"How long can you guard the boundary with me? This boundary is broken, there is no boundary to guard. This boundary can't be broken, and I don't need a young girl like you to help me guard it. You still have to do what you want to do, and you also have to love the person you like — — You dragon and Phoenix, these two enemies have been entangled for thousands of years, it's time for you to come to an end. "The old woman looked lovingly at Lu Qiji, comforting her.
The purple-haired and purple-eyed girl was a descendant of the Phoenix clan. Adding up the age of her previous life, it was most likely tens of thousands of years or even longer. Some people say that since the beginning of heaven and earth, there was the Phoenix clan.
However, at this moment, Lu Qiji had the appearance of a proud and beautiful girl. Although her temperament was somewhat cold, but her heart was extremely good. During this period of time, the old woman couldn't help but treat her as a junior.
If she had a granddaughter, wouldn't she also look and be at the same age?
"What a pity — —"
Lu Qiji could sense the old woman's thoughts, her tone softened a lot. "If the Yin Yin Boundary Stone is broken by the abyssal race, then the entire human race will fall into disaster — — It is unknown whether the human race will still exist, where would we have the mood to think about other things?"
"You're too pessimistic." The old woman shook her head, looking at Lu Qiji's beautiful star-like eyes. "What do you think of the human race?"
"What?"
"Compared to other races — — what do you think of the human race?"
"I don't understand what Grandma means."
"Compared to the dragon race, the human race is short. Compared to the Phoenix race, the human race has a shorter lifespan. Compared to the abyss demons, the human race's vitality is not tenacious enough. Compared to lions and tigers, the human race is not ferocious enough. But, why did so many creatures, who were more powerful than the humankind, who had stronger life-force than the humankind, and who were more qualified to live in this world, go extinct, while the humankind, who had so many defects, could survive for tens of thousands of years? Instead, the humankind became stronger and stronger? "
Lu Qiji looked at the old woman, without any intention to answer, knowing that the answer was already in her heart.
"Because the human race cherishes life. When hungry they know to eat, when cold they know to add clothes. Knowing that eating raw food was not good, the human race discovered fire and found all kinds of edible ingredients. They also painstakingly researched cooking methods … The human race learned how to plant flax, weave, cut clothes, and sew all kinds of boots. There are fans when it's hot, umbrellas when it's raining … there are carriages, horses, and all kinds of animals for taming … "
"Only those who are afraid of death can think of ways to live in this world and live better and better. Be it selfish or ruthless, is there anything more important than living? "
"Yes." Lu Qiji nodded.
"Huh?" The old woman looked at Lu Qiji, asking: "You also have deep feelings?"
"I think of Li Muyang … From the day he was born until today, all his efforts, all his struggles, all his struggles, all his bitterness, were all for the sake of making a living for himself …"
"Yes, Li Muyang has a special identity, but just like millions of humans, staying alive is the most important thing in the world …" The old woman echoed. "So, why do I say you are too pessimistic about the human race? Because, every time the human race is in danger of life and death, there will be heroes that attract the attention of the world. They have led the human race to defeat the demons again and again, and have also continued the human race's lineage and descendants — "
The old woman pointed to the Yin and Yang Boundary Stone. "What the demons of the abyss do not understand is that even if they break the boundary, they cannot break the desire of the human race to survive, nor can they break the backbone of the human race — — At that time, there will still be strong people of the human race who will stand up and lead the human race to fight against the demons, and then drive them back into the abyss again. This time is no different from the last time. It's just that the human race needs to bleed, needs to sacrifice, and needs to pay a heavy price. "
"Why do we work so hard to guard the boundary? It is so that the human race does not bleed, does not have to sacrifice, does not have to pay such a heavy price — — but this does not mean that the human race has no hope. "
"— —"
Lu Qiji wanted to turn and leave.
Since you humans are so powerful, then the divine race will not get involved in the human race's matters — —
"Perhaps, this time it will be the little dragon who saves the human race again — —"
"— —"
After hearing this, Lu Qiji decided to stay and help the human race. After all, the Phoenix divine race is the mother of the human race, how can a mother not protect her child?

Hyah — —
Hyah — —
The clattering of hooves sent muddy water splattering everywhere.
The young General desperately whipped the horse's back. However, the horse had traveled a long distance and was now exhausted, and it was difficult to speed up again.
"General, ahead is the ferry crossing of Wu River — —" A scout came back and reported in a loud voice.
The young General wiped the rainwater off his face, asking aloud: "Is there a ship?"
"No ship."
The young General knitted his brows in a frown. "Turn around."
When he turned his horse around and was about to lead the hundreds of elite troops to the northwest, he heard the rumbling of hooves behind him, and a black tide was surging over.
"General, it's the Peacock army — —"
"To the southeast — —" Yan Xiangma glanced at the size of the pursuing army behind him, knowing that the other side had the advantage in numbers, and the hundreds of people on his side were far from being a match.
The only solution was to run — — continue to run for their lives like before.
However, when Yan Xiangma once again turned his horse around and led the troops to the southeast, he heard the sound of birds chirping overhead. Thousands of colourful birds were soaring high in the sky, flapping their gorgeous wings and contrasting the sky with a variety of colours.
"General, that's the Peacock army — — the guards of the Peacock King — —"
Yan Xiangma reined his horse to a halt, looked up at the colourful birds overhead and burst into laughter. "I didn't expect, I really didn't expect that the Peacock King Ying Boyan would attach so much importance to me — — for me, a little Yan Xiangma, he sent four armies to encircle me, and even his own personal guards, the Peacock army — — what ability do I, Yan Xiangma, have?"
"General — —" The young General beside him wiped away the rain on his face, asking aloud, "General, ahead is Wu River, there are pursuers in all directions, what should we do?"
"What should we do?" Yan Xiangma sneered, drawing out the sword at his waist. "Since there's no way out, then — — we can only fight to the death! Brothers, follow me and kill! "
Yan Xiangma took the lead, brandishing his sword as he charged toward the Peacock army in the southeast direction.
Behind him were hundreds of West Wind soldiers clad in the grey armour of the West Wind Kingdom.
Meeting on a narrow path, only death awaits!
