Chapter 22 Dawn is approaching
"Xiangu!" Mu Yeli shouted in surprise and joy, "You are finally here! Save him quickly——"

"..."

The woman's expression was neither angry nor happy, her black eyes were as deep as ink, and there was no ripple in the ancient well.The flying sword flew up and severed the heads of those "people" without any hesitation.

"!?"

Makino was startled when another sword blade grazed his cheek and pierced into the eye socket of the "person" who was about to attack him from behind. Black water flowed out of the person's seven orifices. He still looked human. His skin quickly shriveled up as if deflating.

The rain of swords in the sky is ready to strike. The woman is overlooking the tragedy below, as if at this moment, she is the devil who controls all life and death——

Mu Yeli knew that she was very strong, but after witnessing such a majestic killing array with his own eyes, he finally realized that in the eyes of immortal cultivators, the lives of mortals like them were really as insignificant as ants.

"jingle……"

In the distance, a clear bell pierced through all the screams and cries, echoing in the sky, especially abrupt and harsh.As soon as the bell rang, the shriveled and pale "people" began to twitch, their skin cracked, and their limbs fell off like broken tree branches.

Black water flowed all over the ground and the stench surrounded them. They crawled to the side of the boat, desperate.

"——————"

The dark sea is surging, and the phantoms are escaping from under the sea. Their masters are calling them to return to the embrace of the dark sea.

Of course, this also includes the young man who fell in the arms of the old man.

"Little dragon! My little dragon! Don't leave!"

The old man used all his strength to hold his son, whose limbs were twisted and no longer human. He refused to let go, even if he scratched and bit her face and arms, causing blood to drip. The blood and tears mixed together fell into his open, rotting vagina. In the mouth.Her son was already a monster, biting her fingers, trying to escape...from his mother's arms.

"Auntie!" Makino didn't know how to start. He wanted to save Aunt Ma, but he stopped abruptly when he saw the happy smile on her face.

"Ah Li, thank you and Xiangu. Thanks to you two, I can meet Xiaolong again."

"Thank you. I'm going to take him home, so I won't bother you to worry about it anymore."

The water is about to recede, and the filth left on the shore is about to face the real sun.They wanted to hide back into the deep sea like crazy, dragging the old man towards the sea with them.

Makino clenched his fists and watched them leave, his body trembling uncontrollably.

She left everything behind at this moment, smiling extremely calmly and contentedly, whether it was the body that could no longer walk, the backpack filled with things to bring to her son, her own name, or... life.

At this moment, she was just an ordinary mother who wanted to follow her son and protect him.

She hugged the young man who was about to fall into the sea and fell from a height. What was left on the shore was only her last, ethereal voice.

"Xiaolong, mother will protect you."

"We should never be separated again..."

A family of three who have been separated for a long time will eventually meet again in another world.

Dawn came and dawn came.

...

The Phantom fled in panic, but even if it escaped, it wouldn't survive for long.It left the ferry that had occupied it for five years, and the illusion was shattered. Only then did they realize that the "Windrunner" they were in was just a ruined hull skeleton salvaged from the seabed.

The corpses of countless ships were dumped on this abandoned dock, and the air was filled with the smell of decay.

Not only the ship was in ruins, but the entire Jibei ferry was as well.The flood that year destroyed the entire Jibei ferry and brought with it monsters lurking on the seabed. The illusion that lasted for many years made the outside world think that Jibei ferry had regained its vitality. However, little did they know that it was waiting for ignorant travelers to offer food rations in person.

Tan Xi had long known that she had learned about the anomaly in Jibei Ferry through intelligence inquiries from all parties, and one of her main tasks was to solve the anomaly and kill the mastermind behind it.

But now, this main mission has not been completed yet. Sure enough, the mastermind behind the scenes will not appear so easily.

Tan Xi and Mu Yeli were walking among the ruins. She noticed that the man behind her had been in a very low mood since he left the illusion. His eyebrows were drooped, his green eyes were watery, and his sadness condensed into a sea. "..."

Tan Xi averted her gaze and continued walking forward, but as she walked, she came to the wreckage of the bottom cabin of the Fengxing, which was hidden under the rocks, and kicked open a twisted door as if with purpose.

