Even if he could only see the ruins when he arrived at Jin Ling city, he still wanted to go and take a look. If there was no hope for humanity, then there was no point for him to live alone.
Moreover, the most important thing was that his aunt was still there. Whether she was dead or alive, he still wanted to go and take a look, even if he might not even be able to see her body.
Chu Yunsheng walked alone on the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood with the help of the crutches. He didn't even care about the incantations to heal himself. His heart was already dead.
He used to wonder why those people who committed suicide would give up their precious lives so easily. But now, he seemed to understand that those bastards were forced to do this!
He didn't know how long he had walked, and he didn't know how long he had walked. His watch was already broken, and only the faint light in the sky was still there, indicating that the day was not over yet.
Finally, the number of corpses was not that dense, and the road gradually widened.
When he was walking down the slope, he slipped on the blood under his feet and rolled down the slope. His head hit a withered tree.
His head instantly started to bleed, but he didn't pass out again. Because at that moment, he heard the roar of the red-shelled insect.
He stood up straight and looked into the distance. Finally, he saw the first living person!
Three red-shelled insects were besieging him. 'Wait, no,' he wiped the blood from his eyes. 'There are two of them!' The other one was a tiger!
The strange thing was that the tiger was standing on the man's side, fighting against the red-shelled insects!
Since the dark age, except for some cats and dogs, Chu Yunsheng had never seen any other large animals. This was the first time he saw the former king of all animals, and he didn't expect it to be so weak.
The tiger's body was surrounded by a sharp golden light. It kept opening its mouth and roaring, and it seemed like there were streams of air coming out of its mouth to attack the red-shelled insects.
The man who was fighting with it was also a fire elemental warrior. He was waving his fists to block the red-shelled insects' pincers.
There were already three red-shelled insects' bodies around them.
Chu Yunsheng stood far away from them. When he took out the bow from the storage talisman and got closer to them, he found that the man and the tiger were both seriously injured.
He hated the insects, it was they who destroyed his world, beliefs, and everything. His heart, which was like dead ashes, was filled with an uncontrollable fierceness – kill!
Chu Yunsheng channeled what little Yuan Qi he had left into the bow, aimed at a red-shelled insect, and shouted, "Go to hell!
The frost arrow pierced through the air!
Before he finished his sentence, the arrow had already pierced into the red-shelled insect's shell and froze it.
Then the fire elemental warrior smashed the ice sculpture with his fist.
However, at the same time, the other insect went berserk. It completely ignored the tiger's attack and rushed towards the fire elemental warrior. Its sharp legs were aimed at the back of the warrior's head.
A fire elemental warrior's defensive ability was very weak. If he was hit, he would definitely die on the spot.
The speed of the insect was too fast. Even though Chu Yunsheng had already shouted, the man still had no time to dodge.
Chu Yunsheng thought that he was going to die.
But the result was unforgettable. The tiger roared and jumped out, blocking the deadly attack for the fire elemental warrior.
The tiger's neck was pierced by the red-shelled insect's leg. The tiger's body was instantly covered in a golden light. It didn't care about the blood that was spurting out from the tiger's leg. Then it bit the insect's head, which was the weakest part of the insect, and didn't let go.
The fire elemental warrior turned around and was shocked. He waved his fists and punched the red-shelled insect's shell until the insect's shell was broken and its mucus was splashing everywhere.
The worm died, and so did the tiger.
The fire elemental warrior was a man in his forties. He was holding the tiger's head and crying loudly.
Chu Yunsheng just stood aside and looked at the man and the tiger silently.
After a long time, the fire elemental warrior's tears gradually stopped. He wanted to stand up, but he staggered and fell to the ground. Only then did Chu Yunsheng notice that the insect had pierced through his right chest, so he quickly held him up.
He smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, no matter who you are, I have to thank you."
Chu Yunsheng shook his head. The reason why he killed the insects was because he hated them to the bone.
