Chapter 543 Honglian's Concerns, the Law of Strength
In the Gobi desert, large bonfires burned in the silent night sky.
In the center of the ancient village, flames soared into the sky, and countless villagers cheered and gathered around the fire, wearing different costumes and dancing some kind of tribal dance used for sacrifice and celebration.
The table made of rock was filled with the flesh and blood of various weird monsters, roasting under the boiling flames to create bursts of meaty aroma.
The village chief even took out the fine wine that had been stored in the village for many years. The rich aroma of wine mixed with the aroma of barbecue floated in the air.
Even in some major sacrificial festivals, the village has never held such a sumptuous banquet.
Every villager's face is filled with a cheerful smile, all because of one thing that makes everyone particularly happy——
The key to the forbidden area that had been lost for many years in their village was found!
Lord Kawazawa, who came from the ancestral land, promised that as long as he handed over the magic weapon guarded in the forbidden area, he could lead them back to live in the ancestral land!
The ancestral land of Jade Sea is a holy land that almost all races yearn for. There are rules and restrictions set by the ancestors there, and all races are in trouble.
As long as they enter the Jade Sea Ancestral Land, it means that they will completely stay away from this precarious life and become an upright "person".
Ayu Balong and others who returned from outside the village were surrounded by the villagers in front of the fire, singing and dancing, which was very lively.
Even Chi Xiaoxiao, who had a pair of furry animal ears on his head, was "kindly treated" by everyone because of Mu Qiu's relationship. After being entertained with fine wine and delicious food, his flat belly bulged.
Chi Xiaoxiao slumped down at the stone table with a satisfied look on her face. After sleeping and sleeping in the wilderness for a while, the little girl finally had a full meal...
Just when the entire village was filled with a festive atmosphere of joy and joy, a lone figure sat on the sand dunes where the firelight had not yet illuminated.
A-Lian looked at the noisy banquet not far away, with a slight smile on her lips, but there was a look of loneliness in her eyes that could not be concealed.
The cold wind of the northern desert blew along the sand dunes. Her short fiery red hair swayed with her windbreaker, and her back looked particularly desolate on the sand dunes.
"what's on your mind?"
At this moment, a magnetic voice suddenly came from behind.
Hearing the familiar voice, Alian turned around suddenly, only to find a slender figure coming from behind.
"senior?!"
With the help of the boiling firelight, Mu Qiu, wearing a black windbreaker, walked slowly from the shadows, holding two ceramic-sized wine jars in his hands.
Throwing one of the wine jars to Alian who was sitting on the sand dune, Mu Qiu raised the wine jar in her hand and took a sip.
The wine given by the village chief had been brewing for an unknown number of years. As soon as I opened the lid, the aroma of the wine overflowed and the taste was mellow.
Mu Qiu had never been interested in this kind of jubilant atmosphere. She originally wanted to go to see the forbidden area of the village in advance, but she didn't expect to see a lonely Alian here.
Alian took the wine jar and looked at Mu Qiu's face for a second, then picked up the wine jar and looked at the noisy banquet in the distance, murmuring:
"Everyone, I'm very happy..."
Hearing the sense of loss in the woman's words, Mu Qiu smiled and said:
"But you seem a little unhappy."
Alian shook her head, and there seemed to be flames flashing in her pupils under the firelight:
"It was my father's long-cherished wish to lead everyone back to their ancestral land..."
She took a sip of the strong wine in her arms and looked at her younger brother who was in the crowd in the distance, as if he was being held in high esteem by the stars. The expression on her face was even more complicated:
"My father and Ayu's father were once the leaders of fire in the Northern Desert..."
Mu Qiu had a smile on her lips, looking like she was listening.
"Our village is located in the Gobi Desert where no grass grows. When Ayu and I were young, the food supply in the village relied on the magic crystals our father obtained from hunting monsters."
"But until one day, when we went to the town to exchange supplies with my father, my father was regarded as a runaway slave by a nobleman, and in full view of the public, he ordered his men to commit violence against him..."
As if recalling bad memories, Alian bit her lower lip tightly, lowered her head, and two lines of tears ran across the corners of her eyes:
"For us who were young at that time, my father who was a demon general was willing to endure the insults and beatings from the nobles..."
"In the end, my dying father was dragged away on the street, but we could only watch helplessly as there was blood all over the ground, helpless."
"Since then, we have never seen my father again..."
Alian raised her head, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and apologized to Mu Qiu:
"I'm sorry, senior, for making you laugh."
She didn't know why she, who had always been strong, was so out of sorts tonight. Maybe she was inspired by the long-lost joy of the villagers.
Since her father passed away, Alian has shouldered the heavy burden on his father's shoulders, and with her outstanding talent, she has continued to strive to grow despite the extreme lack of resources.
He eventually advanced to the Demon General level and took over his father's position as the leader of Fire.
After listening to Alian's story, Mu Qiu just nodded thoughtfully without showing any sympathy.
In the apocalypse, there are many things more cruel than this. In the final analysis, it is just a different form.
He looked meaningfully at the bright moon in the sky and said calmly:
"I have always believed that all misfortunes in the world are due to the lack of ability of the people involved."
Class differences have existed since ancient times, and now the scope has only been expanded to the entire human race.
In the same situation, if Mu Qiu came, it would only be a word of "killing". He would kill as many people as came, and no one in the world would dare to commit the crime. It's that simple.
"Is your ability... insufficient?"
A Lian nodded. She was not qualified to refute Mu Qiu's words, because the facts were like this.
"You are somewhat similar to someone I have met. Although she was also troubled by her inner demons, she never stopped moving forward..."
Mu Qiu thought of Ye Fanyin, who was favored by the heaven and was called the Wind Spirit Sword Princess by the world. The latter was confused about the unknown fate, but she had been improving her strength and trying to break free from the shackles of fate.
"Only by having enough strength can you jump out of the chessboard of fate..."
"Whether it is you or the entire human race, it is the same!"
Mu Qiu took another sip of wine. He was just simply speaking out of his feelings and saying a bunch of nonsense that everyone knew. As for the future of the human race, it had nothing to do with him.
After all, he had long ceased to be a human being...
Alian pondered over Mu Qiu's words, a glimmer of light in her eyes.
She felt that the man standing next to her, who seemed to be of the same age as her, was unfathomable.
Nodding, Alian stood up and bowed slightly to Mu Qiu, with a faint spark in her eyes:
"Senior, I will make myself stronger, strong enough to protect all my companions around me!"
Mu Qiu laughed and shook his head, and said:
"Your name is Alian, right?"
Alian shook her fiery red short hair, raised the wine jar to Mu Qiu, and then drank it all, looking heroic:
"Honglian, my name is Honglian!"
In the distance, the carnival of mankind continued, and the boiling bonfire continued to rise along the sky, as if the rising flames were rising to the other side of the distant shore...
