Chapter 309: Zero Grass Sage

Xinshou Village, No. 99999.

It has been more than a month since Destiny World opened, but Xinshou Village still doesn't look deserted at all. A large number of new players flood in every day, demonstrating the unparalleled influence of the world of destiny.

A small valley.

The scenery here is as beautiful as a picture scroll, and the air is fresh and intoxicating.

Chen Xue has been here for a long time, and has been breathing the air here hard. The air here was the freshest and most pleasant air she had ever breathed. The scenery here is the most beautiful scenery she has ever seen... Here is the pure nature she yearns for and loves most.

There is no one else here except her. Chen Xue also came to this place inadvertently. After entering the world of destiny, her disposition still retains the kind of rejection of outsiders, so she has always acted alone, always avoiding crowded places.

In order to reach the town earlier, she has been working hard on leveling. After these days of hard work, she has finally reached the fourth level. And the one wandering here happens to be the fifth-level little monster Butterfly Spirit who is most suitable for her leveling. Although this kind of butterfly spirit flies, it flies very low, its speed is very slow, and it has no attack power, but the number of spawns is very small each time, and it is not suitable for leveling, so no one stays here . But it has become a quiet place that belongs to Chen Xue alone.

The profession she chose was an apprentice fire magician, and the elementary fireball technique happened to be the nemesis of the butterfly spirit. Because she has struggled on the death line for a long time, and even tasted death more than once, Chen Xue's love for life is far beyond ordinary people. If she didn't want to be promoted to level ten so she could go to Ye Tianxie, she would not want to attack at all. These creatures... Every time they attacked, she desperately told herself that these were just a bunch of data, not real life.

In the flawless world, moving forward cautiously, and attacking the dancing butterfly girl, this picture is very beautiful and moving.

Every time a butterfly spirit is eliminated, Chen Xue will take a few steps forward. This small valley is very quiet, because few people step on it, the grass here grows very long, not past Chen Xue's calf, she chases the one that appears Butterfly keeps going. When the butterfly spirit could no longer be seen in front of her eyes, she turned her head, only to find that she seemed to have lost her way.

Taking out the return trip to Xinshou Village, Chen Xue was just about to go back, but suddenly saw something hidden on the stone wall behind the green grass that was as tall as a person on his right hand.

Driven by curiosity, she walked over with light steps, and then carefully pushed the grass away. Suddenly, a not too big cave appeared in front of her eyes. The cave is barely as tall as a person, and it is not wide. At a glance, it is barely seven or eight meters deep. As the grass was parted, the light shone in, driving away the gloom in the cave. In the cave, a man sitting cross-legged on the ground with loose hair raised his head and looked at Chen Xue.

The messy and long hair covered most of the face, and the exposed face was extremely dry and frightening, even worse than the old bark, but it was still vaguely recognizable as a woman's face. Those eyes showed a cloudiness as if they were blind. Combined, the whole face is extremely terrifying. If a person sees it suddenly, the first reaction is to shout, turn around and run away, as if seeing an evil ghost coming to the world.

Chen Xue was looking at her, and this dead wood-like old woman was also looking at Chen Xue. At that moment, a gleam of light shone in her turbid eyes. Because this seems to be a girl who walked out of the painting, regardless of her face, eyes, and gaze, they are all so pure and flawless, and have not been contaminated by any worldly dust. And slowly, this brilliance turned into a slight surprise.

People often enter here by mistake, and when they see her, more than half of them will scream, turn around and run away in embarrassment, and the other half of people will be terribly frightened even if they don't run away. She knew how terrifying her face was.

But... the little girl in front of her, who looked only twelve or thirteen years old, just kept looking at her like this, without screaming or running away, and there was not even the slightest trace of fear in those crystal clear and inconceivable eyes. Yes, just surprised and curious.

"Grandma, why are you here? Is this... your home?" Chen Xue asked. After asking, she felt that her question was a bit silly, so she smiled embarrassedly, because how could such a place be possible? Will it be "home".

The ethereal voice was as pure as her eyes, hearing it in her ears, it actually calmed her heart. She spoke with an extremely dry voice: "Little sister... aren't you afraid of me?"

