Anime Special: The Name of the Vulture

Dearest brothers and sisters of Lao Niu, the first season of the animated work "Forty Thousand Years of the Star Field" adapted from "Forty Thousand Years of Cultivation" has been exclusively launched on Tencent Video. Friends who haven't watched it yet, don't miss it. !

In order to warmly celebrate the launch of "Forty Thousand Years of the Star Field", let us answer more questions that everyone cares about!

As we all know, Star Federation superhero, founder of the new Federation, father of "Civilization", Supreme of Myriad Realms, Tyrannosaurus Conqueror, Earth Traverser, Hong Chao Hang, no, Hong Chao Plug-in, the legendary Vulture Li Yao, Since he was a child, he has been a well-educated, gentle, personable, humble and polite person.

So, why does such a humble gentleman with a jade tree facing the wind have such a scary nickname "Vulture"?

In Star Federation, the origin of Li Yao's nickname has been an unsolved mystery for a long time. Historians and related people have different opinions and cannot agree.

So, let's take a look at the most widely circulated and authoritative statement today!

***********

"Brother Yao, there is one thing that I still can't figure out."

Xiao Yao asked me, "Why is your nickname 'Vulture'? It sounds both scary and cunning."

"To survive in a place like the 'Magic Treasure Grave', the nickname must be scary enough!"

I grinned and answered him, "Besides, we garbage bugs who hang out in the magic weapon tomb, rely on recycling the magic weapon fragments and practice garbage that others don't want for a living, in order to make a living, we make it dirty and smelly all day long What's the difference between vultures and vultures that are scavengers?"

The little demon froze for a moment, showing an expression of sudden realization.

In the depths of the eyes, there was a hint of unwillingness.

I know that he doesn't want to stay in the tomb of the magic weapon for the rest of his life, being a dirty, smelly, unknown garbage bug.

Just as I am not reconciled, my life stops here.

So, I patted him on the shoulder hard, and said firmly: "Don't underestimate vultures, in my eyes, vultures are the most amazing animals in the world.

"Perhaps, we are not like falcons, who are born overlords in the air, with a majestic appearance and the ability to stir up the wind and clouds.

"Perhaps, we, who were born humble and unattractive, can only pick up the scraps left by the predators and eat them coldly, and are despised, ridiculed and rejected by the predators above us.

"However, as long as we are given a chance, we can still soar high into the sky, and compete with those naturally extraordinary and majestic falcons in the vast sky!"

My words turned the unwillingness in Xiao Yao's eyes into light.

His gaze crossed my shoulders to the rust lake not far away.

On weekdays, no one likes Rust Lake among the garbage bugs who live in the No. 23 special garbage disposal site.

No one likes this strangely colored, stinking, extremely toxic and corrosive acid pool, nicknamed "the lake".

Only on a starry night.

The Rusty Lake becomes a magical mirror, which absorbs all the stars and stars in it, and releases them in colorful forms, forming a small universe that seems to be within reach and beyond words.

"Will we, one day, be able to... soar to the sky?"

The little demon murmured, her expression half doubtful, half yearning.

"certainly."

I said confidently, "Believe me, we will never be garbage bugs for the rest of our lives, we will definitely change our destiny and stand out from the crowd.

"Next, I will definitely be admitted to the joint school of the Nine Universities and become a cultivator.

"Everyone in the Vulture Gang, including you, Xiao Yao, will surely be able to realize their ideals.

"Don't say 'going up to the sky', even if you want to travel across the stars and seas, and across the world, as long as we have the courage to fight hard, it is not a dream!"

Maybe I was exaggerating, Xiao Yao couldn't help laughing.

He didn't seem to believe what I said, but he still nodded his head emphatically: "I believe in you, Brother Yao, you will definitely lead us across the Xinghai, invincible!"

The little demon and I were talking, stepping on the crumbling garbage dump, running all the way back: "Here we come, the wild wolf gang is here!"

For a moment, the air suddenly froze, and the smiles on the faces of Xiao Yao and the surrounding partners also froze, replaced by nervousness.

"finally come."

I squinted my eyes and stared not far away at the murderous figures of those guys from the Wild Wolf Gang, slowly exhaling a foul breath.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are struggles.

The federal No. 23 special garbage disposal site located in the southern suburb of Fuge City is not large in scale.

For those of us who have nothing and can only fight with our lives, it is also a "river and lake" that we have to survive and have to fight for.

The Wild Wolf Gang and our Vulture Gang are equally famous, and together they have become the two largest forces in this river and lake.