This was probably the crew dormitory, with a large number of bedding and clothes soaked by the seawater piled up in a mountain, and a few tables and chairs that still barely maintained their shape floating on the water.

Makinoli noticed the rusty iron box in the corner at a glance.After they violently dismantled it together, they found that it was filled with envelopes and sundries that had been soaked in water. There were also several neatly folded clothes at the bottom. Unfortunately, they could no longer see the original shape.

But all of them know that these are the most cherished clothes of helmsman Ma Baolong. They were sewn by his mother, Ma Lihua, and are his most precious gifts.

...

Jibei Ferry, liberated from the fantasy world, restored its original appearance.The dilapidated and desolate streets, the empty houses that were destroyed by floods, cannot be related to prosperity in any aspect.

Looking at the street from the pier, you can hear the screams echoing from the empty alleys.

Tan Xi led Mu Yeli back to their original inn, but without the blessing of the illusion, the entire inn was just an empty skeleton.Fortunately, Makinoli's luggage and even the old man's backpack were still in place.

They took the old man's backpack and the iron box and sank into the sea.The sea is still dark, but no longer sticky. The waves hit the rocks, blowing up waves of salty sea wind, and the sun rises completely from the horizon.

"Xiangu, it turns out that the monsters you cultivators have to deal with are all monsters like this." He looked at the sea and said in a calm voice, "This sea must be what it is now because so many people died."

"This is also a kind of practice." She replied, "To become an immortal, you must have the world in mind and take it as your own responsibility to eliminate the chaos in the world. My goal is to kill all the monsters and monsters that cause trouble in all directions, and step into that place - Tiangang In the Ascension Pool on the top of the mountain. What you saw today is just the tip of the iceberg. You will experience more cruel things than these in the future, and sacrifice is inevitable. I am not a saint, nor do I have good intentions. I just have to save you, and I also There is no obligation to save everyone. What’s more, this is the ending she chose.”

"I know." The ethereal tail tone was blown away by the sea breeze. Makino raised her head, as if looking for the top of Tiangang Mountain she mentioned, "I'm sorry, I am indeed too naive."

"Humph……"

"If my body is of use to you, you can do whatever you want to me."

"...?" Why can this person say such ambiguous words in a serious manner?
The man looked at her with clear eyes and a self-deprecating but serious smile on his lips: "You said - this is also a kind of practice."

He is not afraid of pain or injury.If he is destined to be unable to practice, then in this way... he can also help her, right?

...

Just when they were worrying about where to stay next, a young man who claimed to be a "guide" appeared.

The young man stood in the middle of the street, holding a bronze lantern burning with blue flames. He slowly looked around. His long hair and feather crown were fluttering in the wind, and his clothes with blue patterns on a white background were fluttering in the wind. On his shoulders was a dress that was larger than his figure. The wider cloak looks like a child wearing an adult's clothes.

He was not surprised when he saw Tan Xi and the two of them. He seemed to have been waiting for them for a long time. He smiled slightly, bowed and said, "Chaoxian has been waiting for these two immortals here for a long time."

"Who are you·····?"

Facing the question, the young man smiled apologetically and said in a soft voice: "Ah, I'm so sorry, I forgot to introduce myself."

"My name is Chaoxian, and I am the "guide" who leads people out of the fantasy world."

"We have all witnessed the heroic fighting spirit of the two immortals. Chao Xiante has come to lead the way for the two of them... to our Jibei Ferry Lighthouse."

They followed the boy to a lighthouse dock that was fenced off and covered with charms. The lights were brightly lit, and a warm and warm bonfire was burning. Red and green tents were placed in an orderly manner. From some open tents Looking over the tent, you can still see bits and pieces of luggage and packages scattered randomly, and the atmosphere is full of fireworks.

Many people who were also dressed as monks or knight-errant swordsmen gathered around the campfire and talked and laughed. When they saw the arrival of Tan Xi and the other two, they spontaneously burst into cheers.

"Yo! The heroes are here!"

"Finally drove away that damn phantom!"

Makino was so dizzy with the praise and surrounded by enthusiastic men that he could only watch as Tan Xi waved to him and then left.

To be honest, everything that happened last night has made him have a shadow of "people" - these people are really living people! ?
