C1075 Endless Suffering
C1075 Endless Suffering
However, even a Cultivator had such a difficult time. As an ordinary person, how could Little Charcoal reach this place with her thin and weak body? Why would she do such a dangerous thing?
At this moment, both Ye Chen and Red Lotus wanted to find out the answer. If they couldn't find the answer... If they couldn't understand Little Charcoal's thoughts, they wouldn't be able to enter her heart. If she couldn't accept him, it would be a waste of effort for her parents to appear. It wouldn't dispel the negative emotions in her heart and make her truly happy.
After waiting for a while, Little Charcoal made his move.
As a civilian's body of flesh and blood, it was true that resting here could replenish some physical strength. However, if he stayed for a long time, his body would be frozen by the cold wind. It seemed that Little Charcoal understood this point. That was why he chose to continue climbing up before he fully recovered.
She seemed to be very familiar with this place, even if she could only rely on a little bit of light to judge. She was also able to skillfully find the next climbing point, and her thin body stuck tightly to the cliff like a gecko. In order to avoid being blown down by the strong wind, she would then climb up skillfully. It wasn't like the first time he had come here and climbed up here. Realizing this fact made the two of them feel a little more at ease. But at the same time, it made them feel even more anxious.
It wasn't their first time here... It wasn't their first time... they were familiar with climbing points... and they were also familiar with climbing techniques... In other words, Little Charcoal used to do this a lot in the past?
This small body, how much suffering did it have to endure in the past?
It wasn't just the two of them, even Cultivator, who was being held in his hand... After searching the entire Flower Demon King City, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to find anyone of the same age as him. The suffering of someone like Little Charcoal, who had suffered so much, was enough to crush an adult. However, she had to bear it with her tiny body.
Generally speaking, living in this kind of environment, even if she didn't starve to death and die of exhaustion, she would still choose to commit suicide in despair.
Suddenly, such a thought arose in her heart. Although it was unpleasant and creepy just thinking about it, it was not enough to completely erase this thought.
Such a small child, that pair of gray eyes... It was clearly telling him that he had lost the meaning of life and was afraid of this world. And that he had endured such a great ordeal, if it were anyone else... They probably wouldn't have any attachment to this kind of life...
Then what was it that supported Little Charcoal to continue living? Endure to this point in five hell-like years? This child, who should have been in his parents' arms and acting like a spoiled child, had extremely complicated thoughts. Or could it be said to be extremely simple?
All of this was a mystery. Ye Chen and Red Lotus suddenly realized... To truly save Little Charcoal, compared to suppressing the Parasitic Worm's actions, in front of everyone, there seemed to be a more important and priority mission, which was to understand Little Charcoal.
"Your Highness..."
Red Lotus could not bear to see Little Charcoal sticking close to the cliff. Every inch he climbed up was filled with fear and fear. He buried his head in Ye Chen's arms as if he was looking for someone to rely on. She cried out with a sobbing voice.
"Don't worry, with me here, Little Charcoal will be fine."
Lightly patting the red lotus in his arms, Ye Chen stared at Little Charcoal's movements. If anything happened to her, he would immediately rush forward and save her, even if it meant exposing his identity.
However, Little Charcoal didn't give him the chance to expose his identity. Although the process was full of danger, it was like walking on a tightrope in the sky. In the end, she still climbed to the top with her skilled skills and perseverance.
Stepping on the ground, Little Charcoal's body immediately rolled a few times on the ground. Between the mercury hair that was blown by the cold wind, one could see that the half-covered pale face was breathing heavily. The fingers that were covered in bloody marks did not even have the strength to move. There was a trace of relief in his narrowed eyes - it was not that he was not afraid. It was just that compared to being afraid, there were more important feelings that urged her to do so.
After resting for a while, Little Charcoal finally told them the reason why she had worked so hard to get to this place.
On the flat ground at the top of the mountain, there was a grass field with wind behind it, and in the middle was a small piece of plain and simple Iron Thorns Flower.
Although Iron Thorns Flower looked inconspicuous, it could grow in all kinds of bitter and cold places. It was also a kind of herb that could be compared to the wages of mining for a few days.
In this kind of harsh environment, it was just a small piece of grass. A cluster of plain flowers was already a place to cleanse the soul. Little Charcoal squatted beside the grass. He muttered something, and his dim eyes seemed to have a hint of color. It gave people the feeling... Uh, it was as if he was communicating with these flowers about something.
Finally, after saying a few words, she started digging the soil. After picking only three flowers, she stopped and carefully put the Iron Thorns Flower with the soil into her arms. Reaching the edge of the cliff, she took a deep breath and untied the rope tied around her waist.
Then, a shocking and soul-stirring scene appeared. Little Charcoal put one end of the rope on the rock and grabbed the rope with one hand. He rubbed his bare feet against the cliff and slid down just like that.
This was a cliff that was almost 90 degrees, could it really slide down like skiing?
However, the answer was right in front of their eyes. Little Charcoal really did it. Although the rope was not long enough, it could only stop at the landing point. He pulled the rope down, put it back on, and continued to slide. This way, he changed to more than ten landing points in a row. Finally, he slid to the relatively flat foot of the mountain, leaving the dumbfounded trio behind. He jogged all the way back.
This... This was too magical. How could it be described? It was even more unbelievable than seeing antelope jumping freely between cliffs on the plateau. Exactly what kind of nimble skill was needed to be able to achieve such a degree?
Even if it was Ye Chen or any other Cultivator, if he sealed Cultivator's ability, he wouldn't be able to replicate what Little Charcoal did just now. They would only fall down the cliff and roll into pieces.
Unexpectedly, that thin and weak body was full of dexterity and strength. But it was not strange. In these five years, Little Charcoal had done the same thing as those adults. Mining in the ore mine and pulling the ore mine was just a huge shock to Little Charcoal when he descended the mountain.
When he came back to his senses, Little Charcoal's figure had already disappeared into the night sky. The two of them hurriedly followed after him. One should know that they had been following him all the way here. The two of them had encountered a sparse number of Demonic Beasts, although there weren't many of them. However, in this kind of dark night, they were discovered by any one of them. To Little Charcoal, there was only a path of death left. There wouldn't be any other possibility.
Therefore, the road back to the ore mine from the foot of the mountain seemed smooth and easy to walk on, but it was actually no less dangerous than climbing the mountain.
