The scorching sun is exposed and the sun is scorching.
The willow trees by the pond drooping leaves listlessly. Although the occasional wind will cause ripples in a pond of stagnant water in the pond, such hot wind has no effect on dissolving the heat.
However, no one cares about such heat.
Because around the pond, including under the willow trees, there are skeletons!
These skeletons with miserable white bones are incomplete, either because of their skulls or their sternum broken. It is obvious that their way of death is not the case with most, but because they are killed by external forces.
The layers of corpses piled up together, turning the pond into a dead place.
However, among these corpses, there are exceptions.
A skeleton, to be precise, is moving slowly from a few dozen meters outside the willow tree, towards the shade under the willow tree.
This skull seems to know that under the scorching sun, places with shade can better avoid the heat.
The skull is also grayish white and does not look special. At least it is with the bones everywhere around the pond, which is inconspicuous at all. The only more eye-catching external sign is that the skull is very complete, with a smooth surface and no cracks.
It can be said that the owner of this skull is definitely not the Red Building, which died of head injuries.
However, who can understand that he was not killed by other parts of his body due to serious injuries?
After all, now he only has this complete skull left, and there are no other parts of his body.
From the outside, the skull is not unusual, but if someone sees the skull moving towards the shade at this moment, he will be shocked.
Yes, this skull that does not seem to have any breath of life, but this skull that cannot move seems to have grown feet at this moment. Although the speed of movement is extremely slow, it is still moving after all!
If you really decide to look carefully, you will find that the skull is actually different from other skeletons everywhere around the pond.
The difference lies in its eyes.
In other words, there are two very small blue flames in the hollow eye sockets.
The flame burned in the sockets of the skull, but the flame was very small, only about half the size of a mung bean. The flashing blue flame was very weak, as if a gust of wind would blow it out.
This is where it is different from other bones.
It is also the biggest reason why it can move slowly and show certain life characteristics.
It is no exaggeration to call these two small blue flames the fire of life.
However, it seems that the skull is not worried that the fire of life in its eye sockets will be wiped out by the wind. In fact, there are still gusts of hot winds blew around the pond occasionally, but these two small blue flames are not extinguished.
.
The skull seemed to have lost its sense of autonomy and was completely relying on instinct to approach the shade of the tree.
The weather is too hot, even as a skull, it can't stand the heat.
"Click, click."
The skull slowly moved from the ground covered with bone powder and pieces of small bones, making such a low sound.
However, no other creatures appeared around the pond at this moment, so the skull could still approach the shade safely.
In its empty eyes, the two small blue flames were jumping, as if they were happy to be able to reach the shade of the trees and enjoy a slightly cooler summer.
"Click, click."
The skull continued to move.
And around the pond, there was a dead silence.
Even if there are living creatures in the pond, they will not appear at this hot noon.
It was not until the sun set that the skull finally walked less than twenty meters away. When it reached the shade of the trees, it could be seen how slow it was in one afternoon, even much slower than the snail.
However, it finally came under the shade of the trees.
Even though the sun is far away from this area, it makes it no longer as hot as noon, and there is even a cool breeze blowing over, and there is not much heat. Therefore, the shade of trees and places that are not shade seem the same, and it looks like
It was in vain for the skull to spend an afternoon hard work.
But what about tomorrow and the day after tomorrow?
With the shade of trees covering it with the vicious sunlight, it is better to stay in the sun?
Therefore, at this moment, the skull and the two small blue flames in the hollow eye sockets were jumping excitedly, and it was really happy.
Although, it doesn't understand what kind of happiness is, and it doesn't even know how to think about this question.
It has no consciousness, and all movements at this moment rely on an instinct.
However, this instinct is different from the escape instinct that other animals are born to use. After all, it tends to think rationally before taking actions.
Therefore, this instinct is not ordinary, just like a certain obsession in the skull during his lifetime, which still exists in the skull. Under the premise that the skull is unconscious, it will naturally make the skull act like this.
This looks incredible, especially when bones are everywhere around the pond.
However, shortly after the sunset set, a loud roar came from behind the pond, somewhere in the distant forest, like a large beast!
This roar broke the silence of death, and also showed that there are other lives in this place, not just the skull!
A hint of confusion seemed to flash in the hollow sockets of the skull. It turned its head slowly, and its empty sockets roared at the beast. The blue flame in the sockets leaped a few times, and it felt like it was eager to try.
Like a person who wants to eat to fill his stomach.
It seemed that after thinking about it, the skull finally made a decision.
It abandoned this pond without any life.
Although it finally found a piece of shade that could cover the scorching sun, it prefers a place of life more than a cool one because there is something that it needs.
So, before nightfall, the skull began its difficult trek again.
It left the pond and moved towards the forest next to it.
Perhaps the lack of exposure to the scorching sun makes its movement faster.
It finally reached the edge of the forest at about three in the morning.
There was no bright moon tonight, everything looked dark, but this scene also made the two small blue flames in the skull's eye sockets look very eye-catching.
"Rush."
The skull slowly moved forward.
Wherever they passed, there were still many bones scattered in the middle of the grass, but like those around the pond, they were all bones with no life breath and could not die any more.
The skull seemed to feel tired, so he stopped and rested for half an hour before continuing to move forward.
Its goal is a place where there is life activity.
At four o'clock in the morning, the skull suddenly found a little blue light among the corpses in front of them!
The blue flame in the skull's eye sockets jumped up, looking very excited.
The skull moved straight towards that.
There are hundreds of skeletons there, but only three of them have blue light.
All three skeletons, without exception, retained the skulls, and the blue highlight came from the eye sockets of their skulls, which is very similar to the skulls that have traveled for a long distance.
Perhaps, the difference between living lives in this world and dead lives is the blue flame in the eyes.
However, the blue highlights in the sockets of these three skeletons are weaker than those of the skull, but they accumulate, they are also a considerable fire of life.
