On a piece of green grass, wrapped in tree leaves, the petite Tao was still busy with the carpentry work in her hand. She just broke the dozens of meters tall tree outside her home yesterday and carried it back.
The tree trunks were chopped into pieces and used to make a shelter from wind and rain.
Tao turned her head and looked outside the cave, only to see a child covered by leaves also running back. The child had a long and slender red mark on his forehead. He looked cute and was carrying a bag on his back.
A fluffy little beast. The little beast tilted its head, obviously it had been dead for a long time.
The child who ran back flaunted the animal carcass on his back and threw it in front of Tao. A pair of slender ears swayed up and down, looking particularly excited.
"Look, I've never seen such a beautiful animal! It must be something newly created by the Lord God. I just saw it not long after it fell from the [Big Hollow]!"
Tao sighed when he heard this, but still glanced at the little beast that his brother carried back. Looking up and down, the animal had no weird odor, nor any extra tentacles or twists.
The limbs are pretty good compared to the dangerous monsters that fell from the big holes before.
It seems that the Lord God's creation will soon have more things besides those trees.
Tao glanced outside the cave and saw a huge hole out of thin air in the blue sky. Water like a waterfall continued to fall in the hole, filling the bare continent into a very shallow one.
On the surface of the water, there are often creations falling out of the hole, but most of them are twisted monsters.
"It's nice to look at, but, handle, mother won't let us go there. If you run to the big hollow again, don't worry, I won't stop you."
"It's not fair. Tsuki goes out a lot. Why do you just say I don't talk about her? It's not fair!"
"Because she won't cause trouble and knows where to go and where not to go. Unlike you, who runs around every time and asks me to rescue you when you get into trouble. Moreover, this is what my mother said, and my mother said no.
We're close there!"
"Mother, mother, mother, hum, you always say you have seen your mother, you are obviously lying! We have never seen her, and we can't even hear her talk often. Why do you say you have? Let me tell you, you must be
You lied to us! Mother never said this at all!"
"What did you say?!"
Tao turned her head angrily, even putting down the carpentry work that her little hands were previously focused on. Looking at her younger brother Shan, who was already slightly taller than herself, Tao's momentum was not weak at all.
As the first elf to be born, the eldest sister appointed by her mother, Peng was frightened by Tao's serious face and took several steps back. However, she was not as convinced as before. Instead, she pinched her neck, blushed and shouted loudly,
"I'm telling you, you're a liar! You've never met your mother! I'm already taller than you, and you still take care of me! I don't want you to take care of me!"
Tao didn't say a word, but the expression on her face became more and more ugly. She raised her pink fist, frightened the handle in front of her and made her body tremble, but she refused to admit defeat and kicked the animal carcass lying next to it.
The great power born from the mythical species directly kicked the little beast's body into the wall in an instant.
"Boom!"
The innocent animal corpse exploded instantly, and the whole cave made a huge explosion. The most important thing was that the flesh and blood in the corpse instantly spattered out, covering the bed and table next to them where they usually rest.
.
"You guy!"
The veins on Tao's forehead bulged out, but her younger brother, Handi, who was holding her neck in front of her and started to cry at the corners of her eyes, refused to give in at all. The two of them had been arguing for more than a day or two. Handi grew older and became more and more curious about the outside world.
, unwilling to stay in the mountains where they were born day after day, and even less willing to listen to Tao, who resolutely followed his mother's orders.
In human terms, he has a little rebellious streak.
"I don't want to come back, just stay here!"
Handle's eyes turned red, her face pouted, and she turned away, while Tao's raised pink fist never came down. She just watched helplessly as Handle turned her head and walked out of the cave, and then disappeared with a loud bang.
Tao glanced back at the mess in the cave with hatred, but just turned back without saying a word and continued the carpentry work at hand.
"Click"
But after assembling it for a long time, the two pieces of wood couldn't be put together. It was only then that Tao couldn't help but sigh and looked at the sky outside the cave. There was another sound coming from the big hole there.
The roaring sound must be that the creations are still falling continuously.
