The ancient city is located in a borderland, at the very edge of the human race. It covers a large area and has existed for a long time. It sounds great, but in fact no one wants to come.

It occupies a large area, but the resources and spiritual energy are very few. For a long time, no one has said that there are too many powerful characters, and even the most basic food cannot be adequately supplied.

There are generally two places to go to get food: one is to go out of the city and enter the territory of the orcs. This is the simplest and most efficient way, but it is expressly prohibited. Humans once entered there and died, and even provoked several behemoths.

In the ancient city, the city wall kept buzzing during that time, as if it was about to collapse. Thinking about it now makes people shudder.

Therefore, there is only the second option left. After leaving the ancient city and walking north for about a month, there is a mountain range where there is sufficient spiritual energy and a large number of beasts gathered to meet people's needs.

There are many people complaining about this, but very few have left. The people living here have experienced several ancestors at least, and are deeply rooted. Besides, it is not easy to leave the wilderness, otherwise no one would be willing to stay here.

inside?

These are what my mother and I heard from others. We were not walking with others and deliberately avoided them. We didn’t know until we walked this road how many people were going to that mountain range. It was impossible to avoid them.

, there were humans everywhere, and there were even one or two who patted my mother on the shoulder. After seeing her appearance, her expression changed and she hurried away. I turned a blind eye to this kind of thing and was very interested in everything else.

, walking for a while and stopping for a while, a rock, a handful of stones, a small tree can all make me exclaim.

"It turns out that humans also have these things, so this road will be much easier to walk."

Mother nodded and said nothing. Ever since she came out of the ancient city, she had often looked around, looking thoughtful.

"What are you thinking about?" I widened my eyes and threw myself into her arms with a puzzled look on my face.

"I'm lost in thought." My mother then turned her attention to me, picked me up, put me on her back, and strode forward.

"Forget it if you don't tell me." I snorted coldly and tilted my head to one side. Of course I didn't believe this. The possibility of my mother being distracted was much smaller than the possibility of being injured. She must be lying. Whether it's to animals or humans.

, she is very good at lying. She was like that in front of the guards half a year ago. Fortunately, I can hear her lies every time.

"The aura here is much weaker." My mother said with a smile. She probably thought I was angry, so she said something to distract me, so I wasn't so stingy.

"Yeah." I turned my head over again, looking a little unhappy, and continued: "It has nothing to do with us anyway, and we can't practice."

Almost all the creatures on this land are working hard for cultivation. They spend a lot of time on absorbing spiritual energy, while I can only spend the extra time sleeping.

Since my transformation, I have been unable to sense the existence of spiritual energy at all, let alone absorb it. I might as well sleep more during those hours, after all, there is still a possibility of dreaming in my dreams.

My mother can sense spiritual energy, but cannot absorb it. I always think it is because she is disrespectful to heaven, but she said that she is probably too stupid, and the spiritual energy does not want to enter her body. God, that bastard dares to target me, I don't

Beat him to death.

"I wanted to find a few spiritual herbs to take with me. Maybe I could exchange them for something at a critical moment, but I couldn't find them after searching for a long time."

I only learned this recently. The humans and the beasts are different when it comes to replacing things. The beasts exchange things for things, while the humans exchange things for "bones" and then exchange things again. One more step means countless more things.

It’s all trouble. If you sell a spiritual grass to a human being in need and then buy it back, isn’t this asking for trouble?

However, there are indeed advantages. The replaced "bone" is very small and can be carried around. This avoids the situation of dragging a bag that is taller than oneself like half a year ago. It seems that it is necessary to find a few plants.

"Put me down, I'm going to look for it too." Before my mother put me down, I had already broken free and ran forward quickly. When I came to my senses, my mother's shadow had long since disappeared.

Who cares, this kind of thing has happened countless times. When the time comes, find a secluded place to return to your original form, smell the smell, and then you can retrieve it.

"Lingcao Lingcao Lingcao..." I kept chanting these two words and looked around. There were a lot of grasses, but who knew what Lingcao looked like?

I have little interest in these, and suddenly I remembered the plant that my mother took out more than ten days ago. It was yellow and shriveled, just like ordinary grass. Only then did I understand that the reason why it is called spiritual grass is because it contains spiritual energy.

If you can't even feel the spiritual energy, it would be strange to find it!

"Now, even my mother has been lost..."

I was speechless for a while, and just as I was about to find a secret place where I wouldn't be discovered by humans, I suddenly heard slight footsteps behind me.

"Are you lost? My little friend." A man appeared quietly behind me. He was a human being!!

In the territory of the beast race, it is necessary to consider whether the visitor is a human or a beast, but in the territory of the human race, it is not necessary. The beast race in human form is extremely rare. This is 100% a genuine human race.

