Qi Huan leaned out half of his body from the ruins.
The fall just now lasted for a long time, almost the same as when they came, because it was too high here. But luckily, this gave Qi Huan enough time to summon a row of paper figures. The small paper figures were connected together, like several long belts attached to them, pulling several people in from all directions. When they landed, several circles of paper figures surrounded them, and any falling rocks would only hit an invisible cover.
After a long collapse, they were squeezed into the gaps between huge rocks. Liu Shenghan injured his leg. Fortunately, it was only a minor injury and he only had difficulty moving. Aoyan and Qihuan spent a lot of effort to dig out a path through the dense rocks and soil. They worked hard to bring out the coldness and finally had time to look around. They are still on the mountain - but this is not the top of the mountain, but a "mountain platform". There are still uneven peaks in all directions. The position where the highest mountain collapsed, that is, the scope of influence of Garuda's divine power, ends at Here it is.
Where are they?
Yellow sand is filling the air, and it will take a long time for the air to become as transparent as before. Now, there are very few remains of the artificially built temples, replaced by a large number of trees on the mountainside. It's very humid in places, probably due to the influence of the river. They could even see white, dirty snow that was still piled together. At this altitude, they should melt quickly.
"Lao Bai! Lao Bai, where are you -"
"Bai Shaoxia? Bai Shaoxia——"
They shouted in vain among the huge ruins. The gaps between the gravel swallowed up the echoes, making the voices even weaker. Suddenly, a dirty little paper man staggered to Qi Huan's feet and pointed in a direction with his remaining thin arm. Qi Huan hurriedly ran over there. Seeing this, Jun Aoyan picked up Sheng Han and chased after him.
Several people walked a long way, and finally, they saw the shadow of someone on the pile of rocks. The sand and soil made it difficult for the three of them to breathe, especially after running for so long, and they couldn't stop coughing. Hearing their movements, the figure didn't react at all. Didn't it fall down? Qi Huan was frightened by this idea. He ignored the smoke and dust, covered his nose roughly, and stumbled over.
The first thing he spied from the dust was a touch of gold. Prone on the ground is Garuda, who still has wings but has transformed into a human form. When Qi Huan rushed over, the dust in this area was actually thinner, perhaps because it had been driven away. Garuda gasped for air, and there were mottled blood in front of him, which might have been coughed up before. He held his forehead, and bright red blood spilled from between his fingers. Are they the eye sockets with wish-fulfilling beads embedded in them?
"Where is he?"
Qi Huan didn't want to worry about this, he just wanted to know where Bai Ya was. Aoyan and Shenghan, who had just caught up, thought the same thing.
Garuda did not answer him. He let go of the hand, and shock suddenly invaded Qi Huan's mind.
The blood didn't come from his eyes, but from his hands - his palms were scratched.
Fragments of wish-fulfilling beads.
The residue mixed with red liquid sparkled with gold, and the blood stains could not bury its brilliance. But it was undoubtedly in pieces, and several fragments were held in his hands, like a shattered full moon.
Garuda suddenly clenched his hand so hard that it was completely crushed into powder. Golden powder mixed with more blood fell down. The flowing liquid glowed with little pearls, like some kind of expensive and beautiful powder.
Qi Huan calmed down and asked again: "Where is he?"
"Come here!"
After Liu Shenghan was put down by Aoyan, he limped to the other direction. She seemed to have discovered something and suddenly shouted to them. So Qi Huan and Ao Yan left the sacred bird who had lost his divine power and went to Sheng Han's place. Something abruptly broke out of the pile of stones in front of Liu Shenghan. She took a few steps back and was almost injured by the flow of stones. Many stones were melted, glowing sticky lava flowed along the piles of stones, and the surrounding ground was burned black.
Lingge struggled to crawl out and crawled towards Garuda.
Qi Huan did not stop her. He endured the heat and climbed up the relatively clean slope, followed closely by Jun Aoyan. They saw Bai Ya motionless in the sunken pit. His clothes were in tatters, and his skin was covered with armor condensed with blood and ash.
"I'm still alive, okay..."
Aoyan breathed a sigh of relief, but did not dare to relax completely. He was probably thrown directly to the ground, and as he fell, he protected himself with simple movements and spiritual power. Even in his unconscious state, he still held the scimitar tightly in his hands. Qi Huan couldn't lift him and tried to spread his hands to reduce the weight. Bai Ya suddenly coughed violently and regained his consciousness instantly. He clenched his hands tighter and pushed Qi Huan hard at the same time.
"Let me go, your body is really strong!"
He coughed hard several times, and some blood came up. He casually wiped the blood from his face and said with a red mouth:
"You - cough, huh... cough, you really have to worry about me all the time..."
"Don't spit on others!"
"Pooh."