In the past few days, the Lord God has dropped more creations than in the past, and the cracks above the big hollow fluctuate very strangely. But that guy still has to show off his temper and run around. It's really
Tao thought for a few seconds, then dropped the pieces of wood in his hand, ignoring the blood behind him for the time being, and just walked out of the cave, looking around at the scene outside.
At the door, a beautiful little girl with black hair and long ears was lying on the grass not far from the cave, closing her eyes to relax. Seeing Tao walk out of the cave, she opened a pair of blue-gold dilated pupils.
He looked at Tao boredly and said hello,
"Sister~"
This is their sister, Tsuki.
Tao frowned, looking like a little adult, and just asked,
"Where's that guy?"
"Ah, I don't know, maybe he ran away again? Maybe he went to the big hollow."
"The Big Hollow"
There was really no way around it. In this vast forest, only the creatures descended by their three mothers could speak. The rest were either plants or various strange monsters descended from the large hollow.
Those monsters have a strong desire to attack and are ugly. According to my mother, they are "failures" created by the Lord God and are very dangerous. This is why Tao obeyed her mother and ran there.
But there was a big quarrel just now, and now it seems Tao must go there to take a look.
"You stay here while I look for a handle."
"Okay~"
Tsuki didn't move, lying down again calmly and comfortably. This sister made Tao worry-free, but it seemed a little too worry-free.
The whole world is not quiet. There are already many strange insects chirping in the dense jungle and birds sitting on the branches curiously looking at the peaches on the hillside. These are all the creations that have been successfully left behind.
The dangerous "failure" would disappear inexplicably soon, and Tao didn't know what happened.
But the animal that the bratty brother brought back just now should be considered a success, and he even let him kill it.
Tao suddenly stepped on the ground and suddenly rushed into the sky, rushing towards the large hollow in the distance.
The future Tree Continent has not yet been fully formed. It is just a prototype at the moment. It is actually more like a larger island than a continent, with various successful creations stored on it. Beyond the island is the large hollow.
Continuously seeping falling fresh water.
The three brothers and sisters Momohara Tsuki are the only three intelligent creatures on this island, and they have been born here for more than ten years.
The young Tao thought that they were the only ones in the world, and everything outside was barren; but Handle didn't think so. He stayed on the island for a long time, and he always felt that there was a broader world outside the island, in the big hole.
There may be some unknown secrets waiting to be discovered, and I want to find out.
In some respects, the handle is right, because there are more "big holes" in other parts of the world outside the island, but he doesn't know that the big holes, together with the spiritual world outside the gap, are pulling
Mastia was the creation that was constructed there and then dropped into the world.
Beyond the big hole is the spiritual world, which is indeed more dangerous for these little mythical creatures who have just been born for more than ten years.
At this moment, the closer Little Tao gets to the huge hole in the sky, the more her heart palpitates. It's not that she has never been here before. She often comes here to catch her brother running around, but she has never felt like this.
wrong.
Tsk, fuck that guy!
"handle?!"
Tao had no choice but to stop on the trunk of a big tree, looked around, and was forced to call out his brother's name.
But after calling for a moment or two, Tao suddenly recalled what Ping had just said and felt that it was not worth it. Those words hurt her and made her feel a little grievance and anger in her still immature heart.
Because Shan was right, Tao had never seen what their mother looked like at all.
They were only born more than ten years ago, and they don't know anything about their mother or the world. Since her birth, she can only live here under the guidance of her mother's words.
She believed that her mother would not harm them, and her mother also told Momo alone that because she was the eldest sister, she hoped that she could protect her younger siblings. It was for this reason that Momo was nosy and concerned about the safety of Kara and Tsuki every day.
He was obviously doing it for their own good, but he still let this guy go against him all day long.
Forget it, just let him wait for death outside alone! I am too lazy to care about him!
The more Tao thought about it, the angrier she became. She was about to turn around and leave when she was halfway there. However, at this moment, an indistinct cry suddenly came from her ears.
"Ahhhhh!"
It's the sound of the handle.
Just as Tao was about to move, she stopped in place. She hesitated again and again, but she still sighed and turned around. With a stinky face, she still tapped the branch with her toes and rushed towards the place where the cry came from.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
"Boom!"
