We were getting closer and closer to the city gate, but our footsteps became heavier and heavier. I don't know what my mother was thinking, but my heart was already beating wildly.

I could clearly see the guards standing at the city gate. There were hundreds of them. Everything about them seemed extremely strange to me. Even the clothes they were wearing were things I had never seen before. I used

They looked at them with strange eyes, and they seemed to look at my mother and me with puzzled eyes.

"Don't talk, just walk in." Mother opened her mouth and whispered.

"Well," I lowered my head and passed by those humans, secretly chuckling that they didn't even move, and it seemed like they didn't take us seriously at all.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but speed up my steps. My mother's steps also speeded up a lot unconsciously, but she still couldn't keep up with mine. I broke away from my mother's hand and ran over quickly.

"boom!"

I thought I could pass through unimpeded, but was blocked by a light curtain that appeared inexplicably. I hit the light screen hard, and blood flowed down my forehead to the bridge of my nose.

"Shuangxuan, how are you?" Upon seeing this, my mother hurriedly ran to me, not even paying attention to the bag containing the food, and threw it outside, letting the rain soak.

"It's okay." This kind of injury is not a big deal. When hunting, it is often more serious than this. But what is this thing that appears out of thin air?

I put my eyes on the thin layer, then raised my hand and touched it gently, but I couldn't see my mother's pale face at all.

"Where are your ID tags?" A human voice suddenly came from behind me, and I was immediately frightened. If my mother hadn't suddenly held me in her arms, I would have screamed and ran out.

"It fell." My mother still hugged me, but she said these two words. I struggled to squeeze out a little space and looked up at her.

"Falled?" The guard looked at my mother with an even stranger look. My mother had her back turned to him and couldn't see his expression, but I could see it clearly. It was like sizing up prey.

"What's going on?" Another guard came over and asked the first guard.

"Ah, it's okay. Their ID tags fell off and they can't get in."

"If you lose your ID badge, just ask someone you know to pick it up. It's not a big deal." The second guard said, and then turned around and returned to his post.

The first guard obviously wanted to say something else. After seeing him return to his post, he gave up. Then he walked towards the bag that was placed in the rain, opened it and looked at it for a few times, then came back, looked at us with an even weirder look, and asked:

"You are scavengers? No wonder you are dressed so strangely."

Scavengers are people who pick up things here and there to make a living. They are the lowest existence in the ancient city, just like unfashionable ant beasts.

I had no idea what that person was talking about. Even though he was asking about us, he immediately confirmed himself. So why did he ask us?

"Yes." My mother still responded. I knew what she was thinking. I didn't know anything anyway, so I was just talking nonsense.

After hearing his mother's answer, the guard felt dizzy. If he picked up the items, he would have no family. No matter where they go, they are a family. How can they ask someone to pick them up?

"Hey, come here." He called the man who had just returned to his post over again, and then they whispered to each other without knowing what to say.

The two humans discussed for a while and then walked together behind their mother.

"Turn around and look at me." It was the voice of the second guard. His tone was very similar to mine last night.

"He's angry..." I whispered into my mother's ear. My mother didn't speak and her arms around me gradually relaxed.

"Hurry up!" Before my mother completely let go of me, the guard lost his temper. He grabbed my mother's hair and pulled her back hard. My mother fell down instantly. I also leaned forward and fell on top of my mother.

On the body.

"Mother...wuwu..."

I could no longer hold back the fear in my heart, so I crawled on my mother's body and cried bitterly. The thought of protecting my mother had long since dissipated from the fear of human beings. Just like in the ice rain before, I couldn't do anything, and this time I couldn't even do it.

I don't even dare to roar.

"It's okay... don't cry." My mother sat on the ground and helped me up, gently wiped away the tears and blood stains from the corners of my eyes, then stood up and carried me on her back, looking straight at the two guards.

"What are you looking at, you idiot!" It was still the same angry voice, and it was still the second guard.

"Okay, don't be angry. I asked you to do a favor but it caused trouble. I'll handle it here. Just stand back." It was the first person. While speaking, he had already pushed and pushed the second guard.

Push him to his rightful place.

His words sounded a lot louder to my ears, but they were still the disgusting sounds of human beings.

"I'll take you in," the first guard came over again, dragging our food behind him. He stopped in front of me and stretched out his hand to hold my mother, who kept holding me, and then he walked straight to

In front of the light curtain, I thought I would be pushed away again, but I walked in easily.

The guard let go of his mother and sighed: "I didn't plan to let you in originally, but forget it. It's not easy for you."

"Thank you." Mother said, and the guard just nodded, then turned around and passed through the light curtain again. He couldn't even see his figure, and there was clearly nothing in between.

You can't see what's going on outside in the ancient city.

That light curtain should be made of spiritual power, probably using some method, but at this moment I don't have time to think about that, there are countless things waiting for me to explore in front of me.

"Wow..." Just one glance, and I saw many more strange and weird things than I had been searching for for several years. I probably understood why my mother insisted on taking this path.

"Remember, this is the territory of the human race." Mother finally said, dragging the bag behind her with one hand and holding me with the other.

