Monarch of Evernight

Chapter 2: Stand silent

Views:

The little boy was dragged out of the nest without any suspense, and the remaining half of the bread was not spared, and was delivered to the strongest big boy at this moment. These older children were all over ten years old, and the leading one was already twelve years old.

The eldest child in the lead took a deep breath of the aroma of the bread, grabbed a large piece without hesitation and stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed it in one gulp, making the older children beside him swallow wildly.

A bite of bread did not calm down the older child's anger, but instead made him red-eyed: "How dare you hide the food! How about half a piece? Where did you hide it? Don't tell me? Hit me!!"

The little boy was kicked to the ground on the spot, and a group of older children surrounded him with punches and kicks, each time with all their strength, the little boy was beaten and rolled around like a rag bag.

The little girl showed panic on her face, and quietly moved back two steps. She knew that if the little boy told her that the other half of the bread was given to her, then she would probably be beaten to death on the spot.

But the little boy's mouth seemed to be sealed with iron juice, he didn't say a word, he didn't even groan, he just endured the beating in silence.

Finally, the older children got tired and stopped slowly. They also searched the little boy's den, but found nothing.

"It seems that he ate half of it!" an older child said with envy.

"Open his stomach! Maybe we can find it!" Another big, skinny and dark boy yelled viciously.

The older boy kicked the little boy violently, and shouted, "Where did the other half go?! If you ate it, go to hell!"

The little girl's face instantly turned pale.

But contrary to what she thought, the little boy didn't speak, but struggled to stand up.

The little boy moved his mouth, as if he was saying something, but no one could hear him clearly. The older child involuntarily leaned towards the younger boy, wanting to hear what he had to say.

The little boy's right fist suddenly flew up and hit the older boy hard in the face!

The older child let out a scream, covered his face violently, and staggered back. His face was dripping with blood. The little boy quietly grabbed a piece of metal while being beaten and rolled over. At this time, the sharp edge protruded from between his fingers, slashing the older boy's face severely.

"Hit! Kill him!" The injured older child covered his face and yelled like crazy.

The little boy fought desperately, but was knocked down again in a blink of an eye. He gritted his teeth and covered his vitals with his whole body, neither begging for mercy nor moaning.

The older children were tired from beating again, and their hands eased down. The injured older child was not reconciled, he lifted the little boy up from the ground, and was about to say something, but unexpectedly, the little boy suddenly jumped up with the strength he didn't know where he came from, and bumped his head into the older boy's injured face!

The older child's nose suddenly collapsed.

He covered his face and screamed, and the other older children looked at the little boy with a little fear from the bottom of their hearts. They thought they couldn't hold on to such an injury, and they didn't know what kind of strength supported the little boy to stand, standing in front of them!

This time without ordering, the older children rushed forward, knocked down the little boy, and beat him severely again. When they were tired, the little boy moved and stood up staggeringly.

This is an extremely stubborn child, even if he dies, he will die standing up.

"Kill... kill him!" An older child proposed, his voice trembling. If he didn't kill the little boy, he felt that he would not be able to sleep peacefully in the future.

No one went along with his proposal, but the little boy was knocked down again. This time, the older children were much lighter. They were instinctively afraid, and at the same time they were really tired. Today they have little harvest, and their physical strength is limited. If it weren't for the mania brought by Feiyue and wanting to vent, maybe they would walk away after grabbing the bread.

Just when the older children stopped beating their waists and legs, a small figure suddenly appeared beside them.

It was a little girl, and she struggled to lift a rock that was quite huge for her, and squeezed up.

The older children looked at her in amazement, her beautiful little face showed firmness and madness, she swayed and lifted the stone high above her head, and then smashed it down on the little boy's head with all her might!

With a bang, the little boy finally stopped moving, a pool of blood appeared under his head, and then expanded rapidly.

There was a sound of gasping around, and the older children subconsciously moved two steps away from the little girl who could be kicked down.

The little girl ran to the rolled stone again, and hugged it with difficulty. The stone was already stained with blood, and the blood stains rubbed against the little girl's body and face. Even the leader of the older boys felt chills as the little figure staggered towards the little boy.

At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly swept through the garbage dump, and some scraps of paper were rolled up. The already rather cold night suddenly became extremely cold, and all the people who were still rummaging for food in the garbage dump suddenly shivered.

They didn't know that an invisible force field had quietly covered the entire garbage dump.

The vast majority of people were dazed and ignorant, and immediately began to rummage in the garbage dumps after the brief chill passed. A few people felt that something inside their bodies jumped a few times, but this feeling was as light as an illusion, and the jumping feeling disappeared soon, so they didn't care about it, and continued to look for food for today's survival.

But very few people stayed where they were, looking at their hands in astonishment. Their hands did not know when they began to emit a faint light, which was particularly eye-catching under the night. Not only their hands, but their whole bodies were glowing, and a mysterious new power appeared in their bodies.

If you look down from a high altitude, you can see many light spots shining on the vast airship cemetery, as if the galaxy fell to the ground.

The little girl's body also emitted light, and her strength suddenly increased a lot. The sudden abnormality did not affect the little girl's actions. Instead, she stepped up a few steps and walked to the little boy's side, smashing the stone hard at his head!

All the older children were waiting for the moment when the little boy was bloody and bloody. Some of them felt uncomfortable and turned their eyes to the side, subconsciously unwilling to look again.

At this moment, the little boy's body suddenly burst into bright light, and even a red beam of light appeared, rushing to a height of more than ten meters, which was extremely eye-catching under the night! Around the beam of light, several halos appeared, moving along the mysterious trajectory.