At this moment, at the edge of the island, a handle covered in leaves punched a weird creature with a twisted body. The weird creature had a strong aura of authority. While it was strong, every move it made would bring up the people around it.
Changes in the world.
But the young man's spirit is calm and composed. He often runs to the big hollow in private. He has never seen what kind of failed creation he is. He has long been addicted to this kind of fighting. He just feels happy!
"Gululu!"
The twisted creature in front of me seemed to have just washed out of the fresh water outside the island. It had countless mouthparts all over its body, and slender tentacles like tongues protruded from it.
Also more proud.
He clenched his fists and seemed to regard the annoying guy in front of him as Tao. The black hair on his head turned white little by little, which was the activation of the power given to him by his mother.
"Now"
Handle chuckled, looking at the twisted creation that hit him like a mountain, he suddenly opened his fingers, and the creation and the space and time around him began to condense strangely, as if they were frozen at this moment, unable to move forward.
Cannot go back.
"Giggle"
But the ability of the creature is really powerful, and the handle's methods are too immature. As soon as he restrained it, the handle confidently and boldly clenched his fist to give him a fatal blow, but he didn't expect that in the next second, the creature's body
The space around him suddenly shattered, and countless tentacles stretched out from his mouth and rushed towards him.
"Ahhhhh!"
He screamed in surprise, but the fist in his hand moved faster and punched the creature in the face.
"Boom!"
The huge force directly blasted it away, and the handle panted and was about to continue the attack when Tao suddenly fell from the sky and directly smashed through the creation, landing on the ground.
Handle was stunned for a moment, looked at the sister in front of him who was no longer as tall as him, and said angrily,
"Whatever you did, I almost beat it to death!"
"Haha, I only saw that you almost missed it. These failed creations will disappear on their own soon. Why do you keep looking for them and put yourself in danger just because you are bored?"
"I don't think they will disappear on their own! I have studied them before. I killed them and smuggled the body back to the cave. It would not disappear for several months! Then I took it back to the edge of the island and threw it away.
After that, he disappeared overnight!”
"ha?"
Tao was stunned for a moment, looking at the dead failed creation with the same mythical rank at her feet, she kicked the corpse away and said to the handle,
"So what? What's the point of always studying these? I'm just asking you to pay attention to your own safety. Is it so difficult?"
"I don't need you to worry about it. I'm already taller than you. I could have solved it easily just now."
As he spoke with his rebellious and arrogant little face, he was suddenly stunned when he saw Tao Gong's expression. He quickly stretched out his hand and pointed at Tao Gong's back,
"Taotao, your back"
"mine"
Tao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly found that her body had been covered by a large shadow. She turned her head and looked back, but was horrified to find a huge red dragon head floating on the shore, with a pair of huge dragon eyes.
He looked at the two little kids on the shore without any trouble.
What on earth is this?
This existence in front of you is so powerful!
"Of course, of course they will all disappear, because I am responsible for cleaning them up. I said that a few months ago, a mother's failed creation could not be found. It turned out that it was secretly taken away by you little things.
You have the smell of World Tree on your body, why didn’t I know when she created you?”
"Ahhh"
Tao was so frightened that he couldn't speak. Their modest skills were like little peas in front of the extremely powerful dragon in front of them. Just the way he spoke made Tao and Handle speechless. Handle
Unable to live up to expectations, he suddenly fell to the ground and couldn't stand up.
"What are you?"
But at the critical moment, Tao still reluctantly opened her mouth and looked at the giant dragon in front of her and asked.
The giant dragon chuckled and raised its claws, which were bigger than the mountains. As soon as the claws flicked, the failed creation on the ground suddenly turned into fly ash and disappeared.
"Me? I am Fema Bach, a brother of Yggdrasil and a descendant of the Lord God."
Tao swallowed nervously, seeing the descendant created by World Tree trembling in front of her, Femma Bach felt happy, and remembered the previous frustration.
As mentioned before, the three demigods have their own responsibilities.
Fermat Bach is responsible for guarding the gap, while the Lock of Heaven is responsible for guarding the boundaries of the world, and the World Tree is rooted in the depths of the world and is responsible for guarding reality.
