Chapter 329 Others can be ants, but they can also be the rising sun

Guan Shan was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Taiyi meant by this.

Just as he was about to ask, he felt a sudden light on his shoulder. Taiyi curled up into a ball of snow again and slid down his shoulder.

Guan Shan hurriedly reached out to catch it.

Taiyi, who was originally the size of a human child, has now shrunk into a snowball the size of a palm. Except that it still maintains a little temperature, its appearance is no different from ordinary snowballs.

"Old Li... have you ever seen such a snow monster?" Guan Shan asked with some uncertainty while holding Taiyi in his hands.

"Don't say we've met..." Li Yunxuan shrugged helplessly, "I've never heard of it."

"It's still warm, so it's probably not dead. It's probably in a dormant state."

"Anyway, Taiyi saved my life, I can't leave it in this damn place anymore."

As he spoke, Guan Shan took out all the dry food in his pocket, made a free pocket, and put Taiyi in it. He also specially left a gap in the zipper for Taiyi to breathe.

But then I thought about it, Taiyi didn't even have a nose, and probably didn't need oxygen, so he zipped up all the zippers to prevent him from flying out on the way back to the camp.

"That little guy doesn't seem to be malicious at the moment, but to be on the safe side, I'll send him to the Bureau of Creation for a look when I get back."

"At least find out what it is."

"Compared to this little guy..."

"These things are more troublesome."

Li Yunxuan changed the topic and pointed to the side.

The six monsters that had fought fiercely with Class 197 before were all turned into white bones. The broken clothes were hung on the broken skeletons, swaying gently with the cold wind blowing by.

"Every time I am near death, it only lasts for 15 minutes. How could it become like this?" Guan Shan approached the nearest skeleton in surprise and asked in confusion.

"It's not 15 minutes. After you lose consciousness, they start to dissolve." Liang Yuxin came to Guan Shan's side and said.

"Just like the corpses of snow monsters seeing sunlight, their flesh and blood all turned into snow and blended into the snow."

"Only these bones are left, and they can still be seen as human."

Could it be that they were humans before, but for some reason were assimilated into the snowy mountains and became existences similar to snow monsters?

Guan Shan was startled, and a dangerous idea suddenly came to his mind.

"Will we become such monsters too?"

"Before this operation, neither the human race nor the demon race had been active near Wuliang Snow Mountain for a long time."

"The previous exploration of the Demon Slayer Division was also hastily ended without any follow-up."

"Perhaps these monsters are members of the investigation team sent by the Demon Slayer Division."

Guan Shan looked at his companions with a solemn expression and expressed his guess.

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

There was only the "whooshing" sound of the wind, which made everyone's hearts become heavier and heavier.

...

In the frontline military camp.

In the temporary tent where the seventh scout team was located, Ergouzi was holding food and stuffing it into his mouth desperately.

It has been three days since he arrived at the front line. Ergouzi has gradually adapted to the task of scouting and is no longer so afraid of the demon clan.

Except for the encounter with the demon clan's wolf cavalry team when reporting on the first day, there were no fierce battles in the next few days.

It's just that riding horses every day consumes too much physical energy, and Er Gouzi's appetite seems to have increased a little.

Niu Aotian's deeds of fighting against the wolf cavalry team by himself have been widely publicized. No matter where he goes, Er Gouzi can feel the gaze on him.

He was a little embarrassed at first, but after doing it more times, he got used to it, and he felt a faint sense of pride in his heart.

I am no longer as resistant to going to the front line as I was at first.

"I'm talking about Aotian, what kind of strength are you? You can't really be an eighth-level venerable, right?" Ji Yun put down his job and asked with some gossip.

Ji Yun was already lively by nature, and after a few days of getting along with Ergouzi, he had become familiar with him. Seeing that the captain was obviously very curious but always refused to talk, he finally couldn't help it anymore.

Sure enough, as soon as the topic was raised, Ji Li and Kong Shaoyou froze in their eating movements, and their bodies tilted to one side subconsciously.

Sure enough, everyone has a gossip soul hidden in their heart.

Ergouzi shook his head honestly, "I am not an awakened person."

"Since I was a child, I have been an ordinary person with no sense of existence. I am average in studies, average in social interactions, and very timid. Everyone doesn't like me."

"Over time, I got used to being alone."

"Most of the time, I am like a ball of air, outside the world. Even when my parents got divorced, my neighbors told me about it. They seemed to have forgotten that I existed."

"That day I went home alone as usual, cooking alone, washing dishes alone, and sleeping alone. I thought it was an ordinary day."

"But after dawn, I realized that my home was gone."

"I haven't seen my parents since that day. I heard that they all started their own families, but I didn't have the courage to confirm it, so I still don't know if it's true."

"No one in this world cares about my existence. I just live alone, waiting to get moldy in the corner."

"If it weren't for Master, I would have died in a corner unknown to anyone."

"That's right."

"The battles you saw before were all completed with the help of my master."

"But you can rest assured that I will work hard, and I will work hard to become a reliable person and a comrade-in-arms worthy of trust."

"Please believe me."

Er Gouzi thought for a long time and decided to confess everything. He has been hiding in his own world for too long.

Everyone in this world regards him as an ant, only the master regards him as the morning sun.

He doesn't want to be a useless person anymore, and he doesn't want to disappoint his master.

He wants to face himself and the world seriously.

Er Gouzi said calmly, and continued to pick up the bowl in front of him and chewed it.

He felt an invisible big hand gently pressing his head and rubbing it gently.

Er Gouzi's mouth corners were slightly raised, his mouth was full of food, and he showed a silly smile.

After listening to Niu Aotian's story, Ji Yun was a little confused for a while. He really couldn't connect the monster in front of him who slaughtered a wolf cavalry squad with an ordinary person who no one cared about.

Ji Yun was about to ask something else when he felt his elbow nudged by Ji Li, who shook his head slightly.

The table was quiet again, with only the chewing sound of food being swallowed.

Just when everyone in Team 7 thought that today's mission was over and they could finally have a good rest after dinner, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded over the camp.

This short period of peace was interrupted.