"Huh?" A puzzled expression appeared on Chen Xue's face. After thinking for a while, she asked, "Old lady...why should I be afraid of you? Ah...are you a kind of little monster too?"

Chen Xue's words made the old man laugh, the smile was stiff and scary. Because she hasn't smiled for a long, long time. For as long as she could remember, it was the first time she had laughed since she came here.

"Of course I'm not a monster...Little sister, would you like to sit with me for a while? It's been a long time since anyone talked with me." The old man looked at Chen Xue and said.

"En! Okay." Chen Xue immediately agreed, walked in, and sat on the straw beside the old man. The old man's clothes were extremely tattered, barely enough to cover his body, but they were not dirty, nor did they have any rotten smell. Chen Xue sneaked a few glances at her, her eyes full of curiosity. She can face life and death calmly, and doesn't care about the beauty or ugliness of people's appearance. Moreover, when she first came in, she had an inexplicable feeling... This is a person who is about to die, just like herself who was struggling on the verge of death back then. Because she had endured it before, she really endured this feeling. Sympathetic, she did not refuse the old man's request.

"Little sister, what's your name?"

"My name is Chen Xue."

"Chen Xue... Xue... This is a very suitable name for you." The old man said. Her voice is very gentle, not as scary as her appearance. "You are an adventurer from another world, right?"

Chen Xue thought for a while and said, "Well! It should be considered. Old woman, why are you in such a strange place?"

"Why are you here..." The old man muttered, shaking his head lonely: "Because, the current me has also stayed here, waiting for my death every second."

"Ah?" Chen Xue looked at her in surprise... This person, just like what he felt, is it true that he is about to die?

"My body is as dry as a piece of rotten wood... It doesn't matter if I die, I should have died a hundred years ago, so why do I have to struggle to live until today." The old man murmured.

Chen Xue looked at her in surprise, turned her face, and said seriously: "Old woman, you definitely don't want to die at all, right...then you can't give up. Old woman, you know, I have had a good time before. Severe, very serious illness, almost dying several times. And just a few days ago, I was almost dying, and all the doctors said that my illness was impossible to get better. But, I My brother never gave up on me at all. Just when I was about to die, he really found a way to cure me... Look, old lady, I am getting healthier every day... So, old lady, no You can easily give up your own life. No matter how terrible the disease is, as long as you have hope, you will always find a cure. I really am not lying."

Chen Xue's words made the old man's eyes slightly turbulent again, she laughed again, and then said: "Little sister, what you said is very good...but I am different, I have no disease, just my life ...has burned to the end, except that the legendary water of life can prolong my life for a short time... There is no other hope at all. In fact, I am not afraid of this imminent death. Since I appeared In this sealed place, I have been waiting for this day to come... A hundred years ago, I should have died, and they all thought that I was dead, and it is superfluous for me to live to this day."

Chen Xue blinked her eyes, but did not understand her words.

Because of the concern in her heart, she is very afraid of death now, and she doesn't want to go back to the days when she was struggling on the edge of death and survival every day. Living is always better than dying... Why would she say that it would be superfluous for her to live up to now.

The old man stared at Chen Xue, and murmured slightly: "A girl like a crystal... Is this the last gift of Goddess Xi Yao to me at the end of my life?"

"Little sister, I don't have the ability to walk now...you, can you help me?" the old man said.

Chen Xue nodded: "Well! If I can do it, I will definitely help seriously."

"Thank you, little sister... Can you help me get some water back? There is a stream about 300 meters ahead of here, where you can get water." The old man turned his gaze to the outside of the cave , the dim eyes almost lost any brilliance.

"Okay... I'll go right away, old lady, wait a minute... By the way, old lady, may I know your name? The old lady must have a story." Chen Xue asked curiously with her face up.

"Name... my real name, I have long forgotten. Later, I had a new name, and they all called me Baicao Sage. Only a hundred years ago, Baicao Sage has become a A dead person... but no one knows that she is not dead, but lingers in this sealed place, waiting for death in the passing of life, and can never go back." The old man said in a lonely voice.

"Sage of Baicao? The old lady's name is a little strange... Then I'm going to fetch water. The old lady will just wait for me for a while."
