The sea is open to all rivers. I wonder if the leader here is really so bold.

Of course, it was just a casual sigh. I didn’t want to encounter such a dangerous beast. I fought for half my life and finally caught a beast when the sky was completely dark. Although it was not as powerful as the beast, I still accomplished what I promised my mother.

After walking for more than half a month, the surrounding environment finally began to change. The trees became obviously sparse. When I raised my head to rest at night, I could often see the yellow sand in the sky.

This is not a good sign. The next step will take some effort. My mother and I have not had food for more than ten days, and we have not even drunk water or nutritional supplements. My body has hardly improved, and the wounds are still there.

Repeatedly.

My mother said before that she might not be able to eat for dozens of days. I thought it was a joke, but I didn't expect it to be true.

"We passed through the windy and sandy area in front of us and walked out of the Baichuan Mountains. Haven't you been clamoring to go out? Why are you unhappy?"

This situation made me happy. I would rather stay in the mountains. But there was no point in complaining. I took the lead in taking that step.

The moment I took my first step, a gust of wind and sand hit me. I was almost blown to the ground. I managed to adjust myself with the help of my mother.

"How's it going?" Mother held my hand and led the way.

"Bah!" I kept spitting. I ate a mouthful of sand before eating the meat. There was also sand in my clothes. It was really troublesome.

Fortunately, it was not like Bingyu, which only lasted for two or three days. There was enough time in between for us to travel, and we gradually gained some experience.

It is the calmest when the sun first rises. Every time around that time, my mother and I would run one after another, stumbling and stopping, laughing like crazy people.

The wind and sand are the strongest at noon and early in the morning, which almost affects normal walking. My mother simply staggers the time of her journey to avoid these two time periods. It doesn't matter to me, the worst is to sleep less.

However, there are times when I can't find any experience. Occasionally, when the morning is supposed to be the calmest, a strong wind suddenly sweeps through. If we don't find a place to hide, then my mother and I may have traveled a few days in vain. It feels like despair.

Over a long period of time, there was nothing but sand under my clothes, and I don’t know how many scabs have been worn away. The sand directly covered the flesh and blood without any protection. Sometimes it really hurt my heart, but I gritted my teeth and persisted.

As I persisted again and again, I slowly lost consciousness. When I woke up, I found that my mother was carrying me on her back against the wind and sand. I no longer had the strength to move forward. I put my hands on my mother's chest, and the blood flowed along my fingers.

The sharp drops dripped down, some fell on her body, some fell on her face, and more were blown to unknown places before they even hit the ground.

"Mother…"

"Don't say anything. When you open your mouth, the sand will go into your mouth. Close your eyes and see if you can find a place later. I will help you treat the wound."

This tenderness is unique to her, it is what I expect, and it is what I am prepared to stick to.

I closed my eyes and fell asleep quickly. No matter how strong the wind and sand were, it could never blow down my mother's body.

When I woke up again, I was surprised to find that my mother had actually used the real body. Although it was not exactly the same size, it was still comparable to a big mountain, and I was in the center of the "mountain".

When she saw that I woke up, she didn't make much movement. She just said: "I didn't find a place to hide, so I can only use my true body. Really, I can't even compare to you. In order to make up for it, I will allow you to use my true body once in the future."

, of course, without humans knowing about it.”

Even my mother used her true form, so this area might be more dangerous than it appears.

I stood up staggeringly, endured the severe pain and took off my clothes, then revealed my true body with a roar.

"Then I'll use it now..."

After my true form emerged, I collapsed due to lack of support. This was also the first time I looked directly at my true form since I narrowly survived the mouth of the black-striped python two years ago.

"It's so ugly, haha!"

To describe me as "incomplete" is a compliment. In fact, I really wanted to say "monster", but I felt it was inappropriate, so I could only smile bitterly.

"This is a sign of bravery, but there is still a lack of consideration." My mother glanced at me, then leaned down to lick my wounds.

For once I agreed with her that it could have been done better.

A few hours later, the wind and sand became much lighter, and I regained some of my strength, so the two beasts ran wildly across the land. In just a few moments, they covered more distance than a human body could in a day.

This long-lost sense of pleasure makes me look forward to the day when I can use the main body at any time.

Maybe there will be that day, maybe not, it's all too far away. Anyway, today is the longest time I have used my body. My mother also allowed me to use it, saying that humans will not come here.

Indeed, based on my personal experience over so many days, there should not be many people who walk here after being full. There should be no more people like my mother and I who walked in without even eating.

Night is approaching, and wind and sand are blowing everywhere. Fortunately, we have already passed through that area, which means that where we are now is considered the end of the Baichuan Mountains.

