywhere on the oasis — —
A golden grain that dragged a streak of light hit the woman who had stopped Chu Yunsheng from forcing the shadow man to eat the indigenous food …
A white and light feather brushed past the young mother whose child was almost eaten by Big Head Pig Head Meat …
A light blue drop of water, like the most corrosive sulfuric acid, liquefied the honest rural woman who had fed the shadow man and Chu Yunsheng hot soup …
Five attacks were launched at the same time, a crazy massacre.
Panicked screams, chaotic footsteps, noisy cries, all of a sudden, Chu Yunsheng's ears were filled with all kinds of sounds.
He couldn't move, but he could see. He couldn't speak, but he could hear.
The first attack of the creatures above the cardinal level of the new world had appeared! And there were five of them!
Chu Yunsheng knew that this day would come sooner or later, but he did not expect that he would be in such a situation.
He wanted to use his sword, the Wuzi sword, but he couldn't. In his consciousness, there was only a fire that was still burning, and he was still quenching something.
He could only watch as Zhou Daqian and the others were slaughtered wantonly by Feather, Water Drop, Snowflake, Gold Grain, and Lightning Bolt, more than a hundred people who were almost naked in the desert.
Moreover, he couldn't even close his eyes. He could only watch. He had to watch.
He didn't know why the five beings who had already controlled the cardinal didn't kill everyone at once. Instead, they killed one by one. Every time they killed one, they were still searching for something.
He also did not know if the shadow man was also watching this scene. If it saw with its own eyes that the conspiracy it had deliberately planned eventually led to the attack of the five cardinals, would it have a trace of regret?
In its eyes, human beings may not be much different from a dog, but even a dog was a dog that had saved its life. It was a dog that had always protected and cared for it. It was a dog that provided it with food and did not abandon it!
If it still had a little conscience, watching everything that was happening in front of it, would it have even a trace of regret …
Chu Yunsheng didn't know, because he couldn't see the shadow man, and he couldn't speak.
He could only see people running around in panic, hiding in all directions, and trying to escape. In the hot desert, under the burning fire in his consciousness, he still felt a little cold.
Chu Yunsheng was no longer the inexperienced clerk in the dark age. He had long known that these more than one hundred people would die sooner or later. Before the era leader appeared, countless people would die. Zhou Daqian and others were just a very small number among them.
But after all, he was a human being. This kind of collective misfortune of the entire race, not only Zhou Daqian would have it, but he would also have it, whether he admitted it or not.
The killing continued. He saw Zhou Daqian, and Zhou Daqian also saw him. The difference was that Zhou Daqian, who was holding his daughter and wife, was attacked by the water droplets and snowflakes from the front and back. When he had nowhere to go, he suddenly found that there was a safe zone next to Chu Yunsheng.
A naked woman wrapped in a blanket, in a panic, tripped and fell next to Chu Yunsheng's "dead body". The golden grain that was about to catch up with her suddenly stopped as if it had lost its target. After searching for a while, it turned around and flew to other people.
Zhou Daqian didn't know that woman, nor did he know her name, but it didn't matter. As an excellent rescue worker, he had a professional instinct to know where it was safe and where it was dangerous. Almost without thinking, he jumped up and jumped to the other side of Chu Yunsheng with his wife and daughter. The water droplets and snowflakes that were chasing behind them flew straight over their heads as if they didn't see them at all. It was a thrilling experience.
After finding a safe shelter and getting a chance to breathe, Zhou Daqian comforted his wife who was too frightened, covered his daughter's eyes with his hands, and quickly looked around. He was actually very panicked and scared, but he knew that his wife was even more scared. He was their only support. Even if he was weak, he had to fight for a glimmer of life for them.
Death fell on the heads of more than one hundred people on the oasis island one by one, killing them quickly and cold-bloodedly.
Zhou Daqian gradually realized that those things seemed to only be able to 'see' living things, but were 'blind' to the dead. However, this little bit of brainstorming could not save him anything. Unless he died, it would be meaningless.
It was just that he didn't understand why those things around Chu Yunsheng were also "blind".
He didn't understand, but he naturally understood. When Zhou Daqian and He Xiaoning were hiding next to him, he had roughly guessed it.
It was because of the death qi.
He still didn't know what the result of the monster seal talisman was, but judging from the way the Buddha Pattern extracted his life force, the whole group of densely packed creatures that looked like a long line of firewood sticks were probably all killed. With their Yuan Tian stage two and Yuan Tian stage three cultivation, the death qi they gathered should be very large. It was very likely that they couldn't absorb all the death qi into their bodies in a short time, so it was very likely that the death qi was only a few meters around him.
He didn't mind using the death qi to save a few people, but right now his body was completely out of his control. Even his hearing and sight were passive, so the death qi would soon be absorbed into his body and disappear. He and the shadow man were actually two dead people, so it didn't matter to them. But Zhou Daqian and the other people who wanted to use the death qi as a shelter would probably have to face death again.