So, according to the original classification, World Tree should be responsible for cleaning up these failed creations that may threaten the world and have a strong aura of authority (chaos) after they fall. However, World Tree said that the big hole that created the creation first passed through the cracks.
Those who re-enter the world should first examine and eliminate failed creations at the cracks. Those who fell into the world are all because of Fermat Bach, and of course he is the one who cleans them up.
The other two demigods knew about Fema Bach's temperament. There were only a few days of fulfilling his duties in the cracks. He was running around the world like a street kid every day, so Lamastia agreed to the world.
According to the tree, let him deal with the failed creations left behind
The Dragon God, who was originally able to sleep well and wander around, suddenly had more work to do, and it was all because of that nonsense (to be honest) Yggdrasil.
So at this moment, when he saw the two children secretly created by World Tree, his uncle, who was a demigod, suddenly had a bad taste.
But he saw Fema Bach's dragon face suddenly collapse. He looked at the trembling handle, stretched out his dragon claws in a threatening manner, and said to him,
"Haha, you secretly took away the failed creation. This was a serious crime. What do you think I should do to punish you?"
"Ah? Punish me?"
Handle was so frightened that his face turned pale and he said this in disbelief.
"Yes, do I want to eat you? Or, do I lock you in the water and never move? By the way, how about I find a place to bury you, and then lift a big mountain and put it on your
How about I lock you up for hundreds of years with only one head exposed?"
"Hundreds of years?!"
How pitiful it is that Handu only lived for more than ten years! If he was left unable to move in one place for hundreds of years, he would rather die!
But how can a child tell whether the words spoken by the demigods are true or false? Both Tao and Shan feel that what Fema Bach said is true, and the adults who scare the children are really annoying, with revenge against the World Tree.
, at this moment, he also stretched out his claws unscrupulously, and further threatened to lift him up.
"That's right. Since you were caught today, come with me and accept your punishment."
"No, don't!"
Handle was so frightened that his two legs trembled, and just when the dragon's claws were about to fall, Tao shouted with a pale face,
"Stop!!"
Fema Bach was stunned for a moment, but he saw another elf who was not as tall as the little boy suddenly stood in front of him, stretched out his arms, raised his head, and shouted loudly to himself,
"He is my brother! I don't allow you to take him away!!"
"Oh? Just you?"
Fima Bach sneered, and the huge claws fell down in an instant. Tao's face changed, and he quickly retreated backwards, and by the way, he also ran with his unsatisfactory body, which had already softened from fear.
"Walk!"
"Boom!"
Along with the loud noise of the earth shaking and the mountains shaking, it was actually loud thunder and small raindrops. If Fermat Bach really wanted to take action, these two little guys would be down in an instant.
But even this threatening attack still caused large tracts of trees on the island to fall down, and Tao was also thrown away by the huge impact. She held her brother and spun around in the air several times.
He rolled around on the ground a few times, his body was dirty, but he still ran towards the cave with his brother regardless of the risk.
Tao was so scared that every muscle in her body was trembling uncontrollably, and even tears flowed from her eyes.
But even so, she still ran forward with her brother, unwilling to stop.
"Yo"
Fima Bach had some surprises. He didn't expect that the little girl created by his sister was so strong. His huge dragon body climbed up the island and moved forward menacingly, as if he was bullying a chicken.
Chase them.
From time to time, he would randomly spit out terrifying beams of light and fire walls from his mouth, blocking their escape direction and causing the entire island to tremble.
Tao, who was holding the handle, didn't even dare to look back. She just hugged the handle tightly and ran forward.
At this moment, her mind was blank, or it seemed that a still immature soul was left with only instinct when encountering such a thing. She didn't know if running back to the cave was of any use, or if she could stop the descendant of the main god behind her.
She can only run
The only thing she thought about was to run away with her brother.
"Ha ha"
Tao was so scared that tears flowed down uncontrollably, and behind him, Fermat Bach's joyful voice accompanied the giant claws falling bit by bit, making Tao's body tremble even more.
"Haha, where do you want to run to?"
