Monument of Life and Death

  Yi Yao? Still thinking? I don't know anymore.

   "Uncle Yi... Uncle Yi Yao?" Xiao Lan tried to shout, "Uncle Yi Nian... I... I..."

  After hearing Xiao Lan's voice, Yi Yao's arm moved, and Xiao Lan hurriedly moved to Yi Yao's side, helping him by his shoulders and turning him over.

  Yi Yao opened his eyes in Xiaolan's arms.

  Yi Yao's eyes were clear and stupid.

  The moment she saw that look, Xiao Lan knew it—the person in front of her was not Yi Nian, but Yi Yao.

   "Uncle Yi, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Lan asked, "Have you been attacked?"

   "I don't know either..." Yi Yao pressed her temple, sat up with Xiaolan's support, "Just now... I just suddenly felt... dizzy, and then lost consciousness..."

  Xiao Lan said to Yi Yao in a serious manner, "Uncle Yi, you know, you were possessed just now!"

   "Ah?" The confusion and shock on Yi Yao's face didn't seem to be feigned, "What did you say?"

   "You are possessed," Xiaolan repeated, emphasizing, "The person who possesses you is called Yi Nian, and it seems to be the founder of your Yi Nian."

  Yi Yao narrowed his eyes, "Xiao Lan, are you dreaming?"

   Unexpectedly... Unable to refute.

   "I... I was dreaming, but what I said is true," Xiao Lan raised her hand and swore, "A lot of things happened after you fell into a coma, let me tell you..."

  ***

  Xia Hua's hands began to tremble.

   Not good, not as simple as imagined.

She looked at Zhou Ye lying in front of her, every inch of Zhou Ye's skin was covered with black lines, those lines were slowly wriggling, like countless dark reptiles, along Zhou Ye's body Blood vessels, drilled and drilled.

  Zhou Ye's body trembled violently. To keep himself from screaming, he gritted his teeth fiercely, and his clothes were soaked with sweat.

  Xia Hua regained control of her hands, took a deep breath, and settled down.

   The process of awakening the life insects will indeed be obstructed, which is expected by Xia Hua, but Xia Hua did not expect that the power of this obstruction is so powerful.

  Even... more and more powerful.

  According to what I know, the previous Patriarchs of the Four Summers also encountered the situation where the life worm suddenly went offline, so how to wake up the life worm has long been a part of the new Patriarch's tutorial, and I have already mastered it.

  She didn't explain too much to Zhou Ye, because this situation... itself is difficult to explain.

   Rather than saying that the Fate Worm itself fell into a deep sleep, it is better to say that the Fate Worm was recalled by its real owner.

   To explain all this clearly, we have to start with the origin of Sixia.

   At the beginning of its creation, the relationship between Sixia and Chong was not the symbiotic relationship seen now, but a one-way admiration and longing.

  Yes, it is what people often call animal worship.

   It's just that the ancestors of Sixia worshiped insects.

  The founder of Four Summers worshiped worms devoutly, and finally, among these worms, a different worm appeared.

   And that worm is the first life worm of Sixia people—a four-legged snake.

  The problem arises here.

   To Si Xia, the first worm is no different from the God of Creation, but to the worm swarm behind it, it is a betrayer.

  Because of it, the swarm lost their worshipers and was reduced from a "god" to a "companion".

  After that, life bugs and other bugs became like enemies.

   This state of hedging has gradually evolved into two kinds of consciousness in the life worm. Therefore, her life worm is not actually asleep, but has temporarily chosen its identity as a bug.

   What Xia Hua wants to fight against is the insect's instinct.

   But the above situation is the usual situation.

  Now... something doesn't seem quite right.

  Xia Hua clearly felt that her life worm was bound by a strange force, and that force was growing, or it could be said...was gradually waking up.

  I have a headache.

  Although that force has not yet reached a level that is unmanageable, Xia Hua does not know the details of the opponent after all, and the medium of this battle is Zhou Ye's body, she cannot risk Zhou Ye's life.

  At this moment, the lines on Zhou Ye's skin suddenly flickered, and Xia Hua's eyes widened.

  However, the lines on Zhou Ye's body only flickered for a moment, and then quickly dimmed. Not only that, but the force of resistance seemed to have weakened a lot in an instant.

  Xia Hua was very surprised, but she didn't miss this opportunity.

  Xia Hua turned the palm of her right hand to an angle that is difficult for ordinary people to do, and clasped the palm on Zhou Ye's forehead with a "snap". Zhou Ye trembled all over, but the trembling in her body eased a lot.

   "Weekly Night, it's almost over," Xia Hua comforted, "Persist one last time!"

  Zhou Ye couldn't open his eyes, and couldn't make a sound, so he could only nod his head weakly.

  Xia Hua pursed her lips tightly, silently pumping her strength.

  Unfortunately, my strength loss is too serious. If I am still in the usual state, this obstacle is simply not a problem...

   But fortunately, the power over there has been messed up.

   Perhaps something or someone over there has been through?

   Or maybe...

It's now!

  Xia Hua waited patiently, and it finally arrived.

   That power exposed its flaws.

  Xia Hua is like a cheetah waiting for an opportunity, taking advantage of the moment when the opponent relaxes, and bites hard.

Her palm pressed **** Zhou Ye's forehead, and Zhou Ye's head was pushed back by her. She heard a thin cracking sound, and then, the black lines on Zhou Ye's body began to fade away .

  Zhou Ye gasped heavily.

   Fortunately, it seems that the cracking sound just now did not come from Zhou Ye's skull.

  The lines faded quickly, and it didn't take long before they all gathered in the center of Zhou Ye's eyebrows, and after a while, they couldn't see a trace.

  Xia Hua waited for a while before raising her hand.

  She looked at her palm.

   There is no trace at all.

  Xia Hua breathed a sigh of relief.

  She hurriedly lowered her head and looked at her chest.

  A black snake-shaped totem flickered on the chest. The totem seemed to be greeting her, speaking regularly and gently with a slight flicker.

I am back.

   "Great... Huh..." Xia Hua clutched her clothes tightly to her chest, and finally smiled, "Zhou Ye, we succeeded."

  Zhou Ye's breath was basically calm, he was still lying on the ground, and after a while, he slowly opened his eyes.

   "Success...success?..." Zhou Ye's voice could not conceal the exhaustion, "Your life worm...has...resurrected?..."

   "Actually, it's not resurrection... Forget it, you can just understand it that way, there's no problem," Xia Hua lifted Zhou Ye up, and asked, "Zhou Ye, how do you feel?"

   "I'm fine, Sister Xia Hua," Zhou Ye said, "It's my fault... I really thought I was going to die..."

   "Don't talk nonsense, I won't let you die," Xia Hua said with great determination, "We all have to leave here alive."
