The old man asked in this way, but no one answered. People didn't even have an impression of the beast in their minds. They hadn't even heard the word, and couldn't understand its meaning at all.

"I don't know, what is a beast!"

Just when the old man sighed and was about to continue speaking, the child next to Xia Yi raised his hand, which made the old man smile instantly.

"Beasts are beings that have lived in this world like us. Some of them are weaker and smaller than us. They can do nothing but escape. Some are stronger than us. Their bodies alone are several times ours. They have fangs and Sharp claws, they have speeds far beyond our reach, just get caught, bitten, and even if we are seen by them, we will die."

"We are far behind these beasts that live with us in this world. They are supposed to be hegemons. But our ancestors only looked at one thing and thought about why there were those things, and when they reached out their hands, everything was Change."

"Look carefully at the surrounding rock walls, the murals left by your ancestors, do you know what that means?"

After the old man said this, even Xia Yi looked at the surrounding rock walls. He didn't pay attention at first. The mural on the rock wall was a scene where people stretched their fingers to the sky. With many small points of disorder, Xia Yi recognized what they were, and they were the star map where the new Dao Fa was located.

Perhaps in the first few years after the great migration of the human race, the people of the old Dao Fa were not desperate. They were unwilling to abandon their hometown, and stubbornly stayed at the star that nurtured the human race, looking forward to one day they could rise again, and even the history is more than summer. Yi imagined that he was still helpless.

Those who left were forced to flee their hometowns. For the sake of the human race to continue to take root, most of the strong human races stayed in the old way, and fought with the innate races and evils until the world collapsed and the sea was destroyed. Everything that the old Daofa saw, the corpses of the innate race and the remnants of the human race, Xia Yi's ears sounded the sound of killing that originated from the ancients.

We have never stopped, no matter how deep the night we are, the panic flames in our hearts will never go out, touch the sky and hope the glory of the human race will be forever.

Many people use their intelligence again after a few years and decades to think about why their ancestors left these things. They live underground. They have not even seen the dark sky, but they follow the murals together. Subconsciously stretched out his hand to the rock wall above his head.

"Beyond the darkness of the sky that never fades, there is another thing that never fades. That is the dream of our ancestors and ancestors. The starry sky is where we may finally be unable to escape. Our destiny will end here. The real world is not worth mentioning, but at least, we have pursued the real world."

"Our ancestors wished to burn themselves to the heavens. It was definitely not for the future generations to hide in this small cave and not know the taste of life and death. We are afraid of death, but we should be more afraid of death as human beings and why we were born. Being human, because we are destined to touch..."

Halfway through, the old man clenched the photo crystal in front of his chest, and the endless and fascinating starry sky emerged in front of everyone through the projection. The stars were like constant sand dotted on the dark curtain, and every faint bright spot was A bigger unknown world.

The stars are shining and the immortal glow alternates between birth and death. This is a superb view that never ends, and it is also the greatest destination of people's hearts.

"This sky!"

The old man talked a lot next, shining stars, beautiful planets, distant galaxies and the history that our ancestors really touched.

I never know the so-called, I don't know whether tomorrow is the ant who lives or die. From the blood of all animals to the spirit of all things, it is because people are always thinking about the stars in the sky at night, all kinds of myths, all kinds of expectations, all kinds of beautiful talks are all realized.

Although the starry sky is not as well-meaning as people think, there are always people heading towards the starry sky. When they can hold the starry sky, people finally understand where they should go, stepping across mountains and deserts, across rivers and rivers, in forests, and in snow. Land, in the desert, in the valley, in the crypt under the dark sky, as long as they see the starry sky, people will remember why they were born.

In order to reach the sky.

In the underground settlement, the old man told everything he knew. The old man in the settlement opened his mouth slightly and looked at other people with a particularly complicated mood. Those with empty eyes left tears and forgets. In the past, what is the purpose of wasting these years?

It turns out that they have such a glorious history. It turns out that they shouldn't have been born and waited to die in this cave. People could have accepted the darkness. If they had never seen the light, they could have lingered in the cold, if they had never felt it. To warm.

You can die so that no one cares, if you have never seen the stars.

"Can't... continue like this."

People who haven't spoken for decades reluctantly speak again.

"I am still alive!"

The hollow-eyed person clenched his fists, and starlight reflected from the depths of his pupils.

"Back to the starry sky! We must come to the starry sky again!!"

