Chapter 4234 Despair
"Listen to your words, will this thing come back on its own after you throw it away?"
The old patriarch responded bitterly:
"Yes, that's it. Not only that, every time I come back, this thing seems to be taking revenge. It eats as much as it can and doesn't leave a way for our people to survive. It's like it's deliberately retaliating against us for throwing it away." It behaves the same."
Every deep wrinkle on the old patriarch's face seemed to be telling endless pain and helplessness. His eyes were bloodshot, and his voice contained not only deep resentment, but also unspeakable fear.
"This abominable thing is simply the scourge of our tribe! Every time it appears, the scene is like the end of the world. The fresh fruits and vegetables we have worked so hard to cultivate in the fields are what our tribe has grown since they sown in the spring. We begin to look forward to the precious fruits that have matured after being irrigated in the hot summer and carefully cared for in autumn. Every vegetable and every fruit is a reflection of our hard work and sweat.
There is also the carefully pickled meat, which the tribesmen risked their lives to fight ferocious beasts in the mountains and forests, and went through countless life and death tests to obtain it. Every piece of meat is full of bravery and tenacity. But this crazy guy completely ignored our hard work. Like a ruthless wind, he swept away all the food in an instant, leaving nothing behind. "
The wrinkled face of the old patriarch seemed to be occupied by sorrow at this moment. He shook his head slowly and continued:
"The behavior of this thing is really unpredictable. Every time it comes back, it's like a
A disaster strikes. The food that our clan had worked so hard to store, whether it was fresh fruits and vegetables or carefully marinated meats, was swept away without mercy.
We have tried to hide it or put up barriers to prevent it from getting close to where the food is stored, but all in vain. It seems to have the ability to read our minds and can always find the food easily. "
The old patriarch's voice became trembling more and more, and the look of sorrow on his face became more intense.
"We thought about hiding the food in a secret cellar. The cellar was dug extremely deep and the entrance was cleverly disguised, thinking that this would avoid its keen sense of smell and ruthless search. We also stored food in the cellar. There are many traps set up in the place. Those traps are carefully arranged with sharp bamboo sticks and hidden ropes, hoping to stop it.
But every time, it seemed to be able to predict the future, accurately finding the hiding place of the food, and easily overcoming the obstacles we set up. The carefully designed trap is like a child's game to it, and has no effect at all. We racked our brains and tried various methods, but we still couldn't escape its ruthless plunder. "
The old patriarch looked sad and said with a trembling voice: "We thought about hiding the food in a cave around the village. The cave is remote and difficult to find, and the road is rugged. We also sent people to guard the entrance of the cave day and night, thinking that this would be foolproof.
However, that guy found it somehow, and before the tribesmen guarding the cave had time to react, the food was already snatched away by it. We have also scattered and hid food in different places, but it seems to have magical perception ability.
I can find it without landing. We are really at our wits' end. "
The old patriarch's brows were furrowed, and his ravaged face was filled with helplessness and exhaustion. His voice trembled, as if he was recalling the unbearable past.
"This thing is simply a nightmare for our tribe. Every time it comes back, it is like a strong wind, sweeping away all the food we have finally saved. We have also tried to resist, but what can we do? It seems It has a mysterious power that leaves us helpless.”
The old patriarch sighed heavily, his eyes filled with painful memories.
"Once upon a time, several young, strong, brave and fearless young men in our tribe saw this thing devouring our food unscrupulously. They were filled with righteous indignation and took up weapons and rushed forward to drive it away. Those young men , are the bravest and most powerful in the clan. They usually rush to the front when hunting and are never afraid of danger.
But the moment they approached the thing, a powerful and invisible force suddenly burst out. The force was like a huge wave, and it flew them away in an instant. They fell heavily to the ground, some broke their arms, some injured their heads, and suffered serious injuries. Since then, no one has dared to challenge this mysterious and terrifying power easily. "
The old patriarch took a deep breath, his eyes revealing a deep sense of powerlessness.
"That power is so powerful and mysterious that we can't compete with it at all. Several young and strong tribesmen once tried to drive it away while it was eating, but as soon as they got close, they were shaken by an invisible force. He flew out and was seriously injured when he fell.
. From then on, no one dared to provoke it easily. "
The old patriarch shook his head helplessly, his voice full of helplessness and sadness.
