"I won't let you take it away!" Yu Shishi said firmly.
Many blue moths flew out of the canopy while she was talking. The moths were as numerous as the leaves of a tree. They quickly surrounded the people who were trying to steal the giant cocoon.
"Puda puda puda ~ ~ ~ ~"
Zeng Guanglie could not help but feel annoyed when he heard the sound of the moths flapping their wings.
Zeng Guanglie mocked when he saw the number of moths increasing, "Weren't you trying your best to protect these little moths not long ago? Why are you sending them to their deaths now?"
Yu Shishi bit her lips. There were not many moths left. Many of the moths surrounding the evil men were still underage. The moths had a short lifespan to begin with. It was a great torture for Yu Shishi if she could not enjoy the last bit of her life.
That being said, she could not let these people take the giant cocoon away. Their only hope was sleeping inside it. She was the queen of the moths, who were already weak and dependent on others!
The moths were not as strong as the demon creatures. They were food for other creatures most of the time, and most of the time, they did not have a fixed place to stay. They were like a bunch of tiny insects living in the cracks of the world. Their life and death did not matter to them at all.
They would only be able to recover and live a peaceful life after the Moon Moth Phoenix woke up. They would have their own territories and tribes, and they would have enough strength to protect themselves …
As such, they could not afford to let these people take the Moon Moth Phoenix away, even if all the adult and half-grown moths had died. The Blue Moths Tribe had no choice but to wait for the Moon Moth Phoenix to wake up and protect them. They would be eliminated by the world where the strong preyed on the weak!
Yu Shishi was an abandoned person. She was only able to live until now and enjoy everything she had because of the Moon Moth Phoenix and the moths. She swore she would not let them die the moment she was reborn!
"You will have to do it over our dead bodies if you want to take the Moon Moth Phoenix away!" Yu Shishi said sternly.
The adult and underage moths flew toward the Moon Moth Phoenix's giant cocoon in an orderly fashion. They formed a protective barrier to stop the people of the Research Union from getting any closer to the cocoon.
"How ridiculous, I can easily kill you little pricks!" Zeng Guanglie said disdainfully.
The golden flames surged again like a golden-red tide filled with devouring power, lunging at the barrier formed by the moths.
The barrier was formed by the bodies and wings of the moths. When the flames engulfed the moths, their bodies were soon set ablaze. The moths that were set ablaze by the flames left the barrier by themselves when the flames spread to their companions. They fell into the clear water like fireworks that had been incinerated.
At first, there were only a few dozen of them floating on the surface of the water like withered petals. Soon, the surface of the water was filled with them.
The golden flames burned fiercely, killing the moths rapidly. Yu Shishi held back her tears. She could not bear to watch the moths die.
The lifespan of the moths was short, but they were brilliant too. Yu Shishi could sense their curiosity, passion, and love for nature. As a matter of fact, Yu Shishi believed their emotions were richer and more sincere than some cold-blooded people. Yu Shishi had seen too many people who had made her feel disheartened. She was not feeling good when she saw the remaining moths protecting the Moon Moth Phoenix and watching them die one after another.
"There's no need to be so sad. Based on what I know, these moths can only live for seven days at most. Seven days will pass in the blink of an eye. They will die if they are burned to death by the flames. They will also die if they are buried in the soil. What's the point of living for another day or two!?" Zeng Guanglie said mockingly.
Yu Shishi was infuriated by Zeng Guanglie's words!
Seven days. Most moths could only live for seven days, but was there no point in living for them just because their lifespans were short?
"The Moon Moth Phoenix is a Totem Beast, one of the protectors that once protected humans, yet you are trying to enslave her! Yes, these little creatures can only live for seven days, but they are doing everything they can to protect their empress, who has brought hope to their species. They are not willing to back down even if they have to risk their lives! "Look at you humans, you are biting the hand that feeds you. Not only are you not grateful to the Totem Beasts, you even tried to hunt down the ancient Totem Beasts. Even though the Totem Beasts have withdrawn from humans and the dominators of this land, you are still doing such dirty things to them! Even if you live for a thousand or ten thousand years, you won't be able to change your filthy nature, let alone a hundred years! "Yu Shishi snapped furiously.
She was a new life that the Moon Moth Phoenix had given her, including her ability and bloodline as a moth woman. In Yu Shishi's eyes, the Moon Moth Phoenix was more like an elderly mother who had taken care of her as she grew up. Yu Shishi had learned some things about the past from the Moon Moth Phoenix!
Why did the Totem Beasts disappear?
Wasn't it because the humans' desires and ambitions were growing rapidly? Wasn't it because they were ungrateful and ruthless!?
No Mage would mention the ancient Totem Beasts. No one would admit that they were the ones who had driven the Totem Beasts away and killed them in the land that originally belonged to them!