Having lived in the settlement for a lifetime, the elderly who had never been out of the cave beat their chests, and couldn't help crying hoarsely.

"outside world……"

In the depths of the children’s souls, the panic flames rooted in the hearts of the human race are ignited, and they will not be extinguished. People have fire in their hearts. If they are buried in the depths of the crypt, if this life can only end in depression, Then they would rather embrace death immediately.

"Everyone, here’s the good news for everyone. I wandered through the settlements. Although some people refused, some insulted, and some only cared about their own life, many settlements with good conditions did not want to take risks, and many settlements on the verge of extinction rob me of what I have left. Some food, but there are also more settlements willing to take out the ancient relics, we will jointly build a starship!"

"For this, everyone's sun is needed..."

The old man pointed to the Golden Ding at the top of the cave. This was the only intact ancient relic in each settlement, and the most precious material and energy. However, taking the Golden Ding would mean that the settlement would die out.

Is it to linger until the end before the brilliance is exhausted, or to take out the brilliance at this moment, in order to prove the stars again?

The people in this settlement thought for a while, and some raised their hands.

"Coming to the stars again."

"Proof of my human way."

"This life is also dead, I want to live once."

More and more people stretched out their hands, and many people hesitated to look at the children who have not yet grown up, but the children are almost the fastest raising their hands. They don’t want to become useless people who even give up thinking. They can endure hunger, can endure the cold, and even fall on the road willingly. At least they have a living goal, but they can't bear to see the real starry sky.

Lost Jinding.

They die.

Lost the starry sky.

Terran died.

"Thank you! There are still thirteen settlements I haven't been to. When I walk through all the settlements, I will find a way to inform you. Please remember the starry sky. We will eventually arrive again."

The old man bowed in excitement. This is a settlement with a better attitude and willing to give it a try. The elders in this settlement closed their eyes and sighed faintly, but he was also more inclined to choose a real life. He had never tasted it since he was sensible The taste of dreams, but at the end of this dying year, I realized the meaning of life.

In the endless night, the end of the world, set foot and set off again.

Xia Yi watched this scene in the crowd. He wanted to show his great power now and open the dark sky for the people of the human race. But maybe it is not time yet. He will see the last and watch the group regain What will be the ultimate fate of the glorious mortals of the human race.

Because this may also be the final destiny of the human race.

A few hours later.

Outside the settlement, the children waved their tears to bid farewell to Xia Yi and the old man. The young and middle-aged in the settlement, armed with rotten weapons, were willing to march toward the dangerous ancient relics around them, trying to find the ancient relics that would help to build a starship ship in the future.

Seeing this scene, Xia Yi realized that what the old man walked was not at all in despair to let people experience the last beauty and then die away, but a path of salvation that let people know about despair and then choose hope.

Walking into the wilderness again, the dark sky enveloped the earth, and the old man walked in the wind and sand with a small lamp hanging from his waist. Xia Yi accompanied him and listened to his description of the human race and the starry sky in his eyes.

"Xia Yi, can I really reach all the settlements in my lifetime and live to see the real starry sky?"

On the way, the old man began to worry about this. He began to fear death. Because he had a reason to live, he knew that with Xia Yi's company, the journey should be completed. What he was afraid of was the ultimate failure.

"If you don't do it, you will never see the starry sky, but if you do, the starry sky will definitely respond to you."

"I hope so. The senior who handed me Mengshi also visited other settlements throughout his life. I replaced him. If I have an accident, I must hope that you can replace me. I don't know how many predecessors like me have fallen. On the road, I don’t know if the predecessors have tried it. I can’t resist the long night before accepting it and seeking a final sleep. I’m just not willing to accept it.”

The old man looked at the dark road ahead. The wind and sand across his face took away the warmth of his body, but he couldn't bury the fire in his heart. The human race can consider itself humble ants, recognizing fate in the painful reality, leaving behind sad and beautiful legends.

But since it was touched for a while, it will remain unswerving, and it will be broken.

"Don't walk into that good night gently..."

Xia Yi didn’t know why, this sentence came out of his heart, and he spoke naturally. This should be the words he had heard somewhere in Xuanhuang, always accompanied by the thinking about life and death, her mother I like this passage, so I never give up when I am tortured, and I will never admit my fate until the end, even if I am greeted with an inescapable sleep.

"Xia Yi, what do you mean by this sentence?"