However, our style of work is one heaven and one earth.

We, the Vulture Gang, are a group of lonely teenagers. In order to survive, they huddle together to keep warm and work together to form a force naturally.

In the vulture gang, everyone is brothers and sisters connected by blood, and the money earned is shared equally by everyone. Even if we pick up an unfinished high-energy nutrient solution, we will give it to the hungriest friend to drink first.

The Wild Wolf Gang bullied and dominated the market, plundered and plundered, and committed crimes. It was simply a cancer parasitic on the tomb of this magic weapon.

When I was young and my strength was low, my friends and I were often bullied by the Wild Wolf Gang.

It wasn't until I gradually grew up and became stronger that I organized all the orphans to fight wits and courage with the wolf gang, and the situation improved slightly.

Obviously, the Wild Wolf Gang will not just watch me continue to grow and make the Vulture Gang bigger and stronger.

The contradiction between the two sides has broken through the critical point.

It's time to make a break!

I turned around and looked around at my partner behind me.

The friends nodded to me one after another, and some even waved shovels and iron rods to indicate that they were ready to fight.

very good.

Under my leadership, the orphans who had nothing in the past and were bullied by others have all become warriors with firm eyes, never flinching, and dare to fight to the death for their destiny.

I was a little relieved, my eyes turned around, and then returned to my side, Xiao Yao's body.

Xiao Yao is the thinnest and most incapable of fighting among the vulture gang's friends.

His character is also a little weak, afraid of conflict with others, and even more afraid of seeing blood.

However, he has more dexterous hands than anyone else.

The old magic weapons we usually pick up, even if they look tattered or even riddled with holes, can be repaired in all likelihood after his treatment.

Xiao Yao is the repairman of the vulture gang. Usually, we are reluctant to let him participate in the fight.

However, today the vulture gang came out in full force, leaving him alone at home, he would be vulnerable to a sneak attack by the wild wolf gang.

I'd be more at ease if I had him with me.

"Little demon, don't be afraid, just stay at the end and watch how I beat that hyena!"

I saw Xiao Yao's nervousness and comforted him.

"I, I see."

The little demon's voice trembled a little.

"I told you to be fine and practice more martial arts."

Seeing him pretending to be calm, I couldn't help joking, "You're so weak, how can you join me in the future to cross the stars and dominate the wind and clouds?"

"Who, who said I'm 'weak'!"

The little demon waved his fist in disbelief, blushing a little, and said in a low voice, "Anyway, there are Brother Yao, Datou, and everyone, you are all so good at fighting, I just need to concentrate on learning magic weapon maintenance and refining techniques, In the future, I can refine the most powerful magic weapon for you, and I will always follow Brother Yao, you will be fine!"

Seems to know that I will always cover him, Xiao Yao is no longer so nervous.

My attention was also refocused on the front.

"Vulture!"

The leader of the Wild Wolf Gang, Wild Wolf, is tall and burly, with a swollen face and fierce eyes, wearing a leather armor studded with steel nails, and carrying a gleaming fire ax on his shoulder, striding forward. Like a monster in human skin, it roared fiercely.

"Wild wolf!"

I greeted them.

Today's battle will determine the fate of countless partners.

Even if he is really a monster, I will not be intimidated by him.

The two sides have been feuding for a long time, and the contradiction is so deep that it can no longer be resolved in a few words.

It's useless to talk, we just brandished our weapons and rushed towards each other.

Behind us, the buddies of the Vulture Gang and the gangsters of the Wild Wolf Gang also uttered the loudest roars, turning into two frenzied waves, colliding fiercely with each other.

"boom!"

The wolf's fire ax and my mace collided with dazzling sparks.

This mace is made by Xiao Yao using a scrapped transmission shaft of a shuttle car, plus iron teeth and steel nails, and carefully welded. It is powerful and extremely hard. The protective cover of the magic weapon can be smashed.

Even so, I was still so shocked by the wild wolf that my mouth was bleeding and my palms were numb.

This bastard really deserves to be the number one expert who ran amok in the tomb of the magic weapon before I rose up.

However, the wild wolf who retreated three steps in a row was more surprised than me.

He obviously didn't expect that the little vulture who could only be trampled under his feet and bullied by him in the past has grown to the point where he is capable of soaring into the sky.

"Come again!"

I could see his hesitation, grinned, and swung the mace into an unstoppable whirlwind.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

I fought three times with the wild wolf without any fancy.

My tiger's mouth was bloody and blood was overflowing from the nasal cavity and the corners of my mouth.

