In fact, the moment the two fifth-grade source monsters died, everything was a foregone conclusion.

The resistance of the human race has become stronger, while the source demons are constantly being killed, and their numbers are decreasing.

Under the circumstances, the source demon invasion, which originally made the Qiu family feel almost suffocated, is gradually calming down.

And the source of all these changes turned out to be just the arrival of Ji Chuan and Lu Qingshan.

…………

Half an hour later.

After Taohua blasted the last third-grade source demon in sight into pieces, it circled back and disappeared into Lu Qingshan's body.

"It's over." Lu Qingshan glanced at the wreckage.

The continuous heavy rain in the sky finally stopped gradually at this time.

This source demon invasion caused heavy losses to the Qiu family.

The situation in the outermost area was the most severe, with the heaviest casualties.

The entire Maplewood Town has a total population of only thirty to forty thousand, and in this battle, preliminary estimates indicate that at least nearly ten thousand people died, most of them mortals.

Under the wanton attack of the source demon, all the buildings in Fenglin Town, except for the Qiu family land guarded by the spiritual formation, were destroyed.

Houses collapsed and were dilapidated.

The streets opened into ravines, and blood mixed with muddy water flowed through them...

Extremely miserable.

"Thank you two superiors for rushing to the rescue and saving our Qiu family from the dire straits." Qiu Changqing walked up to Lu Qingshan and Ji Chuan and expressed his solemn gratitude.

"Master Qiu, please find a room first to accommodate Miss Qiu." Lu Qingshan waved his hand, not intending to take credit. He just glanced at Ji Chuan beside him and said to Qiu Changqing.

Ji Chuan had already put the little beggar down when the source demons had been wiped out and there was no danger.

But Qiu Shiyin, who had passed out, was still held in his arms.

There is a very interesting psychological phenomenon called compensation psychology.

Ji Chuan seemed to have fallen into this psychological phenomenon at this time.

Because of his previous misunderstanding of Qiu Shiyin, he felt guilty towards Qiu Shiyin, and now he couldn't help but pay special attention to Qiu Shiyin as compensation for his previous mistakes.

Lu Qingshan thought secretly in his heart.

Hearing this, Qiu Changqing's eyelids couldn't help but twitch. He glanced thoughtfully at Qiu Shiyin, who was pale, and Ji Chuan, who looked a little worried, and said respectfully: "I'll make arrangements right away."

.”

........

Qiu Shiyin slowly opened her eyes and found herself in a strange environment.

She was lying on a big soft bed.

"you're awake."

A slightly hoarse voice came.

Qiu Shiyin looked in the direction of the sound, and a familiar figure came into view.

"Jichuan..." For a moment, Qiu Shiyin was in a daze. Soon, her memory gradually became clear, and the scene before she fell into coma came to mind.

"Those children..." Qiu Shiyin's voice trembled slightly.

Ji Chuan naturally understood what Qiu Shiyin meant and sighed, "When I arrived, only the child you were protecting was left. The other children had already...so..."

Qiu Shiyin fell silent.

She closed her eyes slightly, and scenes flashed through her mind.

The storm was swaying and the rain was pouring continuously. Countless ferocious monsters roared into Maplewood Town and rushed toward the children.

The children were stunned, unaware of the so-called danger, until those source monsters bit these unlucky children into pieces and massacred them without restraint.

She fought hard to stop the source demon and save the children from the source demon's mouth, but all in vain.

One child after another died in front of her.

The painful screams made by the children before they died still echoed in her ears and lingered in her ears.

She felt tight in her chest, a little nauseous, and her breathing became heavier.

At this moment, a warm hand covered her cold palm.

A warm spiritual power then passed over and turned into a stream of heat, flowing throughout her body.

"Don't think too much..." She heard Ji Chuan's voice.

After a long time, she finally recovered, opened her eyes again, looked at Ji Chuan's angular face, glanced down, and stared blankly at her palm.

Ji Chuan was holding her hand tightly.

Seeing Qiu Shiyin looking over, Ji Chuan panicked and quickly let go of Qiu Shiyin's arms.

Just watching Qiu Shiyin put her hands into the quilt, for some reason, an inexplicable feeling of reluctance arose in his heart.

"In my heart, I have always regarded those children as my younger brothers." Qiu Shiyin suddenly said.

"Brother..." Ji Chuan murmured.

This was the second time he heard Qiu Shiyin mention her brother from her mouth.

"My younger brother is also a 'toad'." Qiu Shiyin said slowly.

Ji Chuan nodded slightly. Qiu Shiyin had mentioned this before, so he naturally still remembered it.

"But, he is different from other 'toads'," Qiu Shiyin's eyes flashed with memories, "Other toads just look like monsters, but are still human in nature, but..."

Qiu Shiyin paused and then said: "My brother, it is really a monster."

"Monster?" Ji Chuan's heart suddenly tightened.

"It's a monster," Qiu Shiyin said very calmly, as if she was telling someone else's story that had nothing to do with her. "When it first came out of my mother's belly, it was thin and small, but its whole body was black and blue.

Its scales and eyes are weird yellow. It’s obviously just born, and its mouth is already full of sharp fangs.”

Ji Chuan didn't know what to say.

This was the first time he heard that a person would give birth to a monster.

"Moreover, its birth cost my mother her life," Qiu Shiyin continued: "It grew so big that my mother worked hard to give birth to it, and she didn't even have time to look at it.

There is no breath."

"But that's fine, this way my mother won't know that her own life is on the line, and the child she gave birth to in the end will turn out to be a monster." Qiu Shiyin smiled.

"What happened next?" Ji Chuan asked in a hoarse voice.

"I originally wanted to kill it because it was a monster," Qiu Shiyin's voice gradually became deeper and she was sobbing, "but just when I was about to do it, that little monster...

It suddenly opened its eyes, and those yellow eyes looked at me motionless. Then it moved, and it stumbled and rolled around on the ground, and rolled to my feet..."

Speaking of this, Qiu Shiyin showed a bitter smile, "You have just been born and can walk on the ground. What is this if not a monster?"

"It rolled to my feet and stretched out its claws." The emotions in Qiu Shiyin's voice became more complicated. "It hugged one of my feet tightly and screamed happily at me.

.”

"Yes, I can't understand the meaning of its cry," Qiu Shiyin affirmed, "but I can feel its joy."

"I grabbed its neck and lifted it up. It didn't resist at all and just let me do it. I originally wanted to break its neck." This time Qiu Shiyin paused for a long time.

.

Ji Chuan did not rush her, but waited patiently.

Finally, Qiu Shiyin continued: "At that moment, my eyes met its eyes.

I originally thought that the eyes of this kind of monster must be cruel, cold and ruthless.

However, at that time, I clearly saw human emotions similar to admiration and attachment in its eyes."