"ah!!"

I didn't care about anything, turned around, yelled and ran away. The man was stunned for a moment when he saw this, and then quickly followed me.

Are you really going to kill me? No, there are too few trees here and there is no place to hide.

"There is no one else..." I looked around, and there was only one human behind me. Running was not an option. Do you want to take another gamble? Reveal your true form and kill this human race. But what if you can't defeat it? My mother said that most of the people here are better than

I'm awesome.

I turned my head, but that person was still chasing after me. Killing intent suddenly appeared in my eyes, and I continued to run. When I met other people, the chance of survival became even smaller. Now I still have at least a small chance.

I didn't want to run anymore, I stopped suddenly, a huge force came from behind, and then my body rolled out and fell more than ten meters on the ground full of pebbles.

"Ah," the urgent human voice came from behind me. I just thought it was ridiculous. Are you so afraid that I would run away? Don't worry, I won't run away!

I gritted my teeth, struggled to stand up, and looked behind me, but the human figure was nowhere to be seen.

"Are you okay?" Suddenly a pair of hands grabbed me firmly and lifted me up. These hands were very similar to my mother's, but not as strong as hers.

I moved my feet wildly in the air, but I knew very well in my heart that he suddenly appeared in front of me, and he must have used some strange method. I couldn't defeat him, and when he showed his true form, it only hurt my mother.

I gradually stopped resisting. The worst case scenario was that if I died, I would die.

"Shuangxuan, what are you doing!" As soon as I had this idea, my mother's voice came to my ears. I followed the voice and saw that she was already behind me.

When the human saw my mother, he let me go.

"Mother!" I screamed and threw myself into her arms. This feeling of escaping from death made me feel happy from the bottom of my heart.

"Don't run around next time!"

"I want to find a spiritual grass to surprise you..." This is what I really thought. Seeing my mother's pale face, my heart sank. Tears burst out of my eyes instantly, and I kept sobbing. After a long time, I said intermittently: "I'll do it again."

I will never look for spiritual herbs again."

"Okay." My mother just nodded and stretched out her hand to touch my forehead again and again. It was full of blood stains, as were both hands.

"Does it hurt?" she asked.

"It doesn't hurt." I shook my head and clapped my hands together to wipe away all the pebbles from the remaining wounds.

At the same time, the human behind me walked up to me, held my hand unceremoniously, and said: "It's more numb than painful. When I was a kid, I used to run around like you, and this kind of thing happened a lot."

It happened, it’s nothing serious, it will be fine after a while.”

"Don't touch me!!" I suddenly retracted my hand and hid behind my mother.

"Are you his mother?"

"Yes." My mother nodded, seemingly calmly, but I could feel the murderous intention deep in her heart.

The man obviously didn't notice, and continued: "I just heard him say that he lost his mother, so I wanted to help him. After all, there are a lot of dangers here. Fortunately, you found him, so I feel relieved."

I don't feel at ease with him by my side.

"Let's go, mother."

"...Okay." My mother hesitated for a moment, but she still nodded and led me to turn around and walk in the opposite direction.

I looked back from time to time and worried whether the human would follow me, but it turned out that I was overthinking it, and the moment we left, he also turned around and left.

After walking for a long time, we finally returned to the road used by humans. I suddenly remembered that the person I met just now was the first person today who saw my mother and was not scared away.

"Mom, that human race just now seemed..." Before I could say what I was thinking, my mother showed a smile.

"In the eyes of humans, I am the same as the monster you call me, so it is normal to hide away when you see me, but he did not hide away. No matter what he thought in his heart, at least it is certain that on this point,

He's a good man."

"What is a good person?"

"He's just a pretty good human being. We don't have to rush to escape when facing him."

"But mother, you said that human beings are very evil. Human beings have so many shortcomings. How can they be good?"

I really don’t understand. People eat meat and we eat meat, but what they eat is our meat. Why?

"I'm talking about appearance, not other aspects. In my eyes, people are always the most dangerous. He doesn't know our identity, otherwise it is very likely to have another result."

Another result is that the mother gets angry and kills him. I thought of this when I felt my mother's murderous intention before.

I finally calmed down and asked, "Who is better, me or the human just now?"

"In terms of appearance, you are not as good as him." My mother did not hesitate. In fact, I had already guessed this answer, but for some reason I just couldn't remember the reason. It seemed like I had made a similar choice a long time ago.

That time, I made the wrong choice.

I sighed, let go of my mother's hand and ran to a rock not far away. Soon a feeling of sleepiness came over me. I closed my eyes slightly and whispered: "It's a little late, let's rest."

"Shuangxuan, I'm very happy that you can ask this..."