My mother's words knocked me from the sky to the ground. I thought about the guard who had just attacked my mother, and what she said outside the city. I also don't remember who said it, but I still remember a few words:

"Starting from the ancient city, it is the territory of the human race. I don't know what path you want to take, but it is the only way to continue moving forward."

I was blinded by the unknown, mistakenly thinking that it was a beautiful existence, but I forgot that this is a place that all beasts are afraid of. If you want to survive, you must see through its essence. There is no beauty here as imagined, and there is rot everywhere.

It's a mistake for smelly humans to take another step in a place like this.

Thinking of this, I stopped taking steps. Because of my mother's expectations, I couldn't take any steps back. I just stood in the crowd. People around me cast disgusted looks and sneered before I even got close. This is a realistic scene.

It will probably take me a long time to get used to them.

"Mom, let's go there." I pointed to a corner where I could take shelter from the rain. Before my mother could respond, she swayed over like a zombie.

"Okay~" Looking at my back, my mother finally showed her first smile in human territory.

"By the way, that's the place where you should go to pick up things. Don't squeeze in the crowd if you have nothing to do. It's disgusting. Is there a clean place all over your body? It's not embarrassing!"

"I told you not to walk around on rainy days because you would encounter garbage, but you didn't listen."

"Father, those two people are so pitiful..."

"There are so many pitiful things in the world. Stop looking at them and leave quickly."

Staying quietly in the corner, not paying attention, I now know what the so-called scavenging is. In their mouths, my mother and I are just things. According to my mother, it is a stone, a piece of wood, a bone...these are called things.

.

I don't need to be angry, I have more to learn.

"Are you still leaving?" My mother, sitting next to me, asked dully.

"I won't leave for now," I replied, but my eyes kept looking at the people passing by, with murderous intent rising from deep inside.

"Then this is our next 'cave'~" Mother stood up and stretched, then looked around for a while, then took out the contents of the bag one by one, saying a few words from time to time.

"Ah, the firewood is wet. It looks like it's going to be cold again at night."

"The food will last for a long time, but I will be hungry these days. It will be delicious after the rain stops and it dries."

This rain lasted for two days, and I was wondering whether the rain, which the beast hated, was too frequent, or whether the human race was an ominous place.

"They all look weak. If they reveal themselves, can they have a good meal?"

"Shuangxuan, remember what I told you."

"I won't eat the beings in human form..." Of course people are included in this, so I curled my lips and said, "Then I'll just kill them, not eat them."

If I eat the putrid corpse, my body will also smell rotten.

"You'd better eat this," my mother tore off a piece of meat that had been deformed by the rain, stuffed it into my mouth, then ate a piece herself, and continued: "It won't make waves if you show your true form here.

Most of these humans are better than you."

"Can't even defeat those who smell rancid?"

"Can't beat it."

I seem to be a little too weak, and will get weaker. There is no prey to be found here, and I lack the most basic training. I need to adapt faster and start from what I already know.

How big is this city? I tried to leave the "nest" and walk farther away day after day, ten meters, one hundred meters, two hundred meters... The farther I walked, the more I saw,

The more I learned about it, the more I gradually felt a longing for it that I had not seen for a long time.

I have no interest in human beings at all. What I long for is their land.

"I'm back."

"Ah, Shuangxuan is back. Where did he go today?"

"To the east, I saw a lot of people together there. Some people said they were going to hunt. It was in the opposite direction to us. I probably remember the road. Do you want to go and see it together?"

"Are you coming back?"

"Not coming back."

"That's it..."

Half a year later, I knew a little about this city. There was very little food left, and it smelled bad in the humid environment, making it difficult to eat.

It's time to move on, the ancient city is just the beginning.

I have only done one thing in the past six months, which is to get used to being surrounded by putrid humans, and to blend in as much as possible. The former is barely possible, but the latter still needs to be tried.

"Then you don't want any of these?" Mother looked at the 'cave' she had made with her own hands. After such a long period of improvement, it seemed that it was of no use...

Firewood can be found everywhere in this city, as can stones and bones, which are of no use at all. Things that can be seen everywhere outside are worthless in human territory.

"Forget it, no more..." Mother used a rare tone of disgust, turned around and rummaged in the messy corner for a long time, and finally took out a spiritual grass from nowhere, and then felt disappointed. This spiritual grass had long lost its aura.

It's of no use either.

"Let's go." My mother's face was full of disappointment. I didn't know what to say. I told her half a year ago that these things were useless, but the method was wrong.

I strode forward, and when I looked back, my eyes happened to fall on a set of sheepskin clothes. Then I hurried back and took it out, hugged it in my arms, and said with a smile, "I want this more."

"It's so ugly," the mother shook her head. Although she was in a corner, she had still seen countless beautiful clothes on humans in the past six months, and there was no comparison between what she made and those.

"No matter how ugly it is!" I turned my head and ran forward, shouting, dragging the piece of clothing.

People passing by still look at me with disgust, still sneer at me, or kick rocks away to express their feelings, but so what? I am standing here, and they can only do things to deceive themselves. In the final analysis
