Chapter 137 Side Missions
Shuttled through the empty corpses, after a while, a drizzle fell from the gray sky, and the cold rain hit Xiao Yu's face, and the chill was biting.
"How can this weather change?" Xiao Yu looked up at the sky. There was no trace of light in the dark sky. A sad aura slowly drifted in the sky. Xiao Yu was shuttled in the rain. He suddenly stopped and turned his eyes to an altar on the side of the road. After thousands of years of erosion of wind and rain, the altar had long been broken. There was a container of gold in the center of the altar, with some corpses piled up in it.
Xiao Yu's eyes fell on the corpses, and a very small head was placed in the center of the golden container. The deceased should have been a child about eight or nine years old before his death.
"These inhuman guys." Xiao Yu was angry. They actually sent such a young child to the altar, this barbaric cannibalism!
An inexplicable sentiment enveloped Xiao Yu, and the sound of the little rain dripping dripping hit Xiao Yu's heart, making people feel heart-wrenching. Xiao Yu looked into the distance and saw how many miserable stories happened in this wilderness?
Xiao Yu sighed and killed the so-called "god" behind the scenes, probably the best comfort to the deceased.
Xiao Yu bowed his head silently and continued to move forward.
At this moment, Xiao Yu's heart trembled. In the drizzle, some choking and sobbing sounds came vaguely, floating silently, and it seemed particularly real.
How could anyone cry in this deserted wilderness? Is it the cry of a ghost?
Xiao Yu's heart suddenly rose up, and slowly searched for it along the sound of crying. The sound came from the altar. Following the sound, Xiao Yu walked around the back of the altar. In the corner of the altar, a thin little boy was sitting on the corner of the altar, holding his knees and crying. The rain hit him, making his figure even thinner.
This little boy was a ghost! Xiao Yu recognized it immediately, but seeing his helpless look, Xiao Yu softened again. He would never attack this little ghost before he was sure whether this little ghost would pose a threat to him.
Looking at him, Xiao Yu remembered when he was a child. Pictures reappeared in Xiao Yu's mind. Xiao Yu was full of sympathy for this little ghost. When this little ghost was killed, he was still a child. Xiao Yu remembered the small head on the altar.
Xiao Yu hesitated for a while. Perhaps this little boy is not much like an ordinary ghost. Xiao Yu walked towards the little boy.
The little boy raised his head and looked at Xiao Yu in horror.
"Hello." Xiao Yu greeted him and asked. In order not to disturb him, Xiao Yu put away the dagger and sat down at a distance from the little boy's digital.
"Aren't you afraid of me?" Seeing Xiao Yu sit down, the little boy asked curiously.
Xiao Yu shook his head, smiled and asked, "What's your name?"
"My name is Yegmost." The little boy said, looking at Xiao Yu with big water blue eyes.
Xiao Yu looked at the little boy's eyes. His eyes were as pure as a sapphire, but instead, a red light flashed through his sapphire-like eyes, which made Xiao Yu feel an unforgettable fear.
Xiao Yu calmed down and looked at the little boy's eyes again, the red light seemed to have never appeared before. It might have been just his own illusion.
"Your name is so strange." Xiao Yu said. Although the little boy was a ghost, Xiao Yu did not feel hostility from the little boy.
"My mother said, my name means flying. Flying in the sky, it's like a little bird." The little boy said happily, looking into the sky, looking into the gray sky, not to mention the bird, there was not even a living thing. The little boy's eyes couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Xiao Yu smiled faintly, the little boy's innocent expression diluted the sadness here. Xiao Yu couldn't help but ask, "How old are you?"
The little boy shook his head and said blankly: "Mom said she was one year older, and I don't know how old I am."
Xiao Yu laughed silently. If he was age like this, the age of the little boy in front of him was indeed a bit terrifying.
"There have been many uncles and aunts here before. You are the first person to be unafraid of me." The little boy looked at Xiao Yu and said seriously.
Although this little boy's mind is childish, he knows a lot of things. He even knows the difference between humans and ghosts.
Since the little boy understands the difference between humans and ghosts, it is inevitable that he will become hostile to humans.
"Are you scary?" Xiao Yu couldn't help but smile. Even if he became a ghost, the little boy's mind was just a child. However, what made Xiao Yu very strange was that most of the ghosts in this wilderness of skeletons had no mind, while the little boy could speak and communicate with others.
"The uncles and aunts are all very afraid of me. Many years ago, two uncles came here. They kept chasing me and wanted to kill me," said the little boy.
When Xiao Yu heard the little boy's words, he was shocked. Could it be that the two uncles mentioned by the little boy were the thief mentor Ode and his younger brother? Xiao Yu couldn't help but ask, "What happened later?"
"I kept running and running, but then I fell down, and then I couldn't remember anything." The little boy shook his little head, as if he was thinking about something, but he couldn't remember it anyway.
Xiao Yu buried all kinds of doubts in his heart. He looked at the little boy. What Xiao Yu could be sure of was that this little boy must be a very critical NPC in this dungeon mission, but Xiao Yu could not determine what the connection was related to the mission.
"Why are you crying here alone?" Xiao Yu asked. Perhaps he could get some key clues from the little boy.
"I think my father and my mother." Hearing Xiao Yu's inquiry, the little boy became confused again.
Xiao Yu was in a complicated mood. He wanted to treat the little boy as an NPC, but this innocent child unconsciously touched his feelings. From this child, Xiao Yu vaguely saw his own shadow.
"Can you tell me your story? It is said that when a child confides his longing for his father and mother to others, both his father and mother can hear it." Xiao Yu said.
"Really, can they really hear it?" The little boy looked at Xiao Yu with some confusion and asked in doubt.