"I listened to what others said, but I only felt it. What do you think?"

The old man asked why Xia Yi said this. Xia Yi smiled and didn't answer. The old man's pace paused for a while, and then he moved forward harder.

"Angrily denounces the passing of light, roaring at dusk."

The old man said so.

According to the old man, the settlement that I met before was very friendly. Unlike some settlements, they were completely isolated from the world under the ground. They would never agree to it, and it would be of little use to rush into it.

Such settlements are generally full of aggressiveness and hostility to outsiders. They are inaccessible settlements among hunters. The residents of these settlements may have changed in the long darkness. They refuse to communicate and refuse to go out. That little thing will run out sooner or later.

According to some hunters, the residents of this kind of settlement have lost the ability to think and turned into humanoid beasts. They can even eat people. Even the old people have never explored that kind of settlement.

Unfortunately, bid farewell to the last settlement, the next settlement that took two months to find is just like this.

Xia Yi and the old man stood at the entrance of a cave blocked by rocks. The old man was wondering whether to go in. If he was alone, he would not dare to take any risks. But if Xia Yi protects him, maybe people in this settlement can get it too. Redemption from the stars.

"Are you sure you want to go in? The internal scene may give you a nightmare. Even if we go in, we may not be able to do anything, and even kill people to be forced to protect ourselves."

The old man looked at Xia Yi with a serious expression. In fact, he was the one who didn't want to give up. This kind of settlement was too dangerous. He didn't dare to enter alone even at the youngest and energetic age, and this was his first time. Entering this kind of settlement, he was holding a lantern in his left hand and a dirty dagger in his right, which clearly showed his nervousness.

"Go in, people don't want to become like that. It's a good thing to regain one's cognition."

Xia Yi has seen too many cruel scenes, and even many of them were done by himself. Xia Yi has not only experienced hundreds of battles, but also experienced the precipitation of years. As a god, there are few things that can surprise Xia Yi. NS.

"Then... enter it!"

The old man nodded, and Xia Yi stepped forward and clenched his fists. With a fist, he knocked back the rocks that were blocking the entrance of the cave. A loud noise spread to the ground with the slight vibration, and the completely dark entrance of the cave made the old man frown.

"It seems that the Jinding has gone out."

This is undoubtedly a very painful news. The settlement that lost the Golden Ding can not last for long. There may be no living people inside, but as a gust of yin wind blows from the inside of the cave, a moist rancid smell makes the old man tight. Covered his nose and mouth.

"It's not the smell of mushrooms..."

The old man’s expression was very lost. He had probably guessed what happened to this settlement. This settlement had been destroyed, but even so, he still carried the small lamp and walked inside. Xia Yi walked behind him and walked. After a certain distance, finally came to a relatively empty space, but only a few withered bones on the ground that greeted them.

The old man walked slowly in with a heavy heart. There was no life here, and there were so many corpses. Until the old man and Xia Yi found a corpse with rotten flesh and blood, the owner of this corpse should not have been dead for long. With this discovery, a strange rustling sound suddenly rustled deeper in the depths.

The old man followed the sound and shone the lantern on the way forward. He was a man with no clothes on, and a very thin man with only bones left. He seemed not very old, at most under thirty years old, his eyes were already hollow. None, but pure appetite.

He opened his mouth slightly, revealing a very badly worn tooth.

"Already... hasn't been saved?"

The old man sighed and took the initiative to move forward. The man immediately rushed towards the old man. Xia Yi was not ready to save him. Because the old man had already clenched the dagger tightly, the old man could visit so many settlements, he was not an ordinary person, even if he was old and weak. , If you hold a weapon in your hand, you can still deal with some threats.

He only heard a puff, the old man didn’t evade, letting the man jump on him, and fell into his arms like this, he had accurately sent the dagger into the man’s chest, the man made a weird roar, and the old man just held it slightly He slapped his back with his hands.

"Sorry, but this is the only thing I can do for you."

The man didn't struggle for too long, his body quickly slumped and died. The fresh smell of blood caused more abnormal noises in the cave. The old man grasped the photo crystal on his chest with his hand, and he projected the starry sky. It looked like the starry sky reflected in the darkness was extremely beautiful, but no one appreciated it except him and Xia Yi.

The intelligence of these people may be recalled, but it will take years and decades of re-education. It is a pity that he does not have this condition. Xia Yi can choose to save these people, but Xia Yi did not interfere with the old man’s choice. .