With that said, Bai Ya spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Did you break the Ruyi Pearl?" Aoyan asked.
"I had no choice."
"No, I'm not blaming you...that's all, let's go out first."
When they helped each other and stood in front of the scarred two people again, a terrifying silence filled the empty night with the yellow sand. Occasionally, there is the sound of rolling stones falling from nowhere. After a while, silence will return.
The previously towering mountain peaks and magnificent temples were gone. No one thought that everything would collapse into endless ruins overnight. Many monsters have disappeared, and they are all buried under the ruins or falling deeper into the mountain streams. The first residents were just two people who were in dire straits and relied on each other.
"Half-demon..."
Bai Ya staggered a step forward, stuck the black scimitar on the ground, straightened up, and looked down at them condescendingly. Even after hearing these two words, the two of them had no reaction. Perhaps they didn't even have the strength to refute.
"...Half-demon - you are all."
"What?"
Others suspected they had heard wrongly. Especially Qi Huan, the word "unbelievable" is written on his face.
"No, wait, you mean they are all half-demon? How is this possible?" He seemed to be trying to convince himself, "They are the most powerful...how can they all be half-demon? Don't they hate half-demon the most? Demon?"
"I felt strange from the beginning." Bai Ya pointed at Ling Ge's numb face with a white scimitar, "If she was ordered to be an enemy of us, she would have had several opportunities to attack us. But she didn't, because we were surrounded by There’s one more person.”
Aoyan was puzzled: "You mean Mingming?"
"She shouldn't be afraid of that half-demon, but she has never done anything to him..."
"She sympathizes with him." Liu Shenghan added.
"pity?"
"The empathy of being a half-demon." Bai Ya paused, and after briefly adjusting his breathing, he continued, "I confirmed this when fighting her in close combat... She hides very well, but as long as the distance is enough Even if you get too close, there will still be flaws. Her demonic aura is very turbid and not pure enough. Although I didn't detect the human aura, she is not a pure and complete demon. And I also noticed the pair of fans. There are about Without the power of Garuda, she would not be able to change back to her original form.”
Jun Aoyan suddenly realized: "Oh my god... I was wondering why she didn't go back when she fought with me. My mortal body cannot withstand the demon fire at all, and I am still afraid..."
Liu Shenghan said: "So if the Ruyi Pearl is broken, she has lost the source of her demon power and cannot maintain the form of a demon bird."
"Miss Ling, I really don't understand. Now, you must know that your beloved lord is also a 'lowly species' that he hates. Do you still plan to be so desperate? You must know that she is a half-demon——" Qi Huan turned to Garuda and asked, "Because you are too. But why do you have to protect her? Does she know that you...are a half-demon?"
Garuda did not answer, but he shook his head.
"Yes, so what? Yes, so what!"
Ling Ge's voice was trembling. Not out of fear, but out of anger.
"You are still stubborn, and we have nothing to say. But there is one more thing I would like to ask..." Jun Aoyan also took a step forward, "You can completely rely on your own power to establish an order belonging to the half-demon. This way you don't have to hide your identity. But you decide to judge half-demon as the lowest level existence. Why bother? If anyone questions, use your strength to speak and convince him. Why do you have to make such a fuss? "
Garuda opened his mouth slightly, and blood dried on his lips. His dusty hair no longer shines, and his gorgeous robes are in tatters. He paused for a while and finally spoke.
"You won't understand. A half-demon will not be convinced by anyone. You can trample all opponents under your feet and establish a more bloody order... But people's words are to be feared, even if the people in this area obey Without you, there will be endless rumors outside, troubles will come one after another, and there will be no peace at all. What's more, a god is neither a human nor a monster, and it is just a joke to tell it. For To exalt one party is to despise others—to despise everything.”
He is so calm.
"...I know. Maybe you are right, but we still can't agree." Jun Aoyan whispered.
“We don’t need anyone’s approval—and we don’t need anyone’s approval anymore.”
Garuda suddenly smiled, with a bit of fatigue and a hint of contempt that had never changed. And at that same moment, there was a mocking coldness between his brows, and he didn't know who he wanted to make fun of.
But soon, his expression softened again. He really accepted this result calmly.
"Kill or behead as you please. But... don't make it difficult for Kalingbinga. She is..."
"It's not that easy." Bai Ya suddenly interrupted him, let go of the hand holding the knife, and opened it towards him, "Where is the treasure? What is the treasure? Hand it over first."
Before Garuda could speak, Lingge suddenly stood up and pushed Bai Ya away with force. Bai Ya failed to stand firm and fell backwards in embarrassment. The others quickly supported him. Lingge stood in front of Garuda and opened his arms as if he was dead.
"You are dreaming! Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Bai Ya felt in a daze that what she opened was not two blood-stained arms, but a pair of bright red wings.