The situation of the wild wolf was worse than mine. Not only did he retreat again and again, but there was a slight bone cracking sound from inside his arm, and the hesitation on his face turned into panic.

That horrified expression seemed to be yelling wildly: "How is it possible, when did you become so strong!"

I know that in terms of combat effectiveness, the little friends of the Vulture Gang are definitely not the opponents of this group of gangsters under Wild Wolf.

However, the king is the first to capture the thief. As long as I can kill the wild wolf, I will have a chance to defeat the leaderless wild wolf gang in one go!

Therefore, even if the tiger's mouth burst open, there seemed to be electric arcs around the arms, burning with flames, and the pain was extremely painful.

I still gritted my teeth, squeezed out all my strength, once, twice, three times, and the mace frantically swung towards the wild wolf.

The wild wolf was intimidated by my maddened and fearless aura, and only had the strength to parry.

In a panic, he didn't pay attention to his feet, and was caught by a steel bar protruding from a garbage pile, and he fell backwards.

My eyes were wide open, and I was about to make a final decision.

Suddenly, I heard the exclamation of the little demon from beside me.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a member of the wolf gang, wielding a rusty shovel, and slapped him hard on the head.

I hurriedly turned the direction, the mace knocked the shovel flying, and kicked the wild wolf gang members on the waist and eyes again, kicking this guy more than ten meters away.

"What are you doing!"

I growled at the little demon, "Didn't I tell you to stay behind?"

"I, I want to help you."

Xiao Yao was still in shock, "I want to fight side by side with you...Brother Yao, be careful!"

In the eyes of the little demon, I saw a wild wolf rushing towards me with a grinning face.

He also heard the sound of "huhu" breaking the wind behind him.

It was too late to turn around and fight again.

Although the mace caught the fire ax in time, I couldn't use 100% of my strength.

The fire ax pressed down on the mace, and the momentum remained undiminished. The blade of the ax was deeply embedded in my shoulder blade.

I was in so much pain that my eyes were staring, I took a deep breath, and my nostrils were immediately filled with the stench of wild wolves.

"No!"

The little demon let out the most vicious scream I have ever heard, and rushed towards the wild wolf.

I never thought that such a berserk power is hidden in his body, who is thin and short.

He was waving the dagger like a little sparrow, trying to use his immature minions to entangle the ferocious falcon.

Even if he died, he would tear off even a single feather from the falcon.

"asshole!"

The wild wolf became angry from embarrassment.

With a reputation for viciousness, he never expected that even such a weak little trick as Xiao Yao would dare to provoke him.

The deeply insulted wild wolf knocked me out with a fierce knee kick.

And his fist, like an electrified drill bit, penetrated deeply into the little demon's abdomen.

Xiao Yao's skin instantly turned red, and his whole body arched like a cooked shrimp.

The wild wolf grabbed him by the hair and picked him up.

His expression was ferocious like a ghost, as if he wanted to swallow the little demon in one gulp.

He swung the blood-stained fire ax high and aimed it at the little demon's neck.

That is, my blood.

This scene made my brain go blank.

The eyes are full of pictures of the past, working together with the little demon, and showing utter sincerity.

There is a deep bone wound on the shoulder blade, and I can't feel any pain.

But it seemed that there was a golden flame burning fiercely in the deepest part of his body.

"Let go! Mine! Brother!"

I don't know where my strength comes from.

It is as if my body is like a rust lake, containing a mysterious and unpredictable small universe.

And at this moment, all the billions of stars in the small universe exploded, giving me endless energy.

My strength and speed broke through the limit in an instant, and continued to break through the limit of the limit.

I haven't practiced it on weekdays, and the stumbling moves are even smoother and more proficient.

I swung my mace into a storm of lightning and thunder.

The wild wolf was powerless to fight back.

Even the fire ax flew aside.

The leather armor studded with iron nails quickly fell apart.

It exposed the criss-crossing wounds below, with deep bone visible and bleeding wounds profusely.

His expression changed from horror to pain, from pain to fear, from fear to despair.

The surrounding wild wolf gang members also changed from stunned to stunned.

Following the invincible leader in their eyes, he was beaten back steadily by me.

The ferocious flames that supported their rampant domineering also shattered and dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"boom!"

I yelled violently, stepped forward, exerted all my strength, and slammed a stick on the wolf's chest.

In the wolf's chest cavity, there was a "crackling" sound of bones exploding.

He spurted blood wildly, and flew out like a kite with a broken string, rolling down the slope of the rubbish mountain all the way to the foot of the mountain.