"Woo!"
"Sister woo woo"
In her arms, Handle's whimpering made Tao, who had been unable to run, speed up her pace again. She stamped on the ground, not daring to take off, and sprinted out again using the cover of the trees behind her.
She didn't know how slow their speed was in Fima Bach's eyes, but when Fima Bach wanted to raise his paws again to scare these two poor children, a golden streak appeared in the sky.
The beam of light suddenly fell from the void and hit him on the head.
"Buzz buzz"
"Roar!!"
Femma Bach was hit by the force of the huge beam and fell to the ground. He was so angry that he raised his head and roared, but what came towards him was more golden beams.
He quickly fluttered his wings and flew up, struggling to dodge in mid-air. However, because of the Loom of Destiny, no matter how he hid, the beam of light could hit his body steadily, causing him to spin around in confusion.
The head flies away.
"Roar!!"
The horrifying roar in the sky behind made Tao dare not look back at all. She just rushed forward holding the handle, and soon ran back to the cave where they lived. Tsuki inside was smiling and cleaning up after being kicked out by the handle just now.
When he saw them coming back, he walked out with a smile and said,
"You are back"
"Hahaha"
But Tao, with tears and sweat on her face, put her frighteningly limp brother on the ground, then cautiously ran to the door and looked outside the cave, fearing that the terrifying dragon would catch up.
"What's the matter, sister?"
"Don't come out, stay in the cave and don't say a word!"
Tao looked outside the cave nervously, her little body trembling with fear. Tsuki could only nod her head and looked back at the handle who was hugging her body on the ground and crying with tears on her face.
"Oh sister, I was wrong, wuwu"
Tao looked back at Handi with a pale face, but didn't care about him anymore. She just squeezed her little hand, looked at the dimming sky outside, and whispered,
"It seems to have calmed down. Let's all go to bed early and don't go out. Do you hear me?"
"Well, woo woo"
It was night, both Kara and Tsuki had fallen asleep. Kara was so scared that he couldn't sleep the night before, but he just experienced the battle and fright today, and he was still young, so how could he withstand staying up so late? It didn't take long for him to fall asleep.
While having nightmares, he fell on the bed next to him.
It was pitch black in the cave, and Tao didn't even dare to light a fire. She just leaned against the entrance of the cave. As the eldest sister, she still couldn't feel relieved, so she stayed at the entrance of the cave to keep vigil, fearing that the giant dragon would catch up with her again.
It was past midnight, and any disturbance would frighten Mr. Tao, who had already left a shadow in his mind.
The terrifying roar and breath added a touch of fear to her sleepiness and exhaustion.
"Wow, I was wrong."
She turned to look at her younger brother and sister who had fallen asleep in the cave. Finally, her strength faded a little.
Tao hugged her petite and cold body with trembling arms. Even though her eyelids were extremely tired, she still refused to close her eyes.
just in case
If the dragon comes again later, if they all sleep, they will definitely be eaten together.
Tao thought so, and the trembling in her body caused by fear, fear and cold became more and more serious.
She lowered her head, feeling increasingly sleepy after all. Even the strongest, her will to protect her younger siblings was still no match for her young body at the moment.
She silently fell limply at the door of the cave, and finally turned into a young child again. Her eyelids struggled and trembled as she tried to open them, but she was already getting sleepier and sleepier.
""
Tao suddenly remembered what Shi Ping said this morning.
In fact, she had never seen her mother's true face. Even as the eldest sister, she would feel fear and fear, but she had never told Kara and Tsuki about this feeling.
Only in the middle of the night, Tao couldn't help but close her eyes, her little body curled up together, and leaned fragilely on the hard floor at the entrance of the cave.
At this moment, outside the cave, flowing light spots like fireflies suddenly flew from unknown places outside the cave. They first flew over Tao, and then flew over Shan Na who was trapped in the nightmare.
The struggling face flew past Tsuki's face that kept smiling even in his sleep.
After that, they all finally surrounded Tao, who was the only one not sleeping on the bed, but leaning firmly on the hard floor of the cave.
That little bit of golden light surrounded her, becoming more and more, getting warmer and brighter.