After Zhou Daqian, a few more people noticed that Chu Yunsheng's place was safe. More and more people rushed over, filling up the narrow space around them. In order to save their lives, no one cared about the difference between men and women, they just stuck together as tightly as they could.
However, the death qi was shrinking at a visible speed. First, the people in the first layer were discovered, and they were instantly killed. Then the second layer, the third layer … The crowd was crazily squeezing in. Those who were slightly weaker were forcibly dragged out by their companions and pushed to the outside. Before they even had the time to be surprised or angry, they were already killed by the five murderous creatures.
Zhou Daqian hugged his daughter tightly, pressed his wife under his body, and then used his last hand to grab Chu Yunsheng horizontally. He did not want to let go no matter how hard the young man on top of him grabbed his hair and kicked his body. He did not want to let go no matter how hard the young man on top of him grabbed his hair and kicked his body.
He knew that as long as he let go, it would be completely over.
But he also knew that the moment would come sooner or later. The area around Chu Yunsheng was getting smaller and smaller. One day, he wouldn't be able to protect even one person.
He just wanted to delay it a little bit longer, even if it would make his daughter's life a little bit longer.
His hair was torn off by the young man. Zhou Daqian felt a burst of pain, but he was not angry. Instead, he felt a little happy. Because the young man was still alive. Then, there was still one person's distance between him and death!
But what was going to come would come. Soon, the young man's body became lighter. The crazy young man seemed to have disappeared.
He was next, followed by his wife and daughter!
Zhou Daqian took a deep breath and raised his head to look at the dancing snowflakes and lightning around him. He lowered his head and looked at his wife, who had suddenly calmed down and seemed to have realized something. The two of them stared at each other for a long time, just like the first time they held hands that summer. He had also looked at her like this, and she had also looked at him like this.
He kissed his wife's cold lips. There were no tears, no fear. He held her familiar little hand and showed the same smile as before. At this time, in the face of impending death, he still didn't forget to try to make his wife relax with a joking tone, "Xiao Yue, it seems that we are going to break up. We promised to be together for the rest of our lives …"
His wife Su Yue's eyes were filled with crystal tears. She held the man's hand tightly and smiled as if she was happy. "In the next life, let's hold hands again."
The little girl seemed to feel the strange atmosphere. She panicked and tried to break free from her father's hand that was covering her eyes. She shouted childishly, "Daddy, mommy …"
Zhou Daqian let go of his hand and gently touched his daughter's little head. He kissed her forehead as if he wanted to melt her in his heart. Tears of heartache flowed down his cheeks. He choked with sobs and said, "Niuniu, close your eyes. Daddy is going to hide. You and mommy will come to find daddy later, okay? Our family will be together forever. "
The little girl didn't know if she understood or not. She blinked her eyes and looked at her father, then looked at her mother, and nodded seriously. "Okay."
Zhou Daqian didn't want to lie to his daughter. He just wanted the whole family to leave peacefully at the last moment. He wanted his daughter to have no fear at the moment of her death. He wanted her to leave this world peacefully, like it was a game, without any pain.
His wife held his hand tightly, bit her lips hard, and trembled slightly. She didn't let her tears flow down. She didn't want her daughter to find out. When they first entered the new world, the game between the husband and daughter seemed to have made her feel the arrival of this day.
Zhou Daqian glanced at the girl on the other side of Chu Yunsheng, who was also holding him tightly. It was not that he didn't want to push her away, but it was meaningless. Since they were going to die, dying together was his last wish. As a father and a husband, he did his best. Although it was very weak, it was all his love.
Looking at the begging eyes of the woman who was afraid that he would push her away, Zhou Daqian didn't say anything. He turned around and looked at his wife and daughter below him. His body gradually drifted away and disappeared …
When the last speck of dust disappeared in Su Yue's hand, she couldn't hold it anymore. She hugged her daughter and burst into tears. She didn't cry for death, but for not being able to see him again.
"Mom, is daddy hiding?" The little girl seemed to understand something.
"Yes, let's go find daddy together, okay?" Su Yue hugged her daughter in her arms, and tears soaked her hair.
"Okay." The little girl tilted her head and looked at the snowflakes, water droplets, and gold grains in the sky with her big eyes. It was as if she could see her father's shadow in the sky saying, "Niuniu, daddy is hiding, come and find me …"
*****
I like small characters like Zhou Daqian. In my mind, heroes are miles apart from the moral models of CCTV. Even old Chu's amazing spear attack is not as good as the weak Zhou Daqian who held up the sky for his wife and daughter until the last moment.
It's just that due to the limited space, there is only so little space for a supporting character. There should be another chapter tonight. Chapter Name: Combined Strike!