This scene completely broke the will of the Wild Wolf Gang.

The gangsters looked at each other in blank dismay, dispersed, turned around and ran away.

No one cares whether the wolf lives or dies.

These guys were originally just a rabble who were forcibly gathered together by violence.

When the wild wolf loses its violence, they will naturally not show any loyalty to him.

"Won?"

"we won!"

Until now, my little friends are still ignorant.

Everyone was out of breath and looked at each other in blank dismay. No one could believe that the victory came so easily.

"Brother Yao!"

The little demon saw that my skin was torn apart, I was drenched in blood, and I was on the verge of falling, so she hurried forward to support me, both excited and blamed herself, "You saved my life again!"

I looked at his bruised nose and swollen face, and thought of the scene where he threw himself at the wild wolf in spite of everything just now, and I couldn't help laughing: "My brother, your life is my life, what are you talking about thank you for?

"It's just that, I didn't expect that you kid is usually thin and weak, and when you go crazy, you are quite powerful. How dare you single out with the wild wolf?"

"I……"

Only then did the little demon realize that he was afraid, his face turned pale inch by inch, and he asked me in disbelief, "Did I really jump on the wild wolf just now?"

"That's right!"

I laughed out loud, "You just know now?"

The laughter affected the wound, and I "hissed" and gasped.

The little demon wanted to bandage me up, so I waved my hand and walked to the edge of the garbage mountain to check the situation of the wolf.

I must see what happens to this famous villain.

And just when I squinted my eyes and looked down through the starlight, I happened to see a wild wolf covered in blood, like a ghost crawling out of hell, throwing a bunch of black things at the garbage. On the top of the mountain, he swung it hard.

By the time I realized what it was, it was too late.

"Lie down, spar bomb!"

I was frightened and angry, screaming desperately.

It was unbelievable that the wild wolf was so crazy that he dared to detonate the spar bomb on the loose garbage mountain filled with aura.

boom!

A huge fireball exploded in front of my eyes, and the night turned into day in an instant.

Without even thinking about it, I opened my arms and stood in front of the little demon.

Boom boom boom!

The explosion triggered a chain reaction of discarded magic weapons, forming overlapping shock waves in an instant, like a tornado storm, rolling up the mountain of garbage under my feet and me.

For a moment, time seemed to stand still.

I and countless flaming magic weapon fragments were fixed in midair.

Even with all my might, I couldn't escape the raging flames.

The only thing that can be done is to squeeze out the last ounce of strength from the depths of the cells, and push the little demon far away.

"Brother Yao!"

The last thing I heard was the heart-piercing scream of the little demon.

The last thing I saw was the boundless darkness gushing out from the depths of the flames.

...

three months later.

The water glass and I are only one finger apart.

With all my might, I leaned over and tried to grab it.

Roots seemed to grow out of my unconscious lower body, tightly entangled on the bed, making me unable to move a single bit.

I heard the "crackling" sound of bones exploding in my body.

No matter how sluggish the lower body is, the pain in the upper body is the same.

Like bunches of electric arcs and flames intertwined, they drilled out from the depths of the bones, trying to tear my soul into pieces.

I gritted my teeth, endured the severe pain, and threw myself forward.

Although his fingers touched the water glass, his body lost his balance. Not only did he smash the water glass to pieces, but he also fell heavily on the cold ground.

"Brother Yao? What's wrong with you!"

Hearing the sound, Xiao Yao rushed into the room and hurriedly helped me up.

He said anxiously, "The doctor has said that recovery training is a very long process, and you can't rush it for a while. If you want to take medicine or drink water, just call me, don't be brave!"

"Go, go away!"

My eyes were staring from the pain, and I was dripping with cold sweat, but I hardened my heart and pushed the little demon, "Who told you to come here? At this moment, you should be studying hard, you should be practicing hard, you should Try your best to get out of this damn magic treasure tomb, instead of wasting precious time on me, a useless person!"

"Brother Yao—"

The little demon was unmoved, and stubbornly shook his head and said, "You did this to save me. I owe you my life. No matter what, I will help you stand up again and become that majestic vulture again." '!"

As he spoke, he took out a beautifully packaged dark blue potion from his pocket, and waved it in front of my eyes.

"'Rebirth-6' spinal cord growth fluid?"

I recognized it immediately, this is the most effective medicine for spinal trauma on the market.

It is also the doctor who said that the only possibility is to cure me.

The problem is, this wonder drug is expensive.

It's not something we powerless, lonely garbage bugs can afford.