"Well"
Tao Mi opened her eyes hazily. The sleepiness and confusion made her unable to distinguish between reality and dreams for a moment, and she could only moan in a pitiful voice.
And before her eyes, the golden light like fireflies had converged into the bright figure of a loving, long-eared woman whose face could not be seen clearly.
The figure gently stretched out its warm hands, hugged the elf who was curled up and sleeping on the hard floor, and let her lean into the soft embrace formed by fluorescence.
"Well"
The warm big hands patted her back, allowing Tao to stretch out comfortably in her arms, and then the big hands touched her head, her long ears and black hair, making Tao
more relaxed
This unprecedented feeling of warmth, this unprecedented sense of security makes Tao linger, as light and comfortable as floating on the clouds.
She is so sleepy, getting sleepier and sleepier
If you fall asleep now, it will definitely be the most comfortable sleep you've ever had, right?
She thought so, but couldn't think of any words to describe the feeling at this moment.
Her blank brain was unable to function, so Tao could only mumble in a daze,
"mother mother"
The glowing figure was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly and held the little peach in his arms, holding him tighter.
Just before she fell asleep, a loving female voice suddenly sounded softly in her ears,
"Tao, you did a great job."
"Peach Gong?"
"Peach Gong?"
Valentina called out to Mr. Peach in her head with some worry, because usually Mr. Peach would have woken up when she came, but today he had been up for several hours, and no matter how Valentina called her, he was still awake.
There was no reply, which made Valentina very worried.
Could it be that something happened?
"Woo"
But just when Valentina was very worried, a voice like a child's whimpering suddenly sounded in her mind, which made Valentina breathe a sigh of relief and couldn't help laughing at the same time.
"Aww, what time is it now, bastard fish?"
There was silence in my mind for a moment, and after a long yawn, Tao Gong's feeble voice sounded again.
"It's ten o'clock, Mr. Tao. You were acting like a child just now, and you actually stayed in bed? Your voice is so cute."
"Oh, trash fish."
Mr. Tao's voice immediately sobered him up. Although it was still the voice of a child, the feeling it gave Valentina was completely different.
It's like a child hiding in his mother's swaddling clothes one moment, and the next moment he is an old monster who has lived for who knows how many tens of thousands of years.
Thinking of this feeling, Valentina was also a little curious, so she asked Mr. Peach,
"By the way, Mr. Tao, your appearance as a child before was actually not your original appearance, right?"
"uh-huh"
Mr. Tao has always looked like a child, but Valentina remembers seeing a phantom of her image in Zhen Bing's dream. Her real appearance was not a child, but an adult.
"Then why do you always look like a child?"
"I like it, can't I?"
"How should I put it, there is a bit of a contrast? She is obviously the eldest sister of the entire elf species, but her true appearance is as small as her mother's child. Or maybe it's because you, Mr. Tao, are nostalgic, so you have always been in the 'past'
appearance?"
"Oh, you're so annoying. You're just asking questions. It's so annoying to be woken up by you in my dream, and you still want to talk."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Peach." Valentina smiled slightly and apologized without sincerity, but she was still a little curious and couldn't help but ask, "Does Mr. Peach also have dreams?"
"I am an elf and not a monster. Is it weird to dream?"
"I'm just curious, what kind of dream would it have if it were Tao Gong? Since you can't forget to leave, it should be a sweet dream."
"Hmm, just a little bit about the past."
"You really like the past, Mr. Tao."
"Okay, okay, why did you wake me up, Zayu?"
This time, Tao Gong didn't escape, he just replied casually and asked Valentina what was going on.
"The method you taught me before, Mr. Tao, was very effective. Now the sycamore tree is on the right track. I don't know if Princess Yue is still here. What will she think when she sees the sycamore tree now? She will be dissatisfied."
"Haha, is there anything wrong with the way I teach you? As for what she will say, she will say it."
Tao Gong laughed, but at the end of her words, the smile and the sentence suddenly stuck in her mouth. She was silent for a while, and then she continued to laugh,
"You did a great job, Valentina."
Please vote, tip and support, this is very important to me!
