Chapter 195 (Ancient Chapter: Dijiang and Chaos)
In ancient times, the climate was highly variable, and recently there have been several days of continuous rain and no sunshine.
Inside the Claw Claw Cave, a family of five gazed longingly at the overcast sky outside, hoping the sun would come out soon.
"Om..."
Suddenly, Dijiang's body went limp and he collapsed, his four wings drooping down.
The three brothers and Chaos were startled and hurriedly surrounded them.
"Big Red Guy, what's wrong?" Tianlu rushed over and asked worriedly.
"You haven't had any sunshine for days, you must be starving," Bixie said worriedly as he approached.
Chaos placed one paw on Dijiang and brought it close to sniff. The originally pleasant sweet apple scent had changed.
So sour.
She paused slightly, a sense of unease rising within her.
"Big Red Guy, we'll go catch some bright-spotted bugs for you right now! We'll catch as many as you can, so you won't be hungry!" Tianlu was pacing around anxiously, his voice slightly flustered.
Upon hearing this, Bai Jie immediately agreed, "Oh right! I remember there were a lot of shiny bugs in the canyon we went to last time!"
The three little ones rushed out of the cave, while Chaos stayed at home to guard Dijiang.
Shortly after……
"Hey! Hey!"
A firefly was shining brightly, and its companions were also working hard. Below, Tianlu was calling out the rhythm as he released the fireflies he had caught, and his movements were getting faster and faster.
"Heave-ho! Heave-ho! Heave-ho! Heave-ho! It's not enough at all!!"
As the scattered rays of light fell, Dijiang remained listless. Chaos stood quietly to the side, watching the three anxious brothers. After a moment, she turned and quietly left.
……
As the sky darkened, a flock of three-legged golden crows took flight from the lakeside. One of them lay down leisurely, and a drop of rain fell on the lake surface, creating ripples. It dipped its beak into the lake and took a light peck.
"Ah. Another rainy day. Let's take a break."
The ground suddenly trembled slightly, and tiny ripples spread across the calm lake. The Golden Crow, almost asleep, awoke a little more, looking up in confusion.
Dust billowed up from the hillside as a pink, unidentified creature hurtled towards them like a rolling stone, trailing a menacing cloud of smoke behind it!
The Golden Crow's brain froze for a second, then it jumped up in alarm. But it was too late; the pink furball was already upon it, and it only had time to stretch out its wings to try and defend itself.
When the wings made contact with the fluff ball, it was like an ant trying to shake a tree; the pink fluff ball was crushed almost without any resistance! In slow motion, the golden crow's face came into contact with it, and its face was deformed by the impact, gradually twisting, and its eyes bulged out, as if they might burst out at any moment.
A claw silently reached out and grabbed his neck. The next second, Jinwu was run over, and the furry ball, carrying him, made a sharp turn and headed back the way it came!
"GAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Jinwu felt dizzy and disoriented, as if he had been swept into a washing machine, his face making intimate contact with Mother Earth with each rotation before being crushed! He was carried away and disappeared into the mountains!
……
Back in Claw Cave, Dijiang lay listlessly on the ground, her three brothers tending to her with concern. Suddenly, a soft golden light shone down, and they looked up in surprise to find Chaos holding a large, struggling golden bird aloft.
"Who are you! What do you want? Let me go!!"
"Wow! A huge golden bird!" Tianlu exclaimed!
The gentle light bathed Dijiang, and she felt herself lift her head slightly, her spirits noticeably restored.
Chaos took a sniff.
I'm full, and it tastes sweet.
"You're all doomed, you know? Do you know who I am?!" The three-legged golden crow was still shouting and yelling. Bixie curiously looked him over and reached out a claw to grab one of his legs.
"I am, ga! Ah, ah, ah?"
With a forceful pull, the bird he was holding snapped and twisted in half. The golden crow let out a miserable cry and convulsed as if its throat had been choked, rendering it speechless. The light emanating from its body also dimmed.
Bixie straightened his legs with another burst of strength, and the light instantly rekindled! The golden crow also uttered the words it hadn't finished saying, "Three-legged golden crow!"
Bai Jie and Tian Lu's eyes lit up instantly; it looked like a lot of fun. They stretched out their two demonic claws and grabbed the Golden Crow's other two legs respectively.
In an instant, the light inside the Claw Cave flickered wildly, accompanied by a scream!
"This lamp is nice, but it's a bit noisy," came the remark from Bixie.
……
The next day, nine bright suns rose in the sky, the dark clouds dispersed, and the sun shone brightly on the earth.
Tianlu ran out of the cave and shouted excitedly, "The sun is out! Let's go out and play!"
Upon hearing this, Jinwu silently closed his eyes to minimize his presence. Once all the beasts in the cave had left, leaving only him as the lone bird, Jinwu suddenly opened his eyes, a golden light flashing in them. "Ha! They're all gone! The perfect time to escape! If I don't run now, when will I ever...?"
He opened his eyes and suddenly found himself tied to a rock with vines. The air fell silent for a moment. He stood there stunned for two seconds, then suddenly burst out.
"You bunch of bastards!!!"
……
The scene shifts to the three brothers chasing and playing happily, with Chaos and Dijiang following leisurely behind. The surrounding area is a green grassy hillside, and the sky is clear and blue.
"Hahaha, Bai Jie Bi Xie, hurry up and catch up!" Tianlu leaped down the hillside to the flat ground, and his two brothers followed closely behind. "Here we come!"