I looked at the spinal cord growth fluid in Xiao Yao's hand, then at his disheveled hair, sunken cheeks, bloodshot eyes, and the criss-crossing, dense and shocking tiny wounds on his fingers. what happened?

"How long has it been since you slept?"

I gritted my teeth and almost wanted to scold this kid, "Aren't you going to stay up for days and nights, help people repair magic weapons like crazy, earn money desperately, and come to help me buy these special medicines?

"Damn it, crafting is a thing that consumes a lot of eyesight and heart. It is prone to various accidents when you are tired of operating it for a long time. There is no safety guarantee for the magic weapon in the magic weapon tomb, and the risk factor of recycling and repairing is extremely high!

"You're still underage, with crazy repairs like this, excessive overdraw every minute, retinal detachment, cerebral blood vessel burst, and even an accident, blowing off ten fingers, ruining your future, do you know that!"

"Brother Yao, don't worry."

The little demon just laughed, "I know it well, I can bear it."

"You can't bear it!"

I yelled, "Again, don't do stupid things, don't waste time on me, don't delay your dreams because of me! My injury has nothing to do with you, it's all done by wild wolves, this is my life , I will carry it myself!"

"Brother Yao, save your saliva, I will definitely help you stand up again."

Xiao Yao turned a deaf ear, her face was calm, but her voice was extremely firm, "You know, once I make up my mind, no one can change it."

Seeing his extremely stubborn appearance, I was speechless for a while.

The eye sockets involuntarily heated up.

This is the third month since the final battle between the Vultures and the Wolves.

In the decisive battle three months ago, although I successfully "beheaded" the wild wolf.

But the frenzied wild wolf desperately threw the spar bomb, triggering a chain reaction of discarded magic weapons, which also caused heavy damage to the vulture gang.

I was the first to suffer the most injuries.

Not only dozens of fractures, burns, concussions and organ contusions.

The most terrible thing is that my spinal cord was broken by the shock wave, which made my lower body unconscious and could only be paralyzed on the bed.

My friends managed to find an unlicensed underground clinic and saved my life.

Follow-up treatment, but can only be resigned to fate.

The black-market doctor in the underground clinic said, in fact, my most serious problem was not the torn spinal cord and half-paralyzed body.

But before that, I over-squeezed the cells and overdrawn my life, which caused cracks in the meridians and spiritual veins.

I see.

It turned out that I suddenly became so brave, and with a destructive attitude, I saved the little demon and beat up the wild wolf. It was not a "miracle".

Instead, I paid the price of "burning my life, overdrawing my soul, and it is impossible to awaken my spiritual root again in this lifetime", in exchange for a moment of brilliance.

The black market doctor said, even if I still have a 1 in 10,000 chance, I can stand up again.

It is absolutely, absolutely, absolutely impossible to become a cultivator.

I stayed in bed for three whole months.

In order to save his life, he had to use a large dose of hormone shock therapy.

Although the therapy is effective, the side effects are equally strong.

The hormones made me bloated, fat, sluggish, like a scarred fat pig.

The vulture that once fluttered its wings and wanted to fly was so far away that it seemed like it happened in the previous life.

Occasionally, when I see myself in the mirror, I have to hesitate for a few seconds before I can slowly accept that I have become a useless person beyond recognition.

It's just that I have accepted the mercy of fate.

Xiao Yao is still unwilling to admit defeat to fate.

He always felt that I did this to save him.

If it wasn't for me at the moment of the explosion, I desperately stood in front of him and pushed him far away.

He should be the one who is scarred, bloated, and whose future is ruined.

So, he tried his best to heal me and hope I could get back to normal.

In order to earn high medical expenses, he often stays up for several days and nights to help people repair magic weapons—most of the time, the repairs are extremely dangerous and unstable aggressive magic weapons.

In order to keep the signs supporting the "Vulture Gang" alive during the days when I was down, he, who is short and weak, also imitated the big heads and the others, wielding shovels and steel rods, fighting with other garbage bugs. Territory, magic weapon.

In order to help me with my recovery training, he racked his brains and made a lot of weird medical equipment.

In order to ensure the effectiveness of the medical equipment, he even did experiments on himself first, often grinning in pain and breaking out in cold sweat.

I don't know how to evaluate what Xiao Yao has done for me.

I have many brothers.

The little demon is the stupidest of them all.

So stupid that every day I see him fighting for me, I get furious. I really want to kick him out of the magic weapon's grave, and keep him as far away from me as a useless person.