"Look at everyone, this is our starry sky, and every spot of light is a larger world, far beyond our imagination. It is an immortal star, and there are beautiful planets around the star..."

The old man still introduced himself, but people accustomed to the darkness did not say that they have forgotten the starry sky, even the dignity of human beings. They are just beasts with humanoid appearances, and the old people don’t have time to spend dozens of them. They re-educated them as adults in 2016, and they also missed the most critical age for cognition of the world.

Even if it is re-education, their wits will not be so high. The old man can only abandon them, but at least in the end they should be allowed to die under the stars. The old man has shown his vigorous skill and the skill of being a hunter. He didn't need Xia Yi's help at all, and all the degraded people who would attack by himself were sent to the starry sky.

The old man is afraid of people with wisdom and hostility. Those people are no longer reasonable. They are all in this surviving world trying to find ways to make their humble ant-like life a little better, even if it consumes the future. Maybe, they don't care about the future.

Old people don't blame such people. In today's world, most people are like that. From birth, they don't know the starry sky. There is only an obsession with not wanting to die but wanting to live better.

And these degraded people are different. What remains in them is pure sorrow, and their offense is not as powerful as the beasts. This is the appearance of a human race completely lost from fire and starry sky. Xia Yi listened to the vague shouts of these degraded populations. Voice, they are already worse than the so-called ancestors of the human race.

This is the scene after truly losing everything, losing civilization, losing the starry sky, losing wisdom, losing one's pride as a "human", and the end of the human race living in the dark.

After everything was buried in darkness, only the starry sky projected by the shadow crystal remained.

"Thanks... everyone for listening."

Some infarct sounds are accompanied by old tears.

The road to search is still not going smoothly.

The old man and Xia Yi encountered a settlement that asked them to surrender all their belongings. Of course the old man did not want to, but even if the projection of the starry sky was released, they were laughed at by the people in the settlement. They laughed at this is simply unrealistic. However, there were also a few people who looked at the projection of the starry sky and fell into contemplation.

In the end, Xia Yi protected the old man and escaped from this settlement, because they even planned to kill the old man in order to obtain the ancient relics on his body. Everything is hidden, go first to see the situation, this time it is a bit risky.

However, he also seems willing to take this risk.

Because some people have indeed been reawakened to the starry sky. This is something he didn't dare to do before. After knowing this kind of settlement, the old man would leave directly, and there was no chance to show them the starry sky.

Although in terms of the result, the old man failed, but he still behaved very happily. On the way to the next settlement, he talked to Xia Yi about how many people in the previous settlement had starlight in their eyes, and some were fighting for their fate with the heavens. , There are people who obey and fate, and the old people do not blame those who obey fate.

They are just tired and painful, and want to walk quietly into the good night and sleep peacefully. Not everyone is willing to rage at the disappearance of the light and roar at dusk, which means that even the last bit of peace is given up and they are born from the pain of their mothers. , Grew up in pain, and died in pain.

No one wants this, just like people who are dying of illness, some are still insisting on treatment because of their illnesses, and some seek the only bit of peace in the last life.

The old man and Xia Yi kept heading for the next settlement. The main food along the way was dry and smelly mushrooms. Although the taste of this mushroom is extremely unfriendly, it is already a kind to people in this world. Gifts, this mushroom grows in many places, and it is something that people who go into the wilderness can't do without.

Even Xia Yi went to the countryside to follow the customs, eating this disgusting mushroom. When it becomes the driving force for progress, even the unbearable taste can be infinitely delicious. If you dream of taste, it is probably an all-purpose seasoning. .

The next settlement, this settlement has not known how many years ago it was lost, there are no degraded people inside the cave, and it is completely dead. The old man collected useful items in this dying settlement. The starry sky is projected in the center of the cave and tells it alone.

Even if only withered bones listened, he spoke very seriously. He hoped that the dead souls trapped in the dark sky could go to the starry sky. Xia Yi knew that the starry sky was actually cold, empty, and lifeless. .

But in the eyes of the elderly, the starry sky has everything beautiful, or that people give the starry sky beautiful.

The two continued to move forward. No matter how thick the black sand was, it could not be stopped. The old man was a mortal. Xia Yi just made him a little younger and didn't give him much care, but he was able to cross thousands of mountains with an old body. Water, when the human race has not yet risen, what is needed is the flame spreader.