The heavy stone hit the light, as if blocked by an invisible force, it bounced off. This sudden change shocked all the older children. Some jumped up, but they were at a loss.

In the night sky, under the lower half of the huge crimson full moon, there is a floating boat tens of meters long sliding through the air.

It was made in the shape of an old-fashioned light boat, with masts, ship towers, and decks. The overall painting is blue-gray, and the forged copper bow of the ship is embossed with a glaring Vajra, with a mighty face and a pestle in both hands.

The left and right sides of this flying boat protrude one wing each, equipped with propellers, and the speed of both sides is slow and fast, so as to adjust the forward direction of the floating boat. It didn't have a buoyant airbag, and it couldn't see any other power devices, and it didn't know how it stayed afloat.

The lines of the pontoon are smooth and elegant, and it doesn't look very gorgeous, but whether it is the splicing of the mast sail or the carvings on the side railing, every detail is extremely simple and exquisite, which is a kind of unobtrusive luxury.

At this moment in the floating boat, a silver-haired man was standing by the window, looking down at the airship cemetery below.

His face was not old, he should be in his prime, his eyes were deep and clear, his chin raised a resolute and elegant arc. A black uniform with a stand-up collar is the standard style of imperial military uniform, but there is no rank mark. There are only two rows of silver buttons, and the pattern of long sword and fire on the buttons highlights his extraordinary identity.

The silver-haired man stood there, showing his sharpness naturally, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath.

In the room, there was also a man in his fifties, with a square head and big ears, a kind face, and a rather fat figure. He was staring at the chessboard in front of him at the moment, a white piece made of the finest warm jade in his hand could not fall no matter what.

The chess game on the board is coming to an end, and a big dragon of white chess is struggling to survive.

After thinking for a long time, he finally let out a long sigh, put the white piece on the chessboard, and conceded defeat.

"Brother Xitang, I haven't seen you in seven years. Your chess skills are still as good as before!" The fat middle-aged man stood up, walked to the porthole, stood side by side with the silver-haired man, and looked down.

Through the porthole, you can see faint lights flickering everywhere in this huge airship cemetery covering an area of nearly 100 square kilometers, like sparks.

Seeing this scene, the fat middle-aged man looked disapproving, and said, "Brother Xitang, you really need to correct this problem. Dayan Tianji Jue is indeed unique in stimulating and guiding the potential of the original force, but it also You don’t need to put it on the entire airship cemetery, do you? Could it be that your original force is too much to use up? Why don’t you give me an empowerment and let me enjoy your benefits!”

Lin Xitang smiled and said, "Brother Tuohai is still so outspoken. You see, these people below all have the potential to cultivate the original force."

However, Gu Tuohai didn't take it seriously: "So what? There are too many people with potential. You made a special trip to this hellish place to find me, and then you didn't go back directly to the imperial capital, but came here to make a big detour. Could it be that you want me to experience your accomplishments in the Dayan Tianji Jue?"

Lin Xitang laughed a few times, pointed out the window, and said, "I'm not that boring. You see, if you only count the proportion of people with cultivation potential, the people in this airship cemetery are no lower than the common people of the empire. You too I know that when the empire moved to the upper continent, all the families with cultivation potential went with them. Now, more than 800 years have passed, and the proportion of people with cultivation potential among the common people of the empire is not as high as that in this cemetery. Look Come on, the good life of the people of the empire has been too long."

"That's not true!" Gu Tuohai shook his head and said, "Whether you have potential is one thing, but to what extent you can cultivate is another. The families that followed the empire to the upper continent all had special talents in a certain area. Once they have aroused their cultivation aptitude, they can advance to the third and fourth ranks at the worst. But these people below are congenitally deficient and their minds are distorted, and most of them will reach the end of their cultivation at the first level."

Lin Xitang said calmly: "But it is easier to stimulate potential in a desperate situation, and more people with potential will emerge. This is an indisputable fact."

Gu Tuohai snorted heavily, and said, "It's your set of natural selection again! After all these years, you have never seen it through!"

"Since I'm right, why do I need to see through it? Look at the little sparks below, it is the light of our empire's inheritance, and it is also the future hope of the human race. I think my ancestors of the Lin family also started from such a place back then. Countless dark races have made great achievements, from the bottom of the abandoned land to the appointment of officials and nobles. As far as my generation, Lin Xitang, has been trusted by His Majesty, and entrusted the important task to me. I should devote myself to the empire and die! As long as it is beneficial I will do anything about the empire! I don’t care about a little criticism.”

Gu Tuohai paused, and said angrily: "Is that a small criticism? I know I can't understand it with you, a stubborn guy! Alas, I, Gu Tuohai, was also confused for a moment, so I promised you to serve the empire for another ten years. Anyway, I’m going to do some work this time, don’t expect to take on any big responsibilities. In addition, good wine and beautiful women are also indispensable!”

Gu Tuohai saw that Lin Xitang just smiled and said nothing, he couldn't help being slightly annoyed, pointed out the porthole, and raised his voice slightly, "What you see are stars, but what I see is the devastation of life! If the empire hadn't given up the Eternal Night Continent back then, How could this place become an abandoned place? Look, in this unlucky place, what kind of truly qualified people will appear? If there are, then it is really a fucking ghost!"

But in the direction of his finger, a thin red beam of light suddenly appeared!

Although the beam of light was weak, it was extremely eye-catching among the many stars-like rays of light, and even the brilliance of the blood moon covering the sky and the earth could not be concealed.

Gu Tuohai was stunned for a moment, and murmured: "This... is this really a ghost?"