"It's useless, brother Yao, you have to listen to me now."

Xiao Yao said, "Even if you want to kick me, you have to stand up first!"

All right.

Makes sense.

In order not to drag down his stupidest and best brother, in order for him to leave the tomb of the magic weapon and embark on the real road of chasing dreams.

I must, stand up.

next three months.

Every second, I'm wrestling with my damn spine.

Unconscious from the start.

Gradually, I could feel the piercing pain coming from the depths of my spinal cord.

I can't move from half a toe.

Gradually, I was able to move my swollen feet inch by inch on the bed.

Although every inch I moved, it hurt so much that I wanted to find a flying sword and insert it into my brain.

However, when I think of what Xiao Yao has done for me, I will never give up.

"Perhaps, I have become a waste."

I said to myself, "But even if you are a waste, you can at least stand up with your own strength!"

The black market doctor in the underground clinic said that my recovery speed far exceeded his expectation.

There is simply no one in a million, a rare existence.

But I know that time is running out.

Half a year ago, both the Vulture Gang and the Wild Wolf Gang suffered losses.

Many strong dragons crossing the river took advantage of the gap and stepped into the No. 23 special garbage disposal site.

The bastards of the wild wolf gang in the past also gradually regained their vitality, and began to move around again.

If I don't get up soon enough, I won't be able to frighten these bastards with the sign "The Vulture Gang."

I'm desperately trying to recover.

The crisis came sooner than expected.

It was a bright and sunny day.

The little demon pushed the wheelchair and took me to bask in the long-lost sun.

Bedridden for half a year, it took away my vigilance.

Before we knew it, we had left Vulture territory.

When we realized that a group of hideous guys were quietly surrounding us, it was too late.

They are all members of the Wild Wolf Gang in the past.

Now he has taken refuge in Guojiang Qianglong again, and his arrogance has regained his arrogance.

"Yo Yo Yo!"

There was a green light in the eyes of these guys, like a hungry hyena, "Isn't this the legendary 'Vulture' Long Tianyao? How did he become like this!"

"Hahahaha, someone told me that the vulture turned into a fat pig. I didn't believe it at first, but I didn't expect it to be true!"

"Long Tianyao, looking at your virtue, why are you called 'Vulture'? Just change your nickname and call it 'Fat Dragon'!"

This group of guys, the villains are successful, and they ridiculed wantonly.

The little demon was trembling with anger, and rushed towards these bastards.

This was exactly what they wanted, these bastards didn't follow the rules of one-on-one, they rushed forward, punched and kicked, and knocked the little demon to the ground.

"This kid is a gold medal repairman of the Vulture Gang, and he helped Long Tianyao earn a lot of medical expenses!"

"Gold Medal Repairer? I have disabled his hands, so that he can't even get the iron medal!"

"Without this kid's help, let's see how Long Tianyao can stand up and be a fucking vulture? Be a fat dragon for the rest of your life!"

A few bastards stepped on Xiao Yao's hands.

A bastard raised his shovel high.

The edge of the shovel is sharp, like a cold sword.

The scene in front of him overlapped with the scene where the little demon was choked by wild wolves half a year ago.

My mind went blank again.

Only endless flames are left, gushing out from the depths of the brain.

I let out a deafening growl.

Like an iron tower, it rises from the wheelchair.

The surrounding rubbish mountains were stirred up by my roar, and landslides and collapses occurred unexpectedly.

These bastards were all overwhelmed by my aura, thinking of my once great reputation, their faces turned pale with fright, and they were at a loss.

"Brother Yao, little demon!"

Datou waited for the brothers of the Vulture Gang to arrive in time and dispersed the bullying bastards.

"Little demon, how are you?"

At this time, I didn't realize that I had miraculously stood up.

All my attention is on the little demon.

Seeing that his hands, which are more precious than life as a magic weapon repairer, were not destroyed by those bastards, I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Yao, you, you finally stood up!"

But he was staring straight at my legs, ignoring his own injuries, with an incomparably bright smile on his bruised and swollen face.

...

I haven't seen you in half a year. The Rusty Lake at night is still so beautiful.

"Thank you, little demon."

Standing by the lake with a cane on my back, I looked at my best brother, "Without your help, I couldn't stand up so fast, no, it's impossible to stand up again in this life."

"Brother Yao, what are you talking about?"

Xiao Yao scratched her head, her face full of embarrassment, "This is what I should do, after all, I owe you my life!"

I opened my mouth, pondered for a moment, and then swallowed the words back.

