Buzz buzz.
Different from the huge movement in the battlefield that was turned upside down, in the underground pit, the sand and mud trembled and fell silently.
Those rock-solid rock mines quietly cracked under the suppression of inexplicable pressure.
Then, there were a few soft pops and turned into gravel.
The gravel cracked again.
With the sound of chi chi, make powder again.
"What am I doing?"
Xu Xiaoshou's eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the eight-winged red double dragon python that was completely crushed in the battlefield.
No.
That's not the Red Double Dragon Python.
That's caramel candy!
Just caramel candy.
After all, this woman doesn't have much in common with herself.
Xu Xiaoshou felt that he was worried just out of sympathy for the weak.
But……
Where's Xingugu?
Just now, using his "perception" to survey the whole process, he could only watch the four tauren rushing towards the storyteller and being destroyed directly in the black hole debris.
That's not just a ghost beast, a tauren!
That's Xin Gugu!
"call!"
Xu Xiaoshou felt that his breathing was a little short.
"What am I doing?"
Ask yourself this question again.
Covering his forehead, his hands were covered in cold sweat, Xu Xiaoshou was stunned.
"died?"
"They're all going to die?!"
Looking at the sweat stains in his withered palms, Xu Xiaoshou didn't even notice that the chicken sword he was holding tightly was curled up in pain, and he was completely lost.
"Xingugu, are you dead?"
"And I...what am I doing?"
Xu Xiaoshou stopped and suddenly held the soil on both sides with his hands.
Raising his head, he realized that he had passed through the blood sea barrier summoned by Xin Gugu from the deep pit underground.
All it takes is one final step to break out of the ground.
"No, no, it can't be..."
"Saint Slave, that's 'Saint Slave'!"
"Xu Yue Gray Palace, that's 'Xu Yue Gray Palace'!"
"This is a war between a group of Dao-killing-level bosses. If I go, what can I do?"
Xu Xiaoshou pinched his own hand and tried to calm down.
"If nothing else, even if you completely abandon the storyteller and the ghost beasts, what about the other side?"
Dozens of people in red clothes, like him, were watching the fire from the other side of the battlefield, waiting for opportunities.
"They are all dressed in red, and there is also Vigil, Lan Ling, Yu Zhiwen, and the Sealing Heaven Formation."
"I'm a little congenital ant, what am I thinking?"
"go out?"
His red eyes were full of primitive desire to destroy, and Xu Xiaoshou's breathing became more and more rapid.
"call!"
"call!"
"call……"
He grabbed a handful of dirt and rubbed his cheek hard.
Even in the ravines and wrinkles on the old face, he was completely unaware of the pain caused by the huge force that broke the skin and embedded it in the sand and gravel, and allowed his face to bleed and repair.
"Buzz buzz."
Ji Jian was desperately suppressing his screams.
His fear at this moment was not at all due to Xu Xiaoshou's huge force that almost strangled him to death, but because of the demon king's crazy-like emotions.
What's wrong with this guy?
Twitching, twitching?
"Being feared, passive value, +1."
Xu Xiaoshou gasped for air.
"Can't go out, can't go out."
"What can I do?"
"The most I can do is let Ajie go, and then watch Ajie be maimed, beaten to death, and then his identity exposed."
"In the end, he was beaten to death by the shameful and angry storyteller and the red-coated man!"
"What can I do?"
"I have a 'Passive Fist' that can blow me up seriously, leaving half of my body intact. I can beg others on the battlefield not to kill me?"
"What can I do..."
Xu Xiaoshou murmured to himself, asking and answering questions: "I can't get anything!"
"If I go out now, I will die!"
"But……"
Watching Caramel Candy swallow the ghost beast bead that knows the outcome without any scruples, and fight for Xin Gugu wholeheartedly.
"And me?"
Xu Xiaoshou's spirit went blank.
An idea suddenly came to his mind.
Hiding in the ground like this, even if he actually survives in the end...
Living for what?
"For yourself?"
"For selfish reasons?"
Xu Xiaoshou clutched his heart, and there was a trace of confusion in his bloodshot eyes.
In the past, he might have really only lived for himself.
No one can say that I can live for the world despite being terminally ill and having a lifetime of experience.
Xu Xiaoshou couldn't do it either.
The battle for hegemony, the assassination on a rainy night, the Tianxuan Gate in the inner courtyard, and the city lord's palace framed Zhang Taiying as a ghost beast...
When did Xu Xiaoshou not live for himself?
But along the way, he found that he had changed.
