AWB Chapter 267 Sorry
Chapter 267 Sorry
The traveler came from afar, wandering in the mountains and forests with light steps. He raised his eyes from time to time, and looked around as if he was feeling a little emotional.
The sun hanging high in the sky gradually set, leaving only flaming clouds burning on the horizon. Darkness slowly eroded the sky and enveloped the entire world again.
The long-distance traveler seemed to have arrived at his next destination. A gentle smile appeared on his handsome face, and his emerald eyes looked at the dazed person under the tree.
Pure breath of life emanated from her body, but compared to when she was first born, the withering of winter had also brought serious negative effects to this mountain elf. Her breath became weaker, as if it would disappear in the next second.
The traveler wiped the snowflakes off the brim of his hat and strolled to her side. He seemed to be very familiar with her. He swept away the snow next to the maple frost, then sat down, leaned his back against the big tree, raised his head and looked at the bright night sky.
The traveler's movements were not light, but Feng Shuang beside him did not react at all. He remained curled up with his head lowered between his legs.
"Do you regret it?"
The traveler spoke softly, as if with some emotion, and asked her.
The girl remained stunned for a long time without any reaction, as if the life that existed here had long since disappeared, and only this body remained.
"Yeah, how could I not regret it?"
The traveler spoke again, but he didn't look at Feng Shuang, nor did he care about her reaction. It was as if he was talking to himself, asking and answering his own questions.
"Are you really satisfied with this ending?"
"..."
"You won't be satisfied, will you?"
The curled-up girl's skinny body suddenly trembled as if she had been electrocuted.
"But what can we do?"
The traveler said with a smile.
"There's no way, is there?"
"..."
"You did your best, didn't you?"
"I've tried my best just to stay alive."
"But I never imagined that the continuation of life would require the sacrifice of the most precious thing."
The traveler looked at Feng Shuang, and the smile on his lips made people feel cold in their hearts.
Stimulated by his words, Feng Shuang gradually raised her head. The tears in the corners of her eyes had long dried up, and her pupils were full of scarlet bloodshot. Her lonely expression gradually turned into anger, and she was about to choose someone to bite.
She looked at the traveler fiercely, as if he had touched something that must not be touched, and even if she just saw it, she would fight to the death.
The smile on the traveler's lips deepened, and his emerald green eyes seemed to have seen through her heart long ago. He rudely crushed her disguised self-comfort and put the cruel reality in front of her.
"Don't you understand yet?"
“Everything that changes has a price.”
"If you want to exchange lives, you naturally need to sacrifice your life."
"Even the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan is no exception."
The thin girl was controlled by anger, as if an invisible fire was burning behind her. Her thin body was pulled up from the ground, and the long posture made her bones make crisp sounds. She stretched out her hands twisted and stiffly, like a ghost from hell.
There was a violent tremor in the dense forest. The seeds hidden deep in the ground were violently stimulated and took root and sprouted. However, before they broke through the ground, the remaining vitality in their bodies was plundered by invisible hands, and the tree trunks deep in the ground that absorbed nutrients became withered.
Twisted, sickening green flooded her body, rough lines grew from her body, dark branches sprouted from behind her, and the breath of life that originally emanated now made people feel terrified.
The tree demon's assimilation did not disappear, but instead merged together.
As mountain elves, the existence of the evolution of the life breath of trees, in addition to their own regulatory cycles, also represents the vengeful evil spirits after the cycle is destroyed. If someone wants to destroy the structure and cycle between the trees, then the mountain ghosts born from the mountains are the solution to this problem. The pure life breath will also turn into the most vicious curse under self-mobilization.
A power that almost surpassed the seventh level was manifested here. The ground cracked, and all things withered. Vicious resentment emanated from Feng Shuang's body, infecting everything, but the traveler next to him just glanced at it lightly.
"They are afraid to face the facts, unable to accept reality, unwilling to start over and find solutions, and just blindly vent their anger on others."
"Is this what you want?"
"He gave up his life for you, burned in the flames, and transformed his life and soul into nutrients to nourish your body. All he did was pray that you could live well."
"But what about now?" The traveler's words were like a sharp knife, piercing Feng Shuang's heart fiercely. Her twisted expression suddenly stopped, and the operation under the control of spiritual energy also disappeared at this moment. She seemed to have seen something extremely terrifying. She took a few steps back involuntarily and fell into the snow. Dark green blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. She covered her eyes, not daring to look, nor daring to think. The tears that had dried up surged again, but nothing could flow out. Only the tiny cry echoed in the woods.
"sorry……."
……
In the blank world, Baishui and Zhao Ruoxi sat quietly on the ground. Various pictures floated in the mist in front of them: goats devouring the snow in the snowdrifts, the water flowing under the lake, crows soaring in the sky, and a lonely figure under a big tree.
They were like spectators, staring at everyone else's every move.
I don't know when I came here.
Bai Shui sat in Zhao Ruoxi's arms, looking at everything in the mist, and asked curiously.
"Where are we?"
"Why aren't they here?"
Zhao Ruoxi behind him hummed a ballad softly, as if she had escaped from the world and arrived here. The melancholy in her heart also dissipated. Hearing Bai Shui's question, Zhao Ruoxi said playfully: "The rest of the world does not belong to us, so we are excluded."
"what?"
The sudden change once again stunned Bai Shui. She turned her head and looked at Zhao Ruoxi in confusion.
"What does it mean?"
After spending so much time together, Zhao Ruoxi seemed to have already realized that Bai Shui knew almost nothing. The repeated explanations had greatly improved her ability to express herself. She smiled and said:
“That’s what it means.”
"Haven't you sensed it yet? The four seasons are controlled intentionally."
Baishui shook his head, indicating that he didn't notice anything.
Zhao Ruoxi watched her movements and gently pinched her chubby cheeks.
"If I'm not mistaken, the four seasons represent four emotions."
"The joy of spring, the frenzy of summer, the melancholy of autumn, and the despair of winter."
Zhao Ruoxi gently pulled Bai Shui's lips, making various shapes, very playful, but not using any force, teasing her gently.
The dazed Bai Shui didn't understand what this meant yet. She waited for Zhao Ruoxi's explanation with a puzzled look, completely forgetting Zhao Ruoxi's actions, her eyes full of curiosity.