I know that sometimes, Xiao Yao, a seemingly weak guy, has amazing persistence.

On the issue of "do you owe me your life", he will never give in.

"Yes, you do owe me your life."

I stared at him seriously and said, "So, how are you going to pay it back?"

Xiao Yao was a little surprised, thought for a while, and said: "I will continue to work hard to make money, help you buy more advanced medicines, increase your spiritual root development speed again, and restore the hope of awakening!"

"No, my spiritual root has been crippled, and it is impossible to become a cultivator in this life."

I said, "If you really want to give me back this life, then listen to me and pay it in another way."

The little demon was stunned: "Brother Yao, how do you want to pay it back?"

"It's very simple."

I smiled and said, "Instead of me, become a cultivator; instead of me, leave the tomb of the magic weapon and rise to the top; instead of me, soar to the sky and dominate the sky, making the entire Star Federation feel shocked and proud; instead of me, let the name 'Vulture' , shining above the sea of ​​stars!"

The little demon was dumbfounded.

But I didn't allow him to say "I can't".

"Listen, little demon, I have never begged anyone in my life, but today, I want to beg you as a big brother."

I was very serious, and said in a deep voice, "Maybe you haven't realized how amazing your potential is, but I know very well that you are definitely not the kind of person who should waste your talent in the tomb of magic weapons and waste your life.

"You are just like me in the past, you should not belong here, you should belong to a higher, bigger and more exciting stage.

"I know that you value feelings. In the past six months, no matter how bad I have become, you have not given up on me.

"But now, with your help, I have regained the ability to stand, move and take care of myself, and I can face... a new destiny alone.

"If you continue to drag you down, I will never feel at ease for the rest of my life.

"So, if you still recognize me as a big brother, admit that you owe me your life, and want to help me, then do as I say.

"Replace me to realize dreams on a higher and bigger stage, replace me to a world that is impossible to go in this life, and do things that are impossible to do in this life!"

What I said made Xiao Yao think for a long time.

His eyes were extremely deep, and his expression was extremely calm.

He is like a lump of steel, standing on the edge of the rust lake.

Until the starlight reflected on the surface of the acid liquid, it turned into a colorful halo, as if a brand new small universe appeared in front of us.

Only then did Xiao Yao let out a long breath of turbid air, and his eyes became clear again, as if he had made up his mind.

"Brother Yao—"

Xiao Yao suddenly said something completely irrelevant, "I want to change my name."

"What?"

I froze for a moment, "What's wrong with the name 'Li Xiaoyao'?"

"No problem, it's just that it's not domineering enough."

Xiao Yao shrugged his shoulders, "Li Xiao Yao, it really doesn't seem like a name that can soar into the sky and cross the sea of ​​stars."

I blinked and realized that Xiao Yao had set a new goal in life and would no longer be dragged down by me, so I couldn't help but feel happy.

"Well."

I asked, "What do you want your name to be."

"Let me think about it, what do you think of Li Yao?"

The little demon looked at me with piercing eyes, and said word by word, "Long Tianyao's 'Yao'!"

"Li Yao..."

Warmth welled up in my chest.

I know that the little demon wants to use this method to replace me and realize an incomparably wonderful dream.

"Very good, Li Yao is very good."

I nodded heavily, and said with a smile, "'Vulture Li Yao' sounds more pleasing to the ear than 'Vulture Long Tianyao'. I have a vague hunch that sooner or later, this name will definitely resound through the sky!"

"Vulture Li Yao?"

Little demon, no, Li Yao never thought that I would entrust him with the name of Vulture.

"listen to me."

I said seriously, "If there is anyone in today's Vulture Gang who can carry forward the name of Vulture, it must be you.

"Or, do you think this name is too ugly to be worthy of you?"

"how come!"

Li Yao laughed dumbly, scratched his head and said, "I was just thinking, if my name is 'Vulture', then what about you, brother Yao, what should you be called?"

"I don't care, you can call me whatever you want."

I spread my hands and said, "How about...just call it 'Fat Dragon'?"

"Fat dragon?"

Li Yao's eyes widened: "Are you kidding me!"

"No kidding."

With the help of crutches, I gritted my teeth and moved my steps. With the help of the starlight in the rust lake, I saw my current appearance clearly again.

Because of the hormone shock, I was still as bloated and obese as ever.

But I don't know why, after watching it for half a year, I gradually got used to my new look.

"Fat Dragon, so what?"

I said to Li Yao and myself in Rust Lake, "The name is just a code name, whether it is a vulture or a fat dragon, I am me, I am Long Tianyao!