Everyone will grow.
No one can really live "just" for themselves!
only!
The moment when the black hole shattered Xingugu and blood rained down from the sky.
The picture that appeared in front of Xu Xiaoshou was the scene where two people who were supposed to have no connection met for the first time.
At the door of Duojin Trading Company, the guy was hiding behind Caramel Candy.
I have forgotten the conversation I had with myself.
Maybe, he just choked out a few words, and he was just a passer-by that no one would remember.
But why, this scene...
Xu Xiaoshou held his head and lowered his head to hide it.
Even so, the images in front of him are still playing in turn.
After being comatose at the hands of Red Dog, the first thing he saw when he woke up was the man lying on his bed drooling.
The person who was always on the front line during the night attack on Zhang Mansion.
Under the virtual image of Zhang Taiying in the city lord's palace, the man who turned into a ghost beast and climbed on top without saying a word...
"Xin Gugu, what are you living for?"
"And for yourself?"
Xu Xiaoshou scoffed.
He thought this answer was ridiculous.
A discerning person will see that he is wrong.
Suddenly a flower appeared in front of him, and the envy flashed in Xin Gugu's eyes when he bought the large manor in Tiansang City while holding the gold card.
"If possible, reserve a room..."
Bang.
In the underground pit, the mud and rocks from all directions suddenly exploded with a dull sound, and then were suppressed by inexplicable pressure, and were firmly embedded in the mud layer.
Xu Xiaoshou burst into tears.
He didn't understand what Xin Gugu was living for and what he was working so hard for.
This kind of problem...
Maybe, even the guy himself doesn’t know!
But suddenly for a moment, I could feel the same way again.
"If it weren't for those brutal ghost beasts, there would be no red clothes who like genocide."
"And if there weren't those cruel red-coated beasts, these ghost beasts who don't know why they live would not have to fight for hatred."
"if……"
No if!
Xu Xiaoshou suddenly stopped thinking.
The reality is so cruel.
What if... can never exist.
But those vicious cycles of cause and effect are left everywhere!
People are not stupid.
Everyone knows that they are already deeply trapped in the chess game. The more they struggle, the tighter they will be bound by the outside world.
But if you don’t struggle, you will die.
In this kind of action that leads to bad consequences, does it matter what we live for?
It's already good to be alive.
"That's not right!"
"This world is deformed, isn't it?"
Xu Xiaoshou suddenly understood everything he longed for and was trying to pursue.
It’s not a very complicated thing to live for, it’s just two simple and pure words:
"free!"
Just like the bird in the cage longing to get out of the cage, the fish in the pond trying to jump into the air, the tiger in the mountain trying to get out of the forest...
Freedom, no reason.
But freedom is simple to say, but every step you want to take is restricted.
In the battle between trapped beasts, how to break out of the cage?
When everything in destiny is arranged properly, and everyone is like a chariot, horse and artilleryman who is given the rules of advancement from birth, freedom is easier said than done.
There was a thud.
Xu Xiaoshou collapsed on the ground, letting the soil above his head bury him.
He understood that what he had been fighting for, rejecting, and pursuing... was nothing more than freedom!
Vigil, holy slaves, including ghost beasts...
Every big figure and powerful force that has extended an olive branch to him, everyone's approval seems to be saying, "You, Xu Xiaoshou, are the strongest and have the most potential, join us!"
but?
"I can't do anything!"
Xingugugu, caramel candy...
Under the pressure of the storyteller, one after another, it seems that they can be called friends, but he can only watch them die in front of his eyes.
Xu Xiaoshou, who had witnessed everything... was helpless!
It has potential, but what’s the use?
Everyone knows that Xu Xiaoshou is out now.
There is nothing you can do but die.
But, just because of this, should we choose to continue to live in it?
"Alive..."
"hehe!"
Xu Xiaoshou laughed at himself.
The soil around him was obviously supported by the spirit element, opening up a spherical living space.
But at this moment, the mud and rocks are still falling in large chunks, like a small earthquake.
Xu Xiaoshou felt that even the earth was laughing at him.
He lowered his head, looked at the chicken sword that was deformed by his grip, and loosened his grip.
"Sorry, I forgot about you."
Xu Xiaoji whined desperately, as if he wanted to make some noise, but the sword was shaking wildly and he couldn't speak at all.
"Being feared, passive value, +1."
"Being feared, passive value, +1."
"..."
Xu Xiaoshou looked at the information column and laughed.
He knew that Xu Xiaoji was afraid of him, but he didn't expect that this guy would be so afraid.