The fire elemental warrior coughed a few times and sat down next to the tiger. He gently stroked the tiger's fur and sighed, "my wife is dead, my daughter is also dead, now Hu Zi is also dead, I don't have anything to live for!"
Then he took out two boxes from his pocket and passed them to Chu Yunsheng, "Brother, cough, cough, I don't have long to live, I want to ask you a favor, I used to be a zookeeper in Gusu Zoo, cough, cough …"
He gestured with his hands as if he was trying to recall something, "I have been taking care of Hu Zi since he was this big, I raised him for ten years, cough, cough …"
Then he pointed at a big box and said, "this is its cub, it was conceived during the age of light, I don't know what happened, cough, cough, it has been half a year, it just gave birth a few days ago, there were three litters, two died, this is the only one left."
He raised his head and begged Chu Yunsheng, "bring it to Jin Ling city, you can raise it yourself, or you can give it to the government, cough, cough, but please, no matter how hungry you are, don't eat it, okay? It really is not an ordinary cub, it was born with its mother's awakened ability, it will definitely become a great person in the future! Cough, cough … "
Chu Yunsheng took over the box and signaled him not to worry, "don't worry, I won't eat it, don't worry!"
He looked at Chu Yunsheng's eyes and said, "cough, cough, thank you, you are willing to help us, I believe you, I believe you, I will give the cub to you, you can take it away, cough …"
Chu Yunsheng hesitated for a second, but before he could say anything, the zookeeper was already dead!
He opened the box with the ventilation hole, the little tiger was still sleeping soundly inside, as if everything that happened just now had nothing to do with it.
Chu Yunsheng took it out of the box. The little tiger was woken up from its dream, it yawned, its little paws moved a few times, and then it fell asleep.
Looking at its young body, it was a completely new life, it was an animal that belonged to the earth, it was born in the dark age, it was the continuation of the earth's species!
Chu Yunsheng's heart seemed to have understood something, it was like a new life, it was an animal that belonged to the earth, it was born in the dark age, it was the continuation of the earth's species!
As long as there is life, there will be a day when humans will drive the insects out of their home and rebuild the earth.
There will be hope in the future, only when people are alive can they have a future!
Chu Yunsheng put the little tiger back into the box and picked up another small box, it was written: Beloved wife, beloved daughter's ashes.
His heart was beating fast, he sighed and said, "if that's the case, I will help you bury them. Your family of three, plus this tiger, I hope you can reunite in the underworld!"
…
After burying the zookeeper's family, Chu Yunsheng took the box with the little tiger and continued his journey.
Feeding the little tiger gave Chu Yunsheng a headache for a while. Fortunately, the zookeeper left his notes in the box. Because the mother tiger only gave birth to three cubs, the one that survived was born with an awakened ability, so he made a lot of notes.
The little tiger grew very fast, it was much faster than the normal growth cycle of tigers in the age of light. Based on the mother tiger's ability to eat red-shelled insects' meat, the zookeeper estimated that the little tiger would be able to eat red-shelled insects' meat one month after it was born.
This solved Chu Yunsheng's biggest worry. If the little tiger was fed the food of the age of light, the little amount of meat he had would not be enough for it.
But if it was the red-shelled insect's meat, then it would not be a problem. He didn't have much right now, but the insect's meat was the most abundant. It was piled up inside the storage talisman.
The little tiger's appearance had helped Chu Yunsheng recover a little bit, he was no longer completely lifeless.
Plus he encountered a few red-shelled insects, it meant that he was close to the area where the insects gathered. So he found a hidden place and cultivated for three days.
At the same time, he also recovered some of the injuries on his legs. At least he didn't need to use crutches anymore.
Before he left, he made an energy shield talisman for the little tiger and sealed it on the tiger's head. The little tiger's growth had exceeded the zookeeper's estimation. It had already opened its eyes, and it often jumped on Chu Yunsheng's hand to play.
What surprised Chu Yunsheng was that the little tiger's ability was not only the metal elemental ability, but it also had the strange wind elemental ability. This was the first time he had seen this kind of ability.