It took me three years to get here starting from the ancient city, and this road was far more difficult than I imagined.

"Mother," I changed back into my human form. When she responded and asked me something, I didn't know what to say.

"It's okay, I was just shouting for fun."

"Double Mystery."

"how?"

"It's okay, I yelled and played too~"

I ignored her and strode forward. I had already smelled the smell of water not far away when I was still in my true form. I couldn't wait for it.

After walking forward for less than a quarter of an hour, I suddenly saw a large lake with a vague mist lingering on the lake. Regardless of whether there was any danger in the water, I grabbed my clothes with one hand and jumped in hastily.

The moment I entered the water, a biting chill spread throughout my body, sweeping away all my fatigue. This feeling was very familiar, but I couldn't place it in words.

At this moment, my mother walked up to me with the clothes, put the clothes aside neatly, and then walked down slowly.

“It’s so cold!”

When I heard these two words in her first sentence, I felt much better instantly.

I rinsed the clothes roughly a few times, then threw them on the shore, and deliberately covered them with my mother's clothes.

When she saw that her clothes were wet, she rushed to me with all her teeth and claws, picked me up, and I took the opportunity to break away and swim to the middle of the lake. After swimming for a distance, I didn't forget to look back and see her washing my clothes a little reluctantly.

It's full of sand and it's uncomfortable to wear. I do it for her own good.

My attention was all on my mother and I didn't pay attention to the situation in the center of the lake. It wasn't until I bumped into something that I was scared to death and turned around to look.

I saw a pair of eyes staring at me intently. I screamed, splashed in the water, and swam desperately toward my mother.

"Do not be afraid--"

How is it possible to not be afraid if you are not afraid?

It was already dark, and the moon here was quite big, but I couldn't see anything in my panic, which only made me more frightened.

"I have no ill intentions--"

I had almost swam to my mother's side, and I became more courageous, so I turned around, took a look, and shouted: "Are you from the human race?!"

She was speaking human language. Although it was a bit unbelievable, running away was definitely the wisest thing to do.

"I'm not a human, I'm a beast. You really don't have to be afraid. My brother asked me to come. I also want to meet the beast that saved me -"

When I returned to my mother, most of my fear had dissipated, leaving only the fear of the unknown.

The figure followed me closely and got closer to my mother, eventually keeping a distance of about five meters.

If she is a being with no good intentions, then she is too courageous. It seems that five meters is not enough for anything, but she still has enough self-confidence.

Does my mother always have to wait until I am almost dead before she plans to speak?

Finally, the mother spoke: "Shuangxuan, she is a beast. She should be with the beast who asked you for the beads before. You can believe it."

That annoying man? If so, it would be even more impossible to believe. He is probably seeking revenge.

Before I could tell her to go away, she came a lot closer, almost face to face with my mother, and said respectfully: "Greetings, senior."

After these words, she looked at me again, bowed slightly, and bowed respectfully: "There is no way I can repay the kindness of saving my life——"

I just don't understand what she means, what kind of life-saving grace, why don't I know.

After calming down, I finally saw her appearance clearly through the moonlight, her graceful figure, beautiful face, pale complexion, and a pair of particularly dazzling bright eyes. The most important thing is that she is standing on the water. What do I say?

It's always felt weird.

This is probably another traveler.

According to her own words, the man I met before was her brother. I remember that at that time he seemed to have said something like help, and with this added, I can boldly guess that she was the one who was rescued.

However, I was not willing to hand over the bead. I had no choice but to hand it over, so it cannot be considered a life-saving grace.

I told her exactly what I thought, and then I went back to the center of the lake, where the water was the most comfortable to soak in and the water was cooler to drink.

Before I had two sips, I saw her seeming to be saying something to my mother, and then walking towards me again.

"If mother can't answer your question, then I definitely don't know, so you don't have to look for me."

I always felt that she was here for revenge, and of course I couldn't let her get close.

"No, it was your mother who asked me to answer a question for you -"

"what is the problem?"

"I don't know either--"

My mother likes to play tricks like this. I have so many questions that she can’t answer many of them. How can I expect a beast to suddenly appear?

However, after thinking about it, I really have a question. "I want to know who is the leader of this mountain range?"

I'm just curious, who has such courage to call Baichuan.

…

"My brother is the leader of the Baichuan Mountains."

This answer was a bit surprising, so my question didn't make much sense, so I asked another question.

"The sea embraces all rivers, what is the sea?"

"Brother calls this mountain range the sea, and the beast in the mountain range is called the river."

I see.