"Moreover, it never cares whether our tribe is hungry or whether we need this food to survive. It only cares about itself, and its greedy appearance is really annoying and scary." He paused and looked at it. There was a hint of fear in it,
"Once upon a time, our clan suffered a natural disaster and there was already a shortage of food. But when this thing came back, it ate up all the remaining food, causing many clan members to be hungry for several days."
The old patriarch's voice was choked with sobs, and his eyes were full of painful memories:
"In that natural disaster, the floods flooded a large area of farmland, and there was no harvest. After the floods receded, there was very little food left. Just when everyone was frugal and struggling to make ends meet, that guy showed up. . It had no mercy at all and swallowed up our last hope. In those days, the people were so hungry that they were so weak that their children cried out in agony. "
The old patriarch's voice became heavier and heavier, as if every word carried a huge weight.
"In those days, the tribesmen were so hungry that they were so thin that they walked unsteadily. The cries of the children echoed throughout the village. The cries were heartbreaking and made people's hearts twist. We could only dig in the mountains. We can pick some wild vegetables and fruits to satisfy our hunger, but how long can we last? We even sent people to borrow food from neighboring villages, but they don’t have enough food themselves, so what they can lend us is just a drop in the bucket.”
The old patriarch's eyes were full of despair, and his voice was filled with deep despair.
Nay.
"In order to find more food, we ventured into the mountains. The mountain roads were rugged and difficult to navigate, and were covered with thorns. If we were not careful, we would be scratched. There were also ferocious beasts from time to time, and every step we took was full of danger. But in order to survive, we There is no choice. However, even so, the wild vegetables and fruits found are not enough to fill everyone's stomach. We can only watch the people lose weight day by day, but there is nothing we can do."
"It just so happens that such a spiritual egg has not hatched for so many years, and the Lord has never appeared since he left this order. I don't know if he is now..."
The old patriarch's eyes became confused, full of doubts and uneasiness.
"When the lord left this egg, he said that it would be of great use in the future. But after so many years, it is still like this, without any sign of hatching. The lord has disappeared, and we really don't know where to go. What to do.”
The old patriarch looked at the sky and sighed, his eyes full of helplessness and confusion.
"We hope day and night that this egg will change and bring us a turn for the better. We pray to the gods that it will hatch as soon as possible. We have held countless sacrificial ceremonies and offered the most precious sacrifices. , But everything is in vain, but as time goes by, our hopes are frustrated again and again, and our hearts gradually sink to the bottom.”
The old patriarch looked at the sky, his eyes filled with helplessness.
"We also prayed day and night, hoping that the egg would hatch soon and bring us a turn for the better. But day after day, year after year, our hope gradually turned into despair."
Chu Yang laughed dumbly
, even the Lord of the Demon Court beside him couldn't help laughing.
Chu Yang couldn't help laughing, "This is really interesting. I never thought there was such a strange existence in the world." His eyes shone with curiosity, and that light was full of desire for the unknown and desire to explore.
Chu Yang thought to himself: "Such a strange thing is really unheard of. It is so unique, and there must be some unknown secret behind it. If this mysterious veil can be unveiled, it may open my eyes and gain insights." Something unexpected.”
Chu Yang thought to himself, "Such a thing is unheard of. If we can figure out the reason, there may be unexpected gains."
The Lord of the Demon Court also raised the corners of his mouth, "Indeed, this is unheard of."
The Lord of the Demon Court narrowed his eyes slightly and said solemnly:
"However, there may be a lot of trouble hidden in it. The secrets behind such mysterious things may be far beyond our imagination. If we are not careful, it may bring us unpredictable dangers."
The Lord of the Demon Court narrowed his eyes slightly, "However, there may be a lot of trouble hidden in this."
If what the old patriarch said is true, it means that this thing not only has the hope of hatching, but also contains a very spiritual existence.
Chu Yang thought to himself, if what the old patriarch said is true, then this egg is definitely not simple. It can retrieve itself and know how to take revenge, which is definitely not something ordinary eggs can do. There must be a huge secret hidden in it, and perhaps once hatched, it will bring unexpected surprises.
Chu Yang was looking forward to it more and more, "If this egg can really hatch an extraordinary...
What a rare opportunity. "
