Chapter 133
The mountains and wilderness were filled with tens of thousands of soldiers guarding several hilltops. At the foot of the mountains, a maddened beast horde was charging and rushing about recklessly. In the sky, willow catkins were fluttering down like snowflakes.
These tens of thousands of soldiers could not hold off the beast horde, nor could they comprehend the willow catkins. Unable to defeat or escape them, they only felt endless despair.
Lying severely injured on the ground or barely standing, they watched as the snow-like cover of willow catkins descended upon them... Tens of thousands of people simply gazed blankly into the distance.
In midair, Qin Ran looked at the despair of those tens of thousands of soldiers and came to a stop, because he also felt extremely hopeless.
"Did you foresee such a scene?" he asked Su Changqing.
Su Changqing had foreseen it.
He knew that having the Devouring Demon Willow merge into the Dao would kill many people - many cultivators would die, many living beings would die. He had envisioned such a scene.
But...but!
It was one thing to think about millions of deaths in his mind, but seeing tens of thousands of soldiers standing in the beast tide and waiting to die firsthand was shocking beyond imagination.
He had not thought it would be like this.
Not far from Qin Ran, Su Changqing watched as willow catkins landed in front. They fell onto the damaged armor of a soldier, disappeared, and that soldier then withered away.
One, two, three... hundreds, thousands...
In an instant, several thousand valiant soldiers who had given their lives for their country transformed from living people into desiccated corpses.
Su Changqing looked back. In the forest behind and the mountains and wilderness, on the treetops, there were countless withered corpses of monstrous beasts, birds, beasts, and insects!
Corpses were scattered among boulders, corpses were hanging from barren trees...
Willow catkins fluttered down continuously. The human world had become hell.
"So this is what it's like," Su Changqing murmured.
So this was what the Devouring Demon Willow was like when it engulfed all things.
"Brother Su, I suppose you no longer need to hunt me down," Qin Ran's voice rang out at this time.
Those were his subordinates who had thrown themselves on top of him, using their own flesh and blood to win him a breath more.
"Are you still going to kill me?" Qin Ran asked Su Changqing.
Facing the field of skeletons, Su Changqing did not speak.
"If you're not going to kill me, then I'm going to see my friend first," said Qin Ran when Su Changqing remained silent. His figure flickered as he arrived at Li Shiwen's side.
Qin Ran squatted down amidst the skeletons and spoke to Li Shiwen buried underneath: "Why didn't you leave?"
Hearing the voice, Li Shiwen turned his head to look. Seeing it was Qin Ran, hope instantly appeared in his eyes. He grew excited and desperately pleaded to Qin Ran, this cultivator, "Save... save them! I beg you, save them!"
"It's beyond my power!" Qin Ran shook his head. He looked up at the endless fluttering catkins falling from the sky like snow and said, "I only barely escaped death... I'll die as well."
Now his body was still crackling with electricity, incinerating any catkins that drew near. But how much longer could that electricity last? It was just the residual Tribulation Lightning inside him.
The hope in Li Shiwen's eyes faded. He calmed himself and became numb again.
After a long pause, he answered Qin Ran's question: "Why should I leave? I'm a soldier guarding the borderlands to protect my family and country. Because danger came, I should flee? For a general, when facing the enemy, if he thinks not of strategies to engage them but of ways to desert, what is he?"
"This is a calamity that no ordinary man can face..." said Qin Ran, glancing around. Suddenly amidst the soldier corpses he spotted a rat scavenging. Rats could be found anywhere, it seemed. He threw a rock over, killing it, then continued, "Nor is it one that cultivators can handle."
Su Changqing followed over and hovered in midair, still not speaking as he glanced at Li Shiwen.
"They were the ones who should have resolved this to begin with," said Qin Ran, pointing at Su Changqing in the air. "But they chose the Dao fruits instead.
"So we're all going to die."
As Qin Ran spoke, he recalled that time Li Shiwen had treated him to wine. He rummaged through his Universe Bag and took out a jug of wine, pouring himself a mouthful before passing it to Li Shiwen.
"No side dishes to go with it. Make do..." Suddenly recalling the rat he had just killed, Qin Ran laughed and said, "Well, not exactly none. You treated me to roast chicken and wine; I'll repay you with fried field rats."
He went to retrieve the rat corpse, drew out a sword, and began skinning and cleaning it.
But just as the sword sliced open the rat's skin, Qin Ran suddenly realized something...
With these catkins filling the sky, how had the rat managed to survive?