As for that?
"Chicken..."
"I remember your name, it seems I gave it to you, right?"
Xu Xiaoshou felt like he was watching a movie, and suddenly there was a funny scene outside the city lord's mansion, where this guy was desperately calling him brother.
"woo woo woo woo."
Big chunks of soil shook off.
The ground trembled slightly, and fine lines were cracking.
"Being feared, passive value, +1."
"Requested, passive value, +1."
"not talking?"
Xu Xiaoshou glanced at the information column again, request?
He smiled bitterly, raised the chicken sword, and inserted it into the ground.
"Snapped!"
The chicken sword was like a bent straw, snapping directly to the ground.
"Soft?"
"Am I that terrible?"
Xu Xiaoshou was startled for a moment, seemed to have thought of something, and said: "Don't be afraid, I had a plan before, you should have heard it, the storyteller and I have exactly the same idea."
Xu Xiaoji's incarnation has four swords, which is too similar to the real four swords.
As long as the battle reaches a critical moment, everyone will explode with all their strength and will not rely on the extra power of the four swords.
The storyteller will give himself four swords. After switching the bags, no one will be able to detect them.
but……
Xu Xiaoshou talked to himself and sighed.
"But living like this is really meaningless."
"At any rate, you've been following me for so long. Just think about it."
"Now……"
Xu Xiaoshou raised his eyes and glanced at the tragic scenes in the battle, "I really can't do such a thing."
"do you think so?"
"woo woo woo woo……"
"Being feared, passive value, +1."
"Requested, passive value, +1."
"ill!"
Xu Xiaoshou rolled his eyes and took the chicken sword again.
"Become a straw hat."
"Woooo..."
Can't change.
Xu Xiaoji was about to cry.
This is how the same thing?
Why is it that this small pit seems to be blessed with hundreds of times gravity?
I can't even stand up, how can I turn it into a straw hat for you?
"forget about it."
Xu Xiaoshou clenched the chicken sword tightly and raised his eyes suddenly.
The light and shadow in the picture in front of me are passing by, as if the chaotic time and space have been restored, and the soul talking to myself has returned to the body.
…
"Second brother, take the sword!"
Between the lightning and flint, within the battle, the storyteller's unscrupulous voice finally came through.
at the same time.
There is also a fierce sword flying through the air, followed by the eyes of many people in red!
Xu Xiaoshou cleared away his confusion at a glance, broke out of the ground, and grabbed four swords.
There is no Lingyuan compartment.
No more worries.
hold.
Just really hold it!
The suppressed emotions that had been completely concentrated in the underground pits suddenly burst out like a mountain torrent breaking a dam when the sun came out again.
"free……"
Xu Xiaoshou shivered and took a deep breath of the dusty breath full of battle remnants.
It is different from the darkness underground.
It's different from that cramped and small space.
The sky and flying are the simplest freedom that everyone yearns for.
Watching in the dark for too long.
It took so long that Xu Xiaoshou numbed himself, and he only thought about the so-called survival.
But he clearly knew it.
The so-called upper thigh is really going to leave the ancient book space. How can I escape?
There is no way!
All strategies that do not think about the results are just self-deception based on fear of the unknown.
If you can survive, you can survive.
If you can't live, this is your fate!
Then after the dark silence, like the free Cheng Xingchu, he should bloom his own highlight moment.
Destiny sometimes lies in not compromising, in the ray of surprise and turning point that appears in resistance.
"free……"
The moment he held the Yousi sword, Xu Xiaoshou suddenly realized that nothing mattered anymore.
This sick world is not worthy of much thought.
When everyone is fighting for the top, if there is nothing you can do, then hold on to the Four Swords and stand at the top!
"Rumble--"
Xu Xiaoshou did not dare to say how powerful Qi Swallowing Mountains and Rivers could be, which had been stored up for an entire war.
The large black hole above Lijian Grassland has been repaired, and the space has been restored to its original state with the truce between the Storyteller and the Red Twin Dragon Python.
But the moment Xu Xiaoshou's aura exploded, the space collapsed again and the earth was destroyed again within a radius of several miles.
The black hole spreads and the path is chaotic.
A small ancient book space has already endured too many injuries.
At this moment, it looked even more like it was about to completely collapse, the mountains and rivers changed color, the sky was dark and the earth was dark.
"free……"
Xu Xiaoshou groaned, magic patterns wrapped around his body, and four swords slanted in the air.
"Fight! There is no reason!"