"Regardless of whether I can become a cultivator or not, now that I have stood up again, I will not allow myself to fall casually. I will live a new life with a brand new look—belonging to Fat Dragon, the extremely wonderful Life!"

Li Yao was moved.

The eyes that looked at me were full of shock and admiration.

"Xiao Yao, no, Ayao, don't worry about me, I've fully recovered!"

I grinned, and slapped Li Yao's shoulder heavily. The two brothers stood side by side, looking at the small universe rising from the rust lake.

"Go, Li Yao the Vulture!"

I murmured, "Do my best, soar to the sky, fly to the sky, fly to billions of stars, fly to places that no one can imagine, to struggle, to fight, to burn, to shine , to realize the dream you and I... share!"

Long Tianyao is not only Li Yao's childhood friend and witness of Li Yao's early adventure career, but also one of the first scholars in Star Federation to summarize Li Yao's life, excavate Li Yao's experience, and refine Li Yao's spirit.

"Even if we are born ordinary and live in hardship, we are just humble vultures, but as long as we dare to fight hard, refuse to admit defeat, don't believe in evil, and don't accept fate, we will have the opportunity to soar into the sky and compete with the majestic eagle." ——The original "vulture spirit" originated from Long Tianyao's summary.

It is also a very inspirational story for Long Tianyao to become a well-known scholar and entrepreneur from a garbage bug in the tomb of the magic weapon.

During the long years when Li Yao stayed away from the Star Federation and explored the ancient holy world, Long Tianyao, who was still unknown and not highly educated at that time, was encouraged and helped by Li Yao's lover Jin Xinyue, following the example of his good brother Li Yao, Starting from scratch, studying hard and constantly studying, under the pseudonym of "Fat Dragon", he wrote a large number of works about Li Yao, digging deep into the unknown but wonderful stories of the young Li Yao.

It is these stories that allow hundreds of millions of federal citizens to see a more real, vivid and charismatic Li Yao.

From then on, the name "Vulture Li Yao" gradually surpassed all other super federal heroes in the past hundreds of years, becoming a symbol of the federation and an immortal legend.

It can be said that Li Yao, who has gone through vicissitudes and returned to the Federation, has ten times more popularity than before. Long Tianyao, a "researcher of Li Yao's life, a refiner of vulture spirit, and a promoter of Li Yao's brand", has contributed a lot .

And after earning the first pot of gold by relying on generous royalties, Long Tianyao successfully transformed again, acquiring and upgrading hundreds of special waste disposal plants.

Starting from the painful experience of himself and Li Yao struggling to survive in the special garbage disposal site when he was a child, he invested a lot of money to improve the working environment of the practitioners, improve the safety factor of recycling discarded magic weapons, and build up dirty and messy "magic weapon graves" one after another. It has become a brand-new "Magic Treasure Paradise", even under the brand of "Vulture", with the theme of "Magic Treasure Excavation, Assembly, Maintenance, Competition", it is a fun and educational playground suitable for all ages and full of fun.

And he himself has become known far and wide as the "King of Garbage".

What's even more commendable is that while realizing his own value, Long Tianyao did not forget to realize his social value and his original aspirations with Li Yao.

In the name of "Vulture Li Yao", he has been silently donating money to support the orphans all over the Xingyao Federation. Due to various reasons, they have lost their parents and have no one to rely on. They can only make a living by picking up garbage.

According to incomplete statistics, the number of "garbage bugs" who received funding from Long Tianyao to change their fate has reached as many as a thousand.

For a long time, Li Yao's relatives and friends who stayed in the Star Federation, as well as people from all walks of life, were looking for this kind-hearted person who did good deeds without leaving his name, but attributed all honors to Li Yao.

In the end, the careful Jin Xinyue found clues from the remittance records and discovered Long Tianyao's secret.

Long Tianyao was also listed among the "Top Ten Persons Who Touched the Federation of the Year" because of this kind deed.

"It's nothing, I just did what he would definitely do on behalf of my good brother Li Yao."

At the awards ceremony, Long Tianyao smiled lightly.

It is said that when Li Yao finally returned to the Commonwealth, he heard about what Long Tianyao had done for him, and even saw with his own eyes that thousands of childhood friends grew up in his name. When repaying society's "garbage bugs".

Even Li Yao himself, who had already set foot on the top of the star sea, was dumbfounded, his heart was ups and downs, and he couldn't believe it.

This is Long Tianyao.

This is Fat Dragon.

This is Li Yao the vulture, his best brother!