The three Pixiu landed one after the other, their movements exactly the same. Tianlu looked left and right, then chuckled in surprise. "Hehe, we're so synchronized! Let's play an imitation game! You imitate me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped out.
"Come on then!" Bixie retorted defiantly.
Bai Jie was stunned for a moment before quickly following suit.
The three brothers were having a great time playing. On the slope, two large mythical beasts watched them like parents looking at their children. One had no facial features, and the other had no expression.
A moment later, Dijiang turned to look at Hun Dun and realized that her expression had not changed at all.
Tianlu noticed this while playing and stopped. "Big Pink doesn't seem very energetic."
Bixie stopped beside her and glanced at her as well. "She always seems to have a blank expression, doesn't she?"
Bai Jie chimed in, "It's probably because they can't see, so they don't know how to make expressions."
Hearing the three brothers' discussion, Dijiang tugged at Chaos, and when the other looked over, she smiled.
This is what laughter is like.
In Dijiang's own world, his conjured mind's eye revealed a sweet smile, but in the eyes of others... it was just a big red fur ball bouncing around inexplicably, along with a buzzing sound.
"Hey, it's okay, we'll teach you how to make expressions!" After the three brothers finished discussing Chaos's expressionless face, Tianlu immediately put one claw on his hip and pointed the other at the sky with full confidence.
The two brothers looked at him suspiciously, wondering what kind of trouble he could possibly be up to. However, Bixie only felt a blur before his eyes, and Tianlu flashed behind him, grabbing both cheeks and forcibly pulling out an exaggerated smile.
"Hehe, that's what laughter is!"
"Ugh! Why are you using me as a demonstration?" The evil spirit's face was stretched so much that his mouth was slurred and he couldn't speak clearly.
Chaos reached out its claw and pressed down, then moved it away a few seconds later.
Tianlu released its paw expectantly, "How was it? Did you learn it?"
Bixie rubbed his cheeks and looked up. Baijie and Dijiang curiously crowded around, all wanting to see how the results were.
Chaos closed his eyes for a long time, then suddenly grinned, revealing a set of sharp white teeth, catching all the beasts off guard! His grin stretched all the way to his ears!
"Eh eh eh eh eh eh eh!!" The three brothers, including their younger brother Dijiang, were all terrified!
"Let's learn to cry!" Tianlu, still shaken, quickly grabbed Baijie's tail and bit down. "Mmm. Come on, Baijie, cry for Big Brother."
"Ugh! Let go!" Bai Jie shuddered in pain and reflexively kicked Tian Lu in the face.
"Whoa!" Tianlu was kicked over and rolled twice before landing at Bixie's feet.
Bixie wanted to say he deserved it, but before he could say it, Tianlu grabbed his tail and said, "Hey, Bixie, Baijie isn't cooperating, you do it."
Bixie fell silent... veins bulging on his forehead!
……
"Thump, thump! Bang! Smack, hit!"
"Waaaaaah!" Tianlu, his face bruised and swollen, stood crying in front of Chaos, while the culprit, Bixie, stood behind him with his arms crossed. "This is what crying is."
Good for him!
Bai Jie secretly vented his anger from a short distance away.
Chaos raised its paw and pressed it against Tianlu's face. After closing its eyes for a moment, it opened them again. Its head was tilted, but it still had that same expressionless face.
"Looks like I won't be able to learn it." Bai Jie said helplessly.
……
As dusk fell, a bright moon twinkled amidst a sky full of stars, a magnificent and dazzling sight, like a lighthouse towering high in an endless sea of stars.
Suddenly, a streak of light appeared, followed by a second and a third, and a magnificent meteor shower began to fall over the sea of stars!
"Wow, it's a shooting star!" Tianlu excitedly ran towards the shooting star, shouting loudly.
"Hey, Tianlu, wait for me!" Baijie quickly chased after him.
Bixie hurriedly followed behind, "You two, don't run around!"
Gazing at this rare and beautiful scene, Dijiang was deeply moved. The profound starry sky was etched into her heart, becoming a profound memory, but what happened next was an absolutely stunning sight she would never forget.
"Sniff, sniff."
A commotion came from beside him. Dijiang turned his head and saw Chaos sniffing the air. He was puzzled as to why they were suddenly so excited.
Dijiang stepped forward, his tentacle-like hand reaching out to gently grasp her claw.
If only you could see this...
Chaos tilted its head in confusion, looking at the sweet red fruit.
A moment later, Dijiang suddenly smiled, gripped Chaos's claws tightly, and with a burst of unrestrained energy, soared into the sky!
"Hey, big guys, where are you going?" Tianlu's exclamation was left behind.
Dijiang led Chaos on a journey, and the entire starry sky seemed to revolve around them. It was as if, at this moment, they were the center of the world, and heaven and earth turned upside down for them, with star rivers flowing like a waterfall from the heavens!
Her chaotic expression gradually turned to one of awe. Light appeared in her monotonous world of scents—lots of light… countless orbs of light traced beautiful trajectories as they fell! Red, orange, yellow, green—a riot of colors, like a colorful rain of light!
The two beasts went upstream, like butterflies flitting through the rain, weathering the storm, and finally arrived before the full moon, a symbol of happiness and reunion.
This scene was deeply etched into her chaotic mind, and a gentle smile involuntarily appeared on her face, completely inconsistent with her monstrous image.
You're smiling now!
Dijiang had not expected this. Her own manifested Mind's Eyes widened, gleaming with extraordinary light.
On the ground, watching the two beasts soar freely in the sky, Tianlu couldn't help but say, "Take me with you too..."
"Shh—" Bixie interrupted him.
